Chapter 189: Drunkard (Asking for a Monthly Pass!) )
After the teams of the three companies got off the plane, they went their separate ways, looking for special effects companies and film companies that were more closely related.
Wang Shang is naturally looking for digitalsquires and Paramount.
Because Wang Shang and the others are not here to learn anything particularly confidential, in view of the good cooperation in the past and the ongoing cooperation plan, the two companies are also cooperating all the way.
When Wang Shang assembled this team, he had already explained to them the purpose of this study and investigation. Finally, a task for the team is to investigate, take notes every day, write a report after going back, and hand it over to Wang Shang, if the report is well written, the salary will be raised, and if the report is not well written, the salary will be deducted.
In the case of such additions and subtractions, there is no way for these people to be unserious.
When Datang International and Beihai Film and Television saw Wang Shang's approach, they thought it was good, and they also copied it and used it directly, which put a lot of pressure on many team members.
"You are not called here for tourism, but for you to observe and learn."
However, Wang Shang did not stipulate what they had to do, but let them play freely.
Some people have joined some departments under the arrangement of Paramount/Digital to observe and participate in the regular work.
Some people find their own way, chatting with celebrities every day and mingling with celebrities.
Some people spend their days in bars and chat with Hollywood filmmakers and celebrities.
There are all kinds of people, and they are all using their own ideas to get the information they want.
And Wang Shang was not idle, but directly visited some Chinese Americans or Chinese through domestic connections. There are stars, action directors, and makeup artists...... More than a dozen, almost every profession in filmmaking.
For Wang Shang's arrival, they also welcomed it. As a Chinese with the blood of the Chinese in his bones, although he is far away in the United States, he still cares about the situation in China. And Wang Shang, a newcomer to the film, can be said to be the most eye-catching in the past two years, whether it is the "Death is Coming" series or the "Fast and Furious" that is currently being screened, they are all movies they have been paying attention to.
The third person Wang Shang visited was a special effects artist, which was Wang Shang's main target.
This special effects artist is called Xiang Fei, an intermediate special effects artist of Industrial Light & Magic, a Chinese-American, who is already 38 years old. At this time, Wang Shang came to their house, and after eating a unique Chinese meal, Wang Shang began to humbly ask for his confusion all along.
"You've put together a special effects team? Want to take your effects up quickly? Xiang Fei smoked slowly.
"Yes, but it hasn't been very effective, so I came here to ask Mr. Xiang." Wang Shang opened his questions to talk.
Xiang Fei took a heavy puff of his cigarette and pondered for a moment: "I have an immature opinion on this question. ”
Several of them looked inquiring and prepared to take notes at the same time.
"I think it's still a matter of the environment and the competition." Xiang Fei estimated that he was an old cigarette stick, and he stopped to take a puff after saying a few words, "In Hollywood, from the twenties of the last century to the present, a very mature industrial chain has been formed. Its supremacy in the world has made countless people in the world want to rush in, but there are so many positions, which has to force them to become better and use it to defeat others. ”
Wang Shang and the others listened and thought at the same time......
"No matter how much you learn in a small circle, you can't learn much more than in a large circle. Because a small circle is more limited than a circle. Your special effects team is only a few dozen people, and now Hollywood has tens of thousands of special effects personnel, and tens of thousands of reserve talents, how can you compare? ”
"And ......"
Xiang Fei kept talking for almost half an hour, and after Wang Shang listened, he suddenly became enlightened: "It seems that my limited surname was indeed a little smaller before, although the investment was very large, but really, there are still certain limitations in my eyes." However, this is really difficult to do, and if the scope of cultivation is expanded, it is easy to have your own interests stolen. ”
After thanking Xiang Fei, Wang Shang ended today's visit, because he made an appointment with Xie Tingfeng today.
"Xiaoyue, have you booked a place?"
Secretary Xiaoyue replied: "It's already booked, and a Chinese restaurant not far in front of me has also told Mr. Xie." ”
Soon, I saw Xie Tingfeng.
"Thank you, Brother Shang!!" As soon as they met, Xie Tingfeng said thank you to Wang Shang.
"Why?"
"First of all, thank you for helping me pave the way in Hollywood, and thank you for dragging me away without having to participate in "Wu Ji"!"
"Participating in "Wu Ji"?" Wang Shang was stunned, in the previous time and space, Xie Tingfeng did participate in "Wuji".
After understanding, I learned that when "Death is Coming 1" was released, Xie Tingfeng received an invitation from director Zhang Kaige, if it wasn't for the fire of "Death is Coming 1" at that time, Xie Tingfeng received an invitation from a Hollywood director, otherwise he would have agreed to enter the "Wuji", which is known as the largest investment. If you really get in, you'll be in the streets.
"That's just good luck for you! I just pulled it at the right time. When he lamented the miracle of fate, Wang Shang did not take credit.
