Huayu has been doing one good deed a day since 2001

Chapter 332 A Scientific Genius's Exclusive New Year's Benefits

Time turns.

In September 2008, the historic Lehman Brothers bankruptcy occurred as scheduled.

In his spare time, Lao Li went to Hong Kong Island and stayed for half a month.

He has enough time to do a lot in the next two weeks.

From traditional enterprises like Moutai to Tencent, Weibo, and 360.

Then, the Alibaba ecosystem also began to plummet.

It's just that a few days might see a loss of 10 to 20 billion, but Alibaba's stock price has plummeted to the point of becoming worthless.

The 08 wealth rankings are almost forgotten.

It wasn't until the National Day Golden Week in October that Lao Li returned to the mainland to continue moving between various industrial systems.

This Golden Week holiday, Iron Man still got to eat the biggest bowl of soup.

Time has propelled Dong Xuan's starring role in (The Piano in a Factory) to the forefront, without any major promotion.

Post a Weibo update to appeal online, and just print a batch of posters to make do.

The steel piano sold much better than the original, easily surpassing 1.5 million in seven days.

This is the appeal brought by Dong Xuan, one of the four leading actresses; the film's performance in the awards competition is very impressive.

The movie "Ocean Heaven," starring He Qing, Zhou Huimin, and Jiang Shuying, ran a promotional tour for more than a month, and finally grossed 9300 million yuan in mainland China before being pulled from theaters.

The popularity of "The Piano in a Steel" was boosted by the airing of "Lurking".

And the favorable factors of the Golden Week holiday period.

The release of "Iron Man" at the end of August successfully broke the 5 million yuan box office mark in mainland China, and the local team from Hong Kong's Hoi Wan also performed well.

Huang Xiaoming and Blake Lively are alternative ways to solidify their status and influence.

Old Li only had a two-day cameo role in the film "So Young" in October.

His most anticipated highlight was still "Let the Bullets Fly" (Huang Silang) after the 09 Spring Festival.

Within the realm of television, "Lurking" and "Return to the Brightness" were the first and second runs, and then the third rerun, each time boosting viewership.

The highest percentage of those who could remain hidden was 18%.

This is an outstanding performance; in 09, it was only 7% of the phenomenal popularity of "Dwelling Narrowness".

This is the story of Dong Xuan's series of major films and her numerous award-winning works.

His return to the small screen generated phenomenal buzz.

When it was rebroadcast in the Ming Dynasty, the highest viewership rating exceeded 30%, which was definitely more impressive than the original Huanzhu.

Countless students, office workers, and middle-aged and elderly men have put aside their various affairs to return to the small screen.

Currently in China, both online and offline, countless people are eating, dining, chatting, joking, and boasting.

They were all talking about how, if I were reborn in the Ming Dynasty like Hu Ge, I could also benefit from the knowledge cultivated by the modern compulsory education system.

Easily copy and paste your way to the pinnacle of life.

There are precedents of characters being reborn in ancient times in film and television works; Xiang Shaolong is a prime example.

However, compared to the production team of CCTV's versions of Romance of the Three Kingdoms and Water Margin, it still boasts costumes, props, and lavish shots on par with Joy of Life.

Hu Ge, this young actor known for his period dramas, also has countless fans who cherish his memory.

It's worth noting that the TV series version of The Myth aired in 2010.

Despite declining viewership ratings year after year, Myth managed to set a record for the most popular opening drama on CCTV for 10 years.

What does all this tell us?
The protagonist's development path in the mythological version is truly a tragic version.

In 08, a TV drama rating exceeding 30% was truly a reversal of the times.

It was on the peninsula that the highest percentage of viewership in the first quarter of the year exceeded 40%.

In the island nation, they also won with over 25% of the vote (Victory is Justice) and other drama kings.

From Singapore, Malaysia, and Thailand to the Philippines and other countries, they have repeatedly broken records.

The novel "Back to the Ming Dynasty" has completely solidified Hu Ge's status as the number one leading man in period dramas.

