Huayu: From charlatan to great entertainer

Chapter 300: Beautiful Master Student or Oriental Medusa

Less than two minutes after Xiao Liu sent the blog, Yang Siwei sent a pop-up video.

It is now 9 o'clock in the evening in Peking, and the background of Yang Siwei in the video is the lights of thousands of homes.

This is her newly renovated house on the South Second Ring Road in Beijing, located in Fuzhuo Garden, about 300 meters south of Xuanwumen subway station.

"What's the matter? Did you miss me?"

Xiao Liu smiled at Wei Pang...

No, now he is a small fat agent, and he may continue to develop into a medium fat, big fat, or huge fat.

Yang Siwei wondered why she could still laugh. Was she too angry about some news?

"I miss you. The blog post you just wrote is very good. I will post more in the future!"

Yang Siwei didn't waste any time and turned to business: "There are a few things. Although I roughly know your answers, I still need to report them."

"Ok?"

"There are several domestic entertainment companies that want to cooperate with us. They want you to sign a contract or become a shareholder in our studio."

"Don't rush to refuse. I feel like some of the terms are negotiable. At least you should listen to them first."

Seeing Liu Yifei nodding expressionlessly on the other side of the video, Yang Siwei communicated point by point on the document in his hand.

"Huayi is offering you a signing fee of 2000 million and a 3% equity quota in the company."

"We guarantee at least one TV series broadcast on satellite channels and at least one co-production every year. The terms for portrait rights and artist revenue are quite generous. I won't go into detail."

She took out another copy from her hand and said, "And Chengtian."

"Chengtian? Which Chengtian?"

"Chengtian International Entertainment is the company Wang Jinhua and her team switched to."

"Oh, by the way, your classmate Jiang Yiyan, who was about to disappear, is now having a hot affair with their boss."

Concubine Liu Yi did not comment and listened to her continue.

"5000 million signing bonus, the female lead role in 'Red Cliff,' and at least one movie with a budget over million and two TV series that will be broadcast on satellite channels every year."

"At the same time, if you are willing, you can help develop the Japanese benzene market, such as the cooperation with Sony Music."

Xiao Liu has been reading about the Holocaust in recent months and is sensitive to the topic of devils: "Are they Japanese-owned?"

“It’s not Japanese capital, but the boss has a Japanese background.”

"Just reject them all."

Liu Yifei turned her head as if to respond to something. Yang Siwei guessed that the filming crew had arrived, so he said goodbye and hung up.

Among the many powerful players in the domestic entertainment industry, at least in the eyes of Liu Yifei, who knows Lu Kuan inside and out, none of them can beat him.

If there really is a suitable opportunity and resources, she would not object to maintaining limited cooperation, so that the washing machine can taste the saltiness of the stew.

It’s just that she is the person who knows Boss Lu best in this world.

From the inside out, from the surface to the inside, there is no one else like him in the world.

Even Zhuang Xu couldn't reach Xiao Liu's level of understanding of him.

The more he understood, the more he realized that companies like Huayi and Chengtian were no match for him under normal circumstances, unless they had some hidden means and assistance.

Xiao Liu locked the door, changed her clothes, and simply tied her hair with a hairband. Today's style was a casual home style.

There are already many Hollywood celebrity bloggers on Mytube, but she still sticks to this friendly girl-next-door route, which can contrast with her on-screen character.

When Liu Yifei walked out of the room, the living room of more than 60 square meters had been decorated.

Traditional red tablecloths, Chinese tableware, and Chinese landscape paintings on the walls create a strong oriental cultural atmosphere.

Emile is directing the arrangement of the camera positions.

A high-quality camera is used to shoot the main screen. It is placed in the center of the living room and records the entire cooking process from a fixed angle.
Prepare a small handheld camera to shoot close-up shots, such as details of ingredients, cooking methods, etc.

In terms of lighting, soft warm light is used to provide uniform lighting for the main scene, and a bright white chandelier is set above the kitchen operation area to ensure that the cooking process is clearly visible.

"Oh, Crystal, long time no see!"

Liu Yifei smiled and shook hands with the furry Emil. Before the Spring Festival in 2002, he went to Sundance with Lu Kuan to participate in the non-competitive unit of "Whiplash". That was the first time they met.

