I'm the director, I'm not bad

Chapter 691 688. Hundred Steelmaking

In fact, no matter how obsessed Chen Rui is with Two-dimensional culture... To put it bluntly, it is a subculture that has not yet become popular in China.

Regardless of how hot Japan is, the soil given to it by the Celestial Dynasty is not considered favorable at present.

This kind of subculture, in the eyes of those who like it, is the best in the world.

But for Xu Xin...

He actually dare not say that he is Two-dimensional.

Because of his understanding of Two-dimensional culture, he is actually very one-sided.

Only watch manga and anime that you like to watch.

For example, the three major migrant comics at the bottom of the Japanese manga despise chain hierarchy.

Both he and his wife love watching it.

Love to watch, can play jokes.

But if you meet an old Two-dimensional like Chen Rui, Xu Xin will feel numb if he tells you something like "⑨" or "Yakumo purple".

Because I don't understand.

Have no idea what it is.

But as a director, his thinking has always been divergent. He has and must be highly adaptable and receptive to any new thing that can be linked to "art" or "entertainment".

The most taboo thing about being a director is to trap yourself in a small world.

It's easy to confine yourself to a certain place that way, and never get out.

and……

Maybe it was fate too.

Since he and Makoto Xinkai exchanged emails every three days to talk about the differences and commonalities between the cultures of Japan and China, his attention has inevitably shifted to the domestic animation industry.

Will not necessarily shoot.

But he was intrigued.

Because...the animation industry is not the same as making real movies.

There is no way to say which side has a wider world, it can only be said that each has its own merits.

In addition to the station A and station B that I chatted with Chen Rui today, it is inevitable that he is very concerned about the so-called "Two-dimensional".

After listening to this classmate named Liu Wei talk about his company's prospects for a few minutes, he couldn't help showing a smile when he heard the phrase "our company philosophy is to save the world with technology nerds".

This slogan is quite secondary.

But it's kind of fun.

As for the other party's entrepreneurial plan, frankly speaking, it is so-so.

During the audition stage, everyone came up to talk, not so much to talk about business plans, but to impress the judges with their eloquence.

Only in the subsequent promotion competition will I continue to explain my ideas by making PPTs according to the focus points left by the judges.

So these 6 minutes are not so much a competition as how to arouse the interest of the judges.

In this regard, Liu Wei's words made everyone including Xu Xin and Wang Sicong raise their heads.

"I think that in the future, smartphones will be a big blue ocean! We want to create one or more virtual idols that can be freely used and interacted with on mobile phones, so as to realize mutual interaction between mobile phones, computers... and even hosts..."

Whether the following words can be realized... is whether a game can be interoperable on the computer, mobile phone, and console. Xu Xin doesn't know the technology in this area, so it's hard to comment.

But he felt that the vision of this young man was quite advanced.

We all know that smart phones will definitely set off the next round of entertainment technology innovation, which is a recognized and indisputable fact.

But being able to bring up this interaction...

For other technical bigwigs, Xu Xin didn't understand what this passage said.

But for him, he is quite satisfied.

What's more, this is the first person on stage.

Very good.

……

Soon, the 6-minute speech time is over.

The judge commented.

Everyone looked at each other...

For a while, no one said a word.

In fact, this is easy to understand.

Although the people who came here today are all famous figures in the country, but... such as Chen Rui and Xu Xin, they belong to the "temporary workers" among the judges.

Come for the Opening Ceremony and Finals.

The intermediate link is not blended.

Those who really have "real power" are the people in the entrepreneurial foundation.

And angel investors who maintain a good relationship with venture foundations.

And these two groups of people must follow the leadership of the entrepreneurial foundation.

In other people's places, if you want to speak, someone else must come first.

So, under the instruction of the host, one of the internal members of the Entrepreneurship Foundation and the leader of the Jiaotong University Foundation who is sitting at home today held a microphone and said:
"Student Liu Wei's idea is very good. It can be seen that your plan has also brought us a new perspective."

As he spoke, he looked around and said with a smile:
"Honestly speaking, this is the first time I heard today that people in the age group of 16 to 39 can be regarded as "technical nerds". It seems that many of us present here today meet this requirement." .”

His words were met with chuckles from some people.

It also brings a touch of relaxation to the atmosphere.

But well...

"To be honest, I think virtual idols are a bit one-sided as a business base. What I want to know is that since it is a virtual idol, it means that your platform must be based on the Internet. The Internet is very inclusive. Simple Virtual idols have a slightly narrower vision. This is my point of view."

