Hollywood Hunter

Chapter 1281

Zhejiang, China.

In a small courtyard in Dongzha, Wuzhen, on the Asian side, it was Friday, December 12.

early morning.

Xie Qingtai, who was discussing the latest video plan with everyone last night until late at night, just opened her eyes when she saw Chu Lin and Yu Xiaomin gathered together in front of the computer next to the desk.

Chu Lin and Yu Xiaomin are both members of Xie Qingtai's team in charge of "Jiangnan Time". There are also two boys, Jiangbei An and Rong Zhiyuan. They rented this spacious yard in Dongzha, Wuzhen as their residence and studio. .

The bedroom in front of me was completely arranged according to the layout of the university dormitory. There were two bunk beds on one side, but there were only three beds. The lower bunk on the side near the door was converted into a wardrobe, and on the other side was a row of long tables for dressing and office work.

Xie Qingtai, who was on the upper bunk near the door, propped herself up slightly under the quilt, and gradually regained consciousness from the initial confusion, and soon remembered something, poked her head and asked the two women below: "How many clicks in total, breaking a hundred?" Is it safe?"

The two neatly dressed girls who got up early heard the voice. Chu Lin, who was a screenwriter in Beijing Film Academy and was in charge of copywriting, turned her head, with a joyful expression, and nodded, "Breakthrough, the three videos have a total of 1.13 million."

Xie Qingtai suddenly became more energetic, turned around and looked at the computer screen below, and said in her mouth: "1.13 million, according to the information we have read, the share of every thousand hits on YouTube is between 0.6 and 1.8 US dollars, discounted Let’s hit it, calculate it based on 1 US dollar, 1.13 million is 1130 US dollars, the conversion is about 10,000 yuan, 10,000 yuan for two days, tsk tsk.”

Yu Xiaomin, who also came from the Department of Acting and was a class higher than Xie Qingtai because her English is very good, was responsible for the English dubbing of the video. She didn't even look back and poured cold water on her: "What's there to be happy about? Our salary is still 600 yuan."

The other two women both had a meal.

All right.

This is indeed a frustrating problem.

Chu Lin looked at Xie Qingtai with anticipation: "Qingtai, the grades are so good, we should be able to get some bonuses, right?"

Xie Qingtai sat up and began to dress, and said, "It's useless to ask me, I also work for others."

Chu Lin didn't give up: "Then why don't you ask Mr. Guan today?"

Xie Qingtai thought for a while, nodded and said, "Okay."

"I think the problem is not the first year's monthly salary," Yu Xiaomin finally turned her head, glanced at Chu Lin and Xie Qingtai, lowered her voice slightly, and said, "Even next year, we can only get 30% of the share. It’s so little in terms of what we’re giving, I mean, why can’t we get rid of Jinshu and do it ourselves?”

After Yu Xiaomin finished speaking, the atmosphere in the room froze for a moment.

Chu Lin looked at Yu Xiaomin, then at Xie Qingtai who was still wearing clothes, paused, and then whispered: "Qingtai, I... think so too."

After Chu Lin finished speaking, she felt a little guilty.

Because she knows that it is okay for her and Yu Xiaomin to leave this small team, but Xie Qingtai has signed a strict five-year agreement. Two-year non-compete. That is to say, even if she can afford 1 million, she will not be able to set foot in this field for at least two years after leaving.

Therefore, before Xie Qingtai got up, Yu Xiaomin actually told Chu Lin about her other idea.

Now that they have figured out how this so-called self-media works and the project is so successful, they can leave completely, form another team, and do it themselves, so that all the benefits will be their own.

Three videos can earn 10,000 yuan in two days, and one or two million a year.

In comparison, the few of us can only get a salary of 600 yuan, which is indeed too little.

Although Chu Lin also knew that Jinshu would be responsible for the operation of their video releases, it would definitely be more effective with less effort, but if they did it alone, even if it was only one-tenth of the results here, they could earn more than 100,000 to 200,000 yuan a year.

If you share one point, you can get tens of thousands.

It's much better than six thousand yuan a year.

What's more, they are already familiar with the process of the whole thing, who said that they can only achieve one-tenth of the result?

It might be better than here.

In this way, it is not impossible for everyone to become a millionaire after a few years of work. If they can really earn that much money, they can retire before they are thirty.

While the three girls were thinking, the atmosphere was silent for a moment. Xie Qingtai, who put socks on her feet, finally said: "Do you remember that I talked with you about the background of Jinshu in private?"

Seeing that Yu Xiaomin didn't speak, Chu Lin could only answer, "I know, Daenerys Entertainment of Hollywood."

