After dinner, Ran Feifei took Yu Feihong to go shopping, while Yang Dongxu went to Haina.
Haina's headquarters building is still under construction and is expected to be put into use in the first half of next year, that is, the first half of 2004. The specific day it will open to the public depends on the specific construction period, and you may have to choose a good day.
The headquarters building that Heiner is building is neither Big Pants nor Optimus Prime, so it is not a unique building. But it is definitely a landmark building because it has a total of seventy-eight floors.
Located in Chaoyang District, where the famous Chaoyang people were located in later generations, it is an absolute landmark building. In fact, when we first started collecting information on how to build the headquarters building.
Yang Dongxu was thinking about making the headquarters building as individual and fashionable as the Hurricane Architectural Headquarters. But after listening to the opinions of people below, compared to the too advanced hurricane building headquarters, skyscrapers are what everyone likes now.
What's more important is that if it were built like the Hurricane Building Headquarters, it would take up a lot of space. There are basically no such large plots of land in the city center.
But it would be too shabby if you built such a building in the suburbs, so in the end we decided to build it in the style of a skyscraper.
"Is the handover clear over there?" Yang Dongxu came to the company and walked into Liu Zongsheng's office area.
Currently, Haina has two locations, one of which is at Guomao. The other one is the special training class. The Guomao side basically focuses on music, and most of the people who come are big-name artists from the company. Newcomers are basically concentrated in the special training class.
"The handover has been completed, but the opinion from Xuri Technology is that several of them do not meet the requirements and are ready to be laid off." Liu Zongsheng said a little embarrassed.
After all, my big boss paid great attention to online music from the beginning, but he never got it right. Now it is packaged and handed over to Xuri Technology. As a result, they are very dissatisfied with the person in charge of this project.
"Now that the handover has been completed, the opinions of Rising Sun Technology shall prevail." Yang Dongxu said.
He doesn't think much of the company's recruitment and layoffs. After all, the company is not a charity hall where everyone who comes in has to be given a meal. Especially for a rapidly rising company like Xuri Technology, there are many people who can't keep up.
If you can still do some logistical chores, you can still keep your job. Otherwise, you will definitely be fired, let alone the company being unkind. It's a favor enough to give you three months' severance compensation.
Many companies will directly transfer you to an idle position, and then make all kinds of difficulties to make you resign voluntarily, instead of dismissing you without even giving compensation.
"The copyrights for movies, TV shows and songs must also be sorted out. At the same time, our company's legal preparations must be made. We will definitely be very busy by then."
The music website and video website Yang Dongxu was handed over to Qiu Bosong. Although he is definitely not familiar with online dramas and video websites.
However, you don’t need to be too familiar with it at the beginning, because the preliminary work is all technical input. For example, TV series, movies and music are available online. Then match the network player to improve the picture quality of movies and TV series, and adjust the sound quality of music.
These are all technical things, just leave them to the programmers. Therefore, although Qiu Bosong is not good at running video websites and music websites, he is good at managing programmers, and this is enough.
And just because he emphasized copyright, Yang Dongxu naturally wanted to make the right thing deeply rooted in people's hearts right from the start. Anyway, he didn't plan to charge at the beginning, and he even accepted losing money to make up for it.
Precisely because we plan to expand the market by losing money without charging any fees, we naturally cannot allow piracy to come in and mess up the market. Therefore, Yang Dongxu is prepared to treat every family as a family and shut down all those who dare to pirate his own products.
"This is not a big problem. The legal department is best at this." Liu Zongsheng said.
He is not worried at all about lawsuits over copyright disputes. After all, as the largest entertainment company, Heiner has never had a shortage of copyright disputes. The legal department is already well versed in taking charge of this matter.
"How are the preparations for the joint venture movie mentioned earlier?" Yang Dongxu asked.
Since we said we should give the higher-ups an attitude when making joint venture movies, we must do it. Yang Dongxu never discounts what he has said, although he is going to play some tricks here and change his left hand to his right hand.
"Three scripts have been selected, and TVB is also selecting them. But two months have passed since the second half of the year. Since it is a movie to express my position to the higher authorities. It cannot be completed in a hurry in a month or two, which makes people feel like they are coping.
So I discussed it with TVB and tried to make two or three films to be released before the year before. The rest will be left to next year. "
"It's up to you, I don't have any objections. How about those students in the special training class?"
"The situation couldn't be better." Liu Zongsheng said with a smile on his face: "As expected of being picked by the boss, there are really many good talents among our first batch of special training class students.
And there are a few who are particularly able to endure hardships, and their acting skills are always improving. Some have already begun to take on important roles. If nothing else, next year we will be able to bring out a few stars who can challenge the first-tier level. Others can also be cultivated one after another. "
Liu Zongsheng who spoke was flattering.
