Chapter three hundred and sixty-two, the future
In the next few days, Nan Yi was busy with the script of "Home Imperial", while Rachel did a good job in transferring debts, transferring 690 million US dollars of debts, 390 million of which were transferred to the 20th Century Fox, and the remaining 300 million remained in the name of Red Sofa.
The copyright of Star Wars and Alien was transferred from 20th Century Fox to the Red Sofa, and then sold it to the Gunners for a package price of 10,000 US dollars.
None of the three companies are listed companies. You don’t have to explain to any shareholders what price they want to sell.
Moreover, if you have a discerning person’s relationship with the three companies, you can figure it out with a little analysis. If you pay an extra transaction tax on the left hand, you won’t be too troublesome.
After finishing these tasks, Nan Yi was given the identity of a shareholder representative, and Rachel returned to New York. After all, her main job was still on Pan American Investment Control.
With the identity of a shareholder representative, Nanyi can temporarily control 20th Century Fox.
Soon, he established the preparatory team for "Home Imperials", and the producer decided that Harvey Weinstein was the one who was also a celebrity, but notorious.
Even those who don’t care much about the entertainment industry have heard of his name. He doesn’t care what will happen to Harvey Weinstein in the future.
After reading Harvey Weinstein's information and talking to him, Nan Yi knew very well that this guy was a talent, but a very ambitious talent. He would not take long to jump out and work alone.
"Harvey, the project "Home Imperial" is very important. It is the first shot fired by shareholders who took over 20th Century Fox. If we don't get things done well, you should be able to think of what consequences will be."
Before the meeting began, Nan Yi still beat Harvey Weinstein first.
Harvey Weinstein responded: "Adam, I know the stakes in it very well, and I will do my best."
"That's the best." Nan Yi nodded with satisfaction and asked again: "What do you have any opinions on the director's candidate?"
"Barry Levinson, Amy Hecklin, Howard Ziev, these three are suitable."
"Barry Levinson is the director of "Good Morning"; Howard Ziev is the director of "Little Confused Being a Soldier", and Amy Hecklin is the director of "Open National Studies University."
As soon as Harvey Weinstein published his name, their masterpiece immediately popped up in Nan Yi's mind.
Before the meeting, Nan Yi had memorized the basic information of the directors who had filmed comedy films. He did not allow himself to act like an idiot when he was in the meeting.
"Amy Hecklin, I don't think it's suitable. She is a woman with a very tender and delicate style. If it's for winning the award, find her suitable, but what we need to pay attention to is the box office.
We need the audience to laugh from beginning to end. Most of our box office comes from young people. The film does not need to be deep. It is funny. It makes the children think Kevin is cool. Just take into account the sense of immersion of parents and remind them of their naughty children."
"Adam, what you said makes sense, and Amy Hecklin is really not suitable." Harvey Weinstein said in agreement.
Nan Yi complained in his stomach, "Damn, you came from China. You also played this trick that you added an obvious mistake to point out. No wonder this grandson's relationship with the Chinese director circle was handled so well in his future generations."
"The most important thing for us now is to decide on the director and casting director. This project is quite urgent. I hope the casting can be completed within three months and filming will start before early May."
"But the background of this movie is Christmas, are we going to shoot in the Arctic Circle?"
"There is no need for the Arctic Circle. In summer, the Arctic Circle is exactly the extreme day. There are many night scenes in "Home Imperials". The set is too troublesome, so you can choose a cold area like Alaska.
Of course, choosing a shooting location mainly considers the shooting cost. If other countries have subsidies and tax refund policies, then go to other countries to shoot.”
“No country seems to have such a policy at the moment.”
"Don't be arbitrary. First choose the right shooting location, and then send an email to the local town hall. Just ask. Of course, appropriate words are needed, such as promoting local tourism, Harvey, it depends on how you package our project.
Let me talk about the filming location first. Let me talk about a few actors I think are suitable. After the casting director decides, you can invite them to come and try it.
The male lead Kevin, I think both Leonardo and Revan Phoenix are quite suitable, so I can invite them to try it;
Harry, among the two stupid thieves, can invite Mel Brooks, Bill Murray, Robin Williams, and Joe Pesci to audition;
Another stupid thief Marvin can find Tom Hanks and Jim Carrey."
"Who is Leonardo? I haven't heard of this name." Harvey Weinstein asked.
