Huayu: When the director changed his major

Chapter 328 The First Person to Eat Crabs
After the unconventional battle with Binbin, the two returned to the hotel to resume their conventional battle.

The next day, when Cheng Xi woke up from Binbin's body, he looked at the poetry and runes painted on her beautiful back.

I almost added some buffs to myself.

Thinking of the madness of last night, Cheng Xi felt relaxed both physically and mentally.

So he pinched Binbin's nose in a funny way and said with a smile:

"Get up, lazybones, and wash the runes on your back first."

"No, sleep a little longer."

"Why are you still sleeping? It's almost noon!"

"You have a flight to catch this afternoon!"

After saying that, without waiting for Fan Binbin to object, he directly lifted her quilt.

This made her naked, and she picked up a pillow and started chasing and playing with Cheng Xi.

After the two of them had some fun, they played in the water in the bathroom.

It was noon when the two finally washed and got dressed.

Getting ready to start another busy day.

"Child guide, what should I do if I like you a little bit?"

"Then you're in trouble. You have to queue up."

"Tsk, I have to queue? You're just thinking about it. I'm just teasing you. How could I be controlled by a boy who is 10 years younger than me?"

Cheng Xi spread his hands when he heard that.

I don’t know who was beaten to a pulp by me last night.

After a simple lunch, Cheng Xi drove Fan Binbin to the airport.

She had to rush back to the crew in the afternoon.

"The Legend of the Gods" is about to start filming.

"You don't even take your luggage?"

"The assistant has already brought it over."

"Well, I wish you a safe journey and a smooth filming."

"Why don't you wish my movie a big hit?"

"You know that's impossible."

"Cheng Xi, you'll die if you say anything to comfort me. This has made me lose my passion for filming."

"Okay, I hope your box office can exceed 100 million."

When Fan Binbin heard this, he rolled his eyes at Cheng Xi.

"Okay, I know you can't say anything nice, so if you have time, remember to come visit me at work."

"Okay, I'll go when I have time."

After saying that, Fan Binbin waved to Cheng Xi.

Then she put on sunglasses, tossed her hair, tapped her high heels casually, and walked into the depths of the airport without looking back.

Not to mention, Sister Binbin, who looks unrecognizable when she puts on pants, is still quite charming.

After Cheng Xi personally sent Fan Binbin to the airport, he turned around and drove straight to the 6th floor of the Cube Building.

At present, because Zuibai Video and Zuibai Games have been established, a lot of new people have been recruited.

So the 7th floor is already a bit crowded.

The plan for Zuibai Building cannot be completed overnight.

So Cheng Xi rented the empty half of the 6th floor of the Cube Building.

As office space for both.

Cheng Xi came to the 6th floor to continue planning the official launch of Zuibai Video.

When Zuibai Entertainment and Renren agreed to acquire the 56 video website, Cheng Xi had already arranged for the official release of the new video on January 1st.

It would be better to say that it is the New Year’s Eve party on the night of December 1 rather than January 1. Zuibai Video will officially debut with a new look.

At that time, you can directly enter the previous 56 video URL or the new URL to jump to Zuibai Video.

Of course, the regret is that we can’t broadcast it live because we can’t arrange it in time.

So we can only record and broadcast each program one by one.

As long as the content of the work is solid, Cheng Xi believes that the audience will definitely accept it.

Cheng Xi planned to make the New Year's Eve party, which was released quite late, a classic, and used his connections to invite many old friends to help.

The total length is about 100 minutes, which is exciting enough.

It does not require the same foot binding.

When Cheng Xi decided to hold the New Year's Eve party directly online, some people inside Zuibai Video were still worried.

Currently, only TV stations organize New Year’s Eve galas, and they are all relatively powerful TV stations competing.

No one dares to organize their own New Year's Eve party via online video yet.

Because the audience, especially those over 40 years old, are accustomed to watching evening party programs on TV.

I haven’t formed the habit of turning on the computer to watch the evening party.

Now, the older video websites such as Youku, Penguin Video, and Sohu Video have not done anything, and they only broadcast the New Year’s Eve parties of various TV stations.

Bilibili will not start organizing its own New Year’s Eve party until 2019.

So Cheng Xi’s step can be said to be quite big.

But Zeng Xiongjie strongly supported Cheng Xi's decision.

"Boss, I think this is a great idea. If you do it, you should do it with full force."

"Currently, only TV stations are doing it, so who says online video sites can't do it?"

"Online videos will definitely dominate the world in the future, and we are the first to try it!"

