Top of the big era

Boss Ma was a little confused. He didn't know what this guy meant by inviting a group of Korean girls to dance. What about Korean art... He didn't notice any art at all, he just saw people shaking their breasts and twisting their buttocks and posing.

In front, there was a performance of singing and dancing.

Here, Zhou Buqi looked at Boss Ma sitting next to him with a smile, "How is it?"

Boss Ma was a little confused, "It's pretty good."

Zhou Buqi said with emotion: "Korean Wave is now sweeping across Asia and has begun to be promoted to Europe and the United States. This Girls' Generation group is one of the best and is very popular among young people. Some time ago, they just performed in Madison in New York The concert will be held in the Garden Square.”

Boss Ma glanced at him and said, "Is it related to you?"

"Huh?" Zhou Buqi was startled for a moment, then waved his hand, "It has something to do with me, but that's not what I'm talking about, and I'm not here to show off to you. I just have some feelings about the girlhood in Madison Garden Although the performance was quite popular, it was in no way comparable to the sensation of "Youth Version of Peony Pavilion" some time ago."

"What?" Boss Ma didn't believe it, "Is this pop culture?"

Zhou Buqi smiled and said: "From the perspective of mass communication, of course Girls' Generation is more famous and has a wider audience. But you also said that this is pop culture. Are you willing to participate in pop culture? In New York's upper class society , then "Youth Version of The Peony Pavilion" is more popular."

Boss Ma nodded, "When I was working as a tour guide on the West Lake to learn English, what foreigners were most interested in was Peking Opera, and of course Kun Opera."

Zhou Buqi said: "It's a pity. Today's Peking Opera relies on the state's finances and has completely lost its ability to be self-sufficient. It costs millions to arrange a new play, and it only takes a few performances." It was shelved, but in the end the classic traditional songs were performed over and over again.”

Boss Ma said amusedly: "Are you really interested in traditional drama?"

Zhou Buqi said: "Youth version of The Peony Pavilion is the best example. Even Kun Opera could not survive. Let alone touring abroad, no one watched it in China, and the theater could not sell tickets at all. It's not that the performance is not good, but that the past form is no longer good. Just like cross talk, I almost died a few years ago, so I had to rely on state funds to support it. Later, a Deyun Club came out. "

Boss Ma shook his head, "This matter is not easy to handle. Big things have happened in the past few years."

"What's wrong?"

"It is estimated that it was also influenced by "Youth Edition of Peony Pavilion" and some modern Western drama performances. Many theater troupes appeared to revamp Peking Opera, and the revamp was... like the revamped version of Shakespeare in Las Vegas. of."

"Well……"

Zhou Buqi went to see a big show in Las Vegas.

Some big shows are truly world-class, so shocking that they can make you forget to breathe.

Some big shows are purely eye-catching, and there are even nude dramas, where actors and actresses are naked and perform serious dramas in a serious manner.

Many people are curious and will go see it.

Casinos are originally places where people live in a state of drunkenness and dreams.

Boss Ma continued: "I don't know much about anything else, but I know a lot about Peking Opera. A few years ago, in order to attract box office, we created electronic Peking Opera and bikini Peking Opera. Later, it was quickly stopped and we couldn't take it." The quintessence of China is joking.”

Zhou Buqi said with a smile: "I want to promote traditional art in a serious way, and I don't want to do those messy things. "Youth Version of Peony Pavilion" is very good. I heard that during the domestic tour, the seats were also packed. It cannot be compared with other Kun Opera repertoire.”

Boss Ma deeply agrees, “Art, while inheriting tradition, must also keep pace with the times.”

