It is agreed that the 18th line will be top-notch?

Chapter 451: When we are in trouble together, we laugh and watch at the same time

Sincerity, right?

When it's cheap, you say it's high quality and low price, and you're sincere; when it's expensive, you say it's high quality, and you're still sincere.

One muscle becomes blocked at both ends?

Mr. Yang, who was about to take out his notebook to take notes, threw the things in his hands into the trash can.

What else are you taking notes on? Doesn’t the content of this entire video mean "the reason why Kuaiguang Group is successful is that they are too strong"?

After talking so much, it turns out that I have come full circle and come back to the starting point.

"Sure enough, you can't expect to learn any really useful knowledge from these videos."

In fact, Luo Ruyu's concert was a huge success yesterday, and all the high-priced souvenirs in the souvenir shop were sold out. For Luo Ruyu's entire project, it was just a drop in the bucket.

It is impossible to think about how a project that brings together top-notch technologies at home and abroad, and a whole floor filled with equipment with astonishing prices, can make back its money in just one day.

Not to mention the price of the hardware equipment, the price of hiring experts at home and abroad, just the maintenance and cooling of the equipment is an extremely terrifying expense every month.

Because Luo Ruyu is different from some IPs that feature animated characters. Those characters are said to be "virtual artists", but in fact they only appear in various works. They only need to add relevant scenes and signatures to the content of the works.

But Luo Ruyi is completely different. Unless the machine needs to be shut down for maintenance, Luo Ruyi will not only exist in his works, but will have his own schedule, can interact at any time, and is a visible and tangible artist in the true sense.

Even if fans want to, they can spend some time and find all the places with holographic projection equipment in Gimhae City, and they will have the opportunity to meet Luo Ruyu and communicate directly with Luo Ruyu's AI.

This alone makes Luo Ruyan fundamentally different from all other virtual artists.

On the stage, a normal-sized Luo Ruyu's operating expenses per minute can be described as sky-high.

Tickets for a concert, even if the seats are full, and a series of costs such as venue fees, lighting and logistics are deducted, will not make up for the sky-high price of developing Luo Rujiu.

What's more, after the system lowered the limit on charitable funds, if the income from a concert is too high, he can designate the concert as a charity performance and throw all the income into the charity fund.

What worries Mr. Yang the most is never the income from a concert.

But after a successful concert, after proving the feasibility of the project, all kinds of troubles followed.

Boom boom boom!
As soon as I thought this, there was a knock on the office door.

Qi Mu's voice came as expected: "Mr. Yang, do you have time? I have a few projects on hand that I need you to take a look at."

It's broken, it's troublesome!
Every time Qi Mu comes to visit, he must come with big trouble.

Yang Ruoqian made some mental preparations and said, "Is it about Luo Ruyu? Come in."

Qi Mu pushed the door open, put the documents underneath on the table, and opened the first document with ease: "Congratulations to Mr. Yang, yesterday's fan meeting and concert were a great success."

"There's nothing to congratulate, let's get down to business." Yang Ruoqian was already bombarded with congratulations from all walks of life, and he quickly motioned to the secretary to skip the topic, "Is someone going to propose a cooperation project with us?"

Last night, even the foreign partner Ma Ge expressed his unlimited optimism for Luo Ruyan's business prospects. No matter how slow others react, they will definitely react after one night.

As long as it is a company that has not offended the group, who wouldn't want to sign a contract with Party A like Yang Ruoqian?

Qi Mu replied: "There are many. This morning, the operation side has screened out the plans that we think are good according to your previous requirements for similar projects and the successful bidders of similar projects. I will show it to you after reporting the work. Or do you want to see it now?"

Yang Ruoqian was surprised: "Is there any other work to report?"

The eagerness of partners, investors, and advertisers after seeing Luo Rujiao's performance at the concert is Yang Ruoqian's biggest worry - it is not important that the concert makes money, but that the high-priced souvenirs are snapped up by the villains.

The most important thing is that big companies come to send money!

The Kuangguang Group, which wished it could be Party A throwing money at them like crazy, met countless Party A who wanted to throw money at them, just because of this concert!

