Chapter 111: S1 Spokesperson Finalized, Zhou Xun!(1st Update)
If you want to say that you can suddenly become popular in 2005, Xia Yu can definitely count the singers you can think of.
Zhang Dongliang!
This new singer in Singapore is not a powerful person, nor does he have any overwhelming packaging, but with the song "Who Will You Think of When You Are Lonely", he became popular throughout the Southeast Asian discourse music scene, and even won the title of "Chinese KTV Little King".
But this is actually an old song that came out in 1993, but it has been little known until Zhang Dongliang rearranged the cover and sang it.
Zhang Dongliang's cover came out in 2004, but it has not yet entered the mainland market, and it is currently a small fire in Singapore, so it should not be too late to make a move.
"It's another singer I haven't heard of, or Singapore!" Meng Jing looked at Xia Yu with some confusion, "How did Mr. Xia find out?"
Xia Yu scratched his head, thinking that it would be better to mention it less in the future, anyway, everything he could think of was almost said, and he hurriedly said: "I said two beautiful bosses, don't call me Mr. Xia, we are so young that we are said to be old! As for this song, it has actually become popular in Singapore, and I have a classmate who recommended it over there!"
Zhang Ru laughed: "Okay, then call you a handsome guy?"
Khan, when have we ever sold cute! He hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Just call me Xia Yu!"
He was busy changing the topic again, "By the way, Mr. Meng, after signing Pang Long's sharing agreement, I would like to trouble you to go to Singapore as much as possible! I heard that this Zhang Dongliang also has a plan to enter the mainland market, and he may have signed a company, so he must act quickly!"
Meng Jing nodded simply and said, "Okay, I'll try to set off tomorrow." Anyway, if he had already signed with the company. Let's learn from Pang Long, and throw a lot of money down! Don't call us Mr. Meng, come and shout Sister Jing to listen!"
After speaking, he couldn't help but cover his mouth and laugh first.
Get. Anyway, I don't suffer a loss, even if I was a little younger than her before I was reborn, just shout.
It has been less than a month since the establishment of Rumeng Company, and the other employees of the company are almost equipped, and they have rented a small office in Xinghui Building to officially operate.
But in addition to these and the expenditure of buying copyrights, the profit in a short period of time still reached more than 3 million, and the next Panglong electronic copyright is still a cash cow!
The investment was properly recovered, and no one dared to believe it when it was said so quickly!
The three agreed to pay a dividend before the Spring Festival, and Xia Yu could also add a little more investment in Bluestar Venture Capital.
"That's right. Now that the CRBT market is so big and the prospects are good, should we also set up an operating company?" Meng Jing had a lot of hopes for Rumeng Music, but gambling on copyright alone was not a long-term solution, so she calmed down and began to think about the way out in the future.
Zhang Ru didn't know much about this business, and Xingru's advertising was running quite smoothly, so he didn't send his main thoughts to this side, and said with a smile: "You two discuss, I don't understand anything!"
Xia Yu really didn't have time to think about this question. After thinking about it for a while, he said: "The SP market is a bit too chaotic, and the channels are very fragmented, and the energy and costs involved in direct operation are very troublesome, so let's do a good job of content supply." ”
"But you can't rely on these songs alone!"
"So I'm going to ask you to use your professional vision to choose more! You can work online singers, and you can also recruit some professionals to try the making of funny ringtones. I also have a few directions in this regard......" Xia Yu said with a smile.
At present, the CRBT market has just opened, and many businesses are in the testing stage.
But in addition to the download of popular music. Various spoofs and witty styles of RBTs also have great commercial value.
It was impossible to expect Xia Yu to remember these various things, and he hadn't worked this before he was reborn. But even occasionally hear some friends on their phones. I can probably have a vague impression of what type can be popular or can summarize a little.
When the time comes, mentioning some should also be effective.
"Okay. I'll let this side organize recruitment first!" Meng Jing's eyes lit up, and she also realized that this direction was good, and immediately agreed.
