Chapter 1023 Ahri makes a move
"Shredded coconut, it's finished!"

"Great, let's finish it!"

"Long live!"

……

"Okay, hurry up and clean up, we won't be drunk tonight." Chen Hao shouted.

At the wrap-up banquet in the evening, the whole crew ate and drank a lot. Most of them drank a lot. After 2 months of intense filming, they suddenly relaxed and everyone had a good time.

Only Chang Hongsong's special effects team drank less. After all, "Interstellar" still needs a lot of post-production special effects, and their real work can be said to have just begun.

As the director, Chen Hao was naturally the target of everyone's siege. He passed out after drinking less than half of it, and was helped back to the room by Sister Shi.

After Sister Shi helped Chen Hao to the bed, she was about to leave to get a towel when Chen Hao stretched her leg and fell into her arms.

Chen Hao turned over and pinned down the beauty.

"Are you pretending to be drunk?" Seeing this, Sister Shi couldn't help but ask.

"Every scene is drunk, I'm still drunk to death." Chen Hao smiled, then bowed his head and kissed the red lips.

Sister Shi wanted to resist, but gradually her movements became more and more subtle, and finally she even took the initiative to respond and became entangled.

The next day, after Chen Hao returned to the imperial capital, he was not immediately busy with the first cut of "Interstellar", but first dealt with the company affairs accumulated over the past two months.

Among them, Chen Hao saw that Haotian Music was in contact with Kuwo Music, and wanted to acquire this online digital music platform established in 2005.

The goal is naturally its huge copyright music library and lossless music library. There is only one future core of online digital music, and that is copyright.

After nearly 8 years of development, Kuwo Music has nearly one million pieces of music in its library.

Of course, many of these are uploaded by netizens. The sound quality and song quality may not be very good, and quite a few of them have copyright disputes.

This phenomenon has been very common since the emergence of online digital music in the Mainland. Because there is no relevant legal restriction at this time, all major online music platforms are flooded with a large number of netizens uploading audio.

And this is also one of the profit points of many online digital music platforms. The platform will choose good singing and high-quality music sources from the countless uploaded music, store and recommend them, and then turn them into paid downloads to make profits.

However, there are only a small number of people who are really willing to pay for downloading, so this income is not enough to maintain the development of the platform. Many platforms have to continue to raise funds, or are already on the verge of bankruptcy.

For example, Xiami Music mentioned at the beginning of the file!

Founded in 2008, Xiami Music was called "Music Library" in the early days, and it can be said to have achieved the ultimate in music genre classification.

The website has introductions of as many as three or four hundred music sub-genres. Paying attention to details, paying attention to niche music, and insisting on unique and personalized recommendations have become Xiami's unique advantages.

It is precisely because of this detail that the reputation of Xiami Music has been built.

Endorsed by word-of-mouth from users, in 2010, Xiami Music began to invest heavily in music recommendation. After several years of hard work, Xiami has achieved the ultimate in the field of music recommendation. This achievement is still crushing for other platforms. pressed.

But who would have thought that copyright has become Xiami's fatal weakness!
In September 2010, dozens of musicians, including Zhou Yunpeng and Li Zhi, sued Xiami for music infringement. In desperation, Xiami had no choice but to remove the works of these musicians and began to make up lessons on copyright.

But with Xiami's meager income at the time, it was impossible to pay the high copyright fee.

Speaking of which, Kugou of Haotian Music was also sued at that time, as were other online music platforms such as Tiantiandongting and Qianqianjingting.

Then Kugou and other online music platforms had to remove many music sources with copyright disputes.

As a result, the industry has also seen clearly that copyright is the future of online music platforms!
Fortunately, Haotian Music has its own singers and company, and releases several albums every year. Therefore, although the music library is growing slowly, there are no copyright disputes.

And now, in addition to the singers under Haotian Music, Kugou also owns the music copyrights of "The Voice of China" and "I Am a Singer".

With the popular ratings of the two programs, Kugou Music is in full swing, and the number of registered users and paid downloads ranks among the best among all online music platforms!
However, Kugou Music also has its weakness, which is also a copyright issue.

Now Kugou, after years of development, the number of songs in the music library is probably less than 50, which is much less than the 80 of Xiami Music, so Haotian Music wants to acquire Kuwo Music.

Back to Xiami Music, in January 2013, Ahri announced the official acquisition of Xiami Music, Xiami Music has become the vanguard of Ahri’s entertainment strategy!

BAT has already shown its status as an Internet giant, but now Qiandu is the leader, and Ari and Tongxun still have to rank behind.

