Chapter 800 Mentougou
It can be said that once the Oriental Film City project was announced, it caused a huge response throughout China.
After all, the total investment in this project will exceed 50 billion Chinese dollars, and it will be China's largest film and television investment project so far.
At the same time, the participation of Hollywood companies including Marvel-MGM Pictures and Blue Valley Capital has also attracted widespread attention to this project - at this time, Chinese audiences are not interested in Hollywood films and television The work is also at its most popular, not to mention that Marvel's "Marvel Universe" series of movies has now begun to become popular around the world.
The 007 series of movies owned by MGM Pictures is also one of the most well-known Hollywood movies among Chinese people.
This time, Qindao was very sincere in order to win the project. In addition to the completion of demolition and land leveling of 16 plots with an area of 4 million square meters, Qindao also agreed. Provide some preferential tax subsidy policies for the studios within the Oriental Film Capital that will be built in the future.
Of course, before that, the Oriental Movie Metropolis project also needs to show a certain degree of sincerity - Qindao itself hopes to introduce this project for the purpose of not only obtaining investment and development, but also to focus on film and television The industry carries out activities including film festivals and cultural tourism projects that can expand Qindao’s international reputation.
This increase in popularity can itself bring more overseas investment and an increase in tourism revenue.
If the Oriental Movie Metropolis project can really achieve such an effect, Qindao will naturally not be stingy with various supporting policies - they will give what they can, and they will take the initiative to provide what the local area cannot. to seek policy support.
This in itself can achieve a win-win effect.
But if this project ultimately fails to achieve the expected results, I'm afraid their attitude will change accordingly.
This is not a difficult matter for the Oriental Movie Metropolis Group. Since they have decided to carry out such a project, they already have enough relevant resources as a guarantee.
After all, the shareholders of Oriental Movie Metropolis Group also include Blue Valley Capital and Marvel-MGM Pictures, and they still have great influence in Hollywood.
For example, the ground-breaking ceremony of the Oriental Movie City is expected to be held next month. At that time, top Hollywood stars including Xiao Lizi and Nicole Kidman will participate in the ground-breaking ceremony of the Yida Movie City. Will still come.
In addition, actors who play members of the "Avengers" such as Robert Downey Jr. and Scarlett, as well as other Hollywood actors who have a close relationship with Marvel-MGM Pictures Celebrities will also gather on Qindao.
This kind of formation has never happened before in China at this time.
So it can be said that the project of Oriental Movie Capital has now attracted enough attention from the Chinese media, and relevant reports appear in the media almost every day.
Of course there are reports arranged by them, but there is also a lack of attention from some literary and artistic media that are very yearning for Hollywood - after all, as we all know, there are a lot of Chinese literary and art circles who admire the West.
For example, the mother of an Asian-American who is as well-known in China as Fan Bingbing and is known as a "celestial being" in China took the initiative to contact Trina Film Group, hoping that Being able to get her the qualification to appear at the foundation laying ceremony of the Oriental Movie Capital, and being able to appear on the same stage as those Hollywood stars...

"Hello, Mr. McCalber, nice to meet you..."
"Are you the one who wants to buy my website?"
Jed McCalber is A white man with brown curly hair looked at the young man sitting in front of him and asked.

“But with all due respect, Lamy, our website is currently developing very well. Although BitC is just a new thing, we have occupied the vast majority of its transaction share, and there are still others contacting me now, I hope to acquire Mt. Gox, and his bid is much higher than yours..."
Perhaps the young man in front of me looks a little childish, and the other person is wearing casual clothes, so he doesn't look like a What a man with business experience, so Jade's tone was not so polite. If he didn't want to use other acquirers to increase the price for selling his website, he wouldn't have said much to them today.
Sitting opposite Jed is Lamy, who was previously funded by Barron’s and was in charge of the Predator Fund in DS Capital. But now, he has received a new He became the head of the newly established investment company called Matrix Capital.
Juzhen Capital is an investment company founded by Barron to invest in the blockchain industry. The reason for choosing Rami Shakfa as the head of this company is not only to train him, but also to Because Lamy is young and has a very high IQ, he can communicate more easily with this industry that is currently dominated by young people.
At the same time, Lamy also has sufficient experience in financial investment. This experience is conducive to the development of Juzhen Capital in the early stages of digital coin development.
Looking at Jed MacCaleb in front of him at this time, some information about the other party also appeared in Lamy's mind.
Jed McCuller was born in a single-parent family in Arkansas, USA, and was raised by his mother.
Jed has been proficient in mathematics and science since he was a child, and successfully entered UC Berkeley, which has trained more than 90 Nobel Prize winners. However, he dabbled extensively and lacked concentration. He eventually chose to drop out of school and moved to New York.
In New York, he co-created the p2p file transfer commercial software eDonkey.
This software achieved great success, and eventually the Recording Industry Association of America sued them for infringement - this is somewhat similar to the founding team of Skype. They also started their business from P2P file transfer software, and were also sued by the Recording Industry Association...
< br>In the end, the lawsuit was settled after Jed and his partners paid US$30 million in compensation and shut down eDonkey.
But no matter what, they still made millions of dollars from this business.
Although a little introverted, Jed is not at all ambiguous in making friends and has many romantic affairs...
In July 2010, a gun accidentally went off, and Jed let one of them The "girlfriend" became pregnant, and the two decided to give birth to the child.
Jed used his savings to buy a house with a swimming pool in upstate New York. During that time, he was addicted to a game called "The Far Wilds"...
One day, Jed was in the room. I accidentally saw an article reporting on BitC, and I was immediately attracted - isn't this my vision for starting eDonkey? Return the power to individuals...
But when he wanted to buy BitC, he found that the existing website was very inconvenient to buy BitC.
So he built a trading website overnight, using a domain name mtgox.com he purchased in 2007...
Mt.Gox is the abbreviation of "MagicTheGatheringOnlineeXchange", which was the name at that time A website used to trade recharge cards for the role-playing game "Magic: The Gathering".
However, in China, most people use its pronunciation and translate it as "Mentougou" exchange...
On July 18, the first day of its official launch, Mt.Gox traded 20 BitC. 5 cents each.
Not even a week has passed, but the transaction volume in a single day has exceeded one hundred US dollars.
Throughout July, due to reports from Slashdot, more and more computers were joining the BitC network, and BitC founder Satoshi Nakamoto decided to increase the mining difficulty to ensure an average block generation time of 10 minutes.
For a time, the mining difficulty of BitC increased by 300%. Many people found that their old computers began to be unable to mine BitC, and instead purchased BitC - this attracted more users to Mt.Gox.
By the end of July, Mt.Gox had become the BitC exchange with the largest trading volume in the world, and its trading volume once accounted for more than 70% of the global BitC trading volume!