Seeing that Zeng Xiongjie was even more passionate than himself, Cheng Xi secretly sighed that he had not chosen the wrong person.

I was able to do so because I had foresight, while Zeng Xiong relied entirely on his own judgment.

Cheng Xi: "I know everyone is worried about the ratings, so you may have to work hard from now on."

"First, our advertising should not only be promoted online, but also offline, to reach all age groups."

"Secondly, the show must be spectacular. By pooling our resources and leveraging our connections, we can absolutely guarantee funding that's on par with the best TV stations."

"We can have fewer viewers on the day, but as long as our New Year's Eve show is exciting and can be broadcast repeatedly, it will still go viral later."

"Third, we need to ensure the stage effect. We don't have our own professional stage yet, so I will contact them for this."

"Finally, we must build consensus and not let ourselves get complacent or afraid of difficulties. We must make our first move a success and get off to a good start."

"Do you have confidence?"

Everyone: “Yes!”

After the mobilization meeting, everyone had reached a consensus on organizing this evening party successfully.

Work is also progressing.

As of today, the recording of the evening party program is already more than half completed.

"Is it a post station or a branch?
Is the soy milk you grind sweet or salty?

How long does it take to get to Chinatown?

Go upstairs and listen to another piece of Di Renjie.

Who is it that fills the glass with old wine and offers a firm toast?

The embroidered pillow will accompany me through the night."

Yanjing Television.

Zhou Jie Lun was singing the song "Chinatown" with deep emotion on the stage rented by Zuibai Entertainment.

Cheng Xi and the staff were busy recording downstairs.

For the singing program, of course we have to invite our old friend Jie Lun to help with the Chinese style.

How could Cheng Xi let go of the top star in the Chinese-speaking world?

After Jie Lun finished singing "Chinatown", Cheng Xi immediately came to the stage and praised him:
"Jie Lun, wow, this song is really good."

"That's right. Do you want to sing a more powerful song?" Cheng Xi was stunned. It would be better if he could sing two songs. Cheng Xi was more than happy to do so.

At this time, Nazha, Jieren's old friend, was standing next to him, also looking like a little fangirl.

After all, Nazha is most familiar with Jie Lun and Zui Bai Xi, so she brought her over to meet them.

"Brother Jielun, are you going to sing a song from your new album?"

In December this year, Zhou Jie Lun finally released a new album, which was still sold in the form of a digital album.

The album is named after his catchphrase, "Oh, Not Bad."

There are still 12 songs in it, but Cheng Xi has been busy recently and only listened to a few of them.

"What Kind of Man Is He?", "What's Wrong?", "A Passerby in the World" and so on.
I also helped promote it on Weibo.

"Sure, I think there's a song that's perfect for this, it's 'Mermaid' from the new album!"

"Wow!"

Nazha, who created the atmosphere, immediately started screaming.

Gives enough emotional value.

"'The Mermaid' is great, Jie Lun, tell me the truth, was it inspired by my movie, or is it just trying to grab the attention?"

Cheng Xi winked at Jie Lun and said jokingly.

Of course he understood Jieren's good intentions, which was to warm up for his new movie "The Mermaid".

Although it is not explicitly stated that the two are related, fans and audiences will definitely make the connection.

So we happily decided on "The Mermaid" as the second song.

"Mermaid's tears,
It is a world where even sadness is transparent.

There is a full moon in the distance on the horizon.
It feels like a fairytale."

The two songs were recorded in half a morning. After inviting Jie Lun to dinner, Cheng Xi started to get busy with the next recording work.

And Jieren also has his own things to do.

"I won't stay. I'm very busy. A TV station has also invited me."

"Also, don't forget, I'm getting married in January, so come then. Nazha, you too, I seriously invite you!"

"No problem, I will definitely be at your wedding with Quinlivan!"

"Hey, how do you know it's Kun Ling?"

Cheng Xi was stunned. Of course I know. You and Kun Ling had a fairy-tale wedding, and the bouquet was even thrown.

I don’t know how much news coverage it got at the time, and how many female fans’ hearts it hurt.

But it seems that Jie Lun really didn't tell me about Kun Ling, so he suddenly had an idea and said:
"Of course I know. I always follow your gossip!"

"Oh, that's great, you're still following me! That's it!"

"Okay, see you in January then."

"Brother Jielun, see you in January!"

After saying goodbye to Jie Lun, Cheng Xi returned to the TV station to watch the recording work.

At this time, Zeng Xiongjie also came over to report:

"Boss, three skits, one for Mahua's team and one for Qiao Shan and Jia Ling, all have been recorded."

