Volume 4 Crazy Growth 2017 Chapter 791: Take a Small Step
Faced with Yang Zimi's foodie remarks, Zhou Dongsheng couldn't help but burst out laughing, but a meaningful smile appeared on his face.
"As long as you think it tastes good, it's fine. Your evaluation is indispensable during the product development stage. When it is launched on the market, your evaluation will also be used for promotion. After all, you are the number one food video creator in my hands..."
In the second Golden Second Award, Yang Zimi not only won the annual award, but also won the Best Creator in the Food Field for the second consecutive year, so what Zhou Dongsheng said is indeed true.
"No problem, leave it to me. I may not be able to do other things, but when it comes to eating, that's my forte!" Yang Zimi said excitedly.
Then Zhou Dongsheng turned his gaze to Li Jiajia beside him. Their eyes met. Li Jiajia's expression looked a little unnatural, with two blushes on her face, as if she had thought of something.
"Mu Ziqi's task is heavier. We will focus on the brand established under your name. After all, Yang Zimi can only be regarded as a foodie, but you are an expert in making food videos."
As he spoke, Zhou Dongsheng smacked his lips. He was obviously the most qualified person to speak on this point. "And next, you can also use the topic of snail rice noodle as material to dig deeper into the uniqueness of this local traditional culture..."
"This is not only your video style, but also what you are good at. I believe there will be no problem handing it over to you!"
"Just like your last beef noodle video, it caused quite a stir and moved a lot of fans, attracting them to the beef noodle restaurant..."
“That’s the influence you have.”
Zhou Dongsheng spoke with great confidence, and the strong self-confidence emerging from the bottom of his heart easily infected everyone in the meeting room.
After all, Zhou Dongsheng knows how strong the staying power of the internet celebrity brand [Muziqi] is. Even though it was once deadlocked due to disputes, it can still firmly occupy a place in the market.
And relying on the solid fan audience accumulated previously, they have been transformed into loyal consumers of the brand. To some extent, this ability to bring products has surpassed most celebrities.
This is the value of the three words [Muziqi], and also the source of Zhou Dongsheng's confidence.
"I understand, Chairman! I will do my best to make a good video on snail noodles!" Li Jiajia said happily.
Li Jiajia felt particularly pleased to be entrusted with an important task by Zhou Dongsheng, and felt as if he was "raising soldiers for a thousand days and deploying them for a moment".
After all, from Li Jiajia's simple perspective, she has always received a lot of benefits from Zhou Dongsheng, but the return she brought to Zhou Dongsheng is "negligible."
For this reason, Li Jiajia didn't know what she could do. She could only put her utmost effort into making her videos and continue to study the materials.
I didn't expect that I would finally be put to good use now! Li Jiajia was overjoyed and secretly determined to do this to the utmost.
At this time, the other two had already found a place to stay, and he was the only one who hadn't. Jiang Yilei couldn't help but feel a little restless and quickly spoke up.
"Well, Chairman, what about me? What can I do?" Jiang Yilei added as soon as he finished speaking.
"Maybe I can do a segment on the selection of ingredients for river snail noodles, or use my old skills to shoot a few promotional videos, how about that?"
After all, he is a top student who graduated from the directing department of the Central Academy of Drama. He must have a place to use his talents, right?
Zhou Dongsheng couldn't help but laugh at the spirit of self-recommendation, and then looked at Xu Ruo'an who was standing beside him, "Didn't Mr. Xu tell her anything in advance?"
In response to this, Xu Ruoan said seriously: "I have always kept my mouth shut. I will not leak out anything that I shouldn't say!"
Seeing the two of them playing charades, Jiang Yilei was also confused, and Zhou Dongsheng didn't keep him in suspense.
"You [Papi Jiang] are the number one internet celebrity, so of course we can't ignore you. But you have other plans. As a professional who has graduated from a professional school, it's a bit of a waste of your talent to just shine on the Internet..."
"Your acting skills are solid, which is a fact that everyone can see. In addition, your popularity is no less than that of ordinary traffic stars, so many people have already set their sights on you."
