Chapter 421 Early Entry, Big Dog
Tudou already has a basic base, and coupled with sufficient financial support, it has quickly returned to the top three positions in the industry.
When Wang Wei met with Lin Nan, Wang Changtian and others, he no longer looked as decadent, frustrated, tired, helpless, and struggling to death as he had for more than a year.
Today's Wang Wei gives people a feeling of high-spirited and rebuking Fang Qiu.
In a daze, Lin Nan remembered the scene when he met Wang Wei for the first time. The latter was calm, confident and full of fighting spirit, exactly the same as now.
"Now that Tudou is back on track, I just need to maintain this pace. I am confident that sooner or later, I will be number one in the country."
This is simple to say, but it cannot be separated from the support of a large amount of funds and resources. Fortunately, Lin Nan's family does not lack these.
Wang Changtian is also very satisfied with the current situation. If things continue to develop at this rate, Tudou will definitely become a large listed company in the future.
Lin Nan put down the tea cup in his hand. He had something serious to say today.
“What does Mr. Wang think of Apple’s smartphone?”
Not only Wang Wei, but also Wang Changtian and others beside him were stunned. Why did he mention the mobile phone?
“This epoch-making product is simply incredible. In their industry, major manufacturers are vying to imitate it...”
Wang Wei nodded and commented objectively.
“It’s almost time, Tudou must enter in advance.”
“What to do?”
"Video software for mobile phones."
Lin Nan looked at Wang Wei, then looked around at Wang Changtian and others, and said seriously.
“Everyone should be able to predict the speed of popularization of smartphones.
Currently, the 3G network is okay. In the future, 4G will no longer be limited to regional networks. Smartphones can do everything There are just too many, watching dramas, movies, games...
So Tudou needs to take action in advance and get as much market share as possible on the mobile side.”
Seeing Wang Wei frowning and thinking, Lin Nan knew that he didn't pay much attention to this.
“But Youku, there is no movement...”
“That’s why we have to take action in advance. The first mobile video software on the market. This gimmick is loud enough and will penetrate deeply. People's hearts.
Even if the first software is slightly insufficient, the first one is the first one, and market share is the key. Later, Tudou can slowly improve..."
Lin Nan said Wang Wei ended his words with an unquestionable tone.
In Lin Nan's view, the earlier one enters the market, the lower the cost, and the harvest is absolutely huge.
Everyone here looked at Lin Nan. It was rare to see him attach so much importance to and emphasize one thing.
"That sounds good, then... let's do it!"
Wanda's people took a sip of tea and directly spoke in support. Wang Changtian nodded and agreed.
Wang Wei is also the person who founded Tudou, and he does not lack this vision.
After he thought for a moment, he made a calculation:
"This kind of thing involves a lot of gambling. But since you major shareholders have spoken, I will set up a new department as soon as I get back and start doing it. This matter..."
......
The production companies were not happy for a few days before they were hit again by "Avengers".
The box office of 64 million on the first day once again made movies such as "Everyman" feel suffocated.
This time, there were also movies such as "Books with My Wife", "Chasing the Murderer", and "One Flew Over the Nursing Home", all of which were sanctioned and despairing.
"In half a month, the box office was 150 million. After dividing the accounts, the capital was returned, and I made a small profit of 10 million."
On the phone, Ning Hao's tone was relaxed. Son. The box office split for the next half month or so will be pure profits.
"It's very good. Director Ning Hao is said in the industry to be a hero of the 'Anti-Wu' movement, haha...
In addition, you did not participate in the Capital International Film Festival a while ago. Going to Cannes?”
Lin Nan joked and asked.
“I’m going to learn from Director Lin, go to the Cannes Film Festival to exhibit, and try to get a good price.”
“Okay, we’ll meet there then.”
… .........
Lin Nan noticed "Shadow Lover" starring Jing Tian and Zhang Baizhi. This movie was filmed a long time ago.
During the promotion some time ago, it seems that the film crew also pushed Jing Tian, who is the second female lead, to the front to ride on the popularity of "Pacific Rim".
But the plot of the movie is really a bit retarded and the audience didn’t buy it at all. The box office of over one million on the first day also explains everything.
Jing Tian stayed on the set and stopped cooperating with the promotion.
The movie "Special Identity" has not been finished yet, and "One Man's Martial Arts" has just started filming on Hong Kong Island.
The Hong Kong media have found something to do. They take secret photos, make up stories and troll them every day.
The crew of "One Man's Martial Arts" filmed in a haphazard and unprofessional manner, violently drove and pushed reporters, lacked quality, and cursed... Such reports are endless.
On the other hand, the reports on "Special Identity" are completely different. The Hong Kong crew are professional and have a tacit understanding. They play with great punches and cleanliness. The actors are dedicated and their acting skills are online...
When Lin Nan saw these news online, there were already a large number of replies and comments, all criticizing the Hong Kong media.
A blurry candid photo of the crew can actually generate hundreds or thousands of words of negative reports. It is no longer a fabrication, but a malicious smear campaign!
Lin Nan called Yue Jun:
"Go and talk to Yinghuang. Those media can go and sue one by one. We don't need the money and time..."
"I understand, Director Lin. I will tell Huo Wenxi later that, in fact, Yinghuang Huang has warned him several times..."
After hanging up the phone, an idea suddenly came to Lin Nan's mind.
"Why don't we pay attention to "Special Identity" when we set the schedule later?"
