Chapter 453 Do You Thank Me Just because I Know You?
Seeing that Mr. Yang fell into silence again, Qi Mu quickly took out his mobile phone, flipped a photo from the album, and handed it to Yang Ruoqian.
The location above looked familiar - just last night, Yang Ruoqian was in a small room not far away, across a single glass plate, and saw Luo Ruying, a synthetic AI, and the human body of Kuiguang Group had done the biggest backstab to him.
Even the group's logo symbol backstabbed him, and this life was really about to become unbearable.
In the photo, the holographic projector when Luo Ruying appeared yesterday was surrounded by fans who came to see her.
People who were far away took photos with their mobile phones, and those who were close simply started to interact with Luo Ruying AI and had a lot of fun.
Yang Ruoqian was a little unreasonable: "What time is this photo? It's only 10 o'clock in the morning. They didn't skip work to see Luo Ruying?"
Or did they get up early and arrive at the scene before work?
In either case, it looks very crazy, okay?
Qi Mu took the phone back and said seriously: "Mr. Yang, I thought you were focusing on the IP of the anime characters, not Luo Rujin. It seems that I was wrong."
Yes, there is also anime image!
I was hit hard by the bad news about Luo Rujin in the past two days, and I actually forgot about this.
Yang Ruoqian immediately asked: "How is the progress of the group's anime image?"
Since the secretary just turned around and left without reporting, it shouldn't be a big deal, right?
Qi Mu's reply was as he expected: "Boss Yang, the operation department planned to release the anime image and Luo Ruying's real identity at the same time, but we urgently looked at the discussions about Luo Ruying on various forums this morning and found that most people think that the prototype of the anime image is Luo Ruying, and the difference between the two is the real version and the comic version."
"We think that we should not misplace the fans' expectations, so we plan to let the anime image production department make some minor adjustments and release it later."
Yang Ruoqian now has a headache when he hears the three words Luo Ruying, and waved his hand to drive the secretary out of the office: "Okay, I know, let's do it."
After Qi Mu left, Yang Ruoqian rarely opened the game to play for fun.
Instead, he summarized the company's recent situation.
It would be better if he didn't summarize. Once he summarized, Boss Yang found that he couldn't say that his future was bright, but at least he was surrounded by enemies.
First of all, Kong Feifei, the winner of the variety show, received her first wave of resources and starred in a classic martial arts adaptation action film. The contrast brought by the punches and the face of Kong Feifei actually set off a big retro wave.
Let the declining martial arts film once again burst into unparalleled popularity.
There are even directors who want to adapt the story of a modern martial arts master and make this story into a movie. He is actively contacting the person in charge of the group, hoping to get support.
And under the leadership of Kong Feifei, her girl group finally ushered in a wave of healthy development, and her career is moving forward steadily.
The variety show that was previously held at a high cost now vaguely sees some signs of return, which makes people feel a little scary.
Yang Ruoqian was silent for a while after watching the first "Chu Ge".
"People are doing Renaissance now? It's been several years and they're still making martial arts films? Then make them. Send Kong Feifei over and find a hardcore martial arts actor. Just make them. I don't believe that going against the trend can still be popular."
As for Kang Yuanqing, who won the second place in variety shows, he took the traditional route. His development speed was not as fast as Kong Feifei, but because of his very solid basic skills, extremely strong business capabilities in the traditional field of the entertainment industry, and the exposure of resources provided by the group, he gradually became the focus of many people's discussions.
"Forget it, it's expected."
Yang Ruoqian was too lazy to count how much profit this variety show duo would bring to him, and continued to think about other things.
After the variety show duo, it was Mag's business.
There are already world-class IP giants who want to buy the IP of "Black Robe Inspection Team", which is enough to show that the situation is very grim. Even if Yang Ruoqian rejected the offer, it was just a delaying tactic, and it was only a matter of time before the thunder broke out.
Yang Ruoqian threw a large number of capable directors and veteran actors into the crew of "Black Robe Inspection Team 2", and then opened other projects when they were not busy. This was originally a strategy of abandoning the car to save the master. Although this thunder is big, it is also under control.
