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

433. Chapter 418: The sequel ruins the original

Yang Ruoqian was only slightly flustered for a moment, but he immediately calmed down.

For competitions like this, the prize money is generally not too high, at most a few million US dollars, which is around 20 million at most.

Moreover, according to the contract, more than half of the 20 million belongs to the club and is divided among the players and all staff.

The final number that ended up on the company's books was only a few million.

The impact of these millions is actually very small and is relatively simple to handle, and will not affect the settlement at the end of the quarter.

"It's just a minor incident. It scared me." Yang Ruoqian breathed a sigh of relief. "The additional money from the sponsor should arrive next year. It's not a big problem."

In a competitive sponsorship contract, the sponsor has requirements for the club's performance. If the club performs poorly on the field, the club may lose money.

Conversely, if the club performs well enough, sponsors will provide additional sponsorship.

However, it will take some time for the money to arrive.

After dealing with this minor accident, Yang Ruoqian reminded everyone repeatedly to close the company's payment channels during non-working hours and that any money received must be automatically returned via the same channel. Only then did he finally feel relieved.

"I don't have anything to do, so I'll go out for a walk and see what's going on at the club in Qianda Plaza today."

It has long been known that the YTG club’s headquarters is located in Qianda Plaza. This successful defense of the championship is expected to drive another wave of consumption.

But it doesn’t matter. Let yourself worry about next quarter’s affairs next quarter.

This is called believing in the wisdom of future generations.

Yang Ruoqian turned off the computer, packed up his things, and made an appointment with Chang Zhiqing for a meeting place. Then he slowly came to Qianda Plaza and walked towards the largest milk tea shop on the first floor.

Now this milk tea shop has become one of the many surrounding industries of the Kuiguang Group.

As long as they want, consumers can buy milk tea cups that are co-branded with many celebrities or IPs.

And there is no extra charge.

The clerk saw Yang Ruoqian come in and asked with a smile, "Boss Yang, still the same as before?"

It's no secret that Mr. Yang doesn't drink much and prefers to use other drinks instead of alcohol. He can be seen in various beverage stores in shopping malls.

There were quite a few people in the store at this time, and many of them looked over when they heard this.

Is this the big boss of Kuiguang Group?

He is so "friendly" that he still queues up to buy milk tea?

Yang Ruoqian was already used to these looks and nodded: "Yes, same as always."

“…”

After the milk tea was made, he picked up the bag, took a big sip, and walked up the escalator to the upper level.

Just one glance and you can see how crowded the YTG club training base is.

Even though the team members haven't returned home yet, there is a large group of enthusiastic fans holding signs and celebrating the double championship.

They were like this before they returned to China. It is hard to imagine what irrational consumption behaviors they would have after they returned to China...

well.

Mr. Yang sighed in his heart. He thought that the next quarter would not be so easy.

After all, it is impossible to find so many heavy asset projects to build every quarter, but the revenue every quarter can always be used to come up with new ideas.

Just as Yang Ruoqian walked down the escalator and was about to go to the agreed place to find Chang Zhiqing, a voice suddenly came from not far away.

"Mr. Chang, we really didn't mean to be late. Please give us a chance. Please believe that these two brothers and sisters are definitely qualified to be actors..."

A woman brought a brother and sister who looked to be under 20 years old and had visibly flustered expressions on their faces.

There was anxiety on her face and a hint of pleading in her tone.

Chang Zhiqing, holding two cups of milk tea in her hands, glanced at the curious eyes gathered around her, looking a little embarrassed: "Calm down, the three of you, the project you mentioned is actually not under my jurisdiction."

"you……"

Yang Ruoqian took a big sip of milk tea, walked over curiously, and asked, "What's going on? What are you doing here?"

Chang Zhiqing came over quickly and said, "It's about the crew of "The Black Robe Inspection Team 2". This brother and sister planned to come for an audition, but due to some unexpected circumstances, they didn't make it in time. They said they hope you can give them another chance to audition."

"Look, I really don't know how to handle this matter."

I just want an audition opportunity, not to get an acting position through the backdoor...