"I brought you a few DVDs of Paranormal Activity and other movies. I've done my best to keep you in good stead."

Xiao Liu happily accepted the gift. She had a hobby of watching horror movies. The more she watched, the scarier she became, and the scarier she became, the more she watched.

"Thank you very much. Is there anything I need to prepare?"

Emil looked around, everyone was doing their job, and then he smiled and said, "Don't put too much chili later. I want to have a good meal after the video!"

"And I!"

Chen Shijun walked into the room with a smile, greeted Liu Xiaoli and the others, and walked over: "Lan Yue, my ancestral home is in Shanghai. Are there any dishes I'm interested in?"

“Most of the dishes I make now are Huaiyang dishes, but I can adjust them according to your taste.”

As for the video, it is shot to be watched, and today I also found some extras of different ethnicities in the community.

While the photography and lighting were still being prepared, Xiao Liu simply pulled Chen Shijun to the garden to talk about Mytube.

The recent panel discussions chaired by Xi Kaiyuan have become increasingly in-depth.

"Do you really want to sell Mytube?"

"This is Lu's arrangement, but as the copyright library grows, our advertising revenue is almost unsustainable."

Mytube has been burning money since its establishment. The cash flow generated by the "Paranormal Activity" and "Insidious" series, as well as the "Alien" derivatives in the American account has been continuously supplied with blood.

Liu Yifei asked, "I noticed you're hyping up Twilight recently? There are a lot of new bloggers popping up on the website."

Xiao Liu is no stranger to this kind of marketing. Starting from "Whiplash", almost every movie produced by Lu Kuan has traces of online promotion.

For example, there was the tear-jerking challenge held by "Shoplifters", the cultural activities themed on "Classic of Mountains and Seas" held by "Foreign Land", and the lucky draw inviting fans to watch the premiere in Cannes.

In her opinion, it’s all the same event marketing approach.

"You watch Twilight too?"

"This is a traffic-generating activity arranged by Mr. Lu. We need to make the data look better before selling ourselves."

Chen Shijun just thought that she had a close relationship with the boss, and there was not much guard in his words. The last time they were in Los Angeles, he also discussed things in front of her.

Moreover, as time goes by, Mytube has decided to wait for a good price to sell, which has become an industry consensus and there is no need to hide it.

Liu Yifei nodded: "Speaking of data, I have a paper to submit soon. If you have any non-sensitive data, please provide me with some."

"That's absolutely fine. I won't refuse, even if Mr. Lu blames me."

"After all, I haven't had authentic Chinese food for a long time! I hope those extras today can leave some."

Before Liu Yifei could answer, Chen Shijun's phone suddenly rang.

He glanced at the number, gestured to Xiao Liu to answer the phone, and then answered it excitedly: "Jimmy?"

"Really? You agreed! That's great!"

"I'm telling you, my genius boss told us that blogs are doomed to be eliminated. Let's get out of that company that has one foot in the grave!"

This was Chen Shijun executing Boss Lu's plan to recruit more technical talent before selling the company to prepare for the next step.

Chen Shijun walked away with the phone, and Liu Yifei looked at his back thoughtfully.

Are blogs destined to become obsolete?
In the past, Xiao Liu would not be too interested in these things, unless he followed Lu Kuan to see how he participated in these business activities.

Before coming to Booth School of Business, even if Xiao Liu was interested, he would not have any additional doubts about what Chen Shijun inadvertently revealed.

It is precisely because she has followed Xi Kaiyuan in researching and analyzing Mytube from its inception to the present that she has gained a deeper understanding of the related Internet industry.

For example, Xi Kaiyuan guided the class with the following questions:
What will happen to Mytube after it is sold?
Why are the entrepreneurs in this video track so eager to sell off their assets?

These are the questions that Liu Yifei has analyzed and carefully considered in class and group discussions.

Therefore, after accidentally hearing Chen Shijun's words that blogs are destined to be eliminated, she fell into deep thought.

Are blogs going to be eliminated?

What about his blog in China? I haven’t seen him do anything about it.

Maybe there is, but I just don’t know it yet.

