Chapter 354: President President Ma's Ambitions
In fact, as early as 14 years, Ali Group began to enter the film and television industry. Alibaba Pictures, a subsidiary of the www.biquge.info of the company, has reached cooperation agreements with many well-known directors, and is also one of the strategic shareholders of Spielberg's entertainment company AmblinPartners.
For example, the reason why Hollywood was able to rise in the late 70s and early 80s and quickly surpass European films, which are famous for their literary films, is that in addition to targeting the direction of film production and distribution to entertainment films with a wider audience, the main reason is that the United States has gradually perfected and matured the film industry system. One of its hallmarks is Lucas's Star Wars series.
This sci-fi blockbuster "Star Wars 1", launched in 1977, officially represents the beginning of American films led by Hollywood to get rid of the influence of European films and start their own road to sweep the world. The various excellent films produced will quietly influence every audience in the name of blockbusters to achieve the purpose of cultural invasion. Together with military technology, which has also developed to the point where it has no rivals, it has become a means for the United States to demonstrate its strong influence.
Even President President Ma himself grew up in this environment, and for a long time was influenced by this, taking the American culture reflected in Hollywood movies as one of his goals.
It can be seen that the film industry has a strong influence on cultural public opinion.
Quietly can change a person's impression of other countries, and then feel good about where they live as their lifelong goal of immigration. It is no wonder that the film industry, which has a market size of only tens of billions of US dollars, will be regarded as synonymous with a country's soft power.
Now, there is an opportunity to surpass Hollywood movies, and President President Ma is worried about himself, and he definitely does not intend to give up.
Compared with ordinary movies that lack special effects and the ultimate viewing experience, the box office of 3D blockbusters led by "Avatar" has already told him the answer, this is a huge gold mine that has not yet been discovered by the world, waiting for those who are prepared to dig it.
It's just that for the sudden change of President President Ma, Liang Yu is a little puzzled, obviously some time ago very passionately said, even when the situation is unclear, he has been helping him to contact contacts everywhere and publicize the plan, and now seeing that the results are about to settle, he actually doesn't plan to do it?
"Lao Ma, are you really not going to engage in the education industry with me?" Liang Yu asked curiously, although he also knew that holographic shooting was the future development direction of the film industry, including television, computers and other flat terminals will be replaced by more realistic holographic media, but everyone knows the situation in China, it is really mud that can't support the wall. Since the decline of the once-glorious Hong Kong movies, there are few domestic films that can be called classics, and most of them are synonymous with shoddy production, and can only rely on gimmicks such as face and selling star effects to attract fans to watch.
He is broad enough to touch his conscience, even if he gives the world-leading film shooting technology to this group of domestic directors, he doesn't have to think that he can catch up with Hollywood in a short time, and almost get rid of the previous problem of cutting corners.
Looking at Liang Yu's undisguised disdain for domestic films, President President Ma laughed and said bluntly: "You know, I once said." One of my biggest dreams is to make a martial arts movie and play the role of Feng Qingyang, and now, there is such an opportunity in front of me, I am not ready to let go, I also want to have countless audiences to see and appreciate my unique acting image. ”
"Hopefully....." Liang Yu glanced at President Ma who looked like an alien wordlessly, and couldn't think of what effect such a clear wind would bring when he appeared, but he still nodded and understood.
Indeed, with his understanding, President President Ma has a good relationship with many figures in the domestic film industry, especially several heavyweights who have caused the glory of Hong Kong films, Li Lianjie, Cheng Long, Zhou Xingxing, etc., and they can often be seen appearing together in media reports. With such basic conditions, coupled with the name of holographic movies, it is easy to invite these star directors to join and participate, and it is not difficult to even assemble an all-star lineup, of course, films like "Building X Great Cause" and "Building X Great Cause" are not counted.
It's just that, in addition to these people who have excellent works guaranteed, the concept of holographic movies may become another gimmick for some unscrupulous directors and actors to hype up money like bad movies like "Jue Ji" and "Fuchun Mountain Residence".
Liang Yu's pessimistic view did not affect President President Ma's interest in joining the film industry, and he waved his hand and said: "No need to persuade, I have made a bold statement that the scale of the domestic film market can reach more than 200 billion." For this reason, I have invested tens of billions of dollars in Alibaba Pictures, and I don't mind continuing to throw money into it. What's more, I'm full of confidence now, with the hologram shooting equipment you provide, even if I find a bunch of rotten people to come over, I can guarantee that I won't lose money, so I don't have to worry about the market not being able to cultivate. ”
"In order to be a hit, I am ready to gather the best producers in China, and I must make sure to do the best of the first few holographic films, and even sell them abroad!" President Ma spoke, already immersed in his wonderful ideas.
Compared with Hollywood's production and special effects, it is obviously unattainable in China, but it does not mean that they have no way to surpass the film effect. The most powerful thing about holographic movies is that they can bring the audience an immersive feeling, from the perspective of the real people in the movie, to experience the various plots that have happened, rather than as an outsider. Therefore, in addition to sci-fi and magic blockbusters that often use special effects and large scenes, in fact, the most suitable holographic movie content for start-up is suspense, urban, and martial arts with relatively simple production types.
There's nothing more moving than experiencing what is happening around you.
In this regard, President Ma has no doubt that the box office after it is produced will create a miracle of domestic films.
Of course, for this reason, Liang Yu refused to continue to participate in the layout of the education industry, not only because of his love for the film industry, but also because he didn't want to take risks.
As the most important under his name is also a series of industrial core payment of Yu Bao, now the scale of social idle funds has exceeded one trillion, in terms of the economy, in addition to the central bank that has the right to issue banknotes, it can be said that it can move with the four major state-owned banks, if you meddle in the education industry that has a serious impact on the society, the devil knows how many people can't help but shoot at him. Just look at the arduous journey of Alipay products along the way, few people will rest assured that the control of such an important pillar industry will be handed over to private companies, and one has made countless people scruples, let alone two.
But Liang Yu is different, he is from a technical background, and at the same time, he does not occupy many shares of the company, and his management of the company is actually in a state of being in a state of shaking off his hands.
Such a person is not only the most reassuring to others, but also because of his own ability, he can be supported by most people. After all, no one will have trouble with money, and so far, how many enterprises have been invigorated by his technological inventions and creations, and how many people have been able to create jobs. This kind of guy who doesn't stare at other people's jobs, but takes the lead in stealing food from his opponent, no one will not like it.
But the most important thing is that the other party will not be collectively ostracized by the education community like himself.
In every industry or field, there will be a relatively close-knit circle.
It is either divided by geography, or according to the school of graduation, and then it is more intimate blood relationship and teachership.
Even if President President Ma has consciously become the richest man in China and the leader of the e-commerce industry, he does not dare to expect that the scholars and masters of the academy can fully accept him, unlike Liang Yu, with his knowledge, background and the field of work he will often engage in in the future, he must be inseparable from the circles of major universities.
Even if it is for their own interests, these researchers and scientists, who have become accustomed to a low-key lifestyle, will hope that there will be a powerful person to help them speak out and speak for them in the future.
That's why he overestimated the difficulty of this at the beginning.
Who would have thought that this kid could persuade and win the support of major universities so easily, and he planned to find a suitable time in the future to ask others to pay some price to let him quit.
