Chapter 343 Rectification

MM TV Network has 16 directly affiliated TV stations and more than 2,500 employees, and its addition makes the MM Group have nearly 10,000 employees, which is a bit like a large group, but it is a drop in the bucket compared to Time Warner's 130,000 employees (worldwide) and Viacom's 120,000 employees (worldwide).

Every time a company acquires a business, there will definitely be personnel turmoil, and the promotion and retention of employees has become a major event.

As a loss-making enterprise, B TV network is to lay off a group of people every year and then celebrate the New Year, and now just after the New Year, the TV station was acquired again, which made the employees of the TV station fall into great unease, almost every merger and acquisition, some people will be laid off, which has almost become a practice, and this merger and acquisition is a lightning action, the parent company quickly got rid of it, MM quickly took over, the two sides did not sign any employee protection agreement, and even the union was only notified on the eve of the acquisition, which caused greater unease.

This uneasiness made the employees indignant, and they went to the company's union to complain that the merger without the union's consent was illegal, and the employees were ready to go in tandem to demand that the union invalidate the merger, and to reverse the agreement, and resist the ensuing wave of layoffs.

This kind of uneasiness not only exists in the minds of ordinary employees, but also many people in the management are worried about it, it has always been a son of heaven and a courtier, every time there is a change of dynasty, the first to suffer is their managers, and then these employees, many people are suspicious of this rapid merger and acquisition, thinking that there is an ulterior secret, in the minds of many people, they think that the parent company abandoned them, as a Time Warner employee pride and honor is higher than as MM, back to the big tree to enjoy the shade, MM is a small company, how to ensure their welfare and treatment?

As soon as the signing of the contract was completed, the board of directors of TV B handed over the power to the executive board headed by Egger, and Egger immediately issued the first, second and third notices through the internal network of Company B.

The first is to clearly retain every employee of B TV Network, and if you insist on resigning, you will be compensated with an extra month's salary.

The second is to implement new wage performance appraisal standards.

The third is to require the human resources departments of all directly affiliated television stations to expand the one-tenth standard to recruit new employees.

MM's work is unexpected by many people, not only did not lay off employees, but also recruited, this is the rhythm of preparing to do a big job, and to many people's surprise, the new wage standard is actually 10% higher than the original salary, many people do not want to believe that the dignified time Warner company, the salary and benefits are not as good as a small company, but the fact is in front of us, the document signed by CEO Iger personally is sent to every mailbox, not only did not lay off people but also recruited people and increased wages, this kind of style, so that many people are confused, but it is undeniable that this move is a great reassuring mind。

The dark clouds of uneasiness that shrouded the TV station disappeared, and under the stimulus of such a good thing as raising wages, many people were unhappy with the company's name change and becoming employees of the Nth largest media company from the first media company, everything was fake, and money was the most real.

Mark doesn't care much about these things, these days he has been concentrating on perfecting his variety show "Supernova", ready to start producing it as soon as he has his own TV network, this super good idea came out, which made Iger very excited, a "Grey's Anatomy" has made him sure to engage in a TV network, and there is one more ace show like this, so it won't fly?

The well-known Fox TV network relies on a few ace dramas to play the world's "The Simpsons", "The X-Files", "24 Hours" and now the red and purple "Prison Break", with Mark, a master of production, are you afraid that there is no attractive weapon?

Most of the TV dramas in the United States are one episode per week, and there are also daily or two episodes per week, and TV dramas are not allowed to be broadcast on Saturdays, and all of them must be given to other programs produced by the TV station itself, which is stipulated by the TV broadcast system in the United States.

As of July 19999, there were 1,300 commercial television stations in the United States, and in this industry, which is composed of thousands of private companies, small and medium-sized companies account for the majority, while a small number of large companies control the vast majority of the market share, and the four major television networks in the United States, ABC (American Broadcasting Corporation), CBS (CBS), NBC (National Broadcasting Corporation), and Fox and other small and medium-sized companies in order to survive and develop in the fierce market competition, they have to make every effort to improve themselves.

This model of rice TV dramas is a manifestation of the competitiveness of rice commercial radio and television, and the production, broadcasting, advertising and other important links of TV dramas are organically combined to maximize benefits.

Iger dares to be a TV station, the biggest reliance is the world's largest film library, these rich resources make them not afraid of no content insertion, plus some self-produced ace programs, why worry about big things?

