Chapter 954: Purposefulness

Actually, for Zhenhua University graduates to enter Linghe to work, at the current stage, Lu Yan He really doesn't "welcome them with open arms."

Because Linghe is not complete and huge enough now, and systematic knowledge structure and personal talent and ability cannot be guaranteed to have full room for display.

To achieve results in Linghe at this stage, compared to personal knowledge structure or academic knowledge, what is valued more is the "old oil" who has been tempered by the work itself and can make Linghe exert effort to make good use of resources.

Now is the time to build the country, not the time to guard the country.

However, any company needs reserve strength.

Although these few Zhenhua graduates haven't played a particularly important and key role in the company yet, based on their current performance, Lu Yan He believes that in time, they can become the backbone of Linghe.

"Now Linghe's daily employment cost has risen to nearly 90 million a year," Chen Yin said. "Rapid expansion in the past few years, from management personnel to personnel in the production chain, we have added nearly 100 employees."

Lu Yan He: "This will be a big company in the future."

"In Europe and America, the team led by Wan Qingqing already has a scale of 16 people," Chen Yin said. "Now our entire Linghe operation is very healthy, which benefits from the simplicity of the company's business and profit model, saving a lot of trouble."

"Okay, very beautiful."

Chen Yin asked: "Boss, have you considered separating production and copyright operation?"

Linghe's two major profit sources, one is the copyright income of film, television, and variety works, and the other is the related copyright operation income.

In Linghe, the latter is a cut more than the former.

Lu Yan He shook his head: "Cannot be separated. Now Linghe's projects, almost every one of them starts to access copyright operation derivatives at the beginning of the project. If the two are separated, internal docking will become a new contradiction."

Chen Yin: "Then we must further expand the current personnel scale on the current basis."

"Expand in what aspect? Administrative management or production?"

"Administrative management," Chen Yin said. "Our current administrative management team is running almost at high load. It is only because the promotion space is large and the performance bonus is high that this set can be supported under the current situation, but it is not a long-term solution."

"OK," Lu Yan He nodded. "High-level companies must have strong administrative management teams. However, apart from the management team, have we not reformed the management mode and operation mechanism for two years? We have added about 100 employees, but I haven't received a plan for the adjustment of the company's operation mechanism for two years."

Chen Yin's expression changed slightly, nodded, and said: "This is my negligence. Most of my attention has been put on production and works, and I have neglected the construction of the company's management system."

"The company has been continuously increasing investment in content production in the past few years, and it is normal for your energy to be transferred," Lu Yan He said. "In fact, I understand what you mean. You also found that the company's content business has expanded several times, not the volume it was before, so you hope to separate it from copyright operation derivatives. This is Linghe's core competitiveness and cannot be split at will. On the contrary, the company's daily operation and management should find you another deputy."

"Chen Yin has worked hard for the company for so many years and wants to be promoted. The idea is normal. However, in addition to production and copyright operation, Sister Zixing will come over soon to open up our big platform construction."

Lu Yan He said to Chen Ziyan: "The management requirements of the three major businesses for the company have also been further improved. Letting Chen Yin be responsible for management while taking care of a production business is not only too high a requirement for him, but also easily causes the company's structure to be unbalanced."

Chen Ziyan asked: "Then how do you plan to solve it?"

"I will let him cultivate a deputy from within the company, one year, and then he will make a choice himself, two choose one, to see which position he stays in," Lu Yan He said. "He has worked conscientiously for the company for these years and has done a lot. I don't want to promote him in name but demote him in reality for the purpose of checks and balances, and I also hope he can continue to exert his ability. He cultivates a deputy himself, and then goes to be responsible for another business. Emotionally, he should be able to accept it relatively better."

"Then you are not worried that the deputy he cultivates will finally be his person?"

"Whether it is his person or not, as long as it can implement Linghe's development strategic intent, it is Linghe's person," Lu Yan He said. "As long as it doesn't cross the line, to tell the truth, in the company, there are Xu Tianming's people, Chen Yin's people, and there will be Xin Zixing's people in the future. Factions will never disappear. Any person you mention will be someone else's person. Just like in others' eyes, Xu Tianming, Chen Yin, and the future Sister Zixing are all my people. Who is whose person is not the key issue; whose words work is the key issue."

Chen Ziyan nodded with full appreciation.

"Hearing you say these words, I am satisfied."

"The joy of cultivation?" Lu Yan He asked back with a smile.

Chen Ziyan nodded, "Yes."

Lu Yan He showed a speechless expression.

