Simon gave a lot of opinions. Considering factors such as technology, time and cost, not all of them could be used this time. This meeting at Acrab headquarters only focused on the final additional modifications to "Legend of Paradise". After nearly three hours, it can only be roughly determined.
The meeting ended, and it was past seven o'clock in the afternoon.
Chen Qing did not return to the Itaewon mansion on the north bank of the Han River. Instead, she went to her boss's manor in the mountains on the southeastern outskirts of Seoul.
I've heard a saying that when couples get together for a long time, they will not only have similarities in appearance, but also become more and more similar in behavior and habits. Chen Qing has no intention of competing with Janet for a seat, and there is no trend of getting married for the time being. However, as the woman of her own boss, she has begun to converge with her boss in her behavior style.
For example, she now also likes to live in a more spacious residence.
This is actually not easy.
Living in a house that is open enough to make echoes requires a strong psychological quality. According to Chinese Feng Shui theory, a house that is too big cannot easily store wind and gather energy.
Chen Qing thinks that this is also a kind of exercise.
This time, he brought Jiang Shanwu with him, in order to coordinate the selection of the Wei family's team of attendants. Chen Qing returned to the manor in the southeastern suburbs of Seoul, which is already in Gyeonggi Province, South Korea. Jiang Shanwu immediately came to welcome her, saying that the latest group of attendants Candidates are already waiting.
Chen Qing was not in a hurry and went to take a shower and change clothes first.
Jiang Shanwu followed Chen Qing to take a bath, and also mentioned that Zheng Mengjiu from Hyundai Group had just finalized the purchase of a piece of land nearby to build a property, and asked someone to say hello.
Chen Qing said she knew it and expected it.
Just like the properties near the Maoer Hutong mansion in Beijing were bought by many interested people, in order to be neighbors with Simon Westeros, many Korean chaebol families have recently begun to enclose land around it.
It is conceivable that this area, which was originally ignored, will soon become the top wealthy area in South Korea like Itaewon.
After taking a bath and having a slow dinner, Chen Qing came to a small hall in the villa. She said that small nature is relatively speaking. The area of more than 100 square meters is very suitable for a gathering of a few people. At this time, 31 people were waiting here. The two girls are already wearing the standard uniforms of Wei family attendants. In addition, they are similar in height. At first glance, they give people a very comfortable and uniform feeling.
Chen Qing knew that her boss liked this very much.
It is planned to select 300 people in South Korea. The ratio of female maids to female guards is two to one. This is the fourth batch. The ages are between 18 and 28 years old. Therefore, in addition to being uniform, if you distinguish carefully, you can see that there are some temperaments. A young girl and a graceful young woman, with different temperaments.
This was Chen Qing's decision after suggesting it to her boss.
If you want to engage in scientific research in the future, the age range of the sample will be larger, which will definitely increase the diversity.
It just so happens that the current turmoil in South Korea, coupled with the layout of the Westeros system here, makes it very convenient to select people. Files are collected directly from various universities and related companies, and interview invitations are sent to qualified candidates after screening. At this point, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is only one in a thousand, and it has not been finalized. It will take three months of training. It is difficult to say how many will be left in the end.
Taking the file list handed over by Jiang Shan Wu, Chen Qing sat down on the sofa on the side of the small hall, turned a page, and said to Jiang Shan Wu: "Let's start, let each of them introduce themselves."
Jiang Shanwu nodded and motioned to the girls standing in several rows in the hall.
According to the order in Chen Qing's information, a girl who looked like she should be in her twenties and had a capable temperament soon came out and bowed to Chen Qing: "Hello, senior, my name is Jin Somin. I am 26 years old. I graduated from Ewha University in Mathematics. Professional, previously worked as a researcher at the Korea Institute of Science and Technology... "
After Jin Sumin made a clear and skillful introduction, she looked at Chen Qing who was leaning leisurely on the sofa and looking at the information in front of her. After waiting for a moment, she took the initiative and said: "Senior, may I know how to address you?"
Chen Qing is reading Jin Somin’s personality assessment.
