Huayu has been doing one good deed a day since 2001

Chapter 84 A visual feast of mainland idol dramas
National Day.

Li Wenyu was typing in the study of a large apartment with four bedrooms and two living rooms on the North Third Ring Road when he heard Pang Bing walking towards him outside the door.

He didn't care either.

Fat Bing brought two cups of tea, one she placed on his desk and the other she drank from. Li Wenyu asked in surprise, "Why are you drinking this?"

The tea on his table is dodder seed tea, which nourishes the kidneys and even has a slight effect of prolonging life.

There is wolfberry tea in Pang Bing’s own cup.

Fat Bing took a sip of his drink and stared at the computer. "The Martian? You're launching a new book so soon?"

"There's no military parade this year, but it wouldn't be bad for us to go out for a stroll. Honestly, I've never been to a tourist attraction in Beijing in a relaxing way."

Interstellar was published in May and has been a bestseller for five months, with sales exceeding one million in Hong Kong and Macau and nearly 5 copies accumulated in mainland China.

Regardless of how many of these were bought by people in the circle, including how many were bought by students in art schools, the sales were all real money.

Old Li even heard from his father back home that the city's tobacco system had distributed a batch of genuine books to employees as welfare.

To be honest, a child of the tobacco system in a prefecture-level city in the Central Plains has become a world-renowned director, writer, and Chinese science fiction writer.

It's normal to buy a batch of genuine products to support it, right? At least Li's father has become a celebrity in the city's tobacco industry and has a lot of friends wherever he goes.

The August 1st issue of "Slumdog Millionaire" is also showing a steady rise.

He is definitely the most successful bestselling author this year.

Li Wenyu glanced at Pang Bing's wolfberry tea again in silence. "I've considered finishing this book this year and publishing it next year."

"We may consider filming next year or the year after. If we do, the female lead role will be given to you, but whether it will be filmed in the next two years or kept for another ten years is still uncertain."

[The Martian] was originally written by a software engineer at the U.S. National Laboratory. It was a book serialized online in 2009 and attracted the attention of many netizens who paid money to buy it.

Just like the future Dian Niang mode.

After its publication in 2011, it quickly attracted the attention of film and television groups, who bought the copyright.

It is not difficult for Li Wenyu to translate into Chinese now. His writing and screenwriting skills have reached 100 points, which is the limit of human beings.

This movie is about a male protagonist who is good at math, physics and chemistry and can also be an astronaut, and his role accounts for more than half of the film.

The team encountered an unstoppable storm while exploring Mars.

When the male protagonist was rushing to the spacecraft to escape from Mars, the antenna dish was accidentally blown away by the storm with almost zero visibility and lost contact.

In order to protect the lives of several other team members, the female captain gave up looking for the male protagonist and continued to board the spaceship.

After they continued their mission in space, it was only a few months later that they learned that the protagonist was not dead. Then, with the unity of all mankind, they drove the space station back to rescue people.

With scientific research theories and special effects keeping up, Pang Bing plays the leading female role, that is, the captain who first rescues other subordinates to escape from Mars and finally returns to Mars to rescue people. She is in control and there is no problem.

It’s just the super male protagonist who is an expert in mathematics, physics and chemistry and whose main occupation is a botanist. I haven’t decided who to choose yet.

This is a blockbuster film that is praised as a place where liberal arts students can just wait to die while science experts colonize Mars alone.

"The Martian" not only grossed $6.3 million worldwide, but also grossed 5.85 million yuan in China.

It also helped Matt Damon win the Golden Globe Award for Best Actor and be nominated for an Oscar for Best Actor!
Other nominations include Oscar for Best Picture, Best Adapted Screenplay, etc.

At least the actors like Huang Xiaoming, Deng, Hu Ge, Jin Dong, etc. who are currently signed to Time Media? ? They’ll have to wait another ten years to reach that level of acting skills.

No, it’s nonsense. Even if you endure for another ten years, it won’t work.

You can consider getting Leung Ka Fai's contract and continue to invite Ka Fai to be the male lead.

If Pang Bing plays the role, the heroine's presence and weight will be weakened, but being able to make a big splash around the world will still help her become more famous.

In the future, how many big actresses will try their best to get extra roles in Hollywood blockbusters? Isn't it just that they can become stars in international blockbusters?

Fat Bing was startled, then laughed foolishly, "I'm the female lead? Then you can expect me to urge you to update every day. If you don't update quickly, I'll nag you to death."

Li Wenyu looked at Pang Bing's high morale and shrugged, "You'd better keep your word, but I'm still considering this movie..."

He is considering finishing the book and then filming in the 10s.

It's still like "Hero" and "Kung Fu", attracting investment from Columbia, starting filming in 03 or 04, and going to Hollywood to do special effects, which costs a lot of money.

