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

Chapter 470: Full-scale work begins, completely crazy

A few days later, "Wandering Blue Planet 2" was officially released.

Yang Ruoqian and Chang Zhiqing came to Qianda Plaza and looked at the surging crowds in front of them with excited expressions on their faces.

"Do you think we should ask the company to arrange a special passage for us?" Chang Zhiqing complained, "Every time something big happens, we have to experience the huge crowds."

There were actually signs of the huge crowds at Qianda Plaza a long time ago.

We could get a glimpse of this from the previous YTG championship event day.

Although there were a lot of people at the time, it still did not exceed the upper limit of the number of customers a shopping mall could accommodate. At most, the speed was a little slower.

Now, the parking lots at Qianda Plaza are completely insufficient.

Looking outside from upstairs, there were long queues of people waiting for parking spaces.

"The supporting facilities are not ready..." Yang Ruoqian pressed his forehead and exhaled, "But the people over there must have noticed it. There is construction going on across the street now. They should be building a parking lot."

Although this place is already a bustling entertainment center in terms of traffic and income, it is new after all, and many supporting facilities have not kept up.

Chang Zhiqing symbolically took a sip of the milk tea in her hand: "That's not what I mean... Even if the supporting facilities are in place, there will still be a lot of people. What I mean is, should we have an exclusive channel?"

"Oh, about this." Yang Ruoqian shrugged. "Actually, there's no need to be so troublesome. If we really want to go faster, we can use the employee passage."

Such a large entertainment complex naturally has exclusive passages for employees.

Chang Zhiqing was shocked: "Then why haven't we ever walked through the employee passage?!"

"I thought it would be more lively if there were more people," Yang Ruoqian explained slowly. "It's so desolate walking through the staff passage."

"You are quite particular about ritual, aren't you?"

It's not about the sense of ceremony, but I want to witness with my own eyes how great the effect of organizing so many big events and removing various heroes from the cast of "Wandering Blue Planet 2" is.

How can you feel it so intuitively when walking through the employee passage?

It now seems that the effect cannot be said to be immediate, but only minimal.

There was no silence at all, okay? This was the scene on the day when Luo Ruying held her concert.

Judging from the current trend, there is no need to even look at it. This quarter's data can be said to be completely terrible.

"Forget it. With "The Boys 2", Luo Rujin, and all kinds of messy things happening, I didn't have much plan for this quarter anyway." Mr. Yang already had a certain psychological expectation of such an outcome, and his mentality was relatively stable at this time - after all, he had a small loss last quarter, so it didn't matter if he didn't lose money this quarter.

Movies, celebrities and so on, the costs seem huge and the numbers seem high, but the damage caused to the group is indeed getting lower and lower.

The success was expected, and the failure did not actually have much of an impact on the company's cash flow.

The next quarter is the one that Yang Ruoqian is placing his heavy bets on, and it can be said that he is going all out with all his heart.

The site for the zoo has been chosen, the bidding for the engineering team has been completed, and the selection of employees is almost complete. Build! Just like before, find a bunch of engineering teams to jointly build the zoo regardless of cost and share the construction time.

The cruise plan proposed by Shao Yiqi can also be put on the table. After consolidating the IP value of "The Boys" overseas and using Luo Ruying to create a popular AI star image internationally, Yang Ruoqian finally saw what a "money printing machine" is.

You can also try to select some major cities around the world to build amusement park branches.

Domestic expenses alone can no longer withstand the destruction of this kind of cash flow.

Creators of various fan fiction and comics around the world must give the group a certain percentage of every income they earn.

In order to please the audience, various international advertisers charge countless fees for a single endorsement.

Although these funds are still stuck overseas and have not been settled and recorded in the accounts due to Yang Ruoqian's strenuous delay, they must be recorded in the next quarter no matter how long it is delayed.

Once the money is deposited and forms a steady flow, there is almost no possibility of it being shaken.

Faced with this kind of poor cash flow of collecting rent at almost zero cost, the production cost of a super special effects movie is no longer a critical issue.

