Chapter 364 Future Tense

Chapter 364 Future Tense

In the next few days, Nanyi was busy working on the script of "Home Alone", while Rachel completed the debt transfer work, and transferred 690 million US dollars of debt, 390 million of which were transferred to the name of 20th Century Fox. The remaining 300 million will remain under the name of Red Sofa.

And transferred the copyrights of "Star Wars" and "Alien" from 20th Century Fox to Red Sofa, and then sold them to Gunners for a package price of 10,000 US dollars.

None of the three companies are listed companies, and they don't have to tell any stockholders what price they sell for, and they sell as much as they like.

Moreover, the relationship between the three companies can be understood by a discerning person with a little analysis. The IRS will not cause trouble if the transaction is left-handed and right-handed, and an extra transaction tax is paid.

After completing these tasks and obtaining the identity of a shareholder representative for Nanyi, Rachel returned to New York. After all, her main job was still with Pan Am Holdings.

With the status of shareholder representative, Nanyi can temporarily control 20th Century Fox.

Soon, he established the preparatory team of "Home Alone", and the producer decided to go to Harvey Weinstein, which is also a celebrity, but notorious.

Even Nan Yi, who doesn't care much about the entertainment industry, has heard his name. He doesn't care what shit happens to Harvey Weinstein in the future.

After reading Harvey Weinstein's information and chatting with him, Nanyi knew very well that this guy is a talent, but he is a very ambitious talent, and he will jump out and do it alone in a short time.

"Harvey, the project of "Home Alone" is very important. It is the first shot fired by the shareholders of 20th Century Fox. If we don't get things done well, you should be able to imagine the consequences."

Before the meeting started, Nanyi still hit Harvey Weinstein first.

Harvey Weinstein responded: "Adam, I know what's at stake, and I'll do my best."

"That's the best." Nanyi nodded in satisfaction, and asked again: "What's your opinion on the choice of director?"

"Barry Levinson, Amy Heckling, Howard Zieff, those three are the right candidates."

"Barry Levinson is the director of Good Morning, Howard Zieff is the director of Private Soldier, and Amy Heckerling is the director of The Open House."

As soon as Harvey Weinstein announced his name, their masterpieces immediately popped up in Nanyi's mind.

Before the meeting, Nanyi had already memorized the list of directors and basic information of the comedy films he had filmed. He did not allow himself to act like an idiot during the meeting.

"Amy Heckerling, I don't think it's suitable, she is a woman, her style is too tender and delicate, if it is for winning awards, she is suitable, but what we need to focus on is the box office.

We need the audience to laugh from the beginning to the end. Most of our box office comes from young people. The film does not need to be deep, funny, so that the children think Kevin is cool, and take into account the sense of substitution of the parents, reminding them of their own family. Naughty kids will do. "

"Adam, what you said makes sense, then Amy Heckling is really not suitable." Harvey Weinstein said in agreement.

Nanyi complained in his stomach, "Damn, you are from Huaguo, and you still play this trick of adding an obvious mistake for yourself to point out. No wonder the relationship between this grandson and the Huaguo director circle is handled so well."

"The most important thing for us now is to decide on the director and casting director. This project is relatively urgent. I hope the casting can be completed within three months, and the filming will start before the beginning of May."

"But the background of this movie is Christmas. Are we going to shoot at the Arctic Circle?"

"The Arctic Circle is not necessary. In summer, the Arctic Circle happens to be extremely daylight. "Home Alone" has many night scenes, and the set is too troublesome. You can choose a cold area like Alaska.

Of course, the main consideration in choosing a shooting location is the shooting cost. If other countries have subsidies and tax rebate policies, then go to other countries to shoot. "

"There doesn't seem to be any country that has such a policy at the moment."

"Don't be arbitrary, first choose a suitable shooting location, then send an email to the local city hall, and you will find out after asking. Of course, you need a suitable rhetoric, such as promoting local tourism, Harvey, this will Let's see how you package our project.

Let me talk about the shooting location first, and then I will talk about a few actors who I think are suitable. After the casting director decides, I can invite them to come and try.

The actor Kevin, I think both Leonardo and River Phoenix are quite suitable, you can invite them to try;

Harry in the two thieves can invite Mel Brooks, Bill Murray, Robin Williams, Joe Pesci to audition;

Another stupid thief, Marvin, can find Tom Hanks and Jim Carrey. "

"Who is Leonardo? I've never heard of that name," Harvey Weinstein asked.

