Rebirth of the Wild Age

"What's the point of playing this stuff? Just smash a ball with a stick."

This was the first sentence Jiang Wen said after coming to the golf course. Then, he stayed at the Tomson Golf Club Hotel for three days and asked Song Weiyang to play golf every morning when he got up.

If Song Weiyang did not appear, Jiang Wen would be forcibly dragged to play golf by a friend in a year or two. Since then, the shot was unacceptable, and even in the filming of "When the Sun Also Rises" in 2007, I carried golf clubs with me in the crew, used the gaps in the filming to play two shots, and often picked up pebbles to practice his swing.

The circle summarizes the three characteristics of Jiang Wen's golfing: playing on any venue, any time, and everything.

"Come on, Jiang, let me introduce to you," Song Weiyang smiled with his cue, "This is Lao Zhang, Zhang Chaoyang, the CEO of Sohu."

Zhang Chaoyang took the initiative to shake hands: "Hello Director Jiang, I am your fan."

"Haha, you are polite," Jiang Wen smiled, "Sohu boss, I know, I went to Mount Everest last year."

"That's a show, in order to promote Sohu Mobile SMS." Zhang Chaoyang also smiled.

Jiang Wen's words actually conceal mystery, even with a little bit of irony. The first time he heard about Zhang Chaoyang's name, he was actually chatting with a few friends in the Beijing circle. Everyone said that Zhang Chaoyang was a good-for-profit boy. Since about last year, Zhang Chaoyang has frequently visited entertainment venues in the capital. Lama Temple cash cabinets and workers will fly... everywhere, Zhang Chaoyang’s footprints have been left, playing and talking about business, and every time the consumption is scary.

There are often entertainment stars in those places, and Zhang Chaoyang is also enthusiastic about making friends, and from time to time he takes the initiative to pay for people.

People often say that Zhang Chaoyang stepped into the entertainment circle half-footed, but in fact, more often than not, people in the entertainment circle regard him as a triumphant. The reporter once interviewed La Yin and asked her to comment on Zhang Chaoyang. The actress replied: "He is a good person."

You see, not only the IT industry evaluates Zhang Chaoyang as a good person, but the entertainment industry also evaluates Zhang Chaoyang as a good person.

In another time and space, after Sina launched Weibo, Sohu also launched Weibo. Even if he lost the opportunity, Zhang Chaoyang invited more than 200 celebrities or celebrities to settle in instantly based on his personal relationship. These celebrities are all friends that Zhang Chaoyang has made for many years. Even Jiang Wen in front of him will make friends with Zhang Chaoyang. The official website of the movie "The Sun Also Rises" is on Sohu.

With so many celebrity resources, it stands to reason that Sohu Video should be very good, but it is a pity that the product operation is too poor!

Shen Nanpeng is also playing together today. This guy seems to be at ease, but he is actually ready to make big moves. Next year, he will cooperate with Sequoia Capital to jointly create "Sequoia China". The companies he has successfully invested in include: 360, Rural Development, Jingdong, Vipshop, Meituan, Dianping, Tuniu, Lv Mama, Gaode , Lefeng.com, Jumeiyoupin...

"Hey, this ball played well!" Shen Nanpeng praised.

Jiang Wen smiled and said, "Good luck, good luck."

Zhang Chaoyang asked: "When does Director Jiang plan to make a new film?"

"We already have a preliminary concept, and we are building scripts for investment." Jiang Wen said.

Song Weiyang joked: "Lao Zhang is a rich man. If he doesn't invest enough, he will be asked to throw money."

Zhang Chaoyang quickly said: "In front of the boss, what a rich man am I? You should vote if you want to vote."

"Tell me, what film." Song Weiyang said.

Jiang Wen said: "This is a movie that reflects a special era, but in order to pass the trial, it will be very obscure. Now I do not have a clear story line, only a few sets of pictures, I will tell you: the sky is pure and pure. The blue, the grass and trees are oily green, the soil is raw red, without any gray tones..."

Song Weiyang, Shen Nanpeng, and Zhang Chaoyang are all a little dazed. This Nima has only a few pictures, so are you planning to make a movie? It sounds like a prose poem.

But "The Sun Also Rises" is really such an established project. Some time ago Jiang Wen met a leader of the cultural department. The leader asked: "Director Jiang, why don't you shoot anything?" Jiang Wen asked back: "You allow me to shoot. "The leader laughed and said: "Who said that you wouldn't be allowed to shoot? Who can stop you Jiang Wen from making a movie?"

