Chapter 148 Technological Oligarch 2

The hierarchy division in the entertainment industry:

The first layer is fans, passers-by, members, and shareholders;

The second floor is small companies and ordinary stars;

The third level is the backbone companies and big stars, the top stars, such as those born in the 1970s and 1980s. They debuted early and were lucky to be full of thighs. After they became small stars and became big stars, they opened their own company, participated in financial games, and completed the class leap.

Like Li Lianhua's Hesong, Yang Mi's Jiaxing, Huang Cult Leader, Zhao Feite, etc....

There is also Liu Daidai, who is known to be as quiet as a chrysanthemum and is indifferent to the world. In fact, there were financial supporters in the early days. Later, he opened a husband-and-wife store company, Straw Bear Film, and didn’t he also sell himself as Storm Group to complete the class leap?

It’s just that Storm’s acquisition of Straw Bear was stopped by the China Securities Regulatory Commission, otherwise do you think she won’t cut leeks?

The fourth layer is large companies and platforms.

The fifth level is big capital.

Classes are crossing, people's dreams are more prominent in the entertainment industry.

This set of divisions is very stable. Which level does Zhuang Zhou belong to? On the surface, he should be the second level, but in fact, he has resources beyond the rules of the game - technology.

When you are in the entertainment industry, you need money, people, drama, and platform. No one has ever heard of you need technology.

After all, no one in China will develop a cross-age 3D camera like James Cameron and Sony, and then shoot "Avatar".

Are domestic tycoons short of money? They are not short of money, but they just think that investing in technology is unnecessary. If others succeed in research and development, we can use it.

So when Zhuang Zhou appeared, these people were first surprised. Who believed that acting skills could be done with technology?

And now, this guy who was away from the rules finally broke in.

"From the late 1990s to the early 2000s, the Chinese drama flourished and the golden age. In addition to the influx of external funds, the review system was loose and the director's creative energy was strong, which was also inseparable from the contribution of a group of outstanding professional actors by the art school.

At that time, I used the script to pick actors, and each session could produce several top talents.

In the past decade, the star-making mechanism has changed, and professional background is no longer a necessary condition. Everyone has resources and platforms, and they can praise whoever they want, even if it is a piece of shit.

Professional, non-professional, talent show, tens of thousands of newcomers every year, signing contracts, performing shows, promoting, filming, coaxing, persuading, suppressing, and giving you another sweet date, you share the money, he share the money, everyone is happy. What fears most is the explosion, public relations, apology, suppressing dramas, substitutions, and a whole set of terrible losses...

Until today, the growth rate of fans is not as good as the debut speed of newcomers. Weibo fans look like millions, but you know how much it is.

I always clamor for top trends, how many top trends can there be?

Many viewers don’t want to eat shit anymore, they want to see something real. What you praise may not be popular.”

After Zhuang Zhou finished speaking, he spread his hands: "This is the basis of cooperation, and I just happened to have something real in my hand.

It doesn’t matter if you give it to him, you have acting skills, and he also has acting skills. Fans are willing to spend money, and passers-by are willing to become fans. The reputation, image, value is improved in one-stop.

If it is not popular, I can make him red. If it is red, I can make him even more popular.

What does an artist give? Just a face, Jiang Chuan, Li Weina, Bai Yilin, Yu Tongtong, passerby A, passerby B, who is still important?"

“…”

Silence, short silence.

Today’s celebrities are just vassals of large companies and platforms. How many newcomers a company and platform will launch every year is cost-effective, and how many newcomers are popular?

For example, Gou Hanzhi, Zhao Feite spent a lot of effort to package him and give him his works. It was finally popular, and it exploded, and it was gone in a flash.

Now, Zhuang Zhou's technology will increase the probability of "turning red" and the cost will be reduced.

Therefore, as long as technology and resources reach an agreement, most celebrities are not even considered vassals. At most, they are a name + a face and start to symbolize.

Zhuang Zhou still did not intervene in any class. He directly divided the money outside the rules.

These people were willing to come for a meeting, so they naturally knew what they wanted to do. They exchanged opinions quickly and intensively, and Yao Lin asked questions as the representative:

"Thank you for your cooperation intention, and in principle we are willing to discuss in depth.

But there are two questions at present. One is how much your technology can reach? The other is how much benefit can you bring to everyone? Is it just a face change in film and television dramas?"

"This is actually a problem..."

Zhuang Zhou looked at his "old lover" and smiled and said, "First of all, you are a little cheap and good-looking. The traffic you launched, no matter how it develops, will eventually be attributed to film and television dramas.

Because film and television dramas are the mainstream, and it is easy to operate some financial games.

Now I have taken on most of the risks of traffic in films and TV dramas on my own. Even if they fail, I can easily change my face and minimize the losses.

Just by this, I am qualified to provide you with conditions.

Not to mention, those traffic filming schedules are saved and you are allowed to do variety shows and commercial performances, which is another huge value.

Of course, to show sincerity, I will answer your question.”

Zhuang Zhou signaled to the employee that the employee would manipulate the computer and release a video of more than ten seconds on the large display screen, which was the trailer of "The Black Tide".

“…”

Quiet, quieter.

Everyone stared at the display screen. To be precise, it was Yang Tianbao inside, with an unprecedented, unexpected, shocking and inexplicable expression.

My heart is full of grievances!

This special girl is Yang Tianbao???

Zhuang Zhou paused and said, "What I did for you is version 1.0, which has been upgraded now. This is the latest achievement."

He signaled again that the employee had a few seconds of scene, and a beautiful and cute woman was dancing.

"Who is this?"

"It seems to be Li Qihong."

"She? She should be in her 50s, why is she so young?"

Hiss!

Everyone's hearts were beating wildly. In the moment, the imagination space in their heads was knocked open a door and extended to infinite vastness.

People who don’t know think this technology is so sci-fi. In fact, just check the information a little, you will know that similar technologies have been used and are being upgraded:

For example, "Temini Killer" created a young version of Will Smith performing there, and the audience commented: "This is a digital person who can stand the gaze."

For example, "The Irishman" also created a young version of Robert De Niro, which restored to the image of a 24-year-old young man.

Even Hollywood has done something like "resurrection of the dead".

In 2016, "Star Wars Legend: Rogue One" resurrected actor Peter Cushing, who died in 1994, playing the Death Star Commander Willhof Tarkin.

These technologies can already be done very realistically, the problem is that they are too expensive and some moral criticisms.

So again, all Zhuang Zhou's techniques are not like those of foreigners out of thin air.

"Do you think it's just a face change?

Haha, this is called an upgrade of AI technology!

Do you think working with me is a compromise? On the contrary, I am taking you to make money!"
Chapter completed!
