Chapter 53 Meetings
"This is the first time our company has held a staff meeting, except for Zeng Zhiwei and Zhong Yihong who did not attend the filming of the crew, the rest of us have arrived. First of all, I would like to announce the appointment of a position in the company. Ye Jianren said, "The chairman and president of the company is the first person to be the next choice." ”
Ye Jianren's slightly mocking tone was a little more relaxed, and the atmosphere of the meeting was a little more relaxed, and people with bright minds even let out a slight laugh at the right time.
"Lai Ying-jeou is the company's vice president and is temporarily in charge of the company's production business, Bai Caiwei is my personal assistant and temporarily takes charge of the company's finances, Shen Chengdong is the deputy director of the publicity department and is in charge of the company's publicity business, and Zhou Canhua is the deputy director of the legal department and is responsible for the company's contract drafting and other legal matters. The artist department, the distribution department and the logistics department are all temporarily absent. ”
Zhou Canhua is the senior brother in Bai Caiwei's mouth, graduated from the Law School of Xiangjiang University.
"When you choose to join my company at this time, you are obviously very optimistic about the future development of the company. I'm not going to talk about empty words or nonsense here, just one point, and I will never disappoint those who believe in me. After a pause, Ye Jianren continued, "Now that the company has not been established for a long time, most of the positions in the company are vacant, I don't look at the relationship, I only look at the ability, as long as everyone does a good job, I am not hesitant to promote." It was the first meeting, so all the employees of the company came to attend. But next time or the next time, maybe only managers above the middle level will be able to participate, and I hope to see you in this room again. ”
After Ye Jianren finished speaking, the room immediately erupted in warm applause, and many people showed excited looks on their faces.
"Next, I asked my personal assistant to give me a general introduction to the company. ”
"Hello everyone, I am Bai Caiwei, Mr. Ye's personal assistant. Bai Caiwei stood up and bowed to everyone before continuing, "Next, I will briefly introduce the specific situation of the company. The company was established on February 22, 80 with a registered capital of 20,000 yuan. ”
Speaking of this, Bai Caiwei glanced at Ye Jianren, with a hint of admiration in her eyes, it is really powerful to develop to this scale with a registered capital of 20,000 yuan.
On March 1, the company's first film "Nightclub" started filming, and on March 20, it was released in the Golden Princess Theater, and it was painted on April 17. Including overseas box office revenues, a total of 15 million yuan, Mr. Ye privately embezzled 2.5 million yuan. ”
Speaking of this, Bai Caiwei glanced at Ye Jianren again, but the meaning of this glance was different from just now. Everyone showed a knowing smile, and the boss privately embezzled more than 2 million yuan for what he was doing, and he could know it if he thought about it. A pure martial artist, who suddenly got so much wealth, most of them took it to enjoy.
This is also the reason why most of the independent production companies in Hong Kong have not been able to do it for a long time, because even if the movies they invest in are big hits, they will be squandered by the boss, and they don't think about how to continue to grow the company. Compared with them, Ye Jianren only embezzled one-sixth of it, which was already very good.
Ye Jianren obviously understands what everyone thinks, although he is the only investor in the company, and he doesn't need to explain to any shareholders and directors, but it's always good to leave a good impression on everyone. This woman actually put on small shoes for herself at this time, it seems that she hasn't cleaned her up for so long and forgot how good she is.
After putting her care after for the time being, he still explained the situation in front of him clearly, so he hurriedly interrupted Bai Caiwei and said: "Let me explain, I used this money to invest in stocks, don't speculate." ”
Everyone present nodded one after another, expressing their belief in Ye Jianren's explanation, but only they knew what they thought in their hearts.
After Ye Jianren finished speaking, Bai Caiwei continued: "The company held a celebration banquet for "Nightclub", which cost 1.1 million, carried out coercion experiments, spent 300,000, purchased and adapted Gu Long's novel "The Legend of Lu Xiaofeng" cost 900,000 yuan, and daily expenses were more than 100,000 yuan, and now there are 9.98 million yuan left in the company's account. ”
Then there are 24 people in the company, including four actors, two male and female actors, and three directors, of which Chen Xunqi is part-time responsible for the film soundtrack, four martial artists, five behind the scenes, and eight company operators. The above is a little bit of an introduction to the company. After Bai Caiwei finished speaking, she bowed to everyone again before sitting down.
"Now that we have some understanding of the company's situation, let's talk about what we will discuss at this meeting. Ye Jianren said, "About the recruitment of talents." ”
"Since the celebration of the Nightclub, I have placed advertisements in the newspaper to recruit talents, but now there are only 24 people in the company, and this number is far from enough. To put it mildly, now that the company wants to shoot a movie, it can't get together a crew, so what kind of development can we talk about? What kind of growth can we talk about?" Ye Jianren said, "If you have any suggestions in this regard, you can put them forward." ”
After Ye Jianren finished speaking, everyone present was silent, staring at each other, and none of them made a sound.
"Don't hide it, if you have anything to say, Assistant Bai, you can give everyone a head first. Ye Jianren said.
"In that case, I will be ugly. Bai Caiwei said, "I think the key to recruiting talents is to publicize and expand the company's influence." But the focus of the propaganda should be changed, before Mr. Ye, you gave out a million red envelopes at the celebration banquet of "Nightclub", although it was able to attract a group of people to come, but more people were on the sidelines, because they didn't trust our strength enough, thinking that we were just slapping our faces and becoming fat. If we can disclose the company's assets, it will definitely attract more people. ”
"No, no. Bai Caiwei denied it before she finished speaking, Ye Jianren denied, "It's good to increase publicity, but your method is too ostentatious." ”
A movie earns fifteen million, what kind of madness will be caused by this news, Ye Jianren can't imagine, maybe they will attract some talents to join, but it will annoy more peers.
To give a very simple example, the live broadcast industry was very hot in the previous life, but there was no agreement on how much money each anchor could compete for, until a female anchor admitted in the program that she earned 15 million a year, everyone had a clear understanding, but the female anchor also caused trouble. More and more people are pouring into the live broadcast industry because of high incomes, and the country has repeatedly rectified because of the high income of the live broadcast industry.
If Ye Jianren is also so swaggering, it is difficult to say anything else, there will definitely be many people from other industries who come into the entertainment industry to get a piece of the pie, especially the characters in the community.
"Regarding the issue of the income from the last movie, I hope everyone can keep it secret. Ye Jianren was afraid that someone would leak it and reminded him, "If someone leaks it, don't blame me for being ruthless." ”
Everyone present was able to join the company at this time, either attracted by Ye Jianren's high salary, or they were very optimistic about the company's prospects, of course, they would not spoil their jobs for this matter, and nodded their heads to indicate that they knew.
Although the opinions put forward were rejected, Bai Caiwei was not too disappointed, because her speech itself was to throw bricks and lead to jade, and it was not important whether she adopted it or not.
"Director Shen, you are quite accomplished in publicity, I don't know if you have any ideas for expanding your influence and recruiting talents?" Ye Jianren asked Shen Chengdong, who was forced to join by him.
"I just listened to Assistant Bai's speech, and I got some inspiration from it. Shen Chengdong said, "Since it directly shows that the company's earnings are not appropriate, we can show it from the side." Previously, Golden Harvest announced that it would enter Hollywood and invest 500 million yuan to shoot ten movies in the United States, which immediately caused a sensation. We can also follow suit, for example, by advertising that we will invest 50 million in the next two years to make 10 films. This shows both the ambition of our company and the financial strength of the company, which can attract more talent. ”
"It's a possible way. Ye Jianren nodded and said, "What about the rest, is there any other way?"
