Chapter 126 Is Mr. Yang Trying to Convey His Illness?
Qianda Plaza, shopping mall, in a coffee shop.
Cheng Fei and her assistant arrived at the appointed place two hours in advance. She picked up the coffee on the table and took a sip, frowning, looking back and forth between the computer screen and the Internet cafe opposite the cafe.
This Internet cafe called "Yutang Internet Cafe" feels a bit weird.
There was no one coming in or out at the entrance of the Internet cafe, and there was a lot of traffic, but the beautiful lady guarding the door politely declined every customer who wanted to enter the Internet cafe.
It doesn't feel like doing business.
The most important thing is that not all those who were refused entry to the Internet cafe left. Many of them stayed at the entrance of the Internet cafe, taking photos and recording videos, and some even came over to start a live broadcast...
It’s a bit like a small internet celebrity check-in point.
With strong curiosity, Cheng Fei searched the Internet for information about this Internet cafe.
This search really turned up something.
Recently, a well-known e-sports team broke through the audition and broke into the secondary league of a certain game.
It stands to reason that this kind of trivial matter would not attract much attention, but because the leader of this team is a petite girl named Ruan Min'er, and her strength has swept all other audition teams, it triggered a wave of craze.
Gimhae is a big city, and there are many people playing games and watching games. Among them, some sharp-eyed people found her at Qianda Plaza in Gimhae, and quickly took pictures and posted them online.
As a result, netizens all knew that this girl’s training base was at Qianda Plaza.
"It's interesting..." Cheng Fei took another sip of coffee, "What's the purpose of moving the training base to such an expensive place?"
"Please ask me to find out the owner of this Internet cafe."
After half an hour, Cheng Fei looked at the computer screen in surprise and whispered in disbelief:
"Is it Kuei Guang Company?! This Internet cafe is actually the property of Kuei Guang Company?"
Cheng Fei suddenly didn't understand.
My partner seems to be very proficient in managing artists, but he seems extremely clumsy when it comes to how to monetize traffic.
The team is obviously well-known, and the training venue is also a place with a lot of traffic, but Kuaiguang Company just doesn't engage in any paid projects, thus losing so many potential paying people.
"No wonder the ability to cultivate artists is so strong, but the scale of the company cannot be increased." Cheng Fei laughed, "It seems that I have to give Mr. Yang a good lesson when I have time and let him learn how to make a profit."
After thinking about it, the female assistant beside me suddenly reminded in a low voice: "Mr. Cheng, Mr. Yang is here."
The partner is here and the time has been advanced five minutes...
Pretty reliable.
Cheng Fei closed the laptop and nodded to Yang Ruoqian: "Just chat?"
It's really just a casual chat... This kind of cooperation project can be discussed either at the wine table or in the conference room.
For a coffee shop, it’s not too formal.
After all, this is not a social event. After Yang Ruoqian sat down, he got straight to the point: "Mr. Cheng, you said you want to make an online drama. Is the script ready? What style do you plan to go? Are you going to cooperate with us only with the leading actor or all the actors? What is the budget?"
Very young, very confident, very frank, pursues high efficiency, and doesn't like to beat around the bush.
This is Cheng Fei's first impression of her partner.
Cheng Fei was tired of socializing with various cups and cups on the wine table, twisting and turning, and testing things back and forth. She wished that one sentence had three meanings.
Collaborators who have something to talk about are the most in line with her.
"The script is ready, I just need you to recommend the male and female protagonists as the leading roles." Cheng Fei glanced at it, and the female assistant understood it, took away the coffee cup on the table, and handed it to the waiter on the side.
Yang Ruoqian didn't pay attention to these details...
Only recommend male and female protagonists?
Everything else is ready?
How can this work?
If we go by what Cheng Fei said, the cost would be too low. If we are unlucky and this online drama has a normal broadcast volume and gets two ads, there is a real chance that it will pay off!
If the company makes money, then Yang Ruoqian's commission will only be a pitiful one-thousandth!
No, if Cheng Fei's plan is followed in full, the risk of profit will be extremely high.
Although Cheng Fei is a rich second-generation entrepreneur, her ability to observe what is happening is not inferior to that of the veterans in the workplace. She is keenly aware that this partner seems to be dissatisfied with the plan for filming the web series.
"Does Mr. Yang have any ideas? You might as well tell him and listen."
Yang Ruoqian tapped the table with his index finger, and the temperament of a successful big boss was instantly revealed. His tone was calm and confident: "Let's talk first, Mr. Cheng. What theme does Mr. Cheng plan to use, what script to write, and which direction to take?"
Are you doubting my ability...
Ha, Cheng Fei can admit that Mr. Yang's ability to cultivate artists is quite good.
