[Chapter 01: New Students] (3) Professionals do professional things
On the first day of Tang Qingyou's employment, the newcomers had not yet come to report, and only Ren Taichu was on duty at the top level, Xue Jia personally took her to say hello to Ren Taichu, and then guided the Nanshan Grand Theater. In fact, the large theater that has been built in China in recent years has been built in a hurry to build these fully equipped theaters, but from the hardware facilities itself, it has already thrown off a large number of old theaters in Europe for hundreds of years, but the operation situation is very different, it is a bit unspeakable.
Nanshan Grand Theater has three large and small theaters, of which the large theater is the opera hall, with a total of 1,700 seats on three floors of audience seats, an internationally accepted zigzag stage, with a depth of 80 by 50 meters, and the mechanical system configuration of the stage under the stage includes the main and side stage lifting platforms, the rear stage car turntable, the orchestra pit lifting platform in front of the stage, and the auxiliary lifting platform, the compensation platform, and the warehouse for storing the ballet stage board. The stage machinery system configuration includes various set booms, lighting booms, anti-acoustic devices, movable false platform entrances, fire curtains, single-point cranes and other stage-specific suspension machinery and equipment; The stage lighting system mainly includes lighting control system, network transmission system, lighting system, dimming system, pipeline auxiliary materials and other parts; The sound reinforcement system includes the main sound reinforcement system, the auxiliary sound reinforcement system, the stage and control room monitoring system, the audience hall and the stage effect sound system, all of which use the current international first-class brand products.
Tang Qingyou heard so many professional terms at first glance, and he was still mechanical, so he was a little dizzy. But after all, she is a veteran of the shopping mall, and she can't help but be suspicious when she hears the end, she doesn't hide it, and if there is a problem, she says: "I don't understand the machinery, but I understand it, they are all using world-class facilities and equipment." It's just that how is this world-class defined? ”
Xue Jia probably didn't expect Tang Qingyou to ask such a question, and was stunned for a few seconds before sorting out an answer in a blank mind: "Our North and South Cinema Line is one of the best cinema chains in the domestic performance industry, with many years of experience, and many experts in stage technology. After all, we are using this thing, and we definitely hope that it will be easy to use, and the competent authorities will not want us to ask them to apply for a replacement equipment every once in a while. ”
"That is to say, our cinema chain has a special expert group in the field of stage technology, and has made a set of technical equipment standards required for the implementation of theater acceptance, and the negotiation of theater operation and management rights in various places can be directly implemented by comparison?"
Xue Jia was stunned for a moment and smiled: "We have a lot of experts in the field of stage technology, and there are no regular expert groups, and there are not enough talents." The technical implementation standards have not yet been written, after all, the situation is different from place to place, and the equipment that has been negotiated in the end has also been adjusted. For example, each theater stage will be equipped with a grand piano spare, generally our theater will ask for Sijia, which is also a summary of our experience based on the performance requirements of most international piano masters, but there was a theater before the negotiation process was particularly funny, the local authorities have always had a practice in the purchase of musical instruments, the unit price can not exceed 1 million, so I do not agree to configure Sijia. For such a small matter, the negotiation process dragged on for half a month. ”
"And in the end?"
In the end, the leader of the group came forward and approached the mayor of the local cultural department, and unfortunately told the mayor that we could accept the musical instrument brand designated by the competent department, but in this way, the original clause that promised to bring in at least 1-2 international pianists every year may be deleted. After all, from Zhou Guangren, Liu Shikun, Yin Chengzong to Chen Sa, Lang Lang, Li Yundi, from Evgeny Kissin to Martha Argerich, even Richard Clayderman and Marx Mlvica, who can play outdoors in any circle, the unified piano standard for most international pianists is the Sijia piano. The mayor weighed the pros and cons and ordered the competent authorities to 'let the professionals do the professional work'. ”
Tang Qingyou smiled and nodded, his eyes flashing. Xue Jia didn't know that this was the expression she would only show when her heart longed for it.
Tang Qingyou suddenly had a vague concept of the future development space, and followed Xue Jia with great interest to continue to visit the 500-seat small theater, the 150-seat black box theater, as well as the supporting conference rooms, rehearsal halls, piano rooms, dressing rooms, etc., and finally turned back to the office area and went to various departments to take pictures one by one.
