Hexagonal God

Chapter 520 Scenic Area Management and Action Movie
Su Mo stayed in the film and television city for more than ten days.

This area is so huge that it would take Su Mo a whole day to visit every scenic spot.

Except for the Ming and Qing Palaces and the ancient city of Chang'an, we visited the other six attractions and then formulated many management rules.

Although Su Mo mainly took over the film and television city, he also knew that there were more than 20 subsidiaries under the film and television city.

These subsidiaries include film and television location shooting bases, external tourist attractions, hotels, tourist marketing companies, decoration companies, security companies, cleaning companies, etc.

The film and television city has nearly 2,000 employees, and its subsidiaries have more than 6,000 employees. There are also some temporary workers, such as informal security guards and scenic area cleaners.

There are too many people, and the internal management of the scenic area must keep up.

First, Su Mo changed the name of Hengdian Film and Television City to Su Tang Group Hengdian Film and Television City.

It is still called Hengdian to the outside world, but the official name has been changed.

Most of the personnel of all subsidiaries were retained, but some company names were cancelled.

For example, some security companies were directly merged into the Su Tang Security Department.

Some of the real estate properties under the subsidiary, which are related to the film and television industry, have been incorporated into Su Tang Pictures.

All personnel who are willing to stay will be officially incorporated into Su Tang Group and become a member of Su Tang Group.

To be precise, it is a member of Su Tang Pictures, a subsidiary of Su Tang Entertainment.

The employees here are generally welcoming and even very excited about Su Mo taking over the Hengdian Film and Television City.

Compared to the declining Hengdian Group, Su Mo will definitely have greater development and opportunities if he takes over here.

In addition to the nearly 10,000 people under Su Mo, there are many other people in the entire film and television city.

For example, there are more than 10,000 crew members here.

There are also some performing arts teams that hold various performances in the film and television city every day and sell tickets to the public. These people are not stars, but they are also in the entertainment industry. There are quite a few of them, as many as three to four thousand.

There are more than 2,000 businesses operating nearby, all of which rely on the film and television city for their survival. There are not only high-end, mid-range and low-end restaurants, but also various types of business hotels, large, medium and small supermarkets, as well as some screening rooms, recording studios, photography studios, various law firms, travel agencies, e-commerce and so on.

These businesses add up to about 60,000 to 70,000 people, and there are an average of more than 100,000 people working here every day.

In addition, there are 20,000 to 30,000 tourists arriving every day, plus some delivery people, taxi drivers, black intermediaries, and even some peripheral personnel in the entertainment industry, etc. The entire film and television city is overcrowded.

Especially after Su Mo took over, the passenger flow of the film and television city showed an explosive growth trend.

On the first day, we received more than 20,000 tourists, on the second day it exceeded 30,000, and on the third day it exceeded 50,000.

In the following days, the ticket revenue remained stable at more than 50,000, and sometimes even reached 70,000 or 80,000. The daily ticket revenue was about 20 million.

However, this also forced the film and television city to add more staff, increase the number of security guards, provide docking services for tour guides, etc.

The police station in the film and television city has also expanded its staff. A police office has been set up in each scenic area. The entire police station has expanded to more than 80 people, and it is said that there are plans to set up a branch.

When Su Mo was working, he had to connect with some government departments. As the owner of a film and television city, he had an obligation to cooperate with the work of government departments.

For example, the public security department, industrial and commercial department, tax department, fire department, food hygiene department, tourism bureau, investment promotion bureau, price bureau, development and reform commission, cultural department, network monitoring department, etc.

Su Mo delegated most of this kind of work to his employees. He would only go to receive the leader in person when he came, otherwise he would be too busy.

Su Mo set up a collection team to collect previous debts.

Maybe it’s because Su Mo’s reputation is too great, and now that the film and television city is private, most people will obediently pay back the money.

Some of the deadbeats were directly handed over to local police and court officials.

Su Tang's legal team played a big role in debt collection. The total amount of debt owed to the film and television city was 1.6 billion yuan. In just seven days, more than 700 million yuan was collected, which was considered a small recovery for Su Mo.

Su Mo also let people from Su Tang Travel Company move in. Su Tang Travel Company had not yet officially started operations, but had been constantly recruiting and conducting emergency training.

The key is that Su Mo's expansion speed is too fast. Hengdian is now Su Mo's own, so the tourism industry here must give priority to the company's tour guides.

As soon as the Hengdian branch of Su Tang Travel Company was established, many local tour guides came to work there, and recruiting staff was not a problem at all.

Hengdian is a major tourist attraction with a wide variety of ticket prices. Some locals who take a two-day tour can only visit a small part of Hengdian.