And after he finished speaking, he nodded to the host, which meant that he could change to someone else.

The host understood and focused his attention on these guests.

After looking around for a while, he suddenly said:
"Director Xu, what's your opinion on Liu Wei's creative plan?"

"...?"

Xu Xin was taken aback.

a little surprised...

With so many professional counterparts on the internet, why did you pick me here?

By this time, the microphone had already been passed over.

Seeing this, after thinking for a while, he picked up the microphone:
"In fact, my point of view is slightly different from Director Ren's."

As he spoke, he politely apologized to the leader who had spoken just now.

Then he looked to the left and right and said:
"Come here today, with so many excellent investors from various industries in front of me, I'm a little out of sorts. Let's just... throw bricks to attract jade. What I said is wrong, seniors, don't laugh at me."

Finally, he turned to Liu Wei:
"Actually, just now, Mr. Chen Rui and Mr. Chen beside me were chatting all the time when we were waiting. What Mr. Chen said to me was similar to that of your classmate. Mr. Chen also thinks that the subculture of Two-dimensional is in our country. It has the soil to live in. Its culture is diverse.

I don't know what your follow-up plan is, my friend. Do you simply want to be a virtual idol similar to Hatsune Miku, or do you want to radiate around and carry out diversified operations.And what I want to express is that your way is actually right. "

Liu Wei's eyes lit up.

A smile appeared on his face.

"Of course, whether your business plan is feasible is still open to discussion. The reason why I say you are on the right path is because after listening to your plan, I understand that your idea should be in the initial stage of starting a business. Among young people...

A group of people who may not be many, but are extremely loyal.Make products that satisfy them.The simplification of products is your highlight and excellent place.Note that here I am referring to the early stages of entrepreneurship.Concentrating on one thing is much better than a hammer here and a mallet here. "

"Thank you Director Xu..."

Liu Wei hurriedly bowed and thanked.

After Xu Xin nodded politely in response, he continued:
"Of course, as I said just now, whether the business plan is feasible is debatable, because the time is short, and we can only know what the starting point of the business line you want to express is. As for whether the follow-up is feasible, it depends on the investors. What is your senior's perception of your plan after having a comprehensive understanding. But as far as the start is concerned, I think you are on the right path, this is my point of view, thank you."

"Thank you Director Xu, thank you."

Liu Wei bowed again.

"Okay, thank you Director Xu for your kind words..."

The moderator once again took over the moderator's job.

Guide the next person to review.

At this time, Wang Sicong leaned into his ear and asked:

"Are you interested in this project? I think it's average, isn't it just a domestic version of Hatsune Miku..."

"So I said, it's open to discussion. But I appreciate his approach. Small and sophisticated is the most suitable product in the early stage of entrepreneurship, rather than being ambitious. So...not bad."

Hearing this, Wang Sicong subconsciously nodded to express his understanding.

At the same time, I thought about it, and suddenly came a sentence:
"Hey, how about we set up an investment fund?"

Xu Xin didn't take it seriously and just said:

"Let's talk later."

Wang Sicong nodded knowingly.

also.

Then talk about it later.

Anyway, they really don't know how to spend their money.

Not to mention anything else, my friend can't even spend 7000 yuan a month.

It is also enough.

……

Liu Wei, who was the first to appear on the stage, ended up advancing.

Perhaps to save Xu Xin's face?
Although everyone thinks that virtual idols are unreliable, but Director Xu has boasted so much, it would be inappropriate not to give a vote of approval.

As a result, he became the first person to advance, and it was a good start for the meeting of entrepreneurs.

However, after listening to it all morning, even Xu Xin, a layman, discovered that... At least seven out of ten college students start their own businesses, but they are actually at the stage of talking on paper.

The "future" in their eyes is different from the future in reality.

As a well-known university in China, Jiaotong University is also the same.

Xu Xin made several speeches one after another.

Everyone can see it...

He is really oily.

The kind of oil no one can blame.

There is a smell of old officialdom.

On the surface, it would never be possible to hear any "denial" words from his mouth.

impossible.

Even Wang Sicong pointed out the contradictory nature of a classmate's entrepreneurial plan after speaking, saying bluntly:

"I don't think you're ready at all."

But it's Xu Xin's turn...

Still boast.

This classmate, you are so brave.

Not bad.

The plan is pretty good.