This is a very important item in the selection of Wei family attendants. It does not mean that all obedient girls must be selected. Simon does not like to be surrounded by docile to mechanical little sheep. It is just to gain a deeper understanding so that he can arrange the right one. Work.
Chen Qing's personality assessment result of Jin Somin is a typical leadership personality, strong, rational, dominant, and even aggressive.
That's not even the point.
The key is that this person studied mathematics. He entered school at the age of 18 and received a doctorate in only six years.
Chen Qing still didn't find it strange.
Based on her understanding of the mathematics major, this circle is really dependent on God. The gap in IQ cannot be made up by hard work. Those with excellent IQ can get a doctorate in a leisurely way, while those with average qualifications can get a doctorate. Diligent, the results will not be very good.
The problem lies in the combination of the two.
A mathematician's brain coupled with a strong leadership personality, and a genius-level emotional intelligence score of 145 points... this is also a fairy.
Chen Qing's first thought was to rinse it off.
Think about it or give up.
You can't be so unsure of yourself, right
However, when he heard Jin Sumin taking the initiative to test him, Chen Qing did not respond and just ignored it. He turned the page of the information in his hand and gestured to Jiang Shanwu beside him. Jiang Shanwu did not look at Jin Sumin and said, "Next one."
Hearing what Jiang Shanwu said, Jin Sumin showed no displeasure at being ignored and took the initiative to retreat with a calm expression.
However, some girls in the crowd felt a little uneasy due to this atmosphere.
It is inevitable to recall what happened during this time.
Suddenly, they received a puzzling invitation for an interview. The position was a senior life assistant. They all had brains, and they quickly understood the meaning behind the title. Nanny, maid, that's about it.
Even though the current employment situation in South Korea is quite severe, the first reaction of many girls is still to refuse.
After all, those who can be selected for interviews will basically have certain advantages in appearance and brains.
However, the problem is that the salary stated in the invitation is too high. The annual salary is 120 million won, which is 10 million won per month. Relatively speaking, the average annual salary in South Korea in 1997 was only 26 million won, and the median income was even lower, only 18 million won. Not to mention that the widespread layoffs and salary cuts in the context of the current economic crisis have inevitably significantly compressed this number.
Therefore, many girls inevitably feel that this is a scam at first.
How can such a good thing happen
However, although I don’t know exactly who is recruiting senior life assistants, after asking around, I found that this interview was confirmed by the unit around me, so let’s give it a try.
After trying it, the strict and harsh selection process completely made them no longer doubt that an annual salary of 100 million won is obviously not that easy to get.
Here we are again.
They still don’t know who they will serve specifically, but they know that there is another level, a three-month training, and if they pass, they can finally sign the agreement.
Fortunately, after passing the initial screening, they have received a subsidy of 10 million won. At the same time, they also said that during the three-month training period, they will also be paid according to the agreed salary.
In general, even if they are not selected in the end, they will still receive 40 million won. Not to mention the current students among them, even for the salaried workers among the candidates, it is generally their income in the past two years or so.
Of course, after confirming that they can get such a sum of money, the girls who are candidates will inevitably become more eager to actually get the job.
Because the treatment is really good.
Just recently, they all moved to a dormitory on the bank of the Han River in Jiangnan District. It was called a dormitory, but it was actually an entire high-end riverside building that they had not dared to buy on their own unless they married a rich man. View apartment, in the past, the monthly salary of most candidates was not enough to cover the rent of that apartment.
Now I just live in it casually.
Today, when we come to this quiet and luxurious manor hidden in the mountains, most candidates will inevitably feel even better.
You must get this job.
Chen Qing flipped through the information and listened to the self-introductions flowing in her ears. She could easily feel the enthusiasm of some girls from their expressions and tones. She probably understood the reason, but also knew that if these girls knew what they were going to do next, The treatment will only get crazier.
After all, what they can feel at this time is only a small part of the treatment that the Wei family's servants have.
Just to mention one thing, the Wei family maids even have the right to use private jets, even if the number of times is different per year for different levels, but this kind of treatment that even rich people cannot enjoy is simply unimaginable for ordinary people.
31 girls, passed through quickly.
