"Ashes of Time" is one of all Starlight's films in which Xiao Qian had no involvement except for the soundtrack.
This moved Ning Han very much.
"I know, this is your trust in me."
Xiao Qian spit out the chicken bones, which was obviously not what he meant.
"You misunderstood, I was just afraid of being embarrassed."
"What do you mean?"
Ning Han felt that the chicken wings were no longer fragrant.
Others at the dinner table also looked over.
"Boss, do you think the movie is not good?"
Xiao Qian hasn't answered yet, but Ning Han is anxious.
"My movie can win awards."
Xiao Qian tilted her head to look at him.
"Which do you think I care about more in terms of box office or honor?"
The answer was about to come out, and Ning Han was fuming.
"You damn capitalist."
Li Bingbing was very considerate and asked: "Boss, what should I do if this movie loses money?"
Unexpectedly, Xiao Qian actually had some ideas.
"If you lose money, just use your original team and shoot it again. Then we will catch up with New Year's Day and compete with Brother Xingxing's King of Destruction."
Zhou Xingxing was speechless.
"Boss, this is my first movie in my life. Don't mess with me!"
When it comes to Zhou Xingxing, Ning Hanke has something to say.
"Zhou Xingxing plans to make a movie based on my ideas. Aren't you afraid that he will lose money?"
Xiao Qian couldn't tell for sure.
"Who knows? What if it's not a loss?"
In his previous life, Zhou Xingxing's movies suffered huge losses, which caused his company to go bankrupt. But in this life, it's not necessarily the case.
After all, depending on where the movie exists, the audience will be different, so it might be a big hit.
Thinking about the crazy popularity the movie received in previous lives, Xiao Qian felt that if it worked well, it might be able to surpass "October Siege" at the box office.
Three quarters have passed since 2000, and we need to summarize the past and look forward to the future.
Senior executives from all walks of life came back from all over the world and gathered in the conference room.
Let’s talk about the task at hand first.
Xu Jiayi was the first to speak.
"She has been clamoring to return, but the delay has indeed been too long."
The last time she came back was a year and a half ago. As a popular girl group, fans would rebel if they never come back.
Although they have been working continuously for the past year and a half, their true calling is to be singers, so they naturally want to stand on the stage.
Xiao Qian also felt that it was a bit too much, so she said: "Well, let's schedule their schedule at the beginning of next year."
Xu Jiayi breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that she no longer had to be tortured by three little girls.
"The second thing is that a new idol group is about to be prepared."
After she, Starlight will launch its first male idol group.
The five of them, Xu Wenyang, have been training for nearly five years. They all have unique skills and are of the right age. If they delay any longer, their skills will be wasted.
Xu Jiayi didn't say anything, but Xiao Qian was also thinking about it.
"Okay, then let them come back from South Korea. From now on, you must gather the best forces and start preparing for their debut. In the middle of next year, this group will officially debut."
The one-year preparation period for his debut is enough to prove that Xiao Qian attaches great importance to it.
Among the singers Xingguang trained himself, in fact, in terms of strength alone, Xu Wenyang and the other five are the strongest. Not only can Tang Hua Leran not be able to compete with them, but neither can she.
For them, Xiao Qian is ambitious.
He wants to use this idol group to dominate the domestic idol market.
"Then the plan to go south to Moonlight will be postponed?"
There are too many singers in Starlight Music, which makes it difficult to arrange the plan. Xu Jiayi has a great headache.
Xiao Qian disagrees.
"Nanxing Moonlight is a folk singer. There is no need to group it with other people. They can come back whenever they want. You go back and ask them what they think. If they want to come back soon, let them come to me."
After saying this, Xiao Qian thought of something else and asked, "When will Tang Hua Leran come back?"
Tang Huale is in Japan and has been there for more than a year...
Speaking of this, Xu Jiayi was helpless.
"Japan is so welcoming and offers so much. To be honest, I even want them to stay in Japan."
It was originally created according to the style of the band, so it has received unprecedented popularity in Japan.
Japanese people seem to have an innate admiration for the culture of the Tang Dynasty, which has led to Tang Hua Le's fans in Japan being numerous.
In one and a half years, I traveled to the four islands of Japan and held 135 concerts. The concerts were sold out and it was hard to get a ticket.
Producers from all walks of life knelt down and begged, just asking them to appear on the show.
"Then we have to come back. We are not training singers for the Japanese."
Xiao Qian made the decision to let Tang Hualeran return to China early next year to prepare for his return.
In any case, locality is their foundation.
