On the day of the opening of Xichu American Branch, Yi Yunfei followed the Chinese tradition, invited a lion dance team, set off a firecracker at the gate, cut the ribbon, and the momentum was still quite huge, which caused a lot of onlookers on this street where international film companies gathered, but most of the spectators were holding the mentality of watching jokes. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Although there have been all kinds of strange companies over the years, it is the first time that Chinese people have come here to open a film company, and many Hollywood insiders regard this incident as a strange thing, so although "Xichu" has not yet started shooting in Hollywood, it has some fame, but this kind of fame is not a good thing.

Almost everyone thinks that this will be a short-lived company, even if the recruitment notice posted outside is very tempting, but there is still no real talent to come to this little-known company, even if the Americans who come in to work, they also have a mentality that can mix day by day, of course, they will not be passive and slack off, but because they are not optimistic about this company, they have no sense of belonging and security......... There is also a lack of enthusiasm for work, just for the sake of a decent salary.

Because of the opening ceremony of Huaxiafeng, there were even websites that reported on this incident, so "Xichu" was rumored to be an interesting story in Hollywood for a while, so that many American employees were even embarrassed to say that they worked in "Xichu".

Cheng Xiaoyu naturally had no time to pay attention to such a report, and the next afternoon called the first formal company and crew meeting, in addition to the company's current more than 40 employees and foremen, there are more than a dozen main actors, lawyers and accountants, lawyers and accountants are indispensable for any crew in Hollywood.

All contracts and disputes of the crew will be handed over to the lawyer, and the crew's salary and capital expenditure are also outsourced to an accounting firm, which reduces a lot of management burden and saves a lot of time for Cheng Xiaoyu and Yi Yunfei.

There were more than 20 Chinese employees attending the meeting, and the employees of Huaxia Xichu who came to the United States were selected to speak English as much as possible, while more than 10 employees recruited in the United States, assistant director David Gill, makeup artists, props masters, set designers, lighting engineers and other behind-the-scenes professionals recruited through the guild were all present, only the actors were not present today.

Cheng Xiaoyu didn't say much nonsense, he simply asked everyone to introduce themselves, and after a circle, the speech returned to his position, he said in English: "Except for the actors who didn't arrive today, basically the crew members who should have arrived have arrived, if nothing else, our drama will officially start filming the day after tomorrow........ The following is the script and shooting plan........

When the shooting plan was issued, there was nothing at first, and when it reached the middle, it immediately caused an uproar, because everyone found something incomprehensible........

This is a four-month-long shooting schedule, which is considered a short but common time in Hollywood film shooting, and there is nothing unusual about it, and the surprising thing is that this shooting plan is a plan for two films to be shot consecutively....... There isn't even a gap in between.......

Huaxia employees looked at the two shooting plans in China and English, although they felt a little unreasonable, but thinking of the miracle that Cheng Xiaoyu had created so far, they felt that there was nothing to ...... But the American employees are talking to each other........ I feel that the boss is too willful, and the first film has not yet been made, so I plan to shoot two movies at once, the key is that there are only four months, and all of them are scripts written by him........ This can't be called incredible.......

So much so that many American employees bow their heads to hide that they want to look at their young bosses with a mentality of looking at fools or wrongdoers.......

Yi Yunfei was also a little surprised, he turned his head and asked, "Shoot the two together?" Are they all horror movies? ”

Cheng Xiaoyu nodded....... This discussion exploded and made two horror movies at a time........ What a brain-dead act.

David. Jill saw Cheng Xiaoyu's shooting plan, and he couldn't laugh or cry, he felt that Cheng Xiaoyu was simply arrogant to the point of unreasonableness, and this kind of film creation was also disrespectful to the career he loved, he put the detailed "shooting plan" on the table very seriously and said: "Director Cheng....... I shouldn't have jumped out and pointed fingers, but I think this kind of shooting plan is really unreasonable........ It's a joke that four months is already a rush to finish a movie, and you're still shooting two films at the same time....... Can I watch a movie shot in this case? At least you're done with a movie, try to release it, and decide if you want to make the next one, right? ”

David. Jile's words are also thinking about Cheng Xiaoyu and "Xichu", but Cheng Xiaoyu just wants to quickly open up his fame and earn more money, so he has to pursue speed....... For him, time is money, and the horror films he chooses are all entertainment films, and he doesn't need to polish the performance and content, so he feels that there is no problem with time.......

