Honorary director or board director.

This is the modern era when the ancient royal system and aristocratic system gradually disappeared and weakened, and when money and enterprises rose to become the most mainstream group forces in the European and American worlds.

This reputation.

Almost like a variety of ancient aristocratic titles.

Each of the successful people has the title of director of the board of directors of several large companies or famous companies.

For example, Buffett.

He has the title of board director of 136 companies, of which more than 20 are the title of board chairman. Then among these 136 titles, more than 50 are the Fortune 500 in the World.

Another example is Soros.

The title of director of the board of directors he serves is much less than that of Buffett. After all, compared with the stable investment power of Buffett, hedge funds like Quantum Fund will only make people feel afraid. There are always fewer people who are afraid than those who like it. Moreover, Quantum Fund has always been mainly engaged in various short-term investments.

Since it is a short-term investment, it is mostly without controlling rights, and it will not last long. It is natural and there is not much time or spirit to mess with the title of a board director.

But if Soros wants to.

There are still a large number of small and medium-sized companies willing to invite him to become a director, or even an honorary chairman, which is not impossible.

all in all.

Because China and East Asia have been more important in the concept of officialism for thousands of years, they do not pay much attention to this aspect.

And in Europe and America.

This system may have been a variant of the ancient European royal system and aristocratic system. With the support of the new century and new wealth aristocrats, that is, the new money in English, it has gradually become the mainstream honorary title in society.

In Europe and the United States.

Especially in terms of admission, work, and election, the name of some famous companies or board directors can often be a great helper.

For example, Mr. Bill Gates attended Harvard University.

In addition to his actual performance, the most important thing is that he has a mother who is one of the board members of the IBM board of directors.

At that time, IBM was at its peak. The power of the blue giant was definitely overwhelming when the high-tech computer technology first appeared. When Mr. Bill Gates was just beginning to go to college and start a business, IBM's status at that time was equivalent to Apple now, plus Google, Microsoft, and Facebook.

So it is conceivable.

Bill's mother, one of the directors of IBM's board of directors at that time, can be imagined.

It’s no problem to send your son to Harvard University or something.

It is precisely because of this complex in European and American society that Abel suddenly came up and threw out the honors of various boards that European and American people valued in the minds of European and American people, as one of the newborn Paramount's means to attract social attention. Once this method is implemented, nothing else will be said.

The advertising effect must be very good.

After all, in the eyes of ordinary people, no matter how awesome you are, Viacom or Paramount, you still cannot reach the attention of those big stars in their minds.

For those who grew up from the three views of European and American society, they use the title of board director of famous companies as bait to attract people.

It's really incredible.

It even makes people feel weird, and it feels like boiling a crane and burning a piano.

Just like a minister in ancient China, when he saw his Majesty suddenly became nervous and threw all kinds of noble titles such as princes, earls, marquises, etc. to those actors.

It is impossible not to jump up and spray.

But Abel's soul is a standard Chinese soul and does not have this complex. He does not value this aspect. Especially as his plug-in is becoming more mature, he does not value titles such as directors or board directors.

The most important thing is that he discovered.

After he used the position of executive director of the Viacom Board, he rewarded Elizabeth Olson.

The female stars who have something to do with him have become more active and more proactive.

He noticed this change.

Only then did I understand how important such honorary titles are to people in Europe and the United States. Especially for those big-name stars who have always been glamorous but have not had a high social status, it is more attractive.

The big stars have enough social influence. They have many fans and shine brightly on the stage and movies. Every time they go out, they can attract fans and paparazzi to chase.

They generally don’t lack money. If you make a movie, the less reward can get hundreds of thousands, and the more can even reach hundreds of millions of dollars.

What they lack.

Nowadays, those upper-class societies have a high-ranking identity in the eyes of mainstream social groups.

Such titles can complement this point by the board of directors of major famous companies.

This bait thrown by Abel.

It is definitely sweet enough for Hollywood practitioners.

For the title of CBS' board director he is throwing out now.

It made everyone around him lit up.

CBS is the English abbreviation of CBS.

CBS was founded in February 1927, one of the three largest commercial broadcasting and television companies in the United States, and its funding comes from advertising and broadcasting revenue.

Another century-old enterprise.

to be honest.

CBS's identity as a board director is even more attractive to these big Hollywood stars than Viacom's identity as a board director.

Compared with Viacom Group.

CBS is even more influential and one of the top major TV stations in the world.

Now Abel throws this bait.

Gal Gadot was really moved for a moment.

If you become a director of the CBS board of directors, you can become the executive director of CBS like Elizabeth Olson.

It cannot be said that you can walk sideways in Hollywood immediately. However, the various neglectedness and humiliation at the bottom of the food chain will definitely disappear immediately.

This is a director of the board of directors of CBS!

Who are the board directors of CBS?

Redstone, Buffett, Bill Gates, etc.

Although the holding ratio of others except Leishudong is very low, they will not participate in the company's operations most of the time, and they look more like honorary directors.

But... if you can parasitize with these people, how attractive it is to these Hollywood stars around you!

This is so attractive that Robert Downey Jr., who was in front of him, didn't even care that Abel was actually asking about Gal Gadot, and he had already recommended himself.

"Dear Mr. Sefrosa. I think I can help you with this! If Oasis Investment is willing to hire me to be a board director of CBS, I am willing to shoot at least five movies for Paramount! And it is easy to discuss the pay, how about $20 million per movie?!"

Robert Downey Jr.'s conditions are already very good. As a few super first-tier stars in Hollywood now, Downey's pay is amazingly high.

A media once made a table of the performance time and pay ratio of actors in "Avengers 3" ~ to the exact amount of money per second. Downey only appeared for 18 minutes and then scraped away a $50 million in pay, with a pay of up to $46,296 per second.

Second place is Scarlett Johnson.

She appeared for five minutes and took away a $10 million reward, with her income per second of $33,333.

The third place is the actor who plays Captain America.

The last one was the model worker who played the longest-time role - Thanos.

He played for as much as 29 minutes, but his salary was only 2 million US dollars, and his profit rate was 1,136 US dollars per second.

Long time ago, Downey was an addict.

I beg my grandfather to sue my grandmother, but no one asked him to film. But as time goes by, his pay has also risen. The pay for "Iron Man" is only 500,000 US dollars; "Iron Man 2" is 10 million; "Iron Man 3" is 50 million US dollars. It is said that I can't think about the pay for "Iron Man 4", so there is no following.

This can be seen from this.

The conditions proposed by Downey are actually very generous. He is willing to shoot at least five movies for Paramount, with each movie being paid only 20 million US dollars.

He really exchanged money for honor.

Normally, if he had the appearance price of the starring actor, he would not be able to invite him without 400 million US dollars.

Now it costs about 100 million US dollars, this kind of thing can be done...

Sounds very good.

It sounds like Robert Downey Jr. is generous and willing to pay hundreds of millions of dollars for an honorary title.

Actually, this cannot be said.

Because in addition to simple pay, the time cost must also be considered. Donny is over 50 years old this year and is no longer young. If he really shoots five movies for Paramount, if all of them are big productions, the shooting speed of filming in Europe and the United States will take at least seven years.

In seven years, there are too many things that can change.

Maybe if one or two movies are filmed in the middle, his pay will plummet. And as he gets older, his pay will also drop accordingly.

Seriously.

Although Donnie is now the highest paid actor among the world's actors, it is unknown whether he can maintain such a high box office appeal after withdrawing from the Marvel series in the future.

in other words.
