I had cholecystitis that hurt me all night again yesterday. I am bleeding today. I will go for a B-ultrasound on Monday. I don’t know if I need an operation!

————

In the world-famous Imperial Building in Hollywood, although it has passed the end of the day, there are still many offices with lights on and they have not yet got off work.

Among them, the atmosphere in one office seemed extremely depressing.

Several people stood up straight, sat there cautiously, and carefully dealt with Mr. Harrison Hopkins, the president of the company opposite.

"Tell me your opinions? Wucuo Novel Network has a lot of words." Harrison raised his eyelids slightly and said calmly.

However, the few people sitting opposite him, although they were all executives of Dimei, did not dare to say a word at this time, as if they were afraid that every word they said would be wrong.

Seeing such a situation, Harrison couldn't help but feel troubled, but he didn't say anything. He knew very well that everything happening now was caused by him deliberately. After more than ten years of management, he had the right and authority to speak out in Dimei.

It is normal for people below to be afraid of themselves.

However, now he really needs someone to advise him.

"Cole, tell me your opinion. This matter was originally handled by you!" Harrison waited a little impatiently and directly called Cole's name, "Are you sure you hired me from that subsidiary of Oriental DreamWorks?

Didn’t you sign any separation agreement?" Wucuo Novel Network did not skip the words.

Cole's heart trembled when he heard Harrison's question, but he soon returned to normal, and immediately nodded with certainty and said: "Mr. President, I dare to swear by my sacred faith that the two I brought back from China

Personally, I have absolutely not signed any confidentiality agreement or separation agreement."

"This is weird!" Harrison muttered, frowned, and tapped his fingers on the desk. He now couldn't figure out what Oriental DreamWorks was doing.

If the person who was poached signed a contract not to reveal company secrets and not to work in the same industry within a restricted period after leaving the company, then Oriental DreamWorks is now suing Di Mei Pictures, and there is still a possibility of winning the case.

But now Oriental DreamWorks not only sued Di Mei Pictures without any certainty of winning the case, but also brought the lawsuit to his home base. The other party's approach left him a little confused.

Even if the other party's actions may be due to the young Chinese man's youthfulness and arrogance, with the character of that old fox like Barber, he would definitely not make such a stupid decision.

Otherwise, the opponent will definitely be sure of victory.

But now Harrison can't guess what trump card the other party holds, which gives them such strong confidence that they dare to collide with Di Mei Pictures head-on, and even bring the lawsuit to Los Angeles.

Faced with the sudden change, even if Harrison was confident, he suddenly became cautious.

Because the behavior of Oriental DreamWorks is really too crazy and does not conform to the conventional gameplay at all.

Business competition! It happens everywhere!

There are so many film companies in Hollywood, and competition between companies is too frequent, and the giants are no exception.

As an old fox who has been in charge of Pan American Entertainment for nearly 20 years, how could Barber not know the rules?

This kind of meaningless copyright lawsuit is a complete waste of money and energy. According to Harrison's idea, by launching the "Iron Man" comic first, he is certainly stealing the other party's creativity, but there is no evidence for this kind of thing, even if

There is no point in taking it to court.

It wastes people and money.

According to Hollywood's traditional practice, the best Oriental DreamWorks can do is condemn it in the media, then force itself to give up part of its profits and sue in court. This is pure nonsense and has no chance of winning.

But Harrison didn't expect that Oriental DreamWorks not only didn't come to him for peace talks, but instead sued in court cleanly. He seemed to be able to feel Barber's determination, which made him feel extremely puzzled. Could it be that Barber, an old man?

This guy is now with a young boss, is he going to be youthful and rebellious when he gets old?

However, he quickly put this idea behind him. Barber could not be the kind of person who was impulsive and ignored the overall situation.

Even if the young Hua Xia was willing to go crazy, Barber would not accompany him to go crazy.

Harrison knew Barber's character very well.

His fingers were tapping aimlessly on the table, but he really couldn't figure out what kind of medicine was sold in the gourd of Oriental Dream Factory.

Then, he called out the names of several other executives in the room.

"President, I don't think there is any need to worry too much. After all, the lawsuit is in the courts of Los Angeles. I think with the company's influence, the other party has absolutely no chance of winning!" said one of the executives.

After hearing this, several other people also agreed.

The people at Oriental DreamWorks may be really smart, they actually want to sue a Hollywood giant in Los Angeles. Who doesn't know that Los Angeles is the hometown of Hollywood, and going to fight in their hometown is simply impossible.

Although Harrison also thought about it in his heart, he always felt that something was wrong when he heard this executive's words.

Why?

Yes, everyone now knows that it was a failure for Oriental DreamWorks to file the lawsuit in Los Angeles. Even the outside media found it incredible that Oriental DreamWorks made this decision. It was a completely idiotic decision. Everyone thought that Oriental DreamWorks would dominate the Chinese entertainment industry with the help of Oriental DreamWorks.

