Chapter 486: One Challenge to the World

"Thank you," Jim put away his smile and said solemnly, "I will do my best to be worthy of your efforts, boss."

Li Changheng smiled and waved his hands, "I have high expectations for Panda Restaurant, but this company is destined not to be my core business.

Therefore, you must make achievements and prove yourself at the same time, otherwise you can only fly for me.

But I hope this company is not the end of your career. "

Jim and Zhang Tianzhi, who had been listening without speaking, immediately thought of Intel and the crude oil that was already worth nearly 300 million US dollars.

Such a large amount of money is definitely impossible to keep in the bank, and a large amount of taxes must be paid to the United States.

In other words, my boss must have a more important plan in mind.

After playing in London for a few days with Jim's family, Jim, who got a new position, can only leave his son and wife behind.

He went back to work in New York alone, and took care of two daughters who gave him headaches.

After that, Li Changheng went to prepare for the crew, and Anne went to study acting with Madeleine and McCauley.

Ever since I found out about Lee Jang Hyung, I started preparing to make my first movie, as a practice for filming the experience of the two of them meeting and falling in love in Rome.

A large part of Anne's mind was put on the performance and the script of Roman Holiday.

In addition, Li Changheng basically left all the trivial matters to her to take care of.

So much so that in the next half month, the two of them basically didn't spend time together during the day except for going home at night.

On this day, Li Changheng was interviewing two stupid actors with his assistant director Ren, producer assistant, casting director, and cameraman.

Annie and Madeleine also came to the little guy's first audition, bringing McCawley with him.

Standing outside the audition, in the aisle with no outsiders, Annie looked through the window at Li Changheng, who had a serious face and wrote a few strokes in his notebook from time to time, her eyes immediately showed surprise.

This was the first time she saw Li Changheng being so serious about something.

In the past, Li Changheng had always acted casually in everything he did. While making Annie admire him, he showed him how difficult it was, with the expression of you being an idiot.

But I don't know, don't look at Li Changheng's bragging, that's what making a movie is all about.

But after he really took over, he got used to the character of controlling everything in his hands, which really made him feel that there were too many things and too cumbersome.

And the actors and crew members, not those big soldiers of Barney, trenches and knight shields, have lived in the barracks for a long time, so that they are used to obeying orders.

Even with one order, even if you know you may die, you still have to rush forward to complete the task.

Therefore, trivial matters, big and small, and the rule of leaving get off work within 8 hours, really made Li Changheng, who is full of energy, feel irritable and helpless at the same time.

Because it is impossible for him to turn a small-cost movie that can be done with 3 million dollars into tens of millions of dollars.

So much so that the movie was ridiculed by the media before it was released, and then left potential audiences with a negative first impression of spending money indiscriminately, or even having money and no place to spend it.

Since we can't maximize the power of money like other times, of course we have to spend more energy and time to communicate with the actors and crew.

Of course, this is also related to his first filming, and being a director, screenwriter, and producer himself.

When it comes to how to make money, everyone in the crew would like to call him daddy.

Even as long as he is willing to announce the "New Economic Policy" to the Americans, he will stop fulfilling the promise of the capitalist society that he can exchange US dollars for gold.

That is to say, when the U.S. dollar and gold are officially decoupled, if you talk about gold and exchange rates with them, this group of people will be fine.

But when it comes to making movies, few people believe him.

If it weren't for the fact that the remuneration is above average in the same industry, few people would be willing to answer this and that question of Li Changheng.

Fortunately, after getting along for half a month, everyone realized that their new boss can remember everything.

Even after I really had a photographic memory and never made a mistake, my opinion of him improved a lot.

Then the crew gradually became willing to cooperate, which led Li Changheng to directly activate the talent of a workaholic.

I can't wait to finish tomorrow's work today during working hours.

So Annie looked at her sweetheart lovingly, and it didn't take long before she looked serious, then she frowned and saw that there was still half of the sandwich left on the plate on the table.

Turning back to Zhang Tianzhi, he asked, "What did Henry have for lunch?"

Zhang Tianzhi shook his head helplessly, "Boss doesn't have a good appetite at noon these days, either hamburgers or sandwiches.

Fortunately, it's okay to remind him to eat on time, otherwise I would have reported this to you long ago. "

Hearing this, Annie was relieved.

After all, Li Changheng's appetite was normal when they went home at night and had dinner together.

But soon Anne frowned again.

She knows exactly how much her man eats.

I didn't eat anything at noon, but my appetite didn't change at night, which meant that I still might not be able to keep up with my nutrition.

In addition, just seeing Li Changheng's serious appearance, Annie thought that his consumption would be greater than before.

After thinking about it, he whispered to Zhang Tianzhi, "Zhang, if Henry is still like this tomorrow, I'll ask Ms. Meryl to prepare some thick soup, or the soup in Cantonese cuisine, and let you bring it over."

Zhang Tianzhi nodded repeatedly, and then blurted out, "The boss likes eight-treasure winter melon and Ganoderma lucidum fungus the most. It would be best if they can be paired with two Huaiyang-flavored lion heads."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Tianzhi began to regret it.

Meryl's housekeeper is not Ruan Mei, Huaiyang cuisine and Cantonese cuisine are the best, after more than two years of practice, she can even cook Fujian cuisine, Anhui cuisine, and various small southern pastries.

Seeing the embarrassed expression on Zhang Tianzhi's face, Annie immediately understood that what he just said must be something that the woman from Hong Kong and Kowloon often cooks for some bastard.

Then I thought in my heart that I couldn't compare to her in cooking, but wouldn't I invite the Chinese chef from London home?

But this idea was rejected by Annie within a few seconds.

He thought in his heart that with Henry's cleverness, if he prepared Chinese dishes for several days in a row, he would definitely understand that he was comparing himself with that woman from Hong Kong and Kowloon.

So Annie immediately decided to use dishes from all over the world to compare with those from the Celestial Dynasty.

Li Changheng, who still doesn't know his future food, will definitely be better, after interviewing the last actor.

He smiled and kissed Anne on the face when he went out, and after greeting Madeleine, he chatted with McCauley for about ten minutes.

After making sure that he was no longer nervous, he took him in for an audition.

The final result is still very good, at least in name they are all assistants, but in fact it is the producer, director, casting director and cinematography, and they are not rejected immediately.
