World-class directors in the entertainment industry

"Director, Qin, Martin and I are old friends, but this transaction, precisely because of Martin's relationship, has actually lowered the value of my company Casa."

Ralph realized something was wrong and took the initiative to explain:

"He said that you are a talented director, and you have already planned your future. I even knew about the filming of [The Hunger Games] movie, so Martin knew my feelings for Casa Film and Television and knew that I could not bear the disappearance of the company.

"

"So you want me to sell the company to you. As long as you keep the name of the company, I agree to a lower price."

"You can ask a law firm to check the valuation of Casa Film and Television Company. It is definitely lower than the contract amount we signed in advance."

"I can guarantee this. If not, I would like the company to give it to you free of charge."

Qin Dong squinted his eyes and glanced back and forth from Ralph and Martin.

He is not an imposing person. Although he is usually casual, he is very cautious in his actions.

Just like when he was not famous, when he stayed in a hotel out of town, he would ask his bodyguards to search every corner of the hotel room carefully before he could check in with confidence.

"OK, Mary."

"BOSS."

"What are the large law firms here? Contact one of them for me and tell me that I have business now."

"Okay, BOSS, I'll contact you right away."

After giving instructions to Mary, Qin Dong said to Ralph:

"Ralph, you can go back to Casa now. Go back to the company and wait. Someone will go to your company to take stock and estimate the value of Casa Film and Television Company. We will discuss the specific matters tomorrow, if everything is okay.

, then we will officially sign the contract tomorrow, and Casa Film and Television Company can move here the day after tomorrow."

Ralph didn't care about Qin Dong's actions. These were normal business behaviors. He nodded:

"Okay, I'll go back and wait now."

After Ralph left, Qin Dong's expression dropped, and he looked at Martin and said in a cold tone:

"Martin, I hope this is the first and last time. I once said not to give others a second chance. I will say this to you again now."

"You are my agent, there are some things you shouldn't hide from me."

"Next time, please leave voluntarily."

This matter can be big or small, but Qin Dong seized the opportunity to make something happen. He is not a good person. Although he is usually very talkative, he has to give outsiders a little color from time to time, otherwise he will think that he is easy to bully in the long run.

"Oh, Qin, it's my fault. I apologize to you. I didn't think clearly."

Seeing Qin Dong's cold face, Martin realized his mistake and apologized quickly:

"I promise there will never be another time like this."

Seeing Martin's attitude, Qin Dong softened his expression.

Even though Martin's status seems to be higher than Qin Dong's, it's actually two different things. He has no desires, so he has no demands. Qin Dong doesn't care about the strength of Martin's company, so he doesn't care about this person's status. In his opinion, Martin is his agent.

, a broker serves the employer.

"Remember, Martin, this is the first and last time."

Martin agreed seriously:

"No problem, Qin. I didn't do well this time, and I apologize."

"Actually, except for my relationship with Ralph, I really lowered the valuation of Casa Film and Television. Both Ralph and the employees of his company are old people in this industry. I think in fact they

He is very powerful, but lacks a lot of background and connections."

"So I told Ralph at that time that you are destined to be a big international director in the future. If the company is sold to you, you will definitely be able to flourish. And since you are not here often, I think Ralph can stay and continue to manage the company."

"Of course, it's up to you, Qin, to decide. I'm just your agent. I'll give you some suggestions that are good for you."

After Qin Dong listened, he took out his cigar and cut it slowly. Without saying anything for a while, he cut two cigars and threw one to Martin. He lit one and took a deep puff. White smoke came out of his mouth:

"Well, it seems like you're paying attention, Martin."

"After the people from the law firm check the situation of Casa Film and Television Company, if there are no problems, of course I can let all these people, including Ralph, stay."

"It's exactly as you said. I'm not here. There is a knowledgeable old man managing the company. I feel relieved. I just need to arrange a few accountants and other employees to come over and supervise the development of the company."

Qin Dong said it very straightforwardly, no matter how good the relationship between Martin and Ralph was, it was not a problem.

I just took advantage of the situation to suppress Martin and let this man understand what kind of person he is.

As for keeping Ralph, Qin Dong has already arranged the general direction of the company for small matters. These people are just helping him work and manage the company. As for the accounting department, lawyers, etc., Qin Dong must arrange for his own people to supervise these positions.

of.

