Chapter 629
After some careful consideration, Yang Ming decided to go to the United States. This was a God-given opportunity.
An opportunity that can completely allow Oriental DreamWorks to gain a foothold in Hollywood.
If Oriental DreamWorks can have Barber at the helm, it will be a very good opportunity for both the development of Oriental DreamWorks and Yang Ming's dream.
Liu Xinsheng has told him many times to find a professional manager.
With the expansion of Oriental DreamWorks, Liu Xinsheng has felt that he is becoming less and less adaptable to various complicated affairs, especially international affairs, which makes Liu Xinsheng in a hurry every time.
Therefore, he has always suggested that Yang Ming find a professional manager to manage Oriental DreamWorks.
Now that Barber has resigned in Hollywood, Yang Ming suddenly thinks of Liu Xinsheng's proposal. The current shortcomings of Oriental DreamWorks, in addition to the company's own shallow background, is that there is no professional manager to plan the future development path for Oriental DreamWorks.
Yang Ming did what he thought of. He immediately booked a flight to the United States at noon today and also called Liu Xinsheng to tell him about the matter.
Liu Xinsheng finally breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the news.
He is not the kind of person who is greedy for power. He is satisfied to have reached this point.
It can be said that in this world, who knows the most about Yang Ming's ideals, besides Su Su, it is Liu Xinsheng.
Ever since Liu Xinsheng met Yang Ming by chance two years ago in that small restaurant and wanted to buy the copyright of those two pieces of music, his life had completely changed since he met Yang Ming.
Especially with Yang Ming's miraculous rise, he has become a witness to this process. No one understands this young man's monstrous talent and majestic ambition better than him.
This young man's vision will never be limited to the domestic market, and will eventually go global. "One Goal to Become Famous" also proves this point.
Therefore, through the international distribution of this film and traveling abroad, he also gained a clear understanding of his own shortcomings.
Now Liu Xinsheng fully agrees with Yang Ming's desire to invite a professional manager to serve as the head of the rapidly changing Oriental DreamWorks without any objection.
When Yang Ming got on the plane to the United States, he couldn't help but think of the national team's quarter-final match in the afternoon. He seemed to be unable to watch it.
So, after he arrived in the United States, he called Su Su and asked her and Hua Xiaoyue to pay attention to safety when they went to watch the football match.
Hollywood, USA!
Yang Ming has already been here once, but that time, he just came to sign a contract. He came in a hurry and left in a hurry, without much time to stay.
After coming out of the airport, he took a taxi to a hotel, booked a room, and after dragging his suitcase to the room, he immediately began to think about how to contact Barber.
To be honest, Oriental DreamWorks basically has no connections in the United States, except for a few theater companies that were linked to it through "One Shot to Fame" not long ago!
But Yang Ming was afraid that asking for Barbour's contact information through those theater companies would expose his purpose of coming to the United States. In this way, he would be exposed to the eyes of the media and attract a lot of harassment.
He didn't want anyone to see it, and things had already caused a storm in the city.
Still have to keep a low profile.
Yang Ming thought for a while, but still had to find a way from home.
So, he made a call to Li Canghai. After all, Li Canghai is also a famous international director and must have some connections abroad.
"It seems that your intentions are not trivial!" When Li Canghai heard Yang Ming's call on his mobile phone, he was shocked, but he said with a smile.
It is now 2 o'clock in the afternoon, and it is already late at night in China. Although Li Canghai was woken up by Yang Ming so late, after hearing Yang Ming's request, the little sleep he had left immediately disappeared.
"Hey!" Yang Ming didn't know what to say, so he smiled embarrassedly, "I'm so sorry to bother Mr. Li so late!"
"It's nothing. The bigger your company is, the better the movie sales will be. This is a good thing for our film industry!" Li Canghai didn't take Yang Ming's interruption of his rest to heart at all. He thought
After a while, he said: "Well, you wait for my call over there first, and I'll make a few calls to old friends to find out. I want a contact information. It shouldn't be a big problem."
"Then thank you Mr. Li." Yang Ming said quickly.
"Haha, you kid!" Li Canghai laughed and cursed a few times, treating Yang Ming as if he were a junior in his family. He didn't treat Yang Ming as an outsider. To be honest, he watched Yang Ming grow up.
He understood better than anyone the hardships this young man had to endure to reach this point.
Without any background or qualifications, it was only his talent and hard work that led to this astonishing achievement today.
Li Canghai was looking through the contact list while thinking about Yang Ming's experience. To be honest, he really didn't expect that Yang Ming would want to invite Barber to be the general manager of Oriental DreamWorks.
Over the past year, he has been paying attention to Yang Ming and his Oriental DreamWorks. Li Canghai always felt that Oriental DreamWorks was a little different from those domestic film giants, but he could not figure out the reason for this difference.
