Chapter 251: "The Legend of Shushan" was released
The original Microsoft thought that open part of the source code and winrar could keep the current market, but I didn't expect that with the passage of time, the power of innovation in the era compressed by the Tang Dynasty was like a rolling trend, like a snowball, rolling bigger and bigger, and finally winrar and Microsoft had the intention to keep the market, and they didn't get half the ability.
This is the innovative power of science and technology, and its emergence is enough to break through all obstacles.
Many commentators in later generations, during this dispute over compressed software, said such a sentence, "Microsoft's monopoly for many years, they have long forgotten the ability to innovate technology, and have been quiet in their monopoly years...... It was not until the emergence of compression in the Tang Dynasty that they discovered that the innovation of science and technology was the most important force in this century. ”
…… Yenching Conservatory of Music.
"Wan'er, where are you going to play on weekends?"
It has been a while since I came to the Yenching Conservatory of Music, and during this period of time, Mu Wan'er and Chen Jiayi have devoted themselves to their study and life in the university. Occasionally, Chen Jiayi would also call Mu Wan'er. It's just that for so long, Mu Wan'er hasn't met Chen Jiayi. This made Mu Wan'er, who walked out of the house for the first time, not only miss her family at the same time, but also think about Chen Jiayi who has been thinking about it the most.
Until her classmates greeted her about playing on Shuangxiu, Mu Wan'er was a little in a daze, and she didn't know what she was doing on Shuangxiu.
"Me...... At this point, I decided to practice the piano again. ”
"Oh my God, Wan'er, I'm still practicing. You will compare the teacher to the teacher, and you will practice, and if you practice again, you may be able to catch up with Lang Lang. ”
Lang Lang went out of the Central Conservatory of Music, and has always been regarded as the direction of efforts by the students of the school.
"Where?"
"Haha, Wan'er, why don't you go to the movies with us, the legend of Shushan that just came out."
"Forget it, I'm not going to use a light bulb."
Mu Wan'er sighed, but she became interested in Shushan.
"Okay, I'll flash first, 88......"
Mu Wan'er's classmate was in a hurry to go on a date with her boyfriend and left the dormitory briskly.
"Hey, Xiaojia, it's me."
After her classmates left, Mu Wan'er was excited, so she took out the phone and sent a call to Chen Jiayi.
"Oh, Wan'er, I was looking for you!"
"No, such a coincidence, then you say it first."
"You call me first, of course you call me first."
"No, I'm a girl, of course I want you to say it first."
"It's too domineering, who will decide that girls have this power......"
Chen Jia muttered a word, but did not continue to entangle with Mu Wan'er, but said, "The Legend of Shushan was released today, and I want to invite someone to go with me, but I don't know if someone will agree." ”
"Alas, since someone has been invited, I'll give someone a face."
"Well, well, I'll pick you up at your school at 8 o'clock tonight."
Tsinghua University and the Central Conservatory of Music said that it was not far away, and it was not close to it, and it probably took more than an hour to play. However, there is a large movie city near the Central Conservatory of Music. Basically, the most popular movies in China will be released here.
As soon as Chen Jia finished speaking, he hung up the phone.
Speaking of the Legend of Shushan, after more than a year, it was finally released. Faced with this work in which Tang Dynasty Company participated, Chen Jiayi was still quite interested. Moreover, the participation in the production of this film on the Tang Dynasty network seems to have changed a lot from later generations. This change, for Chen Jiayi, is not about the film special effects technology of the Tang Dynasty company, but the plot of the entire Shushan.
The original plot of Shushan, I don't know what Tsui Hark thinks, a lot of characters, all kinds of big-name stars, in the end, I can't tell who is the protagonist and who is the supporting role. Then, add to that by being swept away by some fantastical visuals. For a while, everyone only saw the somewhat stunning and somewhat depressing visuals. In the end, many people don't know what the whole Shushan plot is about. At least, Chen Jiayi had watched it inexplicably before.
The plot is so weak, and this issue of the movie Tsui Hark seems to just want to show his big scenes, but he doesn't care much about the actors' acting skills. In this way, the whole movie seems even more unattractive. Half an hour, when everyone has seen enough of the special effects of that movie. Others, there is not the slightest thing to see.
At that time, Chen Jiayi and Tsui Hark took the opportunity of cooperation to discuss their views on the film together. Later, two very important points of view were put forward, the plot and the performance, and Tsui Hark seemed to be awakened by Chen Jia at that time. Now a year later, judging by the trailer. Tsui Hark's biography of Shushan this time has made a great difference.
At least, a few of the plot dialogues that come out of it can also move people's hearts. Of course, with powerful movie special effects. I believe that with the Tang Dynasty network to participate in the Shushan Biography, it will bring the most beautiful enjoyment to the global audience.
Just when Chen Jia was thinking about the legend of Shushan, at this time, the mobile phone rang again, and after looking at the phone, it was Tsui Hark, who had not been in contact for a long time, "Director Xu, today's global "Shushan" premiere simultaneously, you, a busy person, also have the heart to call." ”
"Mr. Chen laughed, no matter how busy he is, he can't forget Mr. Chen."
Today is the global release of Shushan Biography, and Tsui Hark has been waiting for this day for a long time.
