Reborn Wealth America

Honorary director or director of the board of directors.

This is in the European and American world, when the ancient royal system and aristocratic system are gradually disappearing and weakening, and money and enterprises have emerged as the most mainstream group forces in the European and American world.

This reputation.

It's almost like a variety of ancient noble titles.

Successful people, each one has the title of director of the board of several large companies or famous companies.

Such as Buffett.

He has the title of director of the board of directors of 136 companies, of which more than 20 are the title of chairman of the board.Then, among these 136 titles, more than 50 are fortune 500 companies in the world.

Another example is Soros.

The title of director of the board of directors he holds is much less than that of Buffett, after all, compared with such a steady investment force of Buffett.A hedge fund like the Quantum Fund will only make people feel scared. There are always fewer people who are afraid than they like, and the Quantum Fund has always been mainly engaged in various short-term investments.

Since it is a short-term investment, most of it has no controlling rights, and it will not last long.So naturally, there is not much time and energy to toss about the title of director of the board of directors.

But if Soros wants.

There are still a large number of small and medium-sized companies willing to invite him to become a director, or even an honorary chairman, which is not impossible.

all in all.

Because in China and East Asia, the notion of official standard after thousands of years is relatively heavy, and they don't pay much attention to this aspect.

And this one in Europe and America.

This system may be a variant of the ancient European royal power system and aristocratic system. With the support of the new wealthy aristocrats in the new century, that is, the new money in English, it has gradually become the mainstream honorary title of society.

In Europe and America.

Especially when it comes to enrollment, work, and campaigns, the nominal directors or board directors of some famous companies can be a great help.

For example, when Mr. Bill Gates entered Harvard University.

Except that he did a good job.The most important thing is that he has a mother who is one of the board members of IBM.

At that time, IBM was in full swing, and the obscene power of the blue giant was absolutely crushing the world when the computer technology just appeared.When Mr. Bill Gates was just in college and entrepreneurship, IBM's position at the time was equivalent to the current Apple Company, plus Google plus Microsoft, plus Facebook.

So you can imagine.

At that time, Bill's mother, one of the directors of the IBM board of directors, had a place in society.

Sending my son to Harvard University or something is nothing to say.

It is precisely because of this complex in European and American societies that Abel suddenly came up with the idea that he puts the honors of various boards of directors in the eyes of Europeans and Americans very seriously, and as a new paramount player to gain social attention One of the means, once this method is implemented, nothing else.

The advertising effect must be very good.

After all, in the eyes of ordinary people, no matter how strong you Viacom or Paramount are, you still can't achieve the attention of those big stars in their minds.

For those who have grown up from the three perspectives of European and American societies, the title of director of the board of directors of a famous company is used as a bait to attract people.

It's really incredible.

It even makes people feel weird, there is a feeling of cooking a crane.

It's like an ancient Chinese minister, seeing his majesty suddenly become nervous, throwing all kinds of princes, earls, marquis and other high noble titles to those actors.

It's impossible to spray without jumping up.

But Abel's soul is a standard Chinese soul, and has no complex in this regard.This aspect is not important.Especially when his plug-in use becomes more and more mature, the titles such as various nominal directors or board directors are becoming less and less important.

The most important thing is that he discovered.

After he rewarded Elizabeth Olsen with the position of executive director of Viacom's board of directors.

The female stars who have a relationship with him have become more active and more proactive.

He who noticed this change.

Only then did I understand how important such an honorary title is to people in Europe and America.Especially for those big-name celebrities who have always been glamorous, but in fact have not been very high in social status, it is more attractive.

The big stars have enough social influence. They have a large number of fans and shine in the stage and movies. Every time they go out, they can attract fans and paparazzi.

They generally don't lack money.If you make a movie, you can get hundreds of thousands of dollars for less rewards, and even hundreds of millions of dollars for more.

They are missing.

Now, in the eyes of those upper-class society, it is in the eyes of mainstream social groups that looks tall and tall.

And the directors of the boards of major companies, this title can complement this.

The bait thrown by Abel.

For Hollywood practitioners, it is definitely sweet enough.

For the title of director of the CBS board that he has now thrown out.

Make everyone around you shine.

CBS is the English abbreviation of CBS.

Founded in February 1927, CBS is one of the three major commercial radio and television companies in the United States. Its funding comes from advertising and broadcasting revenue.

Another century-old company.

to be frank.

The identity of CBS's board of directors.Even more than the identity of Viacom's board of directors, there are even more attractive to these big Hollywood stars.

Compared with Viacom Group.

CBS is even more influential. It is one of the few big TV stations in the world.

Now Abel throws this bait.

Gal Gadot really moved for a moment.

To become a director of the CBS board of directors, if you can become an executive director of CBS like Elizabeth Olsen.

I can't say, I can walk sideways in Hollywood right away.But the neglect in the past and the humiliation at the bottom of the food chain will definitely disappear immediately.

This is the director of the CBS board!

Who are the board directors of CBS?

Redstone, Buffett, Bill Gates, etc.

Although the holding ratio of others except Redstone is very low, most of the time they will not participate in the operation of the company, it looks more like an honorary director.

It's just that... if you can be parasitic with these people, how attractive is this to the Hollywood stars around!

The attraction was so great that Robert Downey Jr. in front didn't even care that Abel actually asked Gal Gadot, he had already offered himself.

"Dear Mr. Sefrosa. I think I can help you with this! If Oasis Investment is willing to hire me to be the board director of CBS, I am willing to shoot at least five movies for Paramount! And the remuneration can be negotiated. How about a 20 million dollar one?!"