She also finally confirmed that the recruitment information was correct, and she was indeed the first person in the preparatory army for the opening of the Nanshan Grand Theater - at present, if the high-level executives from the theater and the initial management team members of each department carried by them are not counted, she, the brand promotion director of the operation center, is already the highest position among the locally recruited personnel, and the others are specialists and interns in various positions, especially interns. In this way, it does not live up to the compromises of her self-demotion to the third level of submission of the name.
According to the relevant regulations of the North and South Cinema Lines, as a directly operated theater, the management structure of Nanshan Grand Theater consists of a high-level management and a middle-level center system, of which the senior management has a team of 3-6 people, including the general manager, the executive deputy general manager, the deputy general manager and the assistant to the general manager, which is directly dispatched by the theater chain and implements sub-control; The middle management includes the operation center, program center, property center, technology center, finance department, personnel department, administrative office and other departments and center directors, deputy directors, as well as managers, deputy managers and supervisors of various sectors. In other words, in the food chain of the theater management team, Tang Qingyou is now at the bottom.
- I finally squeezed into the management team. Tang Qingyou comforted himself like this in his heart.
Because the leader in charge did not arrive at the post, Tang Qingyou didn't know what she could do for a while, and when the office furniture arrived, she ran to help the administrative office, leading the workers to each office to arrange the furniture according to the list, and was busy until tea time at noon.
Those second-hand desks and chairs for temporary office work were finally eliminated, and Tang Qingyou was also assigned to his own workstation.
The operation center is the largest central department of the entire theater, and it naturally occupies the largest general office, including ticketing, publicity, key customers and brand four sections, the opening is the premiere, and the ticketing work must go ahead, so the ticket supervisor is a familiar hand drawn from other theaters, and every day with a group of new Ding in the ticket hall on the first floor to work hard, and the performances will be put on the shelves one by one to the ticketing system of various network electronic channels. In addition to the ticketing staff is complete, the publicity supervisor and key account supervisor have not been recruited in place, at present, the entire operation center is the most "big" and "promising" of Tang Qingyou - listen to the meaning of Xue Jia's words, the ticket supervisor will return to the original unit after training the newcomers, and the most important assessment content of the person in charge of the operation center around the country is the brand operation ability.
After tidying up his workstation and wiping down the desktop and various corners, Tang Qingyou leaned on the back of the chair, and on one side, he saw the emptiest piece of land in this space through the small glass partition at the back, covering an area of 1/3 of the south area of the operation center office, which was furnished with huge director's desks and chairs, bookshelves, lockers, and five-piece sofa coffee tables.
In this way, the directors of the central departments of the theater do not have completely independent offices, and the space and facilities are very limited, which is really not worth mentioning compared to the luxurious space that Tang Qingyou enjoys in Yida. But at this moment, it has become Tang Qingyou's goal - although he is only a freshman in the theater management industry at the moment, after all, he has been a successful cultural enterprise executive for several years, and it is difficult to say that it is far away, just a position three steps behind him. She was full of confidence, and she didn't expect that this short three-step distance would be so long in the days that followed.
The brand-new office was empty, there was no information that could be consulted, computers and other electrical equipment were not yet in place, Tang Qingyou opened his laptop, boredly searched for relevant information about the North and South Cinema Line and Nanshan Grand Theater, but did not expect that except for a dynamic news of operation and management, there was no more news. Tang Qingyou was full of questions, and Xue Jia came to the door: "You don't have anything to do, right?" Your leader will only come over the day after tomorrow, and I just asked Mr. Ren to send you some temporary tasks. ”
Tang Qingyou chuckled in his heart, and pointed to the director's desk behind him: "Director Xue means that the director of operations will arrive the day after tomorrow?" ”
Xue Jia waved his hand: "How can the director of operations be so easy to find, and he has to continue to be empty." I'm talking about Xie Zheng, the deputy general manager in charge of the operation center and the technology center, Mr. Xie. After speaking, he looked at Tang Qingyou: "You have a lot of room for development, you have to work hard!" ”
Tang Qingyou was seen through his heart at a glance, and he was confused, so he could only laugh generously: "Do your best, obey the destiny of heaven." ”
Xue Jia smiled knowingly, naturally he wouldn't say anything more, introduced Xie Zheng's situation a little, and then arranged the work: "The publicity director can't find it for a while, Mr. Ren and I have studied your resume, you have relevant work experience, and the amount of tasks in the early stage of the brand promotion work is not heavy, so after discussing it, it was decided that you would take on the work of the publicity director first, bring a few newcomers, and make adjustments when the opening performance season is over." What do you think? ”
It's what it means to do two jobs with one salary. Tang Qingyou has never been a person who cares, but one of the principles of the royal family has always been clear is to distinguish powers and responsibilities so as not to let subordinates feel at a loss, although at this moment I feel that the operation of temporary propaganda work is not very reasonable, but I don't want to behave in a calculating position when I first arrive, and secondly, I also put myself in the shoes of the high-level and think about it - it should really just be a moment and a half to find a suitable person to be the propaganda director, she agreed without much hesitation.
