Chinese entertainment for engineering students

"Brother Wang, will the music festival be held next year?" The caller was Wang Xiaojing. He and Wang Xu started their cooperation at the earliest, and later Lao Cui's new album was recorded at Wang Xu's place.

The price given to him by Wang Xu has always been a preferential price. Wang Xiaojing quickly discovered his advantages, and then expanded his brokerage business and soon expanded to organizing various performances in the imperial capital of Hebei Province. Now he In the performance market, he can also be regarded as a prince.

Moreover, he quickly learned the studio system established by Wang Xu, and set up his own studio for Lao Cui and Compass, which greatly increased the income of both bands, and he himself could free up more energy. to expand operations.

Now he has more than ten signed singers, many of whom are now famous singers and producers. At the Imperial Music Festival, he even competed with Wang Chao.

But he knew very well that Wang Xu could not focus all his energy on singers. Wang Chao's future must be a comprehensive entertainment group, and it was obvious that Wang Xu was more interested in the proliferation of technology rather than monopolizing artists.

This is easy to handle. I can only say that Brother Wang is benevolent. He obviously has top strength, but he did not expand wildly. Instead, he supported various other enterprises, and he received preferential treatment.

"Okay, what's the matter? But that happened in the summer. It's still more than half a year away. Why are you asking now?" Wang Xu was a little surprised. The music festival was the big party held to bid farewell to Wang Fei. Body inheritance.

The next year, when it was about the same time, everyone would call and ask. Wang Xu knew that Wang Fei also liked this, so he organized it again. Since there was no excuse for farewell and welcome, he simply made a music festival. name.

This thing, Wang Xu discussed with the above, and finally it was a cooperation with the Imperial City Government. The first party was defined as the party that was inadvertently formed to bid farewell to Wang Fei. It was considered an attempt by the private sector to move towards the mainstream.

With the official name, more people came during the second session. This was an era when mainland China began to gradually change its thinking. Various official media have gradually begun to accept various underground music.

This music festival is obviously an obvious signal released by the government, which means that many bands that have been difficult to gain recognition in the past can step onto a larger stage and be officially reported.

But to be precise, this music festival is still private, and the official is only responsible for coordinating the venue and maintaining public order. If something goes wrong, the official is not responsible for covering up.

It doesn't matter. People are very bold these days. As long as there is no prohibition, you can do it. What's more, there is such tacit approval, so there is no need to worry about it.

Wang Jinghua, Wang Xiaojing, and a series of new and old music companies in the Imperial Capital all learned of the news. The Imperial Music Festival, led by Wang Chao and jointly organized by more than a dozen music institutions and companies, was officially launched.

With so many people saying they wanted to come, the small courtyard was obviously not enough, not to mention that the foundations were being dug to build a new building at that time. Wang Xu simply moved to the factory at 798, rented a large cargo yard as a venue, and hired factory militiamen as security guards to maintain law and order.

At this time, the Chinese police force is very small. Even in the imperial capital, a police station only has a few people or a dozen people, and it cannot handle so many things. This kind of large-scale event is particularly wasteful of police resources.

Therefore, Wang Xu had no choice but to do it himself. The police were responsible for training and the militia were responsible for maintaining order. They were also given a lot of tickets, which was regarded as a welfare for the factory.

This kind of music festival is basically not for profit. It is mainly a venue for self-expression, so all music companies have to donate money.

At that time, Wang Chao made a lot of money from clothing, but he was not as wealthy as he would be later. Therefore, he was only one of the donors, and Wang Chao became more of an excuse.

The second session was held in a hurry and lasted only one night. The venue was not big enough, so we only organized a large stage and two small stages. The concert lasted until midnight, and it almost affected people's work the next day before the concert ended.

But it can definitely be called a very successful music event. Not only the famous rock bands from the Imperial Capital, but also several bands from the south came all the way to participate. Thousands of music lovers from the Imperial Capital gathered. The on-site effect was really shocking.

The third one was held this year. Wang Xu was filming a movie at that time and had no time to participate, so it was Wang Xiaojing and Wang Jinghua who prepared it. Wang Xu didn't even participate, but Wang Fei attended and sang a few songs. Rock music, played by Compass, we played crazy until very late and didn't go home.

Last year, the venue was a bit small, and a few thousand people made the neighbors uneasy. So during the third term, the Imperial City Government and the directly-administered district government simply designated an open space near the 798 Factory, which later became the In order to use the area left for the expansion of Chaoyang Park, it was temporarily lent to Wang Xu and the others.

Now that we have a place, the funds are obviously more abundant than last year, so this time we followed the West and built five stages, large and small. It's just that it's still one day, to be exact, it's an afternoon and an evening. It's even more unreliable to expect the rock band to get up early than to expect them not to fight.

In any case, it was a success again this time. Well, it must have been a success. There was no admission fee, and tens of thousands of young people from nearby came to watch the fun.

The biggest difference this time is that Imperial TV Station specially recorded a series of programs, and finally made a documentary series called Rock Power that was broadcast on Imperial Station, which completely made the Imperial Music Festival famous.

