Chapter 162: My Goal
The banquet ends.
Rosemary, who accompanied Chen Geng out, couldn't help it, and boldly asked Chen Geng, "Boss, are you...... Can it really be the magic of the East?"
Before this, Rosemary had heard the company say in private that Mr. Fernandez was a mysterious Oriental wizard, but she had always scoffed at these claims: whether the boss was an Oriental wizard with magical powers, couldn't I still tell?
But everything that happened tonight had a huge impact on her cognition: what "yuan qi", what "life potential", no one had ever said before, but if you think about it carefully, it makes a lot of sense, could it be that Mr. Fernández really understands some mysterious oriental magic?
Now, she can't believe it.
Chen Geng didn't expect that his performance tonight would even scare Rosemary, and the idea of prank suddenly came out, and he asked with a smile: "Guess?"
Rosemary was speechless: "......"
I guess?
How do I guess?
"You said yes, then there is, you say no......" Chen Geng said with a smile: "That's no." ”
When I say yes, I say no, and when I say no, I don't have...... Rosemary, who was not accustomed to this kind of implicit expression of the cloudy and foggy East, was even more confused at this moment: was there or not?
She was just about to take two quick steps to ask again, when a rush of footsteps suddenly came: "Mr. Fernandez, please wait a minute......
I'm still wondering how long you'll be able to hold on.
Listening to Xiao Bu's hurried voice, Chen Geng must have been in his heart, but he turned his head and looked at Xiao Bu a little blankly: "Mr. Bruce?"
Xiaobu is very nervous!
The Mr. Fernández in front of him is the only one of the rich people he knows who is easier to talk and polite to people, but even if he is very polite and polite, it does not prevent him from being a respectable rich man......
But he couldn't take care of it so much at this time, Xiaobu said cautiously: "Mr. Fernandez, that's the case, you know I'm an actor......"
Speaking of this, he paused slightly, observing Chen Geng's reaction.
Chen Geng nodded noncommittally: "Well, you continue." ”
Seeing that Chen Geng showed no signs of anger or displeasure, Xiaobu breathed a sigh of relief, and then said carefully: "That's the case...... I mean, if you have the right opportunity, can you recommend me......"
"I probably understand what you mean," before Xiaobu finished speaking, Chen Geng shook his head with a smile: "You want me to give you a chance to appear in a movie, right?" But you may have found the wrong person, I am not familiar with the entertainment industry and Hollywood, and I don't have this level of relationship, so I may not be able to help you. ”
"No, no, no, Mr. Fernandez, I mean, if someone asks you for investment, and you think this script is good, can you recommend me to them?" Xiaobu hurriedly explained: "It doesn't need to be a very important role, just a character who can show his face and have a few lines." ”
Chen Geng didn't speak, but turned his head to look at Rosemary.
Knowing what her boss was going to ask, Rosemary shrugged: "There are some people who come to our company with scripts to attract investment, but I have all refused...... Those guys look like liars, and they don't know where to get a shit script that doesn't make sense, and they dare to ask us for hundreds of thousands of dollars in sponsorship, it's crazy to think about money. ”
Chen Geng nodded.
In the United States, it is very common for people in the entertainment industry and film and television circles to solicit sponsorship from the rich, and those big film and television companies and directors certainly do not worry about production costs, but just like any kind of mature architecture, it is actually hundreds of thousands of low-level actors and young directors who have just stepped out of school to reach the sky. Small screenwriters, and even some are simply liars, who can't get sponsorship from those large and small production companies, so they target the rich people outside the entertainment industry, and blow their scripts to the sky, in short, how good my script is, if you vote for my script, how much benefit this movie will bring you, and if you like beautiful, hot female stars, this is not a problem at all......
In short, some of these rich people went to female stars, and some of them were fooled and their heads were swollen, and they really invested money in it, but as a result, many scripts couldn't find a distribution channel at all, and the money was spent, but they couldn't get back a penny......
