Gaoyao Group does not have many industries related to entertainment, and Shao Changfeng himself is just a film and television fan at most.
This time I went to Jinhai to inspect the Kuiguang Group, and I could also take a look at these new things that I have never come across before.
But when he saw the so-called "film set" of the Shelter Company, even someone as calm as Shao Changfeng couldn't help but be stunned.
The atmosphere on the crude set was not dull. A group of hurried staff members were constantly moving various second-hand dynamic props. The scene was messy. It was hard to imagine what kind of movie could be shot in such an environment.
Cai Meng silently recited Mr. Yang's name in his heart and introduced with a proud expression: "Mr. Shao, this is our studio. Your future projects will also be completed here!"
As a professional filmmaker, he certainly knew the level of his own studio, but he would rather lose face than reputation. In addition, he had the solid backing of the Kuiguang Group. As long as he showed the right attitude and told the truth, he would surely impress Shao Changfeng.
In fact, Shao Changfeng was indeed moved.
To be more precise, it's a bit unbearable.
No matter what, Kuiguang Group is a large enterprise with sufficient cash flow and a valuation of over ten billion. How could a movie set be so shabby?
Did you swallow the funds allocated by the headquarters?
But on second thought, it doesn’t seem like it.
Based on the homework he had done in the past two days and his understanding of the Shelter Company, this company was indeed focused on reducing costs and increasing efficiency, but he didn't expect that it could reduce costs and increase efficiency to such an extent...
Moreover, a group that is so valued by his son must not be simple and must have its charm.
We must dig out this charm and bring it to our own company! Shao Changfeng, who was looking for the answer, nodded and said something against his will: "Not bad, not bad, very down-to-earth... Which celebrities are there? Can you introduce them to me?"
Cai Meng saw that Shao Changfeng not only drank up the lemon tea worth a few dollars, but also saw that such a shabby set could attract praise from the big boss. His admiration for Yang Ruoqian reached an unprecedented level.
The fact that Yang Ruoqian was able to provide the best solution to a client's sudden visit in just a few words at Kuiguang Group shows that he not only understands the shelter company, which has hardly ever been there, but also understands Cai Meng's character and knows what his "normal reaction" is.
It is not easy to know both yourself and your enemy, but to achieve the current situation, Mr. Yang needs an even more terrifying ability.
Understand Gaoyao Group and understand Shao Changfeng’s character!
Know yourself, know your subordinates, and know your customers. All three are indispensable...
And after doing all this, Mr. Yang went straight home from get off work and went on vacation, obviously confident in his judgment.
How can a man in his twenties do all of the above? Cai Meng sighed as he walked into the studio first, saying with a smile, "Mr. Shao, you are joking. How can our company afford to hire those big stars..."
"Won't the group headquarters lend you some people?" Shao Changfeng asked again.
You can still ask about things like this that don't involve the business secrets of any three parties.
"The group doesn't care about our business and they still give us funding. We can't bother the group... Don't worry, our studio is simple, but it has everything you need. We provide all the necessary experience and services. You will know once you take a look."
Shao Changfeng nodded slightly, took two steps forward, and glanced at the actors who had just been filming and were just now taking time out to eat.
The work lunch was good...
Although these meals were nothing to Shao Changfeng, he had also inspected the canteen for his company's employees.
Even if the person in charge of the cafeteria knew he was coming and made sufficient preparations in advance and bought better food, the quality of the food was still far inferior to the working meals on this poor set.
I heard that the welfare of Kuiguang Group is very good, even the shelter company it controls is like this, I think it should be true...
"The food is not bad." Shao Changfeng nodded with some emotion, "It is said that your treatment is good, and it is well-deserved."
"That's because the group headquarters has good treatment. It's nothing here." Cai Meng spoke more and more naturally. "Let me introduce you. This is our studio..."
“These are the photography equipment…”
The simple studio had fireproof cloth hanging on the walls and a thick green background cloth on the floor. Actors and staff who didn't look very professional were walking back and forth.
