"Singers' programs are actually really special. Speaking of which, the entertainment program itself increases the popularity of both the star and the program producer.
However, most entertainment programs purely rely on celebrities to attract traffic, and the program production itself is at a disadvantage.
Of course, after attracting celebrities, the program production itself still needs to be excellent in order for the program to become popular.
However, for some small and medium-sized production companies, the attraction of celebrities is actually enough to support a program, which has led to a bad atmosphere in this area in China. Everyone focuses their energy and investment on celebrities, while the program itself is not
Not enough attention and care.
This has also led to higher and higher prices for celebrities..."
Cheng Yu chuckled and said: "Isn't the country under control? In the future, the proportion of celebrities in entertainment programs will be correspondingly lower..."
Tang Dandan sighed and said, "Mr. Cheng, you still think too simply.
The state can only limit the salary levels of artists and stars, but it cannot limit their investment.
The salary limit order from above has just been issued, but there are already countermeasures from below.
Nowadays, when big-name celebrities negotiate cooperation with production companies or TV stations, they always pay according to the maximum salary stipulated by the state, and then ask for a share of the shares.
To put it bluntly, all the income they lost due to the salary limit order was converted into investment and put into program production. Although this can indeed allow the producer to reduce expenses during the program production process, the final profit will be low.
Even if the soup does not change, the money that celebrities should receive will still be considerable."
Cheng Yu was stunned for a moment, thinking to himself that there really were policies and countermeasures, but...
"If you do this, wouldn't it cause the producer's profits to plummet? I'm afraid you will be even more unwilling to produce properly."
"Who says it's not the case... Our boss has already said that if this continues, we're afraid we won't have anything to eat. He almost wants to change careers."
"That's not the case. From what you said, your company's scale and strength should not be too strong, and you rarely invite popular celebrities to do programs. The impact on your company should be relatively small. On the contrary,
Those large companies have suffered heavy losses."
Tang Dandan shook his head, looked back at Cheng Yu, and said: "Those large companies are definitely not willing to suffer such a huge loss of profits. They might have produced three programs a year, but because the profits of each program were reduced to
It used to be less than half, and they have already set their sights on second- and third-tier stars that they didn't like much in the past.
When I went to Shanghai this time, I heard someone from a production company say that they plan to produce more than ten programs this year and use quantity to solve the dilemma of declining profits.
Once these companies do this, it will be even more difficult for small companies like us..."
Well……
Cheng Yu found that he really didn't understand the market rules of this industry at all.
After thinking about it, it seemed that there was no feasible direction, so he said nothing.
The car slowly stopped at the toll station. Pang Hua touched his body and whispered: "Oh, my bag is in my car... Dandan, do you have any cash on you?"
Tang Dandan shook his head and said, "No, I brought a few thousand dollars in cash to Magic City this time, but I used them all. I thought most consumer phones can be used anyway, so I didn't withdraw cash."
As the couple spoke, they couldn't help turning their heads to look at Cheng Yu. Although it seemed inappropriate to ask Cheng Yu to pay, there were only three people in the car now, and both of them were covered in metal, so they could only look at Cheng Yu.
.
Cheng Yu didn't pay much attention and took out his wallet.
But subconsciously, the stingy skills he developed during this period of time came to him from the bottom of his heart like an instinct.
"Qin Manyuan, Qin Manyuan, you are so unreasonable. I am here to give you money. You really want big money but also small money. I have to pay for a toll for you..."
Cheng Yu was actually muttering purely instinctively, but hearing these words in Pang Hua's ears was really embarrassing.
Although the money was not much, what Cheng Yu said was reasonable. He came all the way to give Qin Manyuan an investment. He originally bought the air tickets and the like himself, but he had to pay for the tolls himself. It was really unreasonable.
.
"Mr. Cheng, I'm so sorry. It's mainly because I put my bag in my car. I really didn't expect you to ask me to drive for you..."
