"This is the information I got from the headhunting company, they recommended 3 people, all of whom had held positions in film companies before, and their business ability was completely fine, and the rest needs to be decided by you, the chairman."

Robert put a few documents in front of Jiang Hao.

Headhunters appeared in the United States very early, in 1926, and after decades of development, it is now very mature.

Jiang Hao looked through these files one by one, and after reading them only once, he memorized all the information of these people in his mind.

Robert's selection of people is really good, none of them are very old, the oldest one is in his 40s this year, "Let's find a place to meet them and listen to their opinions." ”

The meeting was arranged in an ordinary café, Jiang Hao asked for a private room, and some people saw this situation, and heard that Jiang Hao and they were a new company that had just been established and did not even have an office space, and expressed great disappointment.

Jiang Hao doesn't care, finding someone is a two-way street, you can look down on others, and people can naturally look down on you.

At this moment, Jiang Hao was sitting in front of a man in his forties, his name was Connor, the last of the interviewees, his body was a little thin, but his eyes were very shrewd.

"Mr. Connor, you were previously the deputy general manager of Warner's film department, why did you leave?" Jiang Hao asked.

Connor shrugged, "Warner's film business has shrunk badly, and it has been losing money for many years, ten years ago, Warner produced more than 40 movies a year, five years ago it was about 10, and last year there were only 2 films, and the company laid off a lot of people, although it didn't include me, but I couldn't see hope, so I took the initiative to leave." ”

Jiang Hao asked some professional questions again, Connor answered them one by one, Jiang Hao was more satisfied with this Mr. Connor's answer, not old-fashioned but principled, he started from the bottom step by step, understood all the business of the film company, and was indeed the talent he needed.

"If you join our company, what would you like to be treated for?" Jiang Hao asked.

"I want to get a portion of the equity and a base salary of at least $1,000." Connor said.

Jiang Hao and Robert glanced at each other, and then Jiang Hao said, "I can open the equity incentive mechanism for you." ”

Direct investment in shares to get shares, and enjoy the equity incentive mechanism is completely different, I will not go into detail here, in short, the latter does not need to pay, but there are many restrictions, but also to divide the period, can not trade can only get dividends, mainly for the company to retain the core personnel of a way.

Of course, this is mainly in the agreement between the two parties at the beginning, and there are also those who meet the conditions to get real shares.

Jiang Hao's commitment is to increase the equity for a period of 5 years, up to 5 shares, this part of the equity can get dividends, work for the company for 8 years, you can get 5 real shares, this part of the shares from Jiang Hao's side.

Connor was satisfied with the terms, and Robert did not object.

The three of them stood up and shook hands,

In this way, the three giants of Hall Company gathered.

There are many things to follow, starting to form a company, Jiang Hao made a decision, rented an office in the Rockefeller Building, and now it is one of the most luxurious office buildings in the United States, when he saw the company nameplate pasted in the Rockefeller Hall, Jiang Hao felt very satisfied.

No matter how small the business is, as long as you do it with your heart, you will reap a sense of satisfaction.

Recruiting staff, Jiang Hao completely handed over to Connor and Robert, after all, both of them are professionals, and his task is to take money, and keep taking money out.

And Jiang Hao, on his side, has begun to put the filming on track.

In the conference room, Chairman Jon Hall sat in the main seat, General Manager Connor, and Legal Director Robert sat on both sides, and the directors of the Human Resources Department, Finance Department, Administration Department, General Affairs Department, Marketing Business Department, Film and Television Production Department, and Performing Arts Department were present.

These department heads were all recruited by Connor and Robert, and they are all familiar with the industry, so they can work quickly.

Jiang Hao said: "After the company is formed, I am ready to shoot the first film, the film and television production department, start the project preparation and set up the shooting team. ”

This is a big item, it is the main body of film production, and it is their business to choose the shooting location, prepare props, equipment, etc.

"The acting department, responsible for finding suitable actors, let me say first, the starring role of this film has been determined, Monroe is the heroine, the three little raccoons are the protagonists, I am the male lead, and other actors need to be found temporarily, this is your job."

"The finance department is responsible for all the current business fund accounts, and I don't want the accounts to be chaotic." When making a movie, finances are very, very important items, and if you don't keep an eye on it, a lot of money will be spent inexplicably.

This is Jiang Hao's career, and it is impossible for him to let others enrich himself.

"The Integrated Operations Department is responsible for logistics. Marketing business department, there is an important task entrusted to you, I have a list here, in our movie, there will be a lot of goods, locations, go and talk to them, do you need advertising placement, if they don't need it, talk to another company. ”

Advertising placement is a kind of implicit advertising, such as the car in 007, which is a major item of advertising placement, why always shoot 007's car so cool, and it is not the reason for the advertising placement of those big car manufacturers, if you want Bond to drive your car, it often costs tens of millions of dollars in advertising costs, which is not a small amount of money.

