Chapter 373 Talents are delivered to your door
[Landlord Weir confirmed that the person in charge of Landlord is indeed Bao Zeyang]
[Exclusive photo: The mysterious little Baosheng turned out to be him]
[From today on, he is the best husband in the eyes of all the ladies in Hong Kong Island]
[A famous wealthy lady publicly expressed her willingness to date a young man]
In the office, Li Changhe was speechless as he watched the news in the newspaper become more and more distorted.
They are all fucking clickbait.
The media in Hong Kong really start with a headline and then make up the entire content without restraint.
At this moment, the phone on the table rang. It was his intercom.
"Boss, here comes a director from Planet Films named Wang Jing. He says he is your subordinate and wants to meet you."
"Let him come up"
A moment later, Wang Jing, Rosamund Kwan, Cheng Xiaodong and others walked in. Looking at Li Changhe's top-notch office, they could not help but marvel at it.
At this time, the Connaught Building can be said to be one of the top skyscrapers in Hong Kong Island.
Li Changhe's office is the top area in the building.
It can be said that Li Changhe’s office is now the ceiling of Hong Kong’s office environment, and it’s no wonder that Wang Jing and others were amazed.
The office environment in that shabby place in Mount Wutai is completely different from here.
"Boss, you are so amazing. You acquired all the land in the blink of an eye."
As soon as he entered the door, Wang Jing saw Li Changhe sitting behind a high-end desk and said in surprise.
Cheng Xiaodong, Du Qifeng and others now dare not say a word. Such a high-end office space feels too oppressive.
As for Rosamund Kwan, she looked around curiously, her eyes full of amazement.
"You're here, sit down!"
"What's the matter with you looking for me this time?"
Li Changhe came out at this time, asked them to sit on the sofa, and asked with a smile.
After hearing what Li Changhe said, Wang Jing stopped talking nonsense and said seriously: "Boss, our movie "Legend of Gambler" has been finished, and the post-production has started today. I want to ask about our release."
The movie has been completed, but where are the theaters you promised?
After listening to this, Li Changhe was slightly stunned: "It's already finished, pretty fast!"
But on second thought, this guy is a quick shooter, so it's normal that he finished the shooting in such a short time.
"As for the cinema chain, I happen to be meeting Mr. Shaw tomorrow night. I'll talk to him then and see if we can buy the cinema chain under Shaw Brothers Films."
Li Changhe said with a smile.
It just so happens that Bao Yugang has arranged a cocktail party for Zhejiang businessmen in Hong Kong tomorrow night, and will bring Li Changhe to make his official debut. At that time, we will be able to see the two helmsmen of Shaw Brothers Films.
"Ah? Shaw Brothers movies?"
After hearing this, Wang Jing opened his mouth wide and looked a little embarrassed.
"what happened?"
Li Changhe looked at him and asked in surprise.
"Um, boss, after the crew finished filming, many people stayed in our company, many of them were TVB employees."
Wang Jing said somewhat embarrassedly.
TVB now has Run Run Shaw as its general manager. Is this a disguised way of poaching employees from Shaw Brothers?
"Hmm? A lot?"
Li Changhe frowned slightly when he heard this?
If I dig too hard, I will be too embarrassed to speak up tomorrow night.
"There aren't many actually. There's only one big name, a prop master for TVB. The others are not that important."
Wang Jing thought for a moment and said in a low voice.
Among that group of people, only Qian Shaoliang had a slightly higher status. The others were just ordinary employees, with a status similar to Wang Jing's before, which was nothing big.
"That's it, that's okay."
"Be careful in the future. Don't always poach people from TVB. Even if you are gone, your father is still working at TVB. This is not good for him."
Li Changhe was a little speechless. This kid was really trying to take advantage of TVB.
"No more, no more!"
"Boss, there are already a lot of people who want to join our company. In the past few days, many people have asked about it openly or secretly."
As the news that Bao Zeyang was the boss of Planet Films spread, Planet Films also spread in the Hong Kong entertainment circle, including a lot of other information about them.