"How about it, are you interested in making a movie?"
Zhou Dongsheng said cheerfully, and at the same time, his mind was full of ideas. After all, Jiang Yilei graduated from the directing department of the Central Academy of Drama. With a little training, is it possible for him to become a director?
As soon as this thought came to his mind, Zhou Dongsheng's mind appeared the famous scene of General Fan, "I don't have the ability to do that, you know.jpg".
Zhou Dongsheng couldn't help but shook his head, putting this sudden idea behind him, and then turned his attention to Jiang Yile.
Jiang Yilei obviously misunderstood and said in surprise, "Boss, do you want me to be a director? I can't do that. Although I graduated from the directing department, but..."
Not all students who graduate from directing departments can become directors, just like students who graduate from computer science departments can’t repair computers, and students who graduate from law departments can’t make fireballs…
Xu Ruoan on the side laughed in silence. Since the boss had spoken, he naturally had nothing to hide, so he took over the conversation.
"I'm asking you to make a movie, not to be a director. Your ability to deliver lines and your vivid acting skills are the basis for you to become popular all over the Internet. In addition, your popularity is unprecedentedly high, so it's reasonable for someone to invite you to play a role in a movie..."
"But, nowadays, making movies is not a difficult thing to do, and as our company's top artist, you naturally can't just be a suitable candidate for any crew..."
As a veteran who has worked in the entertainment industry, Xu Ruoan naturally has a clear understanding of this big melting pot of entertainment.
After all, art has always been the place where filth and dirt can be hidden the most. Anyone who puts on the fig leaf of art can call himself an artist.
Even though she had failed in her business venture before, Xu Ruoan still had the basic foresight, so after some screening, she was able to select a few decent invitations.
With the support of the IP [Papi Jiang], Jiang Yilei undoubtedly "brought money into the group". After all, invisible capital such as traffic is also capital.
Despite this, Jiang Yilei still had to go through the audition process, unless... this movie was produced by the company from beginning to end, in which case they could naturally use whoever they wanted.
"However, there is a crew that is full of sincerity, with a comedy theme and many big names gathered!" Xu Ruoan said with a smile.
At this point, Jiang Yilei naturally reacted, with a hint of surprise on his face. He pointed at himself and said, "Let me act in a movie? Can this be considered a roundabout way to save the country? I've returned to the entertainment industry after a lot of twists and turns..."
Jiang Yilei said with some emotion, after all, which student who enters the four major art schools doesn't have a dream of becoming a star?
But as time goes , there are very few lucky people who can get what they want, while there are many who end up losing both their money and their lives.
In comparison, I am undoubtedly the lucky one.
Zhou Dongsheng smiled and said, "You can give it a try. If you pass the audition, the company can consider investing some money in this project. If you perform well, you may be able to continue to develop in the film industry in the future..."
"As the first internet celebrity, you have opened up a channel for the industry to appear on the big screen. Coupled with your previous advertising monetization channels, your title as the first in the industry is absolutely unshakable."
Hearing this, Jiang Yilei's heart was moved, and he said very tactfully: "I am where I am today, all thanks to the cultivation of the chairman. I will definitely not let the chairman down..."
In response, Zhou Dongsheng smiled brightly, nodded and said, "Okay, the new year has just begun. I hope your careers will be prosperous and reach new heights. After all, as long as you work hard enough..."
"Then I can buy a Rolls-Royce to reward myself. To be honest, I have been coveting this car for a long time." Zhou Dongsheng changed the subject and made a harmless joke.
After all, with his current wealth, he can easily buy most of the limited edition luxury cars in the world. Only some rare collectibles may be difficult for Zhou Dongsheng.
However, Zhou Dongsheng did not have any deep obsession with such rare treasures that were hard to come by.
"Okay, then our New Year's goal is to work hard to buy a Rolls-Royce for the chairman!" Jiang Yilei was the first to say something funny after hearing this.
"And this line is pretty good. How about the boring life of a boss as the material for the next episode? It can be combined with the Golden Second Award. I have a feeling that this episode will be a hit!"
