Chapter 862
Regarding the reports of Xinhua News Agency, different people pay different attention to different angles. Ordinary people are concerned about the visits of the chief and the great success of Chinese companies overseas; Zhang Ran’s fans are concerned about Zhang Ran’s guide to the chief and Zhang Ran’s great success in the United States; fans of "Dragon Group" are concerned about the chief’s attitude towards "Dragon Group".
After Marvel established the Marvel Asia Development Center in Lin'an in 2009, it cooperated with SouFox Comic and placed 12 Marvel comics on SouFox's digital platform for everyone to watch for free, among which "Dragon Group" is a key comic recommended.
The Dragon Group is a mysterious organization that often appears in online novels. As long as netizens read online novels, there is almost nothing they don’t know about. In addition, the story of "Dragon Group" is written by a professional screenwriter. The plot is extremely exciting and the painting is excellent. Once it was launched, it has a great response on the Internet. After more than a year of promotion, the "Dragon Group" comic has accumulated a large number of readers in China.
In addition, in recent years, the country has attached great importance to the animation industry and has introduced many support policies. However, in the eyes of most government officials, anime is still a thing for children to watch, which is also an important reason why Chinese animation has never grown up.
So, after seeing the photos of the No. 1 leader holding the comic "Dragon Group", the fans of "Dragon Group" were crazy, and many comic fans went crazy.
"Oh my God! Oh my God! Oh my God! What did I see! Leader No. 1 actually took a photo with the comic "Dragon Group". Is the country going to support "Dragon Group" and support Chinese animation?"
"I'm really excited! If it were really good, if the leader No. 1 could support it, the Chinese comics would definitely be revived!"
"It shouldn't be possible. Chief No. 1 is so busy and has so many big things to deal with. How could he care about anime!"
"That's not necessarily the case. National leaders are also human beings. People will have hobbies. 286 likes to watch martial arts very much. It's not surprising that Chief No. 1 supports China's animation industry!"
"You don't understand it now. The Dragon Group is the fifth group of the Secret Service of the Ministry of Security. This time, the Chief No. 1 visited the US Secret Service and went to the United States. He was responsible for the security work of the Chief No. 5. The expert from the fifth group also followed. Among the bodyguards around Chief No. 1, there are masters of the Dragon Group! The Chief No. 1 took a photo with the Dragon Group comics, which is actually a affirmation of the security work of the Dragon Group!"
"You are talking nonsense. The Dragon Group is an organization in novels and comics. How can it be found in reality!"
"Some things you don't know don't mean they don't exist! Let's say that, do you know the 507 Institute? Do you know the 749 Bureau? You must have never heard of it. Do these institutions no longer exist? Let me tell you, the 507 Institute was established under the promotion of Qian Xuesen and Mr. Qian, and is an institution specializing in superpowers!"
"Damn, I met a great master, please let me know! Is there really a dragon group? They are not as powerful as in the comics!"
"I dare not say too much about some things. If I really say it out, my account will be gone. But I can tell you that there are dragon groups, but they are not as powerful as in the comics. In fact, psychics have been recognized by the government in some Western countries, such as some people who can transform metals. Our country also has research on this aspect. Many mysterious events in China are secretly solved by the dragon group, such as the Rongcheng zombie incident, which was handled by the dragon group!"
"I remembered that when you say that, in 1995, our Rongcheng was really making a big fuss. The troops were dispatched at that time, but they couldn't handle it at all. In the end, I heard that it was the master who took action to suppress the zombies. Unexpectedly, it was the Dragon Group who took action!"
Under the heated discussion of netizens, "Dragon Group" aroused more people's curiosity. After all, even the No. 1 leader liked "Dragon Group" and wanted to see how this comic was. For a time, "Dragon Group" became famous, so search. The click rate of "Dragon Group" comics on the fox anime rolled upwards.
The peak of the century is naturally full of joy. The TV series "Dragon Group" will be released in mid-April. Now with this wave of hot discussion, the attention of "Dragon Group" has been raised. I believe that when "Dragon Group" is broadcast, it will definitely be popular.
After Zhang Ran’s fans learned about the news that Chief No. 1 visited Blockbuster and Zhang Ran accompanied him to visit, they believed that this matter would definitely be on the News Broadcast. So at 7 o'clock in the evening, they sat in front of the TV, waiting to watch the report that Zhang Ran accompanied the Chief’s visit. Fans of "Dragon Group" and some comic fans also stayed in front of the TV, waiting to see the report on the News Broadcast.
Many parents find it strange that their children usually hide when they see "News Broadcast". Why do they take the initiative to look at them today? Many parents reach out and wipe their children's foreheads, not burning!
At 7:10 pm, the News Broadcast broadcast the content of the visit of Chief No. 1 to Blockbuster.
"At 9:30 am local time, Chief No. 1 came to Blockbuster, a subsidiary of Century Peak, for a visit, and was warmly welcomed by the company's employees. Chief No. 1 listened to the report on the development of Century Peak in the United States and affirmed the efforts made by Century Peak to promote economic and cultural exchanges between China and the United States. Chairman Zhang Ran accompanied the visit. During this period, Chief No. 1 entered the company's exhibition hall, stopped to visit the display of various derivatives under Century Peak, had cordial conversations with the company's employees, and asked about the relevant situation from time to time..."
"…Blockbuster was founded in 1986 and is headquartered in Dallas, USA. It was acquired by Century Peak in 2007. According to the Bureaux Economic Impact Report by an independent American agency, Century Peak contributed approximately US$5.6 billion to the US GDP in 2010; it provided more than 40,000 direct and indirect jobs to the United States."
