Chapter 924 Variety Quest

This is an unplanned thing. The reason why I agreed was that Chu Yuanxi originally planned to operate overseas East Asia himself. One sheep was also driven by two sheep, and she wanted to go to the United States to operate "The Unfaithful Lord". The island and the universe area were nothing more than adding two other localized operations.

Of course Monica definitely didn't think so...

This overseas operation is also the work of Gobi Network according to the division of labor and structure, and belongs to Zhao Jie. But in fact, the Baren Group recruited a director-level manager who specialized in overseas distribution experience and operation experience in Google and Facebook in the United States to operate on behalf of the agency. It originally planned to directly belong to Monica's subordinates. In this way, Monica's subordinates formed a structure similar to the "International Affairs and Business Group", which contained its own small world, some for media, some for distribution, and some for operations.

But now after Knight Code Box took over the Island and Universe Kingdoms as usual, the workload of this business group has been reduced by half. This is what Chu Yuanxi agreed more reluctantly.

This is equivalent to sacrificing some training opportunities, but the short-term effect is good. Knight CodePart is more professional. After operating it, the fans of Baren's overseas accounts will definitely be higher than those they have produced. Of course, it is conditional for Knight CodePart to accept that the advertising space in the mobile game "The Untamed" is full of Baren short videos. When they "localize" the two countries of East Asia, they must adjust the paid points and paid props to make money. This is not income, but the price.

Through this conflict, Chu Yuanxi found that the matter of Baren Group establishing a more large and capable overseas department needs to be put on the agenda, because in the future, "Enemy of Rome" will definitely focus on overseas, and you must be able to make efforts, and it is best to do whatever you want.

The so-called effort at will, for example, when "Come Out of the Mountain in Troubled Times" was released, a crucial factor was that Zhao Jie proposed h5, which carried out a successful viral marketing.

This was proposed and implemented based on the objective situation of domestic social networks, which was very familiar to us. If it was replaced by external networks, Zhao Jie promised that he would not be able to put it out. Even if it was proposed, no one would do it, because the group of people around Chu Yuanxi were not familiar with Facebook, Twitter, and other social networks as a whole. They knew that they should do it, but they didn't know how to do it.

In other words, it is definitely not possible to rely on Monica alone. At least, it is necessary to introduce overseas game distribution specialists and overseas operations experts. For overseas operations, Chu Yuanxi's requirement is that the operation team can put forward specific and feasible operation opinions and implementation plans, preferably based on social networks, followed by advertising buying model, hold Google and Facebook well, and finally offline.

To go offline, the most time-to-all way is to establish branches in foreign countries, and then the specific things are implemented by branches. However, the most important market at this moment is North America, and Chu Yuanxi is still hesitant about establishing branches in the United States.

Monica must start having a headache because she doesn't have a good candidate for game operation and distribution, and this candidate is best for American locals.

So Monica thought of Elizabeth, and Chu Yuanxi thought of Wenhao. To this day, not only through Elizabeth, but also Baren Group has set up a line with Disney and DreamWorks respectively, asking the other party to help out some ideas. It should be okay to give individuals a choice, especially Disney itself has a game department. Although it has been cut off, it has also asked Chu Yuanxi if he has any intention to buy it, although he refused at that time.

However, Wenhao is a better candidate. They have worked on Google, Facebook and Xiaomi respectively. They definitely know more than one company of operation talents. It is hard to say that the game is released, but it is not accurate.

"Wenhao, hello, no, no, right, I can't send you a gift package in the future. The game is resold to Ali hahaha." Chu Yuanxi smiled dryly with the phone, as if he felt the other party's contemptuous gaze.

Jili Gulu said what needed help, and Hugo got Chu Yuanxi's original intention: "You mean, let me provide a candidate to work in your company, instead of staying in Seattle or the Bay Area, right?"

