Chapter 1000 A difficult task for Yang Jiangang

(It's 1000 chapters)

Chu Yuanxi hurriedly stayed when he saw that it was a serious matter, but he didn't expect Liu Lu to actually say: "My friend said, didn't the Huo Shao League of Tuchuang 101 be disbanded in June this year?

"What the hell is a transfer?" Chu Yuan Xixin said, this sounds fresh. Of course he understands the transfer in professional football, and he is also a pseudo-fan, but the artist agent has never heard of transfers, only about contract termination and head breaking.

The most ruthless battle is undoubtedly the Kun among the three aquatic giants, not only is the identity of a personal trainee when he is practiced, but also a lawsuit with the former owner at the same time, and he took the C position of the occasional practice with his head, and the number of votes is a faulty lead, which makes it impossible to think of a black box operation.

Unexpectedly, Liu Lu also asked a similar question to him, and then took out his mobile phone to show Chu Yuanxi, and found that the other party really wanted to pioneer this model in China. He found that the other party did not seem to be the boss of a brokerage company, but a role similar to that of a broker, who could form such a game, equivalent to a market maker in the financial market.

In the final analysis, the model of group debut is also the first time in China, and the artists who are originally attributed to various brokerage companies have to sign two contracts, which are subject to double restrictions, which is indeed different from ordinary artists.

But this matter is not so simple, because there is no contract subcontract sale in law, and the artist contract has never heard of signing a contract with subject A and then transferring to subject B is still valid. If you have to get it, it is the "sign first and then change" model in the NBA, which is more reliable by analogy.

And even if there is room for maneuverability in legality, Chu Yuanxi thought about it for a while, and still shook his head regretfully at Liu Lu, "This, I'm not interested in it anyway." ”

"Hey, I think the Ba people signed some artists last year, and they are basically not much better than amateurs. How come female artists with few fires are much better than amateurs, right?"

Liu Lu has indeed reached the age of watching variety shows, and it is also said that he knows more about various groups. But she definitely doesn't know about the Ba people's media and the Ba people's information, and the various departments of the Ba people have to write abridged summaries and submit them to Chu Yuanxi on a regular basis.

Recently, he happened to read a report by Yang Yuanmei that wrote about Huo Shao, and then took the keyword and asked a certain Hu to search for it, and found that what he said was more interesting. Then he fell into a conflict: should he praise Yang Yuanmei for not cutting some content to deal with an abridgement, or should he criticize her for not even being as good as a certain answer?

I only heard Chu Yuanxi say: "I don't know if you have noticed the situation of less fire, every member is remarkable, it has been a year and a half since becoming a group, is there anything else to say besides "Calories"? "Calories" is still the first work, which is equivalent to a cliff-like decline in the back. ”

In fact, there is a more elegant way to describe it, which is used to describe the young players of the NBA Lakers, called "gathering is a piece of, scattering is a sky full of stars", in the Lakers is the talent visible through the astronomical telescope, leaving the Lakers to enter the All-Star immediately. However, according to the report, there should be no chance for a female artist with few fires to scatter into a starry sky, and there is a high probability that there is only one star left to surpass her sister.

"Oh, why can't you become a group?" Liu Lu can't say that Huo Shao is as good as a few family treasures because she mainly watches men's groups, but Huo Shao is so popular in 2018 that it's hard for her to think about it.

"Hey, you think about it, if you are the head of this group, but you also have a brokerage company in your own hands, which belongs to the same industry. This group has a time limit, and your friends and businessmen have to point fingers before it expires, and after the expiration date, they will go back to their respective homes, they are direct competitors to your artists, what will you do?"

Liu Lu was stunned directly, only to hear Chu Yuanxi say: "Use your brain to do the draft and your ass to do business, this can be regarded as integrity, right? Why am I not interested? Because I'm quite unoptimistic except for surpassing my sister, and it's likely to be completely confused when I disband, and it is impossible for you to transfer beyond my sister. I'd be a little interested if they disbanded on the spot today, and I don't need to say too clearly why, right?"

