Chapter 17 Another goal(1/2)
Xu Luo smiled and said, "Confidence is not a bad thing. TVB has too strict requirements on you actors, and you are also quite stingy. Maybe it's because Boss Shao and the others have the traditional virtues of the older generation of businessmen who are diligent and thrifty."
"The difference between me and them, the older generation, is that I believe that the most satisfactory outcome can only be achieved through mutual success."
"As long as you can produce excellent results, I can give you a higher salary than TVB, and I will not sign a seven or eight-year contract like TVB. My contract period is only five years."
Hearing this, Pan Yingzi became interested, "Tell me how your company will be different from TVB?"
She would like to know where this young man got the courage to challenge TVB.
Is he an investor who can write scripts, or is he really a real person?
Because TVB is like a biological son in the hearts of Hong Kong people and has deep-rooted influence.
A young man without a TV station, a film company, or even an employee, what does he have?
"Because I want to monopolize most of the artists in the Hong Kong film industry." Xu Luo dropped a bombshell that shocked both Zhao Yazhi and Pan Yingzi.
Before the two of them could react, he continued: "You all come from TVB, and you also know that once TVB artists get older, they will be persuaded to quit. In fact, I think that the actors who were once popular in the film industry
Dillon will probably face this problem soon."
"So, as long as I grab all the potential artists first, no matter it is TVB, Li TV, or Shaw Brothers and Golden Harvest, they will all depend on me."
Pan Yingzi never expected that this young man's ambition would be so big.
For artists who want to monopolize the entire Hong Kong, if you follow what he said, the game is indeed a big one.
Of course, there are also loopholes here.
And it’s still a big loophole.
Even if he really finds a large number of seedlings, how can he make these seedlings become popular?
If you are an artist without any achievements, it is of no use.
With the influence of those companies, they can train a group of outstanding newcomers in the shortest possible time.
By then it will be useless to hold people like him in your hands.
Pan Yingzi asked the doubts in her heart.
Originally, Zhao Yazhi also had concerns about this, but since Pan Yingzi had already asked, she chose to listen.
Faced with Pan Yingzi's questions, Xu Luo was not worried at all.
He smiled: "Sister Zi is indeed a senior. She thinks about the issues very thoughtfully and comprehensively. After all, we don't have a studio, a theater chain, or even employees."
"But since I said this, I naturally have my own solution, but this is a commercial secret. Please forgive me, Sister Zi."
In fact, he is just trying to make a big pie now.
Just like Jack Ma, everyone he meets is fooled.
Without theaters, it is difficult to open a movie company, and it is even harder to make famous artists.
But even if the work is produced and cannot be released in Shaw Brothers theaters, you can still choose to find other theaters to cooperate.
There are only a few theater lines in Hong Kong now.
Shaw Brothers and Golden Harvest are basically self-produced and sold. The remaining one plays fixed genres, and the other two are rented to others and do not have their own film companies.
One of them is owned by the Lei family, and the other one shows European and American movies.
In addition to these, there are also some independent theaters, some of which are specially shown in the streets and alleys, and some are similar to luxury theaters for watching stage plays.
Once the film is produced, you can definitely seek cooperation with theaters other than Golden Harvest and Shaw Brothers. As long as the profit margin is high enough, there will generally be no problems.
In addition to these, the magazine he prepared can also create public opinion when necessary and hype up artists and movies.
As long as the gimmick is big enough, it will definitely attract a lot of people.
In Xu Luo's entertainment landscape, these companies are all closely linked.
Use magazines to hype your works, use your works to make artists famous, and then rely on a large number of artists to feed other film companies. Every step is considered.
But now Pan Yingzi is not an artist in his company, let alone his woman, so there is no need to say too much.
And the road must be walked step by step.
Seeing that he didn't want to go on, Pan Yingzi didn't ask any further questions.
Just making some insinuations, asking questions about company structure, artist signings, company development direction, etc.
This woman is not just good at acting, and all the questions she asked were to the point.
As long as the questions are not sensitive, Xu Luo will answer them readily.
Soon, nearly half an hour had passed.
Pan Yingzi also noticed from Xu Luo's conversation that this person really didn't talk nonsense and thought clearly in every aspect.
