Even after being reborn, you're still in the entertainment industry?

Chapter 63: Victory is achieved by holding on until financing is obtained!

"Hello everyone in front of the camera, I'm Yunxuan's good friend Jay Chou..."

Facing the DV held by Sheng Yunxuan, Jay Chou cooperated very well and filmed a greeting video.

Liu Genghong, who had an afro and was standing nearby, came over curiously and asked:

"What are you doing?"

This time in "Initial D", he plays a very arrogant and annoying villain.

Sheng Yunxuan smiled, raised the DV in his hand, and said with a smile:
"I usually like to take some videos and upload them to the Internet..."

During his free time on the set these days, he has been accompanying Jay Chou to practice driving.

Under Sheng Yunxuan's technical guidance, Zhou Jielun actually learned how to drift. The two of them became closer as they played together.

And Sheng Yunxuan didn't expect to get any special benefits from Jay Chou, so it's not too much to ask him to help shoot a daily vlog of the crew!

When Liu Genghong heard about making a homemade video, he was not very interested. Instead, he consciously stepped aside and let the two continue filming.

Speaking of which, this person probably never imagined that in the next ten years, he would not be famous either in singing or acting.

But in the end, he became popular in mainland China for a while thanks to short online videos that he wasn't very interested in at the moment...

However, Jay Chou, who was standing next to him, showed great interest when he learned that Sheng Yunxuan often posted some daily life and talent videos online. He even asked for the website address of 6degree.com to check it out.

Sheng Yunxuan naturally had no objection to this. It would be best if he could be tricked into joining Liudu.com.

With Jay Chou's fan base, the website is bound to attract a lot of new users...

Well, it seems that it still doesn’t work!
Because if Jay Chou really was fooled by me and joined 6du.com, then seeing all those fans pouring in all at once, the already fragile 6du.com server would be instantly overwhelmed!

The website has only been open for half a year, and the number of registered users has increased to 80,000 or 90,000, and the daily visits are also higher.

Among all the websites in the early days of the Internet, excluding platforms like Xinluo and Sohu, a website platform with this number of users is already a very strong presence!

At the same time, accommodating so many users is already the maximum limit that the website server and bandwidth of "6 Degrees Network" can bear!

Most of the two million I got from Li Xiaoran, who was just a gigolo, has already been burned on this...

Even in the early days of the Internet, where competition was not too fierce, the money burning was quite intense!

If he is forced to upgrade the server and bandwidth again, Sheng Yunxuan will have to use his own salary to pay for it.

Sheng Yunxuan's current fame is not very high, and his pay is also very average.

He was the second male lead in "Against the Current", the "fake male lead" in "The First Under Heaven", and this time in "Initial D", and after deducting miscellaneous expenses, his salary only left him with more than 300,000 yuan.

That’s a lot of money, enough to buy a house in Yanjing.

Unfortunately, this amount of money is still a bit barely enough to maintain a video website.

I estimate that at most we can guarantee the server and bandwidth upgrade this time, and then all the money in the account will have to be cleared!

Alas, starting a business is not easy!

Fortunately, Sheng Yunxuan had memories from his previous life and knew that the video platform still had a future.

Because we know that "victory will come eventually", we can still grit our teeth and persevere.

After all, for Sheng Yunxuan, the worst-case scenario is simply holding out until next year or the year after. By then, investors will have begun to take notice of the various video platforms emerging on the internet, fueled by the success of YouTube abroad.

Many fledgling websites immediately received numerous funding opportunities, ranging from two to three million yuan to tens of millions.

The US dollar is used as the settlement currency...

Sheng Yunxuan didn't believe it. His own Liudu.com was better than the others in terms of founding time, user scale, website professionalism and perfection.

It doesn’t make sense that those websites can get financing, but my own Liudu.com can’t?

It was also for this reason that Sheng Yunxuan did not say much to Jay Chou at this time.

They were afraid that he would deliberately call on his fans to do them a favor.

This is certainly well-intentioned, but it will definitely make the website unable to withstand the sudden surge in traffic...

And in fact, it is true, and it may even be greatly underestimated!
During his peak period, Jay Chou had a huge number of fans!
Even though Jay Chou did not come this time, Sheng Yunxuan just released a video in which Jay Chou appeared and said hello.

But just this video instantly attracted a lot of netizens.

Under Sheng Yunxuan's latest video, so many comments appeared as soon as I refreshed it. I don't know how these netizens saw it so quickly...

"Ahhhhhh, you actually know Jay Chou!"

"Chou Jielun is still filming a movie in Japan, so Sheng Yunxuan, are you also filming a movie?"

"I know this. It's an adaptation of 'Initial D', and it's going to be a very big investment..."

"No, it's also because I want you to get better and now you can go and film a movie with Jay Chou..."

"That's really impressive!"

"Sheng Yunxuan, you are my only connection in the entertainment industry!"

"Jay Chou is so handsome!"

"..."

Well, it seems that some people's comments clearly reflect the fan group's selective blindness in order to praise their idols.

Sheng Yunxuan, this genuinely handsome guy, is still in the video, and he's already started praising Jay Chou's looks...

Just after Sheng Yunxuan uploaded the video, less than two hours later, Hong Zhifeng called him urgently.

This means that the number of website users has increased again, and Hong Zhifeng has to report to Sheng Yunxuan to see if the server needs to be upgraded.

What else can Sheng Yunxuan say about this?

Keep spending money!
As long as they can endure for another year or two, whether it is sold or financed, Sheng Yunxuan will be able to "reap a lot"!
If all else fails, I'll try to find a way to borrow money from Li Xiaoran and live off her. Maybe, probably, perhaps, I can hold on...

When it comes to filming a movie, it is extremely rare that it takes one or two years to slowly polish it.

Most movies only take a month or two to shoot, which doesn’t take too long.

Hong Kong directors are also famous for their speed!
In addition, Sheng Yunxuan's role this time was not too large, so all his scenes were completed very quickly.

Sheng Yunxuan didn't stay long and returned home the next day...
