After receiving the investment, things started to increase. The company experienced a major expansion, with management and ordinary employees increasing by more than 30% from the original basis.

Originally, the company's management mainly consisted of five people: Duca, the hands-on boss, Monica, the executive president, Rod Steiger, the administrative director, Walter Meaney, the production director, and Lawrence Bender, the deputy director.

Duca is responsible for project decision-making, Monica is responsible for film and finance, Rod is responsible for daily management of the company, and Minnie and Laurence Band are responsible for specific film production.

Now that the company has more film projects, it needs more managers and producers to share the work. Just relying on a few of them will definitely be too busy.

At first he wanted to invite former Twentieth Century Fox president Barry Diller to run the company.

It’s just that after Barry Diller retired from the entertainment industry, he took over the QVC home shopping TV channel. He was busy with streaming media and TV shopping and had no interest in managing a new movie company.

However, Barry Diller recommended to him his former colleague at Paramount, former Paramount Pictures Vice President Scott Green, a 51-year-old veteran filmmaker with more than 30 years of experience in the industry.

Duca had a conversation with the other party once. He was very capable, experienced, mature and prudent. He was a very suitable manager. He invited the other party to serve as the CEO of LV Pictures.

Monica was directly promoted to president and was in charge of finance, while Rod Steiger was promoted to vice president and was still in charge of administration.

The production department also added two new people,

Scott Rudin, 35, Jonathan Gordon, 42.

Scott Rudin is an independent producer who has served as a co-producer of popular movies such as "The Addams Family" and "Sisters". He is young but has good abilities.

Jonathan Gordon once worked at MGM, serving as production director and distribution director. He has more than ten years of experience in the industry. Last year, MGM Pictures suffered losses and needed to lay off employees, so Jonathan also left MGM.

After Scott and Jonathan joined, Walter Meaney still served as the director of the production department, but he was older and not as energetic as the young people.

With the new hire, he no longer has to be responsible for specific film production. He is only responsible for the review and management of production projects. The specific work is left to Lawrence Band, Scott and Jonathan.

Laurence Band continues to work on Pulp Fiction and Cowgirl Blues projects, Scott Rudin is in charge of new project Speed, and Jonathan Gordon is in charge of developing Legends of the Fall.

"Sleepless in Seattle", which is currently in post-production, is still directed by Monica and Nora.

CEO Scott Green is responsible for the release of several new films, with three upcoming releases: "Black and White," "The Age of Innocence," "Escape from Las Vegas," "Pulp Fiction" and "Seattle."

Release date to be determined.

After arranging these tasks, Duka breathed a sigh of relief and could finally continue to be the hands-off shopkeeper.

"Big boss, are you recruiting employees just to be lazy?"

Monica held the coffee cup and smiled. She was wearing a black knee-length skirt, and her round buttocks were leaning against the desk, creating a sexy arc.

"It's not about being lazy, it's about leaving the work to people who are better at it. And for someone like me who can't do anything, it's best to do nothing."

"After all, it's just for laziness. However, Mr. Scott Green has a lot of experience in managing the company. Compared with him, I am far behind. How about giving him the position of president and I am only responsible for the finance?"

Monica smiled softly.

"You also want to be lazy? That's not possible. One of us must be in charge of the company. I have many things to do and don't have time to stay in the company, so I'll trouble you."

Dukara took the back of her hand and kissed it.

"I don't want to be lazy, but the company is big and there are too many things to do. I'm worried that I won't be able to do my job as president."

Monica held his neck with her hands, put her chin on his shoulder and said softly.

"It doesn't matter. Take your time. If anything happens, discuss it with me, Scott, and Minnie. Otherwise, you can find a few more assistants and let them do the work. You have to learn from me, and you can leave it to others.

Just leave everything to others as much as possible, we are the bosses and we don’t need to do everything ourselves.”

Duca pinched her cheek and smiled.

There are currently three shareholders of LV Pictures, he, Monica, and Quentin Tarantino.

He holds 93% of the shares, and Monica owns 5% of the shares donated by him.

Quentin originally owned 10%. After multiple capital injections and financings, the shares have become very small, but Duca still left him 2% of non-dilutable shares.

The remaining management members own 10% of the stock income and dividends and do not hold shares.

