28 April, 2006.

Beijing, Xiong'an Racecourse.

Looking at Zhang Chaoyang, who was learning to ride a horse with great interest on the horse farm, Gao Fei glanced at Han Li with some confusion and said:

"You invited?"

Hearing this, Han Li suddenly glanced at him speechlessly and said:

"Boss, you really think of me!"

Han Li would like to have such a connection, but she really can't reach it.

After all, Mr. Zhang is not only a billionaire, but also one of the three giants of the domestic Internet industry.

There are even many media who call him the godfather of China's Internet industry.

Compared with Zhang Chaoyang, Huayi, who is now known as the leader of private film and television companies, is simply a younger brother.

It's just because of this that Goofy is more and more confused.

Just when Gao Fei was puzzled, Yu Qian, who was smoking a cigarette on the side, thought about it for a long time, and suddenly hesitated a little:

"Uh...... I've heard a little bit about it. ”

……

It is said that this year is definitely the most high-spirited year for Zhang Chaoyang.

The rise in stock prices and the smooth expansion of various industries in Sohu have made Zhang Chaoyang more and more confident.

At the beginning of the year, he spent 1.8 billion yuan to buy Sohu Building in Wudaokou, Beijing.

For the first time, businessmen in traditional industries in China have seen how profitable the Internet is.

Not only that, just last month, Sohu also set up a Sohu Entertainment Culture Media Co., Ltd., and announced Sohu's big entertainment strategy in a high-profile manner.

Zhang Chaoyang believes that the combination of the Internet and the film and television industry has a huge imagination. Therefore, he did not hesitate to take charge in person and served as the general manager of this wholly-owned subsidiary.

And after listening to Yu Qian's words, Gao Fei couldn't help but think thoughtfully.

Don't...... This elder came to recruit him?

Thinking of this, Gao Fei was a little difficult.

After all, no matter how loud Sohu's entertainment strategy is, it is just a newcomer in the film and television industry after all.

Therefore, no matter how Gao Fei looks at it, he feels that the ship of Sohu is unreliable.

The risk is too great, not to mention, maybe when the ship will capsize.

So just as Goofy was thinking about how to be tactful.

Zhang Chaoyang, who was tired and sweating profusely on the horse training ground, finally walked towards him with someone after seeing Gao Fei appear.

It's just that as soon as Zhang Chaoyang opened his mouth, Gao Fei was a little caught off guard.

"Search?"

Gao Fei didn't expect that after guessing for a long time, it turned out to be in vain.

But soon he couldn't care about that.

I saw Gao Fei look at Zhang Chaoyang with a puzzled look and asked:

"Mr. Zhang, I don't really understand what you mean. Are you looking to buy the exclusive online rights to Search? ”

Seeing this, Zhang Chaoyang immediately shook his head with a smile.

Then Fang Cai looked at Gao Fei and said with sharp eyes:

"It's not just the Internet copyright, I hope that Mr. Gao's movie can be released on Sohu Video."

Hearing this, Goofy didn't feel much at first.

But soon he understood the meaning of Zhang Chaoyang's words, so he couldn't help frowning and became silent.

Seeing this, Zhang Chaoyang didn't urge, just smiled and patted Gao Fei's shoulder and said:

"Mr. Gao, you can think about it."

"I'm going horseback riding, we'll talk later!"

With that, he went to the training ground again.

……

At the same time, in the racecourse conference room.

Looking at the men, women, and children frowning in front of him, Gao Fei frowned and said:

"That's probably the case, and I'm a little unsure right now."

"I don't know what you guys think, let's talk about it!"

Seeing Gao Fei say this, Han Li on the side took the lead in asking:

"Boss, do you mean that Sohu doesn't go to theaters and directly put our movies on the Internet?"

"That's pretty much it!"

After all, they were all released on the Internet, so even if he is released in offline theaters, it is estimated that few people are willing to buy tickets.

Seeing Gao Fei say this, Yu Qian immediately couldn't help but shake his head and sighed:

"This is an offending thing!"

Although Yu Qian is not in the film and television industry, after listening to Gao Fei's narration, he can also keenly perceive that Sohu is robbing the cake of the theater.

And as soon as he said this, Gao Fei couldn't help but sigh lightly and said:

"Well, who's to say it's not!"

If it weren't for that, Goofy wouldn't be so embarrassed.

After all, if Sohu hits the street in the entertainment field, they can pat their butts and continue to turn back to engage in his Internet.

But when the time comes, Goofy will have nowhere to escape.

Unless his movies don't want to be released in theaters in the future, who dares to offend theaters?

Hearing this, Liu Xiaoli and Liu Yifei on the opposite side almost understood the doorway, so they couldn't help but worry.

As a result, the huge conference room suddenly fell into a dead silence.

It's just that just when everyone was worried, Ma Wei on the side suddenly thought of something, so he couldn't help laughing and said:

"I said, guys, are we overthinking the problem?"

Lao Ma can be regarded as an old cannon in the entertainment industry.

It can be said that there is one person in the conference room at the moment, and none of them have his seniority in the entertainment industry.

So after going through the whole thing in his mind just now, Ma Weidu faintly found that something was wrong.

