"Black Myth: Wukong" is unlocked and played, and the "golden" road behind the buyout game

"The character special effects and graphics are beautifully done, and the soundtrack is also very good, but I just had a fight, and the combat gameplay has not yet been deeply experienced, but it is difficult to feel the combat (system)." A player who was guarding the computer after the "Black Myth: Wukong" was unlocked at 10:00 on the 20th Beijing time told Shell Financial Reporter.

"The picture looks good, but the copy is uncomfortable. It feels like the creator is a law of the jungle." Another player did not express all the praise. Previously, the overseas creator "Video Game dunkry" also considered the game to be suspected of borrowing from Dark Souls in reviews.

"Black Myth: Goku’s biggest advantage is that its overall quality reaches the world’s top level. In other words, the overall quality of gameplay, plot, technology, etc., gives it the ability to discuss and compare with the top product, which is the most important advantage of this product. But it is also just a’good product ‘, not a product that creates a sub-category or a new track," said Xu Fanke, a senior data analyst at Gamma Data.

Like the above players, there are millions of stand-alone players around the world who are regularly waiting for "Black Myth: Wukong" to be unlocked. According to the observation of shell financial reporters, as of 19:00 on August 20, the game had about 1.547 million real-time players on the Steam platform (a world-renowned game and software platform), and the peak online number on that day was about 1.547 million people. Bilibili has more than one million people watching the Game LIVE, and at the same time ranked first in the game LIVE platform Twitch stand-alone game playback outside Shanghai.

A number of game industry practitioners to shell finance forecast "black myth: Wukong" present on all major platforms sales are expected to reach 5 million to 7 million sets, according to the lowest sales price of 268 yuan, the game’s buyout sales flow is 1.34 billion yuan to 1.876 billion yuan. Previously, "black myth: Wukong" pre-sale volume over 1.20 million copies, pre-sale sales over 400 million yuan, into the Steam platform August 6 to 13 global weekly sales champion.

The value of "Black Myth: Wukong" goes far beyond the game buyout revenue. Xu Fanke, a senior data analyst at Gamma Data, believes that "Black Myth: Wukong" has high IP (intellectual property) value both inside and outside the game field. "In 2023, 83% of the top 100 overseas stand-alone games will have IP, which means that if" Black Myth: Wukong "launches a sequel, its sequel will have a relatively large opportunity on the stand-alone platform. In addition, IP-related fields can be monetized, such as figures, joint licensing, cultural tourism, etc."

Game body sales or over 1.30 billion, figures, peripherals, cultural tourism on the way

In "Journey to the West", Tang Seng’s master and apprentice experienced 81 difficulties and walked 108,000 miles before obtaining the true scriptures. And what kind of "golden road" did Shenzhen Youke Interactive Technology Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as: Youke Interactive), which produced "Black Myth: Wukong", experience?

"Black Myth: Wukong" is an action role-playing game set in Chinese mythology produced by Youke Interactive. In addition to releasing digital versions such as the PC (PC) Standard Edition for 268 yuan and the PC Deluxe Edition for 328 yuan, the game also released a limited edition of 20,000 sets of "Physical Deluxe Edition" and a limited edition of 10,000 sets of "Collector’s Edition". The prices of the two reached 820 yuan and 1998 yuan respectively.

Previously, Feng Ji, founder of Youke Interactive, revealed in an interview that the development cost of "Black Myth: Wukong" players per hour experience is about 15 million yuan to 20 million yuan, and the team estimates that the overall game time will reach more than 15 hours, while the actual development time is more than 1.5 times this time. If this rough calculation, the production cost is at least 337 million yuan to 450 million yuan.

The R & D cost of foreign 3A games (referring to high-quality, high-volume, and high-cost stand-alone games) is usually more than $100 million, and the R & D time is between three and five years. "The cost [of" Black Myth: Wukong "] should be around $100 million, and about 50% of the sales can be returned to the production side," a senior analyst in the game industry told Shell Financial Reporter. But some game company respondents said that the revenue that can be returned to the production side is 50% to 60%, depending on how the channel side and the publisher negotiate, and the degree of strength. (The cut is mainly used to pay the cost of the channel side such as the host factory and platform, and the cost of marketing activities)

A number of game industry practitioners to shell finance is expected to "black myth: Wukong" present on all major platforms sales are expected to reach 5 million to 7 million sets, according to the lowest sales price of 268 yuan, the game’s buyout sales flow is 1.34 billion yuan to 1.876 billion yuan. "Because the current number of Steam online is 1.50 million, according to the industry’s 1:2 rule, Steam buyers about 3 million, this does not include PS5, WeGame and other channels, conservative also have 5 million sets."

If the producer gets 50% of the sales roughly calculated, the game’s producer Youke Interactive can get at least 670 million yuan of gross income, and up to 938 million yuan. "The cost is about 100 million US dollars, that is to say, according to the pre-sale situation, it can not be recovered, but the current sales are good, relying on the game product buyout income can be stabilized or even profitable." The senior analyst of the game industry told reporters.

But as the first domestic 3A masterpiece, "Black Myth: Wukong" has far more appeal to consumers than that.

Xu Fanke, a senior data analyst at Gamma Data, said that "Black Myth: Wukong" has become a big IP, and the follow-up will be launched, and there are still great opportunities in the stand-alone platform. In addition, he believes that the general market trend of peripheral goods, figures and other industries in China is better than that of games, so IP licensing can also be realized. Currently, Luckin, Nvidia, Hisense TV, Lenovo Savior, JD.com and Didi Qingju plan to interact with "Black Myth: Wukong". Furthermore, IP also has the value of radiating to other industries. For example, "Black Myth: Wukong" has taken a lot of scenery in Shanxi, and the Shanxi Provincial Department of Culture and Tourism has released a number of videos, which is expected to promote local tourism consumption.

The first domestic 3A game masterpiece,Youke InteractiveHow to obtain the scriptures

The producer of "Black Myth: Wukong", Shenzhen Youke Interactive Technology Co., Ltd. was established on June 13, 2014 with a registered capital of 697,900 yuan. It is mainly engaged in software design and development, game development, system integration, network engineering, enterprise information system, website design and development; web page production; e-commerce operation; communication system development and integration; automation control system development and integration; automation engineering construction; software sales, technical services; domestic trade, etc. Feng Ji served as the legal representative, chairperson and general manager of Youke Interactive, and Yang Qi and other 6 people served as directors.

According to Feng Ji and Yang Qi in interviews with CCTV and Zhejiang Daily, after seeing that "mobile games are exploding, I feel that this is an opportunity that should not be missed." Several old colleagues, including him and Yang Qi, left Tencent together to form Youke Interactive.

From "Hundred Generations" to "Red Tide", Youke Interactive made two games before "Black Myth: Wukong", which also became their "first pot of gold". "At that time, our strategy was to find the most popular mobile game category on the market, plus first-class art, world view and story." Feng Ji explained the journey, "We all knew that sooner or later we would make a stand-alone game, but we always felt that the timing and funding were not yet mature, so we kept waiting."

