Chapter 435 Three Sponsors
There are no secrets in the small circle of script killing.
Before dawn, the boxed emotional book "Meet Again" jointly produced by Galaxy Script Agency and JC was of such high quality that several big stores in Peiping almost got into a fight over the copy. The news spread along the network cable to everyone. In the ears of a well-informed person.
The news can be spread along the network cable to the ears of stores all over the world, and naturally it can also be spread to the ears of the organizer who lives in the exhibition hotel.
There are three organizers of this autumn exhibition, all of which are well-known old publishers, namely Jingjing, Guoguan and S Company.
Among them, Guo Guan and S Club are both long-established distributors and long-established stores. They are the real industry veterans. The Autumn Exhibition was founded by these two stores.
In the earliest days, there was no fixed Spring and Autumn Exhibition at all. At that time, the script writing industry was still in its infancy. There were no fixed authors, and there were no so-called distribution studios dedicated to writing scripts. The store owner basically writes the scripts himself, or hires a few writers to write them specifically for his store. Once they are written, they open them in his own store.
Seven or eight or ten merchants who know each other find a time to get together to communicate and sell each other, which is considered a small exhibition.
Guo Guan and S Club came out step by step from this kind of grass-roots team period. They were truly started from scratch, and they were even more inspiring than JC.
After all, by the time Jiang Jun and Cao Luoping entered the industry, both families had already organized autumn exhibitions.
Jingjing Studio is different. It is a pure distribution company and does not open a store. The boss is a script-writing enthusiast with some spare money. After visiting an exhibition out of boredom, he discovered a business opportunity. When he returned home, he set up a studio and recruited a group of writers to start writing scripts. Not only did he support the writers himself, he also advertised in the market to earn money.
Because it was established early enough, Jingjing relied on its short-term monopoly to collect a lot of good books, and in a short period of time it became a major publisher like Guo Guan and S Company.
This year is Jingjing’s first time to participate in the Motherboard Autumn Show.
When Jiang Qi participated in the Autumn Exhibition for the first time, Jiang Jun introduced to him that the exhibition was a big stage for fighting, and anyone could start a fight if they wanted to.
The store and the store are torn apart, the store and the publisher are torn apart, the publisher and the author are torn apart, the publisher and the publisher are torn apart.
It is not difficult to see from this chain of quarrels that distribution is the most capable of quarrels. If conditions did not allow it, distribution might be able to quarrel with customers.
Just as it is difficult for stores to live in perfect harmony, it is also impossible for publishers to live in harmony. Even the three organizers are peaceful on the surface, but there is a turbulent undercurrent behind the scenes.
Speaking of which, the three organizers of this autumn exhibition are very interesting in themselves.
The well-known author Mr. S is the founder of the well-known store and publisher S. He can be regarded as the veteran of the entire script killing circle, but he is not the real boss of S.
A few years ago, when Mr. S was still very talented and the script-killing industry was not as profitable as it was later, the unlucky Mr. Shen was cheated by rich and evil capitalists because he was short of money. He didn't read the contract carefully and sold most of his shares in S Company and the copyright of his previous works at a low price.
As a result, although he is the founder of S Company and a veteran of the industry, he is still essentially a wage earner.
Mr. Shen, who was once bitten by a snake and has been afraid of ropes for ten years, is probably the practitioner who signs contracts most carefully and enjoys signing contracts in the entire script killing circle.
This is not the case with Miss Qiuqiu, the owner of Guo Guan. Her pen name is Qiuqiu and her surname is said to be Feng.
Miss Feng and Mr. Shen are both self-made leaders, but Miss Feng is not short of money, and she is a law student and is well versed in the loopholes in various contracts. There is no way she would foolishly sign a contract and sell most of her wealth to others cheaply. matter.
Guo Can has developed well under the management of Ms. Feng. Now, like Mr. Shen, Ms. Feng has basically stopped writing. Guo Can has cultivated a large number of authors, each of whom was brought out by Ms. Feng. There is a steady stream of authors every year. The continuous output can be regarded as a high-quality issue with good prospects.
Jingjing has been introduced before, pure distribution, the boss’s full name is Li Jingjing, a rising star playing monopoly, the boss is a rich amateur. This time Jingjing was able to participate in the hosting of the Autumn Exhibition because the organizer had money and spent money on it.
As for why Jingjing spent money on the organizer, it wasn't because of Boss Li's love for the Autumn Exhibition. It was entirely to expand her influence and facilitate sales the next year.
