Top of the Great Era

Chapter 2244
Boss Ma was a little confused. He didn't know what this kid meant by inviting a group of Korean girls to dance.What about Hallyu art... He didn't see the slightest bit of art, but he saw the chest shaking and hips scratching his head and posing.

In front, strong singing and dancing are being performed.

Here, Zhou Buqi looked at Boss Ma sitting next to him with a smile, "How is it?"

Boss Ma was a little confused, so he said, "It's pretty good."

Zhou Buqi said with emotion: "The Korean wave is now sweeping across Asia, and it has begun to spread to Europe and the United States. This Girls' Generation group is one of the best and is very popular with young people. Some time ago, they just performed in Madison, New York. The concert in Garden Plaza is over."

Boss Ma glanced at him, "Is it related to you?"

"Huh?" Zhou Buqi was slightly startled, and then waved his hand, "It has something to do with me, but that's not what I'm talking about, and I'm not here to show off to you. I just feel a little bit, Girls' Generation in Madison Garden Although the performance was very popular, it was incomparable to the sensation of "Youth Edition Peony Pavilion" some time ago."

"What?" Boss Ma didn't believe it, "Is this pop culture?"

Zhou Buqi said with a smile: "From the perspective of mass communication, of course Girls' Generation is more famous and has a wider audience. But you also said that this is pop culture. Are you willing to participate in pop culture? In the high society of New York , that is, "The Peony Pavilion of Youth Edition" is more popular."

Boss Ma nodded, "When I was a tour guide by the West Lake and learned English, those foreigners were most interested in Peking Opera, and of course Kunqu Opera."

Zhou Buqi said: "It's a pity, the current Beijing opera is supported by the state's finances, and has completely lost the ability to be self-sufficient. It costs several million to arrange a new play. It was put on hold, and the classic traditional repertoire was finally performed.”

Boss Ma laughed and said, "Are you really interested in traditional drama?"

Zhou Buqi said: ""The Peony Pavilion of Youth" is the best example. Originally, Kunqu opera could not survive, let alone touring abroad, no one watched it in China, and tickets could not be sold in theaters at all. It’s not that the performance is not good, but that the old form is no longer good. Just like cross talk, it almost died a few years ago, so it can only be supported by state funds, and then a Deyun Society came out. "

Boss Ma shook his head, "This matter is not easy to handle. There have been major incidents in the past few years."

"what happened?"

"It is estimated that it was also influenced by "The Peony Pavilion of Youth" and some modern western theater performances. Many theater troupes appeared to revise Peking Opera, making it... just like Shakespeare Shakespeare in Las Vegas. of."

"Uh……"

Zhou Buqi went to Las Vegas to watch the big show.

Some big shows are really world-class, so shocking that you can't take your breath away.

Some big shows are purely eye-catching, and there are even nude plays, that is, actors and actresses perform serious dramas with naked bodies.

Many people have a curiosity-seeking mentality, so they will watch it.

Well, the casino is a place where people get drunk and dream of death.

Boss Ma went on to say: "I don't know much about other things. I know too much about Peking Opera. A few years ago, in order to attract box office, I produced electronic Beijing opera, and what kind of bikini Peking opera. Then it was quickly stopped and I couldn't take it." The quintessential joke."

Zhou Buqi laughed and said: "I want to promote traditional art in a serious way, not to engage in those nonsense things. "Youth Edition Peony Pavilion" is very good. I heard that the domestic tour is full of seats. It is not comparable to other Kunqu operas."

Boss Ma deeply agrees, "Art, while inheriting the tradition, must also keep pace with the times."

