Volume 3: Taking Roots 2016 Chapter 472 The Three-Year Period Begins
Zhou Dongsheng didn't expect that after a huge rush to increase his reputation, he would actually briefly experience the troubles .
The simplest and most intuitive feeling is that when I am walking on the streets, there will be little girls staring at me, as if they look very familiar to me.
After identifying himself, he seemed to recognize himself, and then excitedly took out his mobile phone to take pictures secretly, as if he wanted to share the photos with others.
The excitement was like meeting a star.
However, perhaps the biggest difference between them and celebrities is that even if they are recognized, the other person will not come forward to say hello, and naturally there will be no thought of taking a photo or asking for an autograph.
This also made Zhou Dongsheng feel a little disappointed, ahem.
It seems to have received some attention, but not much. There is still an invisible and intangible, but real gap between the Internet and the real world.
Although this wave of self-marketing was very successful, the popularity came and went quickly, and after just two or three days, Zhou Dongsheng's life basically returned to normal.
Apart from a surge in reputation and the fact that his personal Douyin account gained more than one million followers, there doesn't seem to be much change.
Just like Andy Warhol's 15 minutes of fame, in the Internet age, perhaps everyone has 15 minutes of fame and can get the attention of the general public.
Besides that, there are always the nagging calls from my mom and the constant reminders on my phone that there is a new WeChat message...
After these 15 minutes, everything will return to calm, and this is how Zhou Dongsheng feels right now.
However, after this experience, Zhou Dongsheng felt that the feeling of standing under the spotlight, which he had always resisted, did not seem so bad after all.
No wonder celebrities are so obsessed with traffic and exposure, and no wonder there will be so many grassroots internet celebrities trying every means to gain attention in the future.
In addition to the benefits, simply becoming famous is also a sweet experience for ordinary people.
After experiencing it personally, Zhou Dongsheng seemed to have an inexplicable understanding of the internet celebrity economy.
During the few days when Zhou Dongsheng was experiencing the thrill of fame, Wenxue Network also officially signed a contract for its B round of financing with Zhuchang and issued an announcement to the public.
Zhuchang Capital invested US$30 million in Wenxue Network, which is equivalent to a valuation of US$300 million, equivalent to a market value of about RMB 2 billion, which is several times higher than the US$50 million valuation in the A round.
At the same time, the cloud music business of Zhuchang, which it is proud of, also announced that it would share music copyrights with Douyin short video, and reach in-depth cooperation in music licensing for mutual benefit and win-win results.
When Ding Sanshi attended the Golden Second Awards, many people speculated that this was a signal that Zhuchang was preparing to enter the short video field.
After all, as the founder of the pig factory, Ding Sanshi is himself the flagship figure of the pig factory, and his every word and action represents the pig factory.
It seems reasonable that Ding Sanshi, who is obsessed with music and even spares no effort to develop the Zhuchang Cloud Music business, is optimistic about music short videos, a product that breaks new ground in the short video track.
Therefore, once this announcement was issued, it did not cause much shock, but was more of an expected and natural thing.
With the support of Zhuchang and Cloud Music business, the development of the Douyin short video software has undoubtedly been equipped with a capital engine, and it is about to enter the fast lane of development.
At the same time, Kuaishou and Meipai, two major domestic short video giants, were not to be outdone and successively released the live broadcast function of their own platforms, officially opening up the mobile live broadcast track.
Although the up-and-coming TikTok is coming on strong, the two major platforms with hundreds of millions of users are still as solid as a rock and their position is difficult to shake.
Zhou Dongsheng is well aware of this. Development cannot be achieved overnight, and this chasm-like gap cannot be easily bridged.
Whether it is the Golden Second Award or a group of top internet celebrities such as [Papi Jiang], it takes time to accumulate and slowly build up efforts.
He had done what he should do, even taking the lead himself. The rest had to be left to Yang Luyu to lead the platform to slowly digest.
Having obtained a large amount of financing from the pig factory, Wenxue Network now has sufficient funds to cope with the development in the next period of time.
The matter of the short video came to an end for the time being, and Zhou Dongsheng took the time to bring Liu to the long-missed headquarters of the IM Electronics Club.
After losing weight through fitness, Liu has now lost a lot of weight. He looks much stronger and his spirit has improved.
At the beginning of the new year, the operation that Liu had been preparing for for a long time was about to enter the practical stage. Since participating in the Golden Second Award, Liu has completely suspended his career development and entered a state of preparation.
After all, all surgeries are risky. No matter how optimistic Liu is, he can't help being nervous. He has just reached the peak of his life and hasn't enjoyed happy days for long.
If I confess, I won’t be able to spend any money I earn.
Zhou Dongsheng was helpless in this matter. Even if he tried to comfort her in every way, it was useless. After all, he was the only one who knew the result, and no one would believe it if he told it to her.
He simply took Liu to see the young people in IM Electronics Club.
After all, the spring season is about to start, and all the players of IM Electronics Club are actively preparing for the competition. As the boss, it is natural for him to give some pre-war motivation and make some promises.
Thinking of this, Zhou Dongsheng felt a little bit of anticipation. After all, in the transfer period not long ago, IG's main mid laner had officially joined the IM team.
With Zhou Dongsheng's hard work in wielding the hoe, the last cornerstone of the championship has been successfully put in place. Zhou Dongsheng inexplicably felt a sense of accomplishment in successfully collecting the cards.
As one of the most conscientious foreign players in the LPL region, whether it is his outstanding personal strength or his ability to lead a team, he is definitely the backbone of the team.
At the same time, speaking fluent Chinese can also serve as a bridge of communication for the team and act as a lubricant between foreign players and local players.
Coupled with the social ceiling of the region, and with the number one socialite Shi Shenming in charge, the team's potential can be said to be fully utilized. The IM team has been reborn and officially transformed into future warriors!
Zhou Dongsheng couldn't help rubbing his hands with excitement, and in order to give the contestants a surprise, their two bosses did not inform them in advance and prepared a surprise attack.
Unexpectedly, as soon as the two walked into the club’s gate, they heard the players shouting from the training room.
The two men couldn't help but smile. "Wow, it seems that these guys are training very seriously." Liu said in amazement.
"Could it be that you leaked the news and they knew we were here to put on a show?" Zhou Dongsheng was in a good mood and joked.
"Boss, you are wrongly accusing me. I'm very tight-lipped..." Liu cried out in injustice, but when two people came closer and heard the voice, his expression couldn't help but look a little strange.
"There is a team with a gun in the direction of 165! Do you look down on your brothers? How dare you shoot at me! Come on, shoot me to death! You have the guts to shoot me to death!" The young and frivolous Yu Wenbo spoke the loudest.
"Old Song, don't be a coward, beat him!"
"Hold on, Jack, I'm coming!"
Outside, Zhou Dongsheng and Liu looked at each other in bewilderment. They were very familiar with the content of this conversation. After all, they often teamed up to play PUBG together, including Principal Wang.
Liu coughed and said, "Ahem , we need to change up our schedule after training, right, boss..."
