my crew is not human

Chapter 225 Corporate Governance

"Boss, your task is really too difficult!"

In the office, Liu Yijiang, the manager of the production department, Liu Shuwen, the deputy manager of the production department, and Yi Lei, the deputy manager of the production department, sat in front of him and cried.

Or for the breaking of the new model.

Li Xianyun's new model seems to only change the shooting method of the crew, but it actually affects not only the crew, but also the company's headquarters.

The headquarters of the film and television company is not just for food, and there are a lot of things to do.

Before setting up a project, it is necessary to check the market dynamics, do data analysis, look at the trend of the audience, grasp the current hot spots, and set up the project in a targeted manner;
When setting up a project, you need to find a script, make a script, review the script, and the script will be developed one after another;

After the project is approved, a team needs to be set up. It is said that the producer is in charge, and there must be someone below to help contact all parties;

After the project is launched, there are many needs and follow-up services that the company needs to keep up with;
After the project is completed, do the post-production, no matter whether it is your own post-production or not, someone must follow up;

After everything is done, it needs to be launched and reviewed, and someone has to be responsible;
After review, someone still needs to be responsible for sending the film;

Don't think that you don't have to do anything if you hand it over to the announcement company. Your own resources should not be wasted. Copywriting must be written, operations must be done, announcements must be run, contact with all parties, and all kinds of publicity. Do what you have to do... If your own children can't be handed over to others, just let them go.

After all these are done, we have to continue to follow up the market, and by the way, see if there is any opportunity for related copyright development-if it is the TV drama market, this part has to be done even before the project is approved.

The last thing is to look at the results, watch the box office, sprinkle flowers and champagne to celebrate when you make money, and then move on to the next one.

A lot of pressure!

So the film and television company may only make one or two films in a year, and there are also a bunch of departments below.

Marketing department, administration department, planning department, production department, operation department, finance, legal affairs, personnel affairs, without post-processing are a bunch of departments, including various studios, and some even divide the production department into photography department, director department Wait, it varies from company to company.

But this is a relatively complete film and television company, and Yisheng Media is much better.

First of all, Yisheng Media does not attract investment, and it is the boss's job to do so. The production department does not need to consider this.So a lot of work for investors doesn't have to be done.For example, when many film and television projects are established, they will make some corresponding exquisite pictures, some props, publicity plans, market operation plans, sample shooting, etc. These are mainly used for investors and other partners. For money, people have to know what you are shooting and how to shoot it, right?

Yisheng Media does not need it, so this piece is not set up.

As for the marketing operation department, there is no one yet.Because Yisheng Media mainly makes use of its own resource advantages in making films, Wangda company will not have such professional market research, and some news and free resources come from Huayou.Most of the time, it is decided with a slap in the head-this is not only Li Xianyun, but most small film and television companies do this.

Do you really think how many small companies spend a lot of money and energy doing market research?That thing just sounds good, and only big companies need this, but it still can't stand up to the wrong decision-the marketing department studied hard, and finally succeeded in finding the market direction of failure.

As for the publicity, there is no need to think about it, because it is a large network, and there is no need for a large-scale handwriting that is as complicated as a theater chain. If you want to promote it, you can just find the website to buy resources. After Li Xianyun signed a cooperation agreement with Xunjie, there is no need to buy resources. The films are uploaded online.

This makes Yisheng Media have much less pressure on administration and logistics than ordinary film and television companies.

But they were not without work after all.

More importantly, there are fewer types of jobs, but the magnitude has increased.

You fucking want ten movies a month, no one can handle it.

The script alone is not enough.

The script is still very important. No matter how Yisheng Media relies on special effects to make money, the script can't be too bad.

In the past period of time, Yisheng Media has been so ferocious in making films, but the actual script has been lackluster. The reason why it is not completely bad is because Li Xianyun is the main subject.The first year's scripts were written by Li Xianyun, except for the legend of the Dragon Tomb, and then the scripts of the Chaoying series were written by Li Xianyun's supervisor, and it took about a year before and after.As for all the scripts, Li Xianyun has a supervisor and producer, not the main screenwriter but also a co-screenwriter.

A writer who writes tens of millions of words a year has a lot of script workload. Ten professional screenwriters are not as good as Li Xianyun alone. How else can scriptwriters fear Boss Li the most?
He can torment everyone to death by himself, and that's just incidental!
In other words, without Li Xianyun, the achievements of the production department in terms of scripts have shrunk by more than half in an instant.

