Chapter 1409 1511. Life and Roles

Entertainment companies are like sieves. Basically, they can't hide any news. Boss Wang just finished talking with Director Feng yesterday, and before dawn the next day, there was news on the Internet that Director Feng was going to remake one of his classic works.

Boss Wang dared to pat his chest to guarantee that he really didn't let this rumor leak out.

The news was slightly different from the actual situation. The two talked about making a sequel, not a remake, but the difference in impact was not big. Just as he thought, many netizens expressed their great expectations when they heard the news.

The result made Boss Wang very satisfied, but he still got angry.

He had to get angry. What he talked about in the office could be spread on the Internet that night. Boss Wang was really scared when he saw the news. There can't be any secrets in his own company and his own office. Is this reasonable?

The secretary on duty that day was the first unlucky one. Even if she cried and said that she definitely didn't spread it, Boss Wang didn't believe her at all.

The first line of defense outside the office is the secretariat where she works. Apart from the issue of leaks, she is definitely not immune from the issue.

Even if it wasn't the secretary who leaked the information, it was definitely her negligence.

And the final result of the investigation was indeed so. That night, Boss Wang and Director Feng were drinking Jasmine and eating melon seeds and peanuts inside, chatting, and the secretary also made an appointment with two friends from the public relations department to drink milk tea, eat snacks and talk about fashion.

It was during this time that several of her friends accidentally heard a little news. One of them, perhaps in a mentality of showing off, posted the news on her social account, and then tagged several big Vs.

The news was leaked so simply, and there was no undercover sent by other companies, which made Boss Wang relieved.

Needless to say, the secretary was directly transferred back, from an accompanying secretary to a daily secretary. Although the salary and rank did not change, the actual status had changed drastically.

As for the female employee who leaked the information, the annual bonus was cancelled.

Afterwards, I heard that the two women had a quarrel in the underground parking lot of the company. The scene was quite tragic. At least after the rumor, both women took a week of sick leave.

After this incident, Boss Wang wanted to standardize the management, but he knew that even if he standardized it, it would probably only take about half a month.

This kind of thing is really impossible to manage, because the entertainment industry itself is a big sieve. Entertainment companies are embarrassed to greet their peers if they don’t leak some news every day.

Nie Wei, who was filming in Shudu, also got the news, and felt that Boss Wang made a good move.

"The previous Ning Hao's movie with a production cost of 400 million yuan actually had a lot of "gambling" elements. I heard that there were also science fiction elements. I don’t think Boss Wang was sure about it. But Director Feng’s classic sequel is basically guaranteed to make money. Director Feng’s screenwriter and directing skills are there. As long as he is careful, this sequel will not be bad, and the reputation will not be bad, and the box office will definitely be guaranteed."

"Then which one do you think he will shoot?" Luo Yuan asked curiously.

"How can I guess that? Director Feng is a capable person. He has made so many classic New Year's films. It's no problem to pick any one at random. Of course, considering the changes of the times, I personally think that "Cell Phone" is worth filming. Of course, "Personal Tailor" and "If You Are the One" are also possible." Nie Wei analyzed.

He really couldn't guess what sequel Director Feng would make. After all, Director Feng has not been a freeloader in these years. Although some of his works have been lame, there are more classic works, especially in the 1990s and the early 21st century. Director Feng is really the overlord of domestic New Year's films.

"Okay, don't waste time on this nonsense. There is still half an hour. Let's get down to business." Nie Wei looked at his watch and urged directly.

Luo Yuan flew to Shudu today to find Nie Wei, naturally to talk about important things.

"This is the list of mergers and acquisitions I made. Take a look." Luo Yuan took out a folder from her bag and handed it to Nie Wei, saying, "I asked someone to estimate that the value of these companies is basically only tens of millions. If all the companies on my list are acquired, a budget of 500 million will be enough."

"By then, our film and television department will have at least ten more outstanding young directors, and the company's production capacity will be greatly improved."

