The fishing ground I opened has become a national leisure destination

Chapter 545 New Direction for Yucheng Film and Television

The awards ceremony was a time for celebration. Not only were the grand prizes awarded on site, but viewers in various live stream rooms were also sending virtual gifts to congratulate their favorite contestants.

After the awards ceremony, the event team returned to the hotel for a meal.

During the meeting, Chairman Wang discussed the upcoming arrangements.

"The Masters Tournament has come to a perfect end. Only the King of Fishing Tournament remains this year. According to the tournament rules, all those who have won the title of Master of Fishing are eligible to participate."

The Fishing King Tournament was originally a competition planned by CAA and was originally a regular competition. However, due to Chen Yuan's planning, the Fishing King Tournament was transformed into a star competition in the fishing world.

All the top anglers in the country participated.

The competition is more of an exhibition than a formal event, so there are no points awarded, but there are prizes, and the champion receives a Fishing King trophy.

Fishing King, King of Kings.

It's easy to understand why these two trophies are comparable to those in the NBA: the King of Kings is the Finals MVP, while the Fishing King is the All-Star MVP.

"This year's Fishing King Competition will be held at Chen Yuan Fishing Ground. Chairman Chen, you will be responsible for the detailed schedule and arrangements," Chairman Wang said, looking at Chen Yuan.

"it is good."

The inaugural Fishing All-Star event was held at Chenyuan Fishing Ground, and as the organizer, we certainly needed to develop a detailed schedule.

"The association has three tasks to complete next."

After discussing the competition, Chairman Wang continued, "With the annual competition now over, the competition referee committee will conduct a review and training session for the referees."

"A referee debriefing and training session is being planned," Hao Wei replied.

"Then other departments, including all CAA board members, will summarize their annual development. A summary meeting will be held after the Fishing King Competition ends."

"Finally, there is the development plan, including the association's recruitment of new members and the latest annual competition plans, or any good suggestions for the association's development."

These topics should have been discussed at the meeting rather than at the dinner table, but Chairman Wang chose to simplify things. Instead of holding a separate post-match meeting, he brought them up during the post-match meal to let everyone know about the work to come.

Simple and convenient.

During the meeting, Chairman Wang also chatted with Chen Yuan about many things, from domestic fishing to international fishing competitions, and even the fishing tackle industry.

Chen Yuan's ideas were very creative, and Chairman Wang's insights were also very helpful to him, giving him a deeper understanding of the development of the Fishing Association, the fishing sport, and the fishing tackle industry.

……

The following day, Chen Yuan and his group returned home.

Wang Heng and his colleagues continued working at Chen's Fishing Tackle Factory, while Chen Yuan returned to Yucheng Village, spending his days strolling around the fishponds, checking on other projects, and occasionally handling association matters—a rather leisurely life.

At the end of the month, Chen Yuan received a notification that the system upgrade was complete, and he hurriedly went back to his room to access the system.

"Based on feedback from previous operations, the upgrade progress was only a little over a thousand points per day. With the opening of the sea fishing grounds, the upgrade speed has increased slightly, and this time it took almost three months."

He called up the system and indeed saw that the upgrade progress of 100,000 was full.

A button-like prompt followed.

It's two words: exchange.

Is this an upgrade reward?

Chen Yuan chose to exchange, and the system page directly scrolled to the sales permission section, and then popped up to the production process section, where there was also an option to exchange for new permissions.

really.

Upon seeing this, Chen Yuan's eyes lit up.

He already understands what the rewards for the subsequent system upgrades will be: sales and production rights, which will gradually bring all products in the fishing tackle industry to reality.

To truly achieve self-sufficiency and build the Chen's Fishing Tackle brand.

"At least the lifeline of Chen's fishing gear can truly be in their own hands."

This is undoubtedly excellent news.

At the current upgrade speed, even with the help of the sea fishing grounds, it is estimated that it will take more than two months, almost three months, to obtain the reward privilege each time.

This speed is a little slow.

But upon closer examination, is it really slow?
Obtaining four or five sales and production rights a year is equivalent to launching four or five new products annually. This speed is astonishing even when Chen's fishing tackle had a wide range of products.

Chen's Fishing Gear is absolutely a one-stop shop for fishing.

"Let's exchange for lure fishing products instead."

Currently, there is a scarcity of lure fishing products, and this is a key area for penetrating overseas markets. Therefore, it is essential to offer a wide variety of products with excellent quality, and for better results, choose the enhanced version.

After redeeming the rewards, Chen Yuan informed Gong Lei and Cui Liang about the new products.

The two said they received the message and would return to China in a few days.

In early November, the two returned, bringing with them several orders. This time, the orders included not only new products from Europe and the United States, but also from Southeast Asia and other regions.

