Chapter 802 Farewell
Yuan Xiao was stunned, and it was difficult to tell whether the "he" referred to Nie Xingliang or Fang Youwen, or both.
"Okay, I'll tell Director Fang." He replied.
On the set, Yuan Xiao and Wu Ying and others would formally call Fang Youwen "Director Fang" to avoid outsiders thinking that this director was easy to talk to and couldn't control the situation.
"If this proposal is adopted, it would be best if I could see the tools in place when I arrive, so it would be easier to get started directly." Qin Jue added one more instruction.
Yuan Xiao nodded: "That's for sure."
The two ended the call, and Qin Jue walked a little further and arrived at the door of the Reed Theater.
The information she found in advance showed that this theater was very old and was built earlier than the Majorelle Theater, but because the business had always been lukewarm, the encyclopedia was embarrassed to write that it was "very historical", and only mentioned that "the former Reed Theater had many traces left over from the years."
However, these are all in the past. About two years ago, the Reed Theater was taken over by a new investor and has since changed its appearance. After several major renovations, it has become obviously bright and fashionable, which is very in line with the aesthetics of young people today.
Such a once declining theater can quickly turn around and even squeeze into the top three on the tourism recommendation list such as "Which famous theaters in ISCA are worth checking in?" In addition to the large area of the venue itself, the new equipment costs money, and various services are in place, it is also because its new owner has spent a lot of effort on marketing, which has achieved the effect of "the wine is fragrant and the alley is shallow".
Not only that, the Reed Theater is also the theater that most frequently invites entertainment stars in ISCA in the past two years. Whether it is a well-known actor in the drama/stage play industry or a second- and third-tier star in the entertainment industry, they have performed here.
Although some people on the Internet have commented that it is "a theater that is neither fish nor fowl", it has to be said that its business model is very mature, and it is reasonable to become famous in a short period of time.
It is a choice to catch up with the trend of consumerism as soon as possible, which is in line with the development of the times. The Reed Theater has done a great job.
Qin Jue included it in the alternative because of this. Their final round has the keyword "business", and a theater that is good at doing business can provide better help.
Apart from other things, selling peripherals is not just about setting up a stall on the ground. If you look closely, you need a special venue, special sales staff, and employees who deliver products offline, and a manager who is responsible for coordinating and timely emergency transfer of peripheral stalls that are sold out, etc.
These "peripheral services" other than watching musicals also have an impact on the experience of the audience or guests that cannot be ignored. If customers are seriously offended (or think they are offended) while enjoying these peripheral services, first of all, the theater will lose a group of repeat customers, and secondly, the bad reviews of these dissatisfied customers will continue to hinder more people from coming to watch the show, further expanding the loss.
After several cycles, Qin Jue and his musical itself is likely to lose its reputation.
From this perspective, Reed Theater is undoubtedly an ideal partner.
However, everything has its pros and cons. Qin Jue is currently more worried about whether the theater will intervene in "guidance" and whether the performances are too full to make room.
She walked into the door and reported the program team and her own name to the front desk.
The front desk staff's eyes stayed on Qin Jue and behind him for a second, hiding their doubts well, and then nodded politely, calling another staff member to take Qin Jue into the reception room.
The atmosphere was not comfortable, filled with the false prosperity that Qin Jue seemed to have seen before.
"Please come in." The staff member who led the way turned the handle for her and pushed the door open about one-third, obviously well trained.
"Thank you." Qin Jue nodded to the guide.
The staff member paused slightly, his eyes and expression were not surprise, but full of subtlety and weirdness, but he didn't say anything, and stepped aside respectfully.
Qin Jue didn't say anything either, just pretended not to see it, and walked in calmly.
As soon as she entered the door, she raised her eyes, and the group of people opposite her also raised their eyes at the same time - yes, it was a "group".
There were two leather sofas facing each other in the room, with a unique coffee table in the middle, and two rows of backrest chairs behind the sofas. The side belonging to Qin Jue was of course empty, but the side belonging to the Reed Theater was densely packed with people.
A rough count showed that there were more than twenty people in total.
