158. Standing still or changing?

Across the ocean, there is a fierce discussion in the conference room of Miramax, an important Disney film and television company.

"Oh, NO, I think this proposal is meaningless to discuss. The local box office has proved that it is not suitable for us. We should no longer waste our energy on this business that is doomed to lose money." A bald middle-aged American white man waved his arms excitedly with his big belly, trying to convince his opponents and the rest of his colleagues who remained neutral.

However, his statement obviously did not work very well, and everyone's eyes were still confused.

"Don't you know the tradition of the company? Since its inception, our company has represented ** and independence. The films produced by our company are also famous for their artistic and logical nature. But what artistic connotation does that film have? It will ruin the reputation of our company!" The fat man continued to speak loudly unwillingly, even raising this matter to the issue of company reputation.

There were many people present, all senior executives of the company. The fat man's last words made them struggle. Should they slowly die in conservatism or seek another breakthrough? Thinking of this, many people couldn't help but look at the person who strongly advocated the introduction of the video.

The fat man's opponent looked calm at this time, and obviously he had no intention of agreeing with the fat man's words.

As everyone's eyes focused, just opposite the fat man just now, a meticulous man wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses and combed brown hair slowly spoke out why he insisted on introducing that work.

"I think the main reason for the failure of this movie at the local box office is not the film itself, but a cultural conflict. That's why I proposed to acquire the other party's film's reproduction rights, use our country's own actors to cooperate with this wonderful story, and then replace music that does not conform to our country's culture, and replace it with what children like now. Then this movie will definitely succeed. You must know that in that ancient country, the box office of this movie has achieved nearly 200 million Chinese coins, and its investment is less than 15 million yuan. In Europe and the United States, where our market is more mature, the box office will definitely make greater progress!"

The man's analysis was much more detailed than the fat man said. His predictions were reasonable and well-founded. Many people sitting there were nods involuntarily and nodded slightly to express their agreement. Obviously, the man's words had touched their hearts.

Seeing everyone's reaction, the middle-aged man was confident and his voice was raised, and he continued to express his views.

"And I think what attracts me the most about this film is its group-oriented group. You should know what the largest consumer group at Disney at our headquarters is the children's teenagers!!! And this song and dance film is also teenagers. I think that just this is enough to get us to take it down, and our company urgently needs a high-box office work to prove the meaning of our existence to the headquarters."

"It seems to make some sense."

"It's true. With the company's consumer groups as guarantees, this video may really be youthful in our hands."

“Well, the company’s position at headquarters has indeed declined recently, and it is indeed necessary for us to make some changes.”

The crowd made a soft discussion, and at this moment the victory began to turn toward Lyon.

However, Lyon was not satisfied. At this moment, he took out his killer weapon that he had prepared long ago.

"The company's tradition is indeed to publish and produce some niche movies with higher artistic or unpopularity, but this does not mean that we cannot turn to the mass market. Now the times are changing, and we must change them too, so that we can meet the pace of the times and prevent us from being abandoned or eliminated!"

Lyon's words made many young executives present lit up their eyes. They were very unwilling to continue to corruption in this corrupt company. They hoped to change and work in the direction they wanted to see. Lyon's words undoubtedly gave them a bright hope, so they were the first to shake the words of Lyon and began to move closer to the middle-aged man.

"Ah-Lyon's experience is right, we must prove ourselves to the headquarters."

"I also think we must make breakthroughs. We cannot always hold on to the things we had before. In that way, we will only become a page in the pile of old papers and eventually be thrown into the garbage incineration plant."

"Yes, this time I agree with Lyon's idea, this video should be introduced!"

Seeing that most of the young executives had already stood on Lyon's side with a clear position, and those who were still hesitating also had a temptation in their eyes, the middle-aged fat man sitting in the position suddenly became anxious.

"Anyway, I would not agree to you put your company's property into this 'children's film' so much, I will object to it to the end!" The middle-aged fat man roared angrily, still disagreed.

