[Chapter 21: Kiao] (2) The favor of the second ancestor
Many years later, Jiang Rui also thought carefully about why he fell behind when he first met Tang Qingyou. After careful analysis, he found that in fact, his subconscious had already given her a very high score in Tang Qingyou's reaction.
The domestic market-oriented theater management has always been more management than art, and the theater management affiliated to the theater troupe is to serve the performance group, lacking the concept of venue management, so most of them have gone to extremes. Unlike the domestic theater general manager responsibility system, many foreign theaters have adopted the management structure of artistic director + administrative director, with the artistic director grasping the content and the general administrative supervision and operation.
In the first round of dialogue with Jiang Rui, Tang Qingyou came with the idea of operation and management that no one in China had started, and he immediately got Jiang Rui's taste right.
Jiang Rui is still a man of action, and he had a preliminary discussion with Tang Qingyou, and the next day he asked Tang Qingyou to visit the Qiao Drama Center and its cultural and creative park.
Tang Qingyou observed all the way, full of curiosity about Jiang Rui's background, and secretly inquired about Kong Jiaren, who looked through the process of acquaintance with Jiang Rui very seriously, and finally only gave a vague sentence: "The family background is good." β
In fact, there is no need for Kong Jiaren to say more, anyone with a discerning eye can see that Jiang Rui must be born rich and noble, otherwise at his age, he is already the major shareholder of the Cultural and Creative Park, and if he has no background, he may not even want to get the land, and this piece of Cultural and Creative Park is not his main business, which is even more reverie. He can set aside space to build a theater for his own preferences, and he can throw the theater idle for a long time to raise mosquitoes, so naturally he has more important careers to be busy. Based on this bit of information, Tang Qingyou was sure that Jiang Rui was a second ancestor, but Kong Jia didn't know much about it, and it was inconvenient for her to ask more, so she had to treat Jiang Rui as an ordinary small boss and focus her attention on the theater itself.
After seeing the hardware equipment, Tang Qingyou was a little stunned, the 500-seat small theater was built almost in accordance with international standards to reduce the proportion of the large theater, using the top stage equipment, what main lifting platform side lifting table grabbing dressing room, everything is available. The acoustic effect of the said good theatrical performance venue is completely compared with the standard of the opera hall...... Shocked, Tang Qingyou asked Jiang Rui unabashedly: "Such a good venue, have you been raising mosquitoes for three years?" The annual maintenance fee is seven figures, right? β
Hearing Tang Qingyou's calculations, Jiang Rui felt a little embarrassed in front of the experts: "What, at the beginning, I just thought about building it, so I smashed all the cash in my hand into it." After smashing, I found ......"
"Don't have the money to operate?" Tang Qingyou couldn't help but guess.
Kong Jiaren on the side was inexplicably nervous, wiped her sweat for Tang Qingyou, and she subconsciously prayed that this was not true. But unfortunately, Tang Qingyou guessed correctly.
Jiang Rui smiled: "Yes, fortunately, there is no money after it was built." If half of the construction funds are cut off, I'm in trouble. β
"I'm guessing you're a perfectionist." Tang Qingyou looked at his nose and nose, and showed a sly smile, "It must be built according to international standards, and the cost cannot be low." You're not willing to compromise, so the hardware itself is severely overspent. In fact, it is not impossible to open after it is built, you must have your own considerations in mind, including positioning. If it weren't for a clear positioning in the first place, you wouldn't have named this theater a drama hub. You can call it the Kio Arts Center, just like any other performing organization. β
Jiang Rui was very happy when he heard this: "I think you must be my long-lost twin sister, how can you know me so well?" It's like having a mental feeling. β
Kong Jiaren has always been treated as a transparent person, and finally couldn't help but speak at this moment: "Mr. Jiang, your capital chain is broken, what are you looking for our family Qingyou to do?" "βIsn't this a trick?
Jiang Rui and Tang Qingyou looked at each other and smiled.
Kong Jia people do not know why.
Jiang Rui didn't answer, but sent an invitation to Tang Qingyou: "Teacher Tang will analyze again?" β
Tang Qingyou took this temporary "test", turned his little head, and said his guess: "Mr. Jiang spent three years to raise funds, and now that the funds are in hand, he plans to start the Qiao Drama Center and do a big job." β
Jiang Rui's eyes widened and said, "I really guessed rightβhalf of it." As he spoke, he smiled and confided in him the true situation: "I spent three years without raising enough funds, and I went back to Beijing to borrow a sum from my old man." The old man was very happy this time, that is, there was an additional condition, let me go to work in the unit he designated, and I was not allowed to leave Beijing. β
Such a sincere answer completely frightened Tang Qingyou, no matter how he answered, it was not appropriate, and when he glanced at Kong Jiaren, he also had an indescribable expression.
