The Wind of China Entertainment 2005

Chapter 762 Worry
It’s Weibo Night again this year.

Since the Internet Festival was renamed Weibo Night, the theme of this event has become more inclined towards the entertainment industry.

With Sina Weibo becoming the dominant platform, Weibo Night has become an event that celebrities in the circle flock to.

Netizens who watched the live broadcast this year clearly felt a difference. The guest lineup participating in Weibo Night was extremely luxurious.

Not only directors such as Zhang Yimou, Chen Kaiquan, Feng Xiaogang, and Jiang Wen attended the event, but also the bosses of major film and television companies such as Guangguang, Huayi, Bonar... and Star Media gathered together.

It is well known in the industry that Sina Weibo's listing has entered the countdown.

Cao Guowei and others have put a lot of effort into the company's listing and the stock price after listing!
Almost all the well-known popular artists from both sides of the Taiwan Strait and Hong Kong, as well as the stars who became popular in 2013, came to show their support, except for those who really couldn't leave.

Tonight's hosts are Hua Shao and Li Ai.

Host Li Ai: "Please welcome the winners of [Weibo Annual Breakthrough Honor] to the stage. They are #小米3# Lei Jun, founder, chairman and CEO of Xiaomi Technology; #58同城上市# 58同城网 CEO Yao Jinbo; #来自星的你# Liu Xinyou; #现代农业# Chen Shaopeng, president of Lenovo Holdings Joyvio Group."

Host Hua Shao: "Let us invite Sina Chief Operating Officer and Co-President Ms. Du Hong and New Oriental Education and Technology Group Chairman and CEO Mr. Yu Minhong to the stage to present the honors."

"Clap clap clap!"

Below the stage, Cao Guowei looked at Lei Jun and others coming on stage and clapped with a smile.

Weibo’s development to its current state has not come easily.

At that time, in addition to Sina, NetEase, Tencent, and Sohu were also developing Weibo. Tencent, which had successfully risen to prominence with the help of QQ, was undoubtedly the biggest enemy.

In 2010, Tencent joined the battlefield and launched the beta version of Weibo, officially declaring war on Sina. Relying on the traffic advantage of QQ, the number of users reached 1 million in less than a year.

He was trembling in his heart at the time. Tencent relied on QQ to divert traffic. This was too shameless and unreasonable.

Fortunately, Tencent is a greedy company. Like an octopus, it wants to do everything. However, it is distracted by too many projects and cannot give its full effort to anything.

This cannot be said completely, there are always exceptions.

With this thought in mind, Cao Guowei looked at Lei Jun on the stage.

Two years ago, Lei Jun was cunning enough to create MiTalk, and almost dug up Tencent's roots, but ultimately lost to WeChat due to deficiencies in team experience, resources and other aspects.

Cao Guowei withdrew his thoughts. In contrast, he felt quite pleased with himself.

In 09, he and a group of management acquired 1.8 million common shares of Sina for US$560 million, becoming the largest shareholder.

The problems that plagued Sina, such as dispersed equity and disconnection between management and the board of directors, have been resolved. Sina, this old ship, has been given a new coat of paint and is setting sail again.

It is no exaggeration to praise him as the leader of Sina's revival.

More importantly, in the same fight with Tencent, after a few years, Sina has won. Now Tencent Weibo just needs to find a suitable time to announce its dissolution.

From now on, there will be only one Weibo in China.

That is Sina Weibo!

Cao Guowei was sitting with his legs crossed, imagining the bright future of Weibo, when suddenly the cell phone in his pocket began buzzing.

He took it out and saw that it was a call from his secretary.

"Hey?"

"Chairman, Lu Yuan and Liu Shishi got their marriage certificate!"

"What the hell, getting a marriage certificate?" Cao Guowei was stunned for a moment, thinking he was hallucinating. He straightened his back and asked, "Who got the marriage certificate? Tell me again?"

"Lu Yuan and Liu Shishi."

Cao Guowei was caught off guard: "Aren't they filming on the set? How come they suddenly got the marriage certificate?"

To this Weibo Night, he naturally invited Lu Yuan and Liu Shishi.

If Lu Yuan came to participate, this year's Weibo King would definitely be awarded to him. After all, the popularity of "My Love from the Star" and its popularity are rare in recent years.

But Lu Yuan replied that he was filming on the set and couldn't leave, and said that he would send someone from the company to participate.

Considering the other party's hidden identity, Cao Guowei could only give up with regret.

But he never expected that the other party would suddenly return to Beijing and get married with his girlfriend.

Thinking of the possible consequences of this incident, Cao Guowei asked anxiously: "Have they announced it on Weibo? Is Weibo down again? Wait a minute, give me some time to prepare myself mentally."

Cao Guowei was really scared.

Two years ago, on May 520th, the two of them suddenly made an official announcement, which caused the Weibo server to crash. The incident is still vivid in his mind. The company is about to go public, and he doesn't want it to happen again.

