Extracting skills from movies

Du Sheng did not comment and said:

“There are indeed differences in industries, but the speed at which the Internet is developing is amazing.

This year, the number of Internet users in Asia will exceed 5 million, and TVING's market share here has exceeded 2.5%.

This means a huge market with nearly 100 million users.

Not to mention that this market is still growing and these are also potential customers.

How much do you think a platform with hundreds of millions of viewers should be valued at?"

Due to the rapid development of the TVING platform, although online videos have been established in Korea and Japan, their development is not ideal.

Video websites in other small countries pose no threat at all.

Among the current Asian streaming sites, the TVING platform does dominate.

Zhang Fan felt a little powerless when he sensed Du Sheng's firm attitude.

After all, the other party currently has no shortage of cash flow at all.

"Mr. Du, please give us a price first. We also want to know your expectations."

Du Sheng answered directly:

“We are all old acquaintances, and we will be working together on the “How to Train Your Dragon” project in the future, so let me talk about it in detail.

The valuation of 60 billion is too low. Bertelsmann Venture Capital once publicly stated that it could reach a valuation of 150 billion in the next three years.

I won't calculate the highest rate either, I think your money is worth about 9%."

Du Sheng increased the valuation by half, so he only gave the other party half of the shares.

Zhang Fan thought for a moment and said:

"Mr. Du, we don't want to make the discussion too complicated.

I'll give you 10.8 billion and 11% of the shares. Is that okay?"

For Du Sheng, a valuation of over 10 billion is already in line with expectations.

Li Yixin, the second largest shareholder, once said that a valuation of 60 billion was already a great achievement.

He pondered for a moment and felt that there was not much room to raise the valuation further, so he nodded in agreement:

"That's it, arguing about weight is not our style."

This money can solve the problem of the company's rapid expansion.

After all, just the pit of new energy, even if hundreds of millions of dollars are invested, it may not be able to make any waves.

But this is the future world track, and he is very clear that it involves the destiny of the country, so he has to increase investment even if it means losing money.

After the financing was settled, Zhang Fan and Shen Nanpeng both breathed a sigh of relief.

Since the establishment of their Dehua Fund, they have not been able to find a suitable project. They have a large amount of funds but nowhere to invest them, which makes them feel very upset.

Now that part of the funds have been invested in the TVING platform, subsequent work will be much easier to carry out.

Now that the most critical link has been resolved, the remaining details of the cooperation can be discussed slowly.

After a meal, the host and the guests were treated to a quick meal.

.........

The next day, Du Sheng took the duo "Zhihui Shuangquan" to the Beijing Gymnasium.

The program "Unforgettable Tonight" is about to be recorded here.

As soon as I got backstage, I saw Wang Jinhua already busying around there.

She handled all the preliminary preparations properly.

The organizers were particularly enthusiastic about Du Sheng, Zhang Baizhi and Zhou Huimin, and prepared a large and luxurious dressing room and changing room for them.

Wang Jinhua talked to everyone about the next arrangements:

"It's three o'clock in the afternoon. We will go to the stage to rehearse the music for tonight's performance and check the lighting effects.

I started putting on makeup at about 4:30, and started recording at about 6:00..."

Yangshi’s appeal has always been strong, and the scene was so lively with many well-known artists coming.

Sun Yu, Pang Long, Han Hong from the mainland, as well as Jolin Tsai, Twins, Sally Yang and so on from Hong Kong and Bay City.

It is estimated that many of them are participating in other programs of the Spring Festival Gala.

As soon as Du Shengpu showed up, many people came up to greet him.

Those who didn't know the situation would think that some important person had arrived.

On the stage, Kangta from Korea is rehearsing.

Du Sheng and Zhihui Shuangquan were chatting nearby.

Twins found Du Sheng, greeted him excitedly, and then started chatting with Zhang Baizhi and Zhou Huimin.

They are here to participate in the Spring Festival Gala, and it's no coincidence that they are here today.

Thinking of the disastrous defeat of the 'Seven Fairies Front' against Du Sheng the night before, they felt a little resentful but also a little excited.

With more sisters joining us tonight, there’s no way this man can get away.

Du Sheng, who had greeted everyone, didn't think about these things.

Looking at the loneliness that could not be concealed on Yang Qianhua's face when she left, I was wondering in my heart whether she had completely broken up with the "Prince of Hong Kong Circle" Zheng Zhongji.

Next, are you going to release a new song "The Strong Woman" to diss the other party?
After waiting for Kangta to finish rehearsal, it was the turn of 'Zhi Hui Shuang Quan'.

They will sing their new single "Light Chaser" tonight.

As soon as the song started, the melody and rhythm were so light and pleasant that they immediately attracted everyone's attention.

Just listening to it makes people can't help but sway along, and a warm feeling of chasing dreams comes to their hearts.

"Hui Min and Bo Zhi are so lucky. Following you, they sing one great song after another."

Huang Shengyi, who hadn't seen him for a long time, came up to Du Sheng and said quietly:

"Look at the eyes of the singers around you. They are all envious."