Liu Lu really understands that it is not easy to hold people up, but it is definitely easy to smash down. "But Chu Yuanxi, do you say that it's a bit too much? Xuanyi's appearance will be confused? Monsanto even acted in "Zhu Xian"?"

"Oh, you're a pure layman, so don't talk to me. Chu Yuanxi was reluctant to beat Liu Lu, "Your Shanzhi brother has nothing in common except that she is a woman with Baguio, and she is the one I am most disoptimistic about." Xuanyi is okay, but she can't transfer.

Huo Shaoli is really likely to come out of the dark horse that only ranks tenth in his debut in addition to surpassing his sister, Fu Mingsi, but he has planned a route for himself as an actor, and his acting skills are really good. She is not easy to be confused, even if she will be confused for a while, there is still hope for fire in the future. ”

It's a pity that Fu Mingsi is unlikely to transfer, because Yang Yuanmei not only gave him an abridgement, but also gave him data. According to the number and degree of participation of artists in film and television dramas, variety shows, music, commercial endorsements, singing and dancing rap, fashion activities, etc., Fu Mingsi surprisingly ranked third behind Xuanyi.

Considering that Fu Mingsi's appearance is very capable of fighting, and she is one of the few people in the Huo Shao Group who will not form a disaster if she is in the same frame as her sister without makeup, the actual situation may be higher than the data feedback, and the capital behind her will definitely not allow the transfer as long as she is not stupid, unless the price is unreasonable.

Liu Lu is not interested in Fu Mingsi, which is also normal, just like why Brother Chun's appeal was so great in the Super Girl era, the appearance of female fans is definitely different from that of male fans.

So Liu Lu also cares more about Monsanzhi: "Hey, I have to focus on breaking with you, otherwise I won't be able to reply to my friend." Why are you least optimistic about Monsanto?"

Chu Yuan Xixin said that this broker actually wants to operate the Monsanto branch transfer, right? Indeed, at first glance, if the transfer is allowed, the transaction value is relatively large, and it is indeed Xuanyi who is more popular in their company.

Liu Lu is his own person, and there is no need for him to hide it, "Shanzhi is really not good, the result of waiting for more than a year of commercial endorsement is micro-business, and this face has been lost in the Mariana Trench, which is lower than Lu Yu's lower limit." Besides, her fans are too much, they are all in a group, and fans spread rumors every day to surpass her sister.

This is to surpass my sister's high emotional intelligence, plus the company behind it is small and unmoving. If she surpasses her sister and is a signed artist of the Ba people, I can't bear it myself, and the ashes are all raised to her! There are so many black materials that I can't even see her fans, and it's so bad that I'm embarrassed to say it, but who are they doing? ”

After listening to this evaluation, Liu Lu was speechless, because the low EQ of Shanzhi is rare, and even people like her, who don't swipe Weibo much, know it. Others record programs and post Weibo pictures and post group photos, only she only posts herself. Everyone else helped her publicize, but she never helped others publicize, and the contacts between people were mutual, so no one in the whole group promoted "Zhu Xian" later, which was already very amazing from the perspective of being a person.

"Now, you can't deny a person because of a person's fans or the operation team, right? Besides, is the emotional intelligence that surpasses my sister as high as you say?" she said curtly, but how to reply to her friend is counted.

Chu Yuanxi already wanted to leave, and said in his heart that you still don't see much about the fandom. The red V certified big fan of the Shanzhi rice circle personally went into battle to surpass the younger sister, and the rumors of plastic surgery and cohabitation as a pornographic anchor are light, and people directly brush biyuntao and maiyin with the name of the transcendent sister, shouting beyond the sister "set sister". How jealous is this that you dare to think?

It can only be said that it is unwilling, and it is difficult to get rid of this kind of heartache even if you have 20 million zombie fans on Weibo. It's a pity that Sister Rumor is worthy of her reputation, every time she creates someone else's rumor, she can find a similar experience in her own idol, as accurate as a great prophecy, and become a living legend.

