Chapter 13: A Study of Lu Xiaoran (4/6)

Lu Qibai denied that he had transformed into an investor...

does not belong to any TMT venture capital circle, although he has invested in ByteDance and Station B, but he is all for the layout of the film ecosystem.

Make it clear that making content is your main business.

This is not the same as Huayi, Huang Zhongjun even organized several 'investor exchange meetings', saying to the outside world that 'investment is attractive, and the Internet is the direction we value very much', and he is also making trouble in the TMT venture capital circle, leading the A round of financing of mobile game publisher Salted Fish Games...

"Film is different from other fields, it takes a cycle! So much capital is pouring in crazily, it takes time to digest, and this cycle will take 1-2 years. So, there will be a lot of movies released in these two years!"

Then, as more and more fragmented time increases, the cost of time has become more of a concern for the audience. This is reflected in daily cultural consumption, which is reflected in the transformation of the audience's consumption demand to the demand for quality. ”

"Audiences have become more demanding, more concerned and more critical than they used to be, because they measure whether the time is worth it. ”

"I think after 2016, if you don't really think it's worth going to the cinema for two or three hours, you probably won't go to the cinema. ”

"This kind of situation will make the audience pay more attention to the movie itself, we talk about making movies, content is king, that's what it means!"

"Genre and industrialization must be the future direction of Chinese films. ”

"Look, when it comes to movies, I know a lot, and I'm really just investing in today's headlines!"

The reporter from Caijing smiled, and then asked one last question: "Which channel or content do you value more?"

"With the development of the Internet, the cost of monopolizing channels is getting higher and higher, and the importance of content will become more prominent, I always firmly believe that as long as the content I make is good content, there is no shortage of channels!

......

With a long sigh of relief, I finally ended this unique interview...

This time it was really brainy!

I'm afraid I'll be taken into the pit...

Although there are many questions that people ask, Lu Xiaoran doesn't want to answer, but he must answer...

In fact, an interview is the meaning of mutual communication.

There are exchanges that come and go, and pure praise has a meaning of hanging hair!

made a call to Zhang Yiming and asked him to keep a low profile recently, and don't always brag about the superiority of the algorithm.

Also, maintain a certain degree of political sensitivity.

He just made a suggestion, whether Zhang Yiming will take it to heart, it's hard to say.

After all, two years later, Toutiao's valuation reached $11.2 billion, Zhang Yiming is ambitious, feels invincible in the world, and is cold in high places, and his mouth may be scooped...

After these things were done, Lu Xiaoran went home.

It was already eight o'clock in the evening, and as soon as I opened the door, I found two more pairs of women's shoes in the shoe rack, so I asked, "Who is here?"

As soon as the words fell, there was a sound of footsteps in the room, followed by Chen Zhixi, Zhong Lifang and Tangtang: "You are back!"

“... Haven't you been doing a lot lately!"

In order to get this done, Boss Lu spent about five days staying in ByteDance and coming back late every day...

Tangtang asked, "When did you invest in today's headlines?"

"In just 12 years, when ByteDance was first founded, I was an angel round investor!"

I opened the refrigerator, took out a bottle of ice water, and drank two sips, and then I recovered a little: "What's wrong?"

"Not really, I just think you're so good!"

“... What's so awesome?"

Zhong Lifang was very interested: "They said that today's headlines are aimed at Baidu, and they will definitely surpass Baidu in the future?"

“... I don't know. ”

"When will the Series B financing be launched? We also want to participate!"

“... TMT venture capital, not you can invest if you want to, the other party also needs to consider the investor's connections and strength, if you are twist vine, Ma Yun, of course you can invest, but unfortunately, you are not!"

Boss Lu doesn't want to talk about this topic, in fact, he himself doesn't know much about the TMT circle - he's just a director, the kind in the entertainment industry...

"Has the script of Operation Mekong been reviewed?"

“... No, it was beaten back. ”

“... Leave it alone, shoot it first!"

The script of "Operation Mekong" has more than fifty revisions...

'No torture of prisoners', 'No police smoking', 'No torture?'...

Then I'll shoot an egg?

First of all, why did Lu Xiaoran shoot "Mekong"?

The movie should be good with outstanding values, scripts, and acting skills, rather than being customized specifically for fans of stars.

Art can proclaim its own values without fear of being castrated.

He just wants to tell the market that big-budget commercial films are king, don't always be obsessed with so-called idols!

Of course, it's useless now, right away, "Small Times 3", "The Bright Moon Empire of the Hundred Hair Witch", and "There Is a Place Only We Know" will slap him in the face...

"By the way, the heroine must have smart short hair, did you tell the actor?"

“... Anyway, your movie, not to mention short hair, even bald heads are rushed to get on!"

Boss Lu was stunned and shook his head: "You are too exaggerated." ”

"Do you know what those little actors can do in order to be on the show?"

“... Active unspoken rules?"

"They'll give money!"

“... Give me money? I ask them to act, and they give me money?"

Chen Zhixi nodded: "It's true, not only don't you want to be paid, but you also offered a price of 2 million..."

“... The world is crazy!"

"You don't understand, now as long as you are famous, you can be among the second tier in an instant, and you will have a seven-figure income from a variety show!"

"Okay, you guys talk first, I'll go upstairs to rest, and I have to catch a plane to Yunnan tomorrow morning..."

......

Lu Qibai went upstairs, and the three of them looked at his back with different faces.

How to say it...

I was a little shocked, first a shareholder of Netflix, and now a major shareholder of Toutiao, I can't see through him!

After all, today's headlines are separated by oranges by 800 zhang, and they are not next to each other at all, so why is it related?

When it comes to investing in Netflix, he said that he is optimistic about Netflix's development potential, and he uses his own money...

Chen Zhixi suddenly asked: "Sugar Chips, how much is your man worth?"

“... I don't know. ”

Tangtang pondered for a moment, she really didn't seem to know Boss Lu's worth...

"Hurun Rich List" and "Forbes China Rich List" are just references, how can it be possible to accurately calculate Lu Xiaoran's worth?

Zhong Lifang silently added: "I only know that his worth will rise by at least four billion after a while!"

“... What's wrong?"

"Orange Pan Entertainment (formerly the Orange Variety Show Department) will be listed in two months, on the GEM, with a valuation of 20 billion!"

“... How much does he own?"

"We hold a total of 51 percent of the shares, and he holds 42 percent of the 51 percent, you count..."

Tangtang silently took out her phone: "42.84?"

"Almost..."

Chen Zhixi asked gossipingly: "They say that men become bad when they are rich, how do I feel that Boss Lu seems to have not changed much?"

"Hasn't changed much? Last time, the Director's Association publicly bombarded the Beijing circle and Huayi, and we cleaned up the stall!"

“... I mean, has he become bad? He is innocent, and I haven't heard any bad comments until now!"

Zhong Lifang suddenly looked at Tangtang: "You are really capable!"

"Huh?"

"Can manage men so well!"
