Chapter 317 New Year, New People, New Structure

"Boss Wang, this is a new artist our agency just signed. Her name is Guli Nizha."

At the 2010 annual meeting of Galaxy Pictures, Zhuang Xueping, the general manager of Xingdou Culture, brought a few newcomers to Wang Hao and toasted him.

“And this one, Wu Jingyan, just got admitted to Beijing Film Academy last year.

This is also a newcomer to Beijing Film Academy, Li Xian."

Several newcomers held their wine glasses in a reserved manner, followed behind Zhuang Xueping, and shouted in unison: "Hello, Boss!"

Wang Hao smiled as he looked at the fresh blood in his company.

"Welcome to join the big family of Galaxy Group. There is no need for such formalities in the company. It is enough for you to study hard and perform well."

As he spoke, he clinked glasses with the three newcomers, showing his friendly attitude as a big boss.

Faced with such a friendly boss, the three newcomers were both surprised and nervous.

Fortunately, they were just minor characters. After meeting each other, the three of them were taken away by Zhuang Xueping again.

Afterwards, the outstanding newcomers from other departments, led by their respective bosses, came to Wang Hao and took a turn.

For example, Liu Le from the screenwriting department is a graduate of the Department of Literature at Tsinghua University, and Murong Jing and Zhang Kaiyun from the special effects department are also postgraduates from universities.

It can be seen that the entire Galaxy Group is now in a stage of vigorous development, and the newcomers and employees in various departments are all extremely outstanding.

Of course, this in itself also makes the Galaxy Group's treatment far higher than other film and television companies in the entertainment industry.

Not to mention anything else, just after working for a certain number of years or reaching a sufficient level, you can get a low-interest or even interest-free loan provided by the company and be eligible to purchase welfare housing built by the company. This is extremely attractive.

Not to mention that Galaxy Pictures is a rare company in the entertainment industry that pays five insurances and one fund to its employees, while also providing annual leave, sick leave, bereavement leave, marriage leave and maternity leave.

There are also holiday allowances during the holidays, and the year-end bonus is not small. With an employee card, you can go to Wanda to watch a movie at half price...

These conditions would have been considered a king bomb in later generations, let alone in 2011. It is said that during the autumn recruitment last year, the Galaxy Group had achieved its recruitment target in less than two hours.

Moreover, the company's turnover rate was an extremely low number last year, which is enough to show how much the Galaxy Group is loved by its employees.

Of course, the company’s welfare benefits are good enough and the relevant management is extremely strict.

But the same thing applies: if you pay 3,000, you have to beg your employees to work hard; if you pay 5,000, your employees will work hard for you; if you pay 10,000, then if something goes wrong, your employees will have to consider whether there is something wrong with them.

Wang Hao has devoted himself to the development of China's film and television industry and the advancement of China's film industrialization. He is not a capital boss himself.

In his eyes, all the people working with him are not his subordinates, but comrades who share the same dream as him. Therefore, Wang Hao has never had the idea of ​​exploiting them. He takes good care of these employees and the entire company is very humane.

This may be the fundamental reason why Galaxy Group has become the leading private production company in the domestic film and television industry in just five years.

Yes, the leader!

At the end of 2010, an entertainment media took inventory of domestic film and television companies and made a calculation based on the influence, revenue, company size, financial status, etc. of the films and TV series invested and produced by each company in 2010.

In the final ranking, Galaxy Group successfully topped the list thanks to the movie "The Hangover".

Yes, what helped Galaxy Group successfully reach the top was not the domestically popular "Wolf Warrior", but a not-so-famous Hollywood movie "The Hangover".

This film, co-produced by Galaxy Group in Hollywood and Columbia, was released in North America in June 2010, and subsequently grossed $6 million worldwide, equivalent to approximately 4.87 billion Chinese yuan, almost three times the box office performance of "Wolf Warriors".

The key is that the production cost of this movie is extremely low, which makes the Galaxy Group, as the main investor, earn a lot of money, and also greatly increases the wealth of Wang Hao, the new star in the entertainment industry.

