The Oscar-winning venture is not a good artist, 36 Krypton interview with Oz.

Jared Leto, wearing a Silicon Valley farmer's red plaid T-shirt, appeared in front of 36 krypton, a blonde spread, like the incubator landlord Erlich backman in the very American drama Silicon Valley (the role is said to be partly insinuate jobs).

Although at that moment my heart is not sure to give his talent to play a few minutes, but the heart has silently to the friend to paste the value of the performance and the performance of the label, engineering lion style should be so driven by such a type!

He was actually quiet as a handsome man is very good, and then draw the sound of this sentence

Some people are too annoying, obviously can rely on the face to eat, but also to and we spell talent. (attached to the pioneering before the blood side Yan Zhao ... ）

Yes, this is Leto's first exclusive interview from China, and he never thought it would be as open as an entrepreneur or an investor. The 71st-year Golden Globe Laureate, the best supporting actor in the 2014 new Academy of Oscar, founded the live concert and interactive website Vyrt, E-commerce and social media hive in the past few years, allowing fans to directly find the star's Adventures in Wonderland. Never heard of it? There is also his investment in Nest, Cytopathic, Zenefits, Surf Air, radius, and so on, there is always a paragraph you have heard.

"Actually, I've always been more than an actress."

"I like the role of entrepreneur better than investors. This is my favorite of all the characters as an actor, a singer, an artist, an investor, a startup person. I love it. Create something from scratch and share it. I will be very sensitive to the details, for example, I will be very concerned about the design of the product and UX, to look good. ”

Basically, I still want to define him as an artist, although he has just uttered an internet term such as UX. Well, at the beginning of the interview, I was not able to judge his talent index in the role set of technology, but after he took out his iphone 6 and the full screen app, I silently drew him as an insider.

"I'm very curious about how technology can innovate to solve problems and wonder how technology will change art and people's lives." ”

I knew he was wearing sunglasses in New York, low-key travel is trapped by the rain will himself to call a Uber, and friends like to use Viber, he is as crazy as we are Yelper, and the company colleagues are Slack fans, not to mention Instagram this standard app. Leto says you can't imagine life without Instagram, because "it's so important to share real time with a star and an artist, which is quick and easy, cool!" ”

Nest Mobile, a perennial app on Jared handsets and one of his most proud investments, was bought by Google at $3.2 billion earlier this year. Why did you vote? "Because I like to use it." ”

He's busy, sometimes he doesn't get back to L.A. for months. But as long as home, car in the hillside will use mobile phone to remote control home temperature, and then go home, home is warm, Leto think this thing like its name "nest", bring people warm home feeling. "I like this feeling so much, so why not vote?" ”

So I know, say so much, in fact three words--"by feeling." "In addition, it (Nest) looks good." "Well, as I was beginning to care about design and UX, the nature of an actor and an artist is exposed."

He was also one of the first investors in Zenefits, when Zenefits only 15 individuals, then the investment showed a 1300% annual growth rate, currently Zenefits has 130 employees, received a B round of financing 66.5 million dollars.

He went on to say that the main investment of the start-up companies is people.

Maybe it was Leto acting too good to say from his mouth that these words are not like to be fooled, nor like advertising. It can be said that he has a basic product and investment feel, although it seems that the feeling to add a Yan value parameter to help him determine.

I got the message from an actor, but I'm pretty sure it's not just an actor. I would like to know how the man with sapphire eyes and long blond hair is wearing this kind of code to come to me, and the technology has such a deep ... In his words, "very curious" feelings.

Technology is changing Hollywood and everything.

Today's Los Angeles is another paradise for entrepreneurs. Hollywood is so close, along the coastline of Venice Beach, Google has settled into its South plus office, the gas and high cold Snapchat, Oculus, Beats, and so on, to create another venture outside the Silicon Valley, the scale of the world's third.

Leto turned the blue eyes of the sea and told him that he knew it. After moving from New York to La 22 years ago, he never left the land, knowing every change. "Before the streets of Hollywood there were teenagers with musical dreams, just like me. Now walking in Hollywood, there is a good chance someone will come to tell you that he has a project seeking financing. ”

Actors are always very sensitive, he said, five years ago.

