Like Steven Case, Jimmy was also reading the data report from the Deep Space Tribe Network in his office, but Jimmy was in a much better mood than Steven Case.
Although Yu Dong released "Perfect World" in Deep Space Tribe mainly to increase the number of fans on his own account, after the publication of this novel, the growth rate of new users in Deep Space Tribe has accelerated a bit.
As for the competitor "Online Tribe", Jimmy actually didn't take it too seriously, because based on his observations of this website during this period, he found that Steven Case was still a person who did not have a long-term vision.
In the projects AOL has taken over in recent years, the first priority in development is always profit. They only have money in their sights and do not really take users into consideration.
The online tribe imitates the deep space tribe, but it only looks similar. Their investment in search technology and recommendation technology is not even as much as their investment in art.
In the Deep Space Tribe, users can search for the content they want through the search box. If the website does not have it, the content will be recommended to the user based on user preferences and popularity.
This function seems simple, but in fact it is not easy, and it has cost the Deep Space Company a lot of technical funds.
And even so, Jimmy is still not satisfied. He feels that the current search technology and recommendation technology of Deep Space Tribe are not mature enough.
When Yu Dong was experiencing the search function before, he said that the search function of the website is still very backward, and if you want to retain users, you must work hard on it.
And in the long run, recommendation technology will be more pervasive than search technology.
Because of what Yu Dong said, Shenkong has recently been investing in optimizing its recommendation engine.
In fact, the in-depth development of the recommendation engine is not only for the Deep Sky Tribe, but also for the later layout of the Deep Sky Company in the streaming media section.
In the past two years, Deep Space has not participated in the streaming media war. There are two reasons. On the one hand, Deep Space’s current capital is not able to resist Microsoft and Realworks in a multi-front battle; on the other hand,
Jimmy and his team’s judgment on streaming media is that now is not the best time to enter the market.
Of course, although Deep Space Company has not yet entered the market, technology companies on streaming media decoding have been researching in order to prepare for the development of this sector later. And the technology that Deep Space Company focuses on has always been in the decoding sector.
, so that no one will get stuck in the future.
…
Jimmy turned his attention to the data report in his hand. In addition to the website's new users and daily active data, there was also a special set of data, which was the "Deep Space Star Fan Count Report".
This data was specially listed by Jimmy. It contains stars who have signed contracts with deep space.
This table also has some subdivisions.
Different industries, writers, actors, singers... different professions are separated into different tables.
Different nationalities are mainly divided by language, and Chinese celebrities are also listed in a separate table.
On the list of Chinese celebrities, Hu Jing currently has the most fans.
With the role of Xiao Wanzi, Hu Jing became the first Chinese artist to have more than one million fans. Globally, she was also one of the first artists to have more than one million fans, and the number of fans ranked among the top ten in the world.
Hu Jing can have so many fans, in addition to the support of Deep Space Company, it mainly relies on Motorola. Ever since Hu Jing opened Deep Space Tribe, Motorola has spared no effort to help her build momentum.
In order to help Hu Jing reach one million fans, Motorola generously gave away 20 of its latest mobile phones.
After Hu Jing, Yu Dong ranks second, with a current number of 890,000 fans.
However, according to the current trend of increasing fans, it will not take long for fans to break through one million. I believe that before too long, Yu Dong will surpass Hu Jing and become the Chinese celebrity with the most fans, and even surpass all celebrities and become the star on the entire website.
The person with the most fans.
There is a big gap between the third place after Yu Dong and Yu Dong. The third place Qin Yi has hundreds of thousands of fans.
Although Deep Space Tribe has just started, it is already good to have hundreds of thousands of fans, but as the third star of Deep Space, this number of fans is really not enough.
Jimmy paid special attention to Jay Chou, who was ranked eighteenth.
Not long after Jay Chou opened the Deep Space Tribe account, there is only one tribe in the account to say hello, and there are only more than 8,000 fans.
But it won't take long for Jay Chou's number of fans to increase.
