Reborn since 2005

While Yan Xin was walking around in the capital, he met Zeng Yan several times.

During this period, the film and television company made several investments, and there was another investment worth tens of millions. Yan Xin remembered the name, so he could invest with confidence.

In addition, there are several million-level investments, and someone else's plan has something to do with Zeng Yan, so she was brought in.

Zeng Yan herself was not sure whether the project would make money, but she was too embarrassed to refuse, so she just invested a small amount of money in it and introduced a small character who could appear in a few episodes, which was also considered as building a network of contacts.

After the company was established, we signed a few artists and tried to see if we could support them.

They are all newcomers who don't have much money. Whether their acting skills are good or not is not that important. The main thing is whether their image is good or not.

The man is handsome and the woman is beautiful.

The purpose of signing them is of course to promote them into big stars, which will bring huge profits to the company.

But it's not a big problem if they can't become a big star. They can do some public relations activities and bring out their value.

After all, the good looks are there.

Now I just introduce them to some minor supporting roles and hone them. When the company invests in a certain project as the main force in the future, they can become the protagonists.

The projects invested are all TV series, some are already being filmed, some are still in preparation, and none of them have brought profits yet.

But Yan Xin didn't care about this.

His request to Zeng Yan was that all investment projects should be reviewed by him and he would determine how much to invest.

An investment of more than 10 million must be a film and television work that he has an impression of.

He didn't watch many TV series in his previous life, and the ones he could remember must be very popular TV series. It was basically equivalent to making money. The more investment, the better.

Now the film and television company doesn't have much money, but it doesn't matter. If there is any project that can make big money, he can still come up with the money.

At present, the investment in film and television works is not very large, so you don’t need to invest too much money.

Because of the existence of this film and television investment company, Zeng Yan's status in the circle has risen a bit.

After all, the boss behind her is a boss who is engaged in both the Internet and real estate.

This company is not large and can only be regarded as a small company, but the boss behind it is a billionaire, which means that he can spend more money to enter this industry in the future.

That would be extraordinary.

In the eyes of many people, Yan Xin has become as big a fat sheep as the coal boss and can be deceived.

The people at the head of this industry are all glamorous and can easily obtain a lot of wealth.

But for this industry, it is in a state of shortage of money. It is always short of money.

To save a project, you need to find many investors to get enough funds.

Many times, I use my influence to go to many companies to beg for help.

If a promising billionaire is willing to invest in this industry, it will certainly be warmly welcomed.

It's just that Yan Xin doesn't like to participate in entertainment industry activities.

In this case, Zeng Yan, as his spokesperson in this industry, naturally received more attention.

At present, the company's investments are all in TV series, and it has not invested in the film industry.

The main reason is because domestic movies are not very good now, and it is difficult to attract people to the cinema.

The box office may be good, but just a few big directors may not be able to make money.

There are quite a lot of people investing in such a project, and there is basically no shortage of investment. It is not something that a small company like Zeng Yan can squeeze in.

Most of the movies during this period were commercial hits, so there was really no need to invest in them.

There are some movies that are not even eligible for release after they are made.

In comparison, filming a TV series is better.

But one time when Zeng Yan met Yan Xin, she mentioned a movie project, which made Yan Xin interested.

The investment required for that film project was not large, only about ten million.

But Yan Xin remembers that the box office of that movie seemed to be quite good after it was released, exceeding 3 million.

He had also seen that movie in his previous life, of course, not in a cinema, but in a pirated version.

I didn’t expect that this project would find Zeng Yan.

It was a love movie based on a novel.

During this meeting, Zeng Yan came just for this project.

She was obviously well prepared, and she even brought the original novel over to let her boss know that this was a movie that had a chance to make money.

And the investment is not big, so you can consider it.

Her preparations were of little use. After Yan Xin heard her mention the name of the movie, he had already made a decision to invest.

Why not invest in projects that can make money?

But he can't just talk about investing when he hears a name. This seems to make him, the boss, too hasty in his decision-making.

