Chapter 1058 1158. Magical Beasts
Although the Saturn Awards are over, for many people, this is the beginning of the celebration.
Although "Inception" did not win the award in the end, which made tens of millions of viewers in the live broadcast room feel very regretful, Nie Wei won the best screenwriter, best director and best actor, and Zhang Ziyi won the best As a heroine, these achievements are undoubtedly worth talking about.
Fanxing Live Platform has also begun to prepare for celebrations. Firstly, this is the first time that the peak number of people in the live broadcast room has exceeded 16 million. Secondly, it is also to celebrate its own BOSS.
Naturally, these celebrations cannot be as casual and simple as temporary events. Liu Jing is even planning a carnival with the public relations department, and is planning to hold it for five to seven days and have a good carnival.
"I think our live broadcast platform cannot just let the anchors do whatever they want. As an operating company, we also have to have our own ideas and programs. I saw that the two hosts are pretty good, and I will ask them if they are willing to sign another one. We have signed a hosting contract, and then we will first create a celebrity live interview show. I believe that with the resources of our platform, many celebrities will be willing to come on the show when promoting their new works.”
Liu Jing put forward her own suggestions at the small meeting after the Saturn Awards live broadcast. In fact, she is not good at planning programs. If she really wants to create a top program, she may have to trouble Nie Wei, but for a celebrity talk show like this A very safe attempt indeed.
After all, as long as the celebrity is popular enough and interacts more with fans in the show, people will definitely buy into the show.
Moreover, this can also train the two hosts. It is the easiest and most difficult to make an interview program. It is easy because the protagonist is a celebrity. As long as the problem is not too excessive, it is basically safe. It is also difficult because of this. How can we turn a simple one into a star? Questions and answers become interesting and attractive, which requires the host's adaptability.
Mu Han and Zhen Cong are both eloquent and interactive, but they don't have the professionalism of professional hosts. They are from Yeluzi background. Liu Jing has already made plans. If these two people sign a hosting contract, she will Find a Boeing professional teacher to give them a few classes a week, and then let them take the host certificate test.
If they can really be cultivated by then, the planning of subsequent large-scale programs will be handed over to them.
And in addition to these two people, Liu Jing is also planning to select a few more and train them together. A company cannot always rely on looking for talents from the outside world. It is also crucial to be able to create stars yourself. Relying on such a good platform, Liu Jing feels If the company's executives cannot cultivate a few more stars in the live broadcast industry, then their ability will be questionable, and they are not even as good as pigs.
Liu Jing is currently mainly responsible for the VR technology business. This is a gift left to her by Nie Wei, and it is also a test paper.
After Liu Jing took over as CEO of Fanxing Technology Company, she quickly acquired Baofeng Technology Group and fully took over Baofeng Technology’s VR technology, making Fanxing Technology Company the leader in domestic VR technology.
This action also earned Liu Jing a lot of praise. Some evaluation companies in the industry rated Liu Jing's acquisition as the highest A+, believing that this is another industry-leading acquisition by Fanxing Technology after AI technology.
This means that the company has not placed itself in a comfort zone, but is still pursuing technological advancement.
This positive attitude has also caused Fanxing Technology's stock to rise a lot. Of course, some people are skeptical about this acquisition.
Because today's VR technology is still very immature and in the early stages of development, although the prospects seem bright, no one is sure whether it can persist until the day of harvest.
After all, if you want the technology to mature, you must invest, but if the investment cycle is too long, it will delay the company's development, become an obstacle, and even drag the company down to bankruptcy.
And it’s not like there are no similar examples in the industry. HTC was a major player in the Asian mobile phone market at first, but it later developed VR technology. As a result, it invested step by step but saw no return. The company’s mobile phones also fell into trouble due to lack of funds. A state of technological inadequacy.
