If you are not stupid and have a lot of money, why would you take over Feitu Film and Television Company in this cold winter of film and television?
What's going on with Hollywood film and television companies?
If it can avoid losing money, keep its assets, and get out of the business, it will be considered a "successful" film and television company.
Most of the rest is wasted money and lost money. Many small and medium-sized film and television companies are also helpless, and their funds are tied up.
If you don't continue, all the money you spent earlier will be wasted. In fact, if you continue to spend and wait, it will most likely be in vain.
If you look in some remote corners of the city center, you might find among the homeless people you find, you might find a few CEOs of once-famous film and television agency companies. There is no other way, they are bankrupt, they owe a lot of debt, and they are unable to recover.
If you count on it, you can only do it badly.
In Hollywood, for ordinary artists, or those outside the 18th tier, they basically only recognize a few awards from the United States, including the three major European awards. But unless an actor or director from his own country wins the award, other countries will
Especially the yellow people, they can't tell the difference at all.
There is no one like Daniel who recognizes Xia Yu. He is considered a little weirdo?
"Five actors, one has-been and unpopular singer..." These are the members who were left behind by the previous company and have not left.
As for the financial aspect, Gan has been the financial officer of Xia Yu Studio for the past year, and he comes here once or twice a month.
Ashley introduced them one by one, and Xia Yu only took a look at them.
As for how to deal with it... No, let's arrange them, let's talk about it later.
Actors should make arrangements based on their performance experience and personal suitability. Singers should listen to their voices and then look at the arrangements.
After saying hello, Xia Yu followed Ashley and Zhuang Ling to the fifth floor——
As for the third and fourth floors, one is a conference room and the other is a mid-level office. Of course, the current Feitu Film and Television Company is more like a shell company and a pauper. Apart from these people, there is nothing.
Different from the complicated arrangement on the second floor, the third floor is much simpler. There is a tea room, a utility room, and six offices, four of which are marked with names - they are all made of glass, and if the curtains are not drawn, you can see them all at a glance.
The style of each office is similar, light industrial style - the first one is Zhuang Ling's. In addition to the hard decoration, the soft decoration is also completely cold and cold. Xia Yu can only say that it doesn't match her nature at all.
superior.
But this must not be said. She has no special hobbies that disdain her longevity.
Ashley introduced the second office, Mengdong, "This will be our logistics manager's office from now on..."
Hearing this, Meng Dong was stunned for a moment and looked at Xia Yu with a confused look on his face - you didn't tell me?
Xia Yu patted Meng Dong on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Manager Meng, this is your office."
"Is that so?" Meng Dong was a little panicked and took two steps back, in disbelief.
"Meng Meng, you have been with Sister Tang for several years. Your work ability is obvious to both me and Sister Tang. You won't tell me that you don't have the confidence, right? Could it be that - as you said, by my side, you will just be an assistant all the time?
Or a stylist?”
Xia Yu smiled slightly, "Sister Tang is no longer around. From now on, we can only rely on ourselves for matters here..."
Meng Dong was left stunned in place.
Xia Yu motioned to Ashley to move forward.
Bypassing Ashley's own office, she finally opened the innermost and largest office on the fifth floor.
"This is the office of the boss of our [Feitu Film and Television Company]."
But as she chewed on the company name, Ashley still felt something was wrong.
"That old guy didn't leave us a thing. We still use his name as a company. Every time I introduce it to people, I feel as uncomfortable as eating shit. It's been a year, boss, have you decided what name you want to change?
"
"And our company's start-up resources need to be in place quickly, otherwise our company will face a bankruptcy crisis."
Ashley looked melancholy, but she was not discouraged at all. When faced with the several scripts sent by Xia Yu, she was full of confidence. However, because Xia Yu had not arrived, the funds from Xia Yu's studio had not been injected into Fei's work.
Picture Film and Television Company.
The current situation of the company is that she can run around and support these people, but the preparation for project establishment is far from satisfactory.
What should it be called?
Xia Yu also thought about this question for a long time.
Xia Yu: "I originally thought about Modern Times, Friends, Gossip Girl—"
Then she smiled, "But you reminded me, I think the bankrupt sisters are good, what do you think?"
After the filming of "Trafficking Crime" ended, Xia Yu spent most of his time thinking about the follow-up arrangements for his development in the beautiful country.
This R-rated literary world is different from many literary worlds, and there is still a lot of room for improvement.
There are several parallel worlds where the level of entertainment development is similar to this world, but in the film and television industry, a hundred flowers are blooming - Xia Yu went to experience it specially and watched a lot of works from the other two L-level literary worlds.
