Chapter 924: Variety Show Detective Class
This was an unplanned thing, and the reason why I agreed reluctantly was because Chu Yuanxi really planned to do the operation of the two overseas East Asian countries by himself. One sheep is also to drive two sheep and let go, and if you want to go to the rice country to operate "Wudao Dusk Jun", the island country area and the universe area are nothing more than adding two other localized operations.
Of course, Monica certainly doesn't think so......
This overseas operation, according to the division of labor and structure, is also the work of the Gobi Network, which belongs to Zhao Jie. But in fact, the Baren Group hired a director-level manager with experience in overseas distribution and experience in the operation of Google and Facebook in the United States to operate on behalf of the company, which was originally intended to be directly under Monica's subordinates. In this way, Monica's subordinates have formed a structure similar to the "International Affairs Business Group", which has its own small world, some are for media, some are for distribution, and some are for operation.
But now that Knight Mabao has taken over the island country and the universe country as usual, the workload of this business group has been sharply reduced by half, which is where Chu Yuanxi agreed more reluctantly.
This is equivalent to sacrificing some opportunities to exercise, but the short-term effect is good. Knight Mabao is more professional, and after it is operated, the fan absorption capacity of Ba Ren's overseas account will definitely be higher than that of its own. Of course, it is conditional for Knight Mabao to accept that the advertising space in the mobile game "Wudao Dujun" is full of short videos of Pakistani people, and they must adjust the payment points and paid props when they "localize" the two countries in East Asia, so as to be able to make money. This is not an income for the Pakistanis, but a price.
Through this twist and turn, Chu Yuanxi found that the establishment of a more large-scale and capable overseas department of the Ba Ren Group already needs to be put on the agenda, because in the future, "Enemies of Rome" will definitely focus on going overseas, and it must be able to exert force, and it is best to exert force as you like.
The so-called freewheeling efforts, for example, when "Out of the Troubled Times" was released, a crucial factor was the H5 proposed by Zhao Jie, which carried out a successful viral marketing.
This is based on the objective situation of the domestic social network that is very familiar to his own side to put forward and implement, and Zhao Jie promised that he could not mention it if it was replaced by the Internet. Even if it is proposed, no one will do it, because the group of people around Chu Yuanxi are not familiar with social networks such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and so on, and they know what to do, but they don't know how to do it.
In other words, it is certainly not possible to count on Monica alone. At a minimum, it is necessary to bring in overseas game publishers and experts in overseas operations. For overseas operations, Chu Yuanxi's requirement is that the operation team can put forward specific and feasible operational opinions and landing plans, preferably based on social networks, followed by the advertising purchase model, hugging the thighs of Google and Facebook, and finally offline.
To go offline, the most once and for all way is to establish a branch in a foreign country, and then the specific things are implemented by the branch, but the most important market at this moment is North America, Chu Yuanxi is still hesitant to establish a branch in the United States.
And Monica has to start having a headache, because she doesn't have a good candidate for game operation and publishing, and this candidate is preferably a native of the United States.
So, Monica thought of Elizabeth, and Chu Yuanxi thought of Wenhao. To this day, not only through Elizabeth, the Ba Ren Group has been connected with Disney and DreamWorks respectively, asking the other party to help come up with some ideas, and it should still be okay to choose for individuals, especially Disney itself has a game department, although it has been abolished, but I also asked Chu Yuanxi if he had any intention of buying, although he rejected it at that time.
But Wenhao is a better candidate, people have worked in Google, Facebook and Xiaomi, and the operation talent or something definitely knows more than one company, and the game release is not easy to say, but it is not possible.
"Wenhao, hello, hello, no, no, yes, yes, yes, I can't send you gift packs in the future, the whole game is resold to Ali hahaha. Chu Yuanxi took the phone and smiled dryly, as if she felt the other party's contemptuous gaze.
As soon as he said what he needed to ask for, Hugo directly got Chu Yuanxi's original intention: "You mean, let me provide a candidate to work in your company, instead of staying in Seattle or the Bay Area to work, right?"