Of course, at that time they didn't know that Wang Hao had bought hundreds of millions of US dollars worth of Apple and Google stocks the year before. Otherwise, based on the increase in these stocks over the past year alone, Wang Hao would have been able to squeeze into the list of China's richest people.

Of course, for Wang Hao and others, money, when it reaches a certain amount, is just a string of numbers. The key is to convert it into influence.

Therefore, after the annual meeting, Wang Hao and other senior executives of the company did not take a holiday immediately like the employees below, but made arrangements for the work of the coming year in advance.

Including more new businesses and new projects.

With money in hand and more confidence, the Galaxy Group, which has been slowly accumulating strength and focusing on development, is finally starting to stir up the muddy waters of the entertainment industry on its own.

Of course, all that will have to wait until after the Chinese New Year.

The Spring Festival of 2011 was the most lively and peaceful time in the entire Chinese entertainment industry.

There were not many blockbusters released in the film market in January, only "Creation Wars" and "New Shaolin Temple". In addition, there was a movie of the same name adapted from the TV series "Wulin Waijia" invested by Galaxy Pictures.

Therefore, more people's attention is focused on the first film of the Spider-Man Cinematic Universe, "Young Spider-Man", produced by Sony Pictures.

This new "Spider-Man" planned by Wang Hao has actually been released in North America a long time ago. Wang Hao even flew to North America to attend the premiere of the movie during Christmas.

Its reputation in Hollywood is also very good, and it has received unanimous praise from "Spider-Man" fans and film critics.

Now, during the Spring Festival in early February, this movie has finally passed the review and is released in China.

Wang Hao had already attended the movie premiere of "Young Spider-Man", so naturally he didn't want to watch it again.

But some people want to watch it.

No, it’s not that someone wants to watch it, but someone wants Wang Hao to watch it with her.

Jing Tian did not go back to her hometown this New Year, so it took a lot of determination for her to make an appointment with Wang Hao to watch a movie during the rare free time before New Year's Eve.

In the dark movie theater, young men and women sat together, watching the big screen, where Peter Parker, a freshman in high school, helped his friend fight against the gangsters who were about to demolish his house, laughing from time to time. Occasionally, when the two of them took popcorn, their fingers briefly touched each other in the bucket, sparking a spark of ambiguity.

To be honest, the plot of "Young Spider-Man" is still very good. Unlike previous "Spider-Man" origin stories, this movie focuses more on Peter Parker's living environment, presenting the living conditions of the middle and lower class people in New York, USA to the audience.

This makes the North American audience feel familiar and friendly, as if there is really a guy like Spider-Man around them.

The Chinese audience were also very surprised when they saw this scene. It turned out that the United States is not just about tall buildings and sweet air. In those bright and beautiful cities, there is also imperceptible poverty and darkness.

Of course, Wang Hao estimated that Jing Tian could not really understand much of this content.

Because in the second half of the movie, the girl kept holding Wang Hao's hand, laughing foolishly, with a happy smile on her face.

In this situation, if Wang Hao doesn't do something, he would be unmanly.

That night, after watching the movie, Jing Tian came to Wang Hao’s recently purchased villa for the first time and had a different experience.

Although Wang Hao had a lot of experience and his movements were very gentle, when that moment came, the pretty girl still frowned.

"Take it easy!"

Wang Hao gently kissed away the tears from Jing Tian's eyes and comforted her softly.

At this time, romantic music was playing in the living room outside the house, with various musical instruments, blowing, playing and singing, and the drum beats were banging non-stop, which was extremely rhythmic. It played like this all night long, and Wang Hao didn't have the energy to get up to turn it off.

With this contact, the relationship between the two sides has taken a complete step forward.

And unlike the previous girls, this time Wang Hao specially brought Jing Tian home to meet her grandparents and other relatives, and the whole family had a reunion dinner together.

To be honest, this was the first time that Wang Hao brought a girl home for dinner. Wan Qian, the only girl he had a confirmed relationship with before, did not receive this treatment.

When the old couple saw Jing Tian, ​​they were so happy that the wrinkles on their faces were smoothed out by their smiles.

