Chapter 61: Make an Idea
It didn't take long for Feng Xiaonan to come back from outside, with a shocked face.
"Done?" Xia Donghai found that his wife's face was a little out of control, and he couldn't help but ask with some worry.
Feng Xiaonan nodded, opened his mouth, and did not speak.
Five million! It's still dollars! That's it on your account! You must know that the exchange rate between the RMB and the US dollar on the black market is about ten to one, which is equivalent to 50 million RMB! The current salary level in Shanghai is only a thousand yuan a month, which is considered a high salary! 50 million RMB!
Feng Xiaonan still feels a little like being in a cloud until now, he went out this time, and he actually has half a billion wealth, and it is pure cash!
And it is also necessary to remember that in the new company, there is 10 million dollars of investment a year, of which 1 million US dollars is their own investment.
"What should I do next?" After calming down, Feng Xiaonan felt that he should show a little quality, so he asked Fan Wuxian calmly.
"Signed this contract." Fan Wuxian pushed the contract drafted by Davis in front of Feng Xiaonan, and then said with a smile, "If it's too troublesome, it's okay to press a handprint." β
Feng Xiaonan took the contract, thought for a while and said, "Let's sign it, it feels a little weird to press the handprint, as if signing a deed of sale." β
So Feng Xiaonan signed his name on it, and then asked Xia Donghai to sign his name as well, and finally Xia Xue also wanted to come over and sign his name, but was stopped by Fan Wuxi.
"Forget it, if you are under the age of eighteen, where are there any human rights!" Fan Wuxian snatched the contract and said to Xia Xue, who was about to take a pen to sign.
"But I'm also involved! It's not fair for you to do that! Besides, you don't seem to be as old as me, do you? I'm going to take the college entrance examination! Xia Xue protested with some dissatisfaction.
Fan Wuxian put away the contract and handed it to Davis for him to save it, and then said to Xia Xue slowly, "I have a passport of multiple nationalities, so naturally I can't treat you the same." If you are like this, you are mixed in the company all day long, and some people will say that we employ child labor, which is bad for our image! However, if you really want to stay in the company, you have to take it seriously according to social practice, and you can't get paid! β
After hearing this, Xia Xue hated the root of her teeth, and stretched out her fist at Fan Wuxian, "What a capitalist!" Only then did he gain control of the company and began to crack down on the old employees! β
Feng Xiaonan was not there just now, and asked Fan Wuxian at this time, "The company is also surnamed Fan, and the $10 million activity fund is also in place, how should we spend it now?" Looking at so much money, it's a bit dazed! β
"That's not going to work!" Fan Wuxian said with a smile, "Everything should have a rule, we want to engage in the entertainment industry, naturally the same, the so-called precautions, I think the main work now is to start with the preparation of the audition." β
"Starting with the auditions? Can you be specific? I'll see if there's anything to do. Xia Donghai is also more concerned about this.
In fact, Feng Xiaonan and Xia Donghai were both engaged in behind-the-scenes work in the past, one was engaged in copywriting and planning, and the other was engaged in organization and coordination.
Whether a star or singer can become popular or not, a large part of the factor is the problem of, the strength of his person is important, but in the case of similar strength, if you want to stand out from the thousands of troops, you have to rely entirely on methods to realize your dreams.
For this, Fan Wuxian is deeply aware of this.
After more than ten or twenty years, in order to become famous, everyone has exhausted all their tricks, what family affection, what morality, what shame, can completely stand aside, as long as they can be famous, they are willing to sell their father.
For example, the emperor's hype is famous, but there are also times when the nude photos scandal ruined a group of people, and if the initiator is really investigated, then the result is really hard to say.
Fan Wuxian naturally wants to engage in hype, because this thing is quick and easy to become famous, and after the process is collectivized, the operating cost will be very low, once he makes the New Silk Road Entertainment Company a successful civilian star-making platform, this mechanism will run on its own, and the cost that the company needs to invest will be almost negligible, and it will even become a profitable link.
"Where to start?" The audition work is complicated, the biggest problem is that it has an unknowable surname, Fan Wuxian didn't know where to start talking about it for a while, he raised his head, and suddenly saw Xia Xue standing there fiddling with her plaid skirt, the whole person looked young and beautiful, and couldn't help but move in his heart, and said to everyone with a smile, "Isn't this ready-made!" The first topic we need to discuss now is how to make Xiaoxue a star! β
Belch?! Xia Donghai and Feng Xiaonan were both stunned, and an ordinary child like Xiaoxue, a high school student who is about to take the college entrance examination, can also be a star? ! However, Feng Xiaonan reacted immediately, since ordinary children like Xiaoxue can become stars, then the popular and positive surnames of the majority of ordinary people are not immediately mobilized? !
