The location of White Springs Pictures is located in an obscure corner of Hollywood.
Huo Que is a decisive person, as long as he has an idea, he will do it immediately, he just made a decision and agreed to Hardy's request, and immediately rushed back from Utah.
The company is indeed not big, with less than 50 staff members, but although the sparrow is small, it has all kinds of departments, such as the production department, distribution department, and publicity department.
After visiting the company with Hardy, I began to implement the signing of the contract, which is wholly owned by Hardy, so it is much easier to talk about business.
Alex, who came with Huo Que, read the entire contract twice, and after confirming that it was correct, Huo Que left his name.
"My dear partner, let's have a board meeting." As soon as Huo Que finished signing the contract, Hardy said with a smile.
Huo Que hadn't gotten used to it for a while, and smiled awkwardly: "I will make movies, and the normal operation of the company is still operated by you, after all, you are also familiar with it." ”
"In the past, I opened a film company because of my interest, and I thought that I could make a lot of money in the hot film market, but the truth told me that the film company is really not suitable for a profit-oriented businessman like me, we have to hire a master to manage the company, so that we can become bigger and stronger." Hadi Zhengse said, not joking at all.
"It's up to you." Huo Que is still a rookie in terms of management, so he simply doesn't care.
Hardy smiled: "The previous general manager was me...... But as you can see, the company has grown like this under my effective management, so we still hired a smart general manager. ”
"It's up to you." Huo Que, who suddenly became the boss, really hasn't changed his role yet.
"I don't count." Hadi patted Huo Que on the shoulder: "You said this more useful than me." ”
"Oh?" Huo Que looked dazed, this businessman's brain turned even more weird than that of an artist.
Hardy smiled slyly and looked at Alex, who was sitting on the side spitting a smoke ring.
"Hehe......" Alex had already heard Hardy's thoughts, he laughed and said: "The two bosses, if you want to hire me as the general manager, you can't let me do it for nothing, right?" ”
"I'm willing to give you a five-percent stake." Hadi said cleanly, it seems that this businessman is indeed a ruthless character, and he is not confined to small sections at all for the development of the company.
If Huo Que's brain couldn't turn around at this time, then he wouldn't be worthy of being the boss, he hurriedly echoed: "I'm also willing to give five percent." ”
Alex spread his hands: "Ten percent dry shares, it is indeed tempting, but the premise is that the company's performance is good, if it doesn't make money for a year, I won't make money, and if the company is profitable, it will far exceed my salary at Lionsgate." Quite challenging......"
"Did you say yes? Dear Mr. Alex. Hardy didn't really hope that Alex would say yes, because he knew that with his influence in the studio, he could get a good position and a decent salary in any company. However, after knowing that he valued Huo Que so much and gave up a qiē to help Huo Que, he felt that there was a glimmer of hope, so he brought it up.
"I love a challenge." Alex took a puff of his cigar: "But if I promise that I have conditions, and you can agree to my conditions, I will agree to serve." ”
"Please." Hardy was already excited, he never thought that a company that was about to face bankruptcy at any time would show signs of resurrection in a day, with Alex's ability to take charge of this company, he believed that even if he wanted to go bankrupt, which of those works he dug for Lionsgate did not make Lionsgate make a lot of money, in other words, half of the current development of Lionsgate is due to Alex.
"I have the final say on the development direction of the company, I have the final say on the operation of the company, and I want to reformulate the company's system...... In a word, if you hand over this company to me, you must give me full trust, so don't let me do it as your boss, if you can agree, then sign the contract immediately. ”
"I promise." Huo Que and Hadi said in unison, and then the three of them looked at each other and began to laugh.
If you are capable, you have to give him a stage to show his strengths, otherwise he will not be able to play at all.
…………
In Baiquan's small conference room, Alex sat at the top of the desk, and Huo Que and Hardy sat on his left and right, it was obvious that both Hardy and Huo Que had great trust in Alex.
In other words, Alex also gave 100% expectations to Huo Que, otherwise how could he come to work in a small company with his identity.
The people below are actually a little flustered, because the company basically didn't release any movies last year, which means that the company didn't have any performance, and the good thing is that the boss didn't lay off employees. But today, suddenly the boss and general manager has achieved the position of second-in-command, is it that the company has changed hands?
This is unfortunate news, and if the company is bought by someone else, there is a high probability that these employees will be laid off.
"Just a quick introduction to myself, I'm your new General Manager, Alex. Gus, don't worry about me, I'm actually a kind person. Alex said with a smile.
It's just that the audience is starting to make a noise, as long as it's someone who works in a film company, for Alex. The name Gus is generally not unfamiliar.
"Are you the eyes of Lionsgate, Mr. Alex?" Someone asked.
According to the film company, Lionsgate was able to develop so quickly because it had a pair of bright eyes, and those bright eyes were called Alex.
"Someone has said this before, but I think in the future people will say that I am the eye of White Springs Pictures." Alex replied wittily.
The atmosphere of the office was ridiculed and the atmosphere was lifted in an instant.
"Today's meeting has two purposes, the first is to let you know two people, the first is me, and the second is your other boss, Mr. Huo Que."
was called by name, Huo Que looked at the men and women wearing professional clothes on the left and right, stood up, and nodded at them one by one with a smile.
There was some discussion below, and Hadi waved his hand and said: "Don't worry, with Mr. Alex's ability, he will definitely be able to carry forward Baiquan Pictures, and your salary will also rise, as for Mr. Huo Que, everyone may be relatively unfamiliar, but I believe that after his movie is released, the entire United States and even the world will have a large part of them know him." ”
This is indeed good news, this group of employees does not know what the boss has paid to keep them from losing their jobs, but they know that Alex has become their general manager, and with such a capable person becoming the general manager, White Springs Pictures does have a chance to develop.
"Is the movie our company's movie coming out?" Someone asked in disbelief, because the company has not released a movie for more than half a year, and is making some small TV series or short films to make a living, how can you not be excited when you suddenly hear that a movie is being released?
"That's the second thing I'm going to say, all departments may have to work overtime these days because we're on a tight schedule."
Next, Alex first asked the heads of various departments to introduce themselves, and then began to arrange the specific work of the next few days, which revolved around one thing, that is, to ensure that "This Man is from Earth" will be released on time on January 25, and today is January 19, and there are only six days before the release time.
The release time was set by Alex and Huo Que, and they chose to do it before the Sundance Film Festival ended, so that they would save a lot of publicity costs. And during the Sundance screening, the Valentine family's media will not completely ignore Sundance and attack the film.
The most important point is that the film is very likely to win some awards at Sundance, and the movie was still in theaters at the time of the awards, so it is undoubtedly another good publicity for the movie.
This is Alex, who can walk between art and business, and he is really a genius.
Baiquan has been idle for a whole year, and the sudden busyness has given many employees a sense of rediscovering their attitude to life, and they have spared no effort to do their work, and in just a few days, all the preliminary preparations on the eve of the release of "This Man from Earth" have been in place.
(Ask for recommendation votes and collections, this book is still a seedling, these two things are too important, so I will mention it twice)
