At Taobao's celebration banquet, most of the stars who had previously recorded TV commercials for Taobao were present.
Mo Wenwei is here, Jay Chou is here, Elva Hsiao is here...
In addition to these people, Du Wei and Zhang Kexuan, who had just returned from Ludao filming, also came.
As CEO, Li Mu was not the first to come out to open the ceremony. Instead, Taobao’s current chief operating officer, Lei Guozhu, was the first to appear. In his opening speech, he affirmed the efforts of all Taobao people and affirmed Taobao’s amazing achievements. , affirmed Taobao's huge influence on the entire Chinese e-commerce in the future, and mobilized the enthusiasm of all employees. Then, Brother Liu came on stage.
Senior Brother Liu is also a leader who is very good at inspiring morale. If he is not with Li Mu, he has a strong leadership temperament. This time, Senior Brother Liu affirmed Taobao's achievements, and on the other hand, he also described Taobao Express to everyone. s future.
It is said to be Taobao Express, but this is just a brand name for users. Brother Liu prefers to call it Taobao Logistics, because in the future Taobao Logistics' business will definitely cover the entire logistics field, not just express delivery services.
After Brother Liu's speech, he left a huge suspense for all Taobao employees. He said that in order to reward everyone for their great efforts in this big promotion, the company deliberately prepared generous rewards for everyone with great efforts. As for what the reward will be, CEO Li Mu will be invited to announce it personally later.
So, from the very beginning, everyone was looking forward to Li Mu's appearance.
However, Li Mu is still very good at controlling the rhythm. Naturally, the main event cannot be performed first, so he did not appear immediately. Instead, he let the celebrities who took the time to come to congratulate take turns to appear and give speeches.
All the celebrities who came to support were without exception singers, so everyone appeared on the stage with one song + two paragraphs. After taking the stage, they first introduced themselves and congratulated Taobao for its success, and then sang a song. , and finally ends with a few scene words.
The arrival of many celebrities has greatly increased the pride of Taobao employees in the company. To be honest, Li Mu's skill is indeed rare in the corporate field. Li Mu is simply the entrepreneur who is best at using celebrities in this era.
To Li Mu, stars are like muskets in the cold weapon era. Most generals do not know how to use them, use them poorly, and cannot exert their maximum effect. However, Li Mu was deeply influenced by the formation and tactics of later generations. Understand the huge role that celebrities can play in corporate promotion, and take advantage of the fact that we now have the largest Internet products and the largest Internet e-commerce platform, with numerous celebrity resources and low costs.
The three hundred media reporters present really caught the spotlight this time. Although Li Mu has not yet appeared, more than a dozen famous singers have taken turns to appear. This lineup alone is enough to write an entire page.
In the lounge provided by Kempinski, Li Mu, Du Wei and Zhang Kexuan sat and chatted together. Simple Plan did not all come this time. The others returned to Jinling after filming. Only Zhang Kexuan came to Yanjing. This time When he came to Yanjing, Zhang Kexuan was burdened with a major task, which was to ask Li Mu for songs.
It is really useless to rely on oneself. Although the four people of Simple Plan really want to write original works by themselves, due to their limited strength, the things they write are really difficult to use.
Because the tone of the previous songs has been set very high, if you can't come up with good songs at this time, you can say that you are temporarily busy with filming and have no time to create. However, if you come up with bad songs that are of a much lower level, it will be a bit unreasonable and very difficult. It is easy to expose the true level.
Li Mu also knew that the film was finished, and the next step was intensive post-production, and the recording of the theme song and interludes was about to begin.
Li Mu just chatted with the two at first, but did not get straight to the point immediately. When Du Wei came on stage to sing, Li Mu said to Zhang Kexuan in private: "I have already written the theme song and interlude for this movie. One theme song and three interludes, two of which are for you Simple Plan, and two are for Du Wei, but you still claim that these two are original songs of Simple Plan."
Zhang Kexuan nodded, feeling relieved in his heart, but he said with a bit of embarrassment on his face: "To this day, we still have to ask you to write songs for us. To be honest, we are a little bit embarrassed, but our abilities are indeed limited. We can’t write any good songs, so we have a plan to fade out of the music industry after a while.”
