Mission Flow

Hupu is a professional straight cultural community website focusing on sports events and daily life. Focus on the NBA, the five major football leagues, games and e-sports, etc.

You can know the classification of users just by looking at the above-mentioned services. 90% of the users in this community are men, and most of them are nerds.

In 2016, Hupu held the first Hupu Goddess Competition. It is voted by users on the Internet, and the method of two-to-two pk promotion is adopted. In the end, Jia-Zhao Min-Jingwen won the championship. The second place is the big dollar.

The third and the fourth are Lin-Win-Ling and Zhang-Shijie-Lin respectively.

Due to Cao Su's intervention, the Tiger Fighting Goddess Competition was brought forward. Of course, given that the Internet at this time is still in the initial stage of the mobile Internet, the number of users is relatively small. But 20 to 30 million user votes are actually enough to explain the problem.

In 2001, 22-year-old Cheng Hang graduated from Tsinghua University and went to Chicago, USA to continue his studies. He likes basketball, and with the original intention of sharing NBA games, he created a basketball forum, which was officially opened to the public on January 1, 2004.

Cheng Hang said: "At that time, I paid $260 to rent the server."

In 2002, the 23-year-old Yao Ming was selected by the Houston Rockets and became the second Chinese player to land in the NBA. At that time, in the 2002 World Cup in Korea and Japan, Chinese football failed to score a single goal. The Chinese people who burst out with great enthusiasm were extremely disappointed and urgently needed a new sports star.

Yao Ming came at the right time. And Dayao's strength is indeed awesome, he played well in the nba, not losing to those stars. A new round of upsurge in basketball in China was also set off.

Of course, after many years, people discovered that the men's football team in 2002 was the pinnacle!

The basketball news on the initial forum was basically translated and written by Cheng Hang himself. For a year and a half, he spent two to three hours a day compiling news that had been missed by the domestic media.

Therefore, in the era of underdeveloped information nine years ago, it had a huge appeal to domestic basketball fans.

Cheng Hang returned to China to start his own business in 2007, and the content of the Hupu community has become more and more diversified, and its reputation among fans is extremely high.

In April 2012, Hupu unified the three independent websites of hoopa, goalhi and hellof1 under the domain name of hupu.

After the integration of the three stations, Hupu turned to the field of e-commerce. Provide users with the purchase service of sports equipment. At the same time, it also provides services such as lottery and games, and has increasingly become an important player in the domestic Internet.

Magic City, Hupu headquarters.

Cheng Hang was in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows of the office, watching the "Goddess Contest" on the Hupu forum with his mobile phone, and the users were enthusiastic. The comments in the forum forum have always remained popular.

"I have to say, this is a genius idea! I heard that the Dragon Ball live broadcast has launched this project in the current major forums such as Tianya, Maopu, Diba, etc., but the Hupu community is the most lively."

"This can be done as a long-term project! Increase the straight man label and straight man culture in the Hupu community."

Cheng Hang thought for a while and called his secretary: "Xiao Liu, make arrangements, I will go to the Bird's Nest to participate in the first live broadcast of Dragon Ball on November 1."

"Okay, Mr. Cheng."

Cao Su rented a house near Beijing Normal University, where he lived with Song Jingying. The employees of the marketing department from Shencheng live in the Home Inn not far away. The entire month of October was busy in the capital.

After receiving Li Hangyi's call to report the situation, Cao Su basically straightened things out, and the preparatory work has been completed so far. it made him feel

In late October, Zhongguancun, in a cafe on the side of the road.

Cao Su and Jia Zihao who came to the capital to meet him met in a cafe.

Thirty-five-year-old Jia Zihao was still dressed as a Confucian businessman in a cloth shirt and shoes, with a medium build and a rosary hanging on his wrist. The driver and the female assistant waited on the side of the street in good order. Beijing and Shencheng in October are completely different temperatures.

Sitting in the quiet coffee shop, Jia Zihao said: "Mr. Cao, luckily he didn't disgrace his fate. I made an agreement with Hua Tsai. He agreed to participate in the first live broadcast of Dragon Ball, but I just need you to deal with it."