If the technology falls behind, it will be beaten. As a result, HTC quickly lost its mobile phone market. It quickly fell from a first-class mobile phone company to a third-rate mobile phone company. However, it spent a lot of money on VR technology but still can’t see the dawn of victory that will pay off. The results are good. A mobile phone giant was on the verge of bankruptcy and liquidation in the end.
There are many similar examples. Every technology that can be called a revolution in the technology world has the skeletons of countless companies as a foreshadowing, including even some world-class large companies. The one who can finally enjoy the fruits of victory must be The best of them even require a little bit of luck.
Therefore, some people feel that there is no need for a social platform as powerful as Fanxing Technology to enter VR technology so early. With so much money, there is nothing wrong with investing in it.
Liu Jing is also under a lot of pressure because of this. VR technology can be said to be the key to her ability to stand firm in Fanxing Technology. Nie Wei gave her this 'throne', but whether she can sit on it in the end depends on how she operates it.
When Mu Han received the notice from the supervisor responsible for him, he was shocked.
After receiving the hosting contract, the company actually wanted to make a talk show for him. This was something Mu Han never expected. After the surprise, what was left was full of surprises.
If it is just live streaming, she has done very well now, but she has also fallen into a bottleneck. This bottleneck comes from both her current personal strength and the limitation of the platform.
Now that the platform is going to launch the first celebrity interview program, she has the opportunity to be the host, which is undoubtedly a career breakthrough for Mu Han.
She is no longer a simple anchor. Although she is still an online host, she has indeed taken a big step forward.
Thinking of this, she nodded without any hesitation and immediately agreed to sign the contract without even asking about the specific treatment. It’s not that she is too brainless, but Mu Han knows very well that this opportunity is rare. Even if the company doesn’t pay, she is willing to take it, because there is only one chance. If she works hard, there is a great chance that she will become the object of the platform’s future support.
The most important thing is that this incident also gave her hope of "breaking the circle".
The so-called breaking the circle, first of all, we have to say this "circle", which refers to the fan circle of some celebrity artists. For example, taking Mu Han himself as an example, the audience watching his live broadcast is her small circle.
But apart from the fans who watch her live broadcast, few people know her. This is the limitation of the small circle.
Many idols have the same problem. In their own small circle, they are like superstars, calling the shots. Any random words will attract countless fans who like them. However, apart from their fans, ordinary people don’t know the names of these artists when asked. This is the performance of not being able to break through the circle.
Only by breaking through this small circle and becoming known by the public can they truly become mature artists.
The best way to break through the circle is naturally to make a movie, which is the most well-known way of publicity. Especially if you play a good TV series or movie, you will have a good performance in it. If you have some outstanding performances, you will be accepted by the public very quickly.
But there were very few such opportunities before. Before the era of traffic, the entertainment industry was actually very resistant to idols, because they were labeled as "vases" by many people. Although they would get the support of fans if they were invited to make a movie, they might also be questioned by the general public.
Moreover, most idol artists are indeed lacking in acting skills and cannot compete with those professional actors through their business ability.
In addition to film and television works, variety shows are the best way to be remembered.
Because of Nie Wei's early intervention, Chinese variety shows have entered the reality show era several years ago, and they are becoming more and more mature. The entire variety show market is even ahead of the entire Asia, and even Europe and the United States are imitating it.
What's more, Mu Han also knows that the Stars Live Broadcasting Platform is Nie Wei's company, and Nie Wei also has the strongest variety show company in Asia.
So Mu Han feels that if he can embark on the path of being a host, he will really have a lot of room for development. Maybe he can become a popular female host like Xie Na in the future.
Thinking of this, Mu Han smiled happily, and then edited a text message to Zhou Duoduo and Huang Ting. Good news, naturally, must be shared with good friends as soon as possible. It is better to share happiness with friends than to be alone.
Zhou Duoduo and Huang Ting saw Mu Han's text message after the training the next morning.
"That girl is going to have her own show?" Zhou Duoduo exclaimed in surprise, attracting the attention of a group of people in the locker room.
