Chapter 1310 Company Party
Women are more aggressive than men in doing things. We just decided to open an online store, but we don’t know how to open it. Li Li is going to Yiwu and other places to investigate the small clothing market.
She said she wanted to learn about the equipment and employees of these small clothing factories to see if they could produce the styles of clothes she needs.
This is obviously a serious distrust of the domestic manufacturing industry. What is the style of clothing? Everyone knows that the speed of manufacturing in China is generally proportional to the speed of Party A’s payment. Moreover, as long as the money is in place, the quality is just right.
“The company’s plan for celebrities to invest in movies has been approved. Do you want to take a look?” The next day, Yang Dongxu sent Li Li to the plane to Zhejiang Province. As soon as he arrived at the company, Liu Zongsheng took a document to the office.
“You can discuss it in a meeting. You have the right to sign for such an investment. You don’t need me to sign. Are there many people who want to make their own movies?” Yang Dongxu couldn’t help asking.
“On the contrary, after the general framework of this plan was approved, I revealed some of it to the outside world. As a result, the number of big names who planned to make their own movies has decreased a lot compared to before.” Liu Zongsheng said with a smile.
"It's normal. After all, the son doesn't feel bad about selling his father's land. Now it's his turn to pay, so he should be cautious." Yang Dongxu said casually.
The dream of being a director is still very tempting for actors. After all, in this era of face, who doesn't want to be called a "great talent"?
In fact, at the beginning, only a few big names had this idea. In Asia, they are already the top stars. If they want to move forward, they can only rush to the world.
But now, even if Haina has opened up the situation in Hollywood, it still basically uses European and American artists. It is still very difficult for Asian stars to gain recognition in the European and American markets, so this road still seems a bit far away.
So acting has reached its peak, and singing performance is just like that. So they naturally thought that they have been acting for so many years, why not direct a movie.
As a result, when Haina artists occasionally gathered privately to keep in touch, a big star mentioned this matter. Instantly, many artists were moved together. After all, they are very experienced in acting, and directors, don't just direct a little on the spot. If they can succeed, there will undoubtedly be another way.
So these people gathered together and intentionally or unintentionally tested the ideas of the company's top management. After all, the company's top management would give some new directors a sum of money every year to make movies, and while training their own directors, they would also bet on whether there would be a hit to make money.
It's all gambling anyway, so why not bet on yourself? At least I am more or less a well-known actor. If I direct and act in a movie myself, I will have a certain box office appeal.
Basically, there are not many people who really want to be a director, or who are really talented to be a director. Most of them are just joining in the fun. The company's money is used to make movies. If it succeeds, I will open up another way. If it doesn't succeed, I will continue to be my own artist. Anyway, I won't lose anything.
But once this plan came out, it undoubtedly made many people retreat instantly. After all, he felt pain when spending his own money, and it seemed that being a director and filming a movie was not that simple after thinking about it carefully. He obviously still had many shortcomings.
Anyway, after this regulation is formulated by the company, it will not be cancelled for a long time. So I'd better make movies first to accumulate more experience, and then become a director later.
"Did you know this would be the result?" Liu Zongsheng asked with a smile.
This matter gave him a headache for several days. After all, they were all cash cows that could make money for the company. Suddenly, they had such a common demand. If they were not handled well, it would definitely affect the relationship between these artists and the company.
Yang Dongxu shrugged and said nothing.
"The boss is worthy of being the boss. I am impressed by this little effort." Liu Zongsheng gave him a thumbs up, and Yang Dongxu rolled his eyes at him.
So he also knew that he should talk about business tactfully. His boss was in a hurry to deal with the company's affairs every day and then leave. He had no time to listen to him nagging here.
"It's like this. Hua Zai wants to be a director, but he is not investing personally. Instead, he plans to let his company cooperate with our company, so during the filming, he wants to use people from his own company for some of the roles."
"Just follow the normal cooperation standards. Don't think about it so complicatedly. To analyze it specifically, we just pay a little money to make these cash cows happy. Whether they can realize their dreams is a matter of their own ability.
So since they are now taking the lion's share of the filming, they are the capital party. Since they are the capital party, who to find as the director, which script to shoot, and who to use as the protagonist, it is naturally up to him. To put it bluntly, we are just a runner-up."
"Of course I understand the reason, but this kind of running with the Haina signboard, although we don't invest much money, the signboard is priceless." Liu Zongsheng is a little entangled.
After all, the works that can be hung with Haina Film and Television Investment are basically works with box office guarantees. So in this matter, although the funds invested by Haina are small, it is true that the other party can use this signboard to make money. At that time, it is still Haina's own reputation that is lost.
"I have overlooked this matter." Yang Dongxu rubbed his chin, "How about this, we just pay the money without putting our names on the company, or we can set up a separate shell company.
