Rewrite the Technological Landscape

This March, while the price of LCD screens was being cut, Shao Yibo of Dafeng Investment was frequently traveling between China and the United States. On March 19, a transaction was accelerated under the urging of both parties.

Dafeng Group and six investment banks will jointly invest 1.8 billion yuan to acquire DreamWorks, of which Dafeng Group will invest 1 billion yuan, accounting for 55% of the shares. In addition, Dafeng Group will pay another 300 million yuan in liquidated damages The distribution rights are redeemed.

At this time, DreamWorks' distribution rights have been completely handed over to Paramount. In the next few years, DreamWorks' works will have to be handed over to Paramount for distribution. If DreamWorks does not want to hand over the distribution rights to Paramount, it will have to pay 3 The liquidated damages of 100 million meters, Meng Qian directly decided to pay the money. One of the most important purposes of the acquisition of DreamWorks is to use the works of DreamWorks to further develop the overseas distribution channels of Dafeng Films. If there is no distribution right, it will be a hammer.

After the news of the acquisition came out, domestic movie fans were very excited. Many of DreamWorks' works had a good reputation in China. Last year's "Transformers" just sold well, and such a company now belongs to Huaxia.

Meng Qian asked Dafeng Films to integrate with DreamWorks as soon as possible, to sort out the talents, technology, and works, and then called Spielberg into the office, "Our company has already won the future release of DreamWorks, but "Kung Fu The publicity and distribution work of "Panda" has already started, and we finally adopted the method of cooperation and intervention to take over the follow-up work.

To my surprise, there are only 9 countries where "Kung Fu Panda" is released. "

Spielberg shrugged, "This is one of the reasons why I want to leave. Paramount's distribution capabilities and vision are just like this."

"Do you think "Kung Fu Panda" should have a bigger market?"

"Although I am not responsible for the "Kung Fu Panda" project, I am clear about the specific situation. "Kung Fu Panda" is simply a standard rice-style humorous Chinese-themed animation. From the beginning of the project, the goal of this work is the global market. But Paramount only found 9 markets for us, and the reason was that many markets were not interested in Chinese elements."

"China, the United States, Germany, France, Italy, Australia, the United Kingdom, Neon Country, Denmark." Meng Qian glanced at the country of issue and then glanced at the calendar, "It's only a few months, Mr. Spielberg Do you think "Kung Fu Panda" will be a hit?"

"I believe in this work." Spielberg is very sure.

"Okay, then I believe Mr. Spielberg, and I will ask to expand the distribution market of "Kung Fu Panda." Just after Spielberg was recruited, Meng Qian decided to respect him first, "Others are fine, we Let's go to the production center."

Spielberg followed Meng Qian to the production center again, this time with a clearer purpose, to ask Spielberg to give comments to "Xuanyuan the Great".

As soon as he arrived at the production center, Spielberg froze for a moment, "Mr. Zhang, why are you here?"

Zhang Yimou gave Spielberg a big hug, "What do you think?"

Spielberg immediately realized, "The director of "Xuanyuan Emperor" is you! I didn't expect that you and Mr. Meng didn't tell me."

"Director Zhang has been busy with the Olympics recently, and he is almost becoming a famous director." Meng Qian joked.

"That's why Mr. Meng tricked you over here." Zhang Yimou followed up with teasing, it seems that the personal relationship is really good, everyone is talking and laughing.

After exchanging pleasantries for a while, everyone started to get down to business. Meng Qian's plan is to make a movie this year. This year, "Iron Man 1", which is called "Saving Marvel", will also be released. The Marvel Universe on the movie side is about to kick off.

The reason why Dafeng Group chose the role of Emperor Xuanyuan for the first movie is actually to abide by the most basic user logic. For a work, the audience is most likely to pay attention to the main character in most cases, and then the secondary character. To have a character is like a novel with a good supporting role. If the protagonist is written as a piece of shit, there is a high probability that it will be difficult to become popular. Some people may say, but Iron Man is only a second-line character in the comics. The first-line role IPs are all sold out

Before 2008, Marvel made a living by selling copyrights, which is why after Iron Man became popular, Marvel wanted to make Iron Man a leader in the movie, all for the sake of user logic, or the most important role Make it the hottest role, or turn the hottest role into the most important role. As a normal commercial company, it is impossible to do things against user logic.

Therefore, it is definitely impossible for Dafeng Films to shoot some secondary characters first. There is absolutely no need to destroy the user logic and go against the market's maverick, and honestly found a core character in the ancient universe, Emperor Xuanyuan.

