Hollywood legendary director

Benjamin Joseph is not very old, only 39 years old, which is a good age to display his talents.

However, the person looks a bit old. If it weren't for the birth record of the headhunting company, it would be more than 40 years old, almost 50, it would definitely not make people doubt.

He is tall, he is not fat, and looks very gentle, but his face is not good, which is a bit ruining the overall look and feel.

To be more specific, it was an old man with a round face whose age was completely inconsistent with his face.The hair is a bit gray, and the hairline is quite worrying, as if it is going to the Mediterranean.

Several people met at a restaurant in Hollywood.

He is wearing a black suit and glasses.

Just as Lyman was looking at Joseph, Joseph was also watching him.

Many people in Hollywood may not pay too much attention to Firefly Pictures. After all, compared to Lyman, the director's talents revealed, a small company founded does not deserve much attention.

Benjamin Joseph didn’t care at first, but when the headhunting company contacted him, he also went to learn about the company. The predecessor Rodrian Films has also been established for five or six years, and its development has been slow, and it can even be said that it does not operate. .

But it is such a small company with only basics. In the hands of Lehman, the performance was quite good in just half a year. The production and development of series such as "Chain Saw" is enough to explain too many problems.

At least, as a director, Lehman not only has excellent directing ability, but also has his own advantages in the choice of film projects.

He has been in a TV station since the early 1990s and has been in the entertainment industry for nearly 13 years. He is well-informed, but there are very few directors with such a good vision.There is a template similar to George Lucas, Steven Spielberg and others.

It's just that Lehman succeeded faster and younger.

The two looked at each other before Benjamin Joseph stretched out his hand and said, "Hello, Mr. Lyman."

"Hello." Lyman smiled at him and nodded in greeting.

This person's resume is really good, and he is the most needed management talent for Firefly Pictures.

Moreover, it happened to leave the job, which is just a window of work.

As the referrer of the headhunting company, Johnson said in a lively atmosphere: "Sit down, everyone."

After they were seated, Lyman pushed the menu to Joseph and said, "You can order."

Joseph was not welcome, and ordered two dishes at random, and gave them to Lyman.

Subsequently, several people began to chat.

Both sides are tempted.

Joseph exclaimed, "Mr. Lehmann, your company is developing very fast."

Lehman smiled: "It's not bad. The success of "Chain Saw" and "Micro Love" has also stabilized the company."

Then he said: "Actually, what I am best at is filming. The daily management of the company is very difficult. I need someone to help me."

Here comes the temptation gradually into the topic.

Benjamin Joseph was thinking about finding a job, and with his qualifications, this aspect is not difficult.If you agree to meet, it also means to investigate.

So he also asked: "Does Mr. Lyman have any plans for the future of Firefly Pictures?"

"I dare not say what the future will be like?" Lehman was very practical. "I just want to make the company bigger and stronger."

"Pure production?"

"No, no, the issue of this piece has become the company's next development focus. We have been working hard."

"Sounds good."

"Of course, Mr. Joseph, I sincerely invite you to join Firefly Pictures. If you are willing to come, I think the chief executive of Firefly Pictures' administrative department belongs to you."

Hearing about the position arrangement, Joseph was not at all moved. During his time at MGM, his position in the industry was not much better than that of a new-generation small company like Firefly, and his intention was by no means a simple company position to impress. of.

"Also, if you can come, a basic annual salary of 400,000 plus a 5% bonus for department performance."

This is very practical. Salary will always be the standard for consideration.

Previously, Joseph's annual salary at MGM was only 200,000. With various related incentives, the annual income after tax was only the income of the general management of large companies, roughly around 400,000.

Lehman also knew that if he wanted to impress a manager with a rich resume, he must start with salary.

He doesn't intend to be stingy, and the basic salary is set to a satisfactory figure, not to mention the performance reward can be calculated separately. The income exceeds the MGM period, or even doubles the income, it is not a big problem.

"May I know what the company's administrative department is like? The staff?"

Joseph's attitude really changed significantly.

He doesn’t have a great liking for Firefly Pictures. He only thinks that the potential is good, but it is not the kind of gesture that needs to be added. After all, he has no shortage of similar jobs, so why not choose a company with more room for growth It.

Therefore, only salary is the condition that can really move him.

He is indeed very satisfied with this possible annual salary.

"I don't want to hide it from you. At present, all departments of the company are short of staff, and the administrative department is the same. If you take office, you may have to trouble you to handle many tasks alone. However, I have been hiring people." Finally, Lehman One more sentence.

"How many are there?"

"With you, there are only five in total."

Joseph had a headache, which reminded him of the situation when he was in the British branch. The entire company was also short of manpower. The key headquarters did not have high expectations for these branches, and only required that they could cooperate with the head office to release movies.

It was also at that time that he was busy every day, but the busier he felt, the more meaningless he would resign.

Thinking of this, he wanted to get up and leave, but when he thought of the basic annual salary of 400,000 US dollars and the fact that Firefly Pictures is still a start-up, the shortage of manpower can be forgiven, so he gritted his teeth and nodded: "Thank you Mr. Lehman for your trust. I am willing. Join Firefly Pictures and do your job."

Lehman smiled and said: "You are welcome to join. If you can, please go through the entry formalities as soon as possible. Also, you can handle the recruitment of the department yourself. There is also a very urgent job, which may be your current job. The most important thing is to re-include the company's employees' data and set a suitable room for growth."

Well, I can finally relax.

Lyman looked at the back of Joseph leaving, feeling very wonderful.

Such an experienced person, and it seems that he is quite pragmatic, if he entrusts the daily management of the entire company to him, it will also free himself from the company's various trivial matters.
