Air conditioning is broken?

Andy's small eyes narrowed into slits, almost disappearing. Maitreya's face became more relaxed, and the smile rose slightly at the corner of his mouth, as if he didn't understand the meaning behind this sentence at all.

Such a poor excuse, even a junior agent who has just entered the business for a year or two can smell something wrong, let alone an old fox like Andy? It is not unusual that the air conditioner in the conference room is broken; it is strange that the meeting is still arranged in this conference room without taking any countermeasures knowing that the air conditioner is broken.

As one of the top six film companies in Hollywood, Universal Pictures has been at the bottom of the table many times in recent years, and the results have not improved, but Lionsgate has still not been able to achieve the overtake. This is the background, more than half a century of precipitation and accumulation , is still one of the Big Macs, how could they not even have a conference room with the normal operation of the air conditioner?

Obviously, this is the dismounting; and it is still the dismounting without any cover, and it is clear that a slap in the face is severely slapped on Andy's face.

But why?

Clarify the recent rumors? Or avoid the excitement that the media has been pursuing recently? Or is it to emphasize Universal Pictures' attitude toward the dispensation of contract renewals? Or is it to lower Andy's expectations, take the initiative in the salary negotiation of the renewal contract, and imply that Andy doesn't want to speak out? Or are there other potential, unknown reasons?

But no matter what the reason is, dismounting like this is too clumsy and too direct, not to mention that the two sides are now in a state of cooperation honeymoon, even if it is an enemy who turns his face and does not recognize anyone, this method is too naive. Such a move is more like malicious revenge for personal grievances, but who is it?

Van Diesel? Christian Wagner? Fisher-Morgan? Or Ron Mayer?

The reasons behind it can be slowly investigated, but what is important is his current response attitude. Of course Andy couldn't hold back his anger, and just went into the meeting room and waited stupidly, but if the reaction was too intense, it might tear his face.

Andy is not worried about tearing his face. Anyway, the creative artist agency will come forward and reach a settlement with Universal Pictures. This is not a problem. The point is, can tearing up the face achieve the goal? If not, then Andy doesn't plan to turn himself into a circus clown.

In the blink of an eye, Andy had finished thinking and said to the assistant next to him with a smile, "Excuse me, where is Michael-Fottrell's office?"

Michael Fordry, deputy general manager of Universal Studios' production department, personally created the "Fast and the Furious" series, "Die Hard" series and more.

However, his ability is not in the production. The works that have suffered fiasco such as "Catwoman" and "Underworld Police Department" are also from his hands. His real ability lies in management. More often, he exists as a leader, and then he is a producer. In fact, he rarely goes to the set, and he did not show up during the whole shooting of "Fast and Furious 5". It can be said that he is a man of real power, not a man of action.

The development of the follow-up series of "Fast and Furious", whether the project is approved, how to prepare the team, budget costs, etc., must be decided by Michael, who can communicate directly with Ron Mayer, CEO of Universal Pictures. After passing the Michael level, Neil-h-Moretz will appear for further implementation and execution.

It can be understood in this way that Michael belongs to Universal Pictures, and he is a part of Universal Pictures; while Neil is not, he is a producer, in the same position as a director and an actor, except for Universal Pictures, he There are also many cooperation projects with other film companies, but thanks to the success of the "Fast and the Furious" series, he has a closer relationship with Universal Pictures.

In today's meeting, it is not known who is in charge of Universal Pictures, but Andy directly skipped those potential candidates and pointed to Michael Forte.

The little assistant was immediately frightened. Obviously, he's just a little guy, just following the instructions to lead the way. He doesn't know how to deal with such a thing. "Uh, um, Mr. Fordry's office... I, I don't know."

"Then I can ask someone who is clear." The amiable smile on Andy's face, like a spring breeze, makes people feel kind and friendly, but the words are unyielding, and there is no compromise.

Andy went over the shoulder of the little assistant and started looking for other people on the floor. Although the assistant was still extremely flustered, he still stabilized his position a little bit, regained his strength, and said calmly, "Mr. Rogers, please wait in the conference room? Mr. Fordri is now in another meeting, he It'll be over in a while."