Shao Changfeng nodded: "They all look very professional. They can make a lot of money in a month, right?"
"It can maintain the company, but compared to the financial support of the group, it's actually a drop in the bucket." Cai Meng always remembered Yang Ruoqian's teachings and said whatever he thought of. "Boss Yang allocated funds to us just to change the environment of the entertainment industry."
"Change the environment of the entertainment industry?" Shao Changfeng asked curiously, "How to change the environment of the entertainment industry?"
After asking this question, Shao Changfeng realized that he was too curious today.
Normally, he has no interest in the daily life of actors, and he doesn't care about the various things happening in this circle.
But after just listening to Cai Meng's two sentences, he couldn't help his gossiping heart - the so-called changing the ecology of a circle, the environment of an industry, is definitely not as simple as it sounds.
As a businessman, Shao Changfeng doesn’t even dare to say that Gaoyao Group can change the ecology of their industry, but does Cai Meng dare?
As expected of someone from the entertainment industry, he aroused the interest of a complete layman like me with just a few words.
Cai Meng must have come prepared! From the lemon tea at the beginning to all the actions afterwards, there must be a deep meaning, and it was all done deliberately.
Shao Changfeng had to admit that he had had good reception experiences, average reception experiences, and very bad reception experiences.
But today’s experience can’t be said to be good, but it’s definitely not bad either. It’s such a novel experience I’ve never had before.
Being able to design such a comfortable and interesting reception plan in a short time is definitely a master among masters.
Even the subordinates of a small branch are so capable, what is the status of Yang Ruoqian and the Kuiguang Group he founded that can make such people convinced? It makes people even more curious...
Be sure to go and take a look when you have time.
"You should also know that the entertainment industry is a relatively closed circle, and most resources are monopolized by celebrities." Cai Meng explained, "You should also watch movies and TV series, and most of them are familiar faces, right?"
“Even if there are new faces, there are only a few in a year, and sometimes there is not even one.”
Shao Changfeng looked at the props on the set and nodded in agreement, "This is actually the same everywhere."
"The situation is still different." Cai Meng pointed at the busy unknown actors and said, "You know, for most of us in this industry, it's hard to make ends meet, and having a fixed place to live is a luxury."
"There are only so many films scheduled in a year, and each film has a different director, and the filming locations are all over the world."
"99.9% of the film remuneration is divided up by the big actors. If other actors don't have connections or are lucky, they will basically never get ahead in their lives."
"If I'm lucky, I can save some money. If I'm unlucky, I only earn a few thousand a month, and most of it is spent on traveling. My life is much harder than that of ordinary people... At least ordinary people can still have a fixed job and a relatively stable income, so they don't have to worry about the pay all the time."
Shao Changfeng paused for a moment and asked thoughtfully, "You mean that the Kuiguang Group acquired you in order to provide a way out for these actors?"
The company founded by young people does have some dreams in it.
This must be one of the characteristics that attracted Shao Yiqi to the Kuiguang Group!
No wonder I don't want to come back...
If it were when I was young, I would definitely not come back.
For young people full of vigor and vitality, the appeal of "going home and listening to your parents' arrangements" is completely different from "changing something together for your ideals."
What’s more, he is a second-generation person like Shao Yiqi who has no worries about food and drink and has nothing to do all day long.
The most important thing is that they successfully established this shelter company. I heard that the acquisition plan was led by their own son Shao Yiqi himself!
Shao Changfeng counted the chips in his hand and found that he didn't seem to have much advantage over the Kuiguang Group...
It's over. It seems that it's not easy to trick this kid back home...
Cai Meng smiled bitterly: "Before, we were wondering why Kuiguang Group wanted to acquire our small company... Given their size and business direction, they should be developing in the traditional direction. Later, I listened to the analysis on the Internet and the interpretation of experts, and finally understood Mr. Yang's ideals and ambitions."
When the Shelter Company wanted to develop in the direction of making bad movies and find another way to make money, it definitely didn't think so much about it.
Just want to make more money.
