World-class directors in the entertainment industry

"Thank you, Martin, for everything you've done..."

"Wow, Miss Swift, no need to thank me, because someone needs to thank me, and that person is not you, who it is, you know, haha..."

After Martin Bob left Big Machine Records, he got in the car and on the way back to CAA, he took out his cell phone and dialed a number.

The owner of the number is undoubtedly Taylor Swift, the current global superstar in the music industry.

"Haha, I know, but I also need to thank you, Martin."

"Okay, let's stop talking here. I think someone will call after your phone call. Remember my instructions, Miss Swift, you must refuse to renew the contract, but don't be too firm, be hesitant, but let

The other party feels that there is a low probability that you will renew the contract, but there is a high probability that you will not renew the contract..."

Martin warned again carefully before hanging up the phone.

Regarding the music industry, CAA also has signed singers, but singers account for a small proportion of CAA's business. Therefore, even if Taylor Swift is a superstar in the global music industry, Martin does not pay much attention to it. If she is a superstar in the film industry,

Superstars, in Martin's mind, are more important than superstars in the music industry...

"Don't worry, I guarantee it will be completed."

On the phone, Taylor reassured himself before hanging up.

Martin meant well, and the matter was related to Taylor's future. He helped because of her boyfriend's sake, and Taylor also knew the importance.

"Dingling bell..."

After hanging up the phone, Taylor thought about this incident carefully, and sure enough, after a while, her phone rang again.

"Scott, good afternoon..."

"What? Now? Okay, I'll go to the company in a minute."

Seeing that the phone number was her boss, Scott Borchetta, the president of Big Machine Records who had given her a chance to release records, Taylor answered the phone and greeted her politely.

"Linlin, go wake up your cousin. What time is it? The dumplings will be rotten soon. Wake him up for breakfast."

The morning of a new day.

Liu Lan walked out of the kitchen and saw that most of the family was there, except for one precious son. After looking around, Liu Lan found the person who was running the errands.

Liu Lan couldn't bear to handle the three future daughters-in-law. Qin Jianjun, this is the head of the old Qin family. The head of the family, he could still handle them when he didn't have any daughters-in-law. Now he has to give the head the face, so in the end he can only handle his niece.

.

"...I know, Auntie, I'll go right away."

Liu Xiulin woke up early in the morning and was sitting with her cousin's wife waiting for breakfast. Unexpectedly, she was being manipulated.

However, the smart niece looked around and found that she seemed to be the only one running errands.

"Mom, what are you having for breakfast today..."

Ten minutes later, Qin Dong washed up and walked down.

After asking, he politely sat down at the dining table, like a great gentleman, waiting for his mother to come up with breakfast.

"dumpling."

Liu Lan didn't care about her son's behavior. In her heart, serving the whole family dinner was a very normal thing, and she wouldn't feel any displeasure.

"What kind of stuffing?"

"Shepherd's purse, didn't you say you like to eat shepherd's purse? I bought the shepherd's purse specially."

Liu Lan, with the help of her niece, Mimi, and Xianxian, served dumplings to the whole family and said casually.

As for Sisi, this is the big baby of the family. It is a national treasure and a giant panda. A pregnant woman must not move around casually. Liu Lan will not let Sisi help at all when serving meals like this.

“Shepherd’s purse is delicious.”

Qin Dong showed a happy expression when he heard this. Compared with celery, leeks and the like, dumplings with the flavor of shepherd's purse were Qin Dong's favorite.

"People nowadays stutter. In the past, shepherd's purse was only eaten by the poor. Other stuffings were not easy to eat. Even if you grow celery and leeks, you have to sell them for money. How can anyone be willing to eat them themselves?

, it would be nice if you could eat minced meat once a year. At that time, there were only shepherd’s purses all over the mountains and plains, allowing the poor to pick them at will.”

Qin Jianjun was also motionless. Just like Qin Dong, the old man was still squatting on the chair, waiting for the meal to be served.

Hearing this, he smiled and talked about his second son's taste, as if he had experienced it.

"Your dad is right. We used to eat dumplings. During festivals, they cut two ounces of meat to make dumplings. They were from good families. They only had dumplings stuffed with shepherd's purse. If you find time to dig them up in the barren mountains and plains, you can often eat them."

When the dumplings were served, Liu Lan said something casually after sitting down.

Liu Lan, like Qin Jianjun, didn't like dumplings filled with shepherd's purse stuffing.

This kind of thing was something they could eat in their time, but it was not easy to eat dumplings with other fillings back then.

"Auntie, what era did you and uncle talk about? Times have changed. Let alone my cousin, I don't even remember what I ate when I was poor."

Liu Xiulin was very satisfied after eating a dumpling. It tasted very good. The shepherd's purse was so delicious that she started to argue smoothly.

Thirty-year-old Liu Xiulin, although life was difficult in the 1980s when she was born, she was still young and ignorant at that time. When she became sensible in the 1990s, life was much better at that time, but she did not remember much about her past.

I no longer have the memory of eating good food.

"You, when you were born a few years ago, you were always clamoring for meat. Remember that year..."

"Dingling bell..."

Hearing this, Liu Lan started talking about her niece's childhood embarrassments. At this time, a cell phone ringtone came from the living room.

"Your phone number..."

This kind of ringtone, the whole family knows belongs to Qin Dong.

Even Liu Lan and Qin Jianjun, two people in their fifties, have cell phone ringtones that are not as good as Qin Dong's. Tubula's most primitive ding-ding-ding ringtone makes people know that it belongs to Qin Dong as soon as they hear it.

After Sisi heard the ringtone, she glanced at Qin Dong, then stood up and went to the living room to get Qin Dong's cell phone.

Since there are too many phone calls during the New Year, Qin Dong doesn't even bother to take his phone to the bedroom before going to bed, and just throws it in the living room.

"HELLO, good morning, Martin."

"Dear Qin, good evening...Happy New Year."

When he saw the number, Qin Dong knew it was his manager and took the initiative to greet him after he was connected.

Martin responded politely on the phone, and finally wished Qin Dong New Year greetings in broken Chinese.

It was morning in China, and it was evening in Los Angeles. The greetings between the two people were very interesting.

"Thanks."

"Qin, in addition to wishing you a happy new year, the things you told me before are almost done now. It will most likely be completed in three days."

"Oh, tell me more about it, Martin."

"It's like this. In the past half month, I've been to Big Machine Records four times, like this, like this, like that, etc..."

Qin Dong was eating dumplings while quietly listening to Martin's narration on the phone.

Taylor Swift is the woman Qin Dong likes and loves. In this case, Qin Dong must of course consider his woman.

They are all his own women, and to let his own women work for others is something Qin Dong absolutely cannot bear.

Therefore, Qin Dong naturally had his mind set on signing a contract with Taylor's Big Machine Records. However, he did not have the eloquence and was not very proficient in these matters, not to mention that it was a foreign territory. If he had connections in China, Qin Dong would leave this matter to Martin.

It is absolutely appropriate for the president of CAA to handle this matter. Of course, after the matter is completed, Qin Dong will also give Martin some benefits.

If you just ask people to do things without spending money, then the next time something happens, others will definitely not be happy, and even if it is done, they will never care. This is not the way to live in the world.
