Chatty Hollywood

Chapter 379 College Freshmen

After the 21st century, with the expansion of Chinese university enrollment, China's software and animation industry has experienced a blowout in available human resources.

Although high-end talents are still unable to catch up with the world's top level due to insufficient time accumulation and imperfect training mechanisms.

But in terms of basic talents, China has done what it does best -

Cabbage price!

Programmers and artists, who have always been regarded as mid-to-high-end technical jobs in the United States, can basically be wholesaled and mass-produced in China.

Although the level is average, it can’t stand up to the large base!

Even in the later period, "coders" and "artists" have replaced the more high-end-sounding "programmers" and "artists" and have become synonymous with practitioners in these two industries in China.

Under such circumstances, China, which has abundant mid- to low-end human resources and relatively low costs, has become the best outsourcing market for many software and animation producers in Europe and the United States.

For example, Disney's animated films often outsource some less difficult work that does not involve confidentiality to Chinese outsourcers.

In the software industry, there is even a god-like rumor——

Legend has it that in an American software company, there was an extremely powerful programmer. Not only is he proficient in all programming languages ​​on the front and back ends, but his work efficiency is unrivaled.

He can often finish tasks that others have to work very hard to complete, and the remaining time is even enough for him to go on vacation and have fun.

The only problem with this guy is that he particularly likes to work at home, and his work efficiency suddenly drops significantly during some special times, such as the Chinese New Year.

Over time, the boss also became suspicious.

He secretly checked the communication records of this person on the company's computer and found that he often contacted a software company in Shenyang, China...

Then, the truth finally came out——

It turns out that this guy outsourced all his work to this Chinese software company a long time ago. All he has to do every day is to check the progress with this Chinese company.

Because this Chinese company has many programmers, they are naturally proficient in multiple languages, and if multiple people work, they will naturally work faster than one person...

What’s more funny is that based on his salary level in the United States, after he outsources his work, he can still have about half of his money left to enjoy life...

This story has no ending.

After the boss discovered the secret, no one knew whether he was fired directly or whether his boss adjusted his job to specifically manage outsourcing matters.

In fact, even the story itself smacks of exaggeration.

A real comparison of the income levels between China and the United States. The salary of an American programmer is enough to hire a group of Chinese programmers to work for him. Although it is not impossible, it is not realistic to achieve such a leisurely program.

But it may not be without reason.

Just like the rumors once popular in China that "the United States has a domineering little passport and Germany has a sewer of conscience", exaggerated and untrue stories actually become popular based on certain social realities.

Even the Western world has increased its efforts to explore new routes to the East because of the description of the East as "gold everywhere" in "Marco Polo Game"?

As the story spreads, people will ignore the cause and effect, interpret it according to their own needs, and gradually exaggerate it into lies.

At all times and in all over the world, there are many rumors and stories like this.

In fact, even those legends and stories about ghosts and gods probably had the same origin in the first place.

Of course, as we have just arrived in 1997, China's university enrollment expansion, a hugely influential event, has not yet begun, and Hollywood companies have not yet invested a large amount of outsourcing work in China.

However, this did not prevent Charlotte from making up a Chinese outsourcing company as an excuse.

After all, most Americans' impression of China is still at the "mysterious" stage.

Therefore, Charlotte's excuse is enough to deal with her employees.

As for the IRS, although it is extremely powerful and Charlotte’s outsourcing business is not easy to disguise, there is also the Cayman Islands, a paradise for tax avoidance and skinny companies!

When filming "Sleepy Hollow" before, Charlotte used the business registration mechanism there to play the game of left-handed versus right-handed. Isn't it time to do it again?

What's more, there will be many Chinese companies registered in the Cayman Islands in the future.

——Legal tax avoidance, everyone likes it.

In particular, special shareholding companies owned by the bosses of some large companies are often registered in the Cayman Islands, like a certain degree...

Anyway, with Charlotte's true and false words, the employees of Spectre Studio accepted the fact that their studio had a Chinese outsourcer.

As for the core personnel such as Lao Qiang and Addison Yang, they had already been told about the ghosts by Charlotte, so naturally they would not have any questions about it.

Charlotte's focus of work, after the Christmas holiday, once again shifted to the post-production of "Hell Detective".

On the other hand, "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" also appeared in the ABC TV network's program preview...

**********

“I can finally see it today!”

Sitting in front of the TV in the dormitory, Emily whispered.

As a lover of horror films and a big fan of director Charlotte, the little girl has always been very concerned about the developments of Spectre Studio, so naturally she will not let go of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone".

Although she was a little curious about why a movie studio would suddenly shoot a TV animation, and she didn't 100% believe that the other party could do it well, as a qualified fan, Emily came to watch it as soon as possible.

Of course, there may be an error in the previous description, that is, Emily is no longer a "little girl"——

Not long after "The Sixth Sense" was released, Emily entered Stanford University with a fairly good SAT score. Now she is a college student and a grown up girl.

——Although, with Alimi's grades, especially her math scores, it is actually a bit reluctant to enter this prestigious school.

But fortunately, there is a recommendation letter system in the United States that allows blatant cheating.

Although Emily's father usually seems unreliable, his connections are really wild. He found a relatively strong recommender for his daughter, which suddenly bridged the gap between Emily's grades and Stanford.

Of course, Emily's SAT scores were actually quite good, which was also an important reason why she was accepted by Stanford.

At least Emily's math teacher, Andrew Sparks, is quite satisfied with her results.

The only thing that Teacher Andrew couldn't accept was the major that Emily chose after entering Stanford——

Yes, this girl really chose the accounting major because of her momentary feelings while watching the Oscars, and she was actually selected!

This can be regarded as an ideal brought into reality!

Although Teacher Andrew feels that with Emily’s poor math scores, studying accounting will definitely make her suffer...

But anyway, Emily is now a college student.

She is currently squatting in front of the TV in her university dormitory, waiting for the broadcast of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone"...
