Now Qing Ning Entertainment Company has also branched out into many subsidiaries, which are based on different countries or cultures, so that the film and television dramas shot by the subsidiaries are more professional and more suitable for the market of that country or culture.
If they are all piled together, it will cause a lot of confusion. After such classification, not only the management difficulty is reduced, but the thinking is also much clearer, which is significantly improved than before.
They are able to achieve such good results now, especially the production quantity and revenue of overseas film and television dramas have increased so much, all due to this more professional setup.
Compared with the film and television business, although their record business is also quite prosperous and much better than before, the height it has reached is still far from the film and television business.
On the one hand, their record business is mainly for the local market, and overseas music production has basically been suspended, which limits the market capacity of their record business.
This was specially ordered by Zhao Yi, because he found that producing foreign music could not actually spread our country's culture very well, but instead prospered the music culture of other countries in disguise.
Because there are huge differences between music and film and television dramas, the amount of information that music records can convey is very limited compared to film and television dramas, and in most cases it is impossible to distinguish cultural differences.
Just like in the previous life, my country sang a lot of covers of Japanese music. In fact, you can't hear the Japanese elements in it at all. On the contrary, it has prospered my music culture.
Compared with being able to use other people's language to create music, you can use your own language to create music and then strengthen foreign promotion efforts, which is much more effective.
As for the companies under his banner, they have abundant resources for overseas music promotion and have achieved good results, making our country's music more and more popular in the international market.
After all, it is not a music work in a local language. It is quite difficult to completely compete with local music. This is a natural disadvantage and is detrimental to market development.
But for Zhao Yi, it is not important to have fewer markets. What is important is that doing so can further enhance the influence of our country's culture. Compared with this, making less money is not a big deal.
On the other hand, due to the relative lack of musical talents in our country, many musical talents from Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan have been introduced, but it is not enough to meet our country's demand for musical talents.
Compared with cultivating film and television talents, cultivating music talents is much more difficult, because many of these talents need to be cultivated from an early age, and it is not enough to be good-looking.
Obviously, our country was not very wealthy before. In addition, the relevant music talent training system was not perfect, and the scale of the talent base was very limited. Even if colleges and universities expanded their enrollment, the total number was still limited.
The current prosperity of the domestic music market mainly relies on music works created by artificial intelligence. However, it is not that easy to produce all these music works.
As mentioned before, for some musical works, it is necessary to find suitable singers. Obviously, talents in this area are not so abundant. Even though Lime Entertainment Records has taken many measures over the years, it is still insufficient.
However, Zhao Yiyi is quite satisfied with the current state of the music market. At least it is much better than before. Now walking in the streets, you can always hear different styles of music from time to time.
Not only are music styles becoming more diversified, but music consumption is also gradually accelerating in China. Originally, Qianxun Technology Company’s online music platform generated very low domestic revenue.
But since last year, the platform's profitability has gradually increased. Last year, if the losses in previous years were not deducted, it was already profitable. This is great progress.
No matter what era it was in, music would never be without a market. The only reason was whether the people could afford it. In other words, the affluence of the people directly determined the size of the music market.
Obviously, since the massive salary increase the year before last, people have gradually become more and more favored for spiritual consumer products such as music and film in addition to daily consumption.
"Etiquette is known through practical experience." People's lives are getting richer and richer, and they are paying more and more attention to needs other than survival. It is not just cultural products such as music, film and television that feel the enthusiasm of people for consumption.
Even the tourism products under Shangtong Trading Company are becoming more and more popular among the people. However, the current railway construction has not yet reached its ideal state. Otherwise, it will become even more popular.
Fortunately, the domestic aviation industry is still developing very rapidly, and the layout is also very early. In addition, the highway construction process has begun to take shape, providing a lot of convenience for people's travel.
Because our country's airlines are basically all produced by Star Express, the price of the aircraft is naturally cheaper. In addition, their passenger planes are much more economical than other passenger planes, so the price of flying is actually not high.
In the past, it only cost more than 60 yuan to fly from the capital to Shanghai. Now, although there is a certain amount of inflation, the price has not increased much, and it still only costs about 100 yuan.
This is still affordable for domestic people with an average monthly salary of more than 1,500 yuan, and the comfort of the aircraft is much better than before.
You must know that this is the market price, and the airline actually still makes a certain profit. It is different from before, when the internal price was implemented, and the two are actually not comparable.
