After a night's rest in the hotel, the next morning, I came to New York's JFK International Airport and took a flight to Modu at 10:10 to return to China.

Of course, I brought too many things, and I was slaughtered when I passed through customs.

There is no way that one person can only have a tax-free quota of 5,000 yuan!

The total tax-free quota for Lei Weidong and his entourage is only 15,000 yuan, which is not enough for a fraction of a sable fur coat.

Fortunately, Li Yan had already thought of this!

Except for the tax-free range, everything that can be worn on the body such as gold and silver is carried on the body, and the extra things are purchased in the name of the company and counted into the cost of film shooting.

Although it is somewhat counterintuitive, it can be said that the film company bought mink coats as shooting props.

It can also reflect the company's spirit of excellence.

Anyway, there is a difference between having a company and not having a company!

No wonder those stars are keen to open studios in the future, but the tax gap is too big.

------

"Director Lei, Mr. Li, welcome back!"

Chen Xiaoer, who came to pick up the airport, looked at Lei Weidong and the others and laughed.

The success of "Nightclub" has completely dispersed the dark clouds over the head of such a small production company as Panda Pictures!

"I should have gone to Toronto with you to see where you looked!"

I don't know exactly what happened!

But through Jin Sanye's description, Chen Xiaoer also knows some insiders, and it can be said that the experience of Lei Weidong and others in Toronto is a legend, which can be used to make movies.

Because even the movie doesn't dare to describe it, a fledgling young man sold millions of dollars in his first movie.

"To be honest, I can't believe the Toronto experience now, it's more magical than a dream!" Ada nodded, "I didn't expect us to really succeed!"

"Yes, congratulations to Director Lei, he became a multimillionaire so easily, and he started from scratch!" Fan Bin, who had been standing behind Chen Xiaoer, stood up at this time and said a little sourly.

"If Bin Bin is envious of joining Panda Pictures, I guarantee that you will be a millionaire or even a billionaire in less than ten years!" Looking at Fan Bin's blown-up skin, Lei Weidong tempted.

"Director Lei, Miss Fan took 200,000 yuan from home to redeem herself, and now she is a member of our Panda Pictures!" Chen Xiaoer whispered in Lei Weidong's ear, "I also signed a ten-year long contract!"

"Welcome, warm welcome!" Hearing that Fan Bin had joined Panda Pictures, Lei Weidong held the other party's little hand to express a warm welcome!

"Director Lei, I will count on you to give you food in the future, and I can't go back on what I said. Being held by Lei Weidong, Fan Bin's little face turned red, but Fan Ye is Fan Ye, he quietly withdrew his little hand and said softly.

"How can it, everyone is a family, don't see outside!" Lei Weidong waved his hand magnificently.

"Now that Bin Bin is here, then the heroine of the next movie will be settled, let's go back to the company first, what is there to talk about in the company, this is not the place to talk!"

"Let's go, go back to the company!"

In order to welcome Lei Weidong and Li Yan home, Chen Xiaoer not only drove the sports car, but also rented a Mercedes-Benz to pick everyone up.

Now when I heard Lei Weidong's words, I waved my hand!

A big bus stopped in front of everyone.

"Director Lei, the company has made so much money this time, do you want to give everyone a reward! And this red envelope is bigger, we won't do it if we send less!"

In the conference room of Panda Pictures, as soon as everyone sat down, Chen Xiaoer couldn't help but ask.

"This is going to ask Mr. Li and Sister Wang, they are the company's boss and treasurer, they are familiar with this part!" Lei Weidong sat in his seat, took a sip of the water cup, and said.

"Director Lei, you are modest, who doesn't know that you are the pillar of the company, everyone depends on you for food, who dares to disobey you if you speak!" Chen Xiaoer patted his ass.

"It's true that I'm the pillar of the company, but your wife is responsible for the finances, and she knows exactly how much money the company makes!" Lei Weidong played Tai Chi.

"Don't forget, the company's next plan is to be implemented, to start shooting two films, but also to plan a TV series, which is very financially stressful, and there must be detailed planning. ”

"The new movie is about to start now?" Lei Weidong's words startled Fan Bin.

