Chapter 701: The Problem of Praising People

At around three o'clock in the afternoon, Yan Xin left the airport in Beijing.

Feng Xi was still at school at this time and had no time to pick him up.

The person who came to pick him up was Zeng Yan, who came in a car.

Zeng Yan is in a good mood now, with more confidence on her face.

Her confidence came from the TV series starring Yang Mi that she initially invested in.

Because that TV series made her money.

That TV series was launched during the Spring Festival, and the ratings were very high. It easily became the number one TV series in the ratings, and it also aroused heated discussions on the Internet.

The first round was broadcast on Mango Channel, ranking first in ratings during the same period.

And this kind of data also makes the second-round broadcast rights sell well.

Of course, it also brought considerable profits to Starlight Film and Television Investment Company, one of the investors.

Not much investment, lots of profits.

The only regret is that they invested only 10 million in this project and could only get a small part of the profit.

If you can invest a little more money, you can earn more.

But no matter what, I still made money after all.

It is certainly a happy thing to make a lot of money on the first project you invest in.

The investment dividends have been credited to the account.

Money will come in later.

Moreover, because this series has relatively high ratings, the creative team is already preparing to make a sequel.

This time, Starlight Film and Television Investment Company is still involved in the investment.

There are many people who want to participate in investing in the sequel, but the team will still give priority to previous investors.

Especially for Starlight Film and Television Investment Company, they only invest money and do not interfere with the production of content, which saves the team a lot of trouble.

Although a few people were promoted to join the crew, they were all insignificant supporting roles and did not have any important roles.

This is very rare.

This time their investment share was higher than last time.

The popularity of this TV series is still there, and it is foreseeable that if the sequel is launched, it will also attract a lot of attention. As long as the level of the first part can be maintained, the ratings will not be low.

With the popularity of the first part, the price of the second part can be higher.

The investment in the sequel was also approved by Yan Xin - because in his memory, the sequel of that TV series was also quite popular.

Some of the projects invested last year have come to fruition one after another.

Within two or three months, two TV series they have invested in will be launched.

Those two TV series couldn't make any money, but with the success of this project, their investment was still profitable.

The successful investment of this project not only brought profits to the company, but also proved Zeng Yan’s investment vision and ability.

In her opinion, this is more important than making money.

She also felt more confident in front of Yan Xin.

——Although this project was ultimately decided by Yan Xin, she was the one who found the project and recommended the company to invest in it. The biggest credit lies with her.

With Yan Xin, she proved that she could bring profits to the company.

Inexplicably, I felt my waist became a little stiffer.

Of course, it didn't mean that she swelled in front of Yan Xin.

It's just that my mentality is not as humble as before.

I used to worry that I would be kicked out by my boss if I didn't prove my worth.

Not so worried now.

Of course, the attitude towards the boss is still respectful.

She understands that the abilities she possesses are nothing compared to capital.

——In front of her, Yan Xin, who has assets worth billions, is undoubtedly capital.

It's just that Yan Xin doesn't regard himself as a capitalist in his heart. He thinks that he is a person who is very short of money.

I want to do this but I don’t have enough money. I want to do that but I also don’t have enough money. Most of the time, I’m thinking about how to raise more funds.

He does not have the awareness that he is a capitalist, nor does he have the arrogance of a rich man, nor does he feel that he is superior to others.

Zeng Yan felt humble in front of him. That was because she had put herself in a humble position.

Yan Xin didn't think she was such a humble person.

When facing her, I was still quite polite.

This time, he could clearly feel that Zeng Yan had a lot more confidence, and he also knew that it was because he had made money for the company, and of course he was happy in his heart.

Although the little money earned from this project is nothing to him, the more such projects, the more money the company will make, its reputation will be bigger, and there will be more investment opportunities in the future. You can slowly develop and grow in this industry.

That's a good momentum.

Although the overall scale of this industry is just that, it is far worse than the game industry.

But if you can gain a foothold in this industry, you can still make some money.

What worries him even more is the traffic this industry can bring.

As the scale grows, more stars can be cultivated in the future, and those stars are the walking traffic.

They may not have so many channels to monetize their traffic, but Yan Xin does.

He has a live streaming platform.

He owns an e-commerce company.

It even has its own e-commerce platform.

These all require traffic.

Traffic can also be monetized.

If this film and television company can create that traffic, it can save him a lot of money.

In the car, Zeng Yan told Yan Xin something.

Among the artists signed by our company, there was a beautiful girl who played the role of a palace maid in Yang Mi's TV series. She had a role in about two or three episodes, and the total appearance time was about ten minutes, and then she was spotted by an advertiser. , I received a clothing advertisement, the price was 100,000, I shot a short advertisement and a set of photos, which will be posted on the Internet.

There were several artists sent by the company to participate in that TV series, and they were all inconspicuous roles.

That's the only one who gets such a contract.

Of course, it's not because of how good the acting is. There is no opportunity to show off acting skills at all - and indeed there is no acting skills at all.

There is only one reason to be favored by others - to be beautiful. There are also discussions about her on the Internet, and the discussion is also about her appearance. The evaluation is that a palace maid is more beautiful than the empress.

When Zeng Yan talked about this with Yan Xin, she had only one purpose:
"She is somewhat popular now and seems to be popular with the audience. Will the company support her in the future?"

Now Starlight Film and Television Investment Company is a small company in the entertainment industry, with little status at all.

If Zeng Yan hadn't been in this circle for so long and accumulated some contacts, she wouldn't even have been able to find opportunities to invest in projects.

Among those investment projects, they only occupy a small share.

If you want to arrange an important role in an investment project, you really don’t have the qualifications right now.

