this man is not calm

Chapter 181

Regarding practical difficulties and future plans, Mei Yingnian and Jin Shang talked a lot.

In fact, the troubles they are currently encountering are similar. Mei Yingnian is involved in commercial real estate and finance as a shipping magnate, and has encountered considerable resistance.

For Jin Shang to find gold in the wild Internet field, the difficulty is no less difficult than that of Mei Yingnian who ventured overseas more than 20 years ago. Although he is now the leading pioneer in the country and has a reputation around the world, he is limited by the small size of the industry. , very influential.

It takes time, this is a common hurdle.

After drinking a few cups of tea and exchanging ideas, the four of them returned to the booth.

Mei Fengchun's live singing experience has ended, and she is drinking juice to soothe her throat.

"I was exhausted, and I felt a little at a loss at first. The stage was too big, and I always felt like everyone was staring at me, which made me a little uncomfortable. But I got better after that."

The little cousin's stage style has not been established yet, her singing level is not bad, but her ability to mobilize the atmosphere of the scene is poor.

Overall, it’s quite satisfactory!

Dai Yiqin, who has rich experience in performing on stage, taught her experience in a low voice.

Later, Jin Shang changed the topic and asked Nan Dabiao:
"I have already explained that for the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" crew, Brother Dai will directly enter the third round of selection. The auditions, preliminary auditions, casting directors and other levels are for outsiders to see. After that, it depends on the preparations. , do you have real skills in your hands? At that point, the executive director and chief director have a great say, and there are many connections, but... even they may not have the final say, there are still people watching from above. I can do it , that is, to prevent our people from being bullied..."

"This is enough!"

Nan Dabiao was very happy.
"Xiao Dai is not bad at it. His horse riding skills are impressive. He has also trained spearmanship with someone. He is definitely good at it. He is not just a faggot."

"That's good! Specifically, I don't want to interfere too much. I only coordinate with the chief director and producer in general, and work as an original writer and art consultant. In the end, it's just behind-the-scenes work, and I don't actually participate in the filming. I'm relatively detached, and I don't have time. …”

The conversation changed and Jin Shang continued to ask,
"Zhao Yun or Zhou Yu, which one did you choose?"

"Zhao Yun! Zhou Yu appeared too late, and his highlight performance was concentrated in the battle of Chibi, and he left too early! We are going to focus on taking the role of Zhao Yun. As for Zhou Yu, we will use him as a bargaining chip to exchange resources with our colleagues..."

"Okay, I won't be involved in the specific operation! White horse and silver gun Zhao Zilong..."

After thinking for a moment, Jin Shang said,

"This character is quite popular, and some of the classic stories can be made into movies. It's just... the cost of costume dramas is extremely high, and we can start filming when we have more money, but we can't delay it for too long. When the Three Kingdoms Film and Television City is built, we will put it on." Schedule it!”

"Movie?"

Not only the Nan brothers, but also Dai Yiqin, Mei Wenhui and others are interested.

Facing everyone's gaze, Jin Shang responded:
"Zhao Yun is almost the most perfect victorious general in the Three Kingdoms at the end of the Han Dynasty. He entered and exited the Changban Slope seven times, rode a savior alone, defeated the Cao Cao in the Han River, and the image of a loyal and righteous Confucian general with both civil and military skills is so deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. I will shoot three or four series Movies are not a problem, as long as you have money..."

If Dai Yiqin is linked to the image of the famous historical general Zhao Yun, the benefits are obvious.

It's normal to sing and act well, not to mention that before her semi-retirement, Dai Yiqin was originally a star who developed in film, television, singing, and singing. Although she didn't have a popular masterpiece or artistic image, she was not a newcomer to the industry after all.

"I would also like to thank Xiaojin for helping with the planning..."

Dai Yiqin couldn't help but feel happy. He made money quickly by singing and had fewer disputes. After all, his image was not as three-dimensional as that of a movie star. It would be great if he could really use Zhao Yun's image to further his career.

"It's good for everyone! Brother Dai should work hard on his acting skills and perform this role well. As for the competitors, from what I know so far, there is no big threat..."

After a pause, Jin Shang continued:
"Not long after, our company has a novel, comic and animation linkage project called "Jiuding War". It is likely to follow up the game development in the later stage. Zhao Yun is one of the core protagonists. The comic script has been almost worked out, and it is far from actual production. Serialization is only one step away. The animation production is entrusted to the American Film Studio team, with quality assurance and worry-free release. By the way, speaking of this..."

