For the city of Yanjing, among the private entrepreneurs, Li Mu is the only one who would believe such a plan. Otherwise, if anyone else starts investing tens of billions to build a film and television base in Yanjing, the city will definitely think that He's crazy.
Either crazy or stupid.
However, if this project is managed by Li Mu, the nature will be completely different. Judging from Li Mu’s experience in managing all previous projects, he has never failed on any project. Even the American Apple Company has become a success at the price of cabbage. became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Li Mu, which shows the reliability of Li Mu's work.
In addition, Yanjing is currently actively preparing for the Olympics. The first major change that the Olympics will bring to Yanjing is the transformation of its industrial structure. Before the Olympics, almost all of Yanjing's heavy industry projects will be moved out of Yanjing, and at the same time, it will focus on All pollution projects have also been stopped. Under the influence of this general environment, Yanjing now needs to accelerate development in emerging industries and environmental protection industries. The film and television base project is a tertiary industry. In addition to requiring the acquisition of a large area of land, it has great impact on the environment. There is almost no harm. It is an absolute model project for environmental protection and is very in line with the main tone of the current stage.
After the project plan of the film and television base was initially approved by the city leaders, Li Mu began to promote meetings and discussions among the three places in Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei. The discussions among the three places not only required bringing together the leadership teams of the three places, but also invited well-known places from the three places. Enterprises, especially those related to tourism and real estate, participate.
The next step of the project is to take two steps. One is to determine the cooperation intentions of the three places and reach a cooperation plan; the other is to identify partners at the capital level.
The four phases of the entire film and television base are initially expected to take at least eight years to be constructed in phases, with a capital investment of at least more than 20 billion.
When Hengdian reached its later stages of development, the total investment was less than 20 billion. The reason why Li Mu estimated the investment scale for Wanying Film and Television Base at more than 20 billion was because he hoped that the future of Wanying Film and Television Base would not only be bigger than Hengdian. , even more complete than Hengdian. When the time comes, Wanying Film and Television Base will not only have a film and television school, but also a large-scale film and television industrial park. At that time, it will provide certain subsidies and discounts to film and television companies around the world to attract them to settle in, and further Enhance the industrial concentration of Wanying Film and Television Base.
For Li Mu, his task is to personally go out and convince the city leaders to be interested in the film and television base project. Wei Lan is fully capable of doing the rest.
Subsequently, the Wanying Film and Television Base project was officially spearheaded by Wei Lan as the general person in charge, and the project plan was sent to the governments of the three places, well-known enterprises and banks in the three places through public-to-public channels, and the "Wanying Film and Television Base" The concept started its first phase of incubation.
…
Li Mu had already determined with Hunan Satellite TV the time to participate in the recording of the "Longing for Life" program. Since it was in the intensive recording stage of the program, the day before Li Mu's recording happened to be the time when Chen Wan participated in the recording. According to the program recording In sequence, Chen Wan arrived at the scene to start recording the morning before Li Mu, and then Li Mu went there the next morning. Then Li Mu and Chen Wan would complete the recording together for several hours, and then Chen Wan would leave the recording scene.
Chen Wan arrived in Yanjing three days in advance, and Li Mu personally drove to the airport to take her back to Ziyun Villa.
On the way, Chen Wan chatted with Li Mu about their recent work and the recent situation of Xiangnan Satellite TV. Xiangnan Satellite TV has recently focused its main energy in the entertainment direction on "Longing for Life". The program preview has been broadcast on Xiangnan Satellite TV for a week. "Happy Camp" is also paving the way for this program, making this pastoral reality show eagerly anticipated by audiences across the country. A few days ago, the program team released some previews of the filming of the program, those selected interesting clips The audience can’t wait even more.
Due to the high expectations of the audience, the program team of "Longing for Life" has changed the shooting strategy. Now the three resident guests have arranged their time and are preparing to shoot six episodes in Miyun in one go, so that they can start filming next month. When it starts airing, based on the rhythm of one episode per week, six episodes are enough to cover most of the summer vacation.
Since each program and each guest only stayed in the Mushroom House for one night, the total filming time for the six programs was only about ten days at most.
