It only took more than half a month, and now there is a VCD craze in the entire Shenzhen city.
Xingyao vcd has become a well-deserved local overlord.
At half the price than Wanyan, Xingyao vcd is naturally more popular among the people.
However, there are pros and cons.
As the saying goes, you get what you pay for. After all, Xingyao VCD is just a compatible machine made from a CD player equipped with a decoding board. Its smoothness and playback effect are still somewhat unsatisfactory.
Chu Tianyao counted the time and almost had to start developing a real VCD player.
Of course, this task naturally fell on Hu Zhibiao.
With the company sowing special funds, Hu Zhibiao began to recruit people to form a research and development department, and officially began to invest in the research and development of the official version of Xingyao VCD.
However, it is said to be research and development work. In fact, to put it bluntly, it is to disassemble the ready-made Wanyan VCD, carefully analyze the structure and design, and make certain optimizations based on Wanyan's design.
After all, VCD is just an assembled product. Even Wanyan Company itself has to admit that this thing has no technical content.
Even for mpeg decoding boards, the decoding technology currently used is relatively ordinary, and the picture can only achieve a resolution of 250 lines.
If Chu Tianyao remembers correctly, mpeg-2 decoding technology has now been mastered by Sony and Philips.
The mpeg-2 decoding technology is the advantage of DVD.
Not only is it decoding technology, DVD has an ultra-density optical disc system, and the disc capacity is several times that of VCD discs. In other words, a set of three-disc movies only needs one disc on a DVD disc, which is more than enough.
Not only in terms of capacity and resolution, DVDs can also provide two stereo channels and surround channels, which are much better than VCD players that only have one stereo output.
This is also the reason why when DVD came out, it quickly destroyed the VCD market.
Of course, it's not that Chu Tianyao doesn't want to make DVDs, but that the mpeg-2 decoding technology is still in the hands of foreigners, and even VCDs have just come out, and it will still take a few years before DVDs can shine.
Shekou Building.
In the office, Chu Tianyao sat behind his desk, tapping his fingers and lost in thought.
"Mr. Chu, Zhou Qiang and Guo Yun are here!"
The door of the office was pushed open, and Lu Qiuyu came in with a stack of documents, followed by two figures behind him.
"You must be Mr. Chu!"
A man in a suit and tie walked in. When he looked at Chu Tianyao, he was a little surprised at first, and then he laughed.
Walking into the office, Zhou Qiang handed over his business card.
At the same time, he was also sizing up the man in front of him.
I never expected that this entrepreneur, who has recently become famous in the Shenzhen business community, would be so young.
"Beijing Eighteen Brokers Culture Co., Ltd.?"
After taking a look at Zhou Qiang's business card, Chu Tianyao was also startled.
This name seems somewhat familiar.
But Chu Tianyao was also sure that he had never had any contact with people in the entertainment industry, especially those in the Beijing entertainment industry.
"Wait a minute, is the boss of your company named Wang?"
Chu Tianyao suddenly came back to his senses and asked Zhou Qiang in front of him.
"Why, does Mr. Chu know our Mr. Wang?"
Zhou Qiang was stunned, but he didn't expect that Chu Tianyao actually knew his boss.
But if you think about it carefully, in the past two years, several groups in your company have become famous one after another, and they are quite famous in the country. Chu Tianyao is not surprised to know.
"I don't think I know him, I just heard about him."
Chu Tianyao shook his head and said with a slight smile.
He finally remembered where he had heard this name. I bet Chu Tianyao had actually dealt with this company in his previous life.
Speaking of which, Wang Jinghua, the founder of this company, even cooperated with him once.
Chu Tianyao became an investor for a time and invested in a relatively good film and television project owned by Wang Jinghua, using a celebrity who worked for this domestic gold medal agent.
Of course, investing in film and television was just a boring move for Chu Tianyao, so it's no wonder he couldn't think of this company for a while.
When it comes to this Wang Jinghua, Chu Tianyao knows a little bit about her deeds.
As one of the earliest agents in China, especially female agents, Wang Jinghua went from riding a bicycle to the crew, and later became a well-known gold medal agent in China holding the stars such as Hong Baixue and Li Huizhen in her hands.
In the office, Chu Tianyao suddenly stopped talking, while Zhou Qiang smiled to himself:
"Mr. Chu probably doesn't know much about the entertainment industry. Our 18th Brokerage Company is quite powerful in China. The recently popular group Brothers was made famous by our Mr. Wang."
As soon as Zhou Qiang finished speaking, Lu Qiuyu on the side also said unexpectedly: "Chu Qi and Chu Tong are from your company?"
Obviously, Lu Qiuyu has also heard of this popular group.
Speaking of this brothers group, it was indeed popular in China for a while in the early 1990s.
At that time, the Little Tigers were all the rage, but they suddenly announced the news of a solo career, which caused a large number of fans to be disappointed. But at this time, Wang Jinghua had a sudden idea and planned to create a mainland Little Tigers team.
As a result, the brothers group composed of Chu Qi and Chu Tong became a great success once it was launched.
At this point, Wang Jinghua's agency has also gained a wave of fame in the industry.
"So...Mr. Zhou came to me not just to introduce to me the development history of your company!"
Behind the desk, Chu Tianyao glanced at Guo Yun, who was silent behind Zhou Qiang, and then smiled.
Chu Tianyao got straight to the point, so naturally Zhou Qiang didn't intend to hide it.
"Mr. Chu, I have read the contract between you and Miss Guo. If possible, I would like to buy out this year's contract from you."
After saying that, Zhou Qiang said in a serious tone: "As for the price, I'll pay double it!"
Chu Tianyao's contract remuneration to Guo Yun was 30,000 yuan. Double what Zhou Qiang said was naturally 60,000 yuan!
This price, if it is for Guo Yun, who has not yet released an album, is naturally quite expensive, but for Guo Yun, who is currently popular in the Shenzhen market with her title song "Red Bean", it is definitely more than this price.
"Mr. Chu, with all due respect, your company is not an entertainment company, and the cooperation with Ms. Guo is limited to endorsement advertising. I can guarantee that if your company has advertising needs in the future, Ms. Guo will try her best to meet them."
Seeing that Chu Tianyao didn't answer, Zhou Qiang spoke again.
Although it was just an endorsement contract, Chu Tianyao's contract contained several agency contracts, which Zhou Qiang could not accept.
What he wants to take away is a clean artist who can completely make money for the company.
"Miss Guo, is this what you mean?"
Ignoring Zhou Qiang's words, Chu Tianyao's eyes bypassed him, but fell directly on Guo Yun.