He is an old man in the company and he feels that his anger should be adapted to the views of those present.

But obviously Lyon didn't care about his thoughts, so he ignored the fierce words of the middle-aged fat man, but said directly to the top-notch old man with gray hair: "Mr. George, can you raise your hands to vote?"

"Well...? You've finished the discussion." The old man with gray hair seemed to have just woken up, half-opened his eyes and asked.

"Mr. George, I think no one can convince the other party about my views. I want to use a democratic approach and vote to decide whose plan is better." Lyon seemed to have not seen the attitude of the old man named George at this time and continued.

"Oh... OK, raise your hand to vote. If you agree with Lyon, please raise your hand." The old man pondered for a long time before sighing slowly and proclaiming.

As soon as he said that, the executives who had just supported Lyon immediately raised their hands, and some of the neutral centers who moved slowly raised their hands after hesitating for a while. Seeing more than half of their arms raised, the middle-aged fat man's face turned pale.

"Mr. George, thank you for your support." Lyon saw that the result was confirmed, smiled slightly, and at the same time, he bowed to George, who was sitting on the top, thanked him very gentlemanly.

With the smile of the winner, Lyon stepped out of the conference room, and left with him a group of supporters just now, because in the confrontation just now, they had already chosen the pioneering team, and Lyon, who was at the forefront, was about to become the spiritual leader of their group.

The originally full conference room was empty all at once, and the middle-aged bald fat man sat on the chair with sweat all over. The remaining people were not very good-looking, but their eyes were all focused on the old man George sitting first.

"Grandpa George, why?" the fat man gritted his teeth and pressed the anger in his heart.

He didn't understand why the old man had to support Lyon's vote just now, because that decision was obviously the last deadly straw that overwhelmed their side.

After hearing the fat man's words, the others nodded in confusion. You should know that this old man named George was the most maintaining the company's tradition before.

Looking at the lonely colleagues, George sighed and said helplessly in a hoarse voice: "The world's general trend cannot be moved by human power."

"What does it mean?" Several senior executives present were confused by the old man's sudden Chinese speech, and they didn't understand what the old man was talking about. Fortunately, the old man seemed to know it, and he quickly explained it.

"This is an old saying, meaning that the development of the entire situation has become a climate and is no longer something that manpower can change. This is just like the current situation of our company. You also know that the company's development has reached a critical moment of survival, and the rise of the reformists is inevitable. Harrison, your approach is not wise. Simply blocking will only cause you to lose your voice in the company, and it will not have any effect."

"Oh, God, then what should I do!" asked the middle-aged bald fat man, Harrison, sadly grasped the only strands of hair on his head, and with a hint of crazy mood.

"What we need to do is not to organize the reformists' pace, but to follow them and strive for the interests of us traditionalists. Think about it, as long as the reformists succeed, our company will naturally benefit. As conservatives, we can naturally use the interests created by the reformists to prove our own ideas, right?" Old George slowly spoke his thoughts, his words were full of peace, but a gleam that flashed from time to time proved that this "old fox" was far from that simple.

This is true. This passage made the originally gloomy faces of the people who were doing it, and Harrison did not grab his pitiful hair any more.

As George said, isn’t this a good way to strengthen yourself with the benefits of your opponent’s creation?

At the same time, Lyon, who had returned to his office, called overseas immediately and asked them to immediately start a negotiation plan that had been put on hold for a long time and continue to contact Tianxia Film and Television.

After hanging up the phone, Lyon sat in the office chair and closed his eyes to ponder. After nearly five minutes, he opened his eyes again and picked up the phone at hand.

"Alice, please book a flight ticket to Kyoto, China, and also book a reservation for me to "Singing and Dance Youth" director, that magical Ye. I hope he can spare a while and I want to have a good interview with him."

………

At this time, Ye Sumang didn't know that there was a film company quarreling over his work on the other side of the ocean. At this time, he was preparing for the first performance of his play in the Dongfeng Hotel. (To be continued. Please search for Astronomy, the novel is better, updated and faster!)
