Chapter 404: Vientiane Pictures
The dormitory was quiet, and the other three went out. Li Feng took out some snacks from the drawer, turned on the computer while eating, and logged on to the homepage of Youtuan according to the website sent by Zhao Yin.
At present, there are no stores on the Utuan network, and the homepage seems empty, but the overall interface design is fresh and fashionable, and more importantly, it is in line with the "concise" concept advocated by Li Feng, so that users can feel that it is not complicated at all when they log in to the website to search for the group buying service they need.
The first batch of Youtuan.com was launched, mainly food services, mainly offline food shops, mixed with some teahouses, coffee bars, amusement facilities and other group purchase projects.
After all, the total number of Internet users is not much, and most of the Internet users are young people around 20 years old, so paying attention to their usage habits and selecting their group buying needs will open a good channel and gradually popularize the concept of group buying among netizens.
Li Feng registered an account, experienced the whole process in detail, and was basically satisfied with the overall design of the website.
In 2002, such Internet e-commerce products were launched, which has pushed the entire e-commerce industry forward for several years.
From this point of view, Li Feng firmly believes that as long as his group buying website is launched, it will immediately set off a trend, and even revitalize a large number of offline physical stores and integrate their resources.
......
In the past two days, Zhou Shanshan has not been idle, and the day after the phone call with Li Feng, Zhou Shanshan skipped class from high school and came to Jiangzhou City alone.
This time when she came to Jiangzhou, Zhou Shanshan did not inform Li Feng in advance, but wanted to understand the situation first, discussed with Li Feng, and tried to keep a low profile.
Zhou Haichao is also quite helpless about his daughter's behavior, but as a father, he also knows that his little daughter is not the material for learning at all.
Since Zhou Shanshan is suddenly interested in entrepreneurship now, and she is looking for Li Feng to work on a project together, this matter seems to be a bit reliable.
So when Zhou Shanshan proposed to go to Jiangzhou, Zhou Haichao did not object, and approved her for three days to let her go to Jiangzhou to work on a project to see what she could do.
At noon the next day, Zhou Shanshan had already arrived at the Vientiane Film Company in Jiangzhou City.
At this moment, Vientiane Pictures is quiet, and has just experienced a wave of large-scale resignations, and there are currently less than fifteen employees left in the company. The whole company has nothing to do at the moment, and new film and television projects are not available, and a group of employees are staring at the computer in front of their desks in a daze with their eyelids drooping.
The founder Wang Duobao was so sad that he couldn't eat, and his originally chubby and slightly happy face also showed a melancholy temperament, and the beer belly that was originally like being pregnant for six months continued to shrink, becoming a state of being five months pregnant.
During this time, the company had no source of income, and new movies did not dare to be filmed, and Wang Duobao spent most of his time thinking about life.
In the morning, Zhou Shanshan called him and said that she wanted to come and talk to him. Wang Duobao doesn't know what the situation is, Zhou Shanshan is good friends with several third-tier stars signed by the company, and she usually has dealings with him and has eaten a few times.
This girl is a rich second generation, which Wang Duobao knows. At present, the company's financial situation is in a quagmire, if it really can't work, or I will simply ask her to borrow some money to turn around.
At present, the two movies invested by the company are all hitting the streets, and Wang Duobao has almost lost the little money he has accumulated in Xingtiandi Company in the past few years.
What's even more unfortunate is that the company's director of operations suddenly resigned, and even took away all the more than ten people below, resulting in the current Vientiane Pictures almost falling apart, from an elephant to an ant.
And the current more than a dozen people are also uncertain, many people have not left their jobs, just because they have not found a suitable home, once they find a home, they will definitely submit their resignation report immediately, instead of thinking about life here every day.
So these days, Wang Duobao didn't think about tea and dinner, sighed all day long, wondering why a good company suddenly came to such a field.
This actually has a lot to do with his one-sided pursuit of lofty thinking, and now with the continuous development of computer technology, many domestic film and television companies have also begun to learn from Hollywood in the United States and began to produce some computer special effects blockbusters.
However, this kind of film usually has a large investment and a long production cycle, which is not suitable for small film and television companies.
But Wang Duobao wanted to gamble, so the two movies produced in succession were both so-called "special effects blockbusters", but in the current domestic film market, the audience is not interested in domestic special effects blockbusters, especially the script is the shortcoming of domestic films, even if a lot of money is invested to make the picture very good-looking, but the plot is naïve and boring, and it still can't attract the audience.
What's more, with the computer animation technology in 2002, domestic special effects blockbusters still give people a feeling of five-cent special effects, and there is a big gap between them and imported blockbusters.
Wang Duobao invested nearly 10 million in the two films, plus some investments from other film production companies and some investment institutions, a total investment of 40 million, and about 30 million was lost.
In addition to Wang Duobao's Vientiane Pictures, Flying Fish Pictures and Skycity Pictures also lost a lot of money, each losing about 8 million.
In this way, these three film companies have almost entered a period of running out of ammunition and food, among which all the management of Amagi Pictures has resigned, and they are almost about to go out of business, Vientiane Pictures and Flying Fish Pictures are also struggling to support, and it is estimated that they are short of the last straw from bankruptcy.
At twelve o'clock in the afternoon, most of the employees walked out of the office and began to go to the street to forage for food.
At this time, Zhou Shanshan stepped into the door of Vientiane Film Company, only to see that the company was empty, and when she looked ahead, she saw Wang Duobao who was in a daze in the general manager's office.
"Brother Duobao, I'm here. Zhou Shanshan took off her white sun hat and waved at Wang Duobao with a smile.
"Oh, Sansan, welcome, welcome. Wang Duobao came back to his senses at this time, barely squeezed out a stiff smile on his face, beckoned Zhou Shanshan to sit down, gave her a cup of tea, and said, "Shanshan, haven't you already started school, why do you have time to come and sit with me?"
"It's the beginning of school, but you know, I can't learn at all, so I make excuses to sneak out and have fun. Zhou Shanshan said, "I heard Sister Huan say that the box office of the last movie "Doomsday Soldier" was not very good. ”
