I was just thinking about taking the arts exam and you said I've been playing supporting roles

Chapter 251 The clean stream in the entertainment industry will be targeted!
January 2011, 6, 26:9 am.

Lei Jun woke up from his office chair with a start.

"Whoo~~~"

Shaking his slightly heavy head, he quickly stood up and walked out of the office.

Many employees outside were sleeping in all kinds of positions, either kneeling or lying down. However, a few employees in charge of technical statistics and maintenance were staring at the background data and some real-time feedback from users with red eyes.

"KK, what's going on?"

Lei Jun took a picture of the guy who was dozing off. Huang Jiangji suddenly woke up. When he saw that it was Lei Jun, a smile immediately appeared on his face: "It has increased. Compared with the usual number of users, the current increase is more than 3 times!"

"At this rate of growth, this function should be fully popularized within a week!"

"I'm mainly worried about WeChat. They develop technology very quickly, and I don't know how long it will take them to follow up!"

People nearby, Tencent will 100% copy this feature.

But the prerequisite is how long it takes to copy it out.

One day slower is a good thing for Chat; however, no matter how fast Tencent updates the new version, Lei Jun estimates that it will take at least 3 weeks, because after copying, internal matching and testing are required, and it is impossible to release it directly.

Although Ma Huateng will definitely be anxious, he can't be too anxious.

"It's okay, we still have a trump card!"

Lei Jun suddenly smiled, with a very happy look on his face.

"Ok?"

Huang Jiangji was stunned, and his confused mind suddenly woke up: "What killer move?"

Previously, Chen Jin's idea of "People Nearby" was enough to make the whole office excited, but who would have thought that Lei Jun had another killer move?!

Huang Jiangji is one of the seven founders of Xiaomi. He is 35 years old and can be called a young talent.

When he was less than 30 years old, he was already the chief engineer of Microsoft Academy of Engineering, responsible for the MiTalk project, now called LiaoLiao.

"Shake it, there's a message in a bottle!"

"If two people shake their phones at the same time, they can match each other. Another way is to throw bottles..."

"We will update the app every three weeks, and strive to grab all the new users in the next two months, so that Tencent can follow us closely!"

"Then develop video call and Moments features!"

"The sooner the better!"

These, of course, are all Chen Jin’s suggestions.

Lei Jun now feels that it would be a real loss if Chen Jin didn't come to Xiaomi to serve as the chief product manager.

This guy is really smart, and the value of being the top scorer in the college entrance examination is very obvious.

Every time a new feature is launched, user stickiness actually increases.

What we are lacking now is stickiness.

The one with the strongest stickiness at the moment is of course QQ. The number of WeChat users is there, and people can abandon them at will, just like Sina Weibo and Tencent Weibo, even though Tencent Weibo claims to have 5 million users.

In the end, it went bankrupt.

The most terrifying thing is the user's dependence.

"Boss Lei, these..."

"Yes, Chen Jin told me!"

Lei Jun smiled and said that Chen Jin was now considered a celebrity in Xiaomi because he had come up with many constructive ideas.

In addition, other Xiaomi teams are also working on the integration into daily travel and so on.

"We are short of people!"

Lei Jun was very excited when he saw the encouraging growth of backend user data.

However, Xiaomi's current size cannot be compared with Tencent. Tencent is a large company with a booming gaming industry. Last month, it invested 4.5 million yuan in Huayi Brothers and holds a 4.6% stake!
Fortunately, WeChat is now managed by Zhang Xiaolong of the Guangzhou Business Unit, and the number of members in his team is similar to that of Xiaomi.

The main reason is that Zhang Xiaolong is a difficult person to deal with. He is a programming expert who is ranked among the best in the country and even the world. He was almost recruited by Lei Jun back then, but unfortunately missed the opportunity because he was too busy.

Lei Jun regrets it every time he thinks about it now.

15 million!

Back in 98, I could have bought both the people and the software for 15 yuan, but now they have to become my own competitor.

"Next month, we can start the second round of financing!"

Lei Jun was estimating that although he was rich, he was definitely not opposed to financing, joining forces with two strong companies, and he could take the risk.

