He didn’t stay too long during his leisurely days back in the capital. With the success of the “Rising China” series, the newly established Souhu Video Network came to him to discuss the feasibility of making a micro-movie.
In fact, in February of this year, when Souhu Video was established, there was quite a feeling in the industry that a storm was coming. Unlike the previous Yangtao.com and Youku.com, Souhu was one of the top Internet companies in the country with a large amount of funds.
adequate.
This matter must be viewed in conjunction with a certain rumor. After the Olympics, Shangfeng began to focus on copyright protection. There is news that this year, the Tort Liability Law that has been under discussion will be implemented, and copyright will be included in the legal rights and interests of civil subjects.
protected range.
Yes, there was no clear legal protection before.
At best, Souhu may purchase a large number of films to enrich its film library and provide new channels for repayment of movies and TV shows after they are released; at worst, if Souhu uses piracy to open the way, as Souhu plans to do
The size will be a nightmare for all film and television production companies.
On the other side of the ocean, in the United States, there is a business model that can be used for reference, which is to rent out genuine discs of released movies and provide some streaming media resources. Although Netflix, the provider of this service, is doubted by domestic elites whether it can survive,
But it does work hard to maintain its business, and it doesn't look like it will collapse anytime soon.
On the contrary, it is doubtful whether domestic video websites that are accustomed to piracy are willing to condescend to imitate.
After receiving the email, Fang Yi went to Souhu's headquarters, which is also in the capital.
After waiting at the front desk for a while, a man who seemed to have good grades came down to pick him up.
Big capitalist. Zhang Chaoyang.
Graduated from Shuimu School, he is a real scroll king. He returned to China and founded a company with a current market value of billions of dollars. He was the first Chinese Internet concept stock to be listed on the U.S. stock market. Because he has a billionaire and is unmarried, southern newspapers called him "the last diamond"
"Wang Laowu".
Fang Yi, who doesn't like to socialize, also extended his hand, "Mr. Zhang. I didn't expect you to come to talk in person."
But when he saw that, Zhang Chaoyang was stunned for a moment, "Fang Yi, is it... someone in your family has done business?"
"without."
"Oh...I mean, you don't look...like an actor."
After that, Zhang Chaoyang looked Fang Yi up and down. He was wearing ordinary clothes, a white shirt and gray and black pants, and a shoulder bag slung across his chest. However, Zhang Chaoyang felt that Fang Yi was looking at him a little bit.
So bland.
This kind of blandness was the look he often saw from investors when he returned to China many years ago to solicit investments.
Isn’t it too mysterious?
"Maybe it's because you are too handsome, and I see all the good things... in you."
Fang Yi followed Zhang Chaoyang into the elevator and fell behind. As for Mr. Zhang, he subconsciously held the door for him. The moment he walked in, Mr. Zhang realized what he was doing and spread it out to look at his hands, "You are indeed so handsome.
So... so handsome and magical."
"Excellent."
Zhang Chaoyang said, "But, you are really handsome... We men also think we are handsome, so we want to find you."
"For our video website to be famous, we have to make our own stuff. I don't like copying, it's boring... Let's make a blockbuster movie. I can't stand it. People in the company suggested that I make a short film...
…”
"There is a guy named Dong Da Peng. You may not know him, but it doesn't matter. He wants to make a sitcom, you know, the kind that lasts for a few minutes..."
Exited the elevator door.
This floor turned out to be a special world. Only Zhang Chaoyang could enjoy it. The huge floor-to-ceiling windows could see the busy traffic in the capital. Zhang Chaoyang was a little happy when he saw Fang Yi's sight, "How about... I must install this window at that time."
Yes, come on, let me show you the lamp I bought, which costs more than 30 million yuan. Do you want to open it and take a look..."
Before Fang Yi could answer, Zhang Chaoyang turned on the light. Even though it was broad daylight, he could still see the luxury.
Fang Yi followed with a few polite words.
Zhang Chaoyang came to see the young actor Fang Yi. Although he thought it was strange at the time, after thinking about it, it was not so strange. Zhang Chaoyang is relatively rare. He especially likes to hang out with big guys in the entertainment industry. Others don't think highly of the entertainment industry.
It’s a small pool, but Mr. Zhang likes it very much.
Last year, at the Souhu Annual Gala, Liu Tianxian won the Popular Search Award. In addition, all the celebrities who came to show their respects also received awards. Mr. Zhang took a family photo with them and gave a thumbs up in joy.
Souhu's annual grand ceremony basically has no influence. It can be said that Lao Zhang satisfies his own happiness.
Zhang Chaoyang continued to talk about the micro-film, "Our company needs to find capable artists and directors. At the same time, they cannot be traditional commercial directors... Treat me as a boss and ask me to spend hundreds of millions to make movies.
It's not that stupid; our company has ranked the current potential stars, and you are the most suitable."
Fang Yi said, "Where is Dong Da Peng?"
"We were just established, and we only had money to build a brand series. At the shareholders' meeting, Dong Dapeng took out his business plan and script... He spoke very hard, but none of us could understand it, and we didn't find it funny...
...But after seeing your photo, I saw your person again today. Dong Dapeng came to my place again in the morning. I still remember his appearance...so I think you are more reliable."
Fang Yi felt sorry for the man named Dong Da Peng for a few seconds.
"Of course, there is another reason, which I can't say. In fact, this is the most important thing to me... but it won't be effective if I say it."
Zhang Chaoyang stopped talking, seeing that Fang Yi had no intention of continuing to ask, he said, "As for the micro-movie, based on the number of views online, it is our first time to do it, and we have no experience, so it may be a bit rough... One hundred thousand hits, that's it.
When you spend money to make money, if you work up to one million and above, every additional million will be counted as ten thousand yuan for you; if you work up to ten million... that's impossible. If it really is that much, I
I will send you a red envelope personally."
"Oh, hundreds of thousands, hundreds of thousands, hundreds of thousands... There is also a way to calculate money for such loose items. I can't remember it clearly in the contract. You can find it yourself. Also
, our series of films does not plan to put advertisements, so there is no profit sharing between both parties."
Fang Yi made an assessment in his mind.
Asked, "This little money is not worth it for you, Mr. Zhang, to do it yourself."
Zhang Chaoyang narrowed his eyes and expressed his affirmation, "I just want to see you and get angry."
"What's the meaning?"
"You can't tell me this."
Zhang Chaoyang stood up and said, "That's about it. If you are interested, I will teach you physics. Recently, I have wanted to be a teacher, a rural teacher, but teaching ordinary people, I feel no sense of accomplishment. Fang Yi, do you want to
Do you want to listen?"
"In no mood."
"Oh, as expected of you."
Zhang Chaoyang pulled out a writing board from nowhere and said, "I asked Dapeng to listen to it. So what do you mean, do you agree to make a movie?"
