Chapter 275: Wherever we meet in life
“You are really a noble person who forgets things. We met at the beginning of the year and we had a very happy conversation.”
The woman smiled , with a cheerful tone.
Chen Feng was stunned for a moment. After thinking for a long time, he suddenly had an idea and asked immediately: "Are you Lu Sijia?"
Lu Sijia was when he returned to Lushi from Guangcheng at the beginning of the year. We met at the airport. Because they were from the same hometown and were on the same flight, the two chatted a lot along the way. After arriving in Lushi, they even added each other as WeChat friends, but they never contacted each other afterwards.
In my memory, this Lu Sijia seemed to be the boss of an entertainment company, but I didn't expect it to be such a coincidence that Zhao Guoqing introduced her through an intermediary.
It can only be said that we meet each other everywhere in life.
"Haha, you finally remember my name, otherwise I would be very sad." Lu Sijia said with a smile, "But since you have found me, don't you still know my name?"
Chen Feng explained with some embarrassment: “I contacted him through others. I contacted people who know you, and I transferred two people. I only know that your surname is Lu, and you are the boss of a film and television production company. You have just resigned. As for your full name, and what your previous company was, I haven’t found out yet. However, it seems that your previous company was called Purple Vine. Wasn’t it founded by you? Why don’t you quit?”
After hearing Chen Feng’s explanation, Lu Sijia finally understood. She had a good impression of Chen Feng, and since she was a fellow villager, she didn’t deliberately hide her affairs. She was very direct. Said: "Although I founded Zijin Teng, I actually occupied The shares were not very large, because I had little capital at the time, only 18% of the company's shares, and there were three other shareholders, two of whom accounted for 70% of the shares. I had big differences with the two major shareholders on the company's development direction. , and finally had to resign and leave.”
"Oh, can you tell me what the main differences are?" Chen Feng asked with some interest.
Lu Sijia said frankly: "The main thing is the differences in the development of TV series and movies, and the differences in the choice of film and television IP. I am more optimistic about the future development of domestic TV series, and they are more optimistic about movies and IP. In terms of selection, although we all know that popular online novels are best adapted, I prefer original scripts with better cost performance. In addition, there are some personal reasons that I won’t tell you.”
"Then you come to our Fengmang Film and Television to be the general manager." Chen Feng said very directly, "I sincerely invite you. The monthly salary is tentatively set at 50,000 yuan. There will be a 1% dividend in the first year. It will increase by 1% year by year until it reaches 10%. There will be other performance bonuses at the end of the year depending on the situation."
Lu Sijia smiled and said: "You are so sincere It’s not enough. I used to have an annual salary of 800,000 yuan in my own company, and I also got additional project commissions.”
Chen Feng also said with a smile: “Then I will give you a similar treatment, but. The stock dividends are gone.”
"Then I still want stock dividends. But the starting point of 1% is too low. It must be at least 5%. If it works, I will be interested in working for you."
Chen Feng thought for a while, Lu Sijia's previous Since the company can successfully produce a popular movie like "The Dream of Immortality", TV drama, plus Zhao Guoqing introduced her through a reliable intermediary this time, so there is definitely no problem with her work ability. In addition, we had a great chat with her on the plane last time, and we both have a good impression of each other. Moreover, he was a fellow from Lu City, so Chen Feng no longer hesitated.
"Okay! Then as you said, you will sign the contract and take office tomorrow, how about it?"
"Ah, you really agreed?" Lu Sijia looked a little surprised .
"What else? I know you are a talent. What is rare is that we have known each other before and we are fellow Lushi. You can report here tomorrow."
"This... can you wait a few days? I have just returned to my hometown and want to take a good rest." Lu Sijia said reluctantly.
"You have to keep your word. I have given you such good conditions, and our company has already opened. We can't do it without a general manager like you."
"Don't you still have your boss? Boss, can you give me another week? If I want to come to work in your company, I must first settle the matter with Purple Vine."
"One week is too long, let's give it three days. I will give you three days at most, otherwise it will be difficult to carry out some of my business."
"...Okay then. Three It only lasts three days. I’ll report to you after I’ve settled the affairs with Zijinteng. We seemed to have added WeChat before. Don’t tell me that I’ve been deleted. The company’s specific address will be sent to me later.”< br>
"Of course I haven't deleted it. I'll just send you the location later."
