"... Future People Group has always been committed to laying out the future. I think here Future People is not a noun, but a thought. We have a relaxed working environment and a work model that prioritizes efficiency. We value everyone's ideas. We No talent or creativity will be buried. If you are interested in becoming a future person, please join us!"
"cut!"
At the end of the interview, Jiang Chen breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Christopher Nolan who was directing the filming next to him, changed his serious expression, and said in a teasing tone.
"NG?"
"No, this time it's perfect!" Christopher gave Jiang Chen a thumbs up.
In the entire documentary, Jiang Chen only appeared on screen for 5 minutes. And just for these 5 minutes, he spent a full hour shooting repeatedly. Christopher is worthy of being a director who has won the Academy Award for Best Screenplay and the Golden Globe Award. Not only does he have an unbridled imagination, he is also very demanding about the excellence of the films he directs.
Even though Jiang Chen is the boss of the company, he never compromises on quality.
The documentary lasts for a total of 70 minutes, with 20 minutes recording the luxury of this celebration party, 40 minutes introducing the various departments and daily work content of Futureman Group, and 10 minutes introducing the corporate culture and company development philosophy.
It's obviously just a documentary, but Christopher has made it look like a Hollywood blockbuster! As soon as he saw the finished film, Jiang Chen immediately felt that the US$10 million was well spent!
Jiang Chen also made full preparations for the promotion of this film.
In addition to Futureman Group’s own channels, he not only reached online promotion agreements with internationally renowned video websites, but also rented a screen in New York’s Times Square for two weeks offline, which is known as the “World Under the landmark building "Crossroads", this US$10 million documentary... or advertisement was played repeatedly.
The effect of this kind of promotion is also very obvious. Compared with the previous months of the same year, the number of applicants for the Future Group in November increased significantly by an order of magnitude.
The longer-term impact cannot be seen yet, but I believe that as time goes by, the name of Future People Group will gradually become more and more popular. This brand benefit will not only be reflected in the career choices of job seekers, but also in the products of consumers. Choose!
Under the comment area, someone summarized the money spent by the Future Man Group from the filming to promotion of this documentary, and compiled it into a long bill. The final figure was as high as 15 million US dollars!
Faced with such a large sum of money from the Future Man Group, many netizens shouted that it was a "waste".
"It costs so much money to make a documentary, right?"
"Good guy, the price of this single episode is estimated to break the Guinness World Record! If Jiang Chen applies..."
"Hot chicken! Why don't you give me this much money? I can get one for only ten thousand dollars."
"Upstairs, are you sure your worth is comparable to Christopher?"
"Wait a minute, isn't the Future Man Group in the documentary what we should be paying attention to? Paid leave, a relaxed working environment, generous remuneration, and free real estate in Penglai City after working for 5 years!... Oh my god, compared with the Future Man Group , my current job is like a piece of shit!”
“…”
At the same time, many newspapers and magazines have also made bold guesses. Does Future Group's move mean that it will enter the entertainment industry? Virtual reality + movie? This concept is a bit confusing! Investors have set their sights on Warner Bros.
Considering the personal relationship between Christopher Nolan and Jiang Chen, if Future Man Group has the idea of entering the entertainment industry, Warner Bros. will undoubtedly become the most likely partner!
The day after the public opinion fermented, the stock price of Time Warner, the parent company of Warner Bros., rose in response and finally stopped at US$62.7 billion. Wall Street analysts use a special term to define this phenomenon, the "future man effect."
In the absence of large capital or negative intervention, the enthusiasm of investors will push up the stock price by 5-10 points for any company that has related transactions with Future Man Group or whose cooperation is expected to exceed 50%.
This view is recognized by the stock god Buffett. But this wise and old investment guru also said: "I do not deny the impact that the recent news from Future Group has had on the Dow Jones and Nasdaq indices. We are in an era of rapid change, facing Looking at a rising technology superstar, just like Cisco and Microsoft back then. But at the same time, I have to be wary of you, irrational investment is not advisable... "
Is Futureman Group interested in the entertainment industry
Originally Jiang Chen didn't, but after a conversation with Roberts, he changed his mind.
Futureman Group has no foundation in film and television and no experience in the entertainment industry, but it has something that all entertainment industries cannot do without.
That's the channel!
As of the end of November, virtual helmets had 600 million users worldwide. And at a time when major companies around the world generally lack experience in VR software development, users are highly concentrated on Futureman Technology's products. For example, the online game "God Level Continent", and another example is the VR social platform...
It would be such a waste to have a huge channel but not use it. Isn’t Penguin pursuing a pan-entertainment strategy? The Future People Group can also do it, and it can do it even better than them!
On the fifth day after completing the filming of the documentary, Jiang Chen paid Christopher a salary of US$10 million. Before he returned to the United States with his production team, Jiang Chen invited him to have lunch in a private capacity.
At lunch, Jiang Chen naturally led the topic in the direction of Hollywood.
"I've watched a lot of movies, but I don't know much about Hollywood itself. Can Mr. Nolan introduce it to me?"
"Mr. Jiang Chen is interested in investing in movies?" Christopher said with a hint of surprise.
"The film industry is part of our pan-entertainment strategy, and I am also very interested in science fiction films." Jiang Chen said with a smile.
"We at Warner Bros. have high-quality scripts, actors, and director resources. If you are interested, we can definitely cooperate in this area!" Christopher immediately promoted his company to Jiang Chen.
As one of the world's largest film and television entertainment production companies, Warner Bros. Entertainment is so powerful that it does not need capital investment as urgently as other small producers. As a director who once created a box office of $1 billion for Warner Bros., Christopher is not very dependent on the capital.
Warner Bros. is interested in the promotion channels of Future Man Group and the amazing virtual reality system!
If virtual reality can be used in special effects production, even film shooting, and theater viewing, it will undoubtedly have a disruptive impact on the entire film industry. Warner Bros. will be the first producer to use virtual reality shooting technology, leaving its name in the history of film development!
Thinking of this, Christopher looked at Jiang Chen with even more eager eyes.
Can you seize the opportunity of the times? This is your chance! (.)
