Chapter Seventy-Seven: Capital Kidnapping
When he woke up in the morning, Han Xinyu had already gone to the crew.
Li Xianyun was rare and quiet, and looked at photography knowledge for a while.
As I was looking, there was a knock on the door outside.
Li Xianyun opened the door and saw a smartly dressed woman wearing a standard white-collar professional uniform, looking like she was about thirty standing at the door, &bsp&bsp holding a folder "Boss Li?" My name is Su Haili, and I was commissioned by Miss Han Xinyu. ”
"It's so fast." Li Xianyun muttered.
After all, he didn't resist Han Xinyu, and Li Xianyun agreed to accept an assistant.
Of course, it is impossible for her to pay the salary, so it will really become her eyeliner.
Li Xianyun leaned sideways to let her in.
Su Haili entered the room and handed the document to Li Xianyun, "This is my resume." ”
Li Xianyun beckoned her to sit down, and slowly turned over, "You were with Lao Mo before?" ”
"His executive broker." Su Haili replied.
Li Xianyun knows that the &bsp&bsp executive broker is the deputy of the big broker, and &bsp&bsp itself has management functions.
Li Xianyun said: "That is, there is management experience." ”
"I was in charge of a third-tier artist before."
"Isn't it a bit wronged to give up that third-line to me?" Li Xianyun couldn't help but ask.
Su Haili smiled, "If you slept in this room yesterday, you should have heard her talk to me on the phone for two hours, giving me a lot of promises." ”
Yes.
Of course, Li Xianyun knows this.
Su Haili was originally unwilling, but Han Xinyu repeatedly assured her that she dug Su Haili over.
Li Xianyun said: "She exaggerated my abilities. ”
"So I checked your profile last night." Su Haili made it clear that she was not moved by Han Xinyu.
Li Xianyun smiled: "Then tell me what you're good at." ”
Su Haili snorted, "Agency is essentially to provide services for artists, so my external relationships are okay, and I am responsible for Mr. Mo's studio affairs." ”
Mo Rui is the head of a studio in charge of artist management under Huayou, and Dou Lingling was originally the head of another studio, but her status is not as high as Mo Rui, and now she is about to be emptied, so don't mention it.
As for Su Haili, she is equivalent to Mo Rui's deputy, but she does not belong to the entourage, but sits in the rear, and she may do more than Mo Rui in terms of management.
In fact, the ability of many deputies is not necessarily weaker than that of the boss, and the main ability of the boss is to control core resources.
For example, who can sign a contract with Han Xinyu, Li Xiaoxiao and other artists now, &bsp&bsp Then no matter whether this person has the ability or not, he is the boss!
Li Xianyun thought for a while and asked, "What do you think of Yisheng Media?" ”
Su Haili smiled, "I haven't joined Yisheng Media yet, so I can't say anything about it for the time being." ”
Lao Jianghu will not say at the beginning that I have any thoughts about your company, and it is necessary to be cautious.
But Li Xianyun is different.
He said, "Not knowing doesn't mean not having ideas, sometimes you can't see, but you can see more accurately." ”
Su Haili was puzzled: "I don't understand. ”
Li Xianyun said lightly, "You and Xinyu know each other, and you are also from Huayou, so it is impossible that you don't know anything about Yisheng Media." For you, those understandings may be superficial, so you can't jump to conclusions. But in my opinion, what you want is your ignorance...... Outsiders can sometimes see it better than insiders. ”
Outsiders can see less things, but often see the whole outline, the whole!
Because they don't know what's going on inside, their opinions may be out of touch with reality, but they won't be affected by the so-called details, and sometimes it's easier to get to the core.
For example, if you tell a boss that you should be honest and think long-term in business, your current approach is not appropriate.
Your boss might just tell you that you don't know my situation, and sometimes I can't think that long.
All kinds of internal intricacies tend to influence your judgment and give yourself reasons to abandon the right thing to do – because the right thing often comes at a great cost upfront!
On the contrary, outsiders can be left unaffected - so sometimes the more you see, the more you can't find the heart of the problem, or the things that are bothering you.
