Chapter 238: An Entertainment Company Established by Quiet Mimi
“This time I don’t have to go on stage to do a show, so I feel a lot more relaxed.”
Lin Qingyuan was playing with a small green "kite" printed with monogram patterns in his hand.
This is the invitation letter sent by Louis Vuitton to his global spokesperson for the LV2020 spring and summer men's wear show.
"One finale is enough. It doesn't mean much to have the finale at a show. This is not a red carpet for domestic entertainment."
Yan Jun felt that Lin Qingyuan was an actor and not a model after all.
Keeping him at the finale of the show will only arouse resentment in the fashion and modeling circles.
"Co-starring on the domestic entertainment red carpet should be a crazy finale!" Lin Qingyuan has basically not done much in the past two years.
On the one hand, it's because the previous players were not qualified, and on the other hand, it's because the team didn't force the finale.
After all, as for the finale, as long as you have enough artist spots, you can get it by making trouble with the organizer.
Anyway, that's what Chunchun told Lin Qingyuan...
"It's best if you can be the finale. It's best if you can't overwhelm us and don't force it." The assistant also came out to express his opinion at this time.
Lin Qingyuan nodded to Xia Xin and did not ignore her existence just because she was just a life assistant who did not touch the artist's work.
"In the past, when your status was not stable, you really needed this kind of thing to prove your status in the industry, but now you don't need it anymore. Now even if you wear mink with shorts and flip-flops on the red carpet, they will think it is
New trends have even begun to be imitated.”
"The words are rough but the reasoning is rough." Lin Qingyuan gave Yan Jun a thumbs up: "Brother Jun, you know fashion."
"I'm already imagining how you look like in this outfit, boss..." Xia Xin covered her mouth and laughed.
Several of them are still on the plane flying from Bangkok to Shanghai.
It will probably be around 2 pm Beijing time when we land back home.
"Isn't that what fashion is like?" Yan Jun has followed Lin Qingyuan in the past two years to understand fashion. "The more this subjective thing deviates from the public's aesthetics, the more it will gain the favor of the mainstream in the industry. They will
Say it’s personality and fashion imagination.”
"Of course, the premise is that the person doing this has a high status in the fashion circle and is very influential." Lin Qingyuan added with a smile: "Otherwise, others will just treat you like a mink."
Of course Yan Jun knew that Lin Qingyuan was such an influential high-profile artist in the fashion circle.
So if Lin Qingyuan really dares to dress like this, maybe fashion bloggers will start analyzing his unique dressing style.
No exaggeration at all.
After all, over-interpretation is very common, and Lin Qingyuan has often been analyzed by people on the Internet in various ways before.
Even if he didn't mean it at all, netizens could still forcefully describe the look he cast at Nettle as hateful...
"Paris has a total of two days of travel, and then I have to return to China immediately to attend Huawei's new product launch conference on the 21st. In the past two days, several first-tier cities in China have begun to remove the brand's original spokespersons on a large scale, and instead laid out your latest channels overseas.
We still have to wait a little longer.”
"Zhang Ruoyun's wedding is on the 27th. I have also asked for leave for you, but you can't stay for long. Next month is the graduation ceremony of Nortel on the 4th. You are lucky that your graduation was not postponed. You should thank your mother and Peking University.
electricity..."
"Then the 9th is the premiere day of Intimate, and the middle of the week is the release time of Galaxy Tutorial. The crew plans to hold many premieres, but you only need to attend the premiere in Beijing."
"In addition, Lancôme, L'Oréal and Nestlé, three brands that have been officially announced in advance, also need you as a spokesperson to take time to shoot advertising blockbusters and promotional photos, but your schedule is very full recently, so we are coordinating to see if we can
Do you want to postpone it to next month?”
It was another period of time that was full of schedule. After Lin Qingyuan got angry, he was even more tired than before.
And they are all jobs that cannot be pushed away, such as regular filming, advertising shoots or press conferences for brand endorsements, as well as some fashion-related shows and magazine announcements...
But it's normal, after all, only famous celebrities have jobs.
It's really pitiful for those Hu celebrities to beg the director's program team to come on the show to show off their faces even if they don't need any money...
The flight landed smoothly as scheduled.
Lin Qingyuan and his party went directly to a hotel near the Shanghai Expo Center to attend the 4th Weibo Movie Night.
This time he attended the awards show with the crew of "You Are Young".
But if we really count, "Galaxy Tutorial" and "The Climber" can also be counted as his works.
Yes, these two crews are here too today.
To be precise, almost all the crews of the movies that will be released in the second half of this year are here.
After all, Weibo still has a great influence in the traffic era, so if you want your movie to get a strong publicity channel during the release stage, it is best not to offend Weibo easily.
This is also the main reason why the starlight of Weibo Night is always stronger than that of Goosechang Starlight Awards and Taochang Screaming Night.
At least for Lin Qingyuan personally: I will go to the Starlight Awards and Scream Night if I can, and I will definitely go to the Weibo Night.
............
As soon as he entered the hotel room, Yan Jun directed his team members to get busy.
Those responsible for makeup, those responsible for matching the styling, and those responsible for connecting with the organizers. Everyone performed their duties and prepared for Lin Qingyuan's smooth appearance on the red carpet this afternoon.
"Hey, Dad, what's wrong?" Xia Xin helped to connect the phone and put it to Lin Qingyuan's ear.
