Rebirth 2010: I taught Mr. Lei how to make a mobile phone

Chapter 559 Conference Guests

The next day, "Knife of the Assassin" scored 7.8 points on Douban, which was much higher than the 4.0 points of "The Bride with White Hair" and 7.1 points of "District " released at the same time.

Both the media and the audience gave the film high praise.

Southern Metropolis Daily commented: "'Embroidered Spring Knife' is not a knife that calls for spring, but a knife that is 'not exaggerated and has sincerity'.

In today's world where Hollywood blockbusters and so-called big productions are all the rage, domestic films need such quality films even more.

Many viewers may have missed this masterpiece due to its slightly unfamiliar title and insufficient publicity, which is a pity.

The film uses the cold light of the Embroidered Spring Knife to break through the flashy bubbles of martial arts films, and the dark aesthetics of power struggles and human nature are shocking. "

Movie World gave high praise to the character creation in the film:

“Chang Chen’s Shen Lian is one of the most complex characters in Chinese films in recent years, his silence is sharper than a knife;

Wang Qianyuan plays Lu Jianxing, who is neither humble nor overbearing; Nie Yuan plays Eunuch Zhao, who is ruthless and treacherous;

Wei Zhongxian, played by Jin Shijie, is extremely cunning and sly, especially Ding Xiu, who only appears in a few scenes and has only a few lines, but he leaves a deep impression on people.

Among the female characters, Zhou Miaotong, played by Liu Yifei, is full of charm in every smile and frown, and her performance of love and hatred with Shen Lian is also remarkable.

Jing Tian brought the innocence and kindness of the daughter of the clinic to life, especially her ability to conceal her love for Jin Yichuan. The acting skills of the two women have grown visibly without being stereotyped, which adds a different flavor to this rather dark film, which is not easy. "

Time.com praised it, saying, "Knife of the Assassin can be called the Chinese version of The Bourne Identity. The action design combines a sense of actual combat with oriental aesthetics, and it can be called an innovative work of martial arts films. The film itself is very simple, and the director is full of sincerity. It is indeed the pinnacle of domestic martial arts films in recent years."

The majority of viewers who watched the premiere also put aside their critical standards, and the short reviews on Douban were mostly encouraging.

"When I watched it, I had the illusion that 'Huh? This is actually a good movie.' This is very rare in domestic films."

"The work is not perfect, but it is still good as an original work. 4 stars for encouragement. At least it will be included in the annual top ten, and it may even be ranked in the top five."

Some viewers even praised the actors' performances: "Zhang Zhen is so handsome, isn't he? On the contrary, the two female characters, Liu Yifei and Jing Tian, ​​performed quite well, which changed my mind a lot. They made cameo appearances in this small-budget film, and their acting skills were obviously like those of plastic surgery. The media previously revealed that the two had taken master classes with veteran actors, and it seems that it was quite effective."

Some viewers even joked: "It's just for filming. Otherwise, which man in real life can resist the charm of Liu Yifei and Jing Tian? If I could have both of them as girlfriends at the same time, I wouldn't even dare to dream about it. Fei Tian Party YYDS!"

Of course, some viewers also criticized the film: "What a crappy movie, there is no logic, and you can guess the ending after watching the beginning. Can I get a refund?"

However, more viewers still expressed their support for the film: "I can only say that bad movies are in vogue recently, which makes normal movies like "The Blade of the Assassin" look abnormal. I could only give it 3 stars originally, but now I give it stars. I can't stand those trolls who are just smearing it for the sake of smearing it."

Despite its good reputation, the screening rate of "Knife of the Assassin" did not increase but dropped by 3% to only 12%. The prime-time theaters were given to "District " and "The Bride with White Hair".

That night, Chen Mo was browsing Douban and saw the unanimous praise for "The Blade of the Assassin" online. Many netizens even spontaneously promoted the film.

With his level, he received much more information than netizens. Not only did they not schedule a screening for a movie with such a high attendance rate, but they also stole the box office revenue. He felt that some people were going too far.

After thinking about it, Chen Mo felt that he needed to do something.

From a public perspective, "Blade of the Assassin" is the second work invested by Bi'an Pictures (the first one was a future masterpiece during the Spring Festival), and it is also the achievement of Bi'an Pictures, or at least part of Bi'an's reputation.

Personally, he has women acting in the film, and there are two of them.

Although Beyond Pictures is only the producer of the film, I am also one of the top figures in the technology circle. Moreover, I used to go to the Second Ring Road every now and then, and it was not in vain. In some occasions, I got to know some relevant people who could talk to me.

So Chen Mo took out his cell phone, flipped through the address book, and looked for a few names that he could talk to.
On August 8, Xiaomi held a new product launch conference.

The venue for this press conference was not the Centennial Auditorium or the National Convention Center, but a slightly larger venue set up within Xiaomi.

After all, all advertising and marketing budgets have been cut, there is no venue fee and no media travel expenses.

But even so, there are still many media reporters who come uninvited and cannot be stopped. Some are even willing to pay for their travel expenses.

Fortunately, the live broadcast technology and conditions are now relatively complete, and platforms such as Bi'an Video, Bilibili, and Douyu all broadcast this press conference live.

Before the press conference started, the appearance of Chen Mo and Liu Qiangdong pushed the atmosphere up even more, which was equivalent to boosting the popularity of this Xiaomi press conference.

