Chapter 421: Early Entry, Big Dog Owner

Tudou already had a basic market, and with sufficient financial support, it has quickly returned to the top three in the industry.

When Wang Wei met Lin Nan, Wang Changtian and others, he was no longer the decadent, discouraged, tired, helpless, and dying in the past year or so.

Today's Wang Wei gives people a feeling of high spirits and full of vigor.

In a trance, Lin Nan remembered the scene when he first met Wang Wei. The latter was calm, confident and full of fighting spirit, exactly the same as now.

"Now Tudou is back on track. Just keep this pace. I am confident that sooner or later I will be the first in the country."

This is easy to say, but it is inseparable from the support of a lot of funds and resources. Fortunately, Lin Nan and his three companies are not short of these.

Wang Changtian is also very satisfied with the current situation. If it continues to develop like this, Tudou will definitely be a large listed company in the future.

Lin Nan put down the teacup in his hand. He still has something to say today.

"What do you think of Apple's smartphone?"

Not only Wang Wei, but also Wang Changtian and others beside him were stunned. How did they get to the point of smartphones?

"A groundbreaking product, incredible. In their industry, all major manufacturers are scrambling to imitate..."

Wang Wei nodded and commented objectively.

"It's almost time. Tudou must enter the market in advance."

"What?"

"Video software for mobile phones."

Lin Nan looked at Wang Wei, then looked around at Wang Changtian and others, and said seriously.

"Everyone should be able to foresee the speed of smartphone popularization.

It's okay for 3G networks at present, but 4G in the future will no longer be limited to regional networks. Smartphones can do too many things, such as watching dramas, movies, and competitions...

So, Tudou needs to act in advance and get as much market share as possible on the mobile side."

Looking at Wang Wei frowning and thinking, Lin Nan knew that he didn't pay much attention to this.

"But Youku and the others haven't made any moves..."

"That's why we have to act in advance. The first mobile video software on the market is loud enough and will be deeply rooted in people's hearts.

Even if the first software is slightly insufficient, the first is the first. Market share is the key. Tudou can slowly improve it later..."

Lin Nan interrupted Wang Wei with an unquestionable tone.

In Lin Nan's view, the earlier you enter the market, the lower the cost, and the gains will definitely be huge.

The people present all looked at Lin Nan. It was rare to see him attach so much importance to and emphasize one thing.

"It sounds good, then... let's do it!"

The people from Wanda drank a sip of tea and directly spoke in support. Wang Changtian nodded to second the motion.

Wang Wei was also the one who founded Tudou, and he had no lack of foresight.

After thinking for a moment, he made a plan:

"This kind of thing involves a lot of gambling. But since all of you major shareholders have spoken, I will set up a new department as soon as I go back and start doing this..."

…………

The production companies were not happy for a few days before they were hit by "Avengers" again.

The first day's box office of 64 million made movies like "The Man" feel suffocated again.

This time, "The Book to My Wife", "The Chaser", "Over the Old Man's Home" and other movies were also sanctioned, and they were desperate.

"In half a month, the box office was 150 million. After the split, the capital was recovered, and a small profit of 10 million was made."

Ning Hao's tone was relaxed on the phone. The box office split for the next half a month or so was all pure profit.

"Very good, people in the circle say that Director Ning Hao is a hero of "anti-wood", haha...

In addition, you didn't participate in the Capital International Film Festival a while ago. Are you going to Cannes?"

Lin Nan joked and asked.

"I plan to learn from Director Lin and participate in the Cannes Film Festival to try to sell it at a good price."

"Okay, meet there then."

…………

Lin Nan noticed "Shadow Lover" starring Jing Tian and Zhang Baizhi, which was shot a long time ago.

During the promotion some time ago, it seems that the film producers also pushed Jing Tian, ​​the second female lead, to the front to take advantage of the popularity of "Pacific Rim".

But the plot of the movie is really a bit stupid, and the audience doesn't buy it at all. The box office of more than one million on the first day also explains everything.

Jing Tian stayed in the crew and did not cooperate with the promotion.

That "Special Identity" has not yet been completed, and "One Man's Martial Arts" has just started shooting in Hong Kong Island.

The Hong Kong media has finally found something to do, and every day they are secretly filming, making up stories and dragging down.

There are endless reports that the crew of "One Man's Martial Arts" filmed casually and unprofessionally, and violently drove and pushed reporters away, had no quality, and cursed people... Such reports are endless.

On the other hand, the reports on "Special Identity" are completely different. The Hong Kong crew is professional and tacit, the fighting scenes are punching and clean, and the actors are dedicated and their acting skills are online...

When Lin Nan saw these news online, there were already a lot of replies and comments below, all of which scolded the Hong Kong media.

A blurry secretly taken photo of the crew can actually be written into a negative report with hundreds or thousands of words. It is no longer a fabrication, but a malicious smear!

Lin Nan called Yue Jun:

"Go and tell Ying Huang that those media can sue one by one. We don't lack this little money and time..."

"I know, Director Lin. I will tell Huo Wenxi later. In fact, Ying Huang has also warned several times..."

After hanging up the phone, an idea suddenly popped up in Lin Nan's mind.

"How about we pay attention to "Special Identity" when we decide on the schedule later?"

Then Lin Nan smiled and shook his head again, feeling that something was a bit funny.