These are all because our country now has a complete aviation manufacturing industry. Although the products of Star Express Company are mainly characterized by good quality and high price, in the domestic market, the price is not as high as in the international market.
Of course, when the purchase prices are announced to the outside world, they are still based on unified international standards. After all, Star Express Company is an international enterprise, and such internal purchase prices are already a tacit secret.
Last year, Shangtong Trading Company's tourism business reached 100 billion yuan. Although it is not on the same level as the previous trillion yuan, this is already a very good performance for the newly developed tourism industry.
In fact, there are still many domestic tourism resources that need to be explored. At present, the tourism resources developed by Shangtong Trading Company are still slightly insufficient. At present, they are also fully exploring and improving our country's tourism resources.
Especially for tourism products that are relatively remote but have beautiful natural scenery and rich regional cultural characteristics, this is an area that Shangtong Trading Company is currently actively developing.
Places with relatively remote geographical locations like this do not actually have much potential for industrial development. If we want to make the people in these areas rich, we can only develop tourism-related industries.
As long as the tourism industry is done well, it will bring sustainable profitability to these places, allowing local people to live a prosperous life, which will be of great benefit to the balanced economic development of our country's regions.
The tourism business operated by Shangtong Trading Company is based on the premise of creating long-term tourism benefits. It not only allows people to travel with confidence, but also the travel costs are very reasonable, and has won unanimous praise from domestic tourists.
In addition to domestic tourism business, Shangtong Trading Company is also now actively exploring international tourism resources, mainly for countries such as Southeast Asia, and not many other countries are involved.
The tourism resources in other developed countries have actually been developed almost, and there are not many resources left for commercial trading companies, so there is no need to develop them. If you really want to do this business, you can only cooperate with others.
But Southeast Asia is different. It is not only very close to the country, but also has a lot of tourism resources to be developed. This is an untapped gold mine for Shangtong Trading Company.
They have purchased or rented many islands with good geographical conditions and very sparse environments in Southeast Asia, and are preparing to build their own island vacation tourism brand. Southeast Asia has abundant resources in this regard.
In addition, they are also actively developing the cultural folk tourism business in Southeast Asian countries. However, this requires a lot of cooperation with the locals. It is still very difficult for them to develop it by themselves.
There is actually no rush to develop the overseas tourism business. Although the domestic people are gradually getting richer, the demand for overseas tourism is actually not large, and there are currently some problems that need to be actively resolved before they can be launched.
But this does not prevent them from occupying the high-quality tourism resources in Southeast Asia first. After all, these natural resources with superior geographical location are first come, first served. If they are slow, they may be gone.
Zhao Yi understands very well that material conditions cannot increase infinitely, because there are only so many types of materials commonly used by people, and they just keep changing over and over, but the core will not change.
Just like we only eat so many meals a day, it is impossible to eat unlimitedly. At most, we eat different things at each meal, but such consumption and enjoyment are ultimately limited.
If we want the economy to continue to develop at a high speed in the future, we also need to meet the spiritual needs of the people, because the consumption potential in this area is much greater than material consumption, and the future economic scale will definitely be much larger.
In addition to continuing to work in the industrial economy, agricultural economy and traditional service industries, our country also needs to increase the scale of the virtual economy.
Of course, this includes the Internet economy, which has developed very well now, but it is not limited to this. It is just that there are still many unexplored areas.
For example, in the virtual world that he has been thinking about for a long time, the brainwave interface is actually relatively mature. At least he has relatively mature technology in his hands. The only problem now is the lack of computing power and the network is not particularly ideal.
With the current silicon-based chips, the computing power is still not enough to use the brain-computer interface very smoothly, which will be very poor for the user experience. This is different from the traditional Internet when opening a web page, which is slightly laggy and the experience is poor. very bad.
Moreover, the network delay is unbearable. Even the global satellite communication system is still not enough for the virtual world. In short, the current basic conditions are still not met.
In his opinion, the most ideal chips and networks are naturally based on quantum mechanics, which have sufficient computing power, almost no delay, and protect user privacy.
Seeing Zhou Jinyu watching the TV series with gusto, Zhao waited until an episode of the TV series was played and asked, "Have you thought carefully about the question just now?"