Emil's call from inside the room interrupted her brainstorming: "Crystal, get ready for the shoot, go put on some simple makeup!"

"okay."

Xiao Liu put his worries aside for the time being, but he still felt that the clouds were about to clear and the moon would appear.

This high-quality food-themed video will begin soon.

Emil has had extensive practical experience in filming since his time at USC. After being tempered by "Paranormal Activity" in the past two years, he has become more adept at common lens techniques and picture arrangement.

In fact, there are certain similarities between the filming of such food videos and horror films.

For example, in terms of atmosphere creation, camera use and sound effects coordination, including suspense setting and rhythm control, these are all things that excellent horror film directors are good at.

The three-hour shoot ended successfully, but the embarrassing thing was that there wasn’t enough food at the end.

The extras of various ethnic groups brought by Emil refused to leave work and attacked the delicious food that they had just been unable to enjoy in front of the camera.

Chen Shijun and Emil no longer cared about being reserved and went out to grab it themselves.

It was as if the Boxer Protocol of a century ago were recreating itself, as a group of foreign powers of different skin colors once again divided up the villa restaurant in Hyde Park, Chicago.

Chinese cuisine.

But this time, they became slaves under Xiao Liu's knife.

Especially Emil and Steve Chen.

Concubine Liu Yi had no choice but to give them a few pieces of toast left over from breakfast, and the two of them dipped up all the soup on their plates.

Liu Xiaoli was dumbfounded: "Oh my god, it really looks like the Eight-Nation Alliance!"

Xiao Liu laughed so hard that he finally persuaded these inexperienced foreigners to leave.

In the afternoon, Concubine Liu Yi sat in front of the window in the study.

Through the window lattice, the fallen leaves on the ground in Hyde Park in autumn look like an overturned palette.

Orange, crimson, and ochre-brown colors interweave and collide to create an impressionist painting with delicate brushstrokes, which quietly unfolds with the passage of time.

Liu Yifei was a little crazy, and several key words about blogging kept circling in her mind.

In fact, the words she accidentally heard from Chen Shijun that morning were like a stone thrown into her heart, causing ripples.

The young girl, who had never started a business before, was confused. She seemed to have a thousand ideas, but when she looked carefully, she couldn't find the key thread.

She turned on her computer and began browsing the most popular Internet products in North America one by one.

Myspace is currently one of the largest youth communities in the world;

Mytube, a dark horse video website that I personally participated in and witnessed;

Flickr, a photo website acquired by Yahoo in March 2005;

There is also Reddit, the most popular SNS platform forum in North America;

It has not yet left the campus, and its customers are limited to student groups in the United States and Canada and Facebook of some companies.

Of course, there is also the blogger who, as Chen Shijun said, has been sentenced to death by Lu Kuan in the future.

The little girl seemed to suddenly remember something and took out a folded note from her bag.

Above is the contact information of IT guy Dorsey, as well as the conversation we had in the cafeteria at the University of Chicago yesterday.

She began to think about the problem according to Xi Kaiyuan's leadership courses and thinking patterns. Does Twttr, which was born out of a blog, have any value?
The ability to send and update blog posts directly via text messages is currently a unique selling point.

Compared to the semi-closed community Facebook, Twttr is an open platform that anyone can follow and browse.

Compared to traditional blogs, you can do impromptu writing that doesn’t require too much time and brainpower.

But it also limits bloggers who want to write long articles, which is one of the disadvantages.

But what if...

How about adding Flickr's photo function?
The amount of information in a slightly more complex picture is enough to be equivalent to a description of several hundred words.

Liu Yifei drove her thinking in her mind, trying to consider the user experience of this product from the perspective of an ordinary user.

Publishing is convenient and information is disseminated in a timely manner, as long as you have a mobile phone that can send messages.

The content is short and easy to read, and the threshold for creation is low, which is very suitable for my own life-like and down-to-earth blogging style.

Coupled with the picture function for users to operate on the computer, it can also add the functions of liking, forwarding and commenting on mainland blogs!
The master dog has the skills to control the dog!
seem...

Interesting?

In fact, Twitter first became popular in the United States, which has a lot to do with the lack of a product similar to Penguin Group in the United States.