He and Cao Su didn't know each other at all! Cao Su and him jointly invested 10 million yuan in "Journey to the West: Havoc in Heaven".

Now Cao Su took advantage of his relationship with Hong Kong capital to invite celebrities to participate in the first live broadcast of Dragon Ball. In other words, it is not bad to have such a business relationship after knowing each other for more than a month.

Cao Su looked at the messages on his mobile phone and asked, "What hand tail?"

Jia Zihao smiled wryly and said, "Given Hua Tsai's status and age, he doesn't take much commercial acting now. So I asked someone to chat with him this time, and he made a request, I hope you, Mr. Cao, can lead a high-quality movie." For a movie, he is willing to take a pay cut to star in it."

To put it bluntly, Hua Tsai still wants to make movies. But as a director himself, he stumbled and made money and lost money. Overall it pays more.

No matter how much money you earn, you can't afford such a toss. Because everyone in the film and television industry knows that in the long run, the bosses who invest in the film and television industry will lose money.

With Hua Tsai's status, it is really unnecessary to play an insignificant role. And there are many competitors for the ecological niche of old drama players. Many directors prefer to use Fa Ge. And there are more old dramas in the mainland. Mr. Wu, who plays Lu Qiaoshan in the latent, his acting skills are really what he looks like.

Cao Su took a sip of coffee and said calmly, "I don't quite understand. What does it mean to control a high-quality movie?"

Jia Zihao smiled and explained: "Mr. Cao, the investment in a movie is getting bigger and bigger, so few producers are willing to fully invest. It's like a project, and a few capitals are brought in to share the risk. Also able to bring various resources to the project.

The "Havoc in Heaven" we cast together is like this. Among the many capitals, there must be one that is in charge, controlling the progress of the entire project. Generally speaking, an initial capital of 30 to 50 million can leverage hundreds of millions of investment.

Of course, you are a newcomer in the film and television industry, so you must not be able to pry it. You have to come up with at least 50 million, and maybe someone is willing to play with you.

As for quality movies. At least it requires a good script, directed by a famous director. Director Feng of Huayi and Hua Tsai collaborated on a New Year film ten years ago. "

Cao Su frowned and said, "Feng Pants doesn't have any good works recently. The box office of "1942" released last year was very poor.

Okay, you reply Hua Tsai, I will start shooting the project within a year, my company invested 50 million. As for whether we can invite famous directors, it depends on the situation. I made sure he had an important supporting role in the project. "

Let's start the live broadcast first, and the 50 million yuan is a trivial matter. However, his current energy is on the live broadcast.

Jia Zihao nodded, "Success. If you spend this amount to cast a movie, Hua Tsai will definitely be willing to come. Mr. Cao, to be honest, if you can gain a foothold in the film and television industry, your live broadcast will also go smoothly!

As long as anyone engaged in the entertainment industry, film and television stars stand at the top of the food chain! If you have the ability to praise people, your anchors will have a head start. "

Cao Su didn't take his foolishness, and said with a smile: "Lao Jia, when investing in film and television, the payment cycle is slow, and the domestic film and television companies have been changing one crop after another in recent years. There is no enduring film and television industry. The company. Huayi Company, the boss of the year, is also showing signs of fatigue.”

He doesn't know much about the entertainment industry, but he can see some things on the surface. It is actors and directors who really make big money. Film and television companies fell one by one, and investors were cheated one after another.

Jia Zihao laughed, and said, "Mr. Cao, you know the mystery of the film once you make it. Then I will leave first. On November 1, I will go to the Bird's Nest to watch the live broadcast."

Cao Su and Jia Zihao shook hands and said goodbye. Then deal with his WeChat messages.

Song Jingying just sent him a bad news: "Brother Cao, Lan Weiwei, the original hostess, can't come. She is filming "The Breakup Master" by Deng Chao."

The male host is good to say. Mr. He, the ace host of Mango TV, was invited.

Cao Su: ""

It's hard to do something.
