Chapter 543: The Storm is Rising!
The simultaneous departure of the two vice presidents, coupled with the collective job hopping of more than a dozen artists of the company, still caused a series of turmoil to Legendary Entertainment. In the past few days, there are many people in the company who feel apprehensive. Every time Liu Yufan goes to work, he can even feel the eyes and whispers of those employees behind him.
"It's not going to work like this, we have to find a way to boost the morale of our employees." Liu Yufan said with a frown.
"Yufan, don't work too hard, pay attention to your body." Jiang Ya stood behind him, gently rubbed his temples with both hands, and comforted him softly. In the past few days, Yu Fan has been worrying about running the art training center on the one hand, but on the other hand, he has to deal with the crisis of the company, which really keeps him busy. After all, he is just a child in his early twenties, and most of the young people of his age are still carefree on campus, but he has taken on so many responsibilities prematurely, and sometimes Jiang Ya looks a little unbearable.
"Sister, I know it in my heart." Liu Yufan exhaled lightly, enjoying this rare moment of gentleness and tranquility.
"Well, that's good, work is important, and body is even more important. Although you are still young, you can't work too hard, you can't make enough money, but health is the most important thing, you know? Jiang Ya said softly.
"Got it, sister, don't worry." Liu Yufan smiled and patted her hand with a smile.
There is no doubt that Legendary Entertainment is in a crisis right now. Although on the surface, the company is still operating normally, the incident has dealt a big blow to the company's morale.
"It seems that there are some actions to be made. Let the company stretch and stretch its fists. Liu Yufan's slightly closed eyes suddenly burst out with a ball of fine light!
"Anyway, we are also reborn, no matter how big Bai Dai, Rolling Stone, and DG are. Lao Tzu also wants to have fun with you! Liu Yufan said secretly in his heart, and at the same time, several thoughts vaguely appeared before. Once again, it was clear in my mind.
What is the most important thing about an entertainment company? Is it a huge amount of money? Deep background? Of course, these are necessary, but they are not the most critical. Whether an entertainment company has a future depends on whether there are artists who can take the lead.
At the moment, Liu Yufan has a few quite good artists in his hands, but without exception, they all belong to the kind of newcomers who have just emerged. According to Liu Yufan's idea, as long as it develops step by step. These people will definitely be able to reach the heights he expects in the future, but now it seems that some of them will be brought to the ground with proper uprooting.
Liu Yufan's first thought was Jay Chou.
This future Asian pop king, at this moment, under Liu Yufan's hands, has gradually had the prototype of a future superstar, and has come to Legendary Entertainment. On the basis of Liu Yufan's "Blue and White Porcelain", "Thousands of Miles Away", "Nunchuck", etc., his creative inspiration was also completely ignited, and he successively created many songs such as "Dragon Fist", "Qili Xiang", "Hair Like Snow", "Lan Ting Preface", and the first album "Qili Xiang" also sold more than 5 million copies in Asia, which can be described as a dish of fame. With his current state of development. Liu Yufan decided to add another fire to him.
In the office, Jay Chou sat a little cramped opposite Liu Yufan. This big boy, who is three years younger than Liu Yufan, although he has an amazing talent in music, in private, he is a little introverted and shy, and he is not good at expressing himself.
However, he is dressed in a punk outfit, with a denim hole suit, full of metal chains, and dyed dark yellow hair, all of which look in line with his super hipster status.
"Mr. Liu, is there something wrong with me?" Jay Chou looked at Liu Yufan, who was sitting opposite him, and asked a little nervously.
"Hehe, Jielun, I've been in the company for a few months, how do you feel?" Liu Yufan asked with a smile. …,
"It's good, the people in the company are good, and then the Beijing side feels pretty good, but it's a little bit better than Taipei." Looking at Liu Yufan, Jay Chou thought for a while and said.
For Jay Chou, Liu Yufan is not just a boss for him, in his heart, Liu Yufan is more like his teacher. Most of his current musical inspiration can be said to have been brought to him by Liu Yufan. The songs that Liu Yufan wrote for him before were like a key that opened the door to his creative inspiration. So for Liu Yufan, Jay Chou is in awe and grateful. In the company's job-hopping turmoil two days ago, except for Linghua, he was the most determined one. Because of this incident, he almost turned his face with Li Yi. A singer dares to work against a vice president, you can imagine how much courage it takes. It can also be seen from this how loyal he is to Legendary Entertainment, or Liu Yufan. To put it mildly, in his heart, Liu Yufan is his music godfather.
