Chapter 960: George's Ideal
George is a very capable and emotionally intelligent person, otherwise it would not have been possible to develop a crisis-ridden ESPN into an N0 in American sports television in seven or eight years. 1, and in terms of TV dramas and variety shows, it also came from behind, ranking among the top few in the United States.
Since Sun Ziming competed for the license of Hong Kong Satellite TV and the license of Hanjiang TV in South Korea, everyone is speculating about when the three groups will merge? However, George did not think so, he always believed that it was impossible for the three groups to merge, because the cultural and geographical differences were too great. Most likely, a head office would be established, and then the three groups would be merged under the umbrella of this head office, and the three groups would maintain their independence, and then Sun Ziming himself would mediate.
At the beginning, Sun Ziming also thought about merging the three groups into one at the right time, but as time went by, he found that this was an impossible task. With Hong Kong as the lead, the United States will be the first to rebel, and the American Light and Shadow Group, which has assets of tens of billions of dollars, how can it succumb to Hong Kong with peace of mind?
The American Light and Shadow Group can have today's scale because of George and a large group of people, and those backbone personnel are all sought-after talents in the industry. If they are placed in a subordinate position, they are likely to be poached by competitors and there will be a large number of resignations. If those backbones are gone, why do you need an empty shelf?
The American side is dominant? Hong Kong Light and Shadow Group will also be dissatisfied, and the United States cannot guide the development of Hong Kong and Seoul, in fact, it still maintains its independence.
If that is the case, it would be better to maintain the status quo and set up an institution that overrides the three to mediate the interaction and cooperation between the three groups. Before Sun Ziming returned to the United States, he specially went back to Hong Kong and discussed with his great-uncle and them, and then came to discuss with George.
"George, I want Rui to be the general assistant to the chairman's office, what do you think?"
George took a sip of black coffee, hesitated, and asked, "Ming, have you decided?" ”
"It's decided, what you said before makes sense, the cultural and geographical gap is too big, and it is better to maintain their independence."
"Ok, then I'll be my deputy again, so that everyone won't disobey the yin. But, Ming, you have to appease Alexander, she is important to our group. ”
Sun Ziming and Li Rui were stunned, they didn't expect George to cooperate so much. If the Light and Shadow Film Company has Sun Ziming as the soul, then ESPN has George as the soul, if he does not agree, Sun Ziming will not be able to forcibly appoint Guò personnel, and even if he is forcibly appointed, they will be hollowed out, unless George is dismissed.
That's even more impossible, before George didn't make a serious mistake, even if Sun Ziming absolutely controlled the Light and Shadow Group, he didn't dare to act rashly, because that involved the overall situation. If a team can't even guarantee the minimum fairness, then the team's life will come to an end. Unless Sun Ziming can find a successor who is better than George in a short period of time, and can continue to advance with the Light and Shadow Group, the turmoil of the heavy dà is inevitable, and it is very likely that it will collapse.
Apple just squeezed Jobs out of the way, what was the result? If he hadn't been invited back later, a generation of giant companies might have been liquidated and bankrupt!
"George, thank you for your understanding. Alexander's work, I'll do it. ”
George put down the coffee cup, slapped his hands with his grandson Ming, and quipped, "Ming, this is not your style!" When you first got ESPN, middle management fired you half and beat up a basketball director. ”
"This time and that time", Sun Ziming sighed and said with relief: "However, it also proves that I was right to hand over ESPN to you in the first place." George, you are a great professional manager! ”
The two laughed, and George picked up the coffee cup again, and said with emotion: "Ming, time flies so fast." You know? I really hope to see that our Light and Shadow Group can become the best media group in the world. If this ideal can be realized, it will be worth the hard work and tiredness. ”
Sun Ziming also picked up the teacup and signaled, "George, it will." Believe me, in another ten years, we must be the best media group in the world! When the time comes, your name will work with light and shadow to create a great legend! ”
……
With Li Rui entering ESPN, how the three parties can work together is on the agenda. At present, Hollywood's influence is all-round, as long as you show your face in Hollywood movies and TV series, you can be named an international superstar in Asia. At the beginning, Lee Young-ae was arranged by the light and shadow company, and often played a small supporting role with a few lines in Hollywood movies. Don't look at those people in Hollywood, they often sneer at her, saying that she came to Hollywood to rub the red carpet, but it is very helpful for her development in Asia, and she is also the envy of many Asian actors.
