America: Starting with the acquisition of MGM

Chapter 31 Those sequelae

The United States is a capitalist country and the largest capitalist country in the world, but it is also a country that attaches great importance to workers' rights.

Here, the existence of labor unions is really not a joke, but will actually protect the interests of employees. Among them, the eight-hour working day is strictly followed and written into the law.

Here, if the company violates the legitimate rights and interests of employees, the labor union can come forward to negotiate with the company.

If the negotiation fails and the legal process is slow, then I'm sorry, you may have to face a strike.

Once a strike breaks out, most companies will be the first to compromise, and go through the process of compensating, apologizing, and improving benefits.

After all, making money, business, kneel down when you should, don’t shudder!

It's only a few dollars to pay these poor people more wages, and how much compensation will be incurred if the start of work is delayed for one day. The accounts must be calculated clearly.

Therefore, in Hollywood, unless there are special circumstances, people will have holidays on weekends. Even the crew is the same. They clock in and get off work at the same time, and generally never work overtime.

If you really need to work overtime, you will definitely be paid double wages. If you don't, you'll have to wait for the union to cause trouble.

At this time, a Lincoln Cross Country was running on the road, heading towards Anaheim. There was a man and a woman sitting in the car, it was Eric and Gal Gadot.

"I have never been to Disneyland. I heard that it is every child's dream place." Gal Gadot said with hope.

“Isn’t there a Disneyland in Israel?”

"No, I heard that it was originally planned to be built, but I don't know why it didn't happen. This is a matter for the government and businessmen, not something we should be concerned about."

"Then this time is the right time. We can relax for two days and you can have fun. You have been in the United States for so long and you haven't seen the scenery yet."

Gadot pouted: "There's no time at all, okay, you just kidnapped me here and just ignored me. It's been almost a month and we've only met twice."

"It's okay if we don't see each other, but we actually arranged work in the distance. Judy found a teacher for Refaeli and me. We learned acting in the morning and practiced bodybuilding in the afternoon."

"I finally had a rest after a day of practice, and she often took us to the set to observe. I went to the set of "Sharknado" eight times."

Eric laughed loudly: "There is nothing we can do about it. After all, you have never been exposed to acting, and there is not much time left to join the group, so we can only use a surprise approach."

What Judy does Eric knows very well that it is not enough to just learn about acting, you must observe and learn on the spot.

For example, no matter how much I talk about things like positioning and lenses, it’s better to try them out in person.

An experienced actor may make a seemingly inadvertent move, maybe just half a step, but he can show his frontal face in the camera, and the audience cannot tell that it is intentional.

As for those newbies who were very good at theoretical studies in school, it is common for them to have a black eye when they arrive on the set, and they are scolded and can't even find them.

Of course, Eric only lets them go to the scene to observe and learn, and will never let them appear in bad movies. The reputation must always be maintained.

Gal Gadot sighed: "I know you do it for my own good, but it feels like going back to school. I don't think anyone likes this feeling, except Hermione Granger."

Speaking of going to school, Eric looked at her. The collagen on the side of her face was gurgling, as if it would bounce back when pressed, making people want to pinch it.

But after all, this girl is only 17 years old and has just graduated from high school. It stands to reason that she should go to college after the summer vacation.

Or if you were in Israel, you had to join the army, but you ended up being dragged to the United States.

"Gadot, I have something to ask your opinion on."

Gal Gadot glanced at him: "It's strange that you still know how to ask. Don't you always issue tasks directly? My boss."

As she said this, she imitated Eric's voice and yelled in a rough voice: "Gadot, your dancing can't fall behind; Gadot, you'd better find time to practice kung fu; Gadot, your experience as a model can't be improved either." Forget, you have to know how to show off your sexiness; you are just like that old man in my family, blah blah..."

Eric laughed again: "Am I that extreme?"

"Of course, you are much more extreme, just like Shylock and Grandet, trying to squeeze out the last bit of strength from others!"

"Hahaha... If I were Grandet, I wouldn't take you out to play today, and my requirements for Refaeli are not so high. Don't you understand?"

Gal Gadot curled her lips, but she was very happy in her heart. Eric obviously valued himself more than Refaeli.

"Gadot, let's talk about that. You are 17 years old now. As an Israeli, you are faced with two questions. One is that you should be serving in the military next year, and the other is do you plan to go to college?"

The car became quiet, and Gal Gadot thought for a moment and said, "This is also what I'm worried about. In my country, military service is mandatory. I'm afraid I will have to go back after filming Transformers."

"No, I'm asking, do you want to serve in the military?"

Gal Gadot was stunned for a moment: "Except for the pressure of life, I don't think anyone is willing."

"I understand, then leave it to me. I can't allow you to disappear for two years as soon as you become popular."

"What do you want?"

Eric smiled: "It's very simple. Apply for U.S. citizenship for you, make you a dual-citizen holder, and then choose to study at university here."

"In this case, although Israel still has the right to draft you into the army, since you are studying abroad and you are a dual citizen, the time to enlist in the army can be postponed until the end of your studies."

"Of course it's not enough to study for an undergraduate degree. You need to continue your studies and extend your time in school for ten to eight years. When you finish your studies, you have become an assistant professor at the school and are over the age limit, so your enlistment in the army will be automatically cancelled. "

Gal Gadot was a little confused: "Is this still possible?"

"Why not? I asked someone to consult a lawyer. Many powerful people in your country do this. The law only restricts those who are incompetent."

“Okay, but can I become a naturalized citizen so quickly?”!

"Hahaha Gadot, you still don't understand that the law will always restrict people who are incompetent, especially in the United States!"

"I suggest you study acting. The academic pressure is not too high and graduation will not be a problem. The University of Southern California is good."

Gal Gadot nodded: "When I got on that plane, I had no choice. Eric, I just listened to you. There was no one else to give me advice anyway."

Along the way, Disneyland in California is very close to Los Angeles, only 30 kilometers away. It didn't take long for the two of them to reach their destination.

"Wow...I've wanted to come to this castle for a long time."

"Then let's relax. I've been busy for so long, and I don't want to worry about the box office or contracts anymore. We'll talk about everything on Monday!"
