Chapter 418: Instructions
"Sister K, who is this Chen Yao?"
Cai Yinong explained with a smile: "The newcomer who just signed with the company is only 18 years old and is still in high school. He plans to apply for the Beijing Film Academy next year."
Liu Shishi frowned and said, "Sister K, there are already quite a few female artists in the company! Nazha, Bingqing, Jinchen, and Xiaoting. They all need resources to be cultivated."
"I know that Tangren will not sign any more female artists in the short term." Cai Yinong nodded in agreement, and then changed the subject and could not hide his excitement, "But Chen Yao is a good seedling, I plan to focus on training her."
"Sister K, you want to focus on training this newcomer?" Liu Shishi was a little surprised.
Sister K had always considered Guli Nazha her successor, but she suddenly changed her mind. “What about Nazha?”
When Gulinaza was mentioned, Cai Yinong flew into a rage: "She disappoints me so much!
A while ago, she was in a relationship at school, and I just helped her suppress the matter and deal with her ex-boyfriend! But now she is flirting with a fast boy again. "
"Naza is in love again?" Hu Ge was stunned when she heard this. Before, Naza's love affair was known to everyone in the company, and Sister K was furious.
It turned out that the little girl didn't learn her lesson. Not long after that, she violated Sister K's taboo again.
Liu Shishi nodded slightly, and she understood Sister K's anger to some extent.
Ever since that day when she heard Na Zha comparing her rich second-generation boyfriend with her husband, she felt a little more disgusted with Na Zha. Who is worthy of being compared with her beloved Mr. Song?
"Naza has no self-awareness at all! She is too beautiful and is not popular with girls. Most of her fans are male.
I deliberately helped her to establish a pure persona, but she ended up having one relationship after another, as if she was afraid that the collapse wouldn't happen fast enough."
Cai Yinong became angrier and angrier as he spoke, and was extremely disappointed with Gulinaza. "She is simply a hopeless case. From now on, the company's film and television resources and business resources will no longer be inclined towards her."
Hu Ge listened and shook her head. Celebrities should be cautious when dating, especially at the beginning of their careers: "Sister K, do you want Chen Yao to take over Shishi's job in the future?"
"right!"
"Do you have a photo of Chen Yao?" Liu Shishi became interested. She wanted to see what kind of girl Sister K cared about her so much and how high hopes were placed on her before she even made her debut.
"Yes." Cai Yinong took out his mobile phone and opened the photo album.
Liu Shishi took the phone and looked at it curiously, only to see a young and lively girl appear on the screen.
Chen Yao has soft facial lines, delicate features, and a pair of particularly lively big eyes. However, there is a bit of coolness in his temperament, which is very special.
Cai Yinong added: "She is 170cm tall, with a slender frame and a great sense of camera. She stands and walks very straight, with relaxed shoulders and back, and her body management is impeccable."
After looking at a few photos, Liu Shishi nodded in agreement: "She is still young. She will be a beautiful lady in a few years when she fully grows up."
Hu Ge took the phone during Yijie's comments and after looking at Chen Yao's photo, she also approved:
"The little girl looks very smart, and her cute and intellectual appearance makes her easy to be liked by girls.
If you run it well, you will have a lot of female fans. In the entertainment industry now, whoever wins the female fans wins the world.”
Seeing that the top female and male employees in the company both recognized Chen Yao's appearance, Cai Yinong immediately smiled and felt that he had finally chosen the right person this time!
At this time, a sound of footsteps came from the stairs. The three of them looked up and saw Song Ci walking slowly down from the second floor.
Liu Shishi immediately stood up and went to meet him, gently holding her husband's arm, with a concerned look on her face: "Honey, are you feeling better?"
Hu Ge and Cai Yinong quickly stood up and greeted him in unison: "Director Song."
"It's basically nothing serious. You've been lying down for too long. Get up and move around." Song Ci stretched his muscles and bones. His voice was very soft, his face still a little pale, hiding his fatigue.
"You still need to rest more." Liu Shishi was considerate and helped Song Ci sit down on the sofa.
"Mr. Cai, Hu Ge, please take a seat." Song Ci raised his hand to signal the two of them not to be polite. "How is Tangren's recent development?"
"Thanks to you and Shishi, the company's net profit last year and this year has remained stable at around 100 million." Cai Yinong's face showed joy and his tone was cheerful.
Tangren Media produced "Startling by Each Step" last year and "Xuan-Yuan Sword" this year, both of which were phenomenal hits. Together with the web series customized for Toutiao Video, the profits were considerable and the company made a fortune.
"We must seize the opportunity and strive to list on the A-share market within three years. Once we miss this window, it will be even more difficult to go public in the future."
Song Ci was half leaning on the sofa, his voice sounded a little weak and he looked listless, but there was an unquestionable certainty in his words.
Cai Yinong's heart suddenly shook, and she instantly felt a sense of urgency. She knew that Song Ci would never speak without a purpose, and was about to ask for advice, but she heard the richest man continue to explain the reason.