Thinking of this, Chu Yuanxi said: "Do you know that there is a picture on Weibo that was particularly open back then? A group of people dragged a boat on the beach, with fire written on it, and the appointment of others was written on the top of each person's head, but the boat was written beyond my sister. Thank you for dragging me and I'll pick you up when we get to sea. Study hard, half of our company can surpass half of my sister's emotional intelligence, and I am grateful. ”

In fact, it's not just someone else, Chu Yuanxi knows very well that he is just as inferior, far inferior. In terms of emotional intelligence, if you surpass your sister and do something like this, you will definitely make tens of millions. Her experience can basically be defined as hell-level, the so-called Qianfu refers to, died without illness, and others were scared to death by others who were scared to death by people using video rumors, but she didn't die, and those who survived must have stunts, and then quickly turned over in variety shows, and a strong sense of variety shows is like a fish in water.

It's a pity that it is impossible to surpass my sister and transfer at a reasonable price.

Chu Yuanxi left in a hurry to find Yang Jiangang.

Under his call, not only did the Ba people work overtime during the New Year, but several incubation companies hardly took a break during the New Year, and almost all of them were on duty. The average company would never dare to play like this, but this time there was a reason, and the Pakistani people paid overtime during the Chinese New Year, so the three companies were all in full swing to work overtime, although it later became a remote office, but the construction period did not lag behind, and it also rushed forward.

The peak visual effects are warmed up in the third year of junior high school, and the effect is actually average, because it was on the cusp at that time, and many people didn't have the energy to go about some promotional information, and they were directly classified as spam and filtered out. Therefore, although the peak visual effects are good at grasping the time, the effect is not as good as usual, and the cost performance is not as expected.

However, the series of live broadcasts that followed were very powerful!

Live broadcast ushered in a big explosion during this Spring Festival, not because of the explosion of Qiao Biluo's income, but as the live broadcast of online classes and so on was accepted by more people, the audience of live broadcast has expanded, the penetration rate has increased, and it has been accepted by more people. This is a journey of ascension, and it is imperceptible, and the benefits to this industry are not much better than those of fresh e-commerce, but there is no such obvious short-term effect.

Peak Visual Effects launched the platform talent program immediately after the promotion, which is the so-called cooperation with UGC creators.

The most direct part of this cooperation is that Yang Jiangang encourages UGC to do live broadcasts, and promote the video production process and mode of peak visual effects through live broadcasts, so as to instill the fun of this animation production mode in live broadcast users.

And his way of cooperation is not to send people to the UGC live broadcast room to brush up on gifts and roll calls, Lao Tie Plane will go one, which is definitely not good. The correct posture is to open more authority to the talent, and give more long-term benefits to the talent.

First of all, the art resources of peak visual effects are inevitably used by UGC, and companies have applied for soft works for the main characters in them, which is the legal basis, and in theory, UGC should display these animation videos on the platform of peak visual effects, unless they are officially pushed to a third party. Therefore, UGC creators can play with these animations in private, and they can also spread Douyin B station, but they can't go to other places to commercialize, and if they want to commercialize, they must first sign a contract.

This is a strategy that has been set from the beginning, and it has been stated in the user agreement from the first day of the launch of this platform, that the official provides resources, tools and platforms, and UGC provides wisdom and experience.

However, it is difficult for UGC to say whether they will incubate successful works and IPs worthy of commercialization. In particular, many people play according to "Talking Tom Cat" from the beginning, and whether they can be popular or not depends entirely on the person, the choice of IP image, the brain hole, and the sense of humor.

What if one of them is the IP that incubates the fire? It's not impossible, I think back then, the animation Internet celebrity Tang Tangshen vomited badly, it was just two or three animations, two or three magic expressions, and it became a phenomenon, so animation is just a carrier of wisdom, although the animation level of peak visual effects is rough, it is enough to carry the wisdom of the awesome.