The SMS service in the United States is very underdeveloped, and IM is also concentrated on point-to-point communication between two or a few people. In the past, people had almost no habit of group chatting, even on Facebook.

In fact, Twitter is, to some extent, a supplement to Penguin Group, so it has become popular very quickly.

Therefore, Dorsey's "information flow without identity restrictions" feature is very popular.

But times have changed. In this life, Liu Yifei borrowed the gameplay of mainland blogs and thought about adding picture functions to the products, which seemed to look more interesting.

She had strong execution ability. She took out her cell phone, checked the note, and called programmer Dorsey.

"Crystal? I hope I can hear good news."

Dorsey's voice was low, and he had completely become a minority at Odeo.

Dorsey in later generations was only known for his technical expertise. He was at a disadvantage in several internal struggles within Twitter and could hardly be considered a qualified business leader.

“How much money do you need?”

Dorsey was silent for a few seconds, then his temper visibly rose: "300 million... No! 200 million dollars!"

“But this is just the initial funding!”

"We need to purchase the most basic three to five servers, Cisco switches and other office equipment."

"For software, you need at least a set of JetBrains IntelliJ IDEA, and later you may have other integrated development environments."

"There are also version control programs, database management tools, and test servers..."

Concubine Liu Yi couldn't help but interrupt him: "Stop!"

"Make a list of what you said and send it to my email. I will ask a professional to verify it."

"Also, $200 million is fine, and I want a 95% stake. Is that acceptable to you?"

Dorsey's excitement and tone came to an abrupt end, as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over his head in the middle of winter.

The angel investor on the other end of the phone warned him not to falsify information.

The other sentence directly pushed himself into the abyss of illegal IT work, and Dorsey was stunned when he heard it.

Angel investor?
You are a devil investor!

"No! Crystal! This is an unreasonable proportion!"

"Do you know Facebook? Zuckerberg, the main technical person, holds 65% of the shares! The other two entrepreneurs, Saverin, hold 30%, and Moskovitz holds 5%!"

Liu Yifei didn't respond: "Listen to me, don't use Facebook as an example. Your Twitter is not a technology-driven website and is also very simple to build."

"If you want an example, I can give you the example of Mytube. Their vice president, Steve Chen, just left my house this morning."

"Mike Solomon, the genius who has become famous in your North American architect circle, only holds a 6% stake in Mytube."

Of course, you don’t even see who is negotiating. If Boss Lu is ruthless, he might not even get this amount.

However, Lu Kuan originally wanted to recruit Mike Solomon to work for him. Even the domestic Q&A videos were written by him. Such a rare talent.

Dorsey pondered for two seconds. As a programmer, his brain was not very developed in mundane matters, so he couldn't think of a good excuse to fight back.

But he was too unwilling!

"Crystal, listen to me. You can just focus on the investments. I'll write the structure and handle the management and operations."

"I think my contribution deserves more original equity. I hope you will consider it carefully. Otherwise, I would rather look for another partner."

There was silence on the other end of the line for two seconds.

"hehe."

The female voice that originally sounded pleasant and crisp to the IT guy seemed to be given more emotional factors in the two chuckles.

It seems a little deeper.

Dorsey, who was sitting on a park bench with a hot dog in his hand, suddenly felt the warmth of the sun behind him weaken a little, and unconsciously concentrated his attention waiting for the Asian actress's answer.

"To be honest, Steve Chen and I are very familiar with each other. If you ask him to find Mike Solomon and write an architecture according to your ideas, it will only take a day or two."

She still underestimated it. It took this genius architect half a day to write Mytube.

"I..." Dorsey almost got angry when he heard that!

Is this still the little girl who looks harmless?
Xiao Liu's charming female voice seemed to be more steady and powerful. She interrupted him with strong confidence: "Don't worry, I'm not threatening you."

"I'm just telling you a dangerous truth, my programmer friend."

"I fully understand your thoughts and ideas. It would be easy for me to intercept them."

"But I still want to reason with you one last time. Why do I want 95% of the shares? Do you think you have the patience to listen to me?" On the park bench, Dorsey's newly-awakened idea of ​​resistance was interrupted and suppressed by Liu Yifei's seemingly polite but unyielding words.