But now a call from Yang Ming revealed his intentions, and he immediately realized why this young man's company always made him feel different from the domestic film giants.
International!
That's right, from the beginning, this young man's vision was not limited to the country. From the beginning, he set his sights on the world, not the country.
Thinking of this, Li Canghai's hand that was flipping through the phone book couldn't help but tremble. If this is true, this young man who has watched him grow up is really not simple.
He made several calls and asked several old friends to finally get Barber's phone number and address.
Yang Ming was in the hotel, looking at the phone number and address written on the paper in his hand, thinking for a moment, and then dialed the number on the paper.
An estate in Hollywood.
"Hello!" Barber looked at an unfamiliar number on his cell phone. He hesitated for a moment, then answered the call and said that his cell phone number is a private number. If he is not a familiar person, it is impossible to know this number.
The reason why he had doubts was that after the news of his resignation was exposed by the media today, many media reporters asked for his private mobile phone number. In just a few hours, he had already received several calls wanting to interview him.
"Hello, Mr. Barber!"
The young voice coming from the other end of the phone made Barber feel a little irritated. He couldn't help but think: Could it be a harassing call from a media reporter?
Just when he wanted to hang up the phone immediately, he only heard the phone saying: "I am Yang Ming from China Oriental DreamWorks!"
When Barber heard the name of the company and the name of the young man on the phone, he couldn't help but be stunned. For a moment, he didn't even remember who Oriental DreamWorks and Yang Ming were.
Oriental DreamWorks?
Yang Ming?
Barber thought for a moment and immediately remembered who this company and this name were!
"One goal to become famous"!
Yes, it was the movie that forced him to leave Pan American Entertainment. Although the factor that caused him to leave Pan American Entertainment was the disagreement between him and Coakley, I have to say that this movie and
That young man was the trigger.
"Is it you?" Barber asked in surprise, "Young man, what do you want from me?"
"Mr. Barber, I would like to buy you a cup of coffee, is that convenient?" Yang Ming heard a trace of resentment in Barber's words and said calmly.
"Drink coffee?" Barber was startled when he heard Yang Ming's request. He really didn't expect that this young man called and wanted to drink coffee with him! But he is not an easy person to talk to. Over the years,
He had seen too many storms in Hollywood, and he quickly guessed Yang Ming's vague intention! "If you can show up in the United States at four o'clock in the afternoon, I think there should be no problem."
"No problem. How about the Blue Bottle Cafe on Oakley Street at four o'clock in the afternoon? Mr. Barber!" Yang Ming asked.
"Are you in the United States?" Barber asked in surprise. The reason why he had just agreed to meet with Yang Ming was because he thought that Yang Ming was not in the United States and would schedule the meeting tomorrow. Therefore, he deliberately arranged the meeting time.
After an hour, he really didn't expect that Yang Ming would agree immediately.
Yang Ming smiled softly when he heard this and replied calmly: "Mr. Barber, as soon as I saw the news of your resignation in China this morning, I flew over immediately."
"Okay!" Barber was extremely surprised when he heard this answer, but he quickly returned to normal and calmly agreed to Yang Ming's request to meet.
After hanging up the phone, Barber held the phone, still thinking about every word Yang Ming just said.
Although he had never met Yang Ming, through the brief conversation he had just had, he had a preliminary impression of this young man. This was a young man with absolute confidence.
"Haha, things are really interesting!" After thinking for a while, Barber couldn't help but laugh. He already had some vague guesses about Yang Ming's purpose. If the young man really did what he expected, he wouldn't even think about it.
Know what to say!
Apart from surprise, there was only a trace of disdain.
Barber checked the time, packed up, and prepared to go out to the cafe he had made an appointment with Yang Ming.
Oakland Street is almost in the suburbs. Yang Ming chose the Blue Bottle Cafe where he met. Barber had been to it once or twice before. It was a cafe with a relatively quiet environment.
At 3:45 in the afternoon, when Barber arrived at the Blue Bottle Cafe, as soon as he walked in the door, he saw a young man wearing sunglasses sitting in a remote corner.
Although he didn't see Yang Ming's true face, he could tell at a glance that this young man with a distinctive temperament and sunglasses was the young man who was going to meet him.
"Hello!" Barber walked over and said.
"Please sit down, Mr. Barber!" Yang Ming said hello with a smile. He looked up at Barber who sat down opposite. He was dressed in a suit and leather shoes, and was meticulously dressed, not a bit messy!
Through his clothes, it can be seen that this well-known Hollywood manager, known as the ace manager in the industry, is so serious even in normal times.
The two of them sat down and neither spoke first, they both looked at each other, and the atmosphere couldn't help but feel a bit dull.
