As soon as Laila's words came out, there was a whisper of discussion.
In their view, this is a great plan, or that they have no intention of growing the company in the past.
You must know that this company was still facing the threat of bankruptcy earlier last year. Those who are capable and powerful are either being poached or resigned by themselves. Apart from diehard loyalists like Louise, only ordinary people remain in the company. They can do their job well but only do well. It is too difficult for them to hope that they can complete the work more creatively.
So when Laila proposed such a huge-sounding plan, many people felt a sense of ignorance. If they can choose, they hope they can rely on Laila and her blockbuster movies so that they can only serve her and don't have to think about more things.
But that's what Laila didn't want to see. She had the benefits of rebirth and huge plans for the future. She can tolerate people with little ambition to work for her, but she will never tolerate subordinates who pull their legs and do not obey her orders. She has already proposed the plan, and the people below only need to help her improve the plan. As for opposition to support or something, she doesn't need it at all.
She came up with this plan when she met Alan and Rob, knowing that they were the creators of the "Deadly Turn." As she said, the company only relies on her alone, and it is impossible to develop into a truly big company by only revolving around her. It must absorb more cooperation to have a better future.
Some well-known directors have their own management companies or film companies. It is not easy to work with them. Even if they have the opportunity, they will reduce their company's profits. Shooting a movie requires hard work, but most of the money earned must be divided among others. How could Laila want to see such a thing? Especially when she knows that the movies she makes will make a lot of money.
Therefore, well-known directors and well-known screenwriters or actors who spend a lot of money have eliminated the possibility of cooperation with her.
Therefore, she will focus more on the new generation, relying on the foresight brought by rebirth to target directors and actors with promising futures. Relying on this foresight to produce a batch of excellent movies, quickly gain a place in Hollywood before being watched by other big film companies!
Laila looked around the office. Her ice-blue eyes narrowed dangerously: "What? There is a problem?"
I don't know if the color of her eyes makes people feel cold. When she swept her gaze, everyone felt cold. Even the most courageous one shook his head subconsciously: "No problem!"
"Very good. Since there is no problem now, there will be problems between us afterward. I don't want something like that to happen, and I believe you will do the same." Laila smiled, but unfortunately, still in the mood to laugh. Except for her, only Roy is heartless to join in the fun, and everyone else has lost the mood to laugh.
"The second plan." She immediately threw another thunder and once again knocked everyone dizzy. "In the future, the Phoenix Company will establish a new film production company, *Dragon Soul*. The newly established *Dragon Soul Film Production Company* will be responsible for producing and distributing high-quality movies and high-cost movies. The Phoenix Company will continue to be responsible for r-rated horror films, low-cost movies, and A movie produced by the cutting-edge collaboration plan."
Louise had no objection to her plan, but she didn't understand her name: "Dragon Soul?"
"Yes, it is the Dragon Soul." Laila's character is not a person who can explain her intentions to others, but this time, I don't know why she has the urge to speak out.
"The Phoenix is also called Phoenix. In the far east, the dragon and the phoenix are auspicious symbols. I hope these two companies can complement each other in the future and become the best film company in Hollywood!"
Louise then understood: "It turned out to be so, I see, this is a good name."
Laila smiled, concealing the strangeness rising in the bottom of her eyes.
That was only one of the explanations, and she did not reveal the other unexplainable purpose.
She was reborn in this body, with a completely Western face, Western blood, and a Western world… Many times her heart is lonely, and occasionally she sees an Asian face on the street. It will make her have a kind of subconscious intimacy.
The dragon symbolizes her original country, and everyone claims to be a descendant of the dragon. Even if she "has to" become a Westerner, she still feels that she has not lost the spirit of a dragon. So the new company was named "Dragon Soul" by her. Firstly, she represented the dragon and the phoenix, as she told Louise, and also wanted to express her unspeakable wishes and desires in another way.
And there is another reason that is not counted as the reason, and that is the word Dragon
Speaking of dragons, many people respond to dragons. However, dragon is a derogatory term in the West. It is an evil demon, fierce and cruel. The most obvious thing is that in Western fairy tales, there will always be a beautiful princess imprisoned by an evil dragon, and there will always be a handsome and brave prince who will kill the evil dragon to save the princess.
On the other hand, the dragon in the east is a god who walks clouds and rains and is a kind god who benefits one party. Since ancient times, the people have sacrificed to him in various ways to support him, and the dragon in the west is not a creature at all.
The correct translation of "Dōngfāng lóng" should be "loong." If you follow the direct transliteration, it is actually "long." In English, "long" is pronounced "wolf" instead of "dragon," so an 'o' is added between the words to become "loong," which represents the slenderness of "Dōngfāng lóng." The body, at the same time, the two o's in the middle, can also be understood as the two eyes of the dragon, which is a perfect translation.
Orientals have always said that they are descendants of dragons, and they have become descendants of evil in Western understanding. What a terrible misunderstanding, but this kind of misunderstanding is even acquiesced by many orientals themselves. But I don't know that even Bruce Lee's real name has been translated into "Lǐ Xiǎolóng", not dragon of some kind.
Laila came to this world and couldn't help but want to reverse this thought. If the company becomes the most famous company in the world under her efforts, the word Dragon(loong) will also spread across the globe along with the company's name. More people accept this translation.
If she can't do it, it's fine, but the energy she has makes it possible for her to do it, so why not give it a try? As there is a saying, dreams are still necessary. What if they are realized?
So Laila ordered the whole company to move. The improvement of the plan, the preparation of the new company, and all kinds of trivial matters require a lot of work.
Everyone took the task to get busy. Only Roy sat in the corner of the office, looking lost and wondering. What about cooperating with Cooper? Isn't it to deal with Cooper to rush back to the meeting in a hurry? It is a cooperation plan and a new company. Why on earth did they hold this meeting? Why did he stay in the office with such a cheeky?
