I'm going to become a giant in the entertainment industry

The Spring Festival is over, and the employees of the group can't wait to return to the company and start busy with the work that they have been thinking about throughout the holiday.

In the CEO's office, the secretary was waiting impatiently, holding a lot of suspicious documents in her hands.

Yang Ruoqian looked at Qi Mu, was silent for a long time, and asked, "Qi Mu, did you secretly work overtime behind my back during the Spring Festival?"

With so many files, even a superman wouldn't be able to rush them out just after he started working, right?

Qi Mu shook his head vigorously: "Mr. Yang, I made these things in the last few days before the holiday, so that the company's various businesses can be quickly connected after the holiday. You will know by looking at the corresponding dates of the contents."

Before the Spring Festival, Yang Ruoqian himself ran away early, leaving the company in a leaderless state in advance, which gave Qi Mu a lot of room to perform.

All the various documents have been sorted out in advance. When we come back from the holiday, there will be almost no "vacation syndrome" in the entire group, and we can perfectly connect with all the work before the holiday.

Yang Ruoqian glanced at the document and found that this was indeed the case.

Alas, what a pity.

It's a pity that I couldn't see the company in such chaos.

"Okay... tell me, do you have any important news to report?" Yang Ruoqian stopped looking at the documents and tapped the table with his fingers, "You must have been holding it in for a long time, right?"

Under Yang Ruoqian's strong suppression, one or two shocking news would come out from time to time in the company.

During the time when the Demon Suppression Tower was lost, it was not surprising that all kinds of monsters appeared in the company.

Anyway, as long as the good news is not a bolt from the blue, Mr. Yang is ready to face it.

Qi Mu followed the good advice: "Mr. Yang, we have allocated relevant resources to the first to ninth placers in "Almighty Trainee", and the results have been very good, especially for Kong Feifei and Kang Yuanqing, whose popularity has risen faster than Operational expectations.”

Kang Yuanqing is that trainee who performs extremely well in all traditional areas of variety shows, but fails again and again in the field of live entertainment?

The second-place resources include the starring role in a TV series with lower risk and more publicity.

Coincidentally, he was assigned the leading actor position in "The Beginning", that is, the position opposite "Luo Ruyu".

Of course, before that, there are still many warm-up arrangements, and we must try our best to maintain the popularity and traffic brought by variety shows.

The filming of a TV series requires a long period of time. It is impossible for the TV series to be completed but the audience will not remember that this character still exists.

"Very good, where are Kong Feifei and her teammates?" Mr. Yang has long been immune to this level of good news, and can even continue to ask questions calmly.

Qi Mu explained: "Each resource reward is customized based on the individual performance, ranking and style of the trainees. Kong Feifei's style... you know, so there will be another tailor-made application plan for her, traffic and The financial investment corresponds to the first place, you can rest assured.”

Yang Ruoqian nodded: "Yes, speaking of Luo Ruyu, is there anything else? How is the filming of the TV series going?"

Since Qi Mu picked this incident to report, the next incident is naturally connected.

She put down the first document, took out the second document, 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 had explained it, so the original film is not available for the time being. I’ll send it to you. If you need it, I’ve saved it to your dedicated cloud disk and you can view it at any time.”

The general assistant secretary has the authority to save important documents and information to the president's cloud disk, but the viewing authority only belongs to Yang Ruoqian.

The first "filming" of the group's human body has ended?

Yang Ruoqian immediately became interested. While logging into his exclusive cloud disk account on the computer, he asked: "Where are the director and other leading actors? Have they read this document? What are their comments?"

Naturally, Qi Mu would not miss such crucial information. She replied: "The leading actor has already signed a contract with the company, so there is no problem. The director has something to say, but it's not a big problem."

Of course, there is something to be said. One of the leading actors did not appear on the set during the whole process, and asked all insiders to keep it secret.

Anyone else would be unhappy, right?

Very good, conflicts on the set are the beginning of bad movies.

Yang Ruoqian asked: "If he has something to say, it doesn't matter. Our handling of this matter is not genuine. If he has any other needs, the group will do its best to satisfy him."

Qi Mu was stunned for a moment and explained: "Mr. Yang... it's not like this. It was the director who saw the original film of the first episode that we completed and was very, very satisfied with Luo Ruyu's 'acting skills' and even hoped to meet her. one side."

"He greatly admires the various miracles created by the group and respects any decision made by our group. There are no internal conflicts among the crew. You can definitely rest assured on this."

The expectant expression on Yang Ruoqian's face immediately turned calm, and he said, "Okay, is there anything else?"

Qi Mu nodded: "What matters most to you is that the first draft of the company's virtual image has been completed. The next step is the publicity and distribution."

The most important thing?

What is the most important thing?

What he values ​​the most is obviously Luo Rujie. What is there to value about a virtual animation character in the company?

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 on the operations side?"

Qi Mu answered quickly: "We plan to conduct pilot projects both online and offline. For online, Leopard App is the most suitable; for offline, we initially plan to find several restaurants and a certain amusement project in Kuiguang Theme Park for trial operation."

"If everything goes well, the subsequent operation and traffic withdrawal plan can be formulated together."

The so-called subsequent plan is to issue and sell limited edition souvenirs, and at the same time start joint activities with the game production company to create strong anti-counterfeiting and scarcity.

Mobilize all the industries of the entire group to complete the initial internal circulation.

This plan was proposed by General Manager Yang, and General Manager Yang naturally knew the mystery, so Qi Mu just said a few simple words.

As long as the market response is good, all departments will start to act immediately.

At present, the design department has handed over the manuscript and mold to the production party, and Yan Jinyu, who is responsible for external projects, has also contacted the game production company, and all physical products and game CDKs are ready.

