Chapter 179: Recruiting Talents
Queens, Canaan Film and Television Base, Phoenix Eye Entertainment Company Headquarters.
Zhou Yu sat in the office of the film and television base, which had begun to take shape, looked at the construction and infrastructure that was still going on in the distance, and nodded with satisfaction:
"It's very good, there are a few more studios like this with different styles, don't worry about the initial investment, I'm very confident that this will bring us many times the profit, and we should pay attention to this aspect."
Sitting opposite Zhou Yu is Xiaodong, who is in charge of the entire Canaan film and television project.
Xiaodong's original name was Tang Dong, with three-dimensional facial features, a heroic face, a moderate and tall figure, C13 If you rank by appearance, he is a well-deserved NO1.
"Okay Mr. Zhou, we have been working hard to build according to your requirements, with the investment of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce and Mr. Roosevelt, we can recruit more workers, and open a few more construction sites at the same time, and the Chaplin you insist on signing is becoming more and more famous, and the movies directed and starred by him are becoming more and more popular."
Zhou Yu nodded slightly, thinking in his heart, "That's natural, this is a rare genius master in a hundred years, if I hadn't cut off his beard in advance and abducted him to New York, this master would probably go to Hollywood for development." ”
Zhou Yu wanted to take advantage of Chaplin's shareholder style to beat the reputation of Canaan Film and Television City, seize the market share of Hollywood in advance, and attract more film and television companies to take root in him.
Of course, Roosevelt also played a big role in this, he used his previous network to contact some film and television talents, and introduced them to Zhou Yu, which saved the latter a lot of trouble and helped a lot.
At this moment, Xiao Dong seemed to remember something, and pondered: "By the way, Mr. Zhou, the person you asked me to inquire about last time has been found, but I encountered some obstacles in persuading them to join our Phoenix Eye Entertainment Company......
"However, after our sincere and friendly consultations, most of us have made the right choice, while a very small number of people have been unable to conduct further research for various reasons, and we are very sorry for this, but as you said, everyone has their own ambitions, and they cannot be forced."
Xiaodong said this very level, and he was speechless for a while when he heard Zhou Yu.
Yes, he asked Xiaodong to contact the Chinese workers left behind in France, Britain, Germany and other countries to help find some of the most important figures in the film industry, including several masters who could improve sound films and make outstanding contributions to color films.
At that time, he said that I should know them with affection, move them with reason, try to persuade these talents to be used by me, and if the other party is really unwilling to accept their invitation, I should also give sincere blessings, after all, everyone has their own aspirations.
But Zhou Yu didn't expect that Xiaodong understood the meaning of his words in a certain way, and he could even imagine under what circumstances those future masters in the industry reached a friendly cooperative relationship with them, but don't use a gun to the heads of other people's wives and children to reach a friendly consultation.
Zhou Yu was silent for a moment, knowing that it was a little late to say anything now, and immediately ordered:
"Then bring our partners to New York at once, and remember, you must be polite, tell them that the money, housing, and cars will all be provided by the company when they come here, and they will also witness the birth of a great movie, the birth of a great film era, and tell them that only here can they witness miracles."
Xiaodong nodded solemnly and said, "Mr. Zhou, I understand what you mean, I will arrange for the following people to take them to New York." ”
Looking at Xiaodong, who was handsome and handsome and neat, Zhou Yu couldn't help but ask in his heart, "Do you really understand or fake understand?" We're different from those gangsters, Brother Dong~"
With the gradual improvement of the film and television base in Canaan, Zhou Yu has spent significantly more time here than the Dragon Guild Hall, after all, this was also a big hobby of his before.
Since he has come to this era, he has so much spare money in his hands, and the returns that this field can bring to him are immeasurable, so why not give it a hand?
Standing on the balcony of the newly built two-story building, Zhou Yu looked into the valley, where the workers were still in full swing, and a street not far in front of him had built three film and television bases of completely different styles and eras.
Of course, at this stage, this film and television base has not brought him any income, as for the success of Chaplin's pantomime, there was an agreement between the two when Zhou Yu signed him, and the other party joined his Phoenix Eye Entertainment Company, but all the income from the first three films shot after joining belonged to Chaplin.
However, Zhou Yu still has to charge some venue usage fees, equipment usage fees and staff salaries, and he feels that he lacks a sense of participation if he doesn't do that.
However, during this time, in addition to recruiting movie-related talents everywhere, the most Zhou Yu did was to record the classic movies he had seen before in the form of scripts.
That's right, he wants to make a time difference before these classics appear, and engrave these works with his name without any psychological burden.
Well, that's one of the perks of being a traverser, so you don't have to use it in vain.
While admiring his elaborate New York version of Hollywood, Zhou Yu saw a figure trotting from the end of the street to the small building where he was.
The person who came was Zhou Zhen, who looked quite anxious.
"Zhou ...... Mr. Zhou is not good! Margaret...... Margaret and Pera are fighting~! ”
Zhou Zhen looked up and saw Zhou Yu standing on the balcony looking at him, and he didn't care about going upstairs, so he waved his hand downstairs and shouted loudly.
And Zhou Yu frowned when he heard this.
Did Margaret fight Pera? These two girls are of the same age, and their families are not around, when Zhou Zhen took the former to the bar to play twice, he quickly made friends with Pera, and for a period of time, he was in and out of pairs, like a good girlfriend's sense of immediacy, how could he suddenly fight?
Seeing Zhou Yu's doubts, Zhou Zhenxuan focused on explaining: "Margaret...... Margaret said Pera was secretly selling drugs in the bar. ”
"What?"
Zhou Yu's expression was stunned, and he subconsciously felt that this matter was not simple, and it seemed that he had to go in person.
"You wait down there, we'll go over now."
Zhou Yu didn't delay, turned around and took his coat and walked quickly downstairs.
Qinglong and White Tiger silently glanced at each other when they saw the boss like this, and followed behind him.
Hong Agui, who felt that his bodyguard position had been robbed, did not want to be left behind, so he followed closely.
"Zach, go to the bar, Tai Chi bar."
Zhou Yu sat in a specially modified, longer and wider Ford car, while Qinglong and Baihu sat in the co-pilot and the other next to him.
Zhou Zhen and Hong Ah glanced at the back seat of the car, and both silently chose to take another car.
At the same time, inside the Tai Chi bar.
"Let go of my hair~~~ You crazy woman!"
"If you want to let go, you should let go first, you traitor!"
Margaret and Pera tugged at each other's hair, their faces were blue and purple, and the dresses they were wearing were torn, and they tore each other apart without regard for ladylike demeanor.
Wang Lianhao was in a hurry next to him, while the other people in the bar were smiling, staring at him as if they were watching a joke.
