Chapter 497 Video Platform Exposed, Are You Questioning My Professionalism?

Although he changed the field twice last night and was busy for most of the night, the next day, Wu Hu still got up early and went out to exercise and did tai chi.

The only fly in the ointment may be that there are no more uncles and aunts around him to ask him for advice and satisfy his vanity of being a good teacher.

After breakfast, Yahuazi and the others were still resting, and Wu Hu drove the cool sports car that Yahuazi sent him to the company.

It's a pity that the handsome supercar hit the road, but it couldn't blow up the street, which is a pity. Downstairs in the company, sure enough, there was a bunch of entertainment records there, and when they saw this handsome supercar appearing here, everyone was just stunned, and they went up directly.

In this regard, Wu Hu did not escape, but got out of the car directly, "Everyone don't block here, it's not good to affect other people's work, go upstairs and drink tea!"

Everyone likes Wu Hu's single-minded temperament and will not treat them as enemies. Although they occasionally take quotes out of context and deliberately make some attractive headlines, as long as it is not very excessive, Wu Hu can turn a blind eye and never warn in a lawyer's letter.

went upstairs, and Wu Hu took people directly to the conference room.

In the conference room, Kang Zhi was in a meeting with several department heads, in fact, there were not many people in the company, and when it was full, there were less than eighty, and most of them were behind-the-scenes staff, such as makeup artists, props artists, and lighting engineers.

These people usually don't come to the company, and most of the people who come to the company are some administrative staff and screenwriters, such as the accounting department, the personnel department, and so on.

Seeing Wu Hu coming with a group of reporters, everyone got up to say hello, and then Kang Zhi coughed lightly, waved his big hand, and took people directly to his office.

When everyone was seated, the company's staff brought a bottle of water to those entertainers.

Wu Hu asked for a bottle of ice, took a handful, and then said, "If there is anything you want to ask, just ask! It's been half an hour, I haven't been to the company for a long time, and I'm going to be busy for a while."

"Fat Tiger, do you still fight with boxing champion Mayweather? There's been no news about this lately, so isn't the other party afraid to fight you?" Wu Hu shook his head, "I don't know if he doesn't dare, but the BA side looks down on me a little and doesn't want to give me the same appearance fee as Mayweather, so the negotiation is deadlocked."

When Zhongyu heard this, his eyes lit up, and he lowered his head and began to write. Wu Hu believes that this news will reach the bald eagle, and if they don't put some pressure on BA, they really treat themselves as onions. You know, on the Bald Eagle side, there is not only one BA. "Fat Tiger, I heard that you have opened an IT company in the capital again?"

Wu Hu laughed when he heard this, "You guys are quite powerful! "

In fact, this matter has long been uploaded on the Internet, and even if you go to Tianyan to check it, you can find out that Wu Hu has only a few companies under his name, one is his own studio, one is New World Media, one is King Games, and the other is now Xiaohu Technology.

The three executives of Xiaohu Technology are all from the previous king game, which is wrong at a glance, especially Xiaohu Technology still has the word 'tiger'. Moreover, these three people were originally Wu Hu's college classmates, and they didn't hear about their quarrel.

So, the only thing that can be explained, that's it.

"Fat Tiger, as far as we know, Xiaohu Technology's industry is online video, that is to say, you have also started to enter the online video sector now, and compete for business with other video companies?" Youyu Ji asked, "But now that all major video networks are losing money, aren't you afraid that all the money you make will be filled into this bottomless pit?"

Wu Hu nodded and said, "I did find someone to create a video website, and I am indeed prepared to lose money, but our video platform is a little different from the platforms of major video companies. As for what are the differences, I can only explain them to you when the software development is completed, and there is no physical object now, so I will not be able to explain it for a while." "Fat Tiger, what made you want to create a video platform? Isn't it true that today's major video platforms can't meet your needs?"

"It's not that those video platforms don't meet my needs, it's that I came up with a more interesting idea and found someone to develop it. Of course, what I think is funny, people don't necessarily find it fun, so we can only say that we will see it when the time comes."

Seeing that he couldn't ask for more news about this video platform from Wu Hu's mouth, Yu Ji changed the topic, "Fat Tiger, Star Company has postponed this season's survival show, when will it start, do you have any news?"

Wu Hu shook his head and said, "No! I asked them, and they said they were still discussing, and I don't know what they were discussing, maybe it was about cooperation with other countries!"

"Fat Tiger, you should know about those votes on the Internet! Do you think you're a good fit to play as a captain or as a star?" "Of course, I want to play as a star! In this way, our team will have two survival masters, which is very advantageous! However, the program team probably won't agree."

"Fat Tiger, do you think you're a master of survival in the wild?"

"What? Are you questioning my professionalism?"

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help laughing.

Then Zhongyu Ji asked about the post-production of "Ghost" as usual, as well as the broadcast date, and asked about the second part of the embroidered spring knife and when "Shocking Demon Thieves" will be released. At the end, he asked him what he thought of Da Yao's victory this time.

As soon as the time of half an hour was up, Wu Hu got up.