The original idea was eight years ago, when Youke Interactive conducted a market survey: in 2016, nearly a third of active users on Steam, the world’s largest game publishing platform, were from China. "This is a very exaggerated data, which shows that the whole Chinese stand-alone market has enough potential," Feng Ji said. In early 2018, Yang Qi took the initiative to find Feng Ji, hoping to start a stand-alone game project. He is currently more familiar to the majority of netizens as the head of art of "Black Myth: Wukong".

Since making a 3A game requires not only high quality and high volume, but also high cost, where does Youke Interactive’s funding come from? According to Qichacha information, Youke Interactive has undergone two rounds of financing, namely an undisclosed amount of angel investment from Hero Entertainment in May 2017 and an undisclosed amount of strategic investment from Tencent Investment in March 2021.

At present, Youke Interactive mainly has five shareholders, namely natural person Feng Ji, Shenzhen Youke Interactive Enterprise Management Center (Limited Partnership), Tianjin Hero Financial Control Technology Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as: Hero Financial Control), Shenzhen Youke Research and Development Enterprise Management Center (Limited Partnership), Guangxi Tencent Venture Capital Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as: Tencent Venture Capital), with shareholding ratios of 38.76%, 27.36%, 19%, 9.88% and 5% respectively. Among them, Shenzhen Youke Interactive Enterprise Management Center (Limited Partnership) and Shenzhen Youke Research and Development Enterprise Management Center (Limited Partnership) are natural persons Feng Ji and Zheng Runzong after penetration. Zheng Runzong is also the director and technical person in charge of Youke Interactive. After penetration, the two hold 44.10% and 31.90% respectively.

From the above analysis, we can see that there are currently only two external shareholders of Youke Interactive, namely Hero Financial Holdings, which holds 19%, and Tencent Venture Capital, which holds 5%. But it is worth mentioning that Hero Financial Holdings is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Hero Entertainment, and Wu Dan, CEO of Hero Entertainment, serves as a director of Youke Interactive. In addition, Ma Xiaoyi, senior vice president of Tencent Group, also serves as a director of Youke Interactive.

Talking about the significance of "Black Myth: Wukong" to China’s game industry. Xu Fanke, a senior data analyst at Gamma Data, believes that the first is the significance of industry growth and global status. Whether it is the domestic market or the overseas market, the difficulty of growing the market size in recent years is much higher than before, and the global sales of "Black Myth: Wukong" mean that the buyout game market is still very promising. "Black Myth: Wukong" is also expected to become an opportunity for Chinese companies to enter the overseas buyout market. If Chinese game companies want to further enhance their global competitiveness, then entering the PC and console fields that overseas companies are good at is likely to be unavoidable. The output of "Black Myth: Wukong" may help Chinese companies take this step more firmly.

Finally, "Black Myth: Wukong" can also help the Chinese game industry better sort out how to balance the game preferences of domestic users and overseas users, such as publicity, R & D (world view, combat system, etc.), which overseas users are willing to pay for and which domestic users are looking forward to. Whether it is in terms of global popularity, user expectations, sales or other aspects, "Black Myth: Wukong" is currently the best performing domestic buyout game, which also means that the industry can observe enough global user feedback.

The above-mentioned game industry analysts said that "Black Myth: Goku" has more confidence in the game industry than practical significance. "From the perspective of actual revenue, the impact on the industry is limited, but if it can be successful, it can give big manufacturers and investors greater confidence, boost the confidence of the industry, and make more content-oriented games." He said, "In addition, start IP linkage without release. This model is very new in the field of stand-alone games. Earn extra income in advance, but this method is very mature in the field of mobile games."

1905 movie network news On April 10, Yang Mi posted beautiful selfies on Weibo after a long time.

Why was the driver fined 500 yuan for driving away the "shared car" and returning to the parking spot?

  Oriental Network reporter Li Huan and correspondent Cai Chanjing reported on October 30: The driver drove the "shared car" home from the roadside and returned to the parking spot. Why was he finally fined 500 yuan by the police for "stealing other people’s motor vehicles"? It turned out that although the car he drove looked no different from ordinary shared cars, it was an employee-only car that could not be found on the APP and was not leased to the outside world!

  At 9:00 on October 14, Baoshan Qilian Police Station received a 110 alarm. The person who called the alarm was Mr. Wang, a staff member of a shared car company. Mr. Wang said that a shared car used by employees in the underground garage of a large supermarket in the Qilian area of their company was missing. According to Mr. Wang, although the company’s employee-only car is parked in the same area as the general leased shared car, and there is no difference in appearance, users cannot find the car from the APP, nor can they open the door through the APP like ordinary rental vehicles. The police immediately launched an investigation and found that two people riding electric scooters entered the underground garage one after another in the early morning of October 13, and drove a car out of the garage shortly after. The characteristics of the vehicle were consistent with the information provided by Mr. Wang.

  Therefore, the police continued to track the driver of the vehicle, and with the assistance of the driving company, on October 16, the police arrested Miao in Caolu Town, Pudong, who was taking orders for driving.

  "I really didn’t steal it! I just wanted to go home, and I specially returned the car to the parking spot! This is also illegal?" In the face of the police’s inquiry, Miao tried to defend himself.

  Miao said that late at night on October 13, he received a driver’s order from Pudong to Gubei Road in Baoshan. After arriving in Baoshan, it was nearly early in the morning, and there were no buses or subways. As a driver, when encountering such a situation, he usually chooses to rent a shared car to go home. Therefore, through APP search, Miao found a shared car in the underground parking garage of a hypermarket in the Qilian area of Baoshan. When he arrived, he found that the tire of the vehicle was damaged and could not be used. At this time, a driver who also found the parking spot with him came. When the two were at a loss, Miao saw a shared car parked next to them. But the strange thing was that the car was not displayed on the APP, so Miao went forward to check and tried to open the front and rear doors of the car, but the door was really opened by him. After entering the car, Miao found that the car key was in the car, so he drove the car with another colleague and left. After returning to his place of residence, he returned the car to a nearby parking spot.

  In an interview with the Oriental Network reporter, the undertaker said that stealing other people’s motor vehicles is not for the purpose of illegal possession. Although it is essentially different from stealing other people’s motor vehicles, Miao has subjectively realized that it is not a normal foreign lease when using the shared car, and finally objectively did not start and pay the normal lease fee. According to the Law of the People’s Republic of China on Public Security Administration Penalties, stealing other people’s motor vehicles is subject to corresponding administrative penalties.

  Finally, according to the first paragraph of Article 64 of the Public Security Administration Punishment Law, the Baoshan police imposed a fine of 500 yuan on Miao for stealing another person’s motor vehicle.

  The police particularly reminded that whether it is a company or an individual vehicle, it is necessary to pay attention to safety precautions. After leaving the car, remember to lock the door and pull out the key to avoid unnecessary losses.

Wang Sicong "goes to work", Wang Jianlin "passes the customs"

In the photo, Wang Sicong is wearing a gray sweater, black casual pants, and sports shoes. His image is particularly prominent among the crowd in suits and ties.

People who are used to the impression of the "national husband" and the "entertainment industry discipline inspection committee" may find it difficult to imagine him appearing in the government news, with a serious face and talks with local government leaders. Wang Sicong, who has disappeared from the public eye for a long time, has "returned" in this form.