It is said that Jingjing is currently negotiating the copyright and intends to turn the well-known script in her hands into animation and film.
Due to attitude issues, Boss Shen naturally dislikes Jingjing’s Boss Li. He was deceived by a wealthy layman capitalist, and Boss Li was the most famous capitalist in the distribution circle. No matter whether Boss Li had done anything similar or not, Boss Shen naturally disliked him.
In Boss Shen's view, Jingjing is a pure cancer in the industry. The script-killing industry has been in recession for the past two years because of this industry cancer.
Boss Feng, a self-made man like himself, can best understand his feelings. He and Boss Feng are naturally in the same camp.
The above is everyone’s opinion of Boss Shen.
As for Boss Feng?
If Boss Feng knew what Boss Shen was thinking, he would probably tell him that you really think too much, and I don’t look down on idiots like you.
Boss Feng, who had been having a smooth journey, felt that Boss Shen would be a fool to sign and sell all his copyrights and store to others at a low price.
Not to mention that Boss Shen's money-making behavior in the past two years made her look down on him very much.
Whether it's a lion opening its mouth, a producer takes 20% of the profit.
It is better to sell books in packages. If you want to buy good books produced by him, you must package and buy all the bad books that cannot be sold.
Or maybe they tear up the contract and clearly agree to license the city limit to this store, but after the other store promises more benefits, they turn around and tear up the contract.
In the opinion of Boss Feng, these behaviors are all harmful behaviors in the industry that are self-conscious of the grave.
Who do you think you are? The boss of the script industry? Is this industry going to stop changing without you or what?
No wonder he sold himself out of a contract, suffered such a huge loss and still didn't learn his lesson. He is still legally illiterate to this day.
How could the script-killing industry get better with people like this?
The downturn in the industry in the past two years is all due to this cancer!
As for Boss Li...
Boss Li said that he didn't care what the other two bosses thought of him. It was funny that the script-killing industry was about to die out and he didn't quickly find a way out. He was still fighting over this three-thirds of an acre of land.
Didn’t you see that the bosses of Galaxy Script Agency have gone to open theme parks?
But having said that, why did the Galaxy script say that Boss Jiang suddenly came over to participate in the exhibition? Is it because the script is killing the industry again?
When he woke up, Boss Li was thinking about the news of "Meet Again" while having breakfast.
Boss Feng, who had not stayed up late for a long time and had gotten up early, was checking his cell phone while thinking about whether he should ask Jiang Jun for help and ask Jiang Qi to have dinner at night.
I had already read "Meet Again" when I stayed up late to read the book. I had to get up early because I had a video conference in the morning. I only slept for three hours in total. I was in a bad mood because of lack of sleep and accidentally saw a group chat discussing "" Boss Shen who revealed whether "We Meet Again" will be a big hit next year:...
The angry Boss Shen started to curse and eat his breakfast.
Boss Shen's assistant quietly rolled his eyes and took out his mobile phone to send a message to a friend to complain.
[That person is going crazy again (rolling eyes) (rolling eyes) (rolling eyes)]
There are no secrets in the script killing world.
.
"Boss Shen is scolding you."
In the coffee shop, Jiang Cha, who was having breakfast, conveyed Boss Shen's crazy literature concisely and concisely.
Jiang Qi with his mouth full of sandwiches:?
Jiang Qi chewed hard for a few times and swallowed. He couldn't wait to speak, but because the sandwich was too dry, he had to drink two mouthfuls of water to relieve it.
By the time he completed the above action, Jiang Cha had already finished a new melon: "Boss Feng from Guo Guan is sending a message to Jiang Jun, inviting you to have dinner together tonight."
Jiang Qi was not interested in eating: "Why did Boss Shen scold me? I've never seen him? Who is he?"
Jiang Cha: "...Mr. S."
"...Oh, then he can scold him if he wants to."
The only people who chose to come to the cafe to eat in the morning were Jiang Cha and Jiang Qi. The group of night owls in JC were still sleeping and didn’t get up. Principal Peggy heard that the bean juice in Peiping was very special and insisted on trying it. She took the bus early in the morning and followed the navigation guide. Went to a breakfast restaurant where Douzhi is said to be very authentic and enjoyed an authentic Peiping breakfast.
"Aren't you interested in how he scolded you?" Jiang Cha asked.
Jiang Qi continued to eat the dry sandwich and made up his mind to never come to this cafe again. The sandwich was so delicious, expensive and terrible!
"How else can you scold me? It's just that I stole his resources, his limelight, and his publicity position." Jiang Qi said calmly.
