MTL - Rebirth Starts at 7 Million-Chapter 205 cultural export

Xingyuan's general staff dormitories don't know what Cao Shuai has done during this time, but the executives know it but don't care too much. Compared to investing in a movie, the things they have at hand are much more important.

On the contrary, the outside world also paid special attention to Xingyuan's actions.

After Daily Toutiao launched Toutiao and Neihan Duanzi, the number of registrations and the number of daily active users ushered in another leap.

Although the overall revenue has not increased much because it has to share with the author of Toutiao, the number of users has actually increased a lot.

And Xingyuan is not a single-product Internet company like Weibo. They also have four cards: Xingchao, Games, Xiaopo Station, and Xingyuan Cinema.

Xingchao can still open daily activities with wx55 under the investment of penguin's large resources, and even on working days, it can always beat the wx front line.

The monthly turnover of the game "My Name is MTOnline" is more than 40 million. Although the income of other games is not high, there are many people who can't stand it! These games have attracted a lot of traffic to Xingyuan, and the users of Xingyuan are steadily increasing.

Although Xiaopozhan has never been popular, their basic business is very stable. As the largest two-dimensional cultural exchange website in China, Xiaopozhan almost swallowed the two-dimensional cake.

When Xingyuan first settled in Xiaopo Station, it invested in the acquisition of "One Piece", "Naruto", and "Detective Conan" three full-length animations, which brought the initial traffic to Xiaopo Station.

Later, it actively purchased the copyrights of various short animations, and also formed a good cooperative relationship with the copyright owners of the island countries, relying on various overseas and self-made peripheral sales to basically maintain a balance of payments.

In the whole year of last year, Xiaopozhan only lost more than 400,000 yuan. This is a miracle for a large video website with no members and no advertisements.

Some time ago, a professional organization evaluated some industries of Xingyuan Technology Co., Ltd.

Among them, the market value of Daily Toutiao is estimated to be around 10 billion, the valuation of Xingchao is 5 billion, and the valuation of Xiaopozhan and the game department are relatively general but also around 1 billion respectively.

Generally speaking, an Internet company with a valuation of more than 10 billion is considered a first-tier Internet company.

The market value of Xingyuan Technology Co., Ltd., which owns Daily Toutiao, Xingchao, Xingyuan Games, and Xiaopozhan, must have exceeded 10 billion, and it is a first-line enterprise of domestic Internet companies.

Such a big Internet company suddenly set foot in the film and television industry, and it is difficult for everyone to not pay attention.

If you don’t pay attention, you don’t know, but when you pay attention, you will be shocked. Xingyuan Technology Co., Ltd. has no idea where it has completed an investment in a theater chain.

Moreover, this theater line also intends to follow the business strategy of vertical direct management + franchise to further expand its scale.

In the past, everyone thought that Xingyuan only had Toutiao, Xingchao, games, and Xiaopozhan, these four industries, but there was a fifth industry, and the scale of this fifth industry was not small.

The purpose of Xingyuan's investment in movies this time is obviously not to make money, but to create a sense of existence and tell the entertainment industry that Xingyuan is going to come in and share the cake.

Comparatively speaking, Xingyuan's admission was not high-profile. When Yida entered the venue, it set up a special branch, which was well known to the world.

But even so, this is big news for some companies in the entertainment industry.

After all, the cake is so big, Xingyuan's intervention means that there is one more person to share the cake, and Xingyuan has theater chains in its hands, so it is impossible to exclude them. The best way is to try to maintain a good relationship with Xingyuan. .

Therefore, in just a few days, Cao Shuai received invitations from many entertainment companies.

Cao Shuai did not refuse to answer all the questions. Since he wants to share the cake, he must get to know other people who share the cake, and make a familiar face, right?

Before Cao Shuai didn't get in touch with the entertainment industry, he always felt that this circle was very mysterious and had a sense of being tall. After he really got in touch, Cao Shuai felt a little disappointed.

In the past few days, Cao Shuai drinks and eats with companies in the entertainment industry every day, and there are always some stars to accompany him.

Although I haven't seen any top superstars, some second-tier stars Cao Shuai are not uncommon these days.

As he learned about this circle, he found that the entertainment circle was no different from other circles, and even more valued the exchange of interests. The stars were just like ordinary people, and they were not as glamorous as he imagined.

After Cao Shuai roughly understood the rules of this circle, he did not continue to eat with people from the entertainment company, because it was unnecessary.

While Cao Shuai was busy dealing with the entertainment industry, Xu Jiale's gameplay settings for Clash of Clans had basically been completed, and the art department had already started to make characters.

The overall art of Clash of Clans is mainly based on the style of China, ranging from various towers to various inconspicuous decorations, all with Chinese style, and the characters are no exception.

Of course, the character image cannot have only one style of Huaxia. Li Jingyi has set the corresponding image based on the representative culture of many countries.

The reason for doing this is not to copy the original work. On the one hand, it is because Li Jingyi's painting background is Chinese. If the art style is more Chinese, it will be easier for her to control and the effect will be better.

On the other hand, this game will be the backbone of Xingyuan's game industry. As a Chinese game manufacturer, it would be somewhat inappropriate if its pillar game does not have any Chinese elements.

And Luo Fan also wanted to do some cultural export. In his previous life, Luo Fan heard a very funny thing before he was reborn. The boss of his company in Australia always thought that the Three Kingdoms was the history of an island country.

Because of this, Luo Fan's boss specially invited Luo Fan to dinner and asked him whether the Three Kingdoms belonged to China or Japan.

Luo Fan's boss doesn't have any malice towards Huaxia. On the contrary, he likes this country very much, otherwise he would not apply to come to Huaxia by himself. He really didn't know that the Three Kingdoms belonged to Huaxia.

Because the games, animation works, and Three Kingdoms that he was exposed to since he was very young are all part of the cultural output of the island country.

Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang spoke in the island language, and Lu Bu and Diaochan used the island language to fall in love, so he always felt that the Three Kingdoms was a piece of history of the island country.

This kind of cognition was so common in his circle of friends that he later told his friends that the Three Kingdoms was the history of China rather than the history of the island country, and they thought he was crazy.

Even if Luo Fan's boss came up with the corresponding evidence, they were still dubious.

Some people even have to ask their friends in the island country, and they are willing to believe that the history of the Three Kingdoms is not an island country from the friends of the island country.

Why do Luo Fan's boss and his friends have this misunderstanding?

In the final analysis, it is because of cultural output.
