Chapter VI Joint Ventures
"Is the plan for the millennium ready?" Lin Baoer asked the question of her greatest concern. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
"There are already plans. We are ready to start public opinion condemnation of him from Qiandu's word-of-mouth, causing everyone's disgust with Qiandu. Then announced that it was ready to enter the search engine industry. Presumably, President Li of Qiandu will be very nervous. Hu Biao has some sympathy for President Li, and it is not good to offend anyone, so he has to offend the person in front of him.
"How can I make sure that Qiandu will be fooled?" Qiandu is not an idle meal, and the domestic monopoly in others does not rely on policy support.
"Qiandu is not the only search engine in China, there have been companies that have challenged his position, but no one has succeeded so far. We only need to inject capital into one of them, and Qiandu will definitely be fooled. Hu Biao said confidently.
"Injection?" Lin Baoer was very surprised, didn't she say that she would scare them, why did she inject money again.
"The search engine is a very important traffic entrance, and now this entrance is in the hands of Qiandu. Although Skynet Group has its own traffic entrance, it is not afraid that he will maliciously transfer our traffic, but it is not a good thing after all. So I think it's important for us to get involved in this industry. Hu Biao said.
"We don't have that much energy. And if you really do this, you will never die with Qiandu, and it is not a good choice to die with Qiandu. Lin Baoer directly rejected his proposal.
"No, we just inject capital to acquire a part of the shares, and let it develop on its own when Qiandu is ready, presumably Qiandu will not have much reaction. But in the future, this is a needle we inserted into Qiandu's body, so that they don't dare to mess around. "Hu Biao is not a person without a sense of the overall situation, how can he not know the fate of the death with Qiandu, he is taking a step of idle chess by doing so.
If this search engine can develop, it would be the best, Skynet Group made a lot of money and had one more traffic entrance.
Even if the development is not satisfactory, it doesn't matter, its existence is a deterrent to Qiandu. When you dare to be dishonest and dare to play tricks behind your back, I will vigorously develop this search engine to compete with you.
"You're right, that's it." Lin Baoer is not a stubborn person, and she is happy to adopt what others say makes sense. This is also one of the main reasons why Hu Biao is willing to join Skynet Group.
At the same time, a meeting is underway at Universal Pictures in Hollywood, the United States.
"Ladies and gentlemen, this is the detailed information of the author of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" Seven Nights, do you have anything to say after reading it?" Lawrence Turner, the company's CEO, who sat in the chair, said as he waved the Forbes magazine in his hand.
"God, I really didn't expect this Mr. Seven Nights to be a big entrepreneur." Someone couldn't help but exclaim. At the same time, he also uses honorifics when addressing them.
Strength represents everything, and Zhu Ziqing, who is worth tens of billions of dollars, is a bigwig-level existence among these people. After all, they are just a group of migrant workers, and even if they own many shares in Universal, they don't have many shares. In front of the words 20 years old, self-made, and 10 billion US dollars in two years, they dare not take anything big.
"yes, it's amazing. Compared with Mark Zuckerberg, I really can't imagine that an authoritarian system like China can produce such talent. ”
"If it weren't for Forbes, I would never have believed it to be true."
The others followed suit with their exclamations, and the room became lively for a while. But it seems that they have forgotten that it is a company meeting, and they have digressed.
"Quiet." Lawrence shouted with a dark face: "This meeting is not convened to show your admiration, but to figure out how to get the film rights of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone." ”
"It's hard, if he's just a writer we can do something else, but in the face of a billionaire, I really can't think of any conditions that can touch his heart." Alan Brooke, the deputy sitting next to him, shrugged his shoulders in frustration.
"I know it's difficult, but I don't believe I can't really do anything about him. What can he do if he is worth tens of billions? Doesn't he have to eat and drink? As long as he is a human being, there must be weaknesses. Lawrence looked at his deputy and said dissatisfied.
"Directly contributing money will definitely not impress him, I think we can try to let him participate in investment." At this point, someone suggested a seemingly feasible solution.