On the morning of November 27, Wang Sicong appeared in Tai’an, Shandong. As the chairperson of Beijing Huanju Business Management Co., Ltd., he attended the signing activity of a cultural tourism project in Tai’an. Judging from the photos released by "Beijing Huanju Business Management Co., Ltd." on its official Weibo, Wang Sicong not only communicated with Yang Hongtao, secretary of the Tai’an Municipal Party Committee and director of the Standing Committee of the Municipal People’s Congress, but also visited related projects on the spot.

Source: Huanju Business

To put it bluntly, Tai’an City entrusted Wang Sicong to be responsible for the follow-up operation of a cultural tourism project. After the news broke, it quickly became a hot search. Some netizens speculated that Wang Sicong "is going back to Wanda to inherit the family property and will take over." Wang Sicong’s unique outfit that day also attracted the attention of many netizens. "It’s still that teenager", "maybe wearing casual clothes to meet the leader is his last stubbornness."

You know, business management and operations like this are Wanda’s strengths.When Wanda was transforming, Wang Jianlin made it clear that the restructured Wanda would be "de-real estate", transformed into an asset-light company, and become a business management company. This time, Wang Sicong took over the operation of Taishan Cultural Tourism Fitness Center, and it was the first time in the news that he had entered the cultural tourism industry. Is this move really preparation for "succession"?

In the past few years, his son’s investment career has been frustrated, and his father, who is nearly 70 years old, is still "breaking through" on the front line of Wanda. The end of the year has come to the most anxious moment.Due to the twists and turns of the listing, the fate of Wang Jianlin is about to diverge. Whether Wang Jianlin can survive this battle is still unknown. Wang Sicong, who once made it clear that he would not take over, established a business management company at the beginning of this year to regain his father’s old dream of cultural tourism. Although it is entrepreneurship, is it not another form of succession and continuation?

Appear in Shandong and enter the cultural tourism industry

Without the nightclubs, beers and Internet celebrities in the gossip camera, Wang Sicong’s image of "working hard" has once again refreshed the cognition of netizens.

"We really don’t know the situation." After hearing the news of the signing, an official from Wanda Group responded. Many other Wanda-related people speculated,This contract has nothing to do with Wanda, nor is it a "succession" action, but Wang Sicong’s own career plan."He had his own investment company," said one insider.

However, Wang Sicong’s entry into the cultural tourism industry really confused him, "I really don’t know what their thinking is?"

According to the Tai’an Municipal People’s Government Network on November 28, on the morning of November 27, the signing ceremony of the Taishan Cultural Tourism Fitness Center project was held. Yang Hongtao, Secretary of the Tai’an Municipal Party Committee and Director of the Standing Committee of the Municipal People’s Congress, attended the event and delivered a speech, and Wang Sicong, Chairperson of Beijing Huanju Business Management Co., Ltd., attended the event. At the ceremony, Tai’an Urban Development Investment Co., Ltd. and Beijing Huanju Business Management Co., Ltd. signed a project cooperation agreement.

On the evening of November 27, the WeChat official account "Huanju Commercial Co., Ltd." also released the news of "Beijing Huanju Commercial Co., Ltd. held a signing ceremony with the Tai’an Municipal Government on the cultural tourism fitness center project", and published a number of close-up photos of Wang Sicong’s presence. The official account was registered on November 13, 2023, and was certified as "Huanju Commercial Management Co., Ltd." on the 16th. The IP belongs to Liaoning.

The signing news is also the first message released by the official account. Tianyancha APP shows that Beijing Huanju Business Management Co., Ltd(Hereinafter referred to as: Beijing Huanju)Founded on July 20, 2023, located in Beijing, it is an enterprise mainly engaged in business services. Wang Sicong is the chairperson, president Li Xin, and executive president Ding Yi. The registered capital of the enterprise is 10 million yuan.

From the perspective of penetration, "Beijing Huanju" has two shareholders: Hangzhou Cuizhan Business Management Co., Ltd., and Jiuhuan Real Estate Development(Beijing)Co., Ltd., the shareholding ratio is 51% and 49% respectively. Wang Sicong is the actual controller of Hangzhou Cup, and the total shareholding ratio is 31.5%.

It is understood that before the signing ceremony, Yang Hongtao and Wang Sicong had a discussion and exchange. Wang Sicong said that Beijing Huanju Business Management Co., Ltd. will take "new scenes, new gameplay, and new trends" as the starting point, and use "compound formats, multiple scenes, and in-depth experiences" as the means to build the Taishan Cultural Tourism Fitness Center project into a young force and micro-vacation destination that integrates entertainment and fitness, four-season skiing, sports cool play, youth social networking, and parent-child science popularization, so as to realize the integration of culture, business, and tourism.

"(Read the entire article.)It’s really familiar words and taste, just like Wanda’s feeling, but the person who said it was Wang Sicong. "A company person who has worked with Wanda for many years said.From the perspective of business scope, "Beijing Huanju" is not the same as the "pan-entertainment empire" that Wang Sicong has built before, but it is more related to the cultural tourism business that Wanda has been focusing on.

According to the official Weibo of "Huanju Business Management Co., Ltd.", Beijing Huanju Business Management Co., Ltd. is the only trendy entertainment and scene operation company in China that focuses on immersive experiences. At present, the assets under management exceed 6 billion yuan, there are more than 70 layout projects, and more than 100 offline single stores; the business format covers cultural tourism, business, experiential consumption and night entertainment.

According to official news, the "Beijing Huanju" is mainly involved in the renovation of the stadium project of Taishan Cultural Tourism Fitness Center. According to previous reports, the Taishan Cultural Tourism Fitness Center project was listed as one of the 10 practical things to be done for the people by Tai’an City. The project plans to complete the investment of 650 million yuan in 2020, and the investment has been completed so far about 350 million yuan.

Second, the "succession" is not clear, and the career continues

From publicly available information,This Tai’an project signing is Wang Sicong’s first foray into a physical cultural tourism project.

Cultural tourism was once Wang Jianlin’s old dream. In 2017, in order to repay the loan, Wanda had no choice but to "break its arm" and sold the core projects of Wanda’s cultural tourism sector to Sunac and R & F. The main business of "Beijing Huanju" – business management and operation, is the core sign of Wanda’s business management. In the process of going around, the son extended from the concept of pan-entertainment to the entity, and a cross-border integration seemed to have followed his father’s "old path".

Wang Sicong is the only son of Wang Jianlin, Wanda’s leading business management group. As Wang Jianlin, the "man at the helm", continues to age, the succession of Wang Sicong has attracted much attention. Wang Jianlin has responded to related topics in public many times over the past decade or so. "I talked to Sicong a few times, but he was not interested in replacing me," he said. "He thought it was too difficult to manage more than 100,000 people."

Unlike the traditional succession model of "the son inherits the father’s business", Wang Sicong refused his father’s arrangement and started his own business with 500 million yuan. During this period, there were highlights and setbacks. Since the collapse of Panda TV in 2019, there have been reports that "Wang Sicong will return to Wanda and start to take over with peace of mind". However, at the end of August last year, Wang Sicong stepped down as a director of Dalian Wanda Group Inc., Ltd., and therefore rushed to Weibo’s trending topic list.