"Yes, yes, we must come to the company, otherwise it is inconvenient to communicate, we need to plan the plan, and we can't completely expect the operation manager to plan a complete set of plans and then direct the company's program apes to develop the corresponding functions. ”
"That's not a low cost. ”
"It's okay, the game just sold less than $5 billion. ”
There was a low curse on the other side of the phone, probably because Ali Zhen was rich or something. Although Wenhao also earned almost 200 million dollars through Xiaomi's IPO, 5 billion is still quite a shocking figure.
"Okay, I'll find you a few candidates. Wenhao hung up the phone happily.
Originally, Chu Yuanxi planned to wait for Wenhao's call or message the next day, but there were unforeseen circumstances, and the next day was the 27th, and when he got up in the morning and didn't go to work, he saw that Qi Yu, Zhu Xiao and Li Zifeng's circle of friends was a little wrong. Not only them, but also many other WeChat friends in the film and television industry, sending out all kinds of prayer charts, what's wrong? What are the new rules of the country?
I didn't care about it at the time, but when he arrived at the company and went to Xiaokang to take a turn, he was about to look for Zhao Jie, when Uncle Sheng suddenly pulled him down: "Let's also go to the "Jixia School Palace" to visit the class, right?"
"Did something happen?" Chu Yuanxi was stunned for a moment.
He has been nagging to go to the exploration class, because the first season of "Jixia School Palace" should be about to finish filming, and it always feels appropriate that the boss will not show up before the finale. After all, this is the first major project of the Pakistani media, and even from the perspective of supporting Zhu Wei's work, he should personally stand on the stage. But I've been busy with other things, and the priority of such a trivial thing as visiting the class is naturally pushed back infinitely.
"You didn't watch the news?" Uncle Sheng was quite surprised, "There was an accident over there in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Taiwan, the filming intensity of the variety show was too great, and Godfrey had an accident at night......"
"Ah!" Chu Yuanxi suddenly understood what was going on with the painting style in the circle of friends in the morning, and besides, Uncle Sheng suddenly pulled him to visit the class, "Jixia School Palace" is also a variety show, and the filming is also very hard, Chu Yuanxi said that it was just right at this time.
The two hurriedly drove to the set in the South Fourth Ring Road, and it was almost noon when they arrived at the place, and the crew was preparing to go to work.
Don't look at "Jixia School Palace" is a dramatic indoor variety show, not large-scale and not outdoor, the game links are basically intellectual puzzles and mutual spitting, but the props, lighting, actors, and stage art still need a lot of staff to operate, and there are also a lot of professional audiences, and a large group of people will be busy from noon to night or even early morning once they start work.
Therefore, Chu Yuanxi's exploration class has to be explored before filming, otherwise it will be a mess. It is said that some crews start counting money from 0:00 because the venue starts at 0:00, so they start shooting all day directly from midnight, and they don't know if they can turn a day into 36 hours, which is super money-saving.
Of course, there is no need for Ba Ren Media to be so picky, but the filming of variety shows is different from film and television dramas, they are all cut immediately after filming, and post-production is done immediately after cutting, so it is a cycle of scrolling, so for example, if you need to make up a shot, you need to make up for it at the time, and it is easy to delay time, and it will be midnight after one delay.
However, domestic variety shows have always been like this, so the stars have nothing to complain about, even super big names such as Dong Chou and Mr. Wang have to abide by this rule when they do variety shows.
"Jixia School Palace" did not invite such a big name, but the lineup is not weak. Qi Yu is the host, playing the role of the saltless queen in the field, Li Zifeng is the leading artist of Baren Media, and the role is Zou Yan, a yin and yang family.
The titular protagonist in this variety show is Yasheng Mencius, and in the end Zhang Yishan played it, he is the cast that Qi Yu helped to code. Zhang Yishan was popular all over the country when he was a child star in the past, and now he has become a powerful faction, but in any case, the coffee position still belongs to the first-line ranks, but unfortunately the traffic of the powerful faction is almost there.
