Chapter 315: The 'Blue Battalion' vs. the 'Green Battalion' in the United States
In front of a white pickup truck, the two men looked at each other in a strange way.
"I know it's you!" Gyllenhaal pointed a revolver at the 'boomer' Michael Ardennes.
"How can you know everything?" said Michael Arden, his expression in disbelief.
"OK!" Wu Xiang shouted, and then he had to adjust the angle of the camera now, because in the next scene, Michael Arden's Derek Frost, the terrorist who planted the bomb, would pull open the car door so that Gyllenhaal could see the 'artwork' in the car.
Wu Xiang has arrived in the United States, and the entire crew has also started the final location shooting of "Source Code".
The whole work is still very smooth, there is nothing difficult about this movie itself, the difficult part is her own creativity, as for the shooting, it is actually quite simple.
You know, in the original version, a lot of computer stunts were actually used, but the cost of this movie was controlled at 30 million US dollars, which can already be said to be a miracle for a movie with big stars.
The more difficult part is to shoot the scene outside the train, because it has been indoors before, which gives the actors a relatively large sense of disobedience after coming outdoors all of a sudden, and it is also necessary to remember that this movie is a 'crossing' movie, and the previous pictures are constantly repeated, which requires the new scenes to be perfectly combined with the previous ones.
But fortunately, Wu Xiang took this into account, and he brought some of the finished films. Shoot for the film, you can't go wrong that way.
The filming work in the United States is still very smooth. Source Code should be completed ahead of schedule.
Of course, there are many, many jobs after the movie is completed, such as computer stunts, which often take up a lot of time for Hollywood movies, and some even take longer than the shooting time.
The real place to burn money is here!
But fortunately, Wu Xiang had already negotiated with Industrial Light and Magic. Give more money, but we need to arrange for a few of our people to come and intern.
Give more money!
Therefore, Wu Xiang's previous vaccinations. That's all necessary, if these guys really stay in the United States and don't come back, won't all the money be wasted?
They can't pay for it, and you can still kill them?
Anyway, everything that needs to be done has been done, if these guys still don't give themselves face. Lai is not leaving this place. Then Wu Xiang didn't have a problem.
Wu Xiang came back to the United States, not only to make films, but also to have another job.
After Source Code was finished, Wu Xiang left the Windy City of Chicago and flew straight to the West Coast, where there was a difficult negotiation that required him to try his luck.
In February 2005, there was a company called PayPal, which was like payment insurance in the United States. However, they would have wanted to do business in our country. But the result was destined to be tragic, so they fired all the members of the company's China division, including Chad Hurley, Chen Shijun, and Gard Karim.
This individual is unemployed, you must know that unemployment in the United States is not a joke, Americans do not save, once they lose their jobs, it means that they do not know where to solve the next meal.
So, these three people worked together to survive, but they didn't know who was so bored and couldn't eat, but they still wanted to share something like audio, video and so on.
This is the whole story of the birth of the YOU-TUBE website, some of which are strange and some of which are speechless.
Why do you want to say this site?
It's very simple, that's what Wu Xiang went to negotiate this time, it's this website, and the person he wants to contact is Chen Shijun!
Chen Shijun, as you can hear from his name, is a Chinese-American, born on Treasure Island, but, like many smart people on Treasure Island, he came to the United States and then did not go back.
According to the general understanding, everyone is Chinese, and this deal should be easier to negotiate, but this negotiation has reached an impasse.
As far as a reborn person is concerned, for a company like YOU-TUBE, he will naturally not let it go, and the same is true for Wu Xiang, in 05 years, Wu Xiang gave Ma Hua an idea, and asked him to find someone to contact Chen Shijun, hoping to acquire his company.
The price was very small at the time, that's for sure.
But at that time, Ma Huateng felt that such a small company could do much to make such a small company?
Let's just share videos and music, this thing has very little money, it's very expensive!
That's right, as far as the current YOU-TUBE is concerned, the videos it shares are no more than 15 minutes, and such a low standard requires a huge amount of investment.
Not only did Ma Huateng think so, but later Wu Xiang also found Lao Ma in Hangzhou and gave him a bad idea to buy the company.
Ma Jun himself has no money, and if he wants to buy other companies, he first has to find someone else, this person is Yang Zhiyuan, yes, the founder and CEO of YAHOO.
Yang Zhiyuan is also from Baodao, it stands to reason that he and Chen Shijun should be easier to talk to, everyone is a fellow countryman.
But as a result, this fellow did not become a help, but became an obstacle.
What's going on? It all started in 1949.
You must know that Lao Chiang was defeated and retreated to the treasure island in 1949, and since then he has been dreaming of counterattacking the mainland. But you must know that there were originally inhabitants on the treasure island, and although these inhabitants had lived on this island before, they were from this island.
The islanders and the provincials are two different concepts, and they can't even be said in terms of ethnic minorities, or even race.
