Start earning money as the girl next door

The development of the Internet industry has just begun, and it is not the stage where users and traffic peak.So, let’s keep working hard!

——Weibo CEO Bai Xiaolu”

After Weibo's venture capital investment ended, Bai Xiaolu began to conduct an internal company letter to Weibo's operations team.

As expected, this internal letter was transferred to the Internet outside the company network.

At the same time, various photos of beautiful CEO Bai Xiaolu were posted on the Internet.

Among them, on Weibo.

Zhang Hanyun, who already has 100 million fans, posted a photo: "Bai Xiaolu, I'll write down the grudge you made for pinching my face in my notebook, hum!"

The photo was taken by another photographer. Bai Xiaolu pinched Hanyun's face.

As soon as this photo was posted.

"Aren't you going to take Bai Xiaolu as your adoptive mother?"

"Cute! Mr. Bai, my face is also soft, pinch it!"

"It's confirmed, Zhang Yunhan's identity as the little princess on Weibo."

"Cute! I want to pinch you too."

This Weibo picture alone has received more than one million reposts and comments.Zhang Hanyun’s fans also exceeded the 150 million mark.

It seems that among the top Vs on Weibo, the super female voice occupies an absolutely dominant position.

For example, Zhang Hanyun has 150 million fans.

Li Yuchun has 110 million fans, Jane Zhang has 60 fans, and Zhou Bichang has 70 fans.Some other Super Girls basically have tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of fans.

Generally speaking, just looking at the current number of fans, in fact, we have a rough idea of ​​the final ranking of the 05 Super Girl.

Chapter 446 "Rebirth" is finished

Early August. The crew of "Rebirth Ten Years Ago" has finished filming, and the shooting lasted less than a month.

Zhao Han was not surprised by this. Hong Kong films are world-famous for their efficiency in filming.

At its peak, Hong Kong films produced hundreds of films a year, and the city's film industry output once ranked among the top three in the world.Second only to Bollywood and Hollywood, it ranks first in East Asia.

The reason for such a high output is the fast pace of Hong Kong filmmaking.

In the 70s, Hong Kong film production was seven days, that is, a movie was made in seven days.Of course, the pace of this kind of filming is too fast and the quality is not enough to meet the needs of increasingly discerning audiences.Later, the filming time gradually lengthened, but generally speaking, the rhythm of Hong Kong film shooting is settled in one or two days, and it is rare that the filming time is not completed for three months.

At the peak of Hong Kong films, well-known actors appeared in more than ten movies a year, one after another.

The pay for a single movie may not be high, but he can take on more than ten movies a year.

Nowadays, Hong Kong films produce dozens of films a year, most of which are co-productions.

Co-production movies naturally benefit the leading movie stars and directors greatly.However, for the middle and lower-level people in Hong Kong, this oil and water is not their turn.

"Boss... this is the final rough, and there will be post-production to follow." Zhong Jichang embarrassedly showed the semi-finished film to Zhao Han and other company bosses.

Zhao Han and others showed the rough cut without soundtrack and editing in the company's conference room.

"It feels okay! Basically, the essence of the rebirth novel has been captured." Zhao Han smiled, "Rebirth only has a few selling points. If you grasp some details, the rest will be easy to handle."

"Hmm!" Liu Mengcheng was also curious about the movies his company invested in and asked, "We have made a movie about "Rebirth", can we make martial arts movies in the future?"

"You'd better wait for your "In the Snow" for now, or you won't shoot it. If you do, it must be a blockbuster." Zhao Han said, "If you think "House of Flying Daggers" is bad, it must be better than "House of Flying Daggers" That's fine. If it's going to be filmed, I personally think it should be Tsui Hark at least."

"Will Tsui Hark really be able to film in the future?" Liu Mengcheng was looking forward to it.

"Go for it!" Zhao Han smiled, "Within three years, the company will not make a blockbuster with more than 1 million yuan. And if "In the Snow" is a movie, 1 million yuan is the minimum. Otherwise, it is better not to make it."

With the development of martial arts movies to this day, it can no longer satisfy the audience by just perfunctory and improvising.

Whether it is action design, special effects, music or other details, there must be better innovation and polishing.

As long as there are shortcomings, it will definitely turn into a bad movie.

Great directors like Zhang Yimou and Chen Kaige continue to make bad films because they always have shortcomings.Advantages and disadvantages coexist, and if you focus on the disadvantages, you will feel that it is a bad movie.

Zhang Yimou is generally a little better than Chen Kaige, but there is no doubt that he has not been able to make up for his shortcomings. If someone can make up for the various shortcomings, Zhang Yimou can make good use of his strengths. A truly good movie.

