Chapter 283: Schedule Issues
Xu Hong was just habitually complaining, but seeing that Luo Yang shut up stupidly, not discussing the issue of housing prices, and understood Luo Yang's difficulties, he changed the topic with a smile: "Then Mr. Luo, but if Mr. Luo is willing, give me some shares of the company, I will be even happier."
"Hehe, I'll talk about it later", Luo Yang smiled and changed the topic when he heard Xu Hong mention the matter of shares again.
went downstairs, Xu Hong got into Luo Yang's car, and as soon as Luo Yang hit the steering wheel, the car drove towards the place where Poplar Film Company was located.
The car drove for a while, drove on the fork in the road, and after two circles, it arrived at the location of the Poplar Company, Xu Hong got out of the car, looked at the building in front of him, and couldn't help but say: "This place is quite remote, if I come alone, I guess I really can't find this place."
Xu Hong was originally just an unintentional sentence, but Luo Yang said a little embarrassed: "No way, the company has just opened now, many things have not been rolled out yet, a lot of funds are needed, and the company's funds are a little tight, so now only everyone is wronged first, and when the funds are sufficient, they will change places."
Xu Hongjiu has been abroad for a long time, and he has also been infected with the personality habits of foreign people, and he speaks very directly, after hearing Luo Yang's explanation, he reacted, he spoke too directly, and hurriedly said: "I'm sorry, I didn't have a brain to speak, but this place is not bad, although the traffic may be really remote, but the area and environment are really good, anyway, Mr. Luo, didn't you say that this is a place of transition, it's already very good."
Hearing Xu Hong's words, Luo Yang smiled and did not answer.
The two walked upstairs and looked around, this office building is really good, the facilities are very complete, and it is also very spacious, if it is not for the bad geographical location, even if the funds are multiplying several times, they can't find such a haode office building, Xu Hong is also very satisfied with the working environment in the future.
"Okay, Sister Xu, you've also seen the place, I have some things next, I want to ask you, I hope you can help me deal with it", Luo Yang said with a smile to Xu Hong.
"Mr. Luo is too polite, now I am your subordinate, Mr. Luo has something to order, please don't dare to take this word, anyway, the company has not been officially built, I am also very idle", Xu Hong was very clear about his position, and said to Luo Yang with a smile.
"It's not that the contract hasn't been signed yet! In addition, this is not a job that you should be responsible for, so I am a little embarrassed", Luo Yang thought for a while and said: "But since Sister Xu is free, let's deal with this matter first, in fact, this matter is not difficult, I just hope that Sister Xu can recruit the company's employees, and first build up the company's accounting department and publicity department, especially the publicity department, Sister Xu, you may also know that the company has a movie called "Thirty-Three Lovelorns" is about to be released, and when it is officially necessary to vigorously publicize it, Sister Xu, you are mainly responsible for the publicity department, you still need to pay more attention to this matter", in fact, Luo Yang was going to take time to deal with this matter, but this time was also very busy, and neither he nor Zhao Yang had time, since Xu Hong is also a senior member of the company, Luo Yang is ready to hand over this matter to Xu Hong to deal with.
"No problem, I've done a lot of recruitment, and the personnel in these two departments are still very easy to recruit, but does Mr. Luo have any conditions for the employees who apply?" Xu Hong inquired about Luo Yang's recruitment requirements.
"I don't want to mention the extra conditions, and I don't care if I have work experience, after all, no one is born with it, as long as you study these two majors, it is best to be a fresh graduate", Luo Yang thought for a while and mentioned his own requirements.
"Oh, Mr. Luo is different from other bosses, many companies don't like fresh graduates, and prefer those with work experience", Xu Hong's requirements for Luo Yang were a little surprised, I don't like those with work experience, but I like those inexperienced young people, it's really a weird hobby.
"In fact, fresh graduates have more benefits than people with work experience", Luo Yang smiled at Xu Hong, and then said: "Although fresh graduates have no work experience, they are not very proficient in business, but they are simple-minded, compared with those with work experience, they will put more energy into work, rather than trying to fight for power and profit, engage in office politics, and these young people's water chestnuts have not been smoothed out by the cruel reality of society, ideas will be more flying, and there will be a lot of whimsy, so, compared to those sleek, Employees who only listen to the words of their bosses, I prefer these fledgling young people", Luo Yang smiled, and did not hide his thoughts, of course, the most important reason, Luo Yang did not say, that is, when Poplar Network Company was established, the employees were also fresh graduates, young people, but the same work is very good, more passionate about work, and the salary requirements are not high, there are so many benefits, Luo Yang of course emotionally prefers these fresh graduates.