The name "Xuanyuan the Great" has also been highly recognized by Spielberg, because the preferences of Western users were considered from the very beginning when the name was chosen. After all, this movie is going to go out, and Westerners advocate individual heroism. , like titles such as heroes, heroes, emperors, gods, etc., as soon as they hear the name, they know that it is a movie about a great personal hero, which is more likely to arouse their interest in watching movies.

Therefore, in the following plot, Spielberg made certain adjustments to the content of the Western market, requiring it to be more in line with Western individual heroism and rice-style humor.

After this year, whether the ancient world on the movie side can be successfully opened depends on the success or failure of this work.

On March 24, 2008, the Yanjing Olympic torch was successfully lit in Olympia, Greece, and the torch relay ceremony officially began. Dafeng Group once again led the live broadcast to record this event.

On the same day, two young men got on the plane in New York and were about to go to China. One of them was Adam D'Angelo, the former chief technology officer of Facebook, who was called one of the smartest people in the technology circle by Fortune. one.

The other is Jesse, a mutual friend of Adam and Zuckerberg. His IQ and technology are not bad, but he is not as good as Adam Zuckerberg. He used to work at Facebook in one life, and he is in charge of Google in this life. Development work.

"Did you tell Zuckerberg that the plane was late?"

"I've said it, he said that he will take us to Huaxia's supper when we go there."

"Supper? Shanghai is indeed a big city."

"Shanghai is indeed a big city in China, but eating supper has nothing to do with big cities. Huaxia is different from us in the United States. Even small cities have supper at night."

"Really? Didn't it mean that China's law and order is very poor?"

"Zuckerberg told me that I have never been to Huaxia, so I don't know the specific situation. But I heard from him that the law and order in Huaxia seems to be okay, and it is not as terrible as the domestic propaganda. Didn't the classmates who knew Huaxia before say that Is the law and order in Huaxia very good?"

"People in Huaxia must say that China is good. Could it be that China is not good? Anyway, it's better to be careful when you go to a country like China."

It was almost early morning when the two arrived in Shanghai, and Zuckerberg drove to the airport in Shanghai to pick them up.

"This airport is not bad, it's quite grand." Jessie walked and watched the airport in Shanghai.

Adam is more concerned about food, "What shall we eat?"

"hot pot."

The two looked confused, "What the hell?"

"Chinese food."

Sitting in Zuckerberg's car and headed to the city, Jesse was surprised to see everything, "Why are there so many people on the street in the middle of the night? There are so many luxury cars, are Chinese people so rich? Adam, look at what they are wearing. What we saw on the Internet is completely different. Is this the Oriental Pearl? It is much taller than expected. Huaxia people are very enthusiastic, are you sure this is Huaxia?"

Zuckerberg has invited many friends to Huaxia as guests, and some of them were always surprised by the real appearance of Huaxia, so he has long been numb, although Jesse was a little excited, "Don't make a fool of yourself!" As if you have never seen the market, be careful to scare you to death in the next few days."

Adam, who was more calm on the side, couldn't help asking, "What's so special about the World Developers Conference of Dafeng Group? You insist on asking me to spare time to attend?"

Zuckerberg sold a pass, "When you enter the gate tomorrow, pay attention to the iconic building at the gate."

After supper, Zuckerberg took the two of them back to Hangzhou for a rest in the night car. At 8:30 the next morning, Adam and Jesse came to a small town in Hangzhou. At the gate of the town, Adam saw Zacker The landmark building mentioned by Keberg is an iron-cast weather vane, and the direction pointed by the weather vane is naturally the town in front of you, the future town.

"Gale Group, Wind Vane, Future Town, interesting." Adam showed the invitation card with a smile, and walked into the Future Town.

After walking a few steps through the door, the two were shocked by the sense of technology coming to them. Meng Qian dared to name this town as a future town, so naturally the design of the whole town deserved the word "future".

There is a main hall and five branch halls in the town. The shape of the main hall is a spaceship ready to launch, which indicates that human civilization will move from here to the vast universe.

The five branch halls correspond to the five attributes of metal, wood, water, fire and earth.

The metal clubhouse with a streamlined modern industrial design aesthetic is full of postmodernism.

The concept of green buildings with the theme of environmental protection is covered by a large number of green plants inside and outside the building.

A floating building located on a small stream, sunlight, water, and glass form a wonderful view.

The red spherical building gives people a strong visual impact.

The square and square traditional Chinese architecture has a feeling of being rooted in the soil.

The future town not only has a sense of the future, but also contains Chinese culture in the details.

Just looking at these buildings, Adam suddenly felt excited, "This place is not bad."