"There is an educational film called "Game House". He plays a role in it. You can find out and see. I just think these candidates are suitable, and I have no specific meaning. Everything depends on the results of the audition.

As for the other roles, I don't have any good candidates, so I will leave it to Harvey, you, the director, and the casting director to find suitable candidates;

Especially the role of Kevin's mother, Harvey, I don't mind if you use it as a favor, as long as it doesn't cause trouble. "

Nanyi's subtext is: "I don't care if you are unspoken rules or not, as long as you don't cause me any trouble."

The role of Kevin's mother is not rare, but it is not very important to the film. There are many people in Hollywood who are qualified for this role, and whoever is used will not have any impact on the quality of the film.

"Ha, Adam, I understand." Harvey Weinstein smiled knowingly.

"OK, call me when the director and casting director are settled." Nanyi put away the folder at hand and walked out of the conference room.

There is also a lot of work in the early stage of preparing a film project. In addition, Nan Yi is an amateur, and some knowledge has to be learned, which is even more tiring.

But he can't do it if he doesn't participate. He just doesn't participate in the first project and adopts the method of herding sheep.

Nanyi must follow up with this project, and let these old fritters know that the representatives of the "new boss" are not easy to fool.

Back at No. 5103 Beverly Hills, Nan Yi went straight to the glass room.

"How do you look at the data?"

Nan Ruobing pointed at the documents in her hand, "Dad, I have only read three documents, and I don't know what many proper nouns mean, and I can't check whether various expenses are reasonable. I don't even know what is normal. It is reasonable to spend as much as possible.”

"It's okay, take your time and learn slowly. As a manager, you must understand the business process of the enterprise you manage, and you must also know the reasonable range of various expenditures, so that you will not be fooled by others.

You can pretend that you can't see some things that can be manipulated, but you must be aware of them.

No one is perfect, and many people have the idea of ​​being greedy for small things and cheap things. For example, it is inevitable for people on business trips to over-report their expenses.

The cost of auditing and verifying some accounts is too high, so we can only turn a blind eye and close our eyes, and set a warning line. Below the warning line, it is regarded as ignorance. If it exceeds the warning line, the importance of the person who made the mistake to the enterprise must be considered. Sex is treated differently. "

"Dad, if you are a salesman who can bring a lot of business to the company, but he also has obvious mistakes, such as taking kickbacks in private, or overpaying the kickbacks to the business personnel and hiding it himself, how should we deal with this person?" ?”

"This question is a bit complicated. Let's call this salesman Xiao Ming first. First, you need to analyze the proportion of the business brought back by Xiao Ming to the company's revenue.

If the business brought back by Xiao Ming can determine the life and death of the company, then quickly discuss the shares with him, let him become one of the owners of the company, and share the company's profits with you;

If, after cutting off the business that Xiao Ming brought back, the company can still operate normally, but the profit may not be so impressive, it depends on how big Xiao Ming's appetite is.

If Xiao Ming's appetite is so big that you can't bear it, then continue to use it, and at the same time secretly collect evidence of his kickbacks, and when the evidence is sufficient, go straight to the death, so that he has no foothold in the industry.

Don't negotiate a solution, unless you also have the handle to be held in his hands.

Of course, if you can tolerate it, then beat him so that he doesn't go too far. Evidence still needs to be collected. You have to hold his handle, but you don't have to use it, and you have to get along with him.

A capable person like Xiao Ming will set up a new family sooner or later to keep a good relationship, not to mention helping each other in the future, at least he will sell you a face.

What I said above is based on the premise that your personal ability is greater than the company's platform. If your personal ability is smaller than the role of the company's platform, then you have to consider role models and scale.

If other people follow suit and Xiaoming No. 2 and No. 3 appear, how much harm will this cause to the company?

Will it cause the company's rules and regulations to exist in name only?

Will it lead to the collapse of the company's platform?

These are all factors that you need to consider and weigh. As the saying goes, no one is perfect. If you are a perfect person, it is impossible to bow down to others.

Everyone has advantages and disadvantages, to explore his advantages for you to use, to tolerate his shortcomings that do not exceed your bottom line, this is the way to employ people. "

"Dad, I don't quite understand."

"It's okay, just remember what I said first, now that you are with me, if you have a chance to see a real case, you can learn and think while watching."

"Well."

Nan Yi patted Nan Ruofing's head, sat next to her, and read the information.

These materials were copied and summarized by the third-party audit that Rachel hired when 20th Century Fox was acquired. By reading these materials, many problems can be found and knowledge about the operation of film and television companies can be learned.
