Chapter 36 The base salary is 3,000
Yi He heard clearly what they had just said, and quickly searched for relevant information, and came to a conclusion that the money was worth investing.
"I made several million yuan from my own media business before, and I saved the pocket money my family gave me. I bought most of it in various financial products. I have about three million yuan left in my disposable funds. I can invest two to three million yuan. The details are up to you."
Yi He counted on his fingers and came up with a number.
Su Ziyu's expression was a little complicated. He looked at Yi He and couldn't help but ask a question.
“Is this how you make money as a self-media person?”
"I started playing Yinlang when it first came out. Later, when I started selling products and putting up links, I started live streaming to teach others how to operate it, how to put up products and put up links, and I made my first million by teaching. Later, I started blogging myself, and I made a lot of money by taking advertisements and selling products. Actually, I didn't do it seriously. I basically just went out to play and took some materials. Maybe the atmosphere I created was quite high-end, so I attracted a lot of fans."
Yi He shared his entrepreneurial experience. It sounded like making money was as easy as drinking water. Su Ziyu felt jealous. Self-media was making so much money, so what was the point of him being a celebrity?
"Look at it this way. The reason for his success may be that he already has money. Money always flows to those who already have money."
Xu Qingye sighed. He probably understood why Yihe attracted so many fans. He unconsciously showed off his wealth and shared the happy life of the rich second generation. This kind of personality was very likable, and many companies even packaged it. Yihe himself was a rich second generation, so it was naturally easy for him to do it.
Xu Qingye looked at Yi He carefully, and the more he looked, the more he liked him. This little golden boy was really likable. He touched his chin and gave Yi He a somewhat obscene smile.
"Dude, you're a rich second-generation, can we discuss something?"
"Boss, you don't have to be so polite." Yi He looked at Xu Qingye's expression and was a little wary.
"Since we are so wealthy, can the base salary be changed to 3,000?"
Xu Qingye felt a little embarrassed. His startup fund was limited, so he had to save as much as he could.
Yi He probably didn't expect Xu Qingye to be so shameless, and sneered.
"What do you think? Why don't you just say you're paid to work?"
"I'm just kidding. Stop being so humorless. Let's talk about investing."
Xu Qingye laughed twice and quickly changed the subject.
Su Ziyu didn't make a lot of money, but his girlfriend was rich. Jiang Boqi was a top star with a strong ability to attract money, so he could have paid out all 10 million. However, Xu Qingye and Yi He also wanted to make money, so it was finally decided that Jiang Boqi and Su Ziyu would jointly contribute 5 million, and Xu Qingye and Yi He would each contribute 2.5 million.
"Boss, you are also a rich second generation."
Yi He was a little surprised when he first received Xu Qingye's home address. The price of a single-family villa in this area is not low. Although it is an old community, it was once prosperous.
Xu Qingye lives here alone, and the decoration of his house is quite exquisite, so it should not be simple. Now he can easily spend 2.5 million, so it is obvious that he has some wealth.
"I'm a first-generation entrepreneur. This house is the only thing I have left that's worth something. If I start another, I might even lose the house."
Xu Qingye didn't explain anything. After taking out 2.5 million, he really had no money left. It would take at least two years to make back the money. There were layers of procedures from the filming of the TV series to its successful release. Only after it was broadcast would the real money start to be made, and the broadcast cycle was more than two months.
TV dramas make money mainly from advertising, rebroadcasting and various copyright fees. The settlement cycle is also very long, and getting the money back within two years is considered fast.
How to spend this period of time is also a problem. Xu Qingye thought that he still had to dig up some big melons to get some hush money or something.
This was the first time Su Ziyu had brought money into the group. After thinking about it for a while, he began to worry.
"What if someone finds out that I brought money into the group? I already have a lot of haters, and this will become a handle on me."
Su Ziyu imagined herself being scolded as a resourceful person and couldn't help but shudder.
"It's not shameful to bring money into the production, and there's a clear order of priority. The first one to invest goes to the first group. You passed the audition, and I heard the crew was short of money, so you volunteered to fill the gap, not to buy the role. Remember that?"
Xu Qingye sorted out his words. There wasn't a single falsehood in them. He just omitted some causes and consequences and blurred some concepts, but no one could refute his statement.
Su Ziyu recited this sentence silently and gave Xu Qingye a thumbs up. Marketing accounts are indeed the best at confusing right and wrong.
After chatting for a while and agreeing on the investment with the crew, Xu Qingye sent everyone away and sat on the sofa to watch "The Emperor's League" again.
"The Emperor's League" has been aired for most of the time, and there is really no longer any accurate shot. As for the soldier character, it flashed by and it was difficult to take a screenshot.
Half of the broadcast was spent crying at Su Siheng's grave, and the one-minute shot was cut into various versions. When a little bit of the behind-the-scenes footage of "A Summer Named After You" was leaked, it was finally played out in a new way.
There are indeed a lot of crying scenes in "A Summer Named After You". The crew released several clips, including suppressed crying, heart-wrenching crying, and aggrieved crying. In short, the crying is very layered.
So recently Shen Que's videos have become more diverse. A very famous videographer edited a Narcissus scene with Gu Li and Su Siheng for Shen Que.
The general plot is that the modern teenager Gu Li keeps dreaming of a person. In the dream, the person is wearing a moon-white robe and his figure is as light as a banished immortal. At first, he can't see the person's face clearly, but later the dream becomes clearer and clearer. As the dream becomes clearer, Gu Li sees his whole life.