But it can also produce special effects blockbusters from the 00s!
The special effects of The Matrix series and Spider-Man are not bad in this era.

In the mid-10s, The Martian was invested with million US dollars, which of course included the salaries of Hollywood stars such as Matt Damon.

The Chinese version of "The Martian" does not require such high star salaries, but can still attract advertisers with the help of blockbusters.

In addition, the cost of filming in the mainland is cheap, so it is expensive to do special effects in Hollywood?

It seems worth a try...

If such a movie were to start filming, it would take more than half a year to make props and base models, and it would also require support from aerospace units.

Fat Bing didn't care about being stubborn anymore and sat in Lao Li's arms to read the manuscript.

Soon her worldview was shattered. "No, the male protagonist is growing potatoes at the Mars base and using his own rice fields as fertilizer?"

Li Wenyu happened to write about the protagonist finding that food supplies were insufficient, and the super hardcore botanist male lead tried to make his own way to have enough food and clothing.

The next moment, she took another sip of goji berry tea and laughed, "This guy's survival on Mars? It's much more gimmicky than the beach survival in The Shallows."

The male protagonist's rice fields were collected and stored as potato fertilizer. It seemed a bit physically uncomfortable at first glance, but it was a great contribution to the artistic perspective.

She has a strong tolerance for reviewing scripts.

Now the start date of "My Love from the Star" has been set, which is October 10th. Shi Guang will hold a small Internet media launch conference.

Li Wenyu continued typing and asked curiously, "What's the best script you've been offered right now?"

Fat Bing was even more amused. "Director Chen's The Promise? Anyway, in the email sent by Sister Hong, they praised The Promise to be so epic and moving, saying that Director Chen worked hard for years on this script."

"Huayi's mobile phone also gave me 10 million yuan in salary."

"I rejected Wuji three times. Sister Hong still wanted to meet with me for an interview. I felt that based on the script alone, the quality of the mobile phone was slightly better, but I still rejected it."

Now she is overwhelmed by the piles of projects to choose from.

The next moment she asked curiously, "Are you going to promote the 02 Most Beautiful Face in Asia this year?"

She has already had the biggest piece of meat in her mouth, and now she is just eating melon.

Li Wenyu thought for a moment and said, "I'll contact Brother Xiao Ma later to see how much funding he's willing to invest in this project."

"If you only hold one edition and there's no follow-up, the longer it goes on, the less your reputation as Asia's most beautiful woman will be. If you can continue to hold this award ceremony like the Miss Hong Kong and Miss Asia awards, it would be great if you could have one."

"The longer this lasts, the more valuable your title of First Beauty will become!"

Last year it was Zhang Guorong who spent the money, this year it is Brother Ma's turn to pay.

He felt that he could launch the [Overseas Edition of Time Weibo] as soon as possible.

In the beginning, we were short of money and only focused on the mainland market. Now, the royalties from the best-selling books we earn abroad are enough to support our business.

In fact, it is only 2002, and the firewall of China's Internet is far from evolving to its ultimate form. Without climbing over the firewall, mainland netizens can still browse a lot of foreign websites.

It is not too difficult for people outside to see what is happening in the mainland.

If the current mainland version of Weibo has the technology to display IP addresses, it will definitely be able to discover some Hong Kong and Macau IP addresses, including those from Taiwan and South Korea.

So it’s an off-site version?
Since the concept of a large firewall for safe Internet access was proposed in China in the late 90s, it has become the strongest state immediately.

It is always in a state of strengthening.

Especially after joining the WTO, many external networks have begun to be blocked by firewalls.

From 02 to the 08 Olympics, the function of this wall has been continuously enhanced, to protect mainland netizens from accessing the Internet safely, as well as to protect the outside world.

Therefore, more than 20 years later, the reconciliation between ordinary Chinese and American netizens triggered a major mental breakdown and the emergence of various outrageous boomerangs.

In terms of public opinion, there has been no wall that was proposed in the 90s and has been gradually strengthened.

It’s hard to say how it developed.

The current wall is far from its strongest state, so it is necessary to create a special version outside the wall.

Because he created the Time Weibo, not to climb over the wall to see the colors.

Instead, it is the large platform that steadily absorbs more and more registered users and netizens who move freely, which brings Weibo's valuation to a higher peak.

The tuner received a 10% share of the Hong Kong box office, which also contributed to the construction of the overseas version of Weibo.

10% of the box office revenue of "The Tuner" in mainland China has already gone into his personal account.

The distribution of profits in Hong Kong Island will be soon.

