Chapter 0331 - Gains That Money Is Hard to Measure
Chapter 0331 Money is Hard to Measure Gains
After pondering for a long time, Gu Yu came up with a solution, as for whether this method works, then he can only try it first. His method is not difficult to say, and it is also very easy to operate, that is, to cut out a trailer from the Journey to the West movie that has been produced, and put it on a special video website, so that the majority of netizens can have a sneak peek, if they think it is good, maybe they will like this trailer, so that Gu Yu's prestige value will be in hand.
As soon as he thought of it, Gu Yu immediately began to contact Xu Xiaoqing, and asked Xu Xiaoqing to immediately contact major video websites in China, as well as several portals. Search websites, etc., at any cost, even if it is a huge amount of advertising money, it is okay to buy a few positions first, and he wants to put a movie trailer into these websites.
Xu Xiaoqing almost thought that Gu Yu had a fever, and his head became a little confused. The company's business is a lot, but it has never been involved in film and television dramas, and the only one that has anything to do with film and television production is Gu Chao games, but Gu Chao games are all game cutscenes or something, it is still very different from a complete film and television drama.
Xu Xiaoqing also wanted to persuade Gu Yu, in recent years, the production of domestic film and television dramas has been a big hit, and a lot of people have invested in it and made money, but those who make money are a minority, and those who lose money account for the majority. It is very difficult to shoot a popular film and television drama, and it is even more difficult to get a good and popular film.
Of course, Xu Xiaoqing is not against investing in the film and television drama industry, what she means is that she hopes that Gu Yu can test the water first, not to be the sole proprietor or main investment of a certain film and television drama as soon as she comes up, and she can cooperate with those bigwigs in film and television drama production, follow them, learn from this experience, and wait until you are familiar with this industry, and then invest more energy in this industry, which is the king.
Gu Yu didn't have much interest in talking to Xu Xiaoqing about how to invest in the film and television drama industry, he simply interrupted Xu Xiaoqing's words and asked Xu Xiaoqing to do what he said, and the rest will be said later, the top priority is to do this matter well, which is also a test of Xu Xiaoqing's ability.
The big boss even said this kind of thing, what else can Xu Xiaoqing say, can only make her team put down all the work at hand, and start to do their best to contact major websites at home and abroad, and buy the front page headlines at any cost, not only that, but she will also spread Gu Yu's orders to buy advertising positions for TV stations, newspapers and magazines, etc., according to Xu Xiaoqing's words, she wants the world to know what Gu Yu, the big boss, is going to do tomorrow.
Of course, in doing so, it must be like spending money, advertising fees and liquidated damages for various websites, media, etc., in the end, just this day, Xu Xiaoqing spent nearly 100 million US dollars, of course, the effect is significant and obvious, in the world, open any website with a little influence, or turn on the TV, then you will definitely see the trailer of the movie Journey to the West edited by Gu Yu.
The production technology and level of the automatic holographic image production and delivery system are not blown out, even if they don't understand or don't like the mythical story of Journey to the West, which comes from China, but when they see the trailer, they can't help but be deeply attracted to it, and everyone who sees this trailer can't help but let out an exclamation.
Gu Yu almost went crazy, so many people around the world watched the same trailer at the same time in such a concentrated time period, and praised and praised the same trailer, so that a steady stream of prestige values flowed into Gu Yu's name, and the numbers displayed on the system external device almost jumped upward, breaking through the 10 million mark in an instant, and then breaking through the 100 million mark, followed by 1 billion, 2 billion, and finally simply broke through the 3 billion mark, and the highest rushed to more than 3.4 billion.
This number made Gu Yu a little stunned, he didn't expect that just a one- or two-minute trailer could bring him so much prestige, which was more sensational than when he won two Nobel Prizes in the same year for the first time. At first glance, this will make him feel unreal, but when he thinks about it, those film and television stars can get tens of millions or hundreds of millions of rewards casually, which is much higher than that of scientists, and a trailer can bring him so much prestige, and it seems that there is nothing unacceptable.
This also made Gu Yu realize that if he wants to accumulate quickly and gain more prestige points, he still needs to work more on film and television drama production in the future. Using leading technology and technology, coupled with a good story, the film and television dramas produced are the only way for him to earn prestige.
With prestige, it's easy to do anything. Gu Yu turned on the automatic hologram production and delivery system again, and then according to some comments from James McKinsey and some new inspiration from him, he once again processed and adjusted the first Journey to the West movie.
This time, because it's a fine tune, the reputation value didn't cost much, that is, in terms of re-soundtracking, he killed more than one million reputation points, but compared to the finished product after it is done, this more than one million reputation points are definitely too worth it.