Jiang Wen was immediately ecstatic, because he has been in a state of being "banned from shooting" since "The Devil Is Coming". However, it is impossible to download a document to ban filming. Most of it was a sentence from a certain leader, so Jiang Wen couldn't make the film. Now it's another joke, but it's tantamount to letting out the wind: Jiang Wen has been lifted!

The inside story is very subtle, and it's not just a matter of one sentence.

Soon, Jiang Wen took her queen team to her home for dinner and alcohol. Between half drunk and half awake, he told four stories, the plot is very simple, but the picture is full, and then asked the queen screenwriter to write the script for him.

"I'll invest 3 million yuan." Song Weiyang said with a smile, Quandang was a personal emotional investment, and he didn't even think about making money.

You have to refer to the movie reviews and watch it over and over again to understand the ragged thing of "The Sun Also Rises". It will only make the audience confused in the movie theater. Even if the story is fully understood, it is difficult to resonate with the director, and at most I have an idea of ​​a really awesome filming.

Jiang Wen even took his father and mother to watch the movie. After watching the movie, his mother didn't speak. Jiang Wen asked, "Did you not understand?" My mother said, "What? I won't understand you." The liar?" So my mother straightened the storyline, Jiang Wen listened and said: "That's okay, that's what I shot." My mother said again, "No, I understand the story, but what do you want to express? Ah? Where is the theme idea?" Jiang Wen was anxious: "The theme idea is there, and the sun will rise as usual!"

My father said to Jiang Wen, "Son, you want to make wine. I'll take a look. Some parts are a bit like alcohol. Next time you have a lower degree, get a beer, twelve or three degrees, I'm afraid it will be better."

To put it bluntly, the personal feelings were too hard, and I was moved by myself, and the audience couldn't get the director's point at all.

Also who likes to release himself is Director Chen, the main creator of "Farewell My Concubine", and a strong producer. Director Chen can only hold back when making the film, so he created a classic Chinese film. Once there is no restraint from the producer and other creators, Director Chen will travel the sky in his mind completely, and the eight horses will not be able to pull back.

"Thanks, I'll accept the 3 million." Jiang Wen is not polite. He makes movies like Han Xin's soldiers, and the more funds are the better.

Take "The Sun Also Rises", the crew brought hundreds of birds and beasts, and Jiang Wen personally cut and dyed them. More than 300 square meters of Tibetan houses, dozens of tons of pebbles and red clay, and 13 carriages from eight cities were all transported thousands of miles to the location. This is how the shooting expenses were spent.

For a literary and artistic film that started shooting in 2005, the production cost gave you a total of 60 million yuan. This is still the pure production cost that does not include the promotional fee. Is it a bit too sophisticated?

Song Weiyang gave out 3 million and finally came to the topic: "Old Jiang, what is the current price of the online copyright of domestic film and television dramas?"

"What is Internet copyright?" Jiang Wen asked rhetorically.

Song Weiyang explained: “Sohu just created a video website ~ www.wuxiamtl.com~ Netizens can watch videos online. I want to buy the online copyrights of some movies and TV shows and put them on Sohu Video for everyone to watch.”

Jiang Wen put down his club, scratched his head and said, "Just give three to five thousand. I don't know about others. My movie can help you contact the production company. You can give 5,000 yuan for each film."

"So cheap?" Song Weiyang was slightly surprised.

"Hey, it's all for nothing. How expensive can it be sold?" Jiang Wen said with a smile, "China is full of pirated CDs. The film and television dramas that have been broadcasted, the production company can't make a cent. Let me tell you Say ah, if you are really optimistic about this thing, you can go directly to a large company like China Film and buy a copyright package for a few thousand dollars. If you buy dozens of hundreds of films, the film and television company can make millions. They Maybe how happy it is."

Song Weiyang nodded and laughed: "It's a good idea. You introduce a friend and ask him to help contact him. The more films I buy and the cheaper, the higher the labor fee I will pay him. Even cartoons are fine. What kind of gourd? Baby, Black Cat Sheriff, big-headed son and small-headed dad, we need as many as there are."

"This is a trivial matter, wrap it around me!" Jiang Wen said, patting his chest.

Right now, the copyright is useless, because the video website belongs to the blank area of ​​supervision. As long as you don't make professional news videos, no one will take care of it. If anything goes wrong, you can delete the video directly. However, by around 2008, the copyright storm will start, and more than 90% of domestic video sites will die suddenly, and the rest will become lifeless and deteriorating.

Only LeEco is a wonderful flower, and it has been copyrighted in advance and soaring into the sky in the copyright storm.

If Sohu Video now hoards copyrights, all competitors will have to eat shit, and even "Gourd Baby" will not even be broadcast to Lao Tzu!
