Volume 2: Storm Rising 2015 Chapter 450 New Year's Eve is coming
Zhou Dongsheng didn't expect that his original intention was just to hold a symbolic award ceremony, even if it was just for his own amusement.
Just think of it as a celebration of the first year, and it is equivalent to paying out of your own pocket to add some value to short video creators such as [Papi Jiang] and [Muziqi] who are about to enter the historical stage. It can also be regarded as a promotion for Muse Short Video.
But there is no point in just bragging, so Zhou Dongsheng tried to integrate the resources he had. Unexpectedly, the snowball kept getting bigger and bigger, and the influence of the Golden Second Award became uncontrollable.
Not only did it achieve Zhou Dongsheng's goal, it even far exceeded his original expectations. It was truly an "unexpected surprise."
Zhou Dongsheng, who was at the center of the vortex, was not panicked at all. He was even a little excited and expectant. He didn't expect that he could make such a big scene now.
Although there is a suspicion of taking shortcuts, isn't this part of Zhou Dongsheng's own abilities?
Zhou Dongsheng felt that he had escaped from the category of "little person". Although he was not a big person yet, for him, this world was no longer out of reach and untouchable.
It seems that we are getting closer and closer to experiencing those 'plain and boring' days.
"I didn't expect you to make such a big fuss. Even Mr. Ding was invited by you. I really underestimated you." Principal Wang, wearing a neat suit, said happily.
At this time, they naturally stayed in a hotel near the Expo Center and made preparations for entering the venue in advance.
In order to match the level of the Golden Second Award, Principal Wang directly used his influence in the Magic City to organize a luxury concierge fleet composed entirely of Rolls-Royces.
Except for the two Rolls-Royces he personally sponsored, most of the others were borrowed by giving away face.
At that time, these cars will take turns to carry the guests onto the red carpet , and the cards can be said to be fully booked.
Zhou Dongsheng couldn't help but recall that after Principal Wang took over the LPL league, he also came up with a gimmick of having many team players appear in the game in an extended version of Lincoln.
Not to mention, there was also the same e-sports red carpet segment, where a former professional player left a famous scene that will be remembered forever...
Retracting his thoughts, Zhou Dongsheng, who was also wearing a handsome suit, adjusted his tie and said with a grin, "Didn't we talk about short videos during dinner last time? Mr. Ding was very interested, so I just casually invited him this time. I didn't expect that he would accept the invitation..."
It has always been the case that Principal Wang is the only one who gets to show off in front of others. When will it be someone else's turn to show off in front of him?
However, listening to Zhou Dongsheng's nonchalant pretense, Principal Wang had to admit that he was really impressed by his pretense this time.
After all, a big shot of Ding Sanshi's level is a big shot of the same level as his biological father. Even someone as arrogant as Principal Wang dare not look down on him.
The gap between the top second generation and the top first generation is like a chasm. There is no possibility of comparing the two. Principal Wang is somewhat self-aware of this.
However, Principal Wang did not expect that Zhou Dongsheng, who was an unknown little man a year ago, would rise at a rocket-like speed and in the blink of an eye he had become as good as himself.
This friend is the right one to make.
"Since President Ding thinks highly of you, it seems that the project you invested in has great potential. How about you take me with you in the next round of financing?" Principal Wang started to think.
"Then I guess there's no chance. President Ding said that the next round of financing will be led exclusively by Zhuchang. Besides, live streaming is so expensive. Principal Wang, do you still have money?"
Zhou Dongsheng joked that after this battle, the next round of financing for Wenxue Network will definitely be calculated in billions of US dollars, and the valuation of Wenxue Network will definitely go up a level. Conservative estimates show that it will not be less than 500 million US dollars!
Only Ding Sanshi has the confidence to say that he is the sole lead investor, and as for Principal Wang... the Prince of Yida is still the Prince of Yida after all, and Yida’s wealth does not mean that Principal Wang is not short of money.
What’s more, Principal Wang now has two very expensive businesses, e-sports and live streaming…
Principal Wang laughed and scolded, "You are really too proud. It has been a long time since anyone asked me, 'Do you have any money?'"
"At worst, I can ask my family for the money. As long as I don't use it to pick up girls and ruin the family, my grandfather will definitely not have any objection to investing in such a project."
Listening to Principal Wang's righteous tone, Zhou Dongsheng could only retreat helplessly. It turned out that it was a bit difficult to show off in front of the current Principal Wang.
I can only say in my heart, don't despise the poor youngsters, wait until the three-year period is up...
At this time, Xu Ruoan, who was wearing an evening gown and a down coat, and Yang Luyu from Wenxue Network also appeared.
"Hello, Mr. Zhou, hello, Mr. Wang." Yang Luyu greeted them with some excitement that could not be concealed.
He never dreamed that the Golden Second Award, which he originally thought was just a symbolic award, would unexpectedly become such a highly anticipated event with such a huge fanfare that he almost thought it was some international film festival.
However, to some extent, the level of the Golden Second Award is not necessarily inferior to that of some international film festivals.
Xu Ruoan's expression was similar. Coming from the entertainment industry, Xu Ruoan was already accustomed to the star-studded award ceremonies.
However, this unique Golden Second Award obviously has a different meaning, especially this time, she is no longer a participant with an artist, but one of the organizers, and the feeling is naturally completely different.
If the Golden Second Award becomes a huge hit and becomes a very important award, she will be considered one of the veterans, an honor that is unattainable in the entertainment industry.
Xu Ruoan likes the feeling of expanding his territory in a new industry more and more, and the idea of returning to the entertainment industry to start a business is gradually fading.
After all, in the entertainment industry, which has already formed strict rules and clear hierarchies, it is not easy for her to make a name for herself with her qualifications and accumulation.
What's more, she has already failed once. In comparison , this emerging industry obviously has more opportunities and unlimited possibilities.
Whether to be the head of a chicken or the tail of a phoenix, Xu Ruoan has made his choice.
The four of them were standing in the hotel lobby and casually exchanging a few words when a hearty and generous voice came from outside the door.
"Hahaha, why are you all standing at the door..." Everyone looked in the direction of the voice, and Ding Sanshi's round, kind and highly recognizable face appeared in front of everyone.
As soon as this heavyweight guest appeared, he immediately attracted everyone's attention.
"Aren't we waiting for your visit, Brother Ding?" Zhou Dongsheng greeted him with a bright smile on his face.
"Why are you so polite?" Ding Sanshi smiled and patted Zhou Dongsheng's shoulder affectionately.
"Hello, Mr. Ding, I am..." Principal Wang walked forward and greeted him with a smile.
"I know you, you're from Old Wang's family." Although they are from different circles, for Ding Sanshi who likes to keep up with the times, it is natural that he knows Principal Wang, the popular "Internet celebrity".
After all, several years later, when Ding Sanshi stepped onto the DJ stage to play music, Principal Wang was also there to cheer him on.
This scene from the future flashed through his mind, and Zhou Dongsheng couldn't help but smile sweetly.
However, the most important guest Ding Sanshi has already arrived, and the Golden Second Award, the country's first new media short video award, is about to begin.
