Although "Beauty of the United States" is not as famous as many Oscars, such as "Forrest Gump", "Schindler's List", "Titanic" and so on, it mainly expresses and tells about the spiritual crisis of the middle class under self-examination.

Through a typical family of three, the middle-class nuclear family, it alludes to a wider society.

Although the film failed to reach the height of exposing the darkness of capital and the destruction of human nature, it can also reflect some social phenomena that exist widely in countries like the United States and the West.

At least in Qing Zhiyuan's view, it is progressive.

And the core conveyed will be even better than some award-winning love or inspirational films.

So even if "The Matrix" did not win the best picture at the 72nd Academy Film Festival in 2000, Qing Zhiyuan has no regrets.

……

Of course, Qing Zhiyuan didn't just come here to have a sense of participation.

What's more important is to be able to attend the Oscars, and by the way, help him meet more people.

After the end, there was not much time, but Qing Zhiyuan was also familiar with a group of big-name stars and directors, as well as paper people and bosses of film and television production companies.

There are not many Asians in the audience, and among the Eastern faces, only Qing Zhiyuan and Liu Yuling are more prominent, and Qing Zhiyuan is really handsome and charming.

So it's easy to remember.

The success of "The Matrix" last year made the entire Western film and television industry realize the potential of Moon River.

Judging from the box office results, "The Matrix", which has achieved a global box office of 1 billion, has truly achieved commercial mythology, and even the story and connotation of the Matrix are highly respected.

"It's a pity,"

After the awards ceremony, Cameron and other big directors approached Qing Zhiyuan and shook hands with him cordially.

"Although there is some bit of a joke," Cameron said, "I actually like the movie 'The Matrix'." But the judges have their own considerations, and there is nothing they can do. ”

If you want to win the Olympic Award, in fact, it is best to make literary films, especially those classical literary films, such as Shakespeare's love history, which has a sense of epic, and the biographies are also very good, such as "A Beautiful Mind", "The King's Speech" and so on......

If a commercial film really wants to win an Olympic award, it will be somewhat difficult.

Unless it's a player like Cameron who has a strong influence in his own right, and at the same time can be at the top in all aspects, and there is a bit of luck.

"No, I think although I didn't win the best picture, I have already won 4 awards, which is a full return." Qing Zhiyuan said with a smile.

He's very open-minded.

"Thank you for your tireless publicity at the awards ceremony," Ching Chi Yuan said as he hugged Cameron.

It seems that in the best picture section, Cameron seems a little "stingy", and he didn't forget to step on the top management of "The Matrix" and Moon River, and by the way, he also hacked Nolan, saying that the reason why this movie failed to be nominated for the Olympic Award was mainly because he was not invited to be a director.

Although there are some real ingredients and factors in it, Cameron's ridicule, seemingly complaining and accusatory words can leave a deep impression on the audience.

This is a positive publicity.

It's remarkable.

Praise and praise.

Because "The Matrix" is not bad, it can even be said to be very competitive, far ahead of the global box office last year, and the topic is also very high.

With a ruler in the hearts of the audience, they will naturally distinguish what is a good movie and what is dung.

With Cameron in the area, more than 45 million viewers remembered the name of "The Matrix" in front of the TV, and also remembered Nolan's name.

Of course, Qing Zhiyuan is too late to be grateful.

"Ha, so you can see it?" Cameron smiled awkwardly, and then hugged Qing Zhiyuan the next second.

There is a sense of sympathy.

The main reason is that Qing Zhiyuan is too smart, and many things can be explained thoroughly, and Cameron likes smart people very much.

Especially smart bosses.

A smart and energetic boss like Qing Zhiyuan can basically be the most powerful help for producers and directors.

It can be seen from Hitotsubashi Bunka and Nolan's employment and authority.

"I look forward to more cooperation with you in the future." Qing Zhiyuan laughed.

"Me too."

Cameron's movies are always lacking in storytelling and narrative structure, but they are absolutely world-class in terms of expressiveness and viewing experience, and what he needs is a film and television company like Yuehe that can produce good scripts.

It was somewhat regrettable that I couldn't work with them on the "Matrix" trilogy.

Hearing Qing Zhiyuan's invitation, even if it was just a blank check, Cameron still seemed extremely happy.

