At first, I just wanted to make money

Shen Xudong is receiving the crew...

The crew of "A Little Thing of First Love" is directed by Su Lun and Yin Ruoxin. After they got together, starting from "Perfect", they shot three chick movies in a row, "Very Lucky" and "Very Surprised"...

The box office of the trilogy is not bad, basically stable at around 1.5 million. Of course, the word of mouth is relatively poor, and the Douban score is below 6 points!
Then, under Shen Xudong's suggestion, the two changed their track—youth film!

The first one is "A Little Thing of First Love".

Of course, it is impossible to shoot according to the original version - Xiao Shui is a junior high school student, and A Liang is a high school student.Let’s just talk about this one, if it was done according to the original version, it probably wouldn’t pass the trial, so it was changed to a sophomore in high school, and the first love is also a secret love...

It tells a wonderful story about an ordinary girl who is inconspicuous in the crowd, and begins to change herself because she falls in love with her monitor.

The final confession chose the day of graduation...

The film is going to be scheduled for the beginning of December—it’s not that I don’t want to release it in November. The November schedule is too tight. “Rise of the Planet of the Apes”, “Fist of the Iron Armor”, “The Adventures of Tintin”, and “Shocking God of War”, four Hollywood blockbusters!
In addition, there are "East Becomes West 2011", "The Military Order of the Female Generals of the Yang Family"...

It will be released in early December!
By the way, in November, the company released "Hello!Mr. Tree" and "Twilight Saga 11", the box office is not so good...

Now... I regret it, because no matter "East into West 2011" or "The Military Order of the Female Generals of the Yang Family", the word of mouth is poor, and the market performance is also in a mess...

"A Little Thing of First Love" should really be released!

However, December is not bad either. This year’s Lunar New Year file has two major productions, “Jinling Thirteen Hairpins” will be released on December 12, and “Dragon Gate Flying Armor” will be released on December 12, with an interval of 12 days in between. It is basically certain to rule the entire Lunar New Year file. Well, then, before "Jinling Thirteen Hairpins" is released, "First Love" should be able to dominate the market.

Although there are "Legend of Hongmen Banquet" by Li Rengang and "Happy Magic" by Huang Baiming...

After "Seeing the Dragon Unloading the Armor", Li Rengang's reputation in the mainland is very bad, even if there is Liu Yifei, he is not afraid!
As for "Happy Magic" - this is a movie that made Huang Zhonglei directly complain about Huang Baiming's stinking idiot: Huang Baiming and Hua Yi signed three movies, and in the end only two movies "Happy Magic" and "The Loyal Yang Family" were released. It was also because of the disastrous box office failure of "Happy Magic", Hua Yi didn't care about "The Loyal General of the Yang Family"...

Pulling back, Shen Xudong chatted with the two directors about youth themes for a while, and then said: "Actually, there are quite a few best-selling books suitable for adaptation..."

Su Lun asked back, "For example?"

""Left Ear", "Secret Fruit", "To Our Perishing Youth", "The Year in a Hurry"..."

"...have you seen it?"

"No," Shen Xudong quickly shook his head: "They collected it, I just remember the name!"

It must be denied immediately...

If they knew that Shen Xudong had read this kind of book and was once obsessed with it, it would be too stupid!
"Youth genre movie..."

Shen Xudong nodded, and by the way, he did some popular science: "In the 90s and [-]s, youth movies were very popular in Hollywood for a while, and Tom Cruise got his start from this kind of movies!"

""Good Boys Are Crazy"?"

"Yes, there is also "Lost Virginity"...However, those are all about sexual liberation. If we make them, the focus is on reminiscence, to reproduce the boyhood of the post-80s and post-90s, and let them return to the past on the big screen... "

While chatting vigorously, the staff came over and told him that Zhang Chaoyang was here!
Shen Xudong was surprised: "Who?"

"Zhang Chaoyang..."

"He's alone?"

"...and his secretary..."

"...Then...I'll go see him!"

Turning to Su Lun and Yin Ruoxin, he said, "You two just go shopping, I have something to do, so I won't entertain you!"

Oh, the leading actor Reba didn't come over...

……

"Mr. Zhang... I have admired him for a long time!"

Seeing Zhang Chaoyang, Shen Xudong greeted him first, and observed secretly...

He's quite tall, why is he quite short in my impression!

Well, it does look a lot like Teddy Robin...

"Mr. Shen..."

Shen Xudong took him to the living room, and the staff made a pot of tea.

"I almost forgot, Mr. Zhang, do you drink tea? I also have coffee here, authentic Blue Mountain coffee beans... just need to be ground into powder..."

"Do you have Blue Mountain coffee here?"

Shen Xudong nodded: "Well, they gave me..."

While talking, he opened the drawer, called the staff, and prepared to ask them to grind coffee. Zhang Chaoyang waved his hand: "I like to do it myself!"

"...Then please do it!"

Shen Xudong doesn't care, he doesn't like coffee...

Sitting on the sidelines, watching Zhang Chaoyang work, while the latter grinds coffee, while talking about his experience of studying in the United States.

However, Shen Xudong remembered the story of Zhang Chaoyang and Chen Xiaowei. Chen Xiaowei was also a female entrepreneur, the former president of Ninth City, and later left to join the entertainment company Orange Sky Company...

The Ninth City is very powerful. During the heyday of "World of Warcraft" (2004-2009), Ninetowns relied on the exclusive agency rights of "World of Warcraft" in mainland China, earning tens of billions of dollars while lying down. cash.

The boss Zhu Jun didn't manage the operation of Ninetowns much.

Anyway, "World of Warcraft" brings millions of turnovers every day, and Blizzard doesn't let Ninetowns intervene in the game content. Zhu Jun has a leisurely time, and leaves the company's daily life to the female president Chen Xiaowei, and runs to play football...

Pulling back, Chen Xiaowei, Shen Xudong met, a very charming woman!
It is said that Zhang Chaoyang hooked up with her when he was in the United States. You must know that Chen Xiaowei was married at the time.

After Zhang Chaoyang returned to China, Chen Xiaowei abandoned her new husband and returned to China with Zhang Chaoyang...

However, during the early stage of Sohu's start-up, it encountered the global recession of Huli. At this time, Chen Xiaowei left Zhang Chaoyang...

Thinking of this, Zhang Chaoyang's story is over: "...In 96, I founded Aitexin Company..."

Aitexin launched Sohu in 98, and then changed its name to Sohu. On July 2000, 7, Sohu was successfully listed on NASDAQ in the United States...

Shen Xudong smiled and nodded: "I have read many reports about you, I know all of them..."

"I've also read some of your reports...I feel like you don't like exposure?"

Shen Xudong shook his head: "I used to enjoy the spotlight of all eyes..."

"and after?"

"I was warned for saying the wrong thing, and I was obsessed with raising horses and fishing at that time, so I didn't pursue these too much at all!"

"Feeding the horse, fishing..." Zhang Chaoyang glanced at him, and then said with a smile: "Then you and Ding Sanshi should get along very well!"

"We can't talk about it!" Shen Xudong shook his head: "In 06, when we first started our game business, we thought about asking NetEase to help us distribute it. The commission was too high, so we simply cooperated with Perfect World. Later, we built a distribution channel with the help of PPTV..."