With the continued rise in global fishing activity, Europe, America, and Southeast Asia are undoubtedly the most active regions and the main drivers of growth in the fishing tackle market.

Gong Lei and Cui Liang have essentially established offline sales channels in these regions.

"You two have brought in at least tens of millions in profit for Chen's Fishing Tackle after making this trip." Chen Yuan was excited and relieved when he saw the orders while receiving the two people at Chen's Fishing Tackle.

"The main reason is that Chen's fishing tackle is of high quality and effective. The first batch of products has already been launched, and both sales and reputation are very good, which is why there are follow-up orders," Gong Lei said with a smile.

“It’s November now, and it’s getting cold in many places. Spring and summer are the peak seasons for the global fishing tackle market. I believe Chen’s fishing tackle will be even more popular in the international market next year,” Cui Liang said with a smile.

If this is the effect during the off-season, I wonder what it will be like during the peak season.

"In addition to establishing offline partnerships with local companies and sellers, we have also developed online channels and signed contracts with multiple e-commerce platforms, enabling Chen's Fishing Tackle products to be exported globally."

Gong Lei spoke about their promotional achievements.

"Thank you is too few words. I'll make the arrangements tonight," Chen Yuan said with a smile.

"Mr. Chen, you're too kind. We're all paid high salaries, and opening up the market will enrich our own pockets," Gong Lei and Cui Liang laughed heartily.

This type of order-based sales does not have a clear commission, but the compensation that Gong Lei and Cui Liang received upon signing the employment contract was not low, and they also enjoyed profit sharing, which was the same as a commission.

"It's good that you're back."

Although Wang Heng and his colleagues were happy, production had already overwhelmed them.

"From now on, the lure fishing production line will be your responsibility. You'll be in charge of production efficiency." The group quickly assigned tasks to each other.

"I want to go abroad."

Gong Lei shrugged and said to Cui Liang, "Here's what we'll do: Liang, you stay and take charge of production and the domestic market, and I'll take charge of the overseas market." "Okay," Cui Liang thought about it and agreed.

He didn't have Gong Lei's excellent language skills, nor did he have Gong Lei's connections in the international lure fishing circle. Expanding overseas markets mainly relied on Gong Lei; he was just a cooperating partner.

Since that's the case, it's better to stay in China. As long as we can handle production and logistics, we can also cater to the domestic market.

He has limited connections in the international lure fishing community, but he has a lot of connections in the country.

Time passed slowly, and Chen's fishing gear business flourished. Yucheng Village and other projects were also developing rapidly, and Chen Yuan would occasionally check on these projects.

Taking advantage of the fact that he's not too busy right now, he plans to take a look at Yucheng Film and Television.

Online movies are indeed in a period of rapid, unregulated growth, where basically anyone who enters the market can make money, the only difference being how much.

However, with more and more industries entering the market, online films will also be subject to planning. Although Yucheng Films has always maintained a focus on high-quality films, it will not be significantly affected.

However, with the arrival of the era of high-quality films, the market for online movies will gradually become limited.

Most importantly, if Yucheng Film & Television wants to complete its transformation, it must leverage the online film platform to achieve a leap forward, which benefits both Yucheng Film & Television and its artists.

Otherwise, it will always be labeled as a "net university".

"Besides online movies, online dramas also have extremely high prospects and influence."

The explosive popularity of online movies signifies the huge profit potential of the online film and television industry, leading to the creation of many online dramas.

Compared to online movies, web series have stronger storylines, higher acceptance, and greater influence. To put it simply, they have a stronger ability to create stars.

Many stars in later generations transformed into stars through web dramas.

For example, the actress who played Chen Qianqian, and the actress who played the Crown Princess, this drama has produced many stars. The same goes for Sky City, as well as the male lead who played the Icebreaker, and many others who became popular again because of web dramas.

The Hidden Corner, The Silent Truth, the Chase series, and many other classic web dramas have produced many memorable scenes and made many people more famous.

However, when it comes to online movies, very few actors have actually become stars. Even Peng Hongyu, who later transitioned to web series, is an example.

Therefore, in terms of star-making ability alone, online movies are far inferior to web series.

And once a star is successfully created, the value it brings is self-evident.

Putting that aside, the earning power of online dramas is also quite impressive.

Take the upcoming drama "Go Princess Go" on a certain platform as an example. Putting aside the fact that it was forced to be taken down for some reason, just after it was launched, it received a net profit of nearly 40 million yuan from the first revenue sharing on the platform.

It is net profit, the pure profit after deducting all production costs.

Furthermore, subsequent broadcasts on a certain platform will continue to generate revenue. Although it won't be as impressive as the initial revenue share, it's conservatively estimated to be around half a small fortune overall.

