The world of film and television begins from childhood

Zhou Chen said: "I listened to your discussion just now. If you just want to experience it, or just want to make a little money, it's okay; but starting a business requires time and energy. Compared with your current studies, I think those projects are really not that good."

Zhong Bai urged impatiently: "Oh, Zhou Chen, why are you so inked? You said our project is not good, so tell me about your project."

"If you only have 30,000, you can't do big projects, you can only invest in small projects."

"First of all, we are students in the Department of Photography. We can play professionally and open a small photo studio. We can take pictures and videos for people. It just so happens that Xiao Haiyang is the head of the Propaganda Department and has connections. Take over the photography and video business of some associations; at the same time, you can also take artistic photos, etc., and you can also buy a printer and copier in the store. If you advertise well, you can also make money.”

After hearing this, Lu Qiachuan and others were all tempted.

"It sounds good. It's very consistent with our profession. We can take photos and videos, and there's absolutely no problem with post-editing."

Ren Yifan nodded and said, "This can be listed as one of the inspection projects. Are there any other ones?"

Zhou Chen said: "Second, college girls are beginning to love beauty. In fact, you can definitely make money by opening a small makeup and nail shop. However, this is only suitable for girls, and it will be very tiring if the business is good. Boys basically can't help."

None of the boys spoke. The four girls, Zhong Bai, Li Shuci and Xu Lianqiao, shook their heads at the same time. They couldn't do this.

"Besides, it's hard work, being a delivery man. We all live in the dormitory, and we all know that once the students get lazy, they don't want to move at all. This gives us the opportunity to run errands and make money. Of course, looking at the expressions on your faces, I know you definitely don't want to do it."

Zhou Chen just made a simple analysis. He had a sharp eye and could easily tell what these people were thinking.

After Zhou Chen spoke, everyone started discussing...

On the way back, Zhou Chen saw that Lin Luoxue was distracted, so he asked, "Luoxue, what are you thinking about?"

Lin Luoxue said: "I was thinking about the business we just talked about."

Zhou Chen was surprised and asked, "Are you so interested in starting a business?"

Lin Luoxue said: "I am indeed a little interested. I have resigned from the position of deputy monitor. Yu Hao and Pan Zhen are watching over the Propaganda Department, so I am relatively free now."

"When people are idle, they tend to have random thoughts."

"Not really. I was just thinking about what I could do if I started my own business. I wanted to gain some experience before graduation so that I wouldn't be without a decent resume when I graduate and look for a job."

Seeing that Lin Luoxue's expression was serious and she didn't seem to be talking casually, Zhou Chen pondered in his heart.

"If you really want to start a business, I can give you some ideas, but Ren Yifan's 30,000 yuan is too little to sustain."

Thirty thousand is not a small amount, but for college students like them who are used to spending money lavishly, thirty thousand is really not enough.

Seeing that Zhou Chen was really concerned, Lin Luoxue quickly said, "Zhou Chen, I just said it casually, don't take it to heart. I don't know anything at all now, how can I start a business?"

Zhou Chen laughed and said, "Everyone starts from scratch. You have never started a business before, so how do you know that you can't do it?"

"But I really have no experience, I..."

Zhou Chen placed his finger on Lin Luoxue's lips, stopping her from saying the next thing.

"It doesn't matter. You have no experience, but you still have me. Let me think about it for two days and I'll see if there are any projects that can be carried out in college."

If it was just about starting a business, he could name dozens of them, but regarding starting a business within the university campus, he could think of many, but he didn't really want to do any of them, so he had to think carefully about it to see if there were any better projects.

"Is it really possible?"

Lin Luoxue asked nervously and expectantly.

Zhou Chen smiled and comforted: "Of course it's no problem. Who am I? I am Lin Luoxue's boyfriend. For Lin Luoxue, nothing can stop me."

Lin Luoxue knew that Zhou Chen was joking, but she still wanted to do it very much, so she held Zhou Chen's hand tightly and refused to let go.

Two days later, Zhou Chen called all his friends to the house where he and Lin Luoxue lived.

Except for Zhou Chen and Lin Luoxue, no one else has ever been to this house. After they arrived, they were all very curious to touch around.

"Sure, Zhou Chen, this house is quite big. The rent must be expensive, right?" Ren Yifan asked curiously.

Zhou Chen said: "It's okay, I ordered takeaway, and everyone will eat here later, just so I have something to tell you."

Lu Qiaochuan asked, "What's so solemn about calling us here?"

Zhou Chen said: "Just what Ren Yifan said last time, about starting a business."

"Start a business?"

"That's right, but there's no rush now. Let's talk slowly after dinner."

Zhou Chen ordered a lot of takeout, but everyone was very interested in what Zhou Chen said about entrepreneurship, so they all finished their meal in a hurry and sat together, waiting for Zhou Chen to talk about entrepreneurship.

Seeing that everyone was so interested, Zhou Chen stopped talking and just expressed his thoughts directly.

"I have thought a lot these past two days. We are college students. Even if we want to start a business, we cannot neglect our studies. It would be best if we could start a business on campus. So I thought about it and came up with a project based on our current situation and environment."