For example, a new company may offer the same salary for each position as other companies.
For example, Bao Zeyang is very generous. A small screenwriter from TVB gave him 200 million to support him in making a new movie.
Two million! This is definitely a huge sum for an unknown new director.
In addition, this company was established not long ago and has announced that it is recruiting various talents.
As a result, more and more people wanted to join Planet Films, openly or secretly.
"Boss, we have to find someone to be in charge of the company. Now Linda and I are too busy to handle it."
Wang Jing spoke cautiously again at this time.
This was also the purpose of his visit this time, to persuade Li Changhe to find a general manager for the film company.
Previously, Wells was the general manager of the film company, but Wells basically didn't care about anything. The operation of the company was managed by Linda, the head of the human resources department.
Later, Li Changhe asked Wang Jing to form a crew, and the entire company became an internal and external model. Linda was responsible for the operation of the company, while the fat boy Wang Jing was responsible for filming and preparing the crew.
However, this model is fine when the company is small, but now that the company has expanded, two people will be too busy to handle it.
Moreover, without one person to coordinate, the abilities of two people are limited after all, and they cannot take care of everything.
This is the main reason why Wang Jing came to see Li Changhe today.
"That's true. Do you have any recommendations?"
Li Changhe asked casually.
He had never cared much about the film company before, so he didn't take this matter too seriously.
"By the way, stop poaching people from TVB."
Li Changhe was afraid that Wang Jing would recommend someone from TVB again, so he reminded Wang Jing immediately.
"No, no, we are not poaching anyone from TVB. There is someone I think is very suitable, but her employment requires the boss's approval."
"Who?" Li Changhe asked curiously.
"Her name is Shi Nansheng. She is now a senior executive at Rediffusion Television. She also worked at Jiayi Television before. She is very capable and we have all heard of her reputation."
Wang Jing said seriously at this time.
Cheng Xiaodong at the side also nodded: "Yes, I heard of her name when I was filming "Heavenly Silkworm" for ATV before. She is very capable at work."
"She is a very capable person, but she is always in love. When she joined our company, she asked us to sign a director named Tsui Hark, who was her boyfriend."
Wang Jing continued at this time.
Li Changhe was a little surprised when he heard this.
Nansun Shi and Tsui Hark, are they a couple?
"So, it is this Nansun Shi who is going to join, and bring Tsui Hark with him?"
Li Changhe asked curiously at this time.
"Boss, I asked around, and it's actually the other way around. It's Xu Ke who wants to join us."
"He just starred in a movie called 'No Door to Hell' in April, which was a flop and received a lot of criticism."
"He is now working for Siyuan Pictures, a small company. The boss, Wu Siyuan, used to be an employee of Shaw Brothers. Later, he went out to set up a film company. He was the producer of Jackie Chan's Snake in the Eagle's Shadow and Drunken Master."
"But he didn't have much money, so he made low-budget movies that were shown in Shaw Brothers and Golden Harvest cinemas. Tsui Hark made thrillers when he was there."
"This year's 'No Gate to Hell' was a box office failure, and Wu Siyuan can't afford to invest in him in the short term."
"It just so happened that our reputation spread and Tsui Hark wanted to join our company. After all, we have money."
"But his own movie had just flopped, and he was afraid we wouldn't accept it, so he dragged his girlfriend along."
"Nansun Shi called us because of Tsui Hark."
"In fact, if we sign Tsui Hark, I think it's OK. He has good film directing skills. It's just that his previous scripts were too bad. We have a good script, so let him try."
"It's mainly because of Shi Nansheng, who is very capable. If she joins us, the company will run very smoothly. I think this woman is very powerful."
Wang Jing told Li Changhe seriously that he had also heard of Shi Nansheng's name in Mount Wutai.
"Is that so? Then go talk to them and invite them to join Planet Films."
Li Changhe nodded. Shi Nansheng seemed to be very capable. Li Changhe had heard of her name and only knew that she and Tsui Hark were a couple, but he was not very clear about the details.