He stammered and was unable to speak, which was quite similar to the situation in later generations when he was kicked out of the position of chairman by his entrepreneurial partner.

"Okay...okay, I'm listening."

He looked up at the warm sunlight, wrapped himself up slightly, and felt that his body temperature was getting lower and lower.

"In my plan, you only need to be responsible for technology."

"I will find professionals to run the website. I already have ideas for marketing, and I will convince Leonardo and others who are about to join the team to participate in attracting traffic."

"Also, I have a very good personal relationship with Chen Shijun, Huang Anna and others from Mytube. They also need a top Asian blogger like me, so we can exchange resources."

"I can say that you, Dorsey, only need to spend one or two days to give me a complete framework so that I can realize my entrepreneurial dream and not have to worry about the mundane tasks that you don't seem to be very good at."

"Your skills are not irreplaceable, but my funds, resources, and especially my interest, are something you can only find by chance."

Liu Yifei listed the irrefutable reasons one by one, and every word hit the programmer's most vulnerable defense.

As if to give him some time to react and think, the female master's degree student from Booth School of Business paused for two seconds and gave him an ultimatum.

"5%, agreed. Come to Vancouver tomorrow to discuss the details with me. I'll have someone draft a contract."

"disagree."

The voice on the other end of the phone paused, and the image of the angel girl turning into a female devil popped into Dorsey's mind again, and he unconsciously tightened his grip on the phone.

"I disagree, then I can only wish you a pleasant afternoon."

"Agreed! Agreed! Give me the address! I agree!"

In the study of the Hyde Park Mansion, Xiao Liu, who was far less confident and strong than he looked on the phone, covered the microphone and breathed a long sigh of relief.

"Okay, see you later."

She threw the phone away and ran out of the room like crazy!

"Mommy mommy!"

Liu Xiaoli was cleaning the kitchen when she was startled by her daughter's scream. When she turned around, she was startled by the "baby swallow flying into the forest".

It's just that this baby swallow has grown a little bigger now.

"what happened?"

Liu Xiaoli, who was a little surprised by her daughter, held Xiao Liu's shoulders and looked at the excited flush on her face.

"Hey, it's okay!"

The first informal business negotiation was successful. The girl was very excited. She kissed Liu Xiaoli on the face and then ran back to the room.

She turned on the computer, forced herself to calm down, and reviewed the conversations she had just had on the phone.

Did you negotiate in the same way as Xi Kaiyuan’s guidance and teaching, and in the same way as you usually do with group discussions with elite students from different industries?
For example, opening strategies in business negotiations, asking clever questions, effective listening, suppressing speech, etc.

It seems so, but there seems to be no systematic application of these techniques.

Think back to the whole process.

The opening sets the tone directly, giving a strong proportion figure of 95%.

Citing Mytube programmer Mike Solomon's shareholding as a comparison.

They brought out industry rising stars like Steve Chen as their banner, forcibly interrupted Dorsey's questions, undermined the other party's negotiating momentum, and expressed their own views.

Frequent silence on key issues in negotiations creates psychological pressure on the other party.

Naturally, she thought of her "enlightenment teacher" far away in the East.

What would he do?
He wouldn't just throw out 95% of his bottom line right away, would he? It would definitely be lower, waiting for the stupid programmer to bargain!

The first time Dorsey rejected him, according to his habit, he should have hung up the phone immediately and arranged for Mike Solomon to intercept the deal, right?

Also, he has thrown away so many resources and advantages, it seems that he has revealed all his cards to his opponents. This is also a very unwise behavior, and he should not do this.

Liu Yifei recalled the whole process of Zhang Nara being tricked.

First, he intercepted her resources for "My Sassy Girl" and waited for her reaction.

When Zhou Jun found something wrong, he immediately played his second card and released the video of Zhu Husheng making money in a Korean variety show.

Zhou Jun was busy running around, busy planning charity and cultural activities to whitewash her. When the incident happened through the TV station and Xinlang, he dealt a fatal blow.

Linking Jang Nara with the abused Korean star Lee Eun-ju in public opinion completely wiped out her last glimmer of hope in the domestic entertainment industry.