When Wu Hu came out of the conference room and returned to the office, he saw that the assistant Xiao Luo had come to work and was tidying up his desk. Before he could tease his little assistant, Kang Zhi came in.

Kang Zhi came to report on the progress of the plays invested by the company, as well as the projects to be invested in the second half of the year.

The later production of "The Fox Wife in the Mountain Village" has been completed, and the release is being arranged, and there is almost no publicity in terms of publicity, after all, it is a small-budget horror movie.

It seems that he is preparing to win by word of mouth, and then slowly expand the scale of the release, so that even if he loses, he will not lose much.

"Embroidered Spring Knife 2" is still in the late production stage, and the progress is more than halfway, and "Lucky Key" and "Shocking Demon Thieves" have just entered post-production. "Wolf Warrior" has not yet been completed, and it is estimated that the filming will end in August. This movie is much earlier than the one in another time and space, and after the New Year this year, Wolf Warrior Jing began to prepare, and filming began from February to May.

Wu Hu also doesn't know if "Wolf Warrior", which came out in advance, has the same power as another time and space. So he planned to take time to visit the class in a few days, and by the way, add a little heat to this movie, after all, he is now a walking topic maker.

Now is the hot weather in Jinling, and it is estimated that the crew of "Wolf Warrior" is having a hard time!

Thinking of this, Wu Hu remembered his skills in driving tanks and planes.

Looks like you can go over and try your hand!

At this time, Wu Hu's thoughts had already begun to fly.

It wasn't until Kang Zhi mentioned "Thai Embarrassment" that he came back to his senses. "Thai Embarrassment" has now started filming, and New World Media invested 40 million to cooperate with Guangguang, and Guangguang invested 10 million.

Originally, it was said that the cost was 40 million, but after calculation, the 40 million investment could not be held at all, and the director's salary, actors' salaries, and screenwriter's fees for Xu Guangtou added up to 8 million, which is a lot higher than his market price.

This is also Wu Hu's secret proposal to Kang Zhi, so that if Xu Guangtou asks to sign a box office reward agreement or something, his appearance will be a little ugly.

I have to say that Wu Hu's intentions in this move are actually quite sinister. But in Xu Guangtou's view, New World Media gave him so much, which is too open.

Sure enough, after getting a salary much higher than the market price, Xu Guangtou, who felt respected, never made other excessive requests. It can also be seen from this that Xu Guangtou never thought that the box office would explode.

As for the salaries of the black-skinned Huang Bo and Wang Baobao, they also went according to the market price, and they did not force the family to act at a friendly price just because they were friends.

Free things are often the most expensive, and it can be seen at a glance from the revenue sharing of this drama in another time and space. Huang Bo starred in zero pay, and finally took away tens of millions.

Now, the combined salaries of the three of them are almost 20 million. Therefore, the investment cost will be pulled to 50 million.

In this regard, Wu Hu naturally will not

Say more, this movie, even if the investment account reaches two or three hundred million, it will be earned in the end, as long as there are no accidents.

Of course, in the end, if it can really be a box office hit like another time and space, you still have to come up with some income to reward everyone as a red envelope.

Although Wu Hu is now a capitalist, he can only be regarded as half, after all, he is still a literary and artistic worker, and he cannot be compared with a real capitalist.

In addition to the investment in "Thai Embarrassment", there are also two low-budget horror films in the pipeline.

Although "The Fox Wife in the Mountain Village" has not yet been released, there is no worry about recovering the cost, and the cooperation with the movie channel and video platform has been negotiated, and most of the cost has been recovered.

In terms of TV series, although Wu Hu did not write any more scripts, the company's screenwriting department was not idle, created an original family ethics drama, and adapted some of the copyrights that Wu Hu asked Kang Zhi to buy. is now being adapted, including "The Legend of the Ancient Sword".

Wu Hu has no impression of that family ethics drama, after all, although he has watched a lot of TV dramas in another time and space, he has not watched many family ethics dramas.

Kang Zhi intends to let Tie Tie star in the starring role, after all, Tie Tie's image is very neighborly.

In this regard, Wu Hu is not admitted, especially after reading this script at random and finding that the nature of this script is a bit like "Big Husband", that is, the feeling of an old husband and a young wife.

The essence of the ghost is the love between the uncle and the girl, so the feeling that this script gives Wu Hu is a bit like borrowing from the old and the young to match the feeling.

Therefore, he felt that there was no need for Tie Tie to return such a scene, lest he turn around and be said that she fried cold rice, and at the same time her image was fixed.

What's more, the heroines in the play are almost thirty years old, how old is Tie Tie? Usually the girly feeling is strong, and there is no problem with saying that she is a high school student.

Yu rejected Kang Zhi's proposal, and recommended Sister Strawberry by the way.

As for "The Legend of the Ancient Sword", this is actually a game, which is the work of Haicheng Cheng and a game company, and Wu Hu crossed that meeting before it came to market. Later, when Wu Hu asked Kang Zhi to buy film and television adaptation rights on a large scale, Wu Hu named him to win the adaptation rights.

However, the other game company retains some rights, that is, they can adapt the game if they want, but they have the right to participate in part of the investment. Now that the game is popular, they naturally won't hand over all the rights and interests to New World Media.