On the small side, there are also a lot of advertising placements, take drinks as an example, whether to drink Pepsi or Coca-Cola, this can be discussed with the two families, who implants ads and drinks whom.

In Jiang Hao's movie, there are many places that can be placed in advertising, from drinks to home appliances, as well as the place where Monroe works, whether it is McDonald's or KFC, and even the cake shop where Monroe stopped, Jiang Hao is ready to choose one that is willing to spend money.

Hall Film Company is like a car, everyone is a part and plays their role, and Jiang Hao is the driver, responsible for the right direction.

Although the film industry in New York has declined, it is still the second largest film base in the United States, it is still very easy to form a shooting team, all the equipment is rented, as long as you have money, you can get everything, actors have various unions, you can choose at will, and countless people are looking for opportunities every year, just like Monroe, there is never a shortage of actors here, as long as there is money.

"Boss, is this a budget sheet?" The treasurer handed the bill to Jiang Hao.

Jiang Hao watched it one by one, the director fee was 200,000 US dollars, and the actor was 10,000 US dollars, Jiang Hao's price was too miserable, he only made a total of less than three minutes of footage in it, and he asked for a salary of 10,000 yuan.

The heroine's salary is 100,000, Monroe is a pure newcomer, it's not good to be too high.

Three pet raccoons, each with a salary of 50,000 US dollars, they are all Jiang Hao's pets, and they have been registered with the government department before, and this salary will eventually fall into Jiang Hao's hands, hehehehe.

Jiang Hao: This is Chiguoguo's money laundering, laundering the cash from selling drugs into legal assets, you know, even in later generations, movie money laundering is also a major item in the money laundering business.

The rest of the actors, such as Monroe's teacher, the villain who attacked Monroe, the dog man who got up in the morning, etc., each of them only has a salary of a few thousand to a few hundred dollars, and those extras have dozens of dollars, and the salaries are not listed separately.

The big item is the rental of props and shooting machines, film is the biggest expense, now it is 1955, there is still a certain market for black and white films, such as Monroe's 1959 shooting of "Passion Like Fire", which is the black and white film used, to be honest, Jiang Hao always feels that this is the biggest regret, if you use color film, I don't know how beautiful Monroe will be.

But now color film is really very expensive, basically three to five times the price of black and white film, no wonder in the 60s, there are still many directors who use black and white film, but they can't afford it.

However, Jiang Hao has already made up his mind that all his movies in the future must be in color, leaving no regrets.

Jiang Hao ticked the back of the color film and said to the supervisor: "With color film, our actors don't get much paid in this film, so they can be saved and invested in the film." ”

"Okay boss."

The treasurer went out, and the head of the film and television production department came in again, "Boss, this is the assistant director we have selected, as well as the actors, drama management, set designer, lighting engineer, sound engineer, stylist, hairstylist, stuntman, assistant list, arranger and editing will be hired after the final completion of shooting." ”

"Boss, we found you two assistant directors, they have both made movies before, have rich experience, and even made movies independently, but now that the film is sluggish, they can't find investors, they know that there are opportunities to shoot, and they are very willing to come and work."

The director of the film and television production department left, and the director of the marketing business department came in again, "Boss, we have found more than a dozen companies, and three have already negotiated with 24,300 US dollars in advertising revenue."

If you want to shoot a movie, it is really complicated, the director needs to arrange all kinds of resources, and then produce a work of art, it is really not easy to reach the level of a work of art, which is why those big directors can be called masters.

Fortunately, Jiang Hao has a super memory, and he has been with the crew, and his physical strength is also very abundant, which can be completely manipulated.

Seeing that it was already afternoon, Jiang Hao said to his secretary, and was about to drive home, when the car was driving into a street, Jiang Hao suddenly saw a man in a suit rushing out of the alley next to him.

"Bang bang bang!"

Suddenly several gunshots rang out from behind, and the man in the suit running in front of him fell down with a thud, then struggled to get up, fired two shots in the back, and continued to run forward.

Seeing this, the people around screamed and ran around, and Jiang Hao hurriedly braked so as not to hit the pedestrians who were running around.

But at this moment, the man in the suit had already run in front of Jiang Hao's car, and Jiang Hao saw three or four people rushing out of the alley, all holding guns in their hands, shooting frequently at this side, and the man in the suit hurriedly hid behind Jiang Hao's car and used his body to dodge bullets.

"Smack!"

"Whoa!"

One piece of car glass on the side of Jiang Hao's car was shattered.

Jiang Hao subconsciously lowered his head to dodge, and at this moment, the back door was opened, and the man in the suit quickly climbed into the back seat of Jiang Hao's car, pressed a pistol against Jiang Hao's neck, and said sharply: "Drive quickly, drive out of the city, quickly, or I will shoot you." ”

"Squeak~~"

Jiang Hao stepped on the accelerator fiercely, and the car rushed out at the fastest speed, behind him, those people raised their guns and shot at the car again and again, and the butt of the car was shot out of many holes, but they couldn't stop the car from running away quickly.
