Volume 4 Crazy Growth 2017 Chapter 885
On December 31, 2017, at dusk, as the sun slowly set, the last ray of sunshine of 2017 gradually disappeared into the horizon.
When the sun rises as usual the next day, the curtain of 2018 will be unveiled.
Although we know that the year is a calendar system created by humans as a way to record time, it does not essentially affect the continuity of time.
But for human beings, this sense of ritual to commemorate the passing of time is indeed invaluable.
As night falls, thousands of lights are lit up in China, and countless people are looking forward to the New Year's Eve and preparing all kinds of surprises for this ceremonial moment.
The carnival of the festival can at least allow people to escape from life for a short while, which may be one of the main meanings of the festival.
At this ceremonial moment, the annual Golden Second Award, like in previous years, made its grand debut at the Shanghai Exhibition Center.
Compared to the simple venue of the first session, the current Golden Second Award is no longer the same as before. Not only is there a gorgeous red carpet in front of the door, but both sides of the red carpet are also filled with media of all sizes carrying cameras.
The red carpet was even more star-studded, and under the reflection of the flash and lights, it seemed as bright as day at this moment.
At the same time, in the live broadcast rooms of major online live broadcast platforms, many people gathered together to participate in this short video industry awards feast with relish.
Looking at the many barrages of comments on the screen and the comments of netizens, even if you are alone celebrating the New Year, you can still enjoy the happiness of gathering together for warmth in the live broadcast room at this moment.
After all, if there is someone to spend the New Year’s Eve with, who would watch the live broadcast here (funny)?
Many short video creators that they are familiar with will appear one by one. In addition, there will be many celebrity guests acting as supporting actors, giving many viewers a sense of participation that "the creators I follow have made progress."
Due to the large number of participants, this live broadcast of the red carpet show had already begun in the afternoon and was only coming to an end as night fell.
However, neither the audience in the live broadcast room nor the many media reporters present had any intention of moving their feet. Instead, they were all eagerly waiting for the grand finale guest to make his debut...
Soon, a Rolls-Royce slowly stopped at the starting point of the red carpet. Countless reporters were shocked and all pointed their cameras at one place, ready to press the shutter at any time.
As the car door opened, Master Wu, who had dark skin and a bright smile, appeared in a black suit, looking like a bodyguard, and waved to the reporters.
The next person to get off the car was a woman wearing a sparkling deep V dress. She exuded a sense of fashion and elegance. Her hair was piled up high, showing off her fair and dazzling swan neck.
With Wolf Warrior in front and White Swan in the back, this pair is undoubtedly the most popular combination in the entertainment industry this year. They are also the most sought-after Wolf Warrior crew that has won all major film awards this year!
The milestone achievement of 6 billion yuan in box office revenue not only means a new chapter for Chinese films, but also allows many people to see the unlimited possibilities for the future of Chinese films.
Moreover, this symbol of the ceiling of the Chinese film box office has also become a mountain in the eyes of relevant practitioners. If they can climb over this mountain, then...
Gaining fame and fortune, and being recorded in the annals of film history, will all be within your reach.
But before that, all these flowers and applause belonged to all the staff in front of and behind the scenes of the Wolf Warrior crew.
Prior to this, the other leading actors had already made their appearances, leaving only the last three heavyweight characters as the finale guests...
That’s right, there are three of them, and the influence of one of them goes beyond the film level. Even if he only plays a supporting role, he still gives the film itself an extraordinary meaning.
Surrounded by the male and female protagonists, a young man in his prime slowly got out of the car, stood on the red carpet, looked around calmly, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and waved to the camera unhurriedly.
There was a damn elegance all over his body, enough to charm thousands of girls, and even... not just girls.
After all, with Zhou Dongsheng on the Hurun Rich List, he was crowned the youngest and richest man in China, and even in the world...
Principal Wang, who was once able to compete with Zhou Dongsheng in the competition for the title of "National Husband", was defeated as Yida fell into a quagmire.
Zhou Dongsheng, who now has all the necessary qualities, has already become the undisputed "national husband". Every day, under his accounts on various platforms, many netizens, regardless of gender, line up in the comment area holding their love number plates...
