Chapter 484 Pumpkin Weibo

 [The 56th Berlin Film Festival ended, Dong Xi attended the awards ceremony and awarded the Best Actress.]

[The work "Incense" by our young director Ning Hao won the "Best Film Award for the Young Generation". In an interview with reporters, he said: I admire Dong Xi the most...]

[The Lunar New Year festival has entered its final stage, with the overall box office exceeding 150 million yuan, of which the box office of "Heroes of Heaven and Earth" and "Mobile Phone" both exceeded 50 million yuan. 】

[Cheng Long returns to the Chinese film industry, and the new movie "New Police Story" starts filming...]

[Leslie Cheung took on the role of director for the first time in his career and said he was both nervous and excited. 】

On the filming scene of "The Bourne Supremacy", Dong Xi sat on a chair and browsed the news on the website. From time to time, he raised his head to glance at Zhao Xina and Johnson, who were playing tricks with Wu Yue.

In this scene, Bourne, who has lost his memory, finds a Swiss bank based on the clues on the laser pointer. After obtaining the safe deposit box through account number and palmprint recognition, he realizes the danger...

"The Bourne Supremacy" is different from the "007" and "Mission: Impossible" series. It does not have all kinds of cool equipment, nor does it have flying fighting scenes. It is more plot-oriented.

But that doesn’t mean the action scenes in the movie aren’t exciting. The crisp and clean killing techniques are the film’s specialty.

In order to make the action scenes more delicate, a lot of tricks need to be prepared in advance.

Johnson and Zhao Xina came to guest star, and they were the supporting characters who were defeated by Dong Xi with a few moves. Superstars in the wrestling world can only play this kind of role in Hollywood movies.

In fact, all wrestlers have good acting skills. Their career is a live show, which is much more difficult than a stage play.

Dong Xi was not worried about the action scenes. What he felt was a little inappropriate was that director Doug used a lot of handheld shots, which made the picture full of instability.

Although it seems that the authenticity has been enhanced, there is a question mark as to whether the audience can accept it.

However, Dong Xi is not the director of the film. He will make his own suggestions but will not interfere too much in the filming.

He did not intend to add too much personal style to this film, but tried to simply be an actor.

With Dong Xi's extremely professional cooperation, "The Bourne Supremacy" is progressing rapidly and is expected to be completed before the Oscars.

This year's Oscars announced the nomination list in advance in January, and "Thirteen" was nominated for the best foreign language film on behalf of the mainland.

Dong Xi himself didn't think too much about this, but both Han Bin and Sun Haiping thought they could fight for it. In the end, Dong Xi couldn't break up the two, so he could only agree to spend 2 million US dollars for public relations.

In his opinion, the 2 million is just a waste. After all, "Thirteen" has been released worldwide, and even if it wins an Oscar, it won't increase the box office by a dime.

As for Sun Haiping and Han Bin's belief that Dong Xi could be improved through this, it is even more nonsense.

With his current influence, unless he directly wins the Oscar for Best Director, a Best Foreign Language Film award is really better than nothing.

But after all, Real Silver invested US$2 million, and even if it was thrown into the water, there would still be a sound, so Dong Xi will attend the Oscar Awards at the end of February.

Before that, he still needs to return to China to witness the official operation of Xizi’s social platform Pumpkin Weibo.

After several months of trial operation within the company, and after listening to opinions from all parties, in order to distinguish it from other portal blog sites, Pumpkin Blog was renamed Pumpkin Weibo.

The definition of a blog is actually an online diary. In terms of the number of words, there is no limit to the number of words in a blog. Bloggers can publish articles on an issue or an event, either in a long way or in a simple way.

During the trial operation phase, its artists were required to share something every day, either about their life or work.

Obviously it is too difficult for this group of people to write a diary every day. Except for a few people, most celebrities are scratching their heads in order to make up a few hundred words.

Wang Baoqiang, in particular, called Dong Xi in tears, feeling as if he could not finish his homework.

Considering this problem, Dong Xi proposed the concept of Weibo based on the information obtained by Golden Finger, which limited the number of words and allowed one sentence or one picture to be posted.

And the biggest difference from blogs is that on Weibo you don’t need to go to the other party’s homepage to see the content posted by the people you follow on your own homepage!

Compared with cumbersome blogs, Weibo has a lower entry barrier and is more timely.

Of course, the technology also needs improvement, but with the help of software engineers recruited from Silicon Valley by a headhunting company, Dong Xi's requirements were easily fulfilled.

However, Pumpkin Weibo, which was originally scheduled to be officially launched during the Lunar New Year, has been postponed to late February.

On February 22, Dong Xi was operating the Pumpkin Weibo webpage on his computer in the Xizi Film and Television Building in Beijing, accompanied by a group of technicians.

The page is simple and elegant, without too many complicated things. There are only five major options such as Weibo, homepage, recommendations, follow, and photo album.

It's easy to get started. About five minutes later, Dong Xi used his exclusive 000001 account to post the first official message on Weibo.