"Let him invest? You're not kidding. Before Lawrence could speak, Alan Bruce jumped up and objected, "If we do this, we will become the public enemy of Hollywood, and who will bear the consequences." ”
People who don't know how to do it will definitely be strange when they hear this, why would they become a public enemy of Hollywood if they accept Zhu Ziqing's investment? There is a problem involved in this, xenophobia.
If the movie is compared to a circle, then the vested interests in the circle absolutely do not want others to enter the circle and get a piece of the pie. In particular, well-developed film companies are even more disgusted by foreign funds.
In his previous life, Larry Ellison's son David Ellison and daughter Megan Ellison of Oracle were not without a lot of boycotts from film companies when they first entered Hollywood.
But alas, Hollywood is not just the Hollywood of the studios, it is the Hollywood of all Hollywood people. There are too many talented people here who are not allowed to show their talents, and these two rich second generations gradually entered Hollywood by investing in these unambitious people at the beginning, and finally forced Hollywood to accept them.
The situation in this world Hollywood is similar to that of the previous life, and it is very repulsive to Guo Jianglong.
Of course, it doesn't matter if you find a big boss or just a small amount of money, maybe everyone is still welcome, but Zhu Ziqing is obviously a predator. Bringing him in is tantamount to luring a wolf into the house, and when the time comes, Hollywood studios will not have to hate Universal to death.
"I know, but the information from Seven Nights says that he also has his own film and television production company, and I guess it's likely that he wants to make this movie himself." The person who made the suggestion couldn't pull his face and forcibly defended himself. How do you know that while talking, I really had an idea and thought of a possibility:
"But the level of film and television production in China is very low, and there is no experience in making such blockbusters. We can cooperate with them, isn't it very popular for China and the United States to co-produce in recent years. Who will dare to say anything about us then. ”
Sino-US co-production? These four words touched everyone's inspiration at once.
As this person said, Sino-US co-production has been very popular in recent years. Hollywood wants to use this gimmick to reduce the boycott of the Chinese people and open up the Chinese market. Those investors in China are just for the money.
Of course, another scenario is not excluded. Some film companies have poor performance, and their reputation in the United States is notorious and they cannot attract large investment, so they go to China to fool people in the name of Sino-US joint ventures.
Everyone knows the truth of the so-called Sino-US co-production. The actual producer is still Hollywood studios, and Chinese companies are just starting to do it.
"Forbes" also said that Zhu Ziqing's film company had just been created, and it had never even made a movie. Such a grass platform team is not even qualified to give them a hand.
But these are not important, the important thing is that Zhu Ziqing has a film and television production company, can we say that he has a 'Sino-US joint venture'? As long as you get this title, everything is no longer a problem.
Lawrence Turner quickly sorted out the joints and made a bold plan. But such a big matter has to be consulted by the board of directors, but he is not worried about whether it will pass the review at all.
Never overestimate the discipline of businessmen, the unspoken rules of Hollywood's xenophobia are only for competitors. As for your own company, of course, you can make money as you can.
Zhu Ziqing is also rarely busy, the recruitment of DreamWorks, the post-production of "Bright Sword", the preparation of two new films, the formation of the new crew of "Love Apartment", and of course, the indispensable literary work every day.
He's never been so busy since he's crossed over. Even at the beginning of MSI's establishment, he only went to Pearl City once a week. I usually live a leisurely life at school, and the company's affairs are managed by Ganzhuo. At most, it's a command on the phone.
"Teacher Liang, I really can't ask for these people." Zhu Ziqing rubbed his swollen and aching temples and said helplessly.
In the past, he still thought that this Teacher Liang was a real person, but now if anyone dares to say such things again, he will definitely slap him unceremoniously, you are blind.
"Why can't you ask for it, everyone knows that you take care of your classmates emotionally. The school is also very considerate of you, and all the seedlings sent are good. Those who didn't perform well were brushed down directly, and we didn't send them to you at all. Liang Xuewen said sadly:
"If the school thinks so much about you, you can't think about the school? These are all outstanding students in our school, and their acting skills, image, and character are all well-known. You give a reason, why can't you ask for it. ”
"Mr. Liang, you have already stuffed more than 30 actors over. If this continues, this company will become a martial artist. Besides, we're just a small company, and we can't fit that many people. Zhu Ziqing said with a smile.