……

As soon as he finished chatting with Cameron, Qing Zhiyuan pulled Nolan aside, put his arm around his shoulders and said, "You did a pretty good job this time, I believe you will definitely be able to make a movie that surpasses "The Matrix" in the future." ”

"Well, I'm sure I'll do my best and I won't let you down." Nolan promised, his cheeks flushed.

Hitobashi followed him silently and didn't speak, but sometimes he couldn't help but laugh a little.

On the way back, Hitotsubashi Fumie sat in the taxi and said with a smile:

"Qingsang, you're too skilled in this set, aren't you?"

"What? I don't understand what you're talking about at all. ”

"First chatted with Director Cameron, and then hugged, the two of them were so cheerful, you don't know what Nolan's expression was when he was sitting in a corner.

It's like a resentful little daughter-in-law, seeing her beloved husband hooking up with a woman outside.

The key is that the woman is still beautiful and looks better than herself. ”

"What the hell?" Qing Zhiyuan frowned, what kind of strange metaphors is this guy?

"Then, give Nolan another reassurance, saying that she is also very beautiful, I will not cheat, and the future film will depend on you to complete." Hitotsubashi Fumie was amazed, "If I were Nolan, I would have to be moved to death."

It is estimated that you will have a heart that is desperate for you. ”

"Aha......" Qing Zhiyuan was amused by her, leaning back and laughing.

At this point, this guy didn't need to continue to pretend to be stupid, but tore off his mask.

"You don't understand, this is the so-called art of controlling people, people, they have to give him constant stimulation and encouragement, so that they can give full play to their potential."

Qing Zhiyuan pursed his lips, "Moreover, what I say to Cameron or Nolan is absolutely heartfelt and sincere." There's not a single lie in it. ”

Hitohashi Fumie pursed his lips and smiled, handing him an expression of "I'll praise you and you gasped for yourself".

However, a trace of resentment flashed in Ichibashi Wene's eyes, and he silently looked out the window.

"I know, so that's where you're scary."

Like Qing Zhiyuan, who is full of infinite vitality every day, and is also very ruthless to himself, he can find the right person while making accurate judgments, and there are really few bosses who know how to delegate power.

Such people are often very rare and influential in this era.

Hitotsubashi doesn't even see words like "stop here", "time is limited", "almost enough" on him.

How far will a man with no end push the whole world to?

This is what really makes Hitotsubashi very curious, yearning and afraid.

……

The two of them returned to their hotel and went back to their rooms to sleep.

The next morning, just after breakfast, Seongjiwon asked Fumie Itotsubashi to go to his room for a meeting.

Hitotsubashi didn't think much about it, because if Qing Zhiyuan had any special thoughts about her, or any hints, there was no need for him to choose it during the day.

The atmosphere was good last night, and this trip was a business trip for two lonely men and widows, so Qing Zhiyuan could have called her to the room at night.

Hitotsubashi Fumika thinks that she doesn't have the slightest ability to resist, and as long as Seong Chi Won pries it a little, she can sacrifice herself for him like Nolan.

in every sense of the word.

It's a pity that this guy is a good man who rides a horse.

And it's the kind that is single-mindedly good to the extreme, and only Nao Tsuda can get his attention.

So last night, Ichibashi Wene couldn't fall asleep in bed after tossing and turning, and he couldn't get a call or knock on the door from Qing Zhiyuan after being on call for so long, and when he woke up in the morning, he was naturally already in a state of water.

At this time, the boss called a meeting, and that was a real meeting.

……

Sure enough, when he entered Qing Zhiyuan's room, this guy even had a computer and PPT ready.

"Come in, you don't have to close the door." Qing Zhiyuan said.

Hitotsubashi opened the door with some regret in his heart, and then sat next to Qing Zhiyuan.

"Let's speak Japanese."

Qing Zhiyuan said as he showed to Hitotsubashi Bune:

"To get straight to the point, I now have a plan for an Internet network film and television platform."

"Huh? Online film and television platform? Ichibashi Wenhua combed the long hair in front of his forehead with his hands, and leaned forward slightly, so that he could see the text on Qing Zhiyuan's PPT more accurately.

"Yes, the online film and television platform is a bit similar to the game platform developed by Pokeni."

Qing Zhiyuan gestured as he spoke, "I'm going to call it the Moon River Net." ”

"Aren't games already available for digitization and downloading on the web?

