Huayu: From charlatan to great entertainer

Chapter 247: Xiao Liu's first gold medal, the question-the-world video goes viral!
There is an intensive film awards season around the world between November and March of the following year.

in the country, it is currently a two-in-one Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers;
Taiwan's Golden Horse Awards are usually held in December;
In the United States, the awards season begins with the Golden Globe Awards in January, and dozens of film awards may be presented one after another, forming an entire awards season.

After attending the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Awards, Lu Kuan prepared to finish work on "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" and then rushed to North America to prepare for the public relations before the Golden Globe Awards and the Oscars.

The next day, the film festival full of Chinese characteristics officially opened.

The red carpet ceremony is still indispensable, but for Liu Yifei, these procedures have become commonplace.

Putting aside other things, when it comes to the style and experience of walking on the red carpet, she is the only domestic actress besides Gong Li and Zhang Ziyi.

Chinese actors Liang Jiahui and Liu Yifei from the "Foreign Land" crew passed by and received the warmest cheers from the audience.

Although it has been nearly two months since she stopped filming, Liu Yifei's last work "Hanfu Elegant Gathering" has undoubtedly once again increased her exposure and reputation.

The status of the "First Concubine" has been steadily rising, and even Jang Nara, the foreign nun who has the greatest hope of challenging her, is still a long way behind.

The huge gap in movie box office alone is enough for South Korea to catch up for several years.

After posing beautifully for photos, Xiao Liu took photos with Liang Jiahui and Lu Kuan, and then signed autographs and entered the venue with ease.

Zhang Ziyi, one of the four little beauties, was waiting for her at the entrance.

"Sissi! Congratulations!"

Concubine Liu Yi smiled brightly, doing her best to save face: "Thank you, Sister Ziyi."

There is no need to say much congratulations, this year's awards may be the least controversial one in history.

But Concubine Liu Yi felt a little annoyed and didn't like her calling her like that.

She was even more aware of his deliberate arrogance at first and respectfulness later.

Just like Jiang Yiyan, it's not that she has a change of heart, but that she is afraid.

What she was afraid of was the young director next to her.

Boss Lu smiled and said, "Ziyi, I heard from Harvey that your performance in Memoirs of a Geisha was very good?"

Zhang Ziyi's mind flashed back to that terrifying figure. At the cocktail party after the last promotion meeting, she was almost killed by him...

This is just another warning.

She replied cautiously, watching Liu Yifei walk away leaning intimately against Boss Lu, her eyes filled with jealousy and regret.

Others may not know, but Zhang Ziyi recognized the Dior Haute Couture piece she was wearing, which is Galliano's latest October autumn and winter model.

Then it is self-evident why Dio stood up to him last time.

If I hadn't been so hesitant and reluctant to give up "Ten Sides of Ambush", if I hadn't been injured...

So the current box office champion heroine in history is herself, and she is also the kung fu actress who is popular in North America.

Maybe it will be me who is walking beside Lu Kuan with his shoulders leaning on him!

Everything Liu Yifei owns now should be hers!

Zhang Ziyi thought of Mr. Huo from Hong Kong, whom she had just been dating for a few months. It was time to put marrying into a wealthy family on the agenda, otherwise she would be like a helpless little white flower.

Allowed to be destroyed by others.

The backstage before the award ceremony officially begins is basically a time for acquaintances to greet and socialize.

Feng Yuanzheng patted Boss Lu on the shoulder from behind and said, "What's the subject of your next movie? Consider me?"

Lu Kuan smiled and said, "Teacher Feng, your value has increased now. If you give me a discount, I would consider it."

Feng Yuanzheng was a drama fanatic. According to his future development path, he should have devoted himself to drama performances, occasionally playing roles in some TV dramas, until he became the president of the People's Art Theatre.

However, after he won the Venice Film Festival Best Actor Award for "Whiplash", his value soared and he received many acting offers.

In this life, he was chosen to be the second male lead in Zhang Yimou's "A One Man's Journey", who served as the Japanese translator for the protagonist Ken Takakura.

"Director Lu, you haven't forgotten your original intention. You're just as stingy as you were three years ago. Back then, the crew had to ask you for approval even for a drink."

Concubine Liu Yi firmly agreed: "It's almost the same now!"

Everyone laughed, and Feng Yuanzheng turned to talk to him about another topic.

"Xiaolu, I'm currently in charge of acting instruction at the People's Art Theatre. Can you come and give lessons to the actors when you have time?"

