Chapter 442: Two-Pronged Approach, Winning Is Assured
After the Spring Festival, the group's employees couldn't wait to return to the company and began to work on the work they had been thinking about throughout the holiday.
In the president's office, the secretary was also waiting impatiently, holding a pile of suspicious documents in her hands.
Yang Ruoqian looked at Qi Mu, was silent for a while, and asked: "Qi Mu, did you secretly work overtime during the Spring Festival without my knowledge?"
With so many documents, even if you are a superman, it is impossible to rush out just after you start working, right?
Qi Mu shook his head vigorously: "Mr. Yang, I made these things in the last few days before the holiday, just to quickly connect the company's various businesses after the holiday. You can see the corresponding date of the content."
Before the Spring Festival, Yang Ruoqian ran away in advance, leaving the company in a state of leaderlessness in advance, which gave Qi Mu a lot of room to play.
All kinds of documents were sorted out in advance, and when they came back from the holiday, the entire group would hardly have "holiday syndrome", and they could perfectly connect with all the work before the holiday.
Yang Ruoqian glanced at the file and found that it was true.
Alas, what a pity.
It was a pity that I didn't see the company in a mess.
"Okay... Tell me, is there any important news to report?" Yang Ruoqian stopped looking at the documents and tapped the table with his fingers, "You must have been holding it in for a long time, right?"
Under Yang Ruoqian's strong suppression, the company would occasionally pop up one or two pieces of news that would make people's eyes black.
During the period when the Demon Suppression Tower was lost, it was not surprising that any monsters and ghosts appeared in the company.
Anyway, as long as it was not a bolt from the blue, President Yang was ready to face it.
Qi Mu followed suit: "President Yang, we allocated relevant resources to the first to ninth place of "All-round Trainee", and the effect was very good, especially Kong Feifei and Kang Yuanqing, whose popularity rose faster than the operator expected."
Kang Yuanqing, is the trainee who performed very well in various traditional fields in variety shows, but failed in the field of whole life?
The resources for the second place include the starring position of a TV series with lower risks and more publicity.
Coincidentally, the position assigned to him was the male lead of "The Beginning", which was the position to play against "Luo Ruying".
Of course, before that, there are still many warm-up arrangements to maintain the popularity and traffic brought by the variety show as much as possible.
The filming of a TV series requires a long period of time. It is impossible that the TV series is completed and the audience forgets that there is such a character.
"Very good, what about Kong Feifei and her teammates?" President Yang has long been immune to this level of good news, and can even continue to ask questions with a calm mind.
Qi Mu explained: "The various resource rewards are customized according to the individual performance, ranking and style of the trainees. Kong Feifei's style... you know, so there will be another tailor-made application plan for her. The traffic and money investment are corresponding to the first level, don't worry."
Yang Ruoqian nodded: "Yes, speaking of Luo Ruyin, is there anything else? How is the filming of the TV series going?"
Since Qi Mu chose this matter to report, the next matter is naturally related.
She put down the first file, took out the second file, and said: "Mr. Yang, the first episode of the TV series has actually been filmed, but it was very close to the holiday at that time, and you have explained it, so the original film has not been sent to you for the time being. If you need it, I have saved it on your exclusive cloud disk, and you can watch it at any time."
The secretary assistant has the authority to save important files and information in the president's cloud disk, but the viewing authority is still only owned by Yang Ruoqian.
The first "filming" of the group's human body has ended?
Yang Ruoqian immediately became interested. While logging into his exclusive cloud disk account from the computer, he asked: "What about the director and other leading actors? Have you seen this document? What do you think?"
Qi Mu naturally would not miss such critical information. She replied: "The leading actor has already signed a contract with the company, no problem; the director has something to say, but it's not a big problem."
Of course there is something to say. A leading actor did not appear on the set throughout the whole process and asked all insiders to keep it confidential.
Who would be unhappy, right?
Very good, conflicts on the set are the beginning of the birth of bad movies.