Although the video blogger just came to the final conclusion of the analysis that the "Kuiguang Group" was too strong, there was one point he made during the analysis.

Luo Ruyan's concert and souvenir sales have greatly expanded the entire audience.

Those consumer groups who are willing to spend hundreds, thousands or even tens of thousands of yuan for a figure and are almost obsessed with virtual characters; those player groups who spend hundreds of thousands to buy games and tens of thousands to buy game props. Because of this concert, it was officially included in the group's audience.

In other words, the cake of Kuaiguang Group has been unknowingly getting bigger again.

After the cake grows big, it will be difficult to make money.

There is no need to even think about it. There must be game developers among the companies that come to the group to cooperate this time.

"Mr. Yang, the operation gave a brief summary of yesterday's events and future development. I thought about it for a while and feel that the future direction may be slightly more important than the current project. Or do you have other ideas?"

In his previous company, Qi Mu would never have said such a thing.

What is the direction of future development? If she said this to her boss, she would definitely be scolded, or thrown into the wastebasket without any attention at all.

Putting the items with the money directly on the table is the best choice.

As for what the company will develop into in the future, since the boss himself doesn't care, employees have no obligation to care either.

For example, among the cooperation invitations received by operations this morning, there were cooperation invitations from several game developers.

The game cooperation invitation with the highest bid was immediately rejected by the operator without any hesitation.

Because this game is similar to a game like "The Greedy King Blue Moon" where disgusting people pop out from every hidden corner when watching pirated videos on pirated websites.

Although the developers of this type of game pay a lot of money, the quality of the games is hard to describe, and the quality and annoyingness of the advertisements have been criticized by many people.

Think about it, Luo Ruyu's image and temperament, suddenly transformed into a bunch of props and costumes of high quality, and said some embarrassing and incompetent lines, it feels like a drama.

No matter how much money is given, both the operation and Qimu believe that there is no value in cooperation. It is better to cooperate with games that already have a reputation or have rave reviews.

Such a company has sufficient technical capabilities and sufficient funds to create a tailor-made image for Luo Rujiao that is loved by game players and passers-by, and hire professional screenwriters to design lines.

Such a company can even launch offline physical game gift packages and sell them jointly with Luo Rujie - in this way, although the money does not seem to be that much, it will not damage Luo Rujie's image, and subsequent operations will be less difficult.

It's much better than paying a lump sum directly, and the IP will be completely ruined.

Operating a good-tempered, dignified and elegant image takes a long time, requires the efforts of everyone in the company, and requires a lot of creativity, but destroying this image can be accomplished simply.

Due to the strong legal team of Kuaiguang Group and the recent situation of teaming up with the legal teams of international IP agencies to defend rights overseas at all costs, these game companies dare not steal Luo Ruyu's image.

But once the contract is signed, they don't have so many worries.

Qi Mu had no intention of telling the operation side how to get rid of the junk projects, so he went straight to the point and said: "Mr. Yang, I think we shouldn't be too anxious about related endorsements and sponsorships."

As soon as Yang Ruoqian heard this, he immediately put on a smile on his face and clapped his hands and said, "Yes, I think so too... After all, Luo Ruqian has just made his debut. As soon as he debuted, he started to receive a lot of advertisements and started to use traffic to make money. What he destroyed was Luo Ruyu’s character. Luo Ruyu is the human body of Kuaiguang Group. This also destroys our company’s photos.”

"I think that no matter what company's endorsement, advertisement or linkage, there is no need to rush it."

"And some companies that pay more attention to quality and have better reputations also need time to make decisions. After careful consideration, they may also send us a cooperation invitation."

"Things like endorsements can be put on hold for the time being. The company will continue to operate Luo Ruzhen's IP and continue to build a good reputation. Are we still worried about not being able to find a better partner in the future?"

Qi Mu smiled and nodded: "Yes, Mr. Yang, the employees on the operations side think so too. They feel that with Luo Ruyan's 'conditions', it is only a matter of time before they want to create a perfect character - —We don’t even need to co-sign with others, Luo Ruyu’s own influence alone is enough to last.”

Yang Ruoqian seemed a little strange: "What are your conditions?"