Therefore, the first step in the transition from online movies is web series.

The first step in transitioning to web series is to help Yucheng Film and Television understand and recognize web series, with screenwriters playing a key role. If screenwriters can't even write web series scripts, how can they talk about anything else?

"Web series are TV dramas produced by computer networks and broadcast on the Internet. They are connected to network devices such as computers, mobile phones and tablets, which are more convenient and interactive. They can be watched on demand without any playback restrictions."

Chen Yuan first held a meeting with the scriptwriting department, saying, "Simply put, web series are the same as TV series, just with different production and broadcasting media. Our focus going forward will be on web series."

"All employees in the scriptwriting department must submit a web series script before the end of the year, and Yucheng Film and Television will select the best ones to start filming."

After meeting with the screenwriting department, Chen Yuan held a video conference with Qin Fen and Xie Di to discuss Yucheng Film and Television's transformation plan, but this did not mean abandoning online movies.

Maintain a two-pronged approach: before honing her acting skills, focus on online movies, and after gaining a good response from acting in web series, try to move into serious dramas.

After finishing the company's transformation plan, Chen Yuan didn't rest. He thought about the more famous web series from his previous life and tried to recreate one of them to show Yucheng Film and Television the benefits of the transformation.

At the same time, we also need to cultivate film and television artists in Yucheng.

The first batch will definitely include Liang Qianyue, Peng Hongyu, and He Meixuan, among others. Firstly, they are more famous, and secondly, they are more capable and have a greater chance of transformation.

The best option for Chen Yuan is to target the Sky City story system.

……

In the days that followed, Chen Yuan seemed to return to the pace of rushing to finish the scripts for online movies, devoting all his time to scriptwriting.

It took almost half a month to polish the script, until early December.

"Old Qin, you will direct this first web series. The main cast will be led by Peng Hongyu, Liang Qianyue, and He Meixuan. You will choose the rest of the main cast. If Yucheng Film and Television doesn't have suitable candidates, they can hire from outside."

After polishing the script, Chen Yuan handed it directly to Qin Fen, saying, "I only have one requirement: strive for perfection. I don't need to control costs, but it must be a huge hit."

This drama was tailor-made for Liang Qianyue (by Peng Hongyu) and He Meixuan, but actually it wasn't exactly tailor-made; it was just very suitable for them.

Liang Qianyue is comparable to the "4,000-year beauty," Peng Hongyu is comparable to Brother Yun, and He Meixuan is comparable to "Little Qingcheng." If they perform well in this drama, their acting careers will undergo a qualitative transformation.

"give it to me."

Although Qin Fen had reservations about Yucheng Film and Television's transformation, the company's main business, online film projects, was extremely profitable, even frighteningly so.

At this point, most people wouldn't dare to proactively change their business model.

But he believes in Chen Yuan. Yucheng Film and Television's current scale and achievements are inseparable from Chen Yuan's leadership, and they are willing to continue to follow in Chen Yuan's footsteps.

"Coordinate with other production teams to get the actors in place as soon as possible. This web series isn't long, so bring the same efficiency you would use to shoot a web movie and try to get it released before the Spring Festival," Chen Yuan instructed.

Seizing the time means seizing the market.

"There are still more than two months, which is enough time, provided that I want to get a few more employees from Wang Tao," Qin Fen requested.

Setting up a filming location is very time-consuming, especially since this web series is a fantasy series. Wang Tao only felt comfortable and at ease using the people he had on hand.

“No problem.” Chen Yuan readily agreed.

According to the plan, the new rural construction project is scheduled to be completed this month. Since Wang Tao is currently struggling to control the construction schedule, it would be better to reassign him to a more suitable position.

After settling matters related to the web series, there are two things to do next in December, the first being the Fishing King Competition.

In mid-December, all the fishing athletes who had won the title of "Master Angler" from across the country gathered at Chenyuan Fishing Ground. The event was broadcast live by various media platforms, and a voting channel for the audience was opened.

The Fishing King Tournament is not a formal competition, but an exhibition all-star event. Therefore, the title of Fishing King is not entirely determined by the fishing results, but more by the participation of the audience. The contestant with the most popularity wins the title of Fishing King.

It can also be considered as hosting a fishing fun event with the audience.

In addition to the normal fishing activities, the Fishing King Competition also featured many interesting segments, such as a feud between Wang Heng and Deng Gang, making the whole event very entertaining.

In the end, Wang Heng won the title of Fishing King with the highest popularity and best performance, and won the All-Star Game MVP.

Besides the Fishing King Competition, another important event is the completion and handover of the new rural construction project near the end of the month.

This is a very significant event for the entire Yucheng Village.