Su Mo also re-standardized the ticket prices. For example, the ticket for a two-day tour is 400 yuan, and you can choose any two attractions. The ticket for a three-day tour is 500 yuan, and you can choose any three attractions.

There is a slight reduction in ticket prices. After all, this thing is here, and the price is generally very favorable.

Su Mo had done a lot of things over the past few days, such as replacing all the key department managers of the scenic area with people who had a high enough favorable impression of him, and cleaning out some people who had a low favorable impression of him, as well as some people who had received a lot of complaints and often abused their power to enrich themselves. Now this was his private enterprise, and anyone who wanted to make some dirty money from it was paying out of his own pocket. Su Mo would not turn a blind eye. The scenic area must be clean, and the people's hearts must be clean too.

Recruit personnel when necessary and streamline personnel when necessary.

Unreasonable ones were abolished and reasonable ones were quickly put into place.

All the companies that rely on the film and television city for survival need to renegotiate their contracts. Previous favors are of no use to Su Mo.

Su Mo stayed here for about half a month. After calculating the income and expenditure, he was surprised to find that the film and television city's revenue and profit were not small.

The venue fees and various fees collected from external crews, the shops rented out, the share of various related performance fees, the ticket revenue brought in by scenic spots, the catering and accommodation of subsidiaries, and the rental of some clothing and equipment, etc., all bring in daily turnover of around 40 million.

After deducting related expenses, the net profit is basically stable between 8 million and 10 million.

The monthly revenue of more than 200 million yuan is stable, which is something that the old Hengdian could never achieve.

Su Mo even knew that even in 23 years, Hengdian's financial statements showed that their annual operating income was 23.5 billion and their net profit was 1.66 million.

But the reality is that even before Su Mo took over, Hengdian's revenue was more than this.

It can be seen how much gray income there is and how much money has been lost due to embezzlement.

The numbers in those reports are not credible, and a lot of things are concealed.

Maybe it was to avoid taxes, but Su Mo didn't do that. When the finance department reported the revenue situation, they even asked Su Mo if they should do something to allow the boss to pay less tax.

Su Mo directly rejected the proposal. Although the employee was kind-hearted, he really didn't need it.

It is becoming easier and easier to make money, and it is a good thing to make more contributions to the country.

Even if full tax is paid, Hengdian can still bring Su Mo about 230 million yuan in income every month. Why does he need so much money?

And is this the main point for him to make money?

No, in the film and television industry, the ones who can really make money are these employees.

The employees signed by Su Tang Film have arrived one after another. During this period, Su Mo has been making frequent moves. He actively accepts employees with potential, resolutely rejects some artists with bad records, and directly brings in some people who are still hesitant.

For example, Wu Jing.

The big-name actor in domestic action movies was also officially poached by Su Mo and brought to Su Tang Pictures.

After seeing Su Mo, this glamorous action star whom Su Mo would see many times on the big screen later, felt a little tense and not very relaxed.

There is some admiration and some wariness towards Su Mo.

"Su Shen, I've actually wanted to come to Su Tang Films for a long time, but I had an idea that I wanted to try my hand at directing. So, I don't know how to do this, so I haven't made a decision yet."

Hearing Wu Jing's words, Su Mo immediately asked with concern: "Do you want to shoot a TV series or a movie?"

"For the film, a lot of things have actually been planned a long time ago."

"Oh, what's the subject?"

"It's a military-themed film, and I'm planning to call it Wolf Warrior. For this film, I even spent 18 months in the army, getting a solid feel for military life. A lot of the preparations are almost done, but funding is a bit of a challenge, so the progress is a bit slow."

Su Mo nodded slightly after listening, and then took the initiative to say to Wu Jing: "That's fine, the company will cover all your expenses. As for the company, we can give you two contracts, one is the company's director contract, and the other is the actor contract. As a director, you will get a director's salary and a share of the movie box office. As an actor, you will also get an actor's share. As for the risks, I will bear them. What do you think?"

When Wu Jing heard the news, she was stunned.

"Then how much will that company get?"

When Wu Jing said this, her body was slightly tense.

It can be seen that he cares about this issue very much, and Su Mo immediately felt it.

He was probably afraid that he was a vampire and that someone would take too much of his box office share.

But Su Mo would not do that. The box office of Wolf Warrior 1, directed by Wu Jing, was over 500 million after its release, and Su Mo did not think much of this money.

Later, this person shot films such as Wolf Warrior 2, The Wandering Earth, The Battle at Lake Changjin, The Watergate Bridge, etc., which became representatives of high box office success.

However, the scope of those movies is a bit wide, and now Su Mo can give him a push to achieve a win-win situation.

While making money and promoting the company, Wu Jing also made more money and advanced the progress of the film faster.
