Postscript 6 The Silly Son of the Landlord's Family(1/2)
study.
Song Weiyang is answering a video call from his son.
Chen Xi should be in the military camp Internet cafe, wearing training uniforms. He said happily: "Dad, this time we participated in flood control and rescue, our company was awarded the second-class collective merit. When the leader of the regiment came to inspect, he talked to me specifically and asked me if I wanted to stay in the army after my service period was over."
"You did a good job this time, you are a good soldier, keep working hard," Song Weiyang praised, saying, "As for whether to stay in the army, what do you think?"
Chen Xi smiled and said, "I have been in the army for less than a year and a half, and it is still early to be transferred to a non-commissioned officer."
Song Weiyang asked: "You need long-term planning in life. What do you plan to do after you leave the army?"
Chen Xi thought for a while and said, "I think it's quite interesting to be a soldier. I want to stay in the army. But I don't want the conscript to be transferred to a non-commissioned officer, and the development prospects are limited. I plan to take the military academy. I specifically asked the company commander, and he said that taking the military academy in the army requires high school and equivalent education, but I took a leave of absence in the second year of high school, which does not meet the standards for applying for a military academy."
Song Weiyang said: "If you really want to develop in this direction, then you will wait until you leave the army and pass the national college entrance examination to enter the military academy."
Chen Xi scratched his head and said, "Time is a bit tight. After the college entrance examination, the candidates must not be over 20 years old."
In China, you can join the army at the age of 16, but before December 31 of the year of joining the army, you must be at least 17 years old and just turned 16 years old when you enlist in the army.
Chen Xi is a spring soldier. He was only 16 years old when he registered. He spent his 17th birthday in the recruit company. When he was discharged from the army next year, he would be about 19 years and 3 months, and the college entrance examination time had been missed. If you want to take the college entrance examination, you must wait until the next year, that is, 20 years and 1 month, which just exceeded the age limit for fresh college entrance examination candidates to apply for military academy.
Song Weiyang calculated the time and frowned and said, "I don't know much about the specific regulations. You may be able to retire around August next year. Can you take the national general college entrance examination more than a month in advance in the army?"
Chen Xi said: "No, I asked, active-duty soldiers can only apply for military academy through the army. But I don't have a high school diploma and cannot take military academy exams in the army."
"That's that both ways to take the military academy were blocked," said Song Weiyang. "Young people must pay the price for the wrong things they did. Do you understand this now?"
Chen Xi smiled bitterly: "I understand it very thoroughly."
Song Weiyang said: "I can use many ways to help you apply for a military academy, but they are all illegal operations. You are already an internet celebrity and my son. This practice is easy to be caught by others. Even if you pass the exam, you may be brought up old accounts and talk about it one day in the future. Do you need my help to find a way?"
"No, I'm not stupid, I'm still tied a time bomb on myself," Chen Xi said with some loss. "It's not that I have to take the military academy. After retiring, I just need to take the general college entrance examination and just go to a university. Dad, I'm sorry, I used to be ignorant, which made you worry a lot with your mother."
Song Weiyang said: "Who is not young yet? It is normal to do something wrong. Just correct it. You have to be a soldier for more than half a year and work hard in the army. After you leave the army, I will find a few good teachers to help you make up for your lessons."
Although the army was a melting pot, Song Weiyang didn't throw his son in and ignored him. He entrusted a lot of relationships, so that Chen Xi was taken care of during the recruit company. He was blushing and white-faced and someone was singing at any time. After practicing to the death, he would care and talk about it. Every day, someone helped this kid reshape his views.
After the training of Chen Xi's new recruits, he was specially assigned to a hero company, surrounded by a group of top-notch soldiers. He was influenced by the collective atmosphere and now he has been transformed. He is full of passion and passion, and his mind is full of patriotism and love for the people. He is full of honor and responsibility.
After finishing the video call, Song Weiyang said to the air: "Open the door!"
