Chapter 470: All Lines Started Working, Completely Crazy
A few days later, "Wandering Blue Star 2" was officially released.
Yang Ruoqian and Chang Zhiqing came to the vicinity of Qianda Plaza. Looking at the surging crowds in front of them, their faces showed wonderful expressions.
"Do you think we should ask the company to arrange a special passage for us?" Chang Zhiqing complained, "Every time there is a big event, we have to experience the crowds."
There have been signs of the crowds in Qianda Plaza for a long time.
We can see the clues from the previous YTG championship event day.
However, although there were many people at that time, it did not exceed the upper limit of a shopping mall to receive guests. At most, the speed was a little slower.
And now, the parking lot of Qianda Plaza is completely insufficient.
Looking outside from the upstairs, there are long queues waiting for parking spaces.
"The supporting facilities are not well done..." Yang Ruoqian pressed his forehead and exhaled, "But the people in the company must have found out. Now the opposite side is under construction, and they should be repairing the parking lot."
Although this place is already an absolute prosperous entertainment center in terms of traffic and income, it is a new place after all, and many supporting facilities have not kept up in time.
Chang Zhiqing symbolically took a sip of the milk tea in her hand: "That's not what I meant... Even if the supporting facilities are in place, there will still be a lot of people. What I meant is, should we have an exclusive passage?"
"Oh, this." Yang Ruoqian shrugged his shoulders, "Then there's no need to be so troublesome. If we really want to go faster, we can go through the employee passage."
Such a large entertainment complex naturally has an employee-exclusive passage.
Chang Zhiqing was shocked: "Then why haven't we ever walked through the employee passage once?!"
"I thought it would be more atmospheric if there were more people?" Yang Ruoqian explained slowly, "It would be so desolate to walk through the employee passage."
"You are quite particular about the sense of ceremony, right..."
It's not about the sense of ceremony, but I want to witness with my own eyes how much effect it has had by organizing so many big events and removing various heroes from the cast of "Wandering Blue Star 2".
How can you feel it so intuitively by walking through the employee passage?
It seems that the effect cannot be said to be immediate, but only negligible.
There is no silence at all, okay?
This was almost the scene on the day when Luo Ruying held a concert.
According to the current trend, there is no need to look at it. The data for this quarter can be said to be completely bad.
"Forget it. Once "Black Robe Inspection Team 2", Luo Ruyin, and all kinds of messy things came out, I didn't have much plan for this quarter." Mr. Yang has already had a certain psychological expectation of such a result, and his mentality is relatively stable at this time-after all, he made a small loss last quarter, so it doesn't matter if he doesn't lose money this quarter.
Movies, stars, etc., look huge costs, and the numbers look a lot, but the damage caused to the group is indeed getting lower and lower.
Success is expected, and failure is actually not a big blow to the company's cash flow.
The next quarter is the quarter that Yang Ruoqian focuses on, and it can be said that he is desperate.
The site for the zoo has been selected, the bidding for the engineering team has been completed, and the employee screening is almost completed. Build! Just like before, find a bunch of engineering teams to jointly construct regardless of cost and share the construction time.
The cruise ship plan proposed by Shao Yiqi can also be put on the table - after consolidating the IP value of "The Black Robe Inspection Team" overseas and using Luo Ruying to create an AI star image that is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people internationally, Yang Ruoqian finally saw what a "money printing machine" is.
You can also try to select some global metropolises to build amusement park branches.
Domestic expenses alone can no longer withstand the destruction of this cash flow.
The creators of various fan fictions and comics around the world have to give a certain proportion of their income to the group.
Various international advertisers, in order to please the audience, have countless endorsement fees for one endorsement.
Although these funds are still stuck overseas and have not been settled and recorded due to Yang Ruoqian's desperate delay, no matter how much they are delayed, they must be recorded in the next quarter.
Once these funds are recorded and form a stable flow of water, there is almost no possibility of being shaken.
Faced with this kind of inferior cash flow with almost zero cost and rent collection, the production cost of a super special effects movie is no longer a critical matter.