"What project."

Everyone looked at Zhou Chen expectantly, and Lin Luoxue was no exception, because Zhou Chen had not told her about this beforehand.

Zhou Chen slowly uttered two words.

"guild."

"guild?"

Except for Zhou Chen, everyone else looked confused and didn't understand what Zhou Chen meant by this guild.

On the other hand, Xiao Haiyang, who often played games, asked curiously: "Zhou Chen, the guild you're talking about, shouldn't it be the kind of guild in online games?"

Zhou Chen said: "It's different, but there are similarities. If I have to say it, it should be called the Live Streaming Guild."

As soon as we heard the word live streaming, we all understood a little bit. In recent years, online live streaming can be said to be very active. As college students of the new era, even if we are not familiar with live streaming, we are definitely not unfamiliar with it.

Ren Yifan asked: "I understand this live broadcast and have watched a lot of it, but what exactly does this live broadcast guild you mentioned mean? Are you asking us to broadcast live online?"

When they heard about live streaming, many people were a little resistant. After all, not everyone is willing to show their face on the Internet. However, Ren Yifan and Yu Hao seemed eager to try it.

Zhou Chen explained: "It is directly related to live streaming, but the live streaming guild I'm talking about is more complicated than directly going live. Listen carefully, I will explain it to you briefly."

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 738 Campus Guild, the Beginning of Business

After Zhou Chen's ten-minute explanation and narration, the friends present had a preliminary understanding of the live broadcast guild he mentioned.

But just because they had this preliminary understanding, they became even more confused.

Lu Qiachuan asked first: "Zhou Chen, according to what you said, we don't need to live broadcast, but to recruit suitable people to live broadcast, and we will be responsible for management, publicity, public relations operations and other matters?"

Zhou Chen said: "Almost. What you said is only part of it. There are more complicated procedures to actually operate it."

Yu Hao raised his hand and shouted, "I know this. Is it similar to a celebrity's agency?"

"Yu Hao is right. The startup project of the live broadcast guild I'm talking about is similar to an agency. The functionality and role are almost the same."

After hearing what Zhou Chen said, everyone present became more interested. They might not be able to show their faces on the live broadcast, but if they were to do behind-the-scenes work, that would be absolutely no problem.

Bi Shisan raised a crucial question.

"According to what you said, Ren Yifan's 30,000 yuan may not be enough."

Yu Hao rolled his eyes: “What are you thinking, 30,000? It’s gone after one operation. Even if it’s increased tenfold, 300,000, I’m afraid it won’t be enough.”

Ren Yifan saw that everyone was looking at him, so he quickly waved his hands and said, "Don't look at me, I only have 30,000 yuan, but this project was proposed by Zhou Chen, so he must have his own ideas. Zhou Chen, you don't want to invest on your own, do you?"

He knew that Zhou Chen had this ability.

Zhou Chen nodded and said, "That's right. Since I have decided to start a business, it would be meaningless to do small things. So I plan to invest 3 million in start-up capital in this live broadcast guild project."

"How much, how much?"

Except for Zhou Chen, everyone was shocked. They opened their mouths wide and looked at Zhou Chen in disbelief. Even Lin Luoxue was no exception.

Zhong Bai pinched Lu Qiachuan's thigh hard, making him scream.

"Ah~"

"Zhong Bai, why are you pinching me?"

Zhong Bai looked blank: "I want to know if this is true, three million, did I hear it right?"

The situation of the others was not much better. Before, Yu Hao had been dismissive of Ren Yifan's 30,000 yuan, but now when he heard the 3 million yuan, he didn't even care about his image. He stood up, rushed to Zhou Chen, knelt on one knee, and grabbed Zhou Chen's hand tightly.

"Brother, my dear brother, I want you to join this project. You must let me join. You know that my lighting skills are the best in our class. With me here, you will have a great general."

Seeing Yu Hao's actions and screams, the others also reacted. At this time, they could not care about anything else.

Zhong Bai stood up and stamped his feet vigorously: "Me, and me, Zhou Chen, my photography and videography skills are the best in our class, I can be your director."

Xu Lianqiao is no longer so pretentious. In the past, in order to attract investments of several thousand or tens of thousands of dollars for her drama club, she had to bow down to everyone. Now that there is three million in front of her, she acts like a big shot.

"I can help you review and prepare the script. I have experience in this area. Live broadcasts definitely require scripts and operations."

Ren Yifan shouted: "I can be the anchor of the anchor station."

Lu Qiachuan: “I can do the planning.”

Bi Shisan said confidently: "I can do everything they can do, Mr. Zhou, I am your most steadfast follower."

What he wants to do most now is to make money, then find a way to get into a foreign university and go to America to find Gu Yixin.

Zhou Chen can invest three million at once. No matter whether it will succeed or not, if they join, he will definitely not treat them unfairly.

What's more, Zhou Chen has always been a person he cannot understand, and he feels that there should be a future if he follows Zhou Chen.