Xiaomi X5, H5 and G5 series of mobile phones were released at the same time, focusing on flagship, cost-effectiveness and gaming features.

Xiaomi digital peripherals such as power banks, earphones, bracelets, etc. were also unveiled, adding new members to Xiaomi's smart home.

Whether it was because of the home team, the presence of Chen Mo and Liu Qiangdong, or the support of the Xiaomi staff, Lei Jun's impassioned speech at the press conference was perfect, and his Hubei Xiantao accent was even more authentic. Afterwards, Hong Feng, head of the MIOS system, came on stage to introduce the features of the new version and announced the opening of the ecosystem, which is expected to be compatible with the Apple ecosystem next year.
The biggest climax of the press conference that day came when Lei Jun announced on the spot: due to the "Dianbu" discount campaign launched some time ago, the price of new products will be reduced by an average of 300 yuan on the basis of the original price.

You should know that the original prices of Xiaomi products are already very affordable. The products launched at this conference have been upgraded in configuration while the prices remain unchanged, which means "increasing quantity without increasing price". Moreover, the prices can be reduced by another two to three hundred yuan on this basis.

Although there were no earth-shattering words like "amazing", such a sincere performance and prices that repeatedly exceeded expectations still caused a collective carnival in the live broadcast barrage.

Barrages of comments such as "Thor" began to flood the screen.

Some netizens even excitedly cursed: "Mr. Lei, you are such a spendthrift, I like you so much"

Finally, Chen Mo took the opportunity to announce a small easter egg: "In order to thank the players who support the game and the users who support the video of the other shore, the other shore film industry has invested 3000 million yuan to create the derivative game animation "China World" of the China Trilogy.

This animation is a sincere work created by Liudao Wuyu Studio under Bi'an Films, and will be available on Bi'an Video and Bilibili at 8:18 pm on August 8.

Next, please enjoy the trailer of "China World."

The 1-minute trailer was played, which aroused the expectations of countless players and anime fans in front of the screen.
During the interview session after the press conference, a media reporter joked: "After this press conference, Mr. Lei will become a deadbeat again."

After hearing this, Lei Jun smiled shyly and said, "We have been working very hard to increase production capacity. However, no matter how much we estimate, the actual orders are still 3 to 5 times higher than we expected. I am really sorry.

Now I finally understand the feeling of pain and happiness, but the spot goods can still last for a while. You can go to JD.com to buy it. If it is spot goods, it will arrive in one day at the fastest, and 3 days in remote areas. Pre-sale will be opened later.

Thank you for supporting Xiaomi. I will go to the factory to supervise the factory in a while and post it on Weibo in real time. Everyone is welcome to be an online supervisor. "

When a reporter asked about the design inspiration of Xiaomi's new mobile phone, Lei Jun looked at someone in the audience and smiled until his eyes narrowed slightly:

“First of all, I have to thank our Xiaomi senior consultant Chen Mo, who provided the initial inspiration, which is the metal frame plus slightly curved glass.

To be honest, this process is very complicated and requires a lot of skills, but no matter how difficult it is, our Xiaomi colleagues have overcome it, which is great. Thumbs up to them!"

Perhaps it’s because Lei Jun has been with Chen Mo for a long time, and the situation has improved, and they can both bring their own traffic.

This can be seen from the fact that on the day of the press conference, the same outfit that Lei Jun wore was sold out at Vancl.

After Xiaomi’s press conference, even without any money spent and without any marketing, various topics about Xiaomi still made headlines in major media outlets.

A few days after the press conference, Xiaomi-related orders came in like snowflakes.

After all, the current environment is stable and improving, and ordinary people can earn money, so they are more willing to spend it.

This makes Lei Jun and Dong Zi very busy.

For a while, Chen Mo became idle.

In addition to dealing with group affairs and paying attention to the development of its subsidiaries, he also asked Tianji Pavilion to simulate several plans for the next show.

From now until the end of the month, he will have a rare period of stable development.
A few days later, at around 22pm in the evening, in Beijing, Wanda Cinema CBD store.

Today is a weekday and it is late at night, so there are not many people in the Wanda Cinema lobby.

A young couple was discussing what to watch and saw the movie poster standing next to the theater. Finally, they decided to try "The Blade of the Assassin", which had a rising Douban score and was praised by netizens.

The boy walked to the counter and asked the ticket seller: "What time is the next show of "The Blade"?"

"Hello sir, the nearest one is at 11:20."

"Hey, isn't there a show in the VIP room in about ten minutes on your movie screen?"

"Uh, sorry sir, that show is full."

"Oh my god, what's going on? Is 'Blade of the Assassin' so popular now? Okay, okay, give me two tickets for the 11:20."

The boy turned his head and suddenly saw three people not far away, and his eyes could not move.

Although the other person's face could not be seen clearly because of his baseball cap and black mask, his figure and temperament were very outstanding and incomparable to ordinary people. This could be seen from the fact that they walked straight through the ticket gate and a staff member beside them bowed slightly.

In fact, he would not have noticed it at first, because the combination of one man and two women was too "indecent".

The boy curled his lips and said, "Damn rich second generation!"
Tsk, it's like no one has a girlfriend, two of them are amazing
He then walked towards his girlfriend.