"Okay."
"Then it's settled, three days at most. After three days I hope I can see you.”
“Of course, I will do what I said.”
The two made an agreement and didn’t talk much. After hanging up the phone, seeing several people next to him looking at him curiously, Chen Feng had no choice but to explain a little.
Zhao Guoqing sighed: "What a coincidence. It seems that God has destined her to come to Fengmang Film and Television to be the general manager. There is no doubt about Mr. Lu's work ability. She was the one who made the hit movie "Xianyuanmeng" A project led by , who made Zhang Jingwen famous in one hand, and has a good reputation in the circle."
Wu Mengting glanced at Chen Feng with some scrutiny, and saw that he looked back at her calmly. Not much was said.
The candidate for the general manager has been officially determined, and there is no need to worry about candidates for other positions that are still vacant.
At the company meeting on Monday, all the company personnel attended, including the five artists who had previously signed with Xinyao Film and Television. Before, the five of them were basically fending for themselves. The oldest female artist was pretty good, and she also had a personal assistant by her side.
The remaining four young contracted artists don’t even have assistants. They can only find jobs on their own, but they have no connections and no managers to connect them. Of course, they can’t find any paid jobs. , they can only work part-time, and the company has already owed them two or three months of wages. Life is really miserable, especially for the two young female artists. They can hardly afford to pay the rent, and their families are desperately trying to pay them. Marriage made them all collapse.
Fortunately, when they couldn't help but compromise with their families, Xinyao Film and Television changed hands, and they became contracted artists of Fengmang Film and Television. The arrears of wages finally arrived, which gave them a breath of relief. This time they were notified to come to the new company. In addition to meeting the new boss and new colleagues, they also had to sign a supplementary contract with Fengmang Film and Television.
However, although the five of them are now considered members of Fengmang Film and Television, they are obviously very different from the employees who have just been recruited.
At the company meeting, the five of them just introduced themselves briefly like everyone else, and did not speak anymore, and there was no need for them to speak. The oldest actress is called Wang Shujuan. She is in her early thirties. She is not very beautiful, but she is also attractive. She has the charm of a young woman. More importantly, she has good acting skills. She is currently the best among the five artists in the company. Yes, she has the highest celebrity status. She has participated in many film and television dramas, and she is an actress who looks familiar to the audience at first glance.
Her current contract with the company has been less than a year. Before, she mainly relied on her own projects to support herself. Xinyao Film and Television has basically not given her much in the past two years. help.
Currently, she is the one most likely to terminate her contract with Fengmang Film and Television.
The other two female artists, the older one, 25 years old, named Jiang Shumin, graduated from the Shanghai Academy of Drama. She had previously starred in an online drama produced by Xinyao Film and Television, and became a small hit on the Internet. A handful. In addition, she has played minor supporting roles in some other TV series for the fourth female lead, which is purely a soy sauce role.
In addition to these, she is also the second female lead in "Heshan Order".
The younger one is 23 years old, her name is Luo Yingying. She just graduated from Beijing Film Academy for a year. Before she graduated, she was signed by Xinyao Film and Television, and she immediately starred in a film by Xinyao Film and Television. A big online movie and a TV series, the kind that appeared on TV, became popular for a while, but then disappeared, and they didn't even get a soy sauce role.
Of course, except for the leading female role in "Heshan Order", but now "Heshan Order" has not passed the review, and its release is far away.
In fact, her and Jiang Shumin's scenes in the male-male drama "Heshan Order" were not much, and they were just embellishments at most.
The biggest characteristics of these two female artists are their good looks, internet-famous faces, and their excellent acting skills.
Both of them had signed five-year long-term contracts with Xinyao Film and Television. Jiang Shumin was a little better, with almost three years left on the contract, but Luo Yingying still had four years left.
And their respective liquidated damages were very high, which shows that Xinyao Film and Television was very optimistic about them.
As for the two male artists, they are two handsome boys. The older one is only twenty-three years old. His name is Zhang Hang. He is a male model. The younger one is twenty-two years old. Gong Yi is Xiu. I graduated from the acting department of the State Academy of Arts. I was signed right after graduation, and then I filmed "Heshan Order".
