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

Calais Faugia Los Angeles, Beverly Hills, [-]th Century Fox Film Corporation Headquarters.

At the top of the 38-story building, there is a logo of [-]th Century Fox - a squatting fox.

The company's biggest old fox, CEO Hopkinson, is working on the company's documents at his desk.

He has a slight obsessive-compulsive disorder, and today's work will never be backlogged until tomorrow.

"Buzzing..." The intercom phone on the desk rang several times.

Hopkinson pressed the answer button casually.

It was the receptionist who called to ask for instructions.

"President, Mr. Gusta from Lionsgate is here!"

"Gusta? This old guy is really anxious!" Hopkinson muttered in a low voice, then raised his voice:
"I see, let him come up!"

"Okay, President!" The receptionist put down the phone and politely said to the silver-haired Gusta:
"Mr. Gusta, our president invites you to go up, his office is on the 36th floor!"

Gusta hummed expressionlessly, and strode towards the elevator with two followers.

On the 36th floor, in the CEO's office, there was a sound of pecking on the door.

"Come in!"

Hopkinson's oppressive voice sounded in the office.

Gusta was not affected at all, and pushed the door open.

"Gusta, my old friend, welcome to Twentieth Century Fox."

Hopkinson squeezed out a blunt smile on his ice-like face, and greeted him with open arms.

"Stop!" Gusta looked serious, took two steps back and raised his hand:

"I will not be friends with you, an old fox, not in the past, not in the future, I am here today to get the reward you promised Lionsgate Films."

This old guy still has such a ruthless temper, and a glint of sullenness flashed in the depths of Hopkinson's eyes.

He is used to being held high above others.

Things are different today, with [-]th Century Fox turning to Lionsgate.

Hopkinson suppressed his anger, and the grim smile returned to his stern face.

Seeing the change in the old guy's expression, Gusta felt an unspeakable sense of relief in his heart.

Old guy, you have today too.

The sternness on Hopkinson's face gradually subsided, and he became smiling.

Although anyone with a discerning eye can see that this smile is fake.

"Gusta, your character is still so straightforward, hahaha..."

"No way." The silver-haired Gusta shrugged:

"I've been stubborn all my life, can I change it when I'm old?"

"In that case!" Hopkinson raised his hand to signal:
"Please sit down and talk!"

"No, I don't think there is anything to talk about between us, you still give me what you promised."

Hopkinson's sharp eyes fell on Gusta's face, and he stared at him for a long time.

The silver-haired Gusta stared back at him coldly.

The two followers of Lionsgate Films were overwhelmed by the powerful aura of the two, and lowered their heads in fear.

I don't know how long it took.

Maybe it was just for a moment, maybe it was a long time, the four eyes that collided and sparked finally separated.

Hopkinson looked away, walked slowly to the desk, opened the drawer, took out a document, and threw it on the desk.

"Gusta, this is the Spider-Man copyright you want to take back."

The silver-haired Gusta grabbed the documents on the table and read them carefully, the expression on his face finally relaxed.

This is the Spider-Man copyright that was bought by Twentieth Century Fox when Lionsgate was struggling.

"We're done!"

Gusta seriously put the copyright transfer letter into his pocket, turned around and left.

"Wait a minute!" Hopkinson said loudly:

"Gusta, I hope you will keep your promise, and we will not help each other until we decide the outcome with Summit Entertainment."

Gusta's footsteps stopped at the door, but he didn't look back, but there was a hint of sarcasm in his tone:
"Hopkinson, are you worried that I will make trouble? But don't worry, not everyone is as despicable as your Fox family. I will do what I promised, but..."

He turned around slowly and looked at Hopkinson mockingly:

"...Do you think that you have already settled for Summit Entertainment and Li Changan?"

"Isn't it? Peak Entertainment's market value is less than 13 billion, and my Fox company is a behemoth of more than 150 billion. I can't think of any reason why he can turn around. After all, this time, there is no one standing behind him." Lionsgate!"

Hopkinson's voice was full of confidence.

The sarcasm in the silver-haired Gusta's eyes was even stronger, and he said slowly:
"I think if you knew what this young man named Li Changan was doing a year ago, you wouldn't have the courage to say that."

Hopkinson froze for a moment.

Could it be that Li Changan really has something special that he has overlooked?

No, it won't.

No matter what achievements he had in the past, in front of the Fox family, it was just a cloud.

As long as the wind blows, it dissipates.

Gusta must have said that on purpose, trying to disgust me.

It's a pity that you misunderstood, who is old Hopkinson, how could he be fooled by you?
Thinking of this, his gaze became firm again:
"I don't care what he did before, this is not Dalong Kingdom, and the Fox family is not comparable to the kittens and puppies he has encountered before."

"Hehe..." The smile on Gusta's face became even brighter:
"Since you are so confident, I wish you the best of luck."

After speaking, he left the office without delay.

Hopkinson looked at the empty doorway, his face constantly changing.

The smooth sailing of these years has made him overconfident. Now that he calms down and thinks about Gusta's words carefully, he may really have overlooked something.

Could it be that I have been strong for most of my life, and finally I have to fall into a fight with this oriental man?
No, absolutely impossible.

With an arrogant character, Hopkinson does not allow this one-in-a-million chance to happen.

He walked quickly to his desk and pressed the call button on the intercom.

"Mr. Hopkinson, what are your orders?"

The assistant's response was quick, and the call was connected almost as soon as the bell rang.

Hopkinson is very satisfied with the confidant he trained himself:
"Richard, within the shortest possible time, you have collected information about Li Changan from Summit Entertainment in the past few years. I need his detailed information on these three years."

I don't know why the boss suddenly asked for the information of an Oriental, but the assistant didn't dare to ask.

"Okay Mr. Hopkinson, what you asked for will be on your desk by the end of the day at the latest!"

"Well, let's do it!" Hopkinson hung up the intercom and sat back on the boss chair.

When a lion fights a rabbit, it needs to use all its strength.

This time I really want to thank Gusta for the reminder.

It was he who made me understand this truth.