"Hehe, Jielun, don't be nervous, just talk casually." Liu Yufan could see the tension in front of Dong Chou. At this moment, although he has faintly revealed his superstar demeanor, he is not a real superstar after all, and his psychological quality is still poor.
"Okay, Mr. Liu. By the way, it doesn't matter what happened to the company some time ago. Jay Chou looked at Liu Yufan with an easy-going look, and his mood was a little lighter, and he wanted to find something to talk about, so he naturally talked about it.
As soon as the words came out, he regretted it. It's not a pot that can't be opened! Mr. Liu is worried, but he still mentions it.
looked at Mr. Liu a little nervously, but found that the other party's face was the same as usual, and there was no obvious change, so he breathed a sigh of relief.
"It's okay, it's all trivial. Seriously, Jielun, I am very touched that you can stand firmly on the side of the company at such a juncture, really. Looking at Jay Chou, Liu Yufan said sincerely.
"Mr. Liu, you are too polite, I don't care about others, I must be firmly on the side of the company. People must know how to be grateful, if you hadn't discovered me, I wouldn't have achieved what I am today. Looking at Liu Yufan, Zhou Jielun said eagerly. He didn't say this to show loyalty to his boss, in fact, he didn't have such a scheming, these words were completely from his heart.
"Hehe, I know. By the way, Jielun, I came to you today mainly because I wanted to discuss something with you. Liu Yufan looked at Jay Chou and saw that he was listening carefully, so he continued: "Jie Lun, have you ever thought about making a movie? ”
"Making a movie?" Hearing Mr. Liu's words, Zhou Jielun was taken aback slightly, and his thinking was slightly unable to turn around. He didn't know why he suddenly mentioned it on the movie, if he said it well.
But make a movie! For young people, this topic is undoubtedly very tempting.
"What kind of movie is it~~?" Looking at Mr. Liu, Jay Chou asked with some expectation. To be honest, the rumors about them, Liu Zong is always a genius screenwriter, are no secret in the company. A "Pirates of the Caribbean" has made Liu Yufan an idol worshiped by these young people. At this moment, hearing the words "making a movie" from his mouth, Jay Chou's little heart has begun to beat uncontrollably.
"Make a movie about racing. A film full of youth, blood, and challenging elements. Looking at Jay Chou, Liu Yufan said in a seductive tone.
"Racing!" This word rushed to Jay Chou's mind, and it suddenly made him excited again!
Young people, how many don't like cars? Especially racing! Jay Chou is a racing fan in private. Although his current income is not very high, he has gritted his teeth some time ago and used the money he earned from singing to buy himself a Mercedes-Benz SLK sports car that he has liked for a long time, and when he has nothing to do, he will drive it to a private track to ride. At this moment, hearing Liu Yufan say that he wants to make a movie about racing, it is no wonder that Jay Chou is not excited. …,
"Mr. Liu, do you mean, let me shoot?" Looking at Liu Yufan, Jay Chou couldn't control his emotions a little, and asked in a somewhat trembling tone.
Jay Chou's series of reactions, Liu Yufan naturally saw it in his eyes, secretly funny in his heart, but he was silent on the surface, nodded at him and said: "That's right, I just have a completed script here, which is a story about young people playing racing, I think it's more appropriate for you to play the leading role, and I also created two theme songs for this movie, and I'm going to hand them over to you to sing, how about it, do you have the confidence to complete him?" ”
"Yes!" As soon as Liu Yufan's words fell, Jay Chou couldn't help but nod heavily, racing, movies, singing, any of these words are enough to make young people's blood boil together, and what young person can refuse its temptation?
"Hehe, okay, I will ask the company to prepare this crew as soon as possible, arrange the performance of your performance during this time, don't take over the new commercial performances, prepare for this drama with all your might, I assure you, this is a good show!" Liu Yufan said with a smile.
"Thank you, Mr. Liu, I will work hard!" At this moment, Jay Chou's heart was already full of fantasies, thinking about making movies, and when Liu Yufan said this, he naturally responded excitedly.
"Well, that's it, get ready!" Liu Yufan stood up, patted Zhou Jielun's shoulder heavily, and encouraged.
Looking at the back of Jay Chou leaving, a smile rose on the corner of Liu Yufan's mouth.
"Hehe, "Initial D", this movie will definitely make young people crazy, but there is only such one, how can it be enough?" Liu Yufan said to himself with a smile. At this moment, in his mind, a huge plan is slowly taking shape. And the entertainment industry in the mainland and even the entire Asian region is about to set off a storm because of his plan!
