Chapter 272 Film and Television Company
Because Chen Feng had to go to work, he did not accompany Guo Mengyao around for the next two days. However, after get off work in the evening, Chen Feng went back to the lakeside villa to spend the night.
In the past two days, Chen Feng basically spent time in the planning department, because this is his old territory, and he is familiar with it, and he directly participated in some event planning of the planning department, giving I gave a lot of my own suggestions and received unanimous praise from the planning department.
In addition, of course, he, the operations director, also visited other departments, mainly the sales department, chatted with a few gold medal salesmen, and encouraged new employees.
Although he had no experience as a company leader before, he had never eaten pork and had seen pigs run away. Now he is very comfortable and very skilled in being a leader.
But these two days have been a major personnel earthquake for Dianchuang Cultural Planning Company.
On the day after the layoffs were announced, the company laid off 20 people. Basically, they were all nepotistic employees left over from the previous company, and their personal work abilities were relatively average.
Before noon on the third day, all departments also submitted their layoff lists. After Chen Feng and Liu Meijun reviewed and interviewed individual employees on the list, except for a few people who continued to stay, the rest were also Cut off. This time more people were laid off, more than 30 people.
As a result, the entire company originally had more than 120 employees, but only about 70 were left, almost half of them were laid off.
This is quite powerful!
Therefore, everyone in the company is very nervous. At the same time, everyone is energetic and working hard, especially the sales department and planning department, who take the initiative to work overtime. The sales department laid off five people this time, and the planning department directly laid off 10 people.
The planning department originally had three teams, with a total number of only about twenty people. Now after such layoffs, there are only a dozen people left, which means that more than one-third of each team has been laid off. people.
However, such a layoff has actually stimulated the enthusiasm of the planning department.
Because most of the people laid off are incapable of getting by, and at least five of them are old gangsters who have been working in the company for more than three years. They have become accustomed to the comfortable life of dawdling around in the company and getting paid, and are not very enthusiastic about work. The projects assigned to them are delayed as long as they can, and the degree of completion is not very high. The planning plans they make often fail to satisfy customers, and they have to re- call back.
Although this kind of thing is very common, especially when encountering difficult customers and being called back many times, it is a good sign that different customers are often dissatisfied with their solutions. There is a problem with their personal abilities.
Many old customers were slowly wasted away by the substandard plans of these old bastards, and they found other planning companies to cooperate with.
Chen Feng has worked in the planning department for so many years, so of course he knows this very well, so after he became the boss, he became deeply disgusted with these colleagues who used to hang around in the company, and laid off the unambiguous ones.
Precisely because the company laid off so many people in the planning department without mercy, everyone who remained in the planning department was in awe of Chen Feng, the second boss. The planning department had just taken office. The manager of one year was even more wary of Chen Feng, an old colleague.
The manager of the planning department is named Gao Xiangyu. He is also an old employee of the company. He joined the company just over a year after Chen Feng. He is about the same time as Yan Jun and is considered his junior brother. At the beginning, the relationship between the two was relatively good. After all, Chen Feng was valued by the boss at that time, and he was also a team leader in the department, at the deputy manager level.
Only later, as Chen Feng was suppressed, of course he wisely kept a distance from him, and even sometimes helped Yan Jun, who was in charge, to say a few words to him. Although it was not excessive, it still counted. He is Yan Jun's accomplice.
When Yan Jun fell, he was the team leader of one of the three teams. Later, when Yan Jun fell, the other team leader was fired due to involvement in the case, and the other team leader also resigned due to lack of integrity. He, the only remaining team leader with great achievements, was relatively weak. After being clean, he was promoted to department manager.
From this point of view, he really has to thank Chen Feng, who put Yan Jun in jail. Otherwise, Yan Jun would always be in the position of manager, how could he have a chance to succeed?
But now that Chen Feng has become his immediate superior and boss, this has put too much psychological pressure on him. As a result, he has not been able to sleep well and eat well in the past two days, and the dark circles under his eyes have become significantly worse. .
