Since 1983

"Mr. Xu's place is really hard to find. I first looked for Chaoyang, and then asked a few people before I found out."

"Oh, do you know Lao Zhang?"

"We've known each other since we were in college in the United States."

In a coffee shop near the set, Xu Fei and Xiong Xiaoge sat down.

Before coming, Xiong Xiaoge had made a clear investigation: the domestic film and television tycoon is quite popular with the higher-ups.

More importantly, he is not the kind of old-school businessman, he is very innovative, even more innovative than Americans.

Two words, difficult to deal with!

But then again, it's also very easy to do.

So Xiong Xiaoge cut to the chase and said, "I work at IDG and am in charge of the Asia-Pacific region. I am very optimistic about Sohu's potential and are willing to invest in cooperation."

"Just your family?"

"No, I also know a few Wall Street friends."

"hehe."

The two smiled at the same time, tacit understanding.

Why should the capital invest money in you? Do you really think that you will help the poor and help the young? It's not about making money.

Then how to make money on the Internet, financing and listing, and listing to collect money. The Internet industry in the United States is bursting, and there is no way to grab investment targets in the country, so they can only turn to the East.

And Sohu wants to go public in the United States, if it does not share profits with Wall Street, how can it make money from American investors?

"I will convene relevant parties as soon as possible to make a value assessment for Sohu."

"Actually, there is no need to worry. I heard that the World Computer Expo will be held in Beijing?"

"Yes, next March."

Xiong Xiaoge nodded and said with a smile: "It's a good opportunity, I wish us a happy cooperation."

In a few words and a few words, a major event was decided, Xiong Xiaoge left, and Teacher Xu continued to be busy with filming.

Lions Gate quickly signed a contract with Cactus, and the two parties jointly invested in the "Human Clearance Plan" with a total amount of 3 million US dollars. Then use Lionsgate's distribution channels to split the box office.

Gusta is equivalent to earning two shares of money, distribution fees and account sharing. This was made by Xu Fei. He made this film just to attract allies.

No celebrities are invited at a small cost, everything is kept simple. Xu Fei performed an oriental metaphysics again:

The male protagonist, Gerard Butler, the one in "300 Warriors"; the female protagonist, Naomi Watts, has a miserable life in Hollywood. Next year, she will be evicted by the landlord because she has not paid rent for 3 consecutive months.

Eldest daughter is Amanda Seyfried, 12, well...

This is the sweetness for Lions Gate, and he has to strengthen his strength. His team is scrambling to find targets to perfect the composition of Cactus.

And I'm in contact with two technical geeks, one named Larry and the other named Sergey.

Next September, they will receive $100,000 from an alumnus to start a business called Google in a friend's garage.

Mr. Xu doesn't ask for much. This kind of behemoth will definitely be invaded by Wall Street in the future. It is enough to keep some shares.

………………

In the blink of an eye, the new year passed, and 1997 became 1998.

When Mr. Xu is struggling across the ocean, the country is already preparing for the Chinese New Year.

The Spring Festival is early this year, and January 27 is New Year's Eve. The work schedule of Times Media is very rushed, busy, and the department has various meetings.

All the meetings in the world are presided over by Xu Fei, and now Boss Chen personally participates in the battle.

"This year we have five dramas to be aired, "The Great Master of Tai Chi", "Brilliant Spring Pig Bajie", "Love Through Time and Space", "The Mansion Gate" and "Never Close Your Eyes".

There is another movie "No One Less".

In terms of production, there are "Poor Zhang Damin", "Holding Hands" and "Serious Case Six Group 2". "

"Is it all realistic themes?" Xiao Xu asked.

"There are ancient costumes, there are ancient costumes!"

Watermelon Studio hurriedly raised its hand and said, "Uh, we want to do martial arts this year. The company has never made a martial arts drama before, so we can try it."

"Yes, Taiwan's TV industry has developed to the mainland in the past two years. This year there are at least two martial arts dramas "Little Li Feidao" and "The White-haired Witch". I also contacted the company's actors and wanted Wu Jing and Qinqin to go." One Bit middle road.