MM TV network is entertainment-based,There are five channels,TV、Film and television、Entertainment、Sports、Children's four channels,Among them, film and television are locked and paid,And slightly different from others is that they provide online live on-demand functions at the same time,Very innovative,There is the taste of network TV in later generations,It's just that now the network is used as a carrier for conversion,Instead of set-top box。

As for the reorganization, reconstruction, and operation of the TV station, Iger was in charge, and Mark Anxin produced his work and promoted the variety show "Supernova".

After signing in New York, he and Giselle walked in Times Square, a year ago Mark came here to deal with the Marvel crisis, met Giselle in an advertisement, in the lonely and cold winter, two men and women who had just been single fell in love at first sight, and immediately started dating, everything went unusually well, and soon they got married.

That night, they stayed in the hotel, when Giselle accepted the marriage proposal and decided to move to Los Angeles, after knowing that Mark owed a huge debt, he decided to take advantage of the high price of the apartment to help him pay off part of the debt, but this is completely overthought, the debt of the Wang family fund, at all, he does not have to worry about it, she used it for investment.

Giselle held a small party in the hotel to entertain her sisters in the past, the gap between the two sides was huge before, and now the status is even more unattainable, as a billionaire broad, she is the object of envy and jealousy of such sisters, Mark's status has changed greatly compared to a year ago, and he has become a huge rich man from a famous director, according to "Pengbo Information" It is estimated that among Hollywood directors and producers, Mark's wealth ranks among the top three, and perhaps only Luch Lucas and Steven Spielberg can compare with him, but when it comes to power and resources, Mark is even better.

In Hollywood, Mark can be called a tycoon, in the entertainment industry, since the news of the acquisition of B TV Network, he can be regarded as a tycoon, such a young tycoon, perhaps only the legendary Howard Hughes can be compared, Giselle is a woman with a husband, from a supermodel to a wealthy lady, in the eyes of these sisters, it can be regarded as a phoenix on the branches, and has a fairy tale princess-like home.

Mark is not very interested in Giselle's supermodel sisters, although they are all young and hot beauties, but he is really not very interested, there are so many beauties around him, each with its own characteristics, and he is not very interested in these supermodel girls.

Mark is now feeling pressure again, the billions obtained by selling YouTube are not enough to fill this hole, the 4.2 billion required for the acquisition of B TV Network, guaranteed by Larry, is evenly distributed to Mark's Wang sibling family fund, there are also 1800 million, no joke, his debts have become more than 7 billion, which is really a headache.

If you don't make a profit on the company, when the subprime mortgage crisis comes, the banks that can't see the hope of making a profit are afraid that they will take over their companies, and the business empire he envisions will be ruined in one fell swoop.

Mark's main job at this stage is to complete the first cut of "Iron Man", and now the special effects production is almost complete, once the special effects are completed, the whole film is almost complete, as for the soundtrack, it was entrusted to Hans Zimmer's studio as early as the beginning of filming, and now they have handed over the finished product, and they will make the original soundtrack after the first cut is completed.

As long as "Iron Man" is edited well, it can be promoted and promoted, they have finalized the file and have an agreement with the theater company, but the real specific film schedule and joining the theater can only be decided when the sample film comes out.

March 17 is Warner's "V Revenge", March 31 is Twentieth Century Fox's "Ice Age 2", followed by Paramount's "Pro Secret Service 3" and "Scream 3".

After Labor Day and Memorial Day in May, on May 12, Warner claimed to have spent 200 million on the Poseidon attack, claiming to build another Titanic, and then on the 19th, two blockbusters were released, MM's "The Da Vinci Code" and Paramount's "Beyond the Fence" were released, and a week later, another $200 million super blockbuster "X-Men: The Last Battle" came strongly, the first two were big hits, so that Fox invested a budget of $200 million for him, and Marvel wanted to get back "X-Men" Copyright, it's basically impossible.

As one of the recognized top ten films of the year, "Iron Man" will be released on May 1, and Mark has accumulated amazing records, making "Iron Man", "The Da Vinci Code", "Pirates of the Caribbean 2", "Cars", "X-Men: The Last Stand", "Superman Returns", "Poseidon", "Happy Feet", "Professional Secret Service 3", "007: Casino Royale", known as the top ten films of the year.

Taken by Mark, who has never missed a hand, after "Iron Man" was set for May Day, other movies retreated, giving him a rare two weeks.
