Horrible! Actually playing this kind of game!

Although "American Beauty" is not as famous as many Oscar winners, such as "Forrest Gump", "Schindler's List", "Titanic", etc., it mainly expresses and tells the story of self-examination. The spiritual crisis of the middle class,

Through a typical family of three - a middle-class nuclear family, it alludes to a broader social being.

Although the film does not reach the level of exposing the darkness of capital and the destruction of human nature, and the alienation caused by it, it can to some extent reflect some widespread social phenomena in the United States and capitalist countries such as the West.

At least in Qing Zhiyuan's view, it is progressive.

And the core of the message is even better than some award-winning romance or inspirational films.

So even if "The Matrix" didn't win the Best Picture at the 72nd Oscar Film Festival in 2000, Qing Zhiyuan had no regrets.

…

Of course, Qing Zhiyuan didn’t just come here to have a sense of participation.

What's more important is that he can attend the Oscar ceremony and help him get to know more people.

After the show, there was not much time, but Qing Zhiyuan also looked familiar in front of a group of big-name stars and directors, as well as filmmakers and film and television production company bosses.

There were not many Asians in the audience. Among the oriental faces, only Qing Zhiyuan and Lucy Liu stood out, and Qing Zhiyuan was really handsome and charming.

So it is easy to be remembered.

The great success of "The Matrix" last year made the entire Western film and television industry realize the potential of Moon River Company.

Judging from the box office performance, "The Matrix", which has achieved a global box office of 1 billion, has truly achieved commercial myth-making, and even the story and connotation of The Matrix are highly praised.

"Pity,"

After the awards ceremony, Cameron and other major directors found Qing Zhiyuan and shook hands with him cordially.

"Although there are some elements of ridicule," Cameron said, "I actually still like the movie "The Matrix" very much. But the judges have their own considerations and there is nothing they can do about it."

If you want to win an Olympic Award, it is actually best to make literary and artistic films, especially those classical literary and artistic films, such as Shakespeare in Love, which has an epic feel and biographies of characters are also very good, such as "A Beautiful Mind" and "The King's Speech" etc……

If a commercial film really wants to win an Olympic award, it will be somewhat difficult.

Unless it's a player like Cameron who has a strong influence, can be top-notch in all aspects, and has some luck.

"No, I think even though I didn't win the best picture, I have already won 4 awards, so I feel like I have returned home with a full load." Qing Zhiyuan said with a smile.

He was very open-minded.

"Thank you for your unremitting publicity at the award ceremony," Qing Zhiyuan reached out and hugged Cameron.

It seems that in the Best Picture competition, Cameron seemed a bit "stingy". He didn't forget to step on the executives of "The Matrix" and Moon River, and also took a swipe at Nolan, saying The main reason why this movie failed to receive an Olympic Award nomination was that he was not invited to be the director.

Although there are some real elements and factors in it, Cameron's ridicule, seeming complaints and accusations left a deep impression on the audience.

This is positive publicity.

Very remarkable.

It is clearly derogatory but actually praising.

Because "The Matrix" is not bad, it can even be said to be very competitive. It was far ahead in the global box office last year and was very popular.

The audience has a ruler in their hearts, and they will naturally be able to tell what is a good movie and what is a piece of crap.

Because of Cameron, more than 45 million viewers remembered the name of "The Matrix" in front of the TV, and also remembered Nolan's name.

Of course, Qing Zhiyuan was too late to be grateful.

"Ha, so you noticed it?" Cameron smiled awkwardly, and then hugged Qing Zhiyuan the next second.

There is quite a sense of mutual sympathy.

The main reason is that Qing Zhiyuan is so smart and can explain many things easily. Cameron likes smart people very much.

Especially smart bosses.

A smart and thoughtful boss like Qing Zhiyuan can basically become the most powerful help for producers and directors.

This can be seen from the employment and authority of Hitotsubashi Fumi and Nolan.

"I look forward to more cooperation with you in the future." Qing Zhiyuan laughed.

"Me too."

Cameron's movies are always lacking in storytelling and narrative structure, but they are definitely world-class in terms of expression and viewing experience. What he needs is a film and television company like Moon River that can produce good scripts.

It's a bit of a pity not to be able to work with them on the "Matrix" trilogy.

When he heard Qing Zhiyuan's invitation, even if it was just a blank check, Cameron still seemed extremely happy.

