this man is not calm

Chapter 191 Steady
"It's easy to do!"

Kim Sang casually responded,

"Use the investment platter to fool laymen..."

"The kind used by foreigners?"

Nan Dalong was a little hesitant.
"The risk is a bit high, and I'm worried that the source of funds is not safe!"

There is no need to explain too much. Everyone knows how to turn dirty money into clean money. There are too many ways to invest in opaque film and television dramas.

"How did you solve it last time?"

Jin Shang said nonchalantly,
"Whose money is being cheated? Isn't it cheating? We are doing serious business and we are inseparable from illegal activities. As for the problems of partners and investors themselves, just leave them to specialized people to deal with."

Often walking by the river, how can there not be wet shoes?
What's more, it's a quagmire to begin with, and it's not easy to keep clean. Why worry about so much!
In the view of the Nan brothers, opening a film and television company is just a business and is not responsible for rectifying the order of the industry.

It's already difficult to protect yourself wisely, don't think about it more.

"Ah Shang, this industry is different from the Internet you are in. Some people are stupid and rich in venture capital. When making movies, in addition to support from above and special industry funds, serious people who invest money in this industry will have a lot of money in their family." Neither can afford to lose."

"Then why did you and your brother rush in?"

Smiling reservedly, Jin Shang teased with a smile,
"It can't be for feelings and dreams!"

"What you're saying is that investors don't make money, and even film and television companies don't make money on the table. However, that doesn't mean that practitioners don't make money! They are all natives of the capital. It would be meaningless for you to use this to run against your uncle."

"Just kidding!"

After looking at Nan Dalong who was pretending to be angry for a few times, Jin Shang took out a breath and said slowly,
“In some industries, it is impossible to measure value in terms of profit and industry scale, such as film and television media, sports and football, which are not worth mentioning compared with commercial real estate, port logistics, cultural publishing, etc., but this does not mean that they are not important. ."

When an industry takes off, whether it's media culture or film, television and football, it doesn't play a big role. For a long time, it's just a loser. But once it becomes famous, the amount of wealth can no longer determine whether one's status is high or low. , these seem to be closely related to the general public, but in fact the threshold is quite high, and the average person cannot afford to enter the industry, which has become the key to widening the gap in social status.

This is like the comparison between parents and children. Piano, guitar, violin, dance, music, horse riding, paragliding, etc., they are raising the standard step by step. During the summer vacation, those who travel within the city cannot compare with those who travel outside the province, and those who travel outside the province Not classy enough for traveling abroad.

In ancient times, there was a saying that was very appropriate.

The punishment cannot be extended to the officials, and the law cannot be extended to the common people!
Noble people should play elegant arts that ordinary people cannot play, otherwise how can they flaunt themselves as unique?

Even if they have no actual value, it is enough that they can widen the gap between them and ordinary people.

On a larger scale, this is still part of the cultural strategy, and its importance cannot be overstated.

After saying a few jokes, Jin Shang calmed down his emotions and said seriously:
"These days, the industry environment is like this. There is no need to count on those so-called artists who are so arrogant. We can't afford them. You can't always ask me to go to the seniors in the cultural field to talk to you and pay them back once or twice. Okay, if there are too many, the favor will fade away. As for the so-called new wave, this faction and that faction, young leaders, just ignore them..."

"I understand, they are just some scammers who use so-called art that they don't understand to trick laypeople into paying for it."

The Nan brothers and Jin Shang are both outsiders and have a thorough understanding of these people. They both need to deceive the sponsors into paying for their dreams, so they have no time to "help" those inexplicable guys.

"By the way, how much was the box office for the first part of "The Big Era"?"

"Thirty-five million. None of the films released at the same time can hit the box office. It is expected to have a box office of 500 million to 800 million."

"not bad!"

Jin Shang, who understood, said with great relief,

"The first shot of the company has been fired, and things will be easier to handle later on. The successful experience must be maintained and carried forward. We have already grabbed a trump card for stars in film, television, singing, and singing. What is missing now is an experienced director who can work in literary and artistic films." Let’s look for newcomers from small commercial film productions. If you can’t find them outside, cultivate them yourself…”

"But, isn't it too slow? Besides, it's a waste of money. Why not find a famous director and poach him and put it to use directly."

"Have a goal?"

"no!"

"Let's work on both sides! We need to recruit talents from outside, and don't neglect our own direct lineage!"