She was attracted by one of them, the European and American dramas and movies that created the literary world of the "Twilight" series of movies.
Especially these sitcoms, these sitcoms are indispensable to her ability to get out of the haze of "Trafficking" so quickly——
These are things that the current R-level literary and art world does not have. If there were no achievement mission restrictions and no mission restrictions for the recovery system, Xia Yu felt that it would be very interesting to cheat and create an alternative "entertainment world".
The resources of these two cultural worlds are also the capital for Xia Yu to gain a foothold in Hollywood and expand step by step.
If Xia Yu wants to be recognized, it is impossible for Xia Yu to shoot a Chinese-themed movie in the beautiful country.
What's the saying?
"Fight magic with magic".
Use the resources of the two L-level cultural worlds to penetrate and expand their influence one by one - to create new opportunities in this cold winter of film and television.
Otherwise, you have to follow conventional routines and reach Gu Zhao's status, which an actor cannot achieve in twenty or thirty years.
I've gone too far.
"Bankrupt sisters?" Zhuang Ling raised her eyebrows - she is not a superstitious person, interesting souls are her life creed.
"Broke girls?" Ashley frowned, with a look of disbelief on her face, "Don't you have a word for 'unlucky' in your Chinese culture? Don't you think this name is a bit nonsense? A bit unlucky?"
"Zhuang?" She turned around and saw Zhuang Ling looking appreciative, which made Ashley doubt herself.
Is this a good name?
But after all, Xia Yu is the boss of this company, and compared to that old bastard "Feitu".
She felt——
It doesn’t seem impossible?
Zhuang Ling curled her lips, "Don't you think this is interesting?"
Xia Yu smiled, "It's settled then. Early tomorrow morning, we'll go to the relevant departments to change the company name."
Zhuang Ling: "Have you brought all your documents?"
Xia Yu nodded.
Ashley's acceptance speed was quite fast, and Xia Yu just arrived today, so there was no reason to talk about work that day. She immediately suggested, "For the arrival of our boss and the establishment of Broke Girls, let's go to the newly opened old friend's house
Go celebrate?"
Xia Yu: "Bar?"
Zhuang Ling and Ashley, the bad friends, looked at each other and smiled. Zhuang Ling said nothing, maintaining a sense of "mystery."
Ashley shook her head regretfully, "I know you don't like the bar environment, so we specially picked a music bar this time, what? This is the biggest concession for both of us, you won't refuse us, right? That's okay
It’s so disappointing.”
Xia Yu knew he couldn't hide, so he could only shrug and pick up the little guy who was still sleeping soundly in the flight box - "You have to solve our accommodation problem first, right? Of course, if the music bar allows pets
, I have no objection to setting off now."
Ashley laughed, "This little cutie can go with us, but there is no need to bring this bulky flight case."
"Let's go and show you your and Meng's new home."
Xia Yu did not choose to live with Zhuang Ling or Ashley. The two of them were used to being alone. They were fine for a few days, but they would definitely become irritated as time went by - these two were like two lionesses, not wanting others to step on them for a long time.
's territory.
Of course, although this metaphor is appropriate, Xia Yu was not stupid enough to say it clearly.
She didn't even agree to Wen Sui's arrangement. Her family owned properties in several wealthy areas of Los Angeles - but Xia Yu thought it was too troublesome.
She is here for work, not for vacation. As for the accommodation, it is more important as long as it is safe.
Ashley said, "In the past year, we hired a professional team to build a complete anti-theft, security, and alarm system in the entire office building. The security of this office building is no worse than that in wealthy areas."
At the same time, they also spent a lot of money to equip the security personnel with guns, and also drew up a contract with the security personnel. The most important thing is that as long as the contract expires successfully, as long as they can work diligently, they will be awarded the contract period based on their work evaluation.
All the work in the house was paid up to twice as much. It cost a lot of money, but Tao Tang's purpose was very clear. Xia Yu's safety was the most important.
"Each floor above the fifth floor has an independent security system, so there is no need to worry about safety issues."
Zhuang Ling also nodded, quite agreeing with Tao Tang's 'nanny-style arrangement'——
"Unless there is an explosive incident, ordinary manpower cannot rush in."
Of course, Los Angeles at this time is actually... quite safe, and shooting cases are just an exception.
As for the reason for such an inconvenience, the main reason is that both Xia Yu and Meng Dong live in the company——
The sixth floor of the company.
A garden-style penthouse suite.
It's really not too refined. It's also in a light industrial style, a little gray.
