Chapter 369 For Work

The reason why Su Yun delayed the release of the incentive plan until this time and placed it in front of Zhao Rifu with hope was to wait for the right time.

Starting with the industrial transformation, Zhao Rifu’s focus was shifted away from the profit-making method of film and television production. After the main profit-making focus shifted, the “Talent Base” plan was launched to catalyze Zhao Rifu, so that Zhao Rifu could see that this would unconsciously promote the integration of the Hong Kong entertainment industry, and Zhao’s future leadership position dominated by the Talent Base would then propose to improve the treatment of the most important “talent resources” under his opponents…

Although the rule in the capital circle is "things are Rome, people are cattle and horses", if the importance of talent resources is raised, and the two points of reducing internal friction and opening up new sources of income are added, it will probably be much easier to open up.

And the most important thing is that, in many cases, no matter how good or great a conscientious plan is, it cannot compare to the ties of blood and interests.

Zhao Rifu has long considered retiring, but he has insisted on not stepping down not only because he still loves the film and television industry, but also for a very important reason, which is to help the younger generation to maintain their position and prevent Su Yun and others from being suppressed by the old shareholders who rely on their seniority and qualifications.

This is an unavoidable problem: the concept of seniority and hierarchy, which has been passed down from ancient times, is still prevalent in modern society.

The advantage of such a distinction between the old and the young is that it can achieve a situation where the elders lead the younger ones and avoid repeating the same mistakes, allowing the younger generations who are confused about the future to take the right path; but if the elders have impure thoughts, they will immediately transform from guides into the most difficult mountain to overcome, hindering the progress of the younger generations.

If there had not been the unexpected quarrel between the brothers, Zhao Liying, the nephew personally brought up by Zhao Rifu, would have been the best successor to the Zhao family in Hong Kong.

Unfortunately, after this accident, even if Zhao Rifu still prefers Zhao Liying to take over as the leader, many people in the company may feel dissatisfied.

The second is Su Yun - but she is too young, and is in charge of production. If she is transferred back to manage administration, the production department will lose a key member. At that time, the benefits that can be obtained will naturally be reduced accordingly.

What's more, with Su Yun's appearance and ability, she is more suitable for both front-stage and production.

As for Zhao Rifu's two biological sons, the eldest, Zhao Qiming, has not paid much attention to inheriting the family business. Since Su Yun proposed the industrial transformation, he has been busy with other industries for at least 20 days a month. It seems that he has already decided to give up inheriting the family business to pursue his dream...

Zhao Lizhong looks older than Su Yun, but is actually more "ignorant" than Su Yun. He simply cannot handle the big occasion and can only be a deputy. So, after layers of consideration, Zhao Rifu can only continue the way he and his brothers worked together to do business. Let Zhao Liming, who intends to venture out, open up new horizons, while Zhao Liying and Zhao Lizhong stay in the base camp, and the most unique Su Yun takes the most important production path of the Zhao family.

For a career-minded person like Su Yun who is not interested in money or sex and is only focused on creation, there is basically no need to worry that she will do something like the second brother Zhao who stabbed his own people in the back and cheated her brothers like the accident that year.

"But how can you convince them that your incentive plan will definitely be profitable?" Zhao Rifu looked over again, as if he was going to test Su Yun.

Su Yunchong's cousin Zhao Liying gave a wink, and Zhao Liying picked up the briefcase at hand, opened it, took out several pure English document reports and placed them on the table.

"This is the data of the movie 'Terminator' which was released in North America at the end of October last year. The investment was 6.4 million US dollars and the total box office was 78.37 million US dollars..." Su Yun turned to the top and most recent document report, and then introduced her own "successful investment" cases one by one. Whether it was her vision for movies or the rate of return on investment, they were all very impressive results.

Zhao Rifu silently looked at the document report at the top, and seemed to vaguely recall the past when several of his big investments failed one after another...

However, Su Yun had a keen eye and would buy "unpopular" movies from time to time, which eventually became huge box office hits. Except for those art films that were originally made for award-winning films and did not care about the box office, she had basically never failed in any commercial film she set her sights on.

If it were someone else, they would definitely take note of this kind of comparison and showing off; but Su Yun happened to be one of us - so the opinions and evaluations were completely different.

After receiving Zhao Rifu's affirmation, Su Yun finally swung his hands in a somewhat unconcerned manner: "We have a big family and a big business, we can afford this gamble. If it doesn't work out, we can close this department with just a word."

"But if this gamble is successful, the Hong Kong film and television industry will really change in the future."

In recent years, Zhao Rifu's overseas box office performance has been basically good because of her, but the local box office performance is still not able to turn around. It was suppressed by Jiahe in the front and Zhenyicheng in the back. It can only rely on the foundation accumulated in the past to barely maintain its position as the leader of the local film industry. Zhao Rifu, who was once the overlord of an era, must still be more or less unwilling.

