Chapter 191: New Year
The hands are ticking and swinging, seemingly monotonous, but a period of extremely meaningful time has passed. Unconsciously, time flowed like this, the years passed, and time escaped. The new year has arrived......
A lot has happened in the meantime!
Cooperation with Liu Weiqiang, cooperation with Xiang Huaqiang, cooperation with To Qifeng, a series of film investments, the three words Lu Deshuang, quickly became popular in the Xiangjiang film industry, and there were countless door-to-door visitors, some wanted roles, some attracted investment, and some others who could come to make friends.
It wasn't until half a month that it completely stopped, and Lu Deshuang could finally take a breath.
And a lot of things have happened in the mainland, the New Year's Eve concert led by Shonan Satellite TV, in Liu Dehao, Anita Mui, Zhang Xueyou, Liu Huan, Sun Nan, Na Ying, Yang Yuying, etc., a total of more than 40 music superstars joined, and the limelight was unique for a while.
When the ratings of the New Year's Eve concert came out, the other David TV were completely crazy, without him, the ratings exceeded 50%, not to mention, the tickets for the concert alone made Shonan Satellite TV earn back, not to mention, and what kind of naming rights, it simply blinded everyone's eyes, Pepsi was actually willing to spend five million US dollars to sponsor this New Year's Eve concert, just for the host to shout a few Pepsi advertising words every time he appeared.
Well, such an idea is obviously not Shonan Satellite TV, nor can Su Da come up with it, but Lu Deshuang proposed it, and even Pepsi Cola's sponsorship, because Lu Deshuang was in the movie "Spring of the International Class" before, he looked for Pepsi's joint venture company in Huaxia, Changchun Pepsi pulled sponsorship, seeing such a big New Year's Eve concert, Shonan Satellite TV didn't pull sponsorship, what a pity. What a waste.
Therefore, Lu Deshuang gave Su Da a few words about the naming rights, but before he thought about it, Su Da really persuaded Pepsi Cola and pulled down five million US dollars, I have to say. In his previous life, it was not unreasonable for Suda to be able to go to the deputy director and be one step away from the position of director.
And Lu Deshuang's company is also developing very well.
Everyone has completely unified the major colleges and universities in the country, and now they have begun to absorb social groups, seeing such rapid development, Son Masayoshi, who was far away in Japan, couldn't sit still, and called again, but. was still rejected by Lu Deshuang, because Renren had not yet thoroughly "∵dǐng" ∵diǎn "∵ Xiao "∵ said, .≥.os_ (); Occupying the Chinese market, he is not ready to enter foreign countries, so he is not so anxious to accept venture capital.
And Renren Blog was finally launched on January 1, with Lu Deshuang's vast connections in the entertainment industry and the entry of hundreds of celebrities. It quickly attracted more than 30 million people to sign up, but Lu Deshuang knew it. He can't expect these celebrities to update frequently, so if he wants to develop his blog, he needs some celebrity bloggers like Lao Xu who can cause topical conversations.
In just a few months of development, it has exceeded 50 million registrations, especially the first New Year's Eve event of Bloody Legend, and the number of online users has exceeded 3 million. Let the bloody legend has become the hegemon of the Chinese online game industry in one fell swoop.
Especially a young man in his twenties, relying on the sale of virtual items in the bloody legend, earned 100,000 yuan a month, and after it was broadcast by CCTV news broadcast, it can be imagined. The bloody legend will inevitably usher in a new Gao Feng again.
Even in just three months, in addition to the cost of publicity and promotion in the early stage, the bloody legend earned Lu Deshuang more than 50 million.
It is this money that solves his urgent need for film investment in Xiangjiang, otherwise, Lu Deshuang can only continue to borrow from the bank.
Compared with the popularity of the bloody legend, Qiyuan, which was valued by Lu Deshuang, ushered in a challenge.
Penguin, which has been ignored by Lu Deshuang, after solving the infringement case of AOL, obtained investment from Li Zhekai and quickly took the road of rapid development.
But the penguin is worthy of being a penguin, so good to die on the road of plagiarizing technology in the previous life, the first day of the new year, the penguin 2001 version came out, and there are many strange technologies, even digging games do not let go, it can be described as madness.