But Xia Yu always likes comfort and a small garden - the only disadvantage is that it is only six stories high. What is comforting is that the nearby houses are all two, three, three or four stories high, and more than six stories.
, all tens of meters or hundreds of meters away.
Don't worry too much about privacy issues.
Zhuang Ling was full of admiration, "This is a masterpiece that Tao Tang made at the end of last year and five or six times in the first half of this year."
It can be said that although Tao Tang did not come with Xia Yu, she had already arranged everything for Xia Yu's basic life.
At this moment, Xia Yu almost couldn't help but want to call Tao Tang - how long had it been before he missed her?
Although it should be dawn in the country, Xia Yu thought about it and decided to forget it, fearing that she couldn't help but say, "Sister Tang, can you come over and help me for a few more years?"
She thought to herself, 'It's time for a twenty-six or seven-year-old girl to grow up, right?'
Living room, kitchen, study room, movie room, small bar, everything is available - there is also Yuanbao's small villa.
Meng Dong's eyes were red when he saw it - he entered the room and put the family photos on the bedside table and study desk.
Xia Yu put away the small luggage, put the ingot out, and started to sort it out again. It was almost done.
I sent a message to friends like Tao Tang, saying that I had arrived successfully, and called Zhuang He and his wife, and Yu Heng and his wife——
As for "Xia Yi and his wife", Wen Sui hung up immediately and made a video call instead.
I saw that the two of them were sleepy early in the morning and were eating breakfast prepared by their aunt in the restaurant at home;
Waiting for Xia Yu to finish his work, it will be about three o'clock in the afternoon.
Zhuang Ling is still studying "comics" diligently, while Ashley has fallen asleep on the sofa in the living room.
Zhuang Ling didn't even raise his head, "This guy has been under a lot of pressure recently. He went to the bar to relax until three or four o'clock last night, right?"
Xia Yu, "How did you know?"
Zhuang Ling: "I proposed to go -"
Xia Yu: "..."
The fox friends and dog friends are real.
…
That night, Xia Yu finally witnessed with his own eyes how powerful this pair of "husbands and dogs" were.
One or two of them, who were originally serious people, stopped being serious when they mentioned they wanted to drink.
The first thing is the clothes. Zhuang Ling dressed up with the word "cool and handsome", while Ashley was the "extreme royal sister". Xia Yu was speechless when he saw it, and asked in his soul, "Ahem, sisters, are you?"
Are you planning to pick up the slack for us, or are you here to pick up girls?"
Although Meng Dong knew about Xia Yu's "astonishing remarks", he was still choked by such a direct question.
Zhuang Ling was still pretending. In Ashley's words, "This guy is the best at pretending. Don't look like he's abstinent——"
If Zhuang Ling hadn't glared at her, he might have said some shocking words.
But she put her arms around Xia Yu's waist and said cheerfully, "First of all, I want to make a name for myself. I swear on the script, we are here to help you get married, but it doesn't seem to stop us from picking up a girl, right?"
The two people opposite were almost forty, and their mentality was similar to that of a young man in his teens or twenties. Xia Yu didn't know whether it was a blessing or a curse for the little girl's "partner". With their attitude, Xia Yu felt that at least
While I am chasing Oscars in this beautiful country, my life and work will probably not be too boring.
The music bar is called "Old Friend", a Western music bar with a petty bourgeois atmosphere.
I have to say that because of the discounts for the new opening and the connections, there were quite a lot of people coming and going. Fortunately, Xia Yu and others came earlier and there were parking spaces - otherwise they would have to park far away.
.
"Old Friends" opened in a bar street. What was it called locally? Xia Yu had no idea. Her idea was this - isn't it just a bar street? The sky had just darkened, and the streets were already filled with people voting one after another.
People.
The bar culture in the beautiful country is much richer than that in China. Even if a street is opened, there are still batches of people queuing up.
Xia Yu and his party were sitting by the window of the music bar, and could just see this scene clearly.
Although Ashley was a little flirty before going out, she is considered a well-known "little director" after all, and it is impossible for her to continue to be as flashy as before - this meal really gave Xia Yu a break from the dust.
.
Mainly because work is about to officially start the next day, these two "like-minded" friends have finally restrained themselves a little?
However, this was Xia Yu's reflection while eating. After finishing the meal, the "sisters" returned to their old ways.
After sending Xia Yu and Meng Dong back to the company dormitory, they went to another bar to play.
In response, Xia Yu could only roll his eyes secretly, "Don't be late tomorrow. Whoever is late will have his or her salary deducted."
…

Is there any monthly pass in the middle of the month? Just asking~