The little girl frowned slightly, thinking intently, pondering the subtle clues in his behavior towards others, hoping that she could do better next time.

No one can learn it by teaching, and Boss Lu didn't deliberately teach her this.

But Xiao Liu, who traveled alone to North America, unconsciously began to imitate him when handling his own affairs.

This is how things are taught, and you will understand everything in one go.

It was just that because of her nature, she was far from being as ruthless and cruel as Lu Kuan, nor could she play with people's hearts like him.

No matter how well she studies, she may just be a beautiful female master's degree graduate from the Booth School of Business.

Unless one is strongly stimulated and has a major personality change, it is impossible for him to become the cunning and profit-oriented Oriental Medusa.

It's just that the gears of fate turned, and in this so-called land full of the "American Dream", Liu Yifei did encounter some opportunities that could change the world line.

The great professor Xi Kaiyuan, Uncle Ao who walks his dog and lives in Hyde Park in later generations, and Jack Dorsey, the founder of Twitter who is in his struggling stage.

It’s just like in certain eras, young men and women in China were scrambling to make their way to Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen.

It is indeed easy to encounter people or things that change your destiny in such a place, the only difference is the probability.

After taking more than two months off from school, the next day, Liu Xiaoli and her daughter rushed to the set of "Alien Land 2" in Vancouver accompanied by their female bodyguard Mia.

The filming period of "Alien Land 2" is very short. In this sequel, the roles of the male and female protagonists have been slightly adjusted, but Leonardo is definitely still the main force carrying the box office.

The first day was mainly about preparations before filming, with the male and female protagonists doing a simple script reading and adjusting their physical conditions.

Leonardo couldn't join the crew until the next day, so Xiao Liu went through the martial arts routines in this work with Yuan Heping's team.

"Fei Yi, your physical fitness has improved again. Your routines are even more entertaining to watch."

Yuen Woo-ping's senior disciple, Ho Kwun-leung, who had just been acting with her, smiled and shook his wrist, saying, "It's not just for show, Master. My strength has improved a lot."

"Hehe, I've been practicing boxing recently and going to the gym a lot." Xiao Liu smiled a little embarrassedly.

"Foreign Language 2" has higher requirements on her weight and body shape. There will be many extremely tight shapes, which are required to reflect the heroine's sense of strength and body curves.

During the month in Hyde Park, she started anaerobic strength training with Mia, which was quite effective.

Yuan Heping looked at the little girl with a smile. He had been optimistic about Liu Yifei since the 2002 "Foreign Land".

She has the focus and professionalism of old-school Hong Kong actors like Fang Long, and is not at all spoiled.

"Fei Yi, there's an audition for the female lead in a film called 'Huo Yuanjia' next year. Are you interested? I'll be playing a blind girl opposite Jet Li."

This character is called Yueci, who is innocent and kind with a simple smile. She was played by Sun Li in later generations.

Yuan Heping was the action director of "Huo Yuanjia". He was very optimistic about Liu Yifei and felt that for such a young actress, it would be a good opportunity to act with Jet Li.

"Thank you, Director Yuan. I have plans for my next movie."

"Oh? Can you tell me?"

Xiao Liu laughed and said, "It's a historical film, and Lu Kuan is the director."

"Oh! That's good, that's a good opportunity." Yuan Heping smiled helplessly. He should have thought of it earlier and was worrying about nothing.

Yuan Heping can only stay in the crew of "Alien Land 2" for one week this time. He also has to rush back to China to deal with Xiao Gangpao's "Night Banquet".

The first day of adaptation rehearsals ended quickly.

In the evening, in the hotel room, Liu Yifei prepared to talk to her old mother about Twitter.

She sat in front of the computer and wrote a plan: "Mom, how much money do we have now?"

"what?"

Liu Xiaoli was washing apples for her daughter by the sink. She looked over and asked, "What do you mean?"

"I'm in trouble!"

"what?"

The old mother was frightened and came out of the bathroom suspiciously: "Hurry up and tell me!"

She scanned her daughter from head to toe. What could have happened to her daughter since she was watching her every day?

"Great! Great! I want to start a company and I need your help!"