According to the current market value of LV Pictures, Monica is worth 4 million. Adding in dividends from several movies and other investment income, she is worth tens of millions of dollars. She is a truly rich woman.

"Dear, Linda is going to start a modeling company. She came to me to solicit investment. Do I want to invest a little?"

Monica asked again.

"Modeling company? Is it a company that selects long-legged beauties from all over the world? This is very interesting, how about I invest a little in it?"

Duka raised his eyebrows and smiled.

"Hey pervert, what do you want to do?"

Monica asked, holding his chin.

"Make money. There are more and more supermodels in the fashion industry, and the appearance fees are getting higher and higher. This shows that opening a modeling company is a good investment. How big is Linda prepared to do? She is the first generation supermodel, with experience and

Maybe the network can be expanded."

Duca said seriously.

"The competition in the modeling industry is also very fierce. Linda is planning to acquire a model agency worth about 1 million to train wild models to walk on the catwalk to make money. She invited me to invest a little. Since you said it is good, then I will invest 500,000."

Monica smiled slightly.

"Okay."

Duca nodded.

The more prosperous the economy is, the more developed the entertainment industry will be.

The entertainment industry mainly includes film and television, music, sports, games, fashion and other fields.

At this time, the Cold War was over and the world economy was in a period of vigorous development. If you started a modeling agency, you could basically make money as long as you didn't mess around.

He has shares in a music agency. If he sets up a model and sports agency to select and train some upcoming sports stars and supermodels, he will definitely earn hundreds of millions in the future.

Just thinking that in a few years, the stocks in his hands would be worth tens of billions or hundreds of billions, he had no motivation to start a business again.

After the meeting at the company at noon, Duka drove and left the company early.

The sunshine in Los Angeles is pretty good today, with a clear blue sky, occasional white clouds, and wisps of hot wind.

It is summer at this time, and the outdoor temperature is above 26°. If you walk on the streets for a long time, your skin will be tanned red.

In the summer, there were many pedestrians and tourists on the streets of Los Angeles, and the lanes were also crowded with various vehicles. Duca drove along Sunset Boulevard toward the South District, and finally stopped at the Los Angeles Shooting Training Club.

In February and March, he had more time and practiced shooting two days a week. When he got busy in April and May, his shooting practice time became once every two weeks. Coach Matthew Foster complained several times.

Today, taking advantage of the good weather and good mood, he came over to shoot a few shots, first practicing pistols and then sniping.

After coming from Mexico, he continued to practice for three years, and he made progress and regression compared to before.

The areas of improvement are in shooting accuracy and physical fitness, while the areas of improvement are in actual combat.

Back then, at a distance of more than a thousand meters in the desert, he killed the fleeing robbers with one shot from his M21 sniper rifle without blinking an eye.

It may not be possible to do it now. This is not a technological regression, but a mental laxity.

Bang~bang~

On the long-distance shooting range of the shooting club, he fired two shots in succession, knocking over two moving targets and hitting the red hearts on both of them. He still felt very good.

"It's a pity that there is no long-range rifle shooting competition in the Olympics, otherwise you could have won a few more gold medals."

Coach Matthew Foster put down his binoculars and said.

"It doesn't matter if I win a gold medal. If I were fighting in World War II, I would definitely be the kind of chicken-shooting hero who defends a city by myself."

Duka said with the corner of his mouth raised.

"Do you really want to kill someone?"

"Of course not. How could I have such perverted thoughts? I just feel sorry for my craftsmanship. It does not belong to this era."

Duca smiled.

In times of war, those who are physically strong will be assigned to the battlefield to defend their homeland and fight bloody battles.

In peaceful times, most of these people would be engaged in sports. If they are not put on the field, they will become unstable factors elsewhere.

"Are you going to participate in the World Shooting Championships in Milan next year?"

"Is there any bonus?"

"Of course, the prize money is not as large as the Olympic Games, but there is still a lot, and the brand you endorse will also provide you with corresponding rewards after you get the medal."

Matthew Foster laughed.

"Then give it a try. Only by participating in more competitions can you improve. By the way, when will the competition be next year?"

"May!"

"Fortunately, I can come back to watch the World Cup after the game."

Next year the World Cup will be held in the United States, and he still wants to join in the fun.

Bang bang~

Two more hearts were popped.
