The production team, with all the main creators present, was soon ready to start filming. After finding suitable candidates for the main supporting roles, they could start filming. As for the unimportant extras, they could look for them while filming.
Xiao Yang was not idle either. The movie was being filmed and would probably be finished in a month or so. However, the issue of distribution after filming was a problem. He could either find a company to cooperate with and use other people's distribution channels, or he could set up his own company and directly take the film to cooperate with the theater chains.
"In the future, I'll definitely make more than one movie. If I keep using other people's distribution channels and let others steal a layer of profits, I might as well start my own film company and have unspoken rules with female celebrities!”Xiao Yang thought about how he could lay his hands on those former goddesses in the future, and his face was smiling like a chrysanthemum.
"What a pain in the ass. There's no one to use. Plank is in Anderma, and the only one left with business talent is Jenny.”The corners of Xiao Yang's mouth twitched painfully. He realized that he had no one to use.
"Why don't I find a headhunter to get me a few reliable talents first? I don't know if I can do it myself, but I'll probably be exhausted!”Xiao Yang had intended to enjoy himself from the very beginning. It was not his style to work himself to death in an entrepreneur's job.
……
"Hey, is this a headhunting company?" Xiao Yang dialed the headhunter number he had just received from the Ministry of Commerce. The Laker team still had collaborations with these companies.
"Hello, this is Wolf Head Hunting Company. How can I help you?”A sweet customer service voice came from the phone.
"Yes, I need you to help me find a few high-end talents. For the time being, look for people in the film industry. It's best if they have experience in the higher-ups of a film company.”Xiao Yang stated his request.
"Okay, which company are you from?”
"Oh, I haven't set up a company yet. I'm looking for your help in headhunting because I hope to find a suitable candidate to set up a company for me.”Xiao Yang raised his eyebrows.
"Well, okay. Then can you disclose your salary budget?”The customer service lady continued to collect information.
"Yes, let's hire people according to the salary of the management of the eight major Hollywood film companies. If they're from the eight major film companies, the salary can be increased by another 30%.”Xiao Yang only wanted to recruit the person as soon as possible. Spending more money was nothing to him.
"Alright, sir. We expect to recommend a few suitable candidates for you within a week. You can interview them yourself.”
"Alright, the sooner the better!" Xiao Yang hung up.
"Then let's put the company on hold and wait for a professional to take over. Haha, I'm really a genius!”Xiao Yang clapped his hands in satisfaction. He decided to go and watch the three beauties film a movie.
……
"Ka! Very good, this one passed. Prepare for the next one.”Xiao Yang had just arrived at the set when he heard Ba Ma's satisfied voice.
"Hi, beautiful girls, I'm here to visit you, haha.”Xiao Yang squinted at Beckinsale, who was wearing a bikini. At this moment, he was filming the opening scene of Charlie's Angels. Mira's Alex and Charlizards 'Thylane jumped down from the plane with the terrorists and landed accurately on the speedboat that Beckinsale's Natalie was driving. At this moment, Beckinsale was wearing a hot bikini, and her sexy figure was perfectly displayed in front of the camera.
"Wow, Kate is very good!" Xiao Yang raised an eyebrow at Beckinsale and whistled.
"Is that so?" Beckinsale was not shy. Instead, she winked at Xiao Yang. Xiao Yang had been coming to the set for the past few days, so they were already very familiar with each other.
"Alright, the boss is here. Everyone, take a break for fifteen minutes.”Pa Ma clapped his hands and said, then ran to the side to drink the milk tea that Xiao Yang had brought. He did not want to stay here and watch Xiao Yang pick up girls.
"Charaz, isn't it warm wearing such thick clothes? Quick, have some cold drinks.”Xiao Yang looked at Charaz in his thick costume. Although it was November, Los Angeles was still a little hot. He handed Charaz a cold drink with heartache.
"It's alright. It's my first time being the main character, so I'm a little excited, haha.”This silly girl had been in a state of excitement for the past few days.
"Mila, your figure looks great in this tight-fitting outfit.”Xiao Yang turned to look at Mila and handed her a drink.
"Thank you!" Mila blushed. The little girl was still a little shy under the gaze of Xiao Yang's handsome face.
"Charaz, let me wipe your sweat!”Looking at Charaz's sweat-drenched hair, Xiao Yang took out a handkerchief from his pocket and gently wiped the sweat off Charaz's head. Charaz closed his eyes and drank a cold drink while enjoying the gentleness of his boyfriend.
Xiao Yang didn't notice that Mira and Beckinsale were looking at him and Charaz with envy and admiration.
