Hollywood Lover Chapter 264

Not afraid of opponents like gods, but teammates like pigs. On the mummy, Universal Pictures undoubtedly played a pig-like opponent. Even if they cannot be entirely blamed for being caught by the media that time, their inaction afterwards cannot be shirked.

With such a lesson, Zhang Dongcheng didn't dare to use too advanced propaganda methods. If it is self-defeating again, things will be in big trouble.

Besides, now Zhang Dongcheng doesn't need to use that kind of slanting approach. He has become a world-renowned director.

Although it is very embarrassing for Adaman to raise such a question in person. Zhang Dongcheng was not angry at all, it is rare for a man to have a confidant. In particular, it is even more rare to have such a critical friend who can bring up when one has done something wrong.

After explaining to Adaman the reason why he did this, Adaman also dispelled his doubts about him, laughed, and scratched the back of his head in embarrassment: "Sorry, Smith, I'm too careless!"

"It's okay! It's a very pleasant thing to have a friend like you, um, I think so!" Zhang Dongcheng punched Adaman in the chest, and also laughed.

The two laughed and laughed, as if they were back in college. Not only has the friendship between the two parties not been affected in the slightest, but it has become more and more precious.

The two left the office side by side. Just as they reached the door, Patricia walked over.

"Hi! Patricia!" After greeting Patricia, Adaman saw that she was looking for Zhang Dongcheng, and immediately found a reason, saying: "Oh, I still have something to do. Don't bother you anymore!"

Adaman had not gone far before Patricia said, "Smith, a reporter from a Los Angeles film newspaper wants to interview you. She seems to know you."

"Los Angeles Film News?" Zhang Dongcheng quickly remembered that this newspaper has been firmly supporting him since The Matrix was released. From this point of view, it is necessary for him to accept an interview with the other party. Whether it is reciprocity or other aspects, there is a need for this.

"OK! What time?" Zhang Dongcheng readily agreed.

"She's in the small meeting room right now." Patricia looked at Zhang Dongcheng with a half-smile, with an indescribable meaning in her eyes.

Patricia's performance made Zhang Dongcheng quickly understand why. If I remember correctly, since the reporter of the Los Angeles Film News claims to know her, even if she should be the blonde girl who stopped her on the street back then.

I vaguely remember that the girl is called Selina. Is a very beautiful girl. Patricia is clearly jealous now.

Zhang Dongcheng was annoyed and amused in his heart. He stretched out his hand and slapped Patricia Fengrou's nipples, and said, "Okay, I only met that Miss Selina once."

"Who...who doubted this!" Although Patricia was very forthright, she still blushed a little when he exposed the truth of her jealousy to her face.

Accompanied by Patricia, Zhang Dongcheng soon saw Selena again in the small conference room.

"Long time no see, Director Smith!" Seeing Zhang Dongcheng walk in, Selena stood up immediately.

Compared to the beginning, her body is a little less jumpy and a little more calm, and seeing Selena's haggard look, it is obvious that she has encountered some trouble recently.

"It's been a long time, Miss Selena!" Zhang Dongcheng shook hands with Selena enthusiastically.

After that, I accepted an interview for about half an hour as a matter of course.

After the interview was over, Selena looked at Zhang Dongcheng hesitantly, and then at Patricia standing beside him.

Patricia Bingxue was smart, and said very understandingly: "You guys chat first, I'll make you a new cup of coffee!"

For coffee, Zhang Dongcheng doesn't like coffee very much, but he has a special liking for tea. Patricia naturally doesn't know Zhang Dongcheng's preferences, so saying this at the moment is just to find a reason to avoid it.

After Patricia left, Zhang Dongcheng asked Selena: "Miss Selena, is there anything else you want to do with me? If so, please feel free to tell me. As a friend, as long as I Those who can help you will never refuse!"

Although I only met Selena a few times, and each time I was interviewed in a business-like manner, the Los Angeles Film News always firmly supported me. Zhang Dongcheng had already regarded this newspaper as his friend. Or an ally without any agreement!

Seeing Selena's embarrassed look just now, it was obvious that she was in trouble.

"Mr. Smith, do you have any idea of buying a newspaper!" Selena asked a little embarrassed.

In any case, Selina believes that she and Zhang Dongcheng have no personal relationship. Under such circumstances, it is obviously embarrassing to ask such a question to the other party.

