Chapter 908 What is Shen Changlin doing? (Part 2)(55)

Da Liu participated in "Xiao Xiaoxianrou" and talked about science fiction with Gao Dageng.

After a show, it was all embarrassing!

In fact, science and engineering men with literary level and good expressive ability like Da Liu basically have a common characteristic, which can be simply summarized as "Lenz's Law".

What is it called Lenz's law?

I just like to argue with others!

Of course, the main reason is that the questions asked by Gaoda are very low-level, such as 'Are you pessimistic about human beings?', 'Do you think human beings are worthy? Are they worthy?', 'What position do you think human civilization has in the universe? ?'

By the way, there is another theory that Dajian often says, 'Great writers are born in small towns!'

He has said before that people from small towns observe fixed people for a long time, which has a great influence on the writer's writing! Those of us in big cities actually don't see people every day, and everyone is in a hurry...

Then Liu Cixin directly retorted, "I think for a writer, it doesn't matter where he is. Even if I am in a big city, I can still concentrate on writing."

That's how short and tight is. He always feels that his own values ​​are universal and correct, and that other people's values ​​will always fit his own. Even if they match even 10%, he will tell a lot of nonsense...

Liu rarely appears on the show, and I am not used to him, especially the sentence "Those who say that human beings are not worthy have probably only watched my "Three-Body Problem", and until the final ending of "Three-Body Problem", I am also very disappointed with the ending of human beings. Optimistic. As long as you look carefully and see the end, you will find that it is a very optimistic ending!'

Fortunately, I didn't find Shen Changlin!

If you go to Shen Changlin and ask, 'Can technology really solve everything? Human nature and morality cannot be replaced by technology...'

Shen Changlin would like to say: Of course technology can solve everything. It is too uncertain to place hope on human nature and morality. For example, a person is quite educated and famous, knows how to create literature and art, and has elegant aesthetics. But who knows that he is drunk? What about driving? Won’t this kill someone? If he is not locked up for half a year, can he have a long memory? With the advancement of technology, there is no such problem. You wave your hand and a self-driving car comes, tells the address and delivers the goods directly home. In the past six months, Prison meals will be saved for the country...

After pulling back, the three of them arrived at the inn. Liu Yan and Yang Xiaomi came out to greet them: "Here we come!"

"...Hello..."

"Sit down quickly, I'll get you a glass of water..."

…

Of course, "Leisure Inn" has had male guests, Hu Ge, Chen Xiao, Yuan Hong, and Yang Yang have all been here!

But those are all acquaintances.

This is the first time Liu Cixin and Guo Fan have met, so Wu Jing is relatively familiar...

Fortunately, Liu Yan is a professional host!

First we talked about the weather, then about the beautiful scenery here, and then we got to the topic: "The three of us went to see "The Wandering Earth" yesterday. It was so exciting!"

"Three?"

"Xiao Mi will come over later, I have some personal matters!"

Shi Shi interjected: "The box office of "The Wandering Earth" is so great. I took a look and it should probably exceed 1.6 billion today, right?"

"I'm very stressed when discussing the box office in front of "Wolf Warrior 2"!"

"Wolf Warrior 2" is currently the highest-grossing film in Asia...

"Before filming, did you ever think that you would achieve today's results?"

"No..." Guo Fan told the truth: "When I took over "The Wandering Earth", the domestic box office record was 1.66 billion for "The Treasure Hunters"... Our entire team didn't know what to do..."

Liu Yan quickly answered: "Then how dare you invest 450 million?"

"The main reason is Mr. Shen's insistence...his exact words: 'There's no point in making small fuss. If you have to do it, do it well! Don't worry about money, I won't be able to spend all the money!'..."

Liu Yan looked at Shi Shi: "How much money does your Mr. Shen have?"

"I don't know...but he spent more than a billion dollars to buy three apps last month..."

"ah?"

"It seems to be related to Douyin's overseas expansion, I don't know the details..."

This matter is that ByteDance wanted to buy Musical.ly. When Musical.ly was doing its angel round, an investor named Fu Sheng invested in it. He had veto power. He raised the price from the ground up and asked for $1.05 billion. He also packaged two Fusheng’s money-losing APP…

If you want to buy Musical.ly, you have to buy those two money-losing apps...

Zhang Yiming was very confused, and Shen Changlin bought it directly for a total price of US$1.13 billion...

In the original time and space, Douyin first relied on Musical.ly to go global. Bringing Musical.ly under its umbrella not only consolidated Douyin's advantage in the domestic market, but also gained an important channel to overseas markets.

With the help of Musical.ly, Douyin has now entered the United States, the United Kingdom, Germany, Italy, Spain and other countries. The cumulative registered users worldwide have reached 240 million, and the global daily active users have reached 20 million. Among them, Musical.ly, renamed TikTok, the platform produces daily Published more than 15 million pieces of UGC content…

Toutiao has formed a comprehensive content matrix overseas, focusing on live broadcasts, short videos and news information.

As for those two apps, they will be disbanded directly!

This matter is widely circulated in the investment rights and Internet fields, but few people know that ByteDance’s major shareholder is Shen Changlin!

Liu Cixin, Guo Fan, and Wu Jing were not interested in this matter. Liu Yan was about to change the topic when Yang Xiaomi came back.

…

After a brief greeting, Yang Xiaomi said: "I watched "The Wandering Earth" yesterday, and then I went home and read the original work...I found that the movie is very different from the novel!"

Liu Cixin said: "It's normal, the original work only has 20,000 words..."

Guo Fan interjected: "In order to make "The Wandering Earth", we specially wrote the chronicle first..."

"chronicle?"

"That's what happens every year..."

Wu Jing also chimed in: "Actually, I wasn't interested in "The Wandering Earth" at first. I was making action movies and didn't know anything about science fiction. It was Shen Changlin who found me and asked me to go to director Guo Fan's studio, and then I I saw a thick pile of concept design sketches... They told me this story..."

"Wait, concept design?"

Guo Fan explained: "Planetary engines, engine transmission tunnels, frozen BJ, Shanghai, etc. all need to be set... because no one has ever seen this thing with their own eyes..."

"...You did it all?"

Guo Fan smiled: "Mr. Shen asked him to either not do things or to do them beautifully. Since we have decided to make "The Wandering Earth", we must make it a benchmark work for domestic science fiction!"

Shi Shi interjected: "...but Chang Lin said that the biggest contributor to "The Wandering Earth" is the director!"

"He is too humble!" Guo Fan shook his head: "Let me put it this way, because of Mr. Shen, our film industry production can be perfected, and the production of "The Wandering Earth" can be so smooth. It only took two years from start-up to release. …because the special effects team is already experienced enough!”

"There were several times when I couldn't hold on any longer, and Mr. Shen would encourage me..."

"I've received a lot of interviews recently, and they all praised me for being great, praising me for spending three years working on a movie, etc... Actually, that's not true. Without Mr. Shen, "The Wandering Earth" would not have been possible!"

Guo Fan continued: "He is the biggest contributor to our movie... If you don't believe it, you can ask Teacher Liu!"

Da Liu was distracted when he heard Guo Fan calling his name and quickly asked, 'What's wrong?'