Huang Ting, who had also read the text message, and a group of trainees who looked puzzled, explained with a smile: "Fanxing Live is going to produce a celebrity interview program. My and Duoduo's friend Mu Han is one of the hosts of this program."
"Really?"
"Is she the one who was rumored to leave the company to become a host?"
"Hahaha, do you think we will be on her show if we debut in the future?"
"It's very likely."
This news really caused a lot of heated discussion among the trainees. You know, before Mu Han did not become a trainee, but became a host. Many trainees looked down on Mu Han in private, thinking that girls like her only looked at the little benefits in front of them, and had no pursuits or dreams at all.
But today, after Huang Ting's mouth spread the news that Mu Han was going to be a host of a program, some people said that it was none of their business and even made sarcastic remarks, but in fact they couldn't help but envy her in their hearts.
Even if it is a variety show on a live broadcast platform, it is the host who takes the lead.
Compared with Mu Han, who already has his own show, how could the trainees whose future is still uncertain not be envious? At this moment, even some people who originally doubted Mu Han were thinking whether they should also secretly open a live broadcast room and try to be a host to see if they would succeed.
Of course, the fact that Mu Han became a host was only a hot topic among the trainees of Huayi, and it soon passed. The real topic of the people in the past two days was from stars such as Nie Wei and Zhang Ziyi who won the grand prize at the Saturn Awards.
Ten nominations, five trophies, especially Nie Wei, who won three awards alone, set a record for individual awards at the Saturn Awards and was also the biggest winner of the night.
And Zhang Ziyi, who was nominated three times and finally won the honor of Best Actress, these are all news worthy of media hype.
For a while, Zhang Ziyi's reputation in China soared, and some media even began to praise her as the No. 1 actress in China. Nie Wei was even more amazing. The media modestly called him the strongest science fiction director of the year, and those who were not modest simply praised him. If Nie Wei saw those reports, he would definitely not think that they were talking about himself after his name was added, but about James Cameron.
In fact, in many domestic media reports, Nie Wei is indeed on par with big directors such as James Cameron.
But only Nie Wei himself knows that he is still half a step away from Cameron and Spielberg. Although he is not inferior to the previous two in box office appeal and film reputation, he still has too few works and needs to accumulate.
In addition, because of this year's Saturn Awards, many independent theaters have applied to Huayi again, wanting to re-screen the movie "Inception".
Huayi naturally would not refuse this and immediately agreed to the requests of these theaters.
Soon, many people suddenly found that the movie theaters near their homes had started showing "Inception" again. Although most of them were only 2D versions, many people went to the theaters for the sentiment and the recent craze of Nie Wei's award.
As a result, in just one week, Huayi actually received a total of nearly two million box office shares from these theaters, and "Inception", which was re-screened after a long time, even rushed into the box office rankings of the week. Although it was only ranked sixth, it also became a hot topic.
Just when the heat of the Saturn Awards had not completely subsided, another piece of news came from the United States, which directly detonated the domestic film industry.
JK Rowling announced in the United States that her "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" would be filmed by Max Films, and Nie Wei and JK Rowling would serve as the screenwriters of the series of films, and Nie Wei would serve as the director of the entire novel series of films...
When this news came out, not only in China, but also Harry Potter fans all over the world were extremely surprised.
Some people are discussing why JK Rowling suddenly abandoned director David, with whom she had been working before, and some are wondering whether Huayi Max Films and Nie Wei can make this equally classic novel well.
Of course, many people are also looking forward to what wonderful sparks will be created by the cooperation between Nie Wei and JK Rowling.
On the day the news was announced, the public relations phone of Max Films never stopped ringing, all of which were calls from newspapers and magazines asking for interviews with Nie Wei.
However, when these media applied to interview Nie Wei, Nie Wei had already accepted an interview with his own newspaper, the Los Angeles Times, in the Max Films conference room, and explained in detail the reason for his cooperation with JK Rowling this time.
