"If I had such an advantage, I would be able to make some achievements in Hollywood in five years rather than ten years. It may be difficult to become a big shot, but I think it will be no problem to become a small shot."
I can't envy you.
"Do you need some breakfast? I brought hash browns, waffles, brownies, waffles, and xxx coffee today!"
The eighteen or nineteen-year-old boy's voice and smile are all very infectious and full of vitality.
After confirming that they would become colleagues in the future, both of them smiled slightly and expressed their goodwill.
Raymond said: "Bring me a cup of coffee, thank you."
Vivian, "This brownie looks so delicious, I think, no one can refuse it, right? But I can only eat one piece - it's a bit high in calories, I'm trying to lose weight recently, and I bought a new skirt
, it’s a bit tight and I can’t wear it anymore. As you know, women love to be beautiful, but losing weight is too difficult!”
At the same time, Raymond looked at his watch and gave Daniel a pertinent suggestion:
"But I suggest that if you are hungry, take a few bites as soon as possible, but if you want to comfortably...eat a delicious breakfast, I'm just saying, man, you don't have enough time."
Daniel nodded, and after saying hello, he entered the conference room No. 2 where he received the notice.
But he obviously didn't take Raymond's words to heart. He glanced at the alarm clock in the conference room and muttered: "It's only twenty-four minutes. There are still six minutes left before the meeting. It's enough for me to have a satisfying breakfast!"
Don't say six minutes, three minutes is enough.
Xia Yu arrived at 8:25. She was used to not being too early, but she would not allow herself to be late either. She and Zhuang Ling came to the conference room on the second floor one after another.
, he is eating breakfast.
Seeing the two of them, Daniel was stunned and looked at the time, am·08:25.
"?"
Xia Yu said with a smile, "It seems that Raymond didn't tell you that I usually arrive at the conference room five minutes early?"
Daniel shook his head first, then realized that there was still a piece of waffle stuffed in his mouth, and hurriedly devoured it.
Zhuang Ling couldn't help but laugh after seeing it, "Don't worry, we just arrived early, it's not yet work time yet -"
Daniel finally understood Raymond's reminder, took a sip of coffee, swallowed the delicious American breakfast, and quickly sat up straight.
With a silly smile on his face, "No wonder Raymond told me that he suggested that I not eat because there was not enough time, but I didn't worry about it. I think I will pay attention next time!"
Xia Yu pointed to the boxes in front of his desk, "Do you still want to eat?"
Daniel shook his head immediately, but he didn't expect that in the blink of an eye, Xia Yu would carry several boxes of breakfast in front of the table.
She smiled and said, "If you don't eat it, then we will eat it?"
Daniel was immediately confused, then aggrieved, and looked at Xia Yu with a look of resentment.
Cute little wolfdog.
Seeing him like this, Xia Yu smiled and stopped teasing him - she definitely wouldn't eat it, it was too sweet and she couldn't swallow it.
Putting the breakfast aside, there must be someone who hasn't had time to have breakfast yet.
As expected, Ashley arrived late. She didn't go to the bankrupt sister's apartment for coffee today. She went directly to the company from home.
He looked sleepy and had heavy dark circles under his eyes.
But instead of watching "Twilight 2", she spent all day and night yesterday and had already finished it.
Now she is waiting for Xia Yu to type out the manuscript of "Twilight 3" while redrawing the storyboards of "Twilight 1" - she was filled with emotion after reading the original works of "Twilight 1" and "Twilight 2"
, very sorry and very sad, said:
"This year's time was completely wasted - the script did not show the splendor of the original work at all!"
But he was very lucky, "Fortunately, I asked Zhuang to ask, otherwise, I would have collapsed when I saw the original work after the filming was over."
In fact, it is not as exaggerated as Ashley said. Xia Yu saw the storyboards of "Twilight 1" and the painting was very good.
On this basis, Xia Yu will definitely make appropriate modifications.
Not only has she read the original work, but she has also seen the movie "Level L Parallel World".
I already know a lot of the storyboards in my mind, and it probably won’t take too long, it can be done in half a month or a month.
I decided to write the "Twilight" series in the form of original novels, one is to give Ashley a more comprehensive concept - this novel is very popular in the parallel L-level time and space and has been called a classic, but the movie has not been well received or criticized.
one.
This movie was an overnight hit, pushing the male and female protagonists to the peak of their careers, directly to the front lines of Hollywood——
It's okay in China, there are many people who like me, but in Europe and America, there are more belittling than praise.
