Huayu: As a child star, I just want to be famous

Chapter 435 Company Development, "Shen Xia" New Drama

December 12, Kirin Company Headquarters.

A few months ago, the headquarters building was finally completed. The 33-story building is considered average compared to the surrounding high-rise buildings.

He bought the land at a clever time, just when the land price was low.

There are also two more pieces left for possible future Maoyan and V Station.

It can also be considered as leaving some foundation for the future. If the business really cannot be continued one day, selling the building may be able to survive.

Although this is the most rapid period of development, everyone who moves in is full of confidence in the future.

Chen Rui and Xu Wu were particularly confident when summarizing this year's achievements.

In the past year, V Station has achieved leapfrog development.

The number of users exceeds 8 million, and there are tens of thousands of up-masters involved in making and uploading videos, which already has Chen Linfeng's original idea for this type of website.

In terms of animated series, Chen Rui has bought a lot of current and past classic animations in the past year.

At the same time, we obtained the audio-visual license and started legitimate operations.

In this regard, V Station is relatively advanced because of Chen Linfeng, and this was already a requirement in the planning from the previous year.

At the end of last year, the National Copyright Office shut down BT websites and an anti-piracy alliance was established.

This basically means that the formalization of various video websites is an inevitable trend.

Those video websites are spending money to buy movies and TV series, and they are very active in this field. The funds they use are far more than that of V Station by several orders of magnitude.

The v-station is like sneaking into a village without firing a gun.

Quietly achieved a monopoly in the entire two-dimensional animation field.

Now it is developing towards pan-two-dimensional fields such as games, comics, film and television.

Next, we plan to expand to the mobile side to catch up with the trend of mobile Internet.

"Next year, V-site is expected to make further progress, with the number of users increasing by at least an order of magnitude, and the number of monthly active users exceeding one million."

Chen Rui spoke in a loud voice, and at the same time glanced at Xu Wu beside him inadvertently.

Chen Linfeng nodded. It was only the 11th year now, but he had already achieved the same level of development as the 13th year in his previous life, which was two years ahead of schedule.

From Chen Rui's description, it is not difficult to see that he is basically developing at a ceiling and cannot go any faster even if he wants to.

Of course, people born in the 90s are now entering college at around the age of 20. These people are natural potential users of V Station.

The focus of development is also to attract these people.

Considering that in 08, the number of college entrance examination candidates in China exceeded million.

These people are the beginning of the post-90s generation.

In the future, every year, there will be a population of this magnitude who will naturally tend to love Ai Dimension, and they will be the best user group.

Chen Rui suggested, "Mr. Chen, I think you can also create an account on our V site. When the time comes, the company's brand image may depend on you to help shape it."

It’s the same thing that Uncle Chen did in his early years, right?

Although this Chen is not that Chen, Chen Linfeng still declined the offer.

Uncle Chen has eaten so many boomerangs.

However, he had no objection to joining the V site.

It's always a good thing, both for the company and for him personally.

The report from v station is almost done, next is Xu Wu from Maoyan.

It was officially started at the beginning of this year, and it has only been half a year.

Because it started at a high level and had the cooperation of several theaters from the beginning, its development speed is incomparable to that of ordinary websites.

Thanks to the favorable situation of the film industry this year, Maoyan has also reaped a lot of benefits.

By the end of the year, which is the recent period.

For every movie, about 5% of the movie tickets are issued from Maoyan.

To put it in perspective, that’s 5% of the moviegoers.

The number of users so far has exceeded 300 million.

This is an exaggerated speed of development.

Chen Rui was a little shocked. Compared with their V station, the speed was too far behind.

Chen Linfeng was not surprised, after all, the film and television industry is aimed at the general public.

The cardinality is naturally much larger than that of the two-dimensional world.

Maoyan’s next focus will be on online seat selection and mobile development.

In fact, the finished product has been made, but it is still in the testing phase.

"Both of you have done a great job. Keep up the good work next year."

Chen Linfeng encouraged his two generals and showed great satisfaction.

Chen Rui hesitated for a while, and then asked, "Mr. Chen, when will our V-site start raising funds?

To be honest, we spent a bit too much money last year.”

Buying animation series, buying servers, and providing user incentives all cost money.

He is a little worried as he sees that more funds will be needed next year.

Xu Wu also looked over here with concern. He had spent a lot of money this year.

Chen Linfeng looked at Chen Rui, "Has anyone contacted you?"

"Well, my former boss at Kingsoft, Mr. Lei, as well as Penguin and Alibaba, have all asked about it."

Xu Wu raised his hand, "Mr. Chen, Penguin also mentioned investment to me."

"Brother Xiao Ma is so concerned about this," Chen Linfeng teased, without any disgust in his heart.

In the past, when developing Internet products, the first question you had to ask yourself was what you would do if Penguin copied you.