Just some details need to be changed...

That's probably what it means.

Regardless of whether you agree with the plan or not, he will not point out your shortcomings very sharply.

To put it bluntly, one word: fake.

But this kind of falsehood represents another level of wisdom.

After a whole morning's work, many people felt that, regardless of their young age...it is really not easy to achieve today's achievements.

Xu Xin didn't know what these big shots thought of him...

Or it doesn't matter if you know.

This era is an era that requires individuality.

If you have a personality, it often means that you have a hot spot.

The spotlight will be on you.

The so-called "hype" and "gimmick" actually come from this way.

But in fact, after careful study, most smart people know how to hide their true thoughts.

To put it bluntly, in this kind of public occasion, there is no need to push yourself to the forefront for that little traffic.

The buns have fillings, not on the pleats.

Whether it's oily or slippery.

To sum it up, it is just the wisdom of "stopping words".

……

After lunch, Wang Sicong and him found a cool place to smoke.

The two are not very old, and they are actually no different from students in school.

But the things to talk about are beyond the scope of the students.

"This is what I think. In the future, the main strategic focus will be on the mobile phone field. Or the mobile terminal field... I feel that it is not too late to do it now."

"Software?"

"Yes. Software, haven't you noticed that there are more and more mobile phone software, including games on the Apple platform. Infinity Sword, have you played it yet?"

"No, the ratings are quite high."

"That's a game... How can I say it, there is no operational game. The screen is a bit soul-like, but it is very fun, and the plot has depth. How can I tell you... After listening to their entrepreneurial philosophy this morning, plus Games like "Angry Birds" that rake in hundreds of millions of dollars ... I think it's really interesting."

"So you want to be an angel investor?"

"Correct."

"Then make one? Ask Wheels, if you want to do it, I'll invest [-] million for you first?"

"Let's say it first, if you earn a share, don't look for me if you lose money."

Hearing this, Xu Xin rolled his eyes directly:

"It's a good idea. If you make money, everyone will share it together. If you lose money, it will be treated as a loan from us. 9 out of 13 returns."

"..."

The corner of Wang Sicong's mouth twitched.

Although I know this bastard is joking...

But the person who can say this has a dark conscience.

……

The prizes of today's entrepreneurial competition are quite interesting.

To be honest, the money is actually not much.

If you can stand to the end, the bonus is only [-].

Thirty thousand, twenty thousand, ten thousand.

But its perks are good.

At that time, there will be a 60-square-meter office building in the Pioneer Park for the winners to use for free for one year, as well as 10 yuan of venture capital from the Young Eagle Project.

In the magic city where every inch of land is expensive, this kind of prize is still very exciting.

And at the end of the day, Xu Xin dragged Chen Rui to have a meal together before it was completely over.

What happened next, Xu Xin had nothing to do.

People sent by Wang Sicong and Yang Mi will join in.

The time for this entrepreneurial competition is quite long, half a year.

After finishing the business competition, Xu Xin went to headwind again on Monday.

On the following Tuesday, Yuntu announced their first signed artist to the outside world.

The angelbaby studio funded by Yuntu was formally established.

This news is not really shocking.

Although Yuntu stopped for a while after its establishment, during this period of time, everyone analyzed everything that could be analyzed.

The first artist...or the artists who will join in the future must be people who have a close relationship with the Northwest and Shanghai circles.

And Yang Ying is obviously very suitable.

Everyone knows about her relationship with Yang Mi.

My own business is also very prosperous. At this moment, I came out to set up a personal studio. At first glance, it seems to be a loss for Shuangwei...

But one thought of the identities of the couple.

Especially for Xu Xin's identity, Yang Ying, a potential stock with charisma, is actually the most suitable person.

Her career is on the rise, as long as she can make achievements, she can start Yuntu's brand.

It really couldn't be a more suitable candidate.

In other words...

These two are really willing.

tsk...

……

3 month 21 number.

The box office of "Guanyin Mountain" has exceeded 700 million yuan.

As a literary film, this movie is undoubtedly a big hit.

The shooting cost is 1000 and [-] million.

Although the amount of publicity is still unclear, its publicity method is different from the previous few films in the Beijing circle. Although it is also overwhelming, it is more of the "manpower" of Liang Bingning who may appear in any place at any time.

It's normal to think about it.

After all, it is the final film of the Tokyo Film Festival, and Liang Bingning has completely established her position as the queen of the film with this film.