Chen Qing didn't say much, and directly asked Jiang Shanwu to take everyone away again. This action seemed a bit redundant, but it was considered Chen Qing's own ploy.
According to my boss, this is called training.
After finishing this work, I went to the study to review some materials. At 10:30 in the evening, I got through the video call with my boss on time.
In Los Angeles, it was 6:30 in the morning on the same day.
Simon was jogging on the treadmill in the gym, listening to Chen Qing talk about some recent work. The focus these days is still on online games.
"Acrab, according to preliminary estimates, after re-adjusting "Legend of Paradise", there will be a closed test, and the real launch will be in September at the earliest. Boss, I will definitely not be able to catch up with the summer, but I think the end of the year is good, isn't it? ?”
Los Angeles, Point Dume Estate.
Simon heard Chen Qing mention the revised plan for "Legend of Paradise", thought about it and said: "China can launch it at the end of the year, North America, maybe earlier, maybe later. This time we still have to stagger the end of the year movie schedule, and it can't be like last year. Like Counter-Strike Online."
Simon just said without explaining more, but Chen Qing understood it roughly and couldn't help laughing: "Boss, will this affect the TV series schedule? I think it will be more serious?"
Simon also laughed: "No way, there are only 12 months in a year."
In fact, Daenerys' game department released a total of 53 new games in 1997. There are only 52 weeks in a year, which is equivalent to one game per week and a balance, which is equivalent to four to six games per month. It is released throughout the year. On continuously. In 1998, due to Simon's constant pricing, this number will exceed 70, with an average of more than 6 new games being launched every month, of various types, distributed on various game platforms, which can be called carpet coverage.
Sufficient quantity is the key to the Daenerys game department being able to support the latest growth point of Daenerys Entertainment.
Of course, the game industry actually has a very obvious 80/20 rule, just like last year's "Counter-Strike OL" and this year's "StarCraft". The profits brought by these two phenomenal games are expected to account for Daenerys' More than 60% of the entire game business, plus some other hot-selling items, basically provides 80% of the profit.
However, the truth is that only if you give enough base numbers can you form the 80-20 rule. If 7 games are released every year, the probability of a hit is absolutely different from 70 games.
After Simon and Chen Qing finished chatting, they ended the video call and got off the treadmill.
Today is another busy day.
The time is May 21st.
Thursday.
I arrived at the company in the morning and handled various routine tasks. In the afternoon, I started with an internal test film meeting.
About "High School Musical."
The film will be released on June 26, but the final cut has only been completed at this time, which is also the result of being in a hurry. In terms of cost, if it were not so rushed, it would actually cost less than 15 million. Even if Daenerys Entertainment were not in such a hurry, if it was blocked by a major label during the rating review, it would definitely disrupt the established rhythm of announcements.
Of course, the current Daenerys Entertainment does not have this problem, but it is very convenient to check other potential competitors.
After Britney Spears was dropped by Simon due to her scandalous behavior last year, the production team cast another girl, and naturally Christina Aguilera took the next step and became the first female lead, another Latina selected. Girls can only play supporting roles.
I have watched several sample films in advance. Regarding the finished film, not to mention the characters, the film as a whole is obviously different from the past. After all, it is two time and space, and Simon cannot follow it 100%.
However, from the perspective of a top filmmaker, Simon can give this movie an 8.
Next, let’s look at the market’s feedback.
Good movies may not necessarily get high box office, especially commercial movies. The key depends on whether the audience likes it or not, and even whether it fits the market environment at that time.
After the test film, a short press conference was held. Simon walked out of the conference room with everyone, and found that the petite Christina Aguilera was still standing outside, her face still looking rosy. This was the person who had just participated in the test together. The result of sitting next to Simon during the film.
Simon hasn't done anything too extraordinary, and Simon is still in the stage of recuperating his energy recently.
He didn't rush the girl to leave, but took her to his office. Simon sat down behind his desk. When he saw the girl, he was about to get into his arms. He smiled and patted her on the head.
The little girl thought she understood, and was about to duck under the table. Simon smiled and stopped her, motioning to the table: "Come on, use it as a decoration for me."