"Ah? Why would I teach a theater actor? Besides, we're both learning moves from the same school, there's no difference."

Feng Yuanzheng smiled bitterly: "The domestic theatrical performance environment is indeed not good now. It was not a big deal before, but the film industry has been booming in the past two years."

"The young actors in the academy all have different aspirations. A while ago, a young man came to me and wanted to apply to the Beijing Film Academy."

"I asked him why, and he said there's a difference between theatre acting and film acting. He said he wanted to study film acting as well in order to make it onto the big screen in the future."

"When it comes to training movie actors, I think you can even be one of the best, so I'd like to ask you..."

Feng Yuanzheng gestured to Liu Yifei, meaning, "Don't refuse. Your work is right here. You might have to go and receive the award later."

It's a pity that Boss Lu has no interest in such a cost-effective thing. Even if there are good actors in the People's Art Theatre, he knows them all. Going to class can at most help him accumulate more reputation.

"Okay, wait until I come back from the United States and see what's going on, okay?"

Feng Yuanzheng knew that this matter could not be forced, so he could only make an appointment first.

However, when Feng Yuanzheng talked about the poor environment for theatrical performances just now, he thought of Happy Twist, which should be struggling now as well, right?
Regarding the matter of artist management, Lu Kuan took out his cell phone and sent a text message to Lu Yao.

"Road guide."

It was a familiar greeting, but without the redness of enemies meeting each other.

Wang Dajun came over with Jang Nara, who had no works nominated and was just there to make her presence felt.

Amidst the clamor of swords, spears, axes, halberds, hooks and forks below the stage, the two heads of the country's largest private companies were still chatting and laughing.

"Director Lu, thank you Wenjie for choosing Bingbing in the end. She is very grateful to you and hopes to treat you to a meal if there is a chance."

"Oh, no problem."

Boss Lu smiled noncommittally and said, "We also have to thank Huayi for letting Baoqiang play Shagen. I'm very optimistic about the box office performance of A World Without Thieves."

Although it may just be perfunctory and polite, Wang Dajun was still particularly happy to hear such comments from the person who can be said to be the person who understands film marketing best in the mainland.

Besides, the only films competing with him in the industry are Ning Hao's low-budget "Crazy Journey" (formerly Heart Flower Road), Huayi's "A World Without Thieves" and Zhou Xingchi's "Kung Fu Hustle", so he has nothing to worry about.

As long as it is not competing with Lu Kuan’s own films, Huayi can confidently say that Feng Xiaogang is the well-deserved King of Lunar New Year.

After the "arms race", Huayi's growth can be said to be rapid.

Although the change of ownership of Jiahe made Zhou Jun, who had always been ambitious and gentle, lose his composure and curse.

But for the two brothers, the in-depth cooperation with Internet companies such as Xinlang and Tom.com indicates that Huayi will step onto a bigger stage.

The onlookers all listened to the conversation between the two with a gloomy mood, but unfortunately the expected blushing and angry expressions did not appear.

Finally, the 24th Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Film Festival hosted by Ni Ping officially opened, but the award ceremony was uneventful.

Best Feature Film: "Foreign Land", Best Director: Lu Kuan: "Foreign Land", Best Supporting Actor: Liang Jiahui: "Foreign Land".

And Xiao Liu's first Best Actress!

The film festival thoughtfully arranged for Lu Kuan and Zhou Xun to present the award to her.

This is just like arranging seating when inviting guests to a dinner. When presenting awards, we will try to find guests who have good relationships and are familiar to us, especially when they have just experienced a severe public opinion storm.

Concubine Liu Yi was in a calm mood. She was no longer the young girl who had just started out.

Having participated in various red carpets and award ceremonies at the three major events in the past three years, she knows that the Best Actress award at the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Awards is just a trivial achievement.

She inevitably thought of Cannes in May, when Zhang Manyu was as elegant as a chrysanthemum when she won the Cannes Best Actress Award.

After feeling the vastness of the starry sky, you will no longer be obsessed with fireflies. Her threshold has been raised too high.

Once you truly step into the world of performing arts, you will want to get more.

Of course, in the eyes of many other female stars, this is already the peak of their lives, after all, it is one of the three major Chinese film awards.

Flashes of light flashed, and countless envious and jealous eyes were focused.

For example, Zhang Nara with a complicated expression, Yang Mi with an expressionless face, and Bingbing in front of the TV.