Opening a Weibo account that can steadily and steadily attract registered users from Taiwan, Korea, Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, and even Europe and the United States will greatly help and stimulate the IPO valuation. There's no rush, so we can take it one step at a time. With You (The Star) wrapping up filming, The Martian should be finished too, so we can consider publishing and the filming schedule later.

It’s not that Li Wenyu is in a hurry. He has been staying awake for seven days and seven nights, and his energy level has always been at its peak. He then sleeps for a few hours to fully recover.

If you don't find something to do with your energy that has nowhere to go, you'll feel bored and anxious.

…………

On October 10th, there is only one day left until the filming of You Who Came From the Stars begins.

Li Wenyu met the visiting Xiao Ma Ge in his courtyard. He brewed a few cups of hot tea under a large tree in the yard and said with a smile, "Mr. Ma, do you think this is a good time for our internet companies to replace traditional print media, magazines, and even television stations?"

"Tomorrow, Star You will start filming. I have only arranged reporters from Weibo, and invited reporters from Penguin, NetEase, and Sohu."

“Without traditional newspaper or TV station teams, we can still promote it to the public across the entire network.”

Xiao Ma Ge no longer regards Shi Guang Weibo as a great director and talent as he did when they met in 01. After all, South African Newspaper Group has tried to raise funds from Shi Guang Weibo several times.

It's magical that this guy has become an Internet upstart in just one year.

Xiao Ma Ge took a sip of tea and smiled, "Boss Li, do you still want us to use Penguin to promote the TV series launch news? The second Asian beauty pageant, if Weibo cooperates with us Penguin."

"Then the situation can be even bigger. Cooperation is easy to talk about. Who does Mr. Li plan to support this time?"

Penguin is not yet the big company that will be supported by capital in more than ten years.

But he can understand the basic operations of the entertainment industry from a distance.

Li Wenyu laughed, "Let's promote Qin Lan and Gao Yuanyuan this year. My company just signed them, and they're the second and fourth female leads in the new drama."

"We still lack a sense of authority. If we hold an awards ceremony, and contestants from South Korea, India, and even the Middle East come, then this pageant can be considered a higher-level election than Miss Hong Kong or Miss Asia."

No matter how much these two are promoted, no matter how popular they are, they are just supporting roles for Li Jiaxin, the undisputed leading female role.

After Gao Yuanyuan grew her hair long, her mature and beautiful temperament and charm gradually emerged.

Brother Ma smiled and examined Li Wenyu for a few times, then said with a strange expression, "That Liu Yifei from your Beijing Film Academy class of 02, her godfather gave me 300 million yuan so that she could win the title of Asia's Most Beautiful Woman in 02."

Li Wenyu, "..."

Xiao Liu is going for this at the age of 15?
But if you think about it, it's normal that he seamlessly entered the world of "The Golden Age" and "The Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils" before officially entering the campus.

Li Wenyu made another cup of tea for Xiao Ma Ge. "Real estate developers don't really understand the internet. 300 million seems like a lot. It's fine for mainland China, but for overseas releases? The likes of Taiwanese, Korean, Malaysian, Thai, Indian, and Middle Eastern stars are simply not enough."

"If you spend 300 million in real life, you can set off some really big fireworks."

Last year, we hired 100 full-time internet addicts in Hong Kong Island, paying them HK$300 a day, which meant a monthly expense of HK$90. If we hired 500 people, that would be HK$450 million a month.

The prices outside are too expensive!
It is much more expensive than the part-time water army in the mainland.

So last year, even if Gao Yuanyuan, Hu Jing and others wanted to go for the overseas version, they couldn't do it because they had no money. International stars Zhang Ziyi and Yan Zi couldn't afford such expensive consumption.

You don't want to spend that much money but still want good data?
That is Internet data, for example, the organizer Penguin directly modifies the data in the background.

For example, hackers write programs and use plug-ins to register zombie accounts to vote in turns!

At this stage, the Xiang family, Emperor Entertainment Group, and even Brother Rong are basically still hiring water armies with money, or the short mules under the Xiang family bring their own food and serve as water armies to vote.

They also don't quite understand the gray and dark aspects of data from large companies.

Li Wenyu's fitness enhancement to (300/100) has brought out stronger brain evolution and learning efficiency, and he is now.

Mathematics, (56/100).

Computer Science and Technology, (55/100).

Cybersecurity, (58/100).

Software Engineering, (53/100).

……

I have been studying these four subjects for three or four months. I am almost at the passing level in terms of hacking into the computer by typing code or using plug-ins.

Old Li took another sip of tea and complained, "They don't understand, but Mr. Ma, how could you not understand? Last year, they cracked down on registration and voting cheat programs on overseas beauty pageant websites, didn't they?"

"Or maybe the votes were changed by hackers."