Therefore, Lu Deshuang directly sued the penguin for plagiarism, and started the first battle between Qiyuan and the penguins.
Lu Deshuang has official connections on the Beiping side, and the penguins are on top. The background of the sea is not bad, everyone knows, there was a period of time, the politics of Beiping and Shanghai were hostile, I won't go into details, anyway, the penguins rely on the loopholes of the Chinese law, unscrupulously plagiarism, anyway, with the support of the financier behind it, they are not afraid of a lawsuit with Lu De.
Penguin's rogue tricks can be said to be a headache for Lu Deshuang, only while fighting a lawsuit, while urging the Qiyuan Technology Department to come up with new technology, it also began to ban the penguins, just the Qiyuan Internet café refused to install the penguins, it is enough for the penguins to drink a pot, not to mention, although Lu Deshuang is not the first person on the Internet, but in the Internet connections, it is really not impossible to ban the penguins.
After all, if plagiarism is not stopped, it is easy to flood, you copy me, I copy you, who still has the heart to study new technologies, which is also the reason why other bigwigs of the Chinese Internet are willing to support Lu Deshuang and ban penguins.
In the end, in the face of the ban of all the bigwigs of the Chinese Internet, Ma Huateng finally had to bow his head, surrender and admit defeat, delete the ideas and technologies plagiarized from Qiyuan, and promised to respect the rules of the game from now on.
But behind the scenes, Ma Huateng is still not idle, the technology can't keep up, it doesn't matter, I can't buy foreign ones, the creativity can't compare, won't I take off your creative clothes, I'll put on another piece of clothing.
Anyway, if the penguin wants to come out, it must be against the odds, and compromise will not win the victory, nor can it win the market.
But this kind of action makes those Internet bigwigs who work together to ban penguins rest easy, anyway, don't blatant plagiarism, they can understand, anyway, it's not them who are the penguins stumbling, after all, Lu Deshuang is not without opponents on the Internet, and many of his enemies are happy to see the penguins challenge the situation.
As early as last year, the development of Internet cafes has entered a bottleneck, and almost all the bustling areas of first- and second-tier cities have Qiyuan Internet cafes, and even third-tier developed cities have also appeared in Qiyuan Internet cafes.
But not only is Qiyuan Internet Cafe developing, but many people have seen the prospect of Internet cafes and have entered this market, which has emerged like bamboo shoots after the rain, which has greatly affected the business of Qiyuan Internet Cafe, and even led to a bad price war.
The original Internet fee of five yuan an hour finally fell to the point of three yuan, although there are still some earnings, but it is not as profitable as a few years ago.
Simply, what gives Lu Deshuang a headache is Qiyuan and Qiyuan Internet Cafe, and his company in entertainment, the development is very good, because Deshuang Music has recruited more than 100 trainees, and now the company's practice room is obviously not enough, so Deshuang Music moved away to a new office, and spent more than 10 million yuan earned by Deshuang Music last year on the purchase of office buildings.
If it weren't for the fact that Lu Deshuang invested in several movies in half a year and arranged a lot of roles in the company, it is estimated that the income and expenditure of Deshuang Brokerage in the first year was negative, not to mention, Lu Deshuang also recruited a lot of behind-the-scenes staff in Nortel, and their salaries alone are a burden, after all, they are all newcomers, except for their own people, who is willing to bring newcomers into the crew, isn't that adding to the chaos.
The only bad news is estimated to be Teng Huatao's "One Hundred Thieves in the World", which was successfully released with the help of Yu Dong, but unfortunately the results are very unhappy, everyone doesn't like this movie about two little children catching thieves so much, so it was only released for half a month, which is still for Yu Dong's face, and only won a box office of more than one million.
I have to say that the cost of two million is only one million box office, and this film has reached home at a loss.
However, the gains and losses of this movie, Lu Deshuang didn't care about it, he valued Teng Huatao as a person, when he came to the door to ask for the guilt, Lu Deshuang took the opportunity to propose an invitation for Teng Huatao to join Deshuang's agent, and I don't know if it was because of guilt, or was hit by the first work, after thinking about it for two days, he signed his name on the contract.
So far, after the bluffing, the Deshuang agent has ushered in the second director to join. (To be continued.) )