"There is an educational film called "Game House". He plays a role in it. You can find it out and see. I just think these candidates are suitable, and there is no intention to specify them. Everything depends on the audition results.
As for the other roles, I don’t have any good candidates, so I will leave it to Harvey and the director to cast the director to find the right candidates;
Especially the character of Kevin's mother, Harvey, I don't mind you using it for favors, as long as you don't cause trouble."
Nan Yi’s subtext is: “I don’t care whether you are unwritten or not, just don’t cause any trouble for me.”
The role of Kevin's mother has not appeared very often, but it is not very important to the film. There are many people in Hollywood who can play this role. Whoever does not use it will not have any impact on the quality of the film.
"Ha, Adam, I understand." Harvey Weinstein smiled knowingly.
"Okay, wait until the director and casting director decide to call me." Nan Yi took away the folder at hand and walked out of the conference room.
There is also a lot of work in the preliminary preparation of a film project. In addition, Nan Yi is an outsider and has to learn some knowledge immediately, which makes it even more tiring to do it.
But he can't do it if he doesn't participate. He doesn't participate in the first project directly and uses the method of herding sheep, which will not make the old fried dough sticks of 20th Century Fox go against the sky.
Nanyi must follow up on this project so that these old guys know that the representatives of "new bosses" are not easy to fool.
Back at No. 5103, Beverly Hills, Nanyi headed straight to the glass room.
"How are you reading the information?"
Nan Ruoyan Liang took the information in Liang's hand, "Dad, I have only read three copies of the information. I don't know what the meaning of many proper nouns represent, and I can't review whether various expenses are reasonable. I don't know how much the normalized expenses are reasonable."
"It's okay, read it slowly and learn slowly. As a manager, you must understand the business processes of the company you manage and also know the reasonable range of various expenditures so that you won't be fooled.
There are some places where you can do things that you can't see, but you must be clear about it.
No one is perfect, and many people have the idea of being greedy for small gains. For example, it is inevitable that business travelers will be reimbursed for excessive reimbursement.
Some accounts review and verification are too expensive, so they can only turn a blind eye and set up a cordon. Below the cordon, just pretend that it is not known. If you exceed the cordon, you have to treat it differently depending on the importance of the person who makes the mistake to the company."
"Dad, if he is a salesperson, he can bring a lot of business to the company, but he also has obvious mistakes, such as taking kickbacks privately, or reporting more rebates from business personnel, and hiding them himself, how should he deal with this person?"
"This question is a bit complicated. Let's call this salesperson Xiao Ming first. First, you need to analyze the proportion of the business brought back by Xiao Ming to account for the company's revenue.
If the business that Xiao Ming brought back can determine the life and death of the company, then quickly discuss shares with him, let him become one of the owners of the company, and share the company's profits with you;
If the company can still operate normally if the business brought back by Xiao Ming is abandoned, the profit may not be so considerable, it depends on how big Xiao Ming's appetite is.
If Xiao Ming's appetite is so big that you can't tolerate it, then continue to use it, and secretly collect evidence of his rebates. When the evidence is sufficient, he will just go to death, leaving him without a foothold in the industry.
Never negotiate and resolve the problem unless you have a handle in his hand.
Of course, if you can tolerate it, then just hit it so that he should not go too far. The evidence should still be collected. You have to hold on to his handle, but you have to prepare without using it, and you have to get along with him.
A capable person like Xiao Ming will sooner or later set up a new branch and keep a fame. If you don’t say you are watching each other, at least he will give you a face.
What I said above is based on the fact that personal ability is greater than the company's platform. If personal ability is less than the company's platform role, then you must consider role model and scale.
If someone else follows the same thing, Xiao Ming No. 2 and No. 3 appear, how much harm will this cause to the company?
Will it lead to the company's rules and regulations being destroyed in name only?
Will it lead to the collapse of the company's platform?
These are factors that you need to consider and weigh. As the saying goes, no one is perfect. If you are perfect, you will never be able to surrender to others.
Everyone has their own strengths and weaknesses. Discover their strengths for you to use and tolerate their weaknesses that do not exceed your bottom line. This is the way to employ people.”
"Dad, I didn't understand very much."
"It's okay, remember what I said first. Now you are all by my side. If you have the opportunity to see real cases, just read, learn and think."
"Um."
Nan Yi touched Nan Ruoyan's head, sat next to her, and looked at the information.