The next day, James McKinsey woke up with a hangover, and he had a simple breakfast at Mr. Gates before leaving, but Gu Yu stopped him, and Gu Yu asked James McKinsey to watch the revised and adjusted Journey to the West movie again before leaving.
James McKinsey didn't expect Gu Yu to revise the movie so quickly, although he didn't have any expectations for the results of Gu Yu's hasty adjustments, but he still gave Gu Yu a lot of face and decided to stay and leave after watching it. Regardless of the modifications, at least the first version is quite exciting, and it is a good pleasure to watch it again.
Yesterday, Mrs. Gates didn't see the movie Journey to the West, and she listened to Mr. Gates blow it to her for a long time last night, and she also became interested in this movie. So, this time, she had a brief discussion with Mr. Gates, and called both of their children over and asked them to watch this absolutely world-class film from the East.
This time, the more than two dozen seats in Mr. Gates' private theater were full, and there was not a single empty seat.
Soon, the lights dimmed, and the LOGO of Gu Chao Film and Television first appeared on the screen, and then, a burst of untouchable, but extremely exciting music sounded, which instantly brought people's emotions to the magnificent and magnificent world of Journey to the West.
Not to mention Mrs. Gates and their children, even Mr. Gates, James McKinsey, Thomson Jason, Del Ford, and others who saw this movie yesterday were all at once attracted to it, and their whole body and mind were immersed in it, and they couldn't extricate themselves for a long time.
The only more sober thing on the scene is Gu Yu, after he remade the first film of Journey to the West, he came out with a holographic version, and watched it all by himself, and the shock was definitely not comparable to the 3D version that Mr. Gates was watching in front of him. It's a pity that the holographic technology can't be exposed yet, otherwise, if you take it out, you have to kill these buns.
More than an hour later, after the movie was over, the Gates, James McKinsey and others all stood up and gave their applause without hesitation, their hands were red, and their voices were hoarse, as if this was the only way to vent their love.
James McKinsey shook Gu Yu's hand and thanked Gu Yu, he didn't expect Gu Yu to attach so much importance to his opinions, not only in the reproduction, but also in the subtitles, but also in the subtitles, although only abbreviated to J? M, but these three characters are enough, and he will not cause unnecessary trouble.
James McKinsey also made a request to Gu Yu, that is, he hoped that when Gu Yu made the second, third and even more episodes of the Journey to the West movie, he must maintain this production level and never make shoddy production. As long as he can maintain this level, he will definitely always be the most loyal fan of this series of movies, in fact, this is also a disguised show to Gu Yu that he is willing to be a long-term friend with Gu Yu.
Gu Yu took out a check with only $10,000 on it, and wanted to give it to James McKinsey as payment for his proposal on the film. However, James McKinsey refused to accept it, and if he did, the nature of the problem would change, and his political opponents would most likely seize on this point and make a big fuss about it, which would end his political career early, and he would not have made this mistake of principle under any circumstances.
Of course, James McKinsey is not a saint, he needs to raise election funds when he continues to run for the Senate in the future, and at that time, Gu Yu can donate election funds to him, which is clearly allowed by the laws of country M, and will not be an excuse for anyone's attack.
After James McKinsey left, Thomson Jason and Del Ford both said goodbye to the Gates, James McKinsey had promised to withdraw the investigation into the Del Ford Foundation, Del Ford had to go back to deal with this mess, Thomson and Jason planned to help, the two had established a deep friendship, and Thomson Jason also intended to take this opportunity to learn more from Del Ford's seniors.
Neither of them had the intention of calling Gu Yu to go back together, Mr. Gates mainly invited Gu Yu this time, the two should have a lot of things to discuss, and it is indeed a little inappropriate for the two of them to continue to stay.
Mr. Gates had the two men driven to the airport in the best RV on the estate, and then sent them to NY on his own private jet. After arranging all this, Mr. Gates invited Gu Yu to his library to sit down.
Mr. Gates has put a lot of effort into his library, in addition to a large collection of books, there are also treasures of Mr. Gates's world-famous paintings that have been auctioned off over the years, each of which is priceless, and ordinary people can get a pair as long as they sell it, and they will not have to worry about eating and drinking for the rest of their lives.
Mr. Gates pointed to these world-famous paintings and asked Gu Yu to pick them at will. As long as Gu Yu likes it, he can take any pair. Of course, it is very difficult to take these words out of the border of country M, and the customs will not allow them to clear customs. However, as long as Gu Yu buys a house in M, or rents a safe deposit box in any bank, and treasures it, there is no problem.
Gu Yu waved his hand, he was really indifferent to the paintings created by these foreign writers, if he was engaged in collecting, he would also give priority to collecting the works of those great domestic painters. Of course, it is more likely that he buys the paintings left behind, brings them back to China, and then donates them to the museum for collection, on the one hand, he is not very keen on collecting art, and on the other hand, he can bring him a huge prestige value by auctioning back the artworks, so why not.
