Chapter 1123 The Road Is Your Own Choice

After dinner, Ran Feifei took Yu Feihong to go shopping, while Yang Dongxu went to Haina.

Haina's headquarters building is still under construction and is expected to be put into use in the first half of next year, that is, the first half of 2004. The specific day it will open to the public depends on the specific construction period, and you may have to choose a good day.

The headquarters building that Heiner is building is neither Big Pants nor Optimus Prime, so it is not a unique building. But it is definitely a landmark building because it has a total of seventy-eight floors.

Located in Chaoyang District, where the famous Chaoyang people were located in later generations, it is an absolute landmark building. In fact, when we first started collecting information on how to build the headquarters building.

Yang Dongxu was thinking about making the headquarters building as individual and fashionable as the Hurricane Architectural Headquarters. But after listening to the opinions of people below, compared to the too advanced hurricane building headquarters, skyscrapers are what everyone likes now.

What's more important is that if it were built like the Hurricane Building Headquarters, it would take up a lot of space. There are basically no such large plots of land in the city center.

But it would be too shabby if you built such a building in the suburbs, so in the end we decided to build it in the style of a skyscraper.

"Is the handover clear over there?" Yang Dongxu came to the company and walked into Liu Zongsheng's office area.

Currently, Haina has two locations, one of which is at Guomao. The other one is the special training class. The Guomao side basically focuses on music, and most of the people who come are big-name artists from the company. Newcomers are basically concentrated in the special training class.

"The handover has been completed, but the opinion from Xuri Technology is that several of them do not meet the requirements and are ready to be laid off." Liu Zongsheng said a little embarrassed.

After all, my big boss paid great attention to online music from the beginning, but he never got it right. Now it is packaged and handed over to Xuri Technology. As a result, they are very dissatisfied with the person in charge of this project.

"Now that the handover has been completed, the opinions of Rising Sun Technology shall prevail." Yang Dongxu said.

He doesn't think much of the company's recruitment and layoffs. After all, the company is not a charity hall where everyone who comes in has to be given a meal. Especially for a rapidly rising company like Xuri Technology, there are many people who can't keep up.

If you can still do some logistical chores, you can still keep your job. Otherwise, you will definitely be fired, let alone the company being unkind. It's a favor enough to give you three months' severance compensation.

Many companies will directly transfer you to an idle position, and then make all kinds of difficulties to make you resign voluntarily, instead of dismissing you without even giving compensation.

"The copyrights for movies, TV shows and songs must also be sorted out. At the same time, our company's legal preparations must be made. We will definitely be very busy by then."

The music website and video website Yang Dongxu was handed over to Qiu Bosong. Although he is definitely not familiar with online dramas and video websites.

However, you don’t need to be too familiar with it at the beginning, because the preliminary work is all technical input. For example, TV series, movies and music are available online. Then match the network player to improve the picture quality of movies and TV series, and adjust the sound quality of music.

These are all technical things, just leave them to the programmers. So although Qiu Bosong is not good at running video websites and music websites, he is good at managing programmers, and this is enough.

And just because he emphasized copyright, Yang Dongxu naturally wanted to make the right thing deeply rooted in people's hearts right from the start. Anyway, he didn't plan to charge at the beginning, and he even accepted the loss to make up for it.

Precisely because we plan to expand the market by losing money without charging any fees, we naturally cannot allow piracy to come in and mess up the market. Therefore, Yang Dongxu is prepared to treat every family as a family and shut down all those who dare to pirate his own products.

"This is not a big problem. The legal department is best at this." Liu Zongsheng said.

He is not worried at all about lawsuits over copyright disputes. After all, as the largest entertainment company, Heiner has never had a shortage of copyright disputes. The legal department is already well versed in taking charge of this matter.

"How are the preparations for the joint venture movie mentioned earlier?" Yang Dongxu asked.

Since it was said that making joint venture movies would give the higher-ups an attitude, it must be done. Yang Dongxu never discounts what he has said, although he is going to play some tricks here and change his left hand to his right hand.

"Three scripts have been selected, and TVB is also selecting them. But two months have passed since the second half of the year. Since it is a movie to express my stance to the higher authorities, it cannot be completed in a hurry in a month or two, which makes people feel like they are coping.

So I discussed it with TVB and tried to make two or three films to be released before the year before. The rest will be left to next year. "

"It's up to you, I have no objection. What about the special training class? How are those students doing?"

"The situation couldn't be better." Liu Zongsheng said with a smile on his face: "As expected of being picked by the boss, there are really many good talents among our first batch of special training class students.

And there are a few who are particularly able to endure hardships, and their acting skills are always improving. Some have already begun to take on important roles. If nothing else, next year we will be able to bring out a few stars who can challenge the first-tier level. Others can also be cultivated one after another. "

Liu Zongsheng who spoke was flattering.

