Chapter 992 Establishing a Film and Television Company

Since Chen Hao has decided to set up a film and television company, the establishment speed is very fast.

First of all, there is the issue of office location. Currently, I am serving a few girls in my family. I don’t need a large space. I can even work directly in the villa complex. There are many empty houses, and the rent is saved. In the future, when Haoran Group’s headquarters is built, then Just move into the industrial park.

Then there are staff, some clerks, logistics, etc. only need to recruit college students, but the company manager also needs to find someone with relevant experience and strong ability.

Chen Hao is not very familiar with the film and television industry, but he has contacts who can help. He is the president of the Chamber of Commerce, Cui Yongbing. He has been in the business world for decades and knows people from all walks of life. It should be very easy to ask him to help release news and recruit managers of film and television companies. There will be eyebrows soon.

The simplest thing is the license. Chen Hao has already registered in the functional department of Yunyang City. There will be a bunch of civil servants rushing to handle his affairs. He just sends the application materials and the procedures will be completed as soon as possible, even within a few days. You can open for business inside.

A few days later, all of this was done. The company's business license had been approved, and Chairman Cui Yongbing found a person through a headhunting company. He is a veteran movie star Mei Ling. He is 47 years old and has been in the industry for more than 20 years. When I was young, I worked as a group performer, wrote scripts, and filmed TV series, and now I am a professional film critic.

Mei Ling has come from the bottom to where he is today step by step. He has been in contact with almost all the work in the film and television industry, so he is very experienced.

Chen Hao interviewed in person, and after talking for a while, he felt that Mei Ling was indeed capable, so Chen Hao immediately made a decision and hired him as the general manager of Haoran Film and Television Company.

Of course, the choice is two-sided. Chen Hao fell in love with Mei Ling, but Mei Ling also had her own requirements.

"I demand an annual salary of 150 million!" He immediately offered a high salary price.

To be honest, this annual salary is neither high nor low in a film and television company.

The general manager of some large film and television companies must earn more than 150 million yuan, but the manager of some small companies, that is, a wage earner, will not exceed 20 yuan a year. The key depends on the strength of the company and the ability of the individual.

150 million is not easy for Chen Hao, he nodded immediately, and took the initiative to increase the price: "150 million is fine, and I can also give you an additional commission according to the company's operating conditions, provided that you meet my business requirements."

Chen Hao knew that if he wanted a horse to run fast, he had to have enough to eat, and if he wanted to perform well, he had to pay his subordinates enough.

As soon as he heard that there was still a commission, Mei Ling's energy really rose, and he agreed. Benefits and challenges coexist, and he accepted the challenge.

"Mr. Chen, what is your goal to make annually?" Mei Ling asked.

"My goal is not to make a profit, you can even lose money!" Chen Hao smiled mysteriously.

Mei Ling was stunned. He didn't understand Chen Hao's words. Don't the big bosses only do business for making money? What's the situation when they are allowed to lose money?

"The purpose of setting up a film and television company is to make good films. It is good that the film sells well, but if it is well-received but not popular, and has a reputation, I will accept it. Even if the investment cannot recoup the cost, I will recognize your ability! "Chen Hao said.

It is too common for the film and television industry to be well-received but not well-received. For example, some literary films, or documentaries that criticize current malpractices, are well received online, but because there are no traffic stars or the content is too small, the public only praises them, but they will not sit in them. Go to the cinema.

For example, the previously released animated film "The Origin of the White Snake" created many firsts in the industry, but the box office was very low. Movies are the few of the few.

"I see, you want to promote Luo Xin and other female artists under your banner, right?"

As expected of an elite in the industry, Mei Ling guessed Chen Hao's purpose based on some information on the Internet.

"Yes, within a year or two, the company will only provide services for major anchors within the Xinxin platform, mainly Luo Xin, Hua Wu, Peng Yuyan and others. But if you find a good drama, you can also invest. I believe in your ability." Chen Hao said.

"Okay, I won't let you down." Mei Ling promised.

"I don't believe in guarantees, I have to show me the actual results." Chen Hao said.

Mei Ling said: "Okay, as long as you support me with all your strength, I will use my first hit movie to prove my ability. If the box office in the future falls below 5 million, I will take the initiative to resign!"

Chen Hao was very satisfied and shook hands with him, officially establishing cooperation.

Then Mei Ling had a long talk with Chen Hao, he wanted to understand Chen Hao's thoughts.

Chen Hao said: "My idea is very simple. Let Luo Xin be the heroine in the first film. I understand her acting skills and strength, and she has great potential. However, after all, she has no acting experience before, so the script must be chosen with a certain degree of difficulty. Moderately so, and with a good director, someone who can lead her.”

Mei Ling nodded and said: "Well, yes, I will go to screen the script and the director, and there will be news within half a month to a month."

The film and television industry is not an industry with quick results. It is always right to polish the film more. Blindly pursuing speed usually reduces the quality of the film. It is normal to change a script more than a dozen times. Usually half a month has passed, so a month Time to screen scripts, not too long.

"Okay, you don't need to worry about funding. I will give you [-] million yuan in the early stage. It should be enough for ordinary movies. If it is not enough, let me talk to you."

Chen Hao is not short of money now, it can be said that it is very easy to spend hundreds of millions of sole proprietorship to make a movie to support Luo Xin.

"Great, thank you Mr. Chen for your support!"

Mei Ling stood up excitedly, and clasped hands with Chen Hao. For a manager, it is really a blessing to meet a boss who is not judgmental and willing to give money.

The company he worked for before was subject to layers of restrictions from his boss and funders, which led to failed casting, random changes to the script, and the film failed to sell when it was released. It became a bad film that was complained about all over the Internet, so he was fired, especially Mei Ling. Understand the importance of a good boss.

Chen Hao smiled. He is not an ordinary boss, and naturally he will not short-sightedly interfere with the performance of his subordinates for the sake of petty profits. He just wants results and doesn't care about spending money.

So the matter was settled like this, Chen Hao handed over the film and television company to Mei Ling, and he was going to work on another thing, which was the Temple Street business district.

Now that Temple Street in Baihe City has been preliminarily constructed, and in the final stage of decoration, it has already started to be sold. As the boss, he must of course go to inspect it. Temple Street is a major project to withdraw funds in the near future.

Because of the recent rise in housing prices in Baihe City, the profit is even greater than expected. At least 200-300 billion in funds can be withdrawn, which is a considerable amount of money.

On the other hand, returning to Baihe City and being able to be with his girlfriend every day is a double harvest of money and love.