Judging from the current situation, the one-month propaganda work has achieved very satisfactory results.
In particular, the special effects of the movie of Shushan Biography have attracted a large number of fans around the world just after the 3-minute video was released. Among them, the most fanatical ones still belong to Europe and the United States and other countries. They couldn't believe it when they saw the 3-minute trailer. Unexpectedly, the current level of movie special effects can achieve such an effect.
Even if you shoot special effects companies like Star Wars and The Lord of the Rings, you can't reach it.
Later, I learned that the original filming of "The Legend of Shushan" was caused by the famous Tang Dynasty network, which created such a magic. For a moment, many people expressed understanding. Because, the current Tang Dynasty company is no longer the Tang Dynasty company in 2000. The current Tang Dynasty company, although the scale has not reached the world's first-class. But his potential, many believe, is that he is the apple of the future. Even, more than Apple...... When Tsui Hark saw so many praises, Tsui Hark knew. Perhaps, the way out for Hong Kong movies is here. It's just that it hasn't been released yet, and everything is still unknown. Now Tsui Hark, while looking forward to the release, is afraid of the release. He was afraid that if he didn't take a seat, it would be over. After all, the few films made by Tsui Hark in the past two years were all applauded before they were released. However, until after the release, fans didn't buy it.
This also led to Tsui Hark's lack of confidence.
Although the current Shushan Biography is not the same as the films of the previous two years, the experience of failure was just yesterday, which also made Tsui Hark worry all the time. In this way, Tsui Hark's action performance is restless. At this time, Tsui Hark thought of Chen Jiayi, the CEO of the Tang Dynasty company, who was far away in the mainland. Although he doesn't know much about movies, his views on movies are much more unique than ordinary people. Including, his analysis of the future of Hong Kong films.
Chen Jiayi believes that if Hong Kong films want to enter the world market, they can consider walking in innovation. Don't always follow the kind of fight and kill in the original movie. Even if it's a fight and kill, you have to be creative. Otherwise, with the influx of blockbusters from Europe and the United States, where will Hong Kong films come from the market? Perhaps, the local area is better. However, Hong Kong films have directly lost the Asian market.
Moreover, this idea, preferably in terms of plot.
Although, Tsui Hark did not agree with Chen Jiayi's idea very much. However, he also felt that what Chen Jiayi said was very reasonable. So, in order to relieve his nervousness, Tsui Hark made a phone call to Chen Jiayi.
"Haha, yes, I'm going to watch the premiere of Shushan Biography today, how does Director Xu feel about this film?"
For the whole film, the film company has always maintained a top secret posture. Besides, Chen Jiayi is also busy, so naturally he hasn't seen this film in advance.
"I'm not good at commenting, if you want to ask me, I'll naturally say yes."
"Okay, I'll go see tonight, if it's not good to turn around and scold you."
"Okay, if it's not good, you're not the only one who turns around and scolds me, and you don't have much."
After chatting with Chen Jiayi for a while, Tsui Hark relaxed a little. Then, Tsui Hark said, "Why don't we make a game today?" ”
"What game?"
"It's fun."
Tsui Hark looked excited, and then said, "Usually when a movie is released, the media will play a game. ”
"Oh, I see. Do you want to say, predict the global box office of Shushan Chuan? ”
Although Chen Jiayi was not a movie fan before, gossip news bombarded Chen Jiayi every day. Before a certain blockbuster comes out, a lot of gossip news will make predictions about such and such a movie. Just thinking about it, I guessed it.
"Mr. Chen is really smart."
"Okay, guess how much?"
Chen Jiayi asked.
"Global words, 1 ......"
Tsui Hark wanted to say $100 million, but he just felt that this $30 million investment was not too little. Then, emboldening himself, he said, 1. $500 million.
"Hahaha...... Hahaha......"
Hear Tsui Hark report 1. With $500 million in data, Chen Jia laughed.
"Why, don't you believe it?"
Tsui Hark also felt that he was exaggerating, in fact, $100 million was also exaggerated. However, European and American countries that have never been interested in Chinese movies have been full of interest in this "Legend of Shushan" after the trailer was broadcast. Until now, Shushan Biography has always ranked first in the film expectation list of European and American countries.
This also gave Tsui Hark a glimmer of confidence to enter the global market.
"No, I think it's too little."
For 2002, there is actually another movie worth looking forward to, that is, Zhang Yimou's hero. The film, if nothing else, will be released at the end of the year. Moreover, judging by the results of future lives. The world won 1. The box office of 700 million US dollars has achieved Zhang Yimou's film status.
A hero who has created many firsts in the history of domestic cinema. For example, the first film to beat European and American blockbusters in China, and the first film to win the box office championship in Europe and the United States for two consecutive weeks...... Moreover, the hero was also nominated for the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film.
I just don't know if the current Shushan Biography can create a miracle.
"No, what is Mr. Chen's prediction?"
Tsui Hark himself quoted 1. 500 million, he felt a little bragging. Unexpectedly, Chen Jiayi was more ruthless than him, but felt less.
"400 million."
"400 million?"
Tsui Hark thought Chen Jiayi was talking in his sleep.
"Yes, at least $400 million."