Will this be a boost for Li Qin and Liu Yifei, who are the two female leads in the same season?
Being able to match the star rating gives you a boost to Li Jiaxin, just like how the ghost gives Liu Shishi a boost.

Incidentally, in the first season, before Hu Ge drowned while doing a heroic deed in modern times, the narrator said that dying wasn't shameful, but it was a pity that the hard drive couldn't be formatted.

This went viral across the internet.

Countless silly netizens tagged Hu Ge on Weibo, asking him which teachers he was familiar with.

Did you go to Tokyo to meet up or anything?

This has become the source of content for the viral frenzy in the parody and meme community.

In November and December of the following year, "Dwelling Narrowness" premiered on Shanghai TV.

It's still starring Li Qin!!
This topic itself touched on hot issues in mainland China, such as housing and mortgage slaves, coupled with the sharp drop in housing prices under the financial crisis.

And power and such.

Many of the lines are also quite explicit.

Lee Chin, who had just been promoted to a national-level rising star in Huimingli, suddenly went all out!

Riding on the momentum of (Return to Ming), Li Qin's version of Dwelling Narrowness achieved an initial viewership rating of 11%.

As it played, the viewership stabilized at around 15%, which was double that of the original version.

Her status as the youngest of the Five Dragon Girls is almost on par with Liu Yifei's.

November 2008, 11, light snow.

Old Li stood on the Qianlibu ground test field, which was set up just like a live-action CS outdoor base.

He watched as a robotic dog, controlled by AI software, struck a group of boys in a class.

The young men retaliated, hitting the robot dog more than ten times with blank rounds.

The problem is that the robot dog's appearance is indeed a pure metal alloy.

These injuries are really minor for a robot dog. But what if this exercise turned into real combat?
The exercise has ended.

Lei Zi walked over in shock and bowed, "President Li, does this mean we can start the rehearsal?"

Old Li shook his head, "It's still far from that. This is just replacing the moving target experiment with a real person. It's still a laboratory product."

"Furthermore, the operating platform has never been converted from a supercomputer to a regular laptop."

"This still has a generational gap in a practical sense, making it impractical."

It's still a long way from real combat.

After all, this involves a completely new clothing system big data and a simulated facial database.

Body type and height database.

Then there's the massive database of real-person dynamics of evasion and escape.

Theoretically, it's far from the truth.

From supercomputing computers to laptops, and then to mobile devices? That's still a few years away.

Even so, it was still an achievement to have made progress to this point by the end of 08.

It has been leading the world in cutting-edge technology for several years.

He has been self-studying the field of AI for over two years and has achieved remarkable results.

After several more live-action rehearsals, Lao Li finally felt refreshed and drove back to the media headquarters.

This time, the driver is Liu Shishi. She and Yang Mi finished filming (Du Lala). Liu still says the same thing: she doesn't want to push the car to the theater to cheat movie fans out of their money.

It's quickly becoming like the future of online movies.

While driving steadily, Liu Shishi said happily, "(So Young) has also finished filming, right? It's only late November, and we can easily make it to the Lunar New Year film season."

"Judging from the script alone, I feel that Sister Tong's new work is more guaranteed in quality than mine."

"If a low-budget romance film rakes in 500 or 600 million yuan at the box office, how many other companies across the country will follow suit and rush to register these romance novels?"

Old Li nodded with a smile, "This topic is definitely going to be a hit several times."

It's the end of 08 now, and after the Olympics, housing prices in mainland China are expected to take off.

But the number of people and social groups with bulging wallets is increasing.

And before countless people who were paid to serve dogs brought in their boxing skills.

Going to the movies is the top choice for countless couples' spending.

This year's Lunar New Year film season deserves to have multiple films vying for box office success.

In 2009, when the number of cinemas was less than half of what it is now, Transformers 2, 2012, and The Founding of a Republic all grossed over 4 million RMB.

Originally, in 2009, there were seven Hollywood blockbusters that grossed between 100 million and 400 million yuan at the Chinese box office.

Iron Man 1's box office in mainland China was 5.65 million yuan, which, at the exchange rate of that month, was equivalent to 8200 million US dollars.

