Xinyao Film and Television officially changed its name to Fengmang Film and Television Culture, and the office space was moved from the original somewhat dilapidated office building to the office building next to the Guomao Building, which was the same place that Chen Feng bought before.
It had always been empty, but now it has come in handy. It is more than 200 square meters, which is much larger than the previous one of Xinyao Film and Television. It is now more than enough as the office space of their Fengmang Film and Television Company.
After completing the relevant procedures in a few days, the office building in the Guomao Building was simply renovated and planned, and the Fengmang Film and Television sign was officially hung at the entrance.
In this way, a new company wholly owned by Chen Feng is officially opened.
Currently, there are not many employees in Fengmang Film and Television, including Chen Feng, there are only four people, and the other three are Wu Mengting, Sun Xiaorui, and Xin Yuqing.
Among them, Chen Feng is the chairman, Wu Mengting is the assistant to the chairman and financial director, and Sun Xiaorui holds the title of secretary to the chairman, and is also the deputy general manager, in charge of administration, personnel and logistics.
Xin Yuqing is now temporarily serving as the front desk and human resources administrative assistant, supporting Sun and Wu.
The recruitment advertisement was put out a few days ago and a lot of applications have been received. However, because the office building has not been renovated yet, there have been no interviews.
Now that the office building is ready, interviews can begin.
To be honest, including Chen Feng, they know nothing about the film and television industry and film and television production. If they are asked to interview, they may not be able to recruit the talents they want.
Therefore, after discussing with Wu Mengting and Sun Xiaorui, Chen Feng decided to find someone knowledgeable to check.
The first thing that comes to mind is Tao Yaoyang. He is a shareholder of Star Media. It is obviously not difficult for him to find someone from Star Media.
However, in the end, Chen Feng rejected it. Ultimately, Chen Feng didn't want to owe this guy too many favors, nor did he want to get too involved with him.
Secondly, there are Zhang Yuxi and her agent, Sister Hua, especially Sister Hua. Unfortunately, she is busy with her own work and cannot come here to sit in charge. She does not have the time for the time being. However, she can ask them to recommend relevant talents or find someone to help them.
It would be more feasible to have a reliable person come over and take charge of the interview.
With the relationship between Chen Feng and Zhang Yuxi, this matter was of course easier to handle. When Chen Feng called her and told her about the matter, Zhang Yuxi agreed and expressed that he could help.
The next day, Zhang Yuxi recommended someone from Sister Hua. He was one of Sister Hua’s apprentices, named Hu Rui. He had been following Sister Hua for several years. Now he also works for Star Media Company and is also an agent.
Each artist is still a little bit incapable of doing anything, and working at Star Media is not very comfortable.
Therefore, she plans to change jobs. She has been working in the entertainment industry for several years and has a good understanding of the structure of film and television companies, especially the artist management business, which is her job.
There is absolutely no problem in temporarily seconding her to serve as an interviewer. If Chen Feng can persuade her to stay, that is also possible. This depends on Chen Feng's sincerity and attractiveness.
In order to take care of her time, the interview was specially arranged on Saturday and Sunday.
Of course, Hu Rui alone is obviously not enough. After all, there are now more than a hundred people to be interviewed.
This is still the result of a certain division of labor. For example, the relevant positions in finance, personnel, and administration can be decided by Sun and Wu. However, the talents in related film and television production and agency affairs must be professionals like Hu Rui.
Just speaking the right way.
Especially in the field of film and television production, the professionalism is quite strong. Of course, you need to be professional during the interview. Thinking of this, Chen Feng thought of the Zhao who he learned about from her father when he went to Liu Ying's house last time.
Uncle Zhao, director, is an old director and must be familiar with film and television production.
Chen Feng did not hesitate and contacted Liu Ying directly and told her the matter.
When Liu Ying heard that Chen Feng had acquired a film and television company and was recruiting people, she immediately became excited. She had been waiting for this day, so she immediately offered herself up and said that she could be the finance manager of the company and help Chen Feng manage the company's finances.
She said that she has been learning financial accounting knowledge in the past few years, and she also did related work in many companies when she was abroad.
Chen Feng didn't refuse either. Instead of letting her spend all day thinking about how to marry him, it would be better to find something for her to do.
So, Chen Feng directly gave her the title of financial manager. She was so happy that she kept laughing. She immediately said that she would contact her father and that she would definitely be able to ask her Uncle Zhao to help.
Liu Ying took action, and Uncle Zhao Zhao Guoqing was easily persuaded to come and help because of Liu's father's respect.
