"My uncle's visit to Beijing this time should be good for your company, right?" Ye Kai asked.
Uncle Ye Zijian came to Beijing as the chief of staff and became a powerful military figure in Beijing. He immediately attracted the attention of all parties. As the son of the chief of staff, Ye Jianhuan naturally became a key figure for everyone to fawn over. So of course Ye Jianhuan's company
It is also like the rising sun.
"The company's business is booming, but my father is very strict with me, which makes me not want to hang out in the capital anymore." Ye Jianhuan mentioned this matter and immediately complained to Ye Kai.
"Why?" Ye Kai asked.
"Why don't you let me keep a low profile?" Ye Jianhuan complained, "Actually, it would be better for him to be the commander of his Southeast Military Region. Now that he has entered the capital, it sounds like the chief of staff is quite impressive, able to supervise the seven military regions and command the whole country.
We are in the military, but we are so close to the Military Commission and have many political careers, so it is not easy to just hang around."
"That's not necessarily the case." Ye Kai smiled and shook his head. "Although there is a Military Commission above the Third Headquarters, most people really can't control him. Even the other deputy heads of the Military Commission may not be able to make it happen.
Touch him, and besides, there are two old men sitting on the Military Commission, so he should be very comfortable."
"I don't feel comfortable at all. I just feel that the capital is getting more and more uncomfortable. What do you think I should transfer my business to Mingzhu?" Ye Jianhuan suddenly thought.
"Don't..." Ye Kai waved his hand and said, "In that case, your dad will be relaxed, but my dad will have a headache."
Ye Ziping's nephew came to Mingzhu with great fanfare to develop the entertainment industry?
It doesn't mean much to say this, but if a big tree attracts wind, it may cause trouble, so Ye Kai is not willing to let Ye Jianhuan focus his business on Mingzhu.
"Actually, it's good for you to stay in the capital." Ye Kai said, "Now the way the publicity system works has begun to change. Have you noticed that the entertainment industry is now loosening up. As long as it is in line with the mainstream orientation, now
Now that everything has been loosened, this is a good opportunity for you to develop vigorously in the capital. There is no need to go to the Pearl, that would be to sacrifice one's roots for the bottom."
After three years of tension, the domestic entertainment industry has finally begun to normalize.
Some signs of this matter can be seen from the popularity of domestic original singers this year.
"But there are some things that I can't understand more and more. Now there are fewer and fewer young people who care about politics. On the contrary, there are more and more star-chasers. Sometimes I think they are stupid and let anyone know.
They have no thoughts of their own at all." Ye Jianhuan suddenly sighed, "I don't know why the propaganda system doesn't provide guidance from these aspects? What have become of these young people as time goes by?"
"You don't need to worry about this." Ye Kai smiled and said, "Half a century ago, someone said, don't let teenagers have judgment. Just give them cars, motorcycles, stars, exciting music, and fashionable clothes.
Just deprive young people of their thinking ability and root them in their obedience to obey the orders of their instructors. Let them have a hatred for criticizing the country, society and leaders. Let them firmly believe that it is the sin of minorities and heretics.
Let them think that anyone who thinks differently than everyone else is a public enemy.”
"Who said this? But it sounds a bit similar to the current situation. Are you really sure this was said by someone half a century ago?" Ye Jianhuan thought about it for a while and felt that this was true.
It's profound enough.
"Hitler said that." Ye Kai replied.
"Hey..." After hearing this, Ye Jianhuan bared his teeth and said to himself that the second brother is really knowledgeable and knowledgeable. It is really rare to be able to find out such unpopular things.
There are many things that a senior executive can see clearly, but rather than letting young people become the source of turmoil, it would be better to let them become mentally retarded. At least they don’t have to do anything other than chasing stars and seeking so-called self-worth.
Getting involved in politics can not only ensure your own safety, but will also not cause harm to society or the country. As for the adverse impact on some people, compared with the overall situation, it is negligible.
"In fact, the entertainment industry is a very good brainwashing tool. As long as you grasp the general direction and don't get into trouble with the top management, you will be invincible. As for how to develop, it is actually very simple. You can definitely introduce some successful products from abroad.
If you copy the entertainment model in China, you will definitely make money without losing money." Ye Kai said to Ye Jianhuan, "Generally speaking, if something that was popular in the United States ten years ago is copied back ten years later, it will definitely be successful."
"Are you trying to speculate on what Americans did ten years ago in China?" Ye Jianhuan heard this, but was a little skeptical, "Do you mean to say that even in the entertainment industry, we are lagging behind the Americans by at least ten years?"