Instead, he pretended to ask who the director was and who the actors were.

This project was originally planned by the director after reading the diary novel. Some of the actors were cast and some were not.

The director is not a well-known director, and the actors he has appointed are not actors with box-office appeal.

Zeng Yan spoke carefully, only introducing that they had potential, and more importantly, that the script of this project was excellent, the actors' acting skills were passable, and the cost was not high. Under normal circumstances, the cost could be recovered.

And they don’t need to bear all the production costs. Even if they lose money, they won’t lose much.

But being able to establish connections with people in the film industry is also worth it.

"How much investment do they want from us?" Yan Xin asked.

"The range from one million to five million is fine." Zeng Yan said.

"Can we arrange for characters to go in?" Yan Xin asked again.

Zeng Yan said with some embarrassment: "This is a movie, and the requirements for acting skills are relatively high. Those signed by our company may not meet that standard. Forcing people to join may lower the quality of the film..."

Yan Xin smiled.

This is actually a truth.

He has seen all the artists signed by the company. They are good-looking, but they don't look very spiritual.

At least at this stage, there is really no acting skills to speak of.

Of course, the company's goal is not to train them to be actors, but to develop into idols.

He asked: "Can you arrange a few small roles? Those that are not that important and don't have many roles?"

Zeng Yan breathed a sigh of relief: "As long as we invest and arrange a few small roles, it won't be a big problem."

"Then vote." Yan Xin said.

"So what's the appropriate amount to invest?" Zeng Yan asked again.

"Throw in as much money as they need." Yan Xin said domineeringly.

Once you determine a project that can make money, you can definitely invest with confidence. The more you invest, the more you will earn.

"Then..." Zeng Yan asked tentatively, "Shall we invest five million?"

"Okay." Yan Xin said.

Zeng Yan was immediately happy.

She feels this project will not lose money.

I haven't thought about how much money I want to make, as long as I don't lose money.

Testing the waters of the film industry through this project and expanding one’s connections is the most important thing.

The total investment requirement for this project is about 10 million.

Their company invested 500 million, and the right to speak it gained was different. The boss supported her in doing this, which made her very happy and felt that she was one step closer to her dream.

She had prepared a lot of theories to convince her boss, but none of them were used. The amount of investment her boss agreed to was much larger than she expected, which surprised her.

But at the same time, she also has some admiration - she is worthy of being a boss, and her investment vision is so accurate. Her boss does not hesitate to invest in every project that she is very optimistic about, and she always seeks to obtain more investment shares.

As for some projects that she herself was not sure of, her boss was more cautious in the amount of investment given, and some even rejected them outright.

I don’t know how to make a judgment.

On the other side, Yan Xin actually admired this woman and thought she had a good vision in choosing investment projects.

He was able to make those judgments without hesitation because of the memory of his previous life.

Of course, we know what the outcome will be for something that has already happened.

Zeng Yan doesn't have the ability to predict things like him, but she can accurately select some feasible projects and strongly recommend them to herself, which is very rare.

Is a professional talent.

After talking about the investment, Zeng Yan asked him if he wanted to get together with the main creative staff of this movie?

If she had such an idea, she could arrange it.

——Having accounted for half of the investment in the project, I do have the qualifications to have a meal with the main creative staff.

However, Yan Xin still refused.

According to his memory, the heroine was a married woman. Although she would divorce her husband in the future, at least she was still loving her now.

Moreover, her appearance is quite average among female celebrities, not what he likes, so there is no need to meet her.

In his memory, the male protagonist is also a married man. Although he will divorce that woman in the future, he still behaves very affectionately and even shows affection on variety shows.

Of course, this is not important at all.

It's not the star he chases, so we can only chat awkwardly when we meet. It's better not to meet and save the trouble.

If you arrange for Tianxian Sister to meet for a meal or something, you can't refuse.

Even if people are out of town, they still have to come here.

But thinking about the results of the films that Tianxian Sister has participated in, I feel that this aspect is not necessary.

