Chapter 148 Management Issues

According to Li Xianyun's plan, he will not make too many films this year, but will focus on company management, improve the company structure and system construction as much as possible, so that the company itself can grow enough.

The boss job is easier to say than a writer and director. As long as you have money, you can be a boss. There is no difference in strokes between a boss with 10 yuan and a boss with one billion yuan.

But to do it well is undoubtedly the most complicated job in the world.

In fact, it has no rules!

Writers, directors, and photographers all have technical requirements, but the boss does not.

And the more technical indicators there are, the more difficult it is!
There are a lot of great bosses in the world, and when you ask, they are all learned from various business experiences. If you really learn it, you will find that it is useless.

Some learn more and die more.

The most interesting thing is that there will be different or even opposite ideas between successful bosses and successful bosses!

And both types of people are still successful.

How do you play this?

To put it bluntly, it is still necessary to adapt measures to the time, place and person.

For example, what does the chairman do?

This in itself is an interesting question.

The essence of the chairman represents ownership!

That is, who owns the company is an attribute issue.

The CEO is the one who runs the company.

Therefore, the chairman is generally responsible for singing the white face, pointing the direction, creating dreams for the employees, distributing money for everyone, and only asking about the results but not the process; while the CEO is playing the bad face, controlling the team, realizing the boss's dream, making everyone make money, and controlling the process Complete results.

The two are inherently contradictory, and are generally not suitable for the same person to be responsible.

But Yisheng Media is different.

Yisheng Media is a joint-stock company, and a general joint-stock company separates ownership and management rights, but Li Xianyun and the others are different. They wear the cover of a joint-stock company, but operate in the reality of a partnership company. Li Xianyun has been working in film and television for a year. The chairman of the company is actually doing the job of the CEO, head of the production department and director.

And these four positions represent different ideas.

When the chairman is mainly responsible for two things.Once you find money, you can develop a company only if you have money.The second is to do strategic planning, that is, what is the main business of the company, what is the main style, including the subsequent strategic transformation and so on.Things like bank loans, land mortgages, and investment in ghost towns can only be decided by the chairman and the board of directors.

As the CEO, he is in charge of specific operations, optimization of the corporate management system, and major project cooperation between companies, etc. For example, the cooperation with Huayou to film Doomsday Flower, which is a major project cooperation, is the responsibility of the CEO.

When it comes to the person in charge of the production department, it is how many films we will make this year, what kind of films will be made, and how to operate.The job of the nine films is for the CEO to set the tone. I want nine films and what kind of film I want.Then the person in charge of the production department will determine the specific plan and allocate resources according to the needs of the boss.

The next step is to choose a producer, director, screenwriter, and be responsible for the specific implementation.

Li Xianyun holds four jobs, from big boss to senior management to middle management and then to senior wage earners. If screenwriters are counted, all low-level wage earners have a share.

It's okay to do this when the company is small, but when it grows bigger, it must be thrown away, and it must be thrown from the bottom to the top.

So Li Xianyun is definitely quitting the job of screenwriting now, and then dumped the director—it hurts so much, damn it, these are the two things I am best at.

Then there is the production department, which is still in his hands, after all, he is responsible for the operation and arrangement of the nine films.

Once this is done, go back to the position of CEO and start thinking about strategic planning and corporate systems. As for the responsibilities of the chairman—forget it, the main responsibilities of the chairman are external cooperation, capital needs and strategy Planning, but Yisheng Media currently has very little cooperation with external parties, the main body is on its own, and the funds are sufficient. The strategic planning is mainly to focus on ghost special effects, so there is no other demand for the time being.

Since you want to enter the CEO mindset, you will inevitably have to consider specific operations and system management.

In terms of system, Yisheng Media is still using the original system, which is basically the conventional things.

There are only a few meanings for the existence of the system.

One, to establish cooperation methods and relationships for all owners of an enterprise.Second, provide a process for solving problems.Third, avoid unnecessary problems.

All system construction should have meaning, that is to say, the rules you set up for the company must be based on certain considerations, not rules for the sake of making rules!

Then on this basis, if Li Xianyun wants to build the company system, he must take into account the existing situation—what problems do we often encounter recently?How should we use the system to solve the problem?

When one pile of problems is solved, a sound system suitable for your company will naturally take shape slowly.

So this matter does not need to be done overnight, but a matter of building a bridge when encountering water.

The rest is specific operation.

This thing is also very complicated, including a series of things such as employing people, setting up departments, and so on.

Now the ghost town is still under construction, and there is Yi Sheng's agent, and Yi Sheng Media itself is divided into film and television production and post-production, so it is also a mess.

Li Xianyun had to sort them out one by one.

Today Li Xianyun was sitting in the office, looking at Zhao Yunyang with a headache.

Zhao Yunyang came to talk to him about the existing problems of Yisheng Media.

Zhao Yunyang said directly: "The current daily business of Yisheng Media is always in a downturn. The people in the business department have worked very hard, but before doing film and television, most of the manpower was transferred, so that we are always short of manpower. In addition, the production department, except for those Outside of the Nine Parts, follow-up plans have not been clarified, and everyone does not know what to do next."

Daily business is fundamental to the maintenance of film and television companies, but now Yisheng Media is really doing very badly in this regard.

This is the fault of CEO Li Xianyun.

And the production department is also a little bit at a loss now. Nine films have been approved, Chaoying is still in the script stage, and will not enter the preparatory stage for the time being. What are you doing in the middle?Everyone is at a loss.

This is the fault of Li Xianyun, the director of the production department.

Zhao Yunyang continued: "In addition, special effects are also a problem. Yisheng Media's special effects are now well-known, and many film and television companies want to cooperate with us. The business department can attract business at any time, but the problem is that they don't even have people in the special effects department I have never seen it before, and there is no unified price. Guicheng is in charge of the special effects business, but the problem is that the people in Guicheng don’t understand special effects at all, especially our holographic special effects only solve part of the special effects problems, and some business needs to be handed over to the post-production department , but the specific business is contacted by the ghost town, and they don't know how to operate it. We still have to do the work, but they negotiate the business. The coordination between the two sides is also a big problem. Fortunately, the ghost town is not open yet. But the business team has already discovered this problem, and when the problem occurs after the official operation, there will be a lot of troubles.”

Very well, there is also a problem with the company's coordination. This can be the CEO's fault or the chairman's fault, but in the final analysis it is Li Xianyun's fault.

Li Xianyun found out that there are too many things in charge, and the biggest disadvantage is: all the blame is yours.

If you want to throw it, there is no place to throw it.

Big head!
The chairman of other people's family waved their sleeves and scolded: How do you do this job?How is the company managed?

How did I get here, and I was taught by my subordinates: How is this job arranged?Does the company still need to develop in the future?
Li Xianyun nodded helplessly, and said with a guilty conscience, "Let me think about it."