After all, their grandson is almost 30 years old now and has not yet married. It would be a lie for the old people to say that they are not in a hurry.

Now that Wang Hao can bring back such a beautiful and generous girlfriend, they are naturally relieved.

As for Jing Tian, ​​she was also very happy. After all, Wang Hao was willing to bring her to meet his family, which in itself was an unspoken statement.

The year 2010 came to an end in an atmosphere of peace and joy, and the new year finally arrived.

At the beginning of the new year, everything is new. Wang Hao rested at home for a few days, indulged himself with Jing Tian who had just enjoyed the joy of love, and then returned to his busy work.

Like him, the Galaxy Group has also resumed its busy life, and the tasks arranged before the Spring Festival are now being implemented.

The first is the company’s new business expansion.

With the growing expansion of Galaxy Group and the financing of Galaxy Pictures, the originally intertwined businesses of the companies naturally need to be more clearly divided.

In addition to mature businesses such as production, special effects, artist management and copyright, Galaxy Group also needs to open up some new growth points.

Therefore, after the beginning of the year, Galaxy Group made certain adjustments to the organizational structure of the entire company, dividing the entire group into "six departments" and "five groups."

Among these, the "six departments" are the core of the company's operation, including: Finance Department, Legal Affairs Department, Social Relations Department, Government Relations Department, Human Resources Department and Capital Operations Department.

The six departments are not responsible for the company's specific project operations, but their main focus is on managing and serving other business groups.

As for the "five major" business groups, they mainly refer to the business groups that are gathered together according to the similarities of the various businesses involved in the Galaxy Group.

The core of these businesses are the [Film and Television Production Business Group], including Galaxy Pictures Production Company, Starlight Fantasy Special Effects Company, Xingdou Culture Agency Company, Galaxy Music Co., Ltd. and Good Production Network.

Most of this business group are the main businesses of Galaxy Group in the past, which are mainly responsible for the production of film and television dramas, as well as artist brokerage and management of behind-the-scenes staff. However, many of them have also been divested and split up by the company.

For example, Xingdou Culture Agency originally had two parts. One was the offline agency entity, which mainly consisted of agents, assistants and contracted personnel, and the other was the online Good Production Network.

This website was originally used to display the status of people signed by the agency, as well as to publish recruitment and casting information for some film and television projects.

Later, as the Galaxy Group grew bigger and bigger, the agency signed more and more people, and the functions of the Good Production Network gradually increased, which also led to the management of Xingdou Culture Agency becoming more bloated.

This restructuring separated Hao Production Network and divided it into the [Film and Television Production Business Group] as an independent company.

In addition to the core [Film and Television Production Business Group], the other four business groups are [Consumer Products Business Group], [Content and Culture Business Group], [Film and Television Media Business Group] and [Asset Management Business Group].

The [Consumer Products Business Group] is mainly responsible for the development of peripheral products for the film and television projects of the [Film and Television Production Business Group], including Xingle Toys Company responsible for the toys, Xinghe Clothing Company responsible for clothing and accessories, Xinggou Company responsible for multi-platform online shopping stores and offline store sales, as well as one of the new businesses that Xinghe Group will expand this year - games.

As an entertainment industry, games can be said to play a vital role in the Internet era.

In China's Internet market, many companies have even risen rapidly because of games, such as the famous Shanda, NetEase, Tencent, Giant and Perfect World, all of which started out as games.

Therefore, games, especially online games, are often referred to as "cash cows" and are an indispensable part of many Internet companies.

The Galaxy Group also has a great advantage in game development, which is that it has a rich IP copyright library.

Not to mention anything else, the movie "Wolf Warrior" released last year alone is enough to imitate "Counter-Strike" and develop a shooting competitive online game.

In addition, games like "Taken", "The Man from Nowhere" and "Source Code" can also be developed into stand-alone games.

Not to mention Wang Hao's upcoming "Inception", which involves multiple dreams, there is no problem making it into a stand-alone masterpiece and selling it overseas.

The Galaxy Group not only has such plans, but is actually already doing it.