Du Sheng smiled and joked:
"Envy? I think there are quite a few who are jealous.

Many singers originally planned to release new works at the end of the year, but now some have started to adjust their release schedules, for fear of clashing with them. "

Huang Shengyi glanced at the singer from Bay City and said with a curled lip:

"Fortunately, I'm not a singer. The pressure of competition from my peers is something that not everyone can handle."

Du Sheng turned his head and looked at Huang Shengyi carefully, and asked:

"You don't seem to have released any songs, right? Why did Unforgettable Tonight invite you to be a guest?"

Since their collaboration on the movie "Kung Fu", the two sides have had less contact.

I learned some time ago that she had broken up with Stephen Chow just like in her previous life and went solo.

It’s just that he was too busy to pay much attention to how it was developing.

When Huang Shengyi heard this, he immediately pretended to be pitiful and sighed and said:

"You know I'm a lone ranger in this industry, with no backing or support.

I can only think of ways to build a good relationship with Yangshi, participate in more of their activities, and become familiar with them. "

Du Sheng looked at her pitiful appearance and couldn't help teasing her:

“I heard that Yangzi has special feelings for you. If you agree, he will definitely arrange for you to appear in a play invested by his family.

For example, the much-talked-about "The Legend of the White Snake", I heard that it has a relationship with Yangshi, and the investment is nearly 100 million yuan. "

Huang Shengyi heard this and patted Du Sheng lightly, complaining:

"Don't mention it, Yangzi is not a good man at all, he's still chasing after someone after getting married!

I don’t want to act in TV dramas at all now. I just want to find a man with similar conditions and start a family. Why is it so difficult?
I have lowered my requirements, as long as the income is decent. "

Huang Shengyi is really a little anxious. The termination of her contract last year caused her resources to plummet.

Besides, I’m almost 25 years old, so I can’t delay getting married any longer.

Her original idea of ​​becoming famous was to find a good man to marry.

But it is indeed a big problem for female celebrities to find a partner.

Most women want to find a man who is better than themselves, but female celebrities have high incomes, so if you look further up, you'll basically end up with wealthy men.

Although there are examples like Wang Yan who successfully married into wealthy families, there are also many who did not.

Du Sheng couldn't help her in this regard, but he could just give her some comfort:
"There's no point in being anxious, it's better to take it slow. And with your looks and fame, you should be the one being anxious. You're putting the cart before the horse."

Huang Shengyi looked at Du Sheng's handsome face and suddenly blinked:

"If I really can't find the right one, I'll come to you to borrow some 'seeds' so I can have an idea."

If you really can't find a good man, it's okay to have a baby to accompany you forever.

Of course, the baby's genes must be excellent and strong.

The one next to me is very good.

She has experienced it in all aspects and it is indeed the best choice.

Du Sheng looked at the cool and beautiful Huang Shengyi and laughed:
"You can borrow the seeds at any time, but whether you can plant them is unknown."

Huang Shengyi was a little unconvinced and asked suspiciously:

"If it doesn't work once, why not try a few more times?"

"Do you want to test it again?"

"If I'm afraid of you, I'll come tonight and fight till dawn!"

"Not tonight. Huimin, Bozhi, and the twins have prepared a table full of delicious food, and they are eyeing us eagerly."

Huang Shengyi: “…”

Du Sheng spread his hands, pretending to be helpless:

"I've been too busy lately. If you really want to do this, you can make an appointment first."

Even if we don't count the girls around him now, women like Fan Bingbing, Gao Yuanyuan, Jia Jingwen, Liu Tao and others who are active in Beijing and Modulo are enough to torment him.

Otherwise, they would also have to refer to the New Year's Eve parties in various places, and it would take several days to arrange one for each day.

If we include Girls' Generation, who have been filming in various locations and recently reunited for group activities, the queue is no joke.

Huang Shengyi rolled her eyes at him and said unhappily:
"Then why not draw lots to avoid being late?"

Du Sheng was happy:

"You can shake it any way you want, as long as you find a good place to sow the seeds."

Huang Shengyi is a man of action, and immediately took out his mobile phone:

"This is my new home address. I'll be here for the next month. I can find whatever place I want!"

After saying that, Huang Shengyi struck a charming pose and whispered in his ear:
"Of course, the premise is that I haven't found my ideal husband during this period of time, otherwise..."

Du Sheng smiled and continued:

"Wouldn't it be more fun to till the land together?"

"Bah, you think so beautifully!"

Huang Shengyi rolled her eyes and walked away gracefully.

Looking at Huang Shengyi's back, Du Sheng inexplicably thought of the mute in "Kung Fu".

He hasn't tried to restore the vocal cord function of a mute yet, which is quite exciting to think about.

In the corner of the stage side curtain, 'Zhihui Shuangquan' was standing on tiptoe, looking around.

As soon as Du Sheng approached, he found that there was a round-faced girl next to them. This girl had the signature Korean air bangs and her almond eyes were so bright that they looked like stars.

