When the sales of the album "Jay Chou" reached 550,000, Jimmy called Yu Dong.

"I'm not convinced, this is another one. I told me before that Zhou Jianhui and the Li brothers didn't think much of Xiao Zhou. I thought you were going to make a mistake this time, but I didn't expect..."

Speaking of this, Jimmy laughed again, "Zhou Jianhui should be regretting it now. This is good, we can keep more profits, and we can also restrict Zhou Jianhui and the others."

It is said that people who are suspicious of others should not be trusted, but Jimmy should always be wary of Zhou Jianhui and the others.

Jimmy is not a do-it-all leader, but he wants to make sure the company is under control.

"Did you call just to talk about this?"

"Isn't this enough for me to make a call? This can be regarded as a good start for our company to enter the music industry. Of course, the main focus is on deep space music. Alpha will control the scale. Except for Jay Chou,

Signing a few more young people with potential is equivalent to scratching the lottery prizes. If you scratch it, you will make money, if you don't scratch it, forget it."

Yu Dong nodded, he agreed with Jimmy's idea.

In fact, in his mind, Alpha's business is simpler, just serve Jay Chou, and as for other musicians, just leave it to Deep Space Music.

Such a small company does not have the extra power to develop other singers.

"Well, the singer won't be signing for the time being. Let's hire some staff first."

The staff Yu Dong mentioned were life assistants, makeup artists, and the like. His plan was to make Jay Chou's contract more detailed, with the management contract signed with Deep Space Company, the production contract with Alpha, and the record distribution contract.

You can sign with Sony first.

In this way, Alpha Company's workload can be reduced and Jay Chou's publicity can be guaranteed.

"No problem." Jimmy smiled, "I'm too busy at this time and can't go to China. Let's wait until the annual meeting. I want to have a good chat with this little Zhou. Also, what you promised me last time

Is the Little Wanderer animated movie already overdue?"

Yu Dong rolled his eyes, knowing that Jimmy's phone call meant nothing good.

Yu Dong thought about the Little Wanderer animated movie for a long time, and finally decided to follow the story of the TV series, remove some of the less important things in it, and condense it into a movie of about one and a half hours.

"The script is almost done, I'll send it to you later."

After hearing that Yu Dong said that the script was almost done, Jimmy said with a smile: "Actually, there's no rush, you can take your time."

"Then I'll take my time..."

"No, it's just a joke. Why are you taking it seriously? I'm calling you because I have one more thing to say. Regarding the cooperation in the mythical universe, we have almost talked about it with Disney and Pixar."

"The efficiency is quite high."

"It's not to say it's efficient. Disney originally wanted to cooperate with us, and with the opportunity of "Pirates of the Caribbean", things about the mythical universe naturally fell into place. Pixar was also trying to save face and agreed quickly."

In fact, Pixar is not just about selling face. Last year, their company just expanded, and now they have nearly 400 employees.

Since there are so many people, they must take over the job. It happened that Shen Kong and Disney sent the job over, and they took advantage of the situation.

“Has Pixar’s animated movie “A Bug’s Life” been released?”

"Hey, you are quite concerned. Indeed, it has been released for almost two weeks, and the box office is very good. There will definitely be no problem with the North American box office exceeding 100 million. My prediction for this movie is that the global box office will eventually exceed 300 million.

Stephen was still talking to me about this matter two days ago, and this time they are going to be pressed to the ground and rubbed."

Yu Dong asked, "Are you talking about the "Little Ant Hero" they produced?"

"Yes, that's it. Steven was originally quite ambitious."

When talking about this, Jimmy didn't feel sorry for Spielberg at all.

Although they have a strategic partnership with Spielberg, Jimmy doesn't care too much about the development of DreamWorks. Jimmy only cares about Spielberg. Even if DreamWorks collapses, not only will he not feel sad, he may even

will be delighted.

If DreamWorks fails, Spielberg will be able to cooperate with them wholeheartedly.

In addition, Jimmy has always had thoughts about Pixar.

However, Pixar is developing very well now. If you want to acquire them, you won't be able to do it for a while. It's not just a matter of money. The key is that they won't sell it.

On this point, Yu Dong has the same opinion as Jimmy. He is also very interested in Pixar.

If Pixar can really be brought under its control, the puzzle of Deep Space will be almost complete. The most important thing is that Pixar will be very useful to the subsequent strategic development of Deep Space.

Deep Space has a lot of IP in its hands, and it needs the help of companies like Pixar to develop it. Even if it doesn't use top-notch technology, as long as Pixar is in its hands, it can naturally develop companies of various levels from top to bottom.

Take this incident as an example. If Pixar had been acquired by Deep Space, then their cooperation with Disney would become simpler, and the two companies would just connect directly.