In order to promote the new album in November, Deep Space Company will vigorously promote Jay Chou in the next period of time, and the account of Deep Space Tribe will naturally be the top priority of the promotion.
When Jimmy was thinking about how to promote Jay Chou in the next two months, the phone on the table suddenly rang.
"Hello?"
"Jimmy, it's me."
Jimmy recognized the other party's voice and smiled, "Steven, why did you call me suddenly? You must have been very busy recently, right?"
Spielberg's film "The Evil Dead" was just released at the end of last month. Now is a critical period, and he still has a lot to be busy with.
In addition, Spielberg also serves as the producer of "Shrek" and the director of "The Martian." The production cycle of "Shrek" is very long, which he has to worry about, and "The Martian" is about to start filming.
"I'm currently preparing my outfit for a trip to China. I'm going to stay in China for a long time." At this point, Spielberg suddenly changed the subject: "Last night I read YU's new book "Perfect"
World", very good."
Hearing Spielberg come up with the idea of ​​"Perfect World", Jimmy couldn't help laughing and said: "Steven, "Perfect World" has only serialized the first episode, and the key story has not been released yet. Besides,
You are so busy now, how can you have time to do other things? When "The Da Vinci Code" came out some time ago, you also called for cooperation."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Don't you agree with "The Da Vinci Code"? As for "Perfect World", although I have only read the first chapter, I think it is
It has the potential to be made into a fantasy movie or an animated movie. If you don’t have time to do it yourself, you can leave it to us at DreamWorks," Spielberg said with a smile.
In fact, Spielberg is not sure what the story of "A Perfect World" will be like, but YU's reputation is trustworthy, and he clearly knows that adapting YU's novel will definitely make money.
Of course Jimmy knows what he is thinking and is willing to cooperate with him more, but Jimmy is more cautious in dealing with the IPs currently in the company's hands. Therefore, Spielberg wanted to get the adaptation rights of "The Da Vinci Code" before, but Jimmy didn't.
Agree immediately.
"Let's wait until the serialization of the novel ends." Jimmy smiled and asked: "Are you ready to go to China now? The roads there haven't been repaired yet."
"Well, it will take more than a month for the road to be opened to traffic, and with the construction of the base, it will take another two months."
"How long does the entire filming process take?" Jimmy asked.
"Seventy to ninety days, ideally it would be completed within seventy days, but there are many things that are unpredictable."
"Well, you must be fully prepared when shooting over Mangya. When the time comes, the Deep Space Congress will send several groups of people to assist you throughout the process to ensure that nothing goes wrong."
"Well, there will be no problem." Spielberg paused and suddenly asked, "When the movie starts, will YU be there?"
Jimmy said with some embarrassment, "Well... Steven, this may be difficult. You know, Cheng is pregnant. When "The Martian" started, his child should have just been one month old, so he may not have time. Of course,
I'm sure he definitely wants to go."
Spielberg sighed slightly. If everything wasn't ready, he would have pushed back the shooting time.
In addition to Yu Dong, the original author and screenwriter, Cheng Yanqiu is also the soundtrack director of "The Martian".
Fortunately, the soundtrack for "The Martian" has already been done a little in advance, and the rest can be done later, which won't delay it too much.
Knowing that Yu Dong would most likely not be there when the movie was turned on, Spielberg decided to do the next best thing and said, "If he can't come to start the movie, then he will have to show up when the movie is released."
Jimmy smiled and accepted the matter, "Steven, don't worry about this. Even if you can't start the movie, YU will definitely support the follow-up promotion. You have to know that it's not just you who attaches great importance to this movie.
Our company also has high hopes for this movie, and we have invested real money in it."
Deep Space Corporation initially raised a total of US$75 million for "The Martian," but Spielberg later insisted on adding an additional US$20 million, raising the cost to US$95 million.
However, Jimmy did not agree and only raised the cost to 85 million US dollars. Of the 85 million US dollars, Deep Space Company paid nearly half of it itself.
If "The Martian" fails, Deep Space Company will still suffer heavy losses.
