Full-time actor

Chapter 418 [101] Cheng Long?
PPS, the predecessor of iQiyi, is known as the world's first online TV software that integrates P2P live broadcast and on-demand. It can watch movies, TV series, live sports, game competitions, animation, variety shows, news, financial information, etc. online.

This software and website are completely free, no registration is required, just download and use.

But in fact, another company of the same type, PP-live, was founded earlier than it, and was launched at the end of 04.

It uses a mesh model to effectively solve the problem of limited bandwidth and load of online video on demand services, achieving the feature that the more users there are, the smoother the playback will be!
Both video websites have had brilliant records since their establishment.

During the Super Girl finals in 2005, pp-live was very popular, and hundreds of thousands of users watched Mango Channel through it.

The pps is equally awesome. It was an online video that successfully completed the live broadcast when the "Shenzhou VI" was launched in 05.

These two video websites are different from Tudou and Youku, which slowly accumulate users; once they were launched, their users showed explosive growth.

The reason is of course simple, word of mouth.

After one person uses it in your dormitory or Internet cafe, you will definitely recommend it to others. And the more users, the smoother the viewing is said to be.

Chen Yu was also a user of these two websites back then, so he knew this technology very well.

There is a Golden Horse Awards ceremony in the evening, and the two of us have to watch it together.

……

After all, I have been shortlisted for the Hong Kong Film Awards many times.

International movie star is his goal.

Moreover, it can also develop the ratings of local TV stations.

After filming these two movies, he should completely join Hollywood and shoot "Mission: Impossible 3" and "Fast and Furious 3"!
There are actually still schedules, but Chen Yu obviously doesn't want to be so tired.

It's simply killing multiple birds with one stone.

Everyone has actually overlooked a very important point, that is, "Legend of Sword and Fairy" is a game adaptation, and many fan groups are game fans, and they have strong purchasing power.

You know, the VCD and DVD of "Sword and Fairy" in the previous life were very popular.

The effect of popular dramas is very important to the promotion of the website.

“We also need to buffer long videos!”

When he thought of this, Chen Yu felt that he had a lot to do.

These don't cost much money at the moment, but they are enough to gain exposure.

"If I can't get to the stars, I'll just take my time!"

The end of 04 is definitely the best time to launch P2P technology.

With the popularity of "Sword and Fairy", Chen Yu's video website can be directly accumulated to a large enough user group.

"I can build this software in a week, in a week!"

No amount of money can buy this.

3-4 movies a year, this is the most perfect state.

Therefore, Chen Yu's chance to become the Golden Horse Best Actor is probably far away; however, he doesn't take it to heart.

During the buffering period, Erdong.com's advertisements were directly posted, and the film and television discs of "Legend of Sword and Fairy" could be purchased online. This was also a sales strategy.

It’s not just the appeal of Chen Yu and Liu Yifei.

This is actually quite normal. Lao Mouzi has won awards all over the world, but the Golden Horse has never been mentioned once.

After Chen Yu visited his two companies, he went directly to Liu Yifei's home.

Lao Yao was patting his chest, and Cheng Jie next to him was also saying: "If Lao Yao comes out with the software, I can get it on the web page!"

The rest of the time, recharge yourself, go on vacation, and manage the company.

In the next month, in addition to filming "A World Without Thieves" with Liu Yifei, "Kung Fu" will be released next month, and "Sword of Immortal" will be released!
The next part of "The Condor", as well as Chen Yu's two new self-produced films "The King of Soldiers" and "The Embalmer", will not be released until the spring of next year.

"If you show it to the alliances of the seven regions, they will all go crazy, right?"

Although the buffering time for watching TV series online is a bit long, there must be a patient user group; not to mention the PPS model.

Not once shortlisted.

In the past, the ratings of local stations were limited to surrounding areas; now that the Internet is all flooding into their TV station, how big a wave of traffic will this have?
Chen Yu felt excited just thinking about it.

When "Sword and Sword" becomes more popular, the website ratings and so on will only get better and better.

“Advertise on Baidu search, Tieba, and media, let’s promote it!”

This is a new technology that can revolutionize the life of television stations.

This confirms the saying, a knife cuts the butt and opens the eyes.

As for the best film and best director, they are "Kekexili" and Johnnie To respectively!
"Ambush from Flying Daggers" yielded no results.

Chen Yu is preparing for multi-faceted development this time.

Xiangjiang Treasure Island, Japan and other places are sold out.

“Just waiting for the product to be launched!”

