As a company established for only a few years, Kuigu...

315. Chapter 308 Kui Guang-style multiple choice questions

"The Richest Man in Jinhai City", this name sounds good.

The current Kuiguang Group is estimated to be close to the 10 billion level. There is still a certain gap between it and the richest man, but almost no one doubts that Yang Ruoqian will be able to sit in this position one day.

While shooting a nonsensical and illogical movie, the true situation of the group's profits can also be revealed. Mr. Yang feels relieved just thinking about it.

Moreover, the first prize of the escape room variety show is the core resource of the Kuiguang Group, and the leading actor of this movie can be given out as a reward.

Along with the reward, there may be a contract - after all, it is the top prize for the variety show winner. If the movie is not as popular as expected, additional financial compensation will be required.

With such a vicious cycle, how can the company still worry about not losing money? Yang Ruoqian took two bites of food, glanced at the excited Guo Rang, and poured cold water on him: "But there is a big problem with your thinking. After signing the contract tomorrow, I will have someone tell you in detail how to change it."

Guo Rang was thinking of a traditional autobiographical plot, while Yang Ruoqian was thinking of the exact opposite plot. There was almost nothing in common between the two.

It will take some time to change Guo Rang's perception...

But it doesn’t matter. Since it has been decided to give the resources of the movie "The Richest Man in Jinhai City" as the number one reward to the winner of the variety show, time is not urgent. There is plenty of time to find a crew and change the plot.

Guo Rang had no objection to this. He nodded vigorously and said, "Boss Yang, I'll follow your arrangements. Thank you very much for giving me this opportunity!"

I was very surprised that my creativity was adopted. In the eyes of a professional entertainment company like Kuiguang Group, it must be full of loopholes.

It is better to be corrected than to be kicked out without mercy.

Guo Rang never thought that he would be noticed by Kuiguang Group so easily - after being politely rejected by the Human Resources Department, he did not get discouraged, but planned to stay in Jinhai City for a few more days.

As long as he finds an opportunity to meet Yang Ruoqian in person, he will use his eloquent tongue to introduce his own ideas.

Even if Mr. Yang himself rejects the idea, he will go back and make improvements and try it again next time he has the chance.

In Guo Rang's view, becoming an employee of Kuiguang Group is a long-term goal that needs to be achieved.

It was incredible enough that I was not kicked out of the restaurant by the waiter today, but I didn't expect that I could achieve my life goal directly with Yang Ruoqian's affirmation without even having time to prepare any gifts.

Yang Ruoqian put the last bite of food into his bowl and said, "A creative idea is only a flash of inspiration after all. It still needs to settle down to be transformed into content that can support a movie. Don't be in a hurry. Waiter, please settle the bill, thank you."

After the few people separated, Yang Ruoqian walked out of the shopping mall. It was past the peak hour and the traffic on the road had eased a little.

The two of them got into the sports car, and Yang Ruoqian asked casually, "What kind of sponsor do you think would be best for us to find for this variety show?"

"Either simply advertising the product, or sponsoring the props manufacturer?" Chang Zhiqing answered seriously, "The most important thing is who gets the naming rights, right?"

As the name suggests, the naming of a variety show is to add the name of the sponsoring company in front of the program, such as "Walnut Mobile Secret Room Wars".

Every time the host reads out the name of the variety show, he will also add the company's name and products.

Second-rate sponsors do not have naming rights and usually appear during the intermission of the variety show or in a corner of the subtitles, or simply add their products directly into the variety show.

For example, Yang Ruoqian plans to add an economic system to this escape room variety show, using food and water to force the guests to not stay in the safe zone. These foods and water will be where sponsors advertise.

If it can be operated better, the sponsorship income alone will be enough to recover most of the variety show costs.

"Naming rights..." Yang Ruoqian drove the car into the underground garage. "I don't trust others with this, so I'd better do it myself."

Mr. Yang, who was far away in Jinhai, had no idea at this time that his sudden illness and his sudden decision to do a variety show would cause so much trouble to so many people.

