Chapter 292 What is Dongshan Big Brother? (Tactical Leaning Back)
The news that Zuo Le spent tens of millions and gave bonuses to internal employees of Shanhe quickly spread to the outside world.
It aroused all kinds of envy, jealousy and hatred.
If we talk about year-end bonuses, there are not many large companies that are willing to spend money every year. For profit-making departments such as Penguin Games, bonuses are in the hundreds of millions. It is said that some ordinary employees can get more than one million.
This batch of bonuses from Sunward is a special bonus that is separate from Sunward employees’ usual work performance bonuses, quarterly bonuses and other regular bonuses.
In other words, the boss Zuo Le saw that the company was making money, so he paid out of his own pocket to provide benefits to employees.
For Sunward employees, it was an unexpected surprise.
Tsk tsk, other people’s bosses are giving out money in different ways, and if you compare it with yourself, who wouldn’t feel sad when you see it?
As the news spread, Sunward employees became the envy of the public, and Chairman Zuo Da successfully became someone else's boss.
The reputation of Shanhe Film Company has been on the rise. It is now August, which is the hottest stage of the employment season.
When the news of Sunward's huge bonuses came out, many fresh graduates were excited and sent their resumes to Sunward. The mailboxes and phone calls of Sunward's Human Resources Department were almost overcrowded in the past two days.
The original intention of Zuo Le's bonus was to reward the meritorious officials in the first half of the year, and to encourage employees to continue working hard in the second half of the year and help him, the boss, make money.
Now I have earned a reputation as a good boss, and the company has also gained a reputation in the recruitment market, which is an unexpected blessing.
………
Shanhe pays huge bonuses to its employees. For most people outside, it has little to do with them. At most, they are just watching the fun and feeling envious and jealous.
But for those who are knowledgeable in the industry, they can see some clues from it.
If you can spend tens of millions in bonuses, Shanhe will probably make a lot of money in the first half of the year...
Shanhe is not a listed company, so the outside world knows nothing about its internal finances and can only make guesses based on various details.
But no matter how you guess, it is an ironclad fact that Shanhe is making a lot of money, and even in the current sluggish film and television market, it is likely to be a unique existence.
At least, the top film and television companies in the industry made enough profits in the first half of this year to spend tens of millions in cash as bonuses.
Shanhe dares to do this, which shows that he is confident.
These days, money is everything. The film and television market is in a slump, and many projects cannot find funding. Shanhe is rich and powerful, and it suddenly becomes popular.
From late August to early September, I came to Laiquan City to look for Shanhe to cooperate. There were no less than thirty film and television companies that invested in it, and most of them were regular projects, not the kind that were purely money-scamming.
No one is stupid. The momentum of Shanhe is so strong now, and every product is producing high-quality products. If you want to invest in Shanhe with a money-making work that fools laymen, wouldn't you be bringing humiliation to yourself?
Therefore, those who dare to come to Shanhe to seek cooperation, except for a few people who are trying their luck, basically have real materials, and there are even projects with good prospects.
………
For these projects that come to you.
Zuo Le was very cautious and held many meetings with Yan Kui and other core senior officials to discuss the matter.
Since Zuo Le established Shanhe in 2017, except for the two series of Health Team and Cooking Class that he collaborated with Kongwen, the rest of his works have been self-produced and sold.
Relying on the quality of its own works and the support of Dongshan TV, Shanhe has developed extremely fast. In just 4 years, it has developed from a grassroots team into a first-class film and television company in the industry.
Not only has it become a dominant presence in the domestic television field, it is also one of the faces of Dongshan Province's cultural, entertainment, film and television industry, and even has a certain influence in surrounding provinces.
It can be said that the current development of mountains and rivers has reached a bottleneck.
The only one in the field of TV series.
The cultural industry in Dongshan Province is king and hegemony.
If we continue to develop along this path, we will only lay a deeper foundation in these two aspects and make our position more stable.
If you want to trigger a qualitative change, you have to take other paths. Entering the film industry is the first step for Shanhe, and now Zuo Le sees the second step.
Let the mountains and rivers go out from Dongshan Province.
Going out is not about moving mountains and rivers.
The development of Shanhe over the past few years is inseparable from the support from all aspects of Dongshan Province, and the two parties have long been tied together.
Shanhe will never abandon its base camp where it has been operating for many years, and Dongshan Province will not let an industry like Shanhe leave.
What Zuo Le said about going global refers to Shanhe's influence and money going global.
The entertainment industry is not big, but it is not small either. There are many mountains in the industry, and it is divided into several factions just by geography.
The Beijing circle, represented by Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei, is the most powerful entertainment group in the circle, with countless elites and powerful capital and political resources.
Second, it should be said that it is the southern circle headed by the two provinces and one city of Jiangsu and Zhejiang. This circle has actually only developed in recent years.
It is mainly composed of artists who live and develop in the magic city, plus some entertainment companies. The overall environment is relatively loose, but if they join forces, they can compete with the Beijing circle.
The third is the Hong Kong circle, which is mainly based on Hong Kong artists and entertainment capital, and also includes Taiwan and Guangdong provinces.
The Hong Kong community acts in a low-key manner, and is characterized by a strong sense of teamwork. The resources in hand generally give priority to one's own people, and everyone will work together on anything.
These three circles are the three most representative circles divided by regions in the entertainment industry, and they are also the three most powerful.