Lin Qingyuan was sitting in front of the dressing table, being put on makeup by the stylist, and was unable to answer the phone.
"I started a new company."
In this book, Lin’s father, who had lost contact for a long time, finally called his son.
"Oh, what happened to the new company?" Lin Qingyuan had nothing to be surprised about. After all, it doesn't take much money to open a company these days.
"I run an entertainment company." Lin Tianrui said.
"What?!" Lin Qingyuan suddenly perked up and asked with wide eyes: "Dad, why do you start a company in the entertainment industry when you get involved in the Internet? Could it be that China Entertainment has seen too much? I really feel that domestic entertainment wants to
You can just start a company! Now it is monopolized by a few giants! There is really no need to come in and give people money to cut leeks..."
"Any field will be monopolized by giants in the industry at a later stage of development, but no one stipulates that those who enter the market late will not be able to eat meat." Lin Tianrui certainly understands Lin Qingyuan's concerns, but he also has his own plans.
"Then do you know how likely it is that a domestic entertainment company will lose money?" Lin Qingyuan was speechless.
It is precisely because he has reached his current position in the entertainment industry that he has a deep understanding of how difficult it is to make money by starting a company in the domestic entertainment industry and how low the probability is.
Many company bosses use various connections to build relationships for planning, but in the end they don't make as much as ordinary second- and third-tier artists. This is really shocking...
So let’s not even mention the group of top traffic users whose annual after-tax income easily exceeds 100 million.
The annual income of this group of people is higher than the annual net profit of 99% of the entertainment companies in the industry, and the costs and risks they bear are also lower. This also leads to every company wanting to have a top-notch person in the company.
Serve as a facade, or a glittering cash cow.
To give a simple example: Brother Bozi made one billion for Yuehua in three years, including 300 million in the second year, and even 600 million directly for Yuehua in the third year!
And this is only the part allocated to Yuehua according to the share ratio, the real income can be imagined.
Therefore, if an internal entertainment company does not have two skills, it will have to engage in artist economics to make big money...
"Of course I know. I have my own information channels, and your mother also knows a lot of people."
"Then you should know that this is a high-risk, low-return investment. Under such circumstances, do you still want to play games?" Lin Qingyuan was still not very optimistic about Lin Tianrui's operation of opening a domestic entertainment company, "Times have changed.
, this is not the time when you first entered the scene to engage in it."
"It's okay, I didn't invest much anyway, so if you lose, you'll lose." Lin Tianrui was very open-minded.
Frankly speaking, the reason why he decided to enter domestic entertainment was not mainly to make money, but to have more contact with his son.
This can help him to a greater or lesser extent, instead of like before, where his son is fighting in the entertainment industry and tearing up the sky, while his father is playing alone in the IT field. The two circles are completely incompatible, even if he wants to intervene.
My own son is not qualified to intervene.
As for Lin’s mother Huang Wenyuan’s connections...
A Nortel professor does know a lot of people, but that's all.
Things should not always be as simple as you think.
After all, not all of Nortel's many professors can succeed.
Besides, Lin Qingyuan is on the traffic track of the new era. He has basically no contact with Nortel and the older generation who play TV series, movies and dramas, or in other words, the geographical circle, so Huang Wenyuan has been able to provide
Lin Qingyuan's help was actually minimal.
"A loss is a loss..." Lin Qingyuan noticed that Xia Xin's hand holding the phone was trembling slightly, obviously frightened by Lin Tianrui's words.
But in fact, Lin Tianrui is not a rich man with tens of billions in cash.
After all, there is still a big gap between the three concepts of market value of tens of billions, net worth of tens of billions, and cash of tens of billions.
"Then how much do you plan to invest in the initial stage?" Lin Qingyuan asked.
"Let's test the waters with 200 million first."
"To be honest, the 200 million invested in domestic entertainment will not make any waves. If you are short of money later, come to me. I still have a few hundred million in cash."
Lin Qingyuan conservatively estimates that his endorsement fees this year will exceed 500 million, and this is just pure endorsement income.
"It's okay, I plan to engage in the idol economy. China's idol economy has been developed in the past two years. There is a lot of hot money entering the market. And judging from the development trend, it is obviously still a certain distance from the heyday. There is still a lot of opportunity to enter the market at this time.
There is a great opportunity to gain something." Lin Tianrui has obviously done his homework thoroughly.
Lin Qingyuan thought about it and it was indeed true. The threshold for becoming an idol in domestic entertainment is indeed much lower than that in film and television.
Because if you want to engage in film and television production in the entertainment industry now, let alone other things, you must at least have a cash flow of several billion before you can have fun.
After all, Lin Qingyuan now earns RMB 60 million in after-tax salary for each drama, and the production cost of a drama is hundreds of millions. How can the company do it without a few billion to cover it?
"Being an idol is indeed the lowest threshold for entering domestic entertainment at this stage. Relatively speaking..."
The three major platforms of Penguin, Kiwi and Youpants have been conducting drafts in the past two years, and a large amount of hot money has poured into the market, so Lin Qingyuan feels that it is still feasible.
Of course, he didn't know much about the specific company operations and planning, so he didn't bother to ask Lin Tianrui.
After all, investing is not that simple, and it is not something that Lin Qingyuan can invest just by talking about it. This chapter has been completed!