Li Mu smiled slightly: "You don't have to completely fade out. You can try to change your career. Film and television is a good choice. If this movie becomes popular, I will cast you in a few more youth idol dramas in the future. Maybe He will become an A-list actor."
Zhang Kexuan smiled awkwardly and said: "Acting is pretty good, but the other brothers are not so easy to handle..."
Li Mu said: "Even if the simple plan is always there, Tianming and the three of them are just supporting roles for you. If everyone has to be tied together, the practical significance is not very big. Sooner or later you will still have to fly solo in the future."
After saying that, Li Mu added: "You have two biggest problems now. One is that you have no originality, and the other is that the band form is not popular in China. Instead of doing this, my suggestion is that in the future you go solo and then simply The plan is not to be disbanded. I am looking for a new lead singer for the three of them, and I have to find a lead singer with songwriting ability. This will free up the four of you. After you go solo, your focus can shift to film and television. As a As a singer, you can openly sing songs written by others; at the same time, the other brothers can continue Simple Plan. Even if they have no original ability, they still have the reputation of Simple Plan and can play musical instruments. ability, so finding a new lead singer who can write songs can be considered a rescue for them.”
Zhang Kexuan nodded: "What you said does make sense. If we are tied together, we may not be able to escape death in the end. If I come out, I can turn everyone's situation around."
Li Mu smiled calmly: "Resources are integrated and split. You can communicate with everyone first, but you don't need to consider going solo before the first half of next year. I promise to release an album for you, and I will make Simple Plan To release an album of high quality and substantial weight.”
Zhang Kexuan said gratefully: "I won't say much more about my thanks. In short, as long as I still want to be in this circle, I will follow you."
Li Mu prepared four original songs for "Girls We Chased Together in Those Years", and the two songs prepared for Simple Plan are: the theme song of the original movie "Those Years" and Wu Yuetian's "Suddenly Miss You So Much"; The ones prepared for Du Wei are "The First Day" and "Unfortunately It's Not You" by Sun Yanzi.
As the theme song, "Those Years" is the theme song, "The First Day" is used as the interlude when the male and female protagonists develop feelings for each other, and "Suddenly Miss You So Much" is used as the theme song after the protagonist and the female protagonist quarrel and when they don't see each other. "It's a pity it's not you" is used as the ending song. The heroine got married. The scene seemed harmonious. But in fact, what Li Mu wanted to express at the end was the regret that the lover could not be together in the end, so in what seemed like a peaceful scene, At the end of the harmonious wedding plot, there is a scene where the heroine is at the wedding scene, wearing a wedding dress and looking at the back of the hero as he leaves, with a smile on her face, but in an instant she releases an unconcealable sadness. At this time, "Unfortunately It's Not You" The music starts and the play ends.
Even though she was married and at the wedding, the heroine still loved the hero deeply in her heart, but it was a pity that the two could not get together.
This is the core idea that Li Mu wants to highlight in this movie, and it is also the selling point that will bring tears to the eyes at the end. When the time comes, using YY's powerful delivery capabilities and mainly pushing it to young people, it will definitely arouse a huge response among young people.
Originally, Li Mu wanted to use "The Brightest Star in the Night Sky" for Simple Plan, but after thinking about it carefully, if this song was released, it would obviously suppress the theme song of "Those Years", so he simply put this song Save the song and wait for the right opportunity to bring it out.
If this movie does well at the box office, we can make a sequel. The sequel will be completely aimed at the box office. Find a screenwriter and ask him to find a way to design some bloody plot to make the male protagonist like the female protagonist. I also like the male protagonist, and then something happens that won't lower the female protagonist's morals. If I try to make the heroine's marriage dirty and bring the male and female protagonists together, I guess it will make a dent in the box office.
Continuations have always been what the cultural industry is best at doing. "Fast and Furious" has already filmed its eighth film. For a youth drama with a small investment, it is not too much to film two or three films.
…
After a concert-like performance by all the stars, the atmosphere of the entire celebration banquet has reached a climax, but the real climax has not yet arrived. All Taobao employees and media reporters are waiting for Li Mu's appearance.