At this time, the senior management of a company famous for its beverages were holding an emergency meeting in the conference room.

"Did anyone get any information? What's going on with this escape room variety show?"

"No one has revealed any useful information. They have done a good job of keeping it secret." A middle-aged man in a suit and tie was writing something down. "This is their business. You don't need to worry about it."

"Given the steady and cautious style of Kuiguang Group, they must have been planning this variety show for a long time and have completed basic market research... Unless there are any major accidents, the ratings will definitely be a big hit."

"Releasing the news at this time is just a marketing tactic. Yang Ruoqian is trying to shorten the decision-making time for sponsors like us as much as possible, leaving us with no data to calculate and not daring to limit the advertising budget too much. This way, he can get more sponsorship fees."

Another expert nodded, "We can't help it. He controls the traffic and has a good reputation. It won't lose money to advertise with him. If that's the case, he will definitely raise the price."

"Haha... It's really hard to believe that this is a 24-year-old young man." The person sitting in the first seat smiled and shook his head. "Let's not keep you in suspense. Just tell me, how much funding do you think is appropriate?"

"Let's start with 200 million, and then we can increase it to 250 million at most." A person who had been doing analysis with a paper and pen calculator looked up, "There's no need to raise it more than that."

200 million... This number is not too outrageous. After all, Nong Mou Shanquan’s exclusive sponsorship fee for "Idol Trainee" is also this number.

The Kuiguang Group is so high-profile, inviting all the top stars with great fanfare, and creating hype for a large-scale variety show, it can’t be any worse.

Well-designed variety shows will attract a lot of viewers, and the reputation of Kuiguang Group itself will also attract a lot of viewers, plus the traffic brought by various first-line stars, the inevitable promotion of the Leopard platform and the unremitting publicity and promotion of Chengyu Media...

How scary is this exposure?

The sponsorship fee of 250 million is indeed quite reasonable.

What's more, their new "Sunman Electrolyte Water" really needs a lot of exposure to be quickly promoted to the market.

"I'll apply for the budget tomorrow, and you guys should bid as soon as possible." The first person nodded. "I heard that this variety show is related to an escape room. We make beverages, so there's a lot of advertising space... How about this, we don't want 250 million. Our bottom line is 300 million. As long as it's within this number, just agree to it without reporting it."

"Does anyone have any other ideas?"

A woman sitting in the back seat suddenly spoke up: "I'm doing PR, see if I can invite their variety show chief planner to have a meal or a drink or something. Sponsorship fees are sponsorship fees, sometimes it's easier to get things done if you have the right connections."

After the woman said this, everyone present was stunned.

Usually, other people would treat them to meals, and people from other companies would entertain them in order to get their orders...

I almost forgot about this today.

"Yeah, that makes sense... You can try to run it, maybe it can help us save some sponsorship fees. I'll have someone give you the chief planner's phone number later."

No matter how high the sponsorship fee is, it is the company's money. Even if it will eventually be counted into the performance of the variety show's chief planner, it is ultimately not as solid as the benefits that are actually earned.

A 300 million order without any public relations or interpersonal relationships may not be able to beat the 250 million after operation! After arranging their work, the woman picked up her phone and called Qin Xin.

After a few busy tones, Qin Xin's voice appeared on the other end of the receiver: "Hello?"

The woman's voice immediately became sweet and gentle: "Hello, Mr. Qin, I am the person in charge of the Sun Company. May I ask..."

Qin Xin suddenly realized what was going on and immediately declined politely, "I'm sorry, I don't lend money."

The woman almost lost her grip on the phone: "Mr. Qin, please don't hang up. I'm not an online loan agent or an insurance salesperson!"

I've already called him "chief planner", so how can I still be misunderstood as someone trying to promote online loans? Why do I feel like Qin Xin is a little unreliable...

"Oh, what's that?"

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

"Aren't you in charge of the entire Kuiguang Group's large-scale variety show? Our company is planning to bid for the exclusive naming rights. I would like to arrange a specific time with you to discuss it. When are you free?"