Xue Jia saw that Tang Qing was refreshed and refreshed, so he didn't wait for the next day, and awarded the first publicity task before getting off work: "There has been no media coverage since the signing ceremony of the theater operation and management authorization, you can arrange it, there will be a demonstration of stage lighting machinery tomorrow afternoon, and it is best to notify the media to come and visit at 4 o'clock in the afternoon." By the way, about the basic situation of the theater being operated and managed by the North and South Cinema Lines, you probably have to work overtime at home tonight to write the media release, and review it for President Ren tomorrow morning, so that there will be something for people when the media comes. ”
"Would you like to prepare some souvenirs or something?"
"The souvenirs are still being produced in other places, and they will be there when they open. It's okay, Mr. Ren said, just let the media come over to visit, send a message out, it's a trivial matter. ”
Tang Qingyou hesitated for a moment and didn't continue to ask, after all, Xue Jia was just a communicator. She did a little grooming and knocked on the door of the general manager's office before leaving work.
Tang Qingyou did useless work to prevent the text from going wrong, and first reported to Ren Taichu about his outline of the draft, listed several news points, and Ren Taichu added a little "bring in and go out", which can be regarded as the direction. Then, she put forward the needs of the media work the next day to Ren Taichu: "Mr. Ren, tomorrow's media reception requires you to approve a sum of cash in advance as the transportation and horse expenses of media reporters. I'm worried about the tight schedule for tomorrow morning, so I'll ask you for advice first. ”
When Ren Taichu heard this, he instantly restrained his consistent smile like Maitreya Buddha, and looked at Tang Qingyou with an incredulous expression: "Let the media send a report and pay for the carriage and horses?" What's going on? Why haven't I heard of it? ”
Tang Qingyou felt a little like being hit by the five thunders, and he was stunned for a moment, almost doubting himself. It took a few seconds to come back to his senses and said in a low voice: "For the media conference, the carriage and horse expenses must be prepared." ”
Ren Taichu had an expression of "I don't believe it, I don't believe it": "I haven't heard the media do things like this, let's talk about it later." Tomorrow is not a formal press conference, or the media is invited to recognize the door, even if it is a simple briefing, just take them around and send a press release. ”
"But ......" Tang Qingyou wanted to persuade again, but saw Ren Taichu waving his hand impatiently.
Ren Taichu didn't have the slightest desire to listen, so he interrupted her directly: "That's it." You go and write. ”
Tang Qingyou left the general manager's office with a touch of dust, returned to the operation center and faced the empty office and the four walls, and couldn't find a person to discuss, so he turned back to Xue Jia to do some basic homework, and learned a little bit about the "operation instructions", and originally thought about whether he could make a move or something, but after listening to Xue Jia's pointing, he silently sent a message to Minglan for help without waiting to get home.
Xue Jia introduced to her with a habitual face, in view of the fact that the business license and other related procedures of the Nanshan Grand Theater had just begun to be handled, and the company didn't even have an account, so naturally it didn't have a penny - it really responded to the intern's proverb on the day of the interview, the leather bag company. Therefore, in a short period of time, don't think too much about the publicity expenses on the table and the carriage and horse fees under the table, and there is not a penny. However, the Nanshan Grand Theater is a national-level and international high-end performing arts venue, and the momentum and specifications of media publicity must be put forward, which cannot be ambiguous.
Tang Qingyou couldn't cry or laugh a little, but firstly, the leader's decision had been made, and the arrow had to be sent on the string, and secondly, what Xue Jia said was only the status quo after all, and it would not be like this for long, so he thought, come on, sister, I want to find a way to solve the current difficulties! It's great to the end, requisition the Internet water army - this is Tang Qingyou's hole card, she naturally will not use it easily, Ren Taichu Xue Jia sings and sentences in the organ newspaper and the mainstream media, which also determines the official positioning of the Nanshan Grand Theater, and will not easily adopt the subversive means of "the countryside surrounds the city".