As he spoke, Pang Hua opened the car door. He really couldn't afford to embarrass this person. More importantly, he was afraid of offending Cheng Yu again because of this incident. After all, his wife had already offended Cheng Yu before. Thanks to
It took a lot of Master Cheng Yu to stop seeing her.
"Mr. Cheng, please wait a moment. I'll go to the car behind and ask for some money..."
"Hey, it's actually not necessary..."
Although Cheng Yu said this, he actually put his wallet back into his pocket. Tang Dandan was stunned.
I don’t know if Tang Dandan is really lacking in some aspects, but she actually said it out loud.
"Are all rich people really so stingy? It's just a ten yuan toll, who pays it or not?"
As soon as the words came out of her mouth, Tang Dandan also realized that she had said the wrong thing. It was not easy for Cheng Yu not to argue with her about what happened on the plane. As a result, she was now talkative again.
"Uh... Mr. Cheng, I didn't mean that." Tang Dandan apologized quickly, his face full of embarrassment.
Cheng Yu was used to it, so he laughed and said: "Rich people can't be stingy? This is one of Qin Manyuan's costs. Although it is only a small matter of ten yuan, there is no reason for me to help her pay this money.
When I see her later, I have to ask her to reimburse me for the plane ticket to Baoan."
Tang Dandan was completely speechless. She really couldn't understand Cheng Yu's stinginess, but at least she knew that she shouldn't talk too much at this moment.
Pang Hua ran back quickly, holding a bag in his hand. He found ten dollars from the bag while running, and handed the money to the toll collector while standing under the car.
The toll collector was also a little dissatisfied. After all, a car was parked at the entrance of the toll station. Even if it didn't last long, it blocked several cars. If the leader saw this, he would definitely think that she was negligent in her job.
"It's only ten yuan. Do you still have to get out of the car and pick it up? Can't you pay it first and then transfer it via WeChat?"
Pang Hua was stunned when he said this, and he thought that he was right, he should let Cheng Yu pay first, and then transfer it to him via WeChat.
What the toll collector said was reasonable, but Pang Hua was very worried, fearing that Cheng Yu would lose face, so he just wanted to explain to Cheng Yu.
Cheng Yu had already spoken.
"That's actually what I meant just now, but this friend is too impatient and runs faster than anyone else. Although the money is small, the rights and responsibilities must be clearly defined. It's like if we don't bring any money, we can't ask you to help us pay for this.
Ten bucks, right?"
The toll collector curled his lips and was too lazy to be pretentious with Cheng Yu. He also despised the actions of Cheng Yu, a "rich man".
Pang Hua got into the car and did not accept the receipt handed over by the toll clerk. He saw the gear lever in front of him raised and stepped on the accelerator to rush over.
"Tickets!" the toll collector shouted.
Cheng Yu smiled and patted Pang Hua on the shoulder and said: "You still have to get the ticket. It's been delayed for two minutes anyway, so I don't care about the three or two seconds. Although you definitely don't care about the ten or eight yuan, but I
Again, if you should ask the company for reimbursement of these ten yuan, you still have to ask the company for reimbursement."
Pang Hua quickly stepped on the accelerator, took the bill, smiled at the toll collector with a sullen expression, and then stepped on the accelerator and drove away from the toll station.
Because of this little episode, the three people in the car obviously fell into a relatively subtle emotion. Although Pang Hua and Tang Dandan both understood the reason why Cheng Yu did not pay the ten yuan, this did not prevent them from feeling that
How could a rich man like Cheng Yu care about even ten dollars?
Cheng Yu didn't bother to talk to them anymore, he was thinking about another thing.
This matter also suddenly occurred to Cheng Yu when we were chatting just now.
Celebrities have their own traffic and many fans.
Now that there is an "additional income that cannot be measured with specific value", Cheng Yu feels that this should not only require him to start from the people around him.
After all, after his points exceeded 10,000 points, the previous method of gaining points was too slow.
In particular, the system will limit the number of points that can be obtained at a time to no more than 100 points. Even if everyone can provide Cheng Yu with full points, it will still take 100 people to earn 10,000 points.