"Lu Yan He's screenwriter masterpiece *Prison Break*, it is said that Cheng Hai will play the male lead number two."

"Why does Cheng Hai still go to play the male lead number two?"

"That is a big drama written by Lu Yan He."

"Cheng Hai has played all male leads in the past few years. Isn't it said that Cheng Hai and Lu Yan He have a very good relationship? Why doesn't Lu Yan He give him a male lead to play?"

"Why should Lu Yan He give him a male lead to play? Just because the relationship is good, he has to give it?"

"Everyone else was given one, wasn't he?"

"Everyone else was given one, so he has to be given one?"

"If they weren't friends, I wouldn't say that."

"Who told you they were friends?"

"...... You are arguing sophistry. Everyone knows they are friends."

"If they were really friends, how come there have never been photos or videos of their private gatherings? They just debuted together and were in a group before."

"Isn't that enough?"

"Have you kept in touch with your middle school classmates? Are you all still friends?"

No more talk.

"Cheng Hai was able to become popular again because of *The Birth of an Actor*. Yan He has been good enough to Cheng Hai. Cheng Hai is not a person from Lu Yan He's company. His agent is even Lu Yan He's former agent. The grievances between Lu Yan He and his former agent are not enough on the Internet? In this situation, Lu Yan He is still willing to give Cheng Hai a male lead number two to play. It's already enough. Don't recruit black for Cheng Hai. He doesn't know how much he thanks Lu Yan He in his heart."

Completely silent.

Zhou Ping'an put away his mobile phone and called the company's publicity department.

"Recently, some speeches on the Internet that provoke the relationship between Cheng Hai and Lu Yan He, keep an eye on them. Report them if they should be reported, and remove them if they should be removed. Don't let these voices stir up trouble."

The male lead number two of *Prison Break* is not a small role.

When Lu Yan He sent this script, he said straight out that this role is the male lead's brother, and also the reason why the male lead wants to enter the prison. Although the screen time in the first part is not much, in the back, the appearance will be more and more.

After so many years, Zhou Ping'an now believes in Lu Yan He's words deeply.

He knows Lu Yan He is not the kind of person who talks nonsense and draws big cakes.

Although Cheng Hai has played male leads in the past few years, there are no particularly big hit works.

It's not that the drama is not good. The broadcast data of the drama is also not bad, and there are also high discussions during the broadcast period, but the effective attention reflected on Cheng Hai, the actor, is not much.

In short, Cheng Hai himself lacks a bit of starlight.

Although Zhou Ping'an has a poisonous eye, he ultimately needs the actor himself to have charm.

Actually, such actors, if your acting is outstanding enough, have rendering power, and can attract fans by the character halo, it's also fine. But Cheng Hai, acting is halfway through, not bad, not good enough to be outstanding. Zhou Ping'an belongs to the clever woman who can't cook without rice.

Otherwise, with Shijin's resources, how could he not be popular?

——Can't say that either. Cheng Hai is not unpopular, just not popular thoroughly, not to the extent of being able to stand alone.

"Going to Thailand to film *Prison Break*, there is one benefit: you can't wait until next summer to start filming," Lu Yan He said. "We still hope that this drama can be launched and broadcast next year. Although the first season only has six episodes, if it starts filming next summer, it will be the year after next at the earliest to be launched and broadcast."

"Hmm, however, *Prison Break*, you should be filming three seasons back-to-back, right?"

"Yes, back-to-back filming," Lu Yan He said.

Actually, the so-called three seasons are the volume of the original first season of *Prison Break*.

It was only split into three seasons to compete for broadcast time.

But this is also a good thing.

Because this drama itself is the positioning of the "pillar" of the international version of Arctic Light Video.

If it can really be broadcast for one season per quarter, it is also conducive to maintaining heat and traffic.

Broadcast three seasons a year, then winter break.

Hua Ruzhen nodded.

"I originally thought your mind had been put entirely on the movie side, but I didn't expect you to turn back to write series."

"Film and television are originally one body. As for movies, more or less, it is still a bit difficult to truly break into the sinking market," Lu Yan He said straight out. "Two hands to grasp, no, actually, including variety shows, it is three hands to grasp."

"Next year's Spring Festival file, will you have any works launched on your side?"

"No," Lu Yan He shook his head. "These movie projects on Linghe's hands are not very suitable for the Spring Festival file."

"Actually, this series of *Home Alone* can continue to be filmed."

"Continue to film, the reputation will not be so good. Actually, by the third and fourth parts, the audience's reputation is already a bit polarized. Everyone is tired of watching."

