Chapter 98 How can people float in the rivers and lakes without being stabbed
Kingsoft is a "senior" company that has been established for 13 years. Don't look at the company after many years www.biquge.info but in the Internet winter of 2001, its signboard is definitely louder than the BAT three.
Gu Cheng just needs a soft-killing team and results, so it is impossible to buy Jinshan Company completely, and it is not necessary.
His idea was to dig up Lei Jun with a lot of money, promise some equity, and then build a team.
This matter needs to be figured out slowly, and after he told his cousin about his intentions, he put it aside for the time being and didn't care about it anymore.
It's cool to spend money for a while, and it's time to find cash cows when you're done spending it.
After returning to Qiantang, Gu Cheng plans to spend a few days to observe the online games, film and television dramas, and artists that can be invested in on the market to see if there are any worthy of support. These things are real cash cows.
Although it is very vulgar to make profits, but with the shackles of Sun Zhengyi's heavy convertible bonds, no matter how vulgar things are, you have to do them. Otherwise, three years later, forty percent of the company's shares will fall into the hands of Fuso people.
It's a pity that high-quality assets like "Legend" and "Meteor Garden" are not available every year. A talented artist like Zhou Jielun is not born every year.
What's more, Gu Cheng traveled back from 40 years later, so it is impossible to remember everything about the opportunities in the 2000s like those protagonists of the Rebirth Article. For first-class and quasi-first-class opportunities, he can only look for through his own observation and analysis.
It took a few days of hard work to find and find, but I didn't find a good thing, but a bad thing came to the door.
That day, he was reading the investment opportunities that Liu Shuqin had counted back, and Gao Dasong, who is now the content director of Dingdang.com, called him and reported a bad news.
Gu Cheng picked up the phone, and Gao Dasong said, "Two bad news, which one to listen to first?"
"Clams?" Gu Cheng was speechless for a while, "It's all bad news, what's the order." Could it be that something happened to Dingdang?"
"Dingdang.com is fine, there's something wrong with the General Bureau. Gao Dasong said with a little teasing, "It seems that you have been very busy lately, and you don't care about the film and television industry." ”
Gu Cheng retorted: "Be careful, look for investment opportunities every day." ”
Gao Dasong: "I mean you don't care about the ones that have already been released - "Meteor Garden" was banned by the General Administration of E-level. ”
It took Gu Cheng a while to come back to his senses before he figured out what Teacher Gao was talking about.
The ban on TV dramas by the General Administration is graded, with a total of five levels from A to E, with A being the heaviest and E being the lightest. A belongs to the kind that not only wants to ban forever, but also has to erase all traces of the film that has ever been screened. E is the lightest, not announced to the public, just an internal document, temporarily suspended, to see the after-effects.
Now what "Meteor Garden" encounters is the lightest E-class.
"Clams, why?" Gu Cheng was stunned for a moment.
Gao Dasong said as a matter of course: "Why? "Meteor Garden" has been released for the past few months, and there are not enough 'capital paying attention to the poison of money worship'? You don't look at the extent to which the imitation of early love, money worship, and gangs on campus has reached. ”
Gu Cheng's old face flushed: "Of course I know that there are these individual phenomena...... I mean, why is it so sudden? Why now?"
In the original history, "Meteor Garden" was pinched silently as early as after the premiere and only five or six episodes were shown in the second round. The provincial Taiwan stations who bought the rights to the second round of screenings spent money in vain.
Now, because the Chinese capital exceeds 50%, and the film does not deliberately emphasize the concept of "campus gangs", the intensity of harm is not as great as that of another time and space. Therefore, the film was turned a blind eye by the above, and it has been connived at until now that the 7 Shangxing Provincial Stations that have bought the second round of screening rights have been released, and only then did they issue internal documents and not allow them to be shown again.
Gu Cheng wondered why the ban was suddenly triggered at this point in time.
Gao Dasong on the other end of the phone sighed and revealed a secret: "At the beginning, the top was considered to be overcooled, and by introducing another relatively positive romance and fire drama, the people's attention to "Meteor Garden" was diluted. Therefore, in the middle of last month, CCTV introduced another masterpiece of Qiong Yao from Wanwan, "Love is Deep and Rainy". As a result, after a month and a half, "Deep Love and Rainy" has not suppressed the ratings of "Meteor Garden", campus imitation and the intensifying trend, and the above can only be ruthless. ”
When Gu Cheng heard this reason at first glance, he felt a little incredible, but after thinking about it, it was a bit logical.
This trick is used more in democracies, for example, if a politician has a scandal, a large number of other scandals or entertainment scandals will come out at the same time to help dilute the attention of the people.
It is not unreasonable for the above people to look forward to "Love in the Rain": the final average rating of "Meteor Garden" is approaching 20%, and looking back, the most recent film that surpassed it was "Huanzhu Gege" three years ago, breaking through 25%. And "Love in the Rain" and "Returning the Pearl" are the same classic sadomasochistic dramas as Qiong Shao, and the firing line also copied the three popular starring roles of Zhao Wei, Lin Xinru, Su Youpeng and other "Return" dramas.
