Reborn as a tycoon in Hong Kong

Lin Baicheng didn't think about it for too long. He made his decision that day and called Isabella the next day.

"Bella, I'm going to enter Hollywood and set up a film company."

Lin Baicheng, who had originally intended to set up a film company in Hollywood, felt that instead of entering other industries, it would be better to enter Hollywood now. It just so happens that there is Star Pictures in Xiangjiang, and the companies on both sides may be able to complement each other.

Although I don’t know if I will be able to control the eight major Hollywood film companies in the future, making movies is still very profitable, so I will start by setting up a film company first.

"So, Boss, are you planning to acquire a film company?"

Isabella asked aloud. She knew that her boss had established a film company in Xiangjiang, and there was also a TV station in Xiangjiang. It seemed that the boss had a special liking for the media industry.

"Roughly the same."

Lin Baicheng said: "Since I have decided to enter Hollywood, I am not going to do it in a small way. Therefore, film companies must be acquired. Acquisition is a way to develop rapidly, but I am not asking you to acquire film companies now. Instead, I want you to acquire film companies first." Find a great talent.”

"You first go to a headhunting company and ask the headhunting company to find a suitable head of the film company for me. The acquisition of the film company will be left to the future head. It will be a test for this person."

"I'll contact the headhunting company shortly."

Isabella responded, she roughly understood what her boss was thinking.

For film companies in Hollywood, although Lin Baicheng will review films with large investments to avoid making big bad movies and losing money, it is still very important to have a talent who is familiar with various industries in Hollywood and has excellent management. After all, Lin Baicheng cannot manage all the time. movie company.

Therefore, finding suitable management talents is more important than acquiring a film company, as it is related to the development of the film company.

Within two days, Isabella handed over the list sent by the headhunting company to Lin Baicheng. There are many candidates who are suitable for the president of a new film company. These candidates are all likely to be poached. Whether they can be successful depends on the help of a headhunting company to make connections.

"Um?"

In this list, Lin Baicheng quickly saw a familiar name, and then looked at this person's resume seriously.

Lin Baicheng, who wrote about Hong Kong entertainment in the 1980s, is also very familiar with the Hollywood entertainment industry in the 1980s and 1990s. Although he is familiar with most of the movie names, actors and actresses, directors and screenwriters, etc., the man behind the well-known Hollywood film company He also knows a few disciples.

Michael Eisner, the Disney Emperor in the 1980s and 1990s, developed Disney from a company with a market value of 2 billion US dollars into an entertainment empire with a market value of 40 billion US dollars, which shows his ability.

Of course, Michael Eisner has his share of criticisms. First of all, he is an individualist, and many business decisions are based on his personal preferences. Otherwise, he would not be called a "tyrant".

In addition, Michael Eisner also intends to kick the Disney family out of Walt Disney and become the real controller of the Disney entertainment empire.

Today, Michael Eisner works at Paramount, working under Barry Diller, assisting him in managing Paramount.

"Barry Diller!"

When he saw Barry Diller's name, Lin Baicheng couldn't help but shook his head. Barry Diller is also very capable. Unfortunately, Barry Diller is now the chairman of Paramount. It is impossible for him to recruit Barry Diller.

You know, it's impossible for Barry Diller to stop being chairman of Paramount and become president of a new company.

"Another one?"

After a while, Lin Baicheng saw a familiar name again, but this time it was a female.

The workplace in the United States is sexist, and Hollywood is even more so. Therefore, Lin Baicheng, the future female head of the seven major Hollywood film companies, can be said to be deeply impressed, and it is difficult to remember it.

The resume above tells Lin Baicheng that he must have recognized the right person. He holds a high position in a Hollywood film company, he is a woman, and he has the same name. This kind of coincidence is almost impossible to happen.

Shirley Lansing entered Hollywood in 1970, but she started out as an actress. Unfortunately, she only played small roles. She left the entertainment industry in 1974, joined a subsidiary of Columbia Pictures, and developed into a film producer. .

Because several of the films he produced were profitable, and his ability was outstanding, he soon became the director of the company's business development department, and was appointed the company's vice president last year, mainly responsible for the company's film production and distribution.

Shirley Lansing is a woman. She has only been officially working in production for a few years. She was appointed vice president in just a few years, which shows her ability. Without extraordinary ability, it is impossible to be appointed to the position of vice president.

Lin Baicheng continued to look down, but he didn't see any familiar names after that.

"Bella, ask the headhunting company to contact these two people as soon as possible. I want to talk to them personally."

Lin Baicheng handed the list to Isabella. He had already marked the names of Michael Eisner and Shirley Lansing. Since these two people can become the heads of the seven major Hollywood film studios in the future, it is enough to illustrate their future abilities. Now they both hold high positions and are fully qualified to be the heads of a newly established film company.

What Lin Baicheng has to worry about now is whether Michael Eisner and Shirley Lansing are willing to leave the company where they are currently working and join a newly established film company. After all, they are all qualified for important positions now and have a promising future. It is normal for them to want to continue step by step.

Of the two, Michael Eisner had a big problem, but Lin Baicheng was still willing to recruit him. He was not afraid that Michael Eisner would eventually turn his back on the client. Because all the shares of the newly established company were in his hands, once Michael Eisner dissatisfied him, he could tell Michael Eisner to get out at any time, and he would only pay liquidated damages at most.

In fact, as long as you are willing to spend money, you don't have to worry about not being able to recruit these two people. After all, they are professional managers. But the problem is that if the cost is too high, it will not be conducive to the structure of the new company's salary system and may easily cause hidden dangers.

Furthermore, the abilities of Michael Eisner and Shirley Lansing have been confirmed in the future, but this does not mean that the abilities of others are not good. Lin Baicheng has other options.

"Yes, BOSS!"

Isabella looked at the list and took note of the names of Michael Eisner and Shirley Lansing, who might become her colleagues in the future.