How the hell did you smell it? Maybe it's just the natural intuition that accompanies the above, probably the message from his friends in Silicon Valley. Leto and the Silicon Valley CEO are keeping--as he says, "Buddy"--the frequency of his current trip to Hollywood's Silicon Valley is once a month.

The world is leveling. There has never been such a violent chemical reaction in a very short period of time between points and points, and there has never been a relationship between different forms of objects, as it is now, in any space, however distant. From the Leto of my identity across the border, from the vague ambiguity of Silicon Valley and Hollywood, we all exclaimed: Wow, the world is so flat. ”

"The catalysts for these changes and chemical reactions are technology. Leto himself uttered this remark. This is a bit close to the truth, explaining why the new Oscar best supporting actor, thirty Seconds to Mars lead singer Jared Leto will sit in front of me, and I am interviewing entrepreneurs and investors Jared Leto.

He changed also jump the fierce, suddenly said Youku. Yes, in Chinese, and then a sly smile. Originally Youku, YouTube such music sharing platform, it is the impact of Jared and let him enter the technology of the ship that source.

"And itunes,spotify, these platforms have revolutionized the way music is shared, changed the way people consume, and changed the way musicians share their music." "He was thrilled when he first came in contact with such websites. Is it possible to affect their income as musicians, I do not have the nerve to ask directly. He said his first thought was: "Technology, this is probably the most cool crazy thing." It can change everything! ”

Leto also thought about the income problem. Music and video become invisible and accessible everywhere, with fewer barriers to capturing and sharing them, and new problems arise, such as plagiarism, and copyright issues in the commercialization process. "If other goods are so devalued as music and film, we are now afraid of being poor." I'm afraid that technology can really be so strong. ”

Thinking in depth, Leto found that in the current information explosion, music and film and television will also face: more difficult to find the time of the audience, it is difficult to excavate new artists, it is difficult to obtain real valuable content. Seeing these problems and challenges, he also saw the perfect time to dive into technology.

He started flying from Hollywood to Silicon Valley, then invested 40 dozen companies in just a few years and created three.

Oh man West Coast is so close to China!

Indeed, not only Hollywood, but more and more Wall Street people are migrating to Silicon Valley. Wall Street bankers are taking off their suits and walking out of high-rise buildings, into the forest and the sun. This reflects from one side that the phenomenon of cross-border integration is already very common. On the other side, if America's years of prosperity depend, to some extent, on the region's closest European continent. What about the West coast? There is no doubt that the closest is China.

I just said that all the above is the derivation of the spirit of the Internet. Jared Leto, It's also about.

He asked for a real ad time and wanted to pitch his first company, Vyrt, a live concert platform to connect singers and fans all over the world. I said: "Ok,jared you use a word to describe the Vyrt bar." "His answer was like a real product--

"Vyrt is a pure technology company that records and shares live broadcasts in a social way, providing an ongoing market platform for artists, including the concert itself, follow-up interviews, and peripheral content, as well as making sure that they can make a profit." ”

Site properties, methodology, results, profit points, every factor he said. The scene opens Vyrt, as I thought, the page is very beautiful, the live chat function can receive the performer's reply.

But about the live site itself how to bring back to the performers, how to increase the effect of the unpredictable, how to live in the early stage to give concerts to warm up and so on, Jared now can not answer. But he understands that there are a lot of singers in the US and Europe who want to go on tour in China, but not every one has the qualifications and the ability; Chinese fans can't always come to Hollywood or New York to see the show, and the site might be a bit of a favor.

See, once again proves that the world is flatten by technology.

As for the future, Leto says he can think of the fact that art-making, such as recordings, may not exist, or that the form is merely a souvenir. But the advent of television did not kill the radio, nor let the film disappear. So in his worldview, the technology is not completely obliterated.

"Many people still wear watches today, although they can view the time from their phones," he said. Let's wait and see, it's certain that technology will create a more interesting future. ”

His future wish, Jared thought, and said, "Make a film about China." ”

Will there be technological elements? Possibility, large.
