Chapter 293, "The Man with Silk"
"But...... Even so, this web drama will still make the video portal look very pale! Yin Kai still added without giving up. ●⌒,
"That's right. But let Gong Yu explain this problem to you! He is in charge of the iQiyi project, and a lot of things are explained to you by him, a professional. Xu Rui smiled slightly, then sat back in his chair and looked at Gong Yu.
Seeing Xu Rui throwing the topic to himself, Gong Yu naturally would not fail to accept it.
So, Huo Ran got up and talked about the core concept of iQiyi and the main uses and development strategies at the current stage in simple terms.
Hearing Gong Yu say that iQiyi's current core is not only original content, but also based on the live video room, everyone including Yin Kai looked at Xu Rui again in a fog.
In 2009, how could they know that it would not be long before the popularity of the online video live broadcast room was enough to be described by the words 'terrifying', and the income of Chuangzào was definitely not less than that of medium-sized video websites.
No way, after all, Xu Rui's concept is six years ahead of these employees here, and now in this rapidly developing information age, the entire media situation will change dramatically in six years.
It is precisely because he understands this that Xu Rui will not use his prophetic memories to convince them.
The attitude shows that since Xu Rui has decided, then this group of people seems to have no better way to think of except to accept it.
What's more, the previous experience has proved that Xu Rui's vision and judgment in some aspects are indeed very unique, maybe the so-called online drama can really set off a boom on the Internet? It's not impossible.
"Hmm...... Now that you've decided what kind of web drama you want to do here, you said it's the genre of comedy shorts. What about the material? What is our direction? Su Yi asked with some confusion.
"Direction? Jokes, or some comedy plots, we magnify it and exaggerate it a little bit and knead it together.
Of course, I definitely don't mean to let everyone go down the road of plagiarism, to be precise, that is, everyone's brains should be a little opener, and the protagonist doesn't have to be simply Wei Guangzheng, in line with the comedy. Or maybe it's just a good name. ”
"Fitting the name?" Yin Kai blinked, he thought that Xu Rui just had a rough prototype in his mind, but now listening to Xu Rui's meaning, it seems that even the title of the film has been thought of. "What's the name?"
"The Man with the Sling!" Xu Rui said meaningfully.
"Sling? What do you mean? "Look at me, folks. I look at you, and there is a look of incomprehension in my eyes.
But they weren't to blame at all.
The word sling is an Internet term, the earliest time to appear was in 2012 in the post bar, and now it is only the second half of 2009, and it is reasonable for everyone to feel unfamiliar and incomprehensible about such a word.
"The sling is actually a kind of self-deprecation. To describe some people who are low or high, if they are used for comparison, the antonym of the sling is rich and handsome, to be precise, it is a self-deprecation of ordinary people to themselves, although there is a derogatory component, but it does not mean self-abandonment. ”
After thinking about it for a while, Xu Rui came up with such a sentence to explain the word 'sling', which was once popular on the Internet in 2012.
"Oh, I see. That is to say, it is mainly about the ups and downs of the little people? Yin Kai understood it at one point, and then asked rhetorically.
Xu Rui nodded when he saw this, in his opinion, only the little people are close to life and love life. And it can reflect the various states of life and resonate with the people.
This is not to say that hatred of the rich, but in a limited context, it is indeed appropriate to use small people to reflect certain social phenomena.
And "Sling Man" itself is not a tall web series, at best it is just a tribute to the German "Sling Lady".
It's just that the background and the plot in it have been changed to domestic, but generally speaking, it still maintains the original spoof style.
And this may be one of the reasons why this drama starring in the greenhouse can be so popular, because it is really down-to-earth, at least there will be no kind of bloody thing that makes embarrassment after watching it.
"You can pay more attention to the jokes on the Internet, or real-time news, and then collect and sort them out. I'll write the script. Xu Rui didn't plan to use the "Sling Man" in his memory to execute everything.
In that way, because of the difference in timing, many jokes will become out of place at this time.
Knowing the essence of this drama, Xu Rui can completely draw a scoop according to the gourd. Anyway, there is no comparison, and even Germany's "Lady Sling" will meet the audience in two years.
So such a web drama or a comedy short film came out, so it can basically be said to be the first in China.
Another reason that made Xu Rui determined to do this is that he has a natural advantage in terms of contacts in the entertainment industry.
In the original version of "Sling Silk Man", all kinds of star artists have joined in cameos, and with the current Xu Rui compared to the greenhouse before the filming of "Sling Man", Xu Rui's popularity and connections are far from being comparable to the greenhouse.
Such an excellent resource. Xu Rui will naturally not miss it in vain, and by taking such an opportunity, Xingrui's tentacles can also reach out to the TV field, laying a good foundation for the production of film and television dramas in the future.
If "Sling Man" is successful again, then the overall strength and influence of Xingrui Company will not be limited to the field of variety shows.
And if it is really popular, then even the iQiyi website will rise with the tide, and there will be no need to pull all kinds of naming fees at all, and advertisers will take the initiative to contact Xingrui Company.
It can be said that this is a very important move, although the bet is not on Xingrui Company as a whole, but for the current Xu Rui, he can't lose either.
The task was assigned to all the employees of Xingrui Company, and the meeting came to an end.
Today's Xu Rui can really be called a doppelganger, because he can't help but record "Tonight's Post-80s Talk Show", and at the same time, he also has to find time to deal with the matter of "The Idol is Coming".
However, this kind of busyness is all for laying the foundation for the near future, although Xu Rui is also struggling at times, as long as he thinks of the three women who have an unclear relationship with him, he feels that he can't stop.
Otherwise, after everyone is gone, what awaits him is to watch these three confidantes fall into the arms of others.
It can't be helped, the reality is so cruel. (To be continued.) )
