Island Tycoon

Chapter 514

"Let them in." Ye Jingcheng said, pushing his hands away.

If Hong Jinbao and Huang Baiming were allowed to come, it was to guide the two to have their own development directions, so as to bring high-quality film sources to the theaters.

Now that he met Zhou Xingchi and Lu Liangwei, he was purely thinking about the company's interests.

It is true that Ye Jingcheng has 50% of the shares in 'Chengbao' and 'Dongfang Movies'. As long as Hong Jinbao and Huang Baiming make money, he will just sit and share the money with each other.

Just talking about benefits, even if he holds half of the shares in the company of the two, it is definitely not as good as Qing Deng, who is completely in his hands.

The real reason Ye Jingcheng called them here was to guide them to help him make money or secondarily, mainly to share part of the production pressure for the company.Otherwise, you can put the money in your own bag, and there is no reason to give it to others.

Nowadays, the number of productions produced by Qingdeng Entertainment is still relatively low, and almost only one self-produced film is released every two months.The main reason is that after Ye Jingcheng let go of the company's affairs, there was no suitable candidate for the job.
Although Qingdeng Entertainment has a dedicated screenwriting department, there are also directors such as Zheng Xishi, Lin Lindong, Gao Zhisen, Liu Weiqiang, Li Lichi and so on.

But apart from Zheng Fangshi who still has some weight, the others are all new directors.Not to mention letting them take up the banner of the company, whether they can gain a firm foothold in the director industry is already the most important issue they need to consider at present.

In fact, it is not easy to say that it is easy to carry this banner, but it is not too difficult to say that it is difficult.What it needs is something that most people don't have, or don't have a comprehensive understanding of, that is—vision.

To take over Ye Jingcheng's work with this vision, the first step is to screen high-quality film sources for Nanguo Cinemas, and arrange the film's release date and resource allocation reasonably.

The second is to be responsible for the company's production investment, including solicited contributions, works produced by the screenwriting department, and scripts obtained from other channels.

The person in charge must analyze these works in depth, such as which script is good and which script is not good, whether it is worth investing in filming, and how much follow-up risk is, all of which need to be evaluated step by step by the person in charge.

In addition to professional knowledge and extraordinary ability, the most important thing about this job is vision.

Leaving aside, let's just say that Wang Jing and his old bean, who helped Ye Jingcheng get rich in the beginning, and Wang Tianlin, who has been a director for decades, absolutely possess the first two points and are far superior to ordinary people.

But if you asked him to be in charge of the film investment of a film company, could he be competent?I dare not say that it is absolutely impossible, because there is no absolute in everything.But precisely because he has been a director for decades, sometimes his eyes stay in the past.

In particular, Wang Tianlin is still working for Shao Yifu. After being exposed to old-school martial arts films for so long, who knows if he will have a 'soft spot' for these Cantonese fragments?
With the continuous modernization of movies in the past two years, apart from the trend-setting Blue Lantern Entertainment, Golden Princess and Golden Harvest followed closely behind, including Shaw Brothers, which has also undergone a certain transformation, and the market share of Cantonese fragments is destined to become smaller and smaller.

If Ye Jingcheng really invited Wang Tianlin back, then it would not be a matter of investment, but whether the other party would directly throw his money into the sea of ​​salt water.

It's not that there are no candidates, it seems that Li Yingjiu and Zheng Shishi are actually suitable for this job.Their only shortcoming is that they stick to the rules. From a certain point of view, considering employees with this personality, at least they are a group of people who follow the rules.

But from an investment point of view, it will appear not bold enough, giving people a kind of excessive caution.

There are two other candidates, one is Chen Baixiang and the other is Huang Baiming.

Chen Baixiang has many advantages. First of all, he is a businessman himself, so he naturally has a certain vision.Secondly, he also has an in-depth understanding of the film industry, and professional knowledge is not a problem.Ability may be a bit worse than professionals, but it can be remedied in other ways.

The only reason why Chen Baixiang didn't get the job was that he was too adventurous compared to Zheng Fangshi or Li Yingjiu.

Let’s just say that he went bankrupt several times, mainly because he was too easygoing. If he can develop a business stably, the problem can actually be avoided.It's a pity that he only wanted to make quick money, which led to the risk of being caught in it.

To sum it up, Chen Baixiang is a person who does not want to walk the right path, but he is a person who can stand up after falling down.

Faced with this situation, is it possible for Ye Jingcheng to let Chen Baixiang manage the company freely, or let Chen Baixiang bankrupt the company several times, and then lead the company back to the audience?
The last one was Huang Baiming. Ye Jingcheng was the most confident in his ability among all the candidates.He belongs to the kind of person who is like playing Tai Chi, slow if you want to be slow, fast if you want to be fast, and can do everything.

But Huang Baiming is also the most ambitious one, so it's not that Ye Jingcheng doesn't consider his problem, but Huang Baiming himself has no intention of sending him under the fence.

Otherwise, it is just a form of work, he might as well not join the film industry in the first place.You must know that before he stepped into the film industry, he was a department manager of a foreign company.

If you really want to do it now, even if you can't be the president of the branch, you should at least be the second in command of the branch. You still have an annual salary of 80 million a year, so why take the risk of stepping into an unfamiliar field.

Ye Jingcheng pressed his temples on both sides, thinking about whether there are any suitable people for this job among the other major film companies.

Knock! Knock! Knock!
For a moment, Ye Jingcheng's thoughts were interrupted by a knock on the door.

Unlike before, former visitors can wait at the office door.Now that the security system has been improved, these people can only enter and exit near the elevator entrance, where there will be a special secretary in charge of registration, and then the secretary will convey the information to Li Zhi.

"Ye Sheng!"

"Ye Sheng!"

Zhou Xingchi and Lu Liangwei walked in, showing a bit of restraint and anxiety at the same time.They were looking forward to seeing Ye Jingcheng very much in their hearts. It was like a small employee of a listed company who was suddenly called into the office by the chairman.

It can be said that their future is completely in the hands of the other party, even if Ye Jingcheng cares about their thoughts a little, it is enough to become their capital for the next position.

After the greeting, Zhou Xingchi originally thought about going up to get warm.However, after thinking about it seriously, they stopped. Today is different from the past. One of the two parties' status is continuously rising, while the other has been beaten back to become a small person.

Not to mention whether Ye Jingcheng thought this way, the difference in identities between the two of them would also make Zhou Xingchi feel that he must be humble, and his previous enthusiasm could only be buried in his heart.
