Chapter 454: Harvest Summer Season: Operation Mekong Ready to Set Sail
"Qingyao Media has signed a contract with Zhucheng. Qingyao Media's headquarters will be located in Zhucheng..."
A few days later, a piece of explosive news sparked renewed discussion among netizens: Qingyao Media's headquarters had been established in Zhucheng, and a lot of information about the new headquarters had been revealed.
The first batch of land acquired was 1,000 acres. At the same time, Qingyao Media’s headquarters is a comprehensive headquarters where employees can complete all their daily life tasks without leaving home.
"Once the headquarters is completed, all Qingyao Media employees will enjoy free housing, free medical care, free education and other benefits. Friends who want to join Qingyao Media, take action now!"
Su Yang also posted a message on his Weibo, detailing the benefits that Qingyao Media employees will enjoy after the headquarters is completed.
Free housing, free medical care, and free education—these three benefits have directly motivated countless workers to take action. These benefits are incredible.
The housing conditions are also very good, and Qingyao Media will also build a staff hospital for medical care. As long as the illness is not particularly serious, it can be treated in the staff hospital, and it is free of charge.
As for education, a staff school for Qingyao Media will be built, which will be free from kindergarten to high school. Children will not only not have to pay tuition, but also have to pay for school uniforms and meals.
With benefits like these, I'd be happy even if the salary was lower. You know, for a family, housing, healthcare, and education are the biggest expenses. Now that the company directly covers these three major expenses, there's no pressure on me.
"Fuck, these benefits are so good, I want to work at Qingyao Media..."
"Brother Yang, I'm studying animation production, can I apply for the job?"
"Wow, I want to go to Qingyao Media, but unfortunately their standards are too high..."
"Hahaha, I'm going to Qingyao Media for an interview in a couple of days. I'm studying photography..."
"Welcome everyone, I'm waiting for you at Qingyao Media. I studied game design and have just been working at Qingyao for two months. My life is pretty comfortable..."
"Welcome, welcome. Our President Tang is very pretty and easy to talk to. Come, let me show you our dormitory. We rent three rooms, and it's just for the three of us girls..."
Netizens were buzzing about this. Qingyao Media was already known for its high benefits in the industry, but now they've made another big move.
We will directly build a comprehensive headquarters in Zhucheng with an investment of tens of billions of RMB, and provide integrated welfare benefits after completion.
In China, no entertainment company can afford such a large sum of money. In China, there are not many companies that can be so bold. Usually, those companies are giants with market capitalizations of hundreds of billions or even higher and dare to do such a thing.
But after thinking about it carefully, everyone was relieved. Qingyao Media has the confidence and strength to play this way because Qingyao Media makes money too quickly, often making a lot of money with a small investment. Any TV series or movie can earn hundreds of millions or even more.
Su Yang could earn tens of billions from a single album and a single concert. So, spending tens of billions on a headquarters was perfectly acceptable. Employee benefits weren't a problem for Qingyao Media; the profits from any single film were enough to cover several years' worth of staff salaries.
The events at the headquarters have caused Qingyao Media to be hotly discussed, and for Qingyao Media, the busy days have officially begun.
Su Yang's second concert was also a success. This time, because it didn't use a paid live broadcast model, more people watched the concert online. After a few hours of the concert, the total number of viewers worldwide exceeded 180 million. Such a huge number of viewers also made Qingyao Media very profitable.
Although not as profitable as the Yanjing concert, the net profit after tax for a single concert should still be around 500 to 600 million RMB. This net profit is quite terrifying, and this is just the beginning. Su Yang will hold a concert in the next two weeks, and the entire global tour will last for more than a year.
This concert also allowed Su Yang to gain a lot of fans again, especially a significant increase in the number of hardcore fans and high-quality fans.
The global leek cultivation time has officially begun, and the concert is not difficult for Su Yang. Now Su Yang does not need to go to rehearsal at all, he only needs to fly over and sing for a few hours on the night of the concert.
Time flies, and the summer vacation season officially arrives in July. Qingyao Media is making a lot of moves, preparing so many things for the summer vacation.
In terms of variety shows, "A Longing for Life" and "Sound into the Scene" have been popular for several episodes and have a very good audience base.
In addition to these, Qingyao Media also produced a new variety show this year, "Tucao Conference." Penguin purchased the exclusive rights to this variety show for a high price. The team behind "Tucao Conference" is the same team behind "Su Yang Show." Even the planning for this variety show was done by Su Yang, though he didn't host or guest the show.
