Monday, President's Office.
After a long conversation with Liu Bi last Friday evening, Yang Ruoqian already had first-hand analysis from professionals.
Yang Ruoqian quickly tapped on the keyboard, quickly organizing the essays he had written down that day into a systematic document.
Liu Bi said that the biggest advantage of the Shelter Company is its extremely low-cost publicity and promotion as well as the settings that are imprinted in the minds of all viewers.
In this way, the audience can reach a wide range and be easily immersed in the film when watching it. They can follow the story without the need for tedious and boring background introductions.
So, even though Mr. Yang himself or some viewers cannot find the highlights of these bad movies, they still have an audience due to their slightly "fan fiction" nature.
Movies and TV series are like buses. The audience is looking for a bus that can get them to their destination, but many people treat it as a taxi and feel that it is not good enough if it does not get them to where they want to go...
And just like what Liu Bi and the other two showed, perhaps in the very beginning this kind of movie can cause great mental damage to the audience, but as long as they slowly adapt and become familiar with this style, the harmful points can be ignored.
When watching a video or playing a game, if the frame rate suddenly drops, it is difficult for most people to adapt. However, if the frame rate remains low, the audience will learn to blink to fill in the gaps.
In that case, doesn't the Shelter Company win in publicity? Just give them a try with an original movie! Let them also experience the pain of not having traffic! Also, if the plot of the movie is not toxic enough, then make the script more nonsensical and let go of yourself! Once the audience gets used to it, then increase the dosage.
There is no audience that cannot be poisoned, only poison that is not in sufficient dosage.
Originally, Yang Ruoqian thought that the screenwriters and scripts of the Shelter Company were too outrageous, but now it seems that they are too restrained.
Then lift the seal!
Anything that Liu Bi thought was good was changed, and anything that Liu Bi thought was bad was strengthened.
And no matter how cruel the changes are, there is no logic at all.
"Qi Mu, I have a suggestion form here. Please contact the shelter company for me and send it to them. If you have any opinions, you may also share them with me."
Qi Mu, who was waiting for the task to be passed down next door, saw the document, glanced at it roughly, and couldn't help but feel a little impressed by Yang Ruoqian's work attitude.
Last time, after dinner, she was sent back home, saying that she was not allowed to work overtime...
But it is obvious that such a detailed requirements list could not have been prepared just now.
Detailed issues such as the advantages of film promotion and marketing, disadvantages of originality, etc. can all be raised so professionally and specifically.
It looks simple, but it is actually not easy.
Mr. Yang doesn't allow others to work overtime, but he himself works overtime...
This is an example, this is a leader.
The current success of Kuiguang and its ability to gather so many loyal employees are inseparable from the efforts of Yang Ruoqian himself.
It was not until recently that he finally found a secretary assistant like himself.
Qi Mu sighed and replied, "Boss Yang, I'm very sorry. Shelter Company is the first company in China to try this track. I can't provide you with a suitable reference sample to give you advice."
As for subjective suggestions, that is even more difficult to say.
Qi Mu himself doesn't watch the low-quality movies produced by the Shelter Company, but does this mean that these movies have no market? After sending this message, Qi Mu immediately called the Shelter Company on his landline and sent over Yang Ruoqian's opinions and suggestions.
After Yang Ruoqian finished the file, he deleted all document software at the speed of light, opened the game client, and started the game match.
Matching success...
Choose a character... Start the game...
Just as Yang Ruoqian was rubbing his hands excitedly, preparing for a thrilling game, a teammate suddenly posted a message on the public screen.
"I'm sorry, everyone. My boss suddenly asked me to go to a meeting. I can't play this game anymore. Let's give it away. Please add me as a V when I get out. I'll give everyone a 20 yuan red envelope."
After typing this line of text, the game screen will show that this person has quit the game.
Yang Ruoqian: “???”
I need your 20 bucks for Crazy Thursday, right?
I finally got a chance to slack off at work, and this is it? Being backstabbed by employees in business is fine, but being backstabbed by teammates in a game?
