Huayu Zhihao

Chapter 808
Time entered 2010, when the major media were busy summarizing 2009, Xinrongshuxia went online again.

The reason why it is called Xinrongshuxia is because this former overlord of online literature has been acquired by Qidian after several twists and turns.

The Rongshuxia website was established in 1997 and is one of the earliest literature websites in China.

Speaking of the Rongshuxia website, readers who have been in contact with online literature should know it.

This website has famous authors such as Han Han, Annie Baby, Ning Caishen, Li Xunhuan, Xing Yusen, Cai Jun, Jinhe, Murong Xuecun, Yan Leisheng, Cang Yue, Guo Xiaosi, etc.

Under the Rongshu is closely related to the growth of countless writers and the memories of Internet literature lovers, and has become an evergreen "banyan tree" in the hearts of Chinese mainstream literary writing circles and ordinary users.

However, in recent years, with the rise of new literary websites such as Qidian Chinese.com, under the face of fierce competition, the operating results of Rongshuxia have been mediocre, and even have gone through several rounds.

In 2002, founder William Zhu sold Rongshuxia to Bertelsmann for US$1000 million.

In 2006, Bertelsmann transferred Under the Banyan Tree to Joy Media for US$500 million.

In October 2009, Qidian officially acquired Rongshuxia for US$10 million.

In fact, Rongshuxia, which Qidian just took over, has been suspended for a while, and its popularity is low. The daily PV is less than [-], and the key authors have been lost.

The main reason is that Rongshuxia could no longer support it, and even the manuscript fees and wages were in arrears. The literary overlord of the year was only an empty shell, so Joy Media agreed to sell it to Qidian.

The reason why Joy Media is reluctant to give up is that Qidian, as the current dominant literary overlord, still spends huge sums of money to acquire such an empty shell, in order to better film and television.

Under the newly launched Rongshu, there are five sections: reading, life, social forums, long stories, and short stories. Next, there will be a music channel, as well as an attempt at a film and television literature channel from creativity to stories and scripts.

Under the new Rongshu will launch a series of promotional activities immediately: establish a long-term strategic cooperative relationship with Huaying Group and Haotian Films, and cooperate with CCTV for a 30-episode large-scale documentary "My Father and Mother".

Cooperate with Haotian Records on the "Under the Banyan Tree·Urban Folk Songs on the Road" tour, cooperate with Comedy Factory, Tudou.com and so on.

……

Qidian Holdings Rongshuxia has great ambitions. In addition to increasing its monopoly on original literature resources on the Internet, it also wants to drag the website to film and television entertainment.

There are many high-quality online literature copyrights under Rongshu, that is, IP, which is the biggest reason why Chen Hao agreed to this acquisition.

In addition, many well-known writers also have cooperation agreements with Rongshuxia. Before Rongshuxia failed, many cooperations were shelved, but now Qidian has taken over.

Cooperation with these well-known writers can be restarted, or directly transferred to Qidian.

At the same time, Qidian acquired the news that under Rongshu, Chen Tianqiao was ill!

Qidian's acquisition of Rongshuxia did not receive competition from Shengda Literature, which is very abnormal.

It was only later that I found out that Chen Tianqiao was ill. As for what the illness was, I didn't know exactly what it was, but it should be a mental illness. There were many rumors that it was anxiety, neurosis, depression, and even a strong "cancer fear".

Chen Tianqiao's younger brother, who suffered from the same disease, once described it like this:

"When it happened suddenly, there would be a very real near-death experience. My brother's condition was worse than his at that time, and the whole outside world thought they had a heart attack."

It is precisely because of this reason that Chen Tianqiao is now suffering from illness, so he made a decision to go to a new environment, Singapore.

Chen Tianqiao also donated billions of dollars to American scientific research institutions to study the human brain, which is also related to his disease.

Now Chen Tianqiao can't protect himself, and he has to go to Singapore, so he doesn't have much energy to take care of Shengda Literature, so Qidian's acquisition will be smoother.

……

After entering January 2010, as the leading actors cooperated more and more tacitly, the filming progress of "Inception" was significantly accelerated, and Chen Hao also completed the filming of two important scenes.

Leonardo fled because he failed to steal the secrets of the tycoon Saito and was betrayed by his assistant. However, before he fled, Saito found him and planned to hire him to complete a secret mission.

At the same time, Saito promised Leonardo that as long as he can complete this mission, he will help him get rid of his status as a fugitive, so that he can go home to visit his two children in a fair manner.

For the sake of his two children, Leonardo could only agree, so he began to recruit a team, and then the outposts, pretenders, pharmacists, dream builders, etc. in the Inception Team appeared one after another.

Correspondingly, the world blueprint of "Inception" will also be displayed in front of everyone.

After the team was formed, they began to carry out the task. After entering the dream of the target, they came to the first layer of dreamland. The crew also ushered in a classic scene in the movie. A train rampaged without warning and rushed into the bustling downtown area.

Generally speaking, when directors want to put trains on city streets, they would choose to use digital special effects, but this time the train in "Inception" is indeed a real prop!

The inside of this big guy is driven by trucks and several trailers, and the outside is covered with a fiberglass train shell to make it look real. Finally, the computer is used to replace the car tires with train wheels. Everything looks impeccable and very realistic.

Likewise, there is the classic second-floor dream, the weightless hotel!
Interferenced by the upper dream, the gravity suddenly changed several times in the second dream.

After the film was released, the audience could see the actors flying in the corridors of the hotel because the scenery of the entire corridor was built on a giant rotatable "Vientiane Ring" device.

As the hallway begins to spin and tilt, the actors try to keep their balance as best they can, and the fixed camera makes it look like a sudden change in gravity.

In order to ensure the safety of the actors in the rotating set, many props including the walls are made of soft materials.

Of course, the dedication of the actors is also worthy of recognition. Leonardo, Gordon Levitt and Tom Hardy all participated in the battle in person, and they have specially participated in several days of training before, just to make the shooting more realistic.

The result was ideal, none of the three were injured, and the shots were surprisingly good.

……

At the same time, Cameron's masterpiece "Avatar" officially landed in mainland theaters on January 2010, 1.

Originally, "Avatar" was going to be released on January 1, but because Huaying was questioned by many companies as a monopoly, it caused quite a disturbance, so it was postponed for 2 days.

This so-called 5 million blockbuster "Avatar" is indeed menacing. It broke the box office record of the mainland film history with a box office of 400 million yuan as soon as it was released!