Moreover, Yang Ruoqian and the system have been in love and hate for two years, and he can basically figure out what the rules are.
When the company changed from a startup to a local large enterprise, it underwent a major upgrade.
When it transitioned from a local large enterprise to a national large enterprise, it also underwent a major upgrade.
Now that Kuiguang Group has established its position in the domestic market and is officially heading towards the international market, there will inevitably be a major upgrade.
Every upgrade will bring new challenges to Yang Ruoqian.
The last time was to increase the proportion, so that the commission that can be obtained from profits and the subsidies that can be obtained from losses are both less.
I don’t know what kind of upgrade will be this time, but Yang Ruoqian can be sure of one thing-in the next quarter, the standard for wanting to get wool may be higher.
"It’s a pity that I didn’t make more money this time." Yang Ruoqian sighed, "The difficulty of making money will definitely increase sharply in the future."
After sighing, Yang Ruoqian and Chang Zhiqing walked through the employee channel and came to the cinema unimpeded.
Just as he expected, even the upgraded and expanded cinema was still crowded.
From this level of popularity, "Wandering Blue Star 2" is even more popular in China than "The Black Robe Inspection Team 2"!
Yang Ruoqian has tried his best to distract the audience's attention and promote other projects to divert everyone's attention to "Wandering Blue Star 2", but in the end, he was still busy like this.
After watching the movie, I came to the company the next day.
As expected, Qi Mu was waiting in the office early with a summary document in his hand.
Yang Ruoqian was not polite to the secretary: "Let's talk, it's an old process. You are familiar with it, and I am familiar with it."
Qi Mu smiled and said: "Mr. Yang, judging from the data performance on the first day, the box office of "Wandering Blue Star 2" will exceed "The Black Robe Inspection Team 2". The theater has arranged a lot of screenings, but they are still full, and now they are urgently increasing them."
"The data performance on the first day is more than... "The Black Robe Inspection Team 2"?!"
You should know that for superhero-themed movies like "The Black Robe Inspection Team 2", the data curve will be steeper, and the performance in the later stage will be relatively weak.
For a sci-fi film like "Wandering Blue Planet 2", the data curve will be relatively smoother, and the decline will be relatively gentle.
In other words, if there is no accident, the performance of "Wandering Blue Planet 2" in the domestic market will definitely be better than "Black Robe Inspection Team 2"!
This is still under the premise that Yang Ruoqian has done everything he can to reduce the publicity and popularity!
"I can't stand this kind of blow." Yang Ruoqian didn't even think of looking at the pile of data, "Next, let's discuss what to do next quarter."
Qi Mu nodded and roughly summarized the projects that have been confirmed.
Including the zoo plan and Luo Ruzhen's overseas tour plan.
After listening, Yang Ruoqian asked: "What is the operation plan for Luo Ruzhen's overseas tour?"
Yang Ruoqian and Qi Mu had discussed this issue before, and they came to a unanimous conclusion at the time-finish the domestic tour first, and then think about the international tour.
Even if the overseas audience is very impatient, they can't rush it.
Qi Mu was stunned for a moment and said, "The basic arrangement is similar to the domestic tour... But we will design different theme venues according to the local culture of different countries, and design different costumes and songs for Luo Rujin. The venue selection will also try to meet the needs of those "new era" audiences as much as possible."
The people who buy tickets for Luo Rujin's concert, both at home and abroad, are not just traditional fans.
In other words, the proportion of traditional fans is not even particularly high.
So after detailed discussions, the operation plans to follow the successful template of domestic concerts and tailor different performance experiences for different fans in different regions.
"No." Yang Ruoqian shook his head seriously, "The idea of international tours cannot be simply applied to the domestic idea, and it is even more impossible to simply change the skin like this."
Simply, change the skin?
Qi Mu was shocked for a while when he heard Yang Ruoqian's words.
Except that the ai on the stage is still the original ai, the style, language, costumes and even the lyrics and songs have all changed. Can this be called a skin change?
If this is called a skin change, then aren't all the concerts in the world skin-changing concerts?