"Then train them well and don't be afraid of spending resources. Anyway, the contracts we sign are all option-based. If they become popular, the company will gain the most, but keep a close eye on their private lives and don't cause any trouble."
Naturally, I feel reassured about the person I selected, Yang Dongxu, who is more than just a front-line challenge. The people he personally selected are all top-tier, as expected, and they are all super popular top-tiers. Although none of them reached the heights of Uranus in the end.
But no one else in the entertainment industry of later generations can achieve it. After all, today's entertainment industry is different from that of the 1980s and 1990s. Even if he is a super popular star, even if he is the super box office champion Wu Jing, compared to Alan Tam in the 1980s and 1990s, a superstar like Leslie Cheung always feels a little inferior.
In short, times have changed, and even if you stand in the same place in the end, the praise you receive and the scenery you see are different.
"There are indeed a few restless people in their private lives." Liu Zongsheng frowned when talking about the private lives of students in the special training class.
"Oh?" Yang Dongxu looked at Liu Zongsheng.
"The male actors are all young people, and their relationships are still under control for the time being. But there are a few female stars who have close contacts with some wealthy businessmen, which is a bit difficult to deal with." Liu Zongsheng said.
Yang Dongxu's brows raised. In fact, if it stands to reason that no matter whether it is an actor or an actress, the threat of falling in love is the same.
The reason why Liu Zongsheng separated the two is naturally because whether the actor likes an ordinary person or a small model. Even if the news is exposed, Haina Company's energy can suppress it and it is within the controllable range.
But it's different when a female star is tied to a wealthy businessman. Today's wealthy businessmen basically have money in their hands and someone behind them. Hainer is awesome, but no matter how awesome you are, can you teach a wealthy businessman who picks up female celebrities a lesson?
Yang Dongxu frowned and pondered for a moment, then shook his head: "Forget it, you have to use your own discretion. If someone really ties up a wealthy businessman and is willing to pay the liquidated damages, then we can get together and part ways.
Anyway, training them is for the company to make money, it is just an early harvest and a long-term investment. As for those who don't have the ability to play with fire, but insist on playing with fire, it will bring negative consequences to the company. Find the ones that dance the most and block them directly. "
Although Yang Dongxu doesn't understand the unspoken rules in this kind of circle, you have to say that this is the norm. Whether it's an actor or actress eating with investors, everyone is used to fawning over producers.
Haina has given these people enough shelter, but they insist on climbing up in this way, and they feel that they can climb faster this way. Then you will have to bear the consequences of your choice.
So Yang Dongxu also figured out that if these people are really capable, they can tie up a rich woman or a wealthy businessman, and either the rich woman or the wealthy businessman will pay them liquidated damages. Or simply wealthy businessmen or wealthy women invest in them.
He didn't have any objection. Anyway, it was just business, hello, me, hello, everyone. Yang Dongxu also understood the principle of being like the light and the dust. But he didn't have the ability to be played and kicked away. More importantly, Heiner suffered losses due to the exposure. Then Yang Dongxu doesn't mind killing two chickens and showing them to others.
As for whether this is adding insult to injury... Yang Dongxu would give two words to people who think like this... Haha...
"One more thing. Recently, the security department below reported that there seem to be some unclean people who frequently come into contact with our artists.
It’s easy for old artists to say that it’s not surprising that they have come through many hardships and know how to deal with it. Self-control is also good. But some of those newcomers don't have that much self-control. "
"Huh?" Yang Dongxu narrowed his eyes.
The unclean people in this circle are specifically designated by some people. For example, those who pimp, those who defraud money and sex, and even more seriously, those who lure artists into corruption, such as taking drugs!
This is not a matter of artists talking about love with rich women or wealthy businessmen. To put it bluntly, being supported by a rich woman and a wealthy businessman is just to make money.
But if you mess with these unclean people, they will crawl on you and suck your blood. What's more important is that these people put their hands into Haina's bowl and want to turn the money tree cultivated by Haina into their own. This is undoubtedly a problem that touches the bottom line.
Yang Dongxu can choose to turn a blind eye to those so-called love transactions. After all, he has seen through this circle over the years. Besides, he and Chen Hong also have a close relationship, so the eldest brother does not talk about the second brother.
But if someone puts a spoon into his pot to fish out the meat and eat it, more importantly, it is a manure spoon. Not only does it fish out the meat, it is also disgusting. It is absolutely intolerable.
"Do you know who the other party is?" Yang Dongxu asked with a gloomy expression.
"I have asked the people below to keep an eye on it. There is no specific news yet. However, some young masters are involved. It will be troublesome if we really take action." This is undoubtedly Liu Zongsheng who took this matter out to talk to Yang Dongxu alone. The reason for talking about it.
