Rebirth: I Want to Surf

"Video site?"

Milner took a sip of his wine and said regretfully: "Of course, it's a pity that Youtube was acquired by Google and they didn't accept my funds. Youtube's potential is huge, even more valuable than Facebook to some extent, because videos have it special, you know..."

"Yes, the video is special."

Yao Yuan nodded to show his understanding, and said, "You should know that I have a video website with tens of millions of registered users in mainland China, and I own the copyrights of more than 10,000 movies and more than 100,000 episodes of TV dramas."

"Your industry diversity is truly amazing..."

Milner's eyes lit up suddenly, and he hurriedly asked, "You mean to invest in your website?"

"It's an investment, but not the mainland one."

Yao Yuan explained, "First of all, I will use Hong Kong's Golden Harvest to acquire Logue Films, Golden Harvest, do you know? Bruce Lee, Jackie Chan!

After the acquisition, I will create a video website specifically for overseas markets in the name of Golden Harvest. At that time, the mainland can provide it with copyrights, and I can also produce it myself. With the addition of Hollywood's Rogge, we will have a wealth of movies. Source content, after making a certain scale, then attract various capitals, expand the global market, and raise the stock price to enjoy the dividends. "

"..."

Milner was immediately tangled up.

The current video sites are all uploaded by netizens + buying film and television copyrights, but according to the other party’s opinion, we need to build a self-made video site.

There is no precedent.

But he was very tempted, and felt that the project was promising and could cost a lot of money.

"How do you guarantee that your homemade content will be popular?"

"What kind of movies do Russians like to watch?" Yao Yuan asked back.

"Oh, this has something to say..."

Miner paused, very interested in this topic, and said: "Some of our audience, I mean middle-aged and elderly people, they are the first group of people who came into contact with Hollywood, but now they are tired of Hollywood stories.

They would rather watch French literary films, or old Soviet films. There is a 1975 comedy "Tricks of Fate". Movies, I used to be devastated by it.

But those young people, like most young audiences, like to watch exciting action movies, romantic movies, funny comedies, and Hollywood special effects productions... There are also some directors in China who want to develop local industries, you know not now The Soviet Union is gone, they lack money, people, and creativity, so it can only be said that there are occasional masterpieces. "

Yao Yuan listened very carefully, and asked: "Then if when we develop the Russian market, we support them to make a "Chernobyl" movie, do you think anyone wants to watch it?"

Milner was taken aback.

"Or make a film, let me give you an example, make a film in which a few young people travel through time and space and go back to the period of the Great Patriotic War. Do you think anyone wants to watch it?!"

Snapped!

Milner was overwhelmed and said excitedly: "I understand what you mean, you want to do globalization + localization."

"So to speak, how about it, are you interested?"

"..."

Milner was even more moved than before. After thinking for a moment, he asked, "What is the quotation of Roger Pictures?"

"180 million, don't worry, I can at least cut half of it."

"Although my funds are sufficient, I have to be responsible for the funders. The film industry is extremely risky. I can fund the acquisition of Rogge with you first, but you have to prove your ability to make content. We will discuss it later."

"A very reasonable request, I accept."

Yao Yuan nodded, sighing inwardly, what the hell is really a big coin! What the other party meant was to spend tens of millions of dollars to test the waters first, and then continue to invest in video websites after making a few good films.

At the end of the chat, we will end.

Yao Yuan reminded: "One of our games "FarmVille" will be launched soon, you might as well pay attention to it."

"Okay, if you didn't say it, I have forgotten the original purpose..."

Milner shook his head and smiled. He was originally here for the game studio today.

…………

Georgia.

In a house in a middle-class community, Miles, who had just returned from school, had nothing to do.

American universities have Thanksgiving, winter vacation, summer vacation and spring vacation, a total of three months of vacation, now is the winter vacation, Christmas time for family reunion.

Like thousands of children from middle-class families, Miles has sufficient resources for growth, went to a good university, can find a good job in the future, maintain himself in the middle class, or go further.

The American-style "happy education" advocated by the public is aimed at the poor, not the middle class and the rich.

"ha!"

Miles yawned and got up to play on the computer.

He is good-looking, strong, and has many girlfriends. He will be on facebook to see what the girls are up to.

oh! Emily from the cheerleading team went on vacation again, we got back together three times in the last month, once I caught her with Tom from the football team, and once she caught me in the dressing room with Scarlett from the drama club Litie hair removal cream, and once woke up in bed to find their exes lying beside them...

Miles watched and shook his head.

With the rapid popularity of Facebook, everyone seems to have lost a secret place. It can be analyzed from their respective dynamics, who is messing with whom, who is fighting with whom, who is being cheated on, and who is being ridden.

He also posted a news about going home, took a photo, and then ran to the game platform to perform the routines of "Grab a Parking Space" and "Buy Friends", and then found out that a new game "FarmVille" was launched.

Miles clicked in.

I chose the image of a white spirited guy, and then there are several simple terrains to choose from, including plains, riversides, and valleys.

Once selected, the game begins.

I saw a huge piece of land, divided into several small grids, with a dilapidated log cabin next to it, and my character stood in front of the log cabin door.

"You got cauliflower seeds × 10!"

"You got some tools!"

"You got herbicide!"

"The next step is to start planting, but before that, let's repair your dilapidated warehouse!"

According to the guidelines, Miles repaired the warehouse with the tinkling of tools, from a dilapidated log cabin to a simple log cabin, and then used tools to plow the ground, sow seeds, water and so on.

In general, there is no difference, but some details have been added to make the game more "hardcore".

Soon, the cauliflower was harvested.

Sell ​​it for money, sow again, upgrade to unlock new seeds and gameplay...

Miles flipped through the gray content that hadn't been unlocked, and found that he could build a house, dig a pond, buy a tractor, hire workers, open a small workshop, and so on.

oops!

The gene of the manor master soaked in his blood was awakened, and at the same time he was very sorry: why can't he grow cotton? Why are there no black employees? ? ?

Well Georgia!

In the place where the story of "Gone with the Wind" takes place, growing cotton is an old tradition.

When he upgraded again and unlocked the friend function, Miles finally couldn't help but gang up on his girlfriends: "Come and play, you dick!"

(no more!)
