Extracting skills from movies

Du Sheng observed the reactions of the few people and said:
"We are launching a streaming site called 'Connected Video'.

This is a project that is in line with the development trend of the new media field and is also very consistent with the investment direction of your DFJ Ventures.

Streaming sites are like the online TV stations of the future.

Especially when current domestic policies restrict private capital from entering the traditional television industry, its importance is self-evident.

Although this industry requires a lot of investment in the early stages, especially bandwidth costs and copyright procurement fees,

But I value its long-term potential and development prospects more..."

What Du Sheng said was actually the prototype of online video!

Many people should be aware of how promising this industry is.

Moreover, it is closely related to the entertainment industry and can complement each other!

Of course, Du Sheng also knows that video websites are big money-burners.

Like iQiyi, Tencent Video and Youku later, they all experienced consecutive years of losses in their early days.

Although there may be some shady deals involved, in the long run, building a powerful and influential streaming platform is crucial to Star Media's strategic layout.

Therefore, choosing video websites as the focus of capital operation is undoubtedly a wise choice.

Du Sheng plans to take Lianzhong Video public on the Lighthouse Stock Exchange and use the money from local investors to produce Chinese-language films and TV series.

Then they transfer the money from one hand to the other, causing the website to suffer losses year after year, so that the investors in the Lighthouse Country can feel the oriental care.

Therefore, it is particularly appropriate to cooperate in investment with Dehua Fund, which has the background of Lighthouse Capital.

He went on to elaborate:

“The concept of Lianzhong Video is an extension of Renren’s concept, but it focuses more on interactive video sharing.

As network services continue to improve, users' needs for interactive methods will only grow.

In the future, streaming media sharing will become the mainstream, and the Lianzhong platform will come into being.

TV series, movies, variety shows, animation, documentaries and other types are all available, with ultra-high definition and no download required. Users can also watch them seamlessly through mobile phones, tablets, TVs and other devices...

Users can upload and share their own videos, making it a pan-social entertainment platform.”

Du Sheng was not worried that his ideas would be stolen by Zhang Fan and others.

After all, these people are mainly engaged in venture capital and are not directly involved in entrepreneurial activities.

Moreover, the preparation work for Lianzhong Video started as early as the beginning of the year.

It was the time when the Samsung Princess came to visit the crew. She was very keen on online sharing and wanted to use Samsung’s resources to build a large-scale interactive film and television platform.

The first thing that comes to mind is the concept of streaming media.

After discussing with each other, we came up with a plan.

While streaming sites do have certain technical requirements, it’s not a difficult technical threshold to cross.

Therefore, the development progress is relatively fast.

However, server setup and bandwidth costs remain considerable challenges.

Ourgame Video is scheduled to go online on August 8.

At that time, Du Sheng and his team will personally carry out publicity and promotion, combining traffic import from platforms such as YY and Renren.

Ourgame Video is expected to quickly grow into the largest online streaming platform in China!
Note: The current domestic market in this field is almost a blue ocean, even Youku has not yet appeared.

This is one step ahead, every step ahead!
The last time Li Yixin came to visit the set, Du Sheng suggested that she join forces with Amanda and supported them in establishing an overseas version of the video website TVING.

He not only provided the creative idea + domain name, but also gave financial support and signed a share holding agreement with Amanda and Li Yixin.

On the surface, the shares were equally divided among the three parties, but in fact Du Sheng held a 40% stake, which was the majority.

Li Yixin had already gone to the Lighthouse Country and, with the help of her connections at Samsung and Hearst, she quickly completed the leasing of office space and the recruitment of staff.

Of course, despite having a strong background and plenty of money, everything still needs to be explored, and the start will definitely be slow.

If everything goes well, TVING will most likely be launched at the end of the year.

Hearing this, Zhang Fan was very excited and immediately said:

"Mr. Du, we are willing to invest in the Lianzhong Video project. We will give a professional assessment of the specific valuation as soon as possible."

But Du Sheng shook his head and said:
“Lianzhong Video’s first round of financing will be in December, which is a period of time after it goes online.

But since you have come to me for negotiation many times, I don’t want to lose the business relationship.

