Reborn Hollywood Ladies

Chapter 460 Because I am also a Genius
"CAA is my hard work and my pinnacle. I can see it being built, and I can also build AMG!" Ovitz shouted to Leila with a firm face.It's just that he himself knows better that such firmness even doubts himself, let alone other people.

Lila smiled faintly: "I don't deny the possibility, but unfortunately you are out of time. How much time did you spend on CAA, and how many partners did you team up with? Do you think you still have so much time to do whatever you want?" Are you squandering?"

From establishing CAA in 1975 to becoming the president of Disney in 1995, he spent the 20 years in between building CAA.At that time he was still young, he had a lot of energy to devote to work.But now?He is already old, even if he refuses to accept his old age, it is still impossible for him to be as self-willed as before due to physical reasons.

It is impossible for him to have enough energy to spend another 20 years creating a new miracle.And the situation is different. What kind of opponent did CAA face when it rose?Now AMG is facing CAA, which can defeat other brokerage companies.

It can be said that Ovitz was defeated by his own hands. Who told him to formulate the original company system too well?
Give me money and I can do anything for you.From the script to the director, from the actors to the crew, they can arrange everything for you.

To put it simply, you just say what you want, for example, you want to make a movie about aliens taking over the earth.Well, there you have it, the script is delivered to you on short notice, and it's written by a pretty big name writer.

Then the director invites you, the actors help you hire, and the crew helps you build.You need low-grade movies, okay, you got it.If it can be built with 10 yuan, you will not spend 12 yuan.

You want premium movies, no problem, you'll get them.The top director stars in the whole company are at your disposal.It doesn't matter if you don't have one, they will help you connect and send the person you want most to the crew.

As for other companies?Hehe, let them go hungry, as long as they are full.

Even if he didn't want to admit it, Ovitz knew that Laila was right, and that he really couldn't do what he wanted.The times are advancing too fast, and he has been left far behind by the times just by being out of touch for a little while.

"So you decided to buy it after Roy came to me, didn't you?"

This question made him very frustrated, but if he didn't know the answer, he would feel that he would struggle with the answer for a long time.

Laila thought about it, and finally decided to tell him the truth: "To be exact, it was much earlier."

"Earlier?"

"That's right, when I first found out you started AMG."

Laila's answer made Ovitz angry.No one can keep calm when they hear that they have been targeted since they started their business.

"Why? You were sure then that I would fail?"

Yes, his company is being acquired right now, but who's to say he failed?It only took him a few years to do what no one else could do in decades!Those top stars and directors who are still in the company, don't they join because they see his potential?

Lila shook her head, then nodded again: "Although it's not entirely true, you can say that." Before the other party got angry, she explained: "I believe that the reason you can't reach your original status is because you are a genius."

Ovitz didn't know how to describe his mood at the moment.Because he is a genius, that's why he made his career go bad and got bought?What kind of fucking logic is this?

Seeing the other party's eyeballs almost popping out, Leila quickly told him the answer with the noble quality of respecting the old and loving the young: "You are a genius, so you created the best CAA. No matter what you create next What, as long as you are still in that field, you can't surpass that genius yourself."

Ovitz hadn't expected to hear such an odd recognition from her.For a person who wants to buy himself, it is quite a sense of accomplishment to get such recognition.

But after knowing this, he had a new question: "As you said, CAA has already stood at the top and cannot be surpassed, so if you want to acquire AMG, do you only hope to barely maintain it in the middle and lower reaches?" ?”

He didn't believe it would become like that.This girl is astoundingly ambitious, and only those who look at her can see it.As a well-informed person in Hollywood, he knew that she secretly received the copyrights of many excellent works.But in the past few years, she has only submitted some works that are not painful or itchy, such as "The Grudge" and "Midnight Ring" in Japan.

However, it was such a small work with little reputation, she casually threw it out and handed it over to the director and temporary production crew that she had recruited under some cutting-edge plan. But without exception, they made double the money.

He really wanted to know, if other works in her hands were also cast, what kind of changes would it bring to Hollywood?Maybe it will change the pattern of the entire Hollywood film industry in one fell swoop!

Regarding his question, Laila still smiled slightly: "Because I am also a genius."

"..." Ovitz was silent for a moment, and then burst out laughing.

She is also a genius, so she thinks she can beat her former genius self.

Arrogant?No, she obviously really thought so.He finally knew why she became the director sought after by Hollywood. This confidence, this confidence based on talent, was enough to explain everything.

"Okay, I agree with your acquisition. I also look forward to the day when you beat me." After speaking, he seemed to have aged a few years suddenly, and even his straight back collapsed a bit.

Lila looked at him and said seriously: "I will. But before that, I want you to know something. What you do is not worthless. If AMG is not worth it, I can't spend so much money to buy it come over."

Ovitz chuckled twice: "I don't need you to comfort me yet. Maybe I'm really old, and this is already the age of your young people."

After speaking, he left.

And when he opened the door, he saw Roy standing outside the door, looking at him with complicated eyes.

He suddenly understood that maybe even he thought the company was acquired because of his relationship.

Ovitz stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder, then left without saying anything.He didn't want to explain something to the girl. If Roy felt guilty, he should be guilty. He couldn't let him lose all his career and watch them celebrate, right?
Therefore, those who watched him leave saw a meaningful smile on his face for some reason.