When she saw Du Sheng, she was extremely excited and said in not very fluent Chinese:

"Hello, Oppa! I'm your biggest fan!"

This actress is Sara, who is very popular in mainland China.

She is a member of the Sino-Korean group THE COLOR and serves as the lead singer. She became popular in both countries for her nickname "Angel with Seductive Eyes".

Not long ago, he also participated in the large-scale event "Family Mobilization" of Yangshi Economic Channel.

Although she meant to express that she was a die-hard fan, she obviously said the wrong word.

This girl is really amazing. With the title of "Angel with Charming Eyes", she has reaped the benefits in both China and South Korea, and has turned the title of cultural exchange ambassador into a code for wealth.

Du Sheng remembered that in her previous life, Hyun Ja was a rookie singer with no background and a dropout. She was spotted by the "Like Music" record company in Bay City partly because she was somewhat similar to Sara.

The producer thought Hyunja looked like Sara, and the company just happened to lack a female singer with such a fresh image, so they decided to help her debut.

This is also the reason why Hyunja was able to sing "Have to Love" with Wilber Pan as soon as she debuted.

Seeing Du Sheng, Sara was so excited that she was a little incoherent.

It seems that she is indeed a loyal fan of Du Sheng.

"Nice to meet you."

Du Sheng nodded politely, but unexpectedly, this reserve made Sara's eyes brighter.

In her eyes, the cooler the idol is, the more superstar he or she looks like.

This enthusiasm is even more exaggerated than when Dabaobei chased G-Dragon.

But it’s no wonder. Du Sheng’s current status in the music industry is so high that ten Quan Zhichong combined can’t reach his level.

After chatting for a while, Du Sheng just took 'Zhihui Shuangquan' back to the dressing room when there was a knock on the door.

"Please come in!"

Following this response, a woman in high heels came in with a fragrant breeze.

She was about forty years old, beautiful, well-dressed, fashionable and capable, and exuded the confidence of a strong woman.

Du Sheng was very familiar with this temperament, because Zhong Zhen was the same now.

"Hello, Mr. Du, my name is Li Yifei, and I'm the person in charge of the Eastern Region of MTV Global Network. It's an honor to meet you!"

After hearing her introduction, Du Sheng instantly remembered the other person's identity.

The life of this person is truly legendary.

He was once a martial arts champion, then went to the United States to pursue a master's degree, worked at the United Nations, and is now the president of MTV Asia.

MTV Global Network was founded by Paramount's parent company and covers nearly 166 million household users in 4 countries and regions in the world today.

It entered the mainland in the form of program exchange ten years ago, and has been deeply rooted in the mainland for so many years. With the support of the world's third largest media "Viacom Group", its development is naturally good.

It has now become the first international television brand in mainland China.

This time, "Happy Tonight" has prepared music, children's theater and other programs, so it is natural to invite MTV Global Network.

Du Sheng stood up, shook hands with the other party, and said with a smile:

"Hello, Mr. Li. I've read your hard-working biography. I even had a drink with your husband at the last Renren financing dinner."

Recalling that dinner, Wang Chaoyong, dressed in a suit and with a serious look, was not conspicuous, but he was no minor character either.

Although Wang Chaoyong said only a few words at that time, the person he could remember was never the one with the loudest voice.

Because the other party is a veteran in the investment banking circle, he was instrumental in CICC’s introduction of Goldman Sachs Capital.

Li Yifei handed over her business card with a smile, and the matte nail polish on her fingers looked particularly delicate under the light:
"Old Wang had the honor of attending a cocktail party hosted by Renren.com before, and he said that you two got along very well."

"Your views on blockchain are indeed very interesting, especially data centers..."

Du Sheng's words made Li Yifei feel relieved.

I feel like I'm truly respected.

"Mr. Du, you are so polite!
The last time Old Wang came back from having dinner with you, he kept talking about you.

He said that he has been in the business world for so many years, but he has never seen anyone as capable as you.

I've been thinking about you for a long time since I learned that you were going to participate in "Unforgettable Tonight". As soon as I arrived at the venue, I wanted to come and see you. I hope you don't mind my intrusion!"

Du Sheng smiled and said:
"We are all friends, don't be so formal.

Huimin, Baizhi, you guys come over and get to know me too.

It is fate that we can meet in such a place."

It was still early, so Zhou Huimin and Zhang Baizhi came over and got to know Li Yifei.

After all, the other party is an upper-middle class figure in the entertainment industry, and there are many benefits to having a good relationship with him.

After a few more small talk, Li Yifei got to the point:
"Mr. Du, MTV Global Network and I have a lot of advertising client resources at hand.

We particularly hope to have in-depth cooperation with the TVING platform to achieve a win-win situation..."

Advertiser resources are exactly what the TVING platform urgently needs right now.

Li Yifei is really good at handling things. She took the lead in expressing her goodwill as soon as she opened her mouth. (End of this chapter)
