Chapter 202: Film Producer
Come quietly, meet quietly, leave quietly.
ZHANG Tan Weiwei. Bo has got a technical officer, and he will work for We. Bo's R&D provides comprehensive technical coordination, and the contract content is discussed tomorrow, and Zhang Tan goes to tea with Lei Jun in the afternoon.
While drinking tea, Lei Jun expressed his investment in micro. Bo's strong intention, or rather, Lei Jun's eagerness to transform into an angel investor, is very strong.
This was a bit puzzling to Zhang Tan at first, after all, Lei Jun was already one of the bigwigs of Jinshan, a big brother in the IT industry, why was he in such a hurry to make other investments. However, after returning in the evening, after getting Ma Weiwei's summary resume, Zhang Tan thought about it for a while and still understood a little.
Lei Jun has had a bad time in the past ten years.
Speaking of Lei Jun, this is also a young and famous figure, joined Kingsoft at the age of 22, and became the general manager of Kingsoft at the age of 29, the general manager of the domestic software giant, commanding Kingsoft and Microsoft to face each other, this scenery is really unlimited. However, in this position, Lei Jun has been "tortured" for seven or eight years, and in six years, Jinshan has hit the IPO four times, wanting to go public, but has failed four times.
Seeing the small characters, one by one, they have become Internet bigwigs, pig raising network Ding Sanshi, Shanda Chen Tianqiao, Du Niang Li Yanhong, and even became the richest man in China.
Can Lei Jun not be in a hurry.
He has been working on software in Jinshan for more than ten years, writing code for more than ten years, and when he looks up, the software industry as a whole is declining, but the Internet has missed the golden time for rapid development. And if he wants to change careers to the Internet, and with the fetters of Jinshan, the IPO has never been successful, and he, the general manager, is difficult to let go.
Right now. Jinshan intends to launch an impact on the IPO again, and Lei Jun is holding his breath. If you don't succeed, you will succeed. At the same time, you have to find a good way out for yourself. Angel investors are his retreat, which coincides with Zhang Tan's proposal for micro. Bo's concept, Lei Jun fell in love with it all of a sudden.
Amazon has been looking for Lei Jun's early years in Jinshan to start a business in the excellent network, no money to continue to develop Lei Jun, decided to sell the excellent network, after getting the money began to make investors, investment micro. Wide.
"Selling Excellence.com is equivalent to cutting off an arm, but it can also make Jinshan travel lightly. Now Xishanju is developing rapidly with "The Legend of the Condor Heroes". We have also started the project of the online game "Shooting the Condor". A WPS, a "Condor Shooting" game, Kingsoft IPO hope is imminent! ”
Lei Jun, as an IT model worker, is indeed the No. 1 person, firmly believing that people will win the day, doing technology seriously, and believing that technology can give returns.
Regarding Lei Jun's decision to sell Excellence.com, Zhang Tan can't deny it.
He had used a Xiaomi mobile phone in his previous life and had a fever for a while. Know a little bit of Lei Jun's news. Lei Jun is indeed a great investor, who has invested in companies such as Huanju Times (Crooked Y) and Xunlei, made a lot of money, and founded Xiaomi mobile phones. However, the case of Lei Jun's investment failure. The list goes on.
The most regrettable thing is undoubtedly the excellent net and rice. Talk about these two projects.
If he had been a little more bold, he would not have sold Excellence.com. Instead, increase investment, how can there be anything when the net, Tao. The living road of Baowang and Jingdong and others. It's the same as Amazon abroad. Unify e-commerce. Rice. It's the same with chatting, Lei Jun saw Mi. Talk about the prospects. But in Tencent launched the micro. After the letter, Lei Jun shrank again, not daring to face it.
Otherwise, now everyone is shaking the rice chat, not the micro. Letter, Mo. Strange.
"If I pull the Lei Army, then, crooked Y, m. Wouldn't it be a fortune to eat meat with chat and millet? Zhang Tan pondered silently, "Not necessarily, this world is a specious world after all, and Internet entrepreneurship is also changing, who knows what the result will be." ”
"No matter what, I will definitely have a foot in the Xiaomi mobile phone if I have a chance in the future...... As for the rest, I don't have the money to do it right now. ”
Zhang Tan is not a businessman, and he only wants to make some extra money when he invests in entrepreneurship.
So I quickly put these thoughts away, and now a micro. Bodu made his head big, let alone anything else.
"If others are like me, full of advanced thoughts, it is estimated that they are excited to sleep like chickens, thinking about how to make money all day long, but I feel that it is annoying to make these things."
"It's equivalent to, you can eat by being handsome, but you have to rely on craftsmanship to eat!"
"What is this?"
"It's the pursuit."
……
"Our name is young, and on the road of chasing our dreams, we are constantly moving forward, fearless, to explore, to change, and to struggle."
"Fall with tears in your eyes, smile again, and let the world see us as we are."
"In 2005, our time has come."
"Micro. Bo – Born for fever. ”
On the page of the www dot weibodot com website, there is a blank space, only the above paragraph, and a large box-shaped logo, which is micro. Bo's exclusive logo. On the green background, there are two white dialogs, one large and one small, each with two black dots, much like eyes.
Well, in fact, it's just that Zhang Tan is too lazy to bother to make a mistake. Bo thinks of a good logo, simply put the micro. The logo of the letter was brought to use. Anyway, this logo looks like two people in a conversation, and it looks like two cartoon characters, symbolizing communication, and the meaning is used in micro. Boshang is also available.