"But there's still one person, Uncle Benshan, who we haven't invited yet. He said he's not available."

In addition to inviting Jay Chou to sing the song, Cheng Xi also invited Eason Chan to sing "The Lone Brave Man".

TFgirls sang "Youth Training Manual" and "Magic Castle".

There is also Cheng Xi’s latest creation for the Honor of Kings theme song - "The Unparalleled King", and Cheng Xi once again used his old friend Deng Ziqi.

She was also the original singer before, so it can be considered as fate.

As for the dance, Jin Chen, Li Yitong and Reba reunited to recreate "Fortune Telling".

We also invited Da Ran’s best friend, teacher Jin Miaomiao, to choreograph a dance.

Teacher Jin Miaomiao is a frequent guest rehearsing dances for large-scale evening parties, so it is a waste of talent for her to come to a video website to organize an evening party.

Since they hadn't seen each other for a long time, Cheng Xi simply hired her as the stage consultant for this project.

And Da Ran also came to join in the fun.

Nazha was entrusted with an important task, as the representative of the King of Glory coser, to perform a cosplay show.

Cheng Xi also specially called over Meng Ziyi's roommates and asked them to show up as well.

Increasing the audience's favorability is a way of repaying them for feeding me with their love recently.

Everyone’s desk in my dormitory is now piled with snacks and small gifts that they bought.

Cheng Xi believes that through this kind of publicity, more people will know about "Honor of Kings".

Especially the older guys who like cosplayers and the younger ladies who love beauty.

Besides, Cheng Xi himself likes cosplay.

Otherwise, Nazha wouldn't be wearing a different cosplay every night when she's with me.

This time she was able to make use of her strengths.

Other artists from the Zuibai group will more or less make an appearance on the show.

Contribute some talent.

In addition, we invited a professional team to record several programs, so the total length was 100 minutes.

It can be said that Zuibai Video’s New Year’s Eve Gala can be regarded as a collection display of Cheng Xi’s previous works.

"As for Uncle Benshan, I'll call Dapeng and Xiao Shenyang to see if we can get him. If that doesn't work out, I'll write a script for Mahua and the others to perform."

Uncle Benshan is indeed not performing on the Spring Festival Gala anymore. He is indeed old, so it is relatively stressful for him to perform.

Apart from occasionally appearing on the TV evening parties in his hometown because he can't save face, he is basically busy on his own rural stage.

If he doesn't come, let Shen Teng perform "Going Through the Motions" again.

This can be regarded as a classic of their later Spring Festival Gala, and is temporarily borrowed to support Zuibai Video.

At worst, we can just ask them to rehearse and get the work done quickly.

Fortunately, this New Year’s Eve party is not live broadcast. If it is recorded, there will be unlimited room for error.

There should be no problem.

When people in the industry learned that Cheng Xi was going to hold a New Year’s Eve party directly on the newly launched Zuibai Video.

They are all extremely pessimistic.

Especially on major TV stations, Zuibai Video was not considered a competitor at all.

Mango station.

New Year’s Eve Gala rehearsal scene.

"I heard Cheng Xi is organizing some kind of New Year's Eve party right now?"

"Yeah, they're a new online video website with no background at all. Who would watch it?"

"Yeah, I guess a lot of people haven't even heard of 56 Video Network, right?"

“But they’ve done a lot of publicity!”

"The program list is out. Although most of the artists are from the Zuibai group, there are also big names like Jie Lun performing. I think it will still attract some young fans to watch it."

"He probably doesn't understand how television operates and thinks that just having some celebrities show up will attract viewers."

"Ignore them. Let's focus on our own program. The competition for the New Year's Eve Gala is fierce every year. It would be terrible if we were worried about not meeting the ratings and getting scolded by the leaders."

"Yes, everyone should hurry up and polish up your programs, so they don't fall apart later!"

Blue Terrace.

"If Zuibai were to start a video website, I think it would be as unsuccessful as Sohu Video, not to mention its ambitious plan to hold a New Year's Eve party."

"Yeah, even Sohu couldn't make it work, but Cheng Xi is so confident that he even organized a New Year's Eve party right from the start, trying to steal our audience."

"We originally wanted to invite some artists from the "Drunken White" genre to perform, but they insisted they were busy. They didn't want the money and wanted to make money-losing products. I really don't understand."

"After all, they are young, so it's normal for them to be arrogant."

"But to be honest, Director Cheng's films are still good. I'm a fan of his, but I think he made a mistake in judging the evening party."

"Forget about them. Keep a close eye on our rivals, Mango TV and Lychee TV. Don't let yourself get out of the top three!"