Although his company currently has no employees, Pan Yingzi has an inexplicable feeling that based on the information he has revealed now, such a company is indeed quite promising.
But these alone are not enough for Pan Yingzi to agree immediately.
"I see that Xu Sheng, you are very optimistic about the future of this company." She smiled and said, "It's just that I don't quite understand your business plan yet..."
Before she finished speaking, Xu Luo threw out another business plan.
If you just recruit a professional manager, he doesn't need to do this at all.
But now we have to rely on the other party's reputation to become famous. If you want to get anything, you have to come up with something that can make others tempted.
"Sister Zi, this is our company's business secret, but I believe in Sister Zi's character." Xu Luo looked serious, "If you have any questions, Sister Zi, you can ask me at any time."
Pan Yingzi was more curious about what kind of trade secret this was.
Although Xu Luo said it was a business secret, he also said he trusted himself.
Such an action made her heart move even though she said she didn't intend to watch it.
This is exactly Xu Luo's method. He first used the script to attract Pan Yingzi's attention, and then revealed some information during the conversation with her.
When she took the bait and became interested in her own entertainment company, she came up with a project plan to increase its mystery.
"Since you believe me, I'll take a look." Pan Yingzi took the plan over and looked at it without any hesitation.
Zhao Yazhi next to her secretly gave Xu Luo a look and asked what if Pan Yingzi didn't agree after reading it?
Xu Luo gave her a reassuring look and communicated with his eyes: You have to believe in your man!
Pan Yingzi opened Xu Luo's project plan very seriously.
Start with the entertainment agency, and describe how this company makes money, what advantages it has over other companies, its business model, star-making plans, and the entertainment company’s market.
It is not written in too much detail, almost every item can be summarized in one sentence.
In less than ten minutes, Pan Yingzi finished reading the project plan.
She is not a professional investor, so she feels that there are no loopholes in this project plan.
Let’s solve it from the source first, which is to set up a film company, then make films, find cooperation with theaters and share profits.
The goal is to turn this film company into a superstar manufacturer.
This is very close to TVB's model. The difficulty lies in how many high-quality works can make the signed artists popular.
If the contract lasts for three to five years and you are so miserable that you can't even see your face, others might as well switch jobs to companies like TVB or Shaw Brothers Golden Harvest.
Except for the difficulty in this aspect, the rest seems to be no problem.
Pan Yingzi closed the plan and handed it to Xu Luo, "It seems that you are well prepared, but I can't agree to it for the time being. After all, these are just your words now."
"Sister Zi, why don't we each take a step back? I need your reputation, so I can give you a profit." Xu Luo said bluntly, "You can be the general manager of our company. You don't need to take care of things. You can also go to other places for development. In the meantime,
, I will give you two dividend shares."
"The signing period is three years. If after one year, you feel that this company has no hope, and if this company does anything to discredit your image, you can terminate the contract at any time without penalty?"
"So generous?" Pan Yingzi was very surprised, "Give me two cents of dividend shares and I still don't care?"
"Yes, but when you need help, you have to help, such as your connections." Xu Luo smiled and said, "This doesn't seem to be a difficult thing for you."
Pan Yingzi thought for a moment, "I need to think about it."
She is now very unhappy about her marriage and plans to go to Taiwan for development, so it is impossible for her to really join Xu Luo's company just after hearing such words.
However, if Xu Luo really divides her into two dividend shares, if her development in Taiwan does not go smoothly, she can return to Hong Kong, which is a way out.
I'm slightly tempted, but not enough to join directly.
Zhao Yazhi, who was standing next to him, finally found a chance to speak, "We've almost finished drinking tea now, why don't we go see Aluo's company."
"Okay, I have nothing to do today anyway." Pan Yingzi agreed immediately.
The three of them diverted to Xu Luo's Unicorn Company.
When they first arrived at the company, Pan Yingzi and Zhao Yazhi were both stunned. They thought it was a small company, but they didn't expect it to be opened in Central.
And it seems to be quite large.
There is a gilded signboard hanging at the door of the company, [Unicorn Entertainment Company].
After entering, you will see that it is divided into two large areas, namely "Fashion" magazine and "FHM" magazine.