Among the "second generation" of Chinese entrepreneurs, Wang Sicong has always been the representative of freedom.

Wang Sicong was born in 1988. In the same year, Wang Jianlin founded Wanda Group. Due to his busy business, Wang Jianlin did not have much time to take care of Wang Sicong. At the age of 2, Wang Sicong started kindergarten, and then was sent to Singapore for primary school and Winchester College in the UK for secondary school. At university, Wang Sicong was admitted to the Department of Philosophy at the University of London with a perfect score of IELTS.

Looking at his academic stage alone, Wang Sicong obviously has little to do with the word "playboy". In 2009, Wang Sicong returned to China after graduating from college. He rejected his father’s planned succession arrangement, and Wang Jianlin finally made a compromise. He gave Wang Sicong 500 million yuan to start the capital, and Wang Sicong started a different life.

The entrepreneur Wang Sicong is best known for his business identity as the chairperson of Beijing Pusi Investment Co., Ltd. The company was founded in 2009 and is 100% controlled by Wang Sicong himself. According to the official website, Pusi Capital has accumulated assets under management of more than 1 billion US dollars and invested in nearly 80 projects, including Netfish Internet Cafe, 360, Hero Entertainment, Ledou Games, Yunyou Holdings, Fushou Garden, and Xiaoguo Culture.

It is worth noting that "Beijing Huanju" is a member of "Banana Project". Banana Project is Shanghai Banana Project Cultural Development Co., Ltd., established in June 2015. Its subsidiaries include Banana Entertainment, Banana Music, Banana Game Media, Banana Film and Television, and Banana Sports. The "Banana Project" aims to build a pan-entertainment industry chain and is an important manifestation of Wang Sicong’s personal interests and business ambitions in the past eight years.

After the collapse of the market, Wang Sicong’s confidence in entrepreneurship has not diminished. In the "Result of Panda Interactive Entertainment Investment Dispute Handling" announced in December 2019, Pusi Capital stated that the failure of a single project of Panda Interactive Entertainment cannot be said to be the failure of Pusi Capital and the actual controller. Pusi Capital and the actual controller will be honest and trustworthy and continue to start a business. It revealed that Pusi Capital lost 2 billion yuan on this investment.

For the past three years, Wang Sicong has been quiet in the market. Although he is 35 years old this year, he has not yet shown a clear intention to succeed. However, with an entrepreneurial vision, he obviously has a lot to do.The day after announcing the signing of the Tai’an cultural tourism project, Beijing Huanju official Weibo posted a second message, titled: Beijing Huanju Business Management Co., Ltd. – a leader in 5.0 immersive experience business.

"Unlike traditional commercial management companies, Huanju has introduced its shareholding or holding brands into the commercial complex in the form of main stores, as the engine that cannot be replicated in the complex," the article said. "At present, the commercial projects that have been launched include: Hangzhou ICON CENTER Trend Night Entertainment Complex, Queens Park Guochao Industrial Incubation Center, Meihetang Michelin Catering Center, etc."

The article concludes: Huanju is willing to join hands with everyone to support the "backbone" of future business development.

Third, Wang Jianlin is sad at the "end of the year"?

Another "second generation", Liu Chang, chairperson of New Hope Liuhe, once talked about his admiration for Wang Sicong in an interview, saying that when he started his business in the early years, he could only borrow very little money from his father Liu Yonghao. Liu Chang has long since become a model of succession. After Wang Sicong first tasted the twists and turns of entrepreneurship, he entered the physical cultural tourism industry, with more stability and caution behind his actions.

At the moment, his father, Wang Jianlin, 69, is still sailing in the wind and rain, much like the situation in "The Old Man and the Sea". In the past three years, Zhuhai Wanda Commercial Management’s Hong Kong-listed IPO has been delayed repeatedly, and the listing uncertainty has increased sharply. The more than 30 billion yuan gambling agreement signed with investors will also expire at the end of the year. Whether this crisis can be successfully resolved will determine the ultimate fate of Wang Jianlin and Wanda’s business empire.

According to The Paper, Wang Jianlin and Zhuhai Wanda tried to delay the payment of the 30 billion yuan share repurchase payment involved in the listing bet after the short-term hopelessness of Zhuhai Wanda Commercial Management’s IPO, but the initial plan was not agreed by investors. Zhuhai Wanda Commercial Management hopes to extend the repayment of the share repurchase payment to four years, while providing part of Zhuhai Wanda Commercial Management’s equity as collateral. However, investors did not accept this proposal.

According to the news, Zhuhai Wanda Commercial Management also stressed that if it can obtain regulatory approval and the market conditions improve, Zhuhai Wanda Commercial Management may still be listed before the end of this year. Wanda Group responded that the listing of Zhuhai Wanda Commercial Management is still in progress.

In the past three years, Zhuhai Wanda Commercial Management has submitted prospectuses to the Hong Kong Stock Exchange four times, the most recent being on June 28 this year. Shortly before, on June 2, the International Department of the Securities Supervision Commission issued a request for supplementary materials for the filing of overseas issuance and listing of Zhuhai Wanda Commercial Management, and asked to respond to six questions, including dividends, internal control, whether the rental rate is accurate, the risk of debt repayment by controlling shareholders, and the use of listing proceeds raised.

In fact, in 2021, Zhuhai Wanda Commercial Management IPO has been "small road" by the Securities Supervision Commission, and the approval of overseas IPO has been accepted by the China Securities Supervision Commission, entering the substantive stage of IPO in Hong Kong. To successfully list on Hong Kong stocks, Zhuhai Wanda Commercial Management needs to obtain "big road". Up to now, the Securities Supervision Commission has not officially issued the approval of Zhuhai Wanda Commercial Management H-share issuance.

"The current liquidity and valuation of the Hong Kong stock market are low, and even if it is listed, it will be a huge loss for investors," said a securities market person. Zhuhai Wanda’s commercial management investment team is "star-studded", including Ant, Tencent, Country Garden, Country Garden Services, CITIC Capital, CITIC Securities, Warburg Pincus, China Merchants Group Capital, United Life Insurance, Shanghai Guosheng Capital, Zheng Yutong Family and other investors.

Under the combination of multiple pressures such as the continued downturn in the operating environment, the maturity of the company’s debt, and the blockage of the IPO, Wang Jianlin has not had a good year this year.According to public information, so far this year, Wanda has put some of its Wanda Plaza, financial licenses, Infront Sports, film company equity, etc. on the shelves.

In terms of cash flow and debt, Wanda is still under pressure. As of the end of the first half of this year, the balance of Wanda’s commercial management cash and cash equivalents was about 14.70 billion yuan, a significant decrease of 53% year-on-year. In addition, the consolidated caliber interest-bearing liabilities were about 141.30 billion yuan, of which the interest-bearing liabilities due within one year were about 29.30 billion yuan. Due to the impact of Wanda’s commercial management public market refinancing channels not being restored and the listing progress of its subsidiary Zhuhai Wanda was less than expected, bond prices fluctuated further. This means that,The difficulty of refinancing in Wanda’s open market has increased.

