All-in-one Sign

"It exploded, it exploded, boss, it exploded..."

In the mansion in Beverly Hills, Xu Ang was packing his luggage to prepare for going to Chicago for the third game of the Finals against the Bulls. Lasseter ran in like a madman.

While he was running, he was shouting with ecstasy, completely unable to see the stability that a president in charge of a company should have.

Seeing him like this, Xu Ang could only stop what he was doing and motioned for him to sit down and talk.

"John, I know you have good news to tell me, but you can do it in other ways instead of being so exaggerated."

The meaning of Xu Ang's words is very obvious, Lasseter, you have overplayed it.

It's a good thing to come to tell you the good news, but if you have other thoughts, then I'm sorry, Xu Ang will not press the matter just because you are here to tell the good news.

Xu Ang has a deeper understanding of Westerners, especially Americans, than his compatriots of this era.

In the words of the ancients, that is: Westerners are barbarians.

The barbarians are afraid of power but not virtuous.

They will only obey the stronger one, and they will not be grateful for your kindness to them, but always want to get more from you. So if you want them to be obedient and do things for you, you have to hit them when they raise their tails to let them know that their little thoughts cannot be hidden from your eyes, and they will not dare to have more ideas.

Lasseter was very measured when he came to Xu Ang before, knowing that he should behave like a subordinate, but this time he shouted loudly and was obviously distracted.

Xu Ang estimated that Pixar's movies were successful at the box office and word-of-mouth, and Lasseter got carried away by the series of successes and had thoughts he shouldn't have.

Right now, he just has ideas and doesn't dare to take action. If Xu Ang doesn't beat him this time, he will put his heart into action if he can't keep it safe.

Think about the big boss Huang Guomei who sells electrical appliances. He looked at the professional manager hired by the thatched cottage. Didn't he also have evil thoughts when he encountered trouble?

Looking at Lunan in the pharmaceutical industry, the boss also trusted the lawyer too much and almost had all the family property taken away by others.

If you observe carefully, you will find that the professional managers and lawyers who did these things were greatly influenced by Western ideas. This is true even for those of them who were only influenced by Western ideas. So what about Westerners?

Anyway, Xu Ang will not lose his vigilance.

After Xu Ang revealed the little trick, Lasseter felt very embarrassed. He found that Xu Ang was indeed Xu Ang, and there were many differences from the Chinese people he had come into contact with.

He does not have the excessive generosity and gentleness of the Chinese people, nor does he have the filter of the Chinese people towards the West that has been influenced by Western propaganda. Instead, he is shrewd and insightful.

Both in business and in terms of looking after people, his boss was extremely special, and Lasseter quickly extinguished some of the budding thoughts in his heart.

He knew that even though he was now the president of Pixar and could rule the roost within Pixar, if he dared to have inappropriate thoughts, he would be the first to be killed.

No longer having any unwanted thoughts, Lasseter put away his unwanted temptations and said cautiously: "Boss, the box office is a blast. Fast and Furious 1 is a huge hit at the box office."

Xu Ang sat still, he was unhurried, but Yang Xiaomi was anxious. The latter asked Lasseter: "Has the first-day box office of the movie been released? How much is it? Director Jiang hasn't sent me a letter yet. Maybe he doesn't know it himself."

As the president of Pixar, Lasseter had far better access to the news than Jiang Wu. It was not surprising that he had received the news but Jiang Wu had not.

"The first-day box office in North America reached 50 million, which is much more than the 30 million we expected."

Lasseter said: "Originally, the box office limit for a single film in the fast-paced genre is not too high. The advantage is that as long as it gets off to a good start, it can be turned into a series, and as long as the reputation does not collapse, it can continue to grow every year. Launch one. According to the company's internal estimates, the box office of this movie is close to 100 million, which may be a breakthrough, but it won't be much..."

Once things have words like but, but, the next direction will be very different.

"But the boss's appeal is really amazing. After receiving the box office data, I checked and found that many of the screenings of Fast and Furious 1 were reserved. Especially in Los Angeles and surrounding areas, almost every theater that has scheduled a Fast and Furious movie has been booked. All theaters are booked.”

Xu Ang raised his eyebrows: "Did the fans do it?"

"Probably, this is Los Angeles after all, and there are many middle-class people here."

There are many wealthy people in big cities. These people may not necessarily like to watch movies, but as long as Xu Ang plays the game they want to watch, they don't mind fulfilling their promises.

Isn’t it just a reserved venue? Why don’t I do it?

For many Clippers fans, as long as Xu Ang can help the team win the first championship trophy, they don't mind spending this money.

Smiling at Yang Xiaomi, Xu Ang said with a hint of ridicule: "Look, this is the United States. The whole world knows that American people are rich. This is Los Angeles. It has more middle class people than many countries. Now you understand Why is Hollywood located in this city?”

Yang Xiaomi said coquettishly: "Little girl, you have learned a lesson, my eldest master."

Xu Ang shivered and almost got goosebumps all over his body.

This woman, if she doesn't have sex for three days, she should be slapped and taught a lesson, otherwise she may become a monster at some point.

Wait and see how I deal with you when I have time.

Xu Ang threatened Yang Xiaomi with his eyes, and the latter gave him a wink back nonchalantly, as if to say: Come on, pretend I'm afraid of you

?

Lasseter coughed twice, hinting to Xu Ang and Yang Xiaomi: Don't be like this, I'm still here, don't think I'm air, okay?

Xu Ang said to Lasseter: "John, send the box office data of Fast and Furious to Director Jiang, and at the same time increase the publicity. This movie is the first in a series. Once it is done, it can be shot several times." Department, I hope it can get off to a good enough start. In addition, we will give relevant staff within the company a one-month bonus to make them more attentive.”

"Okay, boss."

Lasseter happily responded.

No one can have too much money, and Lasseter was no exception.

Compared to ordinary employees, Lasseter's extra one-month bonus would be many times more, not to mention that Pixar's stock price would rise if the Fast and Furious series could be successful.

Although his little idea was knocked out by Xu Ang, Lasseter was rewarded with a gigolo. Feeling that he had gained something, Lasseter left happily.

Looking at his back disappearing from sight, Xu Ang secretly thought: The domestic special effects studios and animation studios need to speed up the process. If there are no checks and balances, problems will occur sooner or later.

Eggs cannot be put in one basket.