This is still considered a very ordinary publicity campaign!
If they used the same marketing momentum as with the virus and went on a crazy roadshow, it wouldn't be difficult for Iron Man to break 7 million.

Just like the original Iron Man 3, it easily broke 7.5 million yuan in mainland China.

The film "So Young," released in the same year, grossed 7.1 million yuan.

Therefore, the time-travel series is betting on blockbusters during the Spring Festival holiday season, from Painted Skin to A Chinese Ghost Story IV.

How well will it perform? That depends on the marketing and promotion efforts. More frequent roadshows will result in higher box office numbers. Mediocre marketing and promotion will only lead to average box office results.

This is not the right atmosphere for a large-scale roadshow.

In just six months, the devastation caused by the natural disaster has not yet been fully healed.

…………

January 1, 2009, New Year's Day.

Old Li was conducting research in the AI ​​server room at the media headquarters when he saw Xiao Tong come in with Megan and the big secret agent after knocking on the door.

Megan walked the fastest of the three, showering them with sweet words.

They directly said that Old Li had started an uprising.

Two hours later, Lao Li lit a cigarette with a sigh, realizing that beautiful women were indeed hindering his progress in cheating.

After being revived, Tong Liya laughed and said, "Senior brother, you're so funny. In the past few years, you were so busy during the New Year holidays."

"Is it getting easier now?"

"I heard that Sister Bingbing has been holding meetings, both big and small, for the past few days, and those meetings have taken up a lot of time."

As the new year begins, countless large and small cinema chains in mainland China are once again discussing price increases.

This isn't a big deal now.

The price increase also signifies an increase in the total box office revenue.

Old Li laughed and said, "This is a special benefit for scientific research talents, so they can focus on their careers."

Tong Liya nodded, "Today is New Year's Day, which is also the sixth day of the twelfth lunar month. Winter vacation has started. Is 'So Young' scheduled for release on January 15th?"

Her low-budget romantic film wrapped up filming in November.

Now we're just waiting to capitalize on the momentum and enter the major Lunar New Year film season.

On December 22nd of last month, A Chinese Ghost Story IV had already bombarded theaters, except that there was no major publicity or roadshow.

The campaign involved regular Weibo promotions, underground posters, and appearances by Wang Zuxian and other key members of the production team on several television interview programs.

The film "Painted Skin," starring Jiang Shuying as the female lead, Zhou Xun as the second female lead, and Chen Kun as the male lead, premieres at midnight today.

The same applies to the "Youthful Days" mode.

This box office performance won't be a miracle, and it will be far weaker than last year's blockbuster, Sheep Without a Shepherd.

The advantage is that everyone won't be so busy, and can have a good rest and a peaceful New Year.

Old Li nodded, "This date is fine."

That's how big movie release schedules work.

At present, the mainstream in the industry is still focused on making blockbuster films.

In the realm of TV dramas, the second season of (Back to Ming Dynasty) and the first season of (The Best Housekeeper) are both currently in production and have begun filming.

The new female lead added to the second season of Back to Ming is Cui Ying'er, a strong-willed female knight-errant.

It also has its own independent and complete storyline, and is an existence with extraordinary martial arts skills.

This is why Liu Yifei said there would be three female leads in the second season.

The TV series adaptation of "Return to the Ming Dynasty" is one of the major improvements made to the novel.

In the novel, Zhu Houzhao redeemed people and gave them to the male protagonist Yang Ling, including courtesans such as Yu Tangchun and Xue Limei.

did not appear.

The optimized version is no longer available.

A 20-episode TV series doesn't need to deliberately cram so many beautiful women into the Yang family all at once.

A pacing of three female leads across two seasons and 40 episodes would be more appropriate.

This matchmaker, Cui Ying'er, also has a villainous ex-husband, Yang Hu, the leader of the outlaws.

Yang Hu's band of outlaws colluded with foreign tribes of the Ming Dynasty to plunder prefectures and counties within Ming territory.

It also involves numerous war scenes depicting the conflict between the grassland tribes and the Ming Dynasty.

They were bound to be wiped out.