Recently, it has been reported that Zhuhai Wanda Commercial Management intends to postpone its IPO time in Hong Kong until 2026 at the longest, and is currently in discussions with investors. This is two years later than the rumor that "Zhuhai Wanda Commercial Management may choose to IPO in 2024" exposed at the end of October. Wanda officials have not yet said anything about this. If the news is true, Wanda Commercial Management will be exchanged for a longer opportunity to build momentum.

At the moment, how to convince investors will be Wang Jianlin’s biggest headache.

Star studio treatment exposure: many additional benefits, assistant monthly salary of 3,000 (Figure)

  It is always easy to attract everyone’s attention about celebrities. For example, there has been a disclosure of the salary of star studios recently on the Internet, which claims that the staff of many domestic first-line big coffee studios are not as good as the little sister of Foxconn – how is this possible! With full of doubts, the late reporter asked many people in the circle one after another, so how is the income of working for celebrities? What other benefits can you have besides being able to get along with celebrities? Is every star as wealthy as the legendary Fan Bingbing? After reading this report, maybe you can gain a lot of "posture". Shenzhen Evening News reporter, Jiang Shuangchao

  literacy

  What are the positions available in the Star Studio?

  Assistant: Responsible for accompanying the artist to formulate and complete their daily itinerary, including booking air tickets, carrying bags, preparing clothes, serving tea and pouring water, etc. The nanny-type assistant is relatively tired and is almost like the artist’s personal nanny, coming for everything.

  Publicity: Make a publicity plan for the artists, contact TV programs for their own artists to be announced, and write promotional manuscripts and contact major media for interviews. In short, try to let the world know about the existence of their artists. Once there is negative news, you have to urgently "put out the fire".

  Agent: Arrange various jobs for artists, and determine the development path of artists. In addition, some studios will set up the position of executive agent, which is basically to cooperate with the agent to be responsible for the execution of performing arts activities, take artists to shows and interviews.

  In addition to these three main components, a complete star studio should also include administrative and financial positions, of course, there are some exceptions, such as Ren Quan Studio has a catering industry team, Huang Bo Studio has a professional screenwriter, Fan Shang Wenjie Studio also has a lawyer (always ready for a lawsuit?), the most elusive position is Chen Kun Studio’s Visual Identity and Field Explorer – it turns out that because Chen Kun organizes the regular activities of "Walking Power" every year, he needs a strong and wild man to explore the way first.

  break the news

  Compared with the treatment, Fan Bingbing Studio is not as good as Ren Quan Studio

  Chen Kun’s studio employees earned 1,800 yuan, Lin Xinru’s studio employees earned 3,500 yuan, and Zhang Yuqi’s studio employees earned 2,000 yuan… Recently, the so-called star studio salary disclosure sticker was circulating on the Internet, so the deep-night reporter who was shocked by this string of figures conducted some investigation and consultation, and found that working for celebrities is not that low, and of course it is not as high as everyone thought before.

  Generally speaking, among the employees of the star studio, the income level is from low to high: assistant, publicity, and agent. The income of the assistant is usually around 3,000 because of the lack of technical skills. Yes, don’t look glamorous, in fact, the income is similar to that of going to the factory to work. The income of publicity will be better, roughly more than 4,000, but there are exceptions. Fan Bingbing Studio, which is rumored to have excellent treatment in the industry, is reported to have an average salary of 5,000 or 6,000. There are also some artists who may not be so popular, but the treatment given to their subordinates is quite good. For example, the treatment given by Ren Quan Studio to the staff is very good, which may be slightly higher than that of Fan Bingbing Studio. Not only does he travel at home and abroad every year, but the annual bonus is also not cheap. More importantly, his family commutes on the hour, and he doesn’t have to work hard to work overtime. In addition, the owner of artists such as Haiqing, Zhang Xinyi and Wu Xiubo – Xitian Film and Television, the general income of the publicity staff is around 4,000, but with the commission, it should reach 5,000 or 6,000. Compared with the grassroots staff, the income of the publicity director of the studio will be higher. According to the reporter, the monthly salary of the publicity director of Ren Quan Studio is more than 10,000, excluding the annual bonus.

  The income of the propaganda staff is not high, but the treatment of the agent on the other side is not low. Generally, their income is also in the form of salary plus commission, of which commission accounts for the majority. For example, if you can help the artists of the studio receive film and television dramas, you can extract a certain proportion from the salary of the artist. If you receive a cost-effective job such as advertising endorsements, the commission may be as high as 5%. In this way, the general agent income is at least 300,000 or more, and there is no upper limit according to the level of the artist. However, the artist agent who can set up a studio should have an annual income of more than 500,000.

  Follow the stars

  What are the sweeteners?

  Five insurances and one fund

  Basically there are, isn’t this a basic guarantee?

  Year-end red envelope

  Previously, there was news that Yang Mi gave the staff 200,000 red envelope during the Chinese New Year. Although it was later confirmed to be fake news, the general red envelope can still reach five digits, but it does not rule out individual stingy bosses giving thousands and hundreds.

  Paid tours, usually star studios organize trips at home and abroad every year. For example, Ren Quan’s studio went to Sanya one year.

  Home plane tickets, round-trip plane tickets will be prepared for employees during the Chinese New Year, and some are full-price tickets!

  contingency benefit

  Compared to ordinary bosses, the bosses of the star studio were obviously more "heart-hearted". Although the salary given was not high, they would buy insurance for the relatives of the staff and pay plane tickets to visit relatives, and also give other benefits. For example, the employees of the Fan Bingbing studio would receive double red envelopes at the end of the year, one for themselves and the other for their parents.

  Star Studio Q & A

  Q = Deep Evening Reporter

  L = old fritters in the entertainment industry

  Q: Is it difficult to enter a celebrity studio?

  L: If it is said that the difficulty of entering Huayi, Hairun and other entertainment companies is level 5, then the difficulty of entering the star studio is at least level 8 or above, and it is basically difficult to enter without relevant professional experience and educational background. In addition, the interview is also very important. Huang Xiaoming Studio used the world’s top 500 exam questions to test each position when recruiting, and also designed some small details on the spot to see the on-site response of the candidates. And Fan Bingbing Studio also needs to test English listening and speaking skills during the interview, which is really scarier than the college entrance examination! And the stars are also very picky. For the studio members, they basically have to interview themselves. It is said that a W male star has interviewed countless people because he wanted to find a decent-looking driver, but he has not found it yet.

  Q: If you really like a celebrity, can you work for them?

  L: If you are in a fan mood to work for a star, it is very likely that you will not even be able to pass the interview, let alone get in touch with the star himself. Previously, some outsiders said that many star studios could only use fans to work because of the low salary. I am very responsible to tell you – fake! For fans’ job applications, artists usually directly refuse the door. If it were you, would you be willing to keep someone who is crazy about you by your side? It’s terrible!

  Q: Does the more popular the artist, the higher the studio’s income?

  L: Many people think that artists have high incomes, so they will naturally throw a lot of money at the assistants and promoters around them, but please use your brains to think about it. Celebrities’ money doesn’t fall from the sky, so why give it to us at will? Of course, it is not ruled out that lavish masters like Fan Bingbing will give red envelopes from time to time, but I don’t mean to break your dream. Like us ordinary promoters, getting 6,000 or 7,000 yuan a month is already a good one in the industry.