"Chen Jin must be brought in!"

"He must have a backup plan..."

Whenever Lei Jun thought about how confident this guy was when facing a giant like Tencent, he would be impressed by him.

Even Lei Jun is terribly afraid of Tencent.

The current absolute leader of China's Internet, more terrifying than Alibaba and Baidu, who has an absolute chance of winning against it? !
After walking back to the office, Lei Jun sent a message to Chen Jin to talk about the user growth.

At this time, Chen Jin was rushing towards Beijing Film Academy.

There is no way, semester assessment!

Even if "Poetry" is rebroadcast in the evening and "The Founding of a Party" premieres tomorrow, it is not as important as the current exam.

In addition to several compulsory subjects in the cultural curriculum, there are also professional examinations in voice, stage, performance and acting.

The latter is easy for Chen Jin, but the former is a bit difficult.

Chen Jin has actually been reviewing for several days.

Moreover, Chen Jin had brought this upon himself, as he had to take exams for both the acting department and the directing department as well. Fortunately, Lin Zhaohua of the Peking University Arts Academy did not have high requirements, as he only wanted one big play, otherwise Chen Jin would have been in a lot of trouble after passing the three departments.

But even so, Chen Jin was exhausted these days. Fortunately, he had a good memory. Although he couldn't get high scores, passing the cultural subjects should be... no problem.

At worst, you can take a make-up exam and prepare again.

Looking at the chat sent by Lei Jun, Chen Jin actually had an idea in mind.

No matter how powerful the people around you are, it will take about a week for the trend to ferment. If WeChat can be launched at that time, it may pose a threat to Chat, but developing a version and function in a week is simply impossible.

Even for Tencent, it’s not that fast.

According to the original timeline, WeChat launched the "People Nearby" feature on August 8, while MiTalk did not launch this feature until September 5.

It’s a full month and a half late. Even if Tencent was faster, it would probably take another month.

This month is enough for us to fully develop and become a popular app with 3000 million or even more users; after a few more updates, it will cross the 5000 million user level, which will be another leap.

I don’t know whether WeChat’s users will reach 1000 million by then.

As one side gains, the other loses. There is still a chance of winning if you just talk.

"Chen Jin?"

"Are you taking the exam too?"

The voice was very iconic, and Chen Jin knew who it was without turning around: "You're saying that, aren't you here too?"

"Haha, there's nothing I can do!"

"Don't schools like yours give you a backdoor?"

Yang Zi was smiling, and Chen Jin sighed: "The dean does want to, but if it gets exposed, wouldn't I be the one to die?"

"That's right, you are so cautious~~"

Yang Zi and Chen Jin walked towards the class for the cultural examination, which was all about this semester's courses.

For example, "Appreciation of Film and Television Art", "History of Chinese Film", etc.

"Are you confident in the exam?"

Yang Zi suddenly asked.

"No, are you confident?"

"I do not have either!"

Yang Zi spread her hands and said, "I'm ready to fail the course and take the make-up exam next semester!"

What a pair of brothers in distress!
I have to add Zhang Yishan as well. Li Xian has been working very hard these days. I guess he is cramming for the semester exam.

When they arrived at the examination room, they could see that everyone was very nervous. No one greeted Chen Jin, and they just nodded as a token of their acknowledgement.

The first subject was "Appreciation of Film and Television Art". After the test paper was handed out, Chen Jin looked at it carefully.

The invigilator turned out to be this guy Zhai Tianlin.

It seemed that he was still an assistant teacher, responsible for their class's lines lesson, which Chen Jin had never attended once.

After seeing this, I couldn't help but look at it a few more times.

The key point is that Zhai Tianlin smiled at Chen Jin, so Chen Jin quickly lowered his head and began to look at the test paper seriously. Chen Jin also roughly flipped through the "Appreciation of Film and Television Art" these two days, but forget about memorizing it, as it is a very thick book.

But now after looking at the question, I find that it seems... not difficult.

Yes, at least that's the case for Chen Jin.

He seemed to have the answer in his mind, and he knew how to write the question after reading it. These theories about acting, which were systematically reinforced information, were unexpectedly useful for the course.

