An award ceremony is taking place on stage.
Han Zhou didn't have the heart to watch and was still chatting with Li Shanghong.
Li Shanghong, to put it nicely, is the second-in-command of Penguin Video.
To put it bluntly, that means you are destined to be a worker.
Being the second-in-command of a new software business that had just been established at a super large company.
If he is the second-in-command of Penguin's mature business, then he can be said to be senior management.
But now, Li Shanghong can only be said to be a middle-level manager, and he just has the opportunity to leap to the senior level.
Li Shanghong now has an idea that maybe taking a gamble with Han Zhou would be an opportunity.
Han Zhou is now an experienced driver. He heard that penguins have plenty of oil, and they are so fat that they are dripping with oil. Driving requires oil.
Therefore, there needs to be a penguin person on Han Zhou's chariot.
Han Zhou even had the idea of ​​helping Li Shanghong take a further step.
However, the first step proposed by Han Zhou was too risky.
Li Shanghong was dumbfounded after hearing this.
“What…what?!!”
Han Zhou suggested that Li Shanghong, in the name of experimental business, let Penguin Chat launch a large-scale pop-up window.
The content of the pop-up window is the new work "Proud Boy" by Xinyu Sanzi.
Li Shanghong was completely dumbfounded.
Penguin chat, this is the key to penguin's survival and becoming the giant it is today.
Large-scale pop-ups to promote an idol who hasn’t even debuted yet? That’s a big gamble!
"This...isn't it too fast?"
“Should we do it again in other low-cost channels?”
Han Zhou said calmly: "Let me calculate for you. If we promote it through other channels, the cost of letting one netizen see the ad is six yuan."
"If one million people see it, the price is six million."
"If 10 million people see it, the price will be 60 million."
"And this is just to see that if you want to attract one person to learn enough to like the information and go find the new entertainment three children, the cost price is thirty yuan."
“If it’s one million people, that’s an investment of 30 million.”
After Han Zhou finished the calculation, he continued, "If you are applying in the name of a project and want to make a constructive attempt in the field of Internet entertainment."
“You can apply for it without spending a penny.”
"And in the end, these tens of millions of hidden costs will still fall on the new program."
“And the new program will be broadcast on Penguin Video.”
"In the end, you spend your life once and reap a double benefit."
"First, you will be the first person in Penguin to propose the concept of interactive entertainment and try it out, which will attract the attention of top management."
"Second, this traffic will flow back to Penguin Video in the future, and this part of the investment will not be included in the calculation of investment. If you just look at the report, your report results will look very good at that time."
"Third, once this is done, New World will reach in-depth cooperation with you in the future."
It’s not about reaching in-depth cooperation with Penguin, but with you, Li Shanghong.
Li Shanghong thought deeply for five minutes before speaking: "Isn't it a bit too fast?"
"It's true that the market is changing, and many people have observed that the market is changing."
“But how the market will change is totally unpredictable.”
"If this thing goes wrong..."
Han Zhou: "How can you succeed without any failures? If the concept of Internet entertainment can attract the attention of Penguin's top management, you have succeeded. It is better to have an impression than no impression."
“If things go wrong, it will be nothing more than a failed experiment for top management.”
"Besides, this matter is not fast at all, it is already very slow."
Li Shanghong: "Is it really okay to move forward so quickly with something so new?"
Han Zhou said, "I saw something interesting on the Internet. The first club in the country was opened in Shenzhen. Your Penguin headquarters is also in Shenzhen. Guess how many years this club has been around?"
Li Shanghong tentatively estimated a number: "Twenty-one or twenty-two years?"
After all, Penguin has only been established for about twenty years.
Han Zhou: "The first club opened in Shenzhen in 1987."
Han Zhou turned to look at Li Shanghong: "The first batch of young technicians, Mr. Li is already sixty years old."
When Li Shanghong heard the news, he was stunned.
In 1987, that was thirty-six years ago. Let alone sixty, if you were considered old when you first entered the industry, you would probably be almost seventy now.
You know, the first batch of girls are already over 60 years old, and you still say that the world is changing too fast?
Do you really think that a fifty-year-old lady in the private room is a joke? She has been in the industry for a long time.
The world is always changing. While some places are still surviving in the huge inertia of the previous era, some people with far-sighted vision have already surpassed the present era and seen the path of the future era.
Han Zhou: "5G has become popular this year, and WiFi has entered the market on a large scale. Almost all young people now have one installed at home."