"What about the subject matter? The first part of the "Big Era" trilogy was an instant hit, and the last two parts will not be much worse. The trouble is the subsequent arrangements. If there is no project, people in the company will have nothing to do. .With so many employees up and down, there is always something to do.”

"That's it!"

Nan Xiaobiao's words are somewhat true. A film and television company cannot expect to conquer the world with a series of movies. It must have a steady stream of "hot meat and potatoes" to attract outside investors to spend money.

Whether the source of funds is clean is only a small issue.

Insiders take money from outsiders. This happens in many fields, not just film and television media. If you do it, you will get it. It’s not a big problem, but if you don’t let people make money, no one will play with you next time.

In layman's terms, an investor paid 1000 million and could earn 300 million through normal settlement. However, he was tricked into only earning 150 million, or even less than 100 million. This is understandable, but if he directly made a huge amount of money, If you lose money, even if it happens again and again, if you look too ugly, there will be no future.

After thinking for a while, Jin Shang suggested:
"This industry is very unstable, and I can't think of many good and sure solutions. The only thing I can do is pursue success..."

"What do you mean?"

"Adaptation of a mature work! Think about it, apart from good marketing, what else deserves recognition for the success of "The Big Era"?"

After Nan Dalong thought for a while, he suddenly realized.

“The notes and prose published by Mrs.

"Yes! We don't know what movies fans will like in the future, but we can infer what themes the general public is interested in based on past popular works."

"I understand! Buy popular novels and adapt them into movies and TV series, or even make direct sequels."

Children can be taught!

After looking at Nan Dalong's reaction with satisfaction, Jin Shang responded happily:
"When you don't know the direction and have no clue, choosing a subject matter that has been tested by the market is the least bad choice. Our Changdi Culture has actually established a firm foothold, so we don't have to go all out and make movies with our own money like before. ”

"Also, famous novels have a very wide audience. As long as you put together a not too bad plan to deceive investors, it can be more targeted. It is better than using an inexplicable script, a bad director and an actor with no reputation as a gimmick. Much stronger..."

I have to say that Nanda Long is in the right profession. As soon as Jin Shang starts talking, he will always answer questions and draw inferences.

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that this method was good, and he let go of his slightly worried mind.

"I'll discuss it with Da Biao when I get back, and ask someone to investigate the best-selling novels on the market, and then screen them first, and then let the screenwriter write the script. I know you are busy, so I won't trouble you with trivial matters. However, when the project is finalized, I need you to check it. Among us, you are the most educated, and the others...don’t mention it!"

Not only is his academic qualifications high, but the several projects he has hosted have also received good responses.

"Next time when a project is launched, I will give you the title of producer and consultant. Also, when you have some free time, go to the company for a visit. After all, you are also the major shareholder and art planner. Even the new people in the company almost don't recognize you."

"All right!"

Jin Shang reluctantly nodded,

"I'll accept this! After I finish handling the concert matters, the listed company is also going to make an appearance. When I'm done, I'll go and have a look." After finishing the business, Nan Dalong talked to Jin Shang again. After talking about how to imitate foreign film and television companies, form investment platters, and share risks, he returned to the stand with satisfaction.

The rest of the day was a bit lackluster, no different from yesterday.

However, as the live TV station joins the music channel, its influence has indeed increased a lot.

If nothing else, the feedback from "Golden Broom" is very gratifying.

After nearly three hours of performance, the audience began to leave one after another. Jin Shang directed people to pack things and clean up in preparation for the last performance tomorrow.

After I got home, I watched TV for a while and was sitting on the sofa reading a book to pass the time. The phone rang and it was Li Xuan who came to greet me.

"Have you closed the house?"

During the casual chat, the other party suddenly mentioned this matter. He realized that the decoration had been completed in the past week or two, but he did not expect that it would be today and tomorrow.

After entrusting the matter to a specialized team, Jin Shangdu ignored the matter and suddenly received good news.

It has been "consecrated", cleaned, dusted and odor removed, water, electricity, coal, TV signals, and the Internet are connected.

Just waiting for Jin Shang and Li Xuan to move over.

"You've been too busy these days, so I didn't call you for such a trivial matter! By the way, there's a CPA exam tomorrow, do you remember?"

"Uh?"

Is it tomorrow?

Jin Shang had almost forgotten it if Li Xuan had not mentioned it.

I had read the book seriously for a period of time before, and I felt that it was not a big problem, so I put it down.

"Are you sure? If not, continue next year. There are too many exam contents and subjects, so don't force it."