Especially now at the beginning of 2013, we will see an anxious Ahri. The secondary listing, scene, traffic, mobile, and various strategic problems have become Ahli's knots.

At this time, new e-commerce platforms such as Meilishuo, Mogujie, Jumei, and Vipshop have gained widespread public attention.

Vipshop was listed on the New York Stock Exchange and achieved a 300%+ increase in stock price, causing many people to discuss whether the scene-based vertical e-commerce platform or the general-purpose e-commerce platform, who will have a better future?
At the same time, the 4G wave began to sweep across China. Xiaomi was a startup, but sold more than 1000 million mobile phones. Mobile phones equipped with intelligent systems began to become standard equipment for Chinese people.

WeChat, with more than 3 million users, has occupied the commanding heights of mobile social networking.

The wave of vertical e-commerce and mobile has made Ahli beset by enemies.

At this time, Ali had just been delisted from the Hong Kong Stock Exchange less than half a year ago, and VIE (variable interest entity) made the US stock market the only place for Ma Yun to go public for a second time.

Under tremendous pressure, Ma Yun made a clear statement on the intranet: "We should not consider going public if we have not made achievements in wireless."

This year, Ali will acquire Xiami Music, Weibo, AutoNavi and UC in one go, launch its flagship social product "Laiwang", and make every effort to transform the mobile terminal.

As one of the most popular music software among young people at this time, Xiami Music undertakes two major strategic tasks for Ahri.

First of all, Ali hopes to build a vertical business scene centered on music and create a "music version of Taobao".

Music is a business story that American investors can easily understand. AirPods and APPLE MUSIC are classic cases in the business world. Music products were once an important category of Amazon in the early days, second only to books.

For Ahri, who wants to list on the New York Stock Exchange, "China's leading music streaming company" is indeed an imaginative plus item.

Secondly, since the iPod, music has been the ace application of the mobile terminal at that time.

With an important traffic entry in hand, Ahri can take the corresponding initiative in the upcoming mobile war.

Especially in 2013, when scene retail was popular, the traffic portal was considered to be the lifeblood of the retail platform. Ari was anxious because of this, and proposed the "All in Wireless" strategy.

The entertainment industry, whether it is music, games, video sites, online articles, or film and television, is a very good traffic portal, which is also one of the internal reasons why Ahri built the entertainment industry.

Now, Ahri's first choice is music, and Xiami Music has become Ahri's first shot in the entertainment industry!
"Mr. Huo, how is Haotian Music's acquisition of Kuwo Music going?" Chen Hao asked.

"We are in contact, but we have a competitor, Ocean Interactive!" Huo Shaowen replied.

"Ocean interaction?" Chen Hao paused when he heard the words, "Isn't it Ocean Music?"

"Ocean Music?" Huo Shaowen was taken aback when he heard the words, "No, I'm sure the other party is called Ocean Interactive (Didu) Technology Co., Ltd. Its main business includes online music platform, record company publishing business, copyright agency business, etc.

They want to acquire Kuwo Music and improve their online music platform. "

Chen Hao nodded when he heard the words. Now it is called Ocean Interactive. If Kuwo Music is acquired, then it should be called Ocean Music. After all, the business is all related to music.

"Ari has acquired Xiami Music, Qiandu has acquired Qianqian Jingting, and QQ Music of Pain, these are our main competitors.

Online digital music is the future of Huaxia Music, and copyright is the core competitiveness. Therefore, online music platforms such as Kuwo Music and Tiantiandongting will definitely become the targets of BAT.

If Haotian Music wants not to be eliminated, it can only participate in this copyright acquisition battle, but we don't have so much money and time to spend with BAT, so we need to be fast.

Before the eyes of BAT come over, take down Kuwo as soon as possible. "Chen Hao said.

"I understand." Huo Shaowen said, "I will try my best to solve it quickly."

"Okay, then I'll wait for your good news." Chen Hao nodded.

After the explanation, Chen Hao stopped thinking about it and continued to deal with the company's affairs.

It was not until 4 o'clock in the afternoon that Chen Hao left Haotian Building and went to Haotian Cinema.

Today is the premiere of the chick movie "Break Up Contract" starring Da Meitang, so Chen Hao naturally had to join in.

"Director Chen, hello, I have long admired your name!"

Chen Hao glanced at the man who bowed ninety degrees in front of him. He was a South Korean and the director of "Break Up Contract". His name was Wu Jihuan.

This time "Break Up Contract" asked him to direct because "Break Up Contract" is actually a Sino-South co-production film, and the South Korean part here is MSE.

