11 years have passed and Tuanjie Lake Park remains the same as ever.
The leaves turn green when spring comes, and the trees wither when winter comes. I look very calmly at the comings and goings of the world, as well as Guo Fan who is standing downstairs at the moment.
He has been back home for more than 20 days and has been digesting his earnings from Hollywood. Only today did he dare to come see Yu Jiajia.
Mr. Yu promised to give each of them a film, but he did not take the initiative to contact them.
Guo Fan asked Ning Hao, and Ning Hao said that they had finished talking. He wanted to make a special effects blockbuster, but Mr. Yu slapped him in the corner. Make a woolen special effects blockbuster. Let me make a feature film honestly!
This also made him hesitant.
"Ding!"
As soon as the elevator door opened, Guo Fan walked out, walked through the long corridor, reached an office at the end, and raised his hand to knock on the door.
"Dong dong dong!"
"Enter!"
He pushed the door open and walked in. Yu Jiajia was not busy, but was holding a cup of coffee and said, "You have 30 minutes, I'm going out in a minute."
Ga!
Everything Guo Fan had prepared was immediately scrapped. He choked for a few seconds and simply said: "Mr. Yu, I am very interested in science fiction. I want to make a science fiction film!"
"What kind of science fiction movie?"
"A large-scale industrial production, full of big special effects and layouts, the kind that is shocking. Of course I know I can't shoot it now, but I hope to work hard in this direction, and I hope you can give me a chance."
"..."
Yu Jiajia looked at him and asked: "You are the last one to come. The other four have come to me a long time ago, talking about the film industry. But we don't mention the film industry, only you. You think your director is
How’s the level?”
Seeing his hesitation, he added: "For example, if Spielberg and Kubrick were Ferraris, what kind of car do you think you are?"
"Well……"
Guo Fan scratched his head. He had just made a movie that did not do well at the box office. How high could the standard be? He paused and said, "Jetta?"
"Ha ha!"
Yu Jiajia laughed and said: "Ning Hao said he was Santana, Han Yan said he was Alto, Wu Ershan said he was Wuling Hongguang, and Wu Jing said he was Dayong, are they all quite humble?
In my opinion, except for Ning Hao, none of your directors are qualified. Letting you go to Hollywood to study will certainly broaden your horizons, but you will inevitably have high aspirations.
So it’s not that I’m stingy and won’t open a big production for you, it’s just that you can’t grasp it.”
She slapped a piece of information and said: "This is a project for you, take a look!"
"The Master of Hypnosis"?
Guo Fan was stunned when he saw the title of the film and said: "Is this a science fiction film?"
"Think of it as suspense or thriller. I got this script written by a Taiwanese as your assessment homework. The budget is 15 million. Within this category, you can choose the cast.
You have only made one movie, so your experience is too little.
In the final analysis, movies are about telling stories. Big sci-fi productions are not all about special effects. Industrialization alone is of no use. The director’s level must keep up. Don’t underestimate commercial films. It is very difficult to make commercial films look good.
You should master this rhythm first and then talk."
Yu Jiajia stared at him and said mercilessly: "Remember, you only have two chances. If you fail this time, I will give you another project. If you fail again, go ahead."
"..."
Guo Fan felt a chill on his back and broke into a cold sweat.
Yu Jiajia's preferential treatment to these directors seems to have given them the illusion that 99 Entertainment is what it should be. As a result, at this moment, her true face made Guo Fan panic again.
"I, I will definitely not let you down!"
Guo Fan reluctantly agreed, put away the "Hypnosis Master" materials, stood up to leave, took two steps, then turned back and asked: "Can you tell me what the four of them filmed?"
"Your progress is not the same, there is no need to compare with each other, just do what you should do."
He had no choice but to leave in despair and study this "Master of Hypnosis".
The original movie was directed by Chen Zhengdao and starred Xu Zheng and Mo Wenwei. It was of good quality and had good reputation and box office.
Of course, Yao Yuan would not open a blockbuster just because the five of them studied in Hollywood. What many domestic directors are best at is not filming, but complaining and making excuses.