Where can it be?
There is an event, which is the cause of the male protagonist running to the mainland in the story of "The Ballad of Yunshui", the '228' incident. This incident was that at that time, people from other provinces entered the treasure island, but Lao Chiang's army had not yet entered. As a result, the people of the island began to kill these people from other provinces!
Killing, indeed. Or more ruthless than killing, it can be called slaughter.
Of course, there are also theories about the cause of this incident, and the skinheads are also a bit excessive, but the time of this incident is 47 years, and the large army of the skinheads is still on the mainland at this time, so. It can also be said that it gave the people of the island a chance.
This incident may only be mentioned in the history books, but in fact, the impact is extremely far-reaching. Later, the 'green camp' was basically supported by the people of the island, while the people from other provinces supported the 'blue camp', and the blue and green sky was fighting. If you have nothing to do, you will stage an all-out military exercise in the Legislative Yuan......
Yang Zhiyuan is from another province. Chen Shijun is a native of the island.
In fact, this matter can be seen from the faces of the two of them, Yang Zhiyuan has very obvious characteristics of mainlanders, while Chen Shijun is more like people from Southeast Asian countries such as the Philippines.
It's a pity that although Wu Xiang is a reborn, he is really not good at looking at his face.
One blue and one green, they finally jumped out of the island, but they fought again in the United States.
It doesn't matter if it's a fight. YOU-TUBE is a company that is growing so fast that it's like you're on a rocket.
At the end of '05. The bid was only $100 million, and now, in October '06, $1 billion is no longer on the table.
Wu Xiang is too busy, if he can concentrate on talking about this acquisition, it may be successful, he is a reborn, but he can't do such a project all day long, he has to film. So, when he came back to the United States, Wu Xiang made an appointment with Chen Shijun, and Wu Xiang had to make a final effort to acquire YOU-TUBE!
SO NOW THAT YOU-TUBE IS SO EXPENSIVE, WHY DID WU XIANG BUY THIS COMPANY?
Chen Shijun is also asking this question.
"It's very simple, because I figured out a new way to spread the culture of our motherland, to let the world know us, to get to know us again, instead of being like before, in the eyes of Westerners, we are always with a mustache, a money rat tail on our heads, and a stiff Cantonese or Cantonese English. ”
That's right, this is Wu Xiang's big goal, of course, he also has a purpose, that is, to make YOU-TUBE truly the world's largest and most successful video website, not the oil turtle that can't be covered by a large area.
Wu Xiang also has a small purpose, that is, he hopes to spread his movies through guòYOU-TUBE, especially the "cutest person"!
Wu Xiang used countless saliva, but the American film companies just didn't agree, of course, they also have difficulties, that is, such a film can't pass the review of the relevant American agencies.
They don't even need to take it for review, they know the result, it seems that the filmmakers should be very experienced.
But YOU-TUBE is different, this is a new medium, a new means, can use the platform guò to bring Wu Xiang's films to the United States!
Doesn't anyone care about the movies on the Internet?
Yes, but there are loopholes to exploit, and in fact, the relevant regulations in the United States are also very slow. WU XIANG REMEMBERED THAT "ASSEMBLY NUMBER", WHICH WAS ALSO NOT RELEASED IN THE UNITED STATES, WAS LATER PUT ON YOU-TUBE BY NETIZENS, AND THE NUMBER OF CLICKS AND COMMENTS WAS VERY HIGH.
Since "The Assembly" is okay, then why can't we do this "The Loveliest Man"?
It can be said that from the point of view of ideas, Wu Xiang is simply a genius, so the question now is, will Chen Shijun, a person from Treasure Island, sell his company?
"Mr. Wu, your idea is very good, but I want to know, what is your offer?" Chen Shijun used the word you, because he already knew that Wu Xiang was related to Ma Huateng and Yang Zhiyuan, Chen Shijun was not a fool, of course he knew the importance of this information.
Now the scale of funds that need to be used has exceeded 1 billion US dollars, and Wu Xiang can't say anything alone, so he has to pull Yang Zhiyuan and Lao Ma.
"I have $1.2 billion in funds!"
That's right, this is the amount of money that Wu Xiang can now use for this acquisition.
"It's a big amount, but Mr. Wu Xiang, I can sue you, the price that 'Brother Gu' just gave me is 1.6 billion US dollars, do you think I should choose you or 'Brother Gu'?" Chen Shijun is right, in business, you don't make money if you are rich.
Sure enough, Brother Gu is really generous, although they haven't recovered this money for many years, but people just dare to smash it.
The huge problem has come out, so how should Wu Xiang deal with it......?
PS: Thank you for the monthly ticket of the Duke of September, thank you for the reward of Brother hzwangdd, thank you very much!
The black car shamelessly asks for your support, thank you, ask for all kinds, remember, it's all kinds, what's there, hey, hey, thank you!
