In the past, Han Chudong was the "gang leader" of this small circle.
The funny Red-Eyed White Dragon Bloodthirsty Gang has long become a thing of the past. It took Zhou Nan several months to change his way of addressing him and stop calling him the gang leader. He began to call him Brother Xiaodong.
From this we can see that he is the backbone of the small team.
In addition, the industry is so big now, and Zhou Nan and Zhao Dajun have both made a fortune with Han Chudong, so of course they would not have any complaints after hearing this. They both believe that Han Chudong can do his best.
So the destination of this trip was immediately changed to the headhunting company we had been cooperating with.
When I set out, I just called to let them know that I would be there in 20 minutes. There was no need to ask whether the other party had finished get off work or to make another appointment.
From last year to now, the headhunting company has earned three or four hundred thousand US dollars from Han Chudong. If he wants to go for an interview, they have time.
When we arrived at the office building near Echo Park, the general manager of the headhunting company was already standing at the door waiting. He personally directed the car to stop and then jogged a few steps to help open the door.
With a smile on his face, he said to Han Chudong: "My name is Bancroft. I talked to you on the phone before. Do you still remember me?"
This name is relatively rare. Han Chudong suddenly realized it and said with a smile, "You are in charge of the campus recruitment this time, right? Thank you very much, Bancroft. You have found many energetic young people for me. Maybe we can continue this cooperation next year."
"There's no need to wait until next year. It's easier to find graduates from top universities during the fall recruitment in the second half of this year. With your current fame, even I want to switch to work in your company, I mean as a manager in the human resources department, not to mention the students in the school."
Han Chudong found Bancroft's words interesting. He smiled and replied, "If you really want to come, I just happen to be in need of senior executives who are proficient in talent management. As you know, I have recruited a lot of new people recently and it is difficult to manage them. Remember to give me a copy of your resume when you have time."
"Haha! Let's talk about this later. Mr. Han, are you here today to deal with some difficult executive? Even if it's a piece of stone, I will definitely help you dig it out!"
Bancroft really wanted to change jobs, but now the commission of this job has been cut by half, which makes him feel that there is no future.
As the opportunity came, she couldn't wait to flirt with Han Chudong. As an executive of a headhunting company, she actually helped herself to find a new employer. The reason why she chose Mason United Group was, of course, because she felt it had great development prospects.
"You can just call me Mason. I'm planning to make a movie with my friends soon and set up a film company in Hollywood. However, we don't know anything, so we plan to find some executives or consultants who are proficient in the film business to help us."
"So that's how it is. Come upstairs to my office for a cup of tea? I'll help you find some information. The executives or former executives of medium and large film companies should meet your needs. Our company has a lot of such talent information, which can fill five cartons. I will personally help you select the best industry elites. There will be no problem..."
I couldn't help laughing.
Instead of finding the talent he really needed, he met a human resources executive who recommended himself. Han Chudong admired Bancroft's shamelessness.
Being able to hold the position of general manager in this headhunting company is already a proof of one's ability. If there are no problems with his life and work style, I wouldn't mind giving him a job.
It is easy to find grassroots employees, and as long as they are given sufficient salary incentives, outstanding management talents can also be found.
I didn't take it seriously and went upstairs to the other party's office to rest.
…
It was a little after eight o'clock that evening.
Han Chudong met a producer from MGM and two producers who had worked at Warner Bros. and Paramount Pictures respectively.
The so-called producer's main job is to be fully responsible for script coordination, pre-production preparation, forming a film crew, filming cost accounting, financial auditing, as well as executing shooting production and post-production distribution. The nature of the job is very consistent with their current needs.
Since they were willing to come here immediately after receiving the call from the headhunting company, it meant that they all wanted to change jobs or find a new job. It depends on whether Han Chudong can offer conditions that satisfy them.
Of course, it also depends on whether Han Chudong is willing to hire them.
The meeting place was arranged in Mr. Bancroft's office. Han Chudong had already drunk enough tea while waiting. At this moment, he said:
"Maybe you've heard of me from Universal Pictures, and I know some people out there think I'm stupid for letting Universal Pictures make tens of millions of dollars out of me with the Jaws movie.
To be honest, I don't care about that little money at all. Since I think the script is interesting, I am willing to invest. Next, I will cooperate with these two friends to set up a film company, prepare the script first, and invest in one or two films ourselves. We need experienced producers to assist us, which is why I called you here today."
All three work in the film and television industry.
The oldest one is in his forties and the youngest is thirty-seven years old. They are all white.
There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!
Now look at each other.
When they received the notice, they had already heard about the base salary of US$200,000 plus bonuses and commissions, and they all thought it might be an opportunity.
The period of shooting a movie can be long or short. On average, it takes large film companies about two and a half years, including more than half a year to establish the project, write and revise the script, and half a year to prepare for the shooting. The actual shooting time averages about three months, and post-production also takes more than half a year.
Small and medium-sized film companies are actually more efficient, and there are examples of them completing the process from preparation to release in just half a year.
Although they haven't seen the script yet, they can get paid $200,000 for organizing the filming of a movie. This high income is enough to make them excited.
Several of the people present here are not shareholders of the company. Two of them are independent producers, similar to directors. Some film companies will find them to help prepare and shoot a certain movie.
Among them is a man named Berg, who once planned "West Side Story" but was later replaced. His latest film is called "Hijacking", which is only slightly famous in the circle. The audience only cares about who the director and actors are.
Berg then asked, "I want to know what type of movie you are going to make and how much investment you are expecting? This is related to what kind of director and what level of star you can invite."
“Two movies, at least $10 million, maybe more. One of them is similar to Breakfast at Tiffany’s, but it’s about women in the workplace, and it’s an advertisement for my luxury goods and beauty companies.
The other one... I can only tell you that it's an action-packed disaster film about a disease sweeping the world. First, gain some experience, and then shoot and invest in more movies in the future. Maybe during this period, we'll also start the third and fourth projects. In short, if you do your job well, you won't lack opportunities to make money."
After Han Chudong finished speaking, he turned his head to Zhou Nan and Zhao Dajun and explained, "Don't worry, they will still pay advertising fees for customizing the movie for my company, and they will definitely not let you two suffer any loss..."