If you want to break through 100,000 points and reach the advanced stage, you will need at least a thousand people.
What's more, judging from the current situation, it is almost impossible for Cheng Yu to obtain more than 20 points from more people. Most of the points earned are only about ten points.
Just like the person No. 20 just now, they only brought Cheng Yu a total of just over 300 points.
Calculated based on this magnitude, if you want to reach 100,000 points to upgrade the Shenhu system to an advanced stage, you will probably need at least 7,000 to 8,000 people to achieve it.
There is no doubt that this is too slow.
But the celebrity thing reminded Cheng Yu.
Celebrities have a large number of fans behind them, and these fans include die-hard fans, casual fans, and negative fans.
This means that whether Cheng Yu is recognized by celebrities or offends celebrities enough, he can actually win the support of thousands of fans.
If this support can also be calculated into "additional income whose specific value cannot be measured", it does not seem to be too difficult to obtain even if it is 70,000 or 80,000 people, let alone 7,000 or 8,000 people.
If this works, it will only take a short time for Cheng Yu to score more than 100,000 points, or even hundreds of thousands of points.
Cheng Yu quickly calculated in his mind. Based on the 30% discount he currently exchanged for the length of life, sixty years of life would be about 22,000 days. Fourteen points per day would be almost 300,000 points.
This means that as long as Cheng Yu obtains another 300,000 points, he will actually be able to reach the life span he needs.
He is twenty-two years old now and will be eighty-two in sixty years. His life should be considered complete.
But if you get 300,000 points at the current speed, it would be simply unimaginable.
Of course, the speed at which Cheng Yu earns points must be faster than the passage of life. This can actually ensure that he lives safely and unharmed until he is over eighty years old, an age that seems to end his life in the eyes of others.
But Cheng Yu didn't want this.
If given the choice, Cheng Yu would rather use a short time to reach enough points, which would not only save his life, but also get rid of the divine system.
After all, as long as the God System still exists in Cheng Yu's body, he has no way to feel truly safe. Any task may actually kill Cheng Yu directly.
But now, it seems that there is such an opportunity in front of him.
Taking advantage of the celebrity's traffic, no matter what Cheng Yu does to the celebrity, he can actually gain the favor of thousands of fans.
And if this kind of catering can bring points to Cheng Yu, even if each person only has a few points each time, 300,000 points will not be difficult.
After all, chasing stars is not just a matter for young people. Many popular celebrities even have a large number of moms and dads who are fans of them.
Although it may sound a bit out of reach for fans of celebrities to be turned into objects for Cheng Yu to gain points, but Cheng Yu feels that it is definitely worth trying.
What if it succeeds?
It is simply a continuous points-making machine.
Of course, it may turn out to be useless, but it doesn’t hurt to give it a try.
When the car was about to arrive at the hotel, Cheng Yu had already made a decision. He looked eagerly at Tang Dandan in the front seat. This woman who he had somewhat hated on the plane was now so attractive in Cheng Yu's eyes.
cute.
If it weren't for her, how could Cheng Yu have thought of such a perfect way to earn points?
Just as he was about to speak, Cheng Yu's cell phone rang.
I took out my cell phone and saw that it was Tan Wulian calling.
Cheng Yu frowned slightly and answered the phone.
"Xiao Tan, what's the matter?"
Tan Wulian's voice sounded a bit depressed, and he said: "Mr. Cheng, I'm sorry, my plan this time may be hopeless."
"You mean that college student who started a business chose another investment company?"
"Not really, it's just that that guy is very difficult to deal with. Including us, a total of three companies have taken a fancy to his project, and he is not in a hurry to choose one of them now. He has maintained contact with all three parties, and now I
The hotel where we stayed, people from the other two companies also stayed here.”
Cheng Yu didn't pay too much attention and said: "His project is not the only one in the world. If it doesn't work this time, then look for new opportunities.
Of course, I know why you are so hesitant. It's because I don't have much time for you. If this investment fails to be negotiated, your original business plan as a college student will fail.