I envision applying the same operation to the film and television field, digitizing movies and TV series, and then putting them on the Moon River website for the audience to download.

You can even make a portion of a movie or TV series free.

The older it is, the cheaper it will be. ”

Netflix launched its online streaming service in 2007.

I'm afraid that the current network speed does not support online viewing, but Qing Zhiyuan does not plan to provide this service, the first thing he wants to provide is-

Online movie download service.

"Wow......"

Hearing Qing Zhiyuan's idea, Hitotsubashi Wene couldn't speak for a long time.

Her mind was still thinking about what seemed like a crazy idea.

Many of the film and television content on the market is provided to the audience in the form of video tapes or CDs, that is, in the form of physical carriers.

Even Netflix actually mails the CD to the corresponding user for free after receiving the payment from the audience.

At the same time, Netflix has also opened a VIP membership system, users can get the film through rental after applying for VIP, and even after watching this movie, they can go to the physical store to exchange other movies to continue watching.

Because it's all free.

Only VIP fees apply.

But just one simple act can make a company founded in '97 grow into a very remarkable chain of audiovisual products.

And Qing Zhiyuan's idea is undoubtedly a big step forward on this basis.

So after Hitotsubashi Bunka clarified his thoughts, he was quickly deeply shocked by his proposal.

"If we really want to build this online platform, we must first obtain film licenses from major film and television production companies." Hitotsubashi immediately entered the working mode, and his brain was spinning rapidly.

"And the more the better, otherwise this platform will not be enough to just put on the shelves of Yuehe's films."

People's consumption of movies and television is much faster than that of games.

A game can be played for more than 10 hours, and can be played for hundreds of hours, or even repeatedly.

But the length of the movie is generally between 2 and 3 hours.

What's more, movies are content-based consumption, while games are experiential consumption, and many content consumption is one-time, and once you know the ending, you will rarely have the urge to watch it again and again.

Of course, there are some very classic and popular film and television exceptions.

The length of the TV series may be longer, with a more extensive and continuous stickiness.

However, these circumstances all point to one fact -

If you want to be a film and television platform mentioned by Qing Zhiyuan, you must have a large amount of film and television content to fill, so it is particularly important to negotiate with large and small film and television companies and get authorization.

“bingo！”

Qing Zhiyuan snapped his fingers, his favorite thing was the one about Hitotsubashi Bunka.

She will be able to do the things she explains.

"I ...... I'll do my best. "Fumie Hitotsubashi covered her forehead, the idea is good, but the challenge is also great.

After all, Yuehe Company is in competition with these film and television production companies in a sense.

However, Hitotsubashi Wenhua feels that since Qingzhiyuan can let so many game manufacturers join in the game platform, there is no reason why this cannot be done on the film and television platform.

"As long as there is enough technical support."

"Don't worry, the technical support will definitely be in place, and I will urge the program department when I go back." Qing Zhiyuan said.

……

At the same time, on the neon side of the Pacific Ocean, a middle-aged man named Ken Akanishi sneezes loudly in his sleep.

"Ah, who's cursing me?"

……

After the two of them made a plan, the rest of the things were handed over to Ichibashi Wene to deal with, and Qing Zhiyuan left the computer and PPT and related materials to her.

After doing this, he finally showed a bright smile and went downstairs to eat with Ichibashi Bune.

In the hotel's cafeteria, each of them served some of their favorite food.

Qing Zhiyuan is steak and pasta, and he is preparing to work on his abs recently.

And Hitotsubashi Fumika was worried that his energy consumption would be very fast in the next few days, so he took a few more small cakes.

Chat while eating.

At the same time, the voices of several foreigners were heard at the next table.

"Watfack! Falling again?! ”

"Today, the Nasdaq is down 3%, falling for 3 consecutive days, and it has fallen almost 10 points."

"It's over, it's over......" The white man in the suit covered his face in frustration when he saw the news in the newspaper.

it!

Qing Zhiyuan's knife and fork collided in the middle of the plate, making a crisp sound.

He straightened up, and his face changed dramatically.

"What's wrong?" Hitotsubashi asked cautiously.

"No, it's fine." Qing Zhiyuan waved his hand.

But what I was thinking in my heart was-

The dot-com bubble crisis is coming.

No, in the exact sense of the word, it's already here.