"I can't tell you about this for now." A regretful voice came from Qin Xin immediately.

The woman was stunned for a moment: "Can't tell for the time being?"

Isn't Qin Xin the boss of this variety show? Is there anything he can't say? Judging from Yang Ruoqian's personality and the many inside information he disclosed, Yang Ruoqian is not a boss who is very keen on personally intervening in the project.

Moreover, they have already announced that they are going to shoot a variety show in such a high profile. What they are going to say is not a very confidential matter. Why can't they say it? I have never heard that Kuiguang Group would have such a high level of confidentiality for the projects that have been disclosed! They are indeed very good at protecting the privacy of artists, but from "The Black Robe Inspection Team" to "Wandering Blue Star", many things are public.

Qin Xin lowered his voice a little: "Yes, it's time to get off work now. If you have anything to say, please talk after 9 o'clock and before 6 o'clock tomorrow morning. Okay, I'm hanging up. If you continue talking, your salary will be deducted..."

Beep, beep, beep…

The people from the Sun Company looked at each other, and for a moment they were speechless.

As the most social person in the company, the woman has thought about many situations, such as how to persuade the new chief planner who is not willing to do anything outside the procedure, or what to use to tempt the chief planner who is not very interested in money, etc.

As long as they can arrange to have a meal, women will have the confidence that they can solve most of the problems, or at least they will not return empty-handed.

But this was the first time she encountered a situation where she didn't want to chat because it was time to get off work.

Not only her, but other company leaders in the conference room also heard of such a thing for the first time.

This is a project worth hundreds of millions of dollars. Who among the people present is not a member of the Suns management team? Who is not leading the way in working overtime? Besides, chatting with Qin Xin is not asking him to work overtime, so why is he so nervous?

How can you continue the conversation if someone refuses to talk to you because it is not working hours?

"This...what should I do?"

"How about we call again during working hours tomorrow? I've heard before that the management of Kuiguang Group is very strict about working hours. Qin Xin shouldn't be talking nonsense."

"That's all we can do."

After the large-scale variety show of Kuiguang Group was exposed, not only the companies that wanted to promote their own products were excited, but also many celebrity artists who wanted to promote themselves.

Even the well-known first-tier star Feng Luo is willing to bow down for this resource, not to mention those second- and third-tier stars.

If you perform well in this kind of variety show, you are likely to be promoted directly to the first line and become instantly popular! The internal invitation of Kuiguang Group does not occupy all the places, and some stars' schedules are too busy to handle, so some places will be vacated.

The competition for these places is extremely bloody.

Celebrities who did not receive invitations but were able to squeeze out time to participate in variety shows have mobilized all the resources they can around them and found all the connections they can. As long as they can make an appearance in this variety show, it would be a sure win!

What's more, there is also the possibility of winning first place in the variety show and enjoying a lot of resource support from the Kuiguang Group.

As for the reward...

Let alone compensation, they would be willing to pay for it! "Teacher Zhang Wei, the email has been sent to Kuiguang Group. There is an automatic reply. You can take a look." A slightly tired voice came from the office of a standard artist studio. "But I think we still shouldn't ask for compensation. It's worth spending some money for this resource."

"Then how do you pay the salaries?" Zhang Wei waved his hand generously. "This kind of variety show needs to last at least two or three months, plus the payment period, how can you not get paid for half a year? How are you going to eat?"

"But……"

"It's nothing to complain about. I think with the quality-oriented culture of Kuiguang Group, the management won't attach too much importance to this little money. What we have to do is to show our strength and sincerity, and it's understandable to ask for some compensation."

As Zhang Wei spoke, he stood up, walked to the computer, and checked the contents of the automatic reply email.

Well… just some very general notes and reward details.

There are two options for the first place in the variety show. The first is the starring role in the third movie of Kuiguang Group and intensive publicity. The second option is to add a guarantee clause to the first option. If these resources do not achieve the expected results, there will be additional monetary compensation...

"This, is there really anyone who chooses 1?"

"Or is there some hidden meaning in this sentence?"
