Chapter 435 Company Development, "Shen Xia" new drama
December 24, Qilin Company Headquarters.
A few months ago, the headquarters building was finally completed. The 33-story building is quite satisfactory compared to the surrounding high-rise buildings.
He bought the land at a clever time, just when the land price was low.
There are also two pieces left for possible future Maoyan and V stations.
It can be regarded as leaving some foundation for the future. If the day comes when the business cannot continue, maybe you can still survive by selling the building.
Although this is the time of rapid development, everyone who moves in is full of confidence in the future.
Chen Rui and Xu Wu, who summarized their results this year, were particularly confident.
V station has developed by leaps and bounds in the past year.
The number of users exceeds 8 million, and there are tens of thousands of up owners involved in producing and uploading videos. Chen Linfeng already has an idea of what this type of website initially looked like.
In terms of animated series, in the past year, Chen Rui bought many current and past classic animations.
At the same time, we obtained the audio-visual license and started official operations.
On this point, V station is relatively advanced because of Chen Linfeng. It was required in the plan of the year before last.
At the end of last year, the National Copyright Office shut down the BitTorrent website and an anti-piracy alliance was established.
Basically, it means that the standardization of various video websites is a general trend.
Those video websites spent money to buy movies and TV series, and they were very popular, and the funds they spent far exceeded the V station by several orders of magnitude.
The V station is like sneaking into the village secretly, and you don’t want to shoot.
Quietly achieved a monopoly in the entire field of two-dimensional animation.
Now it is developing towards the pan-two-dimensional fields such as games, comics, film and television.
Next, we plan to expand to the mobile terminal to catch up with the trend of mobile Internet.
"Next year, V station is expected to take another step forward. The number of users will increase by at least one order of magnitude, and the number of monthly active users will exceed one million."
Chen Rui's voice was loud, and at the same time he inadvertently looked at Xu Wu beside him.
Chen Linfeng nodded. Now he is only about to enter his 11th year, but he has reached the same level of development as he did in his previous 13th year, two years ahead of schedule.
From Chen Rui's description, it is not difficult to see that he is basically growing against the ceiling, and he can't get anywhere fast even if he wants to.
Of course, those born in the 1990s are now entering college in their 20s. These people are natural potential users of the V site.
The focus of development is also to attract these people.
Considering that in 2008, the number of people taking the college entrance examination in China has exceeded 10 million.
These people are the beginning of the post-90s generation.
Every year in the future, there will be a population of this order of magnitude. They are naturally inclined to love Ai Dimension, and they are the best user group.
Chen Rui suggested, "Mr. Chen, I think you can also create an account on our V site. By then, the company's brand image may be shaped by you."
Just like Uncle Chen did in his early years, right?
Although this Chen is not the other Chen, Chen Linfeng still expressed his gratitude.
How many boomerangs has Uncle Chen eaten?
However, he had no objection to joining the V station.
It is always a good thing, both for the company and for him personally.
The report from station V is almost done, next is Xu Wu from Maoyan.
It officially started at the beginning of this year, and it has only been half a year.
Because it started at a high level, several theaters cooperated from the beginning, so the development speed is different from that of ordinary websites.
Thanks to the good situation in the film industry this year, Maoyan has also benefited a lot.
By the end of the year, that is, during the recent period.
For each movie, about 5% of the movie tickets are issued from Maoyan.
Converting this, it is 5% of the number of moviegoers.
The number of users so far exceeds 3 million.
This is an exaggerated development speed.
Chen Rui was a little shocked on the sidelines. Compared with their v station, the speed difference was too far.
Chen Linfeng is not surprised. After all, the film and television industry is oriented to the public.
The base is naturally much larger than the second dimension.
Maoyan’s next focus will be on online seat selection and mobile terminal development.
In fact, the finished product has been made, but it is still in the testing stage.
"Both of you have done a good job and will keep up the good work next year."
Chen Linfeng encouraged his two generals and showed great satisfaction.
Chen Rui hesitated for a while, then asked, "Mr. Chen, when will our V station start financing?
To be honest, we spent a bit too much money last year."
Buying TV series, buying servers, and engaging in user incentives all cost money.
Seeing that more funds will be needed next year, he is a little worried.
Xu Wu also looked here with concern. He had spent a lot of money this year.
Chen Linfeng looked at Chen Rui, "Has anyone contacted you?"
"Well, my former boss at Jinshan, Mr. Lei, as well as Penguin and Ali, have all asked. "
Xu Wu raised his hand, "Mr. Chen, Penguin also mentioned the investment to me."
"Brother Xiaoma is so interested," Chen Linfeng teased, but he didn't think so. Nothing objectionable.
In the past, when making Internet products, the first thing you had to ask yourself was what would you do if Penguin copied you.
