342 [Reorganization]

Wang Zijun walked into his office, and the little secretary Wen Qin held a pile of documents in his hand, and asked in a circle: "Boss, do you think my windbreaker looks good?" ”。

Wen Qin's figure is very tall, the tight deep jeans on the lower body appear to have slender legs, and the trench coat is padded with false shoulders, which looks like her shoulders are broad, adding a kind of heroism to charming women.

"It's beautiful. Went to Qingxia's store to buy it? Wang Zijun asked with a smile.

"Yes, our big boss lady Lin is really dark, and my two-month salary is gone." Wenqin joked.

To be honest, the brand "Zijin" is still a copycat, and the designers in the store plus Hong Xiaoqiao himself are only three people, and they can only be regarded as second-rate. Most of the clothes sold in the store have the shadow of major European and American brands. However, all the clothes are the most popular new styles, and some have a little Chinese elements. Coupled with the TV commercial endorsements of Wang Zijun and Lin Qingxia, this small brand quickly became popular in Taipei and became the object of some young men and women chasing stars and catching up with fashion.

There are not a few people like Wenqin who use their two months' salary to buy a "Zijin" brand clothes.

Wang Zijun praised Wenqin's dress before saying, "You go out first, and let Manager Bai come to me for a while." ”

"Okay." Wenqin smiled and exited the office.

Wang Zijun fell on the chair and closed his eyes to recuperate, and after about a little more than a minute, Bai Muyang walked in and closed the door with his hand.

Wang Zijun took out a stack of materials and said: "The headhunting companies in the United States and Japan have sent some candidates for the management of new companies, all of whom have done a better job in star packaging in the United States and Japan. You can help me choose. ”

Wang Zijun's adjustments to several companies under him, there are not many changes in the two parts of the cinema chain and the cinema, and the Wang cinema line is still managed by Han Yucheng. And Wang's Cinema spent a lot of money to dig up the original manager of the Guolian studio, this gentleman's name is Zhang Hefu, after the Guolian studio was acquired by Golden Harvest, although he stayed on the set as an executive, but he was depressed, Wang Zijun threw an olive branch, and came over without thinking about it.

The original Wang's Film Company needed to be split, but the spun-off brokerage company could not find a suitable person to manage for a while. The reason why Wang Zijun wants to invite headhunters from the United States and Japan to find people is mainly to set the eyes of the brokerage company on the international level.

Bai Muyang flipped through the information and said: "If you really want to choose from these people, I think it is better to be Japanese, no matter how bad they are, they understand the culture and habits of the Chinese better than the Yankees." ”

"Listening to your tone, it seems that you are not very satisfied with these people. Lao Bai, what better candidate do you have? Wang Zijun asked with a smile.

Bai Muyang said: "Who else can be chosen?" All the people I mentioned were rejected by you. ”

"Lao Bai, what I want is a company manager, not just a gold broker. Invite a native old man to come, I'm afraid they won't understand the idea I'm proposing. The concept Wang Zijun is talking about is the famous CAA model.

If Hollywood stars are compared to chess pieces, then the major entertainment agencies are the ones who play chess, and the innovative artist agencies are the chess kings and national players. Founder of Innovative Talent Agency, Michael Brown. Ovitz is known as the head of Hollywood.

At this time, the American entertainment industry is still chasing celebrities, and the CAA model created by Ovitz has brought the world's entertainment industry into a new era.

By the way, Ovitz's innovative talent agency is not yet in place, but it won't take a few months to open. And the CAA model created by Ovitz is not profound, and it can be said to be bad street common sense in a few decades, but no one has tried it yet.

It's a simple model, but it's hard to find someone who can actually use it perfectly.

Wang Zijun even thought about inviting Ovitz to come, anyway, Ovitz hasn't opened a company yet, but think about it, forget it, if Ovitz can bend to come to Taiwan, he will not be Ovitz. And even if Ovitz really comes, Wang Zijun doesn't dare to accept people, this guy just betrayed his old employer and started it. Gates is a virtue.

"Okay, let's not talk about this for now, how about the film company?" Wang Zijun asked.

Bai Muyang said: "Regarding the establishment of a film special effects department, I think it's too much of a fuss?" There is a pyrotechnic team that can cope with most of the film production, and a small number of things that cannot be completed, we will pay for outsourcing. If you set up a special effects department, I think it's too wasteful. ”,

Wang Zijun shook his head and said: "If you don't use it now, it doesn't mean that you won't need it in the future, and we will use it soon." Have you forgotten the genre I was talking about? ”。

"I don't think that's too idealistic? When we make movies, of course, we make movies that the audience likes to watch, and make a bottomless one, what if we lose money? Bai Muyang asked.

"You won't lose money, even if you lose, it's a small loss and a big profit." Wang Zijun found out that Bai Muyang was still stirring up here, "Every genre has his potential audience, and it has the possibility of becoming popular." And what kind of movies do you think are being made in Taiwan now? Except for martial arts films, patriotic films, propaganda films, and literary films, there are almost no other genres. Occasionally, an alternative one is released, and it is also shoddy because of insufficient investment. Will this continue for long? ”。

It's useless to force others.

