Chapter 446: Gao Fan
About an hour later, a man in his mid-forties and nearly fifty years old entered Mr. Zhang's office. After Zhang Ji's introduction, Chen Yongren learned that this person's name was Gao Fan.
After seeing Chen Yongren, Gao Fan hesitated a little, and immediately looked at Zhang Ji. Ask him who he wants to meet with him? However, after confirming that it was Chen Yongren who he wanted to meet, Gao Fan reacted, but his face was still full of shock.
As one of the hottest stars in China Entertainment at the moment, once upon a time, Gao Fan secretly sighed in his office that if he signed him, the situation would be different.
That's the difference between people, he's really good at operations, but not so bad. Also, if he could do everything, he wouldn't be here now.
Zhang Ji gave up the office to the two of them, and he himself went to talk to the students and told them some of Chen Yongren's requests so that they could prepare in advance.
"I watched your performance at the scene when I was a singer, and it was very good, but unfortunately the company couldn't sign you at that time. After sitting down, Gao Fan spoke directly.
"Actually, I didn't think about which company I would sign a contract with, but Kuyun was fate," Chen Yongren smiled slightly and said.
"You did a good job in Kuyun Music, and now you have the owner of Kuyun Group, for you, staying there is the best result, where you can get resources that will never be available elsewhere, why do you suddenly want to come out and start your own company?" Gao Fan asked.
Since Kuyun Group became the owner of Kuyun Music, the development of Kuyun Music can be said to be making great strides, and in just a few months, it has attracted a large number of star artists.
In addition to Chen Yongren's concert is more popular, other artists also held a concert in Beijing a few days ago, although it is not as good as Chen Yongren, but it also indicates that Kuyun Music is about to enter a blowout.
Choosing to leave at this time will make many people confused. Of course, if he hadn't seen Chen Yongren here with his own eyes, even Gao Fan, an insider, wouldn't know that Chen Yongren had already opened his own company.
Abandoning a base to continue to develop his career, and then building a bunker with no known future, Gao Fan was very curious, what did Chen Yongren think at the moment?
"Maybe it's fate, everyone has their own dreams, maybe my dreams make people seem a little unlikely.
But life is too short, if I continue to stay in Kuyun Music, maybe I will get a good development. But in order to realize your dreams, sometimes you have to make some choices, so I just said that signing with Kuyun is a fate, and now it's just fate. Chen Yongren continued.
"Yes, sometimes, you have to make some choices. Gao Fan seemed to understand Chen Yongren's heart, and couldn't help but sigh.
"Can you tell us about your plans for the company?" Gao Fan continued.
"Of course, the company will vigorously develop video websites at present, but the core is still music. Use music to raise videos, and when they reach a certain scale......" Chen Yongren chattered for a full hour, during which Gao Fan just kept nodding his head and never chose to interrupt Chen Yongren.
But it is true that as Chen Yongren said, Chen Yongren's idea can indeed scare people to death. A singer actually wants to cross over to make a TV series, and he also wants to complete the shooting of his first movie in a year or two.
As everyone knows, Gao Fan's company has been established for four years, and there are dozens of artists under it, and only twenty or thirty albums have been released so far, and the sales are still average. Of course, if it weren't for these albums, Gao Fan's company would have gone out of business long ago.
"Your plan does sound scary. But you're in the right direction, and with your current situation, there's a good chance you'll be able to make that dream come true.
But things are not as simple as you think, making TV series, making movies, not to mention the actors, what about the script? Without a good script, and there are no big-name stars to join, it is impossible to make achievements, and the risk of cross-border is very great. Gao Fan said.
He has no objection to raising videos with music, everyone is an insider, and he knows how much money Chen Yongren can earn from a concert. In other words, Chen Yongren can raise a video website for a year after opening a concert.
In the six years since the establishment of Lay's, the total investment is about 600 million, with an average annual investment of 100 million. But so far, according to reliable sources, Lay's profit so far has exceeded one billion.
The larger soybean network, a typical representative of the rise of the original ecological army, has invested 700 million yuan in three years, with an average annual investment of more than 200 million. But their profits have also exceeded 1.5 billion, and according to the current market situation, profits will continue to grow.
After all, the popularity of mobile phones has greatly squeezed out most of the TV ratings, and young people prefer to lie in bed and hold their mobile phones, order whatever they want, and they don't need to watch commercials or the like, and they want to watch pre-roll ads.
But these advertisements can be done with 30 yuan to buy a monthly membership, let alone 30 yuan for TV commercials, you can't let the TV station not broadcast those advertisements for 3 million.
is a little smaller, with an average annual investment of 20 or 30 million, which is a small operation, but it is not as good as the two giants in the video industry in terms of traffic.
