Chapter six hundred and sixty seventh hug a golden doll
"Racing" had a good start with a box office of 8.2 million on its first day of release, and a whopping 33 million in the first three days. Although it was inferior to "Painted Skin" with a box office of over 50 million and ranked second in the weekly box office, because it coincided with the National Day Golden Week, the third
In two weeks, it topped the weekly box office with a box office of 61 million.
"Painted Skin" is also unabated, following closely behind again with a weekly box office of over 50 million. Throughout the National Day Golden Week, the two domestic films competed with each other, and all other released films were reduced to cannon fodder.
Although the current total box office of "Painted Skin" is far ahead with 140 million, the box office of 94 million in ten days makes "Racing" a foregone conclusion.
Ning Hao will undoubtedly become the fourth mainland director after Guoshi, Director Chen and Feng Xiaogang to have a box office of over 100 million. In fact, when "The Stone" was released two years ago, it was only 4 million short of box office, leaving Ning Hao with 100 million
The director missed the opportunity, but today two years later, he is undoubtedly well-deserved.
"Crash!"
Ning Hao, Han Sanye, Yu Dong, Huang Bo, Xu Guangtou and other main creators took small hammers and smashed an ice sculpture marked with the words 100000000.
"cheers!"
Today, Ning Hao is the absolute protagonist. Although he has just returned from a nationwide roadshow and cannot hide his tiredness, he is still very excited and smiles like a chrysanthemum.
Back then, when he was trying to trick He Xin into filming "Incense" with the thought of becoming famous, he probably never dreamed that such a day would come to him.
Even though he disdained the idea of buying box office tickets two years ago to advance himself into the ranks of billionaire directors, He Xin knew that this guy was always holding his breath.
Although the box office of "Painted Skin", which was released for 20 days, is close to 200 million US dollars, compared to the investment of 15 million US dollars, the production cost of "Racing" is only 10 million US dollars, and the box office content is undoubtedly higher.
Moreover, "Painted Skin", which originally had a box office of over 200 million in 19 days, is now facing the impact of "Racing", and is still stuck at the 200 million mark, just like last year's Lunar New Year films "Vote" and "Assembly Number"
The situation between the two tigers is very similar.
However, both He Xin and Ning Hao are self-aware. It is obviously unrealistic to replicate the box office miracle of "Assembly Number" and surpass "Painted Skin" at the box office in one fell swoop.
…
"Hey, hey, stop! Stop! This thing is really easy to use. It hovers in the air and the picture doesn't shake at all... Okay, let's do the overhead shot again..."
"Be careful, don't go too far, or the lens will fall!"
"It's okay. This one is very sensitive, and there's a protective frame on the outside. Even if it falls, it won't hit the lens."
Outside, Ning Hao and Du Jie were like two children who got a new toy, controlling the drone with the camera mounted on it. However, their operation was not very skillful, and the drone flew crookedly in the air.
"Mr. He, you see, this camera lens is equivalent to human eyes, the driver is the hands and feet, and our flight control system is equivalent to the brain. The most advanced part of our flight control system is the flight control algorithm, which solves the problem of flight
Balanced drive, while allowing the motor to self-track balance and dampen vibrations, allows the drone to fly more smoothly. The flight control without autonomous algorithms currently on the market is meaningless..." Standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling glass window of the office on the second floor
Wang Taotao introduced He Xin in high spirits.
Although He Xin didn't understand it at all, and looking at the drone flying up and down outside the window at this time, it still looked a bit bulky and ugly, but he still couldn't hide the joy on his face and kept saying: "
Okay, okay, now I don't have to worry anymore. Taotao, I keep my word. We will sign the contract when the lawyer comes. You can get two million first. If the money is not enough in the future? Just say it? As long as it is within ten million? I will.
I can help you think of a solution."
Wang Taotao, who has always been proud and arrogant, looked excited and slightly uncomfortable at the same time. This was the first angel investment he had received.
That's right, it's angel investment.
The two had communicated on investment matters many times on the phone before. The first investment was two million? Will there be capital investment every year in the future? And he only needed 10% of Dajiang Innovation's shares. The only condition was his 10%.
Will the shares be diluted by any future financing as original shares? Correspondingly, he will also give up a series of shareholder rights such as voting rights.