What Wang Zijun wants to do now is to shoot oriental-style adventure films, comedies, police films, horror films, etc., one by one, and use the success of these films to attract other producers to follow suit, so as to diversify the genre of Taiwanese films as a whole.

Bai Muyang asked, "Are you ready to make a new film?" ”

"That's the plan." Wang Zijun said, "But after the company is reorganized." By the way, have the writers been invited? ”。

"The people in the screenwriting department have already been found, Gu Long and Xiao Yi heard that you invited them, and they agreed without bargaining." Bai Muyang looked at Wang Zijun with some admiration, many of those martial arts novelists have very strange temperaments, and they also sell Wang Zijun's face.

"Okay, that's all, I'll go to Singapore in two days, and I'll leave the matter to you here." Wang Zijun said, "In addition, help me prepare a budget of 50 million Taiwan dollars, and I will make a movie in two months." ”

"Poof" Bai Muyang was about to leave after drinking the last sip of coffee, when he heard the words, he squirted out directly, and said in surprise, "Fifty million to make a movie?" So much? ”

"I said Lao Bai, it's okay for you to be a little more generous." Wang Zijun said, "50 million Taiwan dollars is a lot, but when converted into US dollars, it is not even a fart." ”

"I didn't mean that, I was worried that I wouldn't be able to recover the cost." Bai Muyang said.

"It's okay, just throw stones to ask for directions, to open the European and American markets, we can't always nest in Southeast Asia, otherwise sooner or later we will die a miserable death." Wang Zijun said.

Bai Muyang spread his hands: "Okay, you have the final say, you are the boss." ”

Wang Zijun said: "Transfer the schedule of Cheng Long and his brothers in May, and I will take them to Europe to make movies at that time." ”

"Got it." Bai Muyang said.

After Bai Muyang left, Wang Zijun also walked out of the office. The pyrotechnics team downstairs is moving equipment, and they will expand into a dedicated special effects department, and the office location has also been changed to the suburbs.

The special effects staff in Wang's Film Company are very professional in playing with tightrope wires and explosions, but the optics, model building, etc., are very different from Hollywood. Now several backbones of the fireworks team have been sent by Wang Zijun to study industrial light and magic, and there will be a few American special effects artists who will come back together.

"Boss, your phone >, it's from the United States." Wen Qin suddenly shouted.

Wang Zijun returned to the office and picked up the phone, > it was Frank calling, and immediately asked, "Mr. Frank, are you in any hurry?" ”。

"Wang, voting is about to start for this year's Oscars? Your "Ghost Love" has a high voice. Frank Road.

"Oh, really? That's great. Wang Zijun said.

"Wang, do you want to win the prize?". Frank asked.

Isn't this nonsense? Wang Zijun said: "Of course. What exactly are you trying to say? ”

"Well, maybe you don't know Hollywood habits yet. If you want your film to have a better chance of winning awards, we have to pay someone to lobby. "It's going to cost about $500,000 to $800,000, which is a lot of money, I asked Bruce, and he said to you directly." ”

"Winning the Oscar also has to be bribed?" Wang Zijun was surprised.

"No, it's not bribery, it's lobbying, it's protected by U.S. law. The election of government officials requires money to lobby, and the entertainment industry awards also need to spend money to hire people from lobbying companies. Frank Road.

Wang Zijun said: "Will you definitely get the award if you get this money?" ”。

Frank said, "Not necessarily. This is lobbying, not bribery, so there is no guarantee that the effectiveness of lobbying will be effective. You can't win an award for a bad movie, no matter how much money you pay, and the purpose of our lobbying is to make the judges more inclined to us when two or more movies are extremely controversial. However, don't think about awards like Best Picture, small companies like us don't have to think about it, it's not just a matter of money, but also a wealth of contacts. ”,

"I see, you can do it." Wang Zijun hung up the phone >, and said foully: Damn, bribe and bribe, and make a lobby to set up a memorial arch.

In fact, Wang Zijun really wronged his American counterparts, the lobbying system in the United States has a history of several hundred years, and there is a special "Lobbying Law". But this thing is also very unclean, when lobbying often with dollars and beautiful women, every once in a while there will be a scandal, every time there is a scandal, the lobbying law is modified to remedy.

In fact, many times the Oscars win awards by relationships, and people who are not well-connected often don't get awards, even if the film is good, it is only a nomination or a small award. Moreover, Hollywood is a standard rightist gathering place, and all the movies that can win awards are right-wing movies, and leftist movies are all on the sidelines.

The rightists here have nothing to do with politics, but the mainstream social spirit of the United States, such as freedom, democracy, family, humanity, and so on. Leftist films are a bit less mainstream, like some kind of black satire. In order to flaunt their equality, the Oscars often use awards such as Best Foreign Language Film to leftist films in Europe and the Middle East when awarding awards to right-wing films, which means that they are balanced between the left and right. And Chinese films are a bit tragic, how can there be leftist films selected for the Oscars? It's all the main theme, and it deserves not to even win an Oscar for Best Foreign Language.
