Chapter 643 Farewell Tour
Drive to this small leafy building. It's been a few years, and nothing seems to have changed here. Although it has been upgraded to the headquarters of Seed Media, there has been no increase in personnel, and even the small building is still being rented.
The current seed media has also been upgraded to a Big Mac. Seed Pictures, Seed (Hong Kong) Films, and Seed Music, the rapidly expanding Seed Cinema Line, has 374 theaters and 1,720 screens in North America, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Singapore, Malaysia and other places, and is still negotiating with local cinemas in Japan and Southeast Asian countries. Although the current business is only limited to Hong Kong and Chinese mainland, Manager Mei Xingsheng has expanded about 30% of the advertising company, except for the "self-produced and self-sold" part of the CCTV standard king advertisement. And finally...... Seed Advertising Equipment Factory.
This seed advertising equipment factory is more interesting. It was born out of the packaging factory in Hujiang, which was for the production of the "three-sided billboard" invented by Jing Jian, and later simply set up a separate advertising equipment factory. In just one year last year, the three-sided billboard was in short supply, and the orders it received were as high as more than $30 million. And it is basically exported to Europe and the United States, and has become a local star enterprise in Hujiang.
Because the factory is so closely connected with the advertising industry, Jing Jian simply assigned it to the seed advertising agency. The effect is not bad, combined with the needs of advertising companies, they have successively developed more than a dozen domestic blank, international cabbage price advertising equipment, including various models of electronic scrolling screens. Although there is almost no market for electronic scrolling screens in China, as long as we wait until the end of the year, the two major stock exchanges of Shanghai River and Nanwan are established, we can imagine how hot the scene will be.
However, the major branches of Seed Media are thriving, but they seem to be quite fragmented and not concentrated in the headquarters. And Jing Jian's daily life in Los Angeles began here......
......
Jing Jian walked into the small building, and all the things of the past were still vaguely in front of him. This small company, which was acquired at that time for $800,000 in retaliation against Jiang Zhijiao, unknowingly developed into a "muscular man" with an annual output value of $1.13 billion and a gross profit of $161 million last year.
smiled and sighed to Kent who was accompanying him: "Kent, it doesn't seem to have changed!"
"Haha, it really hasn't changed. "Seed Media does not have a full-time CEO, so Ding Sheng and Jing Jian's big butler Kent often come over to take turns to manage and handle some daily affairs.
However, after not walking a few steps, Jing Jian unexpectedly met an acquaintance: "Teacher Cheng?" was quite unexpected, he didn't expect to meet Cheng Qinglun by chance. This Cheng Qinglun is considered a success, and his whole family has become an American citizen. Jing Jian didn't want to comment on everyone's choices, but during the entrepreneurial period, Cheng Qinglun did play a very important role in the development of seed music.
"Yo, Mr. Jing!" Cheng Qinglun shook hands with Jing Jian very affectionately, "Are you also here to discuss the concert tour? I have just promised Billy to design a set of Chinese classical style passages for the tour......"
Jing Jian was confused, and after asking, he learned that after the release of "Parkour Youth 3", the films of this series would come to an end. And Billy wants to strike while the iron is hot, officially announce the disbandment of the Elf Bird group, and go on a farewell concert tour around the world.
......
After saying goodbye to Cheng Qinglun, Jing Jian met Billy in the rehearsal hall. Ten members of Elf Bird are here, including those who have already jumped ship to other record labels. After the remaining members saw Jing Jian, they were quite enthusiastic: "Boss, boss ......" Through "Parkour Youth", Jing Jian has built a good platform for them, whether they are in the music industry or the film industry in the future, with their existing fame, they can at least be well-off.
And the few who jumped ship were somewhat embarrassed: "Sir, Mr. ......" They basically didn't get out of the way, and two of them have quit the entertainment industry. If it weren't for the lucrative pay for this tour, they probably wouldn't have returned to this sad place.
Only Lumina is still heartless: "Black-hearted boss, how can I see you when I make money, and why can't I find you when I ask for money?"
In the midst of chuckles, Jing Jian gently gave Lumina a hand knife: "Everyone, I will personally sponsor 2 million as a bonus for this concert and distribute it to every participant." Notes: Except for Lumina. ”
After this time, except for Lumina, the other members of the Elven Bird will fly solo from the seed music. In fact, even Lumina, who has set up her own studio and has in fact become a partner in Seed Music. Jing Jian is not a stingy person. Since they have made a lot of money for themselves, they mean it when they break up!
Jing Jian's words caused a burst of cheers, but there was a miserable scream mixed in it: "Black-hearted ghost, you are bullying me again!"
Lumina's posturing provoked another burst of laughter. Jing Jian scolded with a smile: "You have earned so much, do you still care a little?"
"Don't, don't, you still give Mai Ting a villa. ”
"Okay, if you win, I'll take you to the Lego counter later. ”
"Eccentric ——!"
......
After the laughter, Jing Jian and Kent arrive at Billy's office. Not seen for a long time, Billy seems to have a lot to say. But after hesitating for a while, Billy asked, "Bramble, how are you going to arrange seed music in the future?"
Jing Jian already knew that Billy had more or less opinions. For Seed Pictures, Jing Jian has continued to invest and invest, not only investing in the shooting of new films, but also spending huge sums of money to acquire theaters. And for seed music, I don't care about anything except get infrared every year, but I don't invest much. This made Billy somewhat dissatisfied.
Jing Jian found that some things still need to be explained clearly: "Billy, I don't know if you have noticed, the Internet era has arrived, pop music distribution will also enter the era of fragmentation and sharing, and the model of big record companies is likely to come to an end." So it's not that I don't care about seed music, but I want to find a better opportunity. ”
"What?" said Billy, completely shocked, "you mean pop is going to be wintering?"
"No, no. Jing Jian explained, "Pop music will never go out of style, and pop singers can also survive well. But they can directly meet music fans through the Internet and music websites, and the distribution cost will be greatly reduced. There is no doubt that there is no need for a record label as a bridge. ”