"It is expected that in three years, not only young people, but also middle-aged and elderly people will have to install this."
"You are from Penguin, and although you are in management rather than a technical position, can you guess when the frequency hopping technology used in WiFi was invented?"
Li Shanghong tentatively gave a time that he thought was a bit exaggerated: "Thirty... forty years ago?"
Han Zhou: “Eighty-two years ago.”
Li Shanghong really didn't know about this and was a little shocked.
Han Zhou: "There are some industries that always pursue youth."
"For example, in the entertainment industry, everyone is pursuing youth, whether it's a youthful mentality, a youthful appearance, or... the works are also pursuing a youthful average age of actors."
"But the structure of this circle is too old."
“Being too old means the distance to being eliminated is getting closer and closer.”
“In the changing times, if you don’t catch up with the first step, you will never catch up.”
On the Hanzhou Observation Deck, An Lan was receiving the Best New Actress Award.
Han Zhou: "Forty years ago, if you wanted to send a letter from a school in a town to the district hospital office in the town, even though it was just on the same street, it would take four days or even a week for the letter to arrive."
"Five years ago, it took a month to send a package a thousand kilometers away."
"Today, it only takes half a day to send a document to another unit. It only takes one day to send a package a thousand kilometers away. If it is a delivery within the city, the time is measured in minutes."
Han Zhou looked at Li Shanghong and said, "If this is accomplished, you will become a senior manager of Penguin. It is even possible that because you understand Internet entertainment better, you will become the number one figure in the largest business segment of Penguin in the future, and eventually become one of the top managers."
"If this fails, you can still secure your position as the second-in-command or even the first-in-command of Penguin Video by relying on the subsequent popularity of our show. It will be a win-win situation with no downsides."
Han Zhou looked at Li Shanghong seriously: "There is no need for me to explain these principles to you. You know them better than me. What you lack is the final force that pushes you to do this."
"I just wanted to take advantage of the 30 million or even 100 million yuan worth of publicity and promotion fees from Penguin Group."
"To promote my group."
Han Zhou spoke very sincerely.
Han Zhou explained clearly what benefits this would bring to Li Shanghong.
Han Zhou also said that the reason he said this was to take advantage of others.
This is called sincerity.
Li Shanghong's expression also became firm, but he still had one last question: "Are you sure that just because the entertainment industry needs to change the times, the top management will agree to give me this authority?"
"Or maybe I should show part of the plan to the higher-ups?"
Han Zhou smiled: "No need. The less information we give, the more anxious they will be."
Tianle, Mailang, and some subsequent companies will follow suit.
Tianle and Mailang, who are leading the group, can at least cover one tenth of the sky in the entertainment industry, even if they can't cover the whole sky with one hand, right?
If such companies are seeking change, it means that change is really coming.
It is precisely because they are not clear about what is going on that the top management of Penguin is determined to figure out the matter.
Only after making this decision did they let Li Shanghong conduct this promotion experiment.
You know, for outsiders, a large-scale pop-up window is worth hundreds of millions of dollars in publicity.
For Penguin, a pop-up is just a pop-up, and writing the code is easier than writing a 200-word press release.
Why would Han Zhou bet on this?
Because in the previous life, a giant company with similar business had done this.
If the penguin refuses to do this, it means that the penguins in this world are far inferior to the giant in the previous life.
If they agree, it means that in a few years, this penguin will still be one of the largest companies on the planet.
It is worth Han Zhou's investment in it, and it is worth Han Zhou's support for Li Shanghong to join their senior management.
After hearing the simple answer, Li Shanghong was silent for a moment, then he said, "Han Zhou, Han Zhou."
"This time, 'This Man From Earth' became popular, tapping into many trends, the number of VIP members skyrocketed, and I was able to show off in front of the top management."
"I'm going to stake the little bit of reputation I just earned on this matter."
Han Zhou smiled: "I can't say for sure it will work."
"But I dare say that if you and I stand on the same line, plus Tianle and Mailang, this thing will definitely succeed."
Li Shanghong sighed: "This matter...Okay, I will fly back to Shenzhen tonight."
"There will be a high-level meeting tonight, and I got the chance to go along to the drinks after the meeting this time... I'll take the whole thing."
“I hope the result won’t make me regret it.”
At this time, the award presenter on the stage said: "The winner of the China Film Golden Lily Award, the Best New Actor Award is... "Hello Mr. Tree", Han Zhou! The character, Mr. Tree!"
