The Wind of China Entertainment 2005

Chapter 372 Share Swap (Two in One)

June is by no means just monotonous and sultry, the weather in June, the face of a child, can change at any time.

It rained last night, and there was still some water on the ground. In the early morning, the cool air filled every corner of the villa.

The sun shines softly and leisurely through the branches, a breeze blows by, and the sound of Liu Shishi and her two children playing and chasing each other clearly floats in my ears.

Villa, study room.

Through the floor-to-ceiling windows, Lu Yuan looked towards the yard.

The little nephew was wearing a short shirt and shorts, with small arms and legs. He squatted down and cried while running and squatting on his butt.

Directly opposite, Liu Shishi was squatting beside him, helpless and unable to coax him at all.

She turned around and asked him for help frequently.

Lu Yuan picked up the script and waved it, expressing that he was helpless.

Damn it, it's the same as when I was a child.

Father Liu was dubious, knowing that his daughter's acting skills were average, and her ability to be the leading female role was all through the back door, so he didn't ask any more questions.

The story goes something like this.

There are a lot of reporters coming to the community to take secret photos.

Even though the real estate agent gave the guard a salary increase, Lu Yuan secretly gave him a few good cigarettes, and he vowed to take strict precautions.

It's too red and it's quite troublesome.

After returning to the house, he asked the old woman and found out that he was going to stay in the villa for a while, so he made a noise and wanted to come and play.

So this morning, when the sky was slightly bright, Lu Yuan drove to the villa alone.

Not alone, after arriving at the villa, he also called Liu Shishi.

Liu's father answered the phone and asked him what he was doing.

Yan Po also has an identity as Mei Ting's ex-husband.

Sometimes he really hopes that something big can be released online to divert the attention of the media and give him a break.

The old woman complained to him many times, saying that someone would secretly film her when she helped him go downstairs to throw away the trash, and even a reporter looked through the trash can obscenely after she left.

So when my brother-in-law went to work, he sent these two little things to the villa.

The siblings are named after Yao Qi Meiyu.

It was quite miserable. He was stabbed 13 times, with blood on the blades. His hamstrings were cut off, and he was seriously injured.

The reason why I came to the villa was because the popularity of "Before Dawn" made the community too noisy.

Well, he just pretended to be confused because he understood, and now he has accepted his fate. This father-in-law is probably destined.

A few days ago, Yan Po was viciously attacked by ten gangsters in a parking lot in Beijing.

But the beating incident did not affect the popularity of "Before Dawn" at all.

The word Yao refers to beautiful jade, which symbolizes beauty, preciousness, brightness and whiteness. The word Qi is also a kind of beautiful jade, and also contains the meaning of flourishing flowers and plants.

Chen Kun repeatedly reminded him not to provoke him, as this person had a very tough background.

Li Xiaoran's current boyfriend is Yan Po, a director.

The little nephew has an official name, Zhou Qi.

Lu laughed unkindly.

The two have been having an affair.

The crying stopped.

But the enemy is outnumbered and the veterans are too ambitious and weak to stop all the reporters from infiltrating.

After a while, Zhou Yaoyao jumped out from nowhere, holding a branch in her hand and staring at her stinky brother, her eyes widening.

The information is indeed there, and he also knows the person, his name is Li Xiaoran.

He was extremely controlling. After breaking up with Li Xiaoran, he threatened and stalked her with sulfuric acid and AIDS injections.

Fortunately, he was discovered in time and rushed to the hospital for treatment, and his life was saved.

Ten perpetrators were arrested in accordance with the law and admitted that the motive for committing the crime was to vent their anger on a friend, who was Li Xiaoran's ex-boyfriend.

In fact, this matter happened as early as when filming "Human Love", Chen Kun had greeted him and said that Li Xiaoran had a boyfriend who was a big brother.

Now it seems that his behavior is indeed that of a big brother, and he seems a bit unscrupulous.

The little guy woke up in the morning, finished washing, and knocked on his uncle's door in a daze, but no one opened it.

How lonely and boring it is to be alone.

Later, Li Xiaoran appeared at the Public Security Bureau and admitted to the media for the first time that they were a couple, which also implicated the love-hate relationship in the entire incident.

It expresses the expectations of the old woman and her brother-in-law for the future of their two children.

Lu calmly explained that "Step by Step" is about to start filming, and as an investor and leading actor, he needs to take the heroine to study the script carefully.

Lu Yuan decided to live somewhere else.

After staring at the three people laughing and playing in the courtyard for a long time, Lu Yuan looked away.

The popularity of "Before Dawn" has set off a second round of spy war craze on the Internet.