"I understand that you have been so successful in two years", Xu Hong listened to Luo Yang's words and praised: "Different from ordinary people's ideas, this is one of the reasons for your success, haode, Mr. Luo, I understand what you mean, I will try my best to go to the school to recruit and meet your requirements."
"Well, that's trouble", Luo Yang smiled and nodded, thanking Xu Hong.
After the two parties signed the contract, Xu Hong officially joined Poplar Film Company and became the second high-level employee of this company, well, Luo Yang and Fang Lin are not counted, they are the boss and the boss's wife.
After signing the contract, Luo Yang invited Xu Hong to have a meal, and the dinner ended, Xu Hong also began to prepare for the recruitment of employees, Luo Yang said goodbye and returned to the office first.
Back here, as soon as he walked in the door and sat next to his desk, Zhao Yang ran over and said a little anxiously: "Luo Yang, you're here, I was just about to call you, I have something to tell you!"
Looking at Zhao Yang's somewhat anxious look, Luo Yang also knew that there must be something urgent, so he hurriedly said: "Sit down and talk slowly, if there is something, we will discuss and solve it"!
Zhao Yang also hurriedly breathed a sigh of relief, relieved his anxious emotions, and then sat opposite Luo Yang, and said: "That's the case, we weren't originally scheduled to be officially released on Valentine's Day in February, "Thirty-three Days of Broken Love", but after we notified the schedule to the Cinema Alliance, we just gave an answer, Valentine's Day in February is the time when many blockbusters are released, so we can't arrange a suitable schedule, and we want to advance and postpone the release time, if we insist on releasing it on that day, The cinema chain can't guarantee that our release grade and time will satisfy us."
Hearing Zhao Yang's words, Luo Yang was suddenly a little depressed, it was originally scheduled to be released on Valentine's Day, because Luo Yang wanted that many couples would go to the movies on Valentine's Day, which was the highest box office schedule for the movie, but facts have proved that not only Luo Yang thinks so, but others also think so, and the most tragic thing is that although Luo Yang's current fame is not small, after all, he has not actually proved himself, the director of "District Nine" is Chen Yimou! It is impossible for the cinema chain to give up the movie schedules of other famous directors to Luo Yang because Luo Yang is the screenwriter of "The Ninth District", the other party's words are already a warning, if Luo Yang insists on choosing to release it on Valentine's Day, the theater grade and time will not satisfy Luo Yang, which means that it is possible to arrange your movie to be released in a side hall or in the middle of the night, so don't raise the bar with us.
"This damn cinema party, a mercenary guy", hearing Zhao Yang's words, Luo Yang was in a very bad mood, and hammered the table hard, no way, who called himself not famous now, and he didn't prove himself in the movie, otherwise he still needs the theater party to pick himself? Just don't pick them yourself.
The so-called movie schedule, in fact, was not born for a long time, only twenty or thirty years, at that time, the film industry was becoming more and more developed, and the film output was increasing, but there were only so many prime schedules, so everyone was vying for it, making the industry very chaotic.
Since then, under the efforts of relevant industry personnel, the new term film schedule has appeared in front of everyone's eyes, they have specialized in studying the main audience groups in different time periods, arranging movies that are suitable for the tastes of mainstream audiences during this period, and according to these differences, a set of commercial behaviors and promotional methods have been formulated, and it is natural that it has achieved great success, so these experiences have been learned from everyone, and later developed and improved, and the new term film schedule has become more and more familiar to everyone, such as what Spring Festival schedule, That's what the Golden Week schedule means.
Start the arrangement of these schedules, the cinema party is not involved, by the film's producer, or the producer decides, the cinema can only passively accept, a long time, the original is also very unhappy, weishenme only takes care of your interests, so the cinema alliance was established in this case, many cinemas are reasonable, set up a special department, review these things, of course, the core of which is interests, that movie has more potential, more audiences like it, and those movies are better scheduled.
The fame of the directors and actors naturally occupies the largest weight, and it is also the most important basis for the theater alliance to review these movies and arrange schedules.
Although the actors of "Thirty-three Days of Broken Love" are not bad, they are not particularly strong, among which Zhang Fei is a well-known influence on the movie, although Lin Yun is called the leader of the sweetheart, but it is the TV circle, and the film industry is still a newcomer, Sun Hao They are not to mention second-tier stars, Luo Yang is just a director who is not famous and has no real works, and the theater is naturally not looking down on it, and he is unwilling to hand over the prime time to the movie "Thirty-three Days of Broken Love", what if no one watches it, wouldn't the theater side lose a lot.
And Luo Yang has nothing to do about it, although Chen Yimou has a very high status in the film industry, he can't affect the theater alliance, they only see interests, and interests are more important than everything.
