Volume 8 Final Chapter Chapter 1164 Becoming an Immortal
Chen Wenxi's little matter did not cause any waves, and Ye Qi could easily handle it without Nan Yi's intervention.
As time went on, Nan Yi had to juggle many things and pay attention to all the ongoing projects. Now, he found Huang Saner, who was about to become an immortal and whom he hadn't seen for a while.
Huang Saner opened the Feilong Bowling Alley before bowling became popular, and sold it in 2002 before the popularity of bowling died down. She made a lot of money all together. After that, she did nothing serious but just ran the restaurant "Te Huang" which didn't make any money at all.
Last year, when she heard that Nan Yi was going to retire, she followed suit and retired from the city to the countryside, where she set up a farm next to the Miyun Reservoir and named it Tuhuang.
The area of the ochre is not large, only about ten acres. The whole area is surrounded by a circle of short pyracantha that serves as a fence. Facing south, there is an awkward door.
Just as Nan Yi walked to the door, it creaked open and Huang Saner, dressed in a gray and white Buddhist monk's uniform, walked out. He raised his hand with a rosary and clasped his hands together towards Nan Yi, "Amitabha, I am so sorry that you have come to meet me. Thank you, thank you."
"After watching a few episodes of Journey to the West, you pretended to be a Buddhist. Well, you will become a Buddhist if you pretend. In a while, you can pretend to be a lama, call all your devout brothers and sisters, and go to my place to ask for the best Dzi beads. They cost 180 million per string, no discount."
"Master Nan, when did you start playing with Dzi beads?"
"When I was playing with Tibetan mastiffs, I got some of them by the way. You know what, this thing has really caught the attention of people and has been hyped up. When the price goes up a bit, you can help me sell it to the dealer behind and give him a big discount." Nan Yi said as he stepped over the barbarian gate and walked into the yard, where he saw chickens, ducks and geese running all over the ground.
Huang Saner followed, "Not going to be the banker?"
"It's not worth it if you can't make much money." Nan Yi turned his head and said, "I'm not here to talk about Dzi beads with you today. I have a new business."
"I'll make some tea."
Huang Saner took Nan Yi to a bamboo pavilion imitating the Dai style and brewed two purple clay pots of Pu'er tea.
Nan Yi talked for most of the day, informing Huang Saner about the Lihuamao live broadcast project and introducing her to the concept of a live broadcast guild. Finally, they decided that they would jointly set up a live broadcast guild called "Ingrid Xu". He also gave a general explanation of how Ingrid Xu should be operated.
"Ingrid Xu, a very important department is the legal department. When signing a contract with a broadcaster, we must ask the other party to invite a lawyer to be present. Our legal department will explain every clause of the contract to the broadcaster and make sure they understand it clearly to ensure that they sign the contract with full understanding of all conditions.
The entire signing process was recorded. We kept one copy of the video, gave one copy to the anchor, and uploaded one copy to a third-party video website. The entire uploading process was also recorded, and special attention should be paid to clearly recording the upload date. Another thing is to bring in a notary office to notarize the contract.”
Nan Yi took a sip of tea and continued, "Young people nowadays are incredible, they have many tricks up their sleeves. Once they become famous and can make money, they will start to cause trouble. There is nothing else to worry about, but I am afraid that they will not know the seriousness of the matter, play the victim, and incite their fans to cause trouble.
Compared to us, they will be actively classified as a vulnerable group, and public opinion will be one-sided. Young people are full of youth and passion, and when they hear something that fits their way of thinking, they think they have grasped the truth. They don’t understand that they are just tools being coerced and used by others, who only want to kill them and not bury them. Don’t mess with them.”
Huang Saner smacked his lips and said, "Master Nan, aren't you being inconsistent?"
"What's the contradiction?"
"Just as I praised them for their cunning ways, I immediately called them stupid."
Nan Yi put down the purple clay teapot in his hand and said, "Cunning minds and ignorance are not contradictory. An ignorant outlook on life means being clever in everything. Don't analyze it too much. When you have more contact with it, you will have your own feelings. Let's get back to business .
The second is the image department, which is responsible for creating and managing the image of the anchor, which is divided into internal image and external image.
The inner image is the way of speaking. We should give more training classes to the anchors so that they can master the skills of speaking and understand what topics cannot be discussed in the live broadcast room. Things that should not be said must not be said, no matter how much they want to express themselves.
External image refers to looks. The tabby cat will research a technology that can make people look beautiful in live broadcasts. Those who only have a three or four-point appearance in real life can reach a six or seven-point appearance during live broadcasts. With a good foundation, the added effect will be better.
Some anchors have flaws in their faces and bodies, but if they have the potential to become popular, we need to work on them, including fitness and body shaping, and plastic surgery. Especially for plastic surgery, we need to connect with third-party plastic surgery institutions, and we can get kickbacks from them.”
Nan Yi paused, "Speaking of plastic surgery, there is one thing I want to tell you in advance. When Yinggri Xu starts running, you pick an obedient anchor who has undergone plastic surgery. I will have someone connect with him and push him into the film and television industry. He will appear on variety shows and participate in filming, and make him a 'star'.
In this way, Yingli Xu can attract more female members to join, and the contract benefits can be lowered, so our profits can be higher. "
"Master Nan, Ingrid Xu is also an artist manager?"
Nan Yi waved his hand, "No, we will only push them into the film and television industry. How they develop in the future is up to the anchors themselves. It would be best if we could quietly encourage them to build up their ambitions, let them pay to buy out their contracts with us, and then enjoy the joy of being free as the sky is high."
Huang Saner took a breath and said, "Master Nan, you are going to squeeze them dry."
“That’s what I meant, but I can’t say it so harshly. For most people at the bottom who want to be stars, appearing on variety shows or playing a role in a drama is a dream that they will never realize in their lifetime.
We allowed them to reach the top overnight and squeeze into the circle of celebrities, but they themselves are unable to move forward. This cannot be blamed on us, it only shows that they are not capable of this job.
To get an opportunity, you always have to pay a price. In short, we have to be careful in this step. In terms of public opinion, we must be the disadvantaged group. We worked hard to train people, but they have gone to climb higher branches...
Ah, by the way, Ingrid Xu, the person standing in front of the stage should preferably be a woman, not someone like you, who is obviously not a good person at first glance. You should look a little weaker, practice your crying skills, and let the tears come easily, so that people will feel pity for you even though they know that you are wrong, but they will not blame you too much. "
"Uncle Nan, if I weren't already a Buddhist, I would really like to have a good argument with you. Why do I look like a useless person?" Huang Saner said indignantly.
"Okay, I told you to stop pretending. Who would get a big tattoo on their arm? Who would drive a Harley to blast the streets?"
