Chapter 44
Jiang Juyou, the "boss" of Random Entertainment, always felt that he was just entertaining himself in his own circle, and was still eight feet away from the real entertainment industry, but the real entertainment industry has begun to pay attention to it, especially since it has made such a big move recently, it is hard not to notice.
At the end of the year, few people would choose to resign at this time, after all, bonuses and other things have not yet been received, but many people have already made the intention to resign.
Random Entertainment moved into a new building with eleven floors above ground and five floors underground. This scale made the listeners scratch their ears and wonder if they heard it wrong.
You should know that the top performing arts companies in China now only have three or four-story office buildings. Most of them rent one floor in office buildings as office space, and some even rent houses in residential communities as office space.
Random Entertainment has its own concert venue and shopping mall. Everyone thought it was the end, but they didn't expect that they still have a building. You
don't need to think about what will happen next. They must be recruiting. Before the news of Random Entertainment asking employees to refer internally spread, someone had already come up to ask.
It would have been better if they hadn't asked. Once they asked, the whole industry was shocked.
Random Entertainment not only needs to cultivate its own artists, but also its own directors, screenwriters and behind-the-scenes staff, even those in the variety show field. The company building has already prepared a venue for people from the other two departments, just waiting for people to come in.
This news has made people in the industry have no time to worry about their main business recently. When people get together, they start discussing random entertainment and inquire about each other's wishes.
But it's still the same sentence. It's almost the end of the year, and few people will leave at this time, but the conditions that can make so many people excited are impossible to have no one come to the door.
Jiang Juyou has met several directors who have worked in the variety show field for more than ten years in succession in the past two days. They all resigned a few months ago and wanted to start their own business. Looking at their resumes, everyone would raise an eyebrow, as they listed programs that are well-known to the people of the country.
Such resumes are enough to enter Random Entertainment, but she does not sign every one who comes.
"The goal of Random Entertainment is to become a leader in the industry, and we need to be the one that sets the trend. After entering Random Entertainment, you may face the requirements of innovation and originality. I wonder what you think?"
She said this to every variety show director she met, and almost every director agreed with it. After the end, Jiang Juyou asked Sister Cheng Yuan to help inquire in the circle and do a little background check. In the end, she signed two out of a dozen directors. For the rest, Jiang Juyou and Sister Cheng Yuan had a meal together, which was considered a period.
Compared to the variety show department, the film and television department was built much faster. Cheng Yuan already had connections in this area, so many people came. However, the two backbones, directors and screenwriters, had not signed the right people.
Seeing that there were not many positions left in Random Entertainment, more and more people began to be interested.
Previously, Random Entertainment was like a fortress built for itself. Their staff had almost no communication with the outside world, so no one knew there was such a company, nor did they know what the atmosphere inside their company was like.
But now it is different. Many bricks have been removed, and there is a mouth for communication.
And those new people are the "mouth" for them to get the news.
"Their company actually pays overtime according to working hours. Oh no, it's our company now."
"..."
"Our company does not allow communication about work after work! Hey!"
"How is that possible? This is the entertainment industry!"
"We have a unified internal software. Work matters can only be carried out in the internal software. As long as the internal software is in working state, even if you work overtime, you will be paid overtime. Communication is not allowed after work because the internal software can only be logged in with the company's computer. After work, no one knows each other. Of course, there are departments that have added contact information privately, but our department does not."
"Wait, I will submit my resignation report now."
"How do you communicate with the client?"
"There is a WeChat applet with a customer entrance."
"I took a look, and it reminds you to work from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., with a lunch break from 12 p.m. to 1:30 p.m. and two days off on weekends. I'm not allowed to contact you during working hours...jealousy makes me lose my appetite."
"The dumplings we had for lunch today were free."
"..."
"But we also have bad points."
"For example?"
"We don't have any team building, just cold money. I've just joined the company for three weeks and already I'm getting paid for team building. I'm scared to death!"
"...I've written my resignation report, get ready to welcome me."
While Jiang Juyu was preparing to welcome the third public meeting, the company welcomed another wave of interviewers.
At the Friday morning meeting, Jiang Juyou frowned in pain after hearing the number of interviews reported by the HR department. "I forgot to tell you not to arrange interviews these days."
After she finished speaking, the HR manager paused, "Then..."
"It's my fault. I've been too busy these days. You guys should go today. I stayed up all night last night and I'm a little tired." Jiang Juyou pinched her eyebrows after she finished speaking.