Giving the 300 million to Penguin is far less effective than hiring a big hacker or a super hacker to fight the Penguin Security Department.

Xiao Ma Ge said cheerfully, "How can I refuse money that is given to me? Mr. Li, don't worry, we will have a pleasant cooperation. Since your junior sister from Class 02 is not from your company."

"Give me 300 million and I guarantee she'll make it into the top ."

Li Wenyu rolled his eyes and said nothing more.

In the future, Lao Chen spent 180 million to hold a coming-of-age ceremony for Xiao Liu, which was a big sensation. But it was a sin to meet someone like Xiao Ma Ge who had no moral principles.

In the early 00s, one million was really a big number!

The 300 million beauty pageant is just a rumor.

They also discussed the promotion of the Asian beauty pageant by Penguin and Weibo this year. After seeing off Xiao Ma Ge, Li Wenyu called Lao Xu, the security manager of Weibo Department.

He needs to hire two good foreign players, who are also top-tier players, to fight safely with the Penguins.

Come on, there are more plug-in mini-programs, let’s try out the Penguin water.

The top hackers write programs in the mainland, and if used well, the effect is more powerful than hiring 1000 full-time water armies in Hong Kong.

…………

October 10th, went to Shanghai.

Li Wenyu held the press conference for the launch of "Star With You" while being interviewed by a group of internet journalists and media people, with cameras and video cameras filming non-stop.

the whole process.

From Li Jiaxin to even the 16-year-old Jiang Shuying, they are all super eye-catching highlights.

He directly gave Jiang Shuying a pure and beautiful school beauty look. The 16-year-old Jiang played the second female lead Qin Lan in "My Love from the Star" during her teenage years. She rarely appeared in the role and was just a supporting role.

The character's presence is not strong, but with the right costumes and makeup, she is still a pretty girl who can amaze others for a few seconds.

Jin Dong gained ten pounds in half a month as he requested. The first part that gained weight was his belly, but he also gained some weight on his face. He was no longer as skinny as before.

Take some time to rest, for example, concentrate all the scenes of Jin Dong, Jiang Shuying, Qin Lan and others in the post-production stage, and wait for another month before starting filming.

Jin Dong now has the demeanor of an old cadre.

This press conference was a visual feast worthy of a mainland idol drama!!

From Li Jiaxin to Xiao Yang Mi, and then to small characters like Hu Qiang, they all appeared together, all with the most slimming, fashionable and best-looking styles in more than ten years.

The visiting press corps was dazzled!
Many reporters turned into fans and came to ask for autographs and take photos.

The long-haired beauty standing next to Li Jiaxin was still outshined by Sister Xin at first sight. She is the type that doesn’t look stunning enough at first glance, but becomes more beautiful and attractive the more you look at her.

Needless to say, Rosamund Kwan has aged a bit, but her ladylike makeup and styling really bring out the aura of a wealthy wife.

No one asks questions, just how many topics the stars have about their TV series.

I was so amazed by the looks and figures of the main creators that I didn't have time to think too much.

Li Wenyu left the female reporters chasing after his handsome face and figure and walked to the backstage. Fat Bing came over and handed him a bottle of drink. "Tsk, this is really hot."

"These reporters are quite familiar with the entertainment industry and have interviewed many celebrities and crews."

"Even though Weibo's news department was established a little late and hasn't achieved much, I was instantly converted into a fan of its looks. No one else can compare!"

Old Li nodded, feeling both amused and annoyed. "Even the Shamatte style is trending in Hong Kong and Macau. We've kind of ended an era of fashion aesthetics early."

This is the clothing section upgrade that we have been preparing for for several months, and it is absolutely worth it.

He complained again, "The magazine photo shoot you and I took together at the beginning of last year was so eye-catching that I can't even describe it."

If you look at the photos of Yang Mi and Re Yizha when they were models for Ruili during this period, they are really eye-catching, thanks to their good looks.

On the fourth day of the Lunar New Year in 01, Dan Shuangbing appeared on a magazine. That Shamatte style was so disappointing that even someone as pretty as Pang Bing looked like a village girl!
That's not right. It seems to be a photo of Shuang Bing and Jiang Qinqin. It's really destructive. They can make Shou Bing's face look like the internet celebrity Feng Jie. What a mysterious aesthetic.

Yuan Quan in the photo almost looks like a ghost.

As for the handsome F4 group in Meteor Garden, if you go to see their costumes and makeup more than ten years later, they will still look so tacky and low-class.

He could only say that he had signed a 2000 million contract with Yageo. Starting from today when all kinds of beautiful pictures from the press conference went viral on the Internet, Yageo would also follow him, Lao Li, to start the road to success.

Fat Bing's face turned green. "Where did you see those weird magazines? I'm going to buy them all and burn them all."