The most enthusiastic ones are the fans in the live broadcast room of Blog.com.

After experiencing the negative news attacks in October, they started to sound the clarion call for a counterattack from the Hanfu Yaji.

Song Zude has been brought to justice, and Zhang Nara's arrogance some time ago has also been curbed. The world that strongly supports Liu Yifei has completed the construction of the entire industry chain.

The 17-year-old girl who had experienced ruthless online violence walked through that rugged mountain road. After the hit of "Hanfu Yaji", she stood on the stage of the highest domestic film award for the first time.

Concubine Liu Yi walked onto the stage leisurely and took a deep breath.

"Thank you to my parents, Beijing Film Academy, and all the crew members of 'Alien Land'. This honor belongs to all of you."

"I will never forget the four-month filming experience, and the feeling of not being able to lift my arms after each scene."

"I will never forget the earnest guidance given to me by Teacher Xue Jian on the North American crew, and I will never forget the roadshow experience that took me around the world in just two weeks."

She paused, smiled, and turned her head to look at Boss Lu behind her.

"Of course, there's also my director Lu Kuan, even though I was the one who got scolded and cried the most on the set."

Everyone in the audience laughed.

"From the first time I met Director Lu Kuan three years ago, he spoke frankly to me."

"Liu Yifei, you are an actor without talent, life experience, or experience. You must work harder than everyone else."

"He often said that there is no more harmful evaluation in the world than the word 'not bad'."

Concubine Liu Yi couldn't help but feel her eyes red.

"Today, I may have barely done well, but my goal is not just that. I want to be the best I can be, just like he asked me to be!"

"The road is wide, thank you!"

The little girl turned towards him, and Boss Lu very gentlemanly embraced her in his arms and patted her back gently.

Zhou Xun stood beside her with a smile on her face.

The audience burst into applause, and the reporters in the audience were snapping photos frantically to capture this heartwarming moment.

Many people have seen the behind-the-scenes footage of "Alien Land" before its release in previous advertising and marketing videos.

In the camera shots, Liu Yifei always collapses beside the prop box due to exhaustion, and Liu Xiaoli massages her cervical spine and other joints to relax her.

Or he would do morning exercises with Li Xuejian in the early morning and rehearse the day's scenes.

Behind her glamorous appearance, everyone sees an unknown hardship.

Liu Xiaoli cried, and the fans in the live broadcast room also cried.

They hastily left encouraging messages on Liu Yifei's homepage, and then frantically flooded the screen with messages under the photo in the live broadcast room.

"Let her go, that washing machine!"

"Kill the washing machine and grab Sissi!"

"Let go of Sissi, or I'll make your washing machine stop working!"

. . .

After the award ceremony, there was a singing and dancing performance. Lu Kuan went out to answer a phone call and was pulled aside by Huang Xiaoming who followed him out.

He has no films nominated this year and is the guest of honor for the awards.

"Director Lu, I'm sorry to bother you. Do you have time to chat for a minute?"

"Brother Huang, why are you being so polite to me? Tell me."

The two of them walked to a secluded place, and Huang Xiaoming rarely asked for a cigarette and lit it.

"Director Lu, is your company still short of people?"

This was said with a smile, but Lu Kuan saw a hint of bitterness on the face of Huang Xiaoming, who became famous because of "The Emperor of Han Dynasty".

As mentioned before, Huang Xiaoming’s current agency contract is signed with Century Element, which is the company of Chen Guanxi’s father, and he is known as Brother Jiu.

Ninth Brother has a close relationship with Hua Guoxing and Eagle King.

The reason why Chen Guanxi's debut was so smooth was because he asked Li Shoucheng to create a star according to Xie's template.

Huang Xiaoming has the support of a big boss in the Hong Kong circle, so his development prospects are actually very promising, but his luck is too bad. In the past few years, Jiu Ge’s assets have collapsed and his business has been getting worse and worse.

Among them, its listed company "Junlei International" directly turned from a luxury stock into a penny stock, and Jiu Ge's net worth evaporated by nearly 100 million yuan.

Huang Xiaoming actually had the idea of ​​leaving Century Elements a long time ago, and he asked Lu Kuan for a way out because of the mess between him and Century Elements during this period of time.

Jiu Ge's business collapsed, so he increased revenue and reduced expenditure. He audited the accounts of his artists and found that Huang Xiaoming had signed an acting contract with Zhang Jizhong's "The Return of the Condor Heroes" crew without the company's knowledge.

