On May 1, 2005, on Labor Day, "Hip Hop Quartet" was officially launched in Youku.

A week later, the first video of "Hip Hop" exceeded 10 million times, as word of mouth was passed by friends.

"Hip Hop Quartet" is like a drop of Mars falling into the sea of ​​oil, and it suddenly burns violently, making people shocked. By the end of the first season, the average clicks exceeded 100 million per episode.

This online short drama has a profound impact, and it created a new theme of online sitcoms. It also successfully made the first shot of the Yuhuang Entertainment video network strategy successfully.

Jade Emperor Entertainment took advantage of the victory and launched the second, third, fourth and fifth seasons of "Hip Hop Quartet". This is not enough. In the second half of the year, Jade Emperor Entertainment gathered the original crew of "The Story of the Cooking Class" and grandly launched the second online sitcom "Wulin Waijie", and both online dramas were successful.

In June 2005, Jade Emperor Entertainment finally launched the variety show talent show ace program "Super Girl".

The birth of "Super Girl" is also to cooperate with the video site plan. Compared with this, Gu Ge has also focused on developing its video network youtube this year. The strategy is like Youku, launching new American dramas, and new variety shows will be broadcast on the site to attract traffic and accumulate brand effect.

Supported by the strong content and funds of Yuhuang Group, both Youku and Youtube have made great progress this year. Both of them surpassed their similar sites at the end of 2005.

In 2005, it was called the first year of online video in the industry. Yuhuang Entertainment Group successfully seized this opportunity and gained a leading position in video networks.

......

Winter goes and spring comes, and the pace of time never stops.

October 1, 2006, National Day.

During the seven-day National Day holiday, factories are on vacation, some people choose to travel, while some choose to go home. There are some young groups who do not have a rest. The more holidays they are, the busier they become. They have a title called Lianshu.

Wang Zhong, a native of Changde, Hunan, was 22 years old. He was a network writer. Of course, he would rather others call him a network writer.

Every writer has a pseudonym, Wang Zhong's pseudonym is "Mengru Shenji". He is the largest original online literature in China - a signed writer.

Speaking of which, Wang Zhong is still a new writer. In June this year, he uploaded his first work: "Buddha is the Tao". It has been updated by millions of words in the past five months. Unexpectedly, the first work became very popular and has achieved great results. It has now topped the rankings of various novels.

As a network author, the better his grades, the more he should not relax. It is necessary to maintain a certain amount of updates every day.

Today is National Day, and Wang Zhong has to update at least 6,000 words.

"Paipa!" The keyboard kept typing, and the last punctuation mark was finally finished. Wang Zhong breathed a sigh of relief. Today's task was finally completed.

He stretched his body and moved his muscles. At this time, "Dududu!" his phone rang, and he picked it up and saw that it was called by the editor's cat.

"Boss Cat, what's the matter?" Wang Zhong was surprised that the editor called.

"Shen Ji, tell you a great news."

"Good news? Did you agree to give me a platinum contract?"

When Wang Zhong thought of becoming a platinum author, he couldn't help but feel happy. "Haha!" The editor came from the phone and burst into laughter.

"Shen Ji, what is the platinum contract?" Maomao himself couldn't help but be excited. He uncovered the answer: "I tell you that your work "Buddha is the Tao" was spotted by a film company and is about to be made into a film and television work."

"Really?" Wang Zhong was stunned and said uncertainly: "Boss Cat, don't make me happy. Why did a film and television company come up before my book was updated?"

Then Wang Zhong asked, "Boss, aren't you a liar?"

"Haha, do you think the vice president of Yuhuang TV Co., Ltd. came to Shanghai Shanda and talked with our president in person that there was still a falsehood?"

"Yuhuang TV Co., Ltd.?" A thunder flashed in Wang Zhong's heart when he heard this. Could it be the TV company of Yuhuang Entertainment?

The cat on the other end of the phone seemed to know what he was thinking at the moment, and smiled and said, "It's your Jade Emperor Group that grows sand."

Then Maomao told the whole story. Just yesterday, Guo Jingjing, vice president of Yuhuang TV Co., Ltd., visited Shang*hai Shanda Group.

Nowadays, the vice president of Yuhuang Group is not a small person. Shanda's boss personally led his employees to welcome Ms. Guo's visit. The two bosses had a great conversation and reached a preliminary agreement on the film and television copyright of "Buddha is the Tao".

At this time, Maomao's tone became excited: "Shenji, do you know? This morning I got the news that Mr. Chen Lin, the chairman of Yuhuang Entertainment Group, is going to Shanda Company to participate in the signing ceremony in person. And-"

Maomao suddenly stopped selling, which made Wang Zhong very anxious: "Maomao, why are you talking about it?"

"Shenji, you kid are so lucky." Maomao was very envious and said, "It is said that Mr. Chen Lin knew that your author is also from Hunan. He was very happy. He notified us that he must invite you to Shanghai to sign the contract. Do you know that even our grand **oss was not seen by Mr. Chen Lin, but he did call your name and said you were lucky."

"Hehe!" Wang Zhong smiled foolishly. His heart was so excited that it was blank. He didn't even notice that the editor hung up the phone.

......

Ten days later, the atmosphere of Shang*hai Shanda Company was warm, and hundreds of reporters were invited to attend today's copyright signing ceremony of "Buddha is the Tao".

At 10 a.m., when Chen Lin appeared, more than 800 Shanda employees and hundreds of reporters in the hall were applauding each other. Under their joint witness, Yuhuang Entertainment Group officially bought the film and television adaptation rights of "The Buddha is the Tao".

