Dad Academy

Chapter 774 Lao Li’s nagging (12)

Zhang Tan's signing with Kuxun Video did not cause much repercussions in the entertainment industry.

As a person behind the scenes, his traffic is limited, and the audience doesn't care. They pay more attention to the daily life of the star, such as falling down while walking the dog, getting a skin tear during filming, working overtime until eleven o'clock in the evening, etc.

The next day he came to the headquarters of Kuxun Video, which is located on the Huangpu River. Kucheng personally greeted him, took him to visit the building and introduced the company's history.

Kuxun Video celebrates its 10th anniversary this year. It is one of the earliest video websites in China. It was once the industry leader, but then the mobile Internet suddenly emerged. They did not keep up with the trend and did not step into the node. As a result, they were surpassed by Penguin Video, Mango Video, etc. .

Today, Kuxun Video can only rank among the top five in the industry.

"This will be your office from now on."

Ku Cheng took him to the fifteenth floor, where Zhang Tan's office was. Outside the window was the broad and surging Huangpu River, with a broad view and pleasant scenery.

There is a nameplate hanging on the edge of the office door with the word "Consultant" written on it.

Zhang Tan does not have a specific position. He is a director of Kuxun Video. Kucheng wanted to ask him to work in the content department, but Zhang Tan thought that he was just holding a false position and had no intention of actually working here, so after discussing with Kucheng, With the title of consultant, he can nominally take care of everything, but Zhang Tan understands that he will only take care of his own projects.

Ku Cheng wanted Zhang Tan to have the title of producer again, but Zhang Tan thought about it and declined.

Producers need strong communication skills, coordination, sponsorship, funding, etc. He can do it, but his interest is not in that.

For him, letting him concentrate on scripts and projects is the best way to use steel on the blade.

I visited the headquarters of Kuxun Video all morning, and was led by Kucheng to get to know the company's cadres and employees. I had dinner with the senior executives at noon, and then returned to Xiaohongma in the afternoon.

In the comic studio in Building 2, everyone gathered together for a rare lively chat. When Zhang Tan appeared, everyone sent congratulations.

"Congratulations for what?" Zhang Tan asked doubtfully.

Xin Xiaoguang smiled and said: "Boss, you are now the youngest billionaire!"

Zhang Tan waved his hand and asked what he thought.

"How can I be the youngest billionaire? There are so many second-generation rich people who are richer than me. Who am I?"

Xu Qizhe said: "That is the second generation of rich people. They do not rely on themselves and cannot be confused with others."

Liu Xiangsheng agreed very much: "The boss is someone who started from scratch, built something from scratch, and is great. He is our role model and goal."

Xin Xiaoguang knew some of Zhang Tan's background, but not very clearly. He only knew that the water was very deep. Even though Boss Zhang lives in this courtyard, the house is only three stories high and looks like a slum compared with the building next to it on West Chang'an Street. However, he has a rich background. He is indeed not the second generation of rich people, but he is not a rich second generation. A second-generation official, emmmmm~ He is indeed not, but I am afraid that those real second-generation officials would not dare to raise their tails when they see him.

Although Zhang Tan has a background, Xin Xiaoguang thought about it and realized that Zhang Tan really earned his career by himself.

Just like this comic studio, he watched it grow from scratch.

As for the film and television studio, it was established later than the comic studio, and he was the one who watched it start up. The office is upstairs from theirs. When they were cleaning, moving furniture, and arranging equipment, everyone present helped. Who can When I thought about it, in less than a year, it was transformed into a video company and merged into Kuxun Video, in exchange for hundreds of millions of assets!

That's it? ?

Can this be exchanged for hundreds of millions? ? ?

Before Zhang Tan appeared, Xin Xiaoguang chatted with everyone and sighed, it is true that the mountains are not as high as the immortals. Although the office space is simple, it is valuable.

"Boss, will you still be working on the second floor from now on?" Xu Qizhe asked. During this time, he made friends with Zhang Ling, Xu Shufei, and Xu Jian, who often came here to study scripts, and they got along well with each other.

Zhang Tan said: "You can run either way."

Xu Qizhe nodded.

Among all the people present, Xu Jian was probably the most deeply touched. He looked at Zhang Tan with a complicated expression, but most of all he was filled with admiration.

He entered Pujiang Film Studio a little earlier than Zhang Tan. He watched Zhang Tan apply for a job in the factory, starting from the drama review team, fighting for the rights to adapt comics, and then defeating him to launch "Unlucky Bear" for Pujiang TV Station. His footprints are clear. , every step is under his nose.

Back then, he could still compete with Zhang Tan, but now, only two years have passed, and they are already completely different.

It can't be compared. It can't be compared.

I have to admit that sometimes the gap between people is really big.

Everyone chatted lively for a while, and everyone answered that they were busy working at their posts. Lao Li appeared at the door, waved to Zhang Tan, and mysteriously pulled him into the yard to talk.

"I heard that you sold the studio?" Lao Li asked.

Zhang Tan glanced at him in surprise, "It's not exactly accurate, but it's close."

"How much did it cost?"

"Have you ever heard anything?"

"Nothing, nothing."

"Are we still so out of touch with each other?"

"I'm not allowed to talk about it. Can I talk about it?"

"Which one of us is following which one?"

"Then I'll tell you, it's Xiao Fei's kid. He said he was sold. He said the studio was sold to some kind of trousers company. Why is such a name popular now?"

Xiaofei is Xu Shufei. This boy has a lively nature and has the same personality as Zhao Lin. During this time, he started chatting with Lao Li.

"Maybe he's a little emotional. I'll talk to him later," Zhang Tan said.

"Don't say I told you this. If you say that, Xiao Fei will definitely fall out with me."

"Don't talk about it, it's just normal work communication."

"That's pretty much it. By the way, how much did it cost? There aren't many people in your studio, there are only three or two big cats and kittens, and you have to fish for three days and dry the nets for two days, so you can't sell it for a high price. Don't lose the watermelon and pick it up. Sesame, if you lose the hearts of your employees and lose their people, it will be difficult to lead the team. If people are willing to work with you, it means they trust you. You have to be loyal. If Xiaofei and the others hadn't been here all the time recently Run, I didn’t even know there was a film and television company, this is a leather bag company, so don’t deceive people..."

Lao Li chattered a lot, but his words were full of concern. Zhang Tan was not impatient at all, and listened to his words carefully. Finally, he said: "Whether to sell at a higher price is a matter of opinion. I think it's okay." , mainly because I want to do something big and need money.”

"How much is it?"

"What? Do you want to support me?"

"How many did you say?"

"More than a billion."

"It's up to my waist!"

"Be careful, you still have to dance in the square."

"By the way, how much did you sell it for?"

"Several hundred million."

"..." Old Li turned and left, leaving Zhang Tan with the retreating figure of a master, "Hey, sir, times have really changed. I'd better stop worrying about it and concentrate on guarding the door."

Zhang Tan said to his back: "Uncle Li, you are not worrying blindly! I have remembered everything you said today, and they all make sense."

Lao Li's back paused for a moment, then continued walking to the guard box, much taller and taller.
