Chapter 190 Life Is Not Easy, Mr. Yang Performs Tricks
What sounded together with the sound of the office door closing was a familiar voice.
Cui Qing, who had just met a few days ago, asked in an incomprehensible tone: "Mr. Yang, this is Xiao Cui, do you remember me?"
Brother, you are older than me, okay...
Although Yang Ruoqian has spent a total of more than thirty years in his two lifetimes, it does not prevent him from being a young man in his twenties now.
"Producer Cui is joking, I don't have Alzheimer's disease yet." Yang Ruoqian joked, "What's the matter?"
In fact, the two of them were not familiar at all, so Yang Ruoqian decided to go straight to the topic.
The rest of the trivial matters for the crew had basically been finalized during the last meal. Now that they were on the phone, something new must have happened.
Cui Qing smiled and said: "It's not a big deal, I just want to ask if you have been busy recently. We have a special internal event here that we would like to invite you to participate in."
When talking about the second half, Cui Qing's tone gradually became mysterious.
If you were an ordinary person, you might not be able to help but wonder what this mysterious event is - a big company like this, which is not short of money, usually organizes events such as cruise parties, nightclubs, etc.
After two lifetimes, Mr. Yang had never seen any kind of temptation. He immediately said with some vigilance: "I am a family man, so I will not participate in such activities... Also, please restrain yourself and don't lead the small businessmen into trouble." Yeah, that kid has a lot of experience."
There was silence on the other end of the phone.
"Mr. Yang... I want to invite you to participate in the event here as a supporting role." Cui Qing said with a bit of embarrassment, "There happens to be a role that suits you. You can make a guest appearance. There are not many scenes and no acting skills are required. .”
"I see that you are always running to the set. I also asked the guest actors two days ago, so I thought you might be interested in this matter..."
"We happen to have a supporting role here. Do you have any ideas?"
As an adult, Cui Qing certainly knew what Yang Ruoqian had misunderstood his words.
Mr. Yang doesn’t give out a lot of benefits to his employees every day. How do you think the crew can be so arrogant?
In fact, from a financial point of view, it's not that it can't be arrogant, but it's a pity that Chengyu's senior management and director are very concerned about the performance of the film, and are unwilling to spend too much money on irrelevant things, and they don't put their hands into the salary.
"...Oh, you're talking about a guest appearance. What kind of role is it?"
As a boss, especially when facing partners, you must maintain a calm attitude even if the situation is already embarrassing.
The reason why Yang Ruoqian didn't refuse immediately was because he had already missed hundreds of thousands by rejecting the associate producer last time.
If you don’t ask clearly this time, what should you do if you miss another astronomical number?
Although Yang Ruoqian will not regard acting and singing as a career to make money, it is not impossible to make a guest appearance in a useless role and shoot a few small scenes for a little entertainment.
It sounds interesting.
Cui Qing sighed: "Yes, I'm asking you to make a guest appearance in the movie. Your role is a top leader of the villain company in the movie. But don't worry, just treat it like a joke. We won't waste your time, and the crew will also give you a red envelope." "
When it comes to finding non-professional actors with status and status to play a guest role, paying them is generally something that cannot be done carelessly.
Bosses make hundreds of millions every minute. If they are paid according to regular salary, how much should they pay to reflect their identity and reasonably occupy their time?
When word spread, it was like embezzling funds, and you couldn’t keep it off your face.
So it is better to invite these bosses to come and have fun in an informal way, to support the movie, and then send some tens of thousands of yuan in red envelopes to express our gratitude.
Moreover, the money for these red envelopes does not come from the filming expenses.
The reason why Cui Qing asked his partner Yang Ruoqian to make a guest appearance was because Yang Ruoqian himself looked good. Moreover, this high-level role does not require any acting skills. Yang Ruoqian is a company boss himself, so he can play the role as he is.
Of course, for Mr. Yang, there is not much difference whether it is a red envelope of tens of thousands or a salary of hundreds of thousands or millions.
Compared with these material pursuits, Mr. Yang, who has achieved financial freedom long ago, should pursue more high-end things.
Such as honor, such as fame, such as one's previous hobbies and dreams.
And all of these can be realized in one movie.
Red envelopes or whatever, just be meaningful. When the movie is released, Mr. Yang's name will be displayed in a slightly more conspicuous position, so that the sincerity can be highlighted.