The door opened automatically, Song Jingxing walked in, and asked while playing with his mobile phone: "Dad, have you approved that film and television project?"
Song Weiyang said: "I don't need to handle such specific projects at all. The project book that can be delivered to me means that your plan is too outrageous. It is difficult for Shenjian Entertainment to refuse directly. Also, putting down your phone is very disrespectful."
"If it weren't outrageous, Hollywood film companies would have done it long ago, would it be our turn to film?" Song Jingxing said with a smile.
Song Weiyang asked: "Do you know the evaluation opinions of Shenjian Entertainment on this project?"
"I don't know." Song Jingxing shook his head.
Song Weiyang said: "You said the investment budget is 350 million US dollars. According to the specific situation, this movie will lose at least 200 million US dollars. This is still the case when you do a good job in all kinds of promotions. If the promotion is weak, you may lose more."
Song Jingxing said: "I know this, but we can't just look at short-term profits. The losses in the market development period are too normal..."
Song Weiyang quickly interrupted: "Don't describe the industry prospects to me. I've been tired of hearing such words. Countless people talk nonsense to me every year."
Song Jingxing said: "This is the case. If the project loses more than $50 million, you can do whatever you want me to do in the future. I won't mention any independent development."
Song Weiyang immediately smiled: "Yes. You should go to Shenjian Entertainment to be the vice president, who is responsible for this project and instantly serves as the producer of this movie. In order to avoid you being fooled by others, I will transfer Shen Xie to be your deputy."
Song Jingxing was speechless for a moment: "That guy is hard to serve. You are causing trouble for me."
Shen Xie has long become a legendary employee. He has worked as a relatively grassroots employee in Shenzhou Technology, Xifeng Group, Taurus Capital, Shenjian Network, Sohu Sogou, Zhuoyue.com, etc., and even lived in research and development and investment departments. In the assessment of each department, Shen Xie tends to be at the bottom, but he is always eliminated by the end, so he can do it.
Gradually, Shen Xie began to be promoted to a grassroots manager, leading many companies and small teams in multiple departments. The team he led was the same as him, and he was at the bottom of all kinds, but within the tolerance of department leaders, key projects occasionally broke out once or twice.
Over the past ten years, Shen Xie's identity has been exposed, and the leaders of various companies are amused and laughed at when they mention this person.
Now Shen Xie has entered the senior management system and is very popular. Several companies want to hire him. Because this guy has a very rich resume, he has cleared all the companies from top to bottom and has developed a pair of sharp eyes. He can handle middle and low-level managers and ordinary employees at will, and he can't fool him any tricks. He is the old trick he has used.
Of course, everyone only dares to let Shen Xie be the deputy of the department. It’s very tricky to be the top leader!
Currently, Shen Xie is the deputy general manager of the HR department of the Shenzhou Science and Technology Headquarters. He assisted in completing the reforms in the entire HR system. After the reform, cadres and ordinary employees at all levels were in a complicated mood. While their working environment was more relaxed, they were blocked. The assessment and rating standards for exploiting loopholes and making tricks were particularly fair and disgusting.
Even the HR department was disgusted by the motives, because after the reform, more work was done, but specific rights were restricted.
Shen Zheng has become disgusted by people and dogs. He has to move his nest to avoid "killing" it is not enough to quell the public's anger.
As for meditation, it is now the best website CEO.
Because Zhuoyue.com has been spending money to cultivate the market for a long time, it has always been the leader in the b2c e-commerce field. Even though Alibaba has also launched the b2c business, it is always suppressed and can only dominate the b2b and c2c fields. JD.com and Pinduoduo are even more difficult, and they can only survive with the craze of e-commerce going to the countryside. These two companies have already made their brains in the township market.
Song Jingxing didn't want to deal with Chen Xie, one of the reasons was because of meditation. He was very familiar with Aunt Chen and knew him since childhood, but one day in elementary school, Aunt Chen suddenly stopped appearing, and his mother Lin Zhuoyun also refused to mention Aunt Chen.
