0118 [A good card]
At 12:00 p.m. on November 19, 2000, Mtime Time Network went online in a low-key manner, just creating an advertisement on the top of the homepage on the novel website.
In this silver era of online literature, L's sky unified the world with a dominant attitude. Novel website, whether it is resources or popularity, cannot compete with L's sky, and can only stay in a corner. However, from the beginning, Novel website insisted on being itself and an original reading base.
It also slowly gathered a large number of novel authors and readers, and the traffic could barely reach one-third of the sky of L.
Wan Xiaohu actually has many classic novels in his mind, but they have not appeared yet, such as "The Ethereal Journey", "The Sun God", "The Buddha is the Tao", and "The Fighting Breaks the Sky". Once born, he will definitely carry the banner of the novel website and compete with L's sky.
However, now is not a good time to come out, and the foundation for paid reading has not yet been laid.
After two years, the paid era will arrive, Wan Xiaohu will provide creativity and organize a group of skilled writers to copy these classics one by one. He will quickly put the novel website on the right track, dominate the world, and become the largest Chinese original content provider.
When Wan Xiaohu was reborn, not many novels on Novel Network were adapted into movies and TV series, but many copyrights were bought by film companies and program production companies, and everyone was waiting for China to truly welcome the "gaochao" of domestic movies, which is the time when these novels and movie versions were released one by one.
What Wan Xiaohu wants is these contents, "The Tomb of God", "Ghost Blows Out the Light", "Fighting Breaks the Sky", and magical movies will one day become the mainstream of commercial movies.
The future is bright, and the road is tortuous.
The next day, Wan Xiaohu logged into Time Network and found that the blank space was still blank, and few people had logged in. Only under the entry of "Butterfly Effect", there were two additional ratings.
One is a netizen whose ID is registered as "Wu and Xin" and gave the movie two stars: "I haven't seen it yet, and I'm waiting for the pirated disc to come out. However, domestic science fiction is sure not funny?"
Another netizen whose ID was registered as "The Fading Maple" gave the movie five stars: "This broken website is all blank, but the movie is so beautiful. I recommend everyone to watch it... Forget it, I recommend it to ghosts, there is no one here."
"It seems that they don't know yet that this website can upload movie information by itself. I have to issue an announcement." Wan Xiaohu thought, and logged into the system background with his account.
Ten minutes later, the announcement of the red-letter title at the top of the homepage of Time.com was released.
"Warm congratulations to Mtime Time Network for its online launch. As the first professional website in China that specializes in film and television communication, Time Network is still very young and requires the work of all users. Post movie reviews and edit movie information. Everyone is the administrator of Time Network. Looking forward to your joining!"
When the announcement was made, Wan Xiaohu hung up a phone call to Zangjian Jiangnan and asked him to arrange personnel to manage the daily life of the website on his behalf. Then he left Time Network behind. Judging from today's traffic, Time Network needs to improve, it is impossible for it to be improved in less than a year and a half.
I just hung up the phone and the knock on the door rang.
"Mr. Wan." is Wang Qianqian's voice.
"Come in."
Wang Qianqian pushed the door and held a report in her hand: "Mr. Wan, this is the preliminary budget of the crew of "My Savage Girlfriend" compiled by Manager Li today. There is also this fax sent to you by Mr. Su, who was sent from Shanda Internet in the Magic City."
As employees of the former Dandelion Souvenir Store, Wang Qianqian and Li Yumin have both taken root in Dandelion Film Company. Li Yumin serves as the head of the public relations department, and Wang Qianqian is the deputy director. Of course, there are only five people in the public relations department at present. They are responsible for the reception desk, dinner arrangement, and the secretary responsibilities of the supervisors.
"Let's put it here." Wan Xiaohu nodded and suddenly thought of something, "By the way, Bona Culture came to settle the final payment for "Waiting Alone" a few days ago, right?"
"Yes."
"Okay, I get it, you go out and do things."
After Wang Qianqian closed the door, Wan Xiaohu turned the boss's chair around and touched his chin: "Now the company's books can squeeze out 5 million yuan of funds. By the end of the month, the account can be divided from the box office of "Butterfly Effect". Calculated at 50 million yuan, 35% of the producer and distributor will receive a commission, and then get a 20% share, which will be about 3.5 million."
"There will be 8.5 million yuan this way. Apart from the company's normal maintenance funds and the production funds of "My Savage Girlfriend", there is not much left. I made two good movies, but I still feel that the money is not enough. Now I'll see the profitability of "Legend of Blood".
To sigh, Wan Xiaohu picked up Li Xia’s crew budget.
"My Savage Girlfriend" is a small-budget movie. There are only two main actors, the male and female protagonists, and none of the remaining actors need to appear for more than 10 minutes.
The heroine Jun Ji-hyun has a very low contract fee of only 200,000 yuan. After all, she is just a newcomer. Xia Yu is just a well-known newcomer, and her pay will not exceed 200,000 yuan. The pay for all roles of all sizes will not exceed 800,000 yuan.