Frankly speaking, Wang Taotao himself thinks that the 10% of shares that He Xin wants is too small. He can accept even 20%. And Teacher He has something to say first? He will never reach out randomly.
Provide appropriate support within the scope of capabilities.
This is undoubtedly good news for a pure technical genius like Wang Taotao. Because he has contacted many investors before. In addition to demanding visible returns, they often think that they are awesome and like to fool around.
, the layman guides the expert.
"Teacher He, actually using a camera as the eyes of a drone is the most basic first step? A real drone not only relies on cameras as eyes, but also radars, sensors and cameras to form a drone.
The vision system. Then the flight control system is the decision-making layer that needs to be composed of chips and algorithms. Finally, it feeds back to the execution layer such as electronic drive, electronic steering and electronic braking. Only in this way can the drone be built into a real aerial robot. But He
Teacher, there is still a long way to go to achieve this goal, and continuous investment is required. In addition, there may be...well, there may be a risk of failure in the end."
Since the congratulations were so generous, Wang Taotao was moved and told him frankly.
He Xin waved his hands and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter, even if you tell me this, I don't understand it. Our Dajiang Innovation, since it is innovation, is to create unknown things, and failure is also normal. I told you this a long time ago
However, I don’t understand what you are doing, but I am very interested in it, so all I can do is provide financial support.”
"..."
The touching words have already been said, and saying too much is neither interesting nor valuable. Wang Taotao took off his glasses, rubbed his astringent eyes, put his glasses back on, solemnly nodded and said: "Teacher He, I tried my best not to let you
disappointment."
"Okay! Come on, come on, don't worry about them, let's have tea. Oh, by the way, you must not have watched Ning Hao's "Racing" yet. I'll go to the video room downstairs in a while and show you a special show, how about it?
"
Teacher He is in a very good mood. He doesn't understand anything about high technology, but he knows that despite the fact that the top ten richest people in the past two years are almost all real estate owners, in a few years they will be overtaken by the Internet high-tech giants.
Replace one by one.
There was no way to invest in anything else. Since Wang Taotao threw himself into the trap, he accepted it. As long as the contract was signed later, it would be like holding a golden baby.
Wang Taotao said so much just now, and he knew it well. In his previous life, he first came into contact with drones from two guys from the design institute. It was seven or eight years later, and he invested several million every year. Teacher He only
The pension he paid at that time would be worth tens of billions in the future, and his 10%...
Just think about it, you’ll wake up laughing from your dreams!
"Oh, by the way, how much does the one they play outside cost?"
"Well, I made a total of two this time, and the cost was less than 50,000 yuan. Teacher He, the 200,000 yuan I took before..."
He Xin shook his head, "That's not what I asked."
As he spoke, he pondered for a moment and said: "This shouldn't be calculated like this, right? And the flight control system above. If you include the development costs, then maybe one of them costs 200,000, right?"
When Wang Taotao heard this, he couldn't help but smile bitterly and said: "If this is really the calculation, maybe even two million won't be enough."
"No, no, no, two million is definitely not enough. I think two hundred thousand is about the same."
"Teacher He, what are you..."
Before Wang Taotao finished speaking, the office door was suddenly pushed open, and Ning Hao's hurried voice was heard: "A Xin, this drone is great, can we order two more?"
He Xin smiled meaningfully at Wang Taotao, then raised his head and said to Ning Hao: "The two planes Taotao brought this time were originally ours. After filming "The Wind", you can use them and be done with them."
"No, no, no, I can't wait. Think about the endless smoke in the desert. In the past, I have been thinking about how to use a big crane to capture that vast momentum. Now with this drone,
All problems have been solved. No, I can't wait until you finish filming "The Wind", I must go to the desert to try it before the Chinese New Year!" Ning Hao said eagerly.
He Xin ignored him and turned around to ask Wang Taotao: "If we mass produce this, how many units can we make in a month?"
Wang Taotao roughly knew the purpose of He Xin, his eyes lit up, and after calculating, he hurriedly said: "We are custom-made these two units now. If they are really mass-produced, it may be less at first, but we can make one in a month.
Thousands of units will still be no problem.”
When He Xin heard that there were thousands of units, He Xin was startled and hurriedly said: "This is too much. Let's make...a hundred units first."