So, Li Mu made his final appearance with everyone's expectations, and he attracted thunderous applause as soon as he appeared.
For Taobao employees, Li Mu is almost a god-like existence. He not only leads them to create miracles one after another, but also brings them rising income. The most cohesive team is the one that does well and earns more. , in this case, team spirit will continue to arise on its own, and there is no need for leaders to find ways to mobilize and cultivate it.
Standing in front of everyone, Li Mu first thanked everyone for their efforts in recent times, thanked the celebrities present for their enthusiastic performances, and thanked the media reporters who were invited to the celebration banquet. Then, Li Mu stretched out two fingers and said to everyone. Said: "I will only say two points tonight. First of all, in order to thank all employees for their efforts, the company will pay a fairly generous bonus to all employees. The specific amount is three months' monthly salary. This money will be paid in October." It is reflected in the September monthly salary paid, and I have communicated with the finance staff. In order to let everyone enjoy a perfect National Day holiday, the salary and bonus originally scheduled to be paid on the 10th of next month will be distributed by the finance staff tomorrow!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the cheers and cheers from the audience were deafening!
To be given three months' monthly salary as a reward at once is almost unimaginable in this day and age! After hearing this, everyone thought they were dreaming, but it happened to be true. So for a while, all the employees in the audience were filled with admiration and love for Li Mu. People were whistling and shouting everywhere in the audience.
"Mr. Li! I love you!"
"Mr. Li! You are so handsome!!"
"Mr. Li! I want to give you a baby!!!"
Even the media reporters were dumbfounded. Good guy, just a bonus and three months’ salary? It’s not the end of the year yet. Will there be year-end bonuses at the end of the year? The Taobao employees are so cool!
At this time, Li Mu stretched out his hands to signal everyone to be quiet, but it still took a few minutes for everyone to gradually calm down.
Later, Li Mu smiled and said: "Are you so excited? I only said one of the two things. Everyone must calm down."
A male employee in the audience shouted loudly: "Mr. Li, the company is so generous, we really can't calm down..."
Li Mu smiled and said, "I just admire your worthless look."
The audience burst into laughter.
Li Mu immediately became serious and continued: "Let's get down to business. The second thing I want to announce is that the company will arrange for all employees to go to the Maldives for a nine-day vacation in the near future. The company will give everyone five days off and occupy two of our employees. On the weekend, all you have to do is quickly buy sunglasses and a swimsuit, and girls choose the right sunscreen. In addition, all other expenses for you will be borne by the company!"
Although the Maldives is not that famous these days, for these white-collar workers, they still have a certain understanding of the Maldives, especially girls who are born to love traveling, the sea, and romance. As soon as they heard that the company wanted to pay Inviting everyone to travel to the Maldives, almost every female employee screamed in surprise.
At this time, Li Mu dropped another bombshell: "There is also an additional small benefit. All employees at P6, M6 and above levels can bring a family member with them, and all expenses of the family members will be fully borne by the company. ! So, bring all your husbands, wives, boyfriends, and girlfriends and have a good time!"
"Long live Mr. Li!!!"
Hundreds of people in the audience instantly went crazy. Before Li Mu came on stage, the employees also communicated privately. Everyone was discussing how much bonus the company could give this time. Many people's expectation was to double the monthly salary, which would mean an extra month. It's good enough to use salary as bonus, but I didn't expect that Li Mu would come up with so many unexpected and huge benefits in one go!
The most handsome boss is one who is willing to share profits with his employees. Even if he is as ugly as a dog, he will be sought after and loved by all employees. On the contrary, a boss who is unwilling to share profits with his employees, even if he is as handsome as Edison Chen, will be popular among his employees. In my mind, it may not be comparable to a piece of smelly dog shit.
Li Mu has invisibly raised the threshold for entry into the industry for the word "good boss"...
At this time, Li Mu looked at the ecstatic employees in the audience, smiled empathetically, and said to everyone: "That's all I have to say today. In the next time, everyone will eat and drink well! I also wish everyone a happy National Day holiday!" "