But the problem is, it has only been two months, why is Wang Xiaojing so anxious to hold the next show?

"What's wrong? When is this? Even the preparations didn't start from now." Wang Xu asked directly.

"Don't you know? Rumors in the rock circle are going crazy, saying that the higher-ups are going to ban it." Wang Xiaojing is obviously a little anxious. Although this music festival is in the name of Wang Chao, several of his singers have performed well at the music festival. Being in the limelight, I don’t know how many more records I sold.

After all, rock music is a niche. As long as they make some intense music, pop singers are more attractive.

"I haven't heard of it. Who told it?" Wang Xu was puzzled. If there was news, Director Jiang must have told him long ago. How could he know it later than the outside world.

"I don't know who first spread the news, but now it's spread all over the underground rock circle. Didn't you really hear the news?" When Wang Xiaojing heard that Wang Xu didn't know the news, she understood that it must be an error, and her speech returned to normal. .

This kind of thing is not uncommon. There must be all kinds of things that are circulated in private. Absurd words and stereotypes are not enough to describe it. It is normal to go in the opposite direction.

"I haven't heard of it. It's best to find someone to find out who spread it. This rumor is a bit abnormal. You also come forward and tell those bands to stop. Don't listen to the wind. There will be a lot of big things next year. I don't expect their help. , just don't cause trouble and hold back." Wang Xu thought for a while and asked Wang Xiaojing to step in and suppress it. He would definitely talk to Director Jiang as well. This rumor made him feel very abnormal.

As an organizer, I received a lot of support from the higher authorities for this music festival, and a lot of openings were also made. It can be said that the policies have provided ample preferential treatment.

Any other person would not be able to do what he did. There are no small things in the cultural field. There were countless troubles in the Art Village in the past few years. Wang Xu has experienced all kinds of things in later generations. Those funds have caused trouble in China. The wind stirs up the rain.

Wang Xu really didn't dare to underestimate this matter.

Thinking about it, he quickly called Director Jiang. Director Jiang had always been his connection with the above, and this was how he had the sky where he could soar almost infinitely.

"Well, I'll contact you. Don't investigate this matter. Just be responsible for calming your emotions.

It’s not a big deal, there have been quite a lot recently. The World Trade Organization will be established next year, and we have been quite vocal recently. There are many countries that support us, and your GIT is indispensable.

The boss asked you why you have done so little recently? "Director Jiang is obviously in a good mood, and he seems to be imitating the boss's words.

"There haven't been many things happening recently. This movie has almost turned my little life upside down, and that MTV." Wang Xu quickly claimed the credit. Director Jiang and he can be said to be friends, and they talked very relaxedly. This was of course intentional. of.

Wang Xu understands, and Director Jiang also understands that everyone has always maintained a natural and close contact with each other tacitly.

“There’s no problem with the movie, just sell it.

MTV is quite interesting. I heard that some people will say that you are destroying the friendship between China and Japan. Some people have already taken the initiative to shout at various meetings. You are being scolded by your peers again. Director Jiang replied with a smile.

"Excuse me, don't bite me if I have too many lice, don't worry if I have too many debts, there are always some people who can't see others making money, it's just pink eye. What's the matter, can they still get me offline?"

"It's not a matter of going offline, but we are discussing new theater lines."

"It means that in terms of technology, you were not allowed to engage in several big projects in previous years. Why is there no activity this year." Director Jiang pointed out the topic.

"Oh, I'm still sorting it out. What I want to do now is a bit complicated. There may be too many departments and institutes that need to be organized. I don't know where to start." Wang Xu also felt a little emotional and complained to Director Jiang With.

The things inside the camera are much more exaggerated than the microphones and speakers. He only sorted out a small part of it, and it felt like his head was as big as two cents.

"Have you forgotten what country we are? We have to declare things for the next five-year plan soon, so won't you go through the normal channels?" Director Jiang reminded Wang Xu.

"That's right, okay, then I'll compile some materials and give them to you in a few days." Wang Xu shook his head after putting down the phone.

He is also in the dark, and is used to doing everything by himself, but he has forgotten his current status. He can already write technical plans directly for reference to the superiors, who need to ask for his opinions when formulating five-year plans.

He is receiving a special allowance now. Although this kind of thing will not be announced and even Wang Fei doesn't know about it, he knows it himself.

But he told the truth that he had never used this thing before. This kind of formal channel was impossible for him to have access to in his previous life. Too long life experience sometimes makes people form this kind of thinking misunderstanding and fall into You can't extricate yourself after entering.

In fact, starting this year, internationally renowned professors have begun to nominate Wang Xu to the Nobel Prize Committee, because he not only discovered graphene, but also led the laboratory to expand this field into a completely new field. scientific research track, and countless papers were born as a result.

Recognizing Wang Xu's status can consolidate the status of this emerging track. These are complementary things. International professors have been playing in this circle for so many years, and everyone understands it.