Zhou Buqi said: "That's right, Mei Lanfang's Peking opera is not the same as the Peking opera of the Qing Dynasty, and it has its own school with changes. The current domestic drama industry is still too obsessed with tradition. Not to mention anything else, in the old society, women were not allowed to go on stage, so men had to dress up as women on stage, why is it necessary in modern society? There is also the choice of actors. In ancient times, there were too few troupes and insufficient conditions , can only rely on heavy makeup and props to cover up the appearance of actors, so that a 60-year-old can play a 20-year-old, and a 20-year-old can play a 60-year-old, all of which are multi-purpose, which is the characteristic of the times. Now There are so many theater actors, and some old artists are allowed to stand up and play young people. How can this be adhering to tradition? This is scripted. Look at "Dream of Red Mansions", the Jia family has power and conditions, who would support an old theater troupe? No They are all buying young boys and girls. Everyone likes to watch young people perform, and it has been like this throughout the ages."

Boss Ma’s family is in the Peking Opera circle, so he can’t say much about it, “Everyone has their own reasons, and young actors still lack performance experience.”

Zhou Buqi said: "A very important factor for the success of "The Peony Pavilion" is that young people play young people, and old people play old people. Instead of old people playing old people, old people playing young people as in the past. When making a film or TV series, everyone knows that choosing handsome men and women as the protagonists will have more market appeal."

Then, he stretched out his hand and pointed to the girlish girls who were twisting their waists and shaking their buttocks in front of them.

So young, so beautiful... Can you not be popular?
Even if they are not good at singing, if they have to lip-synch, the market can take a tolerant attitude towards them.

Boss Ma was silent for a long time, and then slowly said: "Let's start with the more fringe operas, such as Kunqu opera and Yue opera, and start with the more open southern operas. Don't touch Peking opera, it's too involved, isn't it It’s as simple as opening a theater and talking about cross talk.”

Then, the two sides had a lunch on board.

Zhou Buqi also took out a small gift prepared in advance, each with a Cartier crystal bracelet, and gave it to every member of Girls' Generation.

Come here to perform, but there is no labor fee.

Send a small gift to express your heart.

Zhou Buqi even let them go around the sea on a yacht to play for a while, while he left by helicopter with Boss Ma and went to San Jose to meet Sun Zhengyi.

Boss Ma remembered something, and said, "By the way, have you prepared the funds yet?"

Zhou Buqi said: "No problem!"

Boss Ma said: "Don't be brave, just ask for help."

Zhou Buqi said: "You can help me get Masayoshi Son done, that's enough. The acquisition of Yahoo may cost US$100 billion in cash. If the money is spent, the company's books will be empty."

Boss Ma laughed and said, "So you want to sell the shares of Yahoo Japan to them?"

Zhou Buqi nodded, "Well, part of it."

Boss Ma had a strange expression on his face, "Yang Zhiyuan agrees?"

"What does he disagree with?" Zhou Buqi took it lightly, "I am starting from the interests of the enterprise, not the interests of the management."

"Ha ha!"

Boss Ma thought it was absurd.

The management wants to get control of Yahoo in order to dismember Yahoo, then sell high-quality assets all the way, and then obtain income.

Now Zhou Buqi is about to run Yahoo successfully, and his actions are no different!
Selling Ali's stock back to Ali and Yahoo Japan's stock back to Yahoo Japan is no different from dismemberment.

It's the same dismemberment, but it's done by different people... the effect is really different.

The management went to the knife, heartbroken.

Zhou Buqi went to perform the operation, even if the body was divided by five horses, it seemed quite comfortable.

Zhou Buqi said: "I think this is also due to Yang Zhiyuan's sense of responsibility. When he controlled Yahoo, Yahoo held a large number of stocks in Yahoo Japan and Alibaba. He can support the entrepreneurial teams of the two companies without making trouble. Wait for him Losing the control of Yahoo, Yahoo has become a key power risk for Ali and Yahoo Japan. Therefore, he must solve this problem and not affect the future development of Ali and Yahoo Japan because of himself.”

Boss Ma smiled, "It should be like this. He asked you to contact Masayoshi Son, which is probably what he meant. He didn't want you to own too many shares of Yahoo Japan and limit them in the future."

Zhou Buqi said: "Lao Yang is a good man, no wonder he was kicked out of the house. It's just that the methods are not as good as Lao Zhang's, and it's almost meaningless."