In fact, Tsui Hark also has flaws, and it is difficult for his works to be perfect.

However, compared to Zhang Yimou and others, Tsui Hark's ability to control martial arts, mythology and other themes is indeed better than Zhang Yimou and others.

More importantly, Tsui Hark can hide his shortcomings and prevent them from being fully exposed as much as possible.

In a sense, Tsui Hark has a better self-awareness than Zhang Yimou and Chen Kaige.Directors such as Zhang Yimou and Chen Kaige may have lost themselves in the flattery and find it difficult to reflect on themselves.

And Tsui Hark has always been a commercial director. If the box office collapses, it will lead to the collapse of his reputation in the eyes of investors. It is under this kind of pressure that Tsui Hark has to work hard later if a movie fails at the box office. Earn it back and prevent your reputation from being rotten in the investor circle.

"Boss, if you invite Tsui Hark, I can try to invite him then." Zhong Jichang thought this was an opportunity.

Naturally, we can’t let him come when filming a blockbuster movie.But if he could be named on a staff list in a Tsui Hark-directed blockbuster, his status in the world would probably be very different.

Zhao Han smiled and said: "Okay! However, I hope that you can continue to accumulate filmmaking experience step by step and grow into a great director!"

"I will work hard and will not let down the boss's expectations!" Before Zhong Jichang, he had no idea about Zhao Han's wealth in the Internet industry.

However, it seems that while the movie was still in production, Zhao Han's Weibo and online entertainment videos received US$6000 million and US$3000 million in venture capital respectively, which directly shocked him!

The valuations of the two companies are: one is valued at US$3 million, and the other is valued at US$1 million!

How can there be money in the entertainment industry like the Internet!

I realized that Zhao Han could make real money by selling PPT.

It has become increasingly obvious that Zhong Jichang and other film and television practitioners in the Hong Kong circle want to hold on tight.

……

After the movie is finished.

Mai Xiaoling, Zhong Jichang and other film directors and photographers came to the capital.

On the one hand, we are looking for cooperation with China Film Group for film editing and post-production.

In addition, mainland releases need to be submitted for review before they can be qualified for release.

"Rebirth Ten Years Ago" goes back in time under the guise of a science fiction movie.There are some themes similar to returning to the past at home and abroad, but the selling point of the web novel routine of the rebirth flow is new.

The post-production of the film takes about ten days to complete.

Mainly China Film Group, which owns the entire post-production industry chain, including editing, and even dubbing and soundtrack.

The investment in the film itself is 200 million yuan.Post-production cost a total of 70 yuan.However, China Film Group did not receive cash. Instead, it was regarded as an investment and counted as 30% of the movie's box office share rights.

Then, when the film was submitted for review, which was almost in post-production, the film reviewers were invited to review the film content efficiently.

"Mr. Mai, your company's movies should be released at the end of August!" Han Sanping suggested. "Jackie Chan's "Myth" will be released at the end of September. During the National Day period, low-cost movies cannot be scheduled."

"Okay!" Mai Xiaoling nodded and said, "I hope our first movie with China Film Co., Ltd. will be a hit!"

"Of course, I also hope to sell well. In this case, it will open up new themes for domestic films." Han Sanping smiled.

Net Entertainment Video Technology Co., Ltd. plans to move its domestic office headquarters to Haidian District in Beijing because of market distribution needs for copyright business and some film and television investments.

Beijing has concentrated a large number of domestic film and television industry resources. Two of the three major film and television drama schools, including Nortel and China Theater Academy, are located in Beijing.

China Film, Huayi, Enlight, Wanda Film, and CCTV, the most influential TV station in the country.

The headquarters is established in Beijing for better business cooperation.

Of course, online entertainment video companies will also set up local branches in Shanghai, Hengdian, Gangcheng and other areas.

Chapter 447 "Rebirth" Premiere

End of July 2005.

Super Girl is in its final sprint. At the end of the summer vacation, the ratings have also reached their peak. During the highest time period, more than 4000 million TV sets were watching Super Girl on Mango Channel at the same time.

Super Girl's claim that 4 million people watched it may be a bit exaggerated, but 1 million people watched it, so there should be nothing wrong with it.

All the advertisements placed during the Super Girl period were astonishingly effective.

Weibo also rode this wave of traffic, with registered users reaching 1700 million, daily IP visits reaching a maximum of 1300 million, and daily PV reaching a maximum of 4 million.

At the end of summer vacation, Weibo reached the top.It surpassed Sina and became the WEB website with the largest Chinese Internet traffic.

Venture capital SoftBank SAIF and IDG Capital, which invested in Weibo, both felt that they had lost money!

