Chinese New Year is coming!
The streets of Hong Kong are full of festive atmosphere, and DreamWorks has also begun to prepare for the release of the annual highlight "Best Partner", for which Wang Zifan has worked hard, and now it is finally harvest season! The day before the release, a manager-level meeting was held at DreamWorks to discuss the blockbuster plan. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
conference room
When Wang Zifan arrived, he received a strange gaze, especially Huang Baiming, Teddy Robin, Xiao Ruoyuan, Xu Ke, Mai Dangxiong and others, who usually do not leave their cigarettes, the ashtray in front of them is full of cigarette butts, a few flowers in the office are smoked, and the green leaves are hanging lazily on the branches, as if this is the evidence, and the flowers we are waiting for are all grateful.
Shi Nansheng, deputy general manager of DreamWorks, Huang Xizhao, general manager of TV station, Wu Mengda, manager of the logistics department, Zhang Aijia, manager of the Taiwan branch, Feng Tianzhi, manager of the record company, Zeng Zhiwei, head of the computer and flying car stunt group, Chen Baixiang, manager of the personnel department, manager of the purchasing department, etc., a conference room was full of senior leaders of the entertainment empire.
"Ahem...... I'm sorry, but there's a traffic jam on the road. ”
Wang Zifan smiled awkwardly, sat on the empty seat above, glanced down, and the executives attending the meeting stopped talking to each other.
Huang Xizhao didn't want to dwell on this issue, and then said: "Afan, let's talk about the content of today's meeting." ”
"The meeting begins. Wang Zifan reminded him loudly, and suddenly the audience was solemn, everyone put out their cigarette butts, sat upright, looked at Wang Zifan's direction, and some still held pens in their hands, waiting for the record: "There are two topics today, everyone has read them, Uncle Huang, Manager Feng came to the meeting, I plan to formally establish Oriental Entertainment Group, with me as the chairman and general manager, Miss Shi as the CEO of DreamWorks, Uncle Huang as the general manager of the TV station, Mr. Feng as the general manager of the record company, everyone here is a director, and the distribution company will be officially reorganized and the Oriental Entertainment Distribution Company will be established, which will be responsible for the distribution of TV stations, film companies, The record company, that is to say, in the future, all the film and television series of the Oriental Entertainment Group will be distributed by this department, and it can also expand its business and help other companies distribute films and records. ”
Oriental Entertainment Group!
Also merge and acquire the issuing company!
Is this the rhythm of going to war with Princess Jin?
There are few film companies in Hong Kong that are willing to distribute them themselves, the cost is too great, they are all directly bought out by theater dealers, or lend the film to theaters for distribution, and extract a few percent of the box office, Golden Princess films are all distributed by DreamWorks, and now the distribution company is under the name of Oriental Entertainment Group, and the last fig leaf is torn off, what will Lei Juekun think.
The little man Teddy Robin exclaimed, "Mr. Wang, this will cost a lot of money!"
Wang Zifan smiled lightly: "Yes, the preliminary estimate is that the restructuring funds are about 15 million, Taiwan, Japan, and the United States, three important foreign places, must establish branches, especially in Taiwan, the branch must have the ability to produce films on its own, South Korea, Singapore and other countries should also set up film studios, the main function is to discover good films, distribute them to Hong Kong, and usually be responsible for trainees and beauty pageant registration, such as South Korea and Japan, there are many young beauties yearning for the entertainment industry, we can help them." ”
Zeng Zhiwei smiled and said: "It's still Mr. Wang's thoughtfulness!"
Xiao Ruoyuan is most concerned about the director of the distribution company, how many people are equipped, and he is responsible for the daily management of the company, so he has to choose an 'obedient' person.
"Afan, what are you going to do with the distribution company?"
Wang Zifan glanced at Xiao Ruoyuan and asked, "What are your current plans?"
For the distribution company, Wang Zifan has not yet decided who will be responsible, originally he belonged to Xiao Ruoyuan, but Xiao Ruoyuan had already expressed his willingness to work in the film company.
Xiao Ruoyuan said with a smile: "Actually, I think the company's assistant Ada is very suitable, he has opened up distribution channels before, and he is very good at issuing to foreign ports, and South Korea and Nanyang foreign ports are his one-handed contact, the only drawback is that he is good at gambling and has no proud academic qualifications." ”
Hearing this evaluation, Wu Mengda lowered his head, in fact, with his qualifications and contributions, he can be completely comparable to Xiao Ruoyuan, Chen Baixiang and others, but because of his reputation, many appreciation opportunities have been snatched away by others, so that DreamWorks has developed from a shell company in a two-story building to a giant today, and he is still a warehouse supervisor!
For Wang Zifan's employment method, Chen Baixiang knows it well, only attaches importance to ability, followed by character, and his academic background ranks last, and his favorite is the talent who studied in Europe and the United States, and said with a smile: "I have a candidate who just joined our company!"
Wang Zifan said with interest: "Let's hear it!"
Chen Baixiang said: "His name is Cen Jianxun, this person is a little ugly, but Cen Jianxun is a top student of the University of Hong Kong, he has studied in the United States and the United Kingdom, and after returning to China, he served as the editor-in-chief of Hong Kong's "Extra" magazine.
Wang Zifan was a little impressed by this person, and nodded: "Then Cen Jianxun! Promote him to the assistant manager of the distribution company, and his salary will be increased by one level!"