"Okay, don't say it, come, do it!!" Xie Tingfeng didn't say anything, and directly raised his glass.
"Well, cheers!!"
After chatting for half an hour, Wang Shang also familiarized himself with Xie Tingfeng's situation here, and the mix was not good, but it was not bad.
Just as Wang Shang and they were chatting, a sloppy drunkard broke in and wanted to go inside, but when he walked to Wang Shang's table, he crashed into the table so badly, and then his body didn't resist and fell on the table......
Vomit...... A piece of nausea vomit spat on the dishes on the table.
A sour smell came to my nose......
Wang Shang, Xie Tingfeng, the secretary, and the guests at the next table couldn't help but cover their noses, lest they avoid it.
Seeing the situation here, several waiters hurriedly came over, and while apologizing to Wang Shang and other customers, they dragged the drunkard out, who knew that the drunkard was asleep or deeply drunk, and his consciousness was completely blurred, but his hands waved from time to time, and he didn't know what he was talking about.
"Sir, I'm sorry, this table of food is not money, wait for us to have another table, it will be regarded as reparation." A middle-aged Chinese boss wiped the sweat on his forehead and ran over, apologized to Wang Shang again and again, and then said to the waiter: "Hurry up and carry him out!" Then call the police! ”
Seeing this, Wang Shang and the three of them were still in the mood to eat, so they thought about leaving. Wang Shang glanced at this drunkard hurriedly, and suddenly found that this drunkard was a little familiar.
This drunkard's hair is a little longer than the average man's hair, covering his face, and because of this, Wang Shang didn't see his appearance just now. Now under the drag of the waiter, his hair was pulled away, and Wang Shang saw it.
"Is that him? How did this come about? ”
Wang Shang hurriedly stopped the waiter who was about to drag him outside: "Wait, I'm sorry boss, I know this person." ”
Wang Shang said, took out some money from his pocket and handed it to the boss: "I'm sorry, this money is considered to compensate you for your losses." ”
Although Xie Tingfeng and the secretary didn't know why Wang Shang was like this, they still cooperated with Wang Shang to carry the drunkard to the car.
The boss didn't get entangled for the sake of the same yellow skin, so he readily agreed.
Soon, Wang Shang took the drunkard back to the villa he had rented during this time.
――――――――
Robert Jr. When Donnie woke up, he felt a sharp pain in his heart, as if his head was about to crack.
After relieving myself for a while, I looked around, only to find that I seemed to be lying in a strange place, with crystal chandeliers, exquisite decoration, gorgeous cabinets, and comfortable beds, instead of sleeping on the side of the street, by the trash can, and by the kennel as before......
Then I looked at myself and found that I was completely naked.
Robert Jr. Donnie couldn't help but touch the place in his lower abdomen, and carefully felt the backyard......
After checking it again, my nervous heart finally breathed a sigh of relief: "It's okay!! ”
He heard that some time ago in another state in the United States, a drunkard slept on the side of the street unconscious, and was molested by a beggar, as for how to be obscene, in the words of the host, it is: 'mouth to mouth, up and down, soft movements, for fear of waking up this male god who fell from the sky'......
Robert Jr. Downey breathed a sigh of relief and began to think about where this place was.
At this moment, a bald man with a body like a giant bear walked in, his face full of flesh and very terrifying. I saw the man grinning at himself, showing his big teeth in horror......
This is the case, little Robert. Donnie can be said to be frightened, and hurriedly tied himself up with the quilt, looking at this strong man in horror.
"Sir, please change your clothes......" The strong man put a wad of clothes in front of the bed and left.
"Whew~~" Robert Jr. Donnie breathed a sigh of relief again, but it felt like the man was a little familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere.
But Robert Jr. Donnie still got dressed as fast as he could, and walked outside. Outside the hall, he thought he had come to Huaxia, there were oriental faces everywhere, there were dozens of people, and there was not a single foreigner.
Men and women, each doing their own thing, smelled a strong fragrance after a while.
"Haha, breakfast ......"
Wang Shang greeted everyone, when he saw the little Robert who had just come out. Donnie also greeted: "Mr. Robert, you can also go brush your teeth and have breakfast together." ”
Brush your teeth, wash your face, little Robert. Donnie was dazed, completely unsure of what was going on.
If it was in normal times, he would definitely just hold a bottle of wine and sit in the corner and drink it. But now in this strange environment, he is not so two.
Just as he was drinking the delicious porridge and warming his stomach, Wang Shang also sat next to him with a bowl of porridge: "Mr. Robert, hello, my name is Wang Shang, get to know me." ”
"Hello, my name is Robert Downey Jr." Robert Jr. Donnie replied.
"Are you their leader?" Little Robert, who has been around for a long time. Downey could see that the eyes of others looking at Wang Shang were different, a kind of awe-inspiring gaze, which was usually only seen by subordinates when they looked at the leader.
"I'm their boss." ”.