Now Li Xianyun handed over the production department to Liu Yijiang and the others, turned around and told them to start the batch production mode, and no less than ten books a month-at Li Xianyun's speed, ten books means three hours to read After finishing it, half an hour of it was wasted watching and cursing.

And behind these ten notebooks are all related supporting services... This is to exhaust people to death.

The boss is so exhausted that he doesn't feel bad, the key is that he can't do the job well even if he is exhausted.

This gave Li Xianyun a headache too.

Because this is really a problem for the entire enterprise.

To institutionalize!

Be systematized!

To optimize the company structure!
It depends on the company's own operation to solve the problem!

But the institutionalization process of Yisheng Media is really too difficult.

After all, there are little ghosts around, and many things simply cannot unfold in an optimal way.

Li Xianyun kept saying that the reduction in efficiency was the price of corporate development, but when the price really increased, he couldn't accept it—the future plan of Yisheng Media was matrix shooting.

What's the point if the efficiency is low?

In a sense, corporate management is the same as writing a script and changing a script. It affects the whole body by one trigger - if a character in the script is changed, all related plots must be changed accordingly.

If you launch a new business model, then the front-end needs to be improved, the mid-term needs to be improved, the back-end needs to be improved, and the service personnel in the company's headquarters need to be changed.

The new mode of extreme shooting that Cao Hongyue is in charge of alone involves a series of messy things such as rehearsal, coordinating service, not to mention the multi-threaded joint shooting and uninterrupted assembly line operation...

Li Xianyun made three outrageous demands at the same time.

1 The crew worked super fast. 2 crew multi-threaded operations. 3 The enterprise operates short and fast.

So it's not short and fast, it's Te Niang's big and heavy fast.

The volume is large, the task is heavy, and the flow is fast.

Each requirement is industry-changing.

You have to have three at the same time-this is not a rehearsal problem, that thing is also a high-input technical work.

Even with "black technology", the difficulty is too high.

Thinking about it this way, Liu Yijiang and the others didn't hit Li Xianyun's head with a guy, they really respected him as a boss.

At this moment, Li Xianyun scratched his head and said: "The traditional film and television company's operation method is not suitable for the new model, and it must be improved. It is a good thing that Yisheng Media's system construction is not perfect now, otherwise it will be particularly perfect before changing it. What a mess."

Yi Lei snorted: "This cannot be solved by system reform."

At this time, Su Haili, who had been sitting next to her, said, "It's not scary to have a large body, adding people can solve the problem."

Everyone was taken aback for a moment, and Li Xianyun's eyes showed appreciation.

Yes, adding more staff will solve the problem.

Yisheng Media now has a large volume and few types of work, which means more repetitive work and less content that needs to be coordinated, which means that efficiency can be solved by adding employees-problems that can be solved by coders are the most Simple question, not even a question.

"But it can't be like this forever. As the company grows bigger and bigger, many jobs that didn't exist before will definitely be brought up." Liu Yijiang said.

He was also a boss, and he knows very well that when a company is small in size, many problems are not problems.

But when the company is big, all the small problems will be magnified into big problems.At that time, there must be more and more departments and more and more fine-grained management.

Li Xianyun shook his head: "This is exactly what I try to avoid. The launch of the technology department will mainly focus on cooperation with external film and television companies in the future, so we should try to hand over the minutiae to others. And we, what we have to grasp is core."

Li Xianyun thought it over clearly, the first step to solve Yisheng Media's existing problems was to simplify.

Get rid of all auxiliary work as much as possible, focus on your own advantages, and then consider increasing it when it grows bigger—Ali is a rookie logistics company but he doesn’t deliver goods himself. Why?It is to control core resources and core profits, and then hand over the most troublesome but least profitable part to others.

"What about the script?" Liu Shuwen asked: "The cooperation can be handed over to others, and we have to do it ourselves."

Before the technical department can perfect the promotion, it has to make a name for itself, so the script cannot be avoided.

Li Xianyun didn't answer, but looked at Su Haili again.

Su Haili understood, thought for a while and said: "Formally establish a script review studio, and then let the public know that there is no limit to the purchase of scripts."

Li Xianyun clapped his hands: "That's right, if you see something that suits you, take it. Spend the money if you need it! You don't need to consider the subject matter and trends of the market. The Yisheng Media I plan to produce [-] films and TV shows in the next year. Movies There are not so many themes, so we can do any kind of theme, market considerations? That’s just a matter of focus.”

Three hundred movies a year!

The three of Liu Yijiang looked at each other.

Boss, you are really awesome. The expansion of this mentality is faster than the expansion of the enterprise.

Li Xianyun: Shit, I call it a grand plan!
