On Sunday, Zhou Yi stopped accompanying Tang Yan at home, saving him from being blinded by his sister. Early in the morning, he talked to his uncle and aunt to make an excuse to go back to school, and then took his laptop and went out of the house.

He made an appointment with Zhuo Qinglian to go to his company today.

In the morning, he called Zhuo Qinglian, and Zhuo Qinglian would drive over to pick him up and go over together.

came to the outside of the community and waited for a while, Zhuo Qinglian drove over.

"Tick! Backbite! ”

Hearing the whistle, Zhou Yi ran over, pulled the car door, sat in, and said with a smile: "Sister Zhuo is early!" ”

"Good morning, boss!"

"Sister Zhuo, you tease me again."

"Haha!"

The two laughed, Zhuo Qinglian restrained his smile, and said, "Ah Yi, I have bad news for you." ”

"What bad news could there be?"

Zhou Yiman didn't care.

If there is really any bad news, Sister Zhuo will not have this expression.

"Our Zhengdong Pictures has been poached."

"Poaching? Dig us? Who poached us? ”

Hearing this news, Zhou Yi was a little surprised.

"It's just that several second-tier film companies in Yanjing are old rivals, and they have fallen into the ground, of course they have to dig up! Like Chishi Pictures, Baidai Pictures, and Clover Pictures, they worked together to poach and poach together. I just got the news in the morning. ”

"Our company's first few movies lost so badly, and some people dug it?"

"It's not someone's responsibility to lose badly, so why can't you dig it? If people fall in love, dig it! Besides, the company has suffered a fiasco, and now it has been acquired by us, it is a time when people's hearts are in turmoil, who will you dig if you don't dig it? ”

"Understood! It's also good to take advantage of your illness and kill you, and have fewer competitors. ”

"That's it."

"Who got poached? There are three or two big cats and kittens in our company, and several contracted actors are not on the first line, and the second line is swaying, if they want to be popular, they are not popular, and their acting skills are not much better, so they are also poached? ”

"Why doesn't anyone dig it? There is still something to be seen. Not only actors, but also art directors, photographers, gaffers, art props and makeup, etc., have been dug up, and they are poached comprehensively, just to poach you! ”

"What?"

Zhou Yi's face immediately became serious, and he began to think seriously and quickly in his heart.

"Sister Zhuo, if the actor is dug up, it doesn't matter, what kind of actors can't be recruited, some want to get ahead, and besides, with me, we don't lack leading actors, but the behind-the-scenes team can't all be poached! How do we play without a behind-the-scenes team? It is also very troublesome to recruit people again, and it is difficult to say what the level is. ”

"Ah Yi, I naturally understand this truth, so I have stabilized the person for the time being, and it will not hurt my muscles and bones at present."

"That's fine. Thank you Sister Zhuo. ”

"That's what I'm supposed to do."

"What about the current losses?"

"The entertainers and behind-the-scenes staff of the artist department and the production department have left a few young people. People have a lot of money and directly bought out the artist contract. The liquidated damages for the behind-the-scenes personnel are very low, and people naturally want to leave and resign. The technical department and the marketing department have no loss, probably they have their own mature technical departments and marketing teams, and they don't look down on our technical personnel and marketing personnel. ”

"In this way, the main losses are in the artist department and the production department, but these two departments are our foundation and are very important."

"Not bad."

"But what is gratifying is that no one poached our contracted director, probably failed too badly, and other companies were afraid, how dare they dig up, for fear of losing themselves, and vomiting blood and being hospitalized." Sister Zhuo added with a smile.

"It's okay, we can still use it. I'm not afraid of losing. Zhou Yi also smiled.

"But according to what Sister Zhuo said, I don't think the problem is very big. As long as we stabilize the masters behind the scenes, the team will still have cohesion and combat effectiveness, and people's hearts will not disperse. ”

"That's right. For example, our art director Rong Lao was also poached, but he was unmoved, after all, he was old, he had no momentum, and he was unwilling to change places. He is a veteran employee of the company when it was founded and has always been very loyal. ”

Zhou Yi nodded, quite satisfied with this result.

"Sister Zhuo, the masters are experienced and loyal, generally as long as they can support their families, they are basically not willing to change jobs, and they pursue stable jobs, but such people are often stubborn, do not know how to be flexible, and are slow to accept new things. However, stability is also an advantage. Newcomers are generally flexible and changeable, easy to accept new things, but they are often ambitious, highly mobile, unable to bear loneliness, need more opportunities, and job hopping is commonplace. ”

"Now that our company is not large, and it has been hit hard, it is impossible to attract any potential newcomers, so it is very important to stabilize the masters, at least they are not a problem to make films, although they can't play any new tricks, but basically what you want, he can give you something, that's enough."

Zhou Yi doesn't need to be too thoughtful, too innovative director, it is enough to be able to perfectly execute his intentions.

Hearing his opinion, Zhuo Qinglian nodded with satisfaction.

At the beginning, she was worried that Zhou Yi was inexperienced, suddenly poached, at a loss, or young and vigorous, and did not do anything. Although Zhou Yi had always performed well and had a calm temperament before, she was still inevitably worried.

Now she was visibly relieved.

"Ah Yi, it's good that you can think so. However, the company has suffered a sudden change, and it is inevitable that people will be panicked, and you still need to stabilize people's hearts. ”

"Sister Zhuo, I'm afraid they will be even more panicked when they see the age of my new boss."

After all, we can't clearly state the background of the military command!

That doesn't frighten a group of people?