Then everyone's thoughts were opened, Feng Xiaonan first said, "Xiaoxue's situation, except for her beautiful appearance, is not outstanding in other aspects, but she still has some foundation in dance, which can be strengthened from this aspect, plus she can quickly form a few pop songs and walk on the stage a few times, I guess she can still pull it out and make a bright appearance." β
Fan Wuxian nodded and praised, "Ha, this is the first step, we must have a more professional team of analysts, who can evaluate the players more comprehensively and determine the most suitable direction for the development of the players, so that we can select talents who can be cultivated from the vast sea of people." β
"Secondly, we need professional instructors, which we may lack in this regard, but we can hire instructors from professional conservatories, or we can hire more successful pop singers to guide them. In addition, it is necessary to have talents such as dance and image, costume design, hairstyle design, etc., so as to ensure that the image of the contestants on stage is the most perfect! "Once a woman's imagination is unearthed, it is very scary.
Fan Wuxian nodded and clapped his hands to show that he completely agreed.
"Media! Media support is also very important! Feng Xiaonan was a little excited at the moment, almost forty years old, his face was red like a little girl, and he waved his hand excitedly and said, "We need a group of media reporters who can promote according to our intentions, so that they can cooperate with us and carry out the promotion activities of the contestants, otherwise, it is not enough to invest money!" We need to let the public know every detail of our players! In this way, we can increase the public's support for the players! β
What an inference! Fan Wuxian secretly said in his heart, I haven't said a word yet, just a beginning, and she has played so many digressions, what a material for the entertainment industry! With such a company CEO to operate, plus I provide a little new ideas myself, this company is not going to be big!
"We need the TV station to cooperate with the publicity! Newspapers too! Only by making the momentum bigger can we attract social attention! If necessary, you can also play the political axe! After all, such activities can also be said to enliven the cultural life of the local masses, and the local government must be willing to support it! Feng Xiaonan mentioned one more point.
"Anything else?" Fan Wuxian asked.
"I can't think of it for the time being, these things are in specific operation, and they are definitely not as simple as moving their mouths now! Now it seems that the investment of $10 million a year is really not too much! Feng Xiaonan said with a smile.
However, Xia Donghai raised a question next to him, a very real question, "According to what you said, there will inevitably be a competition after the audition, but how should the fairness of the competition be guaranteed?" Can the authority of such activities be guaranteed? If it's just a commercial gimmick, I'm afraid it won't last long! And then there's the issue of the cycle of activities? How often should it be done? If the time is short, there is no effect, and if the time is long, it will consume too much manpower and material resources, and we will also not be able to bear it! β
The question raised by Xia Donghai involves the fact that the activity can be used as a surname.
If you put it in a dozen years, these are not problems. The fair surname of the game,You can hire a statutory notary public to carry out on-site notarization,It's nothing more than to pay some money,Since the sports lottery and the two-color ball can be notarized by the notary office,And there has been an experience of stealing the color change ball,Then it is logical to notarize the lip sync,It is also a logical thingγ
And the authoritative surname is better solved, please ask some professors from the School of Arts of the Conservatory of Music and the like, plus a few heavyweight singers and stars, plus a few cultural celebrities, this team will be set up, as long as the insiders don't speak, where can the people distinguish those subtle differences?
The cycle of the event is a problem, the company holds the audition, which is nothing more than two ways, one is like the Youth Song Competition, which is held once a year and every two years, but the cycle is too long, which is not conducive to the launch of newcomers, and the influence will naturally be reduced. The ideal model in Fan Wuxi's mind is like the model of the Avenue of Stars, once a week, the weekly champion is produced, the monthly champion is determined once a month, and the annual champion is finally determined. In this way, it can ensure that the coherence of the show and the enthusiasm of the audience can be maintained, and the popularity of the contestants can be guaranteed to be higher and higher.
So Fan Wuxian thought about it, and at the same time wrote down some of the experience of some audition activities he had experienced in later generations on paper, and then summarized it, and finally wrote more than a dozen pages of manuscript paper before he stopped.
Feng Xiaonan and Xia Donghai were greatly impressed after reading the main points written by Fan Wuxian, it was really hard to imagine how many new and strange things were in Mr. Fan's head? How much potential is left to be tapped?