Now that we’ve talked about Starlight Music, it’s Starlight Video’s turn.
"At the beginning of next year, we have four TV series to be launched. In order to avoid competing with each other, we have made the following arrangements. In January, it will be CCTV's The Legend of the Condor Heroes. In February, it will be Young Bao Qingtian on Xiangnan Channel. In March, it will be Jingcheng Channel's Jia Shuo
Qianlong. But there are no plans for the second half of next year, so we must hurry up."
Wang Fei was very happy as he talked about it.
When someone else shoots a movie, how to distribute it is a big problem.
My legs were broken when I ran, my mouth was dry when I talked, my stomach was pierced by alcohol, I begged my grandpa to sue my grandma, and I had to pray for an unexpected accident.
It's not like Starlight's drama. Before the project was approved, all the TV stations rushed in and asked for it.
"Then the second half of next year will only be about Heaven and Dragon Slaying?"
"The Legend of Heaven and the Dragon Slayer" will start filming early next year and will not be broadcast until October in the second half of the year at the earliest.
As a result, Starlight's plans for next year will appear to be focused on the front and on the back.
The first half of the year was a good one, but the second half was a standout.
"Leave the plan to me, I will get it done before the end of the year."
Xiao Qian took over the responsibility, which made everyone breathe a sigh of relief. Having him in charge of film and television production is so reassuring.
"As for movies, Ashes of Time is scheduled to be released on National Day, Lord of Destruction is scheduled to be released on New Year's Day, and Sword and Sword will be filmed in Liaoning Province in December. This is our only plan for movies so far."
Wang Fei's tone was very serious, reminding Xiao Qian that he needed to work harder on movies.
Starlight has a big action movie project planned, which requires shooting thirty-four consecutive action movies. If investment is not increased and efficiency is not improved, it may take more than ten years to complete this project.
If that is the case, this plan will not be a good thing, but a burden.
"I know. Next year, we will launch three action movies."
Xiao Qian also felt a little delayed and decided to speed up.
And now the strength of Starlight Film and Television can support him to do this.
As a result, throughout 2001, Starlight Film and Television will launch at least five TV series and more than three movies. Such a production scale has already caught up with the eight major Hollywood companies.
Then came the starlight special effects.
Shi Weiguang attended the meeting as a boss for the first time and officially became one of the giants of Starlight Group.
"The first priority for Starlight Special Effects next year is to complete the establishment of the company. In addition, it is the research and development of video software. Because the copywriting given by Mr. Xiao is very complete, it is expected that in the middle of next year, there will be interviews with video technology that is beyond this era."
Xiao Qian attaches great importance to the video player.
Without this, there would be no way to build an online video website, and there would be no way to achieve the online development of the entertainment and cultural industry.
So he made a point.
"Video players and online videos must be developed and done well. During the 50th anniversary celebration of the National Day last year, our country achieved high-definition technology for the first time. This marks that high-definition technology has become more and more distant from our lives.
The closer we get. My request to you is to come up with video technology with independent intellectual property rights within two to three years, and the resolution must reach 720p and above."
Xiao Qian still remembers that when watching online videos in the early days of his previous life, the resolution was basically terrible. Until around 2008, the 720p high-definition mode became widely popular, which also promoted the development of online videos.
If Starlight Special Effects could complete the research and development of 720p high-definition technology before 2003 and apply it to Internet communication, he would be confident to create the largest online video empire in Asia.
In order to help speed up the starlight special effects, he contributed all the techniques he knew little about.
"I suggest you use the udp protocol mode during the research and development process. Compared with the tcp protocol and fttp protocol, the udp protocol will be more stable during the video transmission process. In addition, in order to ensure the order of video transmission,
Buffer design can be added.”
The transmission of network information is carried out in packets.
A video will be broken down into several packets, but the order of transmission is different from the order of playback.
This results in the possibility that the later part of the video time is transferred to the computer first, and the previous part is transferred later.
In this way, there is no need to watch the video.
In previous lives, buffering technology came into being to solve this problem.
By first creating a buffer file on the user's computer and intelligently adjusting the transmission of file packages to match the video time sequence, users can watch smooth and accurate videos.
Xiao Qian, a liberal arts novice, obviously didn't understand how to do it specifically.
He knew this only from reading various messy online novels. But now he told Shi Weiguang about it, and he did not hesitate to be a guiding light.
After all, streaming media technology has just started, and everything is still being explored. Even if you master a few more concepts, you can get ahead of it.
"Mr. Xiao, please rest assured. With your guidance, I think we will be able to come up with video technology that satisfies you in the second half of next year."