How smart is Li Rui? After sorting out the work situation, he went to Sun Ziming's house and flattered: "Brother Ming, I want to arrange for Miss Fan to come here to try, what do you think?" ”
Sun Ziming, who was about to go to New York to see his daughter, subconsciously prepared to agree, but swallowed back the words when they came to his mouth. That girl has ambition and scheming, if she is put on the fast track to success so quickly, she will definitely swell so much, and it is inevitable that she will walk sideways in the circle and proclaim herself 'Fan Ye' in advance.
"Nope"
"Brother Ming", Li Rui was stunned.
Sun Ziming put down the teacup in his hand and reprimanded Li Rui, "Ah Rui, be fair in life and do things." Only when the strength is equal, can we consider human feelings, otherwise how can we convince people? Bing Bin can't even speak English, if you choose her to Hollywood, what will the people below think? ”
"Yes", Li Rui stood up.
Since the big guy doesn't take care of his girlfriend, he can only rely on his strength, Li Rui hesitated: "Brother Ming, if that's the case, there is no suitable candidate in the mainland at all." ”
"How?"
As soon as Sun Ziming finished asking, he knew that the crux of the problem was that mainland actors all relied on talent to enter film schools or drama schools, and most of their cultural achievements were very bad. If you want to come to the United States to gild, the first thing you have to pass is the language barrier, when Jiang Wenlai starred in "Shanghai Noon", if it weren't for the role setting that he was a guard of the Qing Dynasty, he would not have considered him to come over to perform.
Li Rui, as Sun Ziming's confidant, knows what his boss thinks, but this language problem is not something that can be solved in the short term.
"Brother Ming, then you can only consider the candidates from the Hanjiang Group, Lao Park and Li Xiuman recommend Kim Hee-sun and Shen Yinhe, what do you think?"
The two of them were too impressed, but they still motioned to Li Rui to put the VCD, "Take a look at their images." ”
"Oh, I think that Miss Kim is very beautiful, and if she was gilded with us, she would be very popular when she returned to Asia. Shen Yinhe's acting skills are good, and she is also very famous in South Korea, if we praise her again, it is estimated that it will be difficult to sign a long-term contract with her, and it is not very cost-effective. ”
The idea is right, except for those very talented actors, the rest of the time it should be done as a business. Kim Hee-sun is still only a third-rate actor, and giving her a chance to become popular is easy for her to sign a long-term contract and make money for the company.
Sun Ziming glanced at Kim Hee-sun on TV a few times, determined that she was the future number one beauty in Korea, nodded and agreed: "Well, just choose her." Give Yuan Mei a call and ask her to arrange for her artists to learn English, especially those with potential red. ”
"Yes, then I'll go back to the company first."
"Hmm"
Li Rui took out the disc from the DVD player, sandwiched it in the Wen Jiàn folder and left, and didn't even show Sun Ziming the information about Li Bingbin recommended by Yuan Mei. Since that girl is Miss Fan's opponent and doesn't speak much English, there is no need to let the big guy see it anymore.
Out of the manor, Li Rui parked the car on the side of the road, took out the phone and pressed a few numbers, explaining: "Miss Fan, I let your friend out, but you didn't get through to Guò." No, no, you misunderstood, the main thing was your language problem, which was vetoed by your colleagues in the United States. I propose that you put down your work and come to the United States to learn languages.
I believe that with your cleverness, you will be able to speak well in two or three months, and it will not be too late for me to arrange it then. ”