However, the drama involves power struggles between civil and military officials, with the civil official group suppressing imperial power.

Yang Ling expanded his power from the Embroidered Uniform Guard, quelled rebellions in Jiangnan, and fought against the grassland clique, among other things.

The plot is exciting and there are many grand and magnificent scenes.

Cui Ying'er was played by 27-year-old Zhang Bozhi.

Ah Zhi, one of the four leading actresses, has left the stage.

This is a pancake that Lao Li gave to Azhi because he saw how devoted Azhi had been to pursuing him for several years.

I've put aside the Ip Man series and Ah Chi's terrible movies for a long time.

Many times, their popularity and influence were suppressed by the Eight Beauties, leaving them trembling in fear.

She was almost kicked out of the list of the four leading actresses.

Having a work that can recoup losses is also important.

Ip Man earned 390 million yuan at the box office in mainland China last year, but it can no longer crack the top 20 at the box office.

Xiao Tong chuckled again, "Sometimes I really admire you. Nazha's wedding photos are so beautiful, yet you never even gave her any guidance on kissing scenes."

"She's 17 now in 09."

Xiao Tong had heard Alexandra Daddario recount some of the darker aspects of the United States.

Things like islands are truly mind-blowing.

Old Li sighed, "Let's wait until after her 17th birthday."

In 08, he would enjoy Nazha's massage every now and then.

Let me offer some guidance to Xiao Nazha from the perspective of Traditional Chinese Medicine.

The most daring cameo in "So Young" was holding hands; it was just a dramatic performance.

If the total box office of "So Young" exceeds 6 million yuan during the Lunar New Year film season.

This also means that projects starring Gulnazar, a 90s-born actress, as the second female lead can gross over 22 billion yuan.

She's definitely just a pretty face.

The big secretary, with a career-driven spirit, smiled sweetly and said, "Senior, I heard from Sister Yuanyuan that in the business we're dealing with..."

"Besides The Founding of a Republic, General Manager Han of China Film Group also wants to make a patriotic film."

"But the target audience is entrepreneurs. He asked if it's possible to adapt the story based on you."

Old Li, “…”

His entrepreneurial journey was so smooth that even if it were made into a movie, there wouldn't be any dramatic build-up or climax.

Is this the origin of the "Chinese Partners" project?
That's normal. The patriotic film "The Founding of a Republic" has been in production for a long time, from 05 to now.

Old Li himself will also make a cameo appearance.

Another type of entrepreneurial mainstream project can also generate inspiration in advance.

He complained, "Filming me is a bit too straightforward and narrative-driven, and I've ventured into too many fields, so it's more like filming the 80s and 90s."

“A story of struggle in a specific industry or field is more appropriate.”

It's the sixth day of the twelfth lunar month.

The first day of the Lunar New Year will be in just over 20 days.

After a short rest, it's time to head to Goose City to start filming.

Before and after the Spring Festival, he remotely controlled the overall situation of each group.

Fat Bing, Big Beauty, and Ah Xin are all part-time CEOs of an increasingly large media department.

They're both incredibly busy.

Take Transformers 2, for example, which has already finished filming. It has been in conflict with timelines more than once regarding release dates, screening rates, and so on.

The biggest change in King Kong 2 is that Peng Guanying, a freshman from the class of 06, played the role of Sam Witwicky's college roommate.

A Chinese male international student, an alien enthusiast.

Nina Dobrev starred as Alice, a deceptive cyborg.

She missed out on Iron Man due to her poor acting skills, but Alice in Wonderland still managed to amaze audiences worldwide.

Old Li is using film and television collaborations to increase Megan's chances of winning an Oscar for Best Actress.

This means giving up on pursuing Shi Guang Xiaosheng and Xiao Hua in King Kong 2.

But Paramount, for the sake of the mainland market, still took the initiative to offer the opportunity.

Regardless of the male protagonist's roommate or the cyborg Alice.

These are all roles outside the top five of the male and female lead groups.

Not to mention that the human protagonist group is a whole level below the King Kong protagonist.

This new year can still be enjoyable and fulfilling, with a positive outlook and a forward-looking perspective.
