Of course, in this era, Hollywood has not yet formed such a complete system.
And this is Cao Weidong's opportunity to lead Hong Kong Film to achieve overtaking in a corner.
He has an ambition.
Let Hong Kong City’s movies become the cultural core of the entire world!
Just like Hollywood in the future, create a super invincible entertainment core!
That’s why he wants to push forward reforms.
The first shot of Cao Weidong's reform will be fired within Jiahe Pictures.
But now, the first batch of vested interests have gathered together and begun to raise voices of resistance...
.......
Cao Weidong's eyes swept over those who ran to him to protest.
Especially the leaders.
His gaze was as sharp as lightning, and wherever he passed, everyone avoided him.
A long while.
Cao Weidong asked:
"Is this your attitude?"
A balding middle-aged man said impatiently.
"Yes, since we are responsible for the filming of the film, please do not interfere at will. This is our right."
Cao Weidong sneered.
No comment on the Mediterranean.
Most of these people are directors, screenwriters, and producers, whom Zou Wenhuai brought over from Shaw Brothers Film Company.
They have rich experience in film shooting.
But precisely because of this, past customs are more deeply ingrained in them.
Cao Weidong pondered for a moment, narrowed his eyes, and said lightly.
"Forget it if you don't want to do it...Secretary, settle the wages for these guys. The cooperation ends here."
"I'm putting these words here today. If anyone wants to leave, just ask. I will never stop you."
This...
Just let yourself go?
Everyone was a little confused.
This is completely different from what they thought.
The people participating in the protest suddenly became silent.
Jiahe gives them generous remuneration and a movie sharing system. As long as they can make a good movie, they can make a lot of money.
They were a little reluctant to part with it.
However, at this time, Mediterranean, who had just spoken, felt a little embarrassed and said angrily.
"Mr. Cao, we all came to Jiahe because of Mr. Zou's face, and you did this to us! Do you know who I am?"
Cao Weidong glanced at the Mediterranean Sea.
His information comes to mind.
"I know that you have made several fairly good martial arts films, and the one with the highest box office sold more than 700,000 yuan."
This time, Jiahe's twelve films were shot simultaneously, with both interior and exterior scenes, requiring a large number of staff.
So Zou Wenhuai used his connections to win over many people.
When Mediterranean heard this, his expression was a little proud.
"It's good that you know..."
However, Cao Weidong's next words completely broke the middle-aged man's defense.
"Sir, I declare very seriously that you have been fired, and I will compensate you according to the contract, not a penny less."
The Mediterranean expression is out of control.
"Why? I'm a famous director, and you treat me like this?"
Cao Weidong shrugged.
"I don't care if you are a famous director. I only know that when you shoot a movie in my company, you must follow our company's system. If you can't abide by the system I set, I won't use anyone no matter how capable you are.
."
The Mediterranean Sea was suddenly blocked.
He knows that he is probably the "chicken" who kills the chicken to scare the monkey.
Anger suddenly surged into my brain.
Mediterranean said angrily.
"If it weren't for us, I would like to see what kind of movies you can make."
Then he turned around and said to his companions.
"You have also seen Jiahe's attitude. Since we are not respected here, why do we still stay here? Why don't we go back to Shaw Brothers?"
Although Shaw Brothers squeezes its employees, it is undeniable that various welfare and security systems are still in place.
Therefore, many people are a little moved.
After hesitating for a moment, about a third of the people moved and stood beside the Mediterranean Sea.
Seeing that there were so many people willing to follow him, Mediterranean looked at Cao Weidong provocatively, seeming to be mocking and threatening.
Cao Weidong's expression remains the same.
"Secretary, terminate the contract."
The little secretary’s scalp is numb.
Being able to stay with Cao Weidong, she is certainly not a flower vase.
I know if these people leave their jobs.
Movies the company is filming will definitely be postponed.
So the little secretary reminded me.
"Mr. Cao, how about we ask Mr. Zou what he means?"
Cao Weidong waved his hand.
"No need, I can still make the decision on these matters. Just sign the agreement to terminate the contract."
The little secretary had no choice but to draft a contract termination agreement on the spot, and after all parties confirmed it, he would go through the procedures one by one for the resigning party.
After sending these people away, Cao Weidong returned to the office and began to write and draw.
After a while, Zou Wenhuai came over.
"Weidong, ah, my ancestor, you are impulsive this time."
Seeing Cao Weidong, Zou Wenhuai's facial features wrinkled up and he was about to cry.
"I know you want to reform the film shooting system, but you directly fired more than 20 people. Is this a bit too hasty?"
"We don't have a finished work yet. If we do it like this, we will be laughed at."
Cao Weidong is confident.
"Mr. Zou, don't worry, even if I use all new directors, screenwriters, and producers this time, I can still make a good movie."
Zou Wenhuai didn’t believe it.
Cao Weidong handed him what he had written and motioned to Zou Wenhuai to open it and take a look.
Zou Wenhuai did as he was told, his eyes swept over, and he was suddenly startled.
"Is this... okay?"
Cao Weidong smiled mysteriously, "Just wait and see."
.......
At the same time.
Shaw Brothers Pictures.
In the same office, Mr. Shao is listening to reports from his subordinates.
When he heard that Cao Weidong fired more than 20 directors, screenwriters and producers at one go, he couldn't help laughing and commented.
"After all, young people always have unrealistic ideas, but they have high ambitions and low abilities. It is often these people who are the most capable of doing bad things."
Mr. Shao waved his hand.
"Forget it, if those people are willing to come back, just sign the agreement according to the original contract."
The subordinate quickly said: "I understand."
Mr. Shao seemed to have thought of something at this time and said: "After these people left, what happened to the Jiahe shooting plan?"
The subordinate quickly replied: "Jiahe hired a group of inexperienced newcomers, and the filming of the film went on as planned, but they were too well hidden. After the filming, the crew was under collective closed management, and we could not find out the truth." p>
Mr. Shao said indifferently.
"It's okay. Nine times out of ten it's a bad movie. By the way, I've changed my mind. Let's spread the news and the theaters in Hong Kong City can show Golden Harvest's movies."
The subordinates were immediately confused.
What is your boss doing?
Are you rushing to hand over the knife to your competitors?