That's too far.
The other is to use this to set off a wave of "magic era".
With Xia Yu's circle of friends, it is not an extravagant hope to promote this series of books to the world, and when this trend is at its strongest, "Twilight 1" is released, which is bound to cause a global sensation.
There are so many L-level parallel time and space, wonderful fantasy-themed movies, TV series, and novels.
But this R-rated time and space is different - fantasy novels, TV series, and movies are just the beginning.
Now chick movies are also a beginning.
A magical chick movie with a mysterious vampire theme will definitely become popular as long as it is made well.
It's just the difference between a small fire and a big fire.
Xia Yu intends to use this to push "Twilight" to a new level.
The purpose is self-evident.
She wants to rely on this series to go from being a "non-Hollywood actress" to becoming famous overnight and becoming another rising star in Hollywood!
Arrogant and bold, right?
If one series doesn't work, there are other series, one after another...
If a fast traveler can't stir up this pond, it will be a disgrace to the system at hand.
…
As soon as Ashley arrived, she saw several boxes of breakfast in front of Xia Yu's desk. She pulled it over and opened it, and her eyes lit up.
"I stayed up late working on storyboards and didn't go to bed until after three o'clock. I was driving early in the morning and almost had a traffic accident!"
Ashley complained about the day's experience,
"I haven't had time to eat breakfast yet, but I remember that Xia and Zhuang don't seem to like snacks very much. Is that so?"
But her actions and eyes all vividly depict that idiom——
The drunkard's intention is not to drink.
Zhuang Ling looked down at "Twilight 1" without looking up.
She read it very slowly, but now she holds the manuscript in her hands all the time.
As far as Xia Yu observed, she hadn't seen Zhuang Ling read exciting comics on her phone for several days.
This shows the influence of this novel.
Xia Yu pointed at Daniel opposite him with his handbill, and said with a smile, "Daniel brought you breakfast specially. Isn't it a surprise?"
When Daniel heard this, his eyes lit up, he quickly stood up, brought the prepared coffee from another table, and said naively:
“Coffee is also prepared!”
I have to say that sometimes looks do have various advantages, can be deceptive, and can be deceived voluntarily.
The same "little thought".
Putting it on Raymond's resolute and steady face, it means that he has a "slightly deep mind".
Put it on Daniel, who is handsome, handsome, and as honest as a little puppy.
The evaluation has changed.
"You little clever guy!"
Ashley pissed him off.
The time came to am·8:28.
Laura walked down from the third floor and knocked on the door of the conference room. After entering, she placed the contract printed in triplicate in front of Xia Yu.
Xia Yu recommended it to Zhuang Ling.
Then she put down the manuscript in her hand, bent her index finger, raised it to the edge of her eye socket, looked at everyone, and said:
"Now that everyone is here, let's start the meeting?"
Everyone has their own posture, how they usually look, and how they look now. Daniel sat upright, keeping his hands crossed nervously.
This is an important signing meeting related to his future!
"First of all, can you understand the contract?"
Daniel nodded, and then heard Zhuang Ling say: "You can read it over in half an hour. If you don't understand anything, you can ask our legal consultant, Ms. Laura. She is a professional lawyer, and whatever she says will be accompanied by legal liability."
, you can completely trust her!”
"Of course, what I mean is that you can also completely trust us and not dig a hole for you."
"Secondly..."
Half an hour later, Daniel read the entire contract carefully. The vagueness in his mind certainly could not support him in understanding most of the contents of the contract, and it would take legal counsel Laura to explain it bit by bit.
But half an hour later, Daniel signed the contract directly without any hesitation.
His contract is actually very similar to that of Raymond and Vivian. The only difference is the remuneration, that is, the fixed salary.
The first two earn the hourly wages of second-rate actors. After all, they have experience and acting skills and are worth the price.
Because Daniel has no acting experience, he can only get a third-rate salary - that is to say, no matter how talented you are and whether you will be popular in the next three years, the salary you can get is the same as if you are a security guard now.
As for why the signing of an ordinary actor requires so much effort, it is not simply a matter of signing a contract for Daniel - the main reason is that there are other activities today. By the way, Daniel is the fourth artist officially signed by the company after all.
Of course, as mentioned earlier, letting Raymond and Vivian experience scouting is really not what they thought.
Although Ashley is not a very big director, one film of "The Secret of the Werewolf" is enough for her to last for several years.