You must know that the benefits here are enormous, and they are quite considerable for the top players. "Talking Tom" is still strong in 2019, with 370 million MAUs, of which "My Talking Tom 2" APP ranked seventh in global downloads in 2019, and tiktok is at the same level.

At this time, as a UGC, it is definitely impossible to be satisfied with being trapped in the small pond of peak visual effects, so I went around in circles and went back to how to sign a contract.

Here I have to talk about the mechanics of peak visual effects, there are many characters on it, and there are already thousands of characters that users can use at will, so it is easy for multiple makers to use the same art role. It's like two people using the image of Tom Cat to make animations at the same time, then once one person takes the lead in commercialization, they will inevitably monopolize the IP role, and the other person will inevitably be heartwarming.

This situation is a bit similar to the starting point, there are many supporting characters in the book called "Wang Qinian", and in the early years, there were many books with heroines called "Bingyun" and "White Agarwood". There may be two of them that have the value of film and television at the same time, and who comes first and who comes next becomes a bit subtle.

Therefore, the signing is also hierarchical, ordinary contract, VIP contract, exclusive contract, etc., only by signing a suitable contract, UGC can obtain reasonable benefits through its own efforts. At this time, UGC that cooperates with Pinnacle Visual Effects will have an advantage when signing a contract.

There is also the issue of the proportion of shares. It is one thing for Peak Visual Effects to be divided as a UGC content platform, and IP commercialization is another, the business models of the two are different, and the sharing methods and proportions are definitely different. To the extent of commercialization, many terms need to be negotiated on a case-by-case basis, and Yang Jiangang promised concessions to UGC when he opened the cooperation model.

So there are indeed some people who are willing to bet on this rough animation.

Moreover, Yang Jiangang also personally went into battle to open a live broadcast, showing his prosperous beauty. Chu Yuanxi never expected that he would be able to attract a group of game fat houses to watch the live broadcast, it seems that when he was planning, he didn't add a variety of player groups, Chu Yuanxi even saw Yang Jiangang sending red envelopes in some groups to attract traffic.

Therefore, after this round of promotion, a unique data has been formed, and the cost per user is high, but the proportion of conversion into UGC is unusually high. You must know that after the content of the platform increases, it should have been the decline in the proportion of UGC conversion, because the retention of ordinary users will increase, diluting the proportion of UGC.

This is a reluctantly ready time to start planning for the next round of funding.

As a result, when Chu Yuanxi went downstairs to look for peak visual effects, he found that Yang Jiangang was also giving a speech, and he was impassioned, if he hadn't been wearing a mask, it was estimated that he was spitting everywhere, at least from the perspective of the skill of speech, he had made significant progress.

Seeing that he couldn't be late for a while, Chu Yuanxi simply didn't wait, and made a note of one thing, and made an appointment with Yang Jiangang next time. Booking is not only more efficient, but also a courtesy to a president.

In fact, he came to Yang Jiangang for one thing, and it was okay not to say it in person, so he sent an email, which began: Jiangang and my brother are like meeting.

Anyway, the time node for you to do Series B financing is not far away, and I hope you can complete this round of financing alone.

The so-called "alone" means that I, the CFO, do not do anything, and you have full authority to find money, set prices, and confirm the framework and terms, of course, on the premise of not violating the terms of the first two rounds of investment. In fact, in the last round of financing, you have found some investors and institutions through your own channels, but in the end you did not participate due to factors such as valuation and terms.

That's a good thing. Of course, I will continue to endorse you, and your cash flow is okay during the two rounds of investment, and there is still a margin of funds from the last round of investment, which is a positive factor. As for whether the Baren Group participated in the Series B investment, I will judge based on commercial principles.

After the A round of investment, you have already gone through the general process, and the early investors who have obtained the right of first refusal need to be notified in time, and there should be no problem if you do it completely.

Finding money during this period is quite difficult as investors generally become cautious. In particular, even if the managers and GPs of the institution are willing to invest, they still need to consider the emotions of the LPs, so you need to show highlights and attractiveness.