Yang Ruoqian was a little confused, but he nodded first: "Let's do it first."

He vaguely felt that this matter seemed to be a little out of his control.

Isn't it just spending money to find a professional team to design an anime image for the company? Why do you have to cash in and operate it after a vacation?

This is equivalent to Yang Ruoqian finding someone to design a new company logo, and two days later someone excitedly told him that this logo will be launched and start making money soon.

It's really hard to understand.

However... since you have found a factory to make molds and order various products, it should be a considerable expense.

Thinking of this, Yang Ruoqian's hanging heart was put down again.

It doesn't matter. It's not an important project anyway. Even if you hang a logo on the top of the building every day and display it back and forth 24 hours a day, it doesn't make much sense.

Qi Mu nodded, and then said with some concern: "But Mr. Yang, the cost of 'Luo Ru' is very, very shocking. Are you sure you still want to continue with the current standard?"

To be honest, as a person, Qi Mu likes the image of "Luo Ru".

After all, it is an image designed by top designers, and each character is aimed at the most perfect direction. As long as it is still the aesthetic of the general public, it is difficult not to like this image.

But personal preferences and the interests of the company sometimes conflict.

After the Luo Ruying project was launched, it was especially important to perfectly "p" her image into a TV series. It was easy to imagine how much work it would take and how scary the cost would be.

For a TV series of about 30 minutes, you need to do the "p-picture" work frame by frame!

In those days, the money in the company's account was like water from the floodgates, and it couldn't be stopped.

As a project attached to the IP image of an animation, 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 Ruying's!

Can it really make money...

Yang Ruoqian was thinking about how to give the manufacturer more money. When he heard Qi Mu complain about Luo Ruying's excessive spending, he was a little 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 spend in the early stage, the more money you will make in the later stage. The more you spend, the more money you will make. You don't have to be stuck in the quagmire of short-term profits."

"I personally decided on this project. Even if it fails, no one needs to take responsibility. Just do it according to my standards and requirements."

When saying this, Mr. Yang sneered in his heart: Make money in the later stage?

Not in the later stage, it won't take long for him to directly expose the nature of Luo Ruying and directly cut off all ways to make money!

Let the project be terminated at the stage of burning money, and don't think about making a dime.

Qi Mu agreed with deep approval: "Okay, Mr. Yang, we will definitely not let you down."

In fact, the more investment, the more profit. The group doesn't care so much about short-term profits. Qi Mu, as the president's secretary, can't be unaware of this.

But even if the boss has said it, as a secretary, she must reiterate it again.

After reporting all the other scattered work, Qi Mu took her things and prepared to leave the office.

Yang Ruoqian also watched Qi Mu's back as he left, ready to open the game at any time.

He was very relaxed throughout the Spring Festival, but he didn't play many games.

Compared to playing games at work, playing games during holidays made him feel like he had made a big loss.

Just as Qi Mu walked to the door of the office and was about to open it, she suddenly glanced at her phone.

Her footsteps paused.

She looked 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 a message over, I think you need to deal with it."

Boss Yang, who turned off the game silently and waited for the secretary to give him a critical hit, was stunned.

For this kind of sudden good news, Boss Yang would no longer be as angry as before.

But... looking at the secretary's appearance, the upcoming news doesn't seem to be good news!

It's bad news for the company, but it's good news for Boss Yang!

It's so rare that the news that comes unexpectedly is not a matter of making money for the company.

Could it be that one Spring Festival has passed and my fortune has changed?

"Don't be anxious. Speak slowly." Yang Ruoqian was very anxious inside, but he still restrained the corners of his mouth from rising wildly, showing the composure and stability that a big boss of a large group should have.

Qi Mu's face was still very solemn. She forwarded Yan Jinyu's news to Yang Ruoqian and said, "Mr. Yang, these are the photos taken by Mag overseas market in other places, as well as the summary. Come and take a look."

Oh, Magna boy?

It turned out to be a matter of overseas markets?

Yang Ruoqian looked through the chat history.

Above are several sets of photos, and the content is very simple - related to "Black Robe Inspection Team"-related peripherals.

In the photos, many related pirated peripheral products are sold unabashedly.

And the sales are very, very good.

Qi Mu counted the time in his heart, counting that Mr. Yang had almost finished reading all the pictures, and then said: "Mr. Yang, in overseas markets, there has been piracy and using our IP to make money. What do you think we should do?"

As she spoke, she glanced at her boss's gloomy face, and quickly speculated on what countermeasures she should take to protect her rights or reduce losses.

Mr. Yang looked at those photos, and the joy in his heart just disappeared.

The reason was not that Qi Mu was angry about the group's copyright and interests as he thought, but that he was in a dilemma.

Is this right to be defended or not?

Generally speaking, as long as the scale is small, it is difficult to defend overseas rights.

This is not to say that copyright issues are not protected locally, but the cost of defending rights is very high - it is very likely that the final compensation will not be enough to cover the round-trip air tickets for the legal team.

Just considering this point, Yang Ruoqian is very motivated to mobilize the legal team that is in a crazy state and let them go for a big fight.

But the thing is, there are systems.

What if, with the help of the system, rights protection is once again a great success?

If you just watch and don't protect your rights, Mager will definitely take relevant actions; if you send a legal team to protect your rights, the system will probably issue some exciting rewards.

Although this news is bad news, it doesn't seem so bad... It makes it difficult to make a decision in a short time.

Qi Mu looked at the boss's changing expression and asked carefully: "Mr. Yang, what are you going to do?"

What to do...just give up and let Mag handle it on his own?

No, how could you let this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity slip through your fingers when bad news finally fell from the sky?

A solution that has the best of both worlds must be thought of. (End of chapter)