Let me put it this way, among all the financing parties, I will give priority to Dehua Fund. "

At present, Lianzhong Video has just been established and its valuation is still low, so Du Sheng will naturally not be in a hurry to raise funds.

He plans to wait until the end of the year and seek a higher valuation when the platform develops.

Du Sheng can fully afford this extra bandwidth cost.

Zhang Fan finally realized Du Sheng's business methods and admired him.

Although the deal was not reached immediately, he was very happy.

Du Sheng's confidence in the streaming website and his commitment to priority investment made Zhang Fan feel that the meeting was fruitful.

Not only that, Du Sheng also revealed another project of his in the Lighthouse Country.

Shares of Diaspora.

A website similar to a blog.

Hearing the name, Zeng Jiayan immediately sat up straight.

Zhang Fan and Shen Nanpeng also exchanged surprised looks.

Diaspora is one of the most popular social networking sites in the country.

The purpose of the establishment is to fight Facebook together.

Aims to be open source, decentralized, and respect user privacy.

Diaspora has attracted a lot of media attention due to concerns raised by Facebook's recent violation of user privacy.

It currently has more than 2000 million registered users, and daily visits remain stable at over million.

It is not only a star enterprise in the Internet industry, but also a target pursued by venture capital institutions.

Zeng Jiayan immediately showed great interest:
“The group does intend to acquire Diaspora to expand its internet business and increase its membership base.

If Mr. Du is interested in selling, please give it to me. I will definitely get you a satisfactory price!"

For Zeng Jiayan, facilitating the transaction in which the venture capital parent company behind him acquired Diaspora shares from Du Sheng was not only a dazzling achievement, but also brought him generous commissions.

Therefore, his attitude is very positive.

Du Sheng said calmly:

"Then I'll leave it to you, Mr. Zeng. We'll discuss it in detail after the valuation comes out."

It was Niki who persuaded him to invest in this website, which was founded by a group of New York college students.

But he is not optimistic about its prospects.

Firstly, Facebook is too powerful, and other similar websites will be eliminated if they cannot keep up with the innovation.

Secondly, due to its decentralized nature, the platform operation and management are relatively scattered, and there is a lack of a unified content review and management mechanism, which makes it easy for problems such as false information and bad content to occur.

Taking advantage of the good valuation now, if Zeng Jiayan can negotiate this price, of course he will sell it.

Once the cash is realized successfully, he will have over 100 million US dollars in liquid funds in the Beacon Country.

In the future, whether it is investing or filming "Wanted", there will be greater security and flexibility.

As the business was concluded, the banquet was also prepared.

We had a great time drinking and the atmosphere was very lively.

When everyone was tipsy, Liu Tingying said without losing any time:

"Mr. Du, the Tianya Charity Night is scheduled to be held in two weeks. If you have time, why not come and join in the fun.

Last time, because your subordinates didn't know the rules, there were some minor problems, and we hope to compensate you."

Du Sheng is now one of the top stars in the country. The four little beauties have to step aside. She is trying her best to invite her.

The little problem she mentioned happened two years ago.

At that time, Du Sheng and Fan Bingbing participated in it once, and had friction with Zhang Ziyi due to the dressing room issue.

Later, in order to "repay" Zhang Ziyi, he suggested that Zhang Baizhi take over the role of the female lead in "House of Flying Daggers", resulting in the two parties never having worked together again.

In fact, when it comes to Du Sheng’s status, even if there were no past events, he would not be very interested in this kind of activities.

Not to mention, these activities are becoming more and more biased, forming interest groups in the name of charity.

"At that time, I should have joined the crew of "Baby Project". Both Yinghuang Entertainment and Cheng Long invested in this movie. I guess I couldn't spare the time."

Although Liu Tingying was politely rejected, she still smiled and pretended to be regretful:

"That's really unfortunate. I look forward to our next cooperation."

At this point, she looked at the quiet Liu Shishi and took the initiative to mention:
"I think Ms. Liu has a very good image. Tianya Magazine wants to invite her to shoot the cover. I wonder if President Du agrees?"

Girls' Generation is very popular in China, but if we break it down individually, except for Liu Yifei who is definitely a top-tier star, the other girls are slightly behind.

