Chapter 445: The Black Hand of the Higher-Rise
Dudu Pictures currently has four major business segments, among which online video and online music have the greatest influence, even compared with their peers, they are also outstanding, but despite this, their profitability is average and they can survive in the face.
As for Dudu Film and Television, although three dramas have been produced so far, and another movie will be released soon, it is only at the level of drama popularity, losing money and making money. As for the management of Dudu Entertainment artists, the three self-made dramas have indeed made a group of newcomers popular, but if these newcomers want to become big names who can be independent, it will not be possible to achieve it in the short term.
Among the singers, the only ones who are remarkable are the Seven Heroes of the Warring States. Several new artists' albums are still in the pipeline. Although the single written by Bai Yi for them is already in full swing, and Liao Mingfan is also full of confidence in it, but there is no result for a day, and these cannot be calculated.
Liao Mingfan, as the head of Dudu Pictures, seems to outsiders to be in the limelight for a while. The results of Doodoo Video and Doodoo Music are there. But there are many things that only the person concerned knows best. Advertising revenue is the main profit point of online video, but the advertisements received by Dudu Video are all petty.
A company without profit is like a bird with its wings clipped, the higher it flies, the worse it falls. Every time he thinks of this, Liao Mingfan's heart is full of bitter water. He is also very puzzled, with the current fame of Dudu Pictures, it stands to reason that advertising should not be in the current situation.
At the beginning of the establishment of Dudu Pictures, Liao Mingfan had an in-depth discussion with Bai Yi about the future development. The Internet is an emerging industry, and after the previous bubble, people are becoming more and more rational about it. There's gold to be found, but the risks associated with it are enough to wipe anyone out.
The logic of 'traffic equals profit', Liao Mingfan felt a little absurd at first glance, but after thinking about it carefully, the truth and wisdom in it not only made people stunned. This is also the real reason why he is willing to fight with Bai Yi. Although Bai Yi is young, he seems to have great wisdom.
Now Dudu Pictures has initially had 'traffic', but there is still a big gap between the profit and what he imagined. This made him feel that he had taken such a big risk before, but he did not get the results he deserved, and this gap gave birth to a little anxiety and worry in his heart.
It is very unwise to put all your eggs in the same basket. Liao Mingfan is more than half a hundred years old, and his experience and experience are very comparable, which is why Bai Yi was so optimistic about him in the first place. Liao Mingfan has his own set of business strategies. Even if he believes in Bai Yi, he will still do what he thinks.
Business is a relationship between people, and common interests can make two strangers from all over the world become intimate. And if you want to keep growing, it is not enough to rely on your own strength.
Liao Mingfan pays great attention to the selection of partners. Qiyang Culture is the best of the list he selected. The facts have also proved that the promotional film that Qiyang Culture shot for their Dudu Video before was put on the market, and the effect was surprisingly good. That heroine impressed him very much.
"Mr. Liao, I'm Deng Pin, congratulations. I watched the promo video last time and it worked very well. Now Dudu video is very famous. "After eating a closed door at Zhou Ying'er's place, Gao Quan has used all the soft and hard, but it is useless. At the company's morning meeting, the attention of the big boss made him dare not have a trace of slackness. He reported the news to Deng Pin as soon as possible, although he knew that this would make the boss disappointed in him, but it was better to be disappointed than hopeless. Deng Pin grabbed the phone with a smile on his face, and looked at Gao Quan, who was sitting opposite and looked a little uneasy, with slightly cold eyes.
"Mr. Deng, I should want to thank you. You've done me a great favor, so don't hesitate to speak up in the future. In this way, you can set a time for me to be the east, please have a drink. Deng Pin's call surprised him. He is the second-in-command of Qiyang culture and has a lot of power. The two had only met once when they signed their intention to cooperate. He had a faint feeling that Deng Pin's phone call might not be so simple.
"Hehe, you're kind to Mr. Liao. Everyone is a friend, and if a friend's business is good, our business can be good. Mr. Liao, I really have something to trouble you today. Deng Pin restrained his smile, and his tone became a little serious. Friends in the shopping mall rely on the connection of interests, if the interests of one party are damaged, it is debatable whether the 'friends' can do it.
"Oh, Mr. Deng, please speak. Liao Mingfan's brain immediately entered a state of high-speed operation. He had a feeling that Deng Pin's 'trouble' might not be easy to deal with.
"Mr. Liao, then I'll get straight to the point. Have you been working on a movie lately? The hero and heroine have been decided, and the movie has already started filming?"
"Mr. Deng is really well-informed. This matter is still only circulating within the company, and has not yet been officially announced. Liao Mingfan was a little surprised, but the doubts in his heart quickly dissipated. He didn't deliberately hide it, and he didn't intend to do so. It is also normal for Deng Pin to get the news.
"That's right. Mr. Liao, I can only trouble you about this matter. Can you change the heroine?"
"Change the heroine! Mr. Deng, this-Mr. Deng has something I want to explain, I won't tell you that the movie that the company is planning to make, but it is going to be released in the Chinese New Year. This has a great impact on the future development of our Dudu Pictures. Although I am the leader of the company, I can only do business when it comes to the interests of the company. Can I ask, why is that? To tell you the truth, I still don't know what this heroine is called. ”
Deng Pin's request surprised him very much, and immediately made him realize a hint of crisis. In the last sentence, although Liao Mingfan was self-deprecating, the implication was to tell Deng Pin that I refused.
"Mr. Liao, I know it's a bit abrupt to say this, but I really have no choice but to find you in this matter. Everyone knows each other so well, and I won't hide it from you. In fact, the heroine you chose is still an artist in our company, and I should applaud and welcome you to be the heroine, but not only can you not use this artist, but our company will also plan to ban her for a long time. This is all due to the negligence of the people below, and it is only now that I have discovered that this female artist has a bad record. For such artists, in the spirit of being responsible for others and themselves, I will never allow them to have a trace of luck to succeed. Deng Pin's righteous words seemed to be how sinful the female artists he mentioned were.