This is the collaboration facilitated by Son Yejin. MSE wants to shoot film and television dramas by itself, but has no experience in this field before, so Son Yejin wants to cooperate with Haotian from the mainland.

This Wu Jihuan was recommended because he had worked with Son Yejin on "The Law of Picking Up a Talk".

Considering that South Korean filmmakers are somewhat unique in making chick movies, Chen Hao agreed.

"Hello!" Chen Hao smiled.

Wu Jihuan raised his head and said, "Thank you for your presence and support. I am so excited that you can come."

Chen Hao smiled when he heard this, and then Dameitang walked over.

"Day... Director Chen, you're here!" Da Meitang said with a happy smile.

"Your movie premiere, of course I have to come to support." Chen Hao smiled.

"That's about the same." Da Mei Tang laughed, "I know you attended the premiere of "The Imperial Capital Meets Seattle" before, hehe!"

"They are all the company's movies, so I will naturally support them." Chen Hao laughed.

"Director Chen!"

"Chen Dong!"

The male protagonist of the film, Peng Yuyan, the second female Wu Peici, and the second male Jiang Jinfu also came to say hello.

After Chen Hao nodded with them, he went directly to find a seat and sat down.

"Ritian, I think this movie may not be as good as that guy Xiaohu's." Da Meitang said after finishing her work and sitting next to Chen Hao.

Chen Hao raised his brows when he heard this, "Chicken movies are like this, if they are shot well, the box office won't be too high. "33 Days of Broken Relationship" can only be said to be an example."

The box office of "Emperor Capital Meets Seattle" has surpassed that of "3 Days of Broken Relationship" in the 33 weeks since it was released, and is heading towards 4 million.

Although "Broken Contract" has just been released, it may not be the opponent when it meets "Emperor Capital Meets Seattle" in the 4th week, because its box office in the first three weeks is too high, especially for a romantic movie.

What's more, it was in the unpopular March and April, so the film schedule of "Emperor Capital Meets Seattle" has not dropped. Even though it has been released to the 3th week, the film schedule is higher than that of "Broken Contract".

"Then what should I do?" Da Meitang pursed her red lips and asked.

"Okay, this one isn't as high as hers, so let's go to the next one." Chen Hao said with a smile, "After all, you will soon have a super big production with an investment of 2.7 million."

Dameitang laughed after hearing this, "That's right, when you mention this, Xiaohu is so jealous, hehe!"

Soon, the premiere ceremony began, and after interacting with the audience and reporters for a while, the film was officially screened.

"Break-up Contract" also made the audience laugh non-stop at the beginning, thinking that the hero and heroine were playing a game of hide-and-seek: I love you, but I just don't want you to know!

But the more tragic it gets later on, the story also falls into a cliché, following the line of pure love Korean dramas, the hero and heroine are childhood sweethearts, but the heroine finds out that she is terminally ill before the hero proposes, so she resolutely breaks up with her boyfriend!
But set a 5-year "breakup contract".

Five years later, after various misunderstandings, the two came together again, and the hero proposed again. Before the proposal, the heroine found out that her cancer had recurred!So they broke up again, and in the end the heroine died!
The plot is quite bloody and clichéd.

However, this film also has all the external characteristics of South Korean film and television dramas: beautiful pictures, meticulous plots, and exquisite lines.

The whole movie creates a strong tear-jerking effect. Of course, the setting of the tragic plot plays a big role, but this is not the most important thing. The feeling of real touch.

This kind of feeling can arouse a kind of resonance. The suppressed crying in the theater proves that the film touches the most vulnerable part of most people's hearts, and it is also the part that can resonate.

However, these are not what Chen Hao is most concerned about. What makes Chen Hao most concerned is the performance of Damei Tang.

Dameitang has made a considerable improvement in performance this time, and this improvement is reflected in the appropriate interpretation of the characters, which is why the audience can burst into tears in an old-fashioned plot.

The loneliness at the beginning, the shyness when dating, the persistence when breaking up, the poisonous tongue when facing marriage challenges, the cheapness when using girlfriends as a shield, and the willingness to accept fate on the hospital bed at the end.

Countless aspects complete the characters, become friends of the audience, and also win the emotional support of the audience for the final tear gas.

Of course, the continuous maturity of acting skills has made Dameitang more natural and confident in the performance process, in addition to mixing a Beijing flavor into a strong Korean-style film.

More often, she can already serve as the core character of the film, promoting the progress and ups and downs of the entire storyline.

At this time, Dameitang will never become a shame in the central opera again!