I can also guess the reason behind it with my knees. Song Jingxing is not willing to get involved in the affairs between his elders. Because his father is too unrestrained in women, Chen Si will not talk about Chen Tao anymore, but he actually... cough cough!
Song Jingxing quickly went to Rongcheng and reported on his job at Shenjian Entertainment Company.
The Western Science and Technology Park here has been included in the Hi-Tech Zone and is the IT industry center in the Greater West. The online game industry is the most prominent, with various game studios and small companies everywhere, and even driving the nearby real estate industry.
In comparison, Zhongguancun Software Park in Beijing is even more outrageous.
The Ark Building, a landmark building on the Software Park, was almost a joke in the past few years since its completion. The dozens of floor office buildings were designed by I.M. Pei, and the usage rate was less than 30%, which became the focus point that everyone joked about Song Weiyang back then.
Until around 2014, due to the widespread application of 4G technology, related industries were in full swing. A large number of new companies were established in Zhongguancun Software Park, and many large companies set up headquarters in Beijing here. Song Weiyang's Ark Building was soon in short supply, and now that building alone can be sold at a sky-high price.
During the day, there are crowds of people and bright lights at night.
After 10 o'clock in the evening, online car-hailing and taxis are gathering there because overtime work until 10 o'clock can be reimbursed for fares. If you place an order one minute later, you may have to wait half an hour before you can get a taxi. The roadside is densely packed with people waiting for a taxi.
However, every weekend and holiday, the Ark Building and surrounding areas will become "ghost towns". Because the 996 employees disappeared collectively, they are unwilling to relax and entertain here, so the various entertainment venues in the area are magically chosen to close on holidays. Of course, there are also those who open on weekends, just like many offices on weekends, and there are always some lunatics who are keen on to fight.
Song Jingxing saw Shen Jie in Rongcheng, and they were quite harmonious with each other. One was too lazy to care about it, and the other was particularly good at ease.
Soon the project core team was formed, and Song Jing acted as the general manager of the project. The position he played in the film should be "producer". Chen Xing belonged to "producer" or "project manager", but since he had never made a movie, he found another "executive producer" (associate producer) named Yang Changqing.
The Chinese director was also called Li Hong, and the four of them gathered there to discuss the shooting plan.
Shenjian Entertainment is an affiliate of Shenjian Network. It has experience in VR production, and has participated in the production of several VR games and VR promotional videos. It often creates some CG promotional videos for games. Therefore, the technical team does not need to invite them separately, just use their own people, but the candidates for the male protagonist still need to be considered.
Forget investment, Song Weiyang's face is not worthy of this big project that is sure to lose money. He can only invest by Shenjian Entertainment, and then pull his parent company Shenjian Network to spend money together. After the shooting plan was announced, the company's stock price will most likely fall in response.
Yang Changqing is a senior producer, he said: "Young Master Song..."
Song Jingxing interrupted, "Don't call me Mr. Song, just call me Xiao Song."
"You are now the vice president of the company, so I'll call you Mr. Song," Yang Changqing said, smoking, "Mr. Song, although I have been working in production and have never done film operation work. But over the years, I have learned a little, and the prospects of our movie are worrying. From now on, you have to start promoting. Given the market popularity of VR movies, you not only have to promote the film, but also vigorously promote the VR movies like Cameron promoted the 3D screening hall back then."
Song Jingxing was so kind: "Manager Yang, please continue."
Yang Changqing continued: "Someone has done the VR screening room, but they all lost money. Now they are no longer found in the theater. But you can start with the A screening room, or call it the MR screening room. We are very lucky. The news we just received was the Hollywood remake of "Spider-Man", and the MR version of its MR version has a strong market response!"
"There is an MR version of the new version of "Spider-Man"?" Director Li Hong said in surprise. He has been busy improving the script in the past two months and has not paid attention to the news in Hollywood.