Otherwise, everyone will question whether a media platform that is prone to crashes is worth buying.

The secretary on the other side chuckled, "No, that's not the case. It's just that a photo of them coming out of the Civil Affairs Bureau was taken by netizens. It has now become the number one trending search on Weibo, and related topics are emerging one after another. Netizens are very excited."

"So can you confirm that they really got the marriage certificate and it wasn't just a false rumor?"

"Well, I specifically asked about it, and it's true."

"Did Lu Yuan and Liu Shishi give a positive response?"

"Not yet. After they came out of the Civil Affairs Bureau, they went straight back to Ziyu Villa and haven't come out since. It is said that Ziyu Villa has been put under martial law, with hundreds of security guards patrolling. Many people have also gone to the community where he lives."

"I see. It's better that you didn't give me a direct reply. You just scared me."

Cao Guowei breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't want Lu Yuan and Liu Shishi to announce the news now.

Given the current popularity and attention paid to the two, it is possible that Weibo will really collapse. Not only will the artists who have received the title of King and Queen on Weibo be embarrassed, but Weibo will also be ridiculed by netizens.

He pondered for a moment, then stood up and left the guest seats amid the puzzled gazes of the guests and many netizens who were watching the live broadcast.

When he came to the backstage, Cao Guowei had already sorted out his thoughts. He found Lu Yuan's cell phone number and dialed it. He had to find Lu Yuan to confirm some things.

The call was connected quickly, and it was Lu Yuan himself.

"Hey, Mr. Cao, how come you still have time to call me when you're so busy?"

Cao Guowei laughed and said, "Brother Lu, you said you were back in Beijing but you didn't come to attend Weibo Night. But I still want to congratulate you. I saw the photo of you two coming out of the Civil Affairs Bureau. When will you hold your wedding? I can go and ask for a glass of wedding wine."

Lu Yuan's voice on the other side suddenly became quieter. Cao Guowei vaguely heard a few firecrackers, and it took a while for Lu Yuan to answer.

"Ah, haha, what are you talking about, Brother Cao? What do you mean by wedding wine? I was worried that you wouldn't show up. I have to apologize. It was my inconsiderateness. I had no plan to return to Beijing today. But getting a marriage certificate is an impulsive act. Since we've brought this up, I don't want to spoil her fun."

"I understand, I understand." Cao Guowei gave him a way out.

"Brother, I'm also an experienced person. If I hesitate in this kind of thing, she will nag me for the rest of her life. We are all men, I can understand, but I have a request. When you officially announce it, can you notify me in advance so that I can let the company's technical team prepare. As you know, the company is about to go public, and another server crash will not look good."

"No problem, don't worry."

Shunyi, Manor.

In the open space in front of the villa, Qiqi held up a lighter and said, "Uncle, are you done?" "Yes, yes, why are you rushing me?" Lu Yuan ended the call with Cao Guowei and picked up the bumpy aluminum dog plate in his hand.

Photos of him and Liu Shishi appearing at the Civil Affairs Bureau, as well as news of them allegedly getting their marriage certificate, spread on the Internet.

Netizens were heatedly discussing the authenticity of the matter, while the two of them hid in a manor in Shunyi.

Before getting the certificate, Lu Yuan took into account the possibility of paparazzi taking secret photos, and just in case, he had already planned the route out of the Civil Affairs Bureau.

It's not that he wanted to hide deliberately, he just didn't want to be surrounded by reporters, which was too troublesome.

At the same time, we also took into consideration the Weibo Night and gave Cao Guowei some face.

After getting the license, the driver found an opportunity to temporarily get rid of the reporters and paparazzi, and then the two changed cars.

The driver continued to drive his car to Ziyu Villa, and the two of them got in the car responsible for picking them up and arrived at the manor.

Not long after they arrived at the manor, they saw the news on Weibo, and Lu Jia led the two little ancestors to the manor.

Perhaps worried that they would go hungry if they didn't prepare in advance, Lu Jia brought a lot of food and planned to spend the night here.

As soon as they got off the car, Qiqi couldn't wait to pull him to set off firecrackers.

With less than two weeks to go before the Spring Festival, Zhou Mingyuan bought some firecrackers for his son.

Only the area near the residential area is under jurisdiction and is not allowed at the current time. The manor is located in the suburbs of Beijing and is not within the prohibited area.

When Kiki learned that she was coming here, she brought her baby with her.

"Hereby~"

Qiqi carefully lit the fire, then covered her ears and ran away quickly. Seeing this, Lu Yuan covered the dog plate.

"boom!"

In less than ten seconds, there was a loud bang, and the dog flew up into the sky.

The golden retriever circled around the two people anxiously, barking every time the dog bowl was blown away.

Seeing that the two of them were ignoring it, it drooped its ears, slowed down the frequency of wagging its tail, and ran towards where Liu Shishi and Lu Jia were.

Liu Shishi is chatting with Lu Jia at this moment.

"very nice."

Lu Jia flipped through the marriage certificate in her hand and felt sincerely happy for the two of them.

