Chapter 34 Management Issues (I)
According to Li Xianyun's plan, he will not make too many films this year, but will devote himself to the management of the company, improve the company's structure and system construction as much as possible, so that the company itself can have enough growth.
The job of a boss is even easier to get into than a writer and director - as long as you have money, you can be a boss, and there is no difference between a boss of 100,000 yuan and a boss of 100 million.
But to do it well, it is undoubtedly the most complex job in the world.
It's not a rule!
Writers, directors, photographers, all have technical requirements, but bosses don't.
And the more technical indicators there are, the harder it is to do it!
There are a bunch of big bosses in the world, and when you ask about it, all kinds of businesses have been successfully learned, and if you really learn it, you will find that it is useless.
Some of them are dying the more they learn.
The most interesting thing is that between a successful boss and a successful boss, there will also be different, even opposite, ideas!
And then both types of people are successful.
How are you going to do this?
To put it bluntly, it is still necessary to adapt measures to the time, place and people.
For example, what exactly does the chairman do?
That's an interesting question in itself.
The essence of the chairman is ownership!
That is, whose company owns, this is a question of attributes.
EO is the management company.
Therefore, the chairman is generally responsible for singing white faces, pointing out directions, creating dreams for employees, and sending money to everyone, only asking about the results and not about the process; And EO is to sing blackface, control the team, realize the dream for the boss, let everyone make money, and control the process to complete the result.
The two are inherently contradictory in nature and are generally not suitable for the same person to be responsible.
But Yisheng Media is different.
Yisheng Media is a limited liability company, and the general limited liability company is the separation of ownership and management rights, but Li Xianyun is different, wearing the skin of a joint-stock company, but it is a partnership company, Li Xianyun has been the chairman of the film and television company for a year, and he is actually the boss and director of the EO production department.
And these four positions represent different ideas.
When you are the chairman, you are responsible for two main things. As soon as you look for money, you can only develop the company if you have money. Second, do strategic planning, that is, what is the company's main business, what is the main style, including the follow-up strategic transformation and so on. Things like bank loans, mortgages on land, and investing in ghost towns are only decided by the chairman and the board of directors.
When EO, he is responsible for specific operations, optimization of enterprise management system, major project cooperation between enterprises, etc., such as cooperating with Huayou to shoot Doomsday Crazy Flowers, which belongs to major project cooperation, and EO is responsible.
On the side of the person in charge of the production department, it is how many films we will make this year, what specific movies we will make, and how to operate them. The work of those nine films is to EO to set the tone, I want nine, what kind of do I want. Then the person in charge of the production department determines the specific plan and allocates resources according to the needs of the boss.
Further down is the selection of producers, directors, screenwriters, and responsible for specific implementation.
Li Xianyun has four positions, from big boss to senior management to middle-level management to senior workers, if you count the screenwriters, it is a low-level worker.
It's okay to do this when the enterprise is small, but when it grows bigger, you have to shake it off, and it must be thrown from the bottom to the top.
So the job of screenwriting, Li Xianyun will definitely stop doing it now, and then he will dump the director - it's heartache, damn, these are the two things I am best at.
Then there is the production department, and now he is still in charge, after all, he is responsible for the operation and arrangement of the nine films.
As for the responsibilities of the chairman - forget it, the main responsibility of the chairman is external cooperation, capital needs and strategic planning, but Yisheng Media currently has very little cooperation with the outside, the main body relies on itself, and the funds are enough, and the strategic planning is the main ghost effect, so there is no other demand for the time being.
Since we want to enter the EO thinking, it is inevitable to consider the specific operation and system management.
In terms of system, Yisheng Media is still using the original system, which is basically the conventional things.
There are only a few meanings for the existence of the system.
First, establish cooperation methods and relationships for all owners of a business. Second, provide a process for solving problems. Third, avoid unnecessary problems.
All system construction should be meaningful, that is to say, the rules you set for the company must be out of some considerations, not for the sake of making rules!
So on this basis, if Li Xianyun wants to build the company's system, he must take into account the existing situation - what problems have we often encountered recently? How can we solve the problem in an institutional way?
When a problem is solved, a sound system that applies to your enterprise will naturally take shape.
So in fact, this thing does not need to be done overnight, but it is a matter of building a bridge in the water.
The rest is a matter of operation.
This thing is also very complicated, including a series of things such as employing people, setting up departments, and so on.
Now the ghost town is still under construction, and there are Yisheng agents, and Yisheng Media itself is also divided into film and television production and post-production, so it is also a mess.
Li Xianyun had to sort it out one by one.
Today, Li Xianyun sat in the office and looked at Zhao Yunyang with a headache.
Zhao Yunyang came to talk to him about the current problems of Yisheng Media.
Zhao Yunyang said directly, "Yisheng Media's daily business has always been sluggish, and the people in the business department have worked very hard, but before doing film and television, most of the manpower was transferred, so that we have always been short of manpower." In addition, in addition to the nine films, the follow-up plan of the production department has not been sorted out, and everyone now does not know what to do next. ”
Daily business is the foundation of the maintenance of film and television companies, but now Yisheng Media is really not doing well in this regard.
This is EO Li Xianyun's pot.
And the production department is also a little clueless now, nine films have been approved, Chaoying is still in the script stage, and will not enter the preparatory stage for the time being, so what are you doing in the middle of this time? Everyone is at a loss.
This is the pot of Li Xianyun, the director of the production department.
Zhao Yunyang continued, "In addition, the special effects are also a problem. Yisheng Media's special effects now have a reputation, and many film and television companies want to cooperate with us. The business department can bring in business at any time, but the problem is that they haven't even seen anyone from the special effects department, and there is no unified pricing for the price. The ghost town is responsible for the special effects business, but the problem is that the people in the ghost town don't understand the special effects at all, especially our holographic special effects only solve part of the special effects problem, and some of the business has to be handed back to the post-production department, but the specific business is the ghost town is responsible for contacting, and they don't know how to operate, the work still has to be done by us, but the business is talked about by them, and the coordination between the two sides is also a big problem. Now the lucky thing is that the ghost town is not open yet, but the business team has discovered this problem, and when it is officially operational, there will be a lot of troubles. ”
Very good, there are also problems with the company's coordination, this can be both EO's pot and the chairman's pot, but in the final analysis, it is Li Xianyun's pot.
Li Xianyun found that there were many things to manage, and the biggest disadvantage was that whatever pot was yours.
There's nowhere to shake it if you want to.
Big head!
The chairman of other people's houses is waving his sleeves and scolding, how do you do this job? How is the company managed?
How did I get here, it became a lesson from my subordinates, how was this work arranged? Does the company want to develop later?
Li Xianyun nodded helplessly, and said weakly, "You let me think about it." ”
