Chapter 0336 - The General is in place
Chapter 0336 General is in place
Although Gu Yu can use a fully automatic holographic image production and delivery system to make movies, this thing has a fatal flaw, that is, the technology is too advanced, and everything except the script is taken care of.
Technically speaking, there is no flaw in the automatic holographic image production and delivery system, but a film always has to meet people, publicity or something, it is indispensable, and there are so many awards in the film and television industry, if you can win one or two of them, it is also the promotion of the film, and it is also good for Gu Yu to absorb the prestige value, but because of the relationship between the automatic holographic image production and delivery system, Gu Yu cannot participate at all.
From this point of view, human participation is essential. If you can gather unambitious directors, actors, screenwriters like Shamanza, sign long-term contracts with them, bring them under their banner, and then invest all kinds of resources in them, and then select some excellent ones, it shouldn't be difficult, and when they become famous, then they will be able to give Gu Yu a lot back, including the prestige that Gu Yu desires the most.
You must know that although there are more and more entertainment methods nowadays, movies have always firmly occupied the first position, and a successful movie can cause a very big sensation, and its social impact is immeasurable.
If Gu Yu wants to meddle in this industry, it can be said that he has an unparalleled advantage that is difficult for others to achieve, first of all, he is not short of money, and secondly, he is not short of technology. Having money can allow him to dig up the best talents, and he can also train newcomers at any cost, and the leading technology will allow his subordinates to produce better movie pictures than others at a relatively small cost.
The more Gu Yu thought about it, the more he felt that this matter was promising, he glanced at Shamansa, and decided to start with this blonde woman first, he had to test the water first, if the experiment could be successful in Shamansa, then he could start to establish a base in Hollywood. The biggest problem he is facing now is that there is no reliable person to operate this matter, and his stall is now getting bigger and bigger, and it is becoming more and more difficult to support the expansion of the company's business by relying on a few people such as Dad, Liu Xuepeng and Xu Xiaoqing. Gu Yu felt that it was necessary to set up a headhunting company under the head office to recruit all kinds of talents for the company all over the world without stopping.
Gu Yu edited his idea into a text message and sent it to his father, asking him to start solving the problem first, and then he raised his head and began to talk to Shamansa seriously.
Shamansa originally didn't have any expectations for impressing Gu Yu, although she didn't recognize Gu Yu at first, it didn't mean that she didn't know anything about Gu Yu's deeds. She knows very well that Gu Yu can be regarded as self-made, and this kind of person generally has one thing in common, that is, if you don't see a rabbit, you don't scatter an eagle. She didn't expect Gu Yu to invest in her films, she just hoped to find a listener, she was too depressed during this time, and she just hoped that someone could share her pain with her.
Gu Yu waved his hand to interrupt Shamansa's words, he said his opinion, he felt that Shamansa, a literary film about chocolate, could not be said to have been started, but the story was a little worse, and it was difficult to attract the audience to the theater. He is willing to invest in Shamansa, but there are several conditions, the first is to find a good screenwriter to polish the story well, and the second is to accept Gu Yu's guidance technically.
Shamansa was still a little hesitant, and Gu Yu directly quoted a budget of five million US dollars, which suddenly made Shamansa's hesitation gone. Although Shamantha is a well-known director of literary films, the investment in the films she has directed in the past is very small, the largest one is more than one million US dollars, and this time it is five million, which is the one with the largest budget she has.
With this budget, finding a good screenwriter is no longer a difficult task.
Finding the budget, Shamantha didn't want to stay in the White House for a minute, she got up and hurriedly said goodbye to Gu Yu, and then left the White House to work on her new film.
Gu Yu admired Shamansa's work attitude, and he decided to stay in country M for a few more days for Shamansa's sake.
Gu Yu stayed in the White House until the end of the banquet, but from beginning to end, except for Shamansa, no one took the initiative to come and chat with him. Gu Yu originally planned to meet a few more people at this event and expand his network, but he didn't expect the whole process to be so boring. The only thing that made him feel worthwhile was that he met Shamansa, and I hope that Shamansa can come up with dry goods and not disappoint him.
After Gu Yu left the White House, he did not go to NY again, but went to LSJ, where Hollywood is located, and asked for a business suite at the Hilton Hotel here, and then called Shamantha and asked Shamantha to come here to find him.
Later, Gu Yu called Del Ford again, told him about his new residence, and asked Del Ford to come to him for something. By the way, Gu Yu asked Del Ford what procedures he should go through if he wanted to register a company in Hollywood.
When Del Ford learned that Gu Yu was interested in entering Hollywood, his interest was so great that he put down all his work and rushed to LSJ with Thomson Jason.