In his opinion, Chen Feng is now in power, and he will definitely not be merciful to those who suppressed him or were accomplices back then. This is human nature.
Originally, he was prepared to be fired and fucked. However, two days later, after the layoff, he was still sitting in the manager's position. Chen Feng had no intention of firing him as a manager. , not to mention firing him.
This made him feel happy and puzzled at the same time.
That evening, Chen Feng invited several colleagues who remained from the planning department to dinner, totaling about ten people.
At the wine table, Gao Xiangyu took the initiative to apologize to Chen Feng by punishing himself with three glasses of white wine, thanking Chen Feng for his "grace of not killing", and apologizing for the things he had done to help others.
Chen Feng accepted his apology with a generous smile, so that Gao Xiangyu's heart that had been hanging around for the past few days was finally relieved.
Several other "old colleagues" had no quarrels with Chen Feng, because those who had quarrels were basically Yan Jun's former confidants. When Yan Jun was sentenced, they were all implicated. , not only were they sent to prison together, but they were all fired from the company.
Even if there were some who slipped through the net, Chen Feng took the opportunity to fire them all during this layoff. Chen Feng has no psychological burden on this.
For example, the fat supervisor I met last time was directly fired under Chen Feng’s attention in the first wave. Others were given some compensation and so on, but this one didn’t say anything and directly deducted it. his monthly salary.
The reason is very simple. As a small supervisor in the administration department, this guy took kickbacks while in charge of logistics chores and did many things to line his own pockets. Chen Feng did not come forward and directly asked people from the personnel department. If you "remind" him, he can only accept his fate and get out.
In comparison, the remaining "old colleagues" in the planning department have a relatively clean foundation. Therefore, Chen Feng is also willing to treat them to a meal to deepen their relationship.
Everyone was very satisfied with the meal, especially Gao Xiangyu who came back drunk after confirming that Chen Feng really had no intention of operating on him.
After the meal, Chen Feng started to herd the sheep. He no longer went to the company to work, but concentrated on accompanying Guo Mengyao and her daughter to play in the playground for a day. Then he returned to the lakeside villa and stayed with Guo Mengyao for one night.
Had a perfect experience before letting her leave.
The next morning, Chen Feng drove the mother and daughter to the airport. Guo Mengyao was very reluctant to leave her along the way, but as her boss, she couldn't ignore the company's affairs. In the end, she could only hug Chen Feng deeply at the airport, and then turned around and boarded the plane with her daughter. After Guo Mengyao left, Chen Feng finally returned to his previous normal life, just browsing his mobile phone and reading novels at home.
However, he did not remain quiet for long. At Wu Mengting's reminder, the background investigation reports of the three film companies came out and asked him to make a decision.
Chen Feng read these three reports carefully, and the investigation was quite detailed. He wrote down the company's ins and outs, asset structure, organizational structure, and operating conditions in great detail, with pictures and texts.
The most important thing is that this report also lists detailed information about the company's shareholders and several senior executives, including some of their social backgrounds, educational backgrounds, etc. This is very rare. No wonder it took so long to get it done.
The money spent is quite worthwhile.
After reading the detailed background information of these three film companies, Chen Feng had a rough idea. None of these three companies can be considered large-scale film companies. One of them only invested 3 million, and the largest investment was only 3 million. It’s only 10 million, and the common feature of these three companies is that they are currently in a state of loss.
The largest film company currently has external debts of more than 10 million, including 6 million from the bank, and individuals from other units, including the arrears of wages to directors, actors and other film staff. million.
The specific reasons for the losses of the three companies are basically the same, that is, the failure of investment in film and television projects. In particular, the largest company invested in a costume drama adapted from a popular Tanmei novel last year. For this reason, they carefully selected two actors. The handsome man played the two male leads, signed them, and invested another 20 million in this project.
As a result, everything went wrong after the filming started. One of the beautiful boys who signed the contract had a car accident less than a month into the filming. He was injured on the face and needed to undergo cosmetic surgery. It would take at least two days to recover. Three months.
It is obviously not possible to replace him temporarily. It has been filming for almost a month, and if you want to find a handsome boy with passable acting skills, how can it be that easy?
