this man is not calm

Chapter 205
It is also a good thing to let the newcomers under your command who are not capable enough to do "big things" find something to do and become familiar with them. The Nan brothers have no reason to refuse.

"Has the director been found?"

"Not yet, but I'm going to find someone new."

"Are the newbies in control? Don't screw it up."

Jin Shang also thought about Nan Dabiao's worries, but it was not a big problem.

"The new director is timid and lacks confidence, so he doesn't dare to mess around. He just follows the script and is done. It's not an art blockbuster, just a sitcom to gain attention and exposure. He needs to find a few more sponsors before filming. To get back to our roots, it doesn’t matter if it’s not popular, but it’s an unexpected surprise if it’s popular.”

Nandalong peeled an tangerine, broke it open, stuffed a piece into his mouth, and asked while chewing:
"Have you never thought about taking control yourself? Among us, you are the most discerning, and you still hope to create another generation of classics?"

"speak politely."

Nan Dabiao glanced at his frivolous brother and said to Jin Shang:
"Xiao Biao's words are too utilitarian, but there is some truth in them. This circle is a very crazy field that pursues success. Because there are no hard standards and there are too many accidental factors, it is a bit superstitious. Even if the project does not lose money, the project Failure will also dampen the enthusiasm of investors..."

"I know."

Jin Shang explained straightforwardly,
"Except for the important projects that I directly lead, I am ready to leave the rest to others. I will only act as an insurance gate to prevent major risks."

"Why? Busy?"

Shaking his head with a wry smile, Jin Shang replied:
"You're not down to earth, Uncle Da Biao. My background, in ancient times, would have been considered a poor one, a descendant of an aristocratic family with a declining family. But most of the audience for our products are from Guizhou Province who can't even stand up to their family lintel. In the past, when the company was newly opened, I would often serve as a pusher and courier to experience the work and life of grassroots employees, but I was afraid that I would not be able to see their true appearance from standing too high."

In this life, Jin Shang's background is not considered top-notch, at least he is an above-average choice.

In my previous life, my family background was average, and I could be considered to have experienced a lot of hard work among the people. However, in my two lives, my cultural background and actual situation were quite different.

"I feel very guilty! I can only judge some obvious 'big thunders' from the social level, psychological level and communication field. What do ordinary people like and pursue nowadays? What I have come up with is Whether it tastes good or not, only God knows.”

Not to mention the huge differences between the two worlds, even if it is one or two years apart, the situation is very different.

Many popular old movies and songs were tepid when they were first released, or even suffered huge losses. However, after a few years, many of them are regarded as classics.

There are so many time-tested works in the previous life, and the quality is definitely not bad, and they may not be accepted by the common people in this life. Jin Shang, who usually takes care of everything and seems confident and calm, is actually not so sure.

After hearing the explanation, Nan Dabiao was stunned for a moment, and then he quickly came to his senses.

"I forgot that you are just a playboy who has just grown up."

"I'm afraid that I will really become that kind of idiot who is arrogant and thinks only about 'why not eat minced meat'."

Jin Shang explained seriously,
"Before the college entrance examination, I criticized Lu Liao's words on a TV show, and it actually applies to me. We are 'sheep herders,' and we keep saying that we understand the pain of 'cutting firewood' and pretending to be full of empathy. In fact, It's too arrogant. Whether it is my Jinxi culture or Chang Di culture, we need to add some fresh blood from time to time, otherwise..."

The words were not fully spoken, but the meaning was expressed clearly.

Everyone here is now almost a "human master" who looks down on all living beings. Even though they have had hard times before, they are now out of touch with the grassroots.

Carving a boat and seeking a sword is not only an idiom, a story, and a fable, it spurs Jin Shang every moment not to think that he has really secured his position as an opinion leader among young people when he is not yet 20 years old.

Interfering too frequently with the work of film and television drama creators will be a disservice.

If it weren’t for the large amount of memories of past lives’ experiences and lessons in my mind, I wouldn’t be able to play with the genius character design of a talented man or a beautiful lady.

For specific matters, Jin Shang just puts forward requirements, draws boundaries, sets goals, and lets people complete them.

More often, Jin Shang exercises his veto power and selects the most reasonable one from a series of suggestions from his subordinates.