[Hello everyone, I am Dong Xi, welcome to the world of Weibo! (Picture)]

The picture was selected. Dong Xi was sitting on the set, staring at the director's viewfinder.

In the picture, Dong Xi's eyes are piercing, and combined with the dim lighting of the studio, there is a sense of tranquility in the past.

It is a very artistic and pretentious photo, which is in line with the audience's yearning for the director's profession.

This is obviously not Dong Xi's normal working state. Most of the time, he would cross his legs, hold up a loudspeaker, and speak dirty words.

According to Dong Xi's preference, he originally planned to pile up the trophies he won and hold a cigar in his mouth to use as an ashtray...

【Liu Huohua(v)】:Sofa~

【summer Xu (v)】: So handsome!

[Miss Zeng carrying the dragon-slaying knife (v)]: Thumb.

【Queen·Fan(v)】:Love (picture).

[Wang Baoqiang (v)]: I am the fastest!

[Dragon Movie Crew (v)]: Hero Xiao Feng (Stills).

(v) It is an official certification. If you want to open it, you must be a public figure with a certain influence, and it can only be stamped after being verified by the official.



[I don’t know what the name is]: Finally the registration was successful.

[Netizen 66789]: Why do I follow him? Why don’t I have (v)? What are fans?

[Bathing Xu]: Is there a hundred thousand whys upstairs?

On the first day of Dong Xiguang's heroic post, Pumpkin Weibo will be home to more than 200 celebrities from across the Taiwan Strait and three places, including Cheng Long, Gong Li, Hua Tsai and other big-name stars, and even overseas celebrities such as Kun. Ting, Spielberg, WWE officials and the like will also officially settle in.

The film and television dramas produced by Xizi will also upload some stills and highlights in the form of crew members.

Although many people will forget the incident after posting a post, the response caused by so many public figures made Weibo an instant hit.

The number of registered users on that day exceeded 500,000. You must know that the most popular blog in China just exceeded 200,000 users last year.

Dong Xi's number of fans currently ranks first, not because the audience loves him more, but because in Weibo's rogue settings, as long as the registration is successful, the default check box is checked to follow Dong Xi.

Unless you read the relevant statements very carefully, you won't be able to find this setting at all.

Compared with other celebrities, the number of fans of young celebrities increases faster. According to Weibo's calculation formula, the higher the frequency of updates, the greater the chance of being recommended.

Young celebrities accept things faster, which also makes it easier for them to use Weibo.

On the second day after Weibo was launched, the first person with one million followers was born, and there was no doubt that it was Dong Xi.

The next person to break the million mark was not a star, but Yao Yao, who landed in the NBA the year before last.

Because this year is the year of the Olympics, Xizi Film and Television also contacted relevant departments and invited many sports stars to settle in, the most famous of which is basketball player Dayao.

The third one to break the one million mark is Cheng Long. His eldest brother Cheng probably has someone running the account. He uploads the latest stills from the set of "New Police Story" on time every day, which is almost like a live broadcast.

Needless to say, the effect is quite outstanding.

This has also caused other crews to follow suit, especially the crew of the upcoming "Dragon". Not to be outdone, the bearded man promoted it on Weibo, and his fans successfully exceeded 600,000.

Just when everyone was looking forward to who would become the fourth person to exceed one million followers, the first scolding war that swept Weibo took place.

The cause of the matter is that I saw the good publicity effect on Weibo, and the crew of "House of Flying Daggers" also settled in. It was mainly run by Zhang Weiping, who posted some stills and boasted about it, which attracted a lot of fans.

But under one of his posts about commenting on this year's Oscars, actor Sun Haiying mocked: "Our dramas and movies are all declining. Even Zhang Yimou's "Hero" has not been released in the United States. It is still showing off."

As soon as these words came out, it immediately caused an uproar.

After the copyright of "Hero" was bought out by Miramax, it has not been released in North America for a long time, which is a worry for Zhang Weiping.

He usually complained about this matter a lot himself, but it was another matter when others said it.

Zhang Weiping was relatively restrained at first: "Comrade Sun Haiying is very cute, much better than those people who stab me in the back and compliment me on my good looks when we meet!"

Sun Haiying cursed angrily: "I told you that I think highly of you, otherwise you would be so proud that you would still think that you are nothing. Without Zhang Yimou, you are nothing!"

The sentence "You are nothing without Zhang Yimou" completely broke Zhang Weiping's guard. He directly responded on Weibo: "What the hell do you dare to teach me how to do things? You can really pretend and you have the ability to make movies."

Since then, the two sides have started a war of words, and started a turn-based exchange of words on Weibo. Times are really progressing. In the past, there was a cooldown period when they used to criticize each other in the paper media, but now they are directly in the face of a flying dragon.

The traffic-draining effect of this storm completely exceeded everyone's expectations, and was much better than the "Muzimei" incident on the blog last year.

After all, both parties are public figures, and the mainland, unlike Hong Kong and Taiwan, can watch "farce" on TV every day, so it has attracted a large number of people.

In the end, Weibo officials intervened in this matter and ended up banning both parties from the package for three days and giving each party 30 blowbacks.
Chapter completed!