When meeting Zeng Yan, Yan Xin always had the feeling that this woman seemed to be trying to seduce him.

I don’t know if it’s my own imagination.

Maybe people who have been in this circle for a long time are more open-minded and are very casual about those things.

Anyway, he has no intention of having sex with the other party.

The age gap is a bit big, with a gap of more than ten years, which he really can't accept.

Although this woman seemed to be pretty good-looking and well-maintained, sometimes she could see the wrinkles on her face when she smiled, which made him have no ambiguous thoughts.

No matter whether the other party has the idea of ​​​​seduce him or not, he just doesn't accept the move anyway.

He knew that Zeng Yan's biggest idea was to set up a film and television production company and artist management company, instead of just investing in film and television projects like now.

He also did not forget to draw a cake for her, telling her that as long as the company's performance was good, she could try to engage in film and television production in the future.

But in fact, he didn't really think so.

He knows which movies and TV shows will make big money in the future.

However, in the timeline of the future in the previous life, there was no film and television company like his, and naturally there could be no film and television works produced by his company.

It was created after he was reborn, and it was something he could not foresee. There was no way to know whether the works produced by this company would be popular and whether they could make money.

It would be very painful if a scam like Legend of the Gods were created and hundreds of millions of investments were wasted.

Unless you have so much money that you can't spend it all, and you don't care if you lose hundreds of millions or billions, then you can produce your own film and television works.

However, the cake still has to be painted.

He can't even draw cakes, so he really can't be considered a qualified boss.

He stayed in the capital until mid-December, then went to Jincheng, and finally met Xiao Shiyu, who was expanding the market there.

Although Xiao Shiyu advised him not to go there, he said that he didn't have time to accompany him after he did.

But he was still a little worried, so he finally passed.

Before setting off, he also called Xiao Shiyu and told her his flight.

After getting off the plane, Xiao Shiyu also drove over to greet him.

After not seeing each other for several months, Xiao Shiyu lost a lot of weight.

The skin that was tanned in the summer has now returned to its original state, but it looks a little thin and haggard.

"You're working too hard like this. You still have to give yourself more time to rest."

This is what he told Xiao Shiyu after they met.

Xiao Shiyu smiled: "Come here to see you, that's rest."

Then he said seriously: "Actually, you don't have to worry so much. I know my own body and I can still bear it. I also went to the hospital for a comprehensive examination some time ago. All the indicators were okay. What's the disease?" nothing."

She didn't lie about this. She did not find any disease during the examination at the hospital.

It's just that the indicators are not very good, and he is in a sub-healthy state.

The doctor's advice to her was to get more rest.

But she won't tell Yan Xin this.

Now is a very critical time for the company. There are some things that she really can't trust her subordinates to do, so she can only do them herself.

But she also promised Yan Xin that this state would last for a month at most and would end by the end of the year, and she would go home for the New Year.

You can have a good rest during the Chinese New Year.

Now her main job is to train the team.

In the past, the crazy expansion of the market resulted in a serious shortage of management personnel. Often, as long as one or two months of work experience was given, one would be entrusted with important tasks and become the person in charge of a certain point.

In a short period of time, there were no big problems, but as time went on, there were more problems.

It greatly hindered their hindrance and affected their reputation.

Now is the time to standardize and rectify it.

If it can be corrected, correct it.

If it really doesn't work, remove it and replace it with one that performs better.

As the saying goes, one soldier is raging, and a general is raging in a nest.

Only when the leader is excellent can the team below perform well.

Under such standardization and rectification, the overall quality of the team has been improved.

In the past few months, Xiao Shiyu's rectification of the workplace has been effective.

Just too tired.

It's easy to know which leaders are not qualified. You can tell by looking at their performance and reputation.

But it’s not that easy to know who are outstanding. It requires a deep understanding of the people on the team to be able to do it.

We can only train and observe at the same time.

Not only are people tired, but their hearts are also tired.

No wonder she became a lot more haggard.

The only thing that can comfort her is better and better performance.