Even for the project of Brother Shan Zheng, who has a leading investment position, others are not willing to arrange roles for them.

A new company is not that worthy of attention.

But if they develop and gradually gain status, and some of the film and television projects they lead in the future will receive more investment, and more people in the industry will rely on them for food, then they can assign some important roles to their own artists and put them Become a star.

The girl she was talking about was named Mo Yingying. Yan Xin had an impression that she was a girl in her early twenties. She was indeed pretty, with fair skin and a tall figure.

However, in his memory of his previous life, there was no such person in the entertainment industry.

This gave him some hesitation as to whether to praise it or not.

If it is red, he will definitely be impressed.

There is no impression at all, which means that in the original time and space, this girl has disappeared from everyone and has no chance to become popular.

On the other hand, it also shows that this girl has no future.

Not just because you are beautiful, you will be able to be praised.

There are many beautiful women in this circle who have never become popular.

Some are even box office poison.

Yan Xin is not investing for love, and of course he doesn't want his company to be a box office poison. Wouldn't that be digging a hole for himself?
But on the other hand, this girl named Mo Yingying is a contracted artist of their company, but this company was founded by him, and there was no such company in his previous life.

Perhaps, in the original time and space, without the existence of this company, this girl named Mo Yingying would have no chance to enter the entertainment industry, let alone get the chance to perform in that popular TV series, so naturally she would not be able to Get red.

If that's the case, it's not necessarily unappreciable.

After hesitating for a while, he asked: "Is her acting good?"

Zeng Yan was a little embarrassed: "As for acting, she often receives acting training, but after all, she is not a professional and does not have much time for training. There is nothing outstanding about her acting skills."

"She is young and beautiful. She can act in idol dramas, but she doesn't need any outstanding acting skills." Yan Xin smiled, "What I want to ask is, are her acting skills up to the level of an idol drama actor?"

Zeng Yan thought for a while: "Let's see who we compete with."

The tone was not so sure.

I really have no confidence in this aspect.

Anyway, she didn't see anything like acting skills in Mo Yingying.

However, I didn't see how inconsistent her performance in the TV series was.

So not sure.

"You can give it a try, but don't be too blind," Yan Xin said. "Next time if there is a good opportunity, give it to her and see if she can afford it. If the evaluation is good, you can give her a better opportunity." , and even give her the chance to be the protagonist.”

Zeng Yan nodded: "I understand."

Then he said with a smile: "She accepted such an advertisement and earned tens of thousands of dollars. She was very happy. She also told me that she wanted to treat you to a meal, boss, to express her gratitude. Boss, are you free?"

The remuneration for that advertisement was 100,000 yuan, but the amount that fell to the girl was 40,000 to 50,000 yuan, and it was pre-tax income.

But for a young person who has just entered this industry, it is also a considerable amount of income.

It's normal to be happy.

But if he wanted to invite Yan Xin to dinner, it was unclear whether he wanted to thank him or had other ideas.

Anyway, Zeng Yan didn't think it was just a simple thank you.

She has been in this circle for more than ten years, and she knows very well what this circle is like.

No matter how innocent a person is, if they enter this circle for a long time, they will become what the people in the circle should look like.

She knows, but she won't stop it.

If it should be passed on, she would also pass it on.

——Who knows if the boss likes this bite?

But when he mentioned this to Yan Xin, the smile on his face seemed a little ambiguous.

Yan Xin shook his head and said with a smile: "I am very busy now. I am running here and there. How can I have so much time to eat with others? Just tell her that what she gets now is due to her efforts. There is no need to thank anyone for coming back. If you want to achieve greater success in the future, you just have to work harder. There is no need to invite me to this meal.”

"Okay, I will tell her." Zeng Yan said.

The mood is quite complicated.

It's a good thing that the boss doesn't like women, at least he won't make some loss-making investments just to make a beautiful girl famous.

But on the other hand, it's not a good thing that the boss doesn't have such preferences.

As a result, many women have no chance.

In the silence, Yan Xin asked her again:
"By the way, how is your niece doing in the company?"

Zeng Yan was stunned for a moment, and a smile appeared on her face:

"You talk about Xiyue, she works very hard and actively participates in performance training classes and dance classes. She also practices for several hours at home every day. She also participated in music classes some time ago, learning from the most basic rise."

When I said these words, what I was thinking was:
"He specifically asked about Xiyue, which shows that this girl still has a status in his mind. This is a good thing. If Xiyue can seize this opportunity, she will be rich in the future."

"That's good," Yan Xin said with a smile, "Tell her to work hard and there will be a lot of opportunities in the future."

Zeng Yan became even happier and said: "Boss, you can tell her yourself. That girl admires you very much. If I tell her, she may not be able to listen, but if you tell her, she will definitely be able to listen." Gotta go in."

Yan Xin was stunned: "Worship me? What am I worth worshiping?"

Apart from money, he really doesn't know what other advantages he has.

But money is not worthy of worship, right?
If you really want to worship the rich, you should also worship those who are truly rich and those who are on the rich list, not little people like him.

"Boss, you are really too humble," Zeng Yan said with a smile, "You are so talented. You can write so many classic songs at a young age. You are also so successful in starting a business. You started from scratch and became a famous person at such a young age. Aren’t billionaires worthy of admiration?”

After a pause, he said again:
"You are so outstanding and so handsome, but I don't know how many girls want you as their dream lover!"

Yan Xin felt a little embarrassed when she said this.

He felt embarrassed whenever someone mentioned his talent.

Because the so-called talent does not really belong to him.

He just copied it.

He himself never thought that was his advantage, only that it was his blemish.

But Zeng Yan explained it this way, and he understood it.

Indeed, in front of outsiders, he is very outstanding, not just rich.
