Chapter 172 Five-year-old daughter lives in a doghouse

In Penguin Pictures' plan, the new media module includes short video platforms, online movies and many other emerging media businesses.

Because Penguin Pictures has just entered the film and television market, its main goal at this stage is to take root in the traditional film and television industry.

So isn’t new media important?

Very important, this is a very popular module in the current market.

But that's the company's strategy.

As a film and television company, it makes sense for them to compete on the main battlefield.

But why did Shen Lang choose the new media module which is not the company’s main business direction?

Because he is a person.

As long as we are human, we have limited energy.

Movies and TV are very demanding.

Almost follow up throughout the process.

But new media is much less troublesome.

Because the model designed by Penguin for the new media module is a small studio system.

In other words, Shen Lang is only responsible for selecting the creative team.

The creative content will naturally be reviewed and promoted by employees under the module.

For example, on short video platforms, one person and a mobile phone can generate fan traffic that is no less than that of movies.

As a person in charge of part of the matter, Shen Lang will not and cannot follow up the entire process.

Therefore, his burden is much lighter than those of Wang Jian and Chen Wu.

In a word.

The top management doesn't care and the underlying operating model is loose.

Whether or not results can be achieved depends purely on the conscience of the department head.

A real sheep-herding department.

Shen Lang likes this kind of job where he can slack off the most.

what?
The annual salary is only three hundred thousand plus business commission?

Isn't it enough to have commission? Why do I need an annual salary?
Seeing that Shen Lang had made up his mind.

Tang Haibin and Wang Jian both looked disappointed.

They were very confident that Shen Lang would definitely choose the movie module.

Let’s not talk about his annual salary or anything like that, just say that as the person in charge of the film module, doesn’t he have the advantage over many other roles because he is close to them?

But Shen Lang unexpectedly chose new media.

"Well, since Teacher Shen has chosen the new media module, I wish Teacher Shen great success in his new job!" Tang Haibin's words sounded high-sounding, but the taste of disappointment could not be concealed.

After the meeting, Tang Haibin brought Shen Lang and Gu Jialan, Shen Teng and others who came to watch the fun to the work unit of the new media module.

When the employees of the new media department heard that their immediate superior was Shen Lang, they were all stunned.

The module is currently being managed temporarily by a deputy department head named Xin Lei.

Tang Haibin introduced: "Teacher Shen, this is Deputy Minister Xin!"

"Mr. Shen... Hello, Minister Shen!"

Xin Lei is a young man, probably only about thirty years old, and he felt a little awkward when he saw Shen Lang.

Tang Haibin smiled and said, "Xin Lei, please introduce your department to Minister Shen!"

Upon hearing this, Xin Lei adjusted his glasses and said, "Boss Tang, Director Shen, our module is responsible for the new media direction. The main operating model is to sign contracts with studios or individuals, and then provide them with financial, equipment, personnel and other support! Of course, the company will also get a commission from the income of the works in the end!"

Shen Lang nodded and smiled to his deputy, "Minister Xin, don't be nervous. I'm telling you in front of President Tang that I'm only responsible for selecting the team when I join our department. The other major tasks will still be completed by you!"

Upon hearing this, Xin Lei looked at Tang Haibin in surprise.

Tang Haibin smiled bitterly and said, "This is the content of the agreement signed by Mr. Shen and the company. Although he is not responsible for the specific work, he guarantees that our department's profit by the end of the year will reach 20 times that of last year!"

"Twenty times?" Xin Lei exclaimed, "Minister Shen, at the end of last year, our creative income commission was 5.4 million after tax?"

Five million four hundred thousand, that is to say twenty times is more than one hundred million. More than one hundred million!
This result can already be regarded as the income of a new media creation company of medium or larger size in the market.

And they...

Xin Lei turned his head and looked at the office area. Including the finance staff with independent accounting, there were only fourteen people, including himself.

"Minister Shen, excuse me for being blunt, but it is very difficult to achieve this result..." Xin Lei raised the question cautiously.

It’s not that he wants to make things difficult for his leader on his first day in office.

It is really……

This goal is simply a fantasy for them.

Shen Lang smiled and said, "I have learned about our department's information. Xin Lei, you have eight years of management experience in the short video team. In other words, when short videos first emerged, you were already a manager in this industry. Your management ability is beyond doubt!"

Xin Lei looked at Shen Lang in surprise. He didn't expect that this parachuted star minister actually knew his resume!
Shen Lang continued: "I also know that the main creative teams currently signed by our department are all dance anchors, right?"

“Dancing hosts are the most popular…”

Before Xin Lei finished his explanation, he was interrupted by Shen Lang: "I have watched the live broadcast of our contracted team!"

"Dancing anchor! To put it bluntly, it's hard to become popular without skirting the line. It's not a good project!"

Everyone...

Shen Teng joked, "Teacher Shen, are you going to shoot a borderline video? This is very risky. Are you ready to step on the sewing machine?"

Shen Lang shook his head: "Whether it's borderline or not, there are too many dancing hosts and the programs are highly homogenized. These are not good projects."

Xin Lei asked doubtfully, "What about Minister Shen's opinion?"

At this time, Shen Lang took out a stack of papers from his bag and handed it to Tang Haibin.

Tang Haibin asked in confusion: "Teacher Shen, this is..."

"script!"

Tang Haibin's eyes lit up: "Teacher Shen is going to shoot a web movie?"

Online movies, well, we will shoot them in the future, but for now it is better to do some short and quick projects to establish our reputation.

Shen Lang shook his head and said, "This is a short play script!"

Xin Lei asked in confusion: "Skip? What does that mean?"

"It's a short TV series with five-minute episodes and a minimum of 100 episodes!"

Tang Haibin immediately found it interesting: "Then how can this thing make money?"

“The first episode was released on the online platform to attract attention. Below the video, a short drama platform developed by the company was provided. After clicking to download, you can pay to watch it!”

Shen Lang's words immediately shocked everyone around him.

Damn, can money be made this way?
This is the first time I heard of it.

In fact, Shen Lang's approach has become a common operating mode in another world.

It’s a team of just a few people, and they don’t have high requirements for the actors’ fame, and some even have awkward acting skills.

But the plot must be exciting and down-to-earth.

Moreover, every episode is so exciting. No matter which episode people spend money to buy, they are little affected by the continuity of the plot. After watching for five minutes, all the fatigue from a day's work is eliminated by the exciting plot.

Tang Haibin opened the first page and saw five big characters written on it: "The Slant-Eyed Dragon King".

What the hell is this drama title?

Tang Haibin began to doubt whether inviting Shen Lang was the right decision.

His gaze moved downwards...

"God of War Long Hao returned home and found his wife dead and his five-year-old daughter living in a doghouse and eating slop."

"The God of War was furious, and with one order, 100,000 retired soldiers..."

Seeing this, Tang Haibin looked up at Shen Lang in a cold sweat.

Teacher Shen, is it too late to withdraw the contract now?
