Chapter 606: Evil Boss
"For the first time, I knew that Charlotte guy still believed in feng shui and things like that. โ
At the headquarters of the Ghost Party Studios in Los Angeles, Addison Young said to the old guns,
"Isn't feng shui more popular in Hong Kong?"
"Don't forget, he can use spells!"
The old gun shrugged his shoulders and said,
"Since the spell is real, then Feng Shui can't be real?"
"This ...... It seems to be true. โ
Addison Young shook his head,
"Before I met Charlotte, I used to be superstitious about science, but now I ......"
He also shrugged his shoulders like an old gun,
"The world is still very large!"
"yes!"
The old gun agreed.
As Old Gun and Addison Young discussed, Charlotte set up a so-called "Feng Shui" circle in the headquarters of the Ghost Party Studio, in the name of the psychic master Patrick Jane.
To this end, he also modified the layout of the office area, adding some decorations that took away the occult meaning.
The employees of the Ghost Party Studio have no opinion on this.
Although this magic circle is in the name of "gathering wealth", the beautification of the office environment of the ghost party studio is real.
What's more, everyone has been working for a long time, and they have long been accustomed to some bosses' quirks.
- After all, most people who can make a career in the mall, in addition to ability, are generally not too bad luck.
Therefore, after their net worth reaches a certain order of magnitude, they tend to be more in awe of the mystery of fate.
Whether it is superstition, praying to God or worshiping Buddha, in fact, they all hope that fate will continue to favor them.
- Anyway, as the head of the game department at Ghost Party Studios, that's what Stann thinks.
Only someone like Old Gun or Addison Young who knew the secrets of Charlotte's spells would understand what Charlotte might have really set up.
As for the specific role of the circle-
"This is actually a magic circle used to unify the subconscious of employees, so that Charlotte can communicate with everyone at the subconscious level!"
Alexis explained to Old Gun and Addison Young.
- Both before and after the crossing, Charlotte has worked at the bottom level and has a lot of experience. In turn, he has a lot of experience leading the entire project.
Therefore, he is very clear that in many cases, the level of the working members in the two project teams may be almost the same, but the things they make are different, which is not the reason for the ability of the employees.
โ but because the employees are not able to make the most of their abilities.
And how to maximize the ability of employees is also one of the most important tasks of leaders.
In fact, since the filming of "The Mummy", Charlotte has been thinking about this issue.
As a traverser, he is well aware of how much "borrowing" there is in his success.
Of course, spells and Charlotte's gradual training level of directing are also an important part of success.
But if the quality of the films he shoots is further improved, Charlotte knows that it is not just his own business.
- Not only did he have to find more capable subordinates, but he also had to try to make the most of them.
As someone who has led many film projects, Charlotte understands that the most important thing to do is to understand the actual progress and difficulties faced by her subordinates in order to bring out the best in their abilities.
This is especially true when there are a large number of people in each film project team, such as Ghost Party Studios.
- Whether it's Redmine, an internal task sharing tool, regular development meetings, or daily work reports submitted by employees, it's all about keeping leadership, including Charlotte, informed of the project's progress.
Even so, however, Charlotte knows that the feedback received from leadership is often mistrue.
It is not uncommon for the reported progress to be inconsistent with the actual progress, and employees often report good news but not bad news, or the work that has been completed by one person is repeated by another person for reasons that he does not understand......
Wait a minute.
In short, to sort these things out, it takes a lot of time and effort from the people in charge of the project, and they must have enough ability.
- Charlotte still wants to enjoy life and doesn't want to devote all her limited time to unlimited work.
So, he came up with a way to use spells to cut cornersโ
With the help of the circle he had Alexis help set up, he was able to make a limited connection to the subconscious minds of the Spectre Studio employees.
In this way, there will be a lot more cooperation between employees.
And more importantly, this circle can store the consciousness and thought process of employees while working.
When Charlotte sleeps every day, as long as she spends a short time linking to the magic circle, she can understand the work of the entire Ghost Party Studio clearly by combing through these consciousness records.
Moreover, there will be absolutely no concealment and mistakes.
- After all, employees don't lie when it comes to meaning.
And the speed of information processing at the level of consciousness is much faster than in reality.
- This, combined with the nap system that was about to be rolled out throughout the Ghost Party studios, made Charlotte an unusually knowledgeable boss of the inner workings of the company very easily.
Of course, this may be a boon to the bosses, but for the employees of the Ghost Party Studios, it is outright bad news -
Take Steen, for example, in the games department.
Originally, after the release of the game version of "Sherlock Holmes", S&T felt that he could take the opportunity to fish and paddle for a while.
After all, the games department was maintaining the two games, The Amazing Quidditch and Sherlock Holmes, and was still preparing a follow-up expansion.
- On the surface, they are still busy.
In fact, with his years of experience in the games industry, Stern effectively divides these jobs and lets everyone in the games department do a little bit - everyone has something to do, but the workload is not saturated.
In this way, it is difficult for the bosses at the top of the studio to see, and everyone can paddle happily for a while.
However, yesterday's email from owner Charlotte from New Zealand completely killed this fantasy of Stern.
The content of the email was very friendly, but Shi Deen translated it himself, but the actual meaning was-
"Lao Tzu knows that your game department has been idle lately, so I've been paddling. I don't want to raise a bunch of salary thieves, so you can recruit a few more people for me, and let's start a new game project!"
In this regard, the discovered Shi Deen can only be helpless......