But if Su Yun's plan can really be implemented step by step, Jiahe and Zhen Yicheng, who each ruled an era, will eventually "convert" to the Zhao family: In this way, after many twists and turns, the Zhao family's position as overlord will be truly secured.

After Zhao Rifu expressed his support for Su Yun's plan, a storm arose from top to bottom within the Zhao family's senior management in the following days.

The people at the top were arguing fiercely, but the people below were jubilant: it was obvious that if the incentive plan proposed this time was successful, the treatment of all of them would increase by a leap level.

Although you still have to work harder to earn more money, the wages outside are always higher, and you can keep your job as a formal employee in the company. Who wouldn’t be happy with this, as you can earn money and have a guaranteed bottom line?

For a time, the atmosphere within Zhao and TBB was both harmonious and cold: harmonious in that some people knew they had to build good interpersonal relationships before they could get outside work, and everyone was sweet and smiling; and cold in that although there were more ways to make money, everyone still had a competitive relationship as before, and those small groups that formed cliques for the sake of their future continued to exist.

However, considering that there are still many black-hearted old guys in the top management who don't want to share power, even if there is internal competition and black-faced people below, they will try their best to control themselves, their subordinates and opponents, and not show their black faces so as not to give these black-hearted people an excuse to veto the opportunity and situation that Su Yun has strived for a long time to achieve.

Thanks to this second round of the "welfare for employees" plan, Su Yun and the three Zhao brothers' popularity in the company has been further improved.

Once people get excited, they tend to get carried away with their work. Faced with a good boss like Su Yun who quarrels with old shareholders again and again just to seek benefits for employees, whether one can see the inside story or not, one has to appreciate her thoughts and kindness.

Even Li Xuexiang, who roughly guessed the reason after careful thought, also found an opportunity to express his sincere gratitude to Su Yun: No matter what the starting point is, as long as Su Yun can complete this plan, it will bring tangible benefits to all Zhao's employees.

Those artists who have a lot of money and come here just for fun and to make money are still a minority these days.

Most people work for the Zhao family just to have enough food to eat and a roof over their heads, so as not to become unemployed vagrants.

In this way, Su Yun's sincere efforts to do practical things and seek benefits for his subordinates are not only worthy of verbal gratitude, but also worthy of practical rewards.

After all, the birth of a movie is often not just a "commodity" used to gain profits and fame, but the painstaking joint creation of everyone in the entire crew - on this basis, when it comes to the path of filmmaking, many people have more or less the courage to generate energy out of love and then put their heart and soul into it.

Therefore, relying on the courage of the entire crew and the good condition of the main characters such as Su Yun and Zhuang Long, in early March, "Grave Robbers 2" officially completed the filming of the last scene commonly known as the "final scene".

The only thing that makes people unhappy is that no matter how hard and tiring the work is, it is still time-consuming to fight for interests and power.

After the final scene was filmed, Su Yun discussed the subsequent high-level negotiations with her brothers and sisters, and contacted Xu Anxia, ​​with whom she had worked before.

She will be flying abroad in a while to shoot Batman, which has already been prepared, so she will not be able to personally work on the award-winning art film Ladder of Love.

Of course, Su Yun did not plan to shoot the film herself at the beginning, but was a nominal producer to provide guidance on the general direction: her strength was not in this area. The previous success of "The Rooftop Post" was largely due to the cooperation of various factors and the special advantages of Kowloon Walled City.

Moreover, although the boss is just one of the bosses, he does not need to do everything himself. Instead, he should let go when it is time to let go - especially someone like Su Yun who is very good at "laziness" is born with this trait.

So she chose Xu Anxia, ​​a rare female director in the industry with whom she had worked before and who she knew was good at delicate and profound style.

When I first worked with Xu Anxia, ​​she had a good grasp of the emotions that the characters in the script needed to express. While people can feel the sensibility of the film's plot, they can also savor the profound meaning hidden in the quiet plot, especially the warmth of humanistic care that comes from the bottom of their hearts, which is most suitable for the telling of the story of "Ladder of Love".

"Are you watching the stuff about 'Ladder of Love' again?" In the light of the night, a pair of hands suddenly reached out from behind.

Along with the slow and hoarse voice and the hands wrapped around the waist comes the familiar, clean and neat yet warm woody floral scent.

He usually likes to use the high-end models of this brand, which are calm, intellectual and have a bit of fruity fragrance. When he rests on his chest, he can feel a unique warmth and tranquility.

Seeing him naturally and conveniently shuffle the papers on the table to cover Zhang Querong's file photo, Su Yun was really angry and amused: "Don't be so jealous, okay? I came to him purely for work this time."

"I signed a contract with you for a series of four films." Zhuang Long said softly.

"Of course I know this, but -" Su Yun turned her head to look at his perfect profile under the light, and couldn't help but take a photo of him, "I went to the capital this time, but I got the news that the movie "The Last Emperor" is looking for a male lead actor."