Then Lin Nan smiled and shook his head, feeling that it was a bit ridiculous.
The other party's movie hasn't been finished yet, so let's talk about it later.
Yinghuang is very efficient. The next day, I saw news on the Internet that several Hong Kong media were accused of malicious smearing, rumors and slander. Many Hong Kong filmmakers denounced Ying-Huang's behavior as making too much of a fuss. Yang Shoucheng, on the other hand, ignored these people completely and let them bark as they pleased.
…………
Everyone knows that the summer season is good, so everyone dives in headfirst.
Chen Kaige's "Search" and "Wu-Tang" are both scheduled to be released on July 6th.
There is definitely not much direct conflict between the two movies and Lin Nan's "Genius Gunman", but there is a direct confrontation between the two movies and "The Four Famous Catchers".
"I'm going to Cannes in a few days, do you want to come with me?"
Looking at Liu Yifei who was returning from a charity event, Lin Nan asked softly.
Miss Liu knew that Lin Nan was going to finalize the copyright during the film festival. She shook her head tiredly:
"I can't leave. There are two commercials to be shot in those days, and there are also announcements..."
"Okay."
Lin Nan saw today's entertainment news .
At the charity event, Liu Yifei and other actresses born in the 1980s were all present, and it was very topical.
The most interesting thing is the seating arrangement of the organizer.
Yang Mi, Liu Shishi, Tang Yan and others all sat together and did not communicate during the whole process.
Liu Yifei, on the other hand, hangs out with big shots like Zhang Ziyi, Zhou Xun, and Li Bingbing, and is greeted and chatted up by a few people or others from time to time, which makes her very conspicuous.
The media reports said it very directly:
"Liu Yifei is no longer in the same class as actresses of the same age. She has long been a top actress, and even more so for capital... …”
Miss Liu suddenly remembered something: “Last year at Cannes, the one who presented us with the award was Teacher Shi Nansheng, right?”
Lin Nan knew what she was going to say. Last year in Cannes, Liu Yifei had a very good impression of Shi Nansheng.
And another entertainment headline in the circle today is related to Shi Nansheng.
Xu Ke, who was in his early sixties, and a young woman were secretly photographed with their fingers intertwined and their behavior intimate.
The popular Zhuo Wei later confirmed that they had taken a lot of photos of Director Xu Ke and this woman last year, and that the relationship between the two was what everyone thought.
Once the news was reported, it quickly spread within the circle and on the Internet.
You know, Xu Ke and Shi Nansheng are not divorced yet, and the latter is still the producer of "The Dragon King of the City of Gods" that is currently being filmed!
People in the industry have long been accustomed to this situation, but the Internet is full of criticism.
After all, Xu Ke was indeed talented, but back then, Shi Nansheng was his boss.
It can be said that without the support of the woman, it would be difficult for Xu Ke to get ahead...
For a time, many male directors in the industry became the target of public criticism, and even Chen Kaige was pulled out to make trouble!
"Don't think nonsense!"
Liu Yifei looked directly at Lin Nan and said harshly: "I don't know how. I just think that Teacher Shi Nansheng lives a free and easy life..."
"You still said you weren't imagining things? Don't worry, I hung myself from a tree!"
"You said I was a piece of wood?"
Lin Nan was petrified, what kind of brain circuit is this? ?
It wasn't until he saw the playful smile on Liu Yifei's lips the next second that Lin Nan realized that he had been teased by Miss Liu! Today she is not stupid, she is shrewd.
…………
3D movies have become a hot topic in the film and television industry.
Teacher Six came out to speak again, calling for the construction of a "Journey to the West" theme park. Frankly speaking, China can go to great lengths to build Disneyland, so why is it unwilling to build a theme park for "Journey to the West"?
“Next month, I will go to Hollywood to meet with heavyweight filmmakers and invite Hollywood groups to develop the script of "Journey to the West".
I will contact Cameron, Spielberg and other great directors to invite them to direct the 3D version of "Journey to the West" movie... I will definitely play the role of Monkey King again! ”
When everyone heard this before, everyone would just sigh and admire Teacher Six.
But now that he heard this, Lin Nan felt that Teacher Six was too utilitarian.
Does the theme park cost money? Who pays for the 3D movie?
Teacher Six never talks about these objective things, he just shouts slogans!
Perhaps the most important and core part of his impassioned remarks was the last sentence: "I will definitely play the role of Sun Wukong again!"
Lin Nan discovered a problem that Teacher Six seemed to be able to step on every time. It is a hot spot in the film and television industry, and then it is related to "Journey to the West" and comes out to show off.
…………
“Big dog!”
It is estimated that the entire domestic film industry is scolding these three words, and the media are all reporting frantically.
It seems that the domestic film industry is completely going abroad and going global!
“Wanda invested a huge amount of US$3.1 billion to acquire the North American AMC Cinema Group and assumed all its debts.”
“…of which US$2.6 billion was used to acquire 100% of AMC’s shares, 500 million dollars is the new working capital.”
……
This kind of generosity shocked the industry!
"Director Lin, in the future, you can contact us for the filming and scheduling of movies in the North American market, hahaha..."
Lin Nan admitted that she was a little sour, but this was indeed a good thing. At the very least, Wanda is his ally and partner!
However, Lin Nan would not really take this sentence to heart. If you take it seriously, you will fall behind.
"Mr. Ye, congratulations to Wanda." Lin Nan congratulated over the phone.
"You're welcome, Director Lin. Haha..."