It's too fast!

Although the director in Hong Kong shoots faster, a film can be completed, filmed, edited and released in one month.

But everyone knows that movies like that are basically bad movies that follow the trend!

The purpose of filming is to cheat money.

But any good movie of good quality that has not been carefully polished,

"Stop talking, be quiet!"

Seeing the noise in the conference room, Wang Yanling was unhappy and shouted into the loudspeaker.

Suddenly, the conference room was silent, and you could hear the needle falling on the ground.

"Next, I would like to invite the CEO of our company, Mr. Li to speak to everyone!" Seeing that everyone was quiet, Wang Yanling nodded and said.

"My boss is just a decoration, the main work is done by Mr. Lei, I think it's better to let Mr. Lei talk about it, and let him make a summary of our work during this time!" Li Yan kicked the ball into Lei Weidong's hand.

"Ahem! Since everyone is looking at me, I'll say a few words!"

Seeing that everyone's eyes were looking at him, Lei Weidong said directly without hypocrisy.

"Today is the first summary meeting of our Panda Pictures, and it is also a day of reunion, except for Li Bin, who couldn't catch up because of filming, everyone else came.

Since the people are very together, I will arrange the future work, here I will first say, that is, you are all veterans, I can't guarantee that you will all be billionaires in ten years, but I can guarantee that as long as you follow me, you will all be multimillionaires in ten years, and your net worth will exceed 100 million in 20 years. ”

Bang Bang Bang!

Although Lei Weidong is painting a big pie, it undoubtedly increases everyone's morale by 200 percent.

"Sister Wang, you are the company's logistics director and financial director, tell me about the specific situation of the company!"

"Then I'll report on the results of this period of time first!" Seeing Lei Weidong let himself speak, Wang Yanling stood up.

"So far, we have received a total of two payments, namely 5 million from China Film, which is the buyout of "Nightclub" in China, and 4.3 million US dollars from overseas remittance.

Now there are about 39 million funds in the company's account, which can be said to be sufficient! For this reason, Mr. Li and Mr. Lei discussed and took out 3 million to give everyone a red envelope as a reward some time ago!

"Good!"

Wang Yanling's words made the atmosphere in the conference room warm.

Now there are very few direct personnel in the company, except for Xiaojuan and Xiaohong, the two office personnel, Ada, the driver and bodyguard.

The company's senior management is also Lei Weidong, Li Yan, plus Wang Yanling and Chen Xiaoer.

At most, Li Bin, Fan Bin, Hu Ke, and Lao Guo, who have already signed a contract, and Lao Guo, who has just been fooled.

As for the makeup artists and photographers, they were all temporarily hired through Chen Xiaoer's relationship, and they left after the movie ended.

A total of 11 people are divided into three million, and even Xiaojuan and Xiaohong, who have contributed the least, can get tens of thousands of yuan, so it can be said that this red envelope is very valuable.

"I really didn't expect that Director Lei's movies are so popular overseas, since they can sell millions of dollars! Compared to his role, we are all dispensable!" Finding that he could get hundreds of thousands, the youngest Hu Ke couldn't help but say.

"That's true!" Chen Xiaoer said truthfully: "The reason why China Film bought it for five million is because "Nightclub" and "Ghost Shadow" became famous at the Toronto Film Festival, and Americans spent a lot of money to buy it, otherwise they wouldn't even be able to approve it now!"

"Brother Chen, has "Nightclub" been finalized, when will it be released!" Hearing Chen Xiaoer talk about China Film, Lei Weidong remembered that he didn't know the release time of "Nightclub".

"On October 1st National Day! Because there are no too good films, China Film put "Nightclub" into it!"

"Eleventh Golden Week, it is really a middle film, and the ability is great!"

Lei Weidong nodded, very satisfied with the schedule of "Nightclub"!

Today is the first National Day Golden Week, and it is the first time that everyone has encountered the situation of taking so many days off, and there must be many people who do not know where to play, and the situation of going to the cinema will be greatly increased.

It can be said that except for the New Year, this is the best schedule.