Xiao Ruoyuan looked at Chen Baixiang without a trace.
Wang Zifan looked at Zhang Aijia and asked, "How are you preparing for "The Wrong Car"?"
"Ah!" Zhang Aijia was stunned, and after reacting, she immediately reminded: "Mr. Wang, this is a story about taking the wrong car, but the name of the movie is "If the Wine Sells Nothing", the film was completed last week, and the later stage has just begun, but the cinema chain in Taiwan has a vague attitude and did not give us an accurate date. ”
Xiao Ruoyuan continued: "When the film was finished, I sent someone to Taiwan to contact the schedule, but the theater manager was closed, and a small supervisor came forward to negotiate, I think they are insincere!"
"If you don't have sincerity, you have to continue talking!" Wang Zifan pondered for a while and analyzed: "It's the off-season, and there are basically no movies released by Taiwan's major film companies, so continue to talk! I don't believe they won't let go." ”
Zhang Aijia said: "I think it can be released in Hong Kong first, as long as word of mouth spreads, I am not afraid that the film will have no place to be released." ”
Zeng Zhiwei said: "Man's wife, that's a literary film, Mr. Lei can't put it in commercial films now!"
Zhang Aijia said: "Then contact other theaters to screen it!"
There are a lot of cinemas in Hong Kong, in addition to the three major cinemas of the Clan's Cinema Line, the Golden Princess Cinema Line, and the Golden Harvest Cinema Line, but there are also some large and small cinemas, which release some follow-up films and Fengyue films, of course, the box office will not be too high, the attendance rate is less than three achievements, and the box office is at most one or two million, Wang Zifan's Palace Cinema used to be dedicated to showing Fengyue films, and now it has been renovated and the basement has been converted into a screening room, and the two floors are all added up, there are about more than 2,700 seats.
Xiao Ruoyuan supported Zhang Aijia's idea of making literary films, but he disagreed with this proposal, and retorted: "This kind of loss is also a loss, Hong Kong's local box office directly determines the results of other cities, and most theaters refer to the box office to determine the buyout price, 10 million box office films can sell 2 million, 3 million, 20 million box office films can sell 5 million! We make a little less in Hong Kong, and we will lose at least four or five times in other cities!"
Teddy Robin waved his hands and said bitterly: "Then what should we do? Let's go to the door like beggars and ask for alms, or simply accept Mr. Lei's shares, so that everyone is our own son, and there is no need to fight!"
As soon as Teddy Robin's voice fell, many people nodded, in their opinion, accepting Lei Juekun as a shareholder was the easiest and most effective way to solve the problem.
Wang Zifan has a black line on his face, it is his interests that accept the loss of shares, and it has little to do with the bottom, and few people will do stupid things that harm themselves and others: "Okay, it will be released in Taiwan, I talked to Sir Wei a few days ago, they have their own theaters in Taiwan, Singapore, Malaya, and Canada, and when the time comes, I will hand over the copy to them, and now talk about "Best Partner"!"
Zeng Zhiweile said: "Don't worry, everyone, this film is definitely a blockbuster!"
Huang Baiming said with a smile: "It's a blockbuster, we have spent so much money on this film!"
Shi Nansheng said: "The Propaganda Department has spent a lot of energy and has been advertising in major newspapers and magazines for a week!"
"Very good! The film will be released tomorrow!" Wang Zifan looked at Huang Xizhao and reminded: "The promotional film will be broadcast a few more times!"
Huang Xizhao said: "I will arrange the broadcast in prime time, the ratings of "Flying Eagle" are as high as 84%, and the one-minute advertising fee starts at 300,000, and I will free up all these advertising hours tonight to play promotional videos!"
Wang Zifan is a little relieved, he has done everything he can, the advertising is overwhelming, and there are big theaters for continuous screenings, except for "Ghost Fighting Ghosts", Golden Harvest and Wei's have no wonderful films, the time and place are favorable, he has accounted for them all, now let's see what height the box office of the movie has reached!
Huang Baiming reminded: "Since the movie is a hit, whether to make a sequel or not, I'm worried that Mecca will take the lead!"
Wang Zifan smiled: "What qualifications does he have to take the lead!"
Huang Baiming said: "It's better to be on guard, I know his style, if he sees a blockbuster movie, even if he doesn't make "Best Partner", he will make a follow-up film!"
Wang Zifan's heart moved, but he didn't think about it, and decided: "Inform Mecca, just say that a sequel will be made in April, and let him prepare!"
Zeng Zhiwei said: ""Best Partner" is going to make a sequel, who is the director?"
"Xu Ke!" Wang Zifan named and said in an accentuated tone: "This time you will be the director!"
Xu Ke was surprised and pleasantly surprised, and nodded hurriedly: "No problem!"
This couple is going to be developed!
Many people have a sour taste in their hearts, Xu Ke's live-in girlfriend Shi Nansheng has become the CEO of DreamWorks, and now Xu Ke is reused, and it will not be like playing in the future.
For the combination of Shi Nansheng and Xu Ke, Wang Zifan did not take it to heart, now that he is making more and more money, he will definitely be busier in the future, and he will be promoted to Huang Baiming, Shi Nansheng and others to take turns to sit in the village and manage daily things, he is responsible for the management of major things, of course, he has to nod his head to invest in making movies.
