188. Here comes a café
Craft Cafe?"
Sister Deng followed him to a small building.
The two-storey antique building, with its off-white walls and red glazed tiles, is basically the same as the design of the Raptors Bar.
It's just that this row of buildings faces Luliu Park, backed by Shichahai, a little farther away from Anping Street, and the environment is more elegant and quiet.
There is a plaque hanging horizontally at the door of the small building, a craft café.
Sister Deng was a little puzzled, "Gu Meng, aren't we going to the office, how did you come here?"
Gu Meng laughed, pulled her up the steps, and said as she walked, "Sister, this is the office, there are not many crafts in the mainland now, there is no need for such a big place, I had an idea, and changed the first floor into a café, and the second floor as an office, I will take you in to have a look, you will definitely like here." ”
Gu Meng took out a bunch of keys and opened the door of the café.
Last year, Gu Meng wanted to buy a house, relying on Chen Wei's relationship, it was settled in a few days, and he spent a sum of money to buy furniture, decoration, and equipment, and after two or three months of transformation, everything was ready.
Entering the door, there is a small cubicle of more than ten square meters, a three-meter-long marble bar, white coffee cups, silver coffee pots, and an art bookshelf on the opposite wall, on which more than 100 books, newspapers and magazines are placed.
In the bookshelf, there is a diamond-shaped craft door.
Inside is the café, a space of more than 100 square meters, yellow and white square floor tiles, white walls and ceilings, beige cloth sofas, and white marble coffee tables.
There are also more than 20 white picture frames hanging on the north and south walls, the small one foot in size and the large one meter in size, all of which are oil paintings.
Fashionable and elegant, simple and luxurious, quite petty bourgeoisie.
On the side near Shichahai, one wall is covered with floor-to-ceiling glass windows, and outside the window there are Shichahai, gravel paths on the shore, a few green willows, and white railings... In the evening, the glow of Shichahai is reflected on the floor-to-ceiling windows, which is a little dreamy.
Sister Deng looked around, touching the sofa, marble table, and bar little by little, and finally stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window with her arms crossed, quietly in a daze.
"Sister, do you like it here?"
Gu Meng hugged her from behind and asked softly in her ear.
"Yes, very much!"
She really likes it, Gu Meng can touch her heartbeat, pounding, and her cheeks are slightly red.
"Sister, if you like it, you will be the hostess here in the future. ”
"Me?"
Sister Deng shook her head, "I can't, I've never drunk coffee, how can I manage a café?"
"It's okay sister, it's mainly for acquaintances, artists, employees, and business friends under the craftsman, you can drink tea and coffee, the theme is leisure and entertainment chatting, it doesn't matter if you make money or not. ”
"How can it not matter?"
Sister Deng patted the back of his hand gently, "Such a good place, if it is done well, it will definitely become a literati place, I want to do it well." ”
"That's fine, there's 5,000 dollars in the drawer, hire people, buy furniture, buy crafts, you name it. ”
Gu Meng grinded two cups of black coffee, Arabica coffee beans imported from Vietnam, three dollars a catty, super expensive, but the taste is very good, after grinding, bitter with a strong milky fragrance.
The two talked about work over coffee.
Gu Meng gave a detailed introduction to the current craftsmanship.
The business of the craftsman company includes three aspects, film, music, and agency companies.
There are not many signed artists under Craft, Raptors, Wang Xiaofei, Gong Li, as for Hu Mei, Lao Cui, Pu Cunxin, Feng Yuanzheng, they all have formal units, and they are still mainly based on unit work, and they are considered a partnership with Craftsman.
"Can I join?"
In 84, Sister Deng resigned from the Xichuan Theater and came to Hanjing alone to work hard, and now she is considered free.
Gu Meng nodded, "Sister, I ask you to manage the café, there is another meaning, I hope you can take care of the affairs of artists, in the future, I plan to sign more artists in the mainland, and now I need to slowly build up a team of agents." ”
He thought to himself, if Sister Deng changes careers to become an agent, she will replace Wang Jinhua as the first generation of cultural agents in the mainland in the future, right?