It can be said that Mr. Yang has crushed me in terms of ambition, ability and emotional intelligence.
"It's good to have ideals, and it's even better to realize them." Shao Changfeng said, "Your new business is indeed very promising. I'm very optimistic about it... After I finish the business on hand, I'll introduce some clients to you."
In fact, to be honest, Shao Changfeng didn’t think that this “private customization” project jointly launched by Kuiguang Group and the Shelter Company could make much money.
The time and cost required are too high.
The most important thing is that after many people have experienced this project, they will not want to experience it again for at least one or two years.
Nowadays, most people are so busy at work, and entertainment is becoming increasingly fragmented. Projects that take several days at a time have no chance of success unless they develop a group of highly sticky niche user circles.
"Personal customization" must constantly look for new customers, otherwise even if it is successful in the early stages, the final outcome will be short-lived.
Cultivating a user base takes time.
The vast majority of projects simply cannot afford to wait this long.
Considering the deep connection between the "private customization" project and the shelter company, Shao Changfeng decided to use his own connections to give it a little help.
After all, if this project fails, it is likely to involve the Shelter Company, and the Shelter Company currently seems to represent Shao Yiqi's performance...
The company is just a group of people with similar interests, and there are probably many conflicts among them. If there is a problem with the shelter company, Shao Yiqi will inevitably be put in a passive position.
It's not a big deal for a father to use his connections to help his son a little, right?
Introducing a few big bosses I know to spend tens of millions to experience this kind of "private customization" feeling and try out the feeling of being the protagonist on the big screen, isn't that a scam? As for who else these big bosses who were introduced will introduce "private customization" to, it can't be blamed on Shao Changfeng.
Taking all factors into consideration, this was indeed just a small, insignificant help.
Cai Meng was surprised and delighted, but his subconscious reserve still made him refuse: "Boss Shao, this is not good!"
Is this the rich man? He is really straightforward.
They helped introduce clients and asked for payment in advance! As expected, if you serve the boss well, you will definitely get benefits.
Unfortunately, Mr. Yang went home for vacation and was unable to share this joy with everyone at the first time.
Mr. Yang should have anticipated this outcome a long time ago...it's okay to discuss the issue after he returns to work.
"I'll pay the money today so you don't have to worry." Shao Changfeng glanced at his watch. "I have some business to take care of later, so I won't bother you anymore."
"This way, please... Are you thirsty? Do you need a cup of lemon tea?"
"No... never mind, just half a cup, just half a cup, no more."
…
After finishing his work, Shao Changfeng was escorted out of the company with gifts and immediately saw his assistant who had been waiting for him.
The assistant came up quickly, took the bag, and greeted, "Mr. Shao, you're out now, how do you feel?"
"It's much better than I thought." Shao Changfeng regained his dignity as soon as he appeared in front of his subordinates. "Schedule a telephone conference for the company's top management in two hours. I want to talk about this matter and correct the work style."
The atmosphere in the shelter company, where leaders are respected but not fawned upon, and everyone is full of vigor and vitality, really opened Shao Changfeng's eyes a little.
The problem of social atmosphere is probably one of the reasons why Shao Yiqi is unwilling to come back...
Anyone who has been doing the same thing for years or even decades, and sees people trying to fawn on him with a fake smile every day, will get annoyed.
"Okay, any other plans?"
"No... um, there's one more thing. Can you help me find out about that lemon tea?"
…
A few days later on Monday.
A wonderful vacation always passes in a flash, especially when all work messages are blocked and all worries disappear from your sight.
"Ah, time to go to work again!" Yang Ruoqian stretched hard and reluctantly unblocked the message, "Let's see how the company is running these days."
"The filming is going fine, it's great."
"The traffic monetization of the Leopard platform is progressing slowly, which is very good."
"Fans who couldn't buy concert tickets became increasingly dissatisfied and started making a scene online. That's great. Everything is moving forward steadily..."
"Well, Cai Meng also sent a message. Let's see what surprises the Shelter Company can bring me this time?" (End of this chapter)
