Reborn as a Hong Kong Tycoon

Chapter 206 Entering Hollywood

Lin Baicheng didn't think about it for too long, he made a 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 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 Xiangjiang has Star Films, and the companies on both sides may complement each other.

Although I don't know if I can control a film company like Hollywood's Big Eight in the future, making movies is still very profitable, so I will set up a film company first.

"Then BOSS, are you going to buy a movie company?"

Isabella asked aloud. She knew that her boss had set up a film company in Xiangjiang, and there was a TV station in Xiangjiang. It seemed that the boss had a soft spot for the media industry.

"more or less."

Lin Baicheng said: "Since I have decided to enter Hollywood, I am not going to make a small fuss. Therefore, the film company will definitely acquire it. Acquisition is the way to develop rapidly, but I am not asking you to acquire the film company now, but for me first. Find a great talent."

"You go to the headhunting company first, let the headhunting company find a suitable head of the film company for me, and leave the acquisition of the film company to this future head, it's a test for this person."

"I'll contact the headhunter in a while."

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

In Hollywood film companies, although Lin Baicheng will review films with large investments to avoid making 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 has no way to manage all the time. movie company.

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

In less than two days, Isabella handed over the list sent by the headhunting company to Lin Baicheng.There are quite a few candidates for the president of a new film company, and these candidates are all likely to be recruited. Whether they can be successful or not requires the help of a headhunting company to make contact.

"Ok?"

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

Lin Baicheng, who wrote the 80s Xiangjiang entertainment article, is also very familiar with the Hollywood entertainment industry in the 90s and s. Although he is familiar with most of the film names, actors and actresses, directors and screenwriters, etc., he is the head behind the well-known Hollywood film company. I also know a few of them.

Michael Eisner, the emperor of Disney in the 90s, developed Disney from a company with a market value of 20 billion US dollars to an entertainment empire with a market value of 400 billion US dollars, which shows his ability.

Of course, Michael Eisner has also been criticized.First of all, he is an individualist, many business decisions are derived from his personal preferences, otherwise there would be no title like '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 and assisting Barry Diller in managing Paramount.

"Barry Diller!"

When he saw Barry Diller's name, Lin Baicheng shook his head involuntarily.Barry Diller's ability is also quite powerful, but it's a pity that Barry Diller is now the chairman of Paramount, and it is impossible for him to poach Barry Diller.

I also know that it is impossible for Barry Diller to become the president of a new company instead of being the chairman of Paramount.

"Another one?"

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

There is gender discrimination in the workplace in the United States, especially in Hollywood. Therefore, Lin Baicheng, the future female head of the seven major Hollywood film companies, can be said to be very impressive, and it is difficult to remember.

The above resume tells Lin Baicheng that he should not have mistaken someone. He holds a high position in a Hollywood film company, is a woman, and has the same name. This kind of coincidence is almost impossible.

Shirley Lansing, entered Hollywood in 70, but she was an actress at the beginning, but unfortunately she only played some small roles. She left the showbiz in 74 and joined a subsidiary of Columbia Pictures to develop in the direction of a film producer. .

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

Shirley Lansing is a woman, and she has only been working as a producer for a few years. She was appointed as a 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 the familiar name after that.

"Bella, let the headhunter contact these two people as soon as possible, I want to talk to them in person."

Lin Baicheng handed the list to Isabella, and he had marked the names of Michael Eisner and Shirley Lansing.Since these two people can become the heads of the seven major Hollywood film companies in the future, it is enough to show their future capabilities. Now they are both holding high positions, which is completely qualified for 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 their current company and join a newly established film company.After all, they are all qualified for important positions now, and the future is promising. It is normal for them to want to go on step by step.

Among the two, Michael Eisner has a lot of problems, but Lin Baicheng is still willing to recruit. He is not afraid at all that Michael Eisner will turn against the client in the end.Because the shares of the newly established company are all in his hands, once Michael Eisner makes him dissatisfied, he can tell Michael Eisner to leave at any time, and pay liquidated damages at most.

In fact, as long as they are willing to spend money, there is no need 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 composition of the new company's salary system, and it will easily cause hidden dangers.

What's more, 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 enough. Lin Baicheng has other choices.

"Yes, BOSS!"

Isabella looked at the list and kept the names of Michael Eisner and Shirley Lansing in her heart. These two might become her colleagues in the future.