"Thanks."

Martin had recognized Qin Dong again and said this sentence at this time.

...

After walking out of the Death Star building, Qin Dong went directly to the Hollywood branches of several of the largest law firms on Wall Street.

The contract was signed and these people were asked to thoroughly investigate the assets of Casa Film and Television Company.

After that, Qin Dong did not sit idle. Instead, he hired a private detective company and asked the company to investigate the matter of Ralph Casa.

Qin Dong listened to what Martin said. It was one thing to agree on the surface, but how could he really not ask anything in private?

Qin Dong can do one thing on the surface and another behind the scenes, and he doesn't reject it.

Since he is looking for someone to manage the [Black Water Dragon Flag] company on his behalf, he naturally needs to know the details of this person.

If you are not familiar with the place, and you don't often live here, if you just ask someone to manage it, who can feel at ease? Anyone who can feel at ease is a fool.

Don't do too many things like this. If you don't pay attention, you can hollow out the company, and you won't be able to find a handle. This kind of trick is necessary.

As the saying goes, you must not have the intention to harm others, and you must have the intention to guard against others.

It's better to be more cautious as a human being.

...

It was not until a few days later that Qin Dong obtained the asset investigation certificate of Casa Film and Television Company and information about Ralph Casa from AAC Law Firm and private investigators.

After reading it in detail, Qin Dong felt relieved.

At present, Martin's words are correct. After investigating the assets of Casa Film and Television, AAC, one of the world's top ten law firms, found that the company's assets are valued at approximately US$15 million.

After Martin reported to Qin Dong on the phone before, the pre-signed contract signed on his behalf was only worth 10 million US dollars.

This kind of well-equipped film and television company has distribution qualifications and a film library with dozens of movies. Although they are all spicy movies, they are not famous. In addition, all departments of the company are sound, and the employees do not say how good they are, but at least they are...

He is an old man and has been doing this for more than ten years. In all aspects, Qin Dong thinks he is really good.

After carefully looking at the information of Ralph Casa, Qin Dong discovered that this man really loves this industry and is indeed very attentive.

It's a pity that in this industry, you must first have money, and secondly, you need talents.

If you don’t have money or people with vision, you won’t be able to see good scripts. Even if you see them, you won’t have the money to film them. It’s difficult to recommend them to big companies. Who in the big Hollywood companies doesn’t have N scripts?

It doesn't mean that the film is good only if the script is good. There are a lot of truths here.

Of course, if there is a big director, these problems can be easily solved, but unfortunately these are not something that small film and television companies can pry into.

"Ralph, you will continue to manage the company from now on. I hope you won't disappoint me."

"Director...BOSS, I will manage the company well. After all, this is my life's work."

A few days later, Qin Dong officially signed a contract with Ralph at the [Black Water Dragon Flag] Company and agreed that this person would continue to manage it.

Ralph officially joined the [Blackwater Dragon Flag] company.

And [Casa Film and Television Company] is a company controlled by [Blackwater Dragon Flag]. This is to keep Ralph. This person does not want the Casa Film and Television Company's brand name to disappear. Qin Dong doesn't care, so the acquisition will be regarded as a subsidiary.

Well, these things don't matter.

"Qin, Ralph, this is something worth celebrating. Come, let's have a drink together."

As Qin Dong's agent, Martin must be present at this kind of scene.

At this time, he was holding three glasses of champagne and talking with a smile.

"Martin, thank you, my old friend."

Ralph took the champagne and thanked Martin.

"Forget it, Ralph, we are old friends, so please be polite. Casa Film and Television Company now belongs to Qin. I think Casa's name will be resounding throughout Hollywood in the future."

Martin clearly knew what his old friend Ralph was thinking, and said with a smile.

This is also the reason why he lowered the price. First, for Qin Dong's consideration, lowering the price is in line with the employer's expectations.

The second is to satisfy Ralph's wishes. This man has devoted his whole life to Casa Film and Television Company.

Spend less money and let Casa Films save it.

This is a condition acceptable to both parties.

Moreover, after the establishment of Casa Film and Television Company, even if Ralph did not receive any dividends, once the company became bigger, he did not believe that Qin Dong could treat Ralph badly. Although the company was sold, Martin estimated that Ralph's annual income was even higher than when he started the company.

Much more.
