China Entertainment: Return to 2007

"Donggong?

Adapted into a TV series?

But it hasn’t been serialized yet? "

Biewo Sicun looked at Xu Ge with a confused look on his face.

There are many works written by Bie Wo Si Cun, such as "Split Brocade", "Late Spring in the Lonely Empty Garden", "No Time to Say I Love You", "Snow on Thousand Mountains at Dusk"... and so on.

"East Palace" is not unique among these works.

On the contrary, on the Internet, "Late Spring in the Lonely Empty Garden" and "Late Snow on Thousand Mountains" are the most popular.

At this time, the plot of "East Palace" has not yet experienced a major twist, and the heart-wrenching scenes have not yet really come, so its reputation is not as good as the first two.

More importantly, "East Palace" is still in the serialization stage, and even Bandit Wo Sicun hasn't had time to design the follow-up plot in detail.

I can’t wait to adapt it so damn hard, what if it overturns?

"It's okay, just revise as you write, don't worry." Xu Ge reassured: "Anyway, with your usual cruelty, the ending will definitely be cruel. If you write the script according to this idea, it will definitely not deviate from the plot."

Bandit Wo Si Cun: "..."

Good guy, are you polite for being so direct?

"How to divide the copyright?" Bie Wo Sicun pointed out the core interests.

"The estimated investment for "East Palace" is 3 million. You paid 8 million for the copyright and the role of screenwriter and chief planner, occupying % of the share." Xu Ge said generously.

"Okay, deal!"

Tong Hua's "Bu Bu Jing Xin" only received one million yuan for copyright.

Gu Man's "Wei Wei" only received 2 million bonus points.

"East Palace" can get 3 million and occupy 8% of the investment share.

For Bandit Wo Sicun, I am quite satisfied.

And she can get this price, in addition to external factors, the current copyright increase,

The more important reason is that Xu Ge takes a fancy to her personal abilities.

Unlike Gu Mantonghua who can only be a screenwriter, Bie Wo Si Cun has considerable planning and directing abilities.

Later "Chen Qianqian" and "Give Us Warm Little Time" were planned and directed by her.

With her as a screenwriter and novel author serving as the chief planner of "East Palace", she can definitely get twice the result with half the effort.

"Xu Ge, director, who are you going to choose?" Bie Wo Sicun asked.

"Liang Shengquan," Xu Ge simply said with astonishment: "Director Liang is very capable. "The Story of Ancient Swords" has just been completed, and now is the time for him to show off his talents."

"I know Director Liang, he is indeed a suitable candidate." Bie Wo Sicun asked again: "What about the hero and heroine?"

"The hero asks Luo to come up."

"Li Chengyin is dark and tolerant, yet affectionate and single-minded. He has some similarities with Fourth Elder Brother. Luo Jin is indeed the best candidate." Bie Wo Si Cun nodded.

"As for the heroine, there is still an investor in this drama, so I will leave it to them. Don't interfere too much. Do you understand?" Xu Ge warned.

"I see, isn't it just the relationship account that the financial owner's father brought in? I understand the rules." Bie Wosi Cun said with a smile.

Xu Ge: "..."

After discussing with Bandit Wo Si Cun and instructing her to write the script in the near future, Xu Ge left the teahouse.

After getting into Xiao Liu's car and driving for half an hour, Xu Ge came to a quiet bar somewhere.

"Old Xu, you are finally here."

Outside the gate, Wumeng and Xu Yi waited for a long time. When they saw Xu Ge, they hurriedly greeted him.

"Xu Ge, long time no see." Xu Yi stretched out his hand to hold Xu Ge's hand: "You are such a good hands-off shopkeeper. You haven't been here for half a year, right? Aren't you afraid that I'll cheat you on Station B?"

"What are you afraid of? At worst, we can just invest another 5 million and build a C station." Xu Ge pretended.

"Fuck! Stop pretending, sit inside and talk if you have anything to do." Wumeng urged.

"Okay, let's chat while drinking." Xu Ge nodded and walked in first. Soon, Wumeng Xu Yi also followed.

"Why didn't you order two girls?" Sitting in a quiet bar box, looking at the empty room with one girl, Xu Ge couldn't help but laugh: "Are you afraid that I'm too handsome? I'll steal your limelight?"

"Pull you down, we are afraid that you will make another mistake!" Wumeng retorted directly: "Ni Ni has already captured Aunt Hong and Uncle Xu. Before coming out, Aunt Hong repeatedly told me to let me Don’t let me lead you astray!”

"Wumeng is the conscience of heaven and earth, forget it," Xu Yi sighed: "I, Xu Yi, an upright gentleman, have been automatically included in the ranks of scumbags. Do you think I am unjust?"

"Go away!" Xu Gewumeng raised his middle finger to Xu Yi in unison.

Xu Yi: "..."