According to the contract, Huang Xiaoming had to hand over 2006% of his remuneration as commission until the expiration of the contract on December 12, 31.

But the boss was unwilling to give up. In the past two years, Century Elements had not introduced any decent resources to him.

The role in "The Return of the Condor Heroes" was obtained by himself and Big Beard by "competing" for it from Nie Yuan, who had defected to the other party, Ciwen Media.

At present, Century Elements has taken him to court. Regardless of who wins or loses the lawsuit in the end, the termination of the contract between the two parties is a foregone conclusion.

Xiaoming had been caring for Boss Lu for so long, and had also deliberately made friends with Liu Yifei, and he wondered if he could take this opportunity to sign in to Wenjie.

That's like a new hope after a dark period.

But what puzzled him was that Zhang Jizhong, who had always been on good terms with Lu Kuan, actually signed with Huayi?

Of course, Huang Xiaoming couldn't get any key information from the bearded man, so he had to shamelessly recommend himself.

Lu Kuan hesitated for two seconds and said, "To be honest, Senior Brother Huang, I am still very willing to cooperate with you."

This beginning made the boss feel a little desperate.

I'm sorry, you're a good person.

"But the industry is currently overcrowded with male artists, and we can't produce more high-quality artists to train."

"Even Wang Baoqiang has to play a supporting role in Huayi's films."

Although this is just an excuse, it sounds quite plausible.

"Okay, Director Lu, I'm just asking casually, haha."

Huang Xiaoming has a very high emotional intelligence and is not discouraged at all.

He was not worried about having nowhere to go, he just wanted to strive for his first choice first.

However, what this young and promising junior from Beijing Film Academy said next was somewhat shocking.

"Brother, have you ever considered going to Huayi?"

Huang Xiaoming was speechless. Even though he had a high emotional intelligence, he was unable to respond to this question.

Is this a test or... a warning?
He was overthinking it, it was none of the truth.

This shows that Boss Lu is trying to make trouble for Huayi again.

Fan Bingbing, Zhang Jizhong, potential fence-sitter Zhang Guoli, plus Huang Xiaoming, and maybe even Zhou Xun after she breaks up with Rong Xingda next year.

In 2005, Chengtian poached Wang Jinhua's team.

Huayi underwent a major earthquake and began to allocate shares to important directors, partners, and core actors, changing the previous artist management model.

During this process, Feng Xiaogang, Zhang Jizhong and Huang Xiaoming were the top three stars and directors holding shares.

The bearded man has been instigated by the little god.

Fan Bingbing has surpassed Li Binbin in this life and is a strong contender for the title of number one female star. She can take the lead in internal subscription.

In later life, Zhou Xun missed out on getting rich because he didn't like venture capital. In this life, Boss Lu must ask this staunch ally to buy as much as possible and hold the stocks on his behalf.

Huang Xiaoming was also the nail that Lu Kuan was going to drive into Huayi according to this method.

Zhou Jun's fate allowed Huayi to move towards the listing process in a more positive state. The fatter this pig is, the fuller it will be when it is slaughtered later.

Among the artists, according to Lu Kuan's plan, they should try their best to get 10% of the shares. Later, Lao Zhang alone got nearly 2%.

Xinlang, who has invested in Huayi, is already within his target range.

Xinlang invested in Huayi, and Wenjie and Shanda controlled Sina, which was equivalent to obtaining Huayi's shares in disguise.

After the listing, the big and small Wangs held a total of about 45% of the shares. As long as they did not have absolute control, the rest was just taking advantage of opportunities.

Lu Kuan smiled at his senior, the boss, and said, "Brother, the mainland's film market will be huge in the future."

"We are currently seeing tens or even hundreds of billions, and the next few will be 20 to 30 billion, including the entertainment industry."

"Although Huayi and I have some minor disagreements, you don't have to think too much about it. We can still get along normally in the future."

Huang Xiaoming played a small cameo role in "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" and has been looking forward to more collaborations with the Golden Lion Award-winning director.

He was also worried whether such a possibility would still exist if he entered Huayi.

After all, things had been pretty strained between the two sides a while ago. It wasn't like Bingbing, who was completely devoted, nor was it like Da Huzi, who was completely fooled, or Zhou Xun, who later joined Huayi and was also a die-hard fan.