"Then what about Huang Feng, such a child star who is famous all over the world? What about next? Will you still find him to film?"

"Yes, but he took on a Hollywood movie. Wait for this movie first," Lu Yan He said. "He has to go to school usually. What I have always told his family is that he must study. Even if he is popular now, don't take acting as a profession."

"You are really attentive to him, but his mother may not buy your account," Hua Ruzhen reminded. "I heard that his mother is in contact with other brokerage companies."

"Is that so?" Lu Yan He showed surprise, but he wasn't really surprised.

Regarding Huang Feng's next arrangement, he and his mother did have some disputes and contradictions.

His mother was worried that Huang Feng would not make good use of his current popularity and popularity, and time would not come again.

Lu Yan He felt that it didn't matter if he didn't film for a few years. In the future, he would have resources to let Huang Feng return to the sight of audiences all over the world.

He understood Huang Feng's mother's considerations on one hand, and hoped that Huang Feng's mother would understand himself on the other—

It is also normal not to understand. Lu Yan He has no way to make others believe in himself 100%.

You say you will continue to support Huang Feng in the future, who can guarantee that you will do what you say?

Even if you can guarantee it, when Huang Feng grows up, you may not necessarily have such ability to continue to do such things.

Although he understood everything, out of responsibility for Huang Feng, he insisted that Huang Feng study hard. If he really films, film during winter or summer vacation, film something suitable, don't worry.

After seeing Hua Ruzhen, Lu Yan He took the initiative to call Huang Feng's mother.

"Sister Fenglian, do you want to change Huang Feng's brokerage company?"

Huang Fenglian hesitated for a long time on the other end of the phone before saying: "I do have some understanding for him. It's not that I want to change companies, but I want to find an overseas, professional brokerage company to help him connect with some work in Hollywood."

Lu Yan He felt a little better in his heart.

It was just self-comfort.

If this person was not Huang Feng, but Huang Fenglian herself, Lu Yan He would not make this call at all.

You love to sign with whichever company you want to sign with.

However, Lu Yan He ultimately couldn't ignore him because of his mother's problem.

"Sister Fenglian, you should understand that I don't let Huang Feng take a lot of plays now and let him study hard, which is actually also losing my own interests, right?"

Huang Fenglian: "Lu Zong, I don't feel that you are deliberately hanging him, it's just that we have different views and judgments on some things."

"OK, since you understand this point, I will tell you directly," Lu Yan He said. "Huang Feng's contract is signed with Shi Huo, and it is signed for a total of 8 years. When he signed the contract with us, he was 13 years old. This contract will not expire until he is 21 years old. I tell you very clearly, no matter which brokerage company you find and what conditions you are promised, I will not accept negotiation. Before he is an adult, I will not transfer his brokerage contract to anyone, and I will not let him give up his studies to take a lot of plays."

After Lu Yan He finished speaking, he didn't care at all what Huang Fenglian thought and what she was going to answer, and hung up the phone directly.

The attitude was given.

Enough.

There is nothing to break.

You are the guardian, no problem, but the brokerage contract is in our hands.

You are the guardian, but you can't ignore the contract.

Lu Yan He even prepared to fight a public opinion war with Huang Fenglian.

If Huang Fenglian really intended to launch a public opinion offensive against him on the Internet.

"This drama *Prison Break*, we will go to Thailand for filming. After we submitted the filming plan for the first three seasons, the government there promised to give us a tax rebate of 2.5 million USD," Chen Yin said to Lu Yan He. "The condition is that our crew needs to use at least 100 local practitioners, including some other conditions. What is more difficult to handle is these 100 practitioners."

"Okay, no problem," Lu Yan He said. "Not to mention anything else, the prison needs more than 100 extras. Prison management personnel can also directly use Thai actors."

"OK." Chen Yin saw that Lu Yan He had no opinion, so he marked it. "In addition, Lu Zong, I considered the company development plan you mentioned to me before. Over the past few years, I have actually put more effort into film and television production, and I also hope to continue to exert effort in this aspect. Therefore, for the deputy, I am prepared to cultivate in the aspect of administrative management."

Lu Yan He nodded.

"You have a decision."

"As for the candidates, I picked 3 candidates from the company. Let's see who is more suitable?" Chen Yin took out a resume material of the candidates.

Lu Yan He took a look and nodded, but didn't open it.

"You decide this. You know the people and things inside the company best," Lu Yan He smiled slightly. "Of course, if you are not sure yourself, you can seek the opinions of Xu Tianming and Xin Zixing." ===== CHAPTER 955 =====