Aren't you just an airy person? What are your own conditions?
Qi Mu explained: "In terms of singing skills, Luo Ruyu's ability is undoubted and will not be criticized by anyone. The same is true in terms of acting skills. Now, the top priority is actually to release a few more songs that can be called 'classics' ’, or a song that can explode and spread among a certain group of people.”

"You can just decide this kind of thing yourself." Yang Ruoqian was not interested in such details. "Just follow your plan. Don't worry about making money now. There will be plenty of opportunities in the future."

My efforts in "promoting my wealth" to the group's employees for such a long time were not completely in vain.

In the past, they would have signed endorsement contracts with endorsers in accordance with standards.

Although Yang Ruoqian would find ways to filter out these endorsement companies using various criteria and excuses, as long as one fish slips through the net, the impact on the company's financial statements will be extremely terrifying.

It would be great if employees could learn to say no to endorsement deals on their own.

As mentioned later, Mr. Yang didn't even bother to think so much about launching monetization activities step by step after Luo Rujiao's IP was truly stable.

He couldn't even control a project that only lasted a few months. It was pointless to think about what happened next.

"Yes." Qi Mu nodded, and at the same time continued to finish what he said very responsibly, "So many companies can't wait to sign contracts with us. A large part of the reason is that they think that we invested too much in the early stage. Now after being exposed, In urgent need of blood recovery methods.”

"In the eyes of many people, if a project has huge development costs, huge operation and maintenance costs, and no hope of profitability in a short period of time, it is very likely to be axed."

Many company executives want to cut off projects for the sake of financial reporting. In order to keep their jobs, the project teams with budget overruns naturally have to use all means to make money and avoid losing their jobs.

Qi Mu paused and continued: "But according to our internal estimates, Luo Ruyi's subsequent costs will actually no longer be like the almost bottomless pit that burns money like in the development stage."

"All models are fully formed, the group's big data software is very mature, and the cost of updating operations will gradually decrease in the coming period."

"As time goes by, the cost of hardware procurement will gradually be spread evenly."

“Although operating costs are still very high now, according to our statistics, Luo Ruyu’s operating costs will even be lower than Shang Qianyu’s in one year at most.”

"Because Luo Ruyu can rely on AI and use her powerful interactive capabilities to firmly maintain the fan base. These things are completely impossible for real people."

"..."

Listening to the secretary talking incessantly, especially when she emphasized "prospects" and "cost reduction", Yang Ruoqian felt a little pain in her head, and immediately waved her hand to stop her: "I know, I know, next!"

Qi Mu was very sensible and stopped reading. He took out the second document and said, "The second thing... is related to our colleagues."

"Come with us?" Yang Ruoqian immediately became excited, but his face remained calm, "Is it Yuefu? Or Tianyue?"

Kuaiguang Group is now a bit unstoppable and is in urgent need of an external opponent to suppress it.

It's really not enough for Mr. Yang to suppress it internally.

Qi Mu shook his head: "Mr. Yang, it's none of that. He's an overseas colleague."

Yang Ruoqian's interest remained undiminished and he asked: "Overseas colleagues? What's the matter?"

"You may not have noticed that a superhero-themed movie released not long ago had a box office far lower than the investment and suffered a heavy blow in the global market." Qi Mu said, "In fact, from the plot, special effects, characters and publicity Look, this movie is on the qualified line, but it still failed at the box office.”

"Did you know "Lightning Man"? Our "Black Robe Inspection Team" actually also borrowed from this character."

Seeing his colleagues in trouble, laughing and watching, Yang Ruoqian commented seasonedly: "Sometimes, it doesn't matter if you don't do anything wrong, it's what you do right that matters."

Anyway, I'm on the shore, so it doesn't matter if I say something casually.

As for the copyright dispute, Yang Ruoqian doesn't care - because the characters in "Black Robe Inspection Team" have basically no connection with the prototype.

Just like Patriot and Superman, everyone knows who is the prototype of whom, but can this cause any copyright disputes?
Moreover, even if he is really accused, Mr. Yang still wants nothing more.

Qi Mu blinked and reminded: "Mr. Yang, this matter has something to do with our group."