However, the cast that Zhu Wei personally coded was Teacher Huang Jue and the handsome guy Jing Boran, which was enough to make up for the lack of traffic, the former played the King of Qi, and the latter was a Taoist celebrity Huanyuan during the Warring States Period. Teacher Huang Jue has an outstanding temperament, he is a clear stream in variety shows, although he is old, his popularity is unexpectedly not low; needless to say, Jing Boran became famous as soon as he caught it, and then he was extremely active in singing, dubbing, movies, variety shows, etc.
In addition, there are also those who bring money into the group, one is Xiao Yang in the spoon brothers, and he plays Gongsun Long, who is the famous "White Horse Not Horse", and he is the number one in the ranking of debaters in the long history of the Celestial Empire for 5,000 years.
The other is the badminton national player Bao Chunlai, his agent took a lot of effort to catch Zhu Wei's line, and then found that Zhu Wei was very welcome, and quickly took on a role, and finally assigned Shen Buxian.
What is more reassuring about this lineup is that they have all been on variety shows, among which Mr. Huang's sense of variety shows is very strong, and the others are not weak, if there are shortcomings, there is Baisha to remedy them.
When Chu Yuanxi and Uncle Sheng arrived, they were talking about the scene. Baisha's habit is to talk about the past from star to star, what is the incident today, what is the cause, what is the external environment, what is the mentality of each character, who should be sprayed, who should be temporarily allied with, and so on, and then the lines. In variety shows, actors have a lot of room to play their lines, especially male stars, as long as they understand the ins and outs and find their own starting point, the lines are not a problem.
didn't want to disturb Baisha's work, Chu Yuanxi quietly sat in the audience after being accepted into the set by Yang Yuanmei, and Zhu Wei immediately came over, and the four earliest content teams in the Ba Ren Entertainment period got together in this seemingly closed open space for a long time.
"What's that, I didn't say it, Zhu Xiao and Mei Yangyang, you first match the ambulance and first-aid equipment. Chu Yuanxi didn't see any preparations related to rescue when he came in, "Although we are not outdoor sports, but the work intensity is also very high, why don't you even have an oxygen inhalation device? ”
Yang Yuanmei rolled her eyes, and said in her heart If it weren't for this incident this morning, would you think of this?
Zhu Wei obediently raised his hand to surrender, and immediately arranged for an assistant to handle this matter, and then stopped talking.
"If you have something, just say it, you're welcome. Chu Yuanxi still remembered that Zhu Wei hung up his phone, and when he looked closer, he found that Zhu Yan had little collagen on his face, and he was obviously tired enough recently. "Idiot, you also have to pay attention to rest, and leave it to Yang Yuanmei if you have something. You don't have to do everything yourself. ”
Yang Yuanmei's white eyes suddenly showed a trend of evolving into reincarnated eyes, and Zhu Wei's eyes lit up, thinking that Chu Yuanxi was coming out of the sun in the west?
She said righteously: "If you want to say tired, who is not tired? Baisha is more tired than me, and celebrities are more tired than Baisha." ”
Chu Yuanxi looked at it, the others were not familiar, and saw that Li Zifeng's face in the field was indeed a little tired, maybe it was a little unbearable to rotate for many days, but although he was tired, he could see that his heart was very high, and his eyes were quite focused. He joined the "Jixia School Palace" group immediately after filming "Out of the Mountain in Troubled Times", although the work intensity is not low, but in his original words, it is impossible to have such a full work arrangement in the past many years.
And originally he was the lowest coffee in this group of casts, even if Bao Chunlai crossed over, he would be a sports star and a national player. But with the release of "Out of the Mountains in Troubled Times", the webcast data exploded, and it is impossible for him to become the male protagonist, and there is no need to feel inferior now.
"And what's the matter with you?"
When he asked Zhu Wei, he looked at Yang Yuanmei, and sure enough, Yang Yuanmei took over the right to speak: "I want to launch a new variety show." ”
Chu Yuanxi, who screamed this "idiot", got goosebumps!
Uncle Sheng was unaware and asked, "New variety show? Is it the fitness one?"
