The black technology empire started with a debt of one billion

Inside the Jingtian Villa in Beijing.

Cao Mang was sitting at the dressing table in the room having a video conference with Fan Liang. Yang Xuejian and Jingtian were lying on the bed sleeping. After two days of indulging, Liu Sisi decided to go home to accompany her fourth brother.

"Mr. Cao, this time the number of global viewers of the Genesis Global Finals reached 1.4 million, which has exceeded the number of viewers of Penguin's League of Legends. Because many players switched to Genesis, the number of viewers of the League of Legends S7 Finals was only 4000 million.

It is expected that the number of players in the PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds finals tomorrow will be at least 8000 million. Ultima and PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds are already the most popular games in the world. "Fan Liang reported.

"How is the development of the Yuanverse game going?" Han Chen asked.

"It is expected to take another 2 years to complete. Metaverse game development is more difficult than imagined. Although we already have the support of the Magic Eye engine, the world of the Metaverse game is too big. In order to speed up the development progress of the game, The R&D department is already hiring like crazy.

As long as there are enough manpower, I believe it can be developed within a year.

In addition, Bangzi has already lifted the ban on our games, and Nexon hopes that we will represent Genesis and PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds to them. "Fan Liang said.

"It's no problem if you want an agent. The fees must be settled monthly. As long as they are willing to settle monthly, the agent can give it to them." Cao Mang said after lighting a cigarette.

Although Cao Mang doesn't like making stick games very much, people have sent money to his door. It would be embarrassing if he didn't want it. Besides, if you don't make money even if you don't make it, then you are not a fool. You use the enemy's money to strengthen yourself. It's the kingly way.

Fan Liang was stunned for a moment when he heard Cao Mang's words. Monthly settlement was a bit overwhelming, and he didn't know if the other party would agree.

But even if Nexon doesn't agree, it probably has to be agreed, because all clubs in Bangzi have switched to Genesis, and Genesis has already become popular with Bangzi. How could Nexon miss this opportunity to make money.

"Okay, Mr. Cao," Fan Liang replied.

"Okay, you can go about your business." Cao Mang said.

At this time, Yang Xuejian had already dressed and came to Cao Mang. She bent down and kissed Cao Mang on the face.

"I haven't been back for three days. Little Nuomi is crying to find her mother. I'll leave the rest of the time to you and Tiantian." After Yang Xuejian finished speaking, he took off his backpack from the hanger and left.

As for Jingtian, he is still lying on the bed pretending to be asleep.

Just the thought of being alone in the villa made her feel a little scared for a moment.

How could she withstand Cao Mang's conquest alone?

"What are you going to do next?" Cao Mang sat on the edge of the bed and lifted Jing Tian's chin and asked.

"I plan to take a short break first and find a teacher to further my studies." Jingtian said, looking at Cao Mang with her blushing face and watery eyes.

"This is indeed a good idea. Your acting skills are really bad. If you still want to be in the entertainment industry in the future, it is very necessary for you to learn more." Cao Mang nodded.

"Your acting skills are poor." Jing Tian rolled her eyes and patted Cao Mang's hand.

"When you finish your studies and want to film, tell me and I'll let Deep Blue Media arrange it for you." Cao Mang pinched Jingtian's cheek and said.

"Yes." Jingtian nodded obediently.

"I'm going to visit Deep Blue Media in the afternoon. Do you want to come with me?" Cao Mang asked.

"I don't have any strength at all. Besides, what's our relationship, I won't go with you." Jingtian said with a look of disgust.

what relationship?
Of course it’s a poker-playing relationship.

Jingtian, the woman who wants to be Cao Mang, is not qualified enough. Besides, there are already enough women in the family. It doesn't matter if she eats them outside. If she takes them home again, there will probably be a fire in the backyard.

In the blink of an eye, it was afternoon.

Deep Blue Media Headquarters.

Tommy and several senior executives of the company stood at the door waiting for Cao Mang's arrival. This was the first time that Cao Mang came here in as long as the company was established, so Tommy took this matter very seriously.

"Ding dong~"

After the elevator bell rang, Cao Mang walked out of the elevator.

"Welcome to Deep Blue Media, boss." Tommy walked forward with two vice presidents and greeted them with smiles.

"Well, let's talk about it after we go in." Cao Mang nodded.

Tommy then took Cao Mang into Deep Blue Media. After one year of development, the number of employees has reached 478. Because Cao Mang often appears at press conferences, many employees recognize Cao Mang.