Nie Wei nodded, without making any suggestions, but carefully read the reports of the companies on the list.

The entertainment industry is very deep. Most famous directors are in big companies, but there are also pearls outside. These talents are hidden in some small companies, but if you want to dig them, you may not be able to dig them. At this time, the means needed is mergers and acquisitions.

Since people can't be dug, just dig the company together. Luo Yuan's idea is very simple and direct.

The data in the report was very detailed, including the operating conditions of these companies. Of course, the most important thing was the resumes of these directors. I don't know where Luo Yuan got to know so many talented but unknown directors, but just looking at the resumes, Nie Wei felt that there were indeed a few good-looking talents among them.

Nie Wei took out a pen from his shirt pocket, then selected a few talents and companies that he thought were good from these reports, drew a circle, and handed it back to Luo Yuan.

"I think these companies and talents are good. Of course, you have to respond to the specific actions yourself. In addition, mergers and acquisitions are ultimately emergency measures. If you want the company to develop healthily, you must establish a mature youth training system. We must cultivate our own talents."

"You should pay attention to this aspect."

"I have established contact with Beijing Electric. In two days, I will send people to observe the directing department and photography department of Beijing Electric. Beijing Electric also promised to try to avoid other brokerage companies from contacting these students." Luo Yuan replied.

Nie Wei shook his head after hearing this: "Not only Beijing Electric, but also Huaxi, Mingzhu Theater, Media College, Sichuan Electric, and Hangzhou Electric. Students from these colleges are our targets. Don't just focus on Beijing Electric because we have a good relationship with Beijing Electric and ignore other colleges."

"As for good relationships, they are also built up little by little. When you are exploring talents, you can also build relationships with colleges together. The two are not contradictory, but also promote each other. As for public relations expenses, there is no need to save. You should invest when you should, and don't be too petty."

Luo Yuan nodded seriously and wrote down all the key points that Nie Wei said with a pen.

"I still use a notebook. In fact, it is more convenient to use a mobile phone." Nie Wei glanced at it and said with a smile.

Luo Yuan closed the notebook and smiled and replied: "It's been ten years. I'm used to it."

Her memory is not very good, so when she first switched to management, she brought a notebook and recorded what she learned on it. She would flip through it when she had nothing to do to remind herself where there were problems and where it was worth learning.

"That's right." Nie Wei smiled.

"Boss Nie, if you don't have any objections, I'll start implementing this plan when I get back." Luo Yuan asked, holding the document.

She was a little impatient to implement this plan.

This time she jumped from Huayi to Fanxing. Although her position seemed to have not changed, her power was actually greatly increased.

Although this department belongs to Fanxing Entertainment, its actual structure is not much affected by the head office. Like the variety show department, it has the right to produce its own films. In addition, Nie Wei handed over the management of the newly established agency to Luo Yuan. For a while, she really felt that she was in power.

She felt that she had such great power that if she didn't do something, she would be sorry for Nie Wei's cultivation.

So recently, Luo Yuan was full of energy and wanted to make some achievements to show Nie Wei, and of course to show Liu Jing, the woman. It would be best if she could admit defeat and take the initiative to give up her position...

Nie Wei approved of Luo Yuan's recent series of vigorous actions.

On the one hand, the film and television department is newly established, so it should have this momentum, so that everyone has a feeling of bright prospects. If it makes everyone feel depressed, it is not right.

Of course, if Luo Yuan did this in the variety show department, Nie Wei would definitely stand up and stop it.

Because the variety show department already has its own mature operation system, which is the result of more than ten years of practice. Luo Yuan's drastic action plan will not only fail to bring any new changes to the variety show department, but it is also likely to overturn.

After all, there are too many precedents.

Take a certain chili sauce as an example. After the prince came to power, he was ambitious to surpass his mother. The first action was to change the chili. What was the result? The reputation plummeted.

