Chapter 642 Hollywood Socialite
Su Ming didn't know what the animals led by the panda were doing, but he was very clear about the main work arrangements of the TV inspection team on the other side of the ocean every day.
The destination of the inspection team was Hollywood, the headquarters of Disney Studios, located outside Los Angeles, California, on the west coast of the United States. The filming of Zootopia was carried out at Universal Studios near Hollywood.
The inspection team led by Cai Liming learned the entire filming process with the crew of Disney Studios every day.
No matter how busy he was, Cai Liming would arrange for someone to write a three-day work content and post-work plan outline every three days and send it to Su Ming by email, and at the same time attach a very detailed work sheet attachment for each person in the inspection team.
When a general is away from home, he may not obey military orders. This is only half of the story. Generals leading troops outside can decide strategies and tactics based on actual conditions, but they must never hide it from their bosses. The company paid for this large group of people to go out for gilding. Cai Liming had to let Su Ming know what was going on.
Su Ming admired Cai Liming for this. The more he asked for instructions and reported, the more Su Ming trusted this person.
As for whether Su Ming reads those specific reports or not, and how often he reads them, that is Su Ming's business. The boss may not read them, but the subordinates must report.
Su Ming read the reports several times and was quite satisfied with the work of the inspection team.
The top talents of Taoyuan Film Industry who went there this time either chose a specific technology that they were interested in or good at, such as camera, screenwriting, and post-production, and specialized in it to become technical elites; some chose a certain field and have the tendency to develop into management talents in the future.
In addition to working during the day, following the Disney "teachers" they secretly selected to learn skills, this group of young people also worked very hard after work.
Hollywood is close to Los Angeles, and there are many world-famous attractions around it. There are stars all over the streets. It is definitely a world of flowers. These young people who have just graduated from school did not spend their minds on the world of flowers and spend their time shopping and strolling because this trip was paid for by the company.
The headquarters of the eight major film and television companies in the United States are all in Hollywood. The Universal Studios where the filming takes place is similar to the Hengdian Film and Television City in China. Almost 24 hours a day, various major companies are re-shooting. The young Taoyuan employees seized every minute and every opportunity to absorb film knowledge and skills like a sponge.
It seems that these young employees understood what he said to them at the airport that day.
There was only one exception.
Little Fairy Li Wanting.
According to the description in the report, after Li Wanting arrived in Hollywood, she became a "social butterfly". In just two days, she became familiar with Disney Pictures from producers to the most basic stage managers. A week later, people from several major local companies almost all knew that a hot Chinese beauty had come to Universal Studios.
She spent most of her time on socializing and entertaining, and almost every night, she would go to various cocktail parties in the Hollywood film and television circles.
Su Ming was not dissatisfied with this little fairy because of this. On the contrary, he had a deeper impression of her.
Because the person who specifically handled the work report every three days was the little fairy Li Wanting.
In the unit, what kind of people are most likely to get opportunities?
Hardworking? Strong ability? Beautiful? Flattering?
All, and none.
The easiest way to get an opportunity is to leave the deepest impression on the leader!
As for how to leave a deep impression on the leader and be favored by the leader?
There are many specific methods, such as hard work, ability, appearance, flattery...
Snakes have their own ways, rats have their own ways, and the little fairy has her own set of magic, and it seems very successful at present. She has met Su Ming several times, and each time she has left a deep impression on Su Ming in different ways. What's more rare is that she has turned herself into a book that can be read for a long time. Every time you read it, the impression will be deeper and the feeling will be different.
Moreover, she seems to know Su Ming's "taste" very well, and never uses methods that Su Ming is annoyed. Occasionally, when Su Ming shows a little dissatisfaction, she will immediately stop and turn around.
"Monster." Su Ming smiled.
A little fairy with good talent and worth cultivating may be a big monster who can become a Buddha and an ancestor, and become an immortal in the future.
A saint appears once every 500 years. Such a big monster is also very rare. Once it appears, there will be a lot of turmoil.
Of course, there are many talented people, but most geniuses die halfway.
The little fairy Li Wanting seems to be growing up smoothly and seems to have found her own stage, but whether she can successfully overcome the tribulation and achieve the right result depends on her luck.
Seven points depend on hard work, and three points are destined by fate.
It is a mean behavior to be jealous of others' goodness and intelligence. A boss with real vision and ambition is never afraid of excellent employees under his subordinates, but only afraid of mediocrity.
Before leaving for the mountains, Su Ming responded to the work content and plan that Cai Liming asked Li Wanting to write for the first time.
Two simple sentences.