Yang Ruoqian asked: "It doesn't matter if he has anything to say. This matter is not handled properly by us. If he has any other needs, the group will try its best to meet him."
Qi Mu was stunned for a moment and explained: "Mr. Yang... It's not this kind of thing. The director watched the first episode of the original film we processed and was very, very satisfied with Luo Ruying's "acting skills" and even hoped to meet her."
"He admires the miracles created by the group and respects any decision made by our group. There is no internal conflict in the crew. You can rest assured about this."
The expectant expression on Yang Ruoqian's face immediately turned into calmness, and he said: "Okay, is there anything else?"
Qi Mu nodded: "What you value most is that the first draft of the company's virtual image has been completed, and the next step is the publicity and promotion."
The most important?
What do you mean by the most important?
What he values most is Luo Ruying. What is there to value about a virtual anime image of the company?
Yang Ruoqian's mind was a little confused at this moment, but he quickly put this small detail behind him: "It's done... What is the plan for the operation side?"
Qi Mu answered quickly: "We plan to conduct pilot projects both online and offline. For online, Leopard App is the most suitable; for offline, we initially plan to find a few restaurants and a certain amusement project in Kuiguang Theme Park for trial operation."
"If everything goes well, the subsequent operation and traffic withdrawal plan can be formulated together."
The so-called subsequent plan is to issue and sell limited edition souvenirs, and at the same time start joint activities with the game production company to create strong anti-counterfeiting and scarcity.
Mobilize all the industries of the entire group to complete the initial internal circulation.
This plan was proposed by General Manager Yang, and General Manager Yang naturally knew the mystery, so Qi Mu just said a few simple words.
As long as the market response is good, all departments will start to act immediately.
At present, the design department has handed over the manuscript and mold to the production party, and Yan Jinyu, who is responsible for external projects, has also contacted the game production company, and all physical products and game CDKs are ready.
Yang Ruoqian was a little confused, but he nodded first: "Then let's do it this way."
He vaguely felt that this matter seemed to be a little out of his control.
Isn't it just spending money to find a professional team to design an anime image for the company? Why do you have to cash in and operate it after a vacation?
This is equivalent to Yang Ruoqian finding someone to design a new company logo, and two days later someone excitedly told him that this logo will be launched and start making money soon.
It's really hard to understand.
However... since you have found a factory to make molds and order various products, it should be a considerable expense.
Thinking of this, Yang Ruoqian's hanging heart was put down again.
It doesn't matter. It's not an important project anyway. Even if you hang a logo on the top of the building every day and display it back and forth 24 hours a day, it doesn't make much sense.
Qi Mu nodded, and then said with some concern: "But Mr. Yang, the cost of 'Luo Ru' is very, very shocking. Are you sure you still want to continue with the current standard?"
To be honest, as a person, Qi Mu likes the image of "Luo Ru".
After all, it is an image designed by top designers, and each character is aimed at the most perfect direction. As long as it is still the aesthetic of the general public, it is difficult not to like this image.
But personal preferences and the interests of the company sometimes conflict.
After the Luo Ruying project was launched, it was especially important to perfectly "p" her image into a TV series. It was easy to imagine how much work it would take and how scary the cost would be.
For a TV series of about 30 minutes, you need to do the "p-picture" work frame by frame!
In those days, the money in the company's account was like water from the floodgates, and it couldn't be stopped.
As a project attached to the IP image of an animation, such expenses really made Qi Mu a little scared.
If this trend continues, how much will a 15-episode TV series cost?
The investment in the entire TV series is probably not even half of Luo Ruying's!
Can it really make money...
Yang Ruoqian was thinking about how to give the manufacturer more money. When he heard Qi Mu complain about Luo Ruying's excessive spending, he was a little happy.
There are expenses on the animation side, and Luo Ruying is burning money desperately... Both virtual image projects are shining in their respective fields.
Two-pronged approach, double happiness!
Yang Ruoqian immediately waved his hand: "The more money you spend in the early stage, the more money you will make in the later stage. The more you spend, the more money you will make. You don't have to be stuck in the quagmire of short-term profits."