"That's inevitable. Americans landed on the moon thirty years ago, but we haven't even gone out into space now. How big do you think the gap is?" Ye Kai asked rhetorically.
"That's the truth." Ye Jianhuan scratched his head, feeling that although what Ye Kai said was not pleasant to hear, it was the truth.
"It's common knowledge that the economic base determines the superstructure. The economic base of the United States is much stronger than that of China, so Americans' entertainment life will naturally be richer than that of China. This is something that cannot be denied," said Ye Kai.
, "So, from the perspective of the entertainment industry, there is also a long time difference between China and the United States, but this is a good thing for you, because as long as you copy back the things from ten years ago, you can guarantee
own success."
Ye Jianhuan nodded repeatedly after hearing this. After he thought about it carefully, he felt that what Ye Kai said was very reasonable. Looking back on many of his previous successful cases, he was following the same path as Americans. It was just because
Things are a little slower in China, so things brought back from the United States will not be considered outdated by everyone, but are actually very popular.
Although Ye Jianhuan only thought it was because of Ye Kai's feelings, he did not expect that Ye Kai had actually experienced such a period of crazy plagiarism from big American productions.
For example, in later generations, he has experienced a number of entertainment talent shows such as "Super Girl", "My Style My Show", "Come on Good Man", "Happy Boys" and other types of talent shows, all of which basically have the original model.
Just like that "Beautiful Imitation", if you look at the show, you will know that it is actually a copycat version of the famous "America's Next Top Model" in the United States.
America's Next Top Model brings dreams to many girls, and gives them the opportunity to win America's Next Top Model, get a contract with elite model management, sign a $100,000 endorsement contract with covergirl, and be featured in Seventeen magazine.
Cover, and special features on the inside pages of the issue.
"Beautiful Imitation" has moved this program to China exactly as it is, except that the protagonist has been replaced by himself. From the beginning of the audition, to the middle stage, to the final voting, it is almost scripted.
They copied "America's Next Top Model", and the level of copying is truly unflattering.
Ye Kai still remembers a TV program "Are You Smarter than a Fifth Grader?" This program was also very interesting. The contestants only had to answer 11 consecutive questions correctly from the textbooks of the fifth grade and lower grades, and they would get 100 points.
Thousands of dollars in prize money.
The highlight of the show is that the contestants discover that the questions are not as simple as they imagined.
On the show, real fifth-grade students can help them, but the show also uses this "help" to ridicule these self-righteous adults.
The most hilarious part of the show is when the loser in the end has to face the camera and admit, "I am indeed not as smart as a fifth grader!"
Ye Kai is 100% sure that if these things are imitated in China, they will definitely win a big victory. Although the Internet has not developed, which will have an impact on the popularity of mass participation, it can also be achieved through other methods of on-site selection.
Basically the same effect.
But then again, in this day and age, it is not easy to find an overseas program to research. You have to send people to the local area to record it. The recording process is also quite complicated and troublesome.
"We now have very few channels for obtaining overseas programs, and there are almost zero various program production companies and consulting companies that provide overseas programs. Without these institutions providing the latest information to TV stations, we would not understand many situations clearly." Ye.
Kai told Ye Jianhuan, "Television in the United States started in 1930, but domestic television media has not developed for a long time and cannot reach the level of complete innovation. Domestic programs are for kindergarten and lower elementary school. This elementary school student must first go through
Elementary school, middle school, and university can learn how to innovate through the process of imitation and reference. So for a long time, the country must have been competing to imitate other Americans' entertainment methods."
"Hearing what you said, I suddenly had an impulse. If I personally take people to the United States to study for a while, do you think I can have the opportunity to create a few decent columns?" Ye Jianhuan was very excited after hearing this.
Although he is now a super big name in the domestic entertainment industry and the leading backstage boss, Ye Jianhuan definitely does not want to stop here. His goal is more ambitious and he wants to be the leader of the domestic entertainment industry.
characters, so they cannot be satisfied with the status quo.
"This is an era of great collision of ideas. It is relatively easy to profit from chaos. The main thing is that you have to be bold enough, have tough enough methods, have a strong enough background, and have a thick enough skin. You will definitely be able to make it big.
Be stronger." Ye Kai said to Ye Jianhuan.
"Is this what you call thick black learning?" Ye Jianhuan asked.
"No, this is the spirit of entertainment." Ye Kai replied.