In fact, she had been reading literature all night. Yesterday, she sent the first draft she had written to the teacher, but she was scolded after sending it. The teacher asked her to go back and take a good look at the shit she had written. Not only was the framework messy, but the literature was not found very accurately.
There was no need to rush for the thesis, but after the Chinese New Year, Jiang Juyou would be busier and busier. She wanted to finish it quickly during this period of time, otherwise it would be a life-and-death race later.
After talking about the interview, it was time for the highlight of this week.
"We didn't have a morning meeting on Monday, and I forgot to tell you later... The third public performance will be tomorrow, and the last performance will be next month. I want to arrange a tour for the children before the final performance. I think I mentioned this to you before." Jiang Juyou said, looking at Ge Mu.
Ge Mu nodded when she was called. Jiang Juyu retracted her gaze and continued, "You don't have to move the equipment. You can just go there when the time comes. You just need to go there in advance for rehearsal and confirm the equipment."
"Beijing and Shanghai are not included. The order is Shenzhen, Changsha, Chengdu, and Xi'an, one city per week."
Ge Mu calculated after she finished speaking, "Four weeks... Then when will the final performance be scheduled?"
Liu Jiajia from the newcomer department also asked, "What about the children's practice?"
"They will start their winter vacation in three weeks, right?"
"So soon, when is the Chinese New Year this year?"
"Mid-February, not too early."
After listening to the others' discussion, Jiang Juyou said, "There's plenty of time to practice during the winter break. Let me see..." She opened her phone and looked at the calendar, then searched the internet for the students' winter break schedule. "Let's schedule the finale after the Spring Festival. That's just right. After watching the finale, the students can still reminisce about it for a week."
Liu Jiajia was amused by her words, "Do you want me to scold you if I leave you a week?"
Jiang Juyou also laughed, "It doesn't matter. I'll cover my ears and run forward."
The two of them went back and forth, making the others in the conference room laugh. After laughing, Ge Mu asked, "So it's a four-week tour, leaving two weeks for practice. Should it be scheduled to start next weekend or the week after next?"
Jiang Juyou stopped smiling and looked at the calendar again, "Next week, start early and end early. Yang Siyu, you guys choose the stage program list."
"Okay... then do we get to choose the solo stage as well?"
"Well, let's choose from those who haven't had a solo yet. Choose seven people. I remember that everyone has prepared a solo stage."
"OK."
After the morning meeting, Jiang Juyu returned to the office.
The main reason for going on tour is to accumulate popularity for the trainees again before the final performance. After all, the feelings across the screen are not as strong as meeting the real person. In fact, this love will be magnified after going through all the hardships to meet the real person.
Of course, it's not just for the trainees.
Ever since the fans knew that Galenci also had venues in other places, they have said more than once that they want to change the city for the next performance. Jiang Juyu originally planned to have an offline tour autograph session and continue selling photo cards. After some thought, she changed the fan meeting to a tour to make everyone's money more worthwhile.
The reason why she set the price of the performance ticket so low was to allow fans to watch the performance without any burden and to see their idols without having to save money for a year or two.
The trainees will stagnate for a long time after the final performance. Although there will be self-made variety shows to continue to increase the popularity, they may not be able to see each other offline until the debut battle, and the shortest time is one year.
So try to see as many as possible. It is very likely that some trainees will not be seen in the subsequent debut battles.
Jiang Juyou was holding her mobile phone at the desk, checking the company's income this month, the most important of which was the sales of the pop-up store.
The entire event will officially end on Sunday, and the two days of profit reduction will not affect Jiang Juyou's account.
The pop-up store was very active in the first two weeks, reaching 10 million in three days, and the subsequent growth was relatively stable. Except for a few very rich women who had to collect and pay for the full set of small cards, the rest of the people took whatever they drew and sold it repeatedly. There were not so many orders from purchasing agents and scalpers, and fans would trade on their own.
In these four weeks, the total sales volume reached 1.68 million, with a profit of more than 79 million. This is only the profit part of the small cards, and the krypton gold voting of various lists must be added. The address of the Beijing venue is in the Galexi Building, so it directly drives the turnover of the entire building.
In addition to this, there are also business deals that have been negotiated.
The final show will be broadcast live on the Gailexi World APP. The marketing department has negotiated an exclusive title sponsorship, and the other party offered 4 million.
Compared with other variety shows that often cost hundreds of millions, theirs is really small, but because it is only the last episode, the cost is actually high. Originally, the other party said that if the previous program was re-edited and GG was implanted, the offer could be raised to 80 million, but in the end Jiang Juyou refused.