"I personally decided on this project. Even if it fails, no one needs to take responsibility. Just do it according to my standards and requirements."
When saying this, Mr. Yang sneered in his heart: Make money in the later stage?
Not in the later stage, it won't take long for him to directly expose the nature of Luo Ruying and directly cut off all ways to make money!
Let the project be terminated at the stage of burning money, and don't think about making a dime.
Qi Mu agreed with deep approval: "Okay, Mr. Yang, we will definitely not let you down."
In fact, the more investment, the more profit. The group doesn't care so much about short-term profits. Qi Mu, as the president's secretary, can't be unaware of this.
But even if the boss has said it, as a secretary, she must reiterate it again.
After reporting all the other scattered work, Qi Mu took her things and prepared to leave the office.
Yang Ruoqian also watched Qi Mu's back as he left, ready to open the game at any time.
He was very relaxed throughout the Spring Festival, but he didn't play many games.
Compared to playing games at work, playing games during holidays made him feel like he had made a big loss.
Just as Qi Mu walked to the door of the office and was about to open it, she suddenly glanced at her phone.
Her footsteps paused.
She looked for a few seconds, then suddenly turned around and sat back at the president's desk, looking a little serious: "Boss Yang... Yan Jinyu just sent a message over, I think you need to deal with it."
Boss Yang, who turned off the game silently and waited for the secretary to give him a critical hit, was stunned.
For this kind of sudden good news, Boss Yang would no longer be as angry as before.
But... looking at the secretary's appearance, the upcoming news doesn't seem to be good news!
It's bad news for the company, but it's good news for Boss Yang!
It's so rare that the news that came suddenly was not about the company making money.
Could it be that after the Spring Festival, my luck has turned?
"Don't worry, take your time." Yang Ruoqian was very anxious, but he still restrained the corners of his mouth that were wildly raised, showing the calmness and steadiness that a big boss of a large group should have.
Qi Mu's face was still very solemn. She forwarded Yan Jinyu's message to Yang Ruoqian and said, "Boss Yang, these are the photos taken by Mag overseas market in other places, and the summary made. Please take a look."
Oh, Mag kid?
It turned out to be about the overseas market?
Yang Ruoqian looked through the chat records.
There are several groups of photos on it, and the content is also very simple - related to the peripherals of "Black Robe Inspection Team".
In the photos, many related pirated peripheral products are sold undisguisedly.
And the sales are very, very good.
Qi Mu kept time in her mind, and calculated that Mr. Yang had almost finished looking at all the pictures, and then she said: "Mr. Yang, in the overseas market, there have been pirated acts of using our IP to make money. What do you think we should do?"
As she said this, she glanced at her boss's somewhat gloomy face, and quickly speculated in her mind what countermeasures she should take to protect her rights or reduce losses.
Mr. Yang looked at the photos, and the joy in his heart just now was swept away.
The reason was not that Qi Mu was indignant about the copyright and interests of the group as he thought, but that he was in a dilemma.
Should we protect this right or not?
Generally speaking, as long as the scale is not large, it is difficult to protect rights overseas.
It's not that copyright issues are not protected locally, but the cost of protecting rights is very high-it is very likely that the compensation received in the end is not enough for the round-trip air tickets of the legal team.
Considering this point alone, Yang Ruoqian is very motivated to mobilize the crazy legal team and let them do a big job.
But the problem is, there is a system.
What if the rights protection is successful again with the help of the system?
If you watch helplessly and do nothing to defend your rights, Mag will definitely take relevant actions; if you send a legal team to defend your rights, the system will probably issue some rewards that will make people explode.
Although this news is bad news, it doesn't seem to be so bad... It's hard for people to make a decision in a short time.
Qi Mu looked at the boss's changing expression and asked carefully: "Boss Yang, what are you going to do?"
What to do... Just give up and let Mag handle it himself?
No, it's not easy to get bad news, how can I let this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity slip through my fingers?
I must think of a solution that has the best of both worlds. (End of this chapter)