Of course, countless scripts and business endorsement offers poured in within the next few days.

Wu Lang received a soft call. Compared with the past, his salary has increased again, and his endorsement fees have also soared.

At the end of last year, he signed a two-year contract with Longines, with an endorsement fee of 2 million. At the beginning of the year, he signed a contract with Runtian, which was priced at 2500% of the shares and announced to the public that it would be 5 million for two years.

Recently, some brands have contacted Wu Lang in an attempt to break this record.

Several endorsement brands related to him, such as Runtian, BYD, and Longines, sent congratulatory messages one after another.

Congratulations and also informed that due to the popularity of "Before Dawn", their product sales have increased significantly recently.

Runtian is the most exaggerated. In Hunan, Guangzhou, Shanghai and other places, the mineral water is sold out.

The company was valued at 8 million a year ago, and the signing took less than half a year to reach 10 billion.

It is no exaggeration to say that "Before Dawn" made Lu Yuan the most talked about actor in June.

The commercial value of the supporting actors, including Lin Yongjian, Chen Shu, Ren Zhengbin, and Zhang Xilin, has also increased significantly.

He can be considered as fulfilling the promise he made before starting the movie. A drama that took Ren Zhengbin and Zhang Xilin to the next level.

The two took advantage of the popularity and were interviewed by various reporters, expressing their gratitude to him both inside and outside their words.

Lu Yuan himself was quite calm. After all, he had experienced the same thing last year.

Especially in the following days, "Dawn"'s reputation and ratings increased steadily, while "Dream of Red Mansions" hit rock bottom, and they no longer deliberately maintained attention.

There is nothing to pay attention to, it is all flattery, even a bit over-flattering, and it is not good to see too much.

Lu Yuan is not a first-time celebrity, so he is quite sober. What netizens like is the role. Because of the extension of the role, they indirectly like him who plays the role. He is just an ordinary actor, so he must not get carried away.

My second uncle said that when a person drifts away, there will be problems.

He took it to heart.

As the media said, the popularity of "Before Dawn" means that he has become the only one in the country in the field of spy dramas, and spy dramas have been his exclusive territory since then.

One is "Insidious" and the other is "Dawn". Netizens are arguing over the ranking.

Regardless of the final outcome, with two classics by his side, from now on, when it comes to spy movies, his character cannot be avoided. As long as he doesn't make principled mistakes in the rest of his acting career.

Even if "33 Days of Love" did not do well at the box office, even if "Snow Leopard" received mediocre ratings.

As long as he is willing to act in espionage, he will not be short of movies. As long as the espionage industry does not collapse, he will have the opportunity to start over again, and the remuneration is so high that it can make ordinary first-liners like Hu Jian doubt his life. .

Lu Yuan recovered his thoughts and opened the script of "Step by Step".

In the second half of this year, in addition to "Step by Step", he will also have a TV series "Eternal Number" and two movies, "The Founding of the Party" and "Flying Swords of Dragon Gate".

Movies are the top priority, related to his development on the big screen. In comparison, the importance of TV series is ranked behind.

He is not worried about "The Great Cause of the Founding of the Party". It is a movie destined to be a hit. The national conditions are such that the example of "The Great Cause of the Founding of the People's Republic of China" still exists.

As for why he took over the filming of "Flying Swords of Dragon Gate" in the first place, it was purely because the character attracted him.

Since his debut, he has never played a villain.

In his opinion, if Yu Huatian plays the role well, he may be even better than the male lead.

And the cast should not be underestimated, including Jet Li, Zhou Xun.

To be honest, he really wanted to meet Zhou Xun again.

With such a luxurious lineup, I think the final box office will not be too bad.

In addition, he also needs to pay close attention to the promotion of "33 Days of Love".

Thanks to the popularity of "Before Dawn", "33 Days Later" is extremely popular on the Internet.

Several leading actors, including Lu Yuan, released their videos on platforms such as Weibo Renren, and the feedback was unexpectedly good.

The official website of "33 Days of Love" established by the crew, netizens continue to publish their love-break stories every day, and share books, songs, etc. related to love-breaks.

Everything is going in the right direction.

Lu Yuan held a pen and wrote on the script, doing desk preparations.

The phone rang, it was Huang Xiaoming.

"Hey, senior brother, something's up." He waved to his little nephew who was lying outside the window, pouting and looking in curiously.

"Junior brother, are you busy?"

"Well, I'm busy. I still need someone for the next part of the film. I'm just thinking about who to cast."

"No, didn't you invite me? Who else are you planning to find?" Huang Xiaoming was very anxious.

Lu Yuan teased: "But I remember you always said you should think about it?"

