Chapter 252: A New Generation of Kung Fu Actress Bai Xiaolu!

After dealing with the affairs of Hengdian, Zheng Wentong returned to Puhai. Bai Xiaolu filmed exterior locations in Jinghai City when filming "Ode to Joy", but he only stayed for half a month. She has to live in Hengdian for a few months this time, and she is a little uncomfortable, because she has been separated from her boyfriend for too long.

Bai Xiaolu felt a little surprised, because when she was alone in Hangzhou as an online store model, she had adapted to living alone. As a result, not long after separating from her boyfriend this time, Bai Xiaolu was actually quite uncomfortable.

After Bai Xiaolu expressed his longing for her boyfriend in WeChat, Zheng Wentong sent Sister Wan to Bai Xiaolu's side to take care of Bai Xiaolu's life after consulting Sister Wan's opinion.

Bai Xiaolu was full of vitality in an instant, and he didn't have too much fun playing with his best friends Yang Zi and Hehe. Girls who play with their boyfriends definitely don't have fun with their girlfriends, and vice versa.

After returning to the company, Xu Ru reported to Zheng Wentong about his recent work. Crowdfunding has completed a single angel round of financing of 2 million, led by IDG Capital.

Xiong Xiaoge recognized Zhang Yi's personal ability, and when IDG Capital invested in the interconnection, he contacted Zhang Yi, the technical director, several times. Although crowdfunding belongs to the slope system, it can only be regarded as an affiliated company of the slope system, and in the subsequent rounds of financing, the slope investment will gradually complete the exit and transfer of equity.

Weke Xinke's Series B financing has not yet been finalized, and the two major investors, Ahri and IDG Capital, hope that Slope Investment can merge Tik Tok from Slope Investment to Micro Ke Xinke, which will help improve the overall valuation of Tik Tok.

In exchange, the two major shareholders, Ahri and IDG Capital, agreed to pay $600 million for the acquisition of Weke Xinke to Slope Investment, and Tik Tok naturally became an overseas subsidiary of Weike Xinke, and the overseas revenue business can also become a new highlight in Weike Xinke's financial statements.

Slope Investment bought Tik Tok for $600 million, and Microgram Information Technology bought Tik Tok for another $600 million. It seems that it is just an overall transfer of shares in Tik Tok, which is not a loss for slope investment, but Zheng Wentong will not easily satisfy the wishful thinking of IDG Capital and Ahri.

Zheng Wentong's acquisition of TikTok was financed by a billion-dollar loan from Li Chaoren's family, and Zheng Wentong also provided part of the equity of Blue Star Games as a pledge. The financial cost of one billion dollars a year is also tens of millions of dollars. How could Zheng Wentong agree to the acquisition of Tik Tok at the original price by Weke Xinke?

Moreover, if tik tok is merged into the name of Weke Xinke, it will certainly push up the overall valuation of Weke Xinke, but it is not conducive to the development of Tik Tok's overseas business. Because the mainland's Internet regulatory policies are different from those in Europe, the United States, Southeast Asia, South Asia, and the Middle East, Zheng Wentong must develop a promotion method that is tailored to local conditions in order to help TikTok Tok better promote to other countries and regions.

After the merger of the overseas version of Weiyin and TikTok Tok, there are currently more than 100 million overseas users of TikTok Tok, and the fans of Li Ziqi's TikTok Tok account have also exceeded the 5 million followers mark, and Bai Xiaolu's TikTok Tok account also has 1 million followers.

There are two main reasons why Bai Xiaolu's number of fans can break through the million mark, first, Forbes magazine said that she is the richest actress in Asia, and second, the aerial sword kicking video released by Bai Xiaolu has a high number of views.

Many overseas media have described Bai Xiaolu as a new generation of kung fu actresses in the mainland. The Los Angeles Times commented that Bai Xiaolu is the successor of Michelle Yeoh, Maggie Cheung and Zhang Ziyi, and looks forward to Bai Xiaolu's new work. In the impression of foreigners, we Chinese know how to do kung fu, just like we think that people in Sichuan Province have a giant panda at home.

Bai Xiaolu also recorded a video to thank the overseas fans who followed her, answered the questions raised by the fans in English, and circled her fans again.

Zheng Wentong said to his girlfriend: "You studied tourism English when you were studying, and you didn't even work as a tour guide for a day, so you probably didn't expect that English could come in handy at this time, right?" ”

Bai Xiaolu believes that knowledge is never useless, and it will always show you her value at a certain stage of life that you didn't expect. For overseas fans, there is still a big difference between fluent English and stumbling English.

Bai Xiaolu answered the fan's question, she doesn't know kung fu, this sword kicking action can be mastered by everyone after a long time of study, mainly because Teacher Zhao Wenzhuo teaches it well. The five TikTok tok accounts that Bai Xiaolu follows are Zheng Wentong, Zhong Lifang, Li Ziqi, Yin Tengcai and Li An, and Li Ang also closed Zhong Lifang, Bai Xiaolu and Zheng Wentong.

This move is meaningful, when a reporter interviewed Zhong Lifang and asked Ang Lee if he was the director selected for the Pony Galloping heroine movie, Zhong Lifang played Tai Chi, "We are in contact with a lot of directors, in addition to Ang Lee, there are also Russo brothers, Spielberg and so on." ”

The reporters were like thousands of horses galloping, "Why don't you say that you also contacted Cameron and asked Cameron to shoot this movie?" ”

The reporter asked again about the name of the big heroine movie, and Zhong Lifang responded that it was not yet confirmed, but the ancient heroine Mulan played by the heroine.