After that, the contracting company went bankrupt and was resold.
Both of them had signed a five-year long-term contract with Xinyao Film and Television, and less than a year has passed. What’s more important is that the liquidated damages are ridiculously high.
Now they can only pray that Fengyang Film and Television can be more reliable and have stronger capital than Xinyao Film and Television.
Unfortunately, the results they have found out in the past few days are not very optimistic, because Chen Feng is completely self-employed, and they don’t know how much money he personally has, but at least Chen Feng was not well-known before, and he was completely in the film industry. Rookie.
After the company meeting, the five of them were left behind, along with Zhao Guoqing, Sun Wu, and Hu Rui.
After Chen Feng persuaded her to stay, Hu Rui offered her a high salary and made her the manager of the artist department, fully responsible for the management and promotion of the company's artists. It can be said that she was entrusted with an important task. In contrast, she was working at Star Media. If you are not satisfied, it is of course clear at a glance what to choose.
“Although we, Fengmang Film and Television, are a new company, we cannot be considered a rookie in the film industry. We have Zhao Guoqing, a veteran film worker in the industry, as a company consultant. For more than ten years, I have deep connections in the industry, know many people, and have rich industry experience. If you have any questions in the future, you can contact Mr. Zhao. Inquiry.
The manager of our artist department, Manager Hu Ruihu, has been engaged in brokerage for more than ten years. She started as a small assistant and has been studying with Sister Hua of Star Media. Sister Hua is her My master, we have a very good relationship. You will all be under her control from now on, and she will coordinate and arrange your future work and related promotion activities.
In addition, I want to announce that the general manager of our company will be Ms. Lu Sijia, the former general manager of Zijinteng Culture Media. She will take over in a few days after she has settled her personal affairs. She was the star of the hit TV series "Xianyuan". The producer of "The Dream", it can be said that "The Dream of Immortality" was planned and created by her. She is very familiar with film and television production and company management. I believe that in the future the company will benefit from her Under management, it will prosper and produce popular film and television dramas similar to "A Dream of Immortality" or even better."
Chen Feng's words are quite encouraging, even for someone like Wang Shujuan." "Old artist" also had some thoughts when she heard that. Originally, she really planned to leave when the contract expired, but now that she has a new owner, she has to think about it more.
"We have now equipped you with new agents, work assistants, life assistants, makeup artists, stylists, etc., and we will also increase your monthly salary. I believe that the investment in you now is worth it. , we will achieve win-win results for each other in the future. In short, we will figure it out. Fa Penghong, including you, Sister Wang, if you can give our company a little more time, I believe you will not regret it."
After Chen Feng said these words, the next step is to hand over. For Hu Rui, the manager of the artist department, it was to sign a new contract with Fengmang Film and Television.
Of course it would be better if the contract period is longer.
Hu Rui issued a new contract to each of them. Although the salary of Wang Shujuan's new contract was increased, the term was also extended to three years. Wang Shujuan immediately expressed her objection and directly bargained with Hu Rui. , and finally said that after the original contract expires, under the same conditions, Fengmang Film and Television will have priority to renew her contract.
This is almost equivalent to saying that it does not intend to directly renew the contract with Fengmang Film and Television, let alone extend the contract period.
In this regard, Hu Rui couldn't make a decision, and finally looked at the boss Chen Feng.
Chen Feng waved his hand angrily and said, "Okay, just do as Sister Wang wants. However, I hope Sister Wang can understand that within the contract period of less than one year, our company I can’t flatter you, I hope you understand.”
Wang Shujuan was stunned for a while, then she gritted her teeth and nodded secretly: "Of course, I understand."
"That's good, then according to the previous contract with Xinyao Film and Television, re-sign with our Fengmang Film and Television."
The meaning in these words The meaning was very clear. The previously improved benefits in the new contract were gone. Hu Rui understood instantly and immediately asked his subordinates to reprint a new contract.
Wang Shujuan secretly criticized Chen Feng for being stingy, but of course it was hard to say anything.
As for the remaining four artists, you look at me and I look at you. They didn’t dare to say or ask more questions. They all looked like good babies.