I can only say that perhaps the IP of Luo Ruyin itself symbolizes the group, so Mr. Yang has particularly high requirements for her.
Qi Mu calmed down and nodded and said, "Mr. Yang, do you have any new ideas?"
Yang Ruoqian thought about the cruise plan that Shao Yiqi promised him, and replied, "We shouldn't think of the traditional concert when we think of the concert... Although we have made many changes to the concert's scenery and put a lot of interactive holographic projectors at the concert, this change is actually not thorough, and it has not completely achieved the kind of "three-dimensional" effect I want."
Different from the "three-dimensional" effect of traditional concerts...
Qi Mu thought thoughtfully: "Mr. Yang, how do you plan to design this three-dimensional effect?"
If it were usual, the secretary would definitely say a bunch of things like "The concert's scenery is temporary, it is impossible to create a dedicated scene for a concert, and it is impossible to raise the cost of the concert so high."
But since Mr. Yang said this to himself face to face, he must have considered all aspects of the problem.
This kind of trivial matter that everyone knows must have been included.
Yang Ruoqian said with a smile: "We can simply put Luo Rujin's tour venue on a giant cruise ship, what do you think?"
Qi Mu was absent-minded for a while: "Cruise ship?"
"That's right." Yang Ruoqian nodded, "It is really unrealistic to want to completely transform the traditional concert venue into a scene with a full sense of science fiction, interaction, and atmosphere... With so many permanent professional equipment, this place can't be used exclusively for Luo Rujin's concerts in the future, right?"
"So, let's just make this performance venue move."
"On the deck of the cruise ship, we can design a set of Luo Rujin-themed sea roller coasters."
"You can arrange various AI-related interactive props and entertainment projects in the cabin."
"There are also theme restaurants... shopping malls... nightclubs... We can even make special renovations to the guest rooms on the cruise ship, so that this dream experience from the 'future' will run through the entire journey of all tourists."
"..."
Yang Ruoqian talked a lot, then looked at Qi Mu and said, "What do you think?"
Qi Mu herself likes Luo Ruyin very much, and likes that concert even more... When asked this question, she forced herself to suppress her fantasy and personal situation, and said in a businesslike manner: "Mr. Yang, your idea is very good, and it makes people yearn for it, but if you want to do it specifically, there are a few issues that need to be paid attention to."
"First of all, the order of a cruise ship will take years. If you plan to implement this project, it may be difficult to do it next quarter."
Yang Ruoqian waved his hand: "Don't worry about this Heart... Gaoyao Group is doing related business. I will let Shao Yiqi go there to negotiate and give us ready-made products directly. The only troublesome thing is the handover, but it won't waste much time. "
"Mr. Yang has thought it over carefully." The secretary praised very naturally and fluently, "The second small problem is the funding... With the current cash flow of the group and the overseas income in recent times, it can only barely be enough to cover the expenses of this cruise ship, and this kind of cruise project usually has a long payback period. "
Building a zoo here, and building an extremely luxurious mobile theme park on the sea there, and it is an AI version.
Only the cash flow of Kuiguang Group is so abundant that it cannot be added. Otherwise, even many giant companies with higher turnover cannot support this level of expenditure.
Yang Ruoqian smiled and replied: "We always look far ahead."
Qi Mu was completely convinced by this reason, she nodded gently: "Boss Yang, do you have any other ideas?"
Zoo, concert, sea theme park, Luo Ruqin's new movie...
Yang Ruoqian quickly went through the project in his mind and said: "Leave some resources, we will start another variety show next quarter."
Isn't it not that you can't lose money?
Isn't it that movies can't stop the group from running all the way on the road to making money?
Then I will start all the projects that can be started in the entertainment industry in one quarter, building a large-scale project, making a big move, killing relatives for the sake of justice, and a disaster is coming!
Movies can't stop it, variety shows can't stop it, but there is strength in numbers. If you do all the things that can be done in the entertainment industry, can't you stop it?
When the system is upgraded to the international version, go crazy! (End of this chapter)