Li Zonghan’s "Jianyu Jianghu" shape was exposed, and he cut his hair to play with iron chopsticks for a monk


Li Zonghan monk style


Unique weapon Iron chopsticks


Li Zonghan’s eyes are determined

   The $12 million film "Sword Rain" was recently filmed in Hengdian, and the first stills were released on the spot. Director Yu Woo said lightly: "This is only half of the card, and then there will be some big-name actors joining, and there will be more unexpected surprises." It is quite the style of a feather fan and a towel. It is reported that Li Zonghan, an important role player in the play, has recently joined the film. In the play, he cut his hair as a monk and played "Lu Zhu". In order to create a new image, he changed his makeup several times to break through the image of the previous elegant and elegant students. Costume designer Wada Emi praised the feeling of a young version of Takakura Ken, which is quite eye-catching.

  The film "Jianyu Jianghu" has invested over 100 million yuan. It not only invested heavily in production but also has a super-luxurious cast. It gathers Chinese and Korean stars such as Yeoh Michelle Yeoh, Zheng Yusheng, Big S, Yu Wenle, Li Zonghan, Wang Xueqi, Lin Xilei, Guo Xiaodong and so on. The film’s executive producer and general director John Woo believes that "Jianyu Jianghu" is positioned as a very emotional martial arts film. The costume designer of the film is made by the Oscar-winning Wada Emi. In the film, Li Zonghan plays the monk "Lu Zhu" with hair cultivation. He breaks through the previous mild-mannered and personable image of a small student. The rare short hairstyle took an afternoon. Li Zonghan told reporters: "This style has been changed twice. The previous one was not cut as short, but the director hoped to be shorter after seeing it. After cutting it, he looked at the mirror and felt quite" shocked ". The first time it was so short, it was quite fresh…" Although Li Zonghan’s monk robe seemed simple, in order to reflect the traces of time, the clothier used chemical effects to soak him in potassium permanganate and then took it out to finish grinding. This process alone took a day. Wada Emi was quite satisfied with the final shape and praised Li Zonghan for having the feeling of Takakura Ken back then.

  Everyone has a "rivers and lakes" in their hearts. For the word "rivers and lakes", Li Zonghan explained: "A sword. A kind of love. A woman and a man. A confusing past of rivers and lakes. In fact, where there are people, it is rivers and lakes." Life and death asked what love is in the world, and Li Zonghan once again deduced that the world cannot love in this life, but emptiness is color and color is emptiness, and life is too short.

Movie Network Viewpoint:The fantasy world of the movie is becoming more and more imaginative. The iron fan played by Dawn in "October Siege" is surprising, and now there are iron chopsticks. Will iron spoons, shovels and other deadly weapons continue to emerge?

IGN China’s exclusive interview with the creator of "Black Myth: Wukong", entering game science

Zhao Wenyong, Tech Director

On the day of the interview with Wen Yong, he had just returned from a technology sharing class in Shanghai. As a well-known tech expert in the circle, such technology sharing is common among peers, but this time the sharing is a little different from the previous one.

In the past, when he introduced himself at the beginning of the technology sharing class, he could only say that he was the technical director of "Hundred Generals" and "Art of War: Red Tide", and there were few people in the audience. But this time when he introduced himself on stage as the technical director of "Black Myth: Wukong", the audience was full of exclamations. After all, no one expected that just after watching a game trailer known as "the light of domestic 3A", its technical director actually appeared in front of him.

Wen Yong, surnamed Zhao, graduated from the Department of Software Engineering at Sun Yat-sen University. He is not shy about saying that since he came into contact with "Red Alert" at the age of eight, he has been bound to the game in his life so far, and he believes that he has some talent for programming. He got this major because he likes playing games.

In college, he participated in Microsoft’s Imagine Cup (Microsoft’s technology competition for global students) and entered the semi-finals. At that time, he led a small team of five students and completed a shooting game project that he thought was pretty good. In 2009, he entered Tencent as an intern. After graduating in 2010, he became a regular and joined Feng Ji’s project team.

Feng Ji introduced Wen Yong to me, saying that he is a rare all-round player in the company. Although he is the technical director and is responsible for the main program of multiple projects, he will also make cameo appearances in game design from time to time. He often talks to the village chief and Yang Qi about the design of levels and gameplay, and often comes up with some good ideas.

Wen Yong smiled and said, in fact, he is a "handyman". It is not a talent that has developed this ability, but when he first entered the project team, as a newcomer, no one helped him realize some ideas. He can only rely on himself to complete it.

In Tencent’s project, Wen Yong has done user interface interaction, programming, and planning. He even once transferred to the WeChat department to do background message architecture. However, he did not feel very happy in the two months of WeChat, on the one hand, because this position requires 24 hours on standby, ready to deal with emergencies in the background at any time, and he was once criticized by the leader for missing an emergency call because he slept too much late at night; on the other hand, it is mainly because he is far away from the game, and he feels that it is not interesting to be a pure code farmer.

So when Feng Ji extended an olive branch to him in Game Science, he agreed without much hesitation. He said that many companies had come to poach him at that time, but he felt that these people were not very reliable. But Feng ****** a deep impression of him.

The first project of game science was "Baijiang Xing", which was a mobile game similar to "Dota Legend" gameplay. Wen Yong said that when mobile games first took off, they were very disapproving, because the mobile games at that time were very average in performance due to technical and hardware limitations, and they were completely different from the console games he had played. But later it was found that with the continuous improvement of mobile phone performance, mobile games can also make pictures similar to the quality of console games, so mobile games have improved.

As the technical director, Wen Yong doesn’t just complete the main program work. He also often "challenges" Feng Ji in the system and gameplay planning of the game. For example, when making "Art of War: Red Tide", Wen Yong questioned the core gameplay at that time, the process from the player making a decision to seeing the effect was too long, and finally persuaded Feng Ji to make adjustments. "But I don’t always intervene in everything, and I will only mention it to him when I see something I can’t bear."

The project of "Black Myth: Wukong" was actually first proposed by Yang Qi in 2016. At that time, the project of "Baijiang Xing" was nearing the end, and everyone was discussing what to do next. Yang Qi’s idea was actually not opposed, but the biggest problem was that as a stand-alone game project, the commercial input-output ratio at that time was too low. "In addition, we may still lack some accumulation or running-in in technology. There are many technical things I can know how to achieve, but we don’t have enough people or experienced teams to do this."

Wen Yong even said that from the perspective of pure programming technology, the development difficulty of "Black Myth: Wukong" is even lower than that of "Art of War: Red Tide" in some dimensions, because the latter wanted to achieve 100-to-100 large-scale war scenes on mobile phones at that time, and it was necessary to calculate and advance in real time. The picture is also realistic. This challenge has many obstacles, but "Wukong", an action game, has not exceeded the technical limit I have mastered. Of course, this is also because after two mobile game projects, the team has expanded, and the development experience and mutual cooperation have also run well. "

But this doesn’t mean that "Black Myth: Wukong" is a very simple project. From the depth and breadth of this project alone, Wen Yong can explore a lot of directions in this project. In his words, "Wukong" is a more attractive project, and doing such a project will make him enjoy it more. Unlike when he was doing "Red Tide", his mentality was almost always on the verge of collapse, forcing him to complete various impossible challenges in two years. "My hair fell the most on this mobile game project."

