Chapter 495: I Don't Kill Beren, But Beren Dies, Because of Me
Thursday night.
It rained heavily during the day, the temperature plummeted, and when Chen Minhao returned to the studio from Beiying, it was just dark.
As soon as he walked through the studio's door, he saw members of the studio following up on the follow-up to yesterday's concert ticket sales.
"You have to check this data again, and make sure that it is accurate. ”
"Someone contacted customer service and said: Alipay has deducted money, but the page shows that the payment is not successful. What are we going to do about it?"
"Wait for the Weibo copywriter to be confirmed three more times. ”
.........
Chen Minhao smiled and said hello to everyone, then walked quickly to his office.
He turned on his computer, then took out his iPad from his school bag, found a cult movie, and clicked play.
Today's assignment for "Research on the Body Language of Film Performance" is to complete the analysis of a cult movie.
Although the teacher said that it would be okay to send it to his email address before next Thursday, Chen Minhao did things early rather than late. But whatever must be done sooner or later, he will do it as soon as possible.
Chen Minhao watched the movie while recording his thoughts on the computer.
Suddenly there was a knock on the door.
Chen Minhao clicked pause, and then shouted, "Please come in." ”
Kang Hui wore a light gray suit and a pair of black pumps on her feet, but the lady's cosmetics could not cover the dark circles under her eyes and the fatigue on her face.
When Kang pushed the door in, he saw Chen Minhao sitting in the boss's chair, while the iPad screen stayed on a frame from the movie.
Kang Hui directly pulled out a chair and sat down: "We are busy outside, are you hiding in the office to watch a movie?"
Chen Minhao stood up, pressed the base of the monitor with his left hand, pushed the monitor up on the right, let the screen face Kang Hui, and said, "I'm writing an analysis of a movie, and this is today's homework." ”
Kang breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I'm really busy today. I'll synchronize the current data with you, the channel for buying my ordinary tickets through the lottery just now has also been closed, and the number of ordinary ticket applicants has exceeded 1.71 million. In other words, the winning rate of the lottery is now almost 1 in 50. ”
Chen Minhao nodded and said, "Okay, hard work." ”
"As for the fan tickets and welfare tickets, you should know, right? They were all snatched up within 3 minutes yesterday. Kang Hui tapped his fingers on the table and continued: "If you count the unpaid general ticket ticket revenue, then your pre-tax income from Kyoto Bird's Nest concert tickets is about 55 million. ”
Chen Minhao grinned: "So many?"
Kang Hui smiled and said: "You knew it in your heart before, in fact, we gave profits to fans, and it seems that we lost a lot of money." But because we don't have a ticket company as a middleman to make the difference, plus there are no free tickets, every seat in the concert can be sold for real money, so we have to make more money than ordinary singers. ”
"Then what do you say is the meaning of the existence of ticketing companies and scalpers?" Chen Minhao asked himself: "Is it to let fans spend more money and let singers make less money?"
"Hey, I guess you created this precedent, and other singers may be active in their thinking, and the ticket company's calendar is not good. Kang Hui took a sip of water and asked jokingly:
"But about 10 million of them is the income from the welfare ticket, which you promised to donate to the orphanage. What about 10 million?
Chen Minhao said seriously: "If you are poor, you will be good to yourself, and if you are good, you will help the world." I calculated that the cost of the concert and various taxes were about 16 million in total, and even if I donated the 10 million, I still have 30 million. And the concert is only 3 hours, and optimistically, this is equivalent to the income I donated for 1 hour. ”
Kang Hui nodded and asked, "What about the income of the welfare ticket, which is 10 million?
Chen Minhao recalled the memories of his previous life in the orphanage and said, "Let's set up a foundation to run this money, because I want to know where every penny of this 10 million yuan is spent." ”
Kang replied, "Then should we find someone with an experience in NEO (NGO)?"
Chen Minhao shook his head: "You and I are very busy, and we won't put a lot of energy into this foundation. So finding a new person to operate, I was a little uneasy. Otherwise, let Xiaoshuang take care of this. ”
Kang Hui hesitated: "Xiaoshuang is now in charge of fan operations is already a very heavy burden, and I'm worried that she won't be able to spare time and energy to run the foundation." ”
Chen Minhao said: "The basic work of fan operation can be done by others, Xiaoshuang is responsible for the checks." Sister Kang, what do you think?"