…

As soon as he finished chatting with Cameron, Qing Zhiyuan pulled Nolan aside, put his arm around his shoulders and said, "You did a great job this time. I believe you will be able to make movies that surpass "The Matrix" in the future. It’s from the movies.”

"Well, I will definitely do my best and not let you down." Nolan promised seriously, his cheeks turning red.

Fumie Hitotsubashi followed him silently and didn't speak, but sometimes she just laughed a little when she couldn't help it.

On the way back, Fumi Hitotsubashi sat in the taxi and said with a smile:

"Qingsang, you are too skilled at this, aren't you?"

"What? I have no idea what you are talking about."

"First, I chatted with director Cameron and hugged him. The two of them were so happy that you didn't even know what Nolan's expression was like when he was sitting in the corner.

She was just like a resentful little daughter-in-law who saw her beloved husband hooking up with women outside.

The key is that that woman is more beautiful and prettier than me. "

"What the hell?" Qing Zhiyuan frowned. What kind of weird metaphors does this guy use?

"Then, give Nolan another reassurance that she is also very beautiful and I will not cheat on you. I will rely on you to complete the future films." Hitotsubashi Fumie clicked his tongue in surprise, "If I were Nolan, I have to be moved to death.

I guess I have the heart to fight for you. "

"Ahahaha..." Qing Zhiyuan was teased so much that she laughed.

At this point, this guy no longer needed to pretend to be stupid, but tore off his mask.

"You don't understand. This is the so-called art of controlling people. People must be constantly stimulated and motivated in order to reach their 100% potential."

Qing Zhiyuan curled his lips, "Besides, no matter what I said to Cameron or Nolan, it was absolutely from the bottom of my heart and sincere. There was no lie in it."

Fumie Ichihashi pursed her lips and smiled, and gave him an expression like "I'm just going to compliment you and you're still breathing".

However, a hint of resentment in Fumie Hitotsubashi's eyes flashed away, and she looked out the window silently.

"I know, so this is what scares you."

There are really few bosses like Qing Zhiyuan who are full of infinite energy every day and are very hard on themselves. They can make accurate judgments while also finding the right people. They know how to delegate power.

Such people are often very rare in this era and have great influence.

Hitotsubashi Fumi-e couldn't even see words like [Let's stop here] [Time is limited] [It's almost enough] on him.

How far will a man with no limits push the entire world?

This is what really makes Hitotsubashi Fumi very curious, longing for and afraid.

…

The two of them returned to the hotel where they stayed and went to their rooms to sleep.

Just after breakfast the next morning, Qing Zhiyuan asked Hitotsubashi Fumi to go to his room for a meeting.

Hitotsubashi Fumi didn't think much about it, because if Qing Zhiyuan had any undue thoughts about her or had any hints, there was no need for him to do it during the day.

The atmosphere was good last night, and since this trip was a business trip for two people alone, Qing Zhiyuan could have called her into the room at night.

Hitotsubashi Fumi thought that she had no ability to resist at all. As long as Qing Zhiyuan pried a little, she could offer herself to him like Nolan.

In every sense.

It's a pity that this guy is a good man who rides the horse.

And he is the kind who is so single-minded that only Tsuda Nao can attract his attention.

So Fumi Hitotsubashi tossed and turned in bed last night and couldn't fall asleep. He was on call for so long but couldn't receive a call or knock on the door from Qing Zhiyuan. When he woke up in the morning, he was naturally relieved.

Now the boss calls for a meeting, which means it's really a meeting.

…

Sure enough, when he entered Qing Zhiyuan's room, this guy even had his computer and PPT ready.

"Come in, don't close the door." Qing Zhiyuan said.

Hitotsubashi Fumi opened the door with a little regret, and then sat next to Qing Zhiyuan.

"Let's speak Japanese."

As Qing Zhiyuan spoke, he showed it to Hitotsubashi Fumi:

"To put it straight to the point, I now have a plan for an Internet network film and television platform."

"Huh? Online film and television platform?" Fumi Hitotsubashi smoothed the long hair in front of his forehead with his hands, and leaned forward slightly so that he could see the text on Qing Zhiyuan's PPT more accurately.

"Yes, the online film and television platform is somewhat similar to the game platform developed by pokeni."

Qing Zhiyuan said and gestured, "I'm going to call it Yuehe Network."