"Use the power of "golden fingers" to give full play to the role of the team and avoid adverse consequences caused by bias and insistence to the greatest extent.Doing this can also reduce my own stress and prevent me from falling into a vicious cycle of getting busier and more chaotic, and getting more chaotic and busier. 』

After getting in touch with his cousin Mei Yingnian, Jin Shang's biggest gain was not to find a solid ally, but to learn from him how to be a successful entrepreneur instead of being burdened by the status of "boss".

Enterprises are tools for entrepreneurs to realize their ideals and ambitions, rather than slaves that are coerced and dragged down by them.

Everyone talked for a while about the current situation of the film and television industry, and they were all sighing.

Today, the domestic film and television drama production market has not been completely liberalized, and there are still some unclear gray areas in distribution channels.

In principle, private enterprises cannot shoot movies and TV series, nor can they operate cinemas and video halls.

There are many non-public projection institutions on the market today, and they are all the products of marginal projects.

If the Nan brothers hadn't come from a good background and found a few backstage endorsements to scratch their qualifications, they still wouldn't be able to open a film and television company.

The liberalization of many policies in this and the previous life actually relied on the promotion of an international event, which was the establishment and operation of the World Trade Organization, as well as the negotiations and commitments to apply for membership.

For example, weekends, private film and television theaters, joint-stock banks, etc.

In the year when I graduated from Jinshang University, I still implemented a five-and-a-half-day rest system. I worked from Monday to Friday, had to go to school on Saturday morning, and had one and a half days off every week.

Some areas even implement a "big and small month" work system, which means one day off per week and an extra day of family leave at the end of every other month.

When people later kept shouting about "integrating with the world", in fact, they had almost forgotten what it was like before.

So far, domestic private film and television entertainment companies are similar to Changdi Culture. They say they want to issue formal licenses, but they have not been able to do so. However, those with connections are rushing away, and the above basically turn a blind eye. Right now, we are just waiting for the policy to be implemented and "corrected".

"Ah Shang, please explain to me. Will that 3D projection technology really become mainstream? I can cope with those hands reaching out to beg for food. However, the theater chain The money spent on upgrading and renovation is gone. Now, with more than 40 large and small cinemas, we can already form one of the top ten private cinema chains in the country."

Originally there were only about two dozen small cinemas. While upgrading and renovating, it has successively acquired more than a dozen cinemas near high-end communities. It focuses on small and beautiful cinemas that are close to the people. It is similar to community theaters. It is small and easy to turn around, flexible and convenient. Popular with residents.

Once you have money, those old and dilapidated theaters will definitely need to be renovated, introduce equipment, especially digital players, purchase 3D equipment, and renovate the theaters, which requires a huge investment.

"Uncle Da Biao, you believe me, it's true. 3D cinemas will definitely not lose money. The development of special effects technology is getting faster and faster. The era of visual blockbusters is coming. 2D photography and projection technology will not be eliminated, but There must be no shortage of 3D cinemas, otherwise, the gap with traditional cinemas will not be widened, and there will be trouble. One step faster, one step faster, and if you are right, don’t be stingy with your investment.”

"Okay, I voted."

Nan Dabiao gritted his teeth and made a decision.

Upgrading and transformation is a must. In one step, we can build a modern digital cinema chain and be in line with the world's mainstream. There will be many benefits in the future.

Movie tickets are so expensive, why should the audience buy tickets to enter the theater?As for how to deal with the details, Jin Shang didn't ask.

Later, Jin Shang asked Dai Yiqin about the casting and filming of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms".

"The filming will start in mid-October at the earliest. Zhao Yun will have more scenes, and they will be scattered..."

"Need to stay on the set for a long time? That would be a big delay."

Dai Yiqin smiled and responded:
"No, I have discussed it with the director and we will focus on shooting..."

"Superstar treatment."

"I definitely don't have this ability myself. Xiao Jin's face is still very useful. In addition, the sports channel also helped to say a few good words. "Come on Champion" has currently filmed three episodes. After the first episode was piloted, The response has been okay, and they’ve been urging me from time to time.”

"understood."

These are all public tasks, and both parties must give face to each other. If we can coordinate with each other, we should try our best to cooperate.

The revision and upgrade of the sports channel is also a major event. The carefully prepared special variety show "Come on Champion" spent a lot of money to invite Dai Yiqin to be the permanent host, just to use his influence to quickly increase the ratings. If you waste time on Crew, that would be troublesome.

Jin Shang thought about it for a while, then nodded and approved the current arrangement.

"Brother Dai is also a shareholder of the company now. If you have any requests, please feel free to ask. By the way, the album release in the second half of the year will be in time, right?"

