Huayu timely rain, they forced me to be the top star

Chapter 446 Extra Chapter 4: Playing with Short Videos, A New Era

Zhang Yang's live stream on the set of "Eternal Love" became a trending topic on the internet that very night.

Fans from neighboring Southeast Asian countries, including Peninsula and Little Days, also came across the internet to share the videos, which was reported by the media.

He is the first Chinese citizen to win both an Oscar and a Golden Globe for Best Director, and he is only 26 years old. He is a world-class superstar.

This matter is being hotly discussed and debated across the internet.

[I rarely go to bed early, and you tell me Yang Ge is doing a live stream? What a blunder!]

[We hope Yang Ge will do more live streams. As our idol, he needs to promote himself appropriately.]

I think Yang Ge could play professionally in gaming leagues; Yang Mi calls him the "King of the Jungle," and I'm in awe of him.

Which window did God close for him, huh?

[Family members, I've decided to switch my fandom. Yang Ge is too detached; following another person won't make a difference.]

Hugo's worthless appearance is hilarious.

Before Yang Ge, all stars are equal.

[Yang Ge, can we please hurry up and finish playing Honkai Impact 3?]

[Honor of Kings is fun; it's a mobile game similar to League of Legends. Yang Ge, could you develop a mobile game similar to Counter-Strike?]

【No, are you guys treating Yang Ge like a wishing well?】

[Making a wish is normal, and Chenhai is the one who organizes all the variety shows anyway. I want to watch the new season of Escape Room. Bai Lu is hilarious; she keeps sliding on her knees.]

[Haha, Bai Mengyan is known as a street hustler in the variety show world, are you kidding me?]

[Bai Mengyan has milky skin; she's like a fairy descended to earth!]

[She is Li Yitong's half-sister.]

【.】

You can talk about anything online.

"Look at all these nicknames I have."

"A street hustler in the variety show world!"

How will you compensate me for my emotional distress?

Inside a hotel in Hengdian.

Bai Lu, who was filming the TV series "The Legends", came to Zhang Yang to demand an explanation. She showed off her cute little tiger teeth and had a shy yet annoyed expression on her face.

In 14, after she signed with Zhang Yang's company, she was indeed heavily promoted.

Originally, she wanted to follow the same path as Li Yitong and Yang Chaoyue, working her way up from assistant to artist.

First, she should follow Zhang Yang around various film crews to accumulate experience. Once her acting skills are good enough, she can play the second or third female lead in major TV series to gain exposure. When her popularity reaches the third or fourth tier, she can star in web series or play supporting roles in big productions.

Once she reached the second tier, she began starring as the female lead in important projects for Chenhai.

But Zhang Yang arranged a new path for her.

She was given opportunities to appear on various variety shows to build her popularity, while simultaneously receiving systematic acting training at the Beijing Film Academy's vocational college program.

If you have free time, you can also go to various film crews to play minor roles and become familiar with the film set.

She appears on "Running Man," "Go Fighting!", and is a regular cast member on "Who's the Murderer" and "Escape Room."

She appeared on "Mars Intelligence Agency" and "Ace vs Ace".

She participated in several episodes of "Happy Comedians".

Then Zhang Yang arranged for people to create a persona for her as a "street hustler in the variety show circle".

Believe it or not, because she's a funny woman, quite good-looking, and outgoing, her popularity now rivals that of many A-list celebrities.

She and Dilraba are two of the most typical female celebrities who benefited from the popularity of variety show recordings, bringing the variety show field to the attention of many people across the country.

She had a lot of fun on the variety show, but she still had the actors on her mind.

Variety shows have a side effect: they're so funny that they leave a strong impression but lack mystery.

Keep your distance; her acting can easily create a sense of disconnect for viewers.

Fortunately, Zhang Yang was good at making arrangements for her.

They said they wanted her to act in a period drama.

Ancient makeup and styling would leave a shallow impression on people.

Wait a few years until her acting skills are more suitable before she starts acting in serious dramas.

There are always more ways than difficulties.

But now, she has also earned the nickname "TV drama street hustler".

She appeared in "Ode to Joy" and "To Be a Better Man".

She appears in all the movies invested in by Chenhai.

It's often said that minor fame comes from being promoted, while major fame comes from fate.

Bai Lu believes that with Zhang Yang's support, you're sure to become famous.

Perhaps it's good luck that Zhang Yang took a liking to me?
"How to compensate?"

Zhang Yang suddenly reached out and pulled Bai Lu into his arms, then changed his position and pinned her down.

"What, what are you going to do?!" Bai Lu's fair face turned bright red.

At such close range, I could feel their breaths and hear their heartbeats.

This is absolutely killing her!
"What do you say?"

Zhang Yang directly sealed Bai Lu's lips with his.

