Everyone looked at Penguin Ma with disdain when he said that.
Be a human, okay?
It won't work even if you change it, everyone saw it. Besides, can you guarantee that Lin Er didn't see it? Old Wang wasn't buying his act.
As soon as he heard Penguin Ma say that, Old Wang felt disgusted. Last time, this dog had also blocked his WeChat.
And now you want to change it?
No way.
Anyway, the African market isn't that big, and Penguin Ma can do a good job, just not as smoothly as Jack Ma.
Anything that makes Penguin Ma feel troubled will not be handed over to others.
Uh....
Penguin Ma was speechless when he heard Old Wang's explanation.
He found that Old Wang had been targeting him recently, extorting money from him, and tricking him in everything he did. He was simply not being human.
He scanned the group of people around him, and except for Du La Bide, no one seemed to be on his side.
o(╥﹏╥)o
That evening, Old Wang discussed the routine meeting for the next afternoon with Xia Lin. Xia Lin naturally supported it, as it was the company's first film.
The next day, after lunch, everyone rushed to Fenglin Entertainment Company.
As soon as they entered Fenglin Entertainment, Liu Qiangxi was the first to greet them. Seeing Xia Lin being escorted by everyone like a star, Liu Qiangxi shamelessly smiled and greeted her:
"Good day, Chairman."
Although Liu Qiangxi had never met Xia Lin, based on the entourage, it had to be Xia Lin.
As for why everyone was fawning over Xia Lin, he still couldn't figure it out. He had asked Penguin Ma and others, but none of them told him the truth.
He didn't know if it was intentional or if they were afraid to say it, but it was right to follow suit without knowing the situation.
With so many big shots fawning over her, he had to do the same.
"Hello, Mr. Liu. You look much younger than you do on television." Xia Lin nodded at Liu Qiangxi with a smile.
"Chairman, you may not know, but when you just walked in, I thought a fairy had descended from heaven. I almost wanted to bow down and worship you."
Liu Qiangxi could blow his own horn without blushing.
Xia Lin had never heard such words before and smiled awkwardly.
"Alright, don't be a nuisance here. The meeting is about to start." Penguin Ma couldn't stand it. Wasn't this embarrassing him?
Then he thought again, this group of people were all targeting him. He couldn't just drive Liu Qiangxi away.
Penguin Ma immediately continued, "However, what you said is also true."
Xia Lin: ...
Seeing that the boss supported him, Liu Qiangxi gave him a small glance.
Li Chaoren, the second-generation representatives of the Morgan family, and the DuPont family, who were originally in the company's reception room, all came out.
"Chairman."
All three greeted Xia Lin.
"Hello." Xia Lin smiled and nodded.
Anyone of these people could be a top boss, but at this moment, they all looked like newly hired junior employees.
"Alright, let's all enter the conference room for the meeting," Old Wang called out.
Then everyone entered the conference room. Old Wang was responsible for presiding over the meeting and all matters, while Xia Lin just sat there and nodded.
She didn't understand these things, and moreover, all these big shots were formidable people. Xia Lin would not add to their glory.
"The theme of our meeting today is how to make a good science fiction film. Let's not talk about other things first. Today, the Chairman personally attends the meeting. Let's welcome the Chairman with a warm round of applause."
Old Wang stopped halfway through his speech, and the sudden change caught everyone off guard.
*Clap clap clap...*
After they reacted, everyone applauded in unison.
Xia Lin stood up, nodded at everyone, and said, "Thank you, everyone. I don't understand the company's affairs. I will need to learn a lot from all of you in the future, and I thank you all for your support and contributions to the company."
After Xia Lin finished, there was another round of warm applause.
Then Old Wang began his performance on how to make a good science fiction film.
The world knows that to make a good science fiction film, special effects must be done well.
Special effects are one aspect, but the plot and the audience's anticipation are also important.
Old Wang had a film company, so he had some insights while explaining.
The meeting lasted for two hours. Old Wang's throat was almost on fire before it concluded.
The meeting set three goals:
First, quickly determine the cast and director list. Both domestic and international big stars and directors are needed, and the actors must be talented. Those who can only count to 123456 are not wanted.
Second, finalize the filming locations and ensure that the various crew members join quickly.
Third, the film is scheduled to be released globally on the first day of Chinese New Year in 2022.
There are still more than three months until Chinese New Year. Sci-fi films like this take one to two years to shoot, and special effects take a year to produce.
But that was for others. Now Fenglin Entertainment was making a film, and everything would be done with the fastest speed to achieve the best special effects.
They have money if they need money, and people if they need people. As for approvals, they are just a formality, taking half a day.
Unlike other film companies, where submitting a script for review could take months to get a response.
Since Fenglin Entertainment aims to be great, it must take the first step well. Whether the film is good or not is another matter, but at least it can become the fastest completed and successfully released sci-fi blockbuster in history.
After the meeting, Old Wang and others stayed to discuss matters further.
They planned to invite two major Hollywood directors, James Cameron and Jon Favreau.
James Cameron's representative works include "Titanic" and "Avatar," among others.
Jon Favreau's representative works include "Iron Man" and "Spider-Man," among others.
"Can you invite these two great Hollywood directors?" Old Wang asked the people from the Morgan and DuPont families.
This film will have a strong cast and needs to be completed quickly, with the world's top filmmakers working together.
They planned to use five directors to shoot it together. Old Wang could handle the three domestic directors himself, but the two Hollywood ones were problematic.
"Mr. Wang, Cameron can be handled, but Jon Favreau might be a bit troublesome," said a person from the Morgan family.
"What's wrong?" Old Wang asked curiously.
"Aren't your two families among the four major families in the world?"
"How can you not even handle one director?"
"Jon Favreau is from the Kennedy family," added a person from the DuPont family.
They are indeed one of the four major families in the world, and their families have a long history. However, there are four major families in the United States that are extremely powerful, and they dare not offend them in the United States.
The four major families in the United States have all produced fools, and often several at a time.
Old Wang glanced at the two of them with disdain and instructed:
"Just do it. Work with Young Master Xia. I don't care about any four major families. Report to me if you encounter any difficulties."