Andy closed his jaw with a smile, as if he had been persuaded by such rhetoric, which made the little assistant's suspended heart slowly fall back into his chest, but the next second, he heard Andy say, "I am today The itinerary is also very urgent. I just made a special trip to tell Michael that I hope this meeting can be rescheduled to show my sincerity. Then, can I leave a message for you to convey it? Or, you need me to leave a convenience Post, directly convey the meaning to Michael?"

Universal Pictures has been slapped in the face, how could Andy swallow it. Regarding the remuneration, about the next cooperation, he didn't even have time to put forward his own ideas, let alone the lion opened his mouth, the other party can't wait to show his power, no matter what the reason, Andy can't be soft

Weakly accepted.

Andy believes that Renly wouldn't mind if he missed "Fast \u0026 Furious 6". Therefore, it is still unknown who has the advantage. Universal Pictures is so proud right now, it's really hard to see the form.

Andy is even more curious about who is behind this incident. So stupid, it doesn't look like Ron Mayer's old fox at all.

The assistant didn't expect Andy's strategy at all. After he calmed down, he was stunned. He blinked and looked at Andy, not knowing what to do for a while - if Andy really left, then his Is the job a mess?

"If you don't need me to leave a post-it note, then I'll just leave." Andy didn't have any sympathy for the innocent assistant. He pointed to the direction of the elevator and said with a smile.

In the end, the little assistant still gritted his teeth, persisted, and didn't change his mouth, "Can I trouble you to leave a handwritten message?" He said with a smile, but the smile was terribly stiff.

After leaving the message, Andy turned around and left without stopping. Standing at the elevator entrance and waiting for a while, the elevator came up swayingly, and Andy's mood gradually calmed down, and the air conditioner in the room made his brain work again. The attitude of Universal Pictures today is really intriguing. After he returns, he must inquire about the news and make many preparations.

The elevator door closed slowly, and then the heart-wrenching shout was heard, "Mr. Rogers, Mister Rogers!" A figure sprinted over and pulled the elevator door tightly, out of breath. "Sir, please stay here, Mr. Fordry's meeting is over."

Andy had already taken out his mobile phone, was flipping through the address book, raised his head to look at the assistant in front of him, and said with a smile, "But I do have something to do today, as for the rescheduling of the meeting, my assistant will contact us further, and then we Let's see the time." He is not an employee of Universal Pictures, and he will come and go.

Looking at the smiling but unwavering Andy, the little assistant felt like crying. Fortunately, the Lord is finally here.

In the distance, Michael Fordri and Neil H-Moritz walked in unhurried pace, one after the other, with bright smiles on their faces, Headed towards Andy.

Andy also smiled and preemptively said, "You must have received my message. It's really rude, I hope you didn't interrupt your meeting just now." That calm attitude, as if the dismounting incident had never happened. Ordinary; and he really is just passing through.

"Our meeting just ended." Neil took the initiative to take over the topic, "The meeting on 'Speed ​​and Passion' took a little longer than expected." A simple sentence explained, "How? , are you leaving now?"

"My brother will arrive in Los Angeles this afternoon, and my mother told me to go to the reception. I had confirmed this two weeks ago, but unfortunately, my assistant forgot to confirm it. Now, the meeting was scheduled for this afternoon. It was my fault, so on the way to the airport, I decided to come over and apologize in person." Andy said calmly, and even explained the ins and outs, in a prudent manner. .

"Family is always the most important thing." Neil laughed cheerfully, "However, before heading to the airport, I wonder if you have thirty minutes, we can sit down and have a good talk. Even if your brother arrives at the airport , I believe you can still go to receive him on time. In this way, we allow you to turn on your mobile phone to ensure that he can contact you as soon as possible, so that he will not miss it." After that, Neil blinked. , seems to have established a tacit understanding with Andy.

Immediately, Neil didn't give Andy a chance to refuse, turned around and introduced Michael to introduce the two of them. Michael sent an invitation again, saying that this meeting was just a preliminary exchange of views and could end soon. . Andy didn't continue to be hypocritical, and agreed.

The group walked straight to the conference room - the conference room where the air conditioner was broken just now. After entering, Michael realized that the air conditioner was broken, and hurriedly invited Andy and Neil to his office, as if he really Know nothing. At this point, the air-conditioning incident has temporarily come to an end, at least on the surface, everything has been reasonably explained.

But is it really so?