Chen Yu also asked him specifically. It wasn't that the film studio didn't submit it, but that the Golden Horse really didn't select him. It would be fine if one or two films were not shortlisted. All the films Zhang Yimou made after graduation were not nominated, which is a bit unjustifiable. .

As expected by Chen Yu, the Best Actor of this year's Golden Horse went to Liu Dehua from "Infernal Affairs 3: The Ultimate"; while the Best Actress was an immediate upset. Zhang Ziyi regretted missing out on the Best Actress. Yang Guimei won with her "Under the Moonlight I Remember" won the gold medal, which can be said to be an absolute upset.

However, the ideal is beautiful, but the reality is cruel. Early the next morning, he received an unexpected phone call.

The director of the last Golden Rooster Award - Lang Kun.

"Chen Yu, I didn't disturb you, did I?"

Lang Kun's gentle voice came from the other end of the phone, and Chen Yu hurriedly said: "No, no, Director Lang!"

This year Lang Kun replaced last year's Yuan Dewang as the chief director of the 05 Spring Festival Gala. Chen Yu heard the news.

Although the Spring Festival Gala directed by Yuan Dewang last year had the highest ratings in recent years, and Chen Yu's magic show had the highest ratings and even won first prize in other categories, this year Yuan Dewang did not submit a bid to CCTV .

Lao Yuan still understands the principle of protecting one's own safety. Last year, he was the candidate who was temporarily brought in to put out the fire. If it continues this year, it will be bad if one of them is not easy to be stigmatized and ends up with no guarantee.

Directors like them know the difficulty of directing the Spring Festival Gala better than anyone else.

So Lang Kun took the lead in this year's Spring Festival Gala.

"I want to invite you to this year's Spring Festival Gala. Do you have the time?"

Lang Kun seemed quite polite. Of course Chen Yu was not available, but he couldn't say it so directly: "Director Lang, I'm sorry, it's not that I don't want to come. The schedule is a bit tight recently..."

He still vividly remembers the rehearsal of last year's Spring Festival Gala, which was definitely time-consuming and labor-intensive; and the eight minutes of this year's Olympic Games tortured him so much that Chen Yu really didn't want to perform on stage anymore.

At least, I definitely don’t want to in the next 1-2 years.

But, Lang Kun was still kind to him. Without him, Chen Yu might not have been able to attend the Spring Festival Gala last year.

Although he also passed the review step by step, but no matter what, it was his words.

Chen Yu always remembered this, so he couldn't shirk it too much. "Hahaha, I understand!"

Lang Kun was not angry and smiled on the phone.

Today is different from the past, Chen Yu's popularity is there; last year he was only slightly famous, but now he is famous throughout the country.

"Chen Yu, I really can't help it!"

Lang Kun, the chief director, lowered his arrogance a bit and sighed: "The leader of CCTV said that your Olympic kung fu program was so good and wanted you to perform another one. Let me test your tone and see if you can squeeze it out. Take some time..."

"How about a kung fu show?"

"..."

Chen Yu was a little confused.

"Don't refuse first. How about we find a time to meet?"

"We can discuss the time!"

"You don't have to go through the censorship and just perform a kung fu show, how about that?"

Lang Kun really wanted Chen Yu to appear, and it wasn't his own opinion, but really the pressure from CCTV; Chen Yu's level in "8 Minutes in the Capital" was there, and he would definitely be popular if he appeared on the Spring Festival Gala.

"I also invited Cheng Long this year. I discussed some ideas with him. The two of you performed on stage together. I think this is a breaking point!"

"You guys sing and dance together. For rehearsals, I'll try to pick your time!"

"..."

Lang Kun was very eloquent, and he talked endlessly. Moreover, it was hard for Chen Yu to refuse when he had already talked about it.

Mainly, Chen Yu had to return the favor.

In the end, Chen Yu did not agree directly. He only said that he could participate in the rehearsal. If there was a conflict, he would have to leave at any time.

"It's okay. If you are free someday, if Cheng Long comes, can we meet and have a meal together?"

"Okay, Director Lang! If nothing happens to me in December, I should be in the Imperial Capital!"

"I can squeeze out time next month, but it's hard to control when. It may be at night, but I have to perform road shows or film during the day. I may film at night, but I won't have time during the day..."

Chen Yu made this point very straightforward to Lang Kun.

He has come into contact with so many artists, so he should understand.

"Well, let's talk about it next month and make an appointment first; if possible, we can just rehearse it and it will be about right. After all, you and Cheng Long are so popular!"