Yaoyao also held a marriage certificate in her hand. She squeezed into Liu Shishi's arms, groaned, and asked, "Mom, what's the use of the marriage certificate?"

"With this, my uncle and aunt will be a legal couple. They can form a new family and have a baby together." Lu Jia replied.

Yaoyao nodded and blinked her eyes: "Uncle finally brought the cabbage home."

"Pfft." Liu Shishi laughed and pinched her niece's chubby face.

Lu Jia also smiled and turned to ask, "I was wondering why you two suddenly came back to Beijing. Xiaoyuan came back and didn't stay for two minutes before going downstairs again. It seems that you got the certificate. What do you think?"

"I don't know. I had my fortune told while visiting tourist attractions in Macau. I wasn't satisfied with the result. He probably saw that I was unhappy, so he suggested we get married. I was dragged back to Beijing to the Civil Affairs Bureau by him without knowing what was going on."

As Liu Shishi spoke, she looked at Lu Yuan who was setting off firecrackers. She noticed the golden retriever running towards her with its ears drooping. She touched the dog's head in confusion.

"what happened?"

The golden retriever licked her palm with a humming sound, and raised his head, motioning her to look in the direction he pointed.

Liu Shishi looked over and saw her dear Mr. Lu raising his eyebrows at her and wrinkled his nose in a coquettish manner.

The golden retriever completely gave up and stopped wagging its tail. It suddenly made eye contact with its little master Yaoyao and ran away with its tail between its legs. This guy was even more untouchable.

Lu Jia returned the marriage certificate to Liu Shishi and asked, "Tell me how you felt when you saw the certificate."

"Hehe, hehe." Liu Shishi didn't answer, just smiled foolishly.

Lu Jia seemed to see herself back then, and laughed along: "It's good to get it. After eight years of love, I can now be considered a licensed worker."

"Have another wedding, and then have some babies. Well, I'll make reservations first. I want a fat nephew and a niece. The nephew should look like Xiaoyuan, and it's better if the boy is a little naughty. The niece should look like you, and she should be pretty. The boy should be the eldest, so he can take care of his younger sisters. You two are too busy, so I can help. When Yaoyao and Qiqi are older, let them take them out to play."

She kept talking about something else, and Liu Shishi felt embarrassed: "Hey, sister, what are you talking about?"

"You've already got the certificate, isn't it a matter of time? Or do you not want to give birth to Xiaoyuan?"

"I didn't." Liu Shishi denied it immediately.

"That's it. I got a call from my mom on the way here. She suspected that you two got married only after killing someone. By the way, Shishi, do your parents know about it?"

"I don't know. I stole the household registration booklet from home."

Liu Shishi hesitated when she said this. Did her parents really not know? The news had spread all over the Internet. Even if the two hadn't announced it yet, they should at least call her and ask, right?
When Lu Jia heard that her household registration booklet was stolen, she was speechless for a moment. She thought that she was probably too old and there was a generation gap between her and the two men.

January 1, Shanghai World Expo Park.

The 2010 World Expo was held in Shanghai. Starting from 2007, Shanghai spent three years to build the Expo Park with an area of ​​5.28 square kilometers.

The first annual ceremony of PPS was held here.

In fact, there are many places in Shanghai that are suitable for holding grand ceremonies, and they are all quite impressive, such as the 1933 Conference Center, the International Banquet Center, and the Lujiazui International Convention Center.
But the conference room in the Expo Park is the largest.

Among them, the Red Hall can accommodate 2600 people, the Silver Hall can accommodate 6300 people, the Blue Hall can accommodate 800 people, and the Gold Hall can accommodate 4500 people.
PPS rented a silver hall.

Early in the morning, before the ceremony officially began, reporters from all over the country were waiting on both sides of the red carpet.

In addition to hundreds of reporters, there were also thousands of fans, chattering and making the event very lively.

"Oh my god, I thought the news online was fake at first, but I didn't expect EXO to really come to the stage to sing."

"What's so good about EXO? They are neither male nor female, not as good as Girls' Generation. PPS is really amazing. They can invite the two most popular groups in Korea."

"Are these two Korean groups really that great? Are EXO and Girls' Generation that great? Let me tell you, they are not worth even a hair from Stephen Chow. When Stephen Chow walks on the red carpet, you will know what the King of Comedy is."

"Stop arguing. Although I also like EXO's songs, I want to know more about whether the news that Lu Yuan and Liu Shishi got their marriage certificate a few days ago is true or false."

"Me too. I came all the way from Chengdu just to see this couple."

"And me, I'm from Hainan..."

The reporters in the front row listened silently to the fans’ discussion and muttered to themselves, “Us too.”

After Lu Yuan and Liu Shishi came out of the Civil Affairs Bureau, they have not been seen since. The editor-in-chief gave a strict order, but no one was seen at Ziyu Villa at all, which made them very anxious.

This time the couple is attending the PPS ceremony together, so they must seize the opportunity.