All funds are in the name of this company. When the movie subtitles play the name of the investor and the company, the name of this company will also be played. "
"This is a way, just because I'm afraid those big names won't agree."
"The reasons for my disagreement are twofold. One is that I have no confidence in my work and want Haina to accompany me. The other is that I obviously want to use Haina's brand to make money. Why does such a big shot still stay in the company? Chinese New Year. ?"
"It's clear." Liu Zongsheng clapped his hands and stood up.
What he wants is this sentence from his big boss. After all, the big names making demands on the company are basically shareholders of the company. Although they are holding options, they are also shareholders. So sometimes he, the CEO, has too many constraints when it comes to doing things.
Now that the big boss has spoken, he naturally has no worries. If something really happens, just get out of here. Anyway, Heiner is not missing one or two people. Even if you are a big name, Heiner has already laid a golden sign in the hearts of the audience that his works speak for themselves. He really doesn't worry about you whether you want to go or not.
"By the way, the annual financial report of BS Company in South Korea has come out. Do you want to take a look?"
"Manager Li came to Yanjing?"
"That's not the case. I just sent the financial report over as usual. Then after a while, the person in charge there, Li Xiuman, brought his team to the head office for an annual meeting.
This annual meeting is in addition to the company's senior management meeting to study the company's strategy and plans for tomorrow. Someone suggested that we hold a company party, the kind that would be filmed for TV.
When the time comes, let the Korean branch come up with a few shows, and the American branch bring in a few Hollywood stars, and a party will be put together.
In the past few years, domestic entertainment companies, media companies, and modeling agencies have mushroomed like mushrooms after a rain. We can’t just take pictures and ignore these things. It's time to take advantage of this annual party to show off the majesty of the leading boss. "
"This is a good idea." Yang Dongxu nodded: "Let's have a meeting to draw up a plan. If there are no problems, let the finance department approve the funds."
"It doesn't cost much. It doesn't cost much to rent a gymnasium for the party venue. It doesn't cost much to rent the artists ourselves." Liu Zongsheng said with a smile.
"If it's a TV broadcast, are there any TV stations interested?"
"This is the least to worry about, after all, Haina's status is here. And that's not counting those Korean stars and international stars from Hollywood.
As for our own celebrities, they are all big names, so if we hold a party, the ratings will not be bad. I'm also afraid that when the news gets out, those TV stations will fight over the broadcast rights. "Liu Zongsheng is very confident.
"It's expanded." Yang Dongxu joked: "Well, under the same conditions, the broadcasting rights can be given priority to CCTV. After all, CCTV's status in the hearts of the audience is basically equivalent to the official one.
Their coming to broadcast our party can also improve our company's status in the minds of the audience. Secondly, the broadcasting rights can be given to provincial satellite TV stations and sold to two TV stations. You can discuss this carefully.
Forget about the small local TV stations. Don't air our programs at that time. They will insert some advertisements for dog-skin plasters and lower our quality. By the way, ask those big companies if there are any sponsors. If they are sponsored, you may not only spend no money but also make a fortune. "
"Are we still looking for someone to sponsor our company's annual party?" Liu Zongsheng was a little dazed.
Isn't sponsorship like this a superficial thing done by companies that can't reveal the truth and want to save face?
"It's so weird, what's wrong with asking for sponsorship? It's a reason for our celebrities to endorse others. But it's really a bit unclassy to make money through this matter.
In this case, you can ask if anyone sponsors our star-studded annual gala. If so, the sponsorship fee will definitely be higher. Otherwise, I would be sorry for the worth of us celebrities, and all the sponsorship money received will be donated to the Runyu Foundation for charity.
Our celebrities can just treat it as a free charity performance at their annual meeting, which can be regarded as a contribution to charity. "The more Yang Dongxu talked about it, the more he felt that this method was good.
Although Liu Zongsheng felt a little uncomfortable, after listening to what his big boss said, it seemed that there were only advantages and no disadvantages in doing so, and he would have gained both face and face. There seems to be no reason to chew.
As for the weird feeling in my heart that I can't turn around and play with, just keep it in my heart and don't say it out loud. Anyway, it's not the first time I've felt like this. My boss can always make a fool of himself unintentionally.
"Then if we do this, will the host need to borrow a few from CCTV?"
"This is not necessary. Since it is the company's annual meeting, it cannot be as formal as the Spring Festival Gala. Otherwise, it will be almost the end of the year after the annual meeting. What will you do if you ask others to attend the Spring Festival Gala? There are several of our artists attending every year. What’s the quota for the Spring Festival Gala?
So the atmosphere should be made more cheerful, as long as no big accidents occur during rehearsals or anything like that. Occasionally some small accidents or mistakes are more friendly to the people. After all, we are a company, not an official. "