There were both men and women in this group, some of them were mature and some were capable. In addition, there were two bodyguards standing on the left and right at the edge, and the young man surrounded by them was sitting in the middle of the sofa. At this time, I don’t know whether he was surprised or just didn’t want to, and he didn’t raise his butt to say hello.
Qin Jue walked over and sat down opposite the young man.
“Hello, I’m Qin Jue from the program team of “Entertainment Intern”.” She stretched out her hand.
The man did not ignore this gesture of goodwill, and leaned forward slightly to shake her hand.
“Wen Yuqi, the general manager of Reed Theater.” He said.
Qin Jue moved his facial muscles and showed a polite smile: “It’s an honor to be received grandly. According to the information told to me by the program team, I have obtained your permission to visit. When can I start the visit?”
“Where is your team?” Wen Yuqi did not answer her question.
“I came alone and will do a field survey first.” Qin Jue said.
Wen Yuqi frowned deeply, and the people sitting behind him did the same.
"Let me explain, I am the general person in charge of this project. The time given to us by the program team is very tight. At present, the main members of the team are devoted to the musical itself, so I am the only one here. It is not that I don't pay attention to your side. ”
Qin added without any humility or arrogance.
"Where is Qin Yi Technology's team?" Wen Yuqi's face showed surprise and confusion at the same time.
"They are discussing the sound and light special effects technology required for the musical." Qin Jue said calmly.
Wen Yuqi gave a short sneer, his expression was helpless and funny only when something ridiculous happened.
"Mr. Qin." He politely pushed the tea on the coffee table in the direction of Qin Jue, "How can you make a clear and comprehensive judgment on the inspection results if you don't lead a team at all?"
"And as far as I know from the program team, you are an actor and not an expert at all in this area. And you have neither hired experts to assist nor persuaded any important team members to go with you. May I ask? Can it be understood that you are an amateur leader who is pushed to the top and lacks control over the entire team? "
Qin Jue's expression remained unchanged: "When will our visit begin?"
The tricks she used were returned intact. Wen Yuqi just thought that she didn't want to face such a sharp question and laughed:
"If these pre-existing issues are not clarified, I don't think we need to waste extra time on a meaningless visit."
Qin Jue: "I have already explained why I am the only one sitting here."
Wen Yuqi: "Okay, let's change the question. How confident are you that you can achieve cooperation with us? At what stage is your musical? Do you have a detailed plan? What is the commercial profit you expect to achieve in the plan? ? What is our calculation method? Or should I contact the program team now and ask them to send more people to discuss these issues? "
Qin Juexin asked, "Do you believe me when I tell you that this work has achieved great commercial success in the parallel world?" Her tone was calm:
"I can only tell you that we only have twenty days to prepare, so it is impossible to follow the process step by step. If you are interested, I can introduce in detail the selling points of our works and where Qinyi Technology is here What part of it is actually involved - but I'm sitting here for a basic visit, that's my only purpose today."
Wen Yuqi elegantly picked up the warm tea and took a sip.
"Mr. Qin." His tone was even sincere, "With all due respect, you are not suitable for this job."
"You are too impatient. You are like a pigeon without direction. You only know how to fly forward along an unrigorous route. You will not be able to deliver the letter this way."
Wen Yuqi said calmly, "It doesn't matter if you are not sure or have the strength to do something well. Everyone is not perfect, but you need to find someone who can do it to help you do it. This is what a good leader should do.”
Qin Jue: "Ah."
"You may think that having Qin Yi Technology join you and having a variety show that has gained momentum recently to support you is enough for me to nod and sign on Qin Ke's name like a passionate fool, but this is a naive idea."
Wen Yuqi continued, "You don't have any evidence to prove how valuable Qin Yi Technology has been in this project. You didn't even bring - well, please - Qin Yi Technology's team over. Can I understand that? This is a very insincere performance, even suspected of selling sheep's meat to others?"
Qin Jue: "Ah."
"This is obviously risky for us. Don't think that Qinyi Technology is omnipotent. If our theater advertises its cooperation with Qin Ke, but in fact it does not bring significant surprises to customers, then obviously We will bear the loss of a guest whose expectations are not met, which will have an extremely negative impact on the current booming business trend of our theater."