"Sign these people first. Don't be afraid of no acting, just give them a small role, if it doesn't work, let them play tricks. Liang Xuewen almost grabbed Zhu Ziqing's hand and pressed his fingerprints.
"That's not how it works. Mr. Liang, I can understand your feelings, but please understand us, okay? Zhu Ziqing was very helpless, but said in a very resolute tone:
"And if you look at the actors you sent, they are all handsome men and beautiful women, and the most important thing is that their image and temperament are similar. I didn't know, I thought it was a mass-produced product coming down the assembly line. ”
"We're a film and television production company, and we need a variety of actors. In addition to handsome men and beautiful women, some distinctive actors are also needed. Shi Dazhuang, you know, he will come three or five more like this, and I won't frown and sign all of them. But these really can't be signed. ”
Regarding the phenomenon of only looking at appearance in the entertainment industry now, Zhu Ziqing is very disgusted. It's right to look at the looks, but it's disgusting just to look at the looks.
In a film and television work, the monks have become flower monks, not only with long hair, but also in love. It was supposed to be a gray-haired old man, younger than an eighteen-year-old young man. I don't remember anything except a bunch of handsome men and women in the whole film.
The most disgusting thing is the acting problem. has no acting skills just because of his appearance, he doesn't memorize his lines and relies on lip-syncing, and some even use bad methods such as mask stand-ins and cutouts. Compared with the older generation, there is no way to compare.
So when recruiting people this time, Zhu Ziqing paid special attention to some actors who were special in appearance and image. For example, the folk artist He Jianglong, his acting skills can only be said to be average, but he was hired because he had a treacherous face.
The handsome men and women in the entertainment industry are inseparable from the enrollment system of film and television schools. Now the admissions of major film and television colleges and universities first depend on whether you are beautiful or not, and girls begin to wear bikinis when they participate in interviews. Is this Nima choosing a prostitute or an actor?
"I hope that when our school recruits students in the future, we will not only recruit handsome men and beautiful women, but also occasionally recruit some students with special images. The entertainment industry needs a variety of faces, and only in this way can it develop healthily. Zhu Ziqing said earnestly.
"This ...... I'll go back and talk to the dean and tell everyone what you think. Liang Xuewen blushed rarely, and he didn't dare to mention the matter of the Cypriots coming in.
He also knows the phenomenon of only recruiting handsome men and beautiful women, and he also knows that the reason why this trend in the entertainment industry is so prevalent is inseparable from their film and television schools.
Without them behind the scenes, without them cutting off the path of study for featured actors, the entertainment industry would definitely not be like this.
Liang Xuewen had just left, and Zhu Ziqing received a call from Li Xiaoping before he could catch his breath.
"Hey, why did you call me at this time."
"Listen to your voice is very haggard. Be temperate, young man. ”
"Temperance is a fart. I'm tired from work. There's been so much going on lately. ”
"You're busy, as you should. Ya has become a billionaire before you know it, and she is still a beautiful knife. became the richest man in the world after the 90s. If these names are given to me, I will be willing to be busy. ”
"Alright, stop touting it, say something about me."
"Two things, first, congratulations on the success of your Analects. Second, I just listed the outline of "Ugly 2", and by the way, I also wrote one or two templates, when will you have time to help me straighten it out. ”
The Analects has not sold very well, with less than a million copies sold so far, but its impact is definitely unprecedented. The whole literary world was shaken by this.
Among ordinary book lovers, this book is also widely influential. Especially those who have received higher education in the white bone elite class, this book is even more highly respected.
Gao Xi, a well-known scholar and the banner of Shu Chinese scholars, publicly said: If our generation has inherited and interpreted the Analects to let everyone know the true face of the Analects, then Zhu Ziqing has expanded the meaning and role of the Analects.
This comment quickly spread and was unanimously recognized by the literary world. Since then, Zhu Ziqing has finally erected his own banner in the literary world and has become a banner figure in the Chinese literary circle.