Jiang Rui saw that they were frightened by their "unreliability", and knew that they couldn't tear it anymore, so he hurriedly explained: "What I said is exaggerating, right?" It's good that you get used to it. In short, the funds are sufficient now, and it depends on Mr. Tang how to operate in the future. β
Tang Qingyou realized that this was entrusting him with an important task, and hurriedly asked: "What is Mr. Jiang's positioning of the drama center?" What are the milestones? β
"Isn't the theater center positioned as a theater?" Jiang Rui was a little puzzled, "Every performing arts organization and every theater likes to talk about positioning, values, and visions when they are just established. Did it work? If you can't survive, you still have to transform. If you live well, even if you have no positioning, no values, and no vision, the market and audience will give it. β
Jiang Rui's remarks are unique, and he seems to be as willful as himself, but it seems to have some truth, Tang Qingyou couldn't help but ask for advice: "What is the basis for what Mr. Jiang said?" β
Jiang Rui's expression at the moment seemed to be a little cowardly: "You know DruryLane, right?" So many famous drama musicals have been incubated by such a thriving theater cluster, including "Miss Saigon". But do you know what those theaters used to do? β
Tang Qingyou remembered in a trance that when Zhan Hung introduced the West End of London, he had introduced it one by one, but after many years, he couldn't remember the glorious history of the Drury Lane Theater at all. She shook her head and sincerely asked for advice: "Mr. Jiang, please give advice!" β
Jiang Rui smiled evilly: "Play pornographic movies." β
Tang Qingyou was finally convinced that back then, the serious Master Zhanhong had definitely never introduced this stubble!
Suddenly, she looked at Jiang Rui's eyes, and there was a little more trust and admiration.
When Tang Qingyou relayed Jiang Rui's remarks to Zhanhong, his eyebrows fluttered and he was happy from the heart.
Zhanhong actually heard a rough idea from his daughter-in-law Kong Jiaren before Tang Qingyou arrived, and gave Jiang Rui a big red cross in his heart. But Tang Qingyou finally found a place to appreciate her to show her strength, and he was not good at pouring cold water on him as a teacher, so he had a plan and said to Tang Qingyou seriously: "I'll give you a brand new task." While practicing, while doing a topic, your current topic is: how to be a serious cultural person in this era of pan-entertainment background. β
The sluggish Tang Qingyou didn't know why, so she happily agreed, just as she happily accepted the favor of Jiang Rui, the second ancestor.
Tang Qingyou went to the Qiao Drama Center, which was waiting to be revived, and dragged the administrative director she recommended, Zou Jianfeng, to start a new round of her life trek.
Thousands of miles away, Linda asked Tu Yiran with a coffee with an unpredictable smile: "Yolanda suddenly became popular and brought you with me." This wave of operation is very professional! β
The corners of Tu Yiran's mouth curled slightly, and after taking a sip of coffee, he said firmly: "She didn't do it." She disdains hot searches. β
Linda couldn't help but wonder: "I'm sure you know her. But are you sure she doesn't want to take shortcuts? She just suffered a lot of losses in the workplace, and now it's normal if she chooses to take an unusual path. β
"When you met her, she was already the vice president of Yida Culture, and you don't know her." Tu Yiran put the coffee cup in her hand back into the plate, "When she was a student, she had the professionalism of being a professional actor and all the external conditions for her debut, but she herself didn't want to become famous." That's why I was moved by me to work in Yida Culture. If she has a dream of stardom and fame and fortune, it is estimated that we will not be able to go long at all. With her conditions back then, following the arrangement of her mentor and brothers, she will make her debut from stage plays step by step, shoot commercials, cross-border film and television, and finally become popular, in case she wins an award, she will be in the air for everyone to admire...... When I saw her acting skills, I carefully analyzed her comprehensive conditions, and I could see her future situation almost at a glance. β
"Having a performance artist as a girlfriend, don't you have more face? Why would you want to stop her in showbiz? Linda asked.
"I'm not afraid of your jokes." Although Tu Yiran spoke straightforwardly, his words were mixed, "I was really afraid that she would fly back then." The nature of my own work is too busy to tie her up all the time, and if I let her stay in the showbiz, the situation will be too complicated, and I am afraid that she will change her mind at any time in places I can't see. So, I took advantage of her character weakness and guided her to stay within the range I could monitor. β
"Looks like you've put a lot of effort into her." Linda thoughtfully, "You're not afraid that she's flying this time, so you're pushing her out?" β
"Of course I'm afraid if she really achieves good things or meets someone who loves her more than I do. I don't think I can accept it either. Tu Yiran said, his brows furrowed slightly, "However, she can obviously have a more brilliant life, if because of me, I have repeatedly given up the happiness of struggle, she regrets it in the future, and I can't be happy." Perhaps, I'm just trying to have peace of mind. β
Linda shook her head: "Where are you trying to be at ease." It's clearly a piece of hard work, but she doesn't know it. β
"Knowing that, she will give up everything just for me." Tu Yiran said, "This is the biggest weakness in her character." β