Today, penguins are less aggressive and have become better partners by spending money instead.

After all, it only provides money and rarely intervenes or even tries to take control of the company.

The latter is what Alibaba prefers to do. Chen Linfeng does not think that he can push these two products to the market just because he has money.

Not to mention the technology, platforms, promotion, channels and other resources needed during the development process.

Just preventing these big Internet companies from setting up new businesses and going against you is a great thing.

Therefore, Chen Linfeng roughly described his considerations and replied,
"After the number of users exceeds 10 million, Chen Rui, you can try to negotiate first."

He then emphasized, "Don't be too anxious, we really don't lack money."

"Mr. Chen, I understand."

"Xu Wu, it's the same on your side," Chen Linfeng said, changing direction.

"In the A round of financing, we should just go for a bigger sum. After all, we don't care about small amounts of money. If the other party disagrees, it's their business."

Chen Linfeng prefers Penguin and doesn't mind both companies cooperating with Penguin.

As is his way of thinking in Hollywood, he is not afraid to take sides.

In other words, in the early stages, it is safer to stand firmly on the side.

It takes strength to be able to please both sides and remain neutral.

Then he listened to the situation on Longlin's side and the development of the special effects of the mythical beasts. Chen Linfeng finally finished this year-end report summary.

As the controller of three companies and the major shareholder of Longlin.

He spent a lot of time just understanding the company's development and remote control strategic deployment.

This has become increasingly evident in the past two years.

I also don’t know how those tycoons who have become the richest men in many online articles and own dozens of companies are able to maintain such deep control over the companies.

At the end of the month, I spent New Year's Day at home with my parents and Xiaolong.

In early January 2011, Chen Linfeng and Liu Qianqian went to London.

"Chen, you're ranked seventh in the year, congratulations."

"Yes, great director, I hope you'll have a chance to help me in the future."

The main creators of "Shen Xia" are very enthusiastic, even more enthusiastic than when they worked together the year before last.

"Hah, thank you, Martin."

"Andrew, you are too polite."

Chen Linfeng greeted them one by one.

"CC, I heard that you starred in a $1 million movie last year? Congratulations."

"cc, The Walking Dead is awesome, I love Green's."

"Thank you."

Liu Xixi also received better treatment than before.

In addition to the crew getting along better, everyone also became closer to each other.

Two years ago, "Sherlock Holmes" was very popular.

In the past year, all the main creators have made progress in their careers.

Everyone is making more money and getting paid better, but it hasn’t reached a point where it affects the operation of the crew.

Therefore, everyone is very satisfied and they are more in agreement with each other.

It is the rising period of an organization, and the scene is thriving.

Chen Linfeng brought his new book "Shenxia 3", which was an English translation version.

He has discussed this with publishers in China and Europe and the United States and decided that the timing is awkward and it would not be possible to make it in time for the Christmas season, so it would be better to postpone it.

It was decided to release it in March or April at the beginning of the year.

Therefore, the book he is carrying now is an internal version, which is specially used for the crew to write scripts.

The current plot settings are not entirely in line with the "Shen Xia 2" written by Chen Linfeng before.

They need to ensure that there are no conflicts between the current settings and subsequent stories.

After all, the screenwriters must have some ideas of their own. In addition, the plot of the novel "Shen Xia 2" may not be suitable for filming, so some adjustments must be made.
In this regard, even if Chen Linfeng followed the story framework of "Sherlock Holmes" in his previous life, it might not be completely appropriate.

After all, the eras of the two works are different, and bugs might appear when he changes the time and space.

For Chen Linfeng, before the crew completely finalizes the script, they can make reasonable modifications within the scope of the play-centered system. He is happy to see the script become more perfect.

"Oh, it's so wonderful, it just touched my heart." Mark Gatiss exclaimed as he watched.

"Yeah, it feels like the plot I would have imagined in my dreams. Chen is a genius."

Fellow screenwriter Steven Moffat almost stood up and cheered.

Of course, this is the plot you came up with in your previous life.

Chen Linfeng felt a little embarrassed when he heard this. In front of the original author, he couldn't stand being so thick-skinned.

After several screenwriters, including the producer, have read it.

He began to go over the script again with everyone.

The new version of the script is very different from the novel Chen Linfeng wrote previously.

The key lies in the rhythm of the story and the division of unit dramas.

The original work is the story of "Sherlock Holmes", and the overall narrative structure of the movie is that the main story line is actually very long.

Chen Linfeng stitched both movies in, originally intending to unfold them as two episodes of the story.

But when writing a novel, you can add a few more words to make the story clear.

But it won’t work in movies or TV series.

Therefore, the screenwriters split a novel into two seasons of scripts.

A movie serves as the main story line of a season, and small detective stories from unit dramas are interspersed in it.

This structure will be much better.