Some people go to the Spring Festival Gala and are not allowed to make any mistakes.

But like Cheng Long and Chen Yu, they are invited artists. They only need to light up the stage when singing and dancing. Other requirements do not need to be too high.

Chen Yu has no intention of appearing in sketches because he is really too busy this year; the review of sketches is the most troublesome. Even for "Not Short of Money", Mr. Benshan was tortured by the review in his previous life. He was seriously ill and could not review the manuscript more than three times. .

Singing and dancing are the easiest in comparison.

After hanging up the phone with Lang Kun, Chen Yuzhang exhaled; he now finally understood what many celebrities said in his previous life.

People in the arena involuntarily.

Some things are not just a matter of whether you are willing or not, you must consider all aspects; dealing with others is a lifelong knowledge.

***
After meeting up with Liu Yifei and Liu Xiaoli, Chen Yu and the others flew towards the crew of "A World Without Thieves".

The story of "A World Without Thieves" tells the story of a pair of pickpocket partners who started a series of overt and covert battles with another pickpocketing gang on a train in order to fulfill the wish of a migrant worker named Shagen to "have a world without thieves". …

Director Feng Xiaogang chose Gansu as the filming location, and the imperial capital was used for the train scenes.

It cost millions to build the "Out of Nothing" train. The "train" is about 40 meters long and divided into four carriages: soft sleeper, hard sleeper, dining car and hard seat. The story of the film unfolds in these four carriages!

The main actors in the location scenes are actually Chen Yu, Liu Yifei and "Shagen" Baoqiang.

Only on the train did Chen Yu meet "Uncle Li" and his gang.

Uncle Li is still played by Uncle Ge Youge, who has played opposite Chen Yu. In this drama, his performance is still very sharp.

There is a scene where he plays an old man, which is absolutely amazing.

This time, Chen Yu has a lot of roles opposite him, so he can enjoy his acting skills.

To be honest, in "Kara is a Dog", Chen Yu still has some unfinished ideas.

Now two years have passed, and he really wants to see if there is any gap between him and Uncle Ge now? !

As for the selection of other roles, most of them have not changed.

Li Bingbing's second female lead, You Yong's second lead in the pickpocket gang; the only thing that has changed is the four eyes. In the previous life, because Andy Lau played the lead male lead, he took Lin Jiadong to play this role; now Chen Yu has replaced Hua Zai, then Hua Yi could only choose this role by herself.

Huang Xiaoming, played four eyes.

"The heads of the alliances in the seven districts are all interested in "Sword of Immortality" and they want to buy it together!"

"But the big brother in East China wants to ask about the exclusive price!"

After filming in Gansu for almost a week, Chen Yu finally received a call from Cai Yinong.

This week, Cai Yinong has been contacting about the broadcast of "Sword of Immortality". It is already December. Both theaters and TV stations are currently working hard for the final sprint; in China before 12, The end of the year is the best period for ratings and box office.

Whether it’s a TV series or a movie, we all want to meet the audience during this time period.

"Wait until I go back in two days. Can you call the heads of the seven major regions?"

Chen Yu and Liu Yifei are about to finish filming the Gansu scene for "A World Without Thieves". When they returned to the imperial capital, they were filming on the train with Ge You and the others.

"I definitely don't have the face. Why don't you call Brother Yu?"

Cai Yinong was joking there, asking the ratings alliances of the seven regions to take the initiative to discuss cooperation. Who can have such a big face?
Even Zhang Jizhong can’t!

"It's okay, they will come!"

"..."

Cai Yinong on the other end of the phone was a little confused. Will they come?

"What do you mean?"

Cai Yinong was stunned, even if you are Chen Yu!
It's not like the people in charge don't know what "Sword and Fairy" is about. To put it bluntly, it's only for the sake of getting ratings. After all, the popularity of Chen Yu and Liu Yifei lies there.

But if you ask the alliance of the seven regions to come to the imperial capital to discuss broadcasting, isn't this inherently weaker?

Who takes the initiative in industry negotiations and who gets manipulated is the simplest and clearest thing. In the past few days, Cai Yinong has been begging them; how can it be the other way around?

Cai Yinong shook his head, thinking that Chen Yu's fame was a bit inflated? !

But after thinking about it, it was impossible, because Chen Yu had always been very polite to her.

Unable to figure it out, Cai Yinong can only wait until Chen Yu returns to Beijing. Anyway, she has been living in the imperial capital these days because of "Sword of Immortal".
