Mr. Tung, an executive at the Xinhua branch in Hong Kong, was very dissatisfied with his immediate boss, Mr. Xu.

As soon as he got home that day, he received a phone call that surprised him.

"Hey, hello, is it Mr. Dong Tiancheng?"

"Well, I'm Dong Tiancheng, who are you? Is there something wrong with me? ”

"I am Liu Yinyin, the secretary general of Mr. Zhao Ye of Wujiang Group, do you have time? My boss wants to meet with her. ”

"There's time at any time."

"How about meeting at the Peninsula at 7 o'clock tonight?"

"Okay, no problem."

"Well, that's it. Don't bother you, Mr. Dong, see you in the evening. ”

"Goodbye."

Dong Tiancheng hung up the phone, his face full of doubts, what is Zhao Ye looking for himself? He is just a senior executive of Xinhua News Agency.

Wait, Zhao Ye recently acquired ATV and "Oriental Daily", and at this time he contacted himself again, could it be ......

He's going to start a news agency?!

Dong Tiancheng couldn't help but be surprised by his speculation.

However, if you think about it carefully, it feels reasonable, the news agency not only provides all kinds of news to the outside world, but also provides business intelligence and financial data, which will be of great help to Wujiang Group.

Dong Tiancheng knew that Zhao Ye's purpose must be to dig himself up to work for his news agency, should he go or not?

If you want to make a difference in your career, then don't go.

Dong Tiancheng has been in Hong Kong for many years, and due to the influence of Hong Kong's business environment, he does not think much about his career, but is more willing to make a difference in business.

Today, Reuters, the world's largest news agency, was privately founded and has since developed into an independent external agency, independent of any political, ethnic or religious influence. (That's just that, though.) Who believes? ）

The profitability of news agencies is also very strong, and they are also able to expand their influence for their owners.

Dong Tiancheng has been in the industry for many years and knows very well how news agencies operate.

He couldn't help but admire Zhao Ye's foresight and strategic layout very much.

If Zhao Ye controls a news agency that is comparable in scale to Reuters, the domestic ghosts will not dare to touch him.

The news agency was one of his talismans.

And "Oriental Daily" and ATV are also talismans.

Wujiang Group is already so rich, why does Zhao Ye bother to establish Oriental Media Group? Perhaps, this is the main purpose of his establishment of the Oriental Media Group.

……

At 6:30 p.m., Dong Tiancheng arrived at the Peninsula Hotel ahead of schedule.

Zhao Ye had already booked a private room, and as soon as Dong Tiancheng asked the young lady at the front desk, the young lady at the front desk called the hotel waiter to take him to the private room.

Dong Tiancheng waited in the private room for a while, and Zhao Ye and his group also arrived.

When Dong Tiancheng saw Zhao Ye walking into the private room, he immediately got up, stepped forward to greet him, and introduced himself: "Mr. Zhao, hello, I am Dong Tiancheng, vice president of the Hong Kong Xinhua News Agency Branch!" ”

"Hello, Mr. Dong, you're welcome, please take a seat." Zhao Ye stretched out his hand and shook his hand, and said with a smile.

Dong Tiancheng nodded.

Several people sat down in the private room, and Zhao Ye said straight to the point: "Presumably, Mr. Dong should be very clear about the purpose of my appointment to meet you, and I don't know if you would like to take the position of president of the "Oriental News Agency" and be fully responsible for the development of the "Oriental News Agency" in the global field!" ”

Zhao Ye's people have done a detailed investigation of Dong Tiancheng, who has served in the Xinhua News Agency for more than 20 years, has a high moral character, strong professional ability, and a wide range of connections, and is indeed the best candidate for the president of the "Oriental News Agency".

Dong Tiancheng didn't pretend, and nodded briskly: "No problem, it is my honor to be the president of the "Oriental News Agency!! ”

Zhao Ye was overjoyed when he heard this, and welcomed Dong Tiancheng's joining.