If the two people who discovered graphene in the previous life won the Nobel Prize four years later, the reason was that their achievements took time to show value, but in this life, Wang Xu's discovery has led a track from the beginning. Go for the purpose.

Later, he led the laboratory and published a series of papers, which completely established this direction.

However, they cannot delay it forever. They can still take the time to observe it at the beginning and wait until they see the value. If it takes too long, I am afraid that international opinions will affect the reputation of the Nobel Prize.

They even asked Wang Xu whether he wanted to receive the Nobel Prize as part of the deal, but Wang Xu refused. If they really didn't want to send it, then they wouldn't do it, and they didn't expect it to make a living.

After figuring it out, the following things will naturally be straightened out. On the technology side, Wang Xu now only has artificial intelligence, the expansion of the growth method, and some work in the condensed matter laboratory, that is, graphene. , Wang Xu began to let go of the rest.

Although there is no way to completely let go of some, such as the iteration of the core code of the operating system, the workload of this part is not large, and iteration every three months is enough.

The next big project is to get a camera. Although Wang Xu has already developed a camera, Brother Yuzhuo has begun to take advantage of the popularity of "The Matrix" to sell new cameras all over the world. By the way, there is also that aerial camera. The photography platform is also sold together.

Although this market is not big, it is not difficult to make hundreds of millions a year. After all, there are not many manufacturers here, and only a few traditional optical manufacturers are competing. Now Wang Xu sells high-end products, and Haiou has taken over the technology transfer. Produce some and sell them at the mid-to-low end.

It’s all about profits. If you can cut some leeks, then cut some.

But in the final analysis, Wang Xu knew that it was just a transitional thing. The fully digital giant-screen camera and the matching stereo camera were the complete thing.

But now the various chips inside are still far from being born. It is indeed difficult to do it by himself, but there are theories, methods, and even industrial manufacturing drawings, but he can't come up with them.

However, the optical equipment is not complicated. He has already used it on film cameras.

This is not something that can simply be explained by systems engineering. This is a big step forward for the entire industrial field, and may even affect the entire industrial system of China.

Therefore, his best method is not to draw all the drawings himself, but to divide the steps into steps, write specifications, set standards, and then hand them over to the superiors to organize scientific research and technical research.

Funds were the least important thing. The funds in Shuimu's patent pool had to flow. Otherwise, just the dividends that were allocated every year would scare people to death.

Wang Xu donated that money, along with the shares of the Monocrystal Copper Company, to the patent pool. This thing was of no use to him, and he didn't want to smelt copper.

He used to think about subsidizing scientific research through dividends, but later found out that the money he earned from scientific research was much higher than he imagined. After all, he was pretending to be scientific research with mature technology, not real scientific research.

As for the money for his own life, haha, unless Wang Xu's dream is to be an entrepreneur, become the richest man in China, the richest man in the world, etc., then money really doesn't mean much to him anymore.

This is Wang Xu's philosophy. Although Wang Jinghua and Senior Brother Yuzhuo have their own pursuits, they all follow the same pattern in the general direction. After relying on dividends to live a life without worries about food and clothing, they also began to pursue some more important things. High-level stuff.

For example, the right to speak in the industry, such as leadership status, etc., these things cannot be achieved by killing all peers.

Moreover, in Wang Xu's view, the life-and-death competition method is far from time. Perhaps the existing market competition should be like this, but what era is it now? It is in the ascendant, and the market has not yet taken shape.

Hurry up and work together to make things lively. This is the way to build an incremental market.

As for the so-called market leadership, it cannot be obtained by relying on crowd tactics. The entertainment market is a typical winner-takes-all market. Leading companies and top producers get most of the profits, and the remaining corners are countless. Then divide the bottom layer.

But Wang Xu also knows very well that as a top company, when you focus on big profits, you should leave a way for ordinary companies to survive and don't grab those market segments, otherwise you will end up in a stagnant water.

Later generations of Hollywood fell into such a strange cycle, relying on all kinds of big special effects. Later, big IPs went crazy to make money, and they did not forget to acquire small and medium-sized enterprises. As a result, the quality of the entire Hollywood declined. Newcomers did not have time to stand out, and the quality of films became worse and worse. The worse.

A movie on Wang Xu's side broke out, and the follow-up will be the second and third episodes immediately. The situation is already established and cannot be delayed even if it is wanted. "The Matrix" has become a big IP, and subsequent profits can be said to be just around the corner.

Therefore, at the beginning of next year, Wang Chao will have to undergo group transformation. The current scale needs to be more formal and have a management method that is more in line with its own strength.

Wang Jinghua, Senior Brother Yuzhuo, and even Tang Yun are all human beings and will have their own thoughts and desires.

Even if Wang Xu no longer wants to look like a high-ranking company, these companies that have already developed will evolve into that on their own.

And with the group, Wang Xu can completely withdraw. If he wants to play, he can make movies and records. If he doesn't want to play, he can just slap his butt and leave. Wouldn't it be beautiful?
