Huayu: When the director changed his major

Chapter 214 Zuibai Chinese is online!
"As for variety shows, my brother can do it too."

Reba was listening to Wu Mochou singing, but she didn't expect her brother to suddenly say this.

He immediately turned around in surprise and asked:
"Ah? Brother can also participate in variety shows?"

Judging from Reba's tone, she doesn't believe me.

"Where Are We Going, Mom?", "Go Fighting!", "Run, Sisters!", "I Am a Singer" and "Brothers Riding the Wind and Waves".
There are even a bunch of draft picks.

There is also the "Flowers and Youth" in which you became popular. Brother, you can do anything.

"Why don't you wait until you finish filming this drama and then create a variety show tailored just for you?"

"I don't want to be on a variety show. I'm an actor."

"cough cough"

Unexpectedly, Reba used what she had said before to block herself.

Because I have always loved watching variety shows and seeing how much she thinks about something.

Cheng Xi encouraged her by telling her to be a good actor.

"Become an actor and appear on variety shows."

I didn’t expect to be boomeranged today.

"That's different. Brother can also show his acting skills in variety shows."

"Then tell me what kind of variety show it is. I, an actor, would like to consider joining."

"For example, when it comes to acting, we can have some famous actors compete directly in scenes from classic movies and TV series, with famous directors sitting on the stage to judge. The winner can directly star in the director's film!"

"If you win, you can get a movie role, and your acting skills can also be used as a selling point for variety shows! Bro, you're amazing! I want to be on this variety show!"

"Don't worry, there are more. For example, a reality show where you and a group of celebrity sisters and brothers, without agents or assistants, only have a fixed amount of living expenses every day, and then travel to various unfamiliar places."

"Wow, this is great, I want to go, it's fun and feels real!"

"That's just the beginning. For example, the 'Voice of China' you're watching now is all about students competing. What if I asked all the mentors to join a program where the winners were determined by their singing skills, and one singer was eliminated each episode? What do you think?"

"What? A competition between mentors? Wow, brother, how did you come up with that?"

"The winner will also be awarded the title of King of Singers!"

"Wow"

At this time, Reba was already looking at Cheng Xi, her eyes full of stars.

“There are even more powerful ones.”

"What else? Tell me quickly, brother."

"I've said so much, it would be unreasonable not to give you some reward."

"What reward do you want, brother?"

"Well, that's it. My lips are dry from talking."

“Oh oh.”

So Reba used her red lips to apply lipstick on her brother.

Lubricate it, Cheng Xi continued:
"For example, let a group of celebrities participate in various extreme recreation projects, experience various challenges set by the program team, and even divide them into several teams for PK."

"We're also having a group of single celebrities as guests team up as couples and live together. Guess what kind of sparks would come out? Ideally, they'd pair up with someone who's had a disagreement."

"besides."

Having said that, Cheng Xi stopped again to whet Reba's appetite.

Reba originally liked watching various variety shows, but after hearing what her brother said, she suddenly felt that these variety shows were not interesting anymore.

What's the point of a student competition? If we want to let those who have been famous for a long time come up to compete, then the singing will be more exciting.

All kinds of quarrels are intense.

The audience will go crazy.

Seeing her brother stop, Reba also knew what it meant.

So she kissed her brother again.

As for whether there is anything else to come, Cheng Xi said he would finish kissing the little cutie first.

What could Cheng Xi do? Today was another day of being adored by the little cutie.

During the day, the crew began the intense and orderly shooting session again.

In the next few days, Jing Tian's role progressed significantly faster.

As the filming had been going on for almost a month, Cheng Xi replaced Shao.

Let graduate student senior Wen Muye come to the crew for training.

Although his later film "Dying to Survive" was very good, one has to start from scratch to accumulate experience for everything.

Six award-winning directors will take turns to train them, hoping that they can all thrive as soon as possible.

In the past few days, Cheng Xi has also made some progress in the revision of Jingjiang Literature City website and the reading app that he instructed Li Wentao to do.

Over the past month, the company's IT department has been working overtime to create trial versions of several apps.

Now when Cheng Xi is taking a break on the set, he will take out his mobile phone to check out the trial version of the app.

And also let Reba install one on her mobile phone.

"Brother, after you stopped writing novels, I rarely went to Jingjiang Literature City."

"Then you can just use it. When this app is released, my brother will release a new novel."

When Reba heard there was a new novel, she also became excited and said:
"Brother, what kind of novel is this?"

"As for the app, why don't you just send it to your book club and let your fellow readers give their opinions?"

Oh right, why didn’t I think of that.

Then he stretched out his finger and flicked Reba's head, saying:

"As expected of the studio's head princess, she has a sharp mind. As for the genre, keep it a secret!"

In fact, Cheng Xi hasn't interacted in the book club for a long time, so this time he just wanted to warm up with everyone.