“Aren’t games already digitized and available online for players to download?

What I envision is to apply the same operation to the film and television field, digitize movies and TV series, and then put them on Yuehe.com for viewers to download.

You can even make some movies or TV series free.

The longer the time, the cheaper the selling price. "

Netflix launched its online streaming service in 2007.

The current network speed may not support online viewing, but Qing Zhiyuan has no intention of providing this service. The first thing he wants to provide is——

Online movie download service.

"Wow……"

After hearing Qing Zhiyuan's idea, Hitotsubashi Fumie couldn't speak for a long time.

She was still thinking about this seemingly crazy idea in her mind.

Much of the film and television content on the market today is provided to viewers in the form of videotapes or optical discs, that is, physical carriers.

Even Netflix actually mails the disc to the corresponding user for free after receiving payment from the audience.

At the same time, Netflix has also launched a VIP membership system. After applying for VIP, users can obtain movies through rental. Even after watching this movie, they can go to the physical store to exchange for other movies to continue watching.

Because it's all free.

Only VIP charges apply.

But such a simple act can already make a company established in 1997 grow into an amazing audio and video product sales chain.

Qing Zhiyuan's idea is undoubtedly a big step forward on this basis.

So after Fumie Hitotsubashi sorted out his thoughts, he was soon deeply shocked by his proposal.

"If we really want to build this online platform, we must first obtain film authorization from major film and television production companies." Hitotsubashi Fumi-e immediately entered into work mode, his brain spinning rapidly.

"And the more, the better, otherwise it would not be enough for this platform to just list Yue He's videos."

People consume movies and TV shows much faster than games.

A game can be played for at least a dozen hours, and at most it can last up to a hundred hours, and can even be played over and over again.

But movies are generally between 2 and 3 hours long.

What’s more, movies are content-based consumption, while games are experience-based consumption. Much of the content consumption is one-time. Once you know the ending, you rarely have the urge to watch it a second time.

Of course, there are exceptions to some very classic movies and TV shows that are deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

TV series may be longer and have a broader and more consistent stickiness.

However, these situations all point to one fact——

If you want to build the film and television platform that Qing Zhiyuan said, you must have a large amount of film and television content to fill it, so it is particularly important to negotiate with film and television companies, large and small, and obtain authorization.

"Bingo!"

Qing Zhiyuan snapped his fingers. What he liked most was Hitotsubashi Bune.

She can get things done as she is told.

"I...I'll do my best." Hitotsubashi Fumie covered his forehead. The idea was good, but the challenge was also great.

After all, Yuehe Company competes with these film and television production companies in a sense.

However, Hitotsubashi Fumie feels that since Qing Zhiyuan can attract so many game manufacturers to join in the game platform, there is no reason why it cannot be done on the film and television platform.

"As long as there is adequate technical support."

"Don't worry, technical support will definitely be in place. I will contact the program department when I get back." Qing Zhiyuan said.

…

At the same time, far away in Neon on the other side of the Pacific, a middle-aged man named Akanishi Ken sneezed heavily in his sleep.

"Ah Zhi, who is cursing me?"

…

After the two of them made a plan, the remaining matters were left to Hitotsubashi Fumi to handle. Qing Zhiyuan left the computer, PPT and related materials to her.

After doing this, he finally showed a bright smile and took Fumi Hitotsubashi downstairs to eat.

In the hotel's buffet restaurant, the two of them each filled up some of their favorite foods.

Qing Zhiyuan's meal is steak and pasta. He is planning to train his abdominal muscles recently.

Hitotsubashi Fumi was worried that her energy would be consumed quickly in the next few days, so she took a few more small cakes.

While eating, chatting.

At the same time, several foreign voices came from the next table.

"Waltfak! Falling again?!"

"Today the Nasdaq fell by 3%, falling for three consecutive days, and fell by almost 10 points."

"It's over, it's over..." The white man in a suit saw the news in the newspaper and covered his face in frustration.

Damn it!

Qing Zhiyuan's knife and fork collided with each other on the plate, making a crisp sound.

He stood up straight and his expression changed drastically.

"What's wrong?" Hitotsubashi Fumi asked cautiously.

"No, it's okay." Qing Zhiyuan waved his hand.

But what I was thinking about was——

The dot-com bubble crisis is coming.

No, in a precise sense, it is already here.

…
