013 Invitations from entertainment companies
Three o'clock in the afternoon, Jiangzhou Limin Square.
Because there have been a lot of things in the company recently, Shi Huakang didn't have time to have lunch. In the afternoon, I squinted on the office chair for a while, got up and went to the Lao Wang bun shop downstairs.
Five beef buns, one serving of fresh-cut beef, and a bowl of chicken grits soup.
Flattered.
This is Shi Huakang's favorite lunch pairing.
From the outside, it may be a bit plain.
He is the CEO of the company, and he employs dozens of people. Relying on the hard work in his early years, he bought a family business in Jiangzhou early, a house, a car, a wife and children, and four of his five sons.
Even the ticket is a lot better than the average person.
But unfortunately, every family has a scripture that is difficult to read.
When you don't have a house, you want to have a house, and if you have a house, you want to pursue a large flat, and the car should be replaced with a new one after driving for a few years, otherwise you will be teased by the king and them when you have a meal......
As for children, the cost of attending a private international school is not low......
Originally, this was nothing, the company's business was developing normally, and money was not too much of a problem.
But in the past two years, catching up with the rise of the Internet, IT companies have sprung up like mushrooms all over the world.
Not to mention the great competition in the industry, users' minds have been robbed by the Internet, and the media advertising company run by his old stone has been greatly impacted.
Elevator advertising, bus advertising, building advertising......
In the past, this was the advertising channel that local customers relied on, and there was no shortage of customers.
But in the past year, the turnover of the company's related businesses has plummeted.
Lao Shi, who is not confused, is really a little confused.
I tried several directions one after another, what Internet part-time platform, what local information website, and even spent money to make a page game, and finally lost a mess.
Half a year ago, I had a few drinks with a few big customers and friends, during which we chatted: the advertising industry has not changed for thousands of years, and the recent impact of the Internet has given birth to several new ways to play.
What was originally an unappreciated exhibition event has now become a hot topic. Everybody wants to try it out.
Taking this as a starting point, Lao Shi established Pineapple Entertainment Media Company.
Unexpectedly, this step turned out to be the right outlet.
Driven by the CAPO platform and major music, film and television companies, the entertainment industry has developed quite rapidly, and even the concept of signing artists with trainees is also popularizing among the public.
Lao Shi originally wanted to find a few young girls and boys with outstanding looks to do business performances at the exhibition.
When I recruited someone, I took a look, and it turned out that as long as I installed the name of a girl group, the appearance fee would be several times higher in an instant.
So what are you waiting for?
Lao Shi hurriedly greeted his subordinates, turned into a girl, and packaged the girls under Pineapple Entertainment into an idol girl group - Jackfruit.
The fathers of the gold owners and the organizers of the exhibition still eat this set.
It doesn't matter how many fans you have, as long as you are good-looking and have a good body, the atmosphere will be very warm.
Soon, the operating income of the jackfruit combination became an important source of income for Shi Huakang. Last month, to celebrate the team's six-year history, the team also went on vacation to the island of Hawaii.
Encouraged by this, Shi Huakang quickly formed a men's group - Happy Youth League.
I wanted to quickly replicate the success of jackfruit, but the market reaction was cold.
For two months in a row, there were only a few invitations to perform, and compared to the continuous invitations from jackfruit, the Happy Youth League was not happy at all.
What's going on?
arranged for his subordinates to dutifully make a research report, and Lao Shi understood.
In just half a year, there are not a few entertainment companies like him who have tasted the sweetness, and traditional large institutions in the industry, such as Kugua Entertainment, Happy Communication and other giants, have also accelerated their pace of conquering the city.
The artists they choose are either proficient in blowing, playing and singing, or their dancing skills are amazing, and after the company's professional training and publicity, the strength of the group is far from being comparable to their own Happy Youth League.
What to do?
Shi Huakang finished eating the bun in his hand, picked up a wet towel and wiped his mouth.
It costs a lot of money to raise a men's team, so is the next step is to continue to invest and sign some players with more outstanding strength to make up for the shortcomings, or simply give up the men's team market?
