Millennium director

"Love Letter" is Wu Yuan's first romance film after seven or eight years, and unlike "Your Name", it is a pure romance film. As soon as the trailer was released, it aroused a very enthusiastic response.

Long before movies were born, love stories have always been the mainstay of artistic expressions such as dramas, dramas, and stage plays.

Love is an eternal topic for mankind.

In the past, Wu Yuan actually made outstanding performances in the field of romance films. That "Love" won an award abroad.

It's just that the audience for artistic films is not as wide as that of commercial films.

Now Wu Yuan has finally made a romantic commercial film that is more suitable for the general audience's baby physique, so you must have high expectations!

"Director Wu, you have to lead the road show this time, but you can't miss it again."

In the general manager's office of Light and Shadow Times, Li Xiaoping rubbed her temples and said, "Of all the directors in the country, you are probably the only one who doesn't pay enough attention to road shows."

"Director Wu, roadshows are still very important to a movie's box office performance, especially for an influential director like you. Everywhere you go, you can attract a lot of support from fans..."

Wu Yuan, who was sitting opposite her, sighed and interrupted: "I know, I will definitely cooperate with the publicity this time."

Wu Yuan really doesn't like road shows. Being a trapeze artist is really tiring.

But this time "Love Letter" can be regarded as his "first" movie in the true sense. Wu Yuan still has high expectations for this movie and is willing to work hard for this movie.

"Have you contacted the team I asked you to contact?"

"Is it a perfect fit?"

Li Xiaoping nodded: "We have been contacted. The company spent two million to invest in this small studio and poached it under the Light and Shadow Group."

"This studio is now affiliated with the company."

"Originally, the head of this studio, Yi Xiaoxing, was a personal blogger on Tudou.com and planned to cooperate with Tudou. However, Tudou seemed not to be very optimistic about his self-made micro-TV series project and refused to cooperate."

"Just in time, we came to our door and provided cooperation channels for Guangying Qvod. It was easy to reach investment cooperation."

Wu Yuan nodded with great satisfaction, "Well done."

Everything is perfect.

This is a miracle of grassroots rise in China’s Internet film and television era.

The founder, Yi Xiaoxing, was originally just a blogger who posted game explanations and complaints on Tudou.com. He was even too embarrassed to show his face. When recording videos, he had to wear a mask made of A4 paper with a big " The word "beast" does not show its face.

At the end of 2011, Yi Xiaoxing, who wanted to be a serious director, resigned from Changsha and came to Beijing to pursue his dream of starting a business.

Together with Fan Jun and Bai Zhongchun from Tudou, he established the film and television studio Wanhetianyi.

If nothing else, this year's phenomenon-level miniseries "Unexpectedly", which has changed the Internet film and television ecosystem, is about to be released.

Originally, this drama was supposed to be jointly produced by Wanhetianyi and Youku.

However, with the presence of Wu Yuan, a fool who has opened up the fog of war, he has naturally been planning to intercept Hu long ago.

When Yi Xiaoxing's cooperation negotiations with Tudou failed and he was about to negotiate with Youku, the joint team of Light and Shadow Times and Light and Shadow Kuaibo intervened first.

Wanhetianyi, who is not even a seedling, is really hard to refuse when faced with the two million offered by Wu Yuan and the in-depth cooperation agreement of Light and Shadow Kuaibo.

In this way, this small studio, which no one knew about its potential yet, and even the three partners themselves did not know where it would be in the future, became a joint venture studio under the Light and Shadow Times.

"So how is the acquisition of Baozou Comics going?" Wu Yuan asked again.

"It went very smoothly." Li Xiaoping nodded: "We have completed the wholly-owned acquisition of the Baozou Comics website and team. According to your request, the Baozou Comics team is already trying to produce the program "Bangzao Comics"."

Rampage Comics is another phenomenon-level miracle in China’s Internet era, but this time the phenomenon appears in the field of talk shows.

"Rampage Comics" can be called the best variety show for the post-90s generation. Its pungent comments and sharp comments made it the most influential talk show on the Internet after its broadcast. It guided Internet culture and was the earliest Internet meme. Manufacturing machine.

My friends and I were all stunned, Zhang Quandan, what on earth did the pangolin say, etc. Internet memes were all created and born in this program.

However, Wu Yuan’s attention to Rampage Comics did not originate from this talk show.

In fact, he had been paying attention to the comic website since the days of Baozou Comics, and was even a loyal fan of its comic website.

Baozao comics, referred to as "baoman", are called gengman in Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan. They are a kind of open-ended comics popular on the Internet.

It is presented in the form of a four-frame comic, but because the painters are not professional painters, the lines are very simple. However, because of its simple drawing and clear effect, it has been widely recognized by netizens and set the tone of Rampage Comics, which is rough but easy to understand. , quickly became popular on the Internet.

Characters such as Wang Nima, Wang Nimei, and Cao Nima were actually born on the Baozou comics website. They were the earliest public characters born in the four-frame Geng pictures created by users.

After that, the Rampage Comics website team started working on the program "Rampage Events".

To be honest, Youku finally survived the subsequent video website war and merged with Tudou. I really have to give a thumbs up to "Rampage Event" and "Never Expected".

The broadcast of these two programs on Youku has attracted a large number of permanent users. Both programs have more than 300 million views on Youku, which can be called a phenomenon among phenomena.

Of course Wu Yuan would not let it go. It would be better to put this phenomenon on the light and shadow show.

After all, he was reluctant to spend money, so it was the most cost-effective act to acquire these two programs at the smallest cost and attract a large number of users and clicks to Light and Shadow Quick Broadcast.

Paying several million in acquisition fees for this is really just a cabbage price.

"The miniseries "Unexpectedly" is expected to be launched on Lighting Express in the third quarter of this year."

"The "Rampage Events" column will be launched on Light and Shadow Express in the fourth quarter of this year."

"However, Director Wu, can this mini-series and talk show really attract users to watch it?"

Li Xiaoping's expression was full of curiosity. Although she faithfully carried out the orders given by Wu Yuan, to be honest, Li Xiaoping really didn't understand talk shows and spoof short films. She really couldn't see the appeal of these two young teams.

It's just that Wu Yuan's past decisions have been proven right countless times, so even if she doesn't understand, she still implements them firmly.

"Haha." Wu Yuan said with a smile: "Just wait and see."

"These two programs will become phenomenal online film and television works. This is an online carnival for the post-90s generation." (End of Chapter)