Yang Ruoqian understood and walked over to ask, "Why are you late?"

When the agent saw Yang Ruoqian, she was so excited that she felt like she had seen a savior. She even spoke in a long-winded way: "Hello, Mr. Yang, hello... I'm the agent of Liusha Media. I'm really sorry. It was already very late when we received the notice to audition, and we couldn't book an earlier flight. It happened that the weather was very bad that day, and the flight was delayed several times."

"We finally got here, but we ran into a huge traffic jam..."

"You can look at our flight information. We took photos after we left the airport. We really are not making excuses."

“…”

Yang Ruoqian looked at the agent in front of him who was talking nonstop, and then took out his mobile phone in a slightly humbly manner, checking the flight information while explaining nervously, and he couldn't help feeling a little emotional.

Now he could finally feel intuitively that even though there have been many improvements, resources in the entertainment industry were still scarce. As a big boss with capital and direct resources, his words, or even an audition qualification where success or failure was uncertain, were very important.

Liusha Media is not a small company, and judging from the fact that the agent in front of them was able to find Chang Zhiqing so quickly, was willing to pull her down and beg in front of so many people, and was able to retrieve flight information and other evidence so quickly, she is definitely not a novice.

You must have a certain status in the company.

When speaking to such a person, you must be polite and respectful.

It is true that today is different from the past.

Yang Ruoqian nodded gently, indicating that she could take her phone back, and then asked curiously: "You were late for a short time, right? Did the crew not let you in?"

In fact, it's not just Chang Zhiqing. Yang Ruoqian is not directly in charge of the crew and doesn't quite understand some of the crew's rules.

But you can notify the crew in the future and don't have to be so strict about everything. As long as it doesn't break the rules and doesn't infringe on principles, some things can be flexible.

The female agent gave a bitter smile and said, "We didn't even see the crew when we got there, and the security guards stopped us outside. Director An contacted us via work email, and we sent him an email but didn't receive a reply, and we didn't get a rejection either... We really had no choice but to resort to this last resort, and we're really embarrassed."

Stopping the big boss of Kuiguang Group is indeed a bad idea.

It is easy to lose favor if you are not careful, and it is not impossible that Liusha Media will eventually be unpopular.

Nowadays, unless you are a newcomer to the entertainment industry, there is basically a consensus - there is an unspoken rule in the Kuiguang Group, that is, all the unspoken rules in the entertainment industry do not apply to the Kuiguang Group.

The private exchange of money and resources, or even the private exchange of other things and resources, is not permitted in the Kuiguang Group.

If you want to get resources, just look at your strength.

But it is precisely because of this that the agent believes that Yang Ruoqian and his crew are willing to give them a chance.

Yang Ruoqian took a look and nodded: "It is indeed a force majeure factor... How about this, you send me your information and I will talk to the crew. You can report this afternoon. It is just an audition opportunity. Whether you will be used or not depends on the crew's opinion."

Hearing Yang Ruoqian's assurance, the three of them breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as Yang Ruoqian's guarantee was given, all the problems would be solved! At least the audition spot was saved.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Sure enough...just as the outside world has rumored, Mr. Yang is a boss who values ​​talents and is willing to give people opportunities.

Of course, none of the three of them would think that Yang Ruoqian is someone who is easy to mess with - the last listed company that thought Yang Ruoqian was easy to mess with has now seen its share price cut in half, and is frantically selling off its assets in exchange for cash flow.

The agent bowed quickly: "Thank you, Mr. Yang, thank you very much for giving us this opportunity!"

"It's just a piece of cake." Yang Ruoqian waved his hand. "If you encounter any difficulties along the way, just contact the crew directly. Director An must have been too busy recently and has no time to check emails."

There are a lot of people who signed up to audition for "The Boys 2", and not everyone can show up. An Zhou needs to deal with so many things on and off the set, so it is normal that he has no time to read emails.

Even Yang Ruoqian himself only clears his emails once a week, and does not check them several times a day like he does messages.

After finishing this little thing and strolling around the mall with Chang Zhiqing for two rounds, Yang Ruoqian returned home.

