This director needs to apologize

Chapter 241: Blind at the sight of money

Chen Yiming delivered a long talk, but in fact, the only real thing he had to say was to join forces with video websites to hold an idol talent show.

The investment recovery methods that Da Zhuang cares about are all about long-term prospects. They are just soap bubbles in mid-air. They look colorful and explode when the wind blows.

The chairman of the board, Da Zhuang, was a serious person, not someone who relied on his father. He had personally dealt with all aspects of the industry, so as soon as he heard what Chen Yiming said, he immediately grasped the key points.

“Why do video websites spend so much money to support us in idol talent shows? Can’t they do it themselves?

After being selected, why should we sign the players to our company? Can't they sign them themselves? "

This is the way of thinking of a startup company. Before running a project, ask yourself: Why should the big water pipe that provides money take you to play? Are you irreplaceable?

Don't talk about the founder or copyright owner, it's just a PPT. It doesn't take any effort to copy and paste.

In a relationship chain, one either has unique abilities or a background that lasts forever, otherwise one will be kicked out in minutes.

The previous online promotion process of "1951" was a positive case in this regard.

The strong background of Demon Shadow makes Weibo dare not rashly break up with him. The only alternative, Emperor Shadow, does not have the cleverness of the Bo Jue brothers.

Of course, another reason is that Chen Yiming's plan brought in the budding ticket booking platform, giving Weibo's money a "strategic investment" title.

Chen Yiming stretched out and replied with a smile, "Because video websites don't know how to do it, or at this juncture, only Xiangnan Channel in China, which has done Supergirl before, can do it, but Xiangnan Channel has the temperament of Pixiu, and only enters It can't be released.

If one of the three Goose, Pear, and Sweet Potato families wants to kick us out and go it alone, then their only choice is to cooperate with Shonan Taiwan.

So the question is, there are two parties on the platform who are born with opposing interests. Can they come to an agreement?

With the urinary nature of Shonan Channel, it is most likely that they took advantage of their entire online channel, and the Yusanjia really became a joke in the industry.

From another perspective, it would be a good thing for a certain company to oppose us.

Video websites and TV stations are fighting over each other. Doesn’t it just mean that this matter is very profitable? When the time comes, the other two companies will only flock to it even more. Doesn’t this reflect our importance?

Moreover, only with the involvement of Xiangnan Taiwan, you, Mr. Zhuang, will have room to play.

Even if you think about it, you know that there is no way that Shonan TV will allow the network to broadcast. They are the TV station that produces the best entertainment programs in the country, and they will not allow video websites to extend their hands to their own territory.

But Modu TV has no such worries, because they have no foundation in idol selection, and every point of exposure is a net profit. Coupled with your background in the Modu literary and art circle, no one can take Modu out of your hands. Pry away with the cooperation of Taiwan.

As for the player signing, that would be even simpler. Either the partnering company would form a joint venture with the video website, and the idol would have a background on the platform. Wouldn't it be more convenient to have programs on the platform in the future?

If there is really a good prospect, why not get a vest company to stamp it first, and then send it to the draft?

If you want to be an idol company, the ability to recognize people is a special skill. If Yao Laosan does not have the resources in this area, it is better to step back from the cliff to avoid wasting money.

I think what you should be more worried about is how your relationship with Yao Laosan will turn out when the draft is done. "

Da Zhuang understands what Chen Yiming means. It's not that he thinks about how to spend the money before he earns it, but that business cooperation has always been like this. The distribution of interests is a prerequisite. If the negotiation cannot be reached, he must stop in time.

Because it must be determined in advance, not only the future benefits, but also the resources invested and the corresponding risks.

Who can guarantee that a project will definitely make money when executed?

A mature cooperation framework must have a positive correlation between investment, risk and return. If you invest more money, you will get more cents, and if you invest less money, you will get less money. If you invest less money and still want more cents, then you have to work more and take more risks. .

In this cooperation framework designed by Chen Yiming, the video website is obviously responsible for the majority of investment, as it is both an investor and a broadcast platform. The companies of Da Zhuang and Yao Laosan should be regarded as the producers of the program.

When it comes to Da Zhuang and Yao Laosan, the rights and obligations are somewhat unequal. Da Zhuang has to be responsible for program production, network promotion, and Taiwan network broadcasting. It is either a big favor or a big investment.

