Chapter 34 Management Issues (1)
According to Li Xianyun's plan, he will not make too many films this year, but will focus on company management and improve the company's structure and system construction as much as possible so that the company itself can grow sufficiently.
The boss’s job is easier to make than a writer and director – as long as you have money, you can be a boss. There is no difference between a boss with a hundred thousand yuan and a boss with a one billion yuan.
But to do it well, it is undoubtedly the most complicated task in the world.
It really has no rules!
Writers, directors, photographers, and at least they all have technical requirements, but the boss does not.
And the less technical indicators, the harder it is!
There are a lot of awesome bosses in the world. When you ask, you will learn all kinds of business experiences successfully. If you really learn it, you will find that there is no use for you.
Some even die the more they learn.
The most interesting thing is that there will be different or even opposite ideas between successful bosses and successful bosses!
Then both types of people succeeded.
How do you play this?
To put it bluntly, it is necessary to adapt to the times, places and people.
For example, what does the chairman do?
This is an interesting question in itself.
The essence of the chairman represents ownership!
That is, whose company belongs to it, this is a question of attributes.
The CEO is the one who manages the company.
Therefore, the chairman is usually responsible for singing out of the way, pointing the direction, creating dreams for employees, and giving money to everyone, only asking the results but not the process; while the CEO is sing out of the way, controlling the team, realizing the dreams for the boss, allowing everyone to make money, and controlling the process to complete the results.
The two are essentially contradictory and are generally not suitable for the same person to be responsible.
But Yisheng Media is different.
Yisheng Media is a joint-stock company. Generally, joint-stock companies are separated by ownership and management rights, but Li Xianyun and others are different. They are wearing the skin of a joint-stock company, but they are in the reality of a partnership company. Li Xianyun has been the chairman of a film and television company for a year, and actually does the job of CEO, producer and director.
And these four positions represent different ideas.
When you are a chairman, you are responsible for two things. One is to find money and you can only develop a company with money. The other is to make strategic planning, that is, what the company mainly engages in and what its main style is, including subsequent strategic transformation, etc. Things like bank loans, mortgages on land, and investment in ghost towns are decided by the chairman and the board of directors.
When he is a CEO, he is responsible for specific operations, optimization of corporate management systems, major project cooperation between enterprises, etc., such as cooperating with Huayou to shoot the Doomsday Flower. This is a major project cooperation, and the CEO is responsible for it.
When we get to the head of the production department, we will make a few movies this year, what movies we do, and how to operate them. The work of those nine movies is to set the tone of the CEO, I want nine movies, what kind of movies I want. Then the head of the production department will determine the specific plan and allocate resources based on the boss's needs.
Further down, we are choosing producers, directors, screenwriters, and responsible for the specific implementation.
Li Xianyun holds four positions, from a big boss to an executive to a middle-level manager to a senior worker, and if all screenwriters are included, they will be a low-level worker.
It is okay to do this when a company is young. When it becomes bigger, it must shake hands, and it must shake things from low to high.
So Li Xianyun will definitely not do the screenwriter's job now, and then she will dump the director - I feel so heartbroken, this is the two things I am best at.
Then there is the production department, and he is still in charge of the operation arrangements of the nine films.
After doing this, I returned to the CEO position and began to think about strategic planning and corporate system. As for the chairman's responsibilities - forget it, the chairman's main responsibility is external cooperation, funding needs and strategic planning. However, Yisheng Media currently has very little cooperation with external parties. The main body relies on itself and enough funds. Strategic planning focuses on ghost special effects, so there is no other need for the time being.
Since you want to enter the CEO's mindset, you must consider specific operations and institutional management.
In terms of systems, Yisheng Media is still using the original system, basically the conventional things.
There are only a few meanings of the existence of the system.
1. Establish cooperation methods and relationships for owners of a company. 2. Provide a process for solving problems. 3. Avoid unnecessary problems.
All institutional construction should have meaning, that is, the rules you set for the company must be based on some consideration, rather than setting rules for the sake of setting rules!
So on this basis, if Li Xianyun wants to build a company system, he must take into account the current situation - what problems we often encounter recently? How should we solve the problem using institutional methods?
When one problem after another is solved, a sound system that is suitable for your company will naturally take shape.
So there is actually no need to do this overnight, but it is a matter of building a bridge when encountering water.
The rest is specific business.
This thing is also very complicated, including employment, establishment of departments and other things.
Now the ghost city is still under construction, and there is Yisheng agent. Yisheng Media itself is divided into film and television production and post-production, so it is also a mess.
Li Xianyun must 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 existing problems of Yisheng Media.
Zhao Yunyang said directly: "Yisheng Media's daily business has always been in a downturn. The people in the business department have already worked very hard, but before doing film and television, most of the staff were transferred, which made us still insufficient. In addition, except for those nine, the production department has not clarified the follow-up plan, and everyone doesn't know what to do next."
Daily business is the foundation for film and television companies to maintain, but Yisheng Media is indeed not doing well in this regard.
This is the cause of CEO Li Xianyun.
The production department is now a little confused. Nine films have been launched, and Chaoying is still in the script stage and will not enter the preparation stage for the time being. So what are you doing during this period? Everyone is confused.
This is the cause of Li Xianyun, the director of the production department.
Zhao Yunyang continued: "In addition, special effects are also problems. Yisheng Media's special effects are now a reputation, and many film and television companies want to cooperate with us. The business department can bring business at any time, but the problem is that they have never seen the special effects department before, and there is no unified price for the price. The ghost town is responsible for the special effects business, but the problem is that the ghost town does not understand the special effects business at all, especially our holographic special effects only solve some special effects problems, and some of the business needs to be handed back to the later department, but the specific business is the ghost town responsible for contacting, and they do not know how to operate it. We still have to do the work, but they talk about the business. The coordination between the two sides is also a big problem. Fortunately, the ghost town is not open yet, but the business team has discovered this problem. When there is another problem in the official operation, there will be a lot of trouble."
Very good, there are problems with company coordination. This can be either the CEO’s pot or the chairman’s pot, but in the final analysis it is Li Xianyun’s pot.
Li Xianyun found that there were too many things to do, and the biggest disadvantage was that it was yours.
You have nowhere to throw it if you want to.
Big head!
Others' chairman always waved his sleeves and scolded: How did this work be done? How did the company manage it?
Why did I get to my place and I became a lesson from my subordinates: How was this job arranged? Will the company develop in the future?
Chapter completed!