“Even though I’ve been through so many settlements, I still get a little nervous every time I settle.”

Rubbing his hands, Yang Ruoqian watched a variety show while waiting for the end-of-quarter settlement date.

I have to say that this competition organized by the program team to test the trainees' "on-the-spot reaction" was really a great show.

It is obviously a normal segment, but it is full of laughter. Almost every round of competition and every lyric writing will eventually turn into an incredible plot.

Those trainees who performed very well in the acting competition in the first stage often burst into laughter during this stage.

There are many real audiences at variety shows. They can't hold back their laughter and usually burst out laughing when they see a plot like "the criminal dancing one millimeter away from the crime scene."

This kind of laughter, combined with the already funny plot, created a chain reaction, and even the trainees who had been able to hold back their laughter were very likely to burst into laughter.

Once one trainee can't help laughing, it will be difficult for the other trainee to do the same.

Yang Ruoqian even saw two trainees couldn't help but hold their stomachs and laugh for a whole minute.

Such a scene itself is even funnier than the outrageous script.

After just one day, the number of views of this episode had already reached the same level as the first episode, and unsurprisingly, it once again dominated the hot searches on most social media platforms.

"Alas, who understands the feeling of not being able to fail at anything you do?"

After complaining, the system reminder sound came as expected.

[Company's profit and loss this quarter: -23100921.73]

[The company has a financial deficit this quarter, but considering that the host has purchased a lot of heavy assets with huge appreciation potential and have not yet made a profit, a deficit of only more than 20 million is a very good performance! I hope the host will continue to work hard! ]

"Finally, I lost money again. It wasn't easy." Yang Ruoqian let out a long sigh. "Who would have thought that I, the boss of such a big group, would go to such trouble just to make these two million."

[Based on the profit ratio of 1/10, the host will receive a commission of 2310092.17 yuan, which has reached the standard of the surprise prize! ]

[Congratulations to the host for completing the long-term mission 3.0: Kuiguang Group has opened important branches of considerable size in at least two important cities across the country]

[Surprise gift: It is detected that the Kuiguang Group is currently consciously operating various IPs and trying to expand its influence to the global level. The system will reward a special universal license. As long as it does not violate the law, the IP will not be troubled by the review process of various countries.]

[Long-term mission reward: technical support for emerging products. Due to various objective reasons, such as restrictions on hardware or software import and export trade, the host may not be able to realize some highly creative ideas. In order to avoid such situations, the system can provide the host with a free international procurement opportunity without any threshold.]

【Note: All system rewards cannot be resold! 】

[Long-term mission 4.0: The host's business has spread across the country. Please stabilize the basic situation in the country and try to shape the company's influence in the overseas market and obtain corresponding profits (host a world-class event and make a profit of 1.5 billion in the overseas market)]

Yang Ruoqian looked at the reward given by the system with dead fish eyes, and complained again: "You really won't give up until you see me making money..."

Once an IP becomes popular, it is like a money printing machine, not to mention that it is an overseas IP.

Now Yang Ruoqian has completely understood that the so-called reward for completing the task is actually a punishment!

Last time we provided evidence, this time we are raising the IP!

What surprise prizes, what task rewards, they are all meant to dig up one's own subsidies.

That’s easy. It’s not mandatory anyway, so I won’t do this task!

Yang Ruoqian sneered and ignored the long-term task 4.0. He opened the memo on his phone and made a simple plan of what to do in the next quarter.

“Since the system allows me to expand overseas, I will continue to focus on the domestic industry.”

"Don't people say that sequels ruin the original? Don't people say that sequels are just a way to make money without making any progress? Then I'm going to develop a sequel!"

The sequel "The Boys 2" is currently being filmed.

But this is not enough...

Because "The Boys 2" is a true sequel, the timeline follows the previous work closely, the characters are all the original cast, and the plot is smoothly connected, so the audience still feels confident.

"What if I create a non-traditional sequel where the timeline is disrupted and 90% of the original characters cannot appear?"

"Now we can finally destroy the original work, right?" (End of this chapter)
