After the Spring Festival, the group's employees couldn't wait to return to the company and start working on the work they had been thinking about throughout the holiday.
In the president's office, the secretary was waiting impatiently, holding a pile of suspicious documents in her hands.
Yang Ruoqian looked at Qi Mu, was silent for a while, and asked: "Qi Mu, did you secretly work overtime during the Spring Festival without telling me?"
With so many documents, even if you are a superman, it is impossible to rush them out just after you start working, right? Qi Mu shook his head vigorously: "Boss Yang, I made these things in the last few days before the holiday, just to quickly connect the company's various businesses after the holiday. You can see it by looking at the corresponding dates of the content."
Before the Spring Festival, Yang Ruoqian ran away early, leaving the company in a leaderless state, which gave Qi Mu a lot of room to perform.
All kinds of documents are sorted out in advance, so when you return from the holiday, the entire group will hardly have any "holiday syndrome" and can perfectly connect with all the work done before the holiday.
Yang Ruoqian glanced at the document and found that it was true.
Alas, what a pity.
I felt a little regretful that I didn’t get to see the company in chaos.
"Okay... Tell me, do you have any important news to report?" Yang Ruoqian didn't look at the documents anymore and tapped the table with his fingers. "You must have been holding it in for a long time, right?"
Even under Yang Ruoqian's strong suppression, the company would occasionally release one or two shocking news.
During the time when the Demon-Suppressing Tower was lost, it was not surprising that all kinds of monsters appeared in the company.
Anyway, as long as it is not good news that comes as a bolt from the blue, Mr. Yang is ready to face it.
Qi Mu readily agreed: "Boss Yang, we allocated relevant resources to the first to ninth place winners of "Almighty Trainee", and the results are very good, especially for Kong Feifei and Kang Yuanqing, whose popularity has risen faster than the operation expected."
Kang Yuanqing, the trainee who performed extremely well in all traditional areas of variety shows but failed every time in the whole life field? The resources for the second place include the starring position of a TV series with lower risks and more publicity.
Coincidentally, he was assigned the role of the male lead in "The Beginning", which was the position where he would play opposite "Luo Ruying".
Of course, before that, there are still a lot of warm-up arrangements to maintain the popularity and traffic brought by the variety show as much as possible.
The filming of a TV series requires a relatively long period of time. It is unacceptable that after the TV series is completed, the audience forgets about the existence of this character.
"Very good. Where are Kong Feifei and her teammates?" President Yang has long been immune to this level of good news, and can even continue to ask questions with a calm mind.
Qi Mu explained: "The various resource rewards are customized according to the trainees' individual performance, ranking and style. Kong Feifei's style... you know, so there will be another tailor-made utilization plan for her. The traffic and financial investment are corresponding to the first place level, so don't worry."
Yang Ruoqian nodded: "Yes, speaking of Luo Ruyin, is there anything else? How is the filming of the TV series going?"
Since Qi Mu chose this incident to report, the next incident must be related.
She put down the first file, took out the second file, and said, "Mr. Yang, the first episode of the TV series has actually been filmed, but it was very close to the holiday, and you have already instructed us not to send it to you. If you need it, I have saved it on your exclusive cloud drive, so you can watch it anytime."
The chief secretary has the authority to store important documents and information in the president's cloud disk, but the viewing rights belong only to Yang Ruoqian.
The first "filming" of the group's human body has actually ended?
Yang Ruoqian immediately became interested. While logging into his own cloud disk account from his computer, he asked, "What about the director and the other leading actors? Have they seen this document? What do you think of it?"
Qi Mu naturally would not miss such crucial information, she replied: "The leading actor has already signed a contract with the company, no problem; the director has something to say, but it's not a big problem."
Of course, that's something to be said. A leading actor did not show up on the set the entire time and asked everyone who knew about it to keep it a secret.
Everyone would be unhappy, right? Very good, conflicts on the set are the beginning of a bad movie.