Nowadays, penguins are less aggressive and instead spend money, they have become better partners.
After all, it only provides money, rarely intervenes or even reaches out to take control of the company.
The latter is what Ali prefers to do. Chen Linfeng does not feel that he has money, so he can promote these two products until they are launched.
Not to mention some technologies, platforms, publicity, channels and other resources that are needed during the development process.
Just to prevent these major Internet companies from starting a new business to fight against you is a great thing.
Therefore, Chen Linfeng roughly explained his considerations and replied,
"After the number of users exceeds 10 million, Chen Rui, you can try to talk about it first."
He then emphasized, "Don't be too hasty, we are really not short of money."
"Mr. Chen, I understand."
"Xu Wu, it's the same with you," Chen Linfeng changed direction and said,
"Series A financing, just come to a bigger one , After all, we don’t like small money. If the other party doesn’t agree, it’s their business.”
Chen Linfeng prefers Penguin and doesn’t mind both companies cooperating with Penguin.
Like in Hollywood, he is not afraid to take sides.
In other words, in the early stages, it is safer to stand firmly in line.
If you want to be neutral and have both sides, you need strength.
After hearing about the situation on Long Lin's side and the development of the special effects side of the mythical beast, Chen Linfeng finally concluded this round of year-end reports.
As the controller of three companies and the major shareholder of Long Lin.
He spent a lot of time just understanding the company's development and remote control strategic deployment.
It has become increasingly obvious over the past two years.
I don’t know, in many online articles, how those bosses who have reached the stage of being the richest man and have dozens of companies under their control manage to have in-depth control over their companies.
At the end of the month, I spent New Year’s Day at home with my parents and Xiaolong.
In early January 2011, Chen Linfeng and Liu Qianqian went to London.
"Chen, you are seventh in the year, congratulations."
"Yes, great director, I hope you have the opportunity to help me in the future."
The creators of "Shenxia" are very enthusiastic, even more enthusiastic than when we worked together the year before last.
"Ha, thank you, Martin."
"Andrew, you are too outspoken."
Chen Linfeng greeted them one by one.
"cc, I heard that you starred in a $100 million movie last year? Congratulations."
"cc, "The Walking Dead" is great, I like Greene so much."
>"Thank you."
Liu Qianqian also received better treatment than before.
In addition to getting along better with the crew, everyone has become closer to each other.
The year before last, "Sherlock" was a huge hit.
In the past year, all the main creators have made progress in their careers.
Everyone makes more money, and the pay is better, but it does not affect the operation of the crew.
So everyone is very satisfied and agrees with each other.
It is the rising period of an organization, a prosperous scene.
Chen Linfeng brought his new book "Shen Xia 3", which is a completed English translation.
He has discussed with domestic, European and American publishing houses. Now that the time is awkward and he cannot make it in time for Christmas, it is better to postpone it.
Decided to release it in March or April of the new year.
So the book he is carrying now is an internal version, specially used to read the script for the crew.
The current various plot settings are not entirely in accordance with the "Shenxia 2" written by Chen Linfeng before.
They need to ensure that there is no conflict between the current setting and the subsequent story.
After all, the screenwriters must have some ideas of their own. Furthermore, the plot of the novel "Shenxia 2" may not necessarily conform to the film and television shooting, and certain adjustments must be made. ,
This point, even if Chen Linfeng is based on the story skeleton of "Detective Sherlock Holmes" in his previous life, it may not be completely suitable.
After all, the eras of the two works are inconsistent. When he changes time and space, bugs may appear.
For Chen Linfeng, before the script is completely finalized, the crew makes reasonable modifications that do not exceed the scope of the drama-centered system. He is happy to see the script become more perfect.
"Oh, it's so exciting, it just touched my heart." Mark Gatiss praised while watching.
“Yeah, it feels like the plot I would think of in my dreams. Chen is a genius.”
Another screenwriter, Steven Moffat, almost stood up and cheered .
Of course, this is the plot you came up with in your previous life.
Chen Linfeng felt a little embarrassed. In front of the original author, he couldn't stand his shamelessness.
Wait until several screenwriters, including the producer, have read it.
He began to go through the script again with everyone.
The new version of the script is very different from the previous novels written by Chen Linfeng.
The key point lies in the rhythm of the story and the division of unit dramas.
The original work is the story of "Detective Sherlock Holmes". It is generally the narrative structure of the movie. The main story line is actually very long.
Chen Linfeng stitched together both movies, which was originally expected to be a two-episode story.
But when writing a novel, you can add a few more words to tell the story clearly.
But it won’t work in film and television dramas.
Therefore, the screenwriters split a novel into two seasons of scripts.
A movie serves as the main story line of a season, and small detective stories of unit dramas are interspersed in it.
Such a structure would be much better.
