Kugou music should be familiar to everyone, even in the later life before Chen Hao's crossing, it is still one of the largest music portals in the mainland, and its official launch was in 2004!

Kugou Music is a digital music interactive service provider with highly technological innovation genes in China, and the lyrics are synchronized to word-for-word playback, providing online audition functions, etc., all of which are the first to be done by Kugou.

The predecessor of Kugou was called Sou Music Network, which was developed by Xie Zhenyu in 2000, but it encountered an Internet winter in 2001.

At that time, it was difficult for large Internet websites to make profits, and it was naturally even more difficult for small and medium-sized websites, so life was tormenting.

In 2004 this year, with the rise of Internet SP, Xie Zhenyu also began to get involved in the SP business, and he and many SP peers also obtained good income.

So, he and the entrepreneurial team registered a company for Sou Music Network and began commercial operation.

Soscrap.com is the earliest professional music search engine in China, and has quickly won the support of the majority of netizens, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the most famous music search engine in the industry.

Not only because Soscrap.com is professional enough and focuses on music search, but also because Qiandu has not launched Qiandu MP3 at the moment, and major portals do not provide music services.

As for Qianqian Jingting, Kuwo Music Box, etc., it has not yet come out, and there are basically no decent competitors.

Therefore, the search network quickly spread among young netizens, and its fame is getting bigger and bigger.

At the same time, Xie Zhenyu also developed a download software similar to Thunderbolt, Derabbit.

Because once you've searched for your favorite music, the next thing to do is undoubtedly download, which is completely complete.

Taking off the rabbit is more like Xie Zhenyu's "Thunderbolt" in a strategic sense, but if you compete with Thunderbolt, it is tantamount to jumping into the Red Sea, and Xie Zhenyu is more focused on the music client.

As a result, Xie Zhenyu officially developed Kugou in 2003 and officially launched it in 2004.

In less than 1 month since Kugou Music was launched, the number of online users has exceeded 10,000, and it is still growing rapidly.

In the field of music clients, Kugou Music has taken the lead and is gaining momentum.

And the first to mention Kugou was not Chen Hao himself, but Huo Shaowen!

Huo Shaowen has always been committed to the promotion of Chinese music, and after entering the new century, the sales of Chinese music albums are declining more and more, and the future of Chinese music has always been a problem that plagues all musicians.

In this regard, Huo Shaowen has a long-term vision, and the sales of physical albums are declining, so he has focused on digital music.

So I also pay attention to various music websites on the Internet, so I naturally know that Kugou exists.

And when Kugou had already shown rapid momentum, Huo Shaowen naturally didn't want to miss it, so he made this request with Chen Hao.

Chen Hao also learned through Huo Shaowen that Kugou had been established, so naturally he couldn't let it go, throw some money now, and it will be all blood in the future!

The key is that Huo Shaowen has a big enough reputation and status in the Chinese music industry, and with him coming forward, plus his own money, it should be smoother to win Ku Gou.

......

After reading the news of "2004 Haotian Makes Happy Girl", Chen Hao spent some time temporarily processing all the documents.

Then, he put it into the post-editing of "The Man Without a Name".

Before editing, Chen Hao naturally reviewed the original version of "The Man Without a Surname", and Chen Hao frowned a little after watching it.

The original version of "The Man Without a Name" is two and a half hours long, and it is also interspersed with explanations of many scientific concepts, which is more like the director's own talk, plus the problem of editing, which may not be very friendly to the audience.

The original version of "The Man Without a Name" is more like the director's self-congratulation, which is similar to the "director's version" in a nutshell, this version is completely in pursuit of the director's self-elaboration, expressing everything the director wants to tell.

If it encounters a Hollywood giant, it is estimated that it will probably be cut, because the film has a stronger philosophical meaning, more like a philosophical film and a literary film.

Correspondingly, the entertainment is reduced, and the box office may not be ideal.

And the worldview of this film is indeed a bit complicated, involving the butterfly effect, strings, parallel universes, entropy, etc., plus memories and flashbacks, so the audience may seem a little laborious.

Especially for the current mainland audience, they have not experienced the era of information explosion, and they have not been baptized by Hollywood blockbusters in this area many times, so they may not be able to understand.

It's too complicated, and it's likely to be like "Creed", where the audience feels like they might be a fool after watching it.

The end result is that everyone is not interested in the film and no longer buys it, even if you are a world-class movie god.

This is actually related to the director's ability to tell stories, "Inception" is actually not fully understood when everyone watched it for the first time, but it did not affect everyone's love and pursuit of it.

This is that the director has superb storytelling ability, and at the same time, it is entertaining enough, so that everyone can experience the most intuitive visual experience of watching movies.

At the same time, if you are a little brain-burning, making you unaware of it, or it is the right taste of brain-burning movie lovers, then word-of-mouth and box office will naturally explode.

Therefore, the original version of "The Man Without a Name" is indeed a classic of time and space collapse, with stronger philosophical and literary characteristics, and has also been shortlisted for the Golden Lion Award at the Venice Film Festival and won numerous awards.

But its box office performance is much worse.

Now there are three roads in front of Chen Hao, according to the original version, then there may be a lot of gains in terms of trophies, but the box office is estimated to be a little hanging.

Or re-edit it, break the story rhythm of the original movie, and come to a version of "The Man Without a Name 2.0".

Of course, there is a third way, that is, to edit two versions, that is, a so-called "director's version" and a "public version"!

The "Director's Edition" can remove some entertaining scenes and make them more literary and philosophical, and use them to participate in film festivals to compete for trophies.

The "public version" can delete certain scientific concepts, highlighting love and special effects, one is a theme that human beings can never avoid, and the other is the most intuitive visual enjoyment.

With the increase in the proportion of the two, the audience will not seem to be too struggling, and they can feel the fun of watching movies, and the box office will naturally be better.

After all, it is very difficult to perfectly combine literature and commerce, although there are many, but after all, they are a minority, and many world-class directors dare not say that every movie can do it.

Therefore, Chen Hao thinks that it is best to choose the third one and edit two versions.