Dong Tiancheng said with a smile: "Mr. Zhao, you will be my boss in the future, please take care of me." ”

Zhao Ye smiled: "Don't worry, I won't treat my employees badly." ”

Dong Tiancheng asked: "Do you have any plans for the development of the Oriental News Agency?" ”

Zhao Ye nodded and said, "I think so, the Oriental News Agency will first base itself in Hong Kong, Southeast Asia, Japan, South Korea, Treasure Island and the mainland, and build the Asian region into the basic plate of the "Oriental News Agency", and then open branches around the world. ”

Dong Tiancheng didn't expect Zhao Ye to be so pragmatic, and couldn't help but agree: "Boss, your arrangement is the best, step by step, which is conducive to the "Oriental News Agency" to lay a solid foundation and become a leader in the news agency industry." ”

If you expand blindly, there will be problems in many aspects such as talent and management, and in the end, the news agency is only "big but not strong", and it is difficult to make a profit, so you can only rely on Zhao Ye's continuous investment. However, such a situation is bound to be difficult to sustain.

In particular, if the company is not well managed, it will breed many problems, especially the phenomenon of high-level corruption, which is not uncommon.

……

The next morning, Dong Tiancheng returned to the Xinhua News Agency and submitted his resignation report.

The leader above was surprised and asked why he resigned.

Dong Tiancheng did not hide it, saying that he would go to the "Oriental News Agency" founded by Zhao Ye to serve as the general president.

After hearing this, the leader was a little surprised, and he couldn't stop Dong Tiancheng from pursuing a better future, so he approved his resignation.

Although Dong Tiancheng is the president of the "Oriental News Agency", he is now a "bare-bones commander."

Therefore, he thought that Xinhua News Agency still had many colleagues who were unambitious, but had strong business ability, so he invited them to work at the "Oriental News Agency".

Zhou Zhi has worked diligently in the Xinhua News Agency for more than ten years, but because he is not good at pleasing the leadership, his promotion speed is much slower than that of his colleagues who entered the Xinhua News Agency at the same time.

Today, Zhou Zhi's wife didn't give him a good face, disgusted with his low income, other people's wives wore gold and silver, had money to buy cosmetics, and had color TVs, refrigerators, air conditioners, washing machines, sewing machines, etc., all of which were complete.

His own home is very simple, with only a second-hand color TV and an old sewing machine.

And the reason why I bought a sewing machine is also to help others sew clothes and supplement the family.

There are elderly people to support, and there are 6 children to support.

Zhou Zhi's family is living in great distress.

Men have no money, and they can't straighten their waists.

Every time Zhou Zhi was scolded by his wife, he could only lower his head and remain silent.

He didn't expect that it would finally be time to work.

At about 3 o'clock in the afternoon, he was at work in the unit and suddenly received a call from Dong Tiancheng.

"Zhou Zhi, hello, I'm Dong Tiancheng!"

"Oh, it turned out to be Brother Dong!" Zhou Zhi was surprised that two years ago, Dong Tiancheng was transferred to the Hong Kong Xinhua News Agency as vice president, and the two had no contact for a long time.

"By the way, Brother Dong, do you have anything to do with me?" Zhou Zhi asked.

"Well, it's true, but it's a good thing!" Dong Tiancheng said with a smile, "Are you interested in coming to Hong Kong to work, but not the Xinhua News Agency, but the Oriental News Agency." ”

Zhou Zhi was puzzled: "Oriental News Agency"? Brother Dong, I don't think I've heard of this news agency! ”

"It was just established, and the founder is Zhao Ye, the boss of Wujiang Group. Although the Oriental News Agency has only just been established, it has strong financial resources and great potential for future development. Therefore, I strongly recommend you to join the "Oriental News Agency", which is undoubtedly an opportunity for you to change your destiny! ”

When Zhou Zhi heard this, he was very excited, and he didn't hesitate to jump to Zhao Ye's company.

"Thank you Brother Dong for your recommendation, I am willing to join the "Oriental News Agency"!"