"It depends on what they think. Your age is certainly a disadvantage, but you have the copyright of 007's works in hand, and there are some martial arts urban works, don't worry about no dry goods, is the company still afraid that there will be no films? And you are so young that you can come up with such a large sum of money to buy a company, who knows who is standing behind you? Thinking about this, people's hearts may have stabilized instead. ”

"Huh! That's just as well. ”

"Ah Yi, don't underestimate the wisdom of those old guys. People eat more salt than you eat. Those who can sit in the position of the company's supervisor are all old foxes, not young people, how can they be so easy to make mistakes? If it weren't for the fact that the previous boss suddenly lost his mind and went crazy, at the instigation of someone, he violated the company's always steady development strategy, and wanted to make a blockbuster, and the result was a big man, the company would not have reached this point. ”

"I understand."

"Ah Yi, you have read all the company information I gave you! What do you think? Any tips for this? ”

"Of course I did. I focused on the company's people. ”

Zhou Yi said while thinking about it: "You must know that if a movie can be successful, the credit of the leading actor is great, but the behind-the-scenes work cannot be ignored either, otherwise no matter how good the leading actor is, he will not be able to play." Making movies is teamwork, and having a good team is the foundation of success. ”

"I've seen a few of our company's previous plays, just to see a rough idea, but I can also understand the level of our art director and behind-the-scenes team. I think they still have some ability, maybe not the best, but at least above the level and meet our requirements. ”

"Our previous low-budget films were more aura and successful, and the actors were suitable."

"After all, we are a small company, we can't afford to hire superstars, and we can't sign superstars, and the few actors we signed are basically second-tier, and it's okay to act in small-budget films, but if you play blockbusters, you will have an accident. In five years, the company has made more than a dozen small-budget movies and TV series, and the income is very good. But then, the boss of the company is like he has lost his mind and fallen into evil. ”

"He seems to be completely carried away by success, he doesn't know how much he can eat, he has to catch the trend and make some blockbusters."

In his first blockbuster, he made the Sino-Japanese War blockbuster "Sneak Attack on Vladivostok: Tiger!" that reflected World War II. Tiger! Tiger! 》。 Isn't that crazy? Can you make this kind of war movie? As a result, he lost 30 million in anger. He is engaged in a love triangle in this serious historical war blockbuster, learning from the American style, can we audiences accept it? And this film is about the Japanese army's sneak attack on our Vladivostok military port, revealing the scars of history, and it is so unpleasant, can the audience be happy? Failure is also understandable. ”

"If this film is not a miserable loss, and it has not lost all its money and cannot be turned over, then the next mythological and historical blockbuster is simply a complete tragedy, and it is not too much to describe it as a joke. The owner didn't learn any lessons at all, and all the way to the dark. "The Princes of the Beacon Opera", this is simply teasing me. Can this film be filmed by a small company? Can the actor you signed play the praise? Can the director control such a big scene? The angry loss of 80 million is unbearable. ”

"As for the last film, "Heroes Have Tears", I don't even want to say anything."

"If you can make a commercial blockbuster into an art film, you don't need to mention how miserable you will die, it's completely predictable. And the title of this film is simply a naked mockery, making the film like this, any hero will cry! Can there be no tears? Or blood and tears! The hero has tears and does not flick, just because he has not reached the sad place. The boss didn't vomit blood and was hospitalized! They were all pitted by the director. And in this last film, the boss couldn't trust his director, and hired an award-winning director, but he died even more miserably. ”

Zhuo Qinglian couldn't help laughing, feeling that Zhou Yi's mouth was a little damaged.

Zhou Yi also smiled.

"I summarized the reasons for the company's failure in the previous period, both subjective and objective."

"Subjective reasons, impetuousness, impatience, too rough script, blind imitation, too taken for granted, lost the aura and rigor of previous small productions. The director who makes a small-budget film can't control the big scene, and the actors can't control it, which feels a bit of a collapse. And blindly following the trend, losing your own things, and shooting things that you are not good at, can it not be a bad thing? ”

"For objective reasons, the release schedule was hit by the six major blockbusters in China, and naturally died a miserable death. Can our small company fight the combination of famous directors and superstars? When you make a small-budget film, you don't move other people's cheese, people ignore you, and they don't bother to suppress you. But now that you're making blockbusters, you've obviously crossed the line, how can people turn a blind eye? ”

"Kill the chickens and make an example of the monkeys! If I don't clean you up, who will clean you up? ”

"If we look at the theater data, we will know that the theater chain does not support these films, which is obviously not optimistic."

"If our company wants to develop, we can't really compete with the six major Chinese people, that is self-defeating."

"Cooperation is better than confrontation!"

"In short, the company has failed continuously some time ago, and there are many reasons. However, if we take a closer look at these films, we will find that in fact, the main reason for the failure is the collapse of the plot, the failure of the actors, and the director's control. As for the art director, art, costumes, props, and makeup, the responsibility of these behind-the-scenes personnel is not very great, on the contrary, they still made certain achievements, otherwise the film will collapse even more. I deliberately checked the information of the people behind the company to come to this conclusion. ”

"Some of the criticism on the Internet is not aimed at these behind-the-scenes people, but only at the directors, screenwriters and actors."

Ordinary people may not notice this, but Zhou Yi can see many things for the purpose of discovering talents.

"In this way, a lot of people in our company can be retained."

"Failure is the mother of success, and you can learn from it and start all over again. Failing so many times, there is always something to be gained. Maybe next time it will be successful! These are lessons that are hard to buy. ”

"Sister Zhuo, what do you think?"

Zhuo Qinglian smiled: "Ah Yi, listening to your words, I am completely relieved. We go to the company. Now it's our turn to regroup due east and fight back. Ah Yi, don't always think about laundering money for the military commander. If you can become a big star, you will make the greatest contribution to the military command. ”

"I understand."