Yang Ruoqian asked, "It doesn't matter if he has anything to say. This matter was not handled properly by us. If he has any other needs, the group will try its best to satisfy him."
Qi Mu was stunned for a moment, and explained: "Boss Yang... it's not that. The director watched the first episode we processed and was very satisfied with Luo Ruying's 'acting skills'. He even hoped to meet her."
"He admires the miracles created by the group and respects any decision made by our group. There are no internal conflicts in the crew. You can rest assured about this."
The expectant expression on Yang Ruoqian's face immediately turned into calmness, and he said, "Okay, is there anything else?"
Qi Mu nodded: "What you care about most, the first draft of the company's virtual image has been completed, and the next step is the publicity and promotion."
The most important thing? What does the most important thing mean? He obviously cares about Luo Ruqin. Why should the company care about a virtual anime character? Yang Ruoqian's mind was a little confused at this moment, but he quickly put such small details behind him: "It's done... What's the plan for the operation side?"
Qi Mu answered quickly: "We plan to conduct the pilot both online and offline. For online, the Leopard App is the most suitable; for offline, we initially plan to find a few restaurants and an amusement project in the Kuiguang Theme Park for trial operation."
"If everything goes smoothly, the subsequent operation and traffic cash withdrawal plan can be formulated accordingly."
The so-called follow-up plan is to issue and sell limited edition souvenirs, and at the same time launch joint activities with the game production company to create strong anti-counterfeiting and scarcity.
Mobilize all industries of the entire group to complete the initial internal circulation.
This plan was proposed by Mr. Yang, who naturally knew the secret behind it, so Qi Mu just said a few simple words.
As long as the market responds well, all departments will start to take action immediately.
At present, the design department has handed over the manuscripts and molds to the production party. Yan Jinyu, who is responsible for external projects, has also contacted the game production company. All physical products and game CDKs are ready.
Yang Ruoqian was a little confused, but he nodded first: "Then let's do this first."
He vaguely felt that this matter seemed to be out of his control again.
Isn't it just spending money to find a professional team to design an anime image for the company? How can you come back from a holiday and then monetize and operate it? This is like Yang Ruoqian hiring someone to design a new company logo, and two days later someone excitedly tells him that this logo is about to debut and start making money.
It's really hard to understand.
However... since we have to find a factory to make molds and order various products, it should be a considerable expense.
Thinking of this, Yang Ruoqian felt relieved.
It doesn’t matter. It’s not an important project anyway. Even if a logo is hung on the top of a building and displayed 24 hours a day, it won’t make much sense.
Qi Mu nodded, and then said with some concern: "But Mr. Yang, the cost of 'Luo Ruyin' is very, very staggering. Are you sure you want to continue with the current standard?"
To be honest, as a person, Qi Mu really likes the image of "Luo Ruying".
After all, the image is designed by top designers, and each character is designed to be perfect. As long as it is in line with the aesthetic taste of the general public, it is hard not to like this image.
But personal preferences and the interests of the company sometimes conflict.
After the Luo Ruying project was launched, especially to perfectly "ps" her image into a TV series, one can imagine how huge the workload is and how terrifying the cost will be.
A 30-minute TV series needs to be edited frame by frame! During those days, the money in the company's account was like water flowing out of a floodgate. It couldn't be stopped.
As a project attached to an animation IP image, such expenses really made Qi Mu a little scared.
If this trend continues, how much will a 15-episode TV series cost? The investment in the entire TV series is probably not even half of Luo Rujin's! Can it really make money...
Yang Ruoqian was thinking about how to give the manufacturer more money. When he heard Qi Mu complaining about Luo Rujin spending too much money, he suddenly felt happy.
There are expenses on the animation side, and Luo Ruying is burning money desperately... Both virtual image projects are shining in their respective fields.
Two-pronged approach, double happiness! Yang Ruoqian immediately waved his hand: "The more money you burn in the early stage, the more money you will make in the later stage. The more you burn, the more money you will make. There is no need to be stuck in the quagmire of short-term profits."