Whether it is a joke or sincere, this undoubtedly means that Zhou Dongsheng's influence has been further enhanced, and he has gradually built a "golden body" of his own in the public opinion field!
Zhou Dongsheng's grand appearance at the Golden Second Awards was also his first appearance in the public eye after various rumors about him had been making headlines online.
Many reporters and spectators have been waiting for this moment for a long time. In an instant, they generously contributed their meager strength, integrating it into the traffic in the form of text and pictures, thus forming a huge wave that swept in all directions.
"Zhou Dongsheng!"
"Husband! My husband scolded me!"
There seemed to be a different voice among the cheers. Even Zhou Dongsheng couldn't help but look sideways. He looked in the direction of the voice and seemed to see a bearded guy cheering passionately for him...
In an instant, the air seemed to be a little tense. Zhou Dongsheng showed an awkward but polite smile, waved at him, and then took two steps at a time, wishing he could leave quickly.
Who rolled out this red carpet? Why is it so long? Zhou Dongsheng couldn't help but secretly complain in his heart.
However, the red carpet is a symbolic ceremony of the award ceremony. The three of them quickly walked to the signature wall at the end. After the staff handed them the signature pen, the three of them signed their names neatly.
Afterwards, they took a group photo together. During the routine interview session, one reporter could no longer resist the urge to stir up trouble and asked a question first.
"Hello, Mr. Jay, there are rumors online that you have planned to immigrate overseas. What do you think about this?"
When this question was asked, everyone present looked at each other in bewilderment. However, many reporters were as excited as if they had been injected with chicken blood. They all pointed their cameras at Zhou Dongsheng, as if they wanted to capture his inner thoughts from the subtle changes in his expression.
This issue is one of the most concerned issues in the recent controversy surrounding Zhou Dongsheng, and the reason is the birth of the investment institution "Dongsheng Overseas Fund".
Under the guidance of people with bad intentions, it became one of the ironclad evidences of Zhou Dongsheng transferring assets and immigrating overseas.
Zhou Dongsheng chuckled and said with a hint of contempt: "I don't bother to answer this question. If you insist on my response, I will respond with one sentence."
"I have no regrets about entering China in this life, and I hope to live in China in the next life!"
Then he turned away, no longer paying attention to these reporters who were always trying to make a big news, and walked straight into the venue.
However, this response has already satisfied many reporters. No matter how Zhou Dongsheng responds, the topic has already become as hot as it can be.
As for the rest, they don’t care how huge the flood is, because they have already got the traffic.
"Tsk tsk, Dongsheng, your response is really domineering. Netizens all say that I am a Wolf Warrior, but I think you are the Wolf Warrior who deserves it!"
After entering the venue, Master Wu on the side joked happily.
"What? As a member of the Wolf Warrior crew, is there anything wrong with me being a Wolf Warrior? Isn't it your fault, Director Wu, that you are the one who is crooked at the top?"
Zhou Dongsheng said this in a teasing tone, and the two of them couldn't help but smile knowingly, as they say, birds of a feather flock together.
"Hey, there's me too. It's said that women hold up half the sky. I'm the only female wolf warrior..." Ni Ni said excitedly.
Today, thanks to this movie, she has finally ushered in the second spring of her film career, shattering the rumor that she has no representative works since her debut as a "Mou Girl" who reached the peak of her career.
Now, as a unique "female wolf warrior", her career is booming and she is receiving many invitations.
However, Ni Ni was not blinded by the flowers and applause. At this moment, she knew clearly which thigh she should hold tightly...
"By the way, Mr. Jay, I heard that we will continue to cooperate in the next movie you invest in, so please take me along..." Ni Ni said pitifully.
"You have to talk to Director Guo about this matter. As an investor, how can I have a say..." Zhou Dongsheng said jokingly.
This is a milestone work that represents Chinese science fiction films and is also the beginning of the Chinese film industry, so it was natural to arrange a role for him.
It’s just that given Ni Ni’s current status, she must be aiming for the female lead role. However, in Zhou Dongsheng’s impression, within the established framework of “The Wandering Earth”, the female lead role may not be suitable for Ni Ni.
Although there are many actors who still play young girls at an older age, but... there is no reason for Zhou Dongsheng to ignore the beauty of the garden and promote one flower, right?