When thinking about this, Chen Jin felt a little happy.

Are you still worried about failing the exam?

Chen Jin hurriedly started writing quickly and didn't even notice Zhai Tianlin approaching him.

Of course, Zhai Tianlin knew about Chen Jin, a student in their class, but this student came to school too seldom. Even as an assistant teacher of the acting department, Zhai Tianlin had never met this student. Today, he originally wanted to see how Chen Jin, the "skipper", did in the exam.

Unexpectedly, looking at the test paper filled with words written by Chen Jin with great enthusiasm, he was forced to control his gaze for more than 10 seconds.

After he finished reading Chen Jin's answers, he found that this student had answered very well even without attending class. Even if he were to take this test, his performance would probably be at this level.

In fact, he overestimated himself a little bit, and he might fail if he did it.

After finishing the test paper quickly, Chen Jin checked it several times. Yang Zi, who was standing next to him, happened to look up and saw Chen Jin's flipping test paper.

"..."

The densely written words on it made Yang Zi stunned.

This guy, didn’t he just say that he was going to fail the exam?

What you mean by failing the course is that you have already finished writing all the letters?

Yang Zi looked at her test paper which had some blank spaces on it and couldn't help but feel like crying. She felt that she had been deceived by Chen Jin.

There is not a single word of truth coming out of that guy's mouth.

If she continues to believe his lies, her surname will no longer be Yang!
She really can't do that. When Yang Zi thought of this, she felt so angry that her teeth were itching at Chen Jin.

She thought someone would be there to accompany her if she failed a course... Now, she can only hope for Zhang Houzi.

I wonder what Zhang Houzi is like?
Yang Zi glanced at Zhang Yishan who was scratching his ears not far away and couldn't help but laugh.

Fortunately, it seems that this monkey is the same as me.

Not much better than her.

Jingle Bell!
When the bell rang to signal the end of the exam, Chen Jin hurriedly stood up and handed the test paper to Zhai Tianlin.

"Chen Jin, this is the first time I've seen you in this semester!"

Zhai Tianlin smiled at Chen Jin who was about to leave. Chen Jin looked at him puzzledly. Of course, this was intentional.

"My last name is Zhai, I'm a dialogue teacher and an assistant professor in the acting department!"

"Oh, hello, Mr. Zhai, do you know CNKI?"

"what?"

Zhai Tianlin blinked: "What network?"

"HowNet, you never used it for your graduation thesis?"

"Oh, CNKI, I know..."

Zhai Tianlin was obviously a little embarrassed. Chen Jin smiled and said, "I thought Teacher Zhai didn't know. Your graduation thesis is hilarious!"

Zhai Tianlin: “…”

"I have something to do, I'm leaving first!"

Chen Jin greeted him and turned to leave the classroom. However, Zhai Tianlin was a little puzzled. Why was this guy asking about CNKI for no reason?
HowNet... He seemed to have heard of it.

But when he was writing his graduation thesis, he did not check these things. He copied Chen Kun's graduation thesis.

"I have to let Lao Zhang kill this bitch from now on..."

Guys like Zhai Tianlin can only be dealt with secretly. If they were exposed, it would be unfair to the vast number of students in the society. But it is obviously not a good thing for such people to jump around in the entertainment industry, so we have to explain the interests involved to Zhang Huijun.

As long as he, the dean, is not stupid, he will definitely take appropriate measures.

Zhai Tianlin is not very famous now, and he has not even been admitted to Peking University. If this happens, Peking University will also suffer, which is simply a disaster.

"Chen Jin!"

As soon as Chen Jin walked out of the classroom, he was stopped by Yang Zi.

"What's wrong?"

Chen Jin obviously didn't know that he had finished the test paper and was seen by Yang Zi.

"Didn't you say you had no confidence in the exam?"

Yang Zi's tone was not questioning, but rather a little depressed.

"haha, yes!"

"Aren't you done yet?"

"Finishing a task and having confidence are two different things. Don't tell me you left all the questions blank?"

Yang Zi: “…”

"If you write something, the teacher will give you friendship points, right?"

"Is this okay?"