White Dew: !!!
boom.

She felt as if something exploded in her mind.

Zhang Yang, how could you kiss her like that?
At least let her prepare mentally.

But soon, she became captivated by the ocean, which combined domineering power with gentleness.

In fact, she had known this day would come for a long time, especially after learning about the relationship between Li Yitong and other women and Zhang Yang.

She didn't even realize that she was hopelessly in love with this man.

That's probably the mentality of fans.

It's also possible that the man "fell from the sky" when he was almost killed.

Or perhaps it was this man's excellence that made her a big star so easily.

Actually, there isn't that many reasons.

"Hmm~"

That night, a sudden downpour began outside the window.

For the first time, the newly cultivated land, which had never been sown before, became moist.

~cutting line~
Time flies like an arrow; a long time has passed in the blink of an eye.

In the blink of an eye, another year has passed.

Amidst the tides of time, countless fish surge and churn at the crest of the wave.

On January 26, 2017, Lunar New Year's Eve, families were reunited.

Countless people, regardless of age or gender, were glued to their television sets.

This year, Zhang Yang has another performance to watch, drawing widespread attention.

Over the past year.

Chenhai has produced numerous TV series and movies.

Even the worst TV series is still a moderate hit, enjoying unparalleled popularity when it airs.

Examples include "While You Were Sleeping", "W: Two Worlds", and "Love O2O".

Through the Dream Entry ability of the Opportunity Manual, Zhang Yang inherited several extraordinary abilities.

One is precognitive dreams; if he, his wife, or his children are in danger, he will dream about it in advance.

Using this ability, he helped Liu Yifei avoid an attack by a hater.

He also helped Fat Bing avoid a car accident.

To avoid Yang Mi nearly miscarrying due to improper use of wires during filming, which could cause a public outcry.

W: Two Worlds

The male protagonist lives in an anime world.

This male protagonist allows Zhang Yang to inherit the ability to travel through time.

Due to the limitations of the world's rules, one can only travel through the comic book world in dreams, and cannot bring out anything substantial.

But that dream felt so real, like he was experiencing a new life in another world.

He even thought that if he could enter a fantasy world of cultivation and become powerful to a certain extent.

Whether it will become an existence that reflects all the heavens and myriad worlds is, of course, just a thought.

For the time being, he played Naruto for a bit.

The main theme is a life of gaming. (The title is "Love O2O").

Become a gaming master.

Now, all the mobile games produced by Chenhai have his involvement.

In addition, he used his computer skills and understanding of Douyin (TikTok) to create the Chenhai short video software.

"Hello everyone."

"Welcome to the Spring Festival Gala."

"Today, everyone can pick up their phones, go to Chenhai Short Video, and watch."

Xiao Sa's voice spread to every household.

Many young people pick up their phones and open Chenhai Short Video.

In another time and space, a music-themed short video social networking software developed by Beijing Douyin Technology Co., Ltd. was launched in September 2016, which was the predecessor of Douyin, A.me.

In December of the same year, the software was renamed Douyin (TikTok), or simply "Douyin".

The shareholder of this company is "Toutiao".

On November 10, 2017, Toutiao acquired Musical.ly, a North American music short video social platform, for $1 billion and merged it with Douyin.

In January 2019, CCTV announced that Douyin (TikTok) would be the exclusive social media platform for the 2019 CCTV Spring Festival Gala.
2023年9月，抖音集团入选艾媒金榜发布的《2023年中国新经济独角兽企业百强榜》，并以估值约26000亿元人民币位居第1位。

2024年2月，抖音入选Brand Finance评选的2024全球品牌价值500强，排名第7。

Douyin has developed very rapidly, reaching hundreds of millions of registered users in less than half a year from its launch.

However, that was in another time and space.

In this timeline, Zhang Yang develops algorithms and purchases and deploys servers in advance during his dream.

Last June, Chenhai launched its short video platform to compete with Kuaishou, which was the top short video platform at the time.

The first step is to require all the streamers signed with Chenhai Live to post updates on Chenhai Short Video.

The second step is for the company to gain fame and sign bloggers he believes will become popular in the future, creating "food bloggers," "history bloggers," "beauty bloggers," "music bloggers," and "dress-up bloggers"!
The third step, and arguably the most important, is to start releasing a large number of songs and producing instrumental music to provide enough material for short video editing.

There are also some auxiliary operations.

For example, editing TV series and movies that Chenhai owns the copyright to.

Films such as *Nirvana in Fire*, *The Disguiser*, *I Hear Your Voice*, *My Love from the Star*, *Detective Chinatown 1*, and *Goodbye Mr. Loser*.

It's all about watching short videos that slows you down, you could even say it's like a brake.

Even dogs stop and look at it before they leave.