Moreover, after two years of love-hate relationship between Yang Ruoqian and the system, he has basically figured out the rules behind the system.

The company underwent a major upgrade when it went from a startup to a local powerhouse.

It also underwent a major upgrade when it transitioned from a local large enterprise to a national large enterprise.

Now that Kuiguang Group has established its position in the domestic market and is officially heading into the international market, there will inevitably be a major upgrade.

Every upgrade will bring new challenges to Yang Ruoqian.

The last time the ratio was raised, so that the commission for profits and the subsidy for losses were both less.

No one knows what kind of upgrades there will be this time, but Yang Ruoqian can be sure of one thing - in the following quarters, the standards for getting the best deals may be higher.

"It's a pity that I didn't make more money this time." Yang Ruoqian sighed, "It will definitely be more difficult to make money in the future."

After sighing, Yang Ruoqian and Chang Zhiqing took the staff passage and arrived at the cinema without any obstruction.

Just as he expected, even the upgraded and expanded cinema was still crowded.

Judging from the popularity, "Wandering Blue Planet 2" is even more popular in China than "The Black Robe Inspection Team 2"! Yang Ruoqian has tried his best to distract the audience and promote other projects to distract everyone from "Wandering Blue Planet 2", but in the end, after all the hard work, it's still like this.

After watching the movie, I came to the company the next day.

As expected, Qi Mu was waiting in the office early with a summary document in his hand.

Yang Ruoqian was not polite to the secretary: "Go ahead, it's the same old process. You are familiar with it, and so am I."

Qi Mu smiled and said, "Boss Yang, judging from the data performance on the first day, the box office of Wandering Blue Planet 2 will exceed that of The Black Robe Inspection Team 2. The theaters have arranged a lot of screenings, but they are still full, and they are urgently increasing the number of screenings now."

"The first day's data performance is more than... "The Black Robe Inspection Team 2"?!"

You should know that for superhero movies like "The Boys 2", the data curve will be relatively steep, and the performance will be relatively weak in the later stages.

For science fiction movies like "Wandering Blue Planet 2", the data curve will be relatively smoother and the decline will be relatively gentler.

In other words, if nothing unexpected happens, the performance of Wandering Blue Star 2 in the domestic market will definitely be better than that of Black Robe Inspection Team 2! This is still the premise that Yang Ruoqian has done everything he can to reduce the publicity and popularity! "I can't stand this kind of blow." Yang Ruoqian didn't even think of looking at the pile of data, "Next, let's discuss what we should do next quarter."

Qi Mu nodded and roughly summarized the projects that had been confirmed.

Including the zoo plan and Luo Ruying's overseas tour plan.

After listening to this, Yang Ruoqian asked, "What are the plans for Luo Ruzhen's overseas tour?"

Yang Ruoqian and Qi Mu had discussed this issue before, and they reached a unanimous conclusion at the time - to finish the domestic tour first, and then think about the international tour.

Even if overseas audiences are extremely impatient, we cannot rush things.

Qi Mu was stunned for a moment, and said: "The basic arrangement is similar to the domestic tour...but we will design different theme venues according to the different local cultures of different countries, and design different costumes and songs for Luo Rujin. When choosing the venue, we will also try our best to meet the needs of those 'new era' audiences."

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Those who buy tickets for Luo Ruying’s concert, both at home and abroad, are not just traditional fans.

In other words, the proportion of traditional star chasers is not even particularly high.

So after detailed discussions, the operation plans to follow the successful template of domestic concerts and tailor different performance experiences for different fans in each different region.

"No." Yang Ruoqian shook his head seriously. "The idea of ​​international tour cannot be simply applied to the domestic idea, and it cannot be simply changed like this."

Simply, change the skin?

When Qi Mu heard Yang Ruoqian's words, he was shocked for a while.

Except that the AI ​​on the stage is still the original AI, the style, language, clothing and even the lyrics and songs have all changed. Can this be called a skin change? If this is called a skin change, then aren't all concerts in the world skin-changing concerts? I can only say that perhaps the IP of Luo Ruying itself symbolizes the group, so President Yang has particularly high requirements for her.