"Daenerys, and Igret, the parent company of YouTube, are actually the same boss, both are Simon Westeros," Xie Qingtai said, put on her socks, got out of bed along the escalator, and continued: " When we first negotiated the agreement, I asked Mr. Guan why we could only get 30%, but Jinshu took the bulk. Our video production provides sufficient guarantee, and we will also be responsible for the follow-up promotion, so it takes the majority. You have also seen the official recommendations of youtube in the past two days. Without these recommendations, let alone three videos breaking through 1 million hits, it is possible Not even 10,000."

The other two women fell silent again.

Xie Qingtai came to the dressing table, brushed her hair quickly, and then walked out, saying: "I know what you think, if you insist on leaving yourself to do it, I can't stop it, but remember to do it in advance Tell me, I need to inform Jinshu to find someone else

substitute. "

Seeing Xie Qingtai walk out of the bedroom after taking the washbasin toothbrush from behind the door, Chu Lin looked at Yu Xiaomin: "Xiao Min, do you want to go?"

"I'm in contact with some classmates, Chu Lin, if you really leave, will you come with me?"

Chu Lin didn't answer, but asked, "Where are Jiang Bei'an and Rong Zhiyuan?"

"Take time to chat, if they are willing to go together, it will definitely be better."

Seeing that Yu Xiaomin was still looking at her with piercing eyes after finishing speaking, Chu Lin dodged for a while, and said after a while: "I... Let's take a look again."

After all, Chu Lin didn't have Yu Xiaomin's aggressiveness.

Chu Lin, who was short and ordinary-looking, was neither as beautiful nor aggressive as Xie Qingtai and Yu Xiaomin, who were from the acting department. When she first joined this small team, Chu Lin thought more about being able to work in Jinshu Media, which is very popular at the moment, if things go wrong here.

In the current domestic media and entertainment industry, Jinshu is as attractive as foreign companies.

wrong.

It seems...Jinshu does have a foreign company component.

Because the performance of the work was so good, the rewards he received seemed too little. Except for Xie Qingtai, the rest of the team members were obviously a little flustered during breakfast.

Fortunately, there is no sign of an immediate separation.

After the first batch of three "Building Wupeng Boats", "Seal Cutting Seals" and "Making Breakfast Shaomai", the team officially finalized the fourth theme yesterday, because of the enthusiastic response to Xie Qingtai's several sets of cheongsam before and after Xie Qingtai. Make a cheongsam.

However, just after a group of men and women arrived in the morning at a tailor shop in the town that was used as a shooting location, someone came to find them.

The mayor who brought people here introduced that he was the director of the government office of Tongxiang City, the superior of Wuzhen. His surname was Liang, and his full name was Liang Zhiyu. Director Liang enthusiastically introduced himself as a native of Wuzhen. As a compliment, I also brought a reporter from the city TV station over to do an interview for the small team.

Let’s talk a few more words, Xie Qingtai and others know that although their video has only been released for two days, many people at home and abroad have been inquiring about this matter through various channels recently, those who want to invest, those who want to travel, those who want to The interviews were varied.

All in all a good thing.

When the team was stationed in Wuzhen, the Tongxiang municipal government was actually greeted by someone, hoping to take care of it.

At first, they didn't care too much, and the team didn't bother the city government to help, so there was basically no intersection. It wasn't until a group of people inquired about this matter that everyone knew that the work about Wuzhen released by this small team on an American video site was very popular, with hundreds of thousands of people watching it.

This is glory for the country.

In particular, there are overseas friends who come to contact us and want to travel. If they can earn foreign exchange or even attract foreign investment, that will be even more serious.

Immediately pay attention to it.

Today, the municipal government specially sent Liang Zhiyu, the head of the government office, to come over to contact him. In order to show his favor, he even directly brought the TV station over.

Xie Qingtai was not overwhelmed by the sudden popularity. She didn't want to accept an interview at first. After all, she didn't communicate with Jinshu and appeared in the media rashly. It's hard to say whether the result is good or bad. This matter was explained in advance Pass.

However, Director Liang was too enthusiastic. In the end, considering that it was only a small TV in a county-level city like Tongxiang, after all, he still wanted to make videos here, so he did not refuse.

I just made up my mind to notify the capital as soon as possible afterwards.

It took half an hour to record the interview. After the end, the people from the TV station left, but Director Liang didn't leave, and he didn't bother them. Instead, he patiently watched the team's recording until noon. Invite everyone to dinner, and said that it is a time-honored mutton soup restaurant in the town that he has eaten since he was a child, and he has already reserved a seat.