"Is that so? You remember wrongly. I agreed a long time ago. Who else is more suitable for me than me? Junior brother, now Nortel relies on the two of us to carry the banner."

Lu Yuan rolled his eyes and said, "Okay, okay, senior brother, you're almost done."

The two chatted about their current situation and hung up the phone.

The popularity of "Before Dawn" made this senior brother completely unable to sit still, and he did not talk about getting a role for his girlfriend.

Lu Yuan smiled, this senior brother is quite interesting.

Suddenly I heard a cry and looked up out of the window.

He stood up and roared: "Zhou Yaoyao, if you dare to bully my brother again, watch your butt!"

When Lu Yuan avoided reporters and stayed in the villa to prepare for his next drama.

The soaring ratings of "Before Dawn" caught one person's attention.

The founder of Qiyi, Gong Yu.

This person, Wang Wei, Gu Yongqiang, etc., are among the earliest practitioners of the Internet in China.

He was restless as a child and had the idea of ​​becoming a capitalist when he was studying. However, he endured his restlessness and did not start a business until he finished his PhD.

Founded the Focus Real Estate Network in 1999, but unfortunately was hit by the Internet bubble in 2000.

In 03, it was sold to Zhang Chaoyang for US$1600 million, and he became the chief operating officer of Sohu, becoming the second-in-command of Sohu after Zhang Chaoyang.

Later, he joined Wuxunqi, which has a background in China Mobile, the famous China Mobile 12580, and served as president and chief operating officer.

This year, the video website Qiyi.com was officially established.

The first investor is Baidu, and the other is American venture capital Providence Equity Partners, an investor in Hulu.

In the eyes of ordinary people, starting a business in the Internet industry at the age of 42 is a very risky thing. Such adventures should be taken by those born in the 70s, or even those born in the 80s, who have more youth and energy to " Trial and error” and go for it.

But Gong Yu, who was born in 68, resolutely entered the video website industry.

In his own words, at Sohu and 12580, he followed the route of a professional manager, but deep down he felt that he was still young and passionate, and wanted to start a more entrepreneurial enterprise.

2010 was a time of bloody battle in the video industry.

As the CEO of Qiyi, Gong Yu has a heavy burden.

He must be responsible for his investors and fight his way through the fierce video battle.

What does a video website rely on to attract users? The answer is content.

The richness and excitement of video content sources directly affect user stickiness. Only good content can retain users.

In the early days, video websites focused on "sharing" and focused on content uploaded and displayed by users. This is how video sharing websites such as Youku and Tudou became big.

At that time, "photographers" were very popular.

Later, video websites competed with traditional TV.

It expands traffic by playing popular film and television programs, and even joins the competition for first broadcast and exclusive broadcast rights, attracting a large number of fans of film and television dramas.

In recent years, as the competent authorities have strengthened their supervision of the video website industry, the pursuit of genuine content has been regarded by some video websites as the only way out for the development of the domestic video industry.

Qiyi is one of them.

The popularity of "Before Dawn" made Gong Yu once again focus on this "King of Spies" who has been in the limelight recently.

The reason for this is because before "Before Dawn" was broadcast, the company's employees had approached each other with the intention of purchasing the online broadcast rights of "Before Dawn".

Nowadays, several video networks in the circle know one thing.

When signing a contract for a TV series starring Lu Yuan, the network rights will be obtained in advance through remuneration or other means.

When the company contacted the other party for purchasing at the beginning of the year, the two parties did not reach an agreement because they were not satisfied with the price.

In view of the popularity of "Latent", Gong Yu's original quotation was 20 yuan per episode.

Compared to the market price of RMB 1 to RMB 3 per episode, this price is very high. I thought I would get it, but I was rejected on the spot.

The purchaser asked him if he wanted to increase the price. He replied at the time that he would wait, but later he was busy with other things and dropped the matter.

Now that "Before Dawn" is on the air, he is annoyed.

None of the other video websites currently on the market plays "Before Dawn."

It means that he still has a chance, and the other party is still waiting for a sincere price.

He was also thinking about what would happen if he paid a sky-high price to hire the "King of Spies" to star in a spy drama, and instead of broadcasting it on a TV station, it would be broadcast exclusively on Qiyi.

At the same time, he also considered that Qiyi was building its own copyright library and forming an alliance with a traditional film and television production company, which was quite strategic.

It just so happens that Lu Yuan owns Huayi's shares, so it may be a good idea to acquire or exchange them with Qiyi's shares.

He decided to make an appointment with the No. 1 youngster in the Mainland to meet him tomorrow.

PS: Qiyi is the predecessor of iQiyi, and there was no brand upgrade at that time.
