"This is the information I got from the headhunting company. They recommended three people. They have held positions in film companies before, and their business capabilities are completely fine. The rest, you, the chairman, need to make a decision."

Robert put a few pieces of information in front of Jiang Hao.

The headhunting company appeared very early and appeared in the United States in 1926. After decades of development, it is now very mature.

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

Robert's selection was really good, not very old, the oldest one was 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 cafe, and Jiang Hao asked for a private room. Someone saw this and heard that Jiang Hao and the others were a new company that had just been established and did not even have an office location, and expressed their disappointment.

Jiang Hao doesn’t care. It’s two-way to find someone. You may look down on others, and naturally they may look down on you.

At this moment, there was a man in his forties sitting in front of Jiang Hao. His name was Connor, the last one among the interviewees. He was a little thin, but his eyes were very smart.

"Mr. Conner, you were the deputy general manager of Warner's film department before, why did you resign?" Jiang Hao asked.

Connor shrugged, "Warner's film business has shrunk seriously and has been losing money for many years. Ten years ago, Warner produced more than 40 movies every year, about 10 movies five years ago, and only 2 movies last year. The company laid off employees and laid off many people. Although I did not include me, I could not see hope, so I left voluntarily."

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

"If you join our company, what treatment do you want?" Jiang Hao asked.

"I hope to get a part of the equity, and a basic salary of no less than $1,000," Connor said.

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

Direct investment and acquisition of shares are completely different from enjoying equity incentive mechanisms. I won’t go into details here. In short, the latter does not need to pay, but there are many restrictions and requires installment periods. If you cannot trade, you can only get dividends. This is mainly a way for the company to retain core personnel.

Of course, this is mainly based on the initial agreement between the two parties, and there are also conditions to obtain real shares.

Jiang Hao’s promise is to increase equity, lasting five years, and get up to 5% of the shares. This part of the equity can be dividends. After working for 8 years, you can get 5% of the real shares. This part of the shares will be released from Jiang Hao.

Conner was very satisfied with this condition, and Robert did not object.

The three of them stood up and shook hands.

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

There are many things to do next. When Jiang Hao was starting a company, he decided to rent an office in Rockefeller Building. Now this is one of the most luxurious office buildings in the United States. When he saw the company's nameplate sticking in Rockefeller Hall, Jiang Hao felt very satisfied.

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

Jiang Hao completely left the recruitment of staff to Connor and Robert. After all, they are both professionals, and his task is to get money and keep getting money out.

Jiang Hao has already started to take filming on the track.

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

These department heads were recruited by Connor and Robert, and they were all experienced in the industry and could work quickly after coming here.

Jiang Hao said: "The company was established and I was preparing to shoot the first movie, the film and television production department, and start the project preparation and the shooting team."

This is a major item, which is the main body of film production. Choosing the shooting location, preparing props, equipment, etc. are all their business.

"The Performing Arts Department is responsible for finding suitable actors. Let me first talk. The starring of this film has been confirmed. Monroe is the heroine, three little raccoons are the protagonists, I am the hero, and other actors need to be found temporarily. This is your job."

"The Finance Department is responsible for all accounts of transactions and business funds. I don't want the accounts to be confused." When filming movies, finance is a very, very important item. If you don't stare at them carefully, a lot of money will be spent inexplicably.

This is Jiang Hao's career, and he cannot give others a favor.

"The General Business Department is responsible for logistics and marketing business department. There is an important task left to you. I have listed a list here. In our movie, there will be many products and locations. Let's talk to them whether they need advertising. If they don't need it, they will talk to you."

Advertising is an implicit advertisement. For example, the car in 007 is a major item of advertising implantation. Why is it always so cool to shoot 007 cars? It is not because of the advertising implantation of big car manufacturers. If Bond wants to drive your car, it often costs tens of millions of dollars. This is not a small amount of money.

On the small side, there are also many advertisement implants. Take the drink as an example. Whether to drink Pepsi or Coca-Cola, you can talk to the two companies about who implants the advertisement and who drinks it.