In fact, it’s just that my own standards are not good enough.
Especially combined with the fandom of later generations, those movies with popular stars have hit the market, and fans can give you more reasons than the national football team losing.
…………
After Guo Fan left, Yu Jiajia put on her coat, went downstairs and drove to Beijing.
In the past two years, Beijing and Taiwan have caught up with the wheat grain and made money while lying down. "Qian'er Brother's Kitchen", "Flowers and Boys", "The Voice of China" and so on, advertising sponsorships have taken off.
In a few years, the audience will get used to the self-produced and self-sold model of video platforms, and they will say goodbye to Beijing and Taiwan.
"Sister Jiajia!"
"Mr. Yu!"
Along the way, various people greeted her and she came directly to a studio.
Xu Meng was inside, beckoning her over, and the two stood side by side, watching a program being recorded.
"In the 1980s, there was a honeymoon period between China and the United States, and China and Europe were also in a honeymoon period. The United States took the lead, and all Europe followed.
I was young at that time and was a lieutenant colonel, but I was fluent in foreign languages and knew some technical skills, so I had the opportunity to work as a liaison officer on a ship. What does a liaison officer do? For example, when an American ship came to visit China, I would sit there
Our frigates went to the high seas to greet...
I took the pilot, customs, epidemic prevention and other personnel to the American ship. I was responsible for telling the Americans who I was. I came to welcome them on behalf of the Chinese People's Navy. First of all, I told them that there is no nightlife in China. On the ship
Just stay patient and go out and put on your military uniform so that we can identify..."
There is a sofa, a coffee table, a set of tea sets, and a sea blue background board with three large characters printed on it: Zhao Zhong said!
The director sat on the sofa and talked in front of the camera without any interruption. It was effortless for one person to hold a show.
"Click!"
"good!"
The director was very impressed and gave a thumbs up and praised: "You are so experienced and you can do it in one go!"
"There are so many things like this on TV. What do I, an old man, know? It's so silly. It's such a loss for you to invite me... Hahaha!"
The director had a sleek slicked back hair, a straight suit, and a red handkerchief in his jacket pocket. He looked like an old gentleman and asked: "Is the material enough? If it's not enough, let's record some more. I still have some.
The meaning is still unfinished.”
"Okay, but you can come and finish the work at a time when you can enjoy it!"
"Hahaha... your program is really good!"
The boss is gentle and charming, but he always laughs and laughs, which makes the painting style very funny and makes the staff laugh too.
So I recorded for another 20 minutes before calling it a day.
We boasted so much about the 10th anniversary last year, and now it’s time to implement them one by one. Maili Video mainly includes new UP owners, Professor Jin, Observer.com, etc. that have been launched one after another.
The bureau's program is called "Zhao Zhong Shuo" and the first episode is recorded today.
On the surface, he is free and unrestrained, fearless, but in fact, he is cunning and calculating. He spins a sentence eight times in his mind and knows what can and cannot be said.
"Thank you for your hard work! Thank you for your hard work!"
Yu Jiajia and Xu Meng, who had been waiting outside the court, showed up. Xu Meng also sent a bouquet of flowers. The bureau representative took it and said hahaha: "People only send flowers after they leave, why did you send them on the first day?"
?”
"The first issue will be sent to you, and the last issue will also be sent to you. Of course, I hope you will keep recording and there will be no last issue."
"You can't say for sure, I'm also a general..."
The bureau chief shook hands with the two of them half-jokingly, Wei Wei was surprised that it was not easy for two female entrepreneurs to be in charge of such a large company and website.
After chatting for a while, he left.
This person has a serious and unconventional aura, which makes people feel like taking a breath of spring breeze, making them feel happy both physically and mentally. Yu Jiajia really likes chatting with him.
Later, she and Xu Meng also left Beijing and Taiwan, and went to an office building near Tuanjie Lake together. The LOGO hanging on the building was: Mai Li!
The 99 headquarters has not yet been built, and more and more people are working in Maili Video. They have already moved out. Fortunately, it is not far away. It only takes five minutes to ride a small electric donkey.
