"Forget it, I don't expect you to make any money anymore, just leave some money for drinks for me." Little Robert said nonchalantly, hitting his best friend as always.

Although Robert Jr. was joking, Zhou Shaoming was also very touched, because he could see from Robert Jr.'s eyes that even if he really lost all his money, Robert Jr. would definitely not care as he said.

Avril said with a sweet smile: "Okay, ok, by then, you won't owe me 3 million US dollars, but 30 million US dollars, 300 million US dollars, haha, a lot of money."

Zhou Shaoming's head was full of black threads. She hadn't even started making money yet. This little girl had already thought so far. She thought she was a money printing machine? Three hundred million US dollars, even though every movie of the father of the chainsaw

They're all big sales, but that's hard-earned money, right?

But if I really earn money, I want to share it with Avril Lavigne and everyone else, and Zhou Shaoming is also very happy.

Just when Avril's eyes were shining brightly and she was imagining how much money she could make Zhou Shaoming owe her, the attentive Tobin asked a question: "Speaking of which, Zhou, do you have any ideas about the establishment of the company?

Opening a company is not a simple matter, you have to think carefully."

Indeed, Zhou Shaoming still didn't understand much about the establishment of a company, but he understood that not only would the procedures for re-establishing a company at this time be cumbersome, but it would also be difficult to recruit personnel to get the new company up and running within a short period of time.

Therefore, he decided to acquire a film company first, and then regarding the subsequent arrangements, Zhou Shaoming was sure of one thing: professional people do professional things. Although he did not know the operation of the film company very well, as long as he was willing to pay, there would be a lot of professional managers.

Can help him do it well.

Now, the most important thing is to find this person!

Zhou Shaoming was full of confidence, smiled, and then said to everyone: "I thought about it more thoroughly last night. I think our current situation is more suitable for acquiring a small company. Then we changed our name, and then added the last

If I replace all the most important positions and positions, and then hire a professional manager to help me run the company, I should be able to get it up and running in a short period of time."

Although the idea of ​​opening a film company came about due to the lack of cooperation from the boss of Lionsgate, and although he had to shoulder different boss responsibilities from that of a director, Zhou Shaoming's real interest was in making movies. This time, he was aroused by Frank.

That’s why I want to set up my own company. After all, I am more suitable for making movies. As for the management of the company, I should leave it to professionals.

"Well, in this case, we all know the owners of many small film companies, and competition is fierce now. Some small film companies whose business is bleak are interested in selling, and we can contact them." Tobin listened to Zhou Shaoming's idea.

After that, he nodded and continued following his train of thought.

Nodding in agreement with Tobin's opinion, Zhou Shaoming said: "The most important position in a film company is the CEO. For that position, I think it would be better to find Jon. After all, he has always been in the film industry, and I feel that he

He has good abilities. I just don’t know if he is willing to come over and help me. After all, I am a brand new person, and Frank is very fond of him."

"Well, indeed, Jon is indeed more familiar with these businesses outside of film shooting than all of us here. Zhou, you can try to recruit Jon into your company, or try to hire him first.

Can you give me a phone call?" When Robert heard Zhou Shaoming mention Jon's name, he was the first to jump out and express his approval. He was eager to call Jon.

Jon has worked with me several times, and he knows the other person's abilities very well. The two have been working together since "Saw", and they have worked together seamlessly for the entire four movies, and each one has been a hit. In addition to their own movies, people really like them.

, Jon's help is also indispensable. Besides, he is also a very good friend of mine. It is much more reassuring to get his help than to find someone who doesn't know the details very well.

However, Zhou Shaoming doesn't intend to force it, everything depends on Jon's own wishes.

"I only want to fly in a blue sky, wouldn't it be crazy? Aren't I crazy in a blue sky only if I want to fly..." Just when Zhou Shaoming was thinking this, the familiar ringtone came to mind.

Zhou Shaoming took out his cell phone and looked at it, and couldn't help but smile at the people around him. Seeing his expression, Little Robert quickly stretched his head to take a look, grinned and said with a big smile: "Dear Zhou, you really deserve it."

I heard that old Chinese saying, say Cao Cao, and Liu Bei will come."

Zhou Shaoming was dumbfounded by these words. He turned on his cell phone and said to Robert Jr.: "It's about Cao Cao. Cao Cao is here, not Liu Bei."

The call was naturally from Jon. Zhou Shaoming cleared his throat and answered the call.