Tianya Magazine is a top fashion magazine in China, so such an opportunity undoubtedly gives Du Sheng enough face.

Before Du Sheng could answer, Zeng Jiayan smiled and continued:

"I also think Miss Liu is very pretty and has a good temperament. Our TV, media, and magazine companies under Star Media also hope to invite her..."

Those who can become business elites are all smart people.

Seeing Du Sheng bringing Liu Shishi to the dinner and specifically introducing her identity, they obviously realized the deep meaning of it.

This is not to take the initiative to invite Liu Shishi to endorse, but to show goodwill in another way. Zhang Fan, Zeng Jiayan and Shen Nanpeng have a lot of media and fashion resources behind them, and they are the people that many stars dream of making friends with.

Even a broker like Liu Tingying is someone that many celebrities want to meet.

Du Sheng naturally would not refuse such kindness, and said with a smile:
"Thank you all for taking care of Shi Shi. I believe this will become a good story in the future, proving your unique vision."

Seeing that Du Sheng cared about her so much, Liu Shishi looked back at him gently and affectionately, feeling a little more touched in her heart.

Shen Nanpeng laughed and said:
"Of course. What we need most when investing is a unique vision."

Zhang Fan also raised his glass and said:

"I bet that within two years, President Du will become one of the most powerful representatives in the East!"

Du Sheng responded with a smile:

"Thanks to everyone for your good wishes. If this day really comes, we can all make money together and have a happy cooperation!"

"Happy cooperation!"

Everyone responded in unison, and the dinner ended amid laughter.

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

Zhang Fan and others saw Du Sheng off the door with great courtesy.

Liu Shishi didn't drink, so Du Sheng handed her the car keys:
"Wang Yaoyang went on a date with Zhang Siman, you're driving?"

"Alright."

Driving was not a strict rule in those days, and Liu Shishi had already bought a car and could drive naturally. She smiled happily:
"Brother Sheng, take a rest. We'll be there soon."

After a while, Du Sheng noticed that the route was wrong and asked:

"Back to Sunshine Community, are you taking the wrong route?"

Liu Shishi didn't know what she was thinking of, and her face turned red for some reason:

"I bought a house nearby. Brother Sheng, aren't you planning to come visit?"

Du Sheng: “…”

This girl is really smart and has her own way of speaking.

I just drank some wine, and it was late at night. What do you mean by this...

Liu Shishi saw Du Sheng looking at her strangely, and her pretty face became even redder:
"Last time you said that I could add some dance techniques to my Crane Fist, so I came up with some ideas, but I still need to put them into practice."

The other party has already said this much, what else can Du Sheng say? Of course he will stick with him to the end.

In order to test Liu Shishi's improved dancing skills, he even taught her personally.

I have to say that Liu Shishi is worthy of her background as a dancer. Her dancing moves are extremely graceful and her stretched and upright posture is perfect.

The dance studio's floor is of excellent quality, with just the right amount of friction, making her movements smoother.

Du Sheng had long been attracted by her performance, so he naturally joined in and guided her in practice.

Liu Shishi seemed to be lost in it and had no intention of resisting at all.

Looking at her shy and reluctant attitude, she is even more proactive than Du Sheng.

With a solid foundation in ballet and crane boxing, and practicing so diligently, he really deserves the reputation.

Especially the perfect fusion of the two, the moves are so beautiful.

She even discarded her delicate and fragile appearance and transformed herself into a stage elf.

Du Sheng became the only audience member and began his special performance that amazed everyone.

Her silent courage is definitely not comparable to that of other girls.

However, perhaps because he had been practicing for more than half an hour or because he was moving too fast, Liu Shishi accidentally fell and scraped his knee.

"Are you okay?"

Du Sheng felt some pity for the little girl and picked her up, who was sweating profusely.

"fine."

Although Liu Shishi's face was still flushed, she was still considerate and said softly:
"Brother Sheng, don't worry. I won't tell Xixi and the others what happened today..."

"Stop looking at people through the crack of the door. Am I such an irresponsible person?"

Du Sheng suddenly interrupted her and said in a loud voice:
"Since I am determined to teach you special skills, I will naturally be responsible for you to the end!"

If he is not held accountable, wouldn't this theory be useless?
And when he was just giving instructions, he had already been in charge several times.