After chatting with each other for a while, they opened a bottle of XO and the three of them tasted it slowly.

"Old Xu, why did you call us here?" Wumeng asked.

"How is station B developing now?" Xu Ge asked in surprise.

"After a year of development, under the three major reform policies of insisting on never inserting advertisements in new episodes, vigorously purchasing new animation episodes, and continuing to support original video UP owners,

Currently, Bilibili has 30 million registered users and VIP users.

With nearly 5 million monthly active users, it has actually surpassed Station A and is at the bottom of the second tier of video websites. "

As the de facto person in charge of Station B, Xu Yi is familiar with all this: "However, Station B is currently unable to make ends meet. Excluding advertising revenue, it needs to spend nearly 500 million yuan on blood transfusions every month.

And this is just the beginning,

In the future, as the number of users increases, broadband and operating costs will become higher and higher.

At present, the 5 million funds you invested have been basically used up, and there is not much left. "

Good guy, playing on video websites is really a waste of money!

In just one year, all 50 million was spent.

Although he had expected it, Xu Ge was still a little surprised when this ironclad fact was before his eyes.

"It doesn't matter, I will give you another 5 million tomorrow. We must ensure the rapid development of station B!" I can't bear to let my children catch the wolf. Compared with the huge harvest in the future, the investment at this time is worth it.

Fortunately, "Monster Hunt" was a huge success and earned Xu Ge a lot of money.

Otherwise, Xu Ge may fall into the embarrassing situation of negative loan again.

"Lao Xu, in the short term, Station B is not burning money very fast, so you can still withstand it," Wumeng suggested: "But in two years, the bigger it develops, the greater the losses will be.

The best way at the moment is to find financing,

In this way, the financial pressure is solved, and secondly, it can also provide Bilibili with more background and help Bilibili develop rapidly. "

"That's right. Do you have any suitable financing channels?" Xu Ge nodded.

"It's a coincidence," Xu Yi poured a bottle of XO and took a sip. He smiled and said: "While I was working as an UP host at station A, I met an anime fan on the Internet.

We have been in contact for the past two years. Last month, he came to me and said he wanted to invest in Bilibili. I didn’t dare to make the decision without authorization, so I wanted to ask you what you think. "

"What's his name? What route did he take?" Xu Ge asked quickly as he thought about it.

"His name is Chen Rui, former Kingsoft and now co-founder of Cheetah Mobile. He is very sincere and has been asking me to make an appointment with you and wants to meet you."

Chen Rui?

Sure enough it was him!

Anyone familiar with Bilibili knows that Bilibili started with Xu Yi but flourished with Chen Rui.

In 2011, Chen Rui took a fancy to the start-up Bilibili and became an angel investor at Bilibili. With the help of his funds and vision, Station B has developed rapidly.

Finally, in 14, after Cheetah Mobile was successfully listed, Chen Rui withdrew all his funds and devoted himself to station B.

And Xu Yi was also very smart to give up his dominant position and was willing to be a foil and a green leaf.

This was the reason for Station B’s subsequent great success.

In this life, Xu Ge took the lead and took the lead in winning Station B and Xu Yi.

Although Chen Rui is greedy and wants to invest heavily in station B and take over station B,

But with Xu Ge as a super major shareholder, he has little chance of success.

"Okay, it's better to choose a day than to hit the sun. You call him now and ask him to come and meet now." After a pause, Xu Ge added: "You tell him that I am only free tonight. If I miss tonight, next time I don’t know when the last time I’ll be free will be.”

"Okay, I understand." Xu Yi nodded and immediately took out his mobile phone to make a call.

It didn't take long for the call to be connected, and Xu Yi quickly conveyed the message.

Upon hearing about this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, Chen Rui immediately nodded and agreed to the appointment.

An hour later, Chen Rui came to the bar box, knocked on the door, and walked in wearing a suit: "Hello, Director Xu, I am Chen Rui."

"I have long admired your name. Please take a seat, Wumeng, and pour some wine." The younger sister was still not called. In the box, the four of them, Xu Ge and Wumeng, sat opposite each other.

"Thank you, Director Xu, thank you, Mr. Wu, Mr. Xu."

Chen Rui is a middle-aged elegant man. After greeting him politely, he took the initiative to propose a toast to Xu Ge: "Dr. Xu, let me toast you."

Xu Ge raised his glass and touched it with Chen Rui: "Here, cheers."

The two drank the wine in one gulp and looked at each other with a smile.

After chatting for a while and singing a few glasses of wine, when the atmosphere was just right,

Xu Ge took the initiative and said: "I heard from Xu Yi, Mr. Chen wants to invest in Station B?"

"That's right," Chen Rui put down his wine glass and nodded: "Bilibili B has a unique positioning and is developing rapidly. It is very hopeful that it will become another video giant after Tudou and Youku.