"How sweet! Did you bring anything for sister to eat?" Jenny walked over with a smile.
"Haha, do you want me to feed you?”Xiao Yang winked at Jenny and said meaningfully.
"I don't mind, but I'm afraid Charaz will have an opinion! So forget it." Jenny smiled and took a bottle of drink before walking away.
……
Xiao Yang spent the next few days running back and forth between the production team and Staples. Occasionally, he would bring the three female leads to the sidelines to watch the home games of the Los Angeles Clippers.
Speaking of which, Kobe's recent performance was not bad. Ever since his last conversation with Xiao Yang, Kobe seemed to have found his future path. He was becoming more and more like the Black Mamba of the later generations. He was now average 18.5 points per game, plus 5 rebounded and 4 assists. If this continued, Xiao Yang wondered if Kobe would be able to get the Sixth Man of the Year award.
On the contrary, O'Neal was a little unhappy. He felt that Kobe had stolen a lot of his limelight. However, there was no conflict between the two of them for the time being, but it might not be the case as time passed.
，……
"Hello, Mr. Xiao, we've already made an appointment for you. When are you free to come over for an interview?”Wolf's company called five days later. It sounded like they had found the talent Xiao Yang was looking for.
"Okay, let's meet at Hilton Hotel in two hours. I'll rush over now.”Xiao Yang looked at his watch. It was nine o'clock in the morning, just in time to rush over from the office.
"Alright, I'll inform Mr. Edgar to go for an interview.”
……
Xiao Yang sat in the small conference room provided by Hilton Hotel and looked at the middle-aged man who was smiling at him.
"Hello, are you Mr. Edgar? Please sit." On the other hand, Xiao Yang felt that Edgar looked rather friendly. He was gentle and refined, not tall, and looked very energetic in a fitting suit. His short hair was neatly combed, and he carried a briefcase in his hand. He looked like a business elite.
"Hello, Mr. Xiao. My name is Robert Edgar. You can call me Robert.”The man sat down with a smile and sized up Xiao Yang. Yes, he was young and handsome, dressed appropriately, but his eyes were too lazy and did not have the drive of a young man.
"Yes, Robert, the headhunter should have introduced me to you, right?”Xiao Yang felt that the name sounded familiar, but he couldn't remember it for a while.
"I roughly understand. Are you thinking of starting a film company?”Edgar sat up straight and looked at Xiao Yang seriously.
"That's right. I have a production team under me now and they're already shooting a movie. It'll probably be finished in a month. By then, I hope that my own company can take on the task of distributing it.”Xiao Yang nodded." Besides, there are still many movies that need to be released in the future. I'm lazy and don't like to do these things, so I need a suitable person to help me.”He looked at Edgar and said," I'm only in charge of investing money and giving some opinions. I won't interfere with the specific operations.”
"Well, can you tell me what advice you're going to give? And how much money could he invest in this company?”Edgar was a little tempted. After all, it was rare to find a boss who didn't interfere with the management's work. It was difficult for many workers to meet such a boss in their entire lives. If it was suitable, he didn't want to give up this opportunity.
"I guess I'll provide some scripts and then I'll need the company to buy some copyrights for me. Maybe I'll also need to buy other companies for me.”Xiao Yang had plenty of profitable movies in mind. Since he had entered the industry, he naturally wanted to do his best.
"As for the investment, it should still be 100 million in the early stages. Although it can't compare to those big companies, it should be enough to buy the copyright, plan the filming, buy the film library, and a portion of the theater chains, right?”Xiao Yang wasn't sure if 100 million yuan was enough, but this was an initial investment. He could totally add more later on.
"One…One hundred million USD?" Edgar was obviously shocked by this figure. He thought that some rich second-generation heir had just started a film company. At most, he would invest a few million or so. He even planned to buy some low-budget independent films from major film festivals in the early stages, just like Lionsgate Films, which slowly developed with low-budget productions.
Who would have thought that Xiao Yang would ask for 100 million? He could have gone for a big one.
"Yes, 100 million. What do you think?”Seeing Edgar's expression, Xiao Yang knew that the money was enough.
"Okay, I have no more questions. You can interview me.”Edgar calmed his tone.
"Hmm, can you briefly introduce yourself? I don't know you very well." Xiao Yang spread his hands. The headhunter did not tell him anything about this person.
"This is my resume. You can take a look.”Edgar took out a stack of papers from his briefcase and handed it to Xiao Yang.
"Alright, wait a moment. I'll take a look first!”Xiao Yang did not waste any time after he received it. He lowered his head and looked at it seriously.
I've been working hard to save my drafts, just waiting for them to explode in one go. Everyone, please be patient.
