Entertainment: My predecessor is a diva and my current boss is a boss

"Uncle, are you looking for me?"

Nicholas pushed open the door and asked cautiously.

Hopkinson didn't look up, not surprised by his presence.

"Nicholas, come in!"

Nicholas didn't dare to vent his anger, he walked over to the mahogany desk and stood with his hands down.

Hopkinson kept his hands on, signing his name on several documents.

He is 56 years old and has served as the executive chairman of Fox for 11 years.

It was under the leadership of Hopkinson that Twentieth Century Fox defeated many competitors and became one of the eight major film companies in the United States.

He is famous in Hollywood for his fierce and ruthless iron fist.

Hopkinson, who is over half a century old, is in very good health.

A slightly curly black short hair, not even a white hair can be seen.

"Nicholas, take a look, this is the report that was just delivered."

Hopkinson threw over a report full of words, and continued to review the documents with his head down.

Nicholas gently picked up the report and read it carefully.

This is the box office data of the premiere day of "The Twilight Saga" at Summit Entertainment's theaters yesterday.

Nicholas has no doubts about the authenticity of this data.

As long as it is something Hopkinson wants to get, he always has his own way.

"3000 million, how is this possible?"

With just one glance, Nicholas' face immediately changed.

Hopkinson stopped what he was doing, and slowly raised his head:
"Why not?"

"This...this...can't be fake?"

A cold smile appeared in Hopkinson's eyes:

"Do you think someone will use fake data to deceive me?"

Nicholas' heart sank.

This will never happen.

The last person to do this was the junior executive of Fox Corporation ten years ago.

The day after he handed over the fake report, he was involved in a lawsuit.

Charged with credit card fraud.

Until now, the little supervisor is still squatting in the bitter kiln and has not come out.

Sentenced to 13 years.

Since then, no one has dared to fool Hopkinson with fake reports, not once.

"Uncle... this is incredible. How could there be such a high box office revenue? As far as I know, there are only more than 1400 theater chains under Summit Entertainment."

"It's 1503, and they recently opened 46 new ones in some remote areas."

Uh.

Nicholas paused for a moment, and his uncle said it was 1503, so it must be 1503.

"...Even if there are 1503 movie theaters, in order to reach the box office of 1 million, each of them needs to contribute $3000 in box office."

Hopkinson said: "It is 86493.68 US dollars. As long as each movie theater contributes this figure, it can reach 1 million box office."

He raised his head, staring at Nicholas's eyes with eagle-like sharp eyes:
"I've done the calculations. Based on the price of 50 dollars per ticket, each cinema has 800 seats and played three times last night. As long as the attendance rate reaches [-]%, this goal can be easily achieved."

"Seventy percent attendance? It can't be that high, right?" Nicholas still couldn't believe it.

"Believe it or not, the facts are right in front of you." Hopkinson stood up from the chair, put his hands on the desk, and stared at him with concern:
"So, my dear nephew, tell me, how should I deal with the current situation?"

Nicholas' face changed several times.

He understood the meaning hidden in his uncle's words:
"Uncle, don't worry, I will definitely win the film and television copyright of [Harry Potter]."

"Not necessarily." Hopkinson thumped his own mahogany desk:
"It is to win the film and television copyright of [Harry Potter] at all costs, Nicholas, do you know that after the opening of the market this morning, the stock price of Summit Entertainment has risen by 15.00%, which means that we want to buy it, now It's going to cost about $15 billion."

"Yes uncle, I will definitely do it, and win the film and television copyright of Harry Potter at all costs."

"Very good." Hopkinson came out from behind the desk, came to Nicholas, and patted him on the shoulder:

"Nicholas, you also know that I hate people who are incapable and like to brag the most. If you can't keep your promise, even if it's my nephew, I can't keep you."

Nicholas shuddered and lowered his head:

"Yes uncle, I know!"

"Just know." Hopkinson returned to his seat and sat down:

"Go to work, I hope that in a few days, I can hear good news from your mouth."

"Yes, uncle."

Nicholas walked back out of the office slowly, closing the door behind him.

He turned around and ran in the direction of the human resources department.

In the elevator just now, he met Wells, the director of the human resources department, and casually mentioned the dismissal of Qiu Changhai.

I hope that Wells' work efficiency will not be so high, before he can drive away Qiu Changhai.

Now it seems that this person may still be useful.

After all, Gu Jiujiu, who is in charge of the publishing business of [Harry Potter], is a native of Dalong Kingdom.

Perhaps for the sake of being Chinese, it might give him some face.

Running all the way to the human resources department, Nicholas, out of breath, pushed the door straight in.

It just so happened that Wells, the director of the human resources department, handed over several documents to his subordinates.

"Elizabeth, post these dismissal notices on the homepage of the official website, and let these guys who plan to dawdle see that [-]th Century Fox does not support idlers."

"Yes, Mr. Wells!"

Elizabeth, a human resources clerk with gray hair and classic grandmother, respectfully agreed.

"Stop...! Wait first!"

Wells, who was talking to his subordinates, turned around and saw him, and said with a smile:
"Nicholas, are you questioning my efficiency? Don't worry, the things you entrusted will be done for you as soon as possible."

He raised the first document in his hand to signal:
"Urgent and special, how about it, am I enough?"

Wells had that "comment me, I'm great" look on his face.

Nicholas squeezed out an embarrassing smile:

"That...! Wells, I suddenly remembered that it seems a bit inhumane to fire a foreign employee like this. Why don't we give him another chance?"

Wells looked at him in surprise.

Is this the same Nicholas I know?How could he say such a thing?

Wells clearly remembered that last month, an employee from South Korea was dismissed by Nicholas because he ate kimchi for breakfast.

Reason: He didn't brush his teeth after eating kimchi, and Fox doesn't need a staff with a taste.

In fact, everyone knew that this was just an excuse he made.

The South Korean employee was dismissed because the company's front desk Catherine asked him for a favor.

What happened to Nicholas today?
Doesn't look like his character?