"Yes, yes, you must come to the company, otherwise it will be inconvenient for communication. We need to plan a plan and we cannot completely expect the operation manager to plan a complete set of plans and then direct the company's programmer to develop corresponding functions."

"Then the cost is not low."

"It's okay, the game just sold less than 5 billion."

He cursed on the other side of the phone, probably because Alibaba is really rich. Although Wenhao also made about 200 million through Xiaomi IPO, 5 billion is still a very shocking number.

"Okay, I'll find some candidates for you." Wenhao hung up the phone happily.

Originally, Chu Yuanxi planned to wait for Wenhao's phone number or message the next day, but there was an unexpected situation. The next day was the 27th. I woke up in the morning and saw Qi Yu before I even went to work. Zhu Chi and Li Zifeng's circle of friends were a little wrong. Not only them, but many other WeChat friends from the film and television circles sent out various prayer pictures. What's wrong? What new regulations have the country issued?

I didn't care at that time. After he arrived at the company and went to Xiaokang for a walk, he was about to find Zhao Jie, but Uncle Sheng suddenly pulled him away: "Let's go to the Jixia Academy too to explore the class?"

"Is something happening?" Chu Yuanxi was stunned.

He kept nagging about going to the team because the first season of "Jixia Academy" should be about to be finished. Before the filming was completed, the boss always felt that it was appropriate to not show his face. After all, this is the first major project of Baren Media. Even from the perspective of supporting Zhu Chi's work, he should stand on stage in person. But he has been busy with other things, so the priority of small things like visiting is naturally infinitely pushed back.

"Didn't you read the news?" Uncle Sheng was quite surprised. "There was an accident in Jiangsu and Zhejiang Taiwan. The shooting intensity of variety shows was too high. Godfrey ran away at night..."

"Ah!" Chu Yuanxi suddenly understood what was going on in the morning's circle of friends. Moreover, Uncle Sheng suddenly pulled him to visit the set, which was targeted. "Jixia Academy" is also a variety show, and the filming was very hard. Chu Yuanxi said at this time that it was just right.

The two quickly drove to the set on the South Fourth Ring Road. It was almost noon when they arrived at the place and the crew was preparing to start work.

Although "Jixia Academy" is a dramatic indoor variety show, it is not large or outdoor. The game is basically intelligent puzzles and mutual snoring, but the props, lighting, and stage design still requires a lot of staff to manage, and there are also many professional audiences. Once a large group of people start work, they will be busy from noon to evening or even early in the morning.

So Chu Yuanxi had to start shooting before visiting the set, otherwise it would be a mess. It is said that some crews calculated the money from 0 o'clock, so they started shooting all day from midnight. I don't know if they could turn a day into 36 hours, which would save a lot of money.

Of course, there is no need for Baren Media to be so stingy, but the shooting of variety shows is different from film and television dramas. They are cut immediately after filming, and then they are done in the post-production immediately after filming, and they are rolling in this way. Therefore, for example, if you need to add a shot, you will be asked to add it at that time. It is easy to delay time, and it will be midnight if you drag it out one or two.

However, domestic variety shows have always been like this, so celebrities have nothing to complain about. Even super big brands such as Jay Chou and Mr. Wang have to abide by this industry rules when doing variety shows.

"Jixia Academy" did not invite such a big name, but the lineup was not weak. Qi Yu was the host and played the role of the Queen Wuyan on the scene. Li Zifeng is the leading artist of Baren Media, and his role is the Yin-Yang Family Zou Yan.

The nominal protagonist in this variety show is the sub-saint Mencius, who was finally played by Zhang Yishan. He is the cast that Qi Yu helped to help. When Zhang Yishan was a child star in the past, he became a powerful figure, but he still belongs to the front line no matter what, but unfortunately the traffic of the powerful figure is almost the same.