Gao Fan believes that Chen Yongren will definitely raise a video website, but the problem is here. If a video website wants to stand out from the encirclement, it must have its own characteristics. It's like a literary website, you have to have a lot of good books to attract enough readers.
In Chen Yongren's description, Gao Fan knew that Chen Yongren wanted to write his own scripts and then make some self-made programs. But the problem is that Chen Yongren is good at writing songs, but not necessarily writing scripts.
Not every director can write a script, and not every screenwriter can be a director. How long can Chen Yongren raise videos with music?
Of course, there is still a possibility, that is, Chen Yongren is crazy to go to concerts and release albums. Then a lot of money poured into video sites to attract more scripts and create better self-produced programs.
But in this way, it will become the second soybean network, and the soybean network can rise with an investment of more than 200 million yuan a year, and it may not be possible for them to put it here. After all, miracles cannot be replicated, and what is needed is some chance.
All these ideas are based on the fact that Chen Yongren is an all-round talent, but Gao Fan has not seen Chen Yongren's talent in film and television, so he feels that either Chen Yongren is crazy, or he hasn't woken up.
"Mr. Gao, I know your worries, and I can't give you too many guarantees right now.
I've got some ideas about some of the shows, and now all that's left is to write down that idea. I don't know if it's popular, but whether it's popular or not, the video site won't withdraw its investment.
If you are able to join, I can assure you that as long as the direction of the company's operation is not wrong, then you have the final say. As the general manager, I am only responsible for singing, writing songs, writing scripts, filming, and bringing new people. Chen Yongren said sincerely.
"What if the video site has been losing money?" Gao Fan asked.
"It doesn't matter if it's a loss or a profit, I just need to see the traffic, and a website, as long as there is traffic, everything is not a problem, even if it is a loss, there will always be a day when it will be profitable. Chen Yongren replied affirmatively.
"I can join your company, but I have one condition. Gao Fan thought for a moment and said.
"As long as the conditions are right, I have no problem. Chen Yongren replied generously.
"I'm taking a stake in my company, and I'm going to have 20 percent of the shares. Gao Fan thought about it for a while, and finally reduced his stake to 20 percent.
Originally, he wanted to buy 30 percent of the shares, but considering Chen Yongren, a gold-absorbing machine, he would make a lot of money even if he was 20 percent.
In addition to the team of his current company, the artists are just like that. If there is a slightly more reliable artist, he will not be mixed like this.
Of course, connections belong to connections, after all, I have been working in Tianyu for so long, and I am also a director of operations, and I am familiar with many stars.
But there is no need for people to put their future into it for the sake of friendship with you, there is no famous star, Gao Fan's company has some equipment or something, and the valuation is about 10 million.
"It can't be. Chen Yongren refused Gao Fan's request without thinking about it.
Chen Yongren would rather not want his company, the things he has, even if he re-purchases and recruits people again, the cost of 20 million will be sky-high.
But if the 20 percent of the shares are given away, it may be 200 million in the future, or even 20 billion yuan.
"Fifteen!" Gao Fan lowered his requirements again, of course, this was decided based on the face of Chen Yongren, a gold-absorbing machine.
If it wasn't Chen Yongren standing opposite, but other stars, it is estimated that Gao Fan would have turned around and left. Gao Fan is also very vague about the future of Shuguang Entertainment, the reason why he wants to buy shares is because he likes Chen Yongren's ability to absorb gold, of course, the shares can continue to be reduced, but he must get the shares of Shuguang Entertainment.
Otherwise, unless Chen Yongren can give him an annual salary of three million, Gao Fan will definitely not join Shuguang Entertainment.
"Mr. Gao, it is impossible in terms of shares. With an annual salary of five million, your team can bring over some of your company's equipment, and I will buy it at the market price. If we can, we'll sign a contract with the company tomorrow. Chen Yongren also said his bottom line.
What will be the future market value of Shuguang Entertainment? Chen Yongren doesn't know, but it will definitely not be only a few hundred million. Therefore, Chen Yongren is killed and can't give him shares, even if it seems to be a loss now, he must not easily give people shares, although he does not have any desire to control, in the future, he can divide some dry shares that only have the right to dividends to some high-level and people who have contributed to the company, but the shares must definitely be in their own hands.
"Well, I agree. Gao Fan sighed deeply, Chen Yongren would rather have an annual salary of five million, and buy his company's equipment at the market price than give himself shares, which made Gao Fan a little helpless. However, the annual salary is five million, which is not bad, at least more than what he earns by opening a company now.
At the same time, I also have an intuition in my heart, I wonder if Shuguang Entertainment can really become a giant in the Chinese entertainment industry in the future. Take a look at the latest chapter of "The Legend of China Entertainment: Claw Book House" to read for free for the first time.