The conditions for Robert Downey Jr. are already very good. As one of the few super first-line stars in Hollywood, Downey’s pay is amazingly high.

Some media once made a table of "Avengers 3" actors' appearance time and film pay ratio ~ accurate to how much money per second, of which Downey only played 18 minutes, scraping away 50 million US dollars in pay per second. The remuneration is as high as $46,296.

The second place is Scarlett Johansson.

She played for five minutes and took away 10 million U.S. dollars in remuneration, earning 33,333 U.S. dollars per second.

The third place is the actor of Captain America.

The bottom of the result was the model worker who played the longest time-the actor of Thanos.

He played up to 29 minutes, but the pay was only 2 million US dollars, and the rate of making money per second was 1136 US dollars.

Long ago, Downey was an addict.

I beg my grandpa to tell my grandmother, no one looked for him in the movie.But as time goes by, his pay has also risen."Iron Man" paid only 500,000 US dollars; "Iron Man 2" 10 million; "Iron Man 3" 50 million US dollars, it is said that "Iron Man 4" is going to be filmed, but I dare not think about the pay, so there is no more.

This can be seen.

Downey’s current conditions are actually very generous. He is willing to shoot at least five films for Paramount, and the pay for each film is only 20 million US dollars.

He is truly exchanging money for honor.

Five movies, normally speaking, if he plays the leading role, the total price of him is not 400 million US dollars.

Now it's about 100 million U.S. dollars. This kind of thing can be done...

It sounds very favorable.

It sounds like Robert Downey Jr. is very generous and willing to pay hundreds of millions of dollars for an honorary title.

In fact, you can't say that.

Because in addition to the simple salary, time cost must be considered.Downey is over 50 years old this year and he is no longer young. If he really shoots five films for Paramount, if they are all big productions, at the speed of filming in Europe and America, it will take at least seven years. the above.

There are so many things that can change in seven years.

Maybe one or two of the scenes in the middle are smashed, and his pay will plummet.And as the age increases, the pay will also drop accordingly.

honestly.

Although Downey is now the highest paid actor in the world.But in the future, after he quit the Marvel series of films, it is still unknown whether he can maintain such a high box office appeal.

in other words.

After leaving Marvel, it is unknown whether he can earn his current salary in the next ten years.

He made such a condition.

Now it looks very rich and attractive.But under the current conditions, the six major Hollywood companies have excluded Abel's Paramount, and the other companies will not consider it.

If he were ten years younger and he had just finished shooting Iron Man II, he would offer this condition.

It is estimated that at least three of the six major Hollywood companies are willing to obtain such Robert Downey Jr. as a nominal director.

It’s just Donny now...

If it's Disney or Marvel, for the sake of the Avengers and Iron Man series, maybe they will.

But the other six Hollywood players without the Avengers and Iron Man are definitely not considered.

These things.

In just a few seconds.

Abel figured it out.

In the surprised eyes of everyone, he quickly bargained with Robert Downey Jr.:

"How about a Paramount director?"

Robert Downey Jr. frowned.

"The conditions must be changed to three, with a salary of 30 million US dollars!"

An honorary director of Paramount still sounds tall.But obviously, there is no CBS board director, which is more attractive.

"Two movies! Fixed salary of 20 million dollars! Paramount Honorary Director!"

Abel bargained.

Robert Downey Jr. only considered for a while, seeing Nicholas Cage behind Abel and other Hollywood big names around him, especially the eyes of Brother Xiao Tang not far away.

He hesitated for less than three seconds.

Immediately nodded in agreement: "Deal! Mr. Sefrosa!"

"You are welcome to join the new Paramount!"

Abelhaha laughed.

Stand up and hug Robert Downey Jr. who also stood up.

On both sides, each takes what it needs.

Downey got the title of Hollywood's famous actors and most desired directors with a certain social influence.

For him, who is already aging, this is not a loss, anyway, it is just two movies, and it is not a free job, and there is a salary of 20 million US dollars.

Robert Downey Jr. is not at a loss.

Abel did not lose.

With the title of an honorary director of Paramount's board of directors, who is not very important in his own view, in exchange for the joining of Robert Downey Jr., the most popular actor in the world, who can shoot two movies at a low price. This is definitely a good deal.

This sale.

It can be called a win-win situation.

The two quickly bargained and made a quick decision, leaving everyone around them dumbfounded.

So fast?

It's decided!!

This kind of quick response really made the people around him even unresponsive.Including Gail Gadot beside Abel, and Tom Cruise not far away.

Tom Cruise, known as Brother Xiaotang in China.He is also an actor with high global box office appeal. Before Downey, he should be the one with the highest global box office appeal and salary.

Downey also relied on the super-British movies and the extremely integrated Iron Man character set to overcome this big star who had already gained fame in the last century.

Tom Cruise is also very excited about the honor of Paramount's honorary director.It's just that he didn't know Abel, nor was he close enough to Abel like Robert Downey Jr., he couldn't help it.

Other stars.

My heart moved more or less.

Especially the female stars.Because there is already Elizabeth Olsen Jewel in front.

She easily became a member of Viacom's board of directors, and she is still an executive director with real power.

at this time.

Abel also said to Robert Downey Jr.: "Wait for a drink! Welcome to Paramount, dear Downey!"

"my honor!"

Robert Downey Jr. with glasses smiled happily.

The two shook hands again.

Cooperation reached.