As long as they choose to sue Di Mei Pictures in Yanjing, China, they will win the lawsuit nine times out of ten.

But now Oriental DreamWorks does not choose a sure way, but uses another way that makes people feel impossible. This is what Harrison feels extremely puzzled.

He didn't believe that the other party's impulsive move to bring the lawsuit to Los Angeles was a sudden one.

Even in his original plan, there was a possibility that due to the copyright dispute between Di Mei and Oriental DreamWorks, Di Mei would have a bad relationship with the Chinese cultural department because of Oriental Dream Works, which would cause Di Mei's film distribution in East Asia to be difficult.

response plan.

At that time, as long as he provokes the American media, the American media will definitely side with the United States and criticize the Chinese government, and Oriental DreamWorks will be shot at it.

Then, Di Mei Pictures will take the opportunity to block all business of Oriental DreamWorks in the United States.

The next thing is very simple, it is nothing more than achieving the goals of both parties through various exchanges of interests.

But now Oriental DreamWorks' decision has disrupted his plan.

And the trick he planned will definitely not work.

After all, his plan has a premise, that is, Dimei Pictures will encounter difficulties from the Chinese cultural department. But now Oriental DreamWorks has brought the lawsuit to Los Angeles, and the right to impose penalties has been handed over to the American judiciary. If there is any opposition at that time,

If Dimei made an unfavorable penalty, the situation would be very passive.

Even Harrison believes that Dimei's influence is enough to make the Los Angeles court rule in his favor.

But there is a saying that goes well, don’t be afraid of 10,000, just be afraid of the eventuality.

If there is a penalty that is unfavorable to Di Mei, then Di Mei will be in a very passive situation.

Harrison summoned several company executives at night and held a night meeting, but he still couldn't figure out what kind of medicine was sold in the gourd of Oriental DreamWorks.

In short, they are here to remain unchanged and adapt to changes.

Anyway, in Los Angeles, Dime Pictures is the home venue.

However, when Harrison saw a piece of news broken by the media the next day, he felt bad. His face was ashen and his mind was disturbed.

He immediately called Cole over.

"Look at the news in the newspaper. Now, immediately, immediately, go and investigate." Harrison said in a very bad mood, throwing a newspaper at Cole's face.

Cole was frightened by Harrison's angry scolding and was still confused. However, when he picked up the newspaper on the ground and saw a headline on it, his face suddenly turned pale and he mumbled.

Said: "How is it possible? This is absolutely impossible."

"Shocking news: Di Mei Pictures grandly launches the "Iron Man" comic. This idea has already been registered as a global patent by Oriental DreamWorks."

"A shocking mistake - "Iron Man", regarded as a treasure by Di Mei Pictures, has actually passed a paternity test and is the son of Oriental DreamWorks."

"The biggest joke in the history of Hollywood, the project that Di Mei Pictures was fully anticipating, turned out to be a project that someone else had already confirmed six months ago, and this project actually has a registered patent."

"How is it possible? This is impossible!" Cole's mind went blank, and he no longer knew what to say.

Because he knows that if what the newspaper says is true, it will be a huge disaster for him, his career will be completely ended, and he will become a joke in the entire Hollywood.

For a moment, Cole stood there holding the newspaper in a daze.

Seeing Cole's appearance, Harrison couldn't help but feel angry, and said coldly: "What? Do you still want me to ask you to do something?" Wuyou Novel Network does not skip words.

Now he wanted to slap Cole to death in front of him. Although he knew that even if the news in the newspaper was true, Cole would not be entirely responsible for the fault, but it was even more impossible for him to bear it, because his decision would always be

is correct.

Looking at Cole's soulless figure leaving, Harrison's eyes cast a cold gaze, and he gritted his teeth and chanted a name: Oriental DreamWorks!

Now he fully understood the intentions of Oriental DreamWorks. They had already dug a big hole for Di Mei Pictures and were waiting for him to jump in. But he didn't expect that he would actually jump in. When he thought of this, Harrison suddenly became confused.

It felt like being slapped hard on the face.

This kind of humiliation was something Harrison, who had always been proud, had never experienced before.

In other words, no one in Hollywood dares to target Di Mei Pictures like this.

After a while, Harrison's mind slowly returned to calmness. After all, he was able to have what he has today. He was not an ordinary person, and his self-control was still very strong.

After he thought about the whole thing in his mind, he suddenly understood that the whole thing might have been planned half a year ago, or when Cole poached people from the comic company.

Half a year!!

If Cole had hired people back and immediately launched comics, the situation might not have been so unfavorable.

But after half a year of delay, it was a disaster for Dimei Pictures.

No matter how confident Di Mei Pictures is now, no matter how the Los Angeles courts side with Di Mei Pictures, it will not be of much help.

The evidence is overwhelming.

Unless the court in Los Angeles really loses all face, it will make a ruling in favor of Di Mei Pictures.

However, Harrison is certain that the courts in Los Angeles will never do such a thing. After all, compared to the judicial fairness in the United States, Dime Pictures is still too small.