As long as she releases the news about filming a new movie, the actors who want to audition can be lined up from the bankrupt sisters to - hmm? Very far!
It is simply to hone their acting skills and let them deeply integrate theory and practice.
Regarding the contract issue, some people may think that ten years is too long, but there is a loophole in it that Xia Yu mentioned.
In fact, it only takes three years.
Because Xia Yu plans to finish filming the "Twilight" series within three years. After three years, if they want to, they can terminate the contract, and the termination fee will only be within a reasonable range. They can reasonably stop losses or change jobs.
But for an in-depth contract after three years of evaluation, it will be difficult for them to terminate the contract by then, and the termination fee will increase exponentially.
Xia Yu asked Legal Affairs Laura to explain these two points clearly to them, which is why they did not hesitate for too long——
For this reason, in addition to these three contracts, there are also other contracts for the recruitment of actors for the subsequent filming of the "Twilight" series.
For example, during the contract period, you can only film the "Twilight" series. Only when the filming of the "Twilight" series is over, can you take on other movies.
But there is also a time limit, five years. If the filming is not completed within five years, the contract will automatically expire.
"Welcome to the Bankrupt Sisters Film and Television Company. From now on, you are a member of the Bankrupt Sisters!" Xia Yu stretched out his hand and teased with a hint of friendliness, "I think this security uniform can be changed?"
Daniel had been so nervous for half an hour that his hands were sweating. He took out two tissues from the conference table and wiped them hard before holding Xia Yu's shiny white hand, which was probably only half the size of his palm, and said with a naive smile,
"Thank you boss!"
Zhuang Ling arranged what happened after that.
"First of all, the company is recruiting people now. We will arrange your assistant as soon as possible. The assistant's salary will be borne by the company for the first three years. After three years, you will bear it yourself. Your clothing company will be responsible, but for the styling team, you are now
, you can only use team ones.”
"Is it okay?"
If Raymond and Vivian are rated at C level in Bankrupt Sisters, then Daniel's rating can only barely reach D level.
"Secondly..."
Things were arranged and the time came to half past nine. Just in time, the truck of the moving company hired by Brian drove into the bankrupt sisters.
"Your new roommate has arrived. How about we take this time to help him clean up his new home?"
The moving company was arranged by Zhuang Ling. The two of them saw the situation in Brian's nest last night. They knew the big boy's love for his nest, the hard work of his comeback, and there was a lot of information, lyrics and music in it, so they were afraid of him.
In order to save money, I hired an unreliable moving company - when my things were lost, my good mood in the past few days was probably reduced by more than half.
When Xia Yu and others went downstairs, the moving company had already moved a dozen large and small boxes to the bottom of the equipment building. Although the equipment building looked "shabby" and the recording studio and other music equipment were not expensive, the film and television equipment on the second floor was
The equipment is still very expensive, but basically top-notch.
This batch is also a joint venture between Zhuang Ling and Tao Tang to give to the bankrupt sister film and television company, or in other words, a gift to Xia Yu. Including the security facilities of the entire building, the entire value may not be cheaper than 70 million dollars.
Already.
Therefore, there is no way for outsiders to get in. Even though Brian packed the luggage last night and packed it himself early this morning, after finishing everything, he still checked them one by one, took out a small notebook, and crossed out each check
one.
After almost twenty minutes, I breathed a sigh of relief.
Zhuang Ling called the security personnel again, and each of them moved one of them, and the move was completed in two trips.
Xia Yu went back to the staff dormitory for the first time. It was quite spacious. It was said to have two bedrooms and one living room, but it wouldn't be a big problem to have three living rooms and two bedrooms.
For the artist's personal privacy, both rooms are large, nearly thirty square meters, but the living room has only a small corner——
This made Brian breathe a big sigh of relief, because he did have a lot of personal belongings. If the room was too small and occupied the living room space, he would feel very sorry for Daniel, but this room is no smaller than the small house he rented, so let him
The child is full of security.
By the time everything was ready, it was already noon. Ashley suggested,
"Both Raymond and Vivian haven't gotten off work yet, right? Maybe, I think we should just hold the first employee party since the establishment of the company?"
Zhuang Ling glanced at Xia Yu obediently, "What do you think?"
(The preliminary preparations are almost done, the transition is almost over, and we are ready to get on the right track.)
(I'm sorry it took so long because I didn't have enough writing skills.)