That is, "Nightclub" was bought out by China Film, and if Panda Pictures released it itself, it is estimated that it would be good to get a few theaters to screen it in November.

"Don't be presumptuous, without your support, I wouldn't be so easy to succeed, and Panda Pictures wouldn't be where it is today, so we must work together to create a better tomorrow!"

"Don't worry, Director Lei, you give orders, we will definitely listen to you!" Fan Bin stroked his long hair, and the charming style made the heartbeat of the man in the room increase by three points.

""Nightclub" and "Ghost Record" have been sold, it can be said that it has little to do with us in a short period of time, everyone must put their mentality right and put their energy into work, because the company is not short of funds now, we want to put the company on the right track as soon as possible!

Lei Weidong first aimed at Li Yan.

"You are the chairman of the company, in addition to daily management, I hope Sister Yan can do a good job in public relations and become a public relations department directly under you!"

"Is it necessary to set up a public relations department?"

"It's not necessary, it's necessary!" Lei Weidong said in an affirmative tone.

"Since we want to make movies, we can't just shoot small-budget movies like "Ghost Record" and "Nightclub", and big-budget movies must be on the agenda

Those martial arts dramas and anti-Japanese war dramas only need to be filmed in the film and television city, but modern films are not good, just like the company's next "My Savage Girlfriend", which needs a lot of locations, which needs to be coordinated with many departments.

If you want to speed up the filming progress, you can't just have money, because there are too many places involved.

And no matter how good your relationship with the above is, because when you use it, you still need people from the following departments to be responsible, which requires you to maintain public relations!"

Not to mention film companies like Lei Weidong.

Even American studios are the same!

There are departments dedicated to this.

In addition, in order to make the company famous, all kinds of awards need to be participated in in the future!

Generally, small awards don't matter, but those larger awards need public relations.

If nothing else, it's like the Oscars every year, every award from nomination to final award!

It is impossible without PR.

There is a famous saying in Hollywood!

Want to win an Oscar!

Spending money doesn't always work!

But it certainly won't work without spending money!

Why Harvey Weinstein is known as Hollywood's most powerful bigwig.

Before the downfall, countless female stars surrounded Harvey Weinstein and were willing to do anything for him!

It's because Harvey Weinstein is known as an Oscar professional, and he can win several awards every year, and when he's lucky, the awards for Best Actress and Best Picture all go to him.

Such a high winning rate!

Except that Harvey Weinstein spotted the interest of the Hollywood jury and specialized in making films that match their tastes to participate in the Oscars.

The main reason is because Harvey Weinstein will do public relations, and he was the first Hollywood to invest a lot of money in large-scale public relations for the Oscars.

In order to win awards for his film, Harvey Weinstein spends tens of millions of dollars on public relations every year, and has a huge public relations team.

So much so that many people joked!

At least half of the Oscar judges are connected to Harvey Weinstein and benefit from him.

It can be said that the PR department is indispensable in any large company.

Even the most lucrative high-tech companies are no exception, and they all have a large PR team at their disposal.

Like, Apple!

This company that is the most beautiful in the future!

Even if the leader of the Qiao gang is so unruly, he has been fighting with the shareholders again and again!

But for the public relations department, Qiao Gang Leader still attaches great importance to it!

In Apple's public relations department, they have an incomparably abundant amount of money every year to solve various problems for Apple.

If it weren't for the huge market.

How could the thousands of public relations people who lobbied the Senators on Capitol Hill exist for so long, not because they need it, and if they do it well, they can save themselves a lot of money and energy.

Panda Pictures is now small, and the public relations department has little effect!

But along with the development of Lei Weidong's plan, it is inevitable to become a giant, and it is inevitable to deal with all aspects, so it is necessary for the public relations department to become a must.

Of course, because the department was established, there was only one bare-bones commander named Li Yan.

"I understand, don't worry, I'll do this department!"

Li Yanke was born as a lawyer and a top student majoring in justice, and after listening to Lei Weidong's explanation, she knew the importance of this department.

At present, he is the only one in Panda Pictures who can do this job.

Let Chen Xiaoer do it!

As for his stinky temper, let alone Lei Weidong, even he is not at ease.
