Chapter 805 Future Big IP

In fact, Ren Zhengfei couldn't understand what Meng Qian was betting on at all, but Meng Qian's persistent attitude made Ren Zhengfei choose to remain silent. Whether as a friend or a partner, he suggested everything that should be suggested. What Qian does exactly is Meng Qian's business, and Ren Zhengfei has neither the ability nor the qualifications to teach Meng Qian how to do things.

And when Intel and other companies started to take action, Samsung and Apple's press conferences finally came.

Both Samsung and Apple focused their press conferences on systems and applications this time.

The hardware is really incomparable. The processor of Hongmeng 9 is designed with 10nm+ enhanced AI. Apple and Samsung are only 14nm traditional AI chips.

The camera is even more incomparable. Behind Hongmeng is a company that makes lithography machine lenses. Coupled with AI photography under enhanced AI, it does not know how to compete.

As for the screen, let alone, Samsung has never won, and Apple has no ability to develop its own screen.

So the two companies can only make a fuss about systems and applications.

Apple claims that iOS13 is the most perfect system in Apple's history, while Samsung claims that it has built the best Android system in the world, achieving a highly smooth experience with no delay or lag.

At the beginning of July, the two companies mobilized the greatest strength to get the product online quickly, and they were very busy.

On the contrary, Meng Qian is a little leisurely at the moment, taking Meng Fan to squeeze mud in the office.

"Gu Junhui said you are free these days?" Shen Jiawen came to find Meng Qian after finishing the filming work.

"My nerves have been tense for the first half of the year, and if I don't relax for a few days, I have to see a psychiatrist." Meng Qian called Shen Jiawen over to squeeze the mud together.

"Then do you want to accompany you to Sanya for a few days?"

"I still have to stay in Hangcheng, and I'm waiting for some recent things to happen."

Shen Jiawen nodded and didn't ask too many questions. Meng Qian didn't talk about work matters, she never asked too many questions, "Then are you free on the 10th?"

"Number 10? What's wrong?"

"Tian Xiaopeng's movie is about to be released. He gave me a few tickets and wanted me to join in the show. He also mentioned before that if possible, I hope you can go."

"Tian Xiaopeng?" Meng Qian was a little unfamiliar with this name.

"In the 2009 Spring Festival Gala, we worked with him."

"Oh oh oh, I remembered, I was thinking of poaching him back then, what movie did he make?"

""Journey to the West: The Return of the Great Sage", we also invested."

Seeing that Meng Qian didn't speak, Shen Jiawen continued, "It's true that the publicity in the early stage was very poor, and the market attention was very low. You must have never heard of it. They are now expected to have a box office of 100 million, which is not bad."

"Will Tian Xiaopeng come to the premiere in Hangzhou?"

Shen Jiawen smiled and gave a very realistic answer, "If he knew you were going, he would definitely come."

Meng Qian also laughed, this is the reality, "Idle is idle, so let's go for a walk."

On July 10, Meng Qian brought Shen Jiawen, fully armed and very low-key, to the Hangzhou premiere of "The Return of the Great Sage".

Tian Xiaopeng and other people who knew that Meng Qian was coming knew that Meng Qian wanted to keep a low profile, so they didn't go to Meng Qian before the screening.

Meng Qian took this opportunity to revisit "The Return of the Great Sage". The plot of the movie is basically the same as the previous life, and there is no change. This is within Meng Qian's expectation.

After the movie ended, Tian Xiaopeng went to the stage to express his gratitude. Meng Qian also gave applause without hesitation, but he still didn't show his face. Many people didn't know that Meng Qian had been there until the end.

But Meng Qian agreed to have a meal with Tian Xiaopeng in the evening.

"This movie will be successful." Meng Qian gave his evaluation.

Tian Xiaopeng really doesn't know what kind of achievements "The Return of the Great Sage" can achieve at the moment. It is just a polite remark. After chatting with Meng Qianchang about the development of Guoman for a while, Tian Xiaopeng is obviously a little drunk, talking He was a bit tongue-in-cheek, and he didn't know if it was because of alcohol, Tian Xiaopeng suddenly switched to another topic, "Does Mr. Meng know about "Three-Body Problem"?"

"The Three-Body Problem" became popular after it won the Hugo Award in August 2015. Now, unfortunately, it is July 2015, so Tian Xiaopeng is not sure whether Meng Qian has heard of "The Three-Body Problem".

"I've seen it." Meng Qian directly gave the most straightforward response.

Tian Xiaopeng's face showed a hint of joy, "Then I wonder what Mr. Meng thinks of the work "Three-Body Problem"?"

"The overall framework is a bit interesting, and it also fits China's creative cultural environment very well. There are some well-regulated places, but there are also some surprising places. Why did Director Tian suddenly mention this matter?"

Tian Xiaopeng suddenly smiled awkwardly, "I have something to say. Mr. Meng just mentioned that Dafeng Group has been working on the science fiction section in recent years. I suddenly thought of this matter. I thought it would be difficult for me to have any more This is an opportunity to sit and eat with Mr. Meng, so I want to mention this matter."

"Who knows what will happen in the future, but Director Tian has something to say first."

"Lao Liu, oh, the author of "The Three-Body Problem" and I are old friends, so I have always paid close attention to one thing, and that is the filming of "Three-Body Problem".