In another time and space, because of the introduction schedule of Wanwan dramas, "Deep Love and Rain" did not go head-to-head with "Meteor", and the "early death" of "Meteor", the ratings of the two seem to be about the same. Now that the "Flow" drama has completed two rounds without hindrance, and with Gu Cheng, a buff bonus that far surpasses Zhou Yumin, the gap is immediately revealed.
From mid-August to the end of September, "Love and Rain", known as the "second fire drama of the year", finished two rounds of broadcasts. Even the 15% rating was not broken, it was suppressed and failed to divert the attention of the people.
This drama can be said to be born at an inopportune time.
The General Administration finally panicked and directly ordered an E-level ban on "Meteor Garden".
Gu Cheng listened to it for so long before he could completely digest the ins and outs of the first bad news: "Okay, don't explain, let's talk about the second one." ”
Gao Dasong: "The second is that those officials of the General Administration who originally decided to 'watch the after-effects' felt that they couldn't explain it, and banned "Meteor Garden" and didn't count, and also hoped to shoot a romance tragedy of 'the son of a wealthy family can't die well', brainwashing the girls who yearn for the bourgeoisie to worship money. ”
Gu Cheng was stunned: "What's my business? They can shoot it, that's their ability." ”
Gao Dasong was not afraid of big things when he watched the play, and revealed the mystery: "Of course it's your business, someone from the General Administration has spoken in private, asking you to play the male number one and slap yourself in the face." I'm just a messenger. ”
Gu Cheng's heart sank: "Yo, do you still bring such a play?" ”
"If you don't agree, I don't need to say what will happen to all the films invested by Eslite Audiovisual in the future when they are submitted for review. Gao Dasong was also quite helpless, "Actually, the General Administration doesn't really want to rectify you." It's really sensitive now, and the people at the top are the most taboo about the word 'bourgeois ZI Youhua', and the General Administration has to make a show to show that you have been 'recruited'. After March next year, after a change of day, maybe the atmosphere will open up a little bit. ”
Gu Cheng was depressed in his heart! I had only heard of strong women doing it, but I had never heard of forced gambling, let alone forced people to make films!
He was afraid of embarrassment, so he lowered his voice and pleaded for intercession: "Do you know that I am already a billionaire? Sun Zhengyi just gave me a good ...... Hundreds of millions of convertible bonds, do you think it's appropriate for me to act on TV?"
Gao Dasong pierced him without hesitation: "I only know that you are a 'loser'." Don't think that I'm not familiar with Lao Ma, Sun Zhengyi's money is all borrowed from you, and you won't have to pay back the interest when the time comes. Besides, what's wrong with hundreds of millions? Don't all of Andy Lau and Liang Chaowei have hundreds of millions? Aren't they still making films? I advise you to cooperate well. ”
If it weren't for the money he owed Sun Zhengyi and the cash cow in the film and television industry in the next two or three years, Gu Cheng really didn't want to be manipulated.
"That's it, count me on it, let's talk about the title. But the ugly thing is ahead, I'm busy, and I may ask for leave at any time halfway through the shooting. ”
"The name of the film is ......" Gao Dasong made no secret of it, and said the title and the contact information of the crew.
……
Just a week before Gao Dasong called Gu Cheng, there was also a heated debate in the CCTV Film and Television Department in Beijing.
An old screenwriter and producer surnamed Liu was stuffed with a script with high hopes in his hand, the title of the play "The Family of Gold Powder", adapted from the novel by the famous writer Zhang Hatshui of the Republic of China.
According to CCTV's urine nature, it is fast to prepare a script for a year and a half before starting work. The preparation of this drama has not been long ago, and it has not yet reached the critical juncture that must be made.
However, since "Love and Rain" was seconds off by "Meteor" in September, the burden on screenwriter Liu's shoulders has suddenly increased. Minister Lin of the CCTV Film and Television Department personally asked her to talk.
Screenwriter Liu didn't know why, and he was still a little nervous when he walked into Minister Lin's office.
"Lin Bu, are you looking for me?"
Minister Lin, who was acting for the official documents, raised his eyes and looked at her and signaled, "Sit." Tell you about "The Family of Gold Powder" - how is the film being prepared?"
Screenwriter Liu thought for a while: "At present, the set decoration is not in place, so I have to ...... again"
When Minister Lin heard this, he immediately interrupted: "Urgent, work will start within half a month." The people of the General Administration talked to the leadership. "Love in the Rain" didn't suppress "Meteor Garden". Gu Cheng's strange limelight is very strong-"
Screenwriter Liu didn't know why: "What does the above mean ......?"
"Change the suppression to the fu, and recruit Gu Cheng's kid. Let him play Jin Yanxi, to highlight the road of 'wealthy families and young people are all scumbags, and it will not end well with them'. Let Gu Cheng slap himself in the face and press back the bad campus influence of Hua Ze's character. ”
Screenwriter Liu pondered for a moment and suddenly realized.
