Film and Television Journey: Transnational Storm

Chapter 1: The Choice to Step Across Borders

After achieving remarkable success in the film and television industry, Ah Yu, Zhong Hua, and Su Yao have become highly regarded figures in the field. Ah Yu, with her outstanding advertising and marketing skills, consistently and accurately conveys the highlights of film and television works to audiences through various channels, generating buzz even before release. Zhong Hua's unique and creative art design, whether in set design or special effects conception, adds a distinctive visual charm to the films. Su Yao's keen insight into business investment ensures the commercial success of numerous film and television projects.

However, their efforts did not stop. One day, an invitation from a multinational film and television group was presented to them, hoping they could jointly form a cross-disciplinary film and television project team, integrating resources from advertising and marketing, art design, and commercial investment to create a film or television work with international influence. This news was like a pebble thrown into a calm lake, stirring up ripples in their hearts.

The three gathered together, carefully discussing the pros and cons. Ah Yu frowned and said, "Although we have quite a bit of experience in the film and television industry, this time we'll be coordinating people from different countries and with different professional backgrounds. Cultural differences and work habits are big problems, and it could easily lead to numerous conflicts." Zhong Hua nodded in agreement, "Yes, and the distribution of profits is also very complicated. It's easy to cause unpleasantness if we're not careful." Su Yao looked at the two of them, her eyes filled with determination, "But this is indeed a rare opportunity. If we succeed, our careers will take another big step forward, and we'll truly gain a foothold on the international film and television stage."

After careful consideration, they finally decided to accept the challenge and bravely take this step. They knew that if they wanted to continue to shine in the film and television industry, they could not be afraid of difficulties; only by constantly breaking through could they achieve greater glory.

Chapter Two: The Bumpy Road to Building a Team

The process of assembling a cross-disciplinary film and television project team was far more difficult than they had imagined.

Ah Yu was in charge of recruiting advertising and marketing personnel. He posted job openings on major international talent recruitment websites and received resumes from all over the world. However, the screening process proved extremely difficult. Some outstanding foreign talents, while possessing strong professional skills and a solid foundation in advertising and marketing theory and practice, had very little understanding of the advertising rules and audience preferences in the Chinese market. Ah Yu spent a great deal of time and energy communicating with them about the characteristics of the Chinese market and also had to arrange relevant training courses to help them familiarize themselves with the situation as quickly as possible.

Zhong Hua also faced a dilemma in selecting art and design talent. Balancing the integration of artistic styles from different cultural backgrounds is no easy task. She needed to consider the realistic and abstract beauty of Western art while incorporating the artistic conception and charm of Eastern art, avoiding stylistic clashes. Each of the designers who applied had their own unique style, making it like searching for a needle in a haystack to find someone who perfectly matched the project requirements. She could only continuously communicate with applicants, review their past work, and try to piece together the most suitable team composition.

Su Yao faced numerous headaches when building her business investment team. Different countries have different financial systems and investment regulations, which created significant obstacles in determining a reasonable profit-sharing plan. She consulted a large amount of relevant laws and regulations from different countries and sought advice from many industry experts. However, every time she discussed profit-sharing with potential team members from different countries, disagreements arose due to their respective positions and national regulations, often leading to a stalemate in negotiations.

However, they did not lose heart. They widely disseminated recruitment information through various channels, such as industry forums and professional social media platforms, while actively cooperating with film and television industry associations in various countries to seek professional recommendations. After several months of hard work, they finally overcame the difficulties little by little and gradually built a seemingly uneven but full-potential cross-disciplinary team.

Chapter 3: Conflicts at the Initial Stage of Integration

The team was finally assembled, but the first problem it faced was the integration and cultural fusion among its members.

The atmosphere was unusually tense at the first project discussion meeting. Tom, an advertising and marketing professional from the United States, proposed an advertising and promotion plan primarily focused on the Western market, emphasizing the use of large-scale social media campaigns and celebrity endorsements to generate buzz. Ah Yu, from China, argued for incorporating local cultural characteristics and using down-to-earth promotional activities to first establish a foothold in the domestic market before gradually expanding international influence. Each held their own views and refused to concede, leading to a heated debate at one point.

The art design team was also in turmoil. Lucy, the French designer, excelled at romantic style set design and wanted more dreamlike and glamorous elements in the film's scenes; while Sato, the Japanese designer, preferred a simpler, more understated style, believing it better reflected the film's deeper meaning. The two argued heatedly during set design discussions, neither able to convince the other.

The business investment team was also rife with conflict. Hans, the German investment advisor, felt that most of the funds should be invested in early production to ensure the film's quality; while Kim Soo, the South Korean investment manager, advocated reserving sufficient funds for later marketing, believing that even the best product needs marketing. These differing philosophies created a somewhat tense atmosphere within the team.

Seeing the chaotic scene, Ah Yu, Zhong Hua, and Su Yao knew that they had to resolve these conflicts as soon as possible and get the team members working together, otherwise the project would not be able to proceed smoothly.
