Huayu started from the fairy sword

Chapter 446 A grand ideal, a date with Sissy!
In other words, whenever people mention domestic film companies, there must be five major private enterprises: Wanda, Huayi, Bona, Guangguang and LeTV.

Because in the entire film industry, except for the state-owned China Film Group, these five private film and television companies have a position that cannot be ignored in terms of the output and reputation of their works, as well as the company's individual influence.

Even so, it is undeniable that the current survival status of the five major film and television companies has begun to change to varying degrees.

In contrast, recently, the film industry has also seen the emergence of many cutting-edge companies, such as Century Film and Television, Jiaying Films, Hehe Films, and so on.

Although these companies are far inferior to the Big Five in terms of output and influence, their strength should not be underestimated, and Cao Jun's Century Film and Television is one of the best.

Even so far, "People on the Journey: Lost in Thailand" produced by Century Film and Television Company has just finished filming and has not yet been officially released in theaters, but the lineup in front of and behind the scenes of this film, as well as the attention it has received, are completely different. It is inferior to any domestic blockbuster.

When a director like Cao Jun starts a company, the first thing he doesn’t have to worry about is content resources, because the director himself is the producer.

But for a truly cutting-edge company, Century Film and Television Company is still too short of talents, because Century Film and Television Company has not signed any other film directors, not even TV directors, except for Cao Jun.

Recruiting good director talents is the countermeasure Cao Jun's Century Film and Television, a new company, came up with to solve the production problem.

In fact, Cao Jun had already had this idea, but it was only because of Wu Jin's sudden visit that he acted more urgently.

Century Film and Television Company had a very hard time finding a new director. In order to be able to recruit talents, Cao Jun almost watched all the works of the Film Academy in recent years.

Later, Cao Jun simply refocused his attention on the entertainment industry, but after thinking about it for a long time, apart from Wu Jin, there were not many actors who transformed into directors and could truly succeed.

Like Deng Chao, the box office of spoof movies may be very high, but the problem is that they are too bad.

As for Guo Jingming's "Little Times", Cao Jun didn't dare to provoke them, for fear of being drowned by the audience's spittle.

After walking around for a while, Cao Jun thought of Xu Zheng, and it was precisely in response to the sentence "I don't know the true face of Lushan Mountain, but because I live in this mountain."

However, there is one thing to say, Cao Jun has long wanted Xu Zheng to be a film director. During the filming of "People on the Journey: Lost in Thailand", he once asked Xu Zheng to help direct, and he also wanted him to practice his skills.

In Cao Jun's opinion, although two films of the "囧 series" have been filmed so far, there are still great business opportunities and potentials to be tapped. It would be a pity if the filming does not continue.

Obviously, Cao Jun himself does not plan to continue making the "囧 series" movies. After filming "People on the Journey: Lost in Thailand", he wants to find someone to help him continue filming.

Because Cao Jun doesn't want to be a director all the time, it will take up a lot of his time and energy, he needs to let himself have a little leisure time, and he doesn't want to be so busy.

Obviously, Cao Jun still prefers acting and singing to being a film director.

As for Xu Zheng, in Cao Jun's mind, the most suitable director candidate for the "囧" series.

On a sunny noon.

Cao Jun asked Xu Zheng to have dinner in a French restaurant. While pouring red wine, he asked with great interest, "Old Xu, do you plan to become a film director?"

Xu Zheng sipped his red wine: "No, why did you ask that suddenly?"

Cao Jun took it for granted: "Isn't that obvious? You have worked as a TV director on the crew of "Li Wei as an Official" before, and I think you are fully capable of being a film director."

Xu Zheng asked back: "Filming a TV series is not the same as filming a movie, why do you have so much confidence in me?"

Cao Jun said disapprovingly: "What's the difference between filming a TV series and filming a movie? For example, I'm an actor who turned into a film director. I haven't even made a TV series. If you watch me now, I will start my own movie." company."

Xu Zheng couldn't laugh or cry and said: "Xiao Cao, I didn't say that, you are really a scorpion shit, the only one! You can make it to where you are today, I really admire you!"

After thinking for a while, Cao Jun said, "Old Xu, actually I have a bold idea, and I've always wanted to talk to you."

Xu Zheng asked with interest: "What kind of bold idea makes it so mysterious?"

Cao Jun said bluntly: "I want to build a video website, such as Youku and Tudou,"

Xu Zheng thought for a while and said, "Can a website make money? Unless someone is willing to pay to open a membership! However, it is so convenient for everyone to watch pirated versions online, like fast broadcast, everything is free..."

In fact, Xu Zheng's worries are not unreasonable, because the current Internet is really an era of rampant piracy, and everything is free.

But Cao Jun is also very clear that in the near future, there will be actions to "clean the Internet", and websites like Kuaibo will surely die.

And the spring of video sites will surely come after cracking down on piracy.

Of course, Cao Jun just has some ideas, not very mature, and he hasn't really started to act, and is still brewing.

However, creating a video website is the biggest ideal and goal of Cao Jun at this stage. He is looking forward to watching movies or TV series made by his company on his video website.

After talking with Xu Zheng this time, Cao Jun's idea became much more mature.

Cao Jun thought it would be interesting to set up his own video website, like the later Tencent Video and iQiyi Video.

Moreover, people nowadays don't pay much attention to Internet broadcasting copyrights. Film and television companies sell them casually, and the copyright prices are also very low. Cao Jun also wants to take this opportunity to buy some online broadcasting copyrights of movies and TV series.

In addition, Cao Jun now has the film and television adaptation copyrights of many novels on hand, such as "Ghost Blowing the Lantern", "Lang Yan Bang", etc., which will be the most unique existence among the entire Internet video sites in the future.

Although Cao Jun is worth more than 30 billion yuan, he can't rely on him alone to start a video website. The risk is a bit too high, especially after the scale is expanded, it will definitely burn money.

But in the early stage, Cao Jun is still capable, and he will start slowly.

Just as Cao Jun and Xu Zheng were chatting happily, the cell phone rang suddenly.

Cao Jun picked up his mobile phone and saw that it was Qianqian calling.

Liu Qianqian on the other end of the phone asked softly, "Brother, I'm back in the capital, where are you?"

Cao Jun smiled and asked, "I'm also in the capital, what's the matter? Are you looking for me for dinner?"

Liu Qianqian smiled and said, "Yes, do you have time?"

Cao Jun said bluntly: "Others may not have time, but I definitely have time to accompany you to dinner!"

Hearing Cao Jun's words, Liu Qianqian suddenly smiled.

Xu Zheng couldn't bear to watch it any longer, and couldn't help but say: "Who are you talking on the phone so disgustingly? I can't stand you!"

After talking on the phone with Liu Qianqian, Cao Jun withdrew his thoughts and said, "Old Xu, I have an appointment tonight, so I won't have dinner with you."