At the same time, "Rebirth Ten Years Ago", a joint producer of Net Entertainment Video and China Film Group, also officially entered the domestic cinema market on August 8, premiering in 28 cinemas in Beijing.

Mai Xiaoling led the crew and went to the capital to participate in the on-site publicity work.The media present were stunned because the director was unknown and none of the actors were well-known.

"The movie "Rebirth Ten Years Ago" is a challenge for me. Although I have been in the film and television industry for more than 20 years, I started to create some works as a screenwriter very early on.

There are a bunch of bad movies, but there are also some good movies that people have participated in creating.As for being a director, this is my second time.

The last movie "Headline" was very average at the box office. I reflected deeply and felt that I should make a movie with a theme that the audience would like. "

Zhong Jichang said a little nervously, ""Rebirth Back to Ten Years Ago" is adapted from the online novel "Rebirth of a Childhood Sweetheart and How to Choose the Girl Next Door". It is an innovative theme among the more fashionable online novels.

Frankly speaking, I didn’t understand online writing at first. Later, in order to make a movie, our crew continued to read the original novel every day and study the story over and over again.And on the Internet, I understood the selling points of rebirth novels and the psychology of readers.

Then we dared to make movies.

If the movie is a hit, the credit goes to the authors of the rebirth stream of online literature and readers who like this genre.

If the movie flops, blame me for not filming it well! "

These words seemed very modest and made many reporters present feel a sense of novelty.

Well, this is also the company's newly polished character for Zhong Jichang, which is to cater to netizens, cater to the market, be humble, keep a low-key attitude, and lick the audience's character, which is actually a very rare track.

"Director Zhong, your movie doesn't include any familiar stars?" asked a reporter from the media present.

“Stars, their pay is expensive!

A low-level director like me has a limited budget for filming. If we hire a slightly famous actor, our budget won't be enough.

Therefore, we do not have any stars, and even the filming location is not in Hong Kong City, but in the parent company of our investor, in a small city in the mainland. Most of our actors are part-time crew members, as well as some ordinary people in the local area. "

Zhong Jichang laughed and said, “Through the production of this film, we discovered that ordinary people can act well in movies, and as long as they cooperate with our crew behind the scenes, everyone can act.

I was personally surprised by the final result.

All of this was filmed by amateur actors with absolutely no acting skills, and the effect is not inferior to those of professional actors! "

After this formal interview, some less well-known media released some press releases.

The news is reproduced on the portal website, but it is basically drowned in a pile of press releases.

……

However, social media sites are abuzz, and the reason is Zuo Xiaowen.

"The title of the movie "Rebirth Ten Years Ago" sounds quite innovative. The heroine Zuo Xiaowen in it always looks familiar."

"The tea girl?"

"Yes, yes, I was deceived into buying their tea. The tea was okay, but I bought it with a poverty alleviation mentality in the early days. Gradually, I realized that she might be richer than me, so I felt that I lacked the kind of tea that I bought at the beginning. The original intention of tea.”

"When people sell tea, they are indeed harvested from very poor rural areas. The quality is good enough. In a sense, it can be regarded as poverty alleviation."

"Miss Zuo Xiaowen, why do I think she has the makings of a star?"

""Rebirth"-themed online article, first movie!"

"I'm not convinced. Why didn't the originator of rebirth, "Rebirth 1990, the Age of Literature and Art", make a movie? Let's adapt it into a movie first."

"Rebirth goes back to ten years ago. The original work is also well-known. "How to choose between childhood sweethearts and the girl next door" is also a relatively famous rebirth-themed novel on Jingjing Reading.com.

The original author, Pu San Cheng God, has probably realized his dream of becoming a God now. The electronic version of the novel is said to have exceeded 5000 orders, and has been published in both simplified and traditional Chinese.Now the movie is also shot! "

“Jingjingdu.com is awesome!”

"It should be said that the parent company of Jingjing Reading Network is awesome. Weibo is owned by Wenwen Jingjing Technology Company, the parent company of Jingjing Reading Network."

On the day the movie was released, the topic of the movie "Rebirth Ten Years Ago" on Weibo jumped to the top ten topics due to intentional or unintentional traffic on the website.

Most of the hot topics in the past are still Super Girl. In the environment where Super Girl's topics dominate the list, it can be ranked among the top ten hot topics, which shows its popularity.

On August 8 alone, there were probably more than 28 Weibo users participating in the discussion on the topic "Rebirth Back to Ten Years Ago". Articles on various topics had a total of more than 50 million clicks.

Invisibly, it is not inferior to the publicity efforts of some blockbusters.