However, the cast that Zhu Chi personally coded was Mr. Huang Jue and the handsome guy Jing Boran, which was enough to make up for the lack of traffic. The former played the role of King Qi, while the latter was Huanyuan, a Taoist celebrity in the Warring States Period. Mr. Huang Jue had a brilliant temperament and was a clear stream in variety shows. Although he was old, his popularity was unexpectedly not low. Needless to say, Jing Boran became famous, and then he became very active in singing, dubbing, movies, variety shows, etc.

In addition, there are also people who brought funds to the group. One is Xiao Yang from the Scoop Brothers, who plays Gongsun Long, the famous "White Horse Not Horse". He ranked him number one in the long history of the Celestial Empire in the five thousand years.

The other one is Bao Chunlai, a badminton player. His agent took a lot of effort to get on Zhu Chi's line. Then he found that Zhu Chi was very welcome and quickly took a role and finally got Shen Buhe.

What makes this lineup feel more reassuring is that they have all appeared on variety shows, among which Mr. Huang has a strong sense of variety shows, and others are not weak. If there are shortcomings, there are still white sand to make up for it.

Chu Yuanxi and Uncle Sheng arrived, and the scene was talking about the show. Baisha’s habit was to talk about the past one star by one, what is the cause of this event, what is the external environment, what is the mentality of each character, who should be criticized, who should be temporarily formed with, etc., and then the lines. Variety shows, actors have a lot of room for their lines, especially male stars. As long as they understand the ins and outs and find their starting point, the lines are not a problem.

Without wanting to disturb Baisha's work, Chu Yuanxi was taken to the set by Yang Yuanmei and sat quietly in the audience. Zhu Chi immediately came over. These four earliest content teams of Baren Entertainment had been together in this seemingly closed open space for a long time.

"Then what, I didn't say it. Zhu Chi and Mei Yangyang, you can match the ambulance and first aid equipment first." Chu Yuanxi did not see any preparations related to rescue when he came in. "Although we are not outdoor exercise, the work intensity is as high. Why don't you even have an oxygen-absorbing instrument? Don't save the money we should spend."

Yang Yuanmei rolled her eyes wide and thought to herself that if it weren't for this morning, would you have thought of this?

Zhu Chi obediently raised his hand to surrender, and immediately arranged for his assistant to do the matter, and then stopped talking.

"If you have something, say it, don't be polite." Chu Yuanxi still remembered that Zhu Chi hung up his phone. At this time, he looked closer and found that Zhu Chi had less collagen on her face, and obviously she was very tired recently. "You have to pay attention to rest. If you have something, you have to leave it to Yang Yuanmei. If you are the boss, you don't have to do anything yourself."

Yang Yuanmei's rolling eyes suddenly showed a trend of evolving into a reincarnation eye, while Zhu Chi's eyes lit up, thinking that Chu Yuanxi was the sun coming out from the west, and actually called herself "infatuated"?

She said righteously: "If you want to say you are tired, who is not tired? Baisha is tired more than me, and celebrities are tired more than Baisha."

Chu Yuanxi looked at it and found that the others were not familiar with each other. He saw that Li Zifeng's face was indeed a little tired. Maybe he was unable to bear it after many consecutive days of continuous progress. But although he was tired, he could tell that he was very energetic and his eyes were quite focused. He went to the "Jixia Academy" group after filming "After the Troubled Times". Although the work intensity was not low, in his original words, he said that he was so happy that he could not have such a full work arrangement in the past many years.

Moreover, he was originally the lowest-ranked group of cast members, even if Bao Chunlai crossed the border, he was still a sports star and a national player. However, with the release of "A Troubled Times" and the online broadcast data exploded, his popularity as the male lead could not have increased, and there is no need to feel inferior now.

"What's wrong with you?"

When he asked Zhu Chi, he looked at Yang Yuanmei. Sure enough, Yang Yuanmei took over the right to say: "I want to launch a new variety show."

The "infatuated" sound made Chu Yuanxi feel goosebumps!

Uncle Sheng didn't realize it and asked, "New variety show? Is it the one that exercise?"