Nowadays, with the addition of Pixar between Deep Space and Disney, things are not easy to control.

Also, if Pixar is in hand, Deep Space will have an advantage when discussing cooperation with Disney. After all, Deep Space will do all the content creation itself, and Disney will have very little to do.

Yu Dong knew what Jimmy was thinking and said with a smile: "Let's wait a few more years for Pixar."

"Yeah." Jimmy on the other end of the phone nodded, "But we can't always think about acquiring others. We have to try to develop ourselves. Even if we don't develop, it won't be wasted. In the future, after we acquire Pixar

, and can be seamlessly connected.”

"This idea is correct. With the development of technology, buying and selling can only play a role in promoting it. If we rely on buying everything and the foundation is unstable, there will definitely be hidden dangers."

The hidden dangers mentioned by Yu Dongkou are aimed at the country.

This is indeed the case. If they always think about spending money to buy technology, then in the end they will be the only company that can develop in the country.

Deep Space will eventually become an uncompetitive leader in the cultural sector, and it may one day be unable to stand alone and collapse.

At that time, it will not be a company like Deep Space that falls, but the national entertainment industry. Then the domestic entertainment lifeline will be firmly controlled by foreign countries.

This is what Yu Dong is thinking about now. What he wants has never been the dominance of one deep space company, but the prosperity of the entire industry.

Only with the rise of the entire domestic industry can deep space continue to advance.

…

"Jielun, come here."

Jay Chou had just returned from playing ball and was about to take a shower when his mother, Ye Huimei, called him.

"Mom, what's wrong?"

"Are you going to play ball with Genghong and the others again?"

"Well, I just don't have much to do today."

Ye Huimei nodded, "Well, when you were not here just now, your cousin sent a bunch of tapes for you to autograph. She boasted to her classmates that her cousin was the great singer Jay Chou, so the classmates asked her to ask you for autographs. After waiting for a while, I got impatient and went back, saying I would pick it up tomorrow."

Jay Chou smiled and said, "She is not bragging, I am his brother."

"I mean, she bragged that her cousin was a big star."

Jay Chou blinked his eyes, thinking that his cousin was not bragging when he said this, but in the end he did not say it out loud because he knew that if he said this, he would definitely be scolded by Ye Huimei.

"I'll sign it for them."

"Well, it's just on the table. I didn't count carefully, but there are about a dozen of them."

Jay Chou nodded and walked to the table.

He raised his eyebrows when he saw the tapes and CDs on the table. At least half of them were pirated copies, and they were the kind of pirated copies that could be seen at a glance.

As for the other half, Jay Chou was not sure whether it was pirated or not.

Piracy is so powerful now that even non-professionals can’t tell the difference.

But it's not that important whether it's a pirated copy or not. Since it's his cousin's request, of course he has to satisfy it.

After signing a bunch of pirated albums, Jay Chou walked towards the bathroom, but heard Ye Huimei say: "Hurry up and finish washing, we will watch TV together later."

"What are you looking at?" Jay Chou asked.

While adjusting the channel, Ye Huimei said angrily, "You wrote the episode in "Love Song of Stars and Moon", and you should be an employee of Deep Space Company now. Since it is a TV series produced by the company, of course you have to take a look."

"Oh, I got it, I'll be out soon."

He really forgot about it, he has been very busy recently.

When he was making an album before, he felt that he was already busy enough, but after the album came out, he realized that people become even busier when they become famous. Today, he finally found time to play basketball.

The company is now helping him screen interviews, and he will definitely have to cooperate in publicity in the future. Fortunately, the company has no intention of asking him to accept advertisements, otherwise he will definitely be even busier.

After coming out of the shower, Jay Chou dragged a chair and sat next to Ye Huimei.

"When does it begin?"

"Not until nine o'clock."

Jay Chou looked at the clock on the wall and muttered, "But it's not even seven o'clock now."

However, he just muttered and continued to sit and watch the news with Ye Huimei.

After finishing the news, I watched another program I didn’t know what it was. Finally, it was nine o’clock and the TV series officially started.

This TV series is broadcast one episode every day on Baodao CTV, but the episode here is the mainland version and the two episodes combined. The Baodao version has a total of thirteen episodes, while the mainland version has twenty-six episodes.

After the TV started playing, Ye Huimei stared at it very seriously, even taking a notebook and pen, as if she planned to take notes.

Jay Chou put his hand on his chin. Although his character "Rooftop" will appear in this TV series, he doesn't have much expectations for the plot of the TV series.

At this time, many people are in the same situation as Jay Chou. Compared with this kind of soap opera, they are more willing to watch some more interesting entertainment programs. However, the remote control at home is in the hands of parents, and they can only watch soap operas together.