Jiang Yile said with great inspiration. After all, in addition to her main job, she also serves as the chief screenwriter of Zhou Dongsheng's short video.
"Interesting. It's better to do it today than today. Since everyone is here, why don't we just let you be the guests and make a video on the spot."
"I haven't been open for business for a long time, so this is a good opportunity for me to take advantage of my popularity." Zhou Dongsheng stretched and said lazily.
Although when Zhou Dongsheng shot this short video, it was purely out of a sudden whim and bad taste, he did not expect that by accident, he would push himself to the forefront of the internet celebrity economy.
To date, the size of his fan base has made him a top-tier internet celebrity in the industry. Even because of his own uniqueness, he has become a unique existence above the top.
To a certain extent, this traffic has brought a boost to Zhou Dongsheng's career, with a bit of the effect of "I bring salt to myself".
Since Zhou Dongsheng had said this, Jiang Yilei and the other two naturally followed suit. They even began to play their respective roles and make use of their own strengths, preparing to polish the video material for this episode. To this end, the three of them began brainstorming.
As for the people, they were already available at the group headquarters, and the shooting location was naturally an office with huge floor-to-ceiling windows that offered a panoramic view of the Oriental Pearl Tower.
With the immediate tacit understanding among the group, the shooting progress naturally progressed by leaps and bounds.
While Zhou Dongsheng was enjoying himself, the war over shared bikes had already spread from 2016 to 2017.
Since its debut at the Wuzhen Summit, shared bicycles, this unique Internet darling, have undoubtedly become even more unstoppable and extremely popular.
And this time it is no longer limited to the domestic market. With the help of the World Internet Conference, this strange trend has been brought into the international vision.
Moreover, this brand-new application of the concept of sharing economy has undoubtedly caught the eyes of some overseas investors. Before this, they seemed to have never thought that even a simple bicycle could be called shared.
After all, some developed countries have vast land and sparse population, and there are indeed no application scenarios for shared bicycles. But even so, they can still be of some use in the vast majority of densely populated cities.
It is worth mentioning that Dai Wei, the founder of Ofo, who has always coveted the market on the other side of the ocean, has already hit it off with a strong overseas capital in the last round of financing.
This time, with the help of the Internet Conference, Ofo, as the leader in shared bicycles, has directly attracted the attention of many overseas investors.
For Dai Wei, who has lofty ambitions and wants to build a great company like Google, going abroad is obviously the first crucial step.
For this reason, as early as the Wuzhen Summit, Dai Wei had already started busying himself with social engagements for this matter, which meant that he didn't even have much time to deal with Zhou Dongsheng.
After all, the World Internet Conference is a godsend opportunity for a large number of bigwigs to gather together, but it only comes once a year, so Dai Wei naturally has to seize it.
With the help of this spring breeze, and with overseas capital taking the lead in the previous round of financing, the two parties hit it off and reached a preliminary cooperation intention.
This is undoubtedly a small step towards leading the trend of shared bicycles beyond the borders, and also a big step for Ofo's overseas strategy.
Dai Wei has kept such important news secret, preparing to launch a major publicity campaign after the event. This achievement alone is enough to secure the position of Ofo as the industry leader.
Originally, as the end of the year was approaching, Dai Wei could no longer hold back and was ready to announce it solemnly to the world. However, he did not expect that the Golden Second Award would cause such a sensation and grab a lot of public attention.
For this reason, Dai Wei obviously learned from the previous experience of a singer named Wang in the entertainment industry and did not choose to make the matter public at that time.
By 2017, not only had the popularity of the Golden Second Award almost died down, but the layout of the Ofo bike in overseas markets was about to be officially launched.
This moment is naturally the most appropriate time. Dai Wei could no longer suppress the waves of emotion in his heart, and immediately launched the publicity and promotion methods he had prepared for a long time to announce the news to the world.
"OFO officially released its overseas strategy, representing China's shared bicycle industry in going global. The company started overseas services in San Francisco, London and Singapore, and welcomes local users to try it out..."
