Chapter 158: The Round Table (5/6)

In fact, after ByteDance's D round of financing came out, Lu Xiaoran was on Weibo's hot search...

ByteDance is valued at $11 billion, and Lu Xiaoran's worth has risen by nearly $20 billion...

What is a great investor?

These are God-given eyes, in comparison, Wang's ex-husband is a fart!

500 million has been playing for so long before it is valued at 5 billion...

Of course, the hot search just came out, so Lu Xiaoran's team withdrew - he doesn't mix with the investment circle, so there is no need to be too public...

The main thing is that it's not yet time to publicize it - Lao Wang hasn't yet reached the time to cut the meat!

Netflix's market value has risen to $120 billion, and according to the big golden retriever, Netflix's market value will rise to $160 billion next year, and the stock price is approaching $400 per share!

Lu Xiaoran spent $800 million that year, and he started it when Netflix was worth $7 billion!

Of course, Lu Xiaoran cashed out all at once, which could cause the stock price to plummet, so he was ready to resell to Comcast, the second largest telecom operator in North America...

Equivalent to China Unicom...

Comcast has always wanted to enter Hollywood, and the big golden retriever said that Disney's acquisition of 21st Century Fox is Comcast's biggest competitor.

With a quality company like Netflix, Comcast must be interested!

Lu Xiaoran is pondering how much premium it is appropriate to sell the shares in his hand...

......

Back to the film market, on the 25th, "Spy 5" and "Ice Age 5" were released...

It stands to reason that these two Hollywood blockbusters have the foundation of their predecessors, and the box office results should be very good... Right?

Thinking too much, the former was 56 million on the first day, the latter was 46 million, on the 22nd day of the release of "Dear", a single-day daily revenue of 19 million, "Apostle Walker", a single-day box office of 9.8 million, "Tomb Robbery Notes" 3.2 million, plus 1.4 million for "A Smile is Alluring"...

The entire market is only 150 million...

It's already a new high!

The previous week, the market was so low that I couldn't watch it - "Dear" occupied the top spot in the box office list for 19 consecutive days, and the cumulative box office was how much: 1.086 billion...

You must know that fifteen days after the release of this movie, the box office has already exceeded one billion!

In the next four days, it took 86 million, and... actually occupied the top spot in the box office charts?

As a result, a bunch of media began to discuss the 'inflection point theory'...

The so-called inflection point is the meaning of the market downhill.

And there is some hustle and bustle...

Many people are asking Lu Xiaoran - because this is the argument he put forward at the Shanghai Film Festival!

Lu Xiaoran needs to explain to the outside world...

Then he chose "Round Table Pie".

"Round Table Pie" is a video program cooperated by You Ku and Ideal Country, which is in the style of cultural programs, similar to Liang Wendao's "One Thousand and One Nights", Ma Shifang's "I Heard", Chen Danqing's "Partial"...

The third largest shareholder of Orange Image is Ali Venture Capital, and after Ahri acquired Youku, he has always wanted to cooperate with Orange.

Several suspense dramas starring Little Orange are ready to be broadcast on Youku, such as "Chasing the Murderer in the White Night", "Life on Mars", "Cold Case"...

Of course, these are not the reasons why Lu Xiaoran chose "Round Table Pie" - he likes Dou Wentao a lot!

In fact, every profession has occupational diseases.

Those who engage in news are exposed to a lot of negative news in society, and it is easy to think of people astray.

It's the same for those who engage in literature, if you write about too normal people, maybe no one will read it, usually there will be artistic exaggeration, long-term artistic exaggeration, resulting in a certain distortion of their memory and understanding of the world, once you are different from his values, you are the extreme left or extreme right, and then you will be deducted!

Dou Wentao's values are very positive!

"Round Table Pie" heard that Lu Xiaoran was coming, so he hurriedly coded people and invited Liang Wendao and Ma Jiahui...

originally wanted to invite Ma Weidu, but Lu Xiaoran had always had a bad relationship with those people, so he still forgot it.

The recording took place in Beijing.

Lu Xiaoran went backstage, first talked to the host for a few words, and then compared the script...

"It's okay, just ask. ”

Lu Xiaoran is very casual...

He has nothing to say to anyone!

......

In the bright tea room, Dou Wentao struck a match to light the incense, and then introduced: "Today we have invited a great filmmaker, come, we welcome Mr. Lu Xiaoran Lu..."

"Don't, just call me Xiaoran, or call me director. ”

“... You're generally in the company, how do they call you?"

"Call me boss... But most people still call me director when they see me..."

Liang Wendao interjected: "Don't even shout your surname?"

"Yes... But when I'm with Director Amou, I still add my last name!"

"Director Amou?"

"Zhang Yimou, the name Amou was called by me, we often gossip a lot of directors in private, that time I posted on Weibo, I didn't pay attention, so I wrote a 'Congratulations to Amou...', and then called it away..."

Dou Wentao opened the topic: "You seem to have publicly said that your favorite domestic director is Zhang Yimou, what do you like about him?"

“... His technique, if you look at his films, almost every one of them has something new, except for "Hero" and "Ambush on All Sides", those two are repetitive..."

"Technique?"

Lu Xiaoran replied: "Composition, lighting, photographic aesthetics... It is very inspiring to the director, other directors, especially Wang Xiaoshuai and Jia Zhangke, are always long shots and natural light, which is the most basic entry method!"

"But Wen Dao likes Jia Zhangke very much..."

“... It's not that Jia Zhangke's movies are bad, I also watched "The Old Man of Mountains and Rivers" and "The Good Man of the Three Gorges", which is quite touching, but... The film technique is indeed too simple!"

After thinking about it, he added: "I didn't say this, it was said by Kiutani, a Cannes filmmaker, who said that Wang Xiaoshuai and Jia Zhangke have not made progress for more than ten years, and they still make one theme, compared to them, the film festival would rather promote Thai and Filipino films..."

Liang Wendao was about to speak, but Dou Wentao interrupted him: "So they all say that Lu Xiaoran is straightforward, what do you say!"

"This is not a live broadcast, if you can't talk about it, you can just cut it out when the time comes!"

Ma Jiahui started a topic: "... You seem to be very resistant to making literary films?"

Director Lu shook his head: "How is it possible, I have also made literary films myself, "Fireworks in the Day", and won an award!"

"Then why are you so resistant to the Golden Horse Awards?"

Waiting here...

Lu Xiaoran thought for a moment, and then replied: "... I think that film awards should be for mainstream films, for the progress of Chinese films, but now, it has completely become a venue for a group of people to add their own people, and the selection criteria completely look down on commercial films... I don't like it, so I just don't go!"

Of course, Lu Xiaoran can not go, but if he doesn't go, it proves that the Golden Horse Award is not the first prize in the circle!

The gang is in a hurry...

jumped up and down, and even wanted the film bureau to put pressure on him, but Lu Xiaoran didn't buy it at all...

Of course, even if he participates in the Golden Rooster Awards, many people still think that the Golden Rooster is very low

"Then what do you think of Assassin Nie Yinniang?"