Because it was Cao Mang's first time to come to Deep Blue Media, it was the first time for many people to see Cao Mang in person, and the female employees all gave Cao Mang flirtatious looks.

Cao Mang quickly arrived at his office under the leadership of Tommy.

After entering Tommy's office, Cao Mang walked directly to the tea table and sat on the main seat of the tea table.

Tommy, Jing Youwen and Ding Yilin, two vice presidents, were also sitting in the guest seats.

"I plan to let you start a new business this time." Cao Mang said after taking out tea leaves from under the table and pressing the boil button.

"Mr. Cao, what kind of business is it?" Tommy asked.

"Short plays are adapted from online novels. They are based on the themes of the Crooked Dragon King, Overbearing President Falling in Love with Me, Rich Family Grudges, Marriage First and Love Later. Each short play is about Do this for 2 minutes. After the production is completed, use Douyin to spread it.

However, the operation method of short dramas is different from that of short videos. This kind of short dramas will be charged on an episode basis. One episode will be charged for playing one episode. The cost of each episode ranges from 20 cents to 70 cents. Of course, users You can also buy the entire series as a package.

It’s like the payment method for online novels. Because the short series focuses on the European and North American markets, you go directly to the United States to create a company and shoot directly in the United States.

You contacted Deep Blue Literature and asked them to solicit short play scripts from outside, and then localize these scripts for filming.

The key point of this kind of short drama is to have one word of fun. Every episode must have something fun. Even if the plot is a little bit stupid, it doesn't matter, as long as the plot is fun enough.

Actors filming short dramas should remember to sign long-term contracts with them to prevent them from raising their filming fees if they become popular. "Cao Mang said.

"Mr. Cao, why don't we try it out in China first?" Tommy asked curiously.

“Because people in China have long been immune to this type of subject matter, and you focus on the European and North American markets, it’s because they haven’t seen these things, and these things are full of freshness for them.

When you are producing, you can contact more sponsors. Short plays are low-cost productions. As long as there are sponsors, they can be produced at almost zero cost.

During production, a 3D camera is used to shoot directly, so that not only a 2D version can be released, but also a naked-eye 3D version can be released. "Cao Mang poured the boiled water into the teapot and said.

"Okay, Mr. Cao, I will make a plan in the next two days and then arrange for people to go there to expand the business." Tommy said.

"Now that the Magic Eye engine has been released, the difficulty of post-production has been reduced. I will invest another 100 billion in Deep Blue Media and let Deep Blue Literature launch an overseas version. Which novel is more popular overseas, you will make it into a film. You can also directly turn a popular domestic novel into a movie. If this novel is also popular overseas, you can save a lot of things.

But there is one thing you must pay attention to when adapting novels into movies. First, the novel adaptation must respect the original work. When adapting, try to invite the author to participate in the filming, so that the novel can be best restored.

Also, the actor's acting skills must pass the test. Don't give me any tricks. Even if you are a little bit sexy, you must have acting skills.

As long as there are martial arts scenes, it is best to ask a martial arts instructor from Hong Kong Island to provide guidance. "After Cao Mang finished speaking, he poured the freshly brewed tea for the three of them.

The emergence of the Magic Eye engine has greatly reduced the difficulty and cost of making fantasy and science fiction movies.

Cao Mang felt that it was time to export a wave of our Chinese fantasy culture to the outside world.

"Okay, Mr. Cao." Tommy nodded like a well-behaved student.

"You can make at least three or five movies for me a year, so that foreigners can see our fantasy culture. They have always been exporting our culture to us, and now we are exporting our culture to them." Cao Mang picked up the teacup and drank. He said after taking a sip.

The three of them were very excited when they heard Cao Mang's words.

It has always been foreigners who have exported culture to us. This time it is our turn to export culture to them. If they do this well, it will not be a problem to open a page of genealogy for them.

"Director Xu is not preparing for the new Legend of Shushan recently. You ask the directors in the company to learn from Director Xu. Director Xu is the No. 1 fantasy film. He dares to say that no one in the second circle dares to say that he is No. [-]. Let them learn from Xu. Director, learn how to make fantasy movies." Cao Mang added after putting down his tea cup.

At this moment there was a knock on the door.

"Boom~boom~boom"

Tommy heard a knock on the door and called in.

Said that Cao Cao Cao Cao arrived.

The person who knocked on the door was none other than Old Monster Xu.

Old Monster Xu also opened the door and came in when he saw Cao Mang smiling slightly.

"Mr. Cao." Old Monster Xu greeted.