It possesses such a large amount of original material.

Furthermore, it is a legally protected monopoly of development.

Kuaishou had no chance to fight back.

After all, it doesn't own the copyright to Zhang Yang's songs.

He also doesn't own the copyrights to those hit TV series and movies.

The most popular live streamers in recent years are required by their contracts not to work on their platforms.

Several of the most popular games also have Chenhai as a shareholder, preventing other platforms from releasing them.

Despite these constraints, Zhang Yang still provided copywriting for bloggers from the perspective of people from a later era.

To create a phenomenon-level dynamic.

In just six months, Chenhai Short Video has reached 100 million registered users.

Now, he has even used his connections to secure Chenhai Short Video as the exclusive sponsor of the Spring Festival Gala, and has also started using the tactic of giving out red envelopes to attract more people to register.

Once you've played it for a short time, you won't be able to bear to put it down.

I heard Yang Ge has another big event planned for this year, looking forward to it.

[Short video platforms sponsoring the Spring Festival Gala? That's jarring.]

Honestly, since the emergence of short videos, I feel my lifestyle has changed. I'm glued to my phone all day, constantly scrolling through short videos.

I love browsing pet bloggers. I'm allergic to cat fur, but I can virtually own all kinds of cats.

The last time I felt my life changed was around 12-13 when mobile phones became widespread; I never imagined things would be different again just three years later.

Scrolling through short videos is really addictive; hours can pass by without you even noticing.

I used to have this feeling when reading novels, but now I find short videos interesting.

[I love the cross-dressing scene the most; I've watched Yang Ge and Liu Yifei's one more than ten times.]

[Yang Ge is amazing; every video he posts gets tens of millions of likes.]

Because of short videos, I've watched countless TV series and movies online.

[I used to only watch Korean dramas and American movies, but now I also watch Zhang Yang's productions.]

[Chenhai is truly an invention that will change lives.]

【.】

Short videos have made many people internet celebrities.

Many businesses are now paying attention to this platform, letting bloggers with a large following sell their products, which has made some people rich.

Many media outlets are saying that short videos are the next big thing.

On New Year's Day, January 1, 2017, numerous organizations, including fire departments, police stations, and official Weibo accounts of major television stations, joined the Chenhai short video platform.

It took Weibo several years to achieve such a feat.

Currently, artists under the Chenhai Group only use Weibo to post ordinary content.

If we want to promote TV series, movies, and variety shows, we will use Chenhai short videos.

The internet community is screaming that the wolf is coming.

Kuaishou, which Tencent recently invested in, has been badly hurt.

However, Douyin, launched by Toutiao, was completely crushed in front of Chen Hai.

There's a general perception that using Douyin (TikTok) is just a small-scale, self-indulgent activity.

Whether it's comparing algorithms, copyrights, or content, Douyin and Kuaishou can't compete.

Now, with Chenhai sponsoring the Spring Festival Gala, it's almost as if it's an official entity.

【here we go! 】

Wow, the opening act features the four leading actresses of the 1985 generation plus Jing Tian.

[As expected of the Spring Festival Gala co-directed by Yang Ge, the production quality is truly exceptional.]

This song is great!

[And G.E.M.'s songs, those must have been written by Yang Ge.]

【.】

In the CCTV Spring Festival Gala live broadcast room of Chenhai Short Video, countless bullet comments took flight.

One after another, songs with a strong star quality, or those that are full of artistry and hilarious humor, have emerged.

A few hours later, the Spring Festival Gala will be coming to an end.

Getting closer and closer to zero.

Finally, Zhang Yang made his appearance.

This time, his performance included martial arts, magic, art, and singing.

What do you mean?
Many mirrors appeared on the stage.

Zhang Yang, dressed in an elaborately designed ancient costume, wielded a sword and began to dance.

He circulated his internal energy, influencing the magnetic field, making himself feel as if he were in a dream.

He can move freely through mirrors, similar to the magic mirror ice crystal in "Naruto".

He truly did it, but to outsiders it was just a smokescreen.

Under the dazzling lights, his sword dance was spirited and rhythmic, sharp and piercing.

He's handsome and dashing, top-notch in every way.

The music was an accompaniment he had personally prepared in advance.

Its momentum is magnificent, like thunder resounding in the heart, like drums beating in the blood.

Before long, red appeared, like a torrent.

If faith had a color, it would be red.

Sword energy also appeared, looking like special effects, leaving people speechless.

This is in sync with Zhang Yang's ability to move through mirrors and his seemingly spontaneous actions on any part of the stage.

This surprised countless people.

This stage is the same as Zhang Yang's performance on the Spring Festival Gala three years ago.

Zhang Yang showcases his top-notch magic and martial arts skills once again.
