She dominates the entertainment industry with her disaster system

"You sound like you have plenty of energy? Then I guess you still have time to go back to New York and sign a few contracts? In any case, you and Joey are the ones who make the decisions in the company. The distribution of Romance can only be decided by the two of you."

In order to prevent Su Lingxi from bringing up topics that he didn't like to hear, Kevin decided to take the initiative.

"Wait, you mean, you think Sunrise should just buy out the distribution rights to The Death of Romanticism?" Su Lingxi unconsciously raised her voice, "You're optimistic about this movie?"

Kevin coughed twice and cleared his throat. "Of course, the finished product of this film is as self-explanatory as its name. It is a sensational and moving love story. Although some plots are inevitably clichéd, the editing rhythm is very good and the pictures are beautiful. I think many young people will be willing to pay for such a film."

"So, you think this could be the first thing we try to release?"

"Yes, I think this is a good opportunity - it's profitable and the risk is low enough." Kevin said calmly, "If you want to build Sunrise into a real film and television company instead of a shell company, then you must try this step."

"In Hollywood, it is not difficult to build a film and television company. Cooperating with large companies for investment is the first step. Now we have done it. Independent distribution is the goal we need to achieve in the second stage."

"After that, there will be a series of company businesses that we need to improve, such as sole-owned production and peripheral operations."

Kevin said it lightly, but Su Lingxi had also learned about the relevant information and knew very well that with every step forward the company would have to invest more costs and funds than before, and would face more difficulties.

"Then we should start recruiting employees for the distribution department now." Su Lingxi thought for a moment and asked another question, "I remember this matter was given to--"

"Joey got it done two weeks ago." Kevin could tell there was a hint of pride in his voice - just like an old father who wanted his son to succeed. "It's worth mentioning that he has already bought out the copyright for four million. Now we just need to figure out how to establish Sunrise's distribution system across the United States..."

The advantages of "Death of Romanticism" lie in the director's ability, picture composition and editing logic. There are no big-name stars and no famous IPs, so the negotiation will not be difficult - this is what Su Lingxi had expected.

But what she didn't expect was that Joey would get all of this done before her.

Even without her knowledge, Joey and Kevin had already agreed to buy out the rights to The Death of Romanticism.

No one came to ask for her opinion, and her existence was ignored as if it was a matter of course.

She is a major shareholder of the company along with Joey, but they seem to treat her as a marginal person who is just there to get by.

It is undeniable that Su Lingxi felt a little annoyed when he felt this.

To this day, there are very few people who dare to ignore her like this in front of her - if it was someone else talking to her today, she would get angry on the spot and tell the other person in the most direct way who is the boss of the company.

But it happened to be Kevin Cowan.

He was not only the biggest contributor to helping her win the Palme d'Or, but also made a lot of efforts to get Sunrise Films on the right track.

What's more, she still "owed" him something - in order to win the support of Columbia Pictures, she made a promise on her own initiative and promised to help them persuade Li Shuo to sign a contract with Columbia for his next new film.

Now that the Cannes trophy was warm in her hands, she still had no idea how to convince Li Shuo in the next few months.

After thinking about the twists and turns of this matter, Su Lingxi decisively chose to remain silent - for both emotional and logical reasons, she could not offend Kevin now, let alone Columbia.

Instead of questioning others, it is better to find a way out yourself.

After hanging up the phone, Su Lingxi carefully locked the room, closed her eyes, and entered the [private space] again.

[Host, is there anything you need? ]

The system's electronic sound suddenly rang out. It still had the same cold tone as usual, but it inexplicably revealed a bit of strange enthusiasm.

Su Lingxi frowned slightly.

Ever since the day the system told her that the energy collection was completed, it became a little... weird.

The specific "weird" behaviors are: becoming particularly enthusiastic towards her, popping up to talk to her whenever he wants (the frequency of this behavior has decreased a lot under her strict prohibition), and whenever he senses that she has entered his [private space], he will run out to greet her with his voice...

Su Lingxi couldn't figure out what was going on, but thinking of the "naive" attribute hidden in the system, she simply didn't bother with it.

After all, even supernatural phenomena like traveling through books can happen. Some things have long been beyond the scope of human cognition, so it is useless to think about them.

Su Lingxi did not answer the system's question directly, but chose to go to the [Training Room] and bought a series of books and courses related to business administration, including "Management", "Business Negotiation and Communication", "Strategic Management", "Business Law", "Operations Management", etc.

System: […Host, are you sure you want to purchase so many courses at once? ]

Su Lingxi: [Well, these courses are my "necessities" now. ]

Although it was painful to see the number on the points balance drop sharply, Su Lingxi knew better than anyone that this was the only way for her to gain the right to speak in the company.

Both in her previous life and in this life, she was very unfamiliar with business management. She had never participated in business negotiations, nor had she spent time on further studies. It would not be an exaggeration to say that she was a complete layman in this area.

Kevin and Joey were almost entirely responsible for the detailed execution and contract negotiations of the entire "Death of Romanticism" project. All she could do was make preliminary judgments when selecting projects.

If this trend continues, perhaps in a few years she will have to hand over the company's power to Joey Cox and become a completely marginalized figure in the management.

Having spent so much effort to build Sunrise, Su Lingxi certainly doesn't want everything to end up being a favor to others.

Therefore, no matter how busy her schedule is, she is determined to take time out every day to go to [Private Space] to study relevant courses and enrich herself.

Similarly, compared to those fancy business school courses, the one-on-one AI teaching provided by the system is more detailed and more convenient for her to save time.

——At least, before returning to New York to sign a contract next time, she must learn the most basic business practices.

Su Lingxi sat up straight, picked up the pen, and secretly set a flag in his heart.