Wen Yong was also a "cloud player" when he was a student, because he couldn’t afford a console, and many games were made up after taking a job and buying a console. Wen Yong’s taste in playing games is also very mixed, but he is more reluctant to the bloody and violent part of the game, including the QTE of Kui Ye’s large number of violent actions in "God of War 3". In addition, he doesn’t like zombie and zombie-themed games, so the "Resident Evil" series and the "Last Survivor" series are also "cloud clearance".

The only exception may be "Dark Souls 3". In Wen Yong’s words, this game is just on the edge of the horror and violence he can accept. At first, he heard that it was difficult, but after he started playing it, he found that he could accept it.

After playing enough action games, Wen Yong’s understanding of this category becomes deeper. He believes that although the IP itself is their moat, the most important difference between these different action games is the core experience. Everyone is an action game, but they play it completely differently. Under this premise, it seems that various sub-categories of action games have been done by others, and simply imitating a certain category may be a dead end, and it is easy for players to think that they are copying.

In the initial stage of developing "Black Myth: Wukong", the biggest problem for Wen Yong was the manpower problem. As the technical director of the company, he was responsible for multiple projects at the same time, so once he encountered any problems in the project and had to solve them himself, he had to often go back and forth between the Shenzhen and Hangzhou studios of Game Science. This time, the project used UE4, a new engine they had not used before, and they encountered more problems at the beginning. Wen Yong was a little tired.

Wen Yong’s role in the team seems to be to solve problems at any time, because as the main program of the project, any planning requirements or art features in the game will eventually be implemented by him in code. He still remembers that when he decided to show the clips from the Black Wind Mountain level, after the first version came out, he was a little flustered, because the effect was so far from what he expected, it was almost impossible to see.

With the continuous evolution and adjustment of the version, the effect of the demonstration is more and more reassuring, but from Wen Yong’s point of view, there is still a lot of room for optimization. For example, the hair effect of Ling Xuzi, at first everyone had no experience, so they could only explore the plan to achieve it by themselves. Until the end, Wen Yong still felt a little worried that the effect was not very good. However, after the trailer was released, he was relieved to see that even David Jaffe, the producer of the original "God of War", praised the hair effect, but still felt that he could do better.

This 13-minute demo took about four or five months, and until the final version was finalized, Wen Yong still felt that it would be "a little unsafe" to release it like this. But Wen Yong had no idea of the effect of the trailer after it was released. He thought it would be good to have one or two million views of this trailer, but he did not expect that after the trailer was released at 10 am on Thursday, the popularity of this trailer was obviously "a little out of control."

Wen Yong felt a little flattered, and of course he was very happy, because he didn’t expect to be so popular, but what followed was an invisible pressure. Before this, the team didn’t have a particularly clear goal on how much time it would take to complete the project, but now there must be a clearer plan for the time to complete the project. And before, he felt that if the first generation didn’t do well, he could continue to be the second generation and the third generation, but now it seems to have become a state of "success or benevolence". If it doesn’t work well, it will be doomed. "This is actually not the result we expected."

The first problem for Wen Yong now is to quickly build the program and technical team to be more complete. The project still lacks a lot of talents in many specific types of work. He feels that three years is the minimum time for this project to achieve a satisfactory result. "But for me, at least if this is a work without regrets, I certainly hope that the game will eventually sell well, but for me, this is not a matter of sales, but for myself, I want to like playing this game, and this game needs to satisfy myself. This is the state I pursue."

Deng Chao, the director of "My Hometown and Me", has made new progress!


1905 movie network feature The third day of the National Day box office counterattack has also become the fastest National Day film to break 1.10 billion yuan box office.


The five unit short films in the film have different audiences’ impressions. Among them, although the "Road Home" directed by Deng Chao and Yu Baimei is not the best one in the public evaluation, it has also achieved a certain comedic effect and emotional expression that fits the theme.

 

"We also know that the level is indeed better than when we first started," Deng Chao and Yu Baimei said in our interview. If a two-hour movie is compared to a grade, they have now entered "the third and a half grades" from "The Road Back Home."


Deng Chao and Yu Baimei were interviewed by 1905 Movie Network

 

"We still have many books to finish. We can only continue to deepen our learning through practice. In the project we will do soon, think about what problems we had last time. We hope that each time we perform better than last time."

 

Deng Chao and Yu Baimei admitted that if "The Road Back Home" were remade now, they believe it would be better than it was then.

 

The filmmaking duo, who made three and a half films in six years and called themselves "directing students" in the "third and a half years," knew that graduation was still some time away, or that, on this so-called directing path, there would never be a day when they would actually graduate.

 

Behind the scenes: Deng Chao gaining weight and growing a beard, Wu Jingcheng "action guidance"


The story of "The Road Back Home" is inspired by director Yu Baimei’s observation and experience of changes in his hometown.

 

In 2018, he returned to his hometown in northern Shaanxi and saw that the Loess Plateau, which used to be full of rocks and ravines, had become green, and millions of acres of the Mu Us Desert had also been successfully greened. He wanted to write a story about this theme.


In the process of conception, Yu Baimei just saw the news that Yulin had successfully developed the sand apple, "They are digging pits in the desert, and after digging the pits, they put loess in the sand, and after putting the loess, they plant fruit seedlings. The seedlings are also wrapped in plastic sheets for fear of water loss, and then they need to be watered continuously. Because northern Shaanxi is relatively dry, it is very difficult in the desert."

 

Yu Baimei introduced that it took seven or eight years to develop the sand apple before it was finally successful. The difference between it and the Three North Shelter Forest is that it has both a sand prevention effect and a cash crop. Combining the Mu Us Desert with the sand apple, there is a story background for "The Road Back Home".


Co-director Deng Chao is still starring this time. In order to play Qiao Shulin, a seemingly opportunistic and full of lies, the local boss who is called "Joe’s richest man",He wants to look "greasy" on the outside, grow a beard, gain weight, and "eat his belly out".


As a native of Jiangxi, Deng Chao also had to learn to speak Northern Shaanxi dialect. He said that it was really difficult to learn Northern Shaanxi dialect, "It was me and Wu Jing who struggled more. Of course, Wang Yuan won.

 

Wang Yuan is the only actor who did not ask for correction in the later dubbing stage. He directly used the original sound on the spot, and Deng Chao and Wu Jing both got the dubbing shed to re-record, and the teacher in northern Shaanxi pronounced it word by word.


Yu Baimei revealed to us a little voice-in-the-scene: "The northern Shaanxi dialect has very heavy nasal requirements, and Deng Chao and Wu Jing were forced to fold in the end, stuffed with toilet paper and blocked their noses. Teacher Shaanxi said this has a smell, but this is more like it."

