Huayu has been doing one good deed a day since 2001

Chapter 94: Have the lines from big names become reality?
The wrap party for You Who Came From the Stars was a great success. IDG’s Lao Xiong also attended with his family and met many celebrity actors.

Li Wenyu flew to Beijing with Pang Bing and Li Jiaxin early in the morning on December 12th. With Weibo's financing in sight, he also needed to go back to boost morale.

We have been making promises for several months.

The most important thing for the security department is to give them some real motivation. IDG asked for 3000% of 10 million dollars, and he negotiated for 4000 million, so the only thing left was bargaining.

Security Department Manager Lao Xu will receive a 1% option pool reward, which will start at $300 million.

This is equivalent to being a multi-millionaire in 2002, and he might become a billionaire one day.

This cake is big and round.

Putting aside his ambitions, Li Wenyu also plans to update the Time Weibo to a new version. Previously, only celebrities attracted fans to the Weibo.

There is also a hot news section.

He plans to create a hot search list in this version upgrade.

In addition to hot news, sub-channels such as society, finance, reading, automobiles, sports, education, campus, etc. should be opened.

This is of the same nature as the Penguin Avatar Portal.

The business was busy until the afternoon, and the entire Zhongguancun Weibo team was working so hard that they wanted to stay and work 996.

This was not yet an era when class barriers were strong.

There are still many people who believe that the rich will drive the rich later. Li Wenyu has also mentioned the option pool several times, including the 1% for the security department manager.

The remaining 1% to 2% would still be a considerable sum, even if all technical experts in the Security Department shared it equally.

After all, it is they who have protected the platform from repeated hacker attacks from the outside world, ensuring that the platform is not hacked or paralyzed, etc.

Li Wenyu got off work around 6 o'clock. As soon as he walked out of the building, he saw Zhang Bozhi, wearing a hat, sunglasses, and a mask, running out of a car in the distance. In public...

Li Wenyu held Azhi in silence, "You want to make a big news?"

The premiere of Hero is scheduled to be held in the sub-hall of the Great Hall on December 12, followed by a marathon roadshow with one day of running and one day of rest.

The Asian beauty pageant will also end before the 14th.

Now it is Azhi who is aiming for 3000 million votes outside the wall and firmly holds the top spot in the beauty ranking.

Small sunglasses and masks can't block too many things.

Ah Zhi said excitedly, "Handsome boy, if I couldn't beat you, I would have dragged you to the small dark room. How long has it been since you've surpassed 30 billion in assets?"

"My godfather and godmother's China Star is only worth 8 million."

"Ayu, just don't move. I'll do it myself?"

Whether it's a sunk cost or brainwashing by the Xiang family, or perhaps it's just that talent is very stimulating!!
In the past, Li Wenyu's talent in scripts, movies, and writing and publishing best-selling books was enough to charm many young fans.

Now it has transformed into a big capital road, that’s 3 billion!
How exciting is this 3 billion Hong Kong dollars or RMB?

Li Wenyu was neither anxious nor impatient. He carried Azhi and sent her back to the nanny car.

The other person laughed softly, "The Lion Roars in the East will be released on November 11rd, and it has already accumulated 23 million yuan in box office in mainland China."

"Before the release of Hero, it should be able to reach over 3500 million. I'm getting along pretty well with Dong Li from your time. Brother Yu, why don't you reward me with tens of billions?"

Li Wenyu walked Zhang Bozhi into the nanny car and said with a smile, "I'll wait for you to have the celebration banquet and then go to congratulate you."

After saying this, he got into his car and drove away.

Zhang Bozhi is much more popular than him now, and he doesn't want to be involved in this kind of gossip and scandal.

After returning to a courtyard house, I saw Pang Bing, Li Jiaxin, and Gao Yuanyuan preparing hot pot dishes in the courtyard.

Li Wenyu felt a little dizzy.

Pang Bing knew what Sister Xin was like, and they had tried their best not to see each other before.

How come they were chatting and laughing like good sisters and eating hotpot together?
After a few seconds of hesitation, he smiled and said, "It's good that you're all here. Tsingtao Beer has donated another 10 million to Weibo, hoping to increase its advertising efforts."

"If you want to become as popular as Youngor, the normal advertising space has been arranged."

"Since we're having hot pot, why don't you all show off how to pair beer with hot pot."

In order to improve user experience, Shiguang Weibo has opened advertising space, but the number is very small.

Just let Pang Bing and the other two post some updates, show off the beer hotpot and let fans promote it. It’s not just about continuing to collect money and do the work.

We should also let IDG's Xiong Xiaoge see that although there are limited advertising spaces on Weibo, you can make money by advertising and make a company's products popular, and its promotional power is very strong.

This is similar to using soft articles to promote products.

The total number of registered users on Weibo in mainland China is now heading towards the 900 million mark, with Pang Bing having over 500 million fans and Li Jiaxin over million.

Gao Yuanyuan already has more than 300 million.

The main reason is that Da Meiyu was awarded the title of the most beautiful woman in mainland China in 2002, which is really a big deal.