Xiao Haiyang was confused: "Then what can I do?"

Lin Luoxue didn't say anything. She didn't need to say anything at this time. Instead, she recalled the conversation Zhou Chen had with her two nights ago.

At that time, she expressed her desire to start a business and gain more work experience, so Zhou Chen said he would help her come up with a business project. However, she did not expect that Zhou Chen's project was so big that it scared her.

Ren Yifan sighed. It had only been two days since he started his journey as CEO, but in the blink of an eye, all the glory was snatched away by CEO Zhou. At this moment, he felt that his 30,000 yuan was not worth anything at all.

Zhou Chen clapped his hands and ended the discussion.

"Since this is a startup, I will definitely not forget everyone. Ren Yifan, do you want to invest your 30,000? I can give you 1% of the shares."

When Ren Yifan heard that he still had a chance, how could he refuse? Even if it was only one percent, he would be happy to take it.

"Yes, of course I have to invest. Thirty thousand for one percent of the three million. Zhou Chen, you are a real brother."

He also knew that Zhou Chen was willing to give out three million, so why would he care about his thirty thousand? He was willing to give him one percent of the shares because they were good friends.

When the others heard this, Yu Hao's eyes sparkled and he asked tentatively, "Can we also participate in the investment?"

Zhou Chen said: "Sure, but before investing, I have to make it clear to you that this is just our first venture. No one can say whether it will be successful or not. The chances of losing money are still very high. You have to think carefully."

Others didn't want to invest in the first place. After all, they were just students. It was okay for them to take a few thousand dollars, but it was impossible for them to take out tens or hundreds of thousands.

After thinking about it for a while, Yu Hao decided to forget it. Although he could get money from his family, he felt that what Zhou Chen said made sense.

Following Zhou Chen, there is no need to worry about being out of work. As for shares and such, I don't want to think about them anymore.

"Since everyone is willing to follow me, let me first talk about some plans for our project."

Suddenly, everyone returned to their seats, sat upright, and waited for Zhou Chen's lecture. It really looked like a meeting.

"Although we have decided to do the live broadcast guild project, it still needs to be different from those guilds on the market. My plan is that, except for a small number of professionals, the staff of our project will be recruited from schools, especially the live broadcasters, who must be students of our Southern Communication University."

Bi Shisan frowned and said, "If we only look for people from school, isn't it a bit too risky? Compared with other live broadcasts, aren't we college students who have never entered society too uncompetitive?"

Zhou Chen said: "Your question is correct, but everything has its pros and cons. Although we only look for students from our school, there will be fewer choices, but the expenditure and management will be easier. Students will not ask for a high salary. At the beginning, two or three thousand is enough, and the most is four or five thousand. We can greatly reduce expenditure. Moreover, college students are easier to manage than people in society."

"In addition, we can also cooperate with schools. Nowadays, all universities support students to start their own businesses. Our investment project is definitely a big deal. The school will definitely support it. At that time, we can apply for venues and dormitories from the school, and even invite professional teachers to help guide us."

"We can also apply to the school to use the school's name as the name of our union, the Southern Communication University Union. As long as the content of our live broadcast is not prohibited and is done well, it can also increase the school's reputation. Moreover, if we become bigger, we can also provide internships for the school, as well as some other benefits. I believe that the school's leaders will definitely support us."

"Another very important point is that as long as we can reach a cooperation with the school, our studies will definitely be easier in the future. As long as we can make achievements, we may even become famous alumni when we graduate. Of course, the most practical thing is that getting credits or something will definitely be no problem."

As soon as he heard the word "credits", Xiao Haiyang's eyes lit up. To him, this was very attractive.

"No problem, let's create this project."

Yu Hao scolded angrily: "Xiao Haiyang, shut up and listen to Zhou Chen."

Zhou Chen was not affected and continued, "We are opening up the market with the name of college students. We may not become famous overnight, but we are definitely very different from the guilds in the market now. Therefore, the live broadcasters we recruit in the early stage must have enough characteristics."

"Singing, dancing, playing games, telling jokes, nonsense, etc., etc., as long as it can attract the audience and is not prohibited, we can do it."

Yu Hao: "Your idea is fine, but the problem is, where can we find so many people? We can't just rely on small advertisements to recruit people, right?"

Zhou Chen said: "So what we need most now is someone who has a good understanding of the school and can talk to the school leaders. Let him be responsible for finding people and communicating with the school. Xiao Haiyang, you have been in school for four years. If this job is given to you, can you do it well?"

Xiao Haiyang seemed to be frightened and waved his hands quickly: "No, I can't do it well. Don't have such high expectations of me. Although I have been the Minister of Propaganda for several years, in fact, I am more often a hands-off boss, so my ability is simply not good enough."

Zhou Chen said: "Don't be modest, you still have the ability, but if you really don't want to do this job, then can you recommend a few candidates to me?"

Xiao Haiyang said: "I think we can find one from the student union, but if you really want me to recommend someone, I do know someone, that is my good friend, the former deputy director of the Propaganda Department, Huang Yanwu."
