Shion's counterattack against the little Murdoch was direct but effective.
At first, Shion wanted to make things clear with the other party, but the other party turned hostile.
In Shion's words, the other party pointed at her nose and said that these things had been arranged for her and she should just do as she was told.
Of course, seeing Shion's distorted expression, Nanaya felt that there must be a lot of subjective imagination involved.
But the main situation should not be too different, otherwise Shion wouldn't be resentful until now.
Anyway, after the talks between the two sides broke down, Shion immediately fought back.
You can do it on the first day, but I can't do it on the fifteenth?
"He probably thought I was just an ordinary international student, and that I had no power and was easy to bully."
The tone of voice in Shion's voice when she said this made Nanaya feel cold all over.
However, Nanaya could imagine that with Shion's stubborn temper, she would never let it go after being bullied like this.
You know, every time in bed she is...
Cough cough.
In short, Shion did not choose to confront the strong senior, but took the initiative to invite her teacher to participate in a project after her teacher completed a project.
Professors of management have the habit of doing projects for companies, which is beneficial to the school, companies and professors.
After all, it is large companies that invite these well-known professors, and this can be considered a way to increase the visibility of the professors and the schools.
Moreover, big companies are very generous and offer much more than the professor's salary.
Helping these companies will also allow professors to improve their theories in practice.
It is not a disadvantage for the company either. After all, these people are world-class scholars. Asking them for help is naturally much better than simply relying on one's own efforts.
Shion seized this opportunity and directly brought her mentor into the management project of Washimine Group.
Since it was his own company, Shion, as the half-head of the family (Shion had not yet taken the position at that time), naturally had to follow up the project throughout.
As for those annoying tasks, Shion simply left them alone.
No, it's not that we just abandon it.
Instead, Shion returned it to Senior Murdoch in front of her mentor, and it was only half done.
In Shion's words at the time, "These contents were all done by Murdoch-senpai and I. He should be able to complete them alone."
Young Murdoch really didn't dare to refute, after all, many of these tasks were indeed assignments given to him by his teachers.
If he dared to say in front of the old professor that it had nothing to do with him, he would be punished more than just being scolded.
This mentor was chosen by his father. If he dares to say "no", will he still be alive when the news gets to his old man?
Do you still want to inherit the property worth hundreds of millions?
According to Shion, the little Murdoch was so angry that he was shaking all over, but he couldn't say anything.
After all, in the eyes of the old professor, since it was completed together before, there would naturally be no problem in handing it over to Murdoch Jr. alone.
At worst, you can just give me a longer time limit.
Compared to these things that have long been boring, the professor is obviously more interested in Washimine, a century-old company but a world-leading gaming company.
As a result, little Murdoch was naturally in a very embarrassing situation after being treated like this by Shion.
What's worse is that this guy is still working and studying part-time.
In addition to completing academic tasks, I also have to make sure nothing goes wrong at work.
The end result was that Shion and the old professor successfully completed Washimine's corporate management project and completed their studies at the same time.
As for the little Murdoch, he used all his strength to get everything done.
Also, this guy's identity as Murdoch's son is somewhat useful, as he has someone to help him at work.
Otherwise, this guy will definitely become a laughing stock again after his company was acquired by his father.
But at the same time, a feud was formed between Shion and that little Murdoch.
From the initial dislike for each other, to mutual disgust, and finally to the end of becoming enemies.
In addition, there have been various direct business frictions with Fox during this period.
It can be said that the current grudge between Shion and Murdoch is no longer just a personal grudge.
[Could it be that this woman has been targeting Fox for a long time? ]
Nanaya glanced at Shion secretly, feeling that his thoughts were very likely to be true.
"What are you thinking about?"
Seeing Nanaya's eyes rolling around, Shion immediately narrowed her eyes.
"Nothing, Queen Mother Shion, you are so majestic."
Pop.
Nanaya's head was hit by Shion with a folding fan.
"Stop talking nonsense and think of a way to get rid of Avatar."
"I can't get rid of it, sister."
Nanaya shook his head: "Before, whether it was "Fantastic Four" or "X-Men 3", the quality of the movies themselves was not up to standard."
Seeing that Shion wanted to refute something, Nanaya interrupted her cleanly.
"But Avatar is different. This movie is not a monster of the same order of magnitude as other movies. Unless..."
"Unless what?"
Shion sat up straight, wanting to listen to Nanaya's advice.
"Unless Fox voluntarily abandons the film."
"I'm afraid that's a no-go." Shion shook her head. "I know what that little bastard is thinking. He won't let go that easily."