"How about it? Can you spare the time?" Cui Qing felt that his idea was very correct and his flattery was perfect, so he asked confidently.
Yang Ruoqian immediately replied: "If you have time, you must have time. By the way, I'm curious to ask...how much is this red envelope?"
Without thinking, Cui Qing blurted out: "Don't worry, your name will appear in... eh? How much is in the red envelope?"
How much money is in the red envelope? !
Is it possible to say this?
No, Mr. Yang’s reaction was wrong.
Such a young and promising person cares about things like money... Could it be that there is something in his words, something to mention about himself and the crew?
Just when Cui Qing was thinking wildly, he heard Mr. Yang on the other end of the phone add: "I'm just curious. A layman doesn't know the rules of your industry."
Oh...just curious.
Cui Qing felt relieved and replied with a smile: "About fifty or sixty thousand, which is interesting."
Fifty or sixty thousand!
A few shots can cost 50,000 to 60,000 yuan, which is a lot!
Moreover, the system has not issued a warning, indicating that making some unplanned income is allowed.
Yang Ruoqian, who wanted to make some extra money, immediately agreed: "Okay, when? Do you need to make any preparations?"
Cui Qing listened to Mr. Yang's very interested tone and confirmed his judgment in his heart.
Sure enough, the big boss is good at this.
It can't be for the money in the red envelope, right?
Cui Qing said: "Mr. Yang, you play the role of the leader of a villain company. You don't need to prepare any clothes, just wear the clothes you usually wear to work. There is no need to deliberately perform anything, just act as you usually do at work."
"Are you free tomorrow afternoon? If not, it's okay. You are shooting an independent shot. The scene layout can be completed in ten minutes. You can come anytime."
With only one day's notice in advance, the schedule was too tight. Mr. Yang had to take time out of his busy schedule to make a guest appearance, and he might not be able to make it.
So reserve more time.
Yang Ruoqian thought for a moment and asked tentatively: "Does it have to be after tomorrow? Can it be done this afternoon?"
It's not that Mr. Yang is greedy for money, it's just that the subsidies issued by the system in the last wave have almost been used up. This wave of red envelopes can bring back a lot of blood.
Although Chang Zhiqing is responsible for the family's expenses, as the chairman of such a large company, Yang Ruoqian cannot avoid having to pay for many daily expenses out of his own pocket.
Yang Ruoqian has almost been praised as a billionaire outside, so he can't ask his wife and employee for pocket money, right?
"I didn't think carefully. Mr. Yang should have important arrangements after tomorrow, right?" Cui Qing laughed, "Okay, okay, the crew is also free this afternoon."
There is still a long time until the afternoon, and the shots involving Yang Ruoqian are also very simple. We will discuss it with Director An's prop team then, and we can change the plan soon.
Basically there will be no delays.
"Okay, I'll see you later." Yang Ruoqian hung up the phone, picked up his clothes from the chair, looked at the mirror several times, and walked out of the office in high spirits.
As soon as he walked out, Yang Ruoqian almost ran into the operations director Weng Ziqin who hurriedly knocked on the door.
Time flies. A year ago, Weng Ziqin was just an operations girl, and now she has become a company executive.
Weng Ziqin made way for him, pinched the information in his hand, and said with some worry on his face: "Mr. Yang, after the direction of the live broadcast business changed, other anchors took advantage of it and seized a lot of the market. We..."
This girl looks quite anxious.
Under normal circumstances, if an employee almost bumps into a leader, even if they are very familiar with each other, they will give a more or less symbolic apology.
Now Weng Ziqin comes straight to the point, which shows that the situation has indeed deteriorated a bit and a lot of market share has been lost.
And this is indeed the case.
After Weng Ziqin followed Yang Ruoqian's orders, strictly screened merchants, and even sent a special person to inspect the manufacturer's production base on the spot, the originally prosperous live streaming business immediately experienced a significant decline.
What's more terrifying than the decline in revenue is the emergence of competitors.
Under the careful arrangements of the employees, the company's business coverage was extremely wide, but in order to complete Yang Ruoqian's mission, they had to terminate cooperation with many merchants...
And these businesses that were shut out turned around and found other anchors or guilds who were eager to get a piece of the pie. The two hit it off and quickly took away the market that had been left vacant.
Yang Ruoqian straightened his collar and straightened it out, then turned it down again, and said with a relaxed expression: "Just maintain the current policy and don't make any changes. The company is now on a healthy and correct path."