Fat Bing nodded hurriedly. "Then I'll go get some beer and a camera. It would be even better if it snowed during this time..."

Gao Yuanyuan stood up and followed her.

Ah Xin asked suspiciously, "They're promoting advertising, making some artificial snow? Ah Yu, your elephant is so outrageous, isn't it easy to take such beautiful pictures?"

Artificial snowmaking is not a big deal.

Li Wenyu still shook his head. "It's just an advertisement. There's no snow anywhere else in the capital, so why is it snowing in one yard?"

"Let's wait for the snow or just enjoy the natural scenery. You can make an appointment next time."

Seeing that Fat Bing and Gao Yuanyuan had both entered the house, he whispered, "Why are you guys together? Aren't you afraid of a fight?"

Li Jiaxin rolled her eyes at him and didn't say anything.

This topic is also a little magical. In addition to his talent and the money he makes in the ordinary film and television industry, Time Weibo has achieved such financing and valuation.

How long has it been?

What will happen in two years?
She busied herself again with clearing the dishes, trying to make them look better for photos, then asked curiously, "Ah Yu, stop fooling me and answer my question seriously."

"Once Weibo goes public, will it be able to reach 10 billion yuan? How long will it take?"

Li Wenyu nodded. "Breaking through HK$2003 billion won't be difficult. We're almost entering 05, and the market capitalization should be achieved in ."

This is the path of the penguin's original trajectory.

However, the dimension of Time Weibo should be smoother than that of Penguin.

The version outside the Great Firewall attracts a large number of users from Taiwan, Korea, Malaysia, Thailand, Europe and the United States. The language barrier is a problem, but the value lies in the fact that users can stay and remain active.

The big penguin wants the Penguin to invade Korea, Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand and Europe and America?
It’s too difficult, let’s not talk about the future rival MSN for now.

South Korea's local instant messaging software will not lose the market to Penguin.

To put it bluntly, Penguin is following the trend of ICQ outside, and there are competitors everywhere outside of China.

Time Weibo is the world's first innovative social platform. It gained the greatest fame right after its launch by leveraging the celebrity effect.

Just being a user of the walled city version can make the market value grow faster than Penguin originally did.

Li Jiaxin took a deep breath. "Now that you've become so rich, how are you going to spend all that money? Fat Bing called me today and asked me if I could still handle it and if I felt a lot of pressure."

"I said you were non-human, and she called Yuanyuan to come for dinner again."

If it were anyone else, she would definitely think he was bragging.

Old Li is different.

Not only did they already know each other well, their Weibo posts were already showing. Ah Xin put down her plate and walked over, snatching a cigarette case and lighter from Lao Li's pocket. With a look of delighted delight, she helped him light the cigarettes. "Tell me more, I'm just curious."

While they were talking, Pang Bing and Gao Yuanyuan also came out with beer and cameras. When they saw this scene, they also became curious.

Fat Bing placed a case of beer on the table and said with a smile, "What are you guys talking about? Sister Xin, you're in a funny mood."

Li Wenyu was speechless. "She was just curious about how I would spend the financing."

Fat Bing hurriedly opened the beer, poured it, and waited to drink while listening, staring at him with curiosity.

At the current exchange rate, 8000 million US dollars is equivalent to 6.6 million RMB, which is not a small amount of money.

Li Wenyu took the beer and took a sip.

He smiled and said, "It will definitely help Weibo maintain its dominance on both the internal and external platforms, defeat the plagiarizing competitors emerging from Europe and America, and seize market share. At least the Asian market needs to be stabilized."

"Then I can free up the money I earn from other channels to do this."

"I'll buy land and build a building in Beijing, then recruit a team to create a new website. I'll aim to have it up and running in early 03, just like Weibo, and raise tens of millions of dollars by the end of that year."

"By then, the new platform and Weibo will complement each other, becoming a powerful alliance."

Gao Yuanyuan, who was originally drinking beer and listening to the story, suddenly turned around and sprayed all over the floor. She then hurriedly explained, "Director Li, Boss, don't blame me for my poor concentration."

"I suddenly feel like I've heard your words somewhere before!"

"Yes, I remember now. The big star played by Rosamund Kwan, the mentally ill man played by Zhang Hanyu, and the one who sold the website to scam people out of money?"

That line includes another prophecy.

He was deified 10 or 20 years later. Of course, the lines were very different from what Li Wenyu said, but the nature was a little similar.

Da Meiyu was suddenly a little shocked. Did the lines of the big names become reality?
Li Wenyu was speechless. "The lines in the movie I filmed are still different from theirs."

He was talking about the launch of the new Shiguang Campus or Shiguang Renren in 03 in addition to Shiguang Weibo.

If we don’t do it now, Facebook will be launched in the United States in 03.

Rather than letting the whole world think that China's campus network copied Facebook, it would be better to have another global innovation.

By the 20s, Xiaonei.com and Renren.com were antiques in the memories of countless people, things that could not keep up with the times and were eliminated.

In fact, when Renren first went public, its market capitalization reached US$71 billion. Why did it decline? In its early days, it focused on social networking among acquaintances and required real-name registration on campus.