All Yao Laosan can offer are "connections" that are difficult to quantify. Whether it's the returning Chinese trainees or the invited judges from Bangkok, are they really sure that someone other than Yao Laosan "will not marry"? I'm afraid not necessarily. The risk on Da Zhuang's side was astonishingly high, while the risk on Yao Laosan's side was negligible.

Chen Yiming was watching Da Zhuang while he was cooking. It was clear from his face that he was also aware of the problem with this cooperation.

There is actually no need for a joint venture between Da Zhuang and Yao Laosan, because the core business of the two companies is an upstream and downstream relationship. If they want to cooperate in the future, they can just sign a contract. Being independent from each other not only saves trouble, but also avoids possible risks. Break up the friendship.

Now it depends on whether Da Zhuang can get around the two brothers.

In fact, Chen Yiming is very optimistic about the idol economy. This market is huge. As a pioneer, you don’t have to worry about being swept up by the waves and capital.

The development history of the previous life has verified the money scene of this track, but Chen Yiming also witnessed the chaos of this circle.

Chen Yiming has no idea of ​​​​saving internal entertainment. It is neither necessary nor possible.

There is a saying that celebrities make money by being scolded. This is the social function that the entertainment industry plays. If we really want to be pure and spotless, how can other industries gain a foothold?

Therefore, there is no chain of contempt in the entertainment industry in Chen Yiming's heart. He relies on the audience to earn a living, and there is no distinction between high and low.

If Da Zhuang really wants to enter the idol industry, then Chen Yiming, as his best friend, will definitely support him.

When he traveled through time in his previous life, the popularity of the entertainment industry had become irreversible. Mature men and women who were busy with their careers were still acting in idol dramas with the soft light filter turned on.

Don't talk about acting people looking down on idols. There were no acting schools in the entertainment industry at that time, they were all idols.

If you don’t take the road of marketing traffic, there will be no way to go!

Chen Yiming can only ensure that he does not become a dragon, and that the selection of actors for the film will not be coerced by capital and traffic. However, at most he can only influence the small circle around him and cannot resist the overall trend.

It wasn't until Chen Yiming was full of soup and rice that Da Zhuang woke up from his meditation. He did not continue the discussion with Chen Yiming about the idol draft, but directly changed the topic.

"Yiming, do you have any suggestions about Bo Jue getting involved in the brokerage business?"

Chen Yiming shook his head like a rattle, "Then you asked the wrong person. I am a director, and I have never had a good impression of the agency.

If you really want to do it, it's best to hide behind the scenes and open a stall alone, and don't get involved with Bo Jue. "

Da Zhuang became interested, "Why? I know you are worried about affecting Bo Jue's reputation, but we can only sign actors we have discovered or can trust. There are many clean actors in the industry."

Chen Yiming sneered at this, "Tsk! I'm worried about my damn reputation. Bojue himself maintains a navy team. What kind of good reputation is this?

Being in the entertainment industry, all you earn is being judged by others, so it would be hypocritical to talk about reputation. "

Chen Yiming poured himself another cup of tea and said seriously, "The reason why I want to completely cut off the brokerage business is purely for profit considerations.

To be an artist manager, you must have a professional manager, right? With this third party between the company and the actors, trouble will arise even if nothing happens.

The agent is against the company, but the actor is dissatisfied, and the agent is against the actor, and the company is not satisfied. If you allow actors to open studios with their agents, then what are you doing as an agent? You will get into trouble for a small amount of money.

It's understandable that you want to win over the actor Li Shantou, but is it necessary for Bo Jue?

We are focusing on the production business, so it is best to be pure, otherwise if you are producing and acting as an intermediary for actors at the same time, Guatian Lixia will not be able to explain clearly in front of external investors. At the very least, I will definitely not have the confidence to speak loudly to Hou Peijuan!

I don’t even have the confidence, what do you ask Xiangrui and those three new directors to do?

In addition, domestic film companies are basically involved in the brokerage business, and based on this alone, we should stay out of it.

As for Lao Qi's sister, let Lao Qi run the company on his own. If he feels uneasy, you can buy a small stake, and you can arrange for a suitable role later.

If Lao Qi is willing to invest, I can tailor-make a movie for his sister. As a director with double Palme d'Or and Oscar, you ask Lao Qi what price he is willing to pay. "

Da Zhuang was dumbfounded when he heard this, okay? He also felt that his brother was very capable, and after working for a long time, he was also a money-seeing guy.
