Chapter 56 Reloading the System
The reorganization of the Phantom is inevitable, and there are many regular employees in the company, but there is no overall plan, and I don't even know what department it belongs to, which is really very fatal. It is undeniable that this is the same biggest mistake Xiao Ran made in the early stage, he failed to correctly estimate the potential and development of his company, and even did not estimate how many people he could get.
However, Xiao Ran himself has never done management before, just an ordinary person, of course he doesn't know what the company should do. It was inevitable that such a mistake would occur, but fortunately, Wei Dongling quickly raised the problem and did not cause any losses. This allowed Xiao Ran to learn a lesson, a very important lesson.
"I've already written the restructuring plan!" Wei Dongling looked at Xiao Ran with a serious expression, if Xiao Ran was unwilling to accept the restructuring plan, then he would definitely resign, because that would prove that the company had no future: "I'm waiting for you to make a decision now!" ”
After taking Wei Dongling's plan, Xiao Ran slowly browsed it. Strictly speaking, Xiao Ran didn't know much about the details mentioned in the plan, but he still knew what the structure of the company should be.
Wei Dongling must have found an expert reference, and the reorganization plan was very detailed, which opened Xiao Ran's eyes. First of all, in terms of administrative management, this Xiao Ran doesn't care, Wei Dongling is basically the first leader of the company, and he is naturally qualified to make decisions.
In fact, relatively speaking, other departments are not very important, nor are they the most worthy of attention. Xiao Ran is concerned about several other departments, the planning department, the production department, the distribution department, the finance department and the artist training department.
The planning department is mainly responsible for the pre-preparation of the film, such as what ideas are needed to make the film, and the script. The production department is the entire actual shooting, with the largest number of personnel. Finally, the artist training department is mainly for the training of newcomers, as well as the department of agents.
A structure like this is like a formal film company, and of course, this structure is no different from the restructuring structure that Xiao Ran envisioned a year later. However, for now, this advance is definitely important.
In this plan, Wei Dongling even listed the suitable candidates for department heads for Xiao Ran to choose. However, Xiao Ran is now thinking about whether the company is too small and may not be able to accommodate as many people.
Of course, he soon came to the answer, except for the production and distribution department, there is not much manpower in other departments at all, and the space is sufficient. Thinking of this, he had already decided to let Wei Dongling take care of the company. Besides, he didn't want to cause the company to go bankrupt because of his stupidity and ignorance.
"Tomorrow, Fang Ruohai will transfer a sum of money and use this money to buy the best equipment from American companies." Xiao Ran is a fool and knows that 10 million is far from enough to buy a full set of equipment, so he hurriedly added: "The money is definitely not enough, so let's buy photographic equipment and recording equipment first, as well as film or something!" ”
Photographic equipment and film are for visual enjoyment, while recording equipment is for auditory enjoyment. Xiao Ran didn't dare to imagine that he could defeat Golden Harvest in one fell swoop, but he thought that as long as he could get this batch of equipment, he would be able to fight with Golden Harvest in terms of picture quality and sound effects.
Wei Dongling smiled, asked the female secretary to send some information in, and handed it to Xiao Ran: "Look at it, you don't need to go to the United States to buy these equipment, there are companies in Hong Kong that are doing agency business." It's a little bit higher, but I think it's worth it than going to the United States! ”
Xiao Ran stared at Wei Dongling in a daze, he didn't expect Wei Dongling to have full understanding and preparation. He also knew that if he bought it in the United States, he would definitely not be able to get it in the short term. Therefore, he is ready to rent equipment from Golden Harvest. It's just that it doesn't seem necessary now.
Don't think that the Phantom Company's three new films have already started filming when they come up with the budget, Xiao Ran is now waiting for Fa Ge, "God of Gamblers" needs Fa Ge to gain weight. However, the prequel to "The True Color of Heroes" requires Fa Ge to maintain his current shape, so Xiao Ran had to wait for a while. Fortunately, the on-site shooting of this prequel has been completed, and now Fa Ge is working hard to gain weight.
The Phantom's reorganization went smoothly under Wei Dongling's control, and the company held its first high-level meeting three days later. The funny thing is that although Wei Dongling's office is relatively large, it still looks very crowded if there are several department heads in the fortress. Akari naturally didn't say anything, but I don't know how many times I muttered in my heart that the company was too picky.
Xiao Ran successfully got out of the production department (now renamed the production department) this time, but unfortunately the company still needs an art director. The so-called art director is a rather detached position, which is related to the production department, and is qualified to transfer all the personnel of the production department to direct and establish the style of the film.
This difficult position is not easy, and the art director needs a heavyweight who can control the scene, such as Xu Ke, who is very suitable. It's a pity that Xu Ke obviously has no reason to come and do it with Xiao Ran. And Xiao Ran knows that he knows the style of some directors in the future, so the most suitable person for this position is undoubtedly him.
In short, the company's affairs are so busy that coupled with script creation, there is no time to even pursue Fang Ruoxin. It wasn't until the third day after the company's reorganization that Xiao Ran relaxed.
handed over the script of "A Chinese Ghost Story" to Xu Ke, and in less than two days, Xu Ke promised to come over to direct the film. At this time, Yu Jiayu had already recruited all the crew together, and after the worship ceremony, "God of Gamblers" officially started filming.