Next there are the Northwest Circle, Guanwai Circle, and the newly promoted Dongshan Circle.
The Northwest Circle, strictly speaking, is a small circle attached to the Beijing Circle, and many of them also hang out in the Beijing Circle.
Therefore, the northwest circle does not have its own base. It is mainly based on artists and capital from the northwest region. It is better to say that it is a regional force than a rural party group to keep warm.
The outer circle of the pass is not very strong, and the most representative figure is Zhao Shan. Most of his people are active in the three provinces outside the pass, and not many people can enter the pass.
As for the final Dongshan Circle, to be honest, it’s a bit misnamed.
It was completely a circle that was promoted by others after seeing the rise of Shanhe in the past two years and Dongshan TV becoming a first-tier TV station.
In fact, in this so-called Dongshan circle, apart from people from Shanhe, there are not many people who can come up with it. Many Dongshan artists themselves are hanging out in other circles.
But no matter what, at least the name is here, and the "big" mountain in the serious entertainment industry is still quite intimidating.
Some entertainment gossip editors have already claimed that Zuo Le is Zhao Shan from Dongshan Province, and even made up a line about it.
If you want to fight fire in Dongshan, you have to find Zuo Le!
What is Dongshan Boss (tactical fallback)
………
Zuo Le sneered at these messy things and even criticized them, but he was still secretly happy in his heart. Who doesn't have a little vanity?
However, although the name of the Dongshan boss is resounding, it also limits the development of Shanhe.
Everyone has already acquiesced that Dongshan is your Zuo Le's territory. No matter how hard you work in Dongshan, if you come out, you have crossed the line.
Of course, it's not as absolute as it sounds.
The entertainment industry is not a gang, and the so-called regional circles only refer to resources and power. There are many artists in the capital, and not all of them have joined the Beijing circle.
The barriers are not that strict, there are more people cooperating, and there are even many small circles underneath.
However, relatively speaking, the projects in the capital are mainly in the Beijing area. If there are any projects in the Magic City, priority will be given to looking for help from people in the southern area.
If Zuo Le contacted him personally in advance, it would be a bit of a back-and-forth. If it were to be a hit project, a petty person could easily hold a grudge.
Therefore, even though Zuo Le has money in his hands, he cannot just find people to invest. People have to come to him.
They took the project and felt that Shanhe was strong, so they took the initiative to seek cooperation with Zuo Le. No matter what the circle behind it was, they could not fault Zuo Le.
He doesn't act so domineeringly.
Sunward invested the money and the project was completed. Not only did it get the money, but it also gained influence. Others saw it and continued to come to Sunward for cooperation with new projects.
As more people come to cooperate, Shanhe's influence in the entertainment industry will become greater and greater. At the same time, an entertainment industry interest group will be formed with Shanhe as the main group. Shanhe's tentacles will also spread to the entire entertainment industry.
When Zuo Le spoke, everything was answered.
The Dongshan boss also became a giant in the entertainment industry.
Of course, Zuo Le's ambitions are not that big. He just wants to open up more ways for Shanhe to make money.
In fact, it was not that no one came to Shanhe to look for investment in the past, but at that time Shanhe's power was not yet completely stable, and they were afraid of causing any trouble, so they ignored them.
Now Zuo Le feels that the general trend has been achieved, and he can appropriately choose a few external projects to test the waters.
Even if it's great, it will hit a wall and overturn. Anyway, Shanhe's fundamentals are stable, and at most it will only result in a loss of some money.
He can afford to pay.
After making up his mind, Chairman Zuo Le took charge personally, and President Yan Kui was responsible for the specifics. It was planned to establish an investment department to select suitable film and television projects and invest in them in the name of Shanhe.
Zuo Le approved the initial amount of 100 million for the investment department.
Although the money is not much, it is enough to occupy a certain say in two or three projects.
After all, it is a newly established department and there are risks, so stability is the priority. If results are achieved, it will not be too late to increase investment.
………
Zuo Le has been in the company for less than half a month. Apart from discussing rewards for merit, establishing an investment department, and confirming the Dongshan plan, he and Cao Jie spent the rest of the time discussing the establishment of personal studios for artists.
This incident has a great impact on Shanhe, especially the brokerage department.
After all, those who can set up their own studios are the backbone and even core artists of Shanhe. After they leave, although they are still attached to Shanhe, they have little relationship with the Ministry of Economic Affairs.
Many people are worried that after these pillars leave, will the remaining newcomers be able to take up the positions left by the old people.
Zuo Le also knew about these rumors, but there was nothing he could do about it.
Now that these artists have developed to a certain level, staying at Sunward would be harmful to their development. Sunward does not have so many resources to attract and appease so many first-line stars.
Unless Zuo Le is willing to give up part of Shanhe's shares, with the shares, the artist and Shanhe are completely tied together, and they will not leave even if they are asked to leave.
But Zuo Le obviously wouldn't do that.
Artists are not irreplaceable. Even if they leave Shanhe, both parties can still cooperate. Only if he is crazy would he use his shares to throw people away.
Therefore, separation is inevitable and the advantages outweigh the disadvantages.
Zuo Le discussed with Cao Jie, and talked with artists who were qualified to start their own studio, and finally decided on a list of four people in total to cooperate with Shanhe to set up a personal studio.