Cheng Xiaoyu smiled and said: "This plan will not be changed, I am also very confident in myself, here is just asking everyone to support the work, although it is two movies, but only one crew has been established, everyone will be filmed as a movie, when the time comes, everyone will work hard, coordinate the relationship, of course, additional work will also be issued additional bonuses....... I can't say that everyone will become nouveau riche after filming this movie, but it will definitely earn more than the average crew....... The U.S. economy is also not very good..... Isn't it? ”

Speaking of this, everyone laughed, and then no one questioned Cheng Xiaoyu's decision, after all, whether the movie sells or not has nothing to do with them. The most important thing is to let the crew get to know each other, establish a channel for smooth communication, and handle the work they are responsible for while making the crew a team that works together.

No matter what movie is the product of teamwork, even if it is as great as Cheng Xiaoyu's idol James . Cameron or Christopher. Nolan, either, can't finish a movie alone.

It's just that Cheng Xiaoyu's team is a grass stage team compared to the team of those big Hollywood directors, and the one with a little more qualifications belongs to David. Jill, other lighting, props, and sets, because he is only a rookie director, so the guild will not arrange the best for him, this is not a matter of not being able to make money, but a good team, and there is also a schedule, if Cheng Xiaoyu has to wait for those powerful teams, he must wait......

But even if it's just an ordinary team, it's still much higher than Huaxia's ninth-rate level........ But again, American audiences are much more discerning in their tastes.

After the meeting, Cheng Xiaoyu and David. Jill immediately rushed to Hallende, next to Hollywood, he searched for two villas on the Internet, and now he has to go to the field to see where he has to take on a lot of shooting tasks, and then he has to go to Columbia College in Hollywood to discuss the campus shooting plan with the other party.

Columbia College, which is also a film school in California, is far less famous than the Southern California Academy of Motion Picture Arts, and Cheng Xiaoyu hopes to get the support of the school and get a lot of cheap group performances...... Unlike Huaxia, as long as you show your face in the United States, you have to be paid, and even in newspapers and movies, there are only a few copies...... The protection of intellectual property rights is harsh to the point of being a bit morbid....... But it's also for their own benefit.

For Cheng Xiaoyu, it is not difficult to make a movie, but the difficulty lies in how to deal with the small things outside these movies.......

David. Jill was still a little unhappy along the way, and he was still trying his best to dissuade Cheng Xiaoyu from being greedy for merit, and then losing all his money, and used himself as an example, the reason why he fell into working for a hairy boy like him was also because of his self-confidence, borrowed money to make a movie, and then lost all his money, and the master tape is still lying in the basement of his home and no one cares about it.

Cheng Xiaoyu in order to dispel David. Jill, a good Samaritan, chattered endlessly, and could only cast a critical hit, saying, "Hey! David, you must know that my starting point is different from yours, I am a director in China with a box office of 200 million US dollars........ It was the first film I made......"

Hearing Cheng Xiaoyu's words, David. Jill stammered and didn't know what to say, with a look of disbelief, you must know that the directors who have a box office of over 100 million in the United States are not small people...... David. Jill looked at Cheng Xiaoyu's side face and still didn't believe it, shrugged his shoulders and said, "Okay then!" Since you say so, I'll wait to see you work miracles! In fact, he was just waiting to see how reality would break Cheng Xiaoyu's head and bleed......

"Speaking of my nickname in Huaxia, it's called Miracle Director......." Cheng Xiaoyu smiled disapprerovingly and said, not bothering to explain anything else.

These two films are just the beginning, and his $2 billion fundraising plan is just the beginning.......