The salary of the crew is even cheaper. The 6 million Wan Xiaohu originally booked, under Li Xia's careful calculation, can be handled with 4 million. The distribution, whether it is handed over to Huayi Brothers or Bona Culture, does not need Dandelion to worry about.
With Wan Xiaohu's current reputation, it can be compared with Feng Xiaogang's achievements in commercial films. There are a lot of people who want to release his movies.
"This movie is simple to shoot. If it starts in December, it can be finished even if it is not even the New Year." Wan Xiaohu raised his hand and calculated that New Year's Eve is January 23rd, and it will take nearly two months to shoot. If you hurry up a little, you can finish it.
After reading the budget, Wan Xiaohu felt confident and picked up the fax sent by Shanda Network again.
Fax is very simple.
The number of online users in "Legend of Blood" has exceeded 300,000, and it is expected that by the end of the month, it will reach 400,000 at the same time. Moreover, the point cards sold by Internet cafes are now very popular, and all the previous investment can be recovered by the end of the month.
With the message from the previous trajectory, Wan Xiaohu was not much surprised by this result.
Chen Tianqiao sent this fax mainly to increase his confidence in Wan Xiaohu. He is planning to expand the scale of the game, which means that by the end of this year, there is no way to share the accounts.
Wan Xiaohu was a little depressed after reading this fax.
He doesn't care how much money he makes in the game field, but he wants to build his own entertainment territory. Now is the era of laying the foundation quickly. Novels, Times, film companies, artist agency companies, TV series companies, and program production companies all need to unfold their stalls in a timely manner.
But every time a stall is opened, there is a lot of money.
How could he make so much money?
There are indeed many opportunities for making money in Chinese stocks now, but don’t forget that China has just entered a market economy. The country is secretly manipulating stocks. Many people on it are staring at this piece of fat. If you want to make a fortune by trading stocks, except for someone above you, there will be no good results.
"Legend of Hot Blood" is the best way to make money he knows, openly and without risk.
He just treats this game as an ATM.
But Chen Tianqiao's idea is right. Now is a good time to expand the scale of the game, and Wan Xiaohu can't find a reason to ask for money.
"Money, money, why am I always short of money? When will I buy you back with my Mercedes-Benz Audi? My TV program production company, my artist agency, when will I open you? There are so many projects on the Internet, I am jealous! Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Facing the sky outside the glass wall, Wan Xiaohu wanted to shout.
He is now full of confidence, but time is not waiting for anyone, and good things are decreasing day by day!
"It's useless to think too much. Take it step by step, do things down-to-earth, and do whatever you can. There has never been a fat man in the world, and I can't be too stubborn and greedy."
Wan Xiaohu exhaled. He was not an insufficiency. God gave him a chance to do it again and could change his destiny. He had thanked him so much. The rest was to live well for his family and dreams.
...
Time passes like a flash of time, and blinks, you can see the passing of time like flowing water.
The locations of the crew of "My Savage Girlfriend" have been taken out.
The crew members were also in place one by one, and the actors were almost in touch, leaving only one male lead, and they were still in negotiations. Wan Xiaohu liked Xia Yu to play the male lead, but he also proposed an attached condition, which was to sign an agent with Xia Yu.
Xia Yu has great potential. He was born as a child star. As the youngest actor in the Venice Film Festival, it can be said that as long as he builds it well, his future star journey will definitely not stop in China. Wan Xiaohu has the confidence to push Xia Yu onto the international stage.
However, the negotiations did not go very well. Xia Yu had no interest in signing the Dandelion, and his family did not agree with him signing the Dandelion.
For their reasons, Dandelion Company is too small, there is no professional brokerage company, nor a professional broker team. Even the two bosses of the company, Su Ya, and Wan Xiaohu, are 20 years old. They are too young and lack trust.
"Li Xia, didn't Xia Yu agree yet?" As the end of the month was approaching, Wan Xiaohu had already notified the South Korean side and asked Jun Ji-hyun to prepare to come to China. Wan Xiaohu was a little unhappy even before he could get the male lead. He called Li Xia repeatedly.
"Xia Yu's father firmly disagrees, and Xia Yu listens to his father again, it's hard to deal with it."
"If you have any questions, our regular company will cheat him!"
"Tiger, don't you talk about the male lead if you sign a contract?"
Wan Xiaohu said to the phone: "In the past, we had no foundation, so it doesn't matter if we were invited to invite celebrities to make movies. Now we have the direction to run the agency business. Every time we make a movie, it is a great opportunity, especially the male and female protagonists. It's not that our own people are at a disadvantage. You can do this, and I will persuade you again. If Xia Yu doesn't agree, let's find the male protagonist again."
"All right."
After hanging up the phone, Wan Xiaohu hugged his chest and fell into deep thought.
Xia Yu's card is a good card, but since others don't want it, will Wan Xiaohu still stick his face to other people's cold butts? There are not many people in China, but there are many people. Finding a star worthy of praise is not difficult for Wan Xiaohu.
"Think about it now, there are actually many people who can choose from the male protagonist..."