Hearing his question, Lin Hexia also looked over. She also wanted to hear Zhou Jinyu's thoughts. Zhou Jinyu felt a little embarrassed when he saw the eager eyes of the two.
After thinking about it for a long time, she finally said: "I quite like the job of being a teacher. After all, I have become familiar with it after so many years. In addition, teachers in colleges and universities are relatively scarce now, so naturally I need to do my part.
But after so many years, I have also wanted to change a lot. A game competition like this is a very novel experience, and it seems to make my life more colorful.
So I want to try more aspects in the future, but at the moment I don’t know what to do next. After all, except for the teacher’s job, which I am familiar with, everything else is relatively unfamiliar to me. "
This is true. No one would rashly want to join something that is beyond their knowledge. Unless they think it is very profitable, they will be so desperate.
Obviously Zhou Jinyu doesn't value profit that much. What's important is to satisfy her sense of novelty and provide her with more excitement in her life. This is what she needs.
After hearing what she said, Zhao Yi and Lin Hexia were also helping her think about this problem. After all, the game competition will be over in a month or two. It is best to plan the next step in advance, otherwise they will have to go back to being teachers. .
It’s just that her previous major was education. After the popularity of artificial intelligence teachers in theoretical courses in colleges and universities, she had more free time. After all, education majors are not those majors in science and engineering, and there are not so many manual practical courses.
Of course, it is not completely absent, but there are not many teachers who need to participate in the whole process. This is one of the important reasons why the school and she are not too anxious when she has been out playing games for so many days.
"How did you feel when you went to shoot a commercial today?" Lin Hexia asked.
"It's pretty good. The photographer always praises me for my talent, saying that even when he takes photos of other professional actors, he rarely gets a pass." After saying this, Zhou Jinyu looked proud, as if she really surpassed professional actors. Same.
When Lin Hexia heard what she said, she didn't hit her. Instead, her eyes brightened and she said, "Then have you ever thought about becoming a star?"
Nowadays, the mainland does not put too much emphasis on the concept of stars. Internal professionals are just called actors and singers. However, in Hong Kong, the word star is not unfamiliar.
However, with Zhao Yi's status, there is nothing extraordinary in any position in the entertainment industry. This is why Zhou Jinyu did not think deeply about it, because it is a common thing for her.
She can chat and laugh with the presidents of top entertainment companies like Lime Entertainment. Naturally, she doesn't have that much admiration for their actors or singers. At most, she just likes their works, and she won't like these celebrities themselves because of this.
Because she knows very well that works are works and people are people. This is actually very clear in the entertainment industry. Only irrational audiences will foolishly confuse the two.
After hearing Lin Hexia's words, Zhou Jinyu thought for a while, and then looked at Zhao Yi. Obviously she wanted to seek Zhao Yi's opinion. After all, he was the backbone now, and it was definitely right and very necessary to listen to his opinion.
"Being a star is not easy. You need to meet many conditions. In addition to outstanding body and appearance, you also need to have certain talents and be able to let go. Jin Yu has not been trained in this area.
More importantly, being a celebrity is not a comfortable career. Not only is it very busy, but it is also restricted by various aspects. It is not as free as we imagined.
Of course, compared to ordinary professions, celebrities naturally earn much more, but this is also because top celebrities earn much more. Generally, celebrities do not earn much more than ordinary people. Of course, the degree of freedom is much better.
But since you enter this industry, you need to spend a lot of energy to maintain popularity. If there is no popularity, you cannot be called a star. At most, you are an actor or singer.
In short, celebrities are not as good as we think. They look glamorous, but the efforts behind them are much greater than ordinary professions, and the pressure is also not small. " Zhao Yi said.
After listening to Zhao Yi's words, Zhou Jinyu nodded and said: "It's not a big deal, my talent in this area is not particularly outstanding. At most, I only took some dance courses and music knowledge courses when I was in college.
If you don't have the ability in this area, you will just be a role in the entertainment industry. In my opinion, it is better not to enter the entertainment industry, and live a normal life like this. "
The education major she studied in college actually has many strange courses, such as dance basics and music basics, which can be used if she works in front-line education.
But compared with those who have been trained since childhood, her professionalism is insufficient, which is why she doesn't want to enter the entertainment industry. As for the unspoken rules, there is no need to worry too much.
On the one hand, it is naturally determined by her identity. With her relationship with Zhao Yi, she just walks sideways in the entertainment industry. No one dares to mess with her. If she wants to unspoken rules, then she really doesn't want to hang out.