Wenxue City is releasing an Android app for mobile phones. If you have time, you can download it from the link and give us your feedback after trying it out! Thank you! @Everyone.

The group suddenly became very lively.

Originally, Cheng Xi had not written a book for a long time since "The Beginning", and rarely interacted in the book club.

Most of them have switched to Weibo.

This time it not only bubbled up, but also reached several groups at once.

The news brought is also the most discussed recently:

Did Mr. Zuibai really acquire Jingjiang Literature City?

It sounds a bit fake. An author acquired the website.
But if you ask the official, no one will give you a clear answer.

Not giving a clear answer is actually also a kind of answer. If it is not the case, why not just deny it directly?

So many people speculated whether there was an acquisition or not, and the topic was very hot.

Now, when the trial version of this Android app came out, everyone saw that the name was "Zuibai Reading".

Isn’t this the biggest proof?
The group suddenly exploded with all kinds of discussion messages pouring in.

[Brother Zuibai is so awesome! He really took Jingjiang!]

[My younger brother is no longer just a younger brother; he has grown up to be a boss!]

[But if this continues, doesn't it feel like Mr. Zuibai's new book will be a long time coming? Mr. Zuibai, stop being a boss and come back to write a book for us! Crying.jpg]

I think so too. A billionaire CEO writing about a domineering CEO for us Taobao girls is so magical it's almost unreal.

[Everyone, don't just discuss this, go download the app and check it out. Don't forget the task that Zuibai brother gave us.]

[Hehe, the sisters love the tasks assigned by Zuibai brother, they are exciting! ]

Cheng Xi saw messages flooding the screen in a blink of an eye, and the conversations were becoming more and more frivolous.

I decisively exited the group chat and continued to research the new app on my phone.

A few days later, Cheng Xi also explored the trial version of the app.

So he recorded his experience of using it, and Cheng Xi combined it with the suggestions of book friends and some experiences of later generations.

Based on the simplest principle, several improvement suggestions were given to the project team product manager:

"First, the UI design must be simple and elegant. The logo also needs to be redesigned. A red base color and a traditional Chinese script will do the trick. It's clear and concise."

"Secondly, the functionality should be simple. Reading is the essence of the software, so don't design too many fancy features. There are only three areas: bookshelf, book search, and personal."

"Third, based on the simplicity of reading, we cultivate the fan economy and shape the value of IP. The amount of money spent on reading books is divided into levels 1-10; the activity level is divided into levels 1-10 based on the time spent reading books, comments and interactions."

This unified simplicity and elegance inside and out takes into account the basic needs of those who just want to read quietly.

It also takes into account active book lovers who have interactive needs.

It can be said that both are achieved.

Cheng Xi thought that although the ten-level system was a bit too few, it could be increased based on subsequent circumstances.

The new website is also named "Zuibai Chinese Network", and its UI design is also inspired by several other major websites.

After all, the people recruited are all elites from these websites, so similarities are inevitable.

The reading path is also clearer, solving a long-standing problem of Jingjiang.com.

The website problem can be described as a whole new look.

Even those who open it for the first time know exactly how to operate it and how to find the book they want to read.

Cheng Xi is very satisfied with this aspect of the website.

Regarding domain names, Zuibai Entertainment Company has already registered the entire series of Zuibai domain names.

The colliding domain names have also been taken back.

At the same time, to take care of old users, you can also jump to Zuibai Chinese website by entering the website address of Wenxue City.

So Cheng Xi was busy training Xiao Tiantian and Reba on the crew.

The company's IT department is also working overtime to optimize the website and app.

Finally at noon on August 2012, 8.

All the preparations are completed.

The company officially launched the new version of "Zuibai Chinese Website" and "Zuibai Reading" APP Android 1.0 version.

Cheng Xi also specially sent a personal letter to each book friend in the background.

And forwarded it on Weibo at the same time.

[A letter from Zuibai to all book friends:

Dear book friends, hello, I am Zuibai.

I used to be a contracted author of the bookstore, and now I have another identity.

Yes, I acquired the bookstore in full.

Today is the tenth anniversary of the establishment of the bookstore. Here I would like to thank all the book lovers for their companionship and support.

I would also like to thank the two founders, Huang Mingyan and Liu Xudong, and all the editors and staff of the bookstore for their great contributions to the bookstore.

Today, on the occasion of our tenth anniversary, we changed our name to "Zuibai Chinese Network" and launched a new UI interface and "Zuibai Reading" APP to make it more convenient for book lovers to read their favorite books.

Starting today, we will work together to move towards a new level.

In addition, the new website and APP will also launch a series of discount activities to celebrate the "Tenth Anniversary", so please pay attention to it.

Of course, my original identity was actually a contracted author.

I have never forgotten this.

It is your support that has made me who I am today.

So today I also brought you my new work "The Hidden Corner". To celebrate the tenth anniversary, this book will be serialized for free throughout.

Book lovers are welcome to read.