After listening to this, Dong Tiancheng said with a smile: "This is a very wise choice, on behalf of the "Oriental News Agency", I welcome you to join!" ”

After getting Zhou Zhi, Dong Tiancheng continued to contact others.

The Oriental News Agency has just been established, and the more talented people there are, the better.

……

"Lao Li, it's time to get off work."

"Lao Wang, I'm back from grocery shopping."

“……”

Zhou Zhi walked home, in a good mood, and took the initiative to greet the neighbors along the way.

When I got home, my wife was cooking.

Seeing this, Zhou Zhi couldn't help but raise his head, he was always counted down by his wife in the past, and he had no face, but now he is going to rise and be a big husband.

"Wife, I'm back!"

"What the hell, go and take out the garbage in the kitchen!"

Zhou Zhi didn't hear it, and said excitedly: "Wife, I have something important to say." ”

Without waiting for his wife to ask, Zhou Zhi continued, "I'm ready to quit my job at Xinhua News Agency!" ”

When Zhou Zhi's wife heard this, she turned her head and glared at him angrily, and scolded: "Your brain is in water, you don't want such a good job as a Xinhua News Agency reporter!" If you don't have this job, how will your family feed you? ”

Zhou Zhi straightened his chest and said: "I am going to work in Hong Kong, and my old colleague invited me to join the "Oriental News Agency", the owner of this news agency is Zhao Ye, the richest man in China! ”

Zhou Zhi looked at his wife's surprised eyes, a sense of pride spontaneously arose, and then continued: "When I join the "Oriental News Agency", I will inevitably be promoted and raised, and the salary will rise at least several times, or even more, and at that time, I will have the money to buy more household appliances for my family, and even bring you to live in Hong Kong!" ”

Zhou Zhi's wife didn't expect her husband to come and go all of a sudden, and she couldn't react.

The status of the family seems to have quietly changed.

……

A week later, thanks to Dong Tiancheng's efforts, the basic framework of the "Oriental News Agency" has been built, and the next step is to gradually improve it.

Oriental DreamWorks Company, Zhao Ye also let people register, and established a branch in Hong Kong. However, this branch is just an empty shelf for the time being.

Zhao Ye has studied Disney, which owns super IPs such as Marvel, Star Wars, Pirates of the Caribbean, Disney Princess series, and Avatar.

When fans watch Disney's movies, they don't care who the director is, and they may even not care much about the actors of this play, but care about this IP movie.

Zhao Ye likes this model.

Therefore, if Hong Kong Oriental DreamWorks wants to make movies, most of them are filming around IP.

Wujiang Group has a lot of IP, which is enough for Oriental DreamWorks to film, such as "Dragon Quest", "The Legend of Zelda", "Final Fantasy", "Street Fighter", "The King of Fighters", "Tekken", "Samurai Shodown" and so on......

There are many examples of successful adaptations of games into movies, and the most important thing is that the script is good.

As long as the story is well written, the director's level is good, and the actors' acting skills are online, then it is basically guaranteed to shoot a hit movie!

Hong Kong is a director-centric system, and the United States is a producer-centric system.

Zhao Ye is more in favor of the screenwriter-centered system, and in the entire film and television production process, the screenwriter should be the dominant position.

……

"Mr. Wei, you are the general manager of Hong Kong Oriental DreamWorks Company, and you must implement the 'screenwriter-centered system' model!"

Zhao Ye said to Wei Jiahui.

Recently, when Zhou Liang Shuyi served as ATV, she used the love card in her hand to poach Wei Jiahui of wireless.

Zhao Ye asked Wei Jiahui to serve as the general manager of Hong Kong Oriental DreamWorks Company.

Wai Ka-fai is one of the famous screenwriters in Hong Kong, in the early 80s, Wai Ka-fai entered the wireless screenwriting training class, and joined the TV screenwriting team in the same year. In just a few years, he was promoted from choreographer to creative director, and wrote many dramas such as "Senior Brother Xinzha", "Intolerable Love", "Change to the Present", "Great Era", "Racecourse Tycoon" and so on, which triggered a boom in ratings.