 

Mr. Wu has made three consecutive guest appearances in films directed by Deng Chao and Yu Baimei, from "The Breakup Master" to "The Milky Way Tutorial School" to "The Road Back Home." This time, he played the owner of a snack bar in northern Shaanxi. Although he did not show the action scenes he is good at, he volunteered to become the "action director" on the set.


In Miao Fu’s appearance, he needed to brake suddenly at a fixed point in the frame of the camera. For him, who had not driven a car for many years, this action was very difficult. Miao Fu drove many times and couldn’t stop to the designated location.

 

Wu Jing, who was in the same scene, couldn’t help but take a big cushion and put it at the front, instructing Miao Fu to drive directly into the cushion, and step on the brakes as soon as he heard the sound of the collision. Miao Fu followed Wu Jing’s suggestion and finally succeeded.

 

Miao Fu’s legs went soft after getting off the bus, "He didn’t expect him to be acting in an action play." Deng Chao also imitated Wu Jing’s state of being guided unconsciously on the set, "Let’s see how to put this, come, okay, wait for this… Teacher Wu Jing doesn’t want sand in his eyes."

"The Road Back Home" was filmed for 26 days and was the third film of "My Hometown and Me." Yu Baimei used "heartbreak" and "gritting teeth and cutting love" to describe the editing stage. The original duration of each group was basically about 40 minutes, and the five groups were 200 minutes. Considering the theater, audience and various factors, they also had to shorten the scene and cut some shots.

 

Why did Deng Chao and Yu Baimei make progress in making movies?


Deng Chao in "The Road Back Home" and Ge You in "Good People in Beijing" are actually a kind of people who share the same characteristics: they love to lie and play tricks, but they also complete the appropriate response to the main theme proposition.

 

They all attempt to create a scam by themselves, with the ultimate goal of achieving kindness to others and to their hometown.

 

The image of Qiao Shulin portrayed by Deng Chao was very distinct. He was wearing a polo shirt with a slightly wrinkled blazer, a briefcase under his arm, and sunglasses on the bridge of his nose. He looked like a down-to-earth local tyrant, not to mention a "fake local tyrant".


In the comedy section, "The Road Back Home" is not the laughing fruit of "The Breakup Master" and "The Villain Angel", but uses Deng Chao’s disguised identity as a local tyrant and his mouth when he fooled "Cargo Queen" Yan Ni to make jokes, such as forcibly doing first class, forcibly rubbing group photos, unable to afford hotels, and using bus cards to swipe to pay.


Why is it that Deng Chao and Yu Baimei have made progress in this film than before, not only in terms of comedy, but also in their success in shaping a relatively plump screen character?A pitiful and lovely Qiao Lin, Deng Chao also played him quite realistically and interestingly.

 

At the end of the story, a speech story reversal subverted Qiao Shulin’s disliked image as a liar at first. He was the one who really contributed to his hometown. In order to successfully grow and sell sand apples, and lead the villagers to poverty reduction and wealth, he was willing to invest all his money in desert greening and apple development, and even fell into bankruptcy.


Yan Ni’s live streaming host Yan Feiyan also showed a high-minded, arrogant and rude appearance at the beginning. Along the way, she gradually led to her poor childhood and growing up.


Both "The Road Back Home" and Xu Zheng’s "The Last Lesson" depict rural teachers – Teacher Fan and Mother Gao – whose inculcation to their students has nurtured a generation of young people who work together to build their hometown and change the face of their hometown. The same is true of Qiao Shulin, the son of Mother Gao, and Yan Feiyan, who finally changed her attitude.

 

Yu Baimei said: "Your hometown can be your teacher. There is a teacher Gao in’Galaxy Tutorial School ‘. This time I wrote about another mother Gao, who was a teacher who deeply influenced me in my hometown." From Yan Ni touching Gao’s mother’s red headscarf after getting on the plane to her climbing to the top of the mountain to see her new alma mater, these brushstrokes also stem from Yu Baimei’s true nostalgia for his teacher.


The connection between "The Road Home" and "The Milky Way Tutoring School" also includes the male protagonists Horned Horse Haowen and Qiao Shulin. They are also the same kind of people, both of whom are not understood by the outside world and misunderstood by others. They are all down-and-out fathers who have experienced glory and fallen to the bottom at the peak of their careers.

 

"The Road Back Home" also has various problems left by "Galaxy Cram School", which needs to be further optimized and improved by Deng Chao and Yu Baimei in creation.Using a tearful student speech to reverse the image of the character inevitably fell into a didactic sense, and also made Qiao Shulin too tall.


No matter what, "The Road Back Home" still had the greatest advantage of "My Hometown and Me" as a whole. It was a movie with "human flavor". There were no absolute good people and no absolute bad people.

 

It is to use less perfect little people, with small changes in human feelings, to project the inner operating laws of the Chinese countryside, and to reflect the grand proposition of the changes of the times.

 

We are beginners in directing and watch the same movie textbook as Wu Jing


Three of the directors of the five units of "My Hometown and Me" are "acting is good" – Xu Zheng, Chen Sicheng and Deng Chao, and their directorial debuts are also box office hits.

 

Deng Chao and Yu Baimei firstThe first co-directed film "Break Up Master" won the summer domestic film box office championship with 665 million yuan in 2014. But what does not match the box office is the criticism of the low quality of the work to the bottom.


At that time, Deng Chao said in an interview with 1905 Film Network: "I hated Deng Chao even more before filming’The Breakup Master ‘. For example, I would complain about other people’s works and compare things… After I finished a movie completely, I knew how difficult it was to be a filmmaker, and then I said I would never complain again."

 

When it came to "Villain Angel", the infamy of bad movies came one after another. A first-class actor, along with Yu Baimei, was named "an underclass director", and Deng Chao gradually understood how difficult it was to make a movie.


Deng Chao and Yu Baimei admitted that the commercial success of "The Breakup Master" was a fluke, and they began to wonder what it was like to be a director. "Neither of us are actually professional directors. After each shooting, the most discussed thing is the review. We still feel like beginners in directing, and there are many secrets we don’t know."

 

Obviously, from "Breakup Master", "Villain Angel" to "Galaxy Tutoring School", Douban’s score has also increased from 4 or 5 to 6, and this time "The Road Back Home" can also see a little improvement.


"Galaxy School" can even be seen as a watershed moment in the filmmaking of the directors’ co-directors, moving from a rambunctious comedy to a work with more emotional depth.


Wu Jing, who has made many guest appearances, is the object they have always wanted to cooperate deeply. During the filming of Wu Jing’s scene in "The Road Back Home", Deng Chao and Wu Jing simultaneously received an invitation to cooperate in the film "Kumgang River" to resist the United States and aid Korea. They also hope that the three can find an opportunity to make a feature film together.

 

Deng Chao, Yu Baimei, and Wu Jing also had a small group in common, and the most talked about their own gains and losses as directors. They bought movie textbooks together, read the same book, and saw that a certain page was related to the movie they shot. They would take screenshots and send them to the group to share the problems encountered during filming, help each other, and make progress together.


For the future, Deng Chao and Yu Baimei do not make too many assumptions. What is clear is that they will make genre filmsSeveral projects will not be comedies, but the comedic elements will always exist in a certain proportion, and even the two people will not always be bound together as directors, with the possibility of independent directing.