Knowing that the other party has something to talk about, Xie Qingtai agreed after a little consideration.

We came to a small restaurant in Xizha together, and after we sat down, Director Liang asked in detail about the original intention of the team to make the video, as well as any inconveniences and assistance needed.

When he learned that Xie Qingtai was originally a girl from a small village under Wuzhen, so she chose to make the video in her hometown, Director Liang was even more enthusiastic. After some inquiries, he even found that there were some twisted relatives, so he immediately promoted himself. Going to the position of 'Brother Liang', I recognized a girl on the spot.

Also because of this relationship, Xie Qingtai couldn't help but say a little more, persuading Director Liang to give up the idea of ​​developing tourism in Wuzhen. After all, with the current dilapidated state of Wuzhen, he will only be disappointed when he comes.

Xie Qingtai was actually a little worried.

The videos posted by the team on youtube are beautiful, that’s right, but those perfect scenes are all carefully selected and arranged by the team, and Wuzhen in reality is not beautiful at all. The two words dilapidated are very apt to describe it.

During the morning city TV station's interview, Xie Qingtai had the idea of ​​shifting positions because of this.

I chose Wuzhen because I am familiar with it and it is convenient to do things.

Just like the small courtyard they rented, it was introduced by relatives, and the content in the video, the craftsmen, venues, equipment, etc. involved were also introduced by relatives and friends.

However, now that the project has achieved initial results, and considering the possible embarrassing results once the reality is exposed, it is best not to tie the team to this small town.

In the Jiangnan area, there are many similar ancient towns, and it is very convenient to switch.

Choosing various places to take pictures gives people a general concept of a water town in the south of the Yangtze River, rather than a single fixed one.

A small town is not afraid of being poked by others.

Just like this time.

Xie Qingtai is also paying attention to the videos of several competitors. In Yangshuo, when asked about the shooting location, the official account directly gave an accurate answer. On their side, they have communicated with the team in charge of account operations in Beijing in advance, so as not to disclose it.

It's a pity that it was still picked up by another 'enthusiastic netizen', and now it is still being approached.

Awkward.

Next, if it’s just an interview with a local TV station that doesn’t have much impact, it’s fine. Once a higher-level media or even an overseas reporter rushes over, it turns out that the picturesque video location is actually dilapidated. , the result is unpredictable.

Thinking of this, Xie Qingtai made up her mind even more, she must communicate with the capital immediately after lunch.

When Xie Qingtai was thinking about this matter, Director Liang was also feeling emotional, talking about some experts in the industry calling for the protection of ancient towns in China in recent years, and Wuzhen, which has a history of thousands of years, is one of them. The city government has actually noticed, but it is a pity that it is powerless.

The problem is simple, no money.

These days, lack of funds makes it impossible to talk about anything.

When Director Liang sighed with emotion, when he heard Chu Lin accidentally say that they were actually a team under Jinshu, he immediately regained his spirits.

Jinshu is building a large-scale film and television city in the western suburbs of Suzhou. It is an investment of billions of RMB. This is well known throughout the country. If... even a little bit is leaked, it will be enough for this side to use.

So the attitude was inevitably more cordial, and they deliberately talked more about this topic. Director Liang quickly asked, can Xie Qingtai help introduce Jinshu's senior management.

Xie Qingtai naturally declined.

Director Liang is not in a hurry, there is no plan here, it is really too abrupt to come to the door rashly.

It's better to go back and discuss with the leader first to make a plan.

In fact, Director Liang often has the idea of ​​doing something when he sees the hometown in his childhood memory fading away.

Now, maybe it's my chance.

After lunch, Director Liang left his contact information and once again told Xie Qingtai and others to contact him if they had any questions, before leaving in a hurry.

After sending Liang Zhiyu away, Xie Qingtai did not immediately start work in the afternoon, but returned to her residence, first contacted Guan Yinan from Jinshu, and reported on all the things she had seen and heard this morning, and also talked about the thoughts of her small team, and the last Importantly, switching between towns avoids some potentially awkward thoughts.

The main reason is that the budget will definitely increase if the location is changed for filming.

This requires Jinshu's approval.

In the end, Xie Qingtai also simply asked whether the team could be transferred to Tongxiang or Jiaxing urban areas. The conditions there are better in all aspects, and naturally they can retain more people. As for the small courtyards in Wuzhen, people were reluctant to invest too much money in renovations at the beginning, but they really didn’t want to live for too long from the bottom of their hearts.