Looking at the puzzled eyes of everyone, I saw the old horse smile and said:

"Think about it, in the eyes of the theater chain, can Lao Mouzi's blockbuster be the same as Wang Xiaoshuai and Lou Ye's movies?"

"In the past, the production of movies was not high, so there was nothing to show in the cinema."

"Now half of the movies produced in China in a year can't even be ranked in theaters, so they can only be sold to TV stations."

"Therefore, the theater chain doesn't treat literary films very well now."

In fact, Ma Weidu said this is already polite.

Since the implementation of the cinema reform, cinemas everywhere have not only not been waiting to see literary films, but they have not looked down on them at all.

If it weren't for some unspeakable reasons, it is estimated that many theater managers who are bent on watching for money would be eager to put blockbusters in the theater all year round.

"Ginger is still old and spicy!"

After listening to Ma Weidu's analysis, Gao Fei immediately couldn't help but sigh with admiration.

If it weren't for Lao Ma's reminder, he really wouldn't have been able to get out of the horns just now.

Now that I think about it, literary films are not a piece of chewing gum that can't be shaken off for theaters.

If a literary film is put down, the box office share is not enough to pay for the maintenance of the theater.

Hearing this, Han Li couldn't help but agree:

"Teacher Ma is right!"

"Literary films can't bring them much benefit, and they also delay making money. Naturally, the theater doesn't want to schedule films. ”

"In fact, now that I think about it, there are many literary and artistic films that no one watches them after they are released, and most of the people who want to watch them are looking for resources on the Internet."

"Isn't this equivalent to an online screening in disguise!"

Speaking of this, Han Li's train of thought couldn't help but become more and more smooth.

I saw her eyes shine and said:

"Besides, our current situation is special, and we can't wait that long."

"Now that the film is temporarily in line, even if the theater chain wants to show it, it is estimated that there will not be many films."

When the discussion came to this, the hearts of everyone in the conference room suddenly brightened.

And after some brainstorming, in order to prevent offending the theater, Gao Fei and others also came up with a bad idea.

"That's the case, Han Dong...... Yes, it's not easy for theaters, so I won't trouble them...... Okay, okay, I understand...... Hi! Isn't that afraid you'll worry about it......"

After some laughing and talking, Goofy finally hung up.

Looking at Han Li's expectant eyes on the side, Gao Fei immediately smiled and said:

"Han Dong agreed!"

"Under the condition that China Film does not interfere, in just a few days, it is estimated that it will be difficult for the theater chain to squeeze out the films."

"Now it's up to you to toss!"

Hearing this, Han Li immediately said with confidence:

"Don't worry, I'll definitely keep the proportion of the film schedule down!"

As soon as these words came out, several people in the conference room couldn't help but laugh dumbly.

After all, the producer did not ask for film scheduling, but took the initiative to press the film scheduling, and it is estimated that they are the only case in the country.

……

After making a decision, when he met Zhang Chaoyang again, Gao Fei's heart was much more stable.

Maybe there is no concern, but at this moment, Gao Fei has the heart to look at the godfather of the Internet.

To be honest, Gao Fei has seen a lot of bosses, but it is the first time he has seen him as casual as Zhang Chaoyang.

No wonder Ma Wei said that at present, in the domestic Internet industry, only Zhang Chaoyang can do anything to enter the entertainment industry.

Of course, no matter what he thought in his heart, on the surface, Goofy still gave this Sohu boss enough face.

It was only before signing the contract that Goofy made a small request.

That is, I hope that Souhu will announce this news to the public again tomorrow.

Hearing this, Zhang Chaoyang immediately agreed without hesitation.

Before leaving, he also made a membership card at the racecourse.

even invited him to go to work in Sohu, which suddenly made Gao Fei not know what to say.

However, when Zhang Chaoyang and his party left, looking at the back of the convoy, Gao Fei couldn't help but sigh with heartfelt emotion:

"This group of ...... who are engaged in the Internet It's really rich! ”

Speaking of which, when we talked about the price of copyright.

Gao Fei only tentatively quoted a price of 10 million, but he didn't expect Zhang Chaoyang to agree without hesitation.

This caught Goofy off guard.

If it is screened in theaters, the box office of "Search" will be at least 30 million for him to have so much share.

But with the current situation in China, if a literary film wants to have a box office of 30 million, it is simply a fool's dream.

Even if Gao Fei and Liu Yifei are popular stars at the moment, it is impossible to support such a box office.

After all, last year's "Thousands of Miles to Ride Alone" directed by Lao Mouzi himself was only 31 million at the box office.

It's just that after listening to Gao Fei's words, Han Li on the side thought about it, but couldn't help but speak:

"Boss, Sohu probably won't do a loss-making business."

"After all, you and Miss Liu are hot spots of public opinion on the Internet at the moment."

"Now that I have "Search" in hand, it is estimated that I can take the opportunity to attract a lot of traffic with the means of searching."

And seeing her say this, Gao Fei was not a pity, but sighed abruptly and said:

"If that's the case, I can't ask for it!"

The reason why he filmed "Search" was not to make money from the beginning.

If it weren't for that, Goofy wouldn't have agreed to put "Search" on the Internet for the first time.

After all, if you talk about the convenience of communication, offline theaters can't be compared with online after all.