Seeing that Gu Yu sincerely refused, Mr. Gates did not force it again, Gu Yu is now richer than him, not a little more, as long as Gu Yu is willing, nothing good can be bought, even if it is Leonardo da Vinci's Mona Lisa smile, it is estimated that if there is a public auction, he may not be able to afford it, but Gu Yu may be able to buy it.
Mr. Gates, Mrs. Gates and Gu Yu sat down as guests and hosts, and then began to talk. The focus of the conversation was naturally on how the two sides could work together.
According to Mr. Gates's original intention, he wanted to let Gu Yu help them make a few small games like last time, and bind them to various versions of their company's operating system. For this, they are willing to give more favorable terms than the last cooperation.
However, this idea was overturned by them when they saw the Journey to the West movie made by Gu Yu, especially the revised Journey to the West movie just now, which made them feel deeply touched.
They didn't expect that the picture could be so beautiful and smooth, the music could be so moving, and the technology could be so advanced. Under the reminder of his wife, Mr. Gates wanted to cooperate with Gu Yu at a deeper level, to put it bluntly, it was to use the production technology of Journey to the West to package some details of their company's new generation of operating system, so that they have a better affinity for users, and users can't help but like the new generation of operating system.
In addition, Mr. Gates also agreed to package all the games that come with the system to Gu Yu to do, instead of some of the games that come with the system are made by Mr. Gates's company itself as last time.
For Mr. Gates's request, Gu Yu was naturally very happy. This is a great opportunity to earn a lot of prestige, the last time he cooperated with Mr. Gates, he earned an unknown amount of prestige, if he can cooperate again this time, then he will definitely be able to earn more prestige.
In addition, Gu Yu also has an immature idea, that is, to cooperate with Mr. Gates at a deeper level in the future, if Gu Yu can have deeper participation in the operating system, then he will naturally earn more prestige. It's a pity that he knows too little about the operating system and can't compete with Mr. Gates, and he needs to come up with more things to prove himself if Mr. Gates agrees to open up more rights to him. And now, Gu Yu can't come up with anything more.
He has been exposed to a lot of operating systems, such as the lottery system, the operation interface of the land, sea and air amphibious individual combat vehicles, etc., all of which are counted among them, they are all advanced, but they have a common disadvantage that they have a single function, unlike Mr. Gates's operating system that needs to take on so many tasks.
Of course, if Gu Yuken integrated video game maker and foreign language learning functions into Mr. Gates's operating system, Mr. Gates would be very happy, but Gu Yu would not do such a stupid thing. His core secret is not open to anyone.
Gu Yu and Mr. Gates only had a rough conversation, and the two sides agreed to carry out in-depth cooperation, but the specific details were not discussed, which needed to be handed over to their subordinates.
Gu Yu saw that there was nothing to do if he continued to stay with Mr. Gates, so he took the initiative to leave. Mr. Gates tried his best to keep him, but he didn't have the heart to stop Gu Yu from leaving, Mr. Gates also knew that Gu Yu was as busy as him, and seeing that Gu Yu had made up his mind, he didn't continue to stay, but sent Gu Yu to the airport with his wife, took his private jet, and went to NY.
After Gu Yu arrived in NY and stayed at the Hilton Hotel again, Del Ford came to look for him. Del Ford excitedly told him that the Senate had formally dropped the investigation into the Del Ford Foundation, and that James McKinsey was introducing a new bill in the Senate to thoroughly clean up the possible remnants of the "science rules everything" organization in country M.
Del Ford has now gotten back all the assets that belonged to the Foundation, and James McKinsey has told him that he can file a claim to the Senate for damages, which may not be too much, but there will still be a few million dollars.
After thanking Gu Yu, Del Ford took out another equity transfer letter, which meant that this time thanks to Gu Yu, the foundation was brought back to life, and Gu Yu deserved a reasonable remuneration, so Del Ford once again took out 10 percent of the equity to express his gratitude to Gu Yu.
Gu Yu waved his hand again and again, he was originally a shareholder of the foundation, and it was within his duty to do something for the foundation. What's more, he has already made a lot of money in this matter, and the more than 3 billion prestige points, as well as the friendship between James McKinsey and the Gates, etc., are all difficult to measure with money.
Del Ford admired Gu Yu's humility very much, but he still insisted on giving the equity that should be given. He is a financial investor, believes in the supremacy of interests, if the relationship between him and Gu Yu wants to be long-lasting, then he must calculate all the accounts, he can't suffer, let alone let Gu Yu suffer, there is always a friendship where one of the parties suffers is destined to not last long.