Well, after all, Zhou Dongsheng has no other hope in this life, he just hopes to learn from Master Ji Xianlin, our generation’s role model!
As the three of them were joking around, they soon walked into the venue. At this time, the huge venue was already full of various guests.
With Zhou Dongsheng's appearance, he quickly became the focus of everyone's attention. Now Zhou Dongsheng is obviously the most important person among all the people present, without a doubt.
Zhou Dongsheng calmly came to the center of the stage and sat down. Yang Luyu beside him immediately smiled.
"Mr. Jay, you're finally here. We were just talking about you..." With the completion of a new round of strategic financing, the market value of Wenxue Network skyrocketed, and the net worth of its founder Yang Luyu naturally also rose.
Before Zhou Dongsheng showed up, he was naturally the focus of the whole event as the organizer, and many people took the initiative to come forward and get close to him.
As the influence of the Golden Second Award continues to grow, among the many guests present today, in addition to internet celebrities and stars, there are naturally also the driving forces behind them.
Although these people rarely show up in public, there is no doubt that they are the masterminds behind the scenes.
Many of them are familiar faces to Zhou Dongsheng. From Huang Xiaoming’s century wedding to social occasions such as the Red Man Festival, Zhou Dongsheng has dealt with many of these people.
Although their positions have not changed much, if this is used as a reference, Zhou Dongsheng's position has undergone a drastic change.
He moved step by step from the periphery to the center of the stage.
Especially as the news that "Dongsheng Overseas Fund" had raked in tens of billions of US dollars became widely known, Zhou Dongsheng naturally became the object of everyone's fawning.
This is simply a walking God of Wealth!
Zhou Dongsheng was naturally well aware of these subtle changes. For someone like him who had clearly set the goal of pursuing fame and fortune, wasn't this what he wanted?
Therefore, Zhou Dongsheng naturally accepted it all.
However, after a brief greeting, the Golden Second Award ceremony had already begun. Therefore, everyone was not in a hurry, but instead focused their attention on the stage.
Yang Luyu, who was originally sitting next to Zhou Dongsheng, appeared on the stage and was unveiled by the platform's helmsman himself. It is not difficult to see the importance of the third Golden Second Award.
"Welcome all guests to the Golden Second Award. The Golden Second Award has come to its third year. The establishment proposed by our strategic investor Zhou Dongsheng, with the original intention of creating an 'Oscar in the short video field'..."
"Today, the short video field is developing rapidly. We are very honored to see that the Golden Second Award has not deviated from its original intention and has always set a clear industry benchmark for the short video industry!"
“In order to keep up with the rapid development of the short video industry and allow more creators to receive feedback on their creations, we will set up a new quarterly award on the platform - the Silver Time Award, to encourage them…”
“In the future, we will continue to uphold the principle of not forgetting our original aspirations, better encourage the creation of high-quality short video content, and strive to make Douyin a benchmark for the short video industry and lead the development of the industry!”
Yang Luyu was in high spirits and performed with great force on the stage. He threw out a big bomb at the beginning, which shocked many creators.
After all, although the annual Golden Second Award is of great value, as an annual award, there are more people than meat. How easy is it for creators to win the crown?
It can be said that "the flowers are the same year after year, but the people are different year after year"!
To this end, Douyin, which has received strategic financing, naturally needs to convert funds into competitiveness as soon as possible. The best way is still to contribute to the platform ecosystem.
After all, when one person succeeds, everyone around him will benefit. The progress of a platform cannot be separated from the support of creators. When the platform achieves phased results, it will naturally give back to the creators appropriately. Only in this way can a virtuous cycle of platform ecology be formed.
Different from the main competition unit, the Golden Second Award, it is naturally a good decision to set up a quarterly award, the Silver Hour Award, to encourage creators.
Compared with the simple and crude "1 billion subsidies" of Toutiao next door, this temptation of gaining both fame and fortune is undoubtedly better!
A journey of a hundred miles begins with a single step. If you want to distance yourself from your competitors, you naturally have to press on and strike while the iron is hot.
The Golden Second Award is undoubtedly the most suitable time, no doubt about it!