"Now the company's main artists are Gong Li and Xiaofei, I would like to ask you to contact them more to learn about her life and emotional situation, and if you have any difficulties, our company will try our best to help. ”
Sister Deng chuckled, turned the coffee cup in her hand, and asked with a smile, "You won't be interesting to both girls, will you?"
"Hah"
Gu Meng raised his eyebrows and said with a wry smile: "Sister, how can you accuse people of innocence by vain? I am just simply optimistic about their future and want to cultivate them, without any other ghost thoughts." ”
"Okay, okay, if I'm wrong?"
Sister Deng took a sip of coffee, her eyebrows frowned slightly, with a charming aroma in the bitterness, just like her current life, she still swallowed it, it tasted very good.
"Xiao Xu doesn't have a formal unit, why don't you invite her to join the craftsman?"
"Yes!"
Gu Meng said with a smile: "Sister, whoever you like can be invited to join, our brokerage department is modeled after the model of Xiangjiang Entertainment Company.
But it is relatively relaxed, the old artist can be divided into 3728, 19 is no problem, in addition, when the company develops in the future, the brokerage department can be independent, and the backbone artists can hold shares and become shareholders of the company. ”
"That's not bad, it's a good way to gather a group of people. ”
Sister Deng nodded, "You go on!"
"Speaking of artists, let's talk about investment. ”
"Red Sorghum" invested 200,000 yuan and sold its overseas distribution rights, this time in the name of a craftsman company.
"The Child King", Chen Kaige's new work, this movie has little impact, the company spent 100,000 yuan to buy its overseas distribution rights, mainly to make friends with Director Chen, for the big size of "Farewell My Concubine".
"Gunless Gunner", director Hu Mei's new work, produced by Yi Studios, war film, lack of funds, Gu Meng is not very optimistic, and still invested 80,000 yuan, which can be regarded as friendly support.
There is also "Journey to the West", during the rehearsal of the Spring Festival Gala, Gu Meng and Director Yang carefully discussed once.
The price code given by Director Yang is that if you want to hang the title with CCTV and the Ministry of Railways, at least 500,000 yuan, and the rebroadcast will definitely not be cut in the future, and the price of the acknowledgement column is 100,000 yuan, which can be placed in the first row.
The last time Craftsman released the album "Friends", he made a lot of money, and he had about $100,000 on his books.
He proposed to Chen Wei and Sakata to sponsor the Journey to the West crew, Chen Wei didn't care about the money, it was up to him, Sakata abstained, and passed the proposal two to one.
When Journey to the West is broadcast again in the future, the producer will hang the name of Craftsman Entertainment Company.
His purpose is very simple, one is to buy a name, the other is to pave the way, and build a good relationship with the CCTV TV Department, what the effect is, wait and see the after-effects.
In addition to film and television work, there is also music.
Last year, Craftsman only released an album "Friends", which can be regarded as testing the waters.
This year, at least two are planned, one for the Raptors and one for Wang Xiaofei.
Wang Xiaofei released an album the year before last, covering Deng Li's songs, and the effect was average.
This time, Gu Meng personally handled it and was responsible for her lyrics and songs.
"Oh, by the way, sister, when you are recruiting, please recruit one or two accountants, I am not good at math, and I have too much money, so I want to find someone to help you count. ”
"Haha, Sassy Bag!"
handed over the office to Sister Deng, Gu Meng was much more relaxed.
It's time to start school, and he received Wang Ya's ocean parcel, which is a photo, a beautiful campus, Wang Ya's new friends, one of the blonde girls is very familiar... Under his sponsorship, Wang Ya is doing well.
He tried to submit an application to the school, and he wanted to go to Milican to see the customs of the Chinese people.
Before half a day came, President Sun, Director Zhuang, and Dean Aoyama took turns to talk to him.
Stay, don't jump around.
Don't think about going abroad until at least the '88 Olympics.
Gu Meng could only go to class, train, shoot radio gymnastics promotional videos, and occasionally participate in several commercial performances with Chen Wei and Dou Wei to earn some extra money.
Chen Wei, Lao Cui, and Gao Qi discussed holding a 'Green Willow Rock Festival' in Green Willow Park.
He didn't have time to worry about it, the "Paradise Lost" movie was divided, and he had to think about how to spend it.
There's too much money, and sometimes it's annoying.