Qin Jue said expressionlessly: "Is there a possibility that I just came to visit, it took less than fifteen minutes, and I have no intention of cooperating with you."
Wen Yuqi put down his tea cup and kept talking:
"Since you can't describe the business prospects of your project, nor can you show your strength as an organizer and leader, then what reason do I have to reach a cooperation with you and the doubtful Qinyi Technology? If you have enough Confidence and the ability to match that should now lead a whole team into formal conversations with me and my team.”
Qin Jue smiled: "Is pursuing the team too much a form of formalism?"
So what if she temporarily hired twenty or thirty extras to sit in the back? The scene was also a one-on-one conversation between her and Wen Yuqi.
She has seen the smartly dressed woman sitting behind Wen Yuqi several times but stopped talking, but this "member of the team" did not find the right time to interrupt and could only maintain a decent smile and talk to the others. Let’s do the background of Wen Yuqi’s speech.
This is what this successful man calls a team.
He doesn't explore the "bones", only looks at the outer layer of the skin, makes up his own mind based on preconceptions, and then outputs based on his own emotions. Qin Jue is too lazy to argue and just wants to laugh.
She asked before Wen Yuqi spoke: "So can our visit this afternoon go smoothly? You only need to answer yes and no."
Wen Yuqi raised a finger and shook it slowly:
"Well, you see, you are still very anxious. This is a taboo as a leader. For a leader, losing calmness and rationality is the most important thing."
"Let's start with the most basic question." He said in a persuasive tone, "Now tell me, what kind of work does Qinyi Technology undertake in your project? Do you have any expectations for the final results of this work? If so, what does it look like? Can you provide some finished products for me to verify?”
Qin Jue smiled and shook his head:
"Just search the words 'entertainment intern' on V-blog."
Wen Yuqi wouldn't even ask such a stupid question.
The seventh round of grouping has not been officially broadcast yet. Where can she get a sample for the Supreme Emperor to review?
On the other hand, there have been a lot of rumors about the cooperation between "Entertainment Intern" and Qinyi Technology on Vblog and hot search. Someone has compiled a more restored version from the oral sharing of the audience, which has attracted many people's amazement.
However, even if she took out her mobile phone and opened the V blog now and showed Wen Yuqi the real-time page to view, I'm afraid he would still turn a blind eye and continue to publish his "On Leaders".
Speaking of which, Qin Jue had already mentioned at the beginning of this conversation, "We can introduce in detail the selling points of the work and the content that Qin Yi Technology is actually involved in." However, Wen Yuqi obviously felt that only what came out of his mouth would be useful. is the focus of this conversation, and only topics led by him are reasonable and meaningful topics.
"You have already started to give up on yourself. This is the wrong way to respond. You know, as a leader..." Wen Yuqi continued.
Qin Jue's thoughts wandered outward. She realized that this was probably one of the ways the program team wanted to train them. After all, Red Theater is objectively an ideal partner, and if Qin Jue and the others did not have Lin En Theater as a guarantee, they would indeed have to work hard to get a talkative person like Wen Yuqi to sign the contract.
"...What's even more ridiculous is that you are an actor. You at least have your own agent, right? Even if you bring your agent here, the current situation will be much better. But you didn't do that. I don't know. Are you so confident or is your situation in the company so delicate that you have no one around you and can only come here alone..."
Wen Yuqi was still talking in the car.
To be fair, some of his theories about the team were correct, and some of the questions he asked Qin Jue were also to the point. But it is a pity that the rules of "Entertainment Intern" do not follow common sense, and Qin Jue will not go through a beautiful set of cutscenes before formally discussing cooperation as he wishes. She has just said that their blue team does not have time, no Will go into details.
Objectively speaking, Qin Jue couldn't give what Wen Yuqi needed. Subjectively, she had enough confidence and was too lazy to deal with this giant Buddha.
She interrupted Wen Yuqi's chatter:
"Can our visit this afternoon go smoothly? If you don't answer 'yes', I will simply default to 'no'."
Wen Yuqi sighed again: "You, why are you still..."
Qin Jue: "Excuse me, farewell."
She pushed back the untouched tea, got up and left.