"What if it's a funding issue?"
Nanaya tapped his chin and said slowly, "What if 20th Century Fox is short of funds and has to give up on Avatar?"
James Cameron is a big spender. If he can find a way to make Fox short of funds, then they will have no choice but to keep the project.
"But I've seen Fox's recent projects, and most of them are small projects that are sure to make money."
Shion thought about it and made a helpless gesture.
"Then there's nothing we can do." Nanaya touched Shion's head and comforted her, "Forget it, the outcome of our battle with 20th Century Fox is not urgent, let's talk about it later."
Although Fox was very successful when "Avatar" reached the top, it did not bring much change to the overall development of Fox.
Because although Fox obtained the copyright of "Avatar" through film distribution, what is the real money-making factor of "Avatar"?
It's a patent.
Those patents for movie 3D technology.
Don't underestimate those things. You should know that all Hollywood blockbusters after "Avatar" will use 3D technology.
In other words, every movie in 3D format has to pay a portion of the fee to the patent holder.
However, Fox cannot get this money because the patent is not signed by Fox, but by Cameron and Sony.
Fox seems to have got a hit, but in fact it is picking up sesame seeds and losing watermelons.
In addition, as far as Nanaya knows, 20th Century Fox will face a series of business strategy failures after entering 2015.
The failure of a single project doesn't mean anything, but a series of failures can be very devastating.
Most importantly, News Corporation has also encountered a series of troubles due to the scandal.
It was all these factors that came together to lead to News Corporation selling Fox.
During this period, Washimine only needs to work hard to strengthen himself and ensure that he can become a force that cannot be ignored in Hollywood.
Then when News Corporation sells Fox, Washimine might be able to take over the film company.
"In short, we at Washimine are still very weak, and the other side is also very cautious."
Nanaya stroked Shion's green hair and said softly, "Now is the time for us to hide our strength and bide our time. There is no need to hold on to each other because of a little dispute."
"Hmm…"
Nanaya's words seemed to move Shion, and she nodded helplessly.
But then, Shion seemed to suddenly think of something.
"Who told you to pat me on the head and kill me?! Do you think I'm a 3-year-old kid?!"
"Please spare my life~~~"
————————————————
Although Nanaya persuaded Shion not to pay attention to Fox for the time being, Shion did not seem to intend to give up.
She knew Murdoch Jr.'s character very well and knew that he would never let her go.
So instead of waiting until the last minute to fight passively, it is better to take the initiative.
However, Nanaya couldn't help with these things. He probably wasn't as good at business as an undergraduate in business administration.
All Nanaya needs to do is make sure he makes a good movie.
A few days after Nanaya returned to Japan, he finally began the real preparations for the "Madoka Magica" project.
The first thing Nanaya needs to find is the actors of the Goshiki Sentai. Although "Madoka Magica" is a work that wins by its story, the characters in it are also very important.
If the characters cannot resonate with the audience, then the few unexpected twists in the movie will not be able to touch the audience.
In order to ensure that the story could be rated high enough, Nanaya raised the age of the original five members of "Madoka Magica" from junior high school to high school.
Anyway, as for the worries of adolescent girls, the difference between junior high school and high school is not particularly big.
More importantly, if it's a junior high school girl, then adult actors won't be able to play the role at all, and it would be very troublesome if a child actor played the role.
So Nanaya simply set the age of the magical girl in her work "Madoka Magica" at 17, an age when girls are sentimental.
Like other movies, Nanaya, who likes to take care of his own people, definitely chooses his own girls as his first choice.
In addition to Luvia, who is yet to be confirmed to play the role of the headless senior, Nanaya will need at least four more candidates.
"So, are these kids taking their acting classes?"
Nanaya looked at the girls in front of him and asked Akimoto Yasushi.
"I have made arrangements, but I don't think the effect will be very good."
Akimoto Yasushi was a little distressed because because of Nanaya, the Trier idol group needed to take an extra acting class in addition to singing and dancing.
Nanaya had no intention of training these girls to become movie queens, but he hoped that they could at least handle the most basic commercial films.
At the very least, Nanaya's requirement is that he cannot have an expressionless face in front of the camera all the time.
"Well, Director Kiryu..."
Akimoto Yasushi reminded in a somewhat flattering manner.
"I know."
Nanaya nodded.
I have mentioned before that AKB members will make cameo appearances in the Seven Nights movie.
Anyway, this movie tells the story of high school girls, so it's completely OK for some young girls like AKB to serve as background panels.
After all, Fatty Aki took good care of the girls during this tour, so he should be given some sweet reward.