Han Zhou was stunned for a moment: "Any unexpected surprises?"
How did this award fall to me?
Han Zhou stood up in surprise and buttoned his clothes.
Li Shanghong was a little surprised when he saw Han Zhou win the award, and laughed: "I hope the future will be as bright as today."
Han Zhou: "The future will be ten thousand times brighter than today."
When he got on stage, Han Zhou took the trophy and smiled: "To be honest, I didn't expect to win the award."
"Thank you for the favor from the judging committee."
"'Hello Mr. Tree' is my first film, and I didn't expect it to win an award..."
Having said that, Han Zhou fell silent.
Han Zhou did not prepare his speech in advance, and only realized halfway through that this Best Newcomer award was an award that only newcomers in the industry could get.
The people in the audience laughed when they saw such a comedic scene.
Han Zhou then started laughing: "I was so excited that I lost my mind."
"I would like to thank the organizing committee, the film investors, and the actors in my group for receiving this award, including An Lan who is here today and Wu Li who is not here. I would also like to thank Chen Dayong and Wei Yuan who assisted in the filming. I would also like to thank the fans for their support. I hope that in the future I will have the opportunity to film more good roles and dedicate them to everyone."
Han Zhou expressed his gratitude but did not thank his parents.
Because Han Zhou's statement was not official, but he really wanted to thank these people.
There was no need to thank his parents on such occasions. Han Zhou decided at this moment that he would transfer one million yuan to his mother after he stepped down.
Finally, Han Zhou raised the trophy and said, "Thank you, Mr. Shu."
Han Zhou's speech was very incoherent.
Why don’t you thank yourself? What’s the point of thanking Mr. Shu?
But no one cared. After all, everyone knew that Han Zhou's brain would sometimes...
After getting off the stage, Han Zhou was passed by and people along the way congratulated him.
To be honest, this is considered as my official entry into the film industry.
In the past, only some marginal figures who were already small figures in the circle would take a second look at Han Zhou.
Wow, the leading actor of the movie is so awesome.
Wow, movie director, so envious.
To the real bigwigs in the film industry, Han Zhou is just a passerby and is not worthy of being heard at all.
Now that Han Zhou has won this award, he is qualified to be mentioned to these bigwigs.
Han Zhou is the Best New Actor winner of the 23rd Golden Lily Award.
With this said, the big guys will think, oh, this person is a professional in the circle, not just playing around.
Han Zhou also expressed his congratulations: "I am happy for you."
Everyone along the way was dumbfounded. Your winning the award has nothing to do with me. Why should I be happy about it?
But everyone just thought that Han Zhou was too excited, so he said something wrong.
When it was over, Li Shanghong immediately set off for the airport.
Han Zhou stayed and attended the dinner.
At the dinner, Han Zhou and An Lan sat together and chatted.
I didn’t expect that the male and female leading actors of the Best Newcomer awards were both in the same movie. This can be used as a hot topic.
If you pick just one of them, there’s no need for it to even be on the hot search list.
Of course, with An Lan’s current popularity, fans may rely on real data to push this news to the top of the trending searches.
As they were eating and drinking, a middle-aged man in a suit came over: "An Lan."
An Lan smiled: "Hello, Teacher Mo."
Teacher Mo looked at Han Zhou with a smile: "He is indeed a handsome man."
Han Zhou was very confused.
An Lan introduced: "Teacher Mo is a teacher in the Central Academy of Drama's acting class."
"I've been studying with Teacher Mo recently."
An Lan has now finished filming her individual scenes, and now she has to wait to film the final scenes together.
Han Zhou's situation is similar.
So An Lan is now preparing to systematically learn how to be a good actor.
Teacher Mo: "Han Zhou, I'm here to pass on a message to someone."
"We are organizing the new learning materials. We are thinking of recording Mr. Shu's performance in the latest video version of the teaching materials."
Han Zhou was a little confused: "Into...teaching materials?"
Teacher Mo nodded and smiled: "Textbook for junior students."
"Come to think of it, the students who are going to study this material are about the same age as you."
Han Zhou laughed awkwardly: "Ah? Junior year textbooks? Even if it's included in the textbooks, how about enlarging it and taking a look? Enlarging the junior year... isn't that appropriate?"
Teacher Mo: "There's nothing inappropriate about it. I did it on purpose."
"It's for the third-year students to watch."