"The film and television industry has been booming unprecedentedly in the past two years, with capital pouring into the entertainment industry. Any film and television company with a bit of strength is gearing up to go public.
The regulatory authorities cannot just leave it alone forever. They will definitely introduce strict control policies within three years at most. Therefore, these three years are the key bonus period. Once the opportunity is missed, the road to listing will be far away.”
Cai Yinong couldn't help but fall into deep thought. The richest man has always been far-sighted. Since he made such a judgment, the future pattern of the film and television industry is basically correct.
Hu Ge, who was standing by, secretly sweated after listening to the richest man's analysis of the future of the industry. He had been looking forward to Tangren going public as soon as possible.
"Mr. Song, to be honest, Tangren Film and Television has had decent profits in the past two years, but I'm not completely sure about the road ahead." Cai Yinong frowned slightly, looking worried.
The eldest sister will probably retire from the entertainment industry and return to her family next year or the year after, and the eldest brother is unwilling to film for the company.
She originally planned to spend three to five years training new people before going public, but according to the richest man's prediction, Tangren's listing plan would have to be adjusted.
"The Tang people still have a lot of good cards to play." Song Ci had nothing to do, so for Liu Shishi's sake, he decided to give Cai Yinong some pointers.
“Taking advantage of the hit effect of Xuan-Yuan Sword, we should immediately start developing a sequel.
Not only will we be filming TV series, but we will also be extending the big IP of "Xuan-Yuan Sword" to include animation, games, and peripheral products.
We can work with game companies to launch the Xuan-Yuan Sword mobile game and quickly monetize the popularity of the series.”
Cai Yinong's face was serious, and he listened attentively. At this moment, after the richest man's advice, he felt that his thoughts suddenly became clear:
"Thank you for your advice, Mr. Song. I understand. I will start the project of the sequel to Xuan-Yuan Sword, Yun Zhi Han, when I get back."
"Games and selling goods are both good ways to realize profits. Tangren has the advantage of traffic, so we can open a Taobao store and make money easily."
"Huace Film & TV has rapidly expanded its scale through mergers and acquisitions. Tangren can do the opposite and break through with "small but fine" and focus on creating low-cost, high-reputation works and more online dramas."
"If the A-share review is delayed, you can also consider backdoor listing to avoid policy risks."
This was the advice given by the richest man himself. Cai Yinong listened to every word and memorized them all in his heart. He was determined to implement them in detail when he returned.
Cai Yinong had a great harvest. Seeing that the richest man looked tired, he did not dare to disturb him any longer and said goodbye to Hu Ge and left.
Song Ci took a short break, had a simple lunch, and prepared to go to the company.
Seeing this, Liu Shishi's face flashed with displeasure, and she pulled her husband distressedly: "Yi Yi, you are sick, and you are still thinking about work."
Seeing his wife blocking his way, Song Ci explained in a gentle voice: "I have an urgent matter. I will be back after I have arranged it at the company."
He will go to Russia with his leader in a few days to attend the APEC meeting.
The trip was to take the opportunity to strategically invest in Russian Internet company DST and negotiate the acquisition of gaming company Astrum Online.
In order for Tenda to strengthen its layout in the Russian-speaking market and pave the way for accelerating global expansion, it must be prepared in advance.
"Then I'll go with you, so I can take care of you."
Song Ci readily agreed: "Okay! Speaking of which, you haven't been to Tengda for a while. The potted plants you put in my office are growing well."
Time flies, and it is noon on September 5th three days later.
The scorching afternoon sun penetrated the floor-to-ceiling windows, casting a swaying shadow in front of the check-in counter, where a reporter from Xiangnan TV was eagerly waiting.
At 1:15, a beautiful figure appeared at the entrance to the station. Here comes the Golden Eagle Goddess Liu Shishi!
This most popular actress at the moment wore a wide-brimmed straw hat with the brim pulled down low, but it couldn't hide the curve of her lips.
A mint green chiffon long skirt fluttered lightly with her steps, and a pair of very interesting "mandarin duck slippers" under the skirt were particularly eye-catching: the left foot was indigo tie-dyed, and the right foot had emerald green patterns, as if she was stepping on the clouds.
What makes people even more amused is that she has a fan-made doll bag with a Q version of Ruoxi from "Scarlet Heart" printed on it slung across her right shoulder, which sways gently with her brisk steps.
"Teacher Shishi, please come this way!" The reporter squeezed through the crowd holding the microphone of Mango TV, "The Golden Eagle flies high, the world is brilliant, I am Yang Jian, the reporter of Golden Eagle Live.
At this moment, I am in the departure hall of Beijing Capital International Airport, and the person I am waiting for is this year's Golden Eagle Goddess Liu Shishi!"
The first sister looked up when she heard the voice, her straw hat slid to the back of her head, her amber pupils were filled with golden sunlight, and her unmade-up cheeks were flushed with excitement.