"Hello, is this Smith Zhou?" Jon's unique voice came from the other end of the phone, but this time it was a little deeper.

"Well, yes, it's me. What's wrong, Jon? What's wrong with you?" Zhou Shaoming asked doubtfully.

"I saw today's newspaper, alas." Jon on the other end of the phone sighed slightly, and then continued: "As a friend, I'm sorry for you."

Zhou Shaoming couldn't help but smile after hearing this. He thought it was something. It turned out that he came to apologize to him. After hearing Jon's apologetic words, Zhou Shaoming shook his head and said, "This is between me and Frank.

It's because he doesn't think favorably of me. It has nothing to do with you, so you don't have to blame yourself."

"That's what I said, but Smith Zhou, you are my friend, but I didn't help in any way. I hope you don't blame me..." Jon's voice sounded with some emotion on the other end of the phone.

Zhou Shaoming just smiled and waited calmly for Jon to calm down: "No matter what, we are all friends, friends who have worked hard together for our dreams."

Jon nodded in agreement and continued to ask: "Smith Zhou, what are your plans next? Do you plan to put your movie on hold temporarily or continue to look for other companies to cooperate with?"

"Movies are my dream, and I will not put my dream on hold. I said that as long as I feel it, I will bring it to the whole world! And this time Frank's incident has awakened me.

Well, if I keep relying on other people, I will eventually encounter the same thing sooner or later, and someone will interfere with my film, which I cannot tolerate."

After a pause, Zhou Shaoming said word by word: "So, I am going to start my own company!"

Just when Zhou Shaoming finished speaking, Jon across from him took a deep breath and fell into silence, as if thinking about something.

After a long time like this, Jon's voice came, as if he had made up his mind, and Jon's voice began to tremble: "Smith Zhou, to be honest, I have never encountered

I have never had a person like you who risked everything for his dream. I also watched you go from a young rookie director to an Oscar-winning director. I have always seen your struggle and hard work, and your actions inspired me.

Let me also start to dream about my future! In fact, ever since I entered the film industry, I have dreamed that I can turn a film company into a film company that people look up to like Columbia, Universal, and Warner Brothers."

After a pause, Jon took a deep breath and continued: "But the longer I stay in this industry, the more I understand how difficult this dream is. I once thought that it would be impossible for me to realize that nothingness in my life.

It’s a vague dream, but, my God! I still clearly remember that afternoon in 1999, when you came to me with your movie, and when you told me with confidence that you would be a sensation in the United States.

At that time, did you know? There is really a light in you, that kind of light that I can't look directly at. I see in you the fighting spirit and strength that I have lost."

"It was in that year that the results achieved by saw allowed me to regain the courage I had lost. Oh, God, do you understand what I am saying?" After saying this, Jon's voice seemed a little hoarse.

, I don’t know whether it’s because I’m sad or because I’m too excited.

"Thank you, Jon, I understand, I understand what you mean." Zhou Shaoming recalled the time when he was down and out, and was filled with emotion.

"I just want to confirm again, are you planning to start your own company, just like you asked me when you interviewed Statham, are you sure?" Jon said breathlessly, as if an angry bull saw a red cloth.

, so excited and uncontrollable.

Zhou Shaoming smiled slightly and said firmly and without hesitation: "Just in the past minute, I received shares from Robert Jr., Jeremy, Tobin, Isabella and Avril, a company that I have not yet appeared in.

I already have US$400 million in start-up capital, and now I only need one person to help me make a sensation in the United States like I did with Saw, and build a film company that everyone can look up to!"

"Okay, wait a moment." Jon quickly understood what Zhou Shaoming meant, but put the phone aside.

When Zhou Shaoming was still wondering, Jon's loud roar came from the other side of the phone: "Vivian! Vivian!"

Then there was a rush of footsteps on the phone, and it seemed that Vivian had walked in. Then Zhou Shaoming only heard Vivian's voice: "Mr. Jon, do you need my help with anything?"

Just when Zhou Shaoming was wondering what Jon was going to do, he only heard Jon's voice saying: "Tell Frank later that I'm quitting and ask him to find someone else to be the manager. I'll do it right away."

Type your resignation letter!”

Just after saying this, Jon's voice reappeared in Zhou Shaoming's ears, and he gasped and said excitedly: "Dear Zhou, I think you must be lacking a CEO now. Look, I
Chapter completed!
