Legendary Hollywood Director

"Let the finance department make a budget, and first make sure that the funds are working."

The daily operation of the company plus the withholding of funds for at least two years to develop film and television projects, as well as the specific amount of offline revenue and box office sharing must definitely require a plan.

After all, it makes no sense to just deploy new businesses on the original system, instead of stagnating in other areas for the sake of new businesses.

This is also to avoid talking too much, and finally making a mess, but delaying the pace of progress.

Joseph nodded and exited the office.

Only by determining the financial strength can we know how much funds the company can have to develop animation without affecting film and television production too much.

Today, the company has a lot of deposits.

But how to spend it to become a part of strength and heritage, in addition to limited talents, it is also necessary to clearly understand how to spend money where it should be spent.

Otherwise, even the task at hand will not be completed, and what is the long-term layout.

......

"Have you decided?"

"Ok."

"...It's okay to take a break for a while. When you want to come back, you can let me know."

In an office in the Fox Building, Bill McNichol said in a complicated tone.

When Christopher McLedandrey left and the figure disappeared behind the door, he leaned heavily on the back of the chair, not knowing what to think in his mind.

The departure of a backbone will of course have an impact on the development of the original business.

But what can be done?

Retained, discussed in detail, but still did not look back.

When personal expectations are inconsistent with the company's expectations, it is the best way to get together.

Why did McLeodandre think of leaving? Because of dissatisfaction.

Why not go well, the blue sky is out of control.

In other words, with the big sale of the "Ice Age" series, it is common sense for Chris Wedge (founder of Blue Sky Animation), who has accumulated countless achievements and qualifications, to ask for more status and voice.

Give it, the animation department is divided into two relatively separate groups, no one controls all of them, it is inappropriate; if you don't give it, it will chill the aggressiveness of the subordinates...

If merit is not rewarded or there is no matching company status, such personnel promotion is definitely unreasonable.

But the difficulty lies in the fact that before Lantian did not achieve results, McLeodandrei had already become the general manager of the department...

Of course, there is still a solution to this matter, and that is to transfer McLeadan to a more core management position... But there are also difficulties. One radish is one pit. Now there are not enough pits, and the grades are enough. not on...

Therefore, although it is a pity that McLeodandre's resignation is a pity, it is more acceptable to the company.

There are a lot of capable people, but there are always more capable ones, and Chris Wedge is good too.

......

Christopher McLeodandrei returned home, enjoying the peace that he had never had before, but for someone with a strong career like him, the inner emptiness like "doing nothing" is far worse than physical comfort. Heart.

But what can be done?

Continuing to stay will only make him more uncomfortable.

He just lay on the sofa halfway, making occasional calls to chat with colleagues and friends. Because of his wealth, his life would not be insecure.

......

Perlman first went to the headhunter to exchange information with people, and then was taken to McLeodandre's house in Burbank.

Because she had been notified in advance that she was coming to visit, after ringing the doorbell, a woman in her 40s and 50s opened the door.

This is his wife.

Then, Perlman saw the target person sitting and reading the newspaper. He looked very ordinary, but he was in a high position all the year round, and he had a power of his own.

Hearing the movement, McRedandry asked in a puzzled way, "I don't know why the two of you are looking for me specifically?"

Perlman didn't answer.

A middle-aged white man sent by the headhunting company showed a gentle smile and took the initiative to chat.

If they can reach a cooperation, they have a rich commission of their own, and of course they are very attentive. After all, that's what they do.

In terms of familiarity and chatting skills, Perlman is definitely not as good as them who have been digging corners all the year round.

However, McRedandry looked directly at Perlman, "Who is this?"

"Sir, just call me Rodriguez." Perlman said straight to the point: "I am currently the president of Firefly Pictures' Marketing Operations Department. Now our company intends to develop animation business and sincerely hire managers. Mr. is famous, so I came here. this."

After saying this, Perlman suddenly felt a little insecure.

"Haha," McLeodandry chuckled, took the newspaper and said inexplicably, "The box office of '300' has already exceeded 200 million, and it has been very rewarding."

Perlman didn't know what to say, but nodded affirmatively.

Yesterday, the global box office of "300" has accumulated to 186.2 million US dollars, plus overseas screenings are prosperous, making 20 to 30 million a day is not a problem.

In fact, the market potential in North America still has a certain amount of box office space. After entering the next week, although it will inevitably decline, it is still within the range of normal feedback.

"Your company doesn't seem to have any animation trend. I mean, I don't see Firefly's courage to enter the animation field."

Although McLeodandrei has never been in charge of a live-action film, he still knows something about Firefly.

As he said, in the past few years, Firefly has never intended to reach out to the animation field, and there is no internal reserve at all.

Looking for it now, it is said that it is to develop, and it is difficult for him to believe that Firefly will really give greater support.

In the animation industry, as long as you invest money in it, it is difficult to see the output in a short time.

Maybe, this is just a decision made by the mind slapped on the buttocks, and then banned again after calm down.

Perlman could see McRedandry's concerns from these remarks, but he couldn't say why.

After all, it was a decision related to the highest level, whether his guarantee could be fulfilled or not, and he did not dare or could not decide the conditions for Lehmann.

Furthermore, if he said it, someone must believe it.

Thinking of this, Perlman gave the headhunter a look.

The man understood and said something about Firefly's accumulation of strength and the need to develop the animation business - of course, this is more convincing for non-insiders.

At the very least, boasting is not desirable in such management talent.

The man put on a pretense and said politely: "Actually, it's not too late to talk about it before thinking about a decision. Could it be that Mr. is tired of animation work?"

McLeodandrei didn't answer, but replied as if agreeing: "I can go take a look at an appointment."

To get such a reply, the headhunters wanted to fight again, but Perlman was very acceptable.

If he doesn't want to talk at all, he can turn around and leave now - if they don't want to do it, can't they be tied up.

"We'll let you know in advance."

Putting this sentence aside, Perlman went back to his life.

When Perlman left, McLeodandrei didn't want to sit still, and made a direct phone call to his confidant and subordinates during his tenure in the Gu Fox animation department.

After he left, two or three people who were close to him also left together.

Youdao is one emperor and one courtier, and this sentence also applies to the workplace.

You must know that the expansion of the power of managers depends on the increase of the number of people they manage.

How can an airborne executive quickly expand his voice?

Most of the means are to add "own people", so it can be seen that after the top management of the department changes, some people are always promoted or recruited, and some old people are marginalized.

It's not that the newcomers are more experienced than the old people~www.readwn.com~the ability to do things is more prominent, it's just that they are more obedient and easier to obey.

A few days after McLeodandre left, he received his direct line team being "cleaned".

No way, if it were him, he would do the same.

Because it has the lowest cost and the best effect, it can not only establish a prestige, but also cultivate a team, so why not do it.

However, that's all, McLeodandrek never thought of retiring.

After cleaning, he can instead gather a group of available personnel.

But the previous lessons also made him have more concerns about "coming out" again.

He didn't want to, and because of the intervention of shareholders and bosses, he kept a different voice - after Blue Sky was acquired, his status in Fox has always been relatively detached and independent, just like the current Pixar acquisition by Disney, it was basically assimilated at the beginning. No.

"Boss, you said on the phone that you want to join Firefly?"