Along with the two of them was a white man with gray hair, in his forties, who looked inconspicuous and could easily be ignored if he didn't pay attention.
As soon as he saw Gu Yu, Del Ford pointed to this white man and introduced Gu Yu, this person is called Regis Bot, who is a little famous in Hollywood, he once cooperated with a friend to found a film and television company in Hollywood, and did a good job, but not long ago, he encountered a friend's plot and was expelled from the company's board of directors, and the equity of the company he held in his hands was not able to hold, and was bought away at a low price.
Del Ford also knows that Gu Yu is a film and television company, especially in Hollywood, the water is even deeper, a not far away example, how many years has MGM been in business, how many excellent films have been produced, and finally it went bankrupt, SONY has been calling for wind and rain all over the world, and bought Colombia at a high price that year, but it has been operating at a loss for many years, and after thoroughly understanding the rules of Hollywood, it gradually turned losses into profits and became regular.
Gu Yu has a lot of money, but it is also compared to whom, Sony as a whole makes Gu Yu richer, not to mention that behind Sony there is a huge R national chaebol, standing R national government, but Gu Yu has no support behind him, if he wants to play the film and television company, there is no one who knows how to assist Gu Yu, it is impossible. The water is too deep in here.
After listening to Del Ford's introduction, Gu Yu looked at Regis Bot, who had no expression on his face, but said that if Gu Yu was willing to use him, he would do his best, and he would be worthy of the salary Gu Yu gave him and his work ethic, but he couldn't promise Gu Yu anything, after all, in a strict sense, he was also a person who mixed up in Hollywood but failed. What he experienced was actually a small scene, and he was afraid that he would encounter more things than this scene in the future, and he didn't know if he could survive those difficulties.
Regis Bote's words made Gu Yu look up to him, and if he could honestly say this, he was better than ordinary people. Of course, whether to use him or not, Gu Yu still has to see, at least he has to use the intermediate information processor to collect information about Regis Bot to see if this person is reliable and what his ability is.
Gu Yu excused himself to prepare something to eat and drink for them, and asked Del Ford to do whatever he wanted, while he went to the bedroom and called the front desk to ask them to bring something to eat and drink. After making the call, Gu Yu used the intermediate information processor to start collecting information from Regis Both, that is, after a few seconds, the intermediate information processor sent hundreds of thousands of information to Gu Yu.
In addition to the information collection function, the intermediate information processor actually includes a classification of information and intelligent evaluation system, its degree of artificial intelligence is still quite high, the accuracy of the evaluation of information is also quite high, Gu Yu used the intermediate information processor several times to make a judgment, almost none of them are wrong, thanks to the intelligent evaluation system of the intermediate information processor.
This time is no exception, the intermediate information processor synthesizes all kinds of information, and the assessment given by Regis Bot is quite good, people are capable, they are Christians, they have a sense of awe, and they can be used.
Gu Yu nodded with satisfaction, walked out of the bedroom with a smile, and when he came out, he had an extra bottle of red wine in his hand.
Del Ford and Thomson Jason saw the red wine in Gu Yu's hand, their eyes lit up, the two of them rushed forward and snatched the red wine from Gu Yu's hand, Del Ford skillfully went to the kitchen to find the red wine driver, and turned out a few wine glasses, and was about to pour the wine when the doorbell rang.
Thomson Jason thought it was a waiter who came to deliver the food and drinks, and went to open the door, but saw a beautiful blonde standing outside the door, and immediately stood on the spot, he had seen countless people in his life, and there were many women passing by, but for some reason, when he saw this blonde, he had a feeling of electric shock, as if he had met his own goddess.
The blonde was Shamantha, she found that it was not Gu Yu, and thought that she had gone to the wrong room, she took a step back, looked at the room number carefully, and after confirming that it was correct, she asked Thomson Jason.
Thomson Jason came back to his senses and hurriedly invited Shamantha into his room.
When Shamansa saw Gu Yu, she immediately breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly greeted Gu Yu.
Del Ford, who was pouring wine, glanced up at Shamantha and was stunned. He looked at Gu Yu, pointed at Shamansa, and asked what the relationship between Gu Yu and Shamansa was.
Subsequently, Del Ford told Gu Yu a big secret, this Shamansa is not simple, she has a great father, that is, when he was in the White House, he thought that Gu Yu was the Stephen Borg director who came to climb the relationship.
Shamantha is a woman with a very independent personality, although she has a great father, but after graduating from high school, she stopped asking for money from her family, and the college tuition is solved by her own part-time job plus scholarships, after graduating from college, she is even more on her own, without relying on Stephen Borg's help, she has always struggled by herself, Stephen Borg wanted to help her several times, but Shamantha refused.