"No, no, no. Zhu Wei hurriedly waved his hand, "Fitness, it's really hard to find stars, in addition to Li Zifeng, the more suitable body management is Peng Yuyan and Wolf Warrior, Zhang Zhen seems to be okay, but the coffee position is too big, I'm afraid it can't be covered." And this kind of show is more suitable, and the acting school itself is not very suitable. ”
"And what do you have in mind?"
"Later, I made it up with Mei Yangyang, and I felt that the business administration training you pulled us to your house was actually quite fun. In essence, it is a large-scale role-playing + simulated management of the live game, there are grouping, there is cooperation, there is competition, the bank is actually the host, isn't it very suitable for making a variety show? And it is easy to shoot the second and third seasons, different types, what is it called? Ah yes, the track, you can do it again a few times on different tracks. ”
"Yes, yes, we have all thought of a name, it's called "Waiting for Me to Be President". There is actually no threshold for variety show stars, anyone can come, and it must be no problem to find those who meet the character of the domineering president, such as Brother Xiao Ming. Yang Yuanmei looks very well-behaved, which is completely inconsistent with her usual painting style, especially when she was "reincarnated in the eye" just now.
So much so that Chu Yuanxi immediately asked, "What's the situation with you, Yang Yuanmei, this is not like you?"
"Don't you want me to work hard again? Do you think, other people's CPs have to watch the show, I'm different, I want whoever forms the CP to pull them together. Isn't it super burning and super feeling when you think about it?"
"Do you know why Xiao Xianrou was rampant a few years ago, and it was called the choice of mainstream audiences?" This time it was Chu Yuanxi's turn to roll his eyes, "Because there are a few aunts who are responsible for purchasing TV series on satellite TV who like it, it is called the choice of mainstream audiences." You're a crazy aunt, save it!"
"You're just an aunt, no, uncle, it's not right, you're an uncle, I'm still a girl. ”
Yang Yuanmei was crazy and thought, Zhu Wei pulled her and asked: "Will it succeed or not?" This show actually has a certain threshold, but we are a start-up company, so it is just right to do this. ”
Chu Yuan Xixin said that Zhu Wei is okay, he has not seen a rise in the level for a few days, and he can even say such a professional term as "track" without reminding himself.
In fact, this training was not invented by Chu Yuanxi, but used by many large enterprises to enlighten new management positions. Most of the so-called new management positions are the backbone of the promotion from R&D and operation lines, and they are very good at doing business, but they are completely unfamiliar with finance, business planning, policy interpretation, etc., and at least similar concepts can be implanted through games, so as not to lack roots in their heads.
Specifically, it is very simple, N people in each team, some people are CEOs, some people are CTOs, etc., the CXO titles of the company are divided, and then the bank controls the timeline and is responsible for lending to each company.
The hard rule in the game is that everyone must be in the same industry, and after the starting gun is fired, each company operates according to the annual time unit, and there is a competitive relationship between each other. The business content is nothing more than recruiting employees, developing a certain technology, investing in product lines, purchasing raw materials, selling products, etc., which are basically the most simplified business processes, and the financing is all collateral loans, and does not involve equity financing.
For example, when a company invests in a product line, the CFO can veto the company's investment decision based on the bank's product expectations for the next few years, the investment cost and construction period of the product line.
The two most important points in the rules of the game are that only businesses that make a profit in the current year can apply for a loan for the next year, while businesses that lose money do not need to pay taxes. But the game is also relatively rigid to stipulate the types of products that all companies can choose from, the range of choices is not large, and they are all on the same track, it is easy to collide with other teams, which is also the essence of this game.
At the end of each year, banks will announce the latest interest rate policies, which often catch companies off guard, and will also release the latest market trends, adjust the profit expectations of various products in the next few years, and even launch new products and corresponding product line investment prices and R&D prices, and formulate loan strategies to encourage innovation.
One of the most hateful points is that banks will also temporarily adjust the prices of products in the new fiscal year according to last year's market conditions, mainly the crash of each company's products, so that they will fluctuate on the basis of forecasts.