Yang Zi definitely couldn't have thought of that.

"There's no hope. You'll fail the exam!"

Chen Jin looked as if he was gloating over someone else's misfortune, but Yang Zi pointed at Zhang Yishan who was walking out and said, "It's okay, I have Zhang Houzi to accompany me!"

"You two are such a difficult couple!"

"What are you talking about!"

Zhang Yishan didn't take the failure of the exam seriously at all, and said to Chen Jin, "You are going to attend the premiere tomorrow, right?"

"Well, it's tonight, aren't you going?"

"Tsk tsk, how can a little Karami like me deserve to be in such a scene!"

"No way, you have a lot of roles..."

"It has nothing to do with the role, it's about the status, the status is not there yet!"

Zhang Yishan sighed, and Chen Jin could understand that, the people who attended the premiere really had nothing to do with the length of the movie, for characters like Huang Xuan, Zhou Jie, etc., were all on the boat in the finale, and each person had at least 5-6 minutes.

But Fan Bingbing only had one shot for a few seconds as Empress Longyu of Emperor Guangxu, but she was able to attend the premiere.

All of this is because of the company behind her and her fame in this circle.

To be frank, Zhang Yishan's appearance did not boost the box office at all. He was just a child star who became famous in sitcoms, and moviegoers didn't buy into him at all. But Fan Bingbing is different. Her fans might actually go to the cinema to buy a few tickets just for her.

The same is true for Chow Yun-fat and others, so when it comes to invitations to the premiere, China Film Corporation obviously only invites people based on their availability, and not everyone can attend.

This circle is more cruel than you can imagine.

"Fine!"

"Are you going to participate in a variety show next month?"

"Well, "Dancing with the Stars" can't compare to you. CCTV's first large-scale variety show after its transformation, its popularity online has overshadowed all other shows!"

It would be obviously a lie for Zhang Yishan to say that he was not envious.

Yang Zi next to him also had a jealous look on his face.

The speed and manner in which Chen Jin rose to fame this year is the most unconventional in the circle. Even if someone wanted to trip him up or spread dirty secrets about him, those behind him might not allow it.

It's so hard!

What happened to Zhang Weiping some time ago did not have any negative impact on Chen Jin. Han Sanpin played a big role in it.

But this doesn’t mean that Chen Jin now possesses a golden body. On the contrary... in fact, the current entertainment industry will be very hostile to him.

You can tell from the fact that no one sent Pu Lun a script.

Chen Jin doesn't have many roles to take on now, except the ones he shoots himself.

Many people in the circle actually dislike people like Chen Jin.

Because he is too upright.

If he doesn't go along with the crowd, then such a person will definitely be targeted; in fact, there are still many people waiting to see him laugh. When the wave of "The Founding of a Party" is over, Chen Jin's popularity will probably fade...

This is what everyone is looking forward to.

Although Yang Zi and Zhang Yishan are famous, they are just students and child stars and have not been involved in this deep circle at all.

Therefore, the people who have a good relationship with Chen Jin now are these classmates and teachers.

Even if these people will have all kinds of negative news in the future, at least they are all good now.

"In a few days, the second episode of Poetry will have some supporting actors. The school should send out a notice. If you have time, you can go and take it!"

"You two should have an advantage over others!"

"really?"

Yang Zi obviously wanted to go, and begged: "Brother Jin, please help me and say hello to the director for me!"

"Please take me~~"

Zhang Yishan standing by also had a hopeful look on his face.

"Aren't you going to be on Dancing With the Stars? Yang Zi can..."

"Oh, yes, the contract has been signed. Let's wait. If you need me later, I'm always available!"

"Well, that's fine, I'll let you know when the time comes!"

Chen Jin didn't think much about it. He chatted with the two people for a while, and then the second exam began.

The invigilator this time was obviously not Zhai Tianlin.

Chen Jin spent the entire day taking exams. He was originally worried about failing the exam, but after finishing the last exam, he no longer had any worries.

so easy~~~
A life full of cheats really needs no explanation.

Chen Jin has to go home tonight to watch the rebroadcast of "China in Poetry" with her parents!