Zhou Buqi said: "Well, Mei Lanfang's Peking Opera is not the same thing as the Peking Opera in the Qing Dynasty. It has become its own style after many changes. The current domestic drama industry is still too stubborn on tradition. That kind of thing. If nothing else, in the old society, women were not allowed to go on stage, so men had to dress up as women to go on stage. Why is it necessary in modern society? There is also the choice of actors. In ancient times, a troupe had too few people and insufficient conditions. , we can only rely on heavy makeup and props to cover up the appearance of the actors, so that a 60-year-old can play a 20-year-old, and a 20-year-old can play a 60-year-old. It's all one person doing multiple things. That's the characteristic of the times. Today's There are so many theater actors, and some old artists are allowed to stand up and play young people. How can this be sticking to tradition? This is scripted. If you look at "Dream of Red Mansions", the Jia family has the power and conditions, who would support an elderly theater troupe? No. They are all buying young boys and girls. Everyone likes to watch young people perform, and this has always been the case."

Boss Ma's family is involved in the Peking Opera circle, so he can't say much about it. "Everyone has his own reasons. Young actors still lack performance experience."

Zhou Buqi said: "A very important factor in the success of "The Peony Pavilion" is that young people play young people and old people play old people. Instead of the old people playing old people and old people playing young people, like in the past. When making a movie or TV series, everyone knows that choosing handsome men and beautiful women as the protagonists will have greater market appeal."

Then, he stretched out his hand and pointed at the girls in front of them who were swaying their hips and shaking their butts.

So young, so beautiful...how can I not be popular?

Even if they are not good at singing and have to lip-sync, the market can still be tolerant towards them.

Boss Ma was silent for a long time, and then said slowly: "Let's start with the more marginal operas. Kun opera, Yue opera, etc., start with the more open southern operas. Don't touch Peking opera, this thing involves too much, it's not It’s as simple as opening a theater and talking about cross talk.”

Then, both parties had a lunch on the boat.

Zhou Buqi also took out a small gift prepared in advance, a Cartier crystal bracelet for each member, and gave it to each member of Girls' Generation.

There is no labor fee for performing here.

Send a small gift to express your feelings.

Zhou Buqi even asked them to take the yacht for a spin on the sea and play for a while. He and Boss Ma left by helicopter and went to San Jose to meet Sun Zhengyi.

Boss Ma thought of something and said, "By the way, are you ready with the funds?"

Zhou Buqi said: "No problem!"

Boss Ma said: "Don't be pushy, just ask if you need help."

Zhou Buqi said: "If you can help me deal with Masayoshi Son, that's enough. The acquisition of Yahoo may require US$10 billion in cash. If this money is spent, the company's books will be empty."

Boss Ma laughed and said, "So you want to sell them that part of Yahoo Japan's shares?"

Zhou Buqi nodded, "Well, part of it."

Boss Ma's expression was a little strange, "Yang Zhiyuan agreed?"

"Why does he disagree?" Zhou Buqi said indifferently, "I proceed from the interests of the company, not from the interests of the employer."

"hehe!"

Boss Ma thought it was quite absurd.

The employer wants to gain control of Yahoo in order to dismember Yahoo and then sell high-quality assets along the way to obtain profits.

Now Zhou Buqi is about to successfully operate Yahoo, and his actions are no different!

Selling Alibaba's shares back to Alibaba and selling Yahoo Japan's shares back to Yahoo Japan is no different from dismemberment.

It's the same dismemberment, but different people perform the operations... the effects are really different.

The management went to take action and were heartbroken.

Zhou Buqi went to operate the knife, and even dismembering the body with five horses seemed quite comfortable.

Zhou Buqi said: "I think this is also due to Yang Zhiyuan's sense of responsibility. When he controlled Yahoo, Yahoo held a large number of Yahoo Japan and Alibaba stocks. He could not cause trouble and support the entrepreneurial teams of the two companies. Wait for him Without control of Yahoo, Yahoo has become a key power risk for Alibaba and Yahoo Japan. So he must solve this problem and not affect the future development of Alibaba and Yahoo Japan because of himself."

Boss Ma smiled and said, "That should be the case. He asked you to contact Masayoshi Son, and that's probably what he meant. He doesn't want you to own too many shares of Yahoo Japan and constrain them in the future."

Zhou Buqi said: "Lao Yang is a good man, no wonder he was kicked out of the house. It's just that his methods are not as good as Lao Zhang's, which makes him a little less interesting."
