Chapter 285: President and CEO
Robert just proposed to put the Terminator's schedule in the Christmas file, the biggest audience of this kind of hard science fiction is students, Christmas students are all on vacation, and Da Ming, foreign adults are also busy with the New Year, students are indeed the most free, this schedule is naturally the best choice, not to mention that it is not far from Christmas now.
It's not surprising that the coach is proposing this schedule for him, and it would not be possible to do it if he didn't have this vision, the executives of Columbia. Even though Robert is the head of the sports department, he is considered a relatively marginal high-end in Colombia, but he can achieve this position in the entertainment industry of the mold country.
But as soon as he finished speaking, he heard someone say, "I'm against it." ”
Brush!
The people in the conference room turned their heads to look at the person who was speaking, and Robert looked over as well.
But he couldn't help but be in awe, he didn't expect the young lady to be such a loyal person.
It turned out that it was Paul's little assistant Elaine, who was talking, and she panicked when she saw the admiring gazes that everyone projected at her.
"No, no, no, don't get me wrong!"
Elaine almost wanted to slap herself to death, but when she saw Robert speak, she subconsciously said I object, and she didn't mean to be upset with Paul at all.
The people of the moldy country are free to change jobs, but they also depend on what level, and when it comes to her level, it is definitely the most stable class.
The executives above her as scarce resources are not lacking in competitors often poaching people, and the ordinary management under her is generally not deep in seniority and frequent job hopping, only the managers in between the two are the most embarrassing, and it is actually not easy to jump to the next level, so it is generally a company to stay up to the top management before considering job hopping.
If this offends the boss, she can only apply for ordinary managers if she changes jobs now, how can she be willing.
But she can't stand up and say it now, boss, I just said it in passing, and then I will be looked down upon by my boss.
Elaine gritted her teeth and said: "Actually, I just think that such an excellent film can't be decided hastily, although the Christmas file is the most suitable schedule for the terminator, but we also have to analyze the competitors, the film market in the moldy country is not sluggish now, if two blockbusters are released at the same time, I'm afraid the market will be difficult to accommodate, and it is likely to be a lose-lose situation." ”
Yingshuai didn't know that her opposition just now was just an unintentional mistake, but listening to what she said made sense, and she nodded secretly.
Elaine was also secretly paying attention to the boss's reaction, and was relieved to see Yingshuai's expression.
Even Paul's die-hard loyalists have this attitude, and what objections will others have, everyone carefully analyzed the opponents of the Christmas schedule, and finally determined the schedule of the Terminator.
Yingshuai also has no intention of guiding the atmosphere of the company, although at present, everyone is still respectful and afraid of himself, and he is afraid to express his opinions, but compared to Paul, the big boss, the internal friction is still a lot better, I am afraid that only by finding the right helm will it get better.
Thinking of this, the handsome man said: "Okay, now that the matter is over, let's break up the meeting." ”
Everyone was about to leave, and the hero said, "That Robert will stay for a while." ”
After everyone left the conference room, Robert handed a letter to the handsome with some embarrassment.
"I'm sorry boss, although I know that the company will grow rapidly under your leadership in the future, but I have already agreed to the invitation of others, so I can only say sorry. ”
The handsome opened the letter noncommittally, glanced at it hurriedly, and suddenly looked up and asked, "Robert Iger?"
"Yes. Although Robert didn't know what the handsome man meant, he replied cautiously.
"Mind if I ask where you graduated?" said Yingshuai, but it was like interviewing a recent college graduate.
Robert was even more puzzled, but replied, "Ithaca College in New York, Department of Communication." ”
Although Ithaca is not a very Ivy League school, it is known for its creativity and individuality, and it is actually not small in the film and television industry.
However, when Yingshuai heard this school, there was no trace of fluctuation on his face, and he continued to ask, "What did you do when you debuted?"
"I worked as a weather commentator at a TV station. Robert was still smiling.
He is full of pride in this position, which is not well known in the film and television industry, because this is where he started. Although Robert is humble and smiling all the time, he is actually a strong character on the outside and inside, and he has a strong confidence in his future, and he believes that he will one day reach the pinnacle of the entertainment industry in the country, so he believes that his starting point will also be a place for people to look up to in the future.
Hearing this, Yingshuai suddenly smiled and said: "Actually, I also wanted to be a weather commentator at the beginning, but unfortunately the position of Daming only recruits women." ”
Hearing this joke, Robert couldn't help but laugh too.
Ying Shuai suddenly said: "Robert, are you interested in leading Columbia to become the largest film company in the mold country?"
Robert was taken aback by the sudden news, and although his current position seemed to be only three levels away from the position of president, even if he was extremely confident, he knew that he would never have risen to that position without ten years of hard work.
Even if he jumped ship this time, the position given by the other party was only the executive vice president of the distribution department, although this position is one of the core executives of the film company, but it is still far from the position of president.
He felt his throat run dry, swallowed hard, and asked, "Boss, you mean to take Paul's place?"
Ying Shuai smiled, but said, "Of course not." ”
Robert smiled self-deprecatingly, and secretly said that he was self-inflicted, how could such an important position be handed over to him.
But I heard Yingshuai say: "It's not the president, it's the CEO!"
"What?" said Robt.
The president and the CEO seem to be not very different, and most people will confuse them, but how can a professional elite like Robert not understand the difference.
The president can also be called the general manager, which generally refers to the leadership of the company's administrative affairs, and the CEO is also the chief executive officer, who is the leader of administrative affairs and also serves as a director of the board of directors.
What does this mean?
It means that Robert can put forward his own opinions on the company's development strategy, and it means that he can really show his ambitions and control a film company to move forward according to his own ideas.
In fact, the board of directors of Colombia has been temporarily abolished, because the majority shareholder is only Yingshuai, which can be said to be his own company, so he has no problem appointing a CEO at all.
Robert is caught in a dilemma, on the one hand, the betrayal of promises, and on the other hand, the temptation to realize the value of life.
