After the teams from the three companies got off the plane, they went their separate ways, each looking for special effects companies and film companies with close relationships.
Wang Shang naturally looked for digitalsquires and Paramount.
Because Wang Shang and the others are not here to learn anything particularly confidential. In view of the good cooperation in the past and the ongoing cooperation plans, the two companies are also cooperating all the way.
When Wang Shang assembled the team, he had already clearly explained the purpose of this study tour to them. The final task given to the team members was to conduct the inspection, take notes every day, and write a report when they return, and give it to Wang Shang
, if the report is well written, the salary will be increased; if the report is not well written, the salary will be deducted.
In this situation of adding, subtracting and subtracting rewards and punishments, there is no reason for these people not to be serious.
When Datang International and Beihai Film and Television saw Wang Shang's approach, they thought it was good and copied it directly, which put a lot of pressure on many team members.
"I didn't ask you to come here to travel, but to observe and learn."
However, Wang Shang and others did not stipulate what they should do, but allowed them to express themselves freely.
Under the arrangement of Paramount/Digital, some people joined some departments to observe and participate in daily work.
Some people find a unique way to chat with celebrities every day and mingle with them.
Some people hang out in bars every day, chatting with Hollywood film workers and stars.
There are all types of people, and they all use their own ideas to get the information they want.
And Wang Shang did not sit idle, but directly visited some Chinese Americans or Chinese people through domestic connections. There were celebrities, action directors, makeup artists... more than a dozen. They were found in almost every profession in film production.
They also welcomed the arrival of Wang Shang. As Chinese people with Chinese blood in their hearts, they still care about the situation at home even though they are far away in the United States. Wang Shang, a new movie star, can be said to have attracted the most attention in the past two years.
Whether it's the "Death is Coming" series or the "Fast and Furious" currently in theaters, these are movies they have been paying attention to.
The third person Wang Shang visited was a special effects artist, who was Wang Shang's main target.
This special effects artist is called Xiang Fei, a mid-level special effects artist from Industrial Light and Magic. He is a Chinese-American and is already 38 years old. At this time, Wang Shang came to their house. After eating a unique Chinese meal, Wang Shang
Shang humbly began to ask questions about the confusion he had been having.
"Have you formed a special effects team? Want to quickly improve the level of special effects?" Xiang Fei slowly smoked a cigarette.
"Yes, but the results have not been very good, so I came here specifically to ask Mr. Xiang for advice." Wang Shang opened up about his problem.
Xiang Fei took a heavy drag on his cigarette and pondered for a moment: "I do have an immature view on this issue."
Several people looked inquisitive and prepared to take notes at the same time.
"I think it's still a matter of environment and competition." Xiang Fei was probably an old smoker. He paused to take a puff after saying a few words. "In Hollywood, from the development of the 1920s to the present, it has formed
It has formed a very mature industrial chain. Its supreme position in the world makes countless people from all over the world want to join, but there are only so many positions, which has to force them to become better and use them to defeat others.
"
Wang Shang and the others were listening and thinking...
"In a small circle, no matter how much you learn, you can't learn more than in a big circle. Because a small circle is more limited than a circle. Your special effects team only has a few dozen people, and now in Hollywood
There are already tens of thousands of special effects personnel, and there are tens of thousands of backup talents, how can we compare?"
"besides……"
Xiang Fei kept talking for almost half an hour. After listening to it, Wang Shang suddenly understood: "It seems that my limitations were indeed a little smaller before. Although I invested a lot, in reality, I still have a certain vision.
Limitations. However, this matter is really difficult to handle. If the scope of training is expanded, it is easy for one's own interests to be stolen."
This visit gained a lot. After thanking Xiang Fei, Wang Shang ended his visit today because he had an appointment with Xie Tingfeng today.
"Xiaoyue, have you made a reservation?"
Secretary Xiaoyue replied: "It has been booked. There is a Chinese restaurant not far ahead. I have also made an agreement with Mr. Xie."
Soon, I saw Xie Tingfeng.
"Thank you, Brother Shang!!" Xie Tingfeng said thank you to Wang Shang as soon as they met.
"Why?"
"First of all, thank you for helping me pave the way in Hollywood, and also thank you for dragging me away from starring in "The Promise"!"
"Participated in "The Promise"?" Wang Shang was stunned. Xie Tingfeng did participate in "The Promise" in the previous time and space.
After getting to know more, I found out that when "Death Comes 1" was released, Xie Tingfeng received an invitation from director Zhang Kaige. If "Death Comes 1" hadn't become a big hit at that time, Xie Tingfeng received an invitation from a Hollywood director, otherwise he would not have
Will I agree to enter the movie "The Promise" which is said to have the largest investment? If I really get in, I will be in a big hurry.
"That can only mean you are lucky! I just pulled you in at the right time." When feeling the magic of fate, Wang Shang did not take credit.
"Okay, don't say anything, come on, do it!" Xie Tingfeng didn't say anything more and just raised his glass.