After all, Liu Shishi's skills are still too shallow.

"Brother Sheng, you are so nice!"

Liu Shishi murmured, then contentedly let him hold her and fell asleep.

The next day, she walked with a limp, but the smile on her face was indescribably bright.

It seemed as if last night's experience was a rare and beautiful memory in her life.

Du Sheng naturally couldn't bear to let the girl go out like this, so he carefully helped her relax her muscles and joints.

It was almost noon, and under the urging of several phone calls, he finally took Liu Shishi to the Miracle Recording Studio with a sense of unfulfilled desire to continue preparing the recording of their single.

When Chen Tao saw Du Sheng, who had arrived late, his long-time friend and recording engineer couldn't help but complain:
"Ah Sheng, you kept me waiting for the whole morning again today.

If it weren't for the fact that we have been working together for such a long time, I would have asked you to treat us this time!

And it’s been almost a week, and the progress of Girls’ Generation’s songs is far behind the previous efficiency and quality…”

Du Sheng responded with a smile:

"Old Chen, what you said is not very authentic.

In addition to recording Girls' Generation's song this week, I can't help but mention the song "You" by the singer of "The Voice of the East".

And the reason I didn't come this morning was because Xiao Mi and Shi Shi weren't ready yet, right?"

The original plan for these two days was to record new singles for Liu Shishi and Yang Mi.

But because of the temporary arrangement of Blueberry TV, Yang Mi was busy the whole morning, so Du Sheng simply postponed it.

Chen Tao was just about to say that they could start recording other songs first, when he saw Liu Shishi and Yang Mi come in happily.

When he saw the two little girls, Chen Tao immediately put on a gentle expression.

Ever since his wife became pregnant, his fatherly love began to overflow, and he was especially fond of the little girls of Girls' Generation.

Treat her like her own daughter.

Unfortunately, Yang Mi and Liu Shishi's attention was completely focused on Du Sheng and they did not notice Chen Tao's enthusiasm.

In their hearts, the only things that come first are family and Du Sheng.

Especially in this kind of situation, there is a difference between light and heavy.

Looking at the two girls circling around Du Sheng, Chen Tao felt helpless.

Du Sheng patted Yang Mi's head gently and asked:

"Blueberry Station suddenly asked you to rehearse today?"

"Blueberry Channel is going to hold an anniversary show."

Yang Mi asked curiously:

"Didn't you, Brother Sheng, get invited?"

Du Sheng had no plans to go to the anniversary party again after attending it once two years ago.

Moreover, given his current status, participating in such activities will not bring him much fame.

Therefore, when Blueberry TV invited him, he declined the invitation on the grounds that he was preparing for a new movie.

As for Girls' Generation, Wang Jinhua suggested that they could participate.

In addition to being able to appear more often on big stages to consolidate popularity, it also allows you to accumulate experience singing in front of thousands of people.

After all, they will have to prepare for the concert next, so they must make plans and bargaining chips in advance.

.........

On this day, Du Sheng returned to Hong Kong urgently because he received a call from Cheng Long.

The filming team of "Baby Project" has completed most of the preliminary preparations and is just waiting for the order to start filming.

But this time he did not come alone, he was accompanied by the beautiful Gao Yuanyuan.

Outside the hotel, Zhang Baizhi, who was becoming more and more beautiful, was already waiting there.

When she saw Du Sheng's car parked outside the crew, she immediately walked towards him with brisk steps.

"Asheng, Yuanyuan, you are finally here!"

As soon as he saw Du Sheng getting off the car, he gave him a warm hug.

Then, he smiled happily and hugged Gao Yuanyuan.

They have been close comrades-in-arms for a long time, so naturally they are not particular about their positions.

At this moment, many media reporters and photographers gathered around.

They quickly captured the scene, with flashes flashing continuously.

Some journalists already have tomorrow's headlines in mind:

【Zhang Baizhi embraces idol superstar Du Sheng affectionately! 】

[The most beautiful Hong Kong star gives a sweet kiss to the new film! ]

[Surprise! Du Sheng is hugging two beauties, Zhang Baizhi and Gao Yuanyuan. Could it be that they...]