The reporter smiled and greeted: "Teacher Shishi, nice to see you again!"
"Haha!" Liu Shishi's hearty laughter, with a bit of magic, echoed in the airport hall.
"Congratulations on being elected the Golden Eagle Goddess! How have your preparations been these days?"
Sister Yi smiled brightly: "I will start learning the moves after I get to Star City today."
"Teacher Liu, is there anything special you want to do when you go to Star City this time?"
Liu Shishi laughed again, her tone straightforward and casual: "I'm still waiting to go to Xingcheng to eat crayfish."
After saying this, I felt a little embarrassed and made a playful gesture to keep quiet.
As Yang Jian looked slightly stunned, Liu Shishi took the boarding pass handed to her by her assistant and suddenly turned to face the camera of the fans who were following her.
He raised his left hand to make an "L" sign and blinked his eyes smartly: "See you in Star City, Golden Eagle Festival, here I come!"
The reporter followed Liu Shishi all the way and boarded her private plane together.
"Teacher Liu, is this Mr. Song's plane?" Yang Jian looked around the cabin curiously. It was his first time to ride in a private plane. The modified interior was exceptionally spacious and comfortable, which was a novelty for him.
"This Gulfstream G200 is what I usually use when traveling. He also has a larger Gulfstream G650." Liu Shishi curled up in the window seat, her tone relaxed and comfortable.
Yang Jian was slightly stunned. He didn't expect that Liu Shishi's family bought two planes. He couldn't help but sigh at the generosity of the richest family.
He shook his head, shook off his chaotic thoughts, and continued to work: "Teacher Liu, what do you usually do on the plane?"
"Go to sleep!" Liu Shishi said, and then laughed.
“Besides sleeping?”
"I can't do much else, otherwise I'd just read a book." Liu Shishi's cheeks flushed slightly. When she was in Donghai and Jinling, she spent most of her time catching up on sleep on the plane in order to rush back to Peking to meet her husband.
After answering a few more questions and collecting a lot of material, Yang Jian stopped working and focused on enjoying the flight and experiencing the private jet trip.
Outside the porthole, the sea of clouds was rolling. Liu Shishi looked at the skyline and hummed the tune of "Golden Eagle Flying High".
As night falls, Xiangnan TV prepares a five-star hotel room for the Golden Eagle Goddess.
After washing up, Liu Shishi applied expensive high-end skin care products while video chatting with her husband on WeChat.
"You're on the hot search again." The husband's voice came from the screen, "That reporter has good writing skills. He wrote, 'A true goddess never dances in the clouds, but blends the starlight into the fireworks of the world.' Netizens all praised you for dressing down to earth and being friendly!"
Liu Shishi smiled slightly: "It's worth it that I treated them to a meal of crayfish. But to be honest, netizens are quite hypocritical.
Liying also has a set of clothes similar to mine. When I wore it, everyone praised me for being down-to-earth, but when she wore it, netizens criticized her for being rustic. "
After sighing, she continued, "Honey, do you think I can win the Golden Eagle Award for Best Actress this time?"
Song Ci is confident that his wife will win the award: "The crystal cup is based on popularity. With your popularity, it will be easy for you to win the Golden Eagle Award for Best Actress."
"Yiyi, you're wrong!" Liu Shishi shook her head, "The Golden Eagle Festival is the Golden Eagle Festival, and the Golden Eagle Award is the Golden Eagle Award. The two are not the same thing."
Song Ci was stunned for a moment. He had never paid attention to these things.
Seeing her husband's confused expression, Liu Shishi quickly explained: "The Golden Eagle Award is one of the three major television awards, hosted by the Federation of Literary and Art Circles and the Television Association.
The Golden Eagle Festival is a comprehensive television art festival centered on the Golden Eagle Awards. It is hosted by Hunan Optoelectronics and held in Star City.
It includes a series of activities such as award ceremonies, industry forums, and celebrity interactions, similar to a "TV drama carnival."
Song Ci suddenly realized and secretly complained in his heart that the Golden Eagle Festival and the Golden Eagle Award have similar names and are closely related. Unless you pay special attention to the entertainment industry, who would deliberately distinguish the difference between the two.
"The Crystal Cup is the most popular actor and actress award at the Golden Eagle Awards. I have a good chance of winning it."
When talking about popularity, Liu Shishi looked very proud. She has never lost in terms of popularity and traffic.
"I understand. The Golden Eagle Award winner should be the Golden Eagle Award's Best Actress, right?"
Liu Shishi nodded: "Yes! But the official title is "Audience Favorite Actress", and the gold cup is awarded. I don't know if I can get it."
"I think it's okay. Since the audience likes it, who can have more fans than you!" Song Ci cheered for his wife.
"Don't think too much about it. If you don't win an award this time, just work harder next time. You still have to rehearse tomorrow and step on that ugly eagle. Go to bed early."
Liu Shishi covered her mouth and chuckled. Ever since her husband saw her appearance design, he has complained about her costumes and props.
