Chapter 2014 2016 [The East is not bright and the West is bright]
"But Internet piracy is also rampant. Once our TV dramas and variety shows are uploaded to the Internet, they will be robbed everywhere." Shanshan complained to Xiang Nan.
"It's okay, let's release water to raise fish." Xiang Nan waved his hand and smiled, "Do you know why Microsoft allowed Toizaka's Windows system to spread everywhere?"
"Because when people get used to the Windows system, they won't use other operating systems, and Microsoft will unify the operating system?" Shanshan guessed.
"That's right." Xiang Nan nodded, "The Pirates of Windows will indeed cause great losses to Microsoft, but at the same time, Microsoft uses the Pirates to promote and popularize its Windows, but it also allows it to monopolize the operating system.
Monopoly money is the best way to make money. Now more than 90% of computers in the world use Microsoft's operating system, and the licensing fee alone does not know how much it charges.
So the east side is not bright and the west side is bright. Although Robozaka has caused it to lose money, it has helped it make more money in other ways, so it is still beneficial. "
"Then what are our benefits?" Shanshan asked puzzled.
Microsoft is indeed that the east is not bright and the west is bright. If one side does not make money, it uses the other side. But she doesn't understand how ATV can make money from the pirates.
"Traiding can help enhance the reputation of an artist, and if you go to the mainland to perform on stage, you can naturally ask for a better price." Xiang Nan explained.
In real life, when many singers release their records, they even give money to bandit dealers to make their songs into bandits and sell them. Because the speed and sales of goods in Pirates Store are much faster and more than that of regular distributors.
Therefore, with the help of the bandits, it is easier for singers to become popular. Once you gain popularity, you can travel around. A song can cost tens of thousands, and you can earn no less than selling records. In fact, if it weren't for the robbery, many artists wouldn't even be popular at all.
Of course, this does not mean that Robozaka is good. In fact, if there is no Guizaka, the salary alone and the income from selling records are enough for the artist to earn.
But because Pirates knocked down the movie market and the record market, making it impossible for artists to make money filming or singing songs, they considered going on stage and catwalking.
Shanshan nodded, feeling that what Xiang Nan said made sense.
Artists like ATV often receive many invitations from third- and fourth-tier cities, and the asking price is not low, presumably it has something to do with Pirates.
"Remember in the future, those regular video sites will take money if they should take money, and sue if they don't. They have a big business and won't close their doors for copyright fees." Xiang Nan said to Shanshan, "Those If you go to a large-scale Pirates website, you can also sue and let them restrain themselves. As for those small websites, they can’t be cleaned or killed, so let them fend for themselves.”
"I understand." Shanshan nodded, "Catch the big and let go of the small."
"Smart." Xiang Nan laughed.
…
Xiang Nan then asked Zhang Jingchu to meet again.
Zhang Jingchu was born in 1980 and graduated from the Department of Chinese Opera Directing. In 2000, she made her official debut with "Your Life Is So Passionate". After that, she successively starred in "The Sword of the Three Young Masters", "Peacock", "The Bride with Flowery Waist", " "Seven Swords", "Disciple" and so on.
Zhang Jingchu is not only beautiful, but also has outstanding acting skills. Unfortunately, due to some reasons, she has always been half-red and not black. Xiang Nan had seen her act in "Disciple" and "Wu Shuang" before, and she performed really well.
"Miss Zhang, hello~" Xiang Nan shook hands with her.
"Mr. Ning, hello, I have been very fond of you, and I have known you for a long time." Zhang Jingchu said with a smile.
"You are too polite." Zhang Jingchu said flattered at first, she did not expect her acting skills, and there will be a time for Xiang Nanfayan.
"Well, are you interested in taking my role?" Xiang Nan asked again with a smile.
"Mr. Ning, are you serious?" Zhang Jingchu could hardly believe her eyes.
To be able to go to Hollywood to film, of course she is very willing.
"What am I lying to you for? What good is it for me?" Xiang Nan laughed.
"Yes, of course I'm interested." Zhang Jingchu said immediately.
Xiang Nan nodded. He planned to arrange Jackie Chan and Zhang Jingchu to star in "Shanghai Noon 2" after he finished filming "The King of Kung Fu".
"Okay, before filming, you should also receive a period of fighting training." Xiang Nan nodded and said.
…
In the following two months, Xiang Nan practiced fighting skills with Natalie Portman, Zhang Jingchu and others, preparing for the filming to start next year.
At the same time, Universal Pictures is also releasing the movie "Casino Royale 007".
Starring Daniel Craig and Eva Green, this movie tells the story of James Bond when he first debuted.
This is the first time Daniel Craig played 007, because he is not as handsome as Pierce Brosnan, so when it was announced that he would play 007, many fans objected, thinking that he was not qualified to play 007 at all.
But Xiang Nan knew that Daniel Craig's 007 was very successful.
Because Pierce Brosnan has been shooting the first 007 movie "Golden Eye" in 1995, and ten years have passed.
The so-called three-year generation gap, five-year gap, and ten-year gap. Over the past ten years, audience tastes have changed dramatically.
The handsome 007 like Pierce Brosnan is no longer in line with the taste of the audience. This can be seen from the negative reviews of "007: Die Another Day".
In recent years, the rise of "The Bourne Movie" has allowed audiences to see different spy movies. This realistic style quickly won praise from the audience.
Therefore, the style of "Casino Royale 007" is also more realistic. Bond played by Daniel is no longer Iron King Kong, he will also be injured, disgraced, frustrated, and emotionally defeated...
Doing this seems to damage the glorious image of 007, but it makes this character more real, more credible, and easier to resonate with the audience.
So after the movie was released, fans all changed their minds, thinking that although this version of 007 is not handsome, it is very manly and attractive.
With the support of the audience, "007 Casino Royale" was naturally a big hit. The North American box office was 170 million US dollars, and the global box office was 440 million US dollars, which is even higher than Pierce Brosnan's "007: Die Another Day".
It can be seen that Daniel Craig's 007 is still very successful.
The successful replacement of 007 has also continued the vitality of this well-known IP in film history, so the next movie of "007" will be arranged immediately.
However, the plot of "007: Quantum of Solace" is a bit flat, and even the climax scene at the end is very perfunctory. So Xiang Nan is going to rewrite the script to try to make this drama more exciting.