Su Siheng's life was an unsuccessful one, but also very exciting. Gu Li was attracted to him and wanted to explore more, so he went to bed earlier every day. However, the dream that he once easily entered could no longer be entered. The person in the dream seemed to have gone far away and cut off the little connection with him.
Gu Li began to become anxious and worried. He swallowed pills in big gulps to force himself to sleep more, looking forward to meeting in his dreams.
Finally, after swallowing a handful of sleeping pills, he fell asleep again, but the man in the dream was lying alone in the carriage and had lost his life.
Gu Li watched the people in the carriage crying heartbreakingly, and his dream shattered bit by bit, and finally fell into endless darkness...
The blogger did a great job of editing. Although the story is simple, it is really not easy to edit it into this form because there is so little material.
At the end of the story, Gu Li and Su Siheng fell asleep together, and they finally met in another world.
Xu Qingye watched this video several times, and sometimes he couldn't help but marvel at human imagination. How could these things be cut out of two unrelated pieces of material?
Xu Qingye bought promotion for this video and used several accounts to market it a little.
Shen Que has many marketing points, but Xu Qingye only promoted the term #beautiful crying scene#. Others cannot see the other things for the time being, and they won’t feel anything even if they are praised.
Xu Qingye mixed some good crying scenes in the circle with Shen Que's, and posted a few review videos.
"Why do you have to mix it with other people's videos? Isn't it good to be beautiful alone?"
Cao Muan was watching Xu Qingye's actions beside him, not quite understanding them. She would usually see some reviews, and it was easy to be compared. Shen Que and the other people Xu Qingye edited were obviously not of the same level, so it was easy for them to be compared by other people's fans, which was actually quite disadvantageous for Shen Que.
"Birds of a feather flock together. I edited Shen Que's videos together with these people to try to elevate their status. Being compared to them means that the gap between them is not that big. If a person is always compared with a bunch of random people, then the impression given will also be a mess. On the contrary, I edited Shen Que's videos together with these classic shots, and over time they will become classics.
Of course, this is risky. If Shen Que performs too poorly, he will become a laughing stock. But it is obvious that Shen Que's performance is excellent and is not much worse when compared with others."
Xu Qingye played the video he had edited again. It was a list of crying scenes, and the excerpts were all classic shots. When the scenes played to the solemn part, it didn't feel abrupt at all. On the contrary, it was easy to be drawn into the scene when seeing him crying.
Cao Muan watched it and felt that Shen was indeed not inferior to others.
"Now that you mention it, it's true. I actually had the illusion that Shen Que has been in this industry for many years."
"Write the monthly report for me. I'm going to pick up Shen Que. Shen Que will be back today."
The crew had finished filming, and Shen Que called Xu Qingye. Xu Qingye hadn't seen him for a long time. He had agreed to pick him up, and he didn't have time to talk to Cao Muan, so he just threw a job to her.
After finishing filming Shen Que's scenes, Fang Xiaoqi also had to go back to Su Ziyu's side. After all, she was just a temporary assistant.
After spending almost three months with Shen Que, Fang Xiaoqi still couldn't bear to leave him. Shen Que was easy to get along with and had no airs. It was a pleasure to work beside him.
"When you sign with an agency, if you don't have a suitable assistant, be sure to contact me. Brother Su has a lot of assistants, so it won't matter if I'm gone."
Xu Qingye's car had already stopped, and Fang Xiaoqi reluctantly helped Shen Que put the things in the trunk.
"Once I've confirmed my agency, I'll definitely contact you."
Shen Que nodded. Fang Xiaoqi worked diligently and he had no dissatisfaction. Instead of getting used to the new assistant, it would be a good choice to continue working with her.
After getting in the car, Xu Qingye started the car. Fang Xiaoqi stood there for a long time before leaving.
Xu Qingye looked at the image in the rearview mirror with a slightly sarcastic look.
"You are quite charming. I can't bear to part with you."
"It's much worse than you."
"You are too modest."
Xu Qingye smiled, thinking that Shen Que was joking. He had been very law-abiding recently, but he hadn't done anything wrong. He worked diligently every day, and only used Yihe's five-star hotel membership card a few times when he was filming, mainly to do a better job.
There hasn't been much news recently. I've mainly been attending some media and business events, and writing some promotional articles to earn some fees.
I have to praise a bad movie against my will. The money is not easy to earn, so it’s not excessive to reward myself.
"I've made an appointment with someone from Brilliant Films and will be having an interview in two days. If everything goes well, I should be able to sign the contract. I plan to attend classes during this time. I missed a lot of classes during the filming."
The acting teacher Xu Qingye found for Chen Que still had some unfinished courses, and he would continue when he had time after filming was wrapped. He was afraid that he would be busy again after a while.
Chen Que doesn't have an agency for the time being, but he has received many job offers and scripts. Unfortunately, none of them are particularly outstanding. They are all small crews that want to take advantage of Chen Que's popularity.
The only good thing was the magazine invitation, but it was just a photo shoot for the inside pages, which did not take up a large amount of space. Shen Que did not accept any work for the time being. Firstly, he felt that he did not have the professional vision to judge the quality of these jobs, and secondly, he wanted to have a good rest. This drama was very tiring to shoot, and the large number of crying scenes consumed too much of his emotions. He needed to adjust himself.
"Don't worry about going to class yet. I've arranged a graduation trip for you. Even though it's a little late, you still have to go on it. Otherwise, your life will be incomplete."