Boss Lu hasn't revealed too much to Huang Xiaoming, and there's no need to reveal too much.

Even if he wanted to dismember or maliciously acquire Huayi at that time, the situation would be very different.

Would Huang Xiaoming, who has a high emotional intelligence and has always been on good terms with him, make the second choice?
As for Lu Kuan pushing so many famous artists to Huayi, whether Huayi will develop better with the help of these famous artists is not within his consideration.

In the future of domestic entertainment, the proportion of artist brokerage income in entertainment company income will be too low.

In addition to stars with phenomenal popularity like Liu Yifei, Internet tools must also be used as a means of monetizing high-value-added businesses such as ringtones.

For Boss Lu, who has already initially built a complete film industry chain, this small amount of money is simply not worth his attention.

His goal was to acquire Huayi's original equity from these key individuals, and then, through the secondary market, Xinlang's partial holdings and other channels, complete a hostile takeover of the listed company Huayi!
This is a big piece of fat.

Therefore, he can neither kill Huayi with one blow nor let them live too comfortably.

Just keep it in captivity.

Huang Xiaoming left in a daze, and Boss Lu decided to let Zhang Jizhong come forward to recruit him again and drive the nail into the company completely.

At the end of December 2004, Lu Kuan, who had just finished editing "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button", rushed to North America to prepare for the public relations work before the Golden Globe Awards and the Oscars.

North America begins a series of film festivals and award ceremonies in December.

Among them, the Golden Globe Awards and the Oscars are obviously the two most important awards.

The Golden Globe Awards focus on marketing and entertainment, and are also a bellwether for the Oscars.

In the more than 60 years since its establishment, the Golden Globe Awards has gradually been developed into a movie party surrounded by gossip, dense topics, and a gathering of big-name guests.

The Oscars are a public relations game, voted on by more than 6000 international film professionals.

In comparison, the Golden Globe Awards jury, which consists of less than 100 people, is much easier to approach and deal with.

The public relations strategy and arrangements will of course be coordinated with Harvey.

According to statistics, the films that Harvey participated in producing and investing in have been nominated for 341 Oscars and won 81 Oscars.

There are many reasons why he has become an opinion leader in the Oscars and Golden Globe Awards.

Harvey comes from a wealthy Jewish family. His father runs a diamond business in Queens. He has been exposed to celebrities since he was a child, most of whom are from Hollywood.

At the same time, he attaches great importance to making friends with politicians and has long been a funder of the Democratic Party.

Before the MeToo movement came to light, he was even one of Hillary Clinton's think tanks.

The first step is to help the target film get nominated.

The Oscar judges are basically elderly white men, and the voting is based on a preference voting system.

Book lovers who are familiar with sports should understand that this is similar to how France Football judges the Ballon d'Or and how the NBA selects its MVP.

Harvey only needs to get his film to get enough second and third votes to get nominated.

This was very simple because of his connections and pervasive public relations skills.

Then there are some routine operations:
PR spends money and hires internet trolls to attack the other party's film's flaws;
Relentless brainwashing bombardment via phone calls and emails;

Hiring penmen like well-known journalists to sing praises and guide public opinion;

As well as the endless cocktail parties and the third floor.

However, the third floor here is filled with Hollywood actresses that he carefully prepared, which makes the judges linger.

A typical example is 2011, when Harvey's "The King's Speech" faced off against "The Social Network."

During the award ceremony, Harvey bribed Facebook employees to accuse the film of fabricating facts, and then arranged for someone to accuse the original novel of plagiarism.

Combined with other pervasive public relations tactics, "The King's Speech" eventually won the Oscar.

There are also many other examples, such as his "Shakespeare in Love" snatching the Oscar from "Saving Private Ryan".

At the 2013th Academy Awards in 85, Jennifer Lawrence half-jokingly said after winning the award: "Thanks to Harvey for helping me beat out the other competitors."

For this year's Oscars, Harvey hired Oscar's presidential campaign team to do public relations for his cousin, and the other competitors really had no temper at all.

However, during the early communication, Boss Lu replaced all the extreme measures with conventional solutions.

Who the hell knows whether Harvey will collapse in this life, so don’t let yourself get covered in blood.

If he really wins the award this time, it would be very bad if he were stigmatized again because of Harvey's downfall.

