Mazinho quickly completed all his interview items. He was told to stay here and wait for a while. At noon, he also had a working meal in the restaurant.
Kasol Film Company has its own studio, and many crews work together, so there is also a restaurant here.
But now Mazinhuo can only eat some simple Western-style fast food with everyone. The place has just been acquired, and the Chinese chefs are not in place yet.
In the afternoon, Nick, the manager of Kasol Film Company, rushed back from outside. He temporarily took on the position of manager of a leading film and television special effects studio. After a brief exchange with several interviewers, he announced that four applicants including Mazinho had been hired.
Accepted.
There is also a computer engineer introduced by He Ying. He has passed the interview in advance, but he cannot officially join the studio until the project in hand is completed.
Because this is Hollywood, where film and television talents gather together, the number of interviewees for the other two projects is relatively large, and the next round of re-examinations will be held in a few days to determine the final candidates.
The basic framework of a leading film and television special effects studio has been formed, and some of its employees are old people from the special effects department of the original Kasol Film Company, and have now been transferred to the studio.
There are still a few places in the studio reserved for Xiangjiang Youlian. Sun Dahai is determined to develop the special effects technology of the two companies simultaneously, so future exchanges are indispensable.
Nowadays, there are many special effects technologies in the Hong Kong film industry that are better than those in Hollywood. Due to the huge disparity in investment between the two parties, Hollywood will gradually overtake them in the future. Therefore, the current exchange is a true bilateral exchange, learning from each other and mutual benefit.
Nick has been very busy recently, very busy, extremely busy.
Kasol Film Company has just completed the acquisition, personnel, equipment, and various complicated matters, which is enough for him to drink a pot. Sun Dahai also gave him more money and let him take charge of the work of a leading film and television special effects studio.
.
The boss's trust made Nick both painful and happy. Fortunately, he was experienced and young, so he managed to persevere and did not die suddenly at his job.
However, with Nick's fruitful work, Kasol Film Company and leading film and television special effects studios have gradually entered the right track.
After Kasol Film Company was acquired by Blue Ocean International, after a short period of rectification, all aspects have been completely renewed, and the reorganization of departments and personnel arrangements have been basically completed.
Only a small part of the company's original staff has been retained, and those employees who lacked enterprising spirit and were used to dawdling have left the company.
Hollywood is full of film talents, and Nick didn't make any big announcement about recruiting. He just posted a recruitment notice at the company's entrance, and the interviews were overcrowded.
Among them are many enthusiastic young people who just have dreams and hope to join the film industry. At the same time, there are also many filmmakers from all over the world who come here hoping to seek better development opportunities.
In less than a month, Kasol Film Company held two open recruitments here, with great momentum and a large number of people recruited.
This made the surrounding film companies realize that Kasol Film Company, which had changed its boss, was no longer in its previous state of being a salty fish and was about to be reborn from the ashes.
With the completion of the internal rectification of Kasol Film Company, Nick's application for funds for updating photographic equipment and upgrading studios was also approved. A large amount of funds were allocated, causing Kasol Film Company to immediately change the hardware.
Compared with those major first-tier film companies, it is no less impressive.
In order not to affect normal use, the three studios were renovated in batches, so the construction period was as long as one year. According to the plan, after the renovation, these three studios will become the top studios in the entire Hollywood area.
Of course, the cost of hardware upgrades is large investments. Blue Ocean International invested nearly US$100 million in these two upgrades alone.
Fortunately, the money was transferred in advance by the Future Investment Company, otherwise Zhu Lihua would definitely be in poverty. For Kasol Film Company, Blue Ocean International is actually just an escrow. Let Blue Ocean International invest too much manpower and funds in it.
, will affect the development of Blue Ocean International itself.
Now Blue Ocean International has established a firm foothold in the United States and its reputation has risen. The name of Blue Ocean International appears in the shareholder lists of many potential companies.
Now that the American economy has been affected by the stock market crash, most funds are on the sidelines. This is a good opportunity for Blue Ocean International to take the opportunity to expand its business scope.
Fortunately, Kasol Film Company has completed the surprise transformation after the acquisition, and Nick will take over the subsequent business development and management, so there is basically no need to trouble Blue Ocean International.
In the future, Blue Ocean International only needs to continue to hang its own, and macro management will be directly responsible for the project investment department of Xiangjiang's Future Investment Company.
Speaking of "name", the situation of the leading film and television special effects studio named by Nick is even simpler. The studio's funds are completely funded by Sun Dahai's personal account. While Nick is in charge of it, he only needs to be personally responsible to Sun Dahai.
The studio's office is located in the Kasol office building, and Nick has allocated half a floor to them. Currently, there are more than 60 people in the studio, which is quite large.
In addition, there are more than ten people sent by the Xiangjiang Friendship Association for technical exchanges. At the same time, they will also arrange for several people to go to Xiangjiang to study. Sun Dahai requested that this kind of exchange be defined as normal. In the future, if conditions permit, he will also arrange for mainland
colleagues to participate.
The half-floor office space is still very spacious for them. And the three studios after the renovation will have their own dedicated space, which will become an important work area for them to participate in real-life shooting.
The studio received new business almost at the same time as Kasol Film Company, and there is an inseparable connection between the two businesses: a film crew rented the studio and asked the studio to produce several sequences for the shots they were going to shoot.
Special effects.
To be honest, these two jobs are not big, and the total amount is only more than 300,000 US dollars. But this is not only the first business that Kasol reopened after being acquired, but it is also the opening work of the studio.
Therefore, Nick specially invited Julie to attend the studio opening ceremony.
Julie was so proud that she still took time out of her busy schedule to bring her assistant Sara to Hollywood.
Blue Ocean International's temporary office in the early stage was located in San Francisco, 600 kilometers away from Hollywood. The intercity highway system in the United States is very developed. Zhu Lihua and the others set out in the afternoon the day before, drove for six hours, and arrived in Hollywood that night.
After the Blue Ocean Garden project in Silicon Valley is completed next year, Blue Ocean International will move there to work. From Santa Clara County to Hollywood, it is more than 100 kilometers closer than San Francisco.