"I personally decided on this project. Even if it fails, no one else will be held responsible. Just follow my standards and requirements."
When saying this, Mr. Yang sneered in his heart: Make money in the later stage?
It won’t be long before he reveals Luo Ruying’s true nature and cuts off all ways to make money!
Let the project be terminated at the stage of burning money, and don’t even think about making a penny.
Qi Mushen agreed: "Okay, Mr. Yang, we will definitely not let you down."
In fact, the more investment, the more profit. The group does not care so much about short-term profits. As the president's secretary, Qi Mu cannot be unaware of this.
But even if the boss has already said it, as a secretary, she has to reiterate it.
After reporting all the other miscellaneous work, Qi Mu picked up his things and prepared to leave the office.
Yang Ruoqian also looked at Qi Mu's departing back, ready to open the game at any time.
He relaxed throughout the Spring Festival, but didn't play many games.
Compared to playing games at work, playing games during holidays makes him feel like he has made a huge loss.
Just as Qi Mu walked to the office door and was about to open it, she suddenly glanced at her cell phone.
The footsteps stopped where they were.
She looked at it for a few seconds, then suddenly turned around and sat back at the president's desk, looking a little serious: "Boss Yang... Yan Jinyu just sent me a message, I think it's something you need to deal with."
Mr. Yang, who silently turned off the game and was waiting for the secretary to give him a critical hit, was stunned.
For this kind of sudden good news, Mr. Yang would no longer be as angry as before.
But... looking at the secretary's expression, the upcoming news doesn't seem to be good news! It's bad news for the company, but good news for Mr. Yang! It's so rare that the news that comes suddenly is not about making money for the company.
Could it be that after the Spring Festival, my luck has changed? "Don't worry, take your time." Yang Ruoqian was very anxious, but he still restrained the corners of his mouth from rising wildly, showing the calmness and steadiness that a big boss of a big group should have.
Qi Mu's face was still very solemn. She forwarded Yan Jinyu's message to Yang Ruoqian and said, "Boss Yang, these are the photos taken by Mager's overseas market in other places, as well as the summary made. Please take a look."
Oh, Mager? So it's about the overseas market?
Yang Ruoqian looked through the chat history.
Above are several groups of photos, and the content is very simple - peripheral products related to "The Boys".
In the photos, many related pirated peripheral products are being sold openly.
And the sales are very, very good.
Qi Mu calculated the time in his mind, and when Mr. Yang had almost finished looking at all the pictures, he said, "Mr. Yang, in the overseas market, there are pirated acts of using our IP to make money. What do you think we should do?"
As she spoke, she glanced at her boss's somewhat gloomy face, and quickly wondered in her mind what countermeasures she should come up with to protect her rights or reduce the losses.
When Mr. Yang looked at the photos, the joy in his heart disappeared.
The reason was not what Qi Mu thought, that he was indignant about the group's copyright and interests, but that he was in a dilemma.
Should we protect these rights or not? Generally speaking, as long as the scale is not large, it is very difficult to protect rights overseas.
It’s not that copyright issues are not protected locally, but the cost of defending rights is very high - it is very likely that the compensation received in the end will not be enough to cover the legal team’s round-trip airfare.
Considering this alone, Yang Ruoqian was very motivated to mobilize the crazy legal team and let them do a great job.
But the thing is, there are systems.
What if the rights protection is successful again with the help of the system? If you just watch and do nothing to protect your rights, Mag will definitely take relevant actions; if you send a legal team to protect your rights, the system will probably give you some rewards that will make you lose your mind.
Although this news is bad, it doesn’t seem to be that bad... It makes it difficult for people to make a decision in a short time.
Qi Mu looked at his boss's changing expression and asked carefully, "Boss Yang, what are you going to do?"
What to do... Just give up and let Mag handle it himself? No, it's not easy to get bad news, how can I let this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity slip through my fingers? I must think of a solution that satisfies both parties. (End of this chapter)