The News Broadcasting report on the trip to the United States of Chief No. 1 for nearly 3 minutes, while the report on visiting Blockbuster was 1 minute and 20 seconds. This time is a very long news report for the News Broadcasting, which only has 30 minutes.
After the broadcast of "News Broadcast", many discussions about Zhang Ran appeared on the Internet. Zhang Ran reported to the leader, Blockbuster's revenue was 5.6 billion US dollars, and Zhang Ran's achievements in the United States. On Weibo, #Zhang Ran's News Broadcast# quickly became a hot topic, was put on the top of the hot search list, and swept the Internet in a short period of time.
"The boss accompanied the leader No. 1 to visit Blockbuster and personally gave a report to the leader No. 1. This is too awesome!"
"This is a must. When the boss visited the state banquet the day before yesterday, he sat at the same table with the leader No. 1 and ***. No matter how Liu Chuanzhi or Ma Yun is, only our boss can do it. This is the boss's influence!"
"Lenovo is not qualified to compete with our boss. It's just a conscience of the American empire. The same high-end version of the United States is actually cheaper than the domestic low-end version. I know that I cheated the Chinese people of money, and our boss directly earned the Americans' money!"
"Yes, "Dragon Group" is two dollars per book in the United States, and it is directly posted online for free in China. The boss is a Chinese with a conscience!"
The film industry is also talking about this. Everyone knows that Blockbuster is specialized in derivatives, but they never dreamed that Blockbuster's annual revenue could reach US$5.6 billion, and US$5.6 billion is RMB 38 billion. The annual revenue of Chinese films in 2010 was only RMB 17 billion. This is too exaggerated!
Many film company bosses have begun to think, maybe we can also try some derivatives!
After CCTV's ratings came out, the person in charge of "News Broadcast" was surprised. In the past two years, the ratings of "News Broadcast" have basically stabilized at around 4%. Due to the fixed audience and the fluctuation is not very large, I didn't expect that the ratings today have exceeded five points.
The person in charge did not know that this was the fan benefits brought by Zhang Ran, so he ran to report to the director excitedly: "The masses are very concerned about the visit of Chief No. 1 to the United States. Today, the ratings of "News Broadcast" were actually a percentage point higher than before!"
Because ordinary people are on "News Broadcast", the ratings of the program have increased by a percentage point, which is extremely rare in the history of "News Broadcast".
Zhang Ran didn't know that he had actually boosted the ratings of "News Broadcast", and of course he would definitely laugh it off even if he knew about it. For many domestic celebrities or directors, it is a great thing to be on "News Broadcast" and represents official affirmation. However, for Zhang Ran, who was elected as the person of the year and was able to sit at the main table at the state banquet, this thing is not very meaningful.
After accompanying the No. 1 leader to visit Blockbuster, Zhang Ran flew to Los Angeles as soon as possible to match Chinese trade groups and American companies. At the same time, he was busy attending various film awards ceremony.
On January 31, the American Directors' Union Awards announced this year's winners in Los Angeles. Zhang Ran defeated David Finch, who directed "Social Network", Tom Hober, who directed "The King's Speech", Nolan of "Inception", and Darren Lenovsky, who directed "Black Swan", and won the Best Director Award.
The American Directors' Union Award has always been the most accurate vane for the Oscar for Best Director. Any director who wins the American Directors' Union Award has almost locked in the Oscar for Best Director in advance. In the 62-year history of the American Directors' Union, the winners have only 6 times different from the Oscar for Best Director.
After winning the Director's Union Award, Zhang Ran undoubtedly became the biggest hit at the Oscar for Best Director Award this year. The only thing that could prevent him from winning the award was the foreign language film "One Man Decoration". Ang Lee won the Director's Union, British Academy Award, and Golden Globe Award for "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon". Almost everyone believed that Ang Lee would create history and win the Best Director, but he eventually lost to Soderbergh, the director of "Drug Network".
On the evening of February 3, at the 22nd American Producers Guild Awards ceremony held at the Hilton Hotel in Beverly Hills, "The King's Speech" unexpectedly defeated the popular "Social Network" and became the best film of the year selected by the Producers Guild.
Since many judges of the American Producer Union are Oscar members, the degree of matching with the Oscars is quite high. In the past 21 years, 14 films that won the Best Picture Award for the Producer Union Award finally won the Best Picture Award. After "The King's Speech" won this award, the Oscars' Best Picture Contest suddenly became a bit more suspense.
On February 13, the 64th British Film Academy Awards, known as the "British Oscar", was held in London. "The King's Speech" relied on its local advantages to win 7 awards, including Best Film and Best Actor. Zhang Ran's "One Man Decoration" won three awards: Best Director, Best Foreign Language Film, and Best Editing.
At this point, all the four major Oscars have been announced. In the competition for Best Director, Zhang Ran has won all four major Oscars, which is closer to the Best Director of Oscars than Ang Lee in 2000!
Although there is still half a month before the Oscars, the discussion on the ownership of the Oscars is already rampant. At this time, almost all media and film critics believed that the biggest suspense of this year's Oscars is who can win the best film "Social Network" and "The King's Speech"; and whether Zhang Ran can create history and win the best director with a foreign language film.
However, Zhang Ran did not have the heart to care about Oscars, because on this day, he received an email from Motorola, and Century Peak was shortlisted for the next round of bidding for Motorola's equity acquisition bidding.