Liu Xiaoli was not too surprised. After all, she came to study at Booth School of Business, so it was normal to have some ideas. What's more, she already ran a studio.

"Listen to me, Mom. I want to open a company in the United States, and I want to register it using your identity."

Xiao Liu transferred his nationality back to China as early as 2002, but Liu Xiaoli's status as a green card holder has many conveniences.

Seeing that her daughter's action was not a small matter, Liu Xiaoli patiently listened to her entrepreneurial ideas.

Confused.

What is my daughter talking about? Information flow, stranger social networking, mobile blog...

"Isn't that a bit risky, Sissi?"

Liu Xiaoli instinctively wanted to persuade her: "Besides, you are so busy with work, do you have time to take care of that mess?"

"That road..."

Xiao Liu blurted out, not wanting to mention the name in front of his mother: "Isn't Wenjie also operating on such a large scale?"

"Professionals should do their professional work. I just provide the initial idea. I don't know how to do it in practice!"

Liu Xiaoli was a little hesitant, but when she thought about the news from the Hurun Rich List in China, it was really astonishing that Xiaolu had a net worth of almost 100 billion.

Besides, it didn't seem to stop him from making movies.

"Mom, let me tell you, this idea was inspired by blogs and Mytube. I think it's feasible."

"Hurry up and tell me how much money you have, I need to make some plans!"

"The salary for 'Alien Land 2' was paid 20% in advance, which is about $80. In addition, your previous endorsement income in China is all in the studio's account. I'll have to check the details."

"How much do you need?"

Liu Yifei pursed her lips and said, "It only takes about 200 million US dollars now, and we'll see later."

She was a little unsure. Judging from the way Mytube was burning money, its only chance of success would be selling itself to venture capital.

But the little girl is now in the excitement of thinking that she is "doing something big" and just wants to set this business up as soon as possible.

Liu Xiaoli was shocked by the number Xiao Liu revealed, but she could not resist her daughter's persistence and finally agreed.

To be honest, she had already lost control of her daughter in the past two years.

Because of her greater experience and knowledge, Concubine Liu Yi in this life has already become more mature and independent than her peers. It is too late for her to stop it now.

If time could be reversed, perhaps the only way would be to go back to that day in 2001 and use a broom to sweep out the door of a certain little fairy whom I had just met.

It was late at night, and Xiao Liu was working late into the night in his hotel room, coming up with marketing ideas for this initial Internet product.

Without him, she didn't understand anything else.

She doesn't understand the law, and she doesn't understand website UI.

She can imitate Mytube and Wenjie in running the company. As a boss, her only advantage is that she has witnessed the rise of blogs and Mytube.

What about celebrity traffic generation, topic marketing...

Yup!

Liu Yifei's thoughts were suddenly struck, and she quickly typed the four words "Twilight" on the computer.

This is the most popular book in North America recently, and its target audience is young girls like me. Even Mytube is relying on the topic of "Twilight" to increase its user numbers to sell itself.

There's no reason for Twitter not to jump on the bandwagon.

After much thought, she decided to focus on "Twilight". After all, she was a big blogger on Mytube and could contact the author to promote each other.

He packaged himself as a die-hard fan of "Twilight" and let the author guide the topic and interaction on Twitter.

The most difficult thing is celebrity resources. At best, I am just a small-time celebrity in North America, and the only big star I know is Leonardo DiCaprio.

It is not certain whether he is willing to help himself. The Hollywood stars look easy-going and are very businesslike when talking about interests.

It would be very convenient if a washing machine was used, and a wingman named Harvey would be enough for him to command.

Concubine Liu Yi bit her fingers and pondered deeply, and the desk light in the room was not turned off until very late.
-
At 11 p.m. Vancouver time in Canada, Xiao Liu, who had been brainstorming all day, fell into a deep sleep.

On the other side of the earth, Boss Lu had just gotten off the car and was heading to a luncheon invited by Han Shanping.

I just had dinner with Lao Han and Dong Shuangqiang last night to celebrate the success of Travel Channel's "The Voice of China" program as expected. The advertising sponsorship was also successfully tendered today.

Among them, Uni-President Group, which just invested 7 million yuan in Wandashan in July this year, successfully won the bid.