"Okay, I still have a major project to catch up on. You can implement the live broadcast delivery according to the original plan. You can discuss other details with several other people in charge. There is no need to ask for my opinion."
After that, Yang Ruoqian hurriedly walked to the elevator and disappeared from Weng Ziqin's sight in a blink of an eye.
Weng Ziqin actually still had a lot to say, but she still kept everything in her stomach - Mr. Yang, who was always generous and generous, just said that he had a "big project" to discuss.
How could you take up his time anymore?
You know, this is the first time that these three words "big project" have come out of Mr. Yang's mouth!
At least it was the first time it was revealed directly to employees.
Seeing Mr. Yang's indifference to the live streaming project, Weng Ziqin simply couldn't imagine how important this project was.
At least, one live broadcast can sell hundreds of millions of items with goods, which pales in comparison to this mysterious new project.
Perhaps after it is completed, it can bring 50 million, hundreds of millions, or even hundreds of millions of profits to the company in one go?
Employees who have become numb to Yang Ruoqian's ability to create miracles now try to exaggerate when guessing numbers.
In the eyes of many old employees, Yang Ruoqian is already a mythical existence.
In just one year, Kuaiguang Group has grown from scratch to a local entertainment giant, with various projects worth tens of millions and hundreds of millions, which are nothing in the company.
Recalling that when he first joined the company, Weng Ziqin felt satisfied even if he could earn 50,000 yuan. When he heard about projects worth 10 million yuan, he would become so nervous that his palms would sweat.
"Now we are a big company...we are as powerful as Mr. Yang, but we have to be so cautious and hasty. I think we should start at 500 million."
fifty thousand?
Shame on you!
A project worth RMB 50,000 would be laughed at by everyone in the company for half a month if it was placed in Kuaiguang Group!
…
"A big project worth fifty thousand yuan, I'm here!" Yang Ruoqian started the car and rushed towards the set without stopping, "Whatever the live broadcast is about bringing goods, whoever wants to bring them can take them!"
Tens of minutes later, Yang Ruoqian arrived at the set early.
But what was different from last time was that this time he did not run to the comfortable room with a clear panoramic view of the studio, but went directly to the shooting location.
The photography venue, various props, and various high-end shooting equipment are all arranged in an orderly manner.
The crew is still taking a lunch break. Some people are busy working on their meals, while others are taking the time to take a nap.
But there were still a few sharp-eyed people who noticed Yang Ruoqian.
"Mr. Yang is here!"
"Landlord, you are here again. I heard that I will be filming a scene with you today..."
"Don't sleep, the sponsor's father is here."
Yang Ruoqian looked over there and found that not only the actors were standing in the crew, but also the senior executives of Chengyu who had gone to the peninsula for study.
Doing the math, it seems that half a month has indeed passed.
An employee who won the divine prize finally ended his exile.
"You look good, how many pounds have you gained?" Yang Ruoqian looked at Shao Yiqi, who was in a trance and getting thinner day by day, and patted his shoulder with a smile, "Did you enjoy your trip?"
"Haha, it's really great." Shao Yiqi rolled his eyes, looked around, and whispered to Yang Ruoqian, "I asked you not to arrange such rewards for me in the future. You see, I am short of money for travel. Someone?"
Yang Ruoqian glanced at the time and refused to admit that his behavior, which was called traveling, was actually an exile: "That's the prize you won by yourself. What does it have to do with me? Our lottery is fair and aboveboard, and there is no shady story... Okay? Don’t talk nonsense to you, I will take a few more shots later.”
At this time, the lunch break was just over.
An Zhou walked in from outside the studio, holding a striped black and white slate in his hand.
Director An, who is in the shooting state, has a somewhat different temperament from An Zhou at the wine table. Even for a few simple shots, he is very thoughtful.
Even if there were only a few simple lines, he prepared a teleprompter for Yang Ruoqian and personally deleted and modified the relevant scripts.
Otherwise, it would be too embarrassing for a big boss to memorize lines here for several hours and still get "clicked" all the time.
Even the script is very simple. Normal people only need to take a look at it to know how to play the villain leader.
What's more, Yang Ruoqian is the leader of the company, and there is no threshold.
"Mr. Yang is a practical person, so I won't talk nonsense."
"This is the script, please read it first."