……
Solving the problem of the next development direction of Rumeng Music, Xia Yu felt a lot more relaxed.
This can be regarded as an unintentional investment caused by the "Cold" advertising song, but it can also make some money if it is operated well. Even if it transforms into a real music system or specialized in the field of distribution in the future, it is also promising.
When he returned to the company in a good mood, he immediately rushed to the R&D department, which is the focus of Polestar's work at the moment.
Fortunately, a qiē is considered to be progressing smoothly.
Song Xiaogang's team has many practical experiences with the CSTN screen last time, and it is not a big problem to launch a high-end TFT LCD screen this time.
TFT LCD screen is a very high-end LCD screen, it is equipped with a semiconductor switch for each pixel, which can be directly controlled and continuously controlled, which can not only improve the response speed of the display, but also accurately control the grayscale of the display, and the color is more realistic.
They have now selected a well-known supplier in the industry and are now ready to start the final fit trial.
At the same time, there are also various functional experience enhancement and design, because most of them can adopt the modular design of third-party professional companies, so the work is not complicated, and now it is also adapting with the design scheme.
The adaptation of BBE sound effects was promoted smoothly with the assistance of three engineers from Philips, and according to Yang Chunsheng's estimate, the basic prototype development of all S1 can be completed within three days at the earliest!
Xia Yu is also very concerned about the shell molding, Fan Pingze personally checked, several abrasive cutting machines and injection molding machines are in full swing, has "produced" in addition to dozens of shell models - of course, all of them are unqualified, but these can help engineers adjust the parameters to make a more perfect design on the computer design software.
Xia Yu didn't bother the engineers, pulled Fan Pingze out and asked him, "How is the contact with Frog?
"I was about to report to you!"
Just came out, Fan Pingze took off his gloves and lit a cigarette, and said, "The request you sent me in the email the day before yesterday." I translated it in design language and forwarded it. It is worthy of being the most professional, and the quotation was sent over last night. All the details are clearly priced, and the price is scary!"
"Oh. How much is it?"
Xia Yu remembered that he had made requests with reference to some popular MP3 control experiences and interfaces in the future, and many details that could be thought of were added according to memory.
Fan Pingze was prepared, took out a piece of printing paper from his pocket and handed it over, and said: "The interface design is a total of 1.42 million, and the control mode is a little better, 970,000, all of which are clearly marked with prices! They don't accept bargaining!"
Of course, this also has to do with the fact that Polestar itself is a small business and does not have high requirements. If you design a logo or something for a large company and a full set of style plans or something, tens of millions of dollars is the starting price.
That's more than two million again. Fortunately, the K2 hit has made Polestar's cash flow abundant.
Xia Yu gritted his teeth, "Okay, this money is out! At most, in a week, I must see the final version that I am satisfied with!"
"This should be no problem, Frog values credibility more than anything else, I will officially place an order, and the first draft will come out in three days, and I will call you to discuss it when the time comes." ”
As for the design ideas that Chong Xia Yu sent him before, Fan Pingze already regarded him as his "own person" a little. That's a saying in design circles. Represents an attitude of recognition.
Xia Yu nodded: "Okay, you can call me at any time!"
……
Because Luo Dong has too many things arranged at hand, Xia Yu directly found the relatively idle Zheng Wei about the S1 and celebrity endorsement that was going to be launched in January 2005.
But he didn't know. Zheng Wei is having lunch with Xia Mingde!
Xia Mingde, who is thirty-three years old Chinese New Year's Eve, is still "single", but has had several girlfriends in the past. However, in the past three months, I have been with Zheng Wei because of the preparation of the headquarters and the flagship store. After gradually getting acquainted, I felt pretty good, so I moved a little thought.
Zheng Wei is twenty-nine years old. is also single, this age is not too young for a woman. It's just that she's busy with work and hasn't paid much attention to it.
