Full-time actor

Chapter 180 [7] Chen Yu’s ambition! The third company!

"Boss, this drama is really interesting. It's about a gangster and it's adapted from real events!"

"You put it in the store and sell it!"

"I'll give you a set, take a look first!"

"If anyone wants to buy it, just contact me and I will deliver it to your door the same day!"

"..."

Wen Zhang stood at the door of a video store, promoting Chen Yu's "Conquest" there, and conveniently stuffed Zhang Chen Yu's business card of the company he had just established; this was a task entrusted to them by the monitor, and the entire Class 02 Performance Department collectively Out in force.

I am idle during the winter vacation, just think of it as helping Chen Yu, who will definitely become a big shot in the future.

Today, they are going to visit all the video stores in the imperial capital. Of course, the promotion of "Conquest" is fake, but the business cards stuffed in them are real.

At present, "Conquest" is not popular at all. Why should someone buy your goods in a video store? Let them know your contact information so that they can call you when they think of it later.

Chen Yu followed this path of ground push.

Then Chen Yu, a student in the 02-level acting class who went back to celebrate the New Year during the winter vacation, also told them to go to their local county town or city audio and video store to promote it and give him a business card or something. This was not difficult for Wen Zhang and others.

Mainly, it can help Chen Yu. In their opinion, such a small thing is worth doing.

"It's done!"

After watching the video store owner stuff his business card into the drawer, Wen Zhang rushed to the next store.

Video stores throughout the imperial capital experienced a sudden wave of sales today. This was a method that would be taken for granted in later generations, but in fact it was the first time for many people to encounter it.

However, the bosses obviously didn't take it to heart. They accepted the business cards and the free "Conquest". Some threw it aside, while others read it with interest.

At this time, next door to Yu Xin Pictures, Chen Yu opened a new Internet company - Erdong.

In the past three days, in addition to taking the drama test, he also hired several website development technicians with high salaries, including art, front-end, operation and maintenance... Yu Xin's legal affairs officer Yang Lu was in charge of the interview.

“What you have to do is to create a purchase and consultation webpage first!”

"If someone wants to buy our company's DVDs, you are responsible for contacting the shipping office. It's that simple!"

Chen Yu said to several new employees.

Erdong.com is actually very ambitious.

Although it is currently just a web page similar to corporate procurement, it has even been promoted by Baidu and Google. As long as you search for the words "conquer", "blind well", "warm" and "warm spring", the first one that pops up is Er Dong. net.

The cost is so cheap that Chen Yu can't believe it. It costs 100 yuan to register as a member, and there is a 50% discount. One click is only a few cents... Google is slightly more expensive.

It was less than a year after Baidu's PPC was launched in 03. No one bought it at all, but Chen Yu knew the power of this search engine.

From 03 to 06, many companies made their first pot of gold by relying on the promotion of this bidding ranking. Many travel websites, cross-stitch websites, and corporate procurement became rich overnight.

You can make money earlier than opening a store on Taobao.

It's a pity that Li Yanhong didn't do anything and was corrupted by capital. It's impossible for a search engine to be hated by everyone.

Later, Chen Yu's idea was that Erdong would move closer to video websites and Douban.

This can be regarded as the first in the industry. After all, Tudou.com, the first domestic video website with some reputation, will not be born for another two years; LeTV, which did not want to make videos at the beginning but later became the first to reap the video dividends, still has to It was established 1 year later.

Boss Jia is also a talented person, but it’s a pity that he has taken too big steps; in the beginning, LeTV’s model was actually the most successful example in the industry. It purchased copyrights aggressively and invested in movies by itself, which is likely to become the trend of China’s Netflix.

It's a pity... he was killed by himself.

Chen Yu is not in a hurry anyway. He will first collect some dramas and start with audio and video, and then slowly transition to video websites, and then branch out to the Douban rating mechanism.

In fact, the three directions can be done together.

Didn’t you see that Dangdang sells audio and video online and has sold billions?

Didn’t Amazon also make its fortune from audiovisual books?

This is a big industry, but unfortunately domestic piracy is rampant, so it is destined to be difficult to develop. Therefore, video websites are Chen Yu's top priority, and there are several types of video websites.

Film and television companies like LeTV Aiyouteng specialize in copyright and filming.

Tudou YouTube, which is uploaded voluntarily by users, has the largest traffic, so of course we cannot give up.

Finally, Station A, which has the most die-hard fans, complains about the barrage genre at Station B, which is also a core competitive industry.

All three tracks have markets.

Of course, Douban’s ratings are also very important!

It's a pity that founder Abei didn't do a good job and was overtaken by Maoyan.

Movie rating websites are the best way to deal with ticket purchasing, distribution, theaters, etc. This is the first factor in controlling the market.

Abei is at a disadvantage because he is a literary young man; and Maoyan has been developing in this direction from the beginning.

"So, just relying on the film and television industry, you can actually have all you can eat!"

Chen Yu's "Er Dong" will develop into three major industries: online shopping, copyright and rating, with countless branches running in parallel.

But now, all these are just assumptions. The current Erdong is not even a bud.

"The ideal is very plump, but the reality is very skinny!"

Chen Yu smiled, told several development employees about the preliminary plan for the website, and then went to the marketing department. The newly recruited employee Wang Cheng was on the phone with the factory.

He is the contact person who is responsible for contacting the factory to burn discs and arrange delivery.

If it's too late by then, Chen Yu can ask Bian Xiang to call some people to help with the extras. Maybe he can make more money by shipping goods than filming. At present, Bian Xiang's extras company is doing well, and in the circle of the imperial capital It's very famous here.