When the reporter asked if the actor of Mulan was Bai Xiaolu, Zhong Lifang began to go around in circles again, "When our company makes movies, we first pay attention to whether the actor is suitable for this movie, and it has nothing to do with the identity of the actor." ”

"We chose Ma Li as the heroine of "The Richest Man in Tomatoes", "I want us to be together", director Xue Xiaolu set the heroine Tang Wei, and the heroine of "The Wandering Earth" is Zhao Jinmai. If we decide on the name of the movie and the heroine, we will announce it to the public as soon as possible. Zhong Lifang said.

Zhong Lifang knew Zheng Wentong's plan, and after Bai Xiaolu won the Magnolia Award for Best Supporting Actress in the first half of the year, Pony Galloping announced that Bai Xiaolu would become the heroine of "The Legend of Mulan".

The filming time of "The Legend of Mulan" was from the second half of 17 to the first half of 18, and when the time came, I had to go to the northwest region to shoot exterior scenes, and there were also grand scenes of nomads facing off immediately, and thousands of extras were used, and the shooting cost would certainly not be low.

For Pony Galloping, it is natural that "The Legend of Mulan" is well filmed, and it is not worthy of praise, after all, the capital investment is so large. But in case the word of mouth fails, Zheng Wentong, Bai Xiaolu and Zhong Lifang will be overwhelmed with bad reviews.

Zheng Wentong can't avoid a capricious negative evaluation of capital, and it is difficult for Bai Xiaolu to receive suitable film resources, and Zhong Lifang also needs to take responsibility for the box office failure of "The Legend of Mulan".

The promotion and distribution of a film is a long-term and long process, from the establishment of the script, the formation of a team, the promotion of the group, to the release, it is necessary to maintain a certain exposure rate to maintain the popularity of the movie.

Fans actually don't care about the actor who is praised by the capital, their requirements are very simple, no matter who you want to support, first of all, the movie must be good-looking, and if the movie is not good, then don't blame the fans for scolding the street.

If Zheng Wentong doesn't plan to mix in the entertainment industry in the future, it doesn't matter if "The Legend of Mulan" pounces, after all, his main business is investment and the Internet. But if Zheng Wentong wants to run the pony galloping well, the reputation of fans is still quite important.

For example, Zheng Wentong arranged for Bai Xiaolu to star in Qu Xiaoxuan in "Ode to Joy", PK dropped Wang Ziwen, and Wang Ziwen later collaborated with Wang Kai in "If Snails Have Love".

However, the drama "If Snails Have Love" is mediocre, but Qu Xiaoxuan played by Bai Xiaolu is particularly outstanding, and fans of the drama have begun to look forward to the broadcast of the second season, and can't wait to see the reunion of the five beauties of Ode to Joy again.

After Yang Zi knew that Bai Xiaolu would star in "The Legend of Mulan", she felt a little bad in her heart, and she knew that she should not be jealous of her best friend Bai Xiaolu.

After Yang Zi finished filming "Fragrant Honey Sinks Like Frost", Yang Zi will partner with Li Xian in the urban drama "Dear, Loved", which is also an S-level TV series.

According to the investment cost of TV series, the lineup, and the broadcast platform, the two dramas "Xiangmi" and "Dear, Loved" can send Yang Zi to the position of a top actress and become the first person in the post-90s Xiaohua.

But there is still a big difference between movie coffee and TV coffee, Yang Zi's film resources have always been unsatisfactory, she is actually very envious of Zhou Dongyu for being able to appear in many movies, just Ma Sichun's Golden Horse actress is enough for Yang Zi to envy for several years.

The requirements of the entertainment industry for top actresses are nothing more than two points, the big heroine, who can resist dramas. The top actress must be a top actress in the TV series, and the male actors she cooperates with are generally inferior to her.

Being able to resist dramas means that the TV series she starred in must have a high degree of topicality and popularity. First of all, no matter what the word-of-mouth is, at least it is required to be watched by a large number of people, if no one watches, no matter how good the word-of-mouth is, it is useless, and the filmmaker has no way to make money.

Second, it is an actor who can lead fire and cooperate. Because it is a big heroine drama, then fans recognize that it is Yang Zi, whether Yang Zi cooperates with Gong Jun or Li Xian, he can act in a drama and make a cooperative actor popular, so that he is qualified to say that he is a top actress.

For example, after Yu Shuxin and Wang Hedi collaborated on "Canglan Jue", they collaborated with Zhang Binbin in "A Little Forest for Two", but the popularity of the latter is far less than that of the former.

The staff of the crew of "Canglan Jue" revealed that Wang Hedi and Yu Shuxin fell in love because of the play, and they were a real couple.

However, this CP binding is too successful, so the ratings of Zhang Binbin and Yu Shuxin's new drama can only be said to be unsatisfactory, and Yu Shuxin and Wang Hedi can only clarify their relationship with the outside world and say that they are very good friends.

Yu Shuxin cooperated with the drama party and Zhang Binbin to promote "A Little Forest for Two", Wang Hedi was jealous, and Yu Shuxin had to secretly poke and poke on Weibo to show affection to appease Wang Hedi.

Therefore, only if the two dramas "Xiangmi" and "Dear Love" can be successful, Yang Zi can sit firmly in the position of the top flower of the post-90s.

This principle also applies to Bai Xiaolu, and the popularity of Luo Yunxi in "The General is on Top" is just the beginning. Waiting for Bai Xiaolu to star in "Do You Know", he can become popular with another partner's actor, so that he can become the top ..... of the post-90s generation like Yang Zi.
