Volume 2: Storm Rising 2015 Chapter 147 The show begins
The place for dinner was still chosen to be Chen Yuhang's restaurant. Both the grade and the dishes were very Cantonese. In addition, Chen Yuhang was one of the shareholders of the company, so it was the best choice.
Zhou Dongsheng and Chen Shijie arrived first, chatting and laughing with Chen Yuhang in the box. Principal Wang, who had taken a special flight from Shanghai, was also late.
As soon as he entered the box, Principal Wang said with a smile, "I'm sorry to have kept you waiting for so long. Hello, Mr. Chen. I've heard of you for a long time, but this is the first time we meet."
Chen Shijie kept smiling and said politely, "I have heard of Principal Wang for a long time. Today I see that he is indeed one of the most talented young people in the country. He is so impressive!"
Although the two are competitors in a strict sense, and had some minor conflicts over the signing of anchor Dazhi, it did not prevent the two from greeting each other at all.
As the saying goes, don't hit someone who smiles at you. Business competition is one thing, and real life is another. Even if there is fighting and killing in the business world, people may still be chatting and laughing in private.
We are all civilized people. It’s impossible us to fight when we meet, right?
"Don't be polite, both of you. Just sit down and eat." Zhou Dongsheng smoothed things over, making the delicate atmosphere a little more harmonious.
"Now that everyone is here, I'll go arrange the serving of the dishes and you guys can chat about your things." Chen Yuhang also took his leave at an appropriate time. Although he had invested in Little People Media, he knew very little about the small world of live streaming.
After all, he has invested in so many industries, and he may not understand each of them clearly. It’s just a risk concept of not putting all your eggs in one basket.
This is also the advantage of the second generation of rich people. They have sufficient capital as a backing. The cost of trial and error alone is beyond the reach of ordinary people. They can afford the losses, and if things really don't work out, they still have the option of a life of idleness and waiting for death.
Reincarnation is a technical job, and this is what it means to be born in Rome.
"I was a little surprised when I heard from Dongsheng that Mr. Chen came all the way to participate in the show. I didn't expect that this show would catch Mr. Chen's eye."
Principal Wang started the conversation with a calm expression, showing no sign of discomfort about having poached the top anchor on the platform, as if he was just greeting old friends.
"In my opinion, this program of Dongsheng is of great significance to the live broadcast industry and has given me a lot of inspiration, so I came here specifically to learn from it."
"Our Shark platform is also planning to follow this model and launch an Anchor Star Plan to select and train suitable anchors..." Chen Shijie spoke freely, not hiding his thoughts at all.
"Mr. Chen really has ideas. No wonder the Shark platform can thrive. In this respect, you are my predecessor and I still have a lot to learn from you. Let me toast you a glass." Principal Wang raised the glass with an expression of inferiority.
"No, it's a blessing for the industry that Principal Wang can join the live broadcast industry. It also teaches us old people a lesson. I respect you!"
"Then I can only use tea instead of wine. Cheers to both of you for leading my small company to prosperity." Zhou Dongsheng smiled kindly and joined the ranks of people carrying the fancy sedan.
In the subsequent conversation, Zhou Dongsheng also took the initiative to talk about some ideas for the second episode, especially about Yang Zimi's little creative idea.
Principal Wang's eyes lit up when he heard this. "Can we still play like this? The whole live broadcast would take too long, can that little girl handle it?"
"Just eat slowly. The most important thing is to create an atmosphere. Just treat her as the mascot of the show. It can also increase the live broadcast effect." Zhou Dongsheng said happily.
"Dongsheng, you seem to think highly of Yang Zimi. Are you optimistic about the future of this live broadcast format?" Chen Shijie asked his question.
"I'm personally quite optimistic about it. It's also a kind of attempt. After all, we are an anchor agency and can't expand as much as your platform. We can only start by cultivating a single anchor and try to open up some tracks that no one has walked on." Zhou Dongsheng also mentioned it briefly.
Although the benefits of eating broadcasts cannot be monopolized by one person, one company or even one platform, the "80/20 rule" is widely present in all walks of life.
The food-broadcasting industry is no exception. As long as you can have the top anchors and occupy 80% of the industry's traffic, it is not a monopoly but is better than a monopoly.
Whether it is the future era of live streaming selling goods, or like [Muziqi], they have achieved the effect of top monopoly in their respective fields.
Although Zhou Dongsheng's appetite is not that big, Yang Zimi, the big eater, has a big appetite. He doesn't mind eating more or less.
"Dongsheng's optimism is the biggest guarantee. This kid has always had a unique vision, not only in the live broadcast industry, but also in stocks." Principal Wang did not hesitate to praise him.
"Oh? Dongsheng has this ability? The stock market has been very hot recently, but I have never been good at stock trading..." Chen Shijie also continued with a smile.
"No, no, I'm just lucky." The topic changed and they started chatting about the stock market again, but they just talked briefly and didn't go into depth.
The meal was a joyful one, with both the host and the guests having a great time. After all, none of them were technical people, and apart from relying on capital, they also relied on their mouths.
Until the end of the show, no one mentioned the host Dazhi's incident, as if it was just an insignificant matter.
…
On weekend evenings, the live broadcast of "Hello Female Anchor" is still held in the same studio, but after a round of eliminations, the venue is much more spacious.
The venue still follows the layout of the first phase, except that there is an additional live broadcast room. At this time, there is a large table with a variety of dishes piled on it.
Needless to say, we know that this is an exclusive live broadcast room specially prepared for Yang Zimi. This treatment alone is enough to make other contestants envious.
"Why? We are all contestants. But she gets to be special. She just can eat." Some contestants in the background said sourly.
"That's right. She's not as good as Su Su in figure, and not as good as Shen Fu in temperament. Can you become famous just by eating these days?" another contestant echoed.
"There are all kinds of birds in the forest. Being able to eat is actually a skill."
As the saying goes, three women make a play, and the backstage is basically made up of girls. They get together in groups of three or four, and they mostly talk about things related to the competition.
As the saying goes, the first bird to stick its head out gets shot. Just because Yang Zimi seemed "ordinary" and didn't even participate in the first episode of the show, he gained the greatest fame and rewards.
Therefore, he suddenly became the target of public criticism, the object of everyone's envy, jealousy and hatred. To put it bluntly, he hated that such a good thing did not happen to him.
At this time, Yang Zimi, with an innocent face, walked into the backstage. The backstage became quiet and someone came over immediately.
"Hey, Sister Zimi is here. I follow you on Weibo. Let's follow each other!" There is no trace of the sarcastic look just now from her enthusiastic attitude.
If she could perform this face-changing skill on stage, there would be no need to envy others. She might be the next rising star. Even rappers who claim to only perform realistic raps would feel inferior after seeing her.
Even the contestant who had just been making sarcastic remarks to Yang Zimi with her was now stunned and amazed.