"No!"

Xiao Xu was more self-willed than Teacher Xu, and said, "If we want to shoot ourselves, which one have you prepared?"

Buzz buzz!

In an instant, the Watermelon Studio quarreled.

"Hello Gu Long! Strange and treacherous, people can't help themselves in the rivers and lakes, the most martial arts flavor."

"Jin Yong is good, the great man is for the country and the people, and Jin Yong's dramas are the most popular."

"Gu Long doesn't give in too much! Look at our actors, Huang Haibing is suave and suave, obviously Gu Long."

"Jiang Qinqin is classic and dignified, and also suitable for Jin Yong's beauty!"

"Pull it down, classical and dignified still ask her to play "White-haired Witch"?"

"stop!"

Xiao Xu knocked on the table, "Tell me about the difference in production."

"Uh, Jin Yong has a sense of history, so I think he can make big dramas. Gu Long is full of energy and is more suitable for commercial elements."

"Big drama..."

She thought about it for a while, and asked, "What about the New Year's film?"

"This and this!"

Feng Pants hurriedly continued, saying, "I'm thinking of an idea to satirize the flood of advertisements and false propaganda..."

"We are an advertising company!" Xiao Xu rolled his eyes.

"It's not the same, we are a legitimate business, and the film is an artistic satire. It is about a big star who dies, and his funeral becomes the target of advertisers, and all kinds of human farce... probably this is the theme."

"It's a good idea, and I will study it in detail later."

Xiao Xu waved his hand and said, "The production staff go out first."

A group of people cheered up and obediently rolled out of the conference room, leaving the business operation department.

"Report the revenue."

"The actual investment of "The Wind" was 36 million, the final box office was 114 million, and the profit was only more than 10 million. The advertising sponsorship of "Endless" was more than 10 million, erasing the cost. It is still in theaters, with an estimated box office of 38 million Around 18 million profit.

Except for "The Mansion Gate", all 9 TV dramas have been sold. Because of Deng Jianguo's incident, he gave the TV station a profit, and only took 120 million in advertising fees, with a profit of about 70 million. "

"That's 100 million?"

Xiao Xu made a few notes and said, ""Water Margin" has been aired, and the ratings are clear.

Let me remind you that this year national TV stations will become stars, which means that advertising revenue will increase, and local stations will become a force that cannot be ignored.

With money, it is natural to pursue higher. Big dramas like "Water Margin" are no longer rare, and there will be more and more in the future.

Therefore, we also need to transform, and grasp the big and small dramas with one hand. After "Water Margin" is finished, I will hold a film buying meeting and openly compete for "The Mansion Gate"..."

Boss Chen overbearing the CEO: "50 million! I want 50 million!"

…………

"Are you back? Is it cold?"

"I'm freezing to death!"

In the evening, Xiao Xu stomped on the mat at the door of the house, Zhang Li held her hand and breathed out, and covered his face again.

Boss Chen didn't look like he was in the company at all, he collapsed on the sofa and started yelling: "I want to eat here!"

"Uh-huh."

Zhang Li served hot meals, a plate of fried vegetables and a plate of pork belly. Slice the well-cooked pork belly, adjust the sauce, and eat it directly.

One bite, one bite, tsk tsk!

"The great river flows eastward, and the stars in the sky are drawn to the Big Dipper..."

At the end of an episode of "Water Margin" on TV, there is the famous "Song of Heroes". It started broadcasting on January 8 and immediately set off a nationwide boom.

When it came to the episode of Song Jiang's Zhaoan, a buddy smashed the TV angrily, and when it was over, CCTV gave him another one.

Xiao Xu turned to watch the TV, and said, "We have a meeting today, we are talking about making a martial arts drama, do you think it would be good to make it like "Water Margin"?"

"I don't watch martial arts."

"I don't watch it either!"

Xiao Xu chewed the meat, frowned and relaxed, "Forget it, let Teacher Xu have a headache, anyway, I will go to him after a while."

"He worked very hard in America."

"Well, reward him again."

(besides……)