So far, the profits from the pop-up store this month, the profits from the surrounding buildings, the performance ticket revenue, and the deposits from sponsors have added up to more than 85 million.
Before the whole mission began, Jiang Juyou dared not even think about this string of numbers, but in the end she really did it.
It was like a dream, very similar to the first few days when she came into contact with the system, and she always wanted to confirm whether it was real.
In this circle, it is really too easy to make money.
“Title: Eat melons and discuss/sjyl’s surprise attack this week - Tour”
“I said that it would do something after every performance! Sure enough, it’s going to have a concert!”
“I think it set an example for the talent shows that come after it, it turns out that it can make money this way. Others go on tour after forming a group, but it’s not even a group here, it’s just on tour.”
“I can only praise it for its ability to make money.”
Comment area:
“Great! 89 yuan concert, here I come!”
“Did they say that there would be free cards for this concert?”
“Haven’t you bought enough cards yet?”
“Why isn’t there a Beijing show ?”
“No Shanghai show is scheduled, it looks like the final show will be in Shanghai.”
“No need to look at it, the announcement has been made, the final show will be in Shanghai, tickets will go on sale tonight at 8 o’clock, and tickets for the Shanghai show will go on sale at 8 o’clock next Monday.”
"Why are they selling tickets at the same time? Then I can only go to one show?"
"I feel like you guys are being ripped off."
"Are you unhappy because you don't get to watch the 89 yuan concert?"
"I'm so excited. If I can get a ticket, this might be the first time in my life that I'll watch a concert."
"Please recommend a reliable scalper."
"There are no reliable scalpers. Gail Xi has upgraded. You have to scan your face to get tickets. Scalpers can't get tickets now."
"You have to scan your face again after selecting your seat, after paying, and when you enter the venue. Scalpers can't do anything about it. Fans can only rely on their hand speed."
"Great upgrade. I support it!"
"Why can't we use Gail Xi to get tickets for other concerts? It really annoys scalpers."
"One of the four ultimate choices, which one do you choose?"
Not to mention the fans who saw the official announcement this morning, even the trainees only knew that they were going to have a concert after hearing Pei Luming say it last night, but when they knew it at the time, they thought Pei Luming was joking, until they saw this news and confirmed that it was true. They
just finished the third public performance the day before yesterday, and the company gave them a long-awaited holiday yesterday. Some went home directly, while others went to visit scenic spots in Beijing with their parents and did not return to the park until the evening.
Pei Luming's parents were both on business trips abroad and would not be back until the New Year. He had nothing to do, and he heard that the company was moving to a new building, so he went to tour the company building, and when he came back in the evening, he brought back a lot of hot news.
"What I said is true! I heard from the clerk that the company is going to recruit new trainees, and it seems that they are going to recruit female trainees." Pei Luming said as he took out snacks from his pocket. These were all the snacks he had grabbed at the cafeteria at noon.
Chen Wu took one, tore it open and put it in his mouth, but eating couldn't stop his mouth, "...You were eavesdropping?"
Pei Luming narrowed his eyes at him and silently circled the snack back, "I wasn't eavesdropping, they asked me!"
He said another piece of news, "I also heard from the clerk that we are going to have a concert."
Everyone was about to believe it, but Pei Luming's words directly made everyone give up the idea.
Chen Wu immediately said, "See, I knew he was lying!"
"No!"
Even Gao Xiayu was no longer interested in what he said, and was about to get up to wash up, "Go to bed early, do you hear me?" After saying that, he touched the tops of several people's heads.
"I'm not lying!" Pei Luming retorted angrily.
Chen Wu comforted him perfunctorily, "Okay, okay, you're not lying."
Pei Luming's arrogance came up, "... Let's make a bet." He even stretched out his little finger.
"The little finger is used for the hook!" Chen Wu also competed with him. "It's a game of tug-of-war.
The loser has to buy the other party a piece of skin that the other party wants!"
"Who wants to bet with you?"
"Ha! Are you scared?" Pei Luming's childish look caused the brothers to quickly withdraw from the battlefield and do something meaningful. Then the next morning they saw the announcement that they were going to have a concert, and not only that, but also a tour. Before they even had time to put down their phones, the door of the practice room was knocked. It was the staff sister who came. The other party popped up and said, "Minister Liu asked everyone to gather in the big practice room." The trainees who were still sitting immediately stood up, packed up their things and walked over there. Pei Luming was still saying at this time, "Ha! I told you it was a concert! I'm sure they'll talk about the stage performance later!" He looked like a villain who had gained power. -------------------- Pei Luming [arrogant]: hiahiahiahia!