In the same year, they also invested US$3000 million to acquire a 5% stake in Huiyuan Holdings, which was the time for them to make a big move.

The naming rights of "The Voice of China" were sold for a total price of RMB 8000 million. Together with the advertisements in the pre- and post-time slots, the station completed its advertising revenue plan set for this year ahead of schedule.

Old Han, who was drunk, asked me to come for lunch at noon, and he was mysterious in his words and didn't tell me the reason.

Boss Lu's doubts did not last long. The moment he pushed open the door of the VIP room of the Capital Club, he understood what Lao Han meant.

"Teacher Lu!"

The young director felt a little bit jealous when he heard this title, as if he was a dozen years older than he actually was.

"Golden Rose" is dressed much more low-key today, wearing a light-colored short-sleeved cardigan sweater and a light blue cloth skirt with fish-scale pattern, which exudes the gentleness and freshness of a girl next door.

"Hello, Jingtian."

Lu Zheng at the table also stood up with a smile. After going through a lot of hardships, he finally brought out the big Buddha.

Since the Bazaar Charity Night, Lu Kuan has repeatedly declined invitations. It is really not appropriate to bother him too much, so he can only arrange an event through the head of China Film.

It's just that I owe Mr. Han another favor.

"I'm sorry, there was a car accident on the road and I'm late."

Han Shanping smiled and said, "You are serving the country now. You are very busy, so we dare not rush you!"

In early December, the second round of proposals for the opening and closing ceremonies of the Beijing Olympics will be released. If Wenjie is successfully shortlisted, Boss Lu will have to make proper preparations.

The Wenjie team, which has been able to complete all the materials this time, is determined to win and will put all their strength into participating in this top art event.

Lu Zheng stood up politely and invited him to take the main seat.

"Hey, this rule is wrong, Mr. Han is here!"

Han Shanping waved his hand while sipping his tea: "I am just accompanying the guests today. They invited you, so please take a seat."

"If I wasn't afraid that you would have an opinion, I would have left home right now. Your sister-in-law just scolded me."

Lu Zheng didn't let this go on and hurriedly refilled Old Han's water. "Boss Han, what you said is true. It's so hard for you to come out for a meal. We can't give up halfway!"

He winked at Jing Tian, ​​who was looking at Lu Kuan with a smile on her face, and thought to himself, why does this girl smile so foolishly when she sees people!

"Tiantian, can you please ask Mr. Lu to sit down?"

Jing Tian stood behind Boss Lu, watching his free and easy and calm demeanor, and felt an indescribable feeling.

It's not entirely a little girl's secret love or affection.

She just felt that he was quite different from the so-called elites and celebrities she had met, which made her particularly curious.

"Tiantian?"

Jing Tian was brought back to her senses by Lu Zheng. She was no longer shy and confidently pulled out a chair for Lu Kuan.

Boss Lu held out his hand and pressed it, indicating that he would do it himself: "I'm not so ungentlemanly, am I?"

"Haha, Director Lu is polite."

Lu Zheng came to the rescue very skillfully, taking care of everyone in the room between the lines, and then went out to order the dishes to be served.

After three rounds of drinks at the luncheon, Lu Zheng saw that Han Shanping had made up his mind and acted as if it was none of his business, so it was obvious that he was the only one who had to speak up.

Old Han knows Boss Lu better than anyone else. He is not the kind of person who listens to advice.

If you want to ask someone to do something for you, Lu Zheng, just bring out the real stuff. He will definitely not object to the exchange of interests.

But there are not many resources that can interest him now.

Unless this beautiful girl in front of me is involved, but considering her background, it is obviously impossible.

"Director Lu, I'll bring Tiantian to toast you a glass of wine. You're welcome, okay?"

Lu Zheng was very humble. When the two of them clinked glasses, he drank it all in one gulp.

Boss Lu said with a smile, "Mr. Lu, our last names sound the same, so don't be so formal. Just speak frankly."

Lu Zheng calmly wiped his hands with a wet wipe. He had been preparing for this since the Harper's Bazaar dinner, and now he finally expressed his request in the expectant eyes of Jing Tian beside him.

"Director Lu, we would like you to teach Tiantian how to perform."