So, if you focus on success, it will blind you.
Xiao Tan, your career path is not limited to projects like the College Student Entrepreneurship Plan. Your future path is still long, and there are many projects that require you to operate.
If you care so much about the success or failure of a project, then I will be extremely disappointed in you.
And I dare to say that your future career path will not be too smooth."
On the other end of the phone, Tan Wulian remained silent. Cheng Yu could almost imagine his expression. He must be full of unwillingness and depression, but he also understood that what Cheng Yu said was the simplest truth.
Cheng Yu sighed and said, "Xiao Tan, what industry are we in?
Invest!
Maybe it’s really because the company’s business has been developing too smoothly since I started the company.
Up to now, our company seems to have no projects that are losing money.
This is obviously something to be happy about for everyone involved in the investment industry.
But at the same time, this is the biggest misfortune for practitioners like you who have never experienced setbacks and failures."
Tan Wulian was stunned and asked subconsciously: "Why? Why is it unfortunate?"
“Because then you don’t know that in the investment industry, the probability of failure is actually much higher than the probability of success.
In our industry, we often fail even if we fail even once, especially our company's business, whose main direction is venture capital, not securities investment.
I have overlooked this point, and despite the company's successive victories, I have not done enough psychological preparation for you.
Venture capital has always required dozens of failed projects in exchange for a successful project, and successful projects often return hundreds or even thousands of times.
Even in securities investment, futures investment, and money-losing and profitable transactions, the money-making projects are often only slightly higher than the money-losing projects.
The investment industry is not what you imagine. It is impossible to get huge returns on every investment."
These words were like an enlightenment, making Tan Wulian understand everything at once.
In fact, Tan Wulian is a person who studied economics, so it is impossible for him not to understand what the investment industry is like.
Yes, what Cheng Yu said is the norm for an investment company or investment bank, especially for a company like them that focuses on venture capital. Just comparing the number of times, the number of failures is more
Far greater than the number of successes.
But as Cheng Yu said, since the establishment of their company, it has been so smooth that almost every project is making money.
I don't know where the good luck comes from. Not only are venture capital projects successful, but the returns from each project are extremely generous. Even Guan Lu, the second shareholder who is mainly responsible for trading, seems to have been infected with Cheng Yu's good luck.
, there are almost no cases of losing money in stock and futures investments.
This caused the entire company, especially a rookie like Tan Wulian who had never had professional experience, to misunderstand. It was as if under the leadership of Cheng Yu, any investment project must be profitable, and even as long as the project is approved, the project must be successful.
, it must ultimately bring profits.
But this is actually wrong!
"Master Cheng, I'm sorry, I understand."
Cheng Yu smiled and said: "Okay, adjust it and don't be so frustrated. To be honest, I wasn't too optimistic about the project you came up with from the beginning, but I need you to have the experience of failure, so even if
Others are objecting, but I still support you in doing it."
"Ah? Mr. Cheng, you have never been optimistic about it?" Tan Wulian didn't understand, "Then why..."
"I said, you need to be frustrated. When you entered my company, that is, since you entered the workplace, it has been too smooth. An investor who has never failed is not a qualified investor." When he said this,
Cheng Yu secretly sweated, but he quickly comforted himself, I am an exception, I am an exception, after all, I am a systematic man.
"But don't think too much. I'm not generous enough to let you spend several months just to give you a blow. First of all, your idea is not without possibility of success, but it seems to be a bit excessive. Or
Say, from the perspective of time and energy, your project is not a project with a high return rate."
"Then what if my project is negotiated this time?"
“If the negotiation is completed, it’s just a project. To be honest, it’s a fluke.
You can't expect to encounter similar projects every two or three months.
Moreover, even if this project is negotiated, the variables are too great.
Your investment target has only received investment intentions from three institutions, and it has already begun to drift. Can you expect such a person to really manage his company well?
He has just been given a platform to perform. Whether he can truly succeed in the future remains to be tested."