The first sentence: Everyone has worked hard, and the overseas allowance has doubled;
The second sentence: A special approval of 50,000 US dollars will be used specifically for Li Wanting's social entertainment expenses, which will be specifically responsible for by Mr. Cai Liming, and Li Wanting can directly ask Mr. Cai for advance payment and reimbursement;
The first sentence is an affirmation of everyone;
The last sentence, on the surface, was a reward for Li Wanting, but the money was not given directly to Li Wanting, but was put in Cai Liming's hands. Although Li Wanting had no difficulty in taking it, it showed Su Ming's attitude. He supported the behavior of developing connections in Hollywood, not because of any close personal relationship with Li Wanting herself. Fifty thousand US dollars is public funds.
After sending this email, Su Ming called Su Meng, made some arrangements, and prepared to go into the mountains to find animals.
Technology changes life. A few minutes later, Cai Liming, who was in the United States, received Su Ming's email approval.
The whole inspection team was in high spirits.
The allowance doubled, which was one reason, but more importantly, it was affirmed by the big leaders in China.
People all have a desire to show off. No one wants to work hard for the company, but the leader knows nothing about it.
This reward email is to tell everyone clearly that your efforts are clearly seen by the company and will be rewarded!
As for the doubling of allowances, it was really secondary. According to their current work intensity, they had no time to spend the money.
At this time, the advantage of "a general is not subject to military orders" was revealed. Old Cai made the decision to give everyone a rotating leave, and each person had a whole day to let them go out and have fun!
There was only one thing, and it was necessary to show the Chinese rich style in Hollywood! As long as it was not something that was ridiculously expensive, if you liked it, there was only one word: buy it.
No bargaining allowed, no trying without buying, no buying less!
If the money was not enough, a part of the public funds for this trip would be used to subsidize it.
Most people thought that Mr. Cai was joking, but in fact he was commending everyone's efforts during this period.
Only Li Wanting knew that what Old Cai said was 50% true and 50% false.
How to let Hollywood know that there was a "Taoyuan Film and Television" in China as quickly as possible? A group of small local tyrants made large purchases in addition to filming. This was definitely the most convenient way. Although it might not leave a good impression on people, it was undoubtedly the most efficient.
Besides, not all celebrities in Hollywood are as high-class as imagined. There are many people who are uncultured, love to show off their wealth, are proud of spending a lot of money, and are ashamed of being frugal.
Li Wanting applied for 15,000 US dollars that day and bought a set in a high-end specialty store on Sunset Boulevard.
A pair of teardrop diamond earrings, a slim evening dress, and a pair of Chianmark satin high heels.
Just this pair of shoes cost 6,200 US dollars.
With Su Ming's understanding, the little fairy in the mirror has already seen an international style.
"Beautiful lady, you will be the most dazzling oriental diamond in tonight's party!"
The person who invited Li Wanting to attend tonight's party was Peter Jackson, a famous Hollywood director who made his mark with the low-cost horror film "The Dead" and became famous for the Lord of the Rings trilogy.
Jackson's recent filming is currently being filmed at Universal Studios. He met Li Wanting this morning. Less than five hours later, he was deeply fascinated by this girl from the East and invited her to attend the party held tonight by the legendary Hollywood producer Bruckheimer, who filmed the Pirates of the Caribbean trilogy, in a private mansion in Beverly Hills.
Seeing Li Wanting walk out of the fitting room, the eyes of the bearded Peter Jackson were like two big light bulbs.
As for women, there is no woman who is not vain. Vanity is not a disease. As long as it is controlled within a certain range, it is a good pleasure in life. Although she has received countless compliments since coming to Hollywood, Li Wanting can't help but feel a little proud of being able to fascinate a super director like Jackson.
In addition to being proud, she was also a little indignant. Even world-class directors are like this, but they have been repeatedly defeated in front of a "small boss" of a Chinese film and television company.
This Su Ming is not particularly rich, and he may not be very famous. At least in Hollywood, there are too many people who are richer and more famous than him!
But why do I seem to be controlled by him?
It's really a ghost!
The thought flashed through my mind, but my brain didn't stop at all. I covered my mouth and chuckled: "Mr. Spencer, your words don't seem to be politically correct."
Jackson, who usually doesn't smile in front of many big-name directors, was stunned.
It took more than ten seconds before he came to his senses and said quickly: "Haha, to be honest, even compared with those Western female stars I know, you are still the most dazzling. I'm really sorry, I definitely don't mean to be racist. Please forgive my verbal mistakes."
"I'm glad you think so." Li Wanting shrugged: "Unfortunately, your employees seem to think that our Taoyuan Film and Television people are interfering with their work and not letting us get close to the filming site of your movie."
"Haha, this must be a misunderstanding, treating them as ordinary tourists. I personally welcome all colleagues to come to exchange and learn. Tomorrow I will tell the crew not to stop Eastern colleagues from visiting and filming." Jackson opened the car door for Li Wanting very gracefully.