She can also see Xia Mingde's overtures, and her senses are not bad, at least it is rare for a man to be thirty-three in his career and not have any bad habits, so he did not refuse his kindness.
Of course, the two are still too early to confirm their relationship, but they are just beginning to have a good impression of each other.
"It's Mr. Xiaoxia's call! Call me back to the company to discuss things. "It's almost finished here, Zheng Wei shouted first when he received the call.
Xia Mingde smiled and nodded: "It's Xia Yu, he must have something to do with you at work." My nephew is good at everything, but he is not very old and very ambitious. Let's go, I'll send you back!"
"Hmm!"
When Xia Yu waited for Zheng Wei in the office, he had already checked Zhou Xun's information on the Internet for a while.
This skinny girl has just turned thirty this year, and she is an actress when she is in her prime. Her most characteristic is her voice, hoarse but not lacking in magnetism, and at the same time, her eyebrows reveal the state of an elf, which is very spiritual. Of course, her calm and elegant temperament and increasingly powerful aura also add points to her.
And now "Zhou Gongzi" has become famous with "Daming Palace Ancestral Hall", and has won two international awards one after another, and last year with the wonderful interpretation of the role of Huang Rong in the new "Legend of the Condor Heroes", it is very popular among the young generation.
So when Xia Yu told Zheng Wei that she wanted to ask Zhou Xun to endorse Polestar's new products, she was quite surprised.
"This, won't it be very expensive!" Zheng Wei really hadn't been exposed to this kind of thing before.
"It should be okay, just don't win it for more than 1 million!" Although Xia Yu doesn't know much about these, and Zhou Gongzi's worth has always been relatively high among actresses, but at this time, she should not be too outrageous when she has not won a big contract with Chanel.
He also inquired with Zhang Ru, and basically seven or eight hundred thousand years can be paid.
Polestar is completely acceptable to this price, after all, it is not the time when K1 has to owe hundreds of thousands of advertising dollars first.
Xia Yu took out a piece of paper from the table and said, "In addition, the time is a little tight, Mr. Zheng will handle it immediately! At the same time, our partner Xingru Advertising is responsible for the follow-up advertising shooting system, and you just need to negotiate the endorsement. ”
Zheng Wei nodded: "Well, then I'll try it and try to win it as soon as possible!"
"Yes, for sure!" Xia Yu smiled strangely, "Who made me like her so much!"
It turns out that Xia Yu's prediction is quite accurate.
Zheng Wei quickly found Zhou Xun's contact, at this time she had not yet established her own studio, and even the name of "Zhou Gongzi" had not yet come out, and similar advertising endorsement business was in charge of the agent Li Xiaowan.
This person is also a bull in the entertainment industry, with average appearance, but the hype methods and operation methods are first-class. It is said that he had a falling out with Zhou Gongzi later, because he got too much commission, of course, just listen to all kinds of rumors in the entertainment industry.
At least when Zheng Wei came into contact with this woman, a qiē was quite smooth.
Because of the hit of the "Cold" advertising song, Polestar Electronics is also somewhat famous. Zheng Wei, who came to the door with this small achievement, was quickly received, and officially won Zhou Xun's endorsement contract after some bargaining.
900,000!
That's a year's endorsement price! The terms only stipulate two commercials and five appearances a year for the Polestar platform. This price was not low in 2004.
Xia Yu was also very happy when he got the news, he has never been a star chaser, but Zhou Xun is also one of the very few stars he likes.
The schedule is just right, so the commercial may start shooting right away.
However, Xia Yu didn't have the heart to participate, because after several ways to investigate, there was finally news from Qixi's side! (To be continued......)
PS: Zhou Gongzi is indeed my goddess, although she has just married a woman...... In addition, she really acted as an agent for an MP3 in 04, which is a space warrior in Keshangmei, a brand that is not big or small. But let's give it to Polestar here, haha!
This is a change, today strive for 10,000 words and three changes, and get 30 monthly passes plus more. Jiangshang's character is absolutely good, all of you can learn from it!