I hope "Wandering Blue Star 2" will not let me down...
I heard that the chances of winning the overseas rights protection are very high. The first judgment is very favorable to the group. The local judge obviously tends to agree with Mag's claim.
I hope that the infringing party fighting at home can hold on for a while. If they get a sky-high compensation this quarter, it will be a bloody storm again.
What comes after the movie and copyright is naturally Luo Ruying, the virtual star symbolizing the Kuiguang Group.
Let alone Luo Ruying's direct cash-in ability to buy as many souvenirs as she produces, she herself, as the first real AI star, has a huge potential development value.
For example, many people on the Internet are discussing how to let Luo Ruying star in a movie with the AI crisis as the background, and the AI "mastermind" in the movie is set in the Kuiguang Group. How exciting it would be.
Some people also suggested that Kuiguang Group launch a small program or app, which would allow people to communicate directly with Luo Ruying through devices such as computers or mobile phones, rather than having to go offline as it is now.
Even if online conversations are charged, there are countless people willing to pay this money.
In short, there are profitable projects everywhere. Now that the Kuiguang Group is not in a hurry to open these projects, many people are urging General Manager Yang to open them quickly. They can't wait.
What happened after Luo Ruyin was that the number of game reservations exceeded many people's expectations.
This game company only holds a part of the group, and basically sits and waits for the share. General Manager Yang can't interfere with the game project like he interferes with other projects.
It's hard to sit still when you think about the appearance when the dividends arrive.
"Looking up, there is not a single loyal minister or good general." General Manager Yang once again sighed about the current situation of the group, "Do you want to pin all your hopes for this quarter on "Wandering Blue Star 2"? "
In fact, although each project has been very successful this quarter, the investment is actually huge.
The cost of the Luo Ruyin project alone is astronomical.
Due to its excessive investment, even if the concert sells well, even if the souvenirs sell well, even if the TV series is a great success, even if the IP value is huge, from this quarter, the expenditure must be greater than the income.
It's just that the revenue of other projects is equally large, which overshadows the expenditure of Luo Ruying.
For projects like Luo Ruying, which have high initial R&D costs and only need maintenance in the later stage, the harm will only be truly highlighted in the future.
But let the future people figure out a solution.
We must always believe in the wisdom of future generations.
As long as "Wandering Blue Star 2" can flop at the box office, the group has a chance to make a loss this quarter.
"Ask Guo Fan to see how the filming of the movie is going and whether I need to mess around." Yang Ruoqian sorted out his thoughts for this quarter, took out his mobile phone, and found Guo Fan's contact information.
"Director Guo, is the filming of the movie going smoothly? Can your body withstand such high-intensity work?"
Guo Fan replied to the message almost at the speed of light: "Mr. Yang, I am in very good health, don't worry about me."
After answering the physical questions first, he typed a little slower and continued to reply: "The filming was orderly, and everyone was quite satisfied after watching it. With the accumulation of the previous part and the support of the original fans, I believe the box office results will not be very bad."
In fact, Guo Fan made things a little simpler.
The entire crew was more than satisfied with the movie, as he said. It can be said that they were very, very satisfied with it.
Especially in the movie, the scene of the 90,000-kilometer-high space elevator taking off, the magnificent building composed of various exquisite metal parts and extremely futuristic beauty, made everyone including the screenwriter, original author and actors feel shocked from the bottom of their hearts.
You know, the highest peak on Earth, Mount Everest, is only 8,849 meters, less than 9 kilometers.
You can imagine how spectacular a building at a height of 90,000 kilometers is.
Putting it on the big screen, Guo Fan is confident that he can shock all the audiences - even those who are not so interested in science fiction will inevitably be shocked.
And in the end, this majestic space elevator will be connected to the space station in the first part of "Wandering Blue Planet", completing the linkage of the plot and the picture with the first part.
Of course, as an older generation of filmmakers, he will not say too much before the movie is released and before the box office comes out.
On the one hand, as a creator, he needs to be humble.
On the other hand, no matter how confident he is in his work, he needs to wait for the market's response.
