On May 2, 2oo2, the American telecom operator, the famous portal AOL, finally gave up the long-term cooperation of the old search engine provider Overture, and turned to the warm embrace of goog1e, this news sent a very clear signal to the search field: the more technologically advanced goog1e has become unstoppable!

In order to salvage the decline, Overture decided to buy another long-established search provider, A1Tavista.

A1Tavista's revenue comes primarily from website advertising and a service called "pay-to-index", also known as algorithmic search, which is one of the earliest sources of website revenue, and the acquisition of this company can make up for the lack of its own business by acquiring this company!

It is worth mentioning that goog1e is also an enemy of a1tavista, and it was goog1e who snatched the contract from yahoo in the first place, and the company's revenue plummeted.

It's no secret in Silicon Valley that Yahoo and Goog1E share a bed, and seeing that the cooperation between the two sides is about to expire next year, Overture hopes to acquire A1Tavista through Guò, and then join Yahoo to fight against the increasingly powerful Goog1E!

But Yahoo also has its own plan, although Yahoo's board of directors rejected Yang Zhiyuan's proposal to acquire the double-click company, but out of self-protection and need, Yahoo proposed to acquire another search engine listed company, inkto, this company's annual revenue is about forty or fifty million, and it has a certain strength and market share.

Industry insiders are increasingly aware that even if technology stocks are picking up, there is inevitably a company with a market share of more than 7o% in the US search field.

One of Europe's largest comprehensive Chinese-language newspapers, the European Times of France, commented: "...... While they are trying to protect themselves. Song Chen and his executor Eric? Schmidt is already preparing to open the center to Europe and South America! If goog1e still has competitors in the United States, Russia, South Korea and other countries, Europe, like China, has hopelessly 'all fallen', and tens of millions of Internet users have already been loyal fans of goog1e, Jim? Fleming [President of GOOG1e Europe] could even look around and ask out loud: 'Who else'?" ”

On May 3, because of the generosity of Chenxing Culture Group, "Spider-Man", which had become the focus of global attention before the director's release, was released in 3,615 theaters in the United States, with a daily box office of 515o [original 436o] US dollars, and broke through the 100 million mark within 2 days [original three days], creating four box office records such as "the highest single-day box office for two consecutive days" and "the fastest cumulative breakthrough of 100 million and 200 million US dollars". The success of "Spider-Man" not only proves that American comic book heroes are deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, but also once again proves Song Chen's vision to cross the industry!

The box office miracle staged by "Spider-Man" not only made Song Chen once again a topic of conversation after dinner, but also pushed Sony Pictures to the forefront, not without writers criticizing Sony Pictures for being short-sighted.

Only real insiders don't think that Sony Pictures is losing, but the latter has mastered the exercise of Chenxing Pictures' ten-level hero films, which is a big business that will not lose money no matter what!

Therefore, although there are sharp voices within the Sony Group accusing Nobuyuki Idei of "selling assets" to his "prospective son-in-law", this kind of unresonant complaint cannot even form a resonance, because Sony Pictures has not lost anything. On the contrary, on the basis of more gains, there is less risk of loss!

It is worth mentioning that Song Chen's family contributed their strength to the box office of "Spider-Man", and on the day of the release, Song Chen took his huge wife and concubines and children. Spend a lively night in the luxury box of the local AMC cinema.

The reason why it was lively was that Song Chen's children were so excited, Song Can kept chattering, and his younger brothers and sisters were babbling. Obviously, I also like this "floating around" protagonist very much!

Song Chen couldn't help but sigh: "Hollywood is worthy of being the base camp of cultural invasion, and the movies made are really suitable for all ages!" I wonder if I can move "Journey to the West" to the screen, so that foreigners can also see the magnificent and profound fantasy world of our Chinese? ”

Zhang Ruoxi also praised: "I didn't feel it when I watched "Titanic" before. Now watching "Spider-Man", this kind of natural special effects, domestic martial arts dramas really can't be compared at all! ”

"Martial arts drama, ah......" Song Chen sighed slightly, thinking of the martial arts drama that evolved into "pseudo-fantasy" and "pseudo-magic" ten years later, he shook his head and said, "Mourn its misfortune, be angry with it!" To transform the power from film and television creativity to end consumers, it seems that only I can turn the tide! ”

Song Chen's narcissism obviously did not get a positive response, and what responded to him was Qi Qi's white eyes.

……

On May 4, a social networking site called Face Wave OK was officially launched, and the site initially attracted attention in the industry, not because it was a new subsidiary of the American Chenxing Group - people didn't even notice about the company at the beginning.

The reason why the industry is concerned is because the ads of this website appear in the dynamic display ads of Chenxing Network!

Since the listing of Chenxing Network in 1999, the scarce display resources in QQ are rarely sold to other companies, but as a promotion window for goods or products in the Chenxing system, Chenxing Entertainment, Alibaba Group, Ctrip.com, and Future-free are all frequent customers, and the first two are almost the largest customers!

The speculation of industry insiders has brought the attention of public opinion, but what really attracts global users is the dating function of FACE WAVE OK. Except for China, all active QQ users can see an ad: Find alumni, just look for alumni; That's right, alumni!

This is very close to the on-campus address book of the early face wave ok, but Song Chen didn't know it, thinking that it was Renren's "initiative" a few years later, but in fact this is still Neta's "feat"!