No matter what film she makes in the future, no one will criticize her role in terms of acting skills.

It's normal for her to work so hard to promote.

Therefore, although Laurel did not disclose it, everyone estimates that the total cost of Guanyin Mountain should be around 2000 million.

The overseas box office will not be mentioned for the time being.

Domestically, this movie has already paid back its capital, and even made a small profit.

As a literary film, it undoubtedly delivered a satisfactory answer.

500 million on the first day, 3 million in 2600 days, and 10 million in 5600 days.As of today, a total of 18 days, 6800 million.

If this trend continues, it may reach the level of 8000 million in the end.

Liang Bingning's appeal has been tested by the market.

If there is no "Hawthorn Tree", then it may be the highest-grossing literary film in the past two years.

Although at the premiere, everyone was poured cold water on it because it was on par with "The Hawthorn Tree".

But the follow-up efforts proved... As long as "The Hawthorn Tree" is aside, it is also a leader-level existence.

but……

Just tonight.

Another movie is coming out.

"The Piano of Steel".

A movie starring Qin Hailu and Wang Qianyuan.

Liang Bingning won the best actor with "Guanyin Mountain", and Wang Qianyuan won the best actor with this movie.

The two films, though not at the same time, are both in March.

To the outside world, these two films are a double Jinshi.

They are all films for the glory of the country.

But now there is a taste of "why is it too urgent to fry each other".

One actor, one actress.

All in March.

The most important thing is that the forces behind these two movies are the Beijing and Northwest circles that have been "fighting" the most during this period.

Unconsciously, everyone focused their attention on this movie at the same time.

Can "The Piano" beat "Guanyin Mountain"?
You know...compared to Liang Bingning's appeal and promotion like a model worker, the promotion of "The Piano of Steel" is very ordinary.

A few programs that are not painful or itchy, and a few simple press conferences.

Feel……

It doesn't seem to work.

……

10pm.

Wangfujing, Hengdian Cinema.

"Hi, you two, we are reporters from Yanjing Channel's "Tiantian Film and Television Circle", is it convenient for us to accept an interview?"

The two young men and women who looked like college students who were still whispering raised their heads at the same time.

After seeing the reporter walking over, the boy froze for a moment, then nodded:
"convenient."

"Are you two here to watch a movie?"

"Uh... yes."

"Can you tell me which movie you chose today?"

"The Piano of Steel."

"Are you both?"

"correct."

"Then... can you tell me why you chose this movie?"

"The reason..."

The boy thought for a while and said:

"Isn't it an award-winning movie... and there is nothing to watch recently. But "The Piano of the Steel" is said to be produced by Xu Xin, I still like it better, and I trust his gaze. Although there are no big stars in this movie , but we'll still take a look."

"How could it be? There is Qin Hailu in "The Piano of Steel"."

"Uh... is she famous?"

"...Okay, thank you."

The reporter left with a microphone in hand, looking for the next interviewer.

As for the sentence at the end of this interview, don't think about it, it must be cut out.

And the interview between the two is like a microcosm of the audience's mentality of the film "The Piano of Piano".

Although its publicity is mediocre, because Xiying Film Studio put special emphasis on the position of "producer Xu Xin" in the trailer and promotion, it expresses Xu Xin's participation in this film.

This has also become a very important point for "The Piano of Steel" to attract audiences to watch.

Otherwise, there is no reason for these people to come to watch the premiere of "The Piano" at 12 o'clock in the morning.

And both Xu Xin and Yang Mi have been posting on Weibo these days to promote the movie.

Wang Sicong is more realistic.

Directly sent a Weibo with pictures:
"I'm going to watch "The Piano of the Piano" tonight, is there anyone coming?"

Although the budget is not much, everyone is doing more publicity for this movie.

Finally, with the arrival of midnight on March 3, the premiere of "The Piano of Steel" began.

On the morning of March 3, both Xu Xin and Yang Mi also posted their "couple ticket" photos, indicating that they also went to the cinema to watch a movie.

And the score of "The Piano" was also unlocked at 8:[-] in the morning.

Opening rating: 8.7
More than 700 reviews.

This score proves that this movie is really good.

After everyone's hard-working publicity, the day on the 22nd is officially over.

At 23:0 am on the 42rd, a piece of news swept across the movie sector.

The box office of "The Piano" on the first day: 1120 million.

It's all red!
This time...

The piano is really made of steel.

seem……

It's still steelmaking!