After receiving the confirmation, Liu Ying immediately reported the good news to Chen Feng, and then went directly to Villa No. 8.
A few days ago, she came over to visit when she had nothing to do, which gave Chen Feng a headache. In the end, Chen Feng went to her place to stay overnight and warned her not to go to Villa No. 8 if she had nothing to do, so she stopped for a few days.
But today she came to announce the good news, so of course Chen Feng couldn't say anything to her, so he let her into the house, and then told her about Zhao Guoqing in front of Sun and Wu.
Chen Feng had already told Sun and Wu about this in advance, and they were not surprised.
"Then tonight, I will invite Uncle Zhao to dinner, and call your father too."
Zhao Guoqing has been working as a director for decades. Although he has not become famous, he still has the necessary contacts, and more importantly, the relevant industry experience, which is what rookies like them need to rely on. Therefore, Chen Feng is very interested in him.
People take it seriously.
"Okay, I'll call my dad right away. By the way, where to eat? What time?"
Liu Ying happily took out her mobile phone.
"Seven o'clock tonight, Mandarin Residence."
"Wenhua Residence?" Liu Ying's eyes lit up, and she asked in surprise and surprise, "Is it the prince's mansion we went to last time? Don't we have to make a reservation a few days in advance? Can we make it tonight?"
Chen Feng had no choice but to explain: "I just made the reservation a few days ago. If you have time, just inform your dad and Uncle Zhao."
"good."
Liu Ying was very happy and immediately called her father, who readily agreed.
After hanging up the phone, Liu Ying glanced at Sun and Wu with a hint of pride, and said to Chen Feng with a smile: "Uncle Zhao has been working in movies for decades and has rich experience. If he can invite our company to take charge, he will definitely help our company."
Do it well.”
Chen Feng also smiled and said: "If he is willing, I can let him be in charge of our company's film and television production."
When Liu Ying heard this, she shook her head and said: "Uncle Zhao is not short of money now. He can't even spend his retirement salary. He agreed to help this time just for the sake of my father. He will definitely not let him work hard and be responsible for the specific work."
Yes, but if you give him the title of consultant as you said at my house last time and ask him to come over and help occasionally, it would still be okay."
Chen Feng thought for a while and nodded: "Then let him serve as our company's art consultant. The monthly salary is 50,000 yuan. Do you think it is suitable?"
"Fifty...fifty thousand?" Liu Ying was speechless, "Is this too much?"
Chen Feng said with a smile: "Just because he has worked in the film industry for decades, he is worth this price. Besides, doesn't it also save the face of you and your father? If the payment is less, your face will not look good."
In fact, what Chen Feng mainly wants to do is rely on Uncle Zhao's connections in the film industry. Connections are priceless. In many cases, the value of connections is immeasurable.
For example, Xinyao Film and Television's "Heshan Order" was originally stuck in review, but Xinyao Film and Television failed to revise it several times. In the final analysis, it is not only the subject matter of this TV series, but also a public relations lobbying issue.
Otherwise, why can other similar TV series be approved, but "Heshan Order" cannot?
Chen Feng and the current Fengmang Film and Television are completely newbies in the film and television industry, not even as good as the previous Xinyao Film and Television, so they urgently need industry veterans like Zhao Guoqing to lead the way.
Liu Ying believed that Chen Feng gave Uncle Zhao such a high salary mainly for her and her father's sake, and she felt happy and touched at the same time. She looked at Chen Feng with a bright look in her eyes.
Chen Feng was a little embarrassed to be looked at by her like this, especially with the two daughters Sun and Wu nearby. He coughed dryly and said, "Tell me about the treatment I mentioned and see what Uncle Zhao means. If you are not satisfied, we can try again."
talk."
Liu Ying nodded obediently. She didn't call this time, but just sent a WeChat message to her father.
Not long after, her father replied and said that Zhao Guoqing was very satisfied with the treatment, and even said it was a bit too much.
After Chen Feng received such an answer, he finally felt relieved. After all, the film and television company spent 30 million to buy it. If there is no expert to take care of it, and it messes around, it will definitely end up with losses and bankruptcy.
"Please tell me that our company has just been established and there will be a lot of trouble for Uncle Zhao in the future. It is better for him to worry about it in the future."
Liu Ying conveyed the message and a very harmonious atmosphere was initially established between the two parties.
It was now past four o'clock in the afternoon. After Liu Ying stayed here for more than half an hour, she said she wanted to go home to pick up her father and Uncle Zhao, and then left.
As soon as she left, Wu Mengting asked: "Is this Uncle Zhao she said reliable? You have never met him, so you are offering him such a high salary, just in case..."
