The old man had never taken the initiative to invite Xu Yun to meet him during his stay in Qingdao. However, on this sunny afternoon, he found Little Dongbei. "Help me contact Xu Yun. I want to treat him to a cup of tea. I've disturbed him for so long. I'll feel bad if I don't express my gratitude."
Little Dongbei was stunned. He really couldn't believe that the old man could be so sensible.
"This matter … let's just forget about it." Although Little Dongbei felt that the old man's proposal was good, he still rejected him. "The company has just started work. Brother Yun must be very busy."
"No matter how busy he is, he can still spare an hour." The old man said, "Tell him that if he doesn't listen to me, he'll definitely regret it."
Little Dongbei shook his head helplessly. This old man just liked to be mysterious. He made things so mysterious.
"This is not a small matter." The old man emphasized, "You'd better pay more attention."
"Okay, I'm convinced." Little Dongbei said, "Actually, you should have thanked him earlier. You should have invited him earlier. Why did you have to wait until he went to work …"
"No matter when I invite him, he'll be happy to show up immediately," the old man said confidently.
Little Dongbei grinned. "That's what you said. If he doesn't have time, don't blame me."
The old man nodded. "You can go and find him. Tell him in person that I invited him and see how he reacts."
Little Dongbei snorted. "I'll just make a phone call."
"No one will pick up." The old man smiled.
The movie hotel and the movie building were only separated by a road, so the old man could clearly see everything in the opposite office building.
There were so many luxury cars parked there this morning. Obviously, they couldn't be ordinary employees. There must be some kind of meeting. That was why so many people came.
Now that these cars hadn't left, it meant that the meeting wasn't over yet. Xu Yun's phone might still be in the hands of his secretary. Even if the call was connected, it wouldn't be from him. If it was in his hands, it would definitely be on silent.
After Little Dongbei made the call, he felt that the old man was even more mysterious. His words were spot on.
But no one picked up the phone.
"How do you know everything?" Little Dongbei found it unbelievable.
"Go now. Maybe you'll run into him. Tell him what I said," the old man said.
Little Dongbei went to the office building with a stomach full of doubts. It was 3: 30 pm when he arrived.
The secretary stopped him and said that President Xu and the others were in a meeting. The meeting was very important and related to the development of Sky Entertainment in the new year, so they couldn't be disturbed.
Little Dongbei didn't mind. He really wanted to go back and ask his old man why he didn't calculate correctly this time.
What a slap in the face!
However, just as Little Northeast was about to turn around and leave, there was a commotion in the conference room. It was time for a break.
Little Dongbei was stunned. He looked at the time. This old man was really accurate. Even the time was taken into account. Not bad at all.
Xu Yun and the others quickly walked out of the conference room.
Ruan Qingshuang's eyes were sharp. She immediately saw Little Dongbei. "Bai Liang, why are you here?"
"I'm here to talk to Brother Yun about something." Little Dongbei chuckled.
Zuo Meiyan glanced at him. "Kid, today's meeting is related to Sky Entertainment. If you have something to say, say it later."
It had to be said that Zuo Meiyan's intuition was very accurate. She immediately knew what was going on. She really didn't want anything from the outside world to disturb Xu Yun.
Today's meeting was very important. So many people were present. They were going to discuss the future of the entire entertainment industry.
In this era of big IP, how to make money was very important.
Perhaps many people didn't know what IP was. It was actually Artificial Intelligence. It was intellectual property and a golden signboard.
Entertainment programs like "The Voice of Hua Xia," "Where's Daddy?" and "Running Brothers" that were imported from satellite IP were all purchased from overseas.
Movies that blew up theaters and TV series that dominated ratings were all adaptations of IP.
Over the years, everyone knew that in the entertainment industry, grabbing IP was more important than grabbing actors. It was also important to get a super IP that had already formed a huge fan circle. Whatever sky-high advertising or superstar appearance fees were not a problem.
In the past year, the entire world had witnessed the huge benefits of changing the scriptwriter of the novel.
Grave diggers, sword immortals, fantasy novels, modern romance novels, ancient black-bellied and scheming novels, all kinds of adaptations of web novels have appeared on the screen. I believe everyone knows what each genre is. Grave diggers, Thousand Bones, Ancient Sword, He He, Langya … and so on.
This would ignite the explosive growth of novel IP dramas in the new year. This would definitely cause a blowout.
But now, there was a new situation. The number of IP dramas kept increasing, but the audience's attention was getting lower and lower. The viewership ratings were also starting to drop. This would result in a cold situation.
But there must be a reason for the cold.
Although homogeneity was the biggest reason for the audience's immunity, it could not be used as an excuse.
At the end of the day, a good IP was only one aspect. Once the concept and mode were in hand, it was more important to know how to play.
For example, the NBA and CBA were just like the All-Star Game. The Americans really knew how to play. Not only did they turn the All-Star Weekend into an entertainment reality show, but they also turned the game into an international game against the Americans. This could attract people from all over the world.
And they were not afraid of people copying them. So what if the concept of the game could be copied? How could strong celebrities and cultural traditions be copied?
Then look at Hua Xia's CBA. What kind of game was that? Other than people who really loved basketball to the point that they could not live without it, who would watch it?
The Americans were different. They played across industries and directly integrated the entertainment industry.
This was how the Americans knew how to play. They knew better than Hua Xia how to maximize the benefits of this IP.
Just look at the Marvel superhero series. How much money did it make? Who in the world did not know about Spiderman? Who did not know about Iron Man? Those superheroes could not be counted with one's toes. They were all IPs that could make a lot of money.
Today's meeting had experts specially invited from the United States. That was why Zuo Meiyan did not want Xu Yun to leave the meeting.
Because of Zuo Meiyan's interruption, Little Dongbei was at a loss.
"I …" Little Dongbei wanted to say something but stopped.
"Say it. It won't take long to say something." Xu Yun stepped forward and said. He had listened to the contents of the meeting very carefully and was also very shocked by the foreigners' views.
Now, he was also very interested in the meeting. He would not leave because of a small matter.
But since Little Dongbei had come here, the matter must be more important. Otherwise, he would not have come to tell him.
Zuo Meiyan had a guess in her heart. She guessed that the old man was going to leave. That was why Little Dongbei came to tell him. It was very likely to be about this.
But now, Little Dongbei found it hard to speak. "Brother Yun … this … your meeting is very important. I … I don't think I should say it."
"You're here." Xu Yun glanced at Little Dongbei. "What do you mean by not saying it?"
Little Dongbei scratched his head helplessly. "It's the old man. He asked me to invite you over. He … he invited you to have tea."
Xu Yun was stunned.
"I already told him that you don't have time. There are too many things to do after work." Little Dongbei hurriedly said, "Since you're in a meeting now, I don't want to delay your work."
When Zuo Meiyan heard this, she immediately said, "That's right. Go back and tell your old man that he will go over immediately after the meeting."
It was not that Zuo Meiyan did not want to give him face, but she knew Xu Yun too well. So she knew that if she did not stop him, Xu Yun would definitely go.
In fact, even if she stopped him, as long as Xu Yun felt that he should go, he would still go.
