The reorganization of Phantom is inevitable. There are already quite a few regular employees in the company, but there is no overall plan and they don't even know which department they belong to. This is really fatal. It is undeniable that this is the same thing that Xiao Ran committed in the early stage.
The biggest mistake was that he failed to correctly estimate the potential and development of his company, or even how many people he could hire.
However, Xiao Ran himself has never been in management before and is just an ordinary person. Of course he does not know what the company should do. Such mistakes are inevitable. Fortunately, Wei Dongling quickly raised the issue and no loss was caused. This allowed Xiao Ran to get
A lesson, a very important lesson.
"I have already written the reorganization plan!" Wei Dongling looked at Xiao Ran with a serious expression. If Xiao Ran was unwilling to accept the reorganization plan, then he would definitely resign, because that would prove that the company has no future: "I am waiting for your decision now!"
After receiving Wei Dongling's plan, Xiao Ran slowly began to browse it. Strictly speaking, Xiao Ran didn't understand the details mentioned in the plan, but he still knew what the company's structure should be.
Wei Dongling must have consulted an expert. The reorganization plan was very detailed, which opened Xiao Ran's eyes. First of all, Xiao Ran didn't care about administrative management. Wei Dongling was basically the number one person in the company, so he was naturally qualified to make decisions.
.
In fact, relatively speaking, other departments are not very important, nor are they the most worthy of attention. Xiao Ran is concerned about the other departments, including the planning department, production department, distribution department, finance department and artist training department.
The planning department is mainly responsible for the early preparations of the film, such as what ideas are needed to make the film and the script. The production department is responsible for the actual shooting and has the largest number of people. The final artist training department is mainly for cultivating new talents.
, and the broker’s department.
A structure like this is like a regular film company. Of course, this structure diagram is no different from the restructuring structure that Xiao Ran envisioned one year later. However, from the current point of view, this advance action is definitely very important.
In this plan, Wei Dongling even listed suitable department head candidates for Xiao Ran to choose. However, Xiao Ran is now considering whether the company is too small and may not be able to accommodate so many people.
Of course, he soon came to the answer. At present, except for the production and distribution department, other departments do not need much manpower at all, and the space is enough. Thinking of this, he has decided to let Wei Dongling take care of the company.
He who can do it should work harder. Besides, he doesn't want his company to go bankrupt because of his stupidity and lack of knowledge.
"Tomorrow Fang Ruohai will transfer a sum of money, and use this money to buy the best equipment from an American company." Even a fool like Xiao Ran knew that ten million was far from enough to buy a complete set of equipment, so he quickly added: "The money is definitely not enough.
So, we’d better buy photography and recording equipment first, as well as film and so on!”
Photographic equipment and film are for visual enjoyment, while recording equipment is for auditory enjoyment. Xiao Ran couldn't imagine that he could defeat Jiahe in one fell swoop, but he believed that as long as he could get this batch of equipment, he could improve the image quality and sound effects.
It was a draw with Jiahe.
Wei Dongling chuckled, asked the female secretary to bring some information, and handed it to Xiao Ran: "Look, you don't need to go to the United States to buy these equipment. There are companies in Hong Kong doing agency business. Although the price is a little higher, I think it's always
It’s worth it than running to America!”
Xiao Ran stared at Wei Dongling in a daze. He didn't expect that Wei Dongling was fully aware and prepared. He also knew that if he bought it from the United States, he would definitely not be able to get it in the short term. Therefore, he was already ready to ask for it.
Jiahe is preparing to rent equipment. However, it seems that this is not necessary now.
Don't think that just because the budget for Phantom Company's three new films has been released, they have already started filming. Xiao Ran is now waiting for Fa Ge. "God of Gamblers" requires Fa Ge to gain weight. But the prequel of "A Better Tomorrow" requires Fa Ge to maintain his current figure.
Therefore, Xiao Ran had to wait for a while. Fortunately, the on-site shooting of this prequel has been completed, and now Fa Ge is working hard to gain weight.
The reorganization of Phantom went smoothly under the control of Wei Dongling, and the company held its first high-level meeting three days later. The funny thing is that although Wei Dongling's office is relatively larger, it still seems very crowded if several department heads are packed into it.
Of course, everyone didn't say anything in Ming Li, but they didn't know how many times they muttered in their hearts that the company was too stingy.
Xiao Ran successfully got out of the production department (now renamed the production department) this time, but unfortunately the company still needs an art director. The so-called art director is a quite detached position, and it is related to the production department, and is qualified
Mobilize all personnel in the production department to direct and establish the style of the film.
This difficult position is not easy. The artistic director needs a heavyweight who can control the scene. Xu Ke, for example, is very suitable. Unfortunately, Xu Ke obviously has no reason to come to work with Xiao Ran. And Xiao Ran knows that he knows the future very well.
The style of some directors, so the most suitable person for this position is undoubtedly him.
In short, Xiao Ran was overwhelmed by the company's affairs, and with the script writing, he even had no time to pursue Fang Ruoxin. It was not until the third day after the company's reorganization was completed that Xiao Ran relaxed.
After giving the script of "A Chinese Ghost Story" to Xu Ke, within two days, Xu Ke promised to come and direct the film. By this time, Yu Jiayu had already gathered the crew together and performed a worship ceremony.