Mei Fengchun, who was looking at Jin Shang's discussions with others in an indifferent manner with an attitude that the matter was not his own, couldn't help but asked strangely when his eyes were on her:

"What's wrong with me?"

"For your image rights, I will need to sign a licensing agreement with you later."

"What is it used for?"

"Electronic games!"

Jin Shang explained,
"The company has developed a battle game with the same story background as "Jiuding War", and the name is "King of Fighting". The first phase will be promoted with three groups of nine people to test the water. If the effect is good , a series of games will be released. I plan to borrow your image to customize a fighter girl who is a big star on the surface but a superpower behind the scenes. Your master is an old-school hermit master who is proficient in drunken fist. You also There is a senior brother who portrays himself as a rich man who ran away from home. His dream is to become a master of comedy performance. He worries all day long about not being able to find opportunities to become famous. He is worried that if his acting career fails, he will have to go home and inherit his vast wealth. The miserable and rotten days of eating, drinking, having fun, spending money like water, drinking pools and meat forests..."

"These days, I also want to 'decay', just to experience life..."

Listening to Jin Shang's interesting words, cousin Mei Wenhui couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"It seems interesting. Why do you want to do this?"

"Part of the cultural and creative strategy is to cast stones first to find the way..."

Jin Shang chuckled and responded casually.

Mei Fengchun didn't think there was anything big about this. As for portrait rights, the little girl actually didn't value them.

"Console games, I feel like there have been a lot of closures in the past few years. In the past few years, they have grown wildly and there are too many manufacturers swarming in. However, the market is also big. Three years ago, Hui Hui clamored for his parents to buy a VENUS..."

"This is Venus, who is also the goddess of beauty in Roman mythology. It is said that the equipment is okay, but the games it carries are hard to describe."

Speaking of this matter, Jin Shangke has the right to speak.

"Competition in this industry is now very strong. Hardware cannot widen the gap. The competition is about game quality and marketing level. This Venus console company made a strategic mistake and did not pay attention to game design. It was almost hollowed out by its peers, and then it failed. Hong Renquan is looking for a mobile phone OEM, and the parent company of the Venus host is one of the candidates..."

Things are not complicated. This company, whose main business is household appliances and consumer electronics, seems not very optimistic about the prospects of the video game industry. The new generation of consoles that were halfway through development has also been suspended.

When Beichuan Electromechanical cooperated with them in the past, it provided a lot of support for electronic components. As a result, the other party's management was not good and it was a bit difficult to settle the payment.

To be honest, Beichuan Electromechanical's operations are not so bad that it will go bankrupt. The key is that the account terms of several major customers are too long and recovery is difficult, resulting in very tight cash flow.

The economic environment is like this, and many industries are like this. If one company falls, many manufacturers upstream and downstream of the supply chain will be dragged down.

When discussing mobile phone OEM cooperation, this branch, which specializes in arcade card sales, game consoles, new machine development (currently paralyzed), game design (empty shelves) and other businesses, used a large discount to offset the arrears of payment. , the remaining unsettled debts will be negotiated on the basis of OEM fee reduction and exemption.

Originally, Hong Renquan's intention was to package this popular game branch and resell it to make a profit on the price difference.Selling is not impossible, but selling in such a way that is not far from bankruptcy is a bit of a loss.

This game company does not have a particularly big problem, but it does not have high-quality games to choose from, and its design creativity is greatly lacking, which leads to serious unsalable consoles and cassettes.

Therefore, after Jin Shang learned of the situation, he asked Hong Renquan to make arrangements and sent an application to Jinxi Culture for commissioned game development.

The listed parent company does not have game design capabilities, but Jinxi Culture does. Although it is mainly concentrated in the PC field, it is not difficult to transplant it across platforms.

The porting of the "Three Kingdoms" game is in full swing, and the development of "The King of Fighters" is also on the right track.

This thing had a development plan before Jin Shang took over Beichuan Electromechanical. Now it is just being rolled out and pushed forward, so the speed is naturally very fast.

First, look through a few high-quality games from the inventory, and give the Venus console a "forced injection". After rescuing it, the next step is to consider whether to split it up and sell it, or continue to operate it.

"Besides, the money from listed companies is not wasted!"

After explaining for a long time, Jin Shang relaxedly spread his hands and explained to Mei Fengchun,
"Even if you don't use the image rights fee, the most you can do is change your image and settings. The more famous you are, the better the advertising effect will be. You can't stop promoting it. It's a prototype of a popular game image. This is a good gimmick."

"Is this a win-win situation? I've earned fame, but I still have to take your money?"