Fan Wuxian basically listed all the problems that he could think of, like things like shady and unspoken rules, and also mentioned the above, and said a more pertinent sentence, "We can't expect the entire competition process to be absolutely impartial!" Know that the audience is not everything! Who is in charge of the audition? It's us! In order to maximize business profits, we need to sacrifice some honesty and principles as a price! Only when there is a shady scene, an unspoken rule, and a story that has to be told between the director and the female contestant, can this event be more interesting, more attractive, and more commercially valuable! So, at the right time, we need to inadvertently create some shady and unspoken rules to cater to the bad taste of the audience! Only the ones that attract everyone's attention are the most successful! is the most valuable investment! β
After Fan Wuxian finished saying these words in one breath, he found that the people in the room were all looking at him stupidly, as if they were looking at aliens, including a few foreign devils. So he sighed and said, "You see, in fact, this world is so deformed! Not everything that is perfect succeeds in getting everyone's attention, on the contrary, mixed with some evil and negative lace news, it is the favorite of everyone! Mix in the entertainment industry, don't be afraid that you are too unclean! β
Seeing that everyone was still staring at him, Fan Wuxian couldn't help but touch his chin and said, "Do you think my thoughts are more evil?" β
After a long time, Feng Xiaonan shook his head and said, "I don't think so, I'm just thinking, thinking that a genius like you doesn't go to the entertainment industry by yourself is really the biggest loss for the people of the world!" It's just that your set of theories, shouldn't we find a player to try it first and see if it works? β
"That's for sure!" Fan Wuxi was obviously a little unhappy with Feng Xiaonan's statement, he pointed to Xia Xue who was sitting on the side and said, "I think that if we can make Xiaoxue popular, then we will have similar operational capabilities!" β
"Why me? I still have to take the college entrance examination! Xia Xue was obviously frightened by Fan Wuxi's evil theory.
It's also strange that Fan Wuxian just said a lot of shady and unspoken rules or something, which shocked this simple flower girl a lot, at this time he actually said that he wanted to make himself popular, so didn't he say that he would finally deal with those shady and unspoken rules?
Oh my God, who's going to play tricks on themselves?
Xia Xue glanced at Fan Wuxi, who was smiling proudly, and intuitively felt that this guy must not have a good heart.
"Actually, I'm kind!" As if he had guessed Xia Xue's thoughts, Fan Wuxian said to her seriously, "Think about it, if you become a powerful singer of the youth and invincible beautiful girl idol or something, you can earn tens of millions of dollars a year!" Dollars! Sell another scandal or something, take a photo or something, do an endorsement or something, maybe you can make a few blockbuster movies, win the Oscar or something, then you can drag it up! At that time, the limelight of the country's leaders will not necessarily be stronger than yours! What kind of husband do you want at that time, isn't it hard to choose? Whether it is Chinese, foreigners, yellow people, white people, if there are aliens, it is estimated that it will not escape your clutches! Do you think that what kind of work can have such a good income? β
Xia Donghai listened to it anymore, and immediately walked over and pulled Xia Xue aside and said, "This is not good!" My family is such a baby daughter, how can I pull it out and let you be an experiment? In case of ruin, who are we going to spend so much money on? Don't mention that you again! We sell the company, sell the youth, sell the labor force, but we don't sell the daughter! β
"Really? The future is bright! How many people are rushing to come, and they all want to come! Fan Wuxian asked.
"Absolutely not!" Xia Donghai shook his head again and again, and it was incumbent on him to assume the obligation of guardianship and resist Fan Wuxi's coercion and temptation.
Fan Wuxian smiled and said, "You said this thing, but it doesn't count!" β
"Does it count for the hair? I'm her dad and guardian! Xia Donghai said confidently.
Fan Wuxian pulled out a document like a trick, shook it with a smile, and said, "Hehehe, there is such a document in the document you signed just now, Xia Xue has become the first signed artist in our company!" In other words, Xia Xue's future life and public activities must obey the company's arrangements! The time of this contract, let me see, well, ten years! β
"Impossible, right?!" Xia Donghai glanced at Feng Xiaonan and said very resolutely, "We have definitely never signed such a document!" You must be fooling us! β
Fan Wuxian smiled and said, "You didn't sign it, but Xiaoxue signed it!" β
"Have you signed it?" Xia Donghai didn't believe it, turned his head and asked his daughter.
Xia Xue looked at the document and stammered and replied, "I know what kind of document it is, he said that he had something good for me, and he stuffed me with a pen, so I just signed it-"
The two couples suddenly smiled bitterly, although Fan Wuxian may not be serious, but it is annoying to mention it! Although it is true that he sold the company for a good price, he also sold his daughter by the way, what is this called?
This kid is so bad! The two couples gritted their teeth and looked at Fan Wuxian, eager to bite him twice to vent their anger!
