Chapter 174 Want to get something for free
Xie Ran said helplessly: "Boss, I'm not the real Zhuge Liang, how can I calculate everything?"
Xu Youyou still looked at him with suspicion.
Xie Ran then said helplessly: "I admit that I had some gambling involved. The reason why I put these well-known actors and Internet celebrities at the front was to make a good start. I didn't expect them to be more angry than I thought, otherwise there wouldn't be such a big public opinion online."
Xu Youyou knew that he did have a plan, so she felt relieved and said, "But if this happens, famous actors or internet celebrities won't be willing to audition anymore."
Xie Ran suddenly laughed and said, "Boss, I never hinted that these celebrities would definitely choose them. Besides, fame is always a double-edged sword. Most of the artists who have made a name for themselves have already signed with management companies. They may not be willing to calm down and understand the role."
"Little actors who are not famous but have potential can not only expand our company's artist pool, but also give them opportunities to become famous. This is a win-win situation."
Xu Youyou was stunned when he heard this.
Xie Ran continued, "We will be traveling all over the country for this audition, trying our best to select high-quality actors and actresses, and then we will try our best to get them to sign with our company."
“If a TV series becomes a big hit, it’s like nurturing dozens of stars in one go.”
Xu Youyou listened to Xie Ran's big promises and couldn't help drooling as she imagined the situation. However, the basis for her entertainment company to soar to success was that the TV series could really be a big hit.
Stars need to be cultivated. Once their popularity fails to maintain, they are likely to fall behind, which will waste their hard-earned traffic. This will not only ruin their future, but also be regrettable.
"Since we are serious about making this TV series, let's make a masterpiece that will never be seen again."
"As for the subsequent training of artists, it's easy. Discover and train more outstanding screenwriters and production teams. You have money anyway. At most, you can start filming more than a dozen dramas at once, just like the short dramas you did in the past."
Xu Youyou couldn't help but said, "Don't be too confident. TV dramas and skits are completely different."
If it were really that easy to discover and cultivate good production teams, the entertainment industry wouldn't be filled with so many shoddy products like it is now.
Xie Ran was very confident and said: "There is never a shortage of good production teams in the entertainment industry, but the current situation is that there is too much capital intervention."
"Capital wants to promote people and make quick money through fan economy, so they are eager to promote people, suck the blood of other characters, and steal the highlight roles of other characters, just to add luster to the actors they want to promote."
"When there are many investors in a play, it is natural that there will be a situation where everyone has their own agenda."
"You are different from these short-sighted investors. Compared with supporting actors, you care more about the overall quality of the series. We are mostly wholly-owned, so we don't have to worry about too much interference."
After being praised by him, Xu Youyou suddenly realized that although she, the boss, usually did nothing, the company was unexpectedly thriving.
Rounding off, is it possible that the boss is the biggest drag on the company?
Xie Ran continued, "As long as the management does not interfere too much in the creation, our company will enter a positive cycle. Now even the short plays are praised as masterpieces. There are rumors that Yoyo's works are all masterpieces. You just need to wait to collect the money."
Xu Youyou couldn't help blushing. She suddenly felt a little regretful. She was too hasty in doing things at the beginning. There was no need to use her own name as the name of the company.
If she had known this earlier, she would have definitely given the company a more impressive name.
Xie Ran added: "Boss, Shu Yunling has already signed the contract. With her contract as a template, other artists with potential are also interested in signing with our company."
Xu Youyou was afraid that Xie Ran would only focus on making money and miss out on suitable actors, so she reminded him: "Even if an artist has signed with another company, as long as the role is suitable, they must be confined. They must not do things like suppressing the role in order to promote their own actors."
Xie Ran said soothingly: "Don't worry, everything else is secondary. Making the best Dream of Red Mansions is the primary goal. If this TV series is well made, our company's brand will be completely established. I will not do such a thing as throwing the baby out with the bathwater for the sake of temporary gains."
Xie Ran took out another acquisition plan and gave it to Xu Youyou.
Xu Youyou opened it and took a look. The company to be acquired was not an entertainment company, a video website, or a manufacturing company, but a novel website.
"Why buy a novel website?" Xu Youyou didn't quite understand.
Xie Ran explained: "The company may take a big step in the future. We will sign so many artists at once and increase the film and television production team. By then, several crews will start filming at the same time. Original scripts are too slow, and incubating film and television IPs is faster."
"We have our own novel website, we can build a cultural and entertainment system, and we can also develop high-quality screenwriters from novel authors."
Xu Youyou felt as if she had listened to a business report. She also felt more and more that it was necessary to snatch Xie Ran back from under the bridge. This man was thinking three steps ahead. As long as he was given enough time, he would be able to return a business empire to Xu Youyou in just a few years.
"Since you think it is necessary, just buy it. Tell me when you need money." Xu Youyou showed an attitude of full trust.
The novel website that Xie Ran wants to buy is a small website that was once popular but has been pushed into decline in recent years as capital has entered the novel market.
But even so, Xu Youyou thought it was a multi-billion dollar deal, but she didn't expect that in the end it only cost 200 million.
On the day when the novel website acquisition was approved, a line of words suddenly appeared in front of Xu Youyou.
[Congratulations to the host, you have completed two unexpected leaks in a row and received the task reward: Metaphysical Protection Shield x1]
Xu Youyou was a little confused: "Which two times did you find the leak?"
She felt as if she had missed something important.
The system quickly explains.
[Shu Yunling: A beautiful actress who was tortured to insanity by the unspoken rules of the entertainment industry. She should have been shining under the spotlight, but because of her extreme beauty, she attracted countless covetous men. She became insane because she could not bear the pain and torture.]
Xu Youyou recalled Shu Yunling's beautiful and lively face, and she was immediately grateful that the girl had joined her company. Xu Youyou was so overwhelmed by the sight of the beautiful girl that she couldn't bear to let her face such ugliness.
[Huohong Novel Network: A seemingly ordinary website that actually hides a top IP that can support countless uploaders. ]
Xu Youyou's eyes lit up, and she immediately started to ask, "Which IP on Huohong Novel Network is so powerful?"
