The moon is particularly bright tonight.
Liu Chen stood at the door of "Remote" Entertainment for a long time, and also paced for a long time.
However, he never had the courage to get into "remote" entertainment.
Even though Liu Da told him on the other end of the phone not to be nervous and that the boss was a nice person and wouldn't do anything to him, Liu Chen still felt unsure.
He knew that his situation was dire.
There are more than 30 people in the company, and they have not been paid for nearly two months. Although the people in the company are still united and no one has chosen to resign, dissatisfaction is still spreading throughout the company...
Going to the company every day is a torture for him.
The business side of the company was equally bad.
Although its special effects are good in all aspects, even better than some Hollywood companies, this is Hollywood after all!
There are quite a few special effects companies in Hollywood, and there are even more special effects companies that have connections with the Big Eight.
Before, he could still take on some work from small companies to support the company. Although he didn't earn much, at least the company's assets were still sufficient.
However, one day, the partner in charge of finance suddenly transferred all the company's funds and performed a magic trick on him. He instantly felt that he was finished.
He contacted the FBI, and the FBI was very responsible, helping him deal with this and that...
But, maybe the partner had already thought of this step, no matter how powerful the FBI is, they can't find where he ran off to...
Maybe he has already gone to other countries?
When Liu Chen thought of this, he suddenly felt it was a little ridiculous.
He trusts others too easily.
At the beginning of the company, he treated his partners as good friends like brothers. He was responsible for various technical work, while his friends were responsible for external contacts and financial management.
He was a little wary of his friend at first, but after seeing that every account of the company was clear, he gradually relaxed his vigilance, thinking that this partner brother was a sincere person like him, and would definitely not cause any problems for the so-called money.
But……
He never dreamed that this brother would suddenly do this to him after the company received a big order two months ago!
Not only did he take away all the company's money, he even took away the advance payment!
That moment...
He felt the world spinning around him in an instant!
Not only did his friend steal his money, he also stole his previous confidence and high spirits.
With ups and downs.
everything……
Everything seems to have changed.
He even began to become somewhat inferior and sensitive, and at the same time had a hint of inexplicable fear of this world.
A few minutes passed slowly.
The lights are always on in a “remote” company.
The light looks gentle.
Go!
Go!
There is only one chance!
Of course, you must seize the opportunity!
Liu Chen finally took a deep breath, straightened his wrinkled suit, and prepared to walk towards the company.
However, just when he mustered up the courage to go into the house, he saw a jeep parked in front of the company.
When the door of the jeep opened, he saw two directors, Andor and James, walking down.
He stopped again.
He subconsciously hid beside the garden.
These two were big directors. If the company had been operating normally before, he would have dared to go up and say hello to them, but now...
He began to become a little scared, and something called "inferiority complex" was ingrained into his bones.
Then he watched the two directors walk into the "remote" company.
At this moment, he found that the courage he had just mustered disappeared completely in an instant...
He reminded himself!
My own special effects are no worse than any other company. Now everything in the company depends on myself. I can’t be responsible only for technology and procedures as before. What’s more, I have something to be proud of!
However, he inevitably felt nervous.
After all, this moment is so important to him, life and death depends on this moment!
no!
I can't do this!
The company depends on me!
After a while, he saw another car drive by and stop.
He saw two directors, Forrest and Thomson, coming down at the same time.
Under the moonlight.
Liu Chen lowered his head.
…
In the office.
Lu Yuan looked at James, Forrest, Thomson and Andor.
Especially after seeing Andorra and Thomson, his expression suddenly became complicated.
It feels weird!
after all……
Is there a buy one get one free offer?
For some reason, Lu Yuan thought of the United States again.
Although the "King Kong" series of American Film Group became popular, the overall strength of the company is still in the second tier of Hollywood...
Now two directors have resigned at once.
This company...
Will it never recover?
When he thought of this, Lu Yuan's expression became more complicated.
Thomson was also a little embarrassed when he saw Lu Yuan, but then he showed a cheeky smile.
Anyway, he quit his job and now he has nowhere to go.
Anyway, you have to take him in no matter what you do "remotely", right?
He said nothing, just stared at Lu Yuan.
As for Andor, James and Forrest, they were waiting for Lu Yuan to speak.
"Ahem, ahem, Mr. Andorra, Mr. Thomson, this is your contract, please take a look at it first..."
I am most afraid of the air suddenly becoming quiet.
Lu Yuan really couldn't get used to the silence in the office where everyone was staring at each other.
What is this for?
Does this simulate psychology?
Finally, he pulled out two contracts from the drawer and handed them to the two men.
“Okay boss!”
"good!"
When Andor and Thomson took the contract of only a few pages, they subconsciously glanced at James.
In total...
Only four pages?
etc!
This contract is really too...
Simple, right?
James shrugged and said that he also signed this contract.
After seeing James' expression, the two continued to look through the contract, and then after seeing the content, they were suddenly speechless.
They had heard before that "remote" contracts seemed loose, but they never dreamed they would be so loose.
What is this?
This is not a contract at all, this is simply...
Cooperation agreement!
In short, these words can be summed up in one sentence.
As long as it does not violate the company's interests, reputation, rights and other basic things, you can get paid as much as you work, and you can do whatever you want...