In 2009, director Zhang Fanfan bought the copyright of "The Three-Body Problem" and began to prepare for the shooting of "Three-Body Problem". A lot has happened in the past two years, and the follow-up production has encountered some troubles. "

"What trouble?"

"The follow-up production of "Three-Body" requires a lot of money, especially in recent years, "Three-Body" has become more and more famous, and the market and readers' requirements for "Three-Body" are also increasing. Director Zhang can't find it now. satisfied investor

He recently asked for 200 million yuan, and the result is that those who have money don’t understand "Three-Body Problem", and those who understand "Three-Body Problem" have no money. If this continues, "Three-Body Problem" will probably be shelved with a high probability. A strong team will take over, but someone from the US side has already come to discuss this matter.

But Lao Liu told me that he did not want to hand over "Three-Body Problem" to the American team for filming. Their black and white personal heroism would destroy "Three-Body Problem". He still wanted to find a capable team in China to make it Filming on The Three-Body Problem continues.

And this team is not only rich and talented, but also has some. More far-reaching influence. "

"What does Mr. Zhang mean?"

"Audit issues are also something that needs to be considered."

Meng Qian looked at Tian Xiaopeng, who was drinking a little too much, "So you hope we can take over the "Three-Body Problem" project? But writer Liu should come to talk to me about this matter. Why did Mr. Zhang come to talk about this?"

"Old Liu really wants to see Mr. Meng, but it's not easy to meet Mr. Meng." Tian Xiaopeng spoke very honestly, "I feel it's a pity. I think "Three-Body Problem" is a very good science fiction theme, and it is a very good Huaxia. The theme of science fiction, because as Lao Liu said, the cultural core of "Three-Body" is definitely the core of Chinese culture, which can clearly reflect the difference between Chinese culture and Western culture.

I think if our Huaxia team can make a good film of "Three-Body Problem", it may usher in the era of science fiction movies in China."

Seeing Tian Xiaopeng's sincerity, Meng Qian also asked a very practical question, "It's not easy for you to meet me, but it's easy to get in touch with Dafeng Entertainment, right? Why don't you talk to the person in charge of Dafeng Entertainment."

Tian Xiaopeng smiled wryly, "We looked for it and were declined."

"Rejected? Why?"

"Perhaps, our demand for "Three-Body Problem" is too high. After all, "Three-Body Problem" is not so famous, but if "Three-Body Problem" is shot as a low-budget film, it is really not as good as not shoot."

"So we are the company that has money but doesn't understand The Three-Body Problem."

Meng Qian laughed at himself, but Tian Xiaopeng was taken aback, "Mr. Meng, I...I didn't mean that."

Meng Qian didn't expect Tian Xiaopeng to be frightened by his joke, so he patted him on the shoulder, "Director Tian doesn't need to be so restrained, it's just a joke."

Meng Qian actually understood the reason for the company's refusal. It's not that the people in the company have no vision, but that the company has its own sci-fi movie that it plans to release in the past two years, and it's also rushing to open the door to China's sci-fi movie.

"Three-Body Problem" may be good in the eyes of the company team, but after all, it has not yet reached the level of popularity in the next few years. The company has its own sci-fi works, so there is really no reason to spend too much money on "Three-Body Problem". After all, if "The Three-Body Problem" was really in the hands of Dafeng Entertainment, Dafeng Entertainment would not make a 200 million film. Such a subject would cost 2 billion anyway, so it would be somewhat unnecessary.

Looking at Tian Xiaopeng's expectant eyes, Meng Qian deliberately asked, "If we are willing to accept the "Three-Body" project, how about the copyright of "Three-Body"?"

"The meaning of taking over the project is to buy the copyright of "The Three-Body Problem" from Zhang Fanfan's hands."

Meng Qian did know about the "Three-Body" IP. In 2009, Zhang Fanfan bought the copyright of "Three-Body" for 100,000 yuan. This matter was mentioned again and again.

However, Zhang Fanfan is interested in "The Three-Body Problem", but he does not have that much money, and the resources are not deep enough. Before the "Three-Body Problem" became popular, he did not fail to attract big capital. Too much money and capital hesitated, especially when Huo Cheng became like that later, if he didn't make "Three-Body" a benchmark for Chinese sci-fi movies, he would feel like a sinner through the ages.

So in July 2015, taking over the "Three-Body Problem" project is actually still a very good deal. In the future, this IP will be very valuable, and Meng Qian has his own self-confidence. "Three-Body Problem" wants to be filmed in China. To satisfy the readers, Gale Entertainment is the greatest possibility.

Seeing Tian Xiaopeng's expression of anticipation, worry and uneasiness, Meng Qian didn't slip it anymore. This deal must be profitable, and Meng Qian also has this interest in filming "Three-Body Problem".

"I can go and chat with the team about taking over "Three-Body Problem", but I have one condition."

Tian Xiaopeng put down his wine glass excitedly, "Mr. Meng, please tell me."

"Director Zhang Fanfan, director Hetian, if we need it, you should come and assist us in filming "The Three-Body Problem"."

Tian Xiaopeng's mind froze for a moment, and after realizing it, he quickly raised his wine glass, "Mr. Meng, I respect you!"