"It's going relatively smoothly. We're still collecting songs. There are a lot of options and the quality is pretty good. But if there are any outstanding products that catch people's eyes, we have to take a closer look. If we really can't get it, we have to help Xiaojin."

"That's easy to say."

Jin Shang agreed.

Things that can help each other succeed, besides making money, we can take care of both inside and outside, so why not do it?
There are so many classic works from the past life in my mind, most of which I can't sing, and they are not suitable for Mei Fengchun. Rather than selling them to people I don't know, it is better to give Dai Yiqin a cheaper price.

"Brother Luo didn't come. Did he go back to his hometown?"

"Returning home in fine clothes."

Nan Dabiao answered,

"After seven or eight years in the capital, I finally made a name for myself. It would be nice to go back and meet my elders in my hometown."

Because Jin Shang's existence has directly and indirectly changed the fate of many people, which is generally a good thing.

"Speaking of albums, I remembered that our Little Mazar Band's first album "There are melons to eat here, why don't you come and try it?" will be released on September [-]st, less than five days away. Are you ready? "

Mei Fengchun, who had been "competing" with the snacks on the table, finally heard Jin Shang talk about it.

"You finally remembered. I thought you had forgotten."

"How could it be? I'm just too busy, come here."

Mei Fengchun didn't believe such perfunctory words, curled her lips and responded:

"I've been working on the album MV these days. I'm so exhausted. You, the captain, have actually become the boss."

"Those who can do more work."

"Also, your bad name is so stinky and long that it makes people laugh out loud."

"It was originally a hodgepodge album, a combination of the previous singles released by the two of us, and a few new songs. That's it, the name and all."

Jin Shang shrugged nonchalantly and said to Mei Fengchun,

"After this album is released, you should practice your English. In the second half of the year, we will jointly release an all-English album called "Brothers and Sisters Teach You English". In the second half of the year, the second issue of the 'Tonight Challenge Cup' English poetry recitation In competitions, we can use it for publicity and promotion.”

It is impossible to hold competitions in each subject only once. Originally Jin Shang planned to hold them once a quarter, but Editor Zhao and Editor Wang both objected. On the one hand, they are too busy, and too frequent will damage the brand value and be too "cheap". The appeal of competition and winning trophies will be greatly reduced.

After discussion, everyone took a step back and tentatively decided to hold it once every six months and twice a year.

"English album?"

"Why...are you not good at speaking?"

"It's not that it won't work. It's included in the electives. The actual effect is still unknown."

"I see."

Jin Shang waved his hands in understanding and tried his best to practice first. Anyway, this album "Brothers and Sisters Teach You English" and the previous album "There are melons to eat here, why don't you come and have a taste?" 》The focus is different.

There are big differences in singing in different languages. Many people know the joke of "too much". Strictly speaking, the problem is not very serious. It is normal for foreigners to make such mistakes when singing in English. Jackie Chan His English accent is so thick that people can't bear to look at it. It's very obvious in the original soundtrack of the movie. When he sings, it makes people frown. If you have heard the song "rolling in the deep" he sang, you will probably understand. How bad is "formal English"?

Of course, this is an evaluation based on professional standards. For foreign amateur singers, whether it is "trouble" or "formal English", they are all small sections. Generally speaking, both are still above the standard. Much higher than most ticket players.

Measured by the standard of "learning English", we must strive to achieve perfection.

"As for music and lyrics, my Jinxi music player and official website will be launched soon. I will give you a few internal accounts. After logging in, you can view my built-in creations in the background, including complete demos and unwritten originals. The songs are divided into four categories: A, B, C and D. The cooperation standards have been clearly stated. If you like it, please contact the company’s copyright operation department directly. As for the real classics, interview..."

As he spoke, Jin Shang patted the small bag he carried with him. Everyone understood that there was the masterpiece of Jin Shang's "hard work".

Dai Yiqin was most interested in this and couldn't help but ask:

"Can I introduce it to a friend?"

"Of course, we only have these few things to offer. How many albums can we release and how many songs can we sing in a lifetime? We can't just bury these works that I think are slightly inferior in quality, but not that bad. In addition, …”

After a pause, Jin Shang continued,

"If you have good works, you can also upload lyrics and music, find singers and songwriters, and try to promote them on the player. If the quality is really good, we can also help with signing contracts for debut, operation and promotion, business sharing, etc..."
