Chapter 586： dig a wall

What are you staring at me for?

Joseph's heart tightened when Liam looked at him, and he thought whether he hated this person.

But then he seemed to think of something, and the corner of his mouth couldn't help raising an arc.

Liam slandered in his heart: You darn, you get cheap and sell well.

However, why was the position of Group Executive Officer given to him?

Liam believes that his work is also diligent and diligent, but it is really "surprising" that there is no time to discuss and consider such a big matter.

Of course, he doesn't yet know that he has been characterized by Lehmann as a trailblazer.

Although he was dissatisfied in his heart, he did not dare to spit out a word.

Everyone knows that Lehmann's decision is rarely loose. From the fact that he does not like to research the market and analyze the potential of film production, he dares to invest in projects. It can be seen that he is very confident that his decision will not go wrong.

In fact, the project he was optimistic about did not go wrong.

This is also the reason why Firefly Pictures has developed so quickly. Liam has long been convinced by the boss's vision.

After all, among the ten film sources that Blue Butterfly Pictures captures, three of them can recover their costs, three lose money, and four make a profit. This ratio is the normal level of film and television production.

In the afternoon, Lehman took the two of them as interviewers and selected management talents in the reception room of Firefly Pictures.

Rodriguez Perlman is one of the Latinos who will be interviewed.

It seems to be just an ordinary expansion of personnel, but there are quite a few people who have been alarmed along the way.

In other words, the headhunting company acted too fast, not only digging up the top six and overseas branches, but also the management of some other studios.

For example, Rodriguez is the former Atison Entertainment executive responsible for copyright marketing.

At this moment, he is sitting in the lounge of Firefly Pictures, looking at the originally deserted room, and slowly a lot of popularity is born, and the number of people who come has not completely stopped, and he has to think about how fierce the competition is this time.

But he does need to change jobs.

Because Artison Entertainment is over.

This independent film label, established in 1982, was acquired by Lionsgate, which was expanding wildly the year before, and the old people of the original company didn’t get much reuse in the new company, Lionsgate.

Think about it, Artisan Entertainment in the 1990s also had a good time.

Produced and released many B-level films, such as "Pi", "Requiem for a Dream", "Blair Witch 2", "Center of the World"...

The most memorable also participated in Tom Cruise's film "Vanilla Sky".

However, the leader's wrong decision caused the sponsor to give up the operation of the company, and an independent label with good strength just disappeared from Hollywood.

Rodriguez scatters thoughts at will.

Next door to the waiting room, Lehman was also constantly flipping through the interview materials.

From the place of origin, age to specific work experience, which positions have been engaged in, choose the most suitable one by one.

Then, I turned to Rodriguez's resume.

It's not that this person is so powerful, but that this person has rich experience in the industry. He started from the internal affairs of the crew, worked as a producer, worked in distribution, and finally entered the management team to be responsible for copyright development. It can be said that it is comprehensive.

"Have you heard of this in the circle?" Lehmann asked with his resume.

Liam shook his head and said he didn't know, but Joseph had some impressions, "I saw him at a cocktail party in Colombia before. He often went out to run business and deal with companies in the offline market such as Blockbuster and National Home Entertainment. Looking at his resume, it's really good. ."

Lyman nodded.

Afterwards, this one was brought in by a company employee.

Rodriguez was born in 1969 and has settled in the United States for two generations of Latino.

Short stature - compared to the height of white Americans, close to 1.6 meters is indeed not tall, the face shape is somewhat oriental, that is, the bridge of the nose is not straight, black hair, thick eyebrows, and yellow skin.

Of course, many traditional white Americans who like racial discrimination often mistake Latinos for people from Japan, South Korea and China.

But Latinos are a large group that makes up one-fifth of the population in the United States, but they come from a wide variety of sources, including Latino stowaways, Arabs and Spanish-Portuguese mixed-race, and southern European mixed-race.

It is also one of the groups that are often discriminated against.

However, Latinos are still higher in the United States than Americans, second only to blacks and Italians. After all, there are many people.