Jin Shang has said the joke about winning twice, and Mei Fengchun has also learned this joke.

Jin Shang stretched out his index finger and shook it:
"It's not my money, it's the money of investors in listed companies. How many shareholders have racked their brains in order to transfer money from public accounts to private accounts, and are still afraid of being investigated. This is an honest business transaction, and we earn a lot of money. It's justifiable. Don't be embarrassed. The single album share and advertising fee are low for accounting purposes. However, you can't suffer a loss. This is a way to supplement you."

“The wool comes from the cow and the pig pays for it, right?”

Mei Fengchun, who had a certain understanding of Jin Shang's style, laughed angrily,

"Before, I thought business people had dirty hearts, but I didn't expect you to be even darker."

"This is called Internet thinking. You first lure customers over, then bargain with investors, and then find another company to take over."

Jin Shang didn’t care about the private jokes. The secret to the success of a major IT company is to find business opportunities that others don’t understand through trial and error, take advantage of poor information, occupy the entire ‘track’, and go their own way , leaving others with nowhere to go.

Winner takes all is the most typical feature of this industry.

Between talking and laughing, time passed quickly. It was getting late. Everyone went back to their homes and prepared to rest.
-
In just over two days, the first concert will begin.

After checking the stage layout, Jin Shang came to the youth training base next door and saw the young players who had finished their vacation and were fighting in groups.

Yan Xiaohong and captain Pasang Tsering were talking on the sidelines. Only after Jin Shang approached did they realize that someone was coming.

"President Xiao Jin..."

Yan Xiaohong greeted warmly, and Jin Shang responded, nodding to the captain who smiled reservedly.

Lao Jin went to attend the regular meeting before the start of the second half of the league, and there probably wasn't any great new news.

"When will the first team be in place? Next Friday, we will have two days to adapt and play a warm-up match..."

"Charity match!"

"Yes, yes, a free competition!"

Yan Xiaohong chuckled,
"Although all the tickets and sponsorship money were donated, the sales of peripherals can be regarded as a small supplement. The loss is not much, and the reputation has increased. Overall, it is a good deal!"

"You can't say that to the outside world!"

Jin Shang patted the slightly older one on the shoulder, and then asked Pasang Tsering,

"Which one is Ejima?"

Following the direction of the captain's finger, Jin Shang saw a man about 20 years old with short hair and a face with some traces of ethnic minorities.

"Looks quite energetic, a bit unruly!"

"Yes! I'm relatively familiar with the elders in my family. We go back several generations and there seems to be some kinship."

Pasang Tsering responded very pertinently,

"I hugged him when he was a child. He was a very nice young man. When he grew up, he followed a group of gangsters around, causing trouble, riding horses, archery, and disco skating. Later, he became obsessed with motorcycles. He often went out to race, and occasionally got into fights. , the bruise and swollen face came back..."

"Young man!"

"There aren't many entertainments on the grassland! His family was afraid that something would happen to him. Seeing that he liked playing football, they sent him to training through connections. Later he found me..."

In fact, there are not one or two such examples. Aijima is lucky. She is talented enough to play football, and she can also find a relationship with Basang Tsering.

After watching carefully for a while, Jin Shang discovered that Ajima's wild ball characteristics are very star-like, but she is also very spiritual and has good adaptability. She seems to have been given guidance in advance, and she has a good understanding of the characteristics of her teammates, and she can barely cooperate with him.

With a special perspective, Jin Shang aimed at Aijima. From the insight provided by the "Gold Finger" spirituality, it can be clearly seen that there is a strong golden air mass hovering above Aijima's head, swaying like an eagle spreading its wings, like an eagle spreading its wings. The cheetah is galloping and doesn't look very solid.

"The talent is pretty good, but it's not ready yet. It's hard to say how much it can be realized. 』

As Jin Shang's career progresses, the special ability of "Golden Broom" becomes more and more acute. In the past, he could only vaguely see the level of strength and potential, but now he can more accurately perceive the characteristics of the person being mastered.

For example, in the rich red air above Pasang Tsering, lurking is a caracal cat that is ready to attack. It looks old, but its claws are still sharp, its eyes are still sharp, and it feels like it is ready to pounce.

Next to Yan Xiaohong, the reddish-brown energy mass gathered into a big-eyed night owl that turned its head in the night, its eyes rolling around, vigilantly observing the surrounding movements.

"You've grown up!" 』

This is a rare person of the same age who had a little friendship with Jin Shang when he was young. He became acquainted with football, because they are busy with their own affairs, they don't get along much, and they still have a little common language.