…
Meanwhile, Shelter Inc.
"Boss Cai Meng, why did you suddenly call us to a meeting?" A man with messy hair and dark circles under his eyes walked into the meeting room sleepily. "Didn't I tell you that the company's decisions will be left to you? We don't understand these things either."
The entire company is now in a very stable profit situation, and the latest movie has just been completed. Many people in the company who have nothing to do just start playing games.
Who knew that he had just played his first game today and hadn't even warmed up when Cai Meng called him over.
Not only did he not finish the game, he also gave each teammate a red envelope of 20 yuan, a total of 80 yuan was thrown away.
Uncomfortable.
Cai Meng asked him to sit down and said, "Okay, stop complaining. The headquarters sent us a document. Let's take a look."
"Documents?" Someone in the conference room suddenly raised a puzzled voice. "Didn't they say in the previous contract that the group would not interfere with our internal decision-making?"
Cai Meng nodded: "Yes... But what was the purpose of adding this clause to the acquisition contract?"
Someone quickly responded: “We’re worried that the group doesn’t understand our strategy, thinks our knockoff movies have no future, and orders us around.”
"The document from Kuiguang Group did not direct us this time." Cai Meng smiled and shook his head. "On the contrary, President Yang not only supports us, but even thinks we are too conservative and hopes that we can let our creativity run wild."
Having said that, Cai Meng couldn't help but look at his phone again.
Kuiguang Group, Yang Ruoqian... are really different.
Like many other leaders, they more or less like to meddle in areas they don't understand, as if they cannot show their presence without making a few comments.
He wants both the substance and the face, and he will make a fuss if you don't give them what they want.
Everyone at the Shelter Company was originally worried that Yang Ruoqian would think they were letting themselves go too much, but it turns out that Mr. Yang thinks they are not letting themselves go enough and are too restricted?
"Boss Yang thinks we're too conservative?!" The guy who was playing the game before looked up in astonishment when he heard this. "No, we've filmed like this, but he still thinks we're too conservative?"
My goodness, the people of the Shelter Company never thought that they would be called "conservatives" one day! In the eyes of outsiders, they are too radical, and in the eyes of the Kuiguang Group, they are too conservative.
It is worthy of being a reputable company and worthy of being President Yang.
Cai Meng nodded and said, "Yes, Mr. Yang thinks that we don't necessarily need to go the piracy route. If conditions permit, it's also possible to bring our ideas into original movies."
"He also said that our current movies are too logical and can be more imaginative. Wouldn't it be better if we bring these elements into original movies?"
"Any inspiration is purest and most attractive when it first comes to us... He suggested that we write whatever we think of directly into the script and don't change it after writing it. Maybe it will work wonders."
“…Even if the attempt fails, the group guarantees that it will not pursue responsibility, will not reduce investment, and may even make additional investments.”
After Cai Meng finished reading the message conveyed by Qi Mu, the conference room fell into a long silence.
"What do you think of the group's suggestion?"
The senior executives of the shelter companies attending the meeting looked at each other, and saw the same thing in each other's eyes.
"good!"
"I agree!"
"Sure! Mr. Yang is such a down-to-earth person!"
"Old Cai, joining Kui Guang's team is the best decision you have ever made in your life."
"I've wanted to say this for a long time. I want to try to create something original again, but I was afraid you would beat me up, so I didn't dare to say it."
"Which filmmaker really wants to make a knockoff movie? Who doesn't have a dream to pursue?"
Seeing that the conference room was about to turn into a vegetable market, Cai Meng coughed lightly, signaling everyone to be quiet.
In fact, he was also very excited when he first saw the proposal.
Before Shelter switched to making copycat films, it was also a serious film company that focused on producing small-scale high-quality films!
These people are elites who came out of big production companies!
However, they could not make much money from making a successful movie, and faced the high risk of losing a lot of money in case of failure, so they chose to find another way and found a big mountain to rely on.