Hearing Li Xianyun's words at this moment, Su Haili thought for a while and said, "Chairman Ren of Huawei once fired him directly because an employee gave him a suggestion. ”
Li Xianyun replied, "Everyone has their own way of working and ideas, he has his ideas, I don't want to evaluate right and wrong, as for me, I have my style." Now I want to hear what you, an outsider, think. ”
Li Xianyun also figured it out, prestige and humility are incompatible, but they can be eclectic - when I don't want to listen to opinions, you shut up for me. When I want to hear opinions, you can be honest.
Li Xianyun has several positions, and his black and white faces cannot be distinguished, so he simply has a split personality.
As for the grasp of this scale...... I want to go on my own!
"Then I'll be bold and outspoken." Su Haili smiled.
Li Xianyun made a gesture of your casualness.
Su Haili said: "First of all, I think there is a problem with your company structure. ”
Li Xianyun raised his eyebrows: "Oh? ”
"Yisheng Media was originally a post-production company, but now it has transformed into a film and television production company, while still retaining the post-production business. Film and television production companies themselves are a highly professional and highly subdivided industry, and when put together with post-production, it will lead to no separation of rights and responsibilities. It's okay for a small company, it's all one person with multiple abilities, but it's not okay to be big. Yisheng Media is developing, and your existing system will inevitably slow down your pace. ”
Hearing this, Li Xianyun smiled.
She was right.
During this time, Li Xianyun has been having a headache with the internal management of Yisheng Media.
Whether it is the system, personnel structure, or business composition and other aspects of the problem, the problem is not big now because Li Xianyun personally ended, the enterprise is developing well, and many problems have not broken out for the time being.
But the so-called good is just that the films made can be sold for money - it is Li Xianyun's films that can be sold for money, not how much money his team can make!
His team has earned millions of dollars in nine films, and the other income is related to the team?
The company's profits are supported by the work of the boss, and this is the core problem.
No way.
The core resource of traditional businessmen is capital first, and you can only be the boss if you have money. The second is networking, and only when you have a relationship can you have business opportunities. The third is management ability, not that this is not important, but this part can also be done by finding other talents.
How else would there be a difference between a chairman and an EO?
But Li Xianyun's core resource is a ghost, and his core resource can only be used by him at will, and it cannot be given to others or made public. Therefore, no matter how big you are, you must be in a front-line position, which will inevitably lead to lagging behind the development of the enterprise in terms of the system - he does not rely on the system to maintain the company, but on personal will and ability.
This makes Yisheng Media Enterprise on the one hand is developing rapidly, the efficiency is amazing, on the other hand, the management system is backward, all rely on the boss to pull hard.
However, management lag is not a big problem, the key is whether you can find and correct it in time.
At this moment, Li Xianyun nodded: "I still neglect my responsibilities as a leader during this time. ”
He didn't ignore it, but at this time...... It's better to be humble, otherwise people really won't dare to speak.
"You don't have to do everything yourself." Su Haili said.
Li Xianyun shook his head, "But don't look at it, don't worry." ”
Su Haili was surprised: "You don't trust your employees? ”
"I'm coming from the lower echelons, and I've seen a lot of the dirty side of this circle, and I'm sure you've seen it too. I mean...... Whether it's competence or loyalty. ”
Su Haili understood.
She smiled slightly, "How can there be a circle that is not dirty?" The boss has to have the mentality of the boss, and you can't take care of everything by yourself because of this. A good system is the solution to the problem. ”
"Is there a system like that?"
Su Haili smiled: "No." ”
There is no perfect system in the world, only a decent system.
Li Xianyun snorted: "I will consider solving this problem later." Anything else? ”
Su Haili saw that Li Xianyun was indeed very serious about her views, and she was more confident. She said, "You don't seem to like outside investment and cooperation? ”
"Well, there are some reasons why I'm more resistant to that."
"But I think for companies to grow, they have to cooperate more, including accepting investment."
"I have my reasons."
