Hu Shuo nodded slightly: "It's okay, there is competition to have pressure, and only then can we make better progress!"

"It seems that Hu is always full of confidence!" Wang Qi sighed.

"I have confidence in Titanic. Hu Shuo smiled.

When it came to the project "Titanic", Wang Qi looked solemn: "I really didn't expect that the first project to set up an overseas branch would be such a big project. ”

"Stressed?"

"Naturally, there is pressure! This is a project with a budget of $500 million!" Wang Qi sighed.

"Do your best, obey the destiny of God, and work hard. ”

"By the way, how is the special effects production team contacted?" asked Hu Shuo.

"I contacted the Fantasyland special effects production team, and they were interested in changing jobs, but the conditions were harsh. ”

"Fantasyland?"

Hu Shuo is relatively unfamiliar with this name.

"It seems that Hu has never heard of this company?"

"Well, let's hear it!"

"Fantasyland is a long-established animation company in the United States, with many well-known animation IPs in North America and Europe, such as Bad Luck Duck, Short-eared Rabbit ......"

However, in recent years, the animation produced by Fantasyland has been on the verge of bankruptcy, and recently his owner is trying to sell the company, but he wants to sell it as a package, so few companies are willing to take over. ”

"The special effects production team of Fantasyland is very experienced and is one of the top special effects production teams in Hollywood.

Wang Qi briefly introduced the situation of Fantasy Park.

"An established animation company on the verge of bankruptcy with a top-level special effects production team......"

After hearing these key messages, Hu Shuo's eyes couldn't help but light up.

"How much will it cost to buy their company entirely?"

Hu Shuo asked.

"Wholly owned?"

Wang Qi was taken aback, and seeing that Hu Shuo didn't seem to be asking casually, he immediately thought about it seriously and replied: "Their company's current valuation should be between 1 billion and 2 billion US dollars, after all, it is an entertainment company, so the company's valuation elasticity is relatively large, such as the value of those animation IPs under their company, this price is the opinion of the benevolent and the wise!"

Hu Shuo nodded slightly, pondered for a moment, and then asked, "When will you officially leave the Star Factory?"

"It will be fine for a week or so depending on the situation, after all, Edward has arrived. Wang Qi thought about it and replied.

"Then let's do it, after you leave the Star Factory, fly to the United States to find the owner of Fantasy Land and talk about the acquisition!" Hu Shuo said with a straight face.

"Huh?"

"Acquire Fantasyland?"

Although Hu Shuo already had this sign between his words, when he said it, Wang Qi was still very surprised.

"Mr. Hu, with all due respect, the only valuable thing in Fantasyland is their animation IP and special effects production team, however, they refused to split and sell, but packaged and sold the entire company, which is actually not suitable for the acquirer. ”

Wang Qi put forward his own opinions.

"Let's talk about it first, as long as the price is right, it doesn't matter if it's a package purchase. Hu Shuo waved his hand and added: "This is the first official task given to you by the company, I hope you can complete it successfully!"

"Okay!"

"I'll do my best!"

Seeing that Hu Shuo didn't seem to be joking, Wang Qi nodded solemnly.

Afternoon.

Hu Shuo selected ten actors who felt suitable to play the heroine Rose from the actor information provided by Zhang Ying, and then notified Zhang Ying to let them come for an interview.

Since they are all foreign actresses, the interview time is scheduled for a week later, and the interview location is the headquarters of Genesis Entertainment, and those who do not come to the interview will be deemed to have given up.

Zhang Ying's execution is still very strong, and after receiving the instructions, he directly sent email notifications one by one according to the candidates screened by Hu Shuo.

Across the ocean.

An ordinary western restaurant in Los Angeles.

The waitress "Winslet" was just scolded by a guest, and the cause of the incident was that she deserted when she ordered food and silently recited the lines in her heart.

In fact, there are only three lines, and it is a small role that she is going to interview for in the afternoon.

Thanks to Hollywood, there are countless men and women with dreams of stardom hidden in all walks of life in Los Angeles, restaurant waiters, taxi drivers, hotel security guards and even beggars begging on the street.

As a result, there are countless part-time actors like Winslet who work in restaurants, and many of them have even waited here for ten or even twenty years to wait for an opportunity.

In a slightly more upscale restaurant in Los Angeles, as long as you put on a funder posture and talk loudly about preparing for a movie, maybe a waitress will offer her business card and say that she can have a "drink" with you after work.

"Winslet, it's work time, you should forget about your goddamn star dreams!"

In the corner of the restaurant, manager Mores pointed at Winslet's nose and scolded.

"I'm sorry ......"

Winslet whispered an apology.

"You don't need to apologize to me, but to the customer who was disappointed in you!"

"No! You don't need to apologize! You're fired! That's right, you're fired! What we need is a dedicated waiter, not a dedicated actor!!"

"You can leave !!"

Mores roared roughly, and then, angrily, pointed to the door of the restaurant, because this was the third time in a week that Winslet had made a mistake, so he couldn't bear it anymore.

"I'm sorry, I'm really sorry, I promise there won't be another ......"

Winslet already had tears rolling in her eyes, because of the desertion at work, she has changed countless jobs, but she really loves acting, so as long as there is an interview opportunity, her energy will be all focused on that role, even if it is a line role, she has to recite that line hundreds of times, with several different emotions to express.

"I'm sorry too, you won't have another chance to make mistakes!"

“GO！Out！！”

Mores yelled.

Seeing this, Winslet knew that things were irreversible, she bowed weakly, walked to the locker room, and then, wiping away tears, left the dining room.

"Goodbye!"

"My big star!!"

When Winslet left, Mores didn't forget to sneer and taunt.

Hearing this, Winslet, who had already walked out of the restaurant, suddenly stopped, looked back at each other, and replied categorically: "One day, you will see me on the big screen!!"