On the other hand, Zhao Yi repeatedly emphasized that unspoken rules must be eliminated in the entertainment industry. Although there is no guarantee that there will be no hidden rules, he will never dare to blatantly do so. Once discovered, he will really leave the industry forever.
As the largest entertainment company in the country, Qing Ning Entertainment definitely has the power to make entertainers who do not follow the rules disappear from the public eye forever, so most people will not step on this red line unless necessary.
The most important thing is that Qing Ning Entertainment is also very good at training newcomers. They don't need to go to a training camp to have a chance to get ahead. As long as they are really talented in this area, they basically have a chance to get ahead.
If it is still difficult to stand out after giving them resources, then it is most likely a problem with their own abilities. But if you can't be a star, you can still make a living in this industry, and it is much better than ordinary careers.
Therefore, the domestic entertainment industry is still relatively well-behaved. If someone really likes each other, they should do it openly. The company does not object. After all, emotional needs are human nature, and it is not wise to suppress them blindly.
If you just do some stupid things, then it is an unethical behavior. If you are found out, even your job in this industry will be destroyed, and the loss is not ordinary.
From the perspective of Green Lemon Entertainment, no star is irreplaceable. Even those who are extremely popular will be treated in the same way once they break through the bottom line, and everyone will be treated equally.
"If you really want to be in the entertainment industry and don't want to be disturbed too much, there is no way. But if you want to be famous, it will be very difficult. After all, it requires a lot of exposure. To keep the heat going.”
Zhao Yi saw that although Zhou Jinyu refused, she still looked a little unwilling, so he added this paragraph. After all, in his opinion, there were many ways to make up for her shortcomings in this area.
Zhou Jinyu did not speak, but Lin Hexia took the lead and asked, "Tell me quickly."
Seeing her anxious look, Zhao Yi gave her a look and said, "Why are you anxious? The master hasn't spoken yet. Do you also want to go to the entertainment industry?"
Lin Hexia didn't expect that Zhao Yi would think that she was just a little anxious, and said quickly: "I'm not. Isn't this because I'm anxious for Jin Yu? Besides, as a CEO, I have to compete with celebrities in the entertainment industry. Job?"
He also thought that the profession of celebrity made women of different statuses flock to it. If this was true, it meant that there were some problems with the social atmosphere. Although celebrities were indispensable, they definitely could not afford such a huge following.
"Then just tell me." Zhou Jinyu also asked.
“If you really want to make a name for yourself in the entertainment industry, it’s best to become a singer. Compared to being an actor, the career of a singer is much easier and doesn’t have so many hassles.
If there are many good works around, the income earned is no worse than those of first-line actors. The only requirement is that good singers need high talent and good works. " Zhao Yi said.
"Then look at my voice. Can I sing?" After saying that, Zhou Jinyu immediately sang a part of "Jasmine" a cappella. After all, she rarely sang in front of them.
After listening to Zhou Jinyu's a cappella singing, Zhao Yi said: "To be honest, you are still far behind those professional singers. Among amateur singers, you are not considered top-notch."
Hearing his comments, Zhou Jinyu was immediately discouraged. This really cannot be solved by studying. Voice is sometimes a gift from God and cannot be made up by hard work.
Seeing her expression, Zhao Yi smiled slightly and said, "Since I suggested becoming a singer, I naturally took your conditions into consideration, and I naturally have a way to help you solve this problem."
Hearing what he said, Lin Hexia couldn't help but patted him on the arm and said, "You can even breathe when you talk now. It makes us anxious."
"I can use the power of technology to give your voice unique conditions. The only thing you need to do now is to accumulate knowledge of music theory, and at the same time, you need to fully master the new voice." Zhao Yi said.
Now that he is ready to cheat, he naturally needs to use the best. When the time comes, Zhou Jinyu's voice will be able to produce various sounds, and he only needs to master the vocal techniques of various sounds.
With this as a foundation, there are endless possibilities. After her knowledge of music theory has accumulated to a certain level, he can provide her with a lot of musical works.
In addition, a lot of resources are used for promotion, and it is difficult not to become popular. Moreover, this process does not require Zhou Jinyu to show up frequently, so the work is naturally not particularly hard, and it can even be done in his spare time from school work. (End of chapter)