"Isn't the reason why you want to listen to me, an outsider, because I don't know your suffering, and I can ignore your suffering?" Su Haili asked with a smile.
Gotcha, it was poked back.
Li Xianyun narrowed his eyes and thought very seriously.
After a while, he said, "One of the basic principles of Yisheng Media is absolute control. This control is not limited to the company, but also to the project. For external capital, it is not unacceptable, but it must be chosen carefully. ”
Su Haili asked, "Are you afraid of being kidnapped by capital?" ”
Hearing this, Li Xianyun smiled, "This is your opinion?" ”
Su Haili was stunned, she heard what Li Xianyun meant, and she was full of disdain for the word capital kidnapping.
Sure enough, Li Xianyun said, "People in the film and television industry shout about capital kidnapping, which is really ironic." ”
Don't look at the film and television industry as big players in the pit capital, they are often very arrogant, and they shout that capital kidnaps us at every turn.
So is there a kidnapping in capital?
Of course!
The most typical is that the investor names a certain actor to star, and even names what type of film to make, including the decisive battle in Sky City, including Li Cheng's film, can be counted in this way.
In this respect, the will of the capital side affects the producer, and indeed kidnaps the will of the producer, making it difficult to produce good works.
But is there anything wrong with that?
Investors' money, investors can't call the shots?
You think of capital kidnapping, so why does the film and television industry still pull investment everywhere, begging to be kidnapped by capital? Do you think that capital is not good, you can not cooperate!
To put it bluntly, isn't it still for money?
If the film loses, the investors lose money, and the film and television company makes money from resources.
The film makes money, the investors make money, and the film and television company makes resource money plus box office revenue.
They don't lose horizontally.
While filling his purse with the investor's money, he still thinks that the investor has his own ideas, saying that the investor's capital is kidnapped, isn't this?
Co-authored all the benefits of the world for you to take advantage of, and good people let you do it?
In fact, this is not just a matter of the film and television industry, but all circles, as long as you need to invest, it will be so.
Including those Internet companies, they all rely on investors, and people only see success, but not bankruptcy.
As soon as it is successful, it is shouted that investors are vampires who rely on the founders to make money, but no one will consider that only one out of ten capital investments may be possible, and the remaining nine will be lost.
Is that capital a good person?
Not necessarily.
They also have their own ideas, and some of the capital is not used with their own money.
Like film and television companies, they set up a fund and pull the money of retail investors to do business, but they also lose money from lower-level investors, and they make their own profits.
Are grassroots investors innocent? Not necessarily? Isn't it just to make money?
It's not a sin to make money, but to make money...... Hehe, have such a beautiful dream, if you don't lose money, who loses money?
Therefore, no one is nobler than the other.
Only who has more initiative than whom.
The capital market is like a big casino in this field, there is no innocent, only the king and the loser!
On the issue of initiative, of course, the trader has more advantages.
What the capital can do can only be the general direction, and the specific operations are implemented by the producer, and there are a lot of hands and feet that can be done.
Therefore, in terms of heart, the investor and the investee can be said to be half a catty.
However, in terms of actual initiative, the investor is the father before investing the money, and the invested party becomes the father after getting the money.
Because of this, Li Xianyun scoffed at the fact that the film and television industry shouts capital kidnapping at every turn.
In his opinion, there is only one kind of person who can despise capital, and that is the person who does not pull investment.
But the reality is so ironic, Li Xianyun, who is not an investor, does not agree with the statement of capital kidnapping! On the contrary, a group of pit convictions are shouting about capital kidnapping every day, and capital is paying and betraying the blame.
It's so evil.
And the essential reason for this is that Li Xianyun invests in his own production, he himself is the capitalist, and the first position is naturally the capital rather than the producer.
Su Haili heard what Li Xianyun meant: "So you oppose the entry of capital, but you don't despise them?" ”
"To be exact, I despise all people, all circles." Li Xianyun replied, "All of them despise it, which means that they don't despise it all." ”
Su Haili "......"
After thinking about it, she said, "I think I know who you are." ”