The style is similar to "Su Yang Show", but compared with "Su Yang Show", the jokes in "Tucao Conference" seem more sarcastic, and the overall quality is not worse than "Su Yang Show".
However, because there is no Su Yang as the host, the performance of "Tucao Conference" is not as good as "Su Yang Show". However, "Tucao Conference" has a lot of viewers, and many people also like this program after it was broadcast.
Besides variety shows, there's also a lot of activity in TV dramas. "iPartment" and "Wulin Waijia" are both classic IPs from Qingyao Media. This year's new season continues to utilize a pay-per-view model. Since its July launch, on-demand data has been strong, with an average of over 60 million paying viewers.
Just these two TV series have made Qingyao Media earn a lot of money again. And this is not Qingyao Media's trump card.
The real killer trump card is animation. The second season of Qingyao Animation's "Qin's Moon" was officially released on July 1st.
The second season of "Qin's Moon: Night Until Dawn" has a total of 22 episodes, each 45 minutes long. The script is more exciting than the original because Su Yang optimized the entire script using the system. After the optimization, the story is more exciting, the details are more awesome, and the scenes are more grand.
The production level is still movie-level, and the budget for each episode has been increased again to 12 million RMB, and it cannot be spent in vain.
The production cost of the 22-episode cartoon was 264 million RMB, and the quality of this money-spent season is even better than the first season.
Not only that, this time Qingyao Digital also joined in, and adopted technologies such as motion capture to make the characters appear more vivid and their expressions richer, giving the feeling of watching a special effects blockbuster.
The first two episodes of the 22-episode series are free, and the remaining 20 episodes are priced at 5 yuan each. A 10% discount is offered for the entire series.
"Wow, this is even better than the first season. I love it so much..."
"Finally, the second season is here, wow wow wow..."
"I just bought it, but I can't bear to watch it. What should I do? It's gone after I finish watching it..."
"The speed is too slow, but the quality is so good, I like it so much..."
"I've decided to watch one episode a day..."
"It would be great if I could update weekly, but it's difficult since the quality is so high..."
After the release of the second season of Qin's Moon, countless fans of the show flocked to it. Currently, this anime has many fans not only in China, but also abroad.
This animation has already been released overseas and has been screened on multiple platforms in Asia, Europe, etc. The results are also quite impressive. Not to mention other places, it has achieved super abnormal results in China alone.
In China, the first season of Qin's Moon has attracted over 120 million paid viewers. This high number of viewers is also due to the booming sales of Qin's Moon peripheral products, making it a major IP.
After the second part was released, Qingyao Media also lifted the ban on the paid on-demand service for the first part. It can be watched directly on major platforms for free, without even requiring membership.
Fans who have purchased the game don't have any objections to this. After all, it will be released after a year. According to this routine, the second season of Qin's Moon will also be released during the summer vacation next year. However, for the majority of Qin's Moon fans, how can they wait for a year?
So after the second season was updated, a large number of anime fans went to watch the second season, and the paid on-demand data of the entire Qin's Moon also soared rapidly.
If the quality is better than the first season, then according to industry insiders, the paid on-demand data of the second season will definitely be better than the first season.
Even based on the first season's pay-per-view figures, this anime is a money-making machine. The entire pay-per-view box office is likely to soon exceed tens of billions of RMB. What is a money grab? This is it.
Animation is a money-making beast, and everyone in the industry knows it. But many people also envy Qingyao Media. They also want to create amazing animation, but that's not something you can just throw money at. Without a good story, even the most impressive special effects are useless.
In addition to "The Legend of Qin", Qingyao Media is even more impressive in the field of children's animation. In addition to "Peppa Pig", Qingyao Media launched two more children's animation works last year.
After the release of "Paw Patrol" and "Octonauts", these two animations have once again attracted countless children. Now the IP of these two animations has been established, and the peripheral products are selling very well, especially various toys, which directly take money out of children's pockets.
Harvest season. For Qingyao Media, summer vacation is the harvest season.
As the summer vacation season unfolds, there is another work that everyone is paying more attention to.
"Operation Mekong" is scheduled to be released on August 1st. The trailer and release date have already been released, and promotion has also begun.
This is Su Yang's first military blockbuster, and countless viewers are looking forward to this movie. From the trailer, you can see that this movie is very passionate. At the same time, Su Yang also plays the role of a sniper in it. Director Su Yang, screenwriter Su Yang, and Su Yang also plays the role, so for Su Yang's fans, this is a must-see movie this summer, and the Bayi Film Studio is also looking forward to it, hoping that this movie can have better results.
