Dominating Hollywood: Starting with Scarlett

Chapter 70 Reasonable Guess
  "Why! Why can they gain favor!" Maroney was furious and incompetent in his office.

Opposite him stood the two "players" who had been KO'd in the Friendly Boxing Cup in the conference room, Phoebe and Torion.

The two men are still angry that they didn't go head-to-head with Supreme Creative in an advertising campaign.

"If it weren't for their dirty tricks, the tobacco company's advertising would have belonged to us!" Phoebe firmly believed that her creativity was impeccable.

Torion also nodded in agreement: "Yes, the Supreme Creativity deliberately angered us and then used this despicable trick to send us away."

The two chattered about their dissatisfaction, but Maroni felt like he was surrounded by two flies: "Okay!"

Phoebe and Torion immediately shut up.

Maroni frowned: "I don't care if Supreme Creativity used a dirty trick, I just know that we missed a huge opportunity! Phoebe, your bonus this month is cancelled, Torion, your bonus is halved!"

The two of them suddenly felt a pain in their hearts.

"But this is not the end! We will definitely have a chance to encounter them in the future!" Maroni put his hands on the table angrily and stared at them: "If next time, you guys are like this time, Just get out of here! Do you understand?"

"Understood! Don't worry!" Phoebe and Torion nodded hurriedly, and then left the office at Maroni's signal.

Maroney sighed, sat in a chair and thought for a moment, then picked up his phone and called the contact named Figgs.

  In the IPG conference room, creative director Sigg's face was as gloomy as the plaster on a tire covered by a mud puddle, with no trace of blood at all.

Across from him sat Figgers and the heads of advertising departments from various industries.

Ross, who was in charge of food, and Gilmer, who was in charge of tobacco, were also on this list. The only difference was that the expression on Ross's face was much more relaxed than before, while Gilmer was sweating profusely and pinching his fingers under the table until they turned blue. .

"Tell me about it, Rose..." When the silence reached an all-out level, Sigg finally spoke, but his voice was slightly hoarse.

Because he was already very angry during the whole meeting just now.

And Gilmer's department, like Rose, had its year-end bonus cut in half.

That's why Rose gloats.

"Sorry, director, my strategy was wrong. I thought that Supreme Creative had never been in the tobacco industry, so they shouldn't..."

"I thought! It shouldn't be! Do you know how much money we have lost! Hundreds of thousands of dollars! The three projects combined, millions of dollars! Do you have this amount of annual salary! If Supreme Creative continues like this, we will You're not giving up all the projects to others! FXXK! YOU! YOU!" Sigg pointed at two people: "The board of directors has given the final order. If you lose another project, resign immediately! Get out!"

He couldn't help but cough a few times at the end. Watching the most creative advertisements on TV these days, he was really on pins and needles, with a lump in his throat!
  If this continues, he will no longer be able to keep his position. In fact, if it weren't for the support of the board members behind him, he would have resigned and apologized.

Damn it! Where did the supreme idea come from? Why do you always compete with IPG for projects?

Thinking of this, he turned to look at Figes and asked, "So how are you doing with the things I arranged for you?"

Figgus looked at Sigg with some embarrassment: "The staff of Supreme Creative is too simple. Except for the founders Tang De and Jimmy, there is only a bunch of customer service, which has no value at all."

"I heard that they were conducting interviews recently, so I asked someone to pretend to be an interviewer and went to check out their company, but unfortunately they were interviewing on the first floor and there was nothing there."

"Listen, I don't care! Figs, I just want the results! Whether it's Jimmy or the customer service, as long as they can provide us with information! Just do it, understand?" Sigg tapped his fingers on the table. It almost pokes a hole in the table.

Figgus nodded: "But we are not without progress. Gilmer contacted Tang De and Jimmy's old employer, Lion Advertising. Maroney, the manager of this company, has already informed Tang De and the two of them. Here I am, look."

He handed over a piece of information, and Sigg took it to check, only to find that the information on it was very brief.

There are only two people who have worked as lighting technicians on the set, and Tang De has a close relationship with the CEO of Heinz Group. Other than that, there is no information worth paying attention to.

"How is that possible! Fergus, so the result of your investigation is that the two of them started from scratch, relied on their creativity to get investment from the Heinz Group, and then in just a few months became the hottest advertising creative company in New York?"

Sig had a look on his face that said, "Do you know what the hell you're talking about?"

But Figes replied helplessly: "At least that's the case based on the information in front of me."

"No, no, no, absolutely not!" Sigg shook his head, suddenly thought of something, and said: "Hengmei! FXXK! It's definitely them!"

"What do you mean?" Several others were stunned.

Sigg explained as if enlightened: "Hengmei has always been eyeing the New York market. Their business overlaps with ours, but they have never competed with us. So they supported Supreme Creative just to defeat us."

"How is this possible? If Supreme Creative can get such a good idea, why don't they use it themselves?" Figes was puzzled.

"You don't know! Hengmei is now fighting in the nest! Their two presidents have been tit for tat, and maybe who will be the first to be eliminated! So they have been desperately looking for performance to prove their concept, but look at it! This time the tobacco advertisement They didn’t send the best team, just a few new people!”

Sigg sneered: "What's the reason for this? It must be because a certain president knew that it was impossible to compete with the supreme creativity, so he just pretended!"

Gilmer frowned and continued: "You mean, Supreme Creative was supported and invested by one of the presidents?"

"That's right!"

"If this is the case, then when Supreme Creative becomes famous and Hengmei takes advantage of the trend to acquire it, wouldn't that president be able to rely on this performance to directly control Hengmei and join Omnikon's management?"

Sigg clapped his hands: "That's it! Because Hengmei's internal environment was very poor during this period, the president might be afraid that someone would poach him and take away his credit. So he established Supreme Creative under the guise of Tang De and Jimmy, but There must be real talent behind them!”

"No wonder I lost!" Gilmer suddenly realized and suddenly felt reasonable.

Ross was the only one with a confused look on his face, so what does it mean to him, the city is on fire and the fish in the pond is affected? Hengmei does not have any experience in the food industry.

But no matter what, this reason is at least enough to explain to the superiors!
  No one knows what Sigg really thinks, and no one knows whether he really agrees with his guess. Everyone only knew that he went to the board of directors after the meeting. When he came down, the trouble on his face had been replaced by a warm smile.

It seems that he has regained his shaky position.

At the same time, at CAA, Tang De met Karl again in the restaurant.

He brings good news to Tang De!