"Of course I don't have a problem. Kang Hui quipped: "But don't worry about others, you can rest assured of Xiaoshuang." ”
Chen Minhao smiled: "You don't know what Xiaoshuang's father is, it's not that she doesn't know, that's the real local tyrant." At the beginning, we didn't have a shadow studio, and he dared to invest tens of millions. So Xiaoshuang definitely can't look down on this 10 million, even if 100 million is placed in front of her, she won't be corrupt, I'm very relieved. ”
Kang Hui felt that Chen Minhao's analysis was very reasonable, and she couldn't find any reason to refute it.
After Kang Hui left the office, Chen Minhao rubbed his temples, and after unlocking the screen, he dragged the progress bar forward. The train of thought was interrupted. Now you need to flip back and watch the movie again.
Just when Chen Minhao was immersed in the plot of the movie, the knock on the door sounded again.
After Si Ruoyan entered the door, she asked directly: "Do we have any plans to undertake concerts of other singers in the future?"
Chen Minhao was stunned for a moment and asked, "Is there a singer who has contacted us now?"
Si Ruoyan nodded: "I'll show you a video." ”
She took out her mobile phone and found a video that she had collected in advance for Chen Minhao to see.
This is Yao Yiyi's interview video, Si Ruoyan slid the progress bar with her finger and dragged it back, the reporter asked Yao Yiyi: "What do you think of Chen Minhao's concert ticket sales model?"
Yao Yiyi first praised violently, and simply compared Chen Minhao's behavior to a groundbreaking move. In the end, he said that he planned to find Chen Minhao's company to undertake his next concert.
In the face of Yao Yiyi's praise, Chen Minhao's face did not change and his heart did not beat.
Si Ruoyan continued: "Yao Yiyi's agent came to me today and expressed the same meaning. In addition, there are also several singers' agents who ask, but the intention is not as strong as Yao Yiyi. ”
Si Ruoyan paused and whispered: "A few singers said that if you can write a song for them, they will definitely ask us to undertake the concert." ”
Chen Minhao asked, "What do you think about this?"
Si Ruoyan couldn't get Chen Minhao's idea, but she still said firmly: "Maybe this is an opportunity for us to change the concert industry." For this opportunity, you can give them some songs that you don't like. These singers said that as long as it's your song, they can do it, they don't pick it. ”
Chen Minhao thought for a while and said, "For now, all your energy is focused on my concert." After my concert is over, our company will also be able to undertake the concerts of some singers. ”
Si Ruoyan's joy was beyond words, and she said excitedly: "I will definitely work hard to make our company the largest concert undertaking company in China." ”
Chen Minhao said: "But one thing is very clear, and that is that I will not write songs for them for this reason. I can't trade my songs for other singers to work with us. ”
"And I think you're too optimistic. Chen Minhao glanced at her coldly and continued: "The concert industry didn't cooperate with me at the beginning, so I had to change the concert industry. But the industry doesn't have to be a model to be the ultimate winner. ”
After Chen Minhao stood up, he said earnestly: "A business model without capital and technical barriers is the best imitation in the business world. What we do is not technically or difficult, as long as the current concert industry companies recognize that this is the trend of the times, they will definitely make changes in order to survive. ”
The smile on Si Ruoyan's face gradually faded.
Chen Minhao continued to strike: "When everyone's business model is the same, it becomes the time to fight for operational capabilities and connections, do you still think we can become the largest concert undertaking company in Huaxia?"
Si Ruoyan didn't bow her head or speak, what Chen Minhao said hurt her heart.
But unfortunately, what Chen Minhao said is still the truth.
Si Ruoyan finally left Chen Minhao's office silently. When she passed by the coffee shop in front of Chen Minhao's school on her way home, she suddenly thought: When Chen Minhao and I met in the coffee shop before, he didn't tell me like this!
Chen Minhao stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window of his office, looking down at the night view of Kyoto's West Third Ring Road.
He knew that what he said just now was a bit cruel to Si Ruoyan, but he said it on purpose.
Si Ruoyan has worked hard in society for many years, although she admires herself now, she is very ambitious, and she must beat her to prevent her from devouring the Lord in the future.
Before, he Chen Minhao said to Si Ruoyan: "You have experience, I have resources." He did not forget this sentence. He just hoped that Si Ruoyan would understand that his resources were worth more than her experience. And his resource is definitely not to write songs for other singers.
Chen Minhao looked up at the moon in the sky, and he felt that today's moon was particularly beautiful.
He had no heart to admire the moon, sighed, and thought:
"After the business model of the concert industry changes in the future, scalpers in the concert industry should be much more difficult than now.
My original intention was just that I couldn't see the current concert model, and the scalpers could only be regarded as harming the pond fish. I don't kill Beren, but Beren dies because of me!"
After a second of silence for scalpers, Chen Minhao returned to the computer to continue his homework on "Research on the Body Language of Film Performance".