Qi Mu calmed down, nodded and said, "Boss Yang, do you have any new ideas?"

Yang Ruoqian thought about the cruise plan that Shao Yiqi had agreed to, and replied, "We shouldn't think of a traditional concert when we think of a concert... Although we have made many changes to the concert's setting and put a lot of interactive holographic projectors at the concert, this change is not actually thorough, and it has not completely achieved the 'three-dimensional' effect that I want."

Different from the "three-dimensional" effect of traditional concerts...

Qi Mu thought for a moment: "Boss Yang, how do you plan to design this three-dimensional effect?"

If it were in the past, the secretary would definitely say something like "The concert settings are all temporary. It is impossible to create an exclusive scene just for a concert, and it is impossible to raise the cost of the concert so high."

But since Mr. Yang said this to me face to face, he must have considered all aspects of the problem carefully.

This kind of trivial matter, which everyone knows, will inevitably be covered up.

Yang Ruoqian smiled and said, "Why don't we just put Luo Ruzhen's tour on a giant cruise ship? What do you think?"

Qi Mu was absent-minded for a moment: "Cruise ship?"

"That's right." Yang Ruoqian nodded. "It's really unrealistic to completely transform a traditional concert venue into a scene that is full of science fiction, interaction, and atmosphere... With so many permanent professional equipment, this place can't be used exclusively for Luo Ruying's concerts in the future, right?"

“So, let’s just make this performance venue move.”

"On the deck of the cruise ship, we can design a Luo Rujin-themed sea roller coaster."

"You can arrange various AI-related interactive props and play items in the cabin."

"There are also theme restaurants... shopping malls... nightclubs... We can even make special renovations to the guest rooms on the cruise ship, so that this dream experience from the 'future' will run through the entire journey of all tourists."

“…”

Yang Ruoqian talked a lot, then looked at Qi Mu and said, "What do you think?"

Qi Mu herself liked Luo Rujin very much, and liked that concert even more... When asked this question, she forced herself to suppress her fantasy and personal situation, and said in a businesslike manner: "Mr. Yang, your idea is very good, and it makes people yearn for it, but if we want to do it specifically, there are a few issues that need to be paid attention to."

"First, the ordering of a cruise ship takes years, and if you plan to implement this project, it may be difficult to do it in the next quarter."

Yang Ruoqian waved his hand: "Don't worry about this... Gaoyao Group is engaged in related business. I will let Shao Yiqi go there to negotiate and give us a ready-made one. The only troublesome thing is the handover, but it won't waste much time."

"Mr. Yang has thought it through carefully." The secretary praised him naturally and fluently. "The second problem is about funding... With the current cash flow of the group and the overseas income in recent times, it can only barely cover the expenses of this cruise ship. And the payback period for this kind of cruise ship project is generally quite long."

A zoo is being built here, and an extremely luxurious mobile sea theme park is being built there, and it’s an AI version.

It is because the cash flow of Kuiguang Group is extremely abundant, otherwise even many giant companies with higher turnover cannot sustain this level of expenditure.

Yang Ruoqian smiled and replied, "We have always been farsighted."

Qi Mu was completely convinced by this reason. She nodded gently: "Boss Yang, do you have any other ideas?"

Zoo, concert, marine theme park, Luo Rujin's new movie...

Yang Ruoqian quickly reviewed the project in his mind and said, "Leave some resources for us to launch another variety show next quarter."

Isn’t it true that they can’t lose money? Isn’t it true that movies can no longer stop the group from running wild on the road to making money?

Then I will launch all the projects that can be launched in the entertainment industry in one quarter, and build a large-scale project, start a large-scale war, and kill relatives for the sake of justice. The disaster is coming! Movies can't stop it, variety shows can't stop it, but there is strength in numbers. If I do all the things that can be done in the entertainment industry, can't I stop it?

When the system is upgrading to the international version, it goes completely crazy! (End of this chapter)