From Jin Shang's tone, Li Xuan understood that her boyfriend had not reviewed for a while.

"rest assured!"

Men with the blessing of "gold fingers" are so confident.

"Then...okay! Come up tomorrow and I'll go directly to the examination room. Don't be late!"

After greeting each other a few more times and hanging up the phone, Jin Shang couldn't help but sigh.

Research and other things are not really important to Jin Shang, but if you have time, it would be a good thing to get it. Maybe you will use it sometime.

Since you have to get up early tomorrow, let's go to bed early.

After a good sleep, Jin Shang exercised early. After breakfast, he drove to the examination center. He greeted Li Xuan, who was late and looked tired, and then entered the examination room separately.

After nearly a day of busy work, Jin Shang and Li Xuan rushed to the stadium to direct the arrangements for the last day of the concert.

During this period, Jin Shi also took the time to help, and Jin Shang was able to practice the song "Rarely Seen" on stage today with his cousin Mei Fengchun.

Judging from the current trend of popular songs in China, "Rarely Seen" is quite alternative.

Since its release, the single has sold reasonably well, but the reviews have been polarizing.

It wasn't until the Little Mazza Band came on stage to sing that many people had a change of heart about the song.

This kind of song is not a song that you can just put on the record player and listen to slowly while having nothing to do. Like "The First Day" and "The Specter", it is obviously a live performance type of fast-paced music.

It does have an excellent effect in mobilizing the atmosphere.

Dancing to the rhythm and melody on the stage, even Mei Fengchun, who is not good at performing, was infected.

Immersed in it, Mei Fengchun realized for the first time how refreshing it is to vent your smile and mood freely in front of tens of thousands of people.

However, after coming off the field, Mei Fengchun, who realized what she had done, couldn't help but blush with embarrassment.

"It's not much anymore. It's better than the day before yesterday when my legs were so weak that I couldn't stand up."

"Who can't stand up!"

Facing Fang Hua's smiling eyes, Mei Fengchun retorted angrily,
"I was tired and couldn't stand up for a while!"

"Yes, yes! You are amazing..."

Fang Hua didn't refute, he spoke perfunctorily, and then asked Jin Shang who put down his guitar and was about to pack up and leave,
"Your guitar is getting better and better, and its level is rising at a speed visible to the naked eye. I haven't seen how you practice, how do you do it?"

Tonight's "Rare to See" is much more difficult than "The First Day", especially for guitarists. The complexity of composing the song has increased significantly. Due to the characteristics of the song, the lead singer cannot take into account the rhythm. The lead guitar not only needs to bring the rhythm, but also You have to step on the drums and match the bass.

In addition, live singing is prone to mistakes, especially the lead singer, who needs an electric guitar to save the scene and pull back the "derailed" melody.

"Xiao Chunzi let herself go all of a sudden, and I was scared. The drum kit can't do anything, and the bass in the accompaniment tape is even more powerless. I can only rely on you SOLO to save the day..."

Jin Shang smiled and said calmly:

"This song is actually quite difficult, especially for live performances. I also thought about doing it myself, but it was okay. I was a support singer anyway. It doesn't matter if I get kicked off the stage. They are a young band! Fortunately, it was completed smoothly... …”

"It's my fault, didn't you say you should let go and be more wanton?"

The tough-tongued Mei Fengchun said unconvincingly, Fang Hua laughed and made a fuss with his friends, while Jin Shang rested for a while and then returned to the main control stand. After greeting the staff, he checked again. I felt relieved when no problem was found.

On the third day, the venue was still very popular, but outside the venue it was not as good as the previous two days, with nearly one-third fewer people.

This is also normal. Tourists who can afford tickets and are willing to come to watch have basically seen it. There is a limit to locals’ support. If you can’t buy tickets, you don’t force it. There is a live broadcast on TV and interactive comments online.

Over the three nights of the weekend, more than 15 people bought tickets to enter the venue. At this time, it is estimated that it will be difficult to find another singer with such appeal in China.

In just these three days, the total number of registered accounts on Jinxi has exceeded [-]. On weekend nights, there are over [-] active users. This seemingly inconspicuous data makes Jin Shang overjoyed.

In addition to the official communication group and the services provided by Jinxi Game Platform, the average number of friends of users exceeds fifteen.

The most rare thing is that from the information obtained by the operators, the proportion of new users downloading the chat software Jinxi is extremely high.

"Wait a moment, soon, social moat..."