Gu Yu raised his eyebrows, sometimes, he really had to sigh that this world is so small, going around and around, he still has this relationship with Stephen Borg's relatives, if he continues to invest in Shamantha, I am afraid that he will inevitably say hello to Stephen Borg in the future.
Gu Yu didn't have anything to resist this, did he still need to be afraid of anyone? He waved his hand, beckoned Shamansa to sit down, and asked Del Ford to take out an extra wine glass, and poured Shamansa a glass of wine.
Several people sat down at the dining table, and Gu Yu introduced several people present to each other. Although Shamantha herself was poor, she was not low in knowledge, and as long as she was willing, she could immediately live a rich life by telling his father at any time, so she did not show any awe or flattery to the two billionaires, Del Ford and Thomson Jason, but showed a strong interest in Regis Bot, and had a good conversation with Regis Bot.
This made Thomson Jason depressed, he just saw Shamantha for the first time, he fell in love with this blonde, and thought that he could find an opportunity to have an in-depth communication with Shamansa, but he didn't expect that Shamansa's interest was not in him at all.
Thomson Jason had no choice but to turn to Gu Yu and Del Ford for help, hoping that they could help him create an opportunity.
Gu Yu shook his head amusedly, although he couldn't see any husband and wife from Thomson Jason and Shamantha, but he was still willing to create a chance for Thomson Jason to come out, he said hello to Regis Bot, asked Regis Bott to follow him to another room to talk about things, and then asked Del Ford to follow him.
In this way, it means that there are only two people left at the table, Thomson Jason and Shamansa, as for whether Thomson Jason can impress Shamansa's heart, Gu Yu can't care.
Calling Regis Bot to the room, Gu Yu took out the posture of a big boss recruiting people and began to interview Regis Bote. Regis Bott knew on the way with Del Ford that this was an opportunity for him, and if he could perform well and touch Gu Yu's heart, then he might be able to cling to Gu Yu, the big boss, and live a life of prosperity without worrying about food and clothing.
Regis Bot is also an ambitious person, especially after being swept away by his partners and being proposed to his own company, he is always thinking about starting all over again, and in the future, he will trample those who have been unfair to him under his feet, and now that there is such an opportunity, he naturally wants to seize it.
Regis Bot brought out the best side of himself, introduced himself to Gu Yu, explained some of his ideas, and some understanding of the company's management.
Gu Yu didn't have any expression from beginning to end, and Del Ford also maintained a more serious expression, although he was optimistic about Regis Bot, and his relationship with Regis Bott was also good, but in the matter of whether to hire Regis Bot, he didn't want to get involved too much, after all, for him, maintaining a good relationship with Gu Yu was the most important thing, and everything else could be sidelined.
The interview lasted for nearly an hour, and Gu Yu was generally satisfied with Regis Both's performance, so after the conversation, Gu Yu stretched out his hand to Regis Both, and agreed to accept Regis Bot as a general under his command.
Regis Bot was very happy to be able to climb the towering tree of Gu Yu, which was definitely a blessing in his life.
Gu Yu said about the arrangement for Regis Bote, he will authorize Regis Bot to set up a film and television company in Hollywood, and the name of the company is good, it is called Gu Chao International Film and Television, which is responsible for the company's film and television business in Hollywood. Gu Yu asked Regis Bot to do two things well while forming the company, one is to support Shamansa, and the other is to release the movie Journey to the West.
These two things, no matter which one, need to be done well, this is also an introductory test for Regis Both, if Regis Bot does these two things well, then he is qualified, and he can sit firmly in the position of general manager of Guchao International Film and Television, if he does not do well, the position of general manager must have nothing to do with him.
Regis Bot suddenly ignited a raging war, and he said that he would definitely live up to Gu Yu's trust in him and do all these things beautifully.
Gu Yu talked about his idea of supporting Shamantha, and then talked about the movie Journey to the West.
For Shamansa's support, Regis Bot didn't say anything for a while, he personally didn't approve of supporting Shamansa, after all, Shamantha is a well-known axis in Hollywood, obviously very talented, but he has to go to the fire pit on the path of literary films, but this is the boss's decision, he can't say anything, he can only obey.
For the movie Journey to the West, Regis Bot had seen the trailer before, and he was amazed by the information revealed in the trailer, at this time, he became Gu Yu's subordinate, and he was naturally able to see the complete version of the Journey to the West. When he looked at it from the beginning, his mouth grew so long that he couldn't close it for half a day, and if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn't have imagined that today's technical conditions could shoot to such an extent.