Besides that…
That’s all.
Andorra and Thomson were filled with mixed feelings at the same time...
When they were at the American United, both of them felt that the contract with that company was simply exploitative. Now after coming to Lu Yuan and seeing this kind of contract, they naturally felt uncomfortable.
Andorra suddenly remembered Lu Yuan's words.
We are a group!
We are like family.
We all have things we want to do...
This moment...
He had a very warm feeling in his heart.
Then he signed the contract with Thomson without hesitation.
Just after the two signed the contract, there was a knock on the office door.
"Come in……"
"Boss, there is a Mr. Liu Chen who claims to be from a special effects company who wants to meet you. Boss, do you want to meet him?"
"Oh, let him in."
"good."
Special effects company?
James, Forrest, Andor and Thomson looked at each other.
Does the company need special effects for any of its movies?
That's not right.
Even if "The Legend of 1900" wants to make special effects, isn't it too early?
"Boss, you go ahead and do your work. I'll take two of them to familiarize themselves with the company." When Forrest heard this, he gave a look to several people.
Everyone was not stupid. They knew that Lu Yuan was going to talk about something next, so they chose to avoid him for the time being.
"Okay." Lu Yuan nodded.
…
"Lu...Mr. Lu, hello..."
"Mr. Liu Chen?"
"Yes, yes, it's me."
"Don't be nervous, just sit down."
"good……"
“Can I know the current situation of your company?”
"Okay... my company is currently..."
“So bad?”
"Um……"
Lu Yuan met Liu Chen, the friend that Liu Da mentioned.
When he saw him for the first time, Lu Yuan suddenly felt for some reason that this person was an honest man who was even more honest than himself before his rebirth.
At first Lu Yuan thought he was pretending and observed him carefully.
But then, no matter how Lu Yuan observed, he felt that this person was very cautious, and he seemed to be under great pressure every time he spoke to him.
Lu Yuan was quite confused.
Do I look evil today?
Then Lu Yuan asked about the situation of the special effects company called "Industrial Electric Magic"...
Liu Chen carefully explained the company's situation and experience.
After hearing this, Lu Yuan was suddenly stunned.
In this world, there are still...
Such a person?
He was a little bit unconvinced.
Looking at Liu Chen's almost bald hair...
Lu Yuan felt a little sad.
The company's condition was indeed very bad, so bad that Lu Yuan had no idea what was going on.
Now, the company's current situation requires at least 10 million US dollars to fill the hole and temporarily transform the company.
"So, do you think you have any advantages now?"
"Yes... Mr. Lu... our... company is really in a bad situation right now. However, I have the skills and my team is very good!" Liu Chen looked up cautiously, and then his face turned red as if this sentence had exhausted his strength.
“Do you have any representative works?”
"Yes, yes, I brought it, yes!"
"Okay, let me see..."
Liu Chen carefully handed the work he brought to Lu Yuan.
Then he stood aside timidly, waiting for the result anxiously.
At this moment, he found that he didn't even have the courage to sit opposite Lu Yuan.
Lu Yuan took the works and looked at them.
He found that the special effects of these works were truly very detailed, several times better than those he had made before.
certainly……
Lu Yuan had never heard of these movies. They seemed to be not famous in Hollywood at all.
He put these movies online and watched them...
The reviews of the film are all criticizing it for being a bad movie, the only thing worth mentioning is the special effects...
The rest is worthless.
After seeing this, Lu Yuan felt quite satisfied.
The hard power seems to be quite good.
Then he looked up at Liu Chen.
Liu Chen lowered his head.
He really doesn't look like the boss of a company, and even feels like a child who has done something wrong.
It feels difficult to ask him to talk about the special effects business.
If a special effects company makes a movie, can it only be processed within the company itself?
Lu Yuan was silent for a while.
"Liu Chen..."
"Here...here is Mr. Lu..."
“Does the company have other businesses now?”
"Before..."
"What business?"
"Mr. Brute's business at Midland Company...we have been cooperating with Mr. Brute before."
"Medium?" Lu Yuan was stunned when he heard the name.
"Yes, our biggest client is Mr. Brutus of Midland... However, after the company ran into trouble, Mr. Brutus terminated our cooperation. Of course, Mr. Lu, if the company can turn around, I think we can participate in Brutus' special effects bidding tomorrow. I... I have confidence! I called Mr. Brutus, and Mr. Brutus said that if we can prove that our company has no financial problems at the moment, we can participate in the bidding..." Liu Chen clenched his fists.
"..." Lu Yuan was a little dazed.
"Mr. Lu...Mr. Lu, what's wrong?"
"Nothing... How about this, you make a table of your company's situation... I'll consult professionals, and if that's okay, I can buy shares in your company and help your company through its difficulties."
"Ah, thank you Mr. Lu, thank you Mr. Lu!"
"Tomorrow is the special effects bidding for the Midland Film Company?"
"Um……"
"I understand." Lu Yuan closed his eyes.
I don’t know why…
I feel a little weird.
Midland...
This company...
Is it wrong with my horoscope?
If I follow Liu Chen to the bidding meeting, will I be beaten?
However, looking at Liu Chen's honest appearance...
Can he do it alone?
Lu Yuan's mood suddenly became messy!