"Director Xu, come and sit here quickly." Cao Mang said with a smile.

"I just finalized the actors for the new Shushan Legend. I heard that you were coming to the company, so I brought it over to you for a look." Old Monster Xu sat down and handed a folder to Cao Mang.

Mr. Xu did not use all the original cast members of "The Legend of Shushan" to film "The Legend of Shushan".

He chose William Chan to play Xuan Tianzong, Hei Zaigu was still the role of Dan Chenzi, Gu Lina was the role of Gu Yue, Sammo Hung was still the role of Baimei, Lian Xing was given to a newcomer in the company, and as for the red corpse, she gave Jin morning.

In addition, Old Monster Xu also added a lot of characters to it.

These roles are all performed by stars such as Yang Xuejian, Zhang Yuqi, Zhao Xiaodao, Chen He, Zhang Yi, Huang Daming, Jin Dong, etc. In addition, Mr. Xu also used many old actors from Hong Kong Island, such as Xiao Tiantian Veteran actors such as Mrs. Niu, Zhang Jin, Guo Jinan, and Huang Zongze.

Old Monster Xu can be said to have leveled a bowl of water.

Judging from the cast list, this is definitely a super production.

The estimated production cost of "Xu Laoguai" is 4 million yuan, of which 2 million will be used to pay for the film, and the remaining money will be used to either create real scenes or costume the crew.

As for the direct use of the Magic Eye 3D engine for production in the later stage, the Magic Eye engine charges 10% of the total box office. This money was paid after the movie was taken off the shelves, so Mr. Xu did not include the fee.

"Director Xu, you are the director of Legend of Shushan. You have the final say on who to use and who not to use. There is something else I want to tell you." Cao Mang said that he planned to arrange for the company's director to come to the set to learn from him. Read it again.

"Mr. Cao, this matter is not a big problem. Maybe you can help me a lot." Old Monster Xu said with a smile.

"Director Xu, after filming Shushan Legend, I hope you can become a consultant for the company. In the future, the company will shoot a large number of fantasy movies. Now that we have such an awesome 3D engine, it is time to export our oriental culture to foreigners. Already." Cao Mang poured tea for Old Monster Xu and said with a smile.

"It's no problem if I just serve as a consultant. It's already hard enough for me to film one Shushan legend when I'm old. I won't be able to bear it if I'm asked to film a few more." Old Monster Xu said with a smile.

"The new generation of directors in China are getting better and better than the others. There is no one capable to help me. I feel uneasy. They have no experience in filming movies at all. Look at all the fantasy films they have made in the past few years. Director Xu I'll feel more at ease if you help me." Cao Mang said with a smile.

"Mr. Cao, please leave this matter to me. The actors outside are still waiting for me. I will go out and give them an answer first." Old Monster Xu said.

"Then you go about your business first." Cao Mang said.

Old Monster Xu picked up the tea cup and drank it all before leaving the office. Cao Mang chatted with the three of them for a while before leaving.

Just as the elevator door was about to close, someone pressed the elevator button, and the elevator door opened again.

Standing outside the elevator door was a woman wearing a cashmere coat, a mask and a hat. The big, watery eyes on the mask were very lively. When the woman saw Cao Mang, she was stunned for a moment before entering the elevator.

"Mr. Cao, hello." The woman greeted Cao Mang with a slight bow.

"Who are you?" Cao Mang asked curiously.

Because the other party covered him very tightly, Cao Mang didn't know who the other party was.

"I am an actress in Legend of Shushan, and I play the role of Gu Yue." The woman took off her mask and smiled.

"It turns out to be Miss Gulina. You are very suitable for the role of Gu Yue." Cao Mang replied with a smile.

"Thank you, Mr. Cao, for the compliment." Gulina smiled sweetly.

Because there was nothing to say when the two met for the first time, the atmosphere suddenly became a little awkward. Fortunately, the elevator quickly reached the first floor, and Gulina chose to walk out of the elevator directly.

Along the road of Fusion International Building.

Gulina stood at the door not knowing whether she was waiting for a car or someone.

At this time, a dark blue car drove up and stopped in front of her, and then the passenger window slowly lowered.

"Miss Gulina, where are you going? Do you want me to take you there?" Cao Mang asked.

"I'm going to Fanyue Community, Mr. Cao, are you okay?" Gulina bent over to the car window and asked.

"Get in the car." Cao Mang said with a smile.

Then Gulina opened the car door and got into Cao Mang's dark blue car. (End of chapter)