The boy group market is the highlight of idol groups.
But if the investment fails, you will lose a lot.
"Doodoo ......"
Shi Huakang was still thinking about it, and the phone rang in his pocket.
The caller was the manager of the film and television department of Pineapple Entertainment, Chen Xiangyang.
Shi Huakang picked up the phone: "Hey, Lao Chen, what's the matter?"
"Mr. Shi, good news!"
On the other end of the phone, Chen Xiangyang said with high interest.
"We've got the baby!"
Lao Chen has followed him to start a business for many years, and his ability and character are very good, and he is one of his henchmen. Seeing that he was so excited, Shi Huakang was also aroused.
He pretended to scold and joked, "What's the matter, you won the lottery jackpot? I'm eating. ”
Chen Xiangyang was not angry, and laughed: "Mr. Shi, although he didn't win the lottery jackpot, as long as he grasps it well, our pineapple entertainment may be able to earn him millions of dollars." ”
"Really?"
Shi Huakang was a little suspicious, hundreds of millions were not a small amount for him.
"Lao Chen, what kind of treasure did we pick up?"
"Mr. Shi, it's a long story, I'll tell you when you come to the office. ”
"Okay, I'll be there right now. ”
……
Hanging up the phone, Shi Huakang was still in the mood to continue eating, quickly wiped his mouth clean, and walked to the office.
As soon as he pushed the door open, Lao Chen was already waiting for him in the office with a computer.
Seeing Shi Huakang coming in, Lao Chen turned on the mobile phone screen and clicked on Alpine FM. In the list of new popular anchors, the name of Peaches was flipped.
Peaches has struck while the iron is hot and updated the content of the second issue, but Lao Chen opened the first issue of "In the World: Looking for Skate Shoes", and then the progress bar was directly dragged to the song part.
Listening to the melody on the radio, Shi Huakang was a little confused: "I said Lao Chen, what is this song?"
Chen Xiangyang smiled slightly: "Mr. Shi, this song has become famous in the Alps in the past two days, called "My Skateboarding Shoes", and the person who created this song is called Guo Qi. ”
"Guo Qi?"
Shi Huakang smacked the name: "It seems to be a little familiar......
"Yes, this Guo Qi once submitted his resume, and you also interviewed him. Chen Xiangyang reminded beside him.
"Oh oh, I remember,"
Shi Huakang patted his head: "That's the case, the young man is very good, and he looks energetic." It's just that I don't like his name badly, what is the name of the mixed entertainment industry......"
said that he took Chen Xiangyang's mobile phone, carefully looked at Peaches's program data, and then clicked on CAPO and searched for the song "My Skateboarding Shoes".
Looking at the data on the page, Shi Huakang was slightly surprised.
"Yo, this Guo Qi has been on fire for the past two days, and the data is better than our entire men's group combined. ”
"Yes, Mr. Shi," Lao Chen took over.
"Fortunately, we asked him to go back and wait for news last month, and we didn't send him a rejection letter in time. I read his Weibo and CAPO, the young man is better than we imagined, as long as the packaging is packaged, there is a chance to make a small fire. ”
"That's okay, Lao Chen personally contacted Xiao Guo and signed the contract as soon as possible. ”
With such an opportunity, Shi Huakang's matter that he had been entangled for a few days was finally concluded, and he decided to gamble again and continue to chase to see if the men's group could make a splash.
……
With Guo Qi emerging on the Internet.
Pineapple Entertainment is not the only entertainment company with the intention of soliciting.
Although for medium and large companies such as Kugua, Guo Qi's fan data is not worth paying attention to, after all, many amateurs have a lot of fans before applying for a contract.
But for small and medium-sized companies, Guo Qi's data performance is still worth wooing.
New Frontier Media, which once rejected Guo Qi, is among them.
A string of unfamiliar numbers came in, Guo Qi answered the phone, and a gentle female voice came from inside.
"Mr. Guo, hello, I am Wang Yiqun, the assistant of the film and television department of New Frontier Media, who contacted you some time ago. ”
"Do you still want to sign with our company?"