“It’s not just the acting classes, but also the drama literature classes and directing classes. You have to watch and learn.”
"It's to tell them that a young man who is the same age as them, who was not born into a professional family and graduated from an accounting major, made an award-winning movie and gave a textbook performance."
Now I understand.
Show this to freshmen and they don't think it's a big deal.
Show this to third-year students. If it can alert some people, they still have more than a year to study and enrich themselves.
Moreover, as a freshman, I always think that I can only be ranked second on my first day.
Can you afford to watch performances by people who are not trained professionally?
So what if you win an award? If you have just entered the industry, who doesn’t want to win many awards in the future?
After studying for a few years and reaching their junior year, and having shot assignment works for two or three consecutive years, students will realize that what they shoot is nothing.
It's the right time to accept this stimulation.
Han Zhou thought for a moment and said, "Okay, that's fine."
Teacher Mo smiled and said, "Our school has always liked young talents, and you are young and energetic, so..."
Han Zhou smiled and said, "Just tell me what you want to say."
Teacher Mo: "Then I'll be frank. We want to invite you to give a class to students once a year. Don't talk about anything else, just talk about your own performance."
"Those old actors and directors who have already become famous don't have enough energy, and almost all of them refuse to listen to such things."
"So we can only come to you young people."
Talk about yourself?
Isn't that the same as going on stage and bragging about how awesome you are? Is that okay? Are you sure it's a course at the Central Academy of Drama?
Han Zhou was embarrassed: "This... is it inappropriate to brag about yourself on stage?"
Teacher Mo: "It's not about bragging about yourself, but because when you talk about yourself, it's definitely clearer than when others talk about you."
"If I were to give the speech, I might get some parts wrong, or even say the exact opposite. Wouldn't that have a counterproductive effect?"
Han Zhou thought about it and imagined himself giving a lecture on stage.
I found that it has a good visual sense and all the content is there.
All the acting courses I took in my previous life are still remembered word for word in my mind.
Han Zhou thought about it and realized that when he gave lectures, he could only talk about knowledge from books.
Han Zhou scratched his head: "Teacher Mo, I really can't explain how I act. If I were to explain it, I would only be able to follow the textbook."
"But I have a better memory, so maybe I can memorize the course knowledge without a textbook...other things...I really can't do it."
Teacher Mo: "That's not bad, is this matter... settled?"
Han Zhou suddenly felt that he might have been fooled.
Because Teacher Mo's expression seemed exactly the same as when I was fooling others!
However, now that it had come to this, Han Zhou could only accept it: "Okay."
After Teacher Mo left, An Lan whispered, "Early this morning, the actor who was originally awarded the Best Newcomer, Chu Xuyi, withdrew from the selection."
Han Zhou was stunned for a moment: "Why?"
An Lan: "I don't know, maybe it has something to do with Fourth Uncle Han."
"I heard that Chu Xuyi himself said that he still needs to gain experience and may have to go to CCTV to film some serious dramas. He is not qualified to win this award now."
In other words, Han Zhou's award is to fill the vacancy.
Some kind of deal? If so, it means that Fourth Uncle Han helped Han Zhou.
What is the reason?
An Lan: "I heard that today Huaying Company cancelled a cooperation project with Yanjing TV."
Han Zhou suddenly realized that it was Director Lu who banned him, which made Han Sisheng unhappy.
After all, Yanjing is under his nose.
It’s different from the Demon City.
However, Han Zhou was frowning at this time: "Doesn't that mean that all the hard work for half a day was in vain?"
If a TV station agrees to broadcast a talent show and Li Shanghong really agrees, then things will be difficult to deal with next.
If Han Zhou wants to convince Li Shanghong, he has to explain the closed loop of idol training to Li Shanghong in full.
This is a huge threat to my complete control over this matter.
An Lan: "Don't worry, Fourth Uncle Han just expressed his opinion, he didn't say what he would do to Director Lu, he's not that kind of person."
Han Zhou: "Then I feel relieved. Director Lu is a stingy person who cares about his reputation. He will probably bite the bullet and continue to ban me."
An Lan: "Are you going back to Xi City or Hengdian next?"
"Go back to Xi City. This hot summer is about to begin."
The people who were drinking nearby vaguely heard Han Zhou say that midsummer was about to begin. They began to doubt their lives. Isn't it only the middle of spring? Midsummer is about to begin? !
Oh, so it was Han Zhou who said that. It’s okay then.