The film has a very strong lineup both in front of and behind the scenes, starring Zhou Yanfa , Liu Hua , Fang Ruoxin , and Zhang Min, as for the villain in the film is played by Ren Dahua. The famous killer Long Wu, since he was played by Yongsheng boss Xiang Qiang at the beginning, Xiao Ran will never refuse to make a cameo.
Originally, Xiao Ran planned to let the whole company's contracted artists make cameos in the film, but thinking that Liu Qingyun and Zhou Xingchi still have a chance to win the best newcomer, they can't help but give up this very tempting idea.
1987 finally came, Xiao Ran was very happy, but also very depressed to welcome the arrival of this day. Of course, the day before, he deliberately went home once. And today is New Year's Day, Xiao Ran doesn't know where to go.
Fortunately, Lin Qingxia called him to ask him to go to dinner, which saved Xiao Ran from loneliness. Coming to a restaurant that he often visits, Xiao Ran just sat down, looked at Lin Qingxia, who was more and more revealing today, and suddenly couldn't help but rub his nose.
After ordering food and chatting while eating, and chatting about some gossip things, Xiao Ran quickly mentioned the company's affairs: "Sister Lin, you don't know, I've been so tired recently that I'm about to collapse!" Maybe I'll have to see a psychiatrist one day! ”
Lin Qingxia naturally didn't know that Xiao Ran was exaggerating, Wei Dongling was handling all the things in the company's management, and he was tired of Xiao Ran. But Lin Qingxia still said softly with concern: "Ah Ran, if you feel tired, don't do it again." Actually, I think you're very good as a screenwriter, you don't need to work so hard anymore! ”
"Men, it's all about their careers!" Xiao Ran shook his fingers disapprovingly, in fact, he may not be selfish when he said it. According to him, if you want to pursue Fang Ruoxin, career success is undoubtedly a kind of capital: "By the way, Sister Lin, there are no films in the company that are suitable for you recently, maybe you have to take a break for a while!" ”
"It just so happens that I want to take a break!" Lin Qingxia smiled, this move was exactly what she wanted: "However, I see that the Phantom Company is doing a similar job, I didn't expect that you, a little brother, are doing a great job!" ”
"It's over, it's over! To be honest, Sister Lin, what kind of roles and films do you want to play? Maybe I can create a script just for you. Xiao Ran shook his head for a while, and finally held back the rest of the words: "For example, a little bit of literature?" Or is it a little more commercial? ”
"It's all the same, I'm tired of acting in so many literary films in Taiwan." Lin Qingxia sighed softly.
Xiao Ran thought of Fa Ge, who will be the best actor for "The True Color of Heroes" and "Autumn Fairy Tale". He hopes to establish a myth for Hong Kong films and actors, a real myth. He wants Fa Ge to win the actor three times in a row, which is a truly indestructible myth.
However, this is obviously not easy. Fa Ge's peak year was 1987, and three films were shortlisted for Best Actor. Now that history has changed, Xiao Ran must make all preparations for Fa Ge's third emperor.
Similarly, Lin Qingxia's acting skills are not bad, but she has never been sealed, which has always been something that Xiao Ran deeply regrets. Fortunately, he now controls a film company, and it is obviously not very difficult to want Lin Qingxia to be sealed, especially when Lin Qingxia is not very picky about the role.
"However, I don't understand, why did you sign the screenwriter and the photographer?" Lin Qingxia doesn't know much about management, in fact, even an expert may not understand Xiao Ran's deep meaning: "In this way, the company's expenses will be very large!" ”
Xiao Ran smiled slightly, and there was a hidden general demeanor: "Don't get in the way, movies are an art that emphasizes creativity, without them, there would be no better films." Only high-quality movies can become the objects favored by the audience! So, in filmmaking, they are the main ones. ”
Lin Qingxia shook her head, she understood what Xiao Ran meant, but she didn't think that doing this would do any good to the Phantom Company: "After a while, the list of nominations for the Academy Awards will come out, maybe you can win the award this time!" ”
Winning a prize? This is Xiao Ran's hatred in his heart, although he hopes to win this award, but he doesn't want to take it in the case of plagiarizing others' success. After chatting for a while, I suddenly saw a very familiar middle-aged man walking over accompanied by two subordinates, and the middle-aged man sat next to Xiao Ran with a smile: "Boss Xiao, I can be regarded as finding you this time!" ”
Looking at this familiar face, Xiao Ran suddenly remembered that this was Wang Yu, a very famous red star in the Shaw era, and his eyes glanced at Lin Qingxia, but he saw her shake her head gently. Xiao Ran thought that she didn't know Wang Yu, but when she felt strange, Wang Yu introduced herself with a smile: "My name is Wang Yu, and I am currently running a film company, and everyone is a peer!" ”
Glancing at the two tall guys behind him, Xiao Ran frowned slightly, this Wang Yu likes to play music very much, and actually let the bodyguard follow him. Of course, on the surface, he naturally didn't show any unhappiness about being disturbed for dinner: "I have heard of Mr. Wang's name for a long time, I don't know what happened to Your Excellency?" ”