The other party's movie hasn't been finished yet, so let's talk about it later.

Ying Huang was very efficient. The next day, he saw news on the Internet that several Hong Kong media outlets had been accused of malicious slander and rumors.

Many Hong Kong filmmakers denounced Ying-Huang's behavior as making too much of a fuss. Yang Shoucheng, on the other hand, ignored these people completely and let them bark as they pleased.

…………

Everyone knows that the summer season is good, so everyone jumps into it head-on.

Chen Kaige's "Search" and "Wu-Tang" are both scheduled to be released on July 6th.

There is definitely not much direct conflict between the two movies and Lin Nan's "Genius Gunman", but there is a direct confrontation between the two movies and "The Four Famous Catchers".

"I'm going to Cannes in a few days. Do you want to come with me?"

Lin Nan asked softly while looking at Liu Yifei who had returned from participating in a charity event.

Miss Liu knew that Lin Nan wanted to finalize the copyright during the film festival. She shook her head tiredly:

"I can't leave. There are two commercials to be shot in those days, and there are also announcements..."

"That's okay."

Lin Nan saw today's entertainment news.

At the charity event, Liu Yifei and other actresses born in the 1980s were all present, and it was very topical.

The most interesting thing is the seating arrangement of the organizer.

Yang Mi, Liu Shishi, Tang Yan and others all sat together and did not communicate during the whole process.

Liu Yifei, on the other hand, hangs out with big shots like Zhang Ziyi, Zhou Xun, and Li Bingbing, and is greeted and chatted up by a few people or others from time to time, which is very conspicuous.

Media reports put it very directly:

"Liu Yifei is no longer in the same class as actresses of the same age. She has long been a top actress, and she is also a capital..."

Miss Liu suddenly remembered something: "Last year at Cannes, the one who presented us with the award was Teacher Shi Nansheng, right?"

Lin Nan knew what she was going to say. Last year in Cannes, Liu Yifei had a very good impression of Shi Nansheng.

Another entertainment headline in the industry today is related to Shi Nansheng.

Xu Ke, who is in his early sixties, and a young woman were secretly photographed holding each other's hands and acting intimately.

Later, the popular Zhuo Wei also spoke out and confirmed that they took a lot of photos of Director Xu Ke and this woman last year. The two of them have the kind of relationship everyone thought.

Once the news was reported, it quickly spread within the circle and online.

You know, Xu Ke and Shi Nansheng are not divorced yet, and the latter is still the producer of "The Dragon King of Shendu" which is currently being filmed!

People in the industry have long been accustomed to this situation, but the Internet is full of criticism.

After all, Xu Ke was indeed talented, but back then, Shi Nansheng was his boss.

It can be said that without the support of the woman, it would be difficult for Xu Ke to get ahead...

For a time, many male directors in the industry became the target of public criticism. Even Chen Kaige was pulled out to make trouble!

"Don't think blindly!"

Liu Yifei looked directly at Lin Nan and said harshly: "I don't know how. I just think Teacher Shi Nansheng lives a free and easy life..."

"You still said you weren't imagining things? Don't worry, I hanged myself from a tree!"

"You said I'm wood?"

Lin Nan was petrified. What kind of brain circuit is this?

It wasn't until he saw the playful smile on Liu Yifei's lips the next second that Lin Nan realized that he had been teased by Miss Liu! Today she is not stupid, she is shrewd.

…………

3D movies have become a hot topic in the film and television industry.

Teacher Six came out to speak again, calling for the construction of a "Journey to the West" theme park. Frankly speaking, China can go to great lengths to build Disneyland, so why is it unwilling to build a theme park for "Journey to the West"?

"Next month, I will go to Hollywood to meet with heavyweight filmmakers and invite Hollywood groups to develop the script of "Journey to the West."

I will contact Cameron, Spielberg and other great directors to invite them to direct the 3D version of "Journey to the West" movie... I will definitely play the role of Monkey King again! "

When hearing this before, everyone would just sigh and admire Teacher Six.

But now that he heard this, Lin Nan felt that Teacher Six was too utilitarian.

Don’t theme parks cost money? Who pays? Is it free to make 3D movies? Who comes out?

Teacher Six never talks about these objective things, he only shouts slogans!

Perhaps the most important and core of his impassioned remarks is the last sentence: "I will definitely play the role of Sun Wukong again!"

Lin Nan discovered a problem. Teacher Six seemed to be able to step into hot spots in the film and television industry every time, and then get involved with "Journey to the West" and come out to show off.

…………

"Big dog owner!"

It is estimated that the entire domestic film industry is scolding these three words, and the media are all reporting frantically.

It seems that the domestic film industry is completely going abroad and going global!

"Wanda spent a huge amount of US$3.1 billion to acquire the North American AMC Cinema Group and assume all its debts."

"... Among them, 100% of 2C's shares and $500 million are new operating funds."

…

This kind of generosity shocked the industry!

"Director Lin, in the future, you can contact us for the filming and scheduling of movies in the North American market, hahaha..."

Lin Nan admitted that he was a little sore, but this was indeed a good thing. At the very least, Wanda is his ally and partner!

But Lin Nan wouldn't really take these words to heart. If you take it seriously, you will fall behind.

"Mr. Ye, congratulations to Wanda." Lin Nan congratulated her over the phone.

“You’re welcome, Director Lin. Haha…”