"How long have you been with Lionsgate?"

"A year and a half."

"How is the treatment?"

"..."

"Looking at your resume, are you familiar with copyright operations?"

"Yes, I used to deal with these every day and research the offline market."

"Then, are you willing to serve as the department director of the Copyright Development Division under the Firefly Films Marketing Department?"

Of course Rodriguez nodded and agreed, with only one thought in his mind: go to a new environment and work hard.

His previous position at Lions Gate was a clear water place. He couldn't get involved in very important affairs on weekdays, so he just wrote a report. He had nothing to do every day, and he had no sense of accomplishment.

If you lose this job, you will lose it.

He is also willing to believe that he can do well in Firefly Pictures.

After all, he is a smart guy - he can go out to run the copyright business, and he is still a hard worker from the crew all the way. He deals with a group of people every day, exchanges interests, and researches market data. Anyone who is not a brainy person can't do this errand.

Moreover, Rodriguez has realized the intention of this Firefly expansion of management personnel.

That is because the lack of manpower really limits the development of the company.

This also means that once passed, it can be reused, and the slightly better positions will not be occupied, and the room for improvement is too small.

In fact, which studio is the easiest to build a team when a new round of recruiting is expanded.

Just because the word is scarce.

Rodriguez was delighted for a while, and immediately stated that he wanted to start work as soon as possible.

This eagerness to do things is also to Lehmann's appetite.

In fact, when Firefly was first established, the company's working atmosphere was not high. After the original Rodrien was annexed, some old people in the company had a feeling of messing around and feeling dead and unusable.

It was not until many people were dismissed and Joseph was brought in as management, and the company's performance was getting better and better, and the company became more and more promising.

Of course, this kind of expression is appreciated, and the necessary entry procedures must also be handled.

For example, in the entry regulations, in addition to stipulating salary and room for annual growth, Lehman also wrote three violations of dismissal clauses.

One is lazy and unable to do anything;

The second is corruption, stealing the company's interests. If you commit this one, you can't just get fired, at least you have to go to jail;

The third one is mediocrity and dereliction of duty. If you can't do the relevant work well, you don't need to get paid to support it, so hurry up and get out.

......

Rodriguez walked like he was ten years younger.

After leaving Firefly Pictures, he immediately went back to Lionsgate.

As soon as he returned, he hurriedly called the book office and his colleagues from Atheson who were familiar with him on weekdays.

Looking at the gathering of five or six people left and right, I felt satisfied for a while.

As someone who has run business before, he finally understands that no one under his command can do anything.

And these acquaintances are likely to help him secure a position in Firefly as soon as possible - Lehmann allows him to recruit a few employees on his own and pick up his previous network of contacts as soon as possible.

Is there a relationship network, they all run out.

In this regard, Rodriguez is still very confident. After all, he is not a newcomer in the workplace.

Rodriguez straightened his expression, neither happy nor sad, and said calmly: "I just went to Firefly Pictures."

Then he suppressed his excitement and continued to encourage: "They are in need of manpower now. Now, I plan to go there, and now I have come back specially to handle my resignation and say goodbye to everyone."

Hearing this, everyone whispered, and there was a faint meaning of following.

Without him We have worked together for a long time, and Rodriguez is also a person who is good at winning over his subordinates, and he shares many benefits on weekdays.

Moreover, as soon as he leaves, Lionsgate will adjust personnel and change heads. Even if he is working in a department that is not reused, who will not insert personal friends?

Even backing up documents and data is a job.

And these days, the pressure of employment is high, and not everyone can always find a job.

Everyone is also a human being. When they heard the boss say this, they all knew that Fireflies had a show in the past, so they all made friends and reported their qualifications, but if they didn't go, it would be a loss for Fireflies.

As a result, Lionsgate's personnel department suddenly received a number of resignation letters.

Of course, there is no reason to let it go, and it is not the core character.

As a result, a small team quickly formed, and I have to say that Rodriguez does have some skills.

Saying that we can start work as soon as possible is not bragging.