Since November, "Alien Land" has been replayed in some high-end theaters to increase its presence. Otherwise, what if a few months pass and the judges forget the original hit?
Boss Lu, along with Liu Yifei, Leonardo DiCaprio and others, promoted the film in North America for half a month with the assistance of Harvey and Tom Cruise, and faced the first test.

On January 1, the 16nd American Television and Film Golden Globe Awards opened at the Beverly Hills Hilton Hotel in Los Angeles.

NBC in the United States and nearly 100 TV stations around the world broadcast the event simultaneously.

Because two Chinese-language films, "The Foreigner" and "House of Flying Daggers", have been shortlisted, the movie channel will also record and broadcast them.

This is great news for Wenjie, because the Wenjie video, which has been in preparation since August, was officially launched that night.

This year's American Golden Globe Awards and Oscars will be broadcast live!

There is almost no need for publicity. The audience knows that this is a video website under Wenjie just by looking at the name, even if they don’t quite understand what a video website is.

Through the traffic diversion from Blog.com and Douban, the number of online users on the website quickly exceeded 200,000.

The architecture of Wenjie Video was also built by Mike Solomon from the United States, who can almost be said to be the top architect of video websites in the world.

It’s good to have a cheat, you can dig at a specific point and attack in a targeted manner.

At this moment, the technical team temporarily transferred from Blog.com is monitoring the website operations with ease to ensure a good start today.

The rapidly developing branch of the Internet industry is always closely related to the entertainment industry, and they serve as each other's arms.

Therefore, every move in the entertainment industry will attract the attention of both Internet companies and entertainment companies.

Sina and Chen Tianqiao are both carefully studying the UI and operational ideas of this website.

The entertainment company began to wonder with a headache what tricks Boss Lu was using.

As soon as the Chinese New Year is almost here, they start to do all these weird things, dragging the domestic entertainment industry into it. It's really a nightmare for working people!

The red carpet in front of the Hilton Hotel was bustling with people. The annual North American top entertainment party had begun, and Hollywood stars walked by one after another.

In 04 and 05, there were actually not many Hollywood stars that domestic movie fans and audiences were familiar with.

Most of them are starring actors in films that have been released in the country through co-productions or imported films.

For example, Nicolas Cage, who is passing by the camera now, his "National Treasure" was released in mainland China in 2004.

Next is Tom Hanks, who is well known to mainland audiences through the "Forrest Gump" DVD.

Brad Pitt holds Angelina Jolie's hand as he breaks up with 'Rachel'

The former two will also collaborate on "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" in 2005.

In an Internet cafe 4 kilometers away from Peking’s top middle school, No. , Zhang Ruoyun finally skipped class for the first time in two years.

In order to find a black bar with internet access, he almost kicked his calves until they cramped.

After the Blue Speed ​​incident two years ago, Beijing’s Internet cafes were overhauled, and now it’s harder than climbing to the sky to find an illegal one.

He first came into contact with acting in "The Drummer" with Boss Lu, and performed well in the counter-interception in "The Legend of Sword and Fairy". Zhang Ruoyun has connections with Lu Kuan and Liu Yifei.

Encouraged by the two, Xiao Zhang also began to study hard, determined to get into the Beijing Film Academy.

It’s just that this year is the first time for idol Lu Kuan to compete for the Golden Globe and Oscar awards. Zhang Ruoyun couldn’t contain her excitement and decided to skip class.

It was 8:9 p.m. Eastern Time in the United States, : a.m. Beijing Time, and he had only been in his second English class for ten minutes.

Isn’t it the same to take Nima’s English class, watch the live broadcast of Wenjie Video, listen to the English host, and read the Chinese subtitles?
Does your English teacher speak better English than the American devils?

Xiao Zhang convinced himself in this way, and was also prepared to convince his father Zhang Jian in the same way after being caught.

As a surfing expert, he quickly figured out the various functions of the Wenjie video app, except for the barrage function, which he still didn't understand.

What does it mean?
The video occasionally freezes, but the overall clarity and smoothness are pretty good.

In the middle of the screen, the video broadcast team focused the camera on Jolie and Pitt walking hand in hand, and cheers rang out from the audience.

But they are all scolding the scumbag Pitt.

The tenth season of "Friends" just ended in May last year, and Pete's ex-girlfriend Rachel was extremely popular.

Zhang Ruoyun is in adolescence and has no resistance to a cool and sassy girl like Julie. She typed obscenely under the video:
Flaming red lips, just give me a bite.

After typing, he operated the mouse to go full screen, but inadvertently lit up the gray "bullet screen".