The only gossip that I know is that she was with Tsui Hark for many years and lived a DINK life all her life. In the end, when he got old, Tsui Hark divorced her and found a younger girl and had a son with her.
Wow, this is really her nemesis!
"Ah? I'll go talk?"
Wang Jing was a little surprised. Such a big thing, and he was asked to discuss it?
"Well, you have performed well recently. When you return and are promoted to the company's deputy general manager, go talk to them both."
"Also, let me tell you about the operating model of our film company!"
"In the future, our film company will not tie creators down. Whether they are directors or actors, as long as they perform well, we will support them."
“Whether you want to start your own personal film company or personal studio, we support you.”
"And their film companies or studios can use our resources, whether it's shooting or releasing, including our cinema chains."
“So overall, we can move in the direction of a platform.”
"We don't have overbearing clauses like Shaw Brothers, nor do we have single-handed decisions like Chow Wen-huai in Golden Harvest."
"From now on, you will be responsible for organizing a script writing team and working together to produce high-quality scripts."
"As for film production, we can either do it ourselves or accept production from other companies."
"Don't forget, we will have our own cinema chain in the future, so this kind of satellite company will also be a source of high-quality films for us. Do you understand?"
Li Changhe said to Wang Jing with a smile.
It's not something that requires him to step in for such a small matter at the film company, and Wang Jing is doing well now, even attracting Nanshen Shi and Tsui Hark, so he can also train this little fat guy and give him a promotion.
What's more, the company model he mentioned is actually a copy of the model of Cinema City in the 1980s.
Li Changhe remembered that New One City was the company led by the so-called Seven Monsters at that time, and they defeated Shaw Brothers and Golden Harvest.
To be honest, if Cinema City hadn't had internal strife over uneven distribution of spoils, it might have achieved even greater glory.
Of course, the most important thing is that this model is suitable for people like Li Changhe who are hands-off and make collective decisions to produce high-quality ideas.
Besides, it is a general trend for outstanding directors and actors to set up their own companies and studios. Li Changhe can't stop them, nor is he too lazy to stop them. After all, movies are not his main business. There is nothing wrong with sharing some money with directors and actors.
This will also solve the problem of uneven distribution of spoils. It will be easy for directors to make money in the future. They can just set up their own company to invest in films and share the box office profits themselves.
Whether you can make money depends on your ability!
"Boss, do we want this?"
Wang Jing was a little surprised. Cheng Xiaodong and Du Qifeng, who were standing by, were also shocked after hearing it.
The main thing is Li Changhe's model. It sounds like he has too much independence. Planet Films basically does not create any difficulties for directors and supports their independence.
In the past in Hong Kong Island, only Bruce Lee had such rights, right?
I heard that Golden Harvest is also going to give Jackie Chan similar treatment now, but this is a treatment only available to top actors in Hong Kong Island.
Will everyone have Planet Movies in the future?
"You too, as long as you do well, I will support you if you want to set up your own company in the future."
"What we need to do is to attract more talents to join us and expand the entire film industry, rather than just being a company."
"Otherwise, movies only make a few bucks a year, what appeal does that have to me?"
Li Changhe's words seemed arrogant, but everyone present felt that they were very reasonable.
After all, who is Li Changhe? He is now the controller of the country's first land and a super-rich man with a net worth of tens of billions.
It is normal for such an existence to have such business thinking and vision.
It can even be said that only such a great man can make such a decision.
Otherwise, as Li Changhe said, with the size of the country, Planet Films has only a few dollars, and it is not sure whether its annual earnings can even afford to buy a floor below the country.
"Understood, Boss. I'll go back and talk to them."
Wang Jing said excitedly and solemnly at this time.
He could imagine that, from now on, anyone who wanted to join Planet Films would probably have to break through the company's door.
My decision to cling to someone powerful back then turned out to be the right one. I’m going to be rich!
Thank you for the reward from Xiahxi, Luyi Anle and Ganliangtuan. I bow and thank you.
