Chapter 0661 - An Order from the Führer

Frank.

Suits and leather shoes, delicate ties, meticulously cared for from top to bottom, not even a trace of wrinkles can be seen.

He was carrying a briefcase in his hand, and what attracted people's attention was that there was an obvious and eye-catching sign on the lock of the bag, the swastika.

"Mr. Charlie Lee, I didn't expect to have the privilege of meeting you in person, but it was more conducive to our next conversation. A smile tugged at the corners of Frank's mouth.

That smile was like a wax figure in a wax man's house, ugly, hypocritical, stiff, and exuding a disgusting aura.

"Mr. Frank, tell me about your purpose in coming from far away Germany to Hollywood... Do you want to buy any films?" asked Li Zitao, moving his buttocks and leaning back in his chair.

At this moment, the black woman who was cleaning came over, and when she saw the situation in the office, she said a little nervously, "Sir, maybe I should come back later." ”

"No, no, no, go on... Do what you have to do. Li Zitao waved his hand very casually.

"Well, there's nothing to hide, I brought the Führer's order. Frank picked up the briefcase at his feet and placed it on the table, reaching for the lock on it.

"Wait, let me think... Are you saying that your Führer brought orders to Hollywood, am I wrong?" Li Zitao didn't know whether to be angry or laugh, or if he was about to be laughed at.

Frank's hand stopped moving, looked at him with indifferent eyes, and did not act again until tens of seconds later: "Yes, please maintain the respect you deserve for the Führer. ”

"I've always looked up to him... He's a great man, though he doesn't look that much like it on the outside. Li Zitao said with hidden sarcasm.

"Mr. Charlie, I need to remind you... If you refuse to carry out the Führer's orders, all the films you shoot will be refused by Germany. ”

Frank's words were resolute, leaving no room for manoeuvre.

As he said, this was an order from the Führer, not a consultation, and this time he wanted to inform DreamWorks alone.

The eight major studios are all in his target range, as well as those studios that have operations in Germany, either get out of the German market or do what they are told.

"Well, let me see... Your Excellency, Great Führer, what do you want from Hollywood?" Li Zitao took the order from him with a smile. ’

It is forbidden to map 'swastikas,' to point fingers at the political situation in Germany, and not to have any complexes or lines insulting the 'Führer' in the film.

And finally, the dismissal of all Jewish employees in their Berlin office.

"Dismissal?" Li Zitao put the 'order' in his hand on the table with an exaggerated expression, and said with a playful smile: "Mr. Frank, I think it's just a funny joke." ”

"No, it's not a joke, it's an order. Frank said with a cold expression.

"In that case, our Berlin office will be turned into a haunted house. "Li Zitao knew that the little man was 'hunting' the Jews, but he never thought that he would be involved.

"Then recruit again, Berlin has people. That's Frank's answer.

"Well, I'm going to talk to my presidents, and since you've heard of me, you should know that I don't pay attention to such small things. ”

Li Zitao did not directly refuse, because he did not know how much influence the German market had on Hollywood.

But to have the dwarf personally send someone to threaten him is enough to prove its importance.

"I stayed at the Roosevelt Hotel. Frank turned away, as vigorously as he had come.

And when he left, he happened to meet Adolf who had arrived.

"Boss, who is that?" Adolf walked into the office, not curious about the maid who was cleaning, but curious about the man who had just left.

He had the temperament of a soldier on his body, and a grim face that he had never seen before.

There are no secrets in Hollywood, and the news of Li Zitao's tantrum in the office in the early morning spread all over the major film studios in less than 2 hours.

At the same time, it also lets people know how disgusted and intolerant he is for 'sprays', abbreviation: zero tolerance!

"Someone from Germany, the great Führer brought orders to Hollywood. Li Zitao pointed to the paper on the table and sneered.

"Let me see. Adolf picked up the so-called order, and couldn't help frowning after just reading two lines, and waited until he saw that his whole face had completely turned into an iceberg.

"When did Hollywood need to listen to the Germans?"

"Now... Perhaps!" Li Zitao straightened up and said, "Adolf, I need you to tell me, is the German market important to us?"

"It's the largest market outside of North America, the second market, and Berlin has been the cultural center of Europe for hundreds of years. Adolf already knew the weight of the order.

Thousands of films are exported from Hollywood every year, and losing the German market would be a disaster for Hollywood as a whole.

"What are you going to do, Adolf, now you're the president!" Li Zitao handed the question to him.

To be honest, he doesn't care about DreamWorks' negligible 'profits,' and although it looks brilliant to outsiders, it doesn't matter to Li Zitao.

A few million dollars is not enough for her to buy a yacht or a mansion.

But there are thousands of people who depend on it, they need to feed their families, they need to work, they need to work non-stop, they need to work, they need to work, they need to work, they need to work,

"I intend to take his command, though I would rather crumple it up and stuff it into the mouth of the man who brought it. Adolf crumpled the paper.

His expression was very angry, but with helplessness and compromise, angry that he could not make money.

"Okay, just do as you say, hopefully we won't need to re-edit too many clips. Li Zitao agreed with his opinion.

As everyone says, no one is going to have trouble with money, because that means he's the enemy of the whole world.

"Charlie, I've seen your big ship plan, and I have to say that it's too risky, and we're likely to lose all our money. ”

For every successful person, when a matter is decided, there will be no more hesitation for it and waste time on unnecessary places.

So Adolf turned the conversation directly to the 'Big Ship' project, and in his professional and vision, the risk of this film was too high.

The upfront investment alone is as high as 15 million US dollars, which is enough to shoot 15~20 Hollywood productions.

The best equipment, the best directors, actors, producers and logistics.

Whatever they wanted, the money would have been enough to pay for it, but now it's just a third or a fifth of a film, or even more.