In an instant, the door to a new world opened.

"Fuck, who is so unrestrained that he even wants to bite someone's mouth!"

"This guy is so disgusting, such a wretched man!"

Zhang Ruoyun was stunned on the spot, watching her embarrassing sexual impulse slogan pass by in the middle of the screen...

What the hell! Is this barrage?
He tried to type again: I was just joking, I'm still a child.

There are only 200,000 people online at present, and not many of them have thoroughly studied this function. Soon his words floated before his eyes again.

"Are you kidding me? Are you kidding my wife? Get lost!"

"You're a few hundred months old, right? A giant baby?"

Zhang Ruoyun was so amused by what she saw that she finally understood how to play barrage.

This is so interesting. Does this mean that everyone can chat online in real time?
At 9:30 in the Internet cafe, many players who booked for the night were preparing to go to the toilet with sleepy eyes, most of them were adults.

"Hey, man, watching a movie so early in the morning?"

A bald man didn't see the content on the screen clearly, and the big breasts and buttocks of the European and American actresses were a bit dazzling, which led to his misunderstanding.

As soon as they heard the embarrassing content, onlookers quickly gathered.

Zhang Ruoyun took off her headphones and explained with a mixture of laughter and tears: "It's not a movie! It's the Golden Globe Awards live broadcast, and Lu Kuan and Lao Mouzi are both there!"

The camera happened to show the crew of "House of Flying Daggers" walking by. Zhang Ziyi, wearing a purple low-cut dress, waved to the editorial team of Wenjie TV.

"Holy crap, there's live streaming? Aren't all the broadcasts recorded? What kind of website is this?"

A man with glasses next to him said: "Ask the video, I've heard that these two months have been advertising in the elevator."

"Little brother, can you give me the website?"

"Sandabuliu, ask the world TV point Kangmu, ask the world full spell."

Zhang Ruoyun announced it at the top of her voice, and when she turned around, the crew of "Foreign Land" had already appeared.

"Fuck, I'm not going to tell you anymore, Lu Kuan and Liu Yifei walked the red carpet, and Leo."

Upon hearing the name of Liu Yifei, several people who were going to the toilet immediately returned to their seats and entered the Wenjie video interface in seconds.

Niuzi and bladder, I'll have to bear with you for a while. I'm going to go see the Fairy Sister to cleanse my eyes early in the morning.

The bald man sat closer to Zhang Ruoyun and asked him sideways, "Little brother, why is this interface full of fucking words? It doesn't even look like subtitles."

Zhang Ruoyun said impatiently: "Danmu, that's Danmu, just type in the chat box below the video and press enter to find out what's going on."

Not only the bald guy, but also a group of surfers in their twenties understood the principle after just a few clicks.

"Fuck, this is interesting. It's like we're bragging about it while watching it? And we're bragging about it together with people from all over the country?"

The man with glasses: "It has to be turned on by someone else. There's a function to adjust the barrage below."

Gu Xiaobai turned on the camera at the front desk and walked to Zhang Ruoyun's row.

"Little brother, can you give me the website address?"

He is a famous grassroots film critic. This year he started his career in Beijing and began to write scripts for famous directors and film and television companies.

He later participated in Zhang Yimou's "Under the Hawthorn Tree" and Li Shaohong's "The New Dream of Red Mansions".

Gu Xiaobai went to Xiaoma Pentium for a job interview today. In the elevator, he saw an advertisement for Wenjie TV placed on Focus Media. He was so excited that he immediately went to find an Internet cafe.

Lu Kuan is his idol, or rather the idol of most grassroots film critics of their generation.

He is different from critics like Huang Shixian and Zhu Dake who like to label people, talk about the New Wave and advocate art films.

They are good at commenting from the perspective of young people and the storytelling of commercial films.

In the early days of the development of the Chinese Internet, various film forums emerged one after another.

Among them, the more famous ones are "Yingxing Tianxia" by Xinlang, "Movie Night Boat" by Peking University Youth, "Watching Movies through the Rear Window" in Xisi Hutong, etc.

Of course, now 80% of movie enthusiasts are concentrated on Douban, but these film critics with slightly higher taste and qualifications are unwilling to "go along with the crowd" with ordinary movie fans and still guard their own little piece of land.

Zhang Ruoyun is madly expressing: Boss Lu is handsome! Liu Yifei is beautiful! Little Leo is handsome and beautiful!