There is also a princess of a beverage company. After accepting the company, she directly replaced the spokesperson for 20 years. In an interview, she even disliked the spokesperson for being too old, and the reputation of the product plummeted.

These second-generations are eager to prove themselves, but there are too many overturns.

Nie Wei now has to be the one who pulls the cart and pull Luo Yuan at the right time.

Luo Yuan just asked this question as a routine question, but Nie Wei thought about it and asked seriously: "Your list is full of mainland companies. Why don't you think about the talents in Hong Kong and Formosa?"

"Especially Formosa, there are really many film and television talents there. The key is that place is simply a film desert. Many talents want to develop in the mainland. I think you can pay more attention to it."

Luo Yuan quickly took out her notebook and wrote it down.

Without Nie Wei's reminder, she really didn't think of the talents there. The main reason is that she worked in Huayi before and was in contact with people in the mainland entertainment industry, which caused her to have limitations when she had some ideas. This is a habit problem.

But after Nie Wei's reminder, she immediately came up with a new idea.

"Mr. Nie, I may have to trouble you again in two days." Luo Yuan felt that she had to pay attention to Hong Kong and Formosa, and prepared to make another plan for Nie Wei to see.

But Nie Wei waved his hand, indicating that she didn't need to ask him for instructions.

"Mergers and acquisitions are your plan, you can make the decision, but remember not to use too drastic means." Nie Wei reminded.

"I know that." Luo Yuan smiled. She was not the kind of person who had no bottom line for the sake of profit.

Luo Yuan came and went in a hurry. Now her schedule was calculated by the minute. Sometimes Luo Kai felt that he didn't know his daughter very well. She was completely like a female devil in the workplace.

After Luo Yuan left, Nie Wei read the script for a while, and then got up and went to the set.

As a director, he needed to do a lot of preparation work, such as how the actors were in good condition? The adjustment of the camera position on the scene, as well as the problem of lighting, all of these had to be controlled by Nie Wei himself.

Sichuan Airlines really cooperated with the filming this time, and the venue provided Nie Wei with great convenience. When Nie Wei arrived, several actresses were eating and chatting with the real flight attendants.

This was Nie Wei's request.

The reason is very simple, that is, to put the role into life, and when it comes to acting, the real people can naturally get into the play smoothly.

For example, two weeks before the start of filming, in the first week, Nie Wei broke them up and integrated them into several crews, requiring these actresses to really experience this profession, let them fly around with the plane every day, and sit on the plane to provide the services that flight attendants should do.

In the second week, it was inconvenient to actually move, so Nie Wei just gathered them together and continued to do this job.

Before that, they received a month of emergency training, including emergency handling, behavioral norms, etc.

When the role is substituted into daily life and becomes a habit, these actresses can naturally get into the play easily during filming, just like now, the filming has been very smooth for a few days, and in two more days, the scenes on Sichuan Airlines will be finished.

At that time, they can go directly back to Kyoto, which is the core filming location.

Nie Wei checked around and found no obvious mistakes. After all, these people have been working with Nie Wei for many years, and many of them are "old hands" who have worked with him for more than ten years. They have a tacit understanding with each other, and everyone knows what Nie Wei's habits are.

After checking the crew, Nie Wei went to the actors to check. Cheng Kun and other male actors were a little idle because they didn't have many roles. On the other hand, Yuan Quan was leading the female actors to walk in a line with their suitcases.

"Hold your chest, raise your head, tighten your abdomen, and smile..."

A professional flight attendant was giving instructions. Nie Wei smiled and nodded, but didn't go forward to disturb him.

Nie Wei returned to his resting place and called an assistant to show him the next shooting schedule.

The shooting schedule is not inconvenient. There are many guest actors in this movie. The schedules of these guest actors are uncertain. Generally speaking, the crew will be more accommodating. After all, asking people to help out is a favor, not an obligation.

Nie Wei glanced at the schedule and found an interesting name.

"Miss Yang will come this afternoon, right?" Nie Wei asked, pointing at the schedule.