So, we can only wait for the pretty boy to recover before filming his scenes.
In this way, more than two months later, the crew had almost finished filming other scenes, and finally waited until the pretty boy recovered and was discharged from the hospital to film his scenes. The shooting went relatively smoothly, and it took almost a month to finally complete it.
Then came the intensive post-production. The most sophisticated post-production team in the industry was invited to create it. It took nearly three months to finally complete this ambitious costume drama with excellent production.
Of course the next step was to submit the report for review, and then the bad luck began. I failed to pass the review several times. I made many changes as required, and even cut off many wonderful scenes and shots, but still failed. pass.
Everyone actually knows the reason, because this costume drama is actually about the love between men and women, which is obviously not recognized by the domestic mainstream. Even though friendship is used instead of love in the TV drama, some scenes and shots show that Still quite explicit.
In the end, although the company reluctantly cut off many more explicit and ambiguous clips and scenes, it still failed to pass the review.
What is even more tragic is that the above-mentioned restrictions on ancient costumes were issued at this time, further compressing the market for costume dramas.
This made the film company want to die. Their ambitious costume drama is still stuck in review.
This one project alone caused the film company to vomit blood, so much so that the company planned to package and sell it, including a debt of more than 10 million.
But no one is stupid. This hot potato was released two or three months ago, and no one is willing to take it.
However, of the three companies, Chen Feng was the most interested in this company. The reason is simple. This company is the largest, has the most mature internal organizational structure, and it also has contracts with several new-generation artists who look good.
Among them are the two pretty boys who are very promising. They each signed a five-year contract before filming "Heshan Order" invested by this company.
The background information of the investigation included detailed introductions and photos of these two handsome men. After Chen Feng saw them, even a man had to say that these two men were really beautiful.
No wonder this company was ambitious before and was bound to become famous through the "Heshan Order". As a result, it turned out that the review process was stuck. And because of insufficient funds, the company suddenly fell into trouble.
After reading the three detailed reports and making a comprehensive comparison, Chen Feng decided to contact this company first, Xinyao Film and Television Culture Company.
The headquarters of this company is in Xiuzhou. Wu Mengting immediately contacted the person in charge of the other party. When the other party heard that they were interested in acquiring their company, they immediately agreed to meet. He is at the company today and you can go and see him at any time. .
Chen Feng and Wu Mengting had nothing to do anyway, so they went directly to the location of the company, a mid- to low-end office building with an area of more than 100 square meters. It's hard to imagine that this film and television company, which invested 10 million yuan in capital and invested 20 million yuan in filming costume dramas, would have such a shabby office space.
When they came over, they saw a sublet advertising sign at the door. The two glass doors were open. After entering, there was no one at the front desk, and there was no one passing by the public office area.
Chen Feng shouted several times but no one answered. When he was about to ask Wu Mengting to contact the other party on his mobile phone, he saw a middle-aged man hurriedly coming out of the innermost room. His clothes were wrinkled and his hair was a little messy. , his face was gray and his expression didn't look good.
He is the boss of this company, Chen Xinyao. The name of the company is his name. He is a rich second generation. When he was young, he was star-chasing and liked TV and movies, so he invested in the establishment after he inherited the family business. He bought this film and television company, and he held 85% of the company's shares. The rest of the shares were generously distributed by him in order to attract talents when the company was first established.
The company has been established for nearly ten years, and has produced several popular film and television dramas before. It is not profitable, but it is not a loss either. But in the past two years, the company began to have bad luck, and its performance deteriorated year by year.
This made Chen Xinyao determined to do something big last year, and then directly killed himself.
The company now owes nearly 20 million in debt to outsiders. A few years ago, he had other businesses and family properties that would not have been unable to turn over money. But his other businesses were not doing well in the past two years. Not only did he make no money, but he lost a lot of money.
Under such internal and external difficulties, he had to sell Xinyao Film and Television. If someone was willing to pay 50 million, including nearly 20 million to repay debts, he would transfer the company.
