Chapter 41 Cultivating Directors
While Link was still working on the script for The Walking Dead, Polk had already flown to New York with his team.
When dozens of people crowded into CAA TV, the whole space seemed to be a lot more crowded, and many employees looked at these people curiously.
In a short time, the open-minded and bold Americans had already begun to mingle with these newcomers.
It wasn't until this time that CAA employees learned that these people were members of the Fahrenheit Media team, members of a production company that Link, the small boss, had acquired.
"Hi my boss, it's been a long time. And you, fatty, haha, you're still so fat, I thought you'd lose a lot of weight over the years. β
In Link's office, Polk greeted everyone loudly.
Fat Jack said angrily: "Polke, you bastard, when will your stinky mouth be changed?" β
Pock hugged the fat man Jack, put his arm around each other's shoulders, and said, "Okay Jack, you are now the second leader of CAA TV, can't you still make me sarcastic?" β
When he saw Jack for the first time, Polk was also secretly surprised, and now Jack seems to be a 'celebrity'.
"That suit on him is worth tens of thousands of dollars, right?"
looked at Jack in a straight suit, looking like he was in the limelight, and then looked at himself, he was all the people who came out at the same time and started to break through, but now the gap is so big.
The fat man also smiled and said, "After so many years, I can finally work together again." β
"I have to thank you, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't have joined Fahrenheit Media."
Pock sincerely thanked Fat Jack, if it weren't for him, he would still be saddled with hundreds of thousands of dollars in debt.
While the two of them were catching up, Link was also looking through the debt documents of the 'Fox Film Production Company', which was about as expected, with a debt amount of about half a million dollars.
After reading the entire document and finding that there was nothing wrong, Link threw the document to the legal department, who would solve the legal problems on the acquisition.
"Come on, go see where you work."
Link took Pock and the others to a small building next to CAA TV, which Link had rented a few days ago, right next to CAA TV, so it was easy to move around. Link can also juggle CAA TV and Fahrenheit Media, so he doesn't have to run at both ends.
Originally, Fat Jack suggested buying both buildings, but Link didn't agree. His goal is to build office buildings in Times Square, not two small buildings in Chinatown.
The small building is empty, only some props and cameras are placed in the corner, which have been treated with anti-chΓ‘o.
"Good stuff."
Polk saw the million-dollar camera equipment at a glance, and when he saw this set of things, Polk realized how confident Link really was, and this kind of thing was more than enough to make a movie.
"In a few days, the necessary office supplies will be available one after another, and you will familiarize yourself with the environment in the next few days, and get Fahrenheit Media up and running as quickly as possible."
Poke nodded: "Don't worry, boss, as long as everything is in place, it is guaranteed that you can start work normally within a week." β
"That's good."
Link took Pock and the others around for a tour, and then returned to the CAA TV station next to him.
After Christmas, the second half of the Big Bang Theory season can continue filming, and the post-production of The Walking Dead can also take place here.
Since there are some special effects shots in "The Walking Dead", Link, a half-ass, is okay to edit "The Big Bang Theory", and professional things such as special effects should be left to Pock's subordinates.
While Link and Pock were talking, there was a knock on the office door, and a fat figure squirmed in.
"Boss."
Carl glanced at Link, rubbing his hands together and looking a little overwhelmed.
Seeing that it was Carl, Link couldn't help but smile and said, "Carl, you're here just in time, this is Mr. Polke." β
Polk greeted Carl, but he didn't understand what Link meant.
But Link continued: "Mr. Polk, Carl used to be a news cameraman for CAA TV, but now he wants to change his career to the filming of American dramas, you are an expert in this field, please teach him more in the future." β
Pork smiled: "No problem, since Carl is no stranger to cameras, let's be my camera assistant first." β
Hearing Pock's words, Carleton became excited, and since participating in the filming of "The Big Bang Theory", he has become obsessed with filming American dramas. He never knew that filming an American drama was such a fun thing. Especially when he saw what he was filming on TV, Carl felt that it was the happiest moment of his life.
After sending Carl away, Poke hesitated for a moment, thinking that this was related to his son's future future, he still spoke: "Boss, there is something I want to trouble you." β
"Oh? What is it? β
Link asked strangely, he didn't expect that Bock had just joined Fahrenheit Media, and now he was starting to ask for something.
Polk said with some embarrassment: "My son Johnny, you have met, he also wants to join Fahrenheit Media, you see ......"
Link looked down and thought about it, although he didn't mind nepotism, it had to be capable.
"And what can Johnny do?"
Hearing Link's question, Polk knew that the other party had already begun to think about it, and he couldn't help but hurriedly say: "Johnny has done scene notes and assistant directors, and he still has experience." β
Hearing the other party say that Johnny had been an assistant director, Link was immediately happy. The assistant director said that if it is ugly, it is an errand, and the problems on the set need to be solved by the assistant director.
However, although the assistant director seems to be a small person, it is not. The assistant director is not only hard, but also the executor of the director's will, which can be said to be quite important. And many big-name directors have come out of assistant directors.
After thinking about it, Link nodded: "It's okay to let Johnny join Fahrenheit Media, but he needs to work in the "The Big Bang Theory" crew for a while. β
Poke thought Link wanted to test Johnny's abilities, so he agreed.
And Link didn't just want to test Johnny, but planned to coach him well. Link had also been in contact with him when he was in Los Angeles, and it was clear that he was a practical person.
The crew of "The Big Bang Theory" has basically entered the regular stage, and it can be filmed normally even without Link. In addition, Carl was involved in the filming throughout the filming, and he could also direct the work on the set.
"Let's start as an assistant director on The Big Bang Theory."
Link suddenly made a decision, he was ready to start preparing for "The Walking Dead", and he didn't want to spend any more energy on "The Big Bang Theory".
Since Fahrenheit doesn't have any other directors, let's train a director.