Hearing this drama, Wu Hu thought of Da Mimi, because in another time and space, this drama is starring Da Mimi. As for the male protagonist, Wu Hu also thought of the 'eater' who was caught, this actually debuted in the draft as early as 07, and was originally a musician, but compared to Wu Hu, the speed of this popularity is a little worse. Wu Hu can make people envious, jealous and hateful here, after becoming popular, he has never felt weak, and he is still getting higher and higher, all the way to the world.

This kind of popularity speed is simply unreasonable.

But now, listening to Kang Zhi's meaning, he has the idea of inviting Yahuazi to pick the beam.

When Wu Hu heard this proposal, he shook his head silently in his heart, and Yahua's mother probably didn't like it. Wu Hu also felt that there was no need to let Yahuazi continue to act in this drama, not that he couldn't watch this drama, but he had to give others some opportunities!

For example, Tietie and Mina, Mina believes that she is a student, but now she is becoming more and more Buddhist, and it is not good for people to become lazy, so she has to be given some opportunities to let her come out and do business.

In the end, Kang Zhi brought up the old matter again, and proposed to Wu Hu that the company create an artist agency department, sign some artists, or invite external actors for all plays, and feel like making wedding dresses for others.

Moreover, if the company is popular with artists, it can also recover some benefits from the artists, which is what all entertainment companies do. Now that New World Media has a lot of resources, there is no need to be cheap all the time for artists from other entertainment companies, right?

As long as New World Media is willing to sign artists, there will definitely be many artists who are willing to defect to them. Because of the signing of New World Media, it is very likely that you will have the opportunity to go international.

Yahuazi followed Wu Hu to the world, which is the best proof. Of course, Yahuazi's original brokerage contract was also from Bald Eagle's side, and she once made an 'international blockbuster' like "The King of Kung Fu". But because this film didn't make any waves abroad, so

With the filming of "Shocking Demon Thieves" with Wu Hu this time, he was regarded as Wu Hu holding his teeth and running to the world.

Not to mention this year, even ten years later, running internationally, the attraction of artists is still undiminished, after all, as long as you have an international title or something, your value will be different.

But Wu Hu is still unacceptable about this, although Kang Zhi's proposal is not wrong, but if you sign some actors, you have to be responsible for these actors, so you need to catch up with the show, and at the same time, you will also form a competition with other entertainment companies.

This is contrary to his purpose of 'being kind to others and making a lot of friends'.

What's more, after signing some actors and making the other party popular, the other party is bound to ask for more, and people's hearts will not be easily satisfied. Rather than tear your face then, it's better not to start now.

But if Kang Zhi is not given a reason to be satisfied, he will definitely feel stupid.

So Wu Hu said: "With the advent of the traffic era, major external capitals have entered the entertainment industry one after another, and actors' salaries have skyrocketed, and many artists have begun to build their own studios. And the company currently has four female artists (Yahuazi and Tie Tie, and Mina is one of the shareholders, and Sister Strawberry is an artist in his studio, which is also one of the company's artists), if you sign again, you can only sign men, do you think it is still necessary?"

Kang Zhi was still digesting Wu Hu's words, and heard Wu Hu say again: "You also said that some artists are willing to come to our side because they want to go international with me, so do you think these actors will seize the resources of Sissi and Tietie after they come? If it's a male artist, will it take away my resources?"

After a pause, Wu Hu continued: "Moreover, if a new artist is popular, if the signing conditions we give are too harsh, it will inevitably be poached, if the signing conditions are very ordinary, although we have earned, we will not earn much. If the artist's personality accidentally collapses, then everything that was invested before will be wasted." The more Wu Hu said, the more justified he became, "Why haven't I been in the business of artist management? In addition to these reasons, there is a more important point, that is, when we are filming, we will not be limited by our own artists in casting, and we can freely choose actors who are more in line with the role, and we can say no to other companies. Once we have our own artist agency, then it is inevitable to exchange some resources with other companies, and then people will add some unsuitable artists to come in, do you agree or not?"

Kang Zhi was still thinking about his words, Wu Hu had already lit the script of the ethical drama, "A script like this, we can cooperate with other companies, Tie Tie's character design is not very in line with the heroine, you can try it for Sister Strawberry, and the other actors will be handed over to other companies, and the director can find the director Xia Xiaoyun or Li Xue" Kang Zhi felt a little stunned for a while, Wu Hu's words, at first glance, seemed to be very reasonable, but he always felt that something was not quite right.

Why can't they do what other companies are doing? Even if there are risks of one kind or another, it is something to consider in the future!

The artist set up a collapsed house, and public relations is it! Look at Mr. Zhang's son, even if something like that happened, wouldn't he also appear in front of the public now?

Indeed, in May, Zhang Gongzi and Yan Zu's movie "Inseparable" was released, and it didn't seem to be affected much.

As for what Wu Hu said, the company has four female artists, and it is not suitable to sign female artists again, he can understand and accept it. But why can't male artists sign it? Even if you can't compete with the boss for international resources, there are a lot of male artists who are willing to sign a contract!
