Chapter 568 Egg Star

After returning to Shanghai from Jiangzhou on Monday, the entire summer vacation was basically over.

School started on September 1st.

Xu Ye sent Chen Qingqing and the others back to school one day in advance. Qin Zhiwei had completed all the credits, so he would go back to work after registering at school. On the way to school, Shen Xinyi and Jiang Yu hesitated for a long time and finally asked: "Xu Ye, there are not many courses in the senior year. Can Xinyi and I continue to work at YW?"

Xu Ye's answer was of course affirmative.

Jiang Yu and Shen Xinyi also made a lot of efforts to make the live broadcast room reach 500 to 600 traffic. Although they had no experience in this area, they actually got started much faster than expected. There were not many classes a week in the senior year, so Xu Ye had no reason to give these two jobs to others.

At noon the next day, Xu Ye received a picture sent by Chen Qingqing, which was their course schedule for this semester.

There were only six classes a week in total.

And they are basically non-compulsory courses, such as music analysis, music aesthetic psychology, ethnomusicology and traditional music theory...

Courses are basically concentrated in the morning, and there are no classes all day on Friday.

After seeing the picture, Xu Ye quickly replied: "You will go to class normally in the first two weeks of school. If other students don't go to class much, I will pick you up."

Chen Qingqing asked: "Are you still staying in the hotel?"

Xu Ye: "No, we will live in our new home."

Chen Qingqing: "Okay~"

Chen Qingqing: "/heart (emoticon)"

Xu Ye has a lot of things to do in September. His own company's things are okay, but mainly because YW's new product launch conference is scheduled to be held during the National Day, so many things have to be decided in September.

The 4th is Monday.

After Xu Ye arrived at YW in the afternoon, he held a monthly meeting.

After the executives of various departments arrived, Xu Ye quickly assigned them tasks to be completed this month.

"Let me repeat it again. Before the 10th, book the venue. Before the 15th, negotiate with the modeling company. Before the 20th, decide on the event plan and model selection. Before the 25th, find a stage company to prepare the event site. On the 29th, conduct the first rehearsal. On the 30th, conduct the second rehearsal. Any questions?"

"No."

Jiang Jiajia, the head of the marketing department, reminded: "Mr. Xu, Mr. Pei's original plan was to select an image spokesperson for our brand before our new product launch. This matter..."

"Have you decided on a candidate?"

"Not yet."

Xu Ye thought for a moment and said, "Then go contact Yang Mi's agent."

"Yang Mi? But... we don't even have contact information. Isn't it too late to contact her now?"

"Forget it, don't worry about it. I'll call her directly."

After listening to this, Jiang Jiajia nodded immediately.

She didn't doubt that Xu Ye had connections in this area.

After the meeting, Xu Ye returned to the office and sent a message to Yu Jiaying: "Sister Jiaying, are you busy?"

Yu Jiaying: "I'm watching TV with my sister-in-law. If you have something to say, please tell me. If you have something to say, please tell me."

Xu Ye: "YW is looking for an image spokesperson. Don't you know Yang Mi? She helped me promote the game some time ago. I think it doesn't matter who you choose as the spokesperson. You can contact her and ask her what she thinks."

Yu Jiaying: "Just this?"

Xu Ye: "Just this."

Yu Jiaying: "Wait."

Xu Ye smiled, put down his phone, and continued to do his own thing.

Half an hour later.

Yu Jiaying pushed Yang Mi's WeChat business card to Xu Ye, and replied with a message: "She agreed. You can discuss the details with her yourself."

Xu Ye replied OK, and when he was about to add her as a friend, the other party actually sent a friend request.

In the entertainment industry, many people want to curry favor with Yang Mi, who is so famous.

But if there is a relationship between Xu Ye and her, who needs to curry favor with whom, then it must be the latter who needs to curry favor with the former.

Yang Mi had long heard that Xu Ye was the investor behind the movie that broke the box office record in July. In other words, he not only has strong connections in the business circle, but also has certain resources in the film and television circle. As an artist who is active in both film and television, she would naturally not miss the opportunity to make friends with such a person.

What's more, endorsing domestic clothing brands is a matter of benefit to artists.

Xu Ye talked to her for about 20 minutes. In the end, Yang Mi not only gave a very conscientious endorsement price, but also agreed to appear on stage at the YW new product launch conference. The two parties happily reached a cooperation.

...

Ark Interactive Entertainment.

Human: Fall Flat is still updating the game at the speed of launching a new level every ten days.

The number of registrations on the platform has already exceeded one million without anyone noticing.

Although it cannot be compared with the popular games of companies like Penguin, NetEase, and Mihoyo, it does occupy a certain position in the game industry.

What Xu Ye didn't know yet was.

Before Human: Fall Flat was launched, Penguin wanted to benchmark Ark Interactive Entertainment and create a competitive product, but Xu Ye's game update speed was too fast, and the launch of Human: Fall Flat caught Penguin off guard.

Now the "Interactive Entertainment Business Group" under the company is discussing whether to continue to invest in the development of competitive projects or directly acquire Ark Interactive Entertainment, but for the time being, no conclusion can be reached.

Qin Zhiwei has gradually adapted to the company's rhythm. Although it is very tiring, it is quite fulfilling for him.

He now has a fixed schedule every day.

He gets up at 7:30 in the morning, sends Shen Xinyi to school first, then goes back to work, works overtime until 9:30 in the evening, and then goes to YW to pick up Shen Xinyi to go to the hotel, often falling asleep immediately.

On Thursday night, because Shen Xinyi has no classes tomorrow, she doesn't need to get up early to send her to school. After returning to the hotel, Qin Zhiwei took the initiative to knock on Xu Ye's hotel room door.

At this moment, Xu Ye and Chen Qingqing are sitting on the sofa selecting online shopping products. Because they are going to live in a new home soon, they have to buy some bedding and small furniture one by one.

Seeing Qin Zhiwei coming, Chen Qingqing quickly stood up and said, "It's just right for me to ask Xinyi and Jiang Yu."

As she spoke, Chen Qingqing went to the next room.

After Qin Zhiwei sat down, he asked directly without beating around the bush: "When can Ark Interactive Entertainment start to make a profit?"

"Why are you in such a hurry?"

"We have spent tens of millions on promotion fees. If we don't start to make a profit, I will feel uneasy."

"Didn't I tell you? At this stage, traffic is the first priority. What does tens of millions of promotion fees mean? A skin of the King can sell hundreds of millions in a day."

"How does our platform make a profit? GG or in-game recharge?"

"It shouldn't be GG. It's more inclined to in-game recharge, but it is also possible to launch a buyout stand-alone game."

Qin Zhiwei frowned and said: "Buyout stand-alone games don't seem to have much market in China. The most profitable ones are still online games."

"Someone has to do it."

Xu Ye smiled and said, "Humanity is doomed, and the levels will be completed sooner or later. Since the team already has experience in making this kind of game, we might as well strike while the iron is hot and launch a casual level-breaking game that is closer to online games. Didn't you tell me last time that our platform has more female users and elementary school students? I think our new game can target users of this group of people."

"When?"

"The sooner the better. You continue to recruit people. It's best to go to a big company to dig out programmers with mature technology. I will think about how to design the game."

"You haven't thought of the name of the game this time, have you?"

"I really have thought of it."

"What's it called?"

"【Egg Star】."