"No, no." Zhu Chi quickly waved his hand, "It's really hard to find a star for fitness. In addition to Li Zifeng, the one who manages her body more appropriately is Peng Yuyan and Wolf Warriors. Zhang Zhen seems to be able to do it, but the status is too big, I'm afraid I can't cover it. Moreover, this kind of young actor is more suitable for the show, and the actors who act in the actors themselves are not very suitable."

"Then what are you thinking?"

"Later, I discussed it with Mei Yangyang, and I felt that the business administration training you took us to your house to play was actually quite fun. It is essentially a large-scale role-playing + simulation management real-life game, with grouping, cooperation, and competition. The bank is actually the host. Isn't this very suitable for variety shows? And it's easy to film the second and third seasons. Different types, what's the name? Yes, the track, different tracks can be repeated several times."

"Yes, yes, we have all thought of the name, just called "Waiting for me to be the CEO". There is actually no threshold for variety shows stars, anyone can come. It is definitely no problem to find those who meet the character of a domineering president, such as Brother Xiao Ming." Yang Yuanmei, like Xiao Ji Duomi, looks very well-behaved, which is completely inconsistent with her usual style, especially when she was just "reincarnated".

So much so that Chu Yuanxi immediately asked: "What's going on with you? Yang Yuanmei, isn't this like you?"

"You are not allowed to work hard for the next time? You think, if others have to watch the show, I will be different. I want to bring whoever I want to form the CP to bring together. Isn't it super exciting to think about it?"

"You know, do you know why young and handsome guys are rampant a few years ago and are called the choice of mainstream audiences?" This time it was Chu Yuanxi's turn to roll his eyes, "Because there are several aunts responsible for purchasing TV series on TV, it's called the choice of mainstream audiences. You are crazy aunties, save money!"

"You are just an aunt, no, an uncle, no, you are an uncle, and I am still a girl."

Yang Yuanmei was frantically thinking, Zhu Chi pulled her and asked, "Can you succeed? This show actually has a certain threshold, but we are a startup company, so it's just right to do this."

Chu Yuanxi said that Zhu Chi is OK, but his level has not increased for a few days. He can even speak such a professional term as "track".

In fact, this training was not invented by Chu Yuanxi, but was used by many large enterprises to enlighten new management positions. Most of the so-called new management positions are backbones promoted from R&D and operation lines, and they are very good at doing business, but they are completely unfamiliar with finance, corporate planning, policy interpretation, etc., and at least similar concepts can be implanted through games, so that they will not be in a stubborn mind.

Specifically, it is also very simple. Each team is n individuals, some people are CEOs, some are ctos, etc., and the company's CXO title is divided, and the bank then controls the timeline and is responsible for lending to various companies.

The rigid rule in the game is that everyone must be in the same industry. After the gun is fired, each company operates according to the year as a unit of time, and there is a competitive relationship between each other. The business content is nothing more than recruiting employees, developing a certain technology, investing in product lines, purchasing raw materials, selling products, etc. It is basically the simplified corporate process. All financing is collateral loans and does not involve equity financing.

During the process, everyone in the process will influence the company's decisions based on their own authority. For example, when a company invests in a product line, cfo can reject the company's investment decisions based on the bank's product expectations and investment expenses and construction cycles for the next few years.

There are two most important points in the rules of the game. Only companies that make profits in the year can apply for loans for the next year, while companies that make losses do not need to pay taxes. However, the game also rigidly stipulates the types of products that all companies can choose from, and the range of options is not large, and they are all on the same track, which is easy to collide with other teams. This is also the essence of this game.

At each annual settlement, banks will announce the latest interest rate policies, which often cause companies to be caught off guard. They will also release the latest market trends, adjust the profit expectations of various products in the next few years, and even launch brand new products and corresponding product lines investment prices and R&D prices, and formulate loan strategies to encourage innovation.