Yang Changqing said: "My friend just finished the premiere in Los Angeles. He told me the news. I guess there will be relevant reports here in China soon."
vr is called virtual reality, while ar is called augmented reality.
mr is called mixed reality, which is equivalent to a collection of vr and ar.
There is also a more fantasy cr that has been hyped for many years, but the technology has not yet been completely broken through.
The ultimate version is xr, which combines the general terms of various r, and the concept proposer wants to combine all technologies into one.
The once popular game "Pokemon", as well as adding cat ears to people during video recordings, are all used in the use of Ar technology.
The MR movie screening hall has only emerged this year. It not only uses A information projection technology, but also incorporates VR virtual technology. The overall viewing effect is equivalent to a super enhanced version of the 3D movie screening hall, allowing the entire movie scene to be integrated into the movie. Even with the so-called "4D technology", a bomb explodes in the film, and the audience can still experience the burning sensation.
The most interesting thing is the design of the MR screening hall, which is a bit like the ancient Colosseum or a modern stadium. The audience is surrounded by a movie viewing screen in the middle, and audiences from all directions can see the same content.
Although there is an MR version of the new version of "Spider-Man", unfortunately there are not many MR screening rooms and are under rapid construction. The domestic copyright of this film has been booked by China Film in advance. China Film will definitely not be screened immediately, but will promote the MR screening room in China first.
Yang Changqing probably doesn’t understand technology. She can directly play VR videos in the MR screening hall, so she doesn’t have to bother with equipment promotion.
The times create heroes, and if you want to do your career, you must follow the trend.
Song Jingxing is lucky. If he made VR movies two years in advance, it would probably be difficult to promote them to the cinema. Now he can take the MR screening room to ride.
Moreover, since there are fewer movies in Ar, VR and MR, as long as a new movie appears, the relevant screening halls will definitely rush to be released. Even without similar movies, it is possible to play 24 hours a day, because the source of films is too scarce and it must be released first. In another two years, the MR movies will appear in a large number of times.
"Manager Yang is really a talent, this news is very important!" Song Jingxing praised casually.
Yang Changqing said modestly: "I just learned the news in advance, so who is a talent? After the MR blockbuster became popular in Europe and the United States, large domestic film companies must follow up. But the investment is a bit large, and no one dares to act rashly, so they can only sit together to invest together. I guess, there will be a MR blockbuster in China at the end of next year or the Spring Festival of the following year. MR blockbuster will be a popular trend in the next few years, just like the previous 3D blockbusters. As for the VR movies we are shooting now, it will probably be niche for many years."
Song Jingxing said: "But mr movies are just an enhanced version of traditional movies, and vr movies are a different place. The immersive viewing experience is unique. As long as we do this movie well, we may lead the times and we may not necessarily lose money."
"That's right." Yang Changqing smiled, not arguing anything.
Shen Xie suddenly said: "Young Master Song, you should hype it too. Our male lead is not decided, and the heroine is Song Ruoxi. Although Song Ruoxi is famous, her box office appeal is limited. The type of film is niche. You have to increase the attention of the movie now, and it will be more convenient to promote it at that time."
Song Jingxing was too lazy to correct his name and asked, "You mean, I'll use myself to hype it?"
Shen Xie said: "It's the richest man's eldest son, and it's convenient to make a fuss. Why don't you use this kind of resource?"
Song Jingxing said: "The hype must be determined by the character design. I don't know what character design should be used."
Shen Xie said: "You have to find a professional to plan this."
Yang Changqing smiled and said, "You're the domineering CEO."
Song Jingxing thought for a while: "Let's silly son of the landlord family, the public must like it, it's very down-to-earth."
Half a month later, Yang Changqing, the local snake, invited everyone to sing in the KTV in Rongcheng. The invited actors also had the decided male and female protagonists in order to enhance the immersive viewing experience and improve the audience's sense of immersiveness, after repeated discussions, Song Ruoxi decided not to act, and all the actors were not well-known.