Of course, the chances of this movie being a hit are very slim.
Putting aside everything else, the original work "The Martian" alone can maintain the box office base of this movie. Coupled with the name of the great director Spielberg, this movie is basically destined to be profitable. The key is
How much can you earn.
"Okay, I'll ask you about "Perfect World" later, but you have to promise me that no matter who you give it to in the end, you have to tell me."
Jimmy smiled and said: "I know, I can't remember how many times you have said this. Don't worry, no matter who the copyright of YU is given to in the future, I will let you know."
"That's good."
…
After hanging up Spielberg, Jimmy waited until it got dark and then called Yu Dong. He briefly talked about the recent situation of the Deep Space Tribe and also exchanged plans for Jay Chou's future.
On the phone, Yu Dong told Jimmy not to have too many worries about Jay Chou, just push, and then stop when he can't push anymore.
Jimmy doesn't have any objections to this. After all, it seems that Jay Chou still has great potential, and you won't suffer any loss if you push him deep into the sky.
In fact, after Jay Chou's first album became popular, Jimmy was worried that Jay Chou would be poached. Although Jay Chou's contract with Deep Space was specially signed before, and the conditions given to Jay Chou were very good, and some ties were also made, but he was afraid
There are companies that are crazy enough to offer exorbitant prices to rob people.
However, it turned out that Jimmy was overly worried. Not only was Jay Chou not poached, he didn't even mention raising his salary. The company took the initiative to raise his level.
…
Here, when Yu Dong hung up the phone and was about to wash the dishes, the phone rang again just as he stood up.
Yu Dong turned around to answer the phone again, "Hello?"
Yuliang's voice came from the other end of the phone, "Boss, why did you answer the call so quickly?"
"It's not like I sensed that Mr. Yu is about to call. I'm waiting by the phone."
Yu Liang chuckled and said, "I take it seriously."
"What's the matter with calling you? You're not just trying to make fun of me."
"No, isn't it? The main creator of "Looking for Qin" is coming to Jinling today. Boss, do you want to meet him?"
Yu Dong raised his eyebrows, "Have you never told me about this before?"
"I didn't arrange for them to come over before. It was Xiao Wang who insisted on dragging them to Jinling to play. I thought, since we are coming to Jinling, it's not good if you don't see them."
Yu Dong pondered: "Who are here?"
"Basically all the main staff are here, plus about fifteen or six others."
"So many?" Yu Dong was a little surprised. He thought there were only five or six people, but he didn't expect there to be so many people.
"Well, yes, Gu Zai, Xuan Xuan and other creative staff are all here. Xiao Wang invited them to Jinling, and they were quite enthusiastic. The main reason is that most of them have never been to the Deep Space Park and have heard about it before.
The deep space park is fun, so I just want to go there."
"When will they arrive?" Yu Dong asked.
"I'll be at the Jinling Hotel at about three o'clock in the afternoon. I've made an appointment to go to the Deep Space Company at four o'clock. Boss, please take them over to see you at some time..."
Yu Dong thought for a while and said, "Change the time. Come to Jinyi Lai at 3:30, and then I will go to the park with you at 4:30. Let the canteen prepare it, and we will eat in the canteen in the evening."
"Okay, I'll make arrangements later."
The canteen in the deep space park is not bad at all, and there is also a chef specially invited by the company to serve the private rooms in the canteen.
These chefs are not exclusive to senior executives and are also open to ordinary employees. For department dinners or employee birthdays, you can also book private rooms in the canteen in advance.
Because it is both delicious and affordable, employees are generally willing to treat guests to meals in the canteen. However, there are only so many private rooms, so reservations usually need to be made far in advance.
Yu Dong has always emphasized that employees must be given sufficient happiness. Food is the most important thing for the people. It can be said that eating ranks first in the lives of ordinary people.
If an organization can solve the problem of food, the happiness of employees will definitely improve a lot.
The deep space canteen not only solves the problem of food and clothing for employees, but also considers giving employees more choices. In addition to being full, they can also choose to eat well.