Although the cheap traffic in Chenxing's body is enough to make the face wave OK grow quickly, Song Chen has no need to ignore the important role of the function of "alumni directory" in building a familiar relationship chain because of the abundant resources he has mastered! Therefore, the route taken by Face Book in the early days is still the path that Renren once walked, but the strategy formulated by Song Chen for it is the opposite of the original Baidu, which is "America first and then China"!

Considering the Chinese government's consistent wariness of online products, this "post-China" strategy. Song Chen will obviously be more cautious than QQ, which has already become internationalized, because he is not sure when Chenxing Network will receive the "cut off the connection between QQ in the big 6 region and foreign QQ"!

If there is no accident, he will still use the "big 6 and global" spin-off method to avoid the policy risks!

As mentioned above, the difficulty of a successful social product without competitors is to get a batch of 1ooo users! The resources behind Facebook determine that it can get hundreds of millions of clicks in a day, even if it is only 1o% conversion rate, there are tens of millions of registered users!

Song Chen had prepared $100 million for Idei Ayaka and the server farm that had already been prepared in the Goog1e Digital Jù Center, and the reason why it collapsed, which he didn't know about, was that "the architecture was not enough to support high-volume visits", and it could never be a problem for Face. Because the basic telecommunication facilities in the Chenxing system have the habit of building in advance, sufficient funds also ensure that this policy can be effectively implemented!

So the success is obvious, if you are really worried, Song Chen is probably because he has not used Facebook, and his understanding of Renren is not even more familiar than its product "stealing vegetables" game, so in addition to the basic social chat function, he can point out that Izumi Caixiang is actually far less than the same brother QQ, so this is why Song Chen thinks that Izui Caixiang's partner must not only have "talent", but also have "momentum"!

Geek drive can sometimes turn "wild thinking" into "cool" products. Xu Xiaoling obviously has such capital to make her an engineer of Face Bo OK!

Similarly, with the advent of Facebook, the world began the era of "user-led content" two years ahead of schedule!

Song Chen didn't realize this at the time, considering that he really couldn't be absent from his youngest son's first birthday on the grounds of "busy work". So after arranging a plane ticket to Beiping, he drove to Los Angeles with Fan Xue, the newly appointed chairman of Chenxing Culture Group, and the inseparable "Hum Ha Erjun" to meet a director he had admired for a long time.

Christopher? Nolan, and his co-screenwriter David? S?Goyer!

Christopher? Nolan was born in London, England. Because her mother was a flight attendant, she often ran between the United States and the United Kingdom when she was a child, so her accent was more British. But sometimes he suddenly speaks in an American tone, and it is clear that he is familiar with the culture and living habits of both sides.

Nolan began his earliest filmmaking at the age of seven by filming his own toy soldier with his father's 8-camera, and when he was a child living in Chicago, he also worked with Rocco, who would later become a director and producer. Belik shoots a short film together.

After graduating from Haleybury College in Hertfordshire, London, he went on to study English Literature at University College London, where he formed the "16mm" club with some like-minded friends and made a number of short films.

In 1989, his realistic short film Tarantella was screened at ImageUnion, an independent film and video exhibition founded by PBS, and another short film, Theft, was screened at the Cambridge Film Festival in 1996.

One of his most well-known short films is "Antlacewing", shot in 1997 and 3 minutes long, which was included on the DVD "Netema16:B-Day TishShortfi1MS" in 2oo3.

In 1996, Christopher? Nolan made his first real film, "The Following," about a writer who gradually becomes a stalker. Nolan's charismatic approach and unrivalled inspiration and talent have brought Nolan to the spotlight in this black-and-white film, which is less than 7o minutes long, using flashbacks as the basic narrative language of the film, and then breaking through time on top of flashbacks, and pasting these fragments of time together to give the film an incredible length.

In 1998, the film was screened at the San Francisco Film Festival and received attention, and the following year Zeitgeist ran the film on a small scale, and during the release of "The Following," Nolan circulated the manuscript of the film's script to the audience, which was very successful. The structure of the film is a kind of non-chronological flashback, and when the audience sees the script, they will have a deeper understanding of the film, which Nolan thinks will help them a lot.

On March 16, 2oo1, Nolan's "Fragments of Memory" began to be screened in 11 theaters, which immediately won the explosive reputation of film critics, and also made the box office of the film rise.

This is one of Nolan's most vivid films in his cinematic language, black and white represent the beginning and the end respectively, and each advancement of the plot is enough for the audience to overturn the conclusions previously reasoned, and the most classic is that until the end of the film, each audience can find a different murderer according to their own thinking logic. Its ** ending has been embraced into different possibilities, and this possibility is enough to make the audience walk into the cinema 5 times.

"Fragments of Memory" is Nolan's second film in the true sense, the first large-scale production, the success of the film established Nolan's status in Hollywood in one fell swoop, and Nolan's narrative style movies began to become the talk of fans!

After the end of "Memory Fragments", Nolan, who became a first-line director, began to be a little unhappy, but the profit-seeking businessmen sniffed out Nolan's commercial potential, and did not wait for Nolan to conceive and write a script, and soon asked him to shoot a new play, and at this time Nolan did not have a complete script at hand.

So, a remake script called "Chasing the Murderer in the White Night" was placed in front of Nolan.

At this time, it is still 2oo1 years, history has come to this point, and Song Chen's "flapping butterfly wings" finally forcibly affected Hollywood, and he began to "distort" the fate of everyone inside and outside the circle! (To be continued!)