"Come and see for yourself, I'm busy!"

Gu Xiaobai reluctantly leaned over and was soon stunned by the barrage of comments filling the screen.

It’s obvious that these are not official subtitles. How come I want to lick Liu Yifei’s feet even came out?

Gu Xiaobai followed suit and quickly figured out the easy-to-understand video operations. He excitedly went to various movie forums.

Zhou Liming, who had previously called for people to go to the cinema again to support "Alien Land" in breaking the historical box office record, saw it;
Among the first generation of grassroots film critics in China, Wei Junzi, Li Xiaofeng, and Zhang Xiaobei, who have a good relationship with Gu Xiaobai, saw it;
In almost all domestic film forums, movie fans run into the venue.

At the same time, in Ideal Building, Mr. Lu signed and allocated the office area to Wenjie Video.

Liu Hong watched the number of online users in the background surge to nearly one million. After asking the technical team and receiving a positive response, he immediately contacted Lu Yao.

Following Lu Kuan's previous instructions, Lu Yao contacted the agents of bloggers such as Mei Yanfang, Jay Chou, Liu Yifei, Zhang Manyu, and Liu Dehua.

It's time to stream.

Top artists published blogs and used their own traffic to help promote the "Wenjie" video. After only ten minutes, the number of online users exceeded 100 million, 150 million...

Liu Hong's palms were sweaty. The reason he didn't divert a large amount of traffic right away was because he was afraid that the server wouldn't be able to withstand the pressure.

This Mike Solomon is really capable, at least for now he seems very safe.

When the crew of "Alien Land" walked past the camera, Boss Lu specially took Liu Yifei, Leonardo DiCaprio and Tom Cruise to the editing team of Wenjie Video.

"Leo, Tom, greet everyone in Chinese. This is our domestic media."

Tom Cruise smiled seductively: "Mud howl!"

Leonardo DiCaprio was even more coquettish and blew her a kiss.

The volume of barrage has skyrocketed!
"Director Lu, please stand closer so we can take some close-ups."

Boss Lu did as he was told. Liu Yifei stood in the middle, and the four of them smiled and nodded at the camera.

There is a small white flower inserted among three handsome grasses. The picture is so beautiful that the barrage of comments starts flying.

"Presence! Presence! Top-notch prestige!"

"I was wondering why Xixi wasn't excited about receiving the Golden Rooster Award. She's already made it to Hollywood, and she's not excited about the Black Rooster Award at all."

"Tom Cruise is so short! Liu Yifei is almost taller than him without high heels!"

At this moment, domestic Internet media people all have complicated expressions when watching the video of the question-and-answer session in full swing.

Chen Tianqiao didn’t know the profit model and product positioning of this video website yet, but the creativity of the barrage alone was already amazing.

Obviously, it can greatly enhance user interaction and break the limitations of time and space to generate communication.

It is still just a live broadcast now, but it can be foreseen that during the broadcast of other film and television dramas, the audience will discuss the plot and characters in real time through barrage, which will definitely create a unique viewing atmosphere.

He was glad to have such a wise man as his ally.

The later generation of barrage originated from the Japanese video website Niconico animation in 2006, and later entered two domestic imitation websites AB, from which it rose and became an important online culture.

Accountant Jia, who later became famous for his Zhou Huiguo career, certainly also paid attention to this website.

It should be said that he had already founded his own similar website - Leshi.com in December.

However, when he followed the established strategy to purchase the online broadcasting rights for high-quality TV series from national and local TV stations such as CCTV and Shanying, he was "pleasantly surprised" to find that...

It’s all fucking gone!
After asking through key people, I found out that they had all been bought out.

There are also private companies such as Dongyang Qingyu, Zhouyi, Tangren, etc.

Accountant Jia was delighted that he could share the same ideas with the entertainment industry giant, but it was really heartbreaking that these heroes saw things in the same way.

Zhang Chaoyang, the skinny fox, touched his chin and thought intently. He became interested in Lu Kuan's approach of closely integrating entertainment and the Internet.

Previously, Blog.com had nothing to do with Lukuan in name, so people did not associate the two closely together.

Now that Wenjie has directly launched its own Internet product, Charles Zhang, who once claimed to be a literary youth, is somewhat tempted.

It’s just that Lu Kuan’s main job is film director, and if he crosses over...

Maybe I could sing?
(The promise was so beautiful because we were so young, but dear, that was not love~~~)