"That's not true." Jiang Cha took a sip of black tea, "He was scolding that the script-killing industry was ruined by damn capitalists like you."
Jiang Qi:?
Do you blame me for the downturn in the industry?
You yourself first forced the sale, and then you got a 20% profit as a producer, and you still have the nerve to blame me for ruining the industry.
"Does he hate rich people?" Jiang Qi asked sincerely.
Jiang Cha thought for a moment: "The story is a bit complicated. I heard several different versions last night. Do you want me to tell you all about it?"
Jiang Cha felt that this exhibition was really the right time. In the amusement park, there was basically no gossip after 12 o'clock, and everyone was asleep at this time.
But this place is different. After 12 o'clock, everything is full of melons, and it's hard to eat. Jiang Cha was very busy last night.
An hour later, Jiang Cha told Jiang Qi what she had heard about the love and hatred of the three organizers.
Jiang Qi has already eaten his new fruit salad.
Although the sandwiches in this cafe are terrible, the fruit salad is pretty good and fresh. Jiang Qi can come and sit here if he feels bored.
"But there's one thing I don't quite understand."
After listening to Boss Shen's tragic story, Jiang Qi felt that although Boss Shen looked like he had a villain script, he actually had a tragic villain script.
He is the kind of murderer who is a murderer in TV dramas, but has a tragic past.
The only thing he didn't understand was that the murderer's tragic past was not enough to motivate him to kill.
"I can understand that Boss Shen hates capitalists like me. After all, he was cheated so miserably by capitalists. It is normal for him to hate Wujiwu and hate all capitalists."
"But why doesn't he just resign and start over?" Jiang Qi felt that Boss Shen was fully capable of starting over.
His success may be partly due to luck, but it is not entirely due to luck.
When Boss Shen opened the store, he ran the store and wrote the script. Jiang Jun also affirmed that Mr. S had produced many good scripts in the early years. If Mr. S was worth 20% of the profit during his peak period, this would be enough to prove that Boss Shen himself is talented and capable.
Being deceived by the capitalists, you are obviously capable, but you don't change jobs or work alone, but you still work for the capitalists. What kind of resentment is this?
"Who knows? Maybe the sunk costs are too high." Jiang Cha shook her head and said that she could only hear the gossip from others and see the gossip in their mobile phone messages, but could not directly see what Boss Shen was thinking.
"Perhaps in his view, starting over is a risky thing. He doesn't believe that he has missed the best period of opportunity and can achieve the original glory by starting over."
"Besides, he is not completely reduced to a wage earner now. His current boss left him a part of the shares and did not force him to death. It's just that the current boss took most of the shares."
"What he sold was just the copyright he originally owned. If he can produce new works, the copyright of the new works still belongs to him. Maybe he felt that starting a separate business would not be better than now, so he held his breath. Keep working for the boss.”
"It's also possible that he thought that he would wait until he wrote better works and earned enough capital before starting his own business. But I don't know why he hasn't been able to write satisfactory and good works in the past few years. As a result, he has never saved enough capital, which is vicious. The cycle becomes like this.”
Jiang Qi nodded, thinking that both were possible. Anyway, Boss Shen probably had some problems with his mentality now.
After suffering such a blow in life, and having Boss Feng next door as a control group, I can't explain it without feeling twisted.
It's safer to stay away from him.
"But..." Jiang Qi took a bite of the fruit, "He doesn't have the right to scold a capitalist like me, right? He himself isn't much better. Wasn't he the first to do such bad things as forced buying and selling? I heard other stores scold me when I ran the Autumn Fair two years ago, and I wouldn't do such a thing."
"Our amusement park never buys or sells by force. We only sell limited quantities and draw blind boxes."
Jiang Cha: "...Is it possible that because he is not the boss, the decision-making power is not in his hands."
"But the real boss of Company S never came forward, so everyone subconsciously ignored that he was also a worker, and habitually just scolded him."
Jiang Qi:......
I don't know why, but I suddenly started to sympathize with Boss Shen.
What a pure grudge.
Still in a bad mental state.
"Let's stay away from him. After the exhibition starts, if you meet Boss Shen next door in the exhibition hall below, don't talk to him unless you can." Jiang Qi warned.
Jiang Cha nodded: "Will you go to Boss Feng's invitation tonight?"
"Go, why don't you go if someone invites you to dinner?" Jiang Qi said calmly.
"Compared to Boss Shen, Boss Feng is so normal. He still has brains and understands the law. The organizer must cherish this kind of thing."