But when it comes to how to make money and how to make money, he is a bit too naive.
Cheng Fei said very confidently: "The theme and route are, of course, a low-cost and high-yield romantic comedy. The script is handled by our company's professional screenwriting team, and they all have more than five hit online dramas."
So professional...as expected of a big company.
After listening to Cheng Fei's arrangement, a sense of crisis that could make a profit lingered in Yang Ruoqian's heart, prompting him to become more determined to deny Cheng Fei's plan in all aspects.
"What about casting, do you have any requirements?"
Cheng Fei obviously came prepared: "While ensuring good looks and figure, try to choose small-name actors with good acting skills."
Yang Ruoqian's heart skipped a beat when he heard that Cheng Fei was very organized and only focused on the market, without any ideal or in-depth shooting plans.
It’s over, the market seems to have been really understood by this rich second generation.
It seems that he is not just a rich second generation just playing for fun.
Was it because you were stimulated by recruiting that bad singer, so you suddenly started working hard?
"What about the announcement?" Yang Ruoqian still maintained the confident look just now, "How does President Cheng plan to announce the announcement?"
Seeing that her partners are so firmly on the Diaoyutai, Cheng Fei still maintains her confidence: "Leverage our strengths and avoid weaknesses! We have to use the most attractive parts of the script to attract the expectations of potential audiences. But when it comes to shortcomings, such as photography and special effects, we have to be bold Admit it to lower the audience’s subconscious judgment standards for this web drama.”
"In this way, we can maintain the sense of expectation for online dramas, and the audience will subconsciously lower their requirements for us... This is how word-of-mouth is created."
After hearing these two sentences, Yang Ruoqian almost walked away.
What else is there to do? With such a thorough plan, even if this web drama doesn't become a hit, it can at least land smoothly and give everyone something to drink.
No, you can't be so impulsive.
Yang Ruoqian forced himself to calm down.
Cautious investors are everywhere these days, and it’s not that easy to find rich second-generation people who are prodigal and have little experience...
If you miss this collaborator, the next collaborator may not be so easy to fool.
Judging from the fact that Chengfei Company found such a rubbish singer before, she should still be at the stage where she has ideas, but they are not profound.
Maybe after trying so hard to fool her, she became lame?
Anyway, in the end, Yang Ruoqian will give Cheng Fei a very generous agreement. Even if the entire web series fails, Chengyu Media will still be able to make money, and it will not harm others but benefit itself.
Not wanting to miss this opportunity, Yang Ruoqian secretly took a breath, shook his head slightly, sighed very quietly, and pretended to be disappointed.
Although the range of this movement is small, as long as you are not blind or deaf, you will not be able to see or hear.
Cheng Fei, who originally expected his partners to be impressed and immediately confirmed the cooperation, was suddenly confused.
What does Mr. Yang’s reaction mean?
After doing a lot of research on the market, Cheng Fei, who was well-funded, was immediately unconvinced.
This is the first time that she has taken the initiative to find someone to cooperate with. In the past, others have always come to her for help...
But this was the first time he took the initiative, and he was rejected by his partner?
"Does Mr. Yang think what I said is wrong?"
Yang Ruoqian leaned his back on the seat and said in a neither salty nor cool tone: "Yes, you are wrong. In other words, you are right and wrong at the same time."
After talking nonsense and giving himself a chance to write some manuscripts, Yang Ruoqian continued to talk.
"First of all, it's the subject matter. Although romantic comedies have a wide audience, involution is equally serious. Drought and drought will lead to flooding and death. You can't just look at the successful part, but also need to take into account more parts that have fallen into the sea."
"I know that Chengdu has abundant funds and can conduct in-depth publicity to reduce this risk... However, doing so will also lead to a surge in costs, and many times the gain outweighs the loss."
Cheng Fei frowned when she heard that. She subconsciously felt that what Yang Ruoqian said was wrong, but she couldn't think of anything wrong for a moment, so she could only ask: "Then, which way do you think we should take?"
"We'd better make a theme about urban superpowers." Yang Ruoqian replied with a smile, "First of all, online dramas with this theme are rare on the market, but judging from the sales in the novel market, the audience is still very large. Not bad. The most important thing is that there are few competing products on the market.”
Cheng Fei was stunned for a moment. At this time, she had completely forgotten to maintain her demeanor. She was completely confused: "You, you mean, we are going to make a modern urban martial arts script?"
If it hadn't been confirmed that the person in front of her had miraculously cultivated several popular artists, and the success rate was extremely high, Cheng Fei might not have just slammed the door and left!
What nonsense is this?
There are few competing products on the market... Is it possible that all those who filmed this kind of subject have lost money and gone out of business? !