Thank you again for your support!

Happy 10th anniversary!
——Zuibai/August 2012, 8]

The reason why Cheng Xi chose to write "The Hidden Corner" as his new book.

One is of course for film and television adaptation.

Secondly, in order to attract everyone to follow the updates, it has to rely on themes such as murder and suspense.

It's fun to watch.

I can't stop watching it.

I had to create the "Let's go hiking together" joke in advance.

Not only that, Cheng Xi also asked the editor-in-chief Huo Qingmei to contact "Zijin Chen".

He is currently serializing his first mystery novel, "Murder of Officials," for free on Tianya.

When I heard that Mr. Zuibai personally signed a contract with me to serialize on the new "Zuibai Chinese Network".

And it was a good buyout price, so I was very happy.

After all, serializing on Tianya is done for love, but on Zuibai Chinese website you can earn as much as you write.

So Huo Qingmei simply tricked him into joining the male frequency group and signed a long-term contract, with the editor-in-chief Qinghu directly responsible for him.

This time, Zijin Chen was completely stripped of his skin.

However, it can be regarded as an acceleration of his development. I just hope that this will not change his original accumulation of talents.

Recently, Qinghu has been working overtime to recruit members for his newly established male frequency group.

Not only did they poach several senior editors from other male-oriented websites, but they also brought in a number of male-oriented authors who are accustomed to writing within a million words.

After all, Cheng Xi has not yet thought about competing directly with the male-oriented websites such as Singularity Chinese Network, but is focusing on literary sanctuaries with a length of 20 to 100 million words.

Make a differentiated competition.

Not everyone wants to write three or four million words, and many people cannot achieve that kind of update frequency and intensity.

So it has attracted many authors to join.

Zuibai Entertainment’s publicity machine also came into play at this time.

When Cheng Xi announced the new website and APP, he immediately started promoting them at full speed.

Thanks to Cheng Xi's connections in the entertainment industry, all the major celebrities involved have posted photos of themselves reading books on Zuibai Chinese website.

And downloaded the "Zuibai Reading" APP.

This immediately pushed Zuibai Chinese website to the top of the hot search list.

Zui Bai’s new work "The Hidden Corner" ranked second.

Zuibai Reading APP ranks third.

It can be said that it is not lively.

And when the book friends of Jingjiang Literature City and netizens on Weibo saw this news.

They all started discussing it.

[Oh my god, Mr. Zuibai really bought the bookstore, so awesome!]

[The bookstore website should have been optimized and an app launched long ago. Qidian has already done it, and it won't even be copied. It has to be Mr. Zuibai, whose every move is steady, accurate and ruthless.]

Yesterday, I told my friends that I wouldn't have the chance to read any more books written by Zuibai. Who knew that today, I'd find some solid stuff.

"The Hidden Corner"! It sounds like a gray-toned book, perhaps psychological?

[Is this a real billionaire writing a book for you? What else do you want from a bike? It doesn't matter what kind it is, just read it!]

[What the above person said is right. I never thought that there would be a day when I could get a free ride from a billionaire! ]

Especially the book lovers in the group really didn’t expect this. They originally thought it was basically impossible for a billionaire to write a book.

Unexpectedly, now I have not only written it.

It’s free for you to watch!
He is really a kind-hearted person!
Not only is there widespread discussion on various platforms, but many book lovers and netizens also found the book "The Hidden Corner" as soon as possible.

New book lovers have already started to register accounts on Zuibai Chinese website.

After all, everyone is more interested in Zuibai's new work.

Book title: Hidden Corner.

Cover: The backs of three children.

Introduction: Even under the sun, there are corners that cannot be illuminated.

Chapter 1: "Accidental" murder.

"Dad, Mom, let's go to the platform on the mountainside and rest for a while."

Zhang Dongsheng was carrying a mountaineering bag and a camera around his neck, patiently taking care of his parents-in-law behind him.

In everyone's eyes, he is a standard good son-in-law.

While smiling, he helped his parents-in-law who were sitting on the rocks to adjust their poses for the photo.

Suddenly, he circled the two men's feet with his hands, and with a push, he pushed them off the cliff.

Then he cried out in tears:
"Dad! Mom! Come and save them! Someone fell off the cliff!"

New and old book friends will stop here when they see it.

I got goosebumps all over my body!

This Zuibai teacher is so tough that he killed two people in the first few hundred words!
What will happen next? Will they catch him? Let's see!

Keep watching, you can’t stop!
When I saw that the second chapter suddenly disappeared.

While everyone was scratching their heads, they also quickly recommended it to their friends.

You can't let yourself suffer alone.

No, we can’t let our brothers and sisters miss out on such a good book!

So this time, after the promotion of Zuibai Entertainment and the recommendation of tap water.

The number of new user registrations on the backend of Zuibai Chinese website is constantly increasing!
(Speaking of Tianya, it is also the tears of the times.)