As for the name of the product, it is called "Micro. Bo", the English name "Weibo", means miniature Bo. Guest.
Zhang Tan roughly drew a micro. Bo's interface diagram, and then let the company's programmers and artists design the web page according to this interface. At the same time, the two versions of the computer and the mobile phone are developed together, although there is still a period of time before the smartphone, but it is not difficult for the mobile phone to access the Internet, but there are relatively few good mobile phone users who can access the Internet.
The website has not yet been developed, so the alternate interface only retains one image.
The text on the picture is Zhang Tan's plagiarism of Xiaomi's advertising "Our Times" on CCTV's Spring Festival Gala, and I feel that this line is quite forced, so I used it.
"Wait a minute, you put a small piece of software on the web page, which is a 'footprint', which allows users who browse to the web page to click on it, and then write a few words next to it 'leave footprints to prove that I have been here', and then count the number of clicks, I want to see how much attention we have on this site at present."
Looking at the white piece of the web page, there was nothing, Zhang Tan felt that it was very eye-catching, so he asked the programmer to touch it up.
"Well, add another note and put it at the bottom of the page: Micro. Bo is in the development of internal testing, please pay attention to the public beta time, please pay attention to the www point weibo point com website, Bei Bai Wei. Bo Technologies, LLC. ”
If all goes well, by June of this year, probably the open beta version of the micro. Bo can be put up and running.
……
Small. Beau is in preparation.
Zhang Tan did not pay attention to it all the time, and further discussions with Lei Jun's venture capital were also underway. And over there, the long-prepared "Four Famous Catchers in Kanto" TV series and the "Four Famous Catchers in Beijing" movie have held their respective start-up press conferences, and Zhang Tan attended.
Compared with Zhang Dabeard's filming of TV series, the shooting of Sonic Pictures is slightly inferior in terms of lineup, basically some second-tier actors or rookie actors, and there are no big-name stars to join.
In this regard, Zhang Tan was a little unhappy, he was fed by Zhang Dabeard's hype method, as well as the strategy of investing heavily in and increasing the number of stars, and he was a little disdainful of the small lineup. Fortunately, the director of the movie version invited the famous director Chen Gordon of Xiangxiang.
Chen Gordon is very famous in Xiangxiang, and he has made many classic Hong Kong films, and he has also won the Best Director of the Xiangxiang Film Awards. The year before last, he entered the mainland market with a "Old Cat Falls in Love with a Mouse", and Zhang Tan recognized his strength. In addition, the script is personally checked by Zhang Tan.
I believe that "The Four Famous Catchers of Beijing" will not be made into the "Four Famous Catches" in his memory, ruthlessly becoming a woman, and playing with superpowers, martial arts is not like martial arts, and science fiction is not like science fiction. I'd rather not have those messy cool shots than five-cent special effects.
Zhang Tan has always believed that martial arts can bring forth the new, but first of all, it is necessary to tell the story well.
"Dragon Gate Flying Armor" directed by Xu Laowei is a good martial arts film, and when taking into account the special effects, it does not make the plot too dry and rough.
The form of "The Four Famous Hunters" should rely on "Dragon Gate Flying Armor", not on "X-Men".
Chen Gordon is a professional director and doesn't mind Zhang Tan dictating the script.
And Sonic Business also hopes to borrow Zhang Tan's fame as much as possible to attract his readers and fans to pay for the movie. Therefore, after several dinners back and forth, Shao Xiaofeng, the general manager of Sonic Sales, invited Zhang Tan to serve as the producer and screenwriter of "The Four Famous Catchers".
Of course, the producer is not one, Zhang Tan is mainly responsible for the control of the content of the film.
Zhang Tan was a little apprehensive, he had no experience in this area, but Shao Xiaofeng mentioned it at the wine table, and as soon as the wine was strong, he agreed. This is his first novel adaptation of a movie, success or failure is crucial, and he is really not at ease when it is completely handed over to others. Acting as a screenwriter and supervising the filming can help the quality to some extent.
He is a martial arts lover, and he has watched novels and movies.
Needless to say, old movies, Xiaoao Jianghu series, New Dragon Gate Inn, Crane Divine Needle, etc., I have watched it N times. Compared with the later martial arts films, I also watched a lot. For example, Xu Laowei's "Dragon Gate Flying Armor", two Di Renjie, "Sword Rain", "Jinyi Guard", etc., are all remarkable.
Revenge, treasure grabbing, conspiracy and scam, children's affection, weapons with all kinds of tricks, tricky and fast martial arts, basically the selling points of martial arts movies are like this.
Delete and delete the lengthy story of "The Four Famous Hunters", and add and add elements of martial arts films in memory, it is easy to create a commercial martial arts movie.
As soon as this movie succeeded, the series of the four famous catches was truly justified.
At that time, if others made bad films, it didn't matter what happened to the novel, but the director and screenwriter had no ability, and it didn't affect the adaptation cost.
All in all.
Zhang Tan must have thought that he was not busy enough, and as soon as his brain was hot, he found such a job for himself.
After the mind cleared, it was blinded for a while.
"Film producer, screenwriter; Small. Bo company, product development; the creation of "Xiao Li Flying Knife"; directing department classes; Falling in love with Susa...... I'm so cheap and tired! ”
"What about the chic life that you said you had?" (To be continued.) )
