Chapter 617 Tomato Novel

"Short drama?"

Chen Qingqing frowned, crossed her long legs, and asked in detail: "What is a short drama?"

Xu Ye smiled and said: "Short drama... a short drama is a TV series with a single episode lasting a few minutes to more than ten minutes. Most domestic TV series are boring and long, so many people are used to fast forwarding or watching TV at double speed. The advantage of short drama is that it simplifies the plot and abandons the boring and long plot, which can attract people more directly and quickly."

Chen Qingqing nodded, but she soon thought of another question: "But no matter how simplified it is, doesn't it still need a script?"

"You can directly adapt online novels. The current mainstream novel platforms are..." Xu Ye took out his mobile phone and searched Baidu, and then read it: "Qidian, Zongheng, Jinjiang, Feilu... No."

"What's wrong?"

Xu Ye wondered in his heart: Why are there no Qie and Mao? Could it be that these two platforms are not online at this time!

Thinking of this, Xu Ye searched for these two platforms again.

Sure enough!

It really hasn't been!

One of these two platforms was launched in the second half of 2018, and the other was launched in the second half of 2019.

"I'm asking you a question. What are you thinking about?"

Xu Ye came back to his senses and smiled: "No, I'm thinking about how to operate this matter. I'll call Zhang Xinzhou first."

After Xu Ye finished speaking, he dialed Zhang Xinzhou's number.

"Hello, brother, I just arrived in Shanghai. Did you call me at the right time?"

"Don't talk nonsense. Don't worry about the company's affairs. When you return to the company, do something for me first."

"What is it?"

"Go and run the procedures to help me register another company."

"Ah?"

Xu Ye hesitated and finally added: "Forget it, I'll talk about it when I go to the company tomorrow morning."

Xu Ye hung up the phone and called Qin Zhiwei again.

"Hello?"

"Have you finished get off work?"

"Not yet."

"Ask if there is anyone in the company who knows how to use the front-end. I want to make a web page."

Qin Zhiwei asked in confusion: "Didn't Fangzhou Interactive Entertainment's official website come out a long time ago? Why do we need to make a web page?"

"Let's talk about it tomorrow."

"Okay."

Qin Zhiwei changed the subject and asked directly: "By the way, have you been involved in Fang Yuan and Jiang Yu's affairs?"

"No, what's wrong?"

"It seems that they have developed a little too fast recently."

"Just take care of yourself."

"I just asked casually."

...

The next day, Xu Ye got up very early.

After washing up, he made two bowls of dumplings made by Lao Zhang himself. After Chen Qingqing came down from upstairs and ate the dumplings, the two came to the company together.

Qin Zhiwei came quite early, but Zhang Xinzhou came at the right time for work. However, he couldn't be blamed for this. He and Yan Qing rushed back from Pengcheng last night, cleaned up the house overnight, and fell asleep in the middle of the night.

He also brought Yan Qing to the company, but after Yan Qing came, Chen Qingqing finally had someone to talk to.

"Tell me, what new ideas have you come up with to make money?"

Zhang Xinzhou smiled as soon as he entered the meeting room, and Qin Zhiwei also looked at Xu Ye.

Xu Ye found an excuse and said, "The project of The Damn Beauty was directed by my neighbor. You both know this. When I got home last night, my neighbor mentioned this to me. Suddenly, an idea popped up in my mind. I want to make a short play."

"Short play?"

"Yes."

Zhang Xinzhou was surprised and said, "What is a short play?"

Qin Zhiwei also frowned and said, "Like "Wulin Wai Zhuan" and "Love Apartment?"

"That's a situation comedy. A short play is a mini version of a TV series with a faster pace and more attractive plot. Now is a fast-paced era. The popularity of Douyin is a typical example. I want to build a short play platform based on online novels. If this is done, it will form a complete "industrial chain" and even develop into a new industry."

"I don't understand this at all, but you are the boss, you have the final say. Anyway, you can't make all the money on the company's books now."

Qin Zhiwei asked, "What do you need me to do?"

"Just like what I told you yesterday, help me find someone to make a website and app first Let's call it Tomato Novel. In the early stage, we will find other platforms to buy copyrights. If the website can be operated in the later stage, we will adapt it ourselves. This should not be difficult. As long as we improve full attendance and provide some benefits, authors will naturally move in. "

Zhang Xinzhou heard this and added: "But the office building cannot be moved in yet, you must have an office space."

"There is still an area over there that has not been used. In the early stage, we will squeeze in there. The office building can be moved in by June at the latest."

"That's fine."

Qin Zhiwei said: "Then let someone refer to other novel websites and apps to make the program first, and then modify it later."

"Yes."

"Is the company name also called Tomato?"

"It doesn't matter. Check if it has been registered. If it has been registered, you can just name it at random."

Zhang Xinzhou nodded and said: "Okay."

The three of them sat together and chatted for a while. After Xu Ye returned to his office, he began to think about who to recruit for the new company. He drew a mind map on the computer while thinking.

It was not until after four o'clock in the afternoon that he called Zhou Yinan from the Administrative Human Resources Department into his office.

Zhou Yinan and Zhan Zifeng joined the company at the same time. Now one of them is a manager and the other is a general manager. In fact, their jobs are not much different. After Xu Ye called Zhou Yinan into the office, he said straight to the point: "I am about to set up a new company. I want to transfer you to be the head of the new company's administrative human resources. The salary and benefits will remain the same. What do you think?"

Zhou Yinan nodded slightly and said: "I will obey the arrangement."

"Just tell me whether you are willing or not. Obeying the arrangement seems like I am forcing you."

Zhou Yinan quickly changed his words: "I am willing."

"There is a company structure table that has just been printed on the printer. I have marked which department needs to recruit which people. I found it on the Internet. I have looked at the salaries offered by other peer companies. My salary is slightly higher. Please try to recruit some experienced people who can do things directly for me. "

"Okay."

"I will take you to the temporary office of the new company tomorrow afternoon. If someone asks about this when applying for a job, you can tell them that the office is only temporary and we will move to our own office building in June."

"I see. Can I tell them that the new company is controlled by Qingye Investment?"

"Of course."

"Okay, I understand."

"That's it. If you have anything, please chat with me privately."

"Okay."

After Zhou Yinan took the structure table from the printer, he quickly left the office.

Xu Ye glanced at the time, turned to Chen Qingqing on the sofa and said, "Today's work is almost done, let's go back."

"Yan Qing told me that she brought the cat from Pengcheng."

"The white cat?"

"Yes."

"Why, do you want to raise a cat too?"

"I never thought about it before. I couldn't even take care of it myself, so how could I have time to take care of small animals, but it's different now."

Xu Ye smiled and said, "Do you know what my mother would say if I told my mother a few years ago that I wanted to raise a cat or a puppy?"

"What would she say?"

"My mother would definitely say that the family can only raise one animal, either I stay or the cat or the puppy stays."

"Haha~"