Xu Meng is the CEO of Maili. Out of habit, she still likes to report to Yu Jiajia. She was brought out by Yu Jiajia. She is extraordinary. Mr. Yu was flirting with women outside, but finally returned to her.
After entering the office, Yu Jiajia kicked off her high heels, put on a pair of slippers, and lay down on the sofa.
Xu Meng served tea and water and got snacks. The two of them ate and talked about work. They didn't look like female entrepreneurs at all, but more like a get-together with best friends.
"The best-performing domestic dramas in the first quarter are all here, including "Country Love", "Jingxin Bubu", "Love Apartment", "Mao Liang 2", "Cliff", "The Legend of Zhen Huan", "Wulin Gaiden"..."
"When were "The Legend of Zhen Huan" and "Wulin Gaiden" released? How come they are still on the list?"
"Wow, you didn't know! There are always people watching these two shows, and hundreds of people are watching them at the same time in the middle of the night. This is called electronic mustard."
"Um?"
"Mr. Yao's name is that you always have to look at something when eating, otherwise the food will be boring."
“I can’t understand today’s young people!”
Yu Jiajia shook her head and continued to read the information.
The overseas dramas with the best results include "Jinyi 2", "Midnight Diner 2", "Housekeeper Mita", etc. Most of them are Japanese dramas, and the top one is "LEGAL HIGH" starring Sakai Masato and Aragaki Yui.
"This movie is so popular, we netizens call it Li Gouhei, and then call Yui Aragaki my wife!" Xu Meng said with a smile.
"..."
She didn't respond, and then watched the results of anime series, "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf", "Luo Xiaohei's War", "Unknown Flower Name", "Fate/Zero" Season 1, etc.
After scanning them all, I asked: "The mainland, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Japan, South Korea, Europe and the United States, the mainland and Japan have the largest audience. Are you planning to introduce more Japanese content?"
"It's more than that!"
Xu Meng became excited and said: "Now there is a word called ACG. Do you understand it?"
"I don't understand!"
"It's three-in-one animation, comics, and games. There's another name for it, the two-dimensional dimension. They're all imported from Japan. You know that, right?"
"Oh, I've heard of otaku."
Yu Jiajia sat down obediently, like a primary school student approaching her forties.
"Nowadays, two-dimensional culture is becoming more and more popular in China and has formed a very large group. For example, "Fate/Zero" was the most played game on the site last year. We didn't want to buy it at first, but many netizens signed a petition, so we decided to
Procured.”
With that said, Xu Meng clicked on "Fate/Zero".
Yu Jiajia stared at the computer screen, feeling like a cannonball. With a sudden explosion, an overwhelming barrage came and rolled past in front of her eyes. The content was unknown.
"Congratulations on discovering the treasure of the town station!"
"My King!!!"
"My stupid king!"
"Golden glitter!"
Alas!
Yu Jiajia leaned back subconsciously, but Xu Meng said vigorously: "This means that a group of people can summon heroic spirits to fight. The heroic spirits are all legendary figures in the history of various countries. The most popular one is the female version of King Arthur!"
"King Arthur, a female version?"
Yu Jiajia looked at the blond girl with a stupid hair on her head who was wielding a big sword. She didn't want to know at all, so she just asked: "How many views are there?"
"40 million!"
"That can be done!"
She instantly fell in love with this female version of King Arthur. As long as it can bring traffic, she can let Han Hong be the first female lead and Jin Xing be the second female lead. This is on par with Yao Yuan.
"I have already bought the second season of "Fate/Zero" and a bunch of Japanese anime. There are few two-dimensional websites in China. There is one called Station A and another called Station B. I don't know what the relationship is.
But Mai Li plans to develop a two-dimensional culture, and otakus have strong purchasing power!"
"That's true, I've heard some urban legends about Japanese otakus..."
Yu Jiajia nodded and said: "I don't understand this very well, and Yao Yuan doesn't seem to like it, but as long as you can make money, you can do it, I fully support it!"