During the summer vacation, "Longing for Life" will be filmed. In the fall, the national auditions and regional promotion competitions for the second season of "Super Girl" will begin. During the winter vacation, the second season of "Super Girl" will be filmed at the national finals. In addition to "Happy Camp", the entertainment program of Shonan Satellite TV "Except for ", the other two entertainment programs all use the program copyright of Makino Image. If "Longing for Life" can become an instant hit, then Makino Image's reputation in variety show planning will be established. Li Mu's next step There are also four ace programs waiting to be gradually released, namely "The Voice", "I Am a Singer", "Where Are We Going, Dad" and the reality show dominance "Running Man".
However, Li Mu is not ready to start these four programs immediately. These programs are all preparations for Makino Imaging’s subsequent development on the TV side. These four programs can be cooperated with any satellite TV station, provided that Makino Imaging must These programs can even be completely produced and filmed by Makino Image themselves, and then, like TV series, they can be co-broadcasted by TV stations. Only in this way can Makino Image's profits be maximized.
Li Mu and Chen Wan are usually busy with their respective jobs, and they are not in the same city, so they don't have many opportunities to meet, and even less after SARS.
Although they talked about their work all the way, when they arrived at Ziyun Villa, as soon as they entered the door, Chen Wan changed her usual gentle and ladylike appearance and frantically pestered Li Mu like a little wild cat. This pestering lasted for half the night.
It wasn't until both of them were exhausted that she curled up in Li Mu's arms obediently, and weakly said to Li Mu: "My parents are in Yanjing now, but they don't know I'm coming today, and I didn't tell them, so I haven’t gone anywhere in the past two days. The day before the recording of the show starts, I will go directly to the office to report.”
Li Mu asked: "Are uncles and aunts in Yanjing?"
Chen Wan nodded and said, "My dad and uncle have been cooperating with Wanying Real Estate. My dad came here often for more than a week. Later, the project in Jinling began to be completed, and he came over. Most of my energy was focused on the real estate in Yanjing. My mother was bored in Jinling by herself, so she moved to Yanjing with my aunt."
Li Mu asked curiously: "Where do they live now?"
Chen Wan said: "House prices in Yanjing have risen so fast, so the two of them bought two small, well-decorated townhouses outside the East Fourth Ring Road. This way they are close to the construction site and more convenient to live in."
After saying that, Chen Wan added: "I didn't tell them to come to Yanjing now. I plan to go there after recording the program and stay with them for a few days."
Li Mu said: "Then I will visit him at home."
Chen Wan smiled happily and said, "Okay, my dad must be very happy. He says you are his boss every day."
Li Mu smiled and said: "We are not bosses, we are partners. When these East Third Ring Road projects are completed, I will find other projects in Yanjing to cooperate with my uncle. In the future, he will no longer have to consider returning to Jinling for development."
Chen Wan raised her head and looked at Li Mu, tapped his lips gently, and said seriously: "I know you are helping my dad like this for me. Even though I am yours, there is no need to be polite to you. Outside, but you must not let him hold you back..."
Li Mu nodded: "Don't worry, I know what's going on."
Chen Wanran smiled sweetly, bit her lip and asked Li Mu in a low voice: "I sweated a lot just now, do you want to take a bath with me?"
Li Mu smiled and said, "You said it, how dare I refuse."
"You know what's going on." Chen Wan blinked and said, "You lie down for a while, and I'll fill the bathtub with water. I'll call you when I'm done."
As soon as Chen Wan entered the bathroom, Li Mu's cell phone rang. The call was from Fang Xudong from the United States. As soon as he got up, he said to Li Mu: "Mr. Li, the internal beta version of Muye search engine is ready to be launched. Do you want to go online in person?" Take a test?"
Li Mu asked him: "Is it a full version using Baidu technology?"
"Yes." Fang Xudong said: "We have made certain adjustments in the UI and product design. The user experience is better than Baidu, but we have not made any technical changes."
Li Mu hummed and said, "I won't read it. I believe you can handle such a thing. Let's go online first."
"Okay, Mr. Li, I will send the invitation code for the closed beta to your email later. If you have time, you can go online and experience it."
"good."
…
Silicon Valley.
It was eleven o'clock in the morning in the United States.
After Fang Xudong finally checked the launch process of Muye Search, he officially issued instructions to officially launch the internal beta version of Muye Search.