Now Dashan told them that they could boldly display their talents. Who wouldn't be excited? Cai Meng put away his phone and said solemnly, "Okay, in line with our company's fine tradition, we will try to make our next movie according to Mr. Yang's requirements. How about that?"
"Then how can we truly let go of ourselves and let our imagination run wild?" Someone immediately raised a question, "Mr. Yang means that we should not think too much and just write down whatever comes to mind?"
"That should be what it means..."
"Everyone, Mr. Yang gave an idea in his proposal. Are you interested in listening to it?"
"What idea?"
"He thinks we can use another new way of thinking to write the script - script relay, I say a plot, and then it's the next person's turn... In this way, we can combine the strengths of hundreds of people and the inspiration of all of us, and the movie we make will definitely be a big hit!"
As soon as these shocking remarks were made, the noisy conference room suddenly became as quiet as a library.
Drama...Script chain?!
Even the top executives of the Shelter Company, who had extremely smart brains, were stunned after hearing this.
Not to mention something with high logic like a script, even if you are playing an idiom chain game in your daily life, if you are not careful you will end up going from "do whatever you want" to "I am a thief."
After all, everyone's brain circuits are different.
Even if several top screenwriters work together to write a script, the final result is likely to be a piece of shit.
If we really have to do a script relay and we can't change the script, I dare not imagine what kind of crazy thing will come out in the end.
Someone immediately raised an objection: "Are you kidding me?! Doing this..."
But at this moment, the screenwriter who had given Yang Ruoqian a 20 yuan red envelope stood up, excited and serious:
"How come it's just a joke?"
"Boss Yang, the boss of such a big group, is it necessary for you to play such a joke on us?"
"Everyone, please think back, when we said we wanted to make a illogical copycat movie, did others think of us in the same way? Did they also think we were joking and that we would never succeed?"
"But what about the end?"
"And now? Are some people afraid of innovation? We rely on pioneering new ways, so why are we sliding towards conservatism?"
"Mr. Yang is right. We have become intoxicated with our current success and have forgotten how we succeeded in the past!"
"I support Mr. Yang's suggestion. I fully support it! Cai Meng, please don't forget our original intention. Don't let the Shelter Company become ordinary!"
After a tearful and heart-touching speech, all those who thought Yang Ruoqian's suggestion was unreliable were stunned.
yes……
When did they start to fall into the cliché? Have they really become conservatives? Why did Mr. Yang, who usually doesn't care about the company's business, suddenly send such a document when the company is thriving? For someone who is in charge of a multi-billion-dollar business, every word and action has its meaning...
The Shelter Company must have become corrupt and fallen! Mr. Yang saw it and was worried.
But fortunately, it was discovered in time! "I also agree with the group's suggestion!"
“Second.”
"Boss Yang really did wake me up with his words."
"Script chain, what a creative and thoughtful way to succeed! Mr. Yang is truly a genius."
The top executives of the Shelter Company quickly reached a consensus.
People who open up blue ocean industries and start their careers through innovation hate being called conservatives the most.
This is worse than taking their lives.
"Stop talking nonsense and let's get started... I'll go first. I'll name the movie, um, let's call it "Sharknado". Next, it's your turn, Lao Guo."
"Then I'll do it. This story takes place in the Rocky Mountains. The protagonist is a billiard hall owner. He is a very calm person. Even when he is swimming in the ocean and being chased by sharks, he remains calm. Next one."
A woman continued to speak according to the character setting: "One day, when he was running his own billiard hall, an urgent news report suddenly appeared on TV, saying that a new storm had appeared, and it was in the city where they were. Next, Lao Cai, it's your turn."
Cai Meng sorted out the movie title and plot, and slowly said: "So the boss immediately began to organize people to evacuate the guests, but in the next second, a shark broke through the window accompanied by a tornado, swallowed several customers, and came to a female employee... Next one."
"Well, the female employee picked up the pool cue from the table and stabbed the shark to death with one blow. The next one..."
"...Next." (End of this chapter)
