Chapter 2104: What Happened to Slack
"I'm going to make a new movie. ”
Many fans who pay attention to Park Min-ah discovered her new news for the first time.
People who don't know can't help but put a series of question marks.
However, old fans know that Park Ji-hoon occasionally uses her account to post some updates, although the time is uncertain and the number of times is very small, there are still many people who pay special attention to her because of this, including many artists.
Park Ji-hoon also knew, so he deliberately used her account to post such a news.
Generally speaking, in the works of well-known directors, the protagonists and even the main supporting roles are designated by the producer, which is behind the "hard work" of all parties, especially the major brokerage companies, in order to make their own artists able to appear in the works, they must make a lot of effort. Therefore, Park Ji-hoon is not very keen on the actor business of the agency, as long as there are good works, there is no need to worry about the actors.
Nowadays, even the top actors are impossible to refuse. W's invitation.
The efforts of the brokerage company are from many aspects, and it is definitely a very important thing to pull feelings.
First of all, it is important to know which producer is in charge of the project, which director directs it, etc.
Some producers, big directors who can influence casting, etc., are often more mavericks, so they need to do what they like. It's not a derogatory term, at least not all, for example, if someone values the image and acting skills of an actor, the agency needs to select the right actor from its own subsidiary. For these people, some bribes are useless because they don't care.
For example, Park Ji-hoon.
It can't be said that he is impersonal, but he definitely doesn't look down on bribery.
Even so, there are still countless brokerage companies, and even actors and agents themselves who are eager to flock to it.
Shortcut!
His works represent a shortcut to fame!
Some time ago, the gathering of "NEWNY" members sparked a wave of discussion on the Internet about the popularity of artists in his works.
Too much!
No matter how it develops later, in the period after starring in the work, the popularity and career will definitely usher in a significant increase!
After that, that's your own business, even the brokerage company can't protect you for a lifetime.
Moreover, as an artist, especially an actor, being proactive is a must-have!
Not long after Park Ji-hoon's news was released, many actors and economists began to secretly inquire about the news.
Beat around the bush and always be able to with. The people in the W Film and Television Department are involved, and even Park Ji-hoon can't put an end to this kind of personal contact. Of course, he didn't do it either, and there are some rules that still have their own reasons.
Park Ji-hoon wants this situation, there are more people, so it is convenient to choose the actor he likes.
Some actors who are not well-known, even in big brokerage companies, may not have a chance.
When you see the message, you can take the initiative as soon as possible.
As for whether to follow the path of the brokerage company or come directly to the interview himself, it is not for him to worry about.
He just did it willfully.
There could have been another choice.
After the distribution, continue to take the tofu for a walk in the community.
I usually play at home, and I rarely have the opportunity to come to the community, even the steady Labrador is a little excited.
Originally, Park Ji-hoon was going to go shopping by himself and take it with him by the way, but now he has to accompany it.
Have a great time with it all at once.
At 20:40, I returned home. Excellent reading books
Park Min-ah, Taeyeon, and the others seem to have just returned, and they are sorting out all the items they bought in the living room, and Jessica is also there.
"Why did my brother remember to take tofu out to play?" asked Park Min-ah in the first sentence.
Usually he plays with tofu in the living room and yard at most, and rarely goes out.
"It's not me who takes it out to play, it's it who takes me to play!" Park Ji-hoon lay directly on the sofa, looking tired.
"Flutter!" several people laughed.
"Did OPPA wipe Tofu's feet?" asked Yuli.
"Brushed it off. Park Ji-hoon was lying on the sofa on all fours, too lazy to move.
"OPPA, try on the fit!" Taeyeon said suddenly.
I bought him a few sets of clothes too.
Although most of the time he wears his own brand but now. The W brand belongs to the light luxury class, which is not suitable for some occasions. Of course, he cares too much about it, and he no longer needs clothes to set off himself, even if he wears casually, the media will only praise him for being frugal, but there are always occasions that need to be more formal.
What's more, there are the clothes worn inside!
"No, just the right size. Park Ji-hoon looked resistant.
"Can the size be the same as the wear!" Krystal snorted before Taeyeon could speak.
In the past, very early on, Park Ji-hoon wanted her to help him refer to his clothes.
Park Ji-hoon stood up helplessly.
Of course, just tried on two sets of clothes. Wear it inside, go back to the bedroom and try again.
"Not bad. Taeyeon exchanged opinions and nodded.
Park Ji-hoon was finally relieved, lay back on the sofa, and picked up his phone.
It's not about watching live broadcasts or watching news, but about browsing Slack movies and TV groups to pick the right team.
Speaking of Slack, the enterprise collaboration app that quickly became popular and became a unicorn did not die halfway or fall down, but has been making steady progress at its own pace.
In 2016, Slack launched voice and video services that touched on Microsoft's core interests in Skype.
As a result, the then executive vice president of Microsoft tried to buy Slack, and the offer came out, up to $8 billion. For Slack, which was valued at $4 billion at the time, the price was hard to refuse.
However, the plan was opposed by Microsoft founder Bill Gates and Microsoft's current CEO Satya Nadella.
A few months later, the executive vice president left Microsoft, reportedly in connection with the incident.
This is a strategy within Microsoft, and while it is related to Slack, it does not have a great impact on Slack. However, after the negative acquisition of Slack, Microsoft immediately developed a software with highly overlapping functions with Slack!
"Microsoft Teams" is the name of this software, and its purpose is self-evident.
At that time, this news had a great impact on Slack, and even attracted a lot of voices in the industry.
Fortunately, Slack survived and used the overseas channels of Park Ji-hoon's company to get its foreign business up. In particular, the business in Asia has made great progress, with 10 million daily active users and more than 55,000 paying users!
In 2017, Amazon wanted to buy Slack for $9 billion, but was rejected by My Investment, which is the majority shareholder.
At that time, it had already begun to invest a lot of resources to develop its overseas business.
In mid-2017, Slack began targeting its go-to-market plans, which are expected to materialize in 2019.
Truth be told, Slack is more suitable for a flat management model, that is, employees are highly motivated, rather than a company management model with obvious hierarchies, high centralization, and the boss thinks that everything is under control.
In addition to the reason why Park Ji-hoon can be popularized in .W, the company atmosphere is different from that of traditional Korean companies, and it is more popular with young people.