When it went public in 2011, WeChat had already been launched for almost a year.

WeChat chat is available on mobile devices, but can Renren compete with WeChat in terms of social networking among acquaintances? At least after Renren went public, it failed to seize the opportunity in time.

Failed to attack the mobile terminal in time.

Coupled with the lack of change and innovation, it is gradually being eliminated by the times.

By the 20s, Facebook will have a market value of 1.5 trillion US dollars, becoming a super giant. This is because it seized the opportunity and acquired WhatsApp, which is similar to the overseas version of WeChat.

And Facebook has also launched an e-commerce platform similar to Taobao.

He started to establish a Chinese version of Xiaonei or Renren, and just developed financing and operated step by step.

As for Facebook, this includes its earliest competitor, MySpace, which was founded in July 03, as well as other social platforms for people who are familiar with each other.

Lao Li just wants to get there first!
Take up a spot.

In the early days, he didn't intend to push it too hard because he had too many rules, gameplay frameworks, etc. that he could copy in his mind.

After a few simple words, he asked the three girls to pose for photos.

Only Xiong Xiaoge, who has promoted Tsingtao Beer to become increasingly popular, leading in sales, and is still negotiating the financing price with the headquarters, would be so eager to give money.

After taking the photos, Li Jiaxin quickly went inside to surf the internet. "Oh, I don't know how to climb over the wall. Can you help me climb over the wall later?"

"I'm updating both the internal and external versions to celebrate the successful completion of my year-long work."

"It's quite interesting to see three beautiful women eating hot pot at the wrap-up party."

…………

Time flies by.

12 month 12 number.

Li Wenyu was working on the post-production of "My Love from the Star" at Time Media Group when he heard a knock on the door. He put down his work and went out.

Fat Bing gave him a glib show in the hallway, exclaiming, "The Golden Globe nominations are out, and Winona posted her updates on Weibo, both inside and outside the Great Firewall."

"She was nominated for Best Actress in a Drama at the Golden Globe, and Rong Ge was nominated for Best Actor, Best Picture, and your Best Director. She won four major awards at once."

"She also posted a picture of herself celebrating by drinking Tsingtao beer. Are you going to Hollywood to attend an awards ceremony next month?"

This has a huge impact on the current Chinese entertainment industry.

These days, there are celebratory photos of Li Jiaxin and the three girls drinking Tsingtao beer and eating hotpot after the filming of their debut show was completed.

From Gong Li, Manyu to Zhou Huimin and other senior veterans in the circle, to Zhang Bozhi, Gillian Chung and the like.

There are also stars in time.

Including male stars Rong Ge, Hua Ge, etc., are promoting Qingdao on Weibo.

Tsingtao beer has been incredibly popular these days. Many supermarkets, convenience stores, etc. all over the country have sold out of Tsingtao beer, and the supply cannot meet the demand.

This is not a real advertising endorsement by the star.

They all helped voluntarily out of respect for Li Wenyu.

"My Star" hasn't even aired yet, but Tsingtao Beer is even more popular than Yageo Clothing.

Why are so many people following the trend? Winona Ryder's nomination for Best Actress in a Drama Film at the Golden Globe is the best proof.

When this script was first released, how many veterans wanted to try their luck?
Especially on the evening of the 6th, Gao Yuanyuan drank too much in the courtyard and told Pang Bing and Li Jiaxin about Robert's remarks.

The two women just made a random complaint and the whole circle exploded.

Hollywood is very greedy for the Chinese market. As long as there is a chance to attack the mainland box office on a large scale, giving a Best Actress award is a piece of cake.

This is ten times or more easier than for a Chinese male star to win the Best Actor award.

Li Wenyu is famous for his awesome scripts and writing skills, which have won him awards at the Berlin International Film Festival, the Cannes International Film Festival, and now the Hollywood Golden Globe Awards.

Three times!
In this exciting world, countless celebrities are willing to pay anything for the chance to win awards. Isn't it enough for them to pay you money? Driving yourself to the hospital is the smallest of exchanges.

Even if Li Wenyu usually doesn't accept those, it's no big deal to post a photo on Weibo to promote Tsingtao Beer.

There are not many advertising spaces on the Weibo platform. The most popular people in a large circle, regardless of the old generation or the new generation, promoted Qingdao together, and sales exploded.

Li Wenyu said with emotion, "Brother Rong and I will go to the scene to take a look. Let's go and come back quickly. If I don't go, I won't even be nominated for the Oscar for Best Director."

In order to have sufficient and strongest confidence to criticize a series of bad movies such as "The Promise", "Red Cliff", "The Crossing", "Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains", etc. when they started filming.

Then let’s criticize those money laundering crappy movies!
He still has to pay for a round-trip check.

At worst, I can finish filming "Extreme Job" next year and then make another Oscar-winning movie.

Marriage Story's nomination for Best Director is actually a bit hollow. The filming of the movie is too simple and does not reflect the director's ability, skills and techniques at all.

The original version only received one nomination for Best Director from the Hollywood Film Critics Association.

He is about to become a billionaire, but he still has to make an extra trip just to criticize a bad movie. It's too difficult.