Chen Feng waved his hand and said: "This Uncle Zhao's name is Zhao Guoqing. You can find some relevant information about him on the Internet. It cannot be faked. He has been working in the film and television industry for more than 40 years. For such an industry veteran, he has more than 40 years of experience."
The connections we have built over the years are what our company needs most now. After our company's internal structure is established, I plan to ask him to help with the review work for the TV series "Heshan Order". If he can succeed, what do you think he will do?
Is this salary high?”
Wu Mengting was immediately unable to say anything to refute.
Sun Xiaorui on the side took over and said: "You asked her to be the financial manager and Wu Mengting to be the financial director. Isn't this a little bad?"
Hearing this, Chen Feng said with some embarrassment: "I didn't expect her to be so active in doing financial work. It's hard to dampen her enthusiasm, right? So she agreed. She didn't know yet that Meng Ting was the financial director, who happened to be in charge.
She, let her be happy for a while first."
When Sun and Wu heard this, they were both funny and somewhat sympathetic to Liu Ying.
It is conceivable that Liu Ying would be very depressed if she knew that Wu Mengting was the financial director and was in charge of her.
At seven o'clock in the evening, there were four people at a table at Wenhuaju, accompanied by Liu Ying and Liu's father. Zhao Guoqing and Chen Feng were very relaxed, chatting and laughing with each other, and had a good impression of each other.
After a dinner, Chen Feng and Zhao Guoqing seemed to be very familiar with each other. Of course, this was mainly due to Liu's father's relationship. Liu's father and Zhao Guoqing had been friends for decades, and Liu's father regarded Chen Feng as his prospective son-in-law. So the relationship between them
Obviously he seems very close.
The next day, Hu Rui flew over from Beijing on Friday night. Wu Mengting and Sun Xiaorui went to the airport to pick her up and treated her to a meal.
On Saturday morning, Fengmang Film and Television in the China World Trade Center officially started the interview process for external recruitment.
These applicants were grouped according to different positions, and ordinary department positions were given to Sun Wu and Liu Ying for interviews. The three of them scored together and selected the best for admission.
For positions above the manager level, the boss, Chen Feng, will personally interview.
Zhao Guoqing is responsible for interviewing talents related to film and television production, including project planning, advertising and marketing, photography, video processing, post-editing, recording, etc.
Hu Rui mainly interviews agents, corporate publicity, publicity assistants, work assistants, life assistants, photographers, makeup artists, hairstylists, designers, costumers and other positions. These people are mainly interviewed for the company's contracted artists.
Services.
Chen Feng's recruitment standard is to try to find as many positions as the company needs and build the company's overall frame.
After two days of interviews, candidates were selected for most positions in the company.
The current main shortage is a candidate for a truly knowledgeable general manager. This candidate is directly related to the company's future development prospects and is not so easy to find.
Finally, Zhao Guoqing mobilized his personal connections and found two candidates. One was the vice president of a peer company that had successfully produced many popular film and television dramas and was considered a large company. The other was the general manager of a small company.
I just resigned now.
So, Chen Feng asked Zhao Guoqing to contact the two people through an intermediary, and the vice president offered conditions: an annual salary of 800,000 yuan, plus an 8% share dividend.
Of course, Chen Feng couldn't immediately agree to this condition. He said that he could have an interview first, but the other party was a little bit coy and asked Chen Feng to go to Shanghai and then contact him. The company he currently works for is in Shanghai.
When Chen Feng saw this man being so arrogant, he immediately refused. He was too lazy to serve someone with such an arrogant attitude.
The general manager who had resigned said that he had no plans to work for the time being, but he still expressed his gratitude to Fengmang Film and Television for the invitation. Compared to the vice president, his attitude and politeness were much better.
Chen Feng immediately had a good impression of her, and immediately asked for the person's mobile phone number through an intermediary, intending to contact him personally to do the persuasion work.
I called the phone, and it took a while for the other party to answer the call. It was a rather lazy female voice: "Hello, who can I call?"
Chen Feng responded politely: "Hello, I am Chen Feng, the owner of Fengmang Film and Television. Are you Ms. Lu?"
"Your name is Chen Feng?" The other party looked a little surprised.
"Yes, my name is Chen Feng. Ms. Lu. Although we have just established Fengmang Film and Television, its predecessor is Xinyao Film and Television in Xiuzhou. You may have heard of it."
Chen Feng was talking, but he didn't want the other party to ask abruptly: "Are you from Lushi?"
Chen Feng couldn't help but be stunned and said in surprise: "You know me?"
A silver bell-like laughter could not help but ring over there.