"Family, martial arts, business wars, heroes, love... we can integrate all the elements together." Yang Ruoqian continued, "Coupled with some gorgeous special effects, I believe it will definitely become a hit."
Cheng Fei: "..."
Not only Cheng Fei, but also Lin Cao, who came to study with Yang Ruoqian, couldn't help but want to complain at this time.
But when he recalled that he had been defeated miserably at the hands of Mr. Yang several times in a row, and that he had been tricked every time, he immediately suppressed his laughter.
Every decision made by Mr. Yang has a deep meaning. It may look funny, but in fact it is not.
As for what the deep meaning is, Lin Cao is not sure yet, but it must be there.
"Mr. Cheng, what Mr. Yang said may sound a bit exaggerated, but think about it, which one of Mr. Yang's anchors didn't start from an unfavorable place?" Seeing that Cheng Fei was a little shaken, Lin Cao immediately answered and stabilized his words. The mood of the partners, "Seizing seemingly impossible opportunities is Mr. Yang's strength. In this regard, he is an expert."
good!
Yang Ruoqian almost gave Lin Cao a thumbs up.
As soon as he said this, Cheng Fei, who was originally wavering, actually showed a thoughtful look.
When Cheng Fei didn't react, Yang Ruoqian immediately skipped the topic and focused on the casting: "There are also casting, love, beauty, good figure... These factors can certainly guarantee the minimum broadcast volume of online dramas, but It also limits its upper limit.”
"Mr. Cheng, sometimes we not only have to consider the revenue of this drama, but also the impact this drama will have on our two companies. If we really choose the actors like this, all the viewers will see in the future whether the producer is Cheng Yu, when you see the actor from Kuangguang, will you subconsciously think that this is an assembly-line industrial saccharine web drama?"
It’s pure fart. Who watches an online drama and checks the producer and the agency of the leading actor?
What about free time?
As the most loyal member of Kuaiguang Company, Lin Cao also raised his head proudly at this time: "We, Mr. Yang, are also good at word-of-mouth operations! This is how our reputation in Kuaiguang is achieved!"
A look of realization suddenly appeared on Cheng Fei's face.
yes……
In order to be conservative and deliver a qualified result, I was so short-sighted and only considered immediate interests but forgot about long-term operations.
What a stupid mistake!
"It makes sense." Cheng Fei was already a little inclined to partially believe Yang Ruoqian, but in order to maintain her image as the boss of a big company, she still maintained her expression, "Mr. Yang continued."
Yang Ruoqian nodded: "So, we should choose one or two leading actors with decent looks, and then choose some supporting characters with ordinary looks and ranging in age from middle-aged to old. Otherwise, it will not be enough to ensure that we win with content. Strong hard power!”
A character who is extremely ugly may become popular.
Yang Ruoqian, who suffered a loss once, would never do it again.
What he wants now is two words, ordinary.
Cheng Fei didn't say she agreed or objected, she just nodded and continued to ask: "What about the announcement?"
Both Kuo Guang and Yang Ruoqian had made impressive achievements, but after all, these words sounded too unbelievable, and it was hard for her to believe them completely for a while.
"High-profile publicity has raised all the expectations of the audience!" Yang Ruoqian showed an absolutely confident smile.
At this time, Cheng Fei's assistant finally couldn't stand listening anymore. She felt that her boss might have been deceived by a big liar, so she reminded her: "Mr. Cheng, you'd better think carefully..."
Are these opinions for filming a web series?
Are you sure it's not some lunatic spouting his crazy words?
However, the assistant didn't know that her words were exactly what Yang Ruoqian wanted.
Yang Ruoqian leaned on the back of his chair with a calm expression: "I can sign an agreement with you. If this drama loses money after being filmed, we will compensate you in full and you don't have to take any risks. How about that?"
The words the female assistant was still speaking were immediately blocked.
Seeing Yang Ruoqian's attitude of never losing money, at this moment, the assistant also began to doubt himself. Is it true that she is old and can't keep up with the times?
Can you really make a lot of money by shooting an urban film that looks like a suture monster?
This absolutely confident gesture also convinced Cheng Fei, who was still a little hesitant, to finally implement Yang Ruoqian's shooting policy.
She was still doubtful, but since there was no risk of losing money, she might as well give it a try.
Even if it fails, you can still make a small profit from the business.
"Okay, I'll do as you said. Regarding the signing of the contract, find a time next week to discuss it in your company. I will bring the employees to visit and learn from it."
"Xiao Feng, go talk to the screenwriting team and change the script according to the route Mr. Yang said."
Hearing this, Yang Ruoqian straightened his body again and quickly stopped him: "Wait a minute."