I am very optimistic about its development. If possible, I would like to join you. I ask Director Xu to accept my kindness. "

In the previous life, Station B had developed for 2 years and was still not comparable to Station A. It was just an inconspicuous little bamboo raft in the vast ocean of the Internet.

So when Chen Rui proposed investment, Xu Yi immediately agreed!

In this life, with the help of Xu Ge, Station B not only found the right direction early, but also had no shortage of funds.

Nowadays, audio and video have developed,

Therefore, at this time, facing Xu Ge, Chen Rui was actually at an absolute disadvantage.

"I wonder what you can bring to Station B?" Xu Ge asked with a chuckle.

The development of Station B is now at a critical time. Although Chen Rui has proven himself in his previous life,

But that is based on the premise that he goes all out for Station B.

Now that Xu Ge is at the helm of Station B, it is impossible to completely delegate power to Chen Rui. It is still unclear whether Chen Rui can do his best.

Therefore, if Chen Rui cannot bring realistic benefits to Station B, Xu Ge would rather deviate from history and go into battle himself.

"Director Xu," knowing what this trip meant, Chen Rui took a deep breath and promised: "I am willing to invest 15 million to only occupy % of the shares of station B.

If you can agree to my investment, I am willing to use my connections to advocate for Bilibili and develop business in areas such as games, advertising, e-commerce, etc.

Help Station B to be successfully listed in the future. "

thirty million?

15%?

In just one year, is Bilibili already valued at 2 million?

Xu Yi looked at Chen Rui in surprise.

"10%!" Xu Ge said coldly: "Station B does not lack funds, it only lacks time. I will give you 3% at most for million!"

"13%!" Chen Rui smiled and said: "I have connections that can bring broader development space to station B. I want this number, which is not excessive at all."

"12%, forget it if it doesn't work." Xu Ge gave an ultimatum.

Chen Rui hesitated for a long time, and finally nodded heavily: "Okay, who made you, Mr. Xu, so discerning that you invested in Station B immediately? 12% is just 12%, just like making a friend."

"Wait, I haven't agreed yet."

"What do you mean, Mr. Xu?"

"If you want to truly join Station B, you must quit Cheetah Mobile." Xu Ge said calmly: "Station B does not lack funds, what I lack is talents.

Mr. Chen, as long as you quit Cheetah, I am willing to appoint you as the executive vice president of Station B, responsible for all matters of external communication and advertising investment of the entire B station. "

"What if I don't quit?" Chen Rui asked.

"Then I can only tell you with regret that you have no connection with Station B."

With the memory of his past life, Xu Ge is confident that even without Chen Rui's joining, he can bring Station B to its peak.

Of course, if Chen Rui is willing to join, Xu Ge will undoubtedly be more certain of success.

"Director Xu," after thinking for a long time, Chen Rui still couldn't make up his mind. He gritted his teeth and said: "This is really too big. I can't make an easy decision at the moment.

Mr. Xu, can you allow me to think about it for a few more days?

I'll contact you again in a few days. "

"Okay, I'll give you another week,

After a week, if you still can't make up your mind, all conditions are cleared. "

"Thank you, Mr. Xu."

Xu Yiwumeng replaced Xu Ge and sent Chen Rui away.

Back in the box, Xu Ge was sipping fine wine.

Seeing that he was in good spirits, Wumeng stepped forward and asked: "Old Xu, Chen Rui is very sincere, why do you have to ask him to give up his Cheetah career?

Cheetah is about to go on the market, and he is unlikely to give up the wealth he is about to obtain for an out-of-reach Bilibili. "

"Old Wu, you are wrong," Xu Ge shook his head and said: "The upper limit of Cheetah is tens of billions at most, while Station B starts with hundreds of billions. He can naturally tell the difference between the lighter and the heavier.

And whether at Kingsoft or Cheetah, he is only a co-founder and does not have real decision-making power.

And at station B, as long as he is really willing to break the bank and join station B,

I can give him decision-making and execution rights! "

Xu Yi nodded in approval: "Chen Rui's shares in Cheetah are not large. Even if it is successfully listed, it will be worth at most 100 million.

Sell ​​these shares now for a brand new future.

I believe he will make the right decision. "

After a pause, Xu Yi said again: "Xu Ge, after this year's development, I found that I may not be suitable for the heavy responsibility of being the CEO of station B. My strengths lie in technology and maintenance.

On the contrary, Chen Rui has considerable operational and management experience.

If Bilibili were to have him as CEO, I believe it would be able to reach a higher level. "

"Ability is one thing, and affection is another thing even more.

I value affection more than ability. "Xu Ge smiled and looked at Xu Yi and Wumeng: "Ability can be cultivated slowly, but love is extremely difficult to obtain.

You are the first to follow me, and I will always consider your interests no matter what. "