"Well, cheers!!"
After chatting for half an hour, Wang Shang also became familiar with Xie Tingfeng's situation here. He was not doing well, but he was not bad either.
While Wang Shang and the others were chatting, a slovenly drunkard broke in and wanted to get in. When he walked to Wang Shang's table, he almost bumped into the table, and then his body failed to resist.
Live, fall on the table...
Vomit... a piece of disgusting vomit was thrown onto the dishes on the table.
A sour smell hit my nose...
Wang Shang, Xie Tingfeng, the secretary, and the guests at the tables next door couldn't help but cover their noses, fearing to avoid him.
Several waiters saw the situation and came over quickly, apologizing to Wang Shang and other customers. They dragged the drunkard out. Who knew that the drunkard fell asleep or was deeply drunk. His consciousness was completely blurred, and he only waved his hands from time to time.
, I don’t know what I’m saying.
"Sir, I'm sorry, this meal doesn't count. Let's share it later as an apology." A middle-aged and fat Chinese boss ran over wiping the sweat on his forehead and apologized to Wang Shang again and again. Then he said to
The waiter said: "Take him out quickly! Then call the police!"
Seeing this situation, Wang Shang and the others were not in the mood to eat, so they thought about leaving. Wang Shang glanced at the drunkard and suddenly found that he looked familiar.
This drunkard's hair is longer than that of ordinary men, covering his face. Because of this, Wang Shang didn't see his appearance just now. Now, with the help of the waiter, his hair was pushed aside and Wang Shang saw it.
.
"Is it him? How did he become so virtuous?"
Wang Shang quickly stopped the waiter who was about to drag him outside: "Wait a minute. I'm sorry, boss, I know this person."
Wang Shang said, took out some money from his pocket and handed it to the boss: "I'm sorry, this money is to compensate for your losses."
Although Xie Tingfeng and his secretary didn't know why Wang Shang was acting like this, they still cooperated with Wang Shang and carried the drunkard to the car.
The boss didn't bother me because we both had yellow skin, so he readily agreed.
Soon, Wang Shang took the drunkard back to the villa he rented during this period.

When Robert Downey Jr. woke up, he felt a heartbreaking pain, as if his head was about to split.
After relaxing for a while, I looked around and realized that I seemed to be lying in a strange place. The crystal chandelier, exquisite decoration, gorgeous cabinets, and comfortable big bed, instead of sleeping on the street and in a trash can like before
By the side, by the kennel...
Then I looked at myself and realized that I was completely naked.
Robert Downey Jr. couldn't help but touch his lower abdomen and feel the back yard carefully...
After confirming it again, my nervous heart finally breathed a sigh of relief: "It's okay!!"
He had heard that some time ago in another state in the United States, a drunkard was sleeping unconscious on the street, and was molested by a beggar. As for how molested, in the words of the host: 'mouth to mouth, hands up and down,
His movements were gentle, for fear of waking up this male god who fell from the sky...'
After Robert Downey Jr. breathed a sigh of relief, he began to think about where this place was.
At this moment, a bald man with a figure like a giant bear walked in. His face was full of flesh and blood, which was very terrifying. I saw this man grinning at me, showing his terrifying big teeth...
At this scene, Robert Downey Jr. could be said to be frightened. He quickly tied the quilt tightly around himself and looked at this strong man in horror.
"Sir, please change your clothes..." The strong man put a pile of clothes in front of the bed and left.
"Huh~~" Robert Downey Jr. breathed a sigh of relief again, but he felt that the person just now looked familiar, as if he had seen him somewhere.
However, Robert Downey Jr. put on his clothes as quickly as possible and walked out. Outside the hall, he thought he had arrived in China. There were dozens of Oriental faces everywhere, not even a foreigner.
No.
The men and women were doing their own things, and soon they smelled a strong fragrance.
"Haha, breakfast..."
Wang Shang greeted everyone. When he saw Robert Downey Jr. who had just come out, he also greeted: "Mr. Robert, you also go brush your teeth and have breakfast together."
While brushing his teeth and washing his face, Robert Downey Jr. felt dizzy and had no idea what was going on with him.
If it were normal times, he would definitely just sit in the corner with a bottle of wine and drink. But in this strange environment now, he is not so hesitant.
While he was drinking the delicious porridge to warm his stomach, Wang Shang also sat next to him with a bowl of porridge: "Hello, Mr. Robert, my name is Wang Shang, please meet me."
"Hello, my name is Robert Downey Jr." Robert Downey Jr. replied.
"Are you their leader?" Robert Downey Jr., who had been paying attention to the surroundings for a long time, could tell that the other people looked at Wang Shang differently. It was a look of awe, which is usually only seen when subordinates look at their leaders.
This kind of look.
"I'm their boss."

PS: There is a very funny video on the Internet this month, which is called "The Most Awesome Sobering Post in History". It is a video about an alcoholic being molested by a beggar... The lines are very classic...