But Selina has no choice but to find Zhang Dongcheng.

"Acquisition of a newspaper?" Zhang Dongcheng was confused and asked in surprise, "Miss Selina, with all due respect, you don't want me to acquire the Los Angeles Film News, do you?"

Who knew that Selena actually nodded and said, "Yes!"

"May I know the reason?" Zhang Dongcheng asked curiously.

When Selena told Zhang Dongcheng what had happened, he finally understood what was going on.

The Los Angeles Film News was founded by Selena's father and uncle. Both parties each hold 50 percent of the shares.

I think the reason why Selena dared to violate the mission given to him by the newspaper to interview Zhang Dongcheng was because the newspaper was her family business.

But Selena's uncle has recently become addicted to drugs. Not only did he lose all his money in Las Vegas last week, he even mortgaged 50% of the newspaper's shares. In the end, a large sum of money was owed.

Now the people from the casino are coming to the door. If the money cannot be returned, then the father's hard work will be completely wasted.

The Los Angeles Film News itself is a new newspaper, not of much value. If it is mortgaged to the bank, it will not be able to repay the debt owed by the uncle.

As the saying goes, it's not the poor that saves the emergency. Selena's father, Stov, asked a former friend to borrow money, but after the other party learned the truth, they all shirked it. After all, who would want to lend money to a gambler? Even if this gambler is Selena's father, the other party doesn't dare to take risks.

In desperation, Selina found Zhang Dongcheng. This is also coming with the last ray of hope. If Zhang Dongcheng can't get an affirmative answer here, then she will really give up.

Selena came to her so hastily, which really made Zhang Dongcheng a little embarrassed. After all, he didn't want to clean up such a mess.

But thinking that even now, the Los Angeles Film News is continuing to support him. As a person who knows how to repay him, Zhang Dongcheng is a little embarrassed for a while.

Selena didn't bother Zhang Dongcheng at this time, she understood that Zhang Dongcheng was thinking about it. Will give myself an answer soon. Either hopeless, or the only hope! Even if it was a shirk, it was attributed to the latter in Selena's heart.

Sure enough, after about two minutes, Zhang Dongcheng pondered and said seriously: "Miss Selena, I'm sorry. I can't tell you the answer directly. As a businessman, I can't invest in projects that are bound to fail."

When Selina heard this, her heart suddenly became ashamed. This obvious refusal has already made her completely desperate!

"I think, if possible, I need someone to investigate the operation and sales of the Los Angeles Film Newspaper! Only when I know this, can I make a decision!" Zhang Dongcheng's shocking panting almost made him Selena jumped up excitedly.

Of course, maybe there was a thought in her mind to beat up Zhang Dongcheng violently, after all, his way of speaking is so disgusting. But at this time, Selena had already put all the unhappiness behind her, and her mind was full of the content of Zhang Dongcheng's last sentence.

Need to investigate! That means there is hope!

In Selena's opinion, if her uncle hadn't lost everything, there would definitely be countless people rushing to invest in the Los Angeles Film News based on the operating conditions of the Los Angeles Film Newspaper.

"Mr. Smith, I have brought the newspaper's recent operating conditions and the newspaper's sales curve!" Selena happily took out some documents from the bag beside her and handed them to Zhang Dongcheng.

Zhang Dongcheng touched his nose slightly in surprise, he didn't expect Selena to be so well prepared. After taking these documents, the sales curve of the newspaper is placed on the top.

This is an enviable curve, in a state of constant climbing. Even when there was a problem with the newspaper last week, this climbing was only at a smaller angle. But still growing.

From this point of view, the Los Angeles Film News is definitely promising. As long as there are readers, there is no need to worry about sales. And with both of these, people who want to advertise will naturally come, so the operation must not be much worse.

Sure enough, after continuing to look at the operating status below, Zhang Dongcheng had to admit that the owner of the Los Angeles Film Newspaper, that is, Selena's father, is indeed a talented person. After more than a year, it has developed to a second-rate level.

And also established sales outlets in surrounding cities such as San Diego, San Francisco, Sacramento, etc. If not for this accident, it is foreseeable that the top newspapers in California will definitely have their place in the future.

After waiting quietly for Zhang Dongcheng to read the newspaper materials he brought, Selina asked cautiously: "Director Smith, what do you think? Can you buy me?"