Next, Chen Lin answered the reporter's questions.

Reporter: Mr. Chen, why are you interested in adapting web novels?

Chen Lin: Haha, I tell you a secret. I also read the novels of the Lottery (what? The employees of Shanda Company were very surprised, and the richest man also read the novels of the Lottery?). There are many excellent works in the Lottery, such as the book "Buddha is the Tao" that integrates the ancient Chinese myth of Pangu's opening the sky, and has a rich imagination. Lottery is a huge treasure and a huge creative pool. Jade Emperor Entertainment is willing to try this.

Reporter: I would like to ask that there are many classic works in Chinese, such as "Zhu Xian", why did you first choose "Buddha is the Tao"?

Chen Lin: The reason is very simple, because we already have two classic films and TV series "The Investiture of the Gods" and "Journey to the West", and "Buddha is the Tao" is closely related to these two classic works, which will have a ratings basis and reduce risks.

Reporter: Mr. Chen, can you reveal more information, such as the investment amount and the casting camp?

Chen Lin: Since everyone is very concerned, I will reveal one thing. The drama will adopt the weekly broadcast mode of American dramas for the first time, with seasons being filmed and broadcasted at the same time, and the first season is in the first season. The cost budget for each period is 10 million, and the total budget for the first season is 200 million yuan.

(Everyone was in an uproar and shocked. It was incredible that investment in a TV series actually exceeded the investment in domestic movies. But this was said from the head of Jade Emperor Entertainment, who is good at creating miracles, and everyone had to believe it.)

Reporter: It's incredible. In this way, your company has created another record - the most investment in Chinese TV series.

Chen Lin: Whether the investment is high depends on who to compare with. Do you know? The shooting cost of the latest American drama "The Walking Dead" of Starry Sky Entertainment has exceeded 10 million US dollars. At present, the large-scale production of American dramas, and filmization is a trend that cannot be ignored. Although the industrialization of film and television dramas in our country is not as good as that of the United States, and large-scale investment is very risky, Jade Emperor Entertainment, as the leader in the domestic film and television field, must have the courage to take risks. Therefore, the first online novel adapter will adopt a large-scale production and filmization model. Finally, I want to say that Starry Sky Entertainment has rich experience in large-scale production, and we are very confident that "Buddha is the Tao" will once again create classics and surpass the achievements of "The Legend of Sword and Fairy". Please wait and see.

After saying that, Shanda Company announced that the press conference ended here.

At noon, the President of Shanda personally held a banquet to entertain Chen Lin. In the afternoon, Chen Lin visited Shanda Company again. The two parties signed a strategic partnership. Yuhuang Group spent 30 million yuan and Chinese to jointly hold a "Yuhuang Cup" film and television script creation competition from March to September each year.

The script requires no less than 100,000 words, and the judges are composed of senior screenwriters, directors and senior editors of Jade Emperor Entertainment. The final 10 winners are selected. In addition to receiving a creative bonus of 3 million, each winner also has a signing contract provided by Jade Emperor Entertainment.

On October 25, Chinese launched the news of the "Yuhuang Cup Film and Television Script" creation competition, which caused a lot of turmoil in the industry. Countless young people who were interested in it registered as one of the many online writers.

On December 10, the crew of "Buddha is the Tao" that had been preparing for two months was officially established. On the same day, the Yuhuang Entertainment Group held a grand opening ceremony. At the press conference, the crew of "Buddha is the Tao" listed a huge list of actors:

Zhou Qing: The protagonist of the film, actor Lam Feng.

Jade Emperor: The Lord of Heaven, Actor, and Chairman of Jade Emperor Group Chen Lin made a guest appearance.

The Empress Dowager: The leader of the female fairy in the world, actor, Yu Yu, vice chairman of the Jade Emperor Group, made a guest appearance.

Saint Nuwa: The Holy Mother of the Human race, one of the six saints, actor Zhao Yazhi.

Taishang Laojun: One of the Three Pure Ones of the Taoist Sect, one of the 6 saints, and actor Zhang Guoli.

Yuanshi Tianzun: One of the three purities of Taoism, one of the six saints, and actor Chen Daoming.

The leader of Tongtian Sect: one of the three purities of Taoism, one of the six saints, and actor Zheng Shaoqiu.

......

The drama gathered nearly 100 stars to participate, creating the record with the largest number of stars in a single film and television series in China, until it was broken by this record in 2009 by "The Founding of the Party".

Just when the reporters were already numb by the great work of Yuhuang Entertainment Group, Chen Lin once again invited several extremely special actors, who were actually the original cast of the 1986 version of "Journey to the West":

Sun Wukong Liu Xiaolingtong, Tang Monk Chi Chongrui, Zhu Bajie Ma Dehua, Sha Monk Yan Huaili, Tathagata Buddha Zhu Longguang, and Guanyin Bodhisattva Zuo Dazhe.

The calmest person opened his mouth wide. All the stars, including Chen Lin and Yu Yu, stood up and applauded warmly. Only by applauding desperately can everyone express their respect to the actors of "Journey to the West".

"Please be quiet, everyone." After Chen Lin calmed everyone, he announced a major news: "Today I am honored to invite several teachers from the crew of "Journey to the West" to the press conference. Please allow me to announce a great news loudly."

Chen Lin paused and announced excitedly in everyone's anticipation: "Buddha is the Tao" will invite the original crew of the crew of "Journey to the West" to participate. Everyone will be lucky to see Sun Wukong again after a year, and Zhu Bajie will come out again, and the classics will appear."

"Wow——"
Chapter completed!