If the market reaction is not good in the end, it will be embarrassing for me to make such a big promise in advance.
Guo Fan already knew what kind of person Yang Ruoqian was, so there was no need to use any hypocritical words to be polite. Just do your best and leave it to fate.
"Director Guo, you can add any ideas you have in the movie. You don't need to worry too much about the box office." Yang Ruoqian was not very satisfied with the answer just now, and said indirectly, "You are a creator, you don't need to consider so many things."
Guo Fan replied quickly: "Mr. Yang, you can rest assured. If necessary, we can send you the original film, but it has not been edited yet, and you may not have the patience to watch it."
The original film of the movie and the edited film can be said to be two completely different things.
Especially for science fiction blockbusters like "Wandering Blue Star", the content of the movie contains a lot of special effects, and the original film can be described as "terrible".
Yang Ruoqian is not a novice, and he immediately refused: "It's okay, no, you can handle it yourself."
Listening to Guo Fan's words, he seems to be a little confident about the content of the movie.
But it is not the kind of rhetoric that is particularly sure that it will become a hit.
"Instead of starting with the movie itself, I'll start from the perspective of publicity and promotion. Is that okay?"
Although Yang Ruoqian did not participate in the filming of the movie, he set the tone of the movie - it's called the second part, but it's actually a prequel, and many actors in the first part did not appear in the second part.
Therefore, when promoting and promoting, try to promote "Wandering Blue Star 2" as if it is particularly related to the first part.
After the movie is released, the audience will probably call the publicity fake.
Although it will not affect the reputation of the movie, it will definitely have a negative effect on the box office of the movie.
This will allow General Manager Yang to achieve his goal.
The promotion of the movie is Cheng Yu's business. After determining the next policy, Yang Ruoqian sent a message to Cheng Fei to let her know.
After confirming that there is no problem with the promotion and promotion, Yang Ruoqian continued to focus on the summary of this quarter to see where there is still room for improvement.
After taking a look, Yang Ruoqian really saw something he hadn't noticed before.
"Since cooperating with Mager to promote IP abroad, Yan Jinyu's external department has a lot more work."
Before, Yan Jinyu's external department was basically in a state of having nothing to do.
It was a miracle to get an hour of work a week.
But as the footsteps of the Kuiguang Group began to move towards the international market and Luo Ruyin's reputation began to radiate all over the world, the work of Yan Jinyu's department gradually increased.
"The workload has increased, but the salary has not increased, and the company department has not increased its staff. How can this be? This is not in line with the Kuiguang spirit!"
Yang Ruoqian saw the room for optimization and immediately notified Lu Shuyuan of the Human Resources Department to start preparing to recruit more people for Yan Jinyu's department.
As for Yan Jinyu's opinion, it was really not an important matter, just notify her.
Mr. Yang only needs a number, a number that can eat up the company's salary. What specific work these numbers should do and how to do it, then it's time to test the wisdom of employees.
"Very good... As long as there are no major problems with Wandering Blue Star 2, there is still hope that we can lose some money this quarter." Yang Ruoqian looked at the orderly handling of various matters and nodded with satisfaction, "Next quarter, when Luo Ruqin starts to work hard, it will be even harder to lose money."
Just after complaining about the crazy people and crazy AI people in the group who charge 10 cents but do 12 points of work, the phone on the table suddenly rang.
It was an internal call, probably from the front desk.
Yang Ruoqian picked up the phone and asked, "What's the matter?"
The voice of the girl at the front desk came: "Mr. Yang, a student, teacher and principal of a school want to thank you in person. Please go and speak. Do you have time? Secretary Qi asked me to call you directly."
What the hell? Is the counselor from the previous university here again?
Yang Ruoqian was stunned for a moment and asked, "What school, what's the name of the person?"
The girl at the front desk reported a string of very unfamiliar names, obviously not the counselor from Jinhai University
Hearing these completely unfamiliar names, Mr. Yang felt a little dizzy: "Wait, who are these people? Do I know them? Why do they thank me?"
The receptionist stopped reading the list and reminded: "Mr. Yang, do you remember the charity fund you set up before?" (End of this chapter)