In this movie, Jiang Hao has many places where advertising can be implanted, from beverages to home appliances, where Monroe works, whether it is McDonald's or KFC, and even the cake shop where Monroe stops, Jiang Hao is planning to choose a person who is willing to spend money.

......

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

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, and as long as you have money, you can get everything. The actors have various unions and can choose at will. Every year, countless people are looking for opportunities. Just like Monroe, there is never a shortage of actors here, as long as you have money.

"Boss, is this a budget table?" The financial supervisor handed over the bill to Jiang Hao.

Jiang Hao continued to watch one by one. The director fee was 200,000 US dollars and the male protagonist was 10,000 US dollars. Jiang Hao's price was too miserable. He only posted a total of less than three minutes of the shots in it and asked for a 10,000 yuan salary.

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

The three pets, raccoons, each paid 50,000 US dollars. They are all Jiang Hao's pets. They have registered with government departments before, and the salary will eventually fall into Jiang Hao's hands, hahahaha.

Jiang Hao is a pure money laundering, and he launders the cash that he used to sell drugs into legal assets. You should know that even in later generations, movie money laundering is a major item in money laundering business.

The remaining actors, such as Monroe's teacher, the villain who attacked Monroe, the dog-holding man who woke up in the morning, etc., each of them only has a few thousand to hundreds of dollars in pay, while those extras have dozens of dollars, and their pay is not listed separately.

The big item is to rent props and shooting machines. Film is the biggest expense. Now it is 1955, and there is still a certain market for black and white movies. For example, Monroe filmed in 1959, which uses black and white film. To be honest, Jiang Hao always feels that this is the biggest regret. If he uses color film, he doesn’t know how beautiful Monroe will be.

But color film is indeed very expensive now, basically three to five times the price of black and white film. No wonder in the 1960s, many directors used black and white film, but they just couldn't afford it.

However, Jiang Hao has made up his mind that all his movies in the future must be colorful without any regrets.

Jiang Hao checked the color film behind and said to the supervisor: "With color film, our actors don't pay much for this film, so we can save money to invest in the film."

"Okay boss."

The treasurer went out and the film and television production department head came in again, "Boss, this is the deputy director we selected, as well as actors, dramas, setters, lighting artists, sound engineers, stylists, hairstylists, assistants lists, arrangements and editing will be hired after the final shooting is completed."

"Boss, we have found two deputy directors for you. They have both filmed movies before, have rich experience, and have even filmed movies independently. However, the film is in a downturn and they can't find investors. They know that there is a chance to shoot and are willing to come over to work."

......

The head of the film and television production department left, and the head of the marketing business department came in again, "Boss, we have found more than a dozen companies, and three of them have already reached an agreement, and have earned US$24,300 in advertising revenue..."

It is really a lot to do if you want to shoot a movie. The director needs to mercy resources in all aspects and then produce a movie that can reach the level of art. This is really not easy. This is why those great directors can be called masters.

Fortunately, Jiang Hao has super memory ability and has followed the crew. He is also very physically strong, so he can be fully merciless.

It was already afternoon, and Jiang Hao told his secretary that he was driving home. When the car was driving into a street, Jiang Hao suddenly saw a man in suit rushing out of the alley next to him.

"Bang bang bang!"

Suddenly, several gunshots rang behind, and the man in the suit ran down in front of him, then tried hard to get up, shot two shots behind him, and continued to run forward.

When the people around saw this, they screamed and ran around. Jiang Hao quickly braked to avoid hitting the running pedestrians.

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

"Bang!"

"Crash!"

A piece of car glass on the side of Jiang Hao's car was broken.

Jiang Hao subconsciously lowered his head to avoid it. At this moment, the car door behind was pulled open. The man in the suit quickly climbed into the back seat of Jiang Hao's car, pressed Jiang Hao's neck with a pistol, and said sternly with difficulty: "Drive quickly, drive out of the city, hurry up, or I will shoot you to death."

"Squeak~~"

Jiang Hao stepped on the accelerator hard, and the car rushed out as fast as possible. Behind him, the people raised their guns and shot at the car repeatedly. Many gun holes were shot out of the buttocks, but they failed to stop the car from escaping quickly.
Chapter completed!