And he is also good at managing companies, in 1996, Wei Jiahui and Johnny To co-formed Galaxy Images, screenwriter or producer of "The Birth of a Word", "Dark Flower", "Lonely Men and Widows", "Thin Men and Women", "Zhong Wuyan", "Big Guy", "Detective", "Revenge" and other Galaxy works.

Wei Jiahui undoubtedly acts as the duty of the heart by Johnny To's side, scheduling and planning everything behind the scenes. Without Wei Jiahui to dot the rear, the "Milky Way" is destined to be incomplete.

A talent like Wei Jiahui happens to be a candidate for the position of general manager of Hong Kong Oriental DreamWorks Company.

Wei Jiahui is naturally very excited that he can get such an opportunity.

"Boss, don't worry, I will definitely do what you tell me!" Wei Jiahui nodded heavily and said.

Zhao Ye also said: "Oriental DreamWorks' films can be created by the screenwriter independently, or they can be adapted from other works, including but not limited to, comics, cartoons, games, real events, etc...... However, one of the main industries of the Borderless Group is games, so it is best to start with game adaptations, followed by adaptations of cartoons and comics. ”

Wei Jiahui knew what he meant, nodded and said, "Okay, boss, I understand what you mean!" ”

In the final analysis, movies are just to create super IP, and then make money through IP derivative licensing.

Anyone who knows about the Borderless Group probably understands.

The next day, Zhao Ye returned to the mainland.

Shanghai.

The old employees of Shanghai Fine Arts Film Studio are actually a little opposed to the company's name change, and the brand of the American Film Studio has been insisted on for so many years, why has it been changed now?

Due to the large number of people who opposed it, Zhao Ye had to carefully consider the company's name change.

The name Oriental DreamWorks is really good.

But the American Film Studio is the childhood memories of countless people, and the old people of the American Film Studio are also extremely attached to this name, which is the place they have fought for all their lives.

"Boss, why did Shanghai Fine Arts Film Studio change its name? Can you not change your name? ”

Wan Laiming, Yan Dingxian, Zhou Keqin, Chang Guangxi, Wu Yigong and other well-known directors, screenwriters, and art directors of American film studios came to Zhao Ye one after another.

Zhao Ye smiled bitterly, he didn't expect that changing his name would cause such a big response.

No, he hurried back to appease everyone.

"Okay, everyone, please rest assured, Shanghai Fine Arts Film Studio is still called by its original name! However, it is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Oriental DreamWorks. ”

Zhao Ye looked around and explained loudly to everyone, "In the future, Shanghai Fine Arts Film Studio will continue to focus on animation production and comic production, while Oriental DreamWorks will shoot live-action films......"

In the end, Zhao Ye suddenly felt as if something was missing, he thought about it, and suddenly thought that the era of computer-produced animation was coming, and if Shanghai Fine Arts Film Studio still relied on painters to paint on paper, it might be abandoned by the times.

Do you want to buy Pixar???

If we buy Pixar, we can bring the technology of computer-produced animation to Shanghai Fine Arts Film Studio......

In addition, computer effects are also very important.

The main reason why many super IPs under the Wujiang Group are difficult to make movies now is because the computer special effects are not good, and some more shocking pictures cannot be realized.

It is possible that Jobs will sell Pixar, after all, Pixar is now a money-loser, and after Jobs was kicked out of Apple, he founded another computer company, which needs a lot of money to develop......

There is a high probability that George Lucas, the owner of ILM, will not sell the company, because the current George Lucas is very ambitious, unless he adds a lot of money.

Zhao Ye shook his head and thought, why don't you start a computer special effects company by yourself, and the name is "Digital Light and Magic"!

PS: I suddenly had a birthday today, I forgot about it myself, I went out to eat, drank some wine, and the update was slow