"Then train them well and don't be afraid of spending resources. Anyway, the contracts we sign are all option-based. If they become popular, the company will gain the most, but keep a close eye on their private lives and don't cause any trouble."

Yang Dongxu is naturally relieved about the people he selected, not just the first-tier ones. Those people he personally selected are all first-tier ones, and they are all super popular first-tier ones. Although no one can reach the height of superstars in the end.

But no one else in the entertainment industry in the future can reach it, after all, today's entertainment industry is different from that in the 1980s and 1990s. Even if it is a super popular first-tier, even if it is the super box office champion Wu Jing, compared with superstars like Alan Tam and Leslie Cheung in the 1980s and 1990s, it always feels a little bit short.

In short, the times are different. Even if they stand in the same place in the end, the praise they receive and the scenery they see are not exactly the same.

"There are indeed a few restless ones in their private lives." Liu Zongsheng frowned when talking about the private lives of the students in the special training class.

"Oh?" Yang Dongxu looked at Liu Zongsheng.

"The male actors are all young people, and dating is still under control for the time being. But there are a few female stars who have close contacts with some wealthy businessmen, which is a bit difficult to deal with." Liu Zongsheng said.

Yang Dongxu raised his eyebrows. In fact, if it is reasonable to say that whether it is a male actor or a female actor, as long as they are in love, the threat is the same.

The reason why Liu Zongsheng separated the two was naturally because the male actor liked an ordinary person or a little model. Even if it was exposed, the power of Haina Company could suppress it and it was within the controllable range.

But the level of female stars tied to rich businessmen is different. Nowadays, rich businessmen basically have money in their hands and people behind them. Haina is awesome, but no matter how awesome you are, can you teach a lesson to the rich businessmen who are chasing female stars?

Yang Dongxu frowned and pondered for a moment, then shook his head: "Forget it, you should know the limits yourself. If they really have tied to rich businessmen and are willing to pay the penalty, then we will part ways in peace.

Anyway, training them is also for the company to make money, it's just an early harvest and a long-term investment. As for those who have no ability to play with fire, but have to play and bring negative impact to the company. Find a few who jump the most and ban them directly."

Although Yang Dongxu is very uncomfortable with the unspoken rules in this circle, you have to say that this is the norm. Whether it is male actors or female actors accompanying investors for dinner and currying favor with producers, everyone is used to it anyway.

Haina has given these people enough protection, but they insist on climbing up in this way, and they feel that it is faster. Then you have to bear the consequences of your own choice.

So Yang Dongxu also figured it out. If these people really have the ability to tie up rich women or wealthy businessmen, no matter whether they are rich women or wealthy businessmen, they will pay them liquidated damages. Or simply rich businessmen or rich women invest in them.

He has no objection. Anyway, it is all business, and Yang Dongxu also understands the principle of living in harmony with the world. But he doesn't have the ability to be played by others and kicked away. More importantly, it is exposed that Haina has suffered losses. Then Yang Dongxu doesn't mind killing two chickens to show others.

As for whether doing so is adding insult to injury, Yang Dongxu will give such people two words hehe

"There is another thing. Recently, the security department below reported that there seem to be some unclean people who frequently contact our artists.

It's easy to say for old artists. They have all been through hard work and know how to deal with it. Self-control is also good. But some of those newcomers are not so self-controlled."

"Hmm?" Yang Dongxu narrowed his eyes.

The unclean people in this circle are a specific reference to some people. For example, those who pimp, those who cheat for money and sex, and even worse, those who seduce artists to fall into depravity, such as taking drugs!

This is not about those artists talking about love affairs with rich women or wealthy businessmen. To put it bluntly, being kept by rich women and wealthy businessmen is to make money.

But if you get involved with these unclean people, they will crawl on you and suck your blood. What's more important is that these people put their hands into Haina's bowl and want to turn the cash cow cultivated by Haina into their own cash cow, which is undoubtedly a problem that touches the bottom line.

Yang Dongxu can choose to turn a blind eye to those so-called love affairs. After all, he has seen through this circle over the years. Besides, he and Chen Hong are also in a close relationship, so the eldest brother doesn't say the second brother.

But someone puts a spoon into his pot to eat meat, and more importantly, it is a dung spoon, not only to scoop meat but also disgusting. It is absolutely intolerable.

"Do you know who the other party is?" Yang Dongxu asked with a gloomy face.

"I have asked my subordinates to keep an eye on it, and there is no specific news yet. However, there are some young masters involved, and it will be troublesome if a fight really breaks out." This was undoubtedly the reason why Liu Zongsheng brought up this matter alone to discuss it with Yang Dongxu.