Chen Yu doesn't have time to teach them acting now, so Bian Xiang found an acting teacher by himself.

Of course, he also knows that the success of his company is due to Chen Yu's early guidance and his current connections, so the two have always gotten along very well and can chat from time to time.

The main thing is that Chen Yu is getting more and more popular. As long as his reputation lasts, Bian Xiang will never fail to get jobs.

He is still very willing to give this dividend.

"This company can't do without a person in charge, even though it has just started!"

Chen Yu definitely doesn't have time to manage these companies. He thought that Chen Peidong and Shen Xiaoqin were still young, and it would be better for them to have their own people look after their initial development; when they reached the stable stage, they would definitely need to recruit professional managers and professional talents.

Family-style operation in the early stage is the solution chosen by many start-up companies.

"Go back this time and discuss it with the second elder!"

"If it doesn't work out, dad will come over to help. I just happened to grab my uncle!"

Chen Yu flew to Magic City the day after tomorrow, but he didn't buy a train ticket. During the Spring Festival travel period, it was definitely hard to get a ticket. The scalper's ticket back to Sioux City during the New Year increased by 100.

There was something else he had to do when he stayed these days.

It's the Chinese New Year, and it's time to pay dividends. The company hasn't settled accounts with Chen Yu for a year, so it must be paid some, and Bian Xiang has to take what's due.

After finishing all this, Chen Yu can go home for the New Year; then, on the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, he has to come back and go to Germany with Li Yang and Lu Xuechang to participate in the 53rd Berlin Film Festival.

This year is destined to be a bumper year for Chen Yu.

"Conquest", "Toward a Republic", "Golden Family" and "Dragon" will be broadcast one after another; "Blind Shaft" and "Warm" are shining in major film festivals...

"After being dormant in 02, why should there be a rise in 03?"

Chen Yu has already begun to look forward to this New Year, which is also his first New Year after his rebirth.

……

Early the next morning, January 2003, 1, Chen Yu came to the company early.

"Brother Yu, red envelope!"

When Ji Qiannan saw Chen Yu, she stuffed a thick red envelope directly. Chen Yu even smiled: "Sister Qian, are you rich?"

"What? You've worked hard. You've been busy for a year!"

"Sister, I'll reward you for your hard work. Of course, I'll make some money, hahaha!"

Ji Qiannan looks very happy. It seems that her income this year is indeed very good. She depends on performance. Although Chen Yu's performance has just improved a little this year, it is much better than her previous years.

Chen Yu guessed that she would earn 20-30 yuan this year.

However, no matter how much Ji Qiannan earns, it is not as much as Chen Yu. Chen Yu almost has more than 100 after tax this year.

Mainly because he earns more from advertising and endorsements, but Tianlong earns a bit more from film remuneration.

"Sister Qian, I have accepted the kindness, but I will not accept the red envelope!"

He earns more than Ji Qiannan, how can he be embarrassed to accept it?

Unexpectedly, Ji Qiannan's face turned serious: "This is the rule in the industry, take it!"

With that said, he patted the red envelope directly into Chen Yu's arms.

"..."

Well, Chen Yu had no choice but to accept it.

Ji Qiannan then said with a faint smile: "How much you earn or how little you earn is your ability; I rely on you to make a living, so I should give you a red envelope, do you understand?"

"It's booming. I hope my Brother Yu will become more and more popular next year, and then you, Sister Qian, and I will really get popular!"

"I'll lend you some good words!"

Chen Yu cupped the red envelope in his hand, and Ji Qiannan said with a longing look on her face: "I hope to have a good start next year and come back with a Berlin Best Actor!"

Of course Ji Qiannan knew that Chen Yu was going to Berlin.

The whole company knows.

"Sister Qian, I don't want to win the Best Actor Award in Berlin. I just hope that one of the two films will be nominated. Then it can be considered a Best Actor nomination!"

This is a commonly used draft in China.

There are no nominations for Best Actor, Actor or Supporting Actor at the world's three major film festivals. As long as a film is shortlisted for Best Picture, any actor participating in it will actually have a chance to win.

Carla is the puppy Carla within a dog, and theoretically has a chance.

In other words, as long as they are shortlisted, every actor participating will be nominated for Best Actor.

It's just that many viewers don't know it, so the media and agencies like to brag about it like this.

"You still have to have dreams, what if they come true?"

Ji Qiannan smiled and helped Chen Yu straighten his clothes: "Remember to wear something red next year to be happy. Xia Yu can win the Venice Best Actor at the age of 16. Is my Yu brother bad? I like you!"

"Okay, as long as you dare to think about it!"

Chen Yu smiled and didn't take this kind of thing to heart at all; Xia Yu won the award really because of Lao Jiang, and the filming of "Sunny Days" was really good.

"The Blind Shaft" and "Kara is a Dog", Chen Yu always felt that they were still a little bit inferior.

Therefore, it is still difficult to win the best film in Berlin.

Chen Yu's visit this time can be regarded as experiencing the atmosphere of an international film festival. He was reborn and went to the highest palace of actors. It was an honor and a gold plating.

I didn't expect that there would be so many carpet stars in later generations, so they tried to change their ways to win.

In fact, the popularity of the three major film festivals cannot be matched by any other film and television programs.

"Let's go. Mr. Qin is in a hurry. I want to pay you your salary and tell you something by the way!"

"Your share should change!"

Ji Qiannan tested Qin Yonggang's tone, so she knew some inside stories in advance.

Chen Yu raised his eyebrows, but without thinking much, he walked towards the office of his boss Qin Yonggang... What he didn't know was that the shortlist for the 53rd Berlin International Film Festival was released today!

Countless filmmakers in the industry have already been looking forward to it!