Although the rise of Fernandez is still short, and the second-hand car industry is not an industry with high visibility and exposure, it is still targeted, and some people in thirty and fifty carry a script to sell to Rosemary, but basically such guys are thrown out by Rosemary, in Rosemary's words: "Is it a fool to be a mother?"
"That's it," Chen Geng seemed to "think about it very seriously", and finally nodded: "If I see a script I like more in the future and plan to invest, I will recommend you to the director, how about it?"
Rosemary didn't think there was anything wrong with her boss's words, in her opinion, it was actually a euphemism for "you hurry up and fuck off!"
Xiaobu also thinks so, but he has encountered this kind of rejection I don't know how many times, and he is even a little used to being rejected, although he is very disappointed, but he still tries to put a smile on his face: "Okay, thank you......"
Chen Geng continued: "Of course, if you have a good script, you can also recommend it to me, and if the script is suitable, I think I will invest in it." ”
Xiaobu was stunned for a moment.
Rosemary was similarly stunned.
Compared with the previous polite refusal, Mr. Fernandez's sentence is much more sincere.
Rosemary subconsciously glanced at Xiao Bu, and then turned her head to look at her boss: What is there about this kid that deserves so much attention from the boss?
"But if it's ugly, I'm going to give you a chance, but I hope you don't waste this opportunity," looking at Xiaobu, Chen Geng raised three fingers: "Three times! I'll give you three chances! But if you get the script three times in a row, it's that kind of rubbish ......"
As soon as Chen Geng's voice fell, Xiaobu nodded excitedly: "Sir, please rest assured, I will definitely cherish this opportunity you gave me, and I will definitely ......"
"Okay, this is my contact information, if you have a suitable script or investment opportunity, you can call me," interrupting Xiaobu's words, Chen Geng handed him a business card: "I have given you the opportunity, whether you can grasp it or not, it depends on you." ”
........................
"Boss, can I ask you a question?" Rosemary couldn't help but ask, getting into the car.
"Do you want to ask me why I'm willing to give that waiter three chances when I haven't lived with him?"
"Yes," Rosemary nodded, "I just don't understand, and the company doesn't seem to have any plans to invest in the film industry." ”
"Anyway, it's actually an idea that just came to me......"
"Hmm......" Rosemary nodded, indicating that I was listening.
"The social status of Chinese people in the United States is not high, you know this," Chen Geng said slowly, "I hope to be able to do something to improve the social status of Chinese people in the United States." In the capitalist world, if you want to do something, you can't do it when you don't have money, but sometimes you can't do it just because you have money......"
Rosemary immediately realized: "So you plan to test the waters of the entertainment industry, and you are ready to take the opportunity of investing in movies to see if you can make some breakthroughs in this area?"
He feels that he understands the boss's thoughts a little, if he can open up the situation from the entertainment industry and become a celebrity with a certain social reputation in the United States, the boss can run for city councilors, state legislators, and even run for congressmen and even governors, and even promote some legislation and reforms that are beneficial to the Chinese......
Thinking of this, Rosemary was a little shocked: when she was still thinking about making more money, did the boss already think so far?
At the same time, she was a little hot: With such a boss, her life will be magnificent and wonderful in the future, right?
"Well," Chen Geng responded: "Anyway, it's just reading three scripts, and it won't waste me long, right?"
Rosemary nodded slightly, it was true that it would not take long to read three scripts, but she was still a little curious: "Why are you willing to give an unknown waitress three chances?
Chen Gengxin said, Can I tell you that Xiaobu will rely on the "Die Hard" series of movies in the future to become the representative of the tough guy in Hollywood second only to Stallone and Schwarzenegger, and the "John McLean" he created is also a classic screen image second only to Terminator and Rambo? Since you can't say it, you can only talk nonsense......
"Eye-edge," Chen Geng said, "Seeing this guy, I think this guy is more in line with my eye." ”
Just because it fits your eye, you are willing to give him three chances?
Feeling speechless, Rosemary didn't think much about it, this situation has gone on, and she even envied the kid named Bruce: although this kid is still just a small waiter, but with these three opportunities, the chance of success for this kid is much higher than before.