The main domain name of Muye search engine is. In addition, Muye&Baidu.Inc also spent 300,000 US dollars to purchase the domain name, and at the same time resolved the domain name to Muye search server, so Muye search has two domain names, regardless of Which one is shorter, better to remember, and easier to type than Google.
Since it is an internal beta, when users access these two domain names, the first thing they open is an announcement page. The page states in English: Muye search is currently in the internal beta stage. You need to activate the internal beta qualification with an invitation code. Due to the activation The code is limited. If you have not received the activation code, please wait patiently for the public beta. Our official version of Muye Search will be available to you soon.
Below the statement, there is an eye-catching input box and Login logo. Users with activation codes can enter the activation code here to bind the local IP and enter the internal testing page.
The news of the launch of Muye search internal testing was not released to the user level. Muye&Baidu.Inc only promoted it on a small scale within the industry, which is also the basic routine for internal testing of most products.
The internal beta invitation code is manually sent by the public relations of Makino Technology. Some companies with cooperation and good relationships will receive the internal beta invitation code, inviting them to experience the first product launched by Muye & Baidu. Inc. Almost every well-known company in Silicon Valley Everyone has received the invitation code, except Google.
Larry Page and a group of Google executives have long known the news that the Muye search engine will start internal testing today, which has kept them in a state of high nervousness. Although this search engine was released by the new company Muye & Baidu.Inc , but since Makino Technology holds 90% of the shares, it is undoubtedly a part of Makino Technology.
The users and traffic of Muye Technology are unparalleled, and the Baidu search engine itself is well-made and its technical strength is relatively good. Therefore, people at Google basically don’t need to look at the internal beta of Muye Search to know that this thing is not bad. Where to go? If the internal beta is over, Makino Technology will probably invest huge resources in promoting this search engine in the next stage. At that time, maybe every page of YY website will have a fixed Muye search box, maybe YY software The new version may also fix a Muye search box on the main interface, or even put this search box in every dialog box, and even allow users to select a piece of content in YY and right-click to automatically search directly on the Muye search engine. Search…
If Makino Technology really opens up all these channels, Google users will be intercepted by YY in all directions. In that case, Google search will usher in the end.
At 11:05 a.m., Larry Page received a call from a friend, who told him: "Larry, the Muye search beta version has been launched. Do you have an invitation code?"
Larry Page said awkwardly: "I don't have an invitation code, and now I'm looking at their prompt interface and don't know what to do."
The other party immediately said: "I have one here for you."
"That's great!" Larry Page said hurriedly: "Finch, you really did me a big favor."
The other party smiled and said: "Why are you being polite to me? Remember the invitation code, F, asterisk, asterisk, K, G, O, 581, 9TH."
Larry Page repeated as he jotted it down on paper: "F, asterisk, asterisk, K, G, O, 581, 9TH."
"That's right."
"OK, thanks Finch, let's have dinner together another day."
After hanging up the phone, Larry Page immediately prepared to enter the invitation code on the computer, while other senior executives were waiting behind him.
At this time, Larry Page looked down at the invitation code he wrote down on the paper and frowned.
There is a series of characters written on the paper: F**KGO5819TH.
Wait a minute, something seems wrong.
At this time, an executive behind him exclaimed: "Shit, do the first six characters of this invitation code mean F*ck-Google?"
One word awakens the dreamer.
One shareholder said with a livid face: "It must be! Damn Makino Technology! They really bullied us too much! Even the activation code is attacking us in a different way!"
Another shareholder said: "We are going to send them a lawyer's letter! At the same time, send these to all the media in Silicon Valley and let them see the face of Makino Technology!"
"That's right!"
"that's right!"
"That's it!"
The scene was already full of anger.
Larry Page stood up at this time and said: "Everyone, what's the point of saying this? One F, two models, one K, one G, one O, it's F*ck-Google? Then Goldman Sachs Don’t you think that the meaning behind this is actually F*ck-Goldman (Goldman Sachs)?”
Everyone looked at each other.
Larry Page said a little irritably: "Everyone, be mature. If we make a fuss about such ambiguous things, we will be ridiculed by our peers. Our top priority now is not to discuss the meaning of the Muye search engine invitation code, but to discuss the meaning of the Muye search engine invitation code." To be clear, Li Mu is going to take serious action against us, and we must think clearly about how to deal with the impact it will bring to us next!"