After that, the filming of "God of Gamblers" officially started.
The film has a strong cast both in front of and behind the scenes, with the leading actors including Chow Yun-fat, Liu Hua, Fang Ruoxin, and Zhang Min. As for the villain in the film, Simon Yam plays the role. The famous killer Long Wu was originally played by Yong Sheng boss.
Strong acting, now Xiao Ran will never refuse to make a cameo.
Xiao Ran originally planned to have all the company's contracted artists make guest appearances in the film, but thinking that Liu Qingyun and Zhou Xingchi still had a chance to win the Best Newcomer, he had to give up this extremely tempting idea.
The year 1987 finally came. Xiao Ran welcomed this day very happily, but also very depressed. Of course, he deliberately went home once the day before. And today was New Year's Day, and Xiao Ran didn't know where to go.
Fortunately, Lin Qingxia called him and asked him to go to dinner, which relieved Xiao Ran from loneliness. When he came to a restaurant that he often visited, Xiao Ran just sat down and looked at Lin Qingxia, who was showing more and more charm today, and suddenly couldn't help but rub her
He rubbed his nose.
After ordering food and chatting while eating, Xiao Ran quickly mentioned the company's affairs: "Sister Lin, you don't know, I'm so tired recently that I'm about to collapse! Maybe one day I'll have to go
See a psychiatrist!"
Naturally, Lin Qingxia didn't know that Xiao Ran was exaggerating. Wei Dongling was handling the company's management matters, so he, Xiao Ran, was tired. But Lin Qingxia still cared and said softly: "Aran, if you feel tired, don't stop.
I’ve done it. Actually, I think you’re pretty good at being a screenwriter, so you don’t need to work so hard anymore!”
"Men, their career is the most important thing!" Xiao Ran shook his finger disapprovingly. In fact, he may not be selfish. According to him, if you want to pursue Fang Ruoxin, career success is undoubtedly a kind of capital: "Yes
Well, Sister Lin, there aren’t any films in the company that are suitable for you recently, maybe you need to take a break!”
"It just so happens that I just want to take a break!" Lin Qingxia smiled, and this move was exactly what she wanted: "However, I think the Phantom Company is doing a decent job, but I didn't expect that this little brother like you is doing so well.
Well!"
"Well done, well done! To be honest, Sister Lin, what kind of roles and movies do you want to play? Maybe I can tailor a script just for you." Xiao Ran shook his head for a while, and finally managed to get out the rest.
If asked: "For example, something more artistic? Or something more commercial?"
"It's the same. I've acted in so many artistic films in Taiwan, and I'm all tired." Lin Qingxia sighed softly.
Xiao Ran thought of Fa Ge. Fa Ge would win the Best Actor Award again with "A Better Tomorrow" and "Autumn Fairy Tale". He hoped to establish a myth for Hong Kong films and actors, a real myth. He wanted Fa Ge to win the Best Actor Award three times in a row.
It is the truly indestructible myth.
However, this is obviously not easy. Fa Ge's peak year was 1987, when three films were shortlisted for Best Actor. Now that history has changed, Xiao Ran must do everything for Fa Ge's third title as emperor.
Prepare.
Similarly, Lin Qingxia's acting skills are not bad, but she has never been awarded the queen. This has always been something Xiao Ran has deeply regretted. Fortunately, he now controls a film company, and it is obviously not very difficult for Lin Qingxia to win the queen.
thing, especially when Lin Qingxia is not very picky about roles.
"However, I don't understand why you want to sign the screenwriter and also the photographer?" Lin Qingxia doesn't know much about business. In fact, even an expert may not understand Xiao Ran's meaning: "At this rate,
The company’s expenses will be huge!”
Xiao Ran smiled slightly, with a hint of general demeanor: "It doesn't matter, movies are an art that emphasizes creativity. Without them, there would be no better movies. Only high-quality movies can become popular with the audience! So,
In film creation, they are the main ones."
Lin Qingxia shook her head, she understood what Xiao Ran meant, but she didn't think this would be of any benefit to Phantom Company: "After a while, the nomination list for the Academy Awards will come out, maybe you can win the award this time!
"
Winning an award? This is Xiao Ran's inner hatred. Although he hopes to win this award, he doesn't want to win it when he successfully plagiarizes others. After chatting for a while, he suddenly saw a very familiar middle-aged man standing next to him.
Accompanied by two subordinates, he came over. The middle-aged man sat next to Xiao Ran with a smile: "Boss Xiao, I have found you this time!"
Looking at this familiar face, Xiao Ran suddenly remembered that this was Wang Yu, a very famous star in the Shaw Brothers era. He glanced at Lin Qingxia, but saw her shaking her head gently. Xiao Ran thought she didn't know Wang Yu.
When Yu felt strange, Wang Yu introduced himself with a smile: "My name is Wang Yu. I also run a film company now. We are all in the same industry!"
Glancing at the two tall guys behind him, Xiao Ran frowned slightly. This Wang Yu really liked to show off and actually let his bodyguards follow him around. Of course, on the surface, he didn't show any displeasure at having his dinner interrupted:
"I have heard of Mr. Wang's name for a long time. I wonder what's wrong with you?"
