Chapter 59: The Birth of an Empire

Tengyun's market value, relying on the content industry skyrocketed, at the end of 2009 rushed to the $50 billion mark, with the advent of 2010, finally showed a decline, with facts proved that its method of digging content to make money team, can only be short-lived.

The last person who really laughs at the content industry in the future era of artificial intelligence must be the platform provider that focuses on artificial intelligence push and search platforms. Instead of making quick money, which is a short-sighted content provider who follows the trend.

After more than two years of struggle, by 2010, Zhang Yiming's artificial intelligence assistant team finally came up with a push artificial intelligence for Gu Cheng that was convinced by the whole society.

The value of all music, games, movie clicks, installs, and subscriptions is disintegrating little by little in the slow but firm rolling forward of the wheel of history. EVEN APPLE'S APP-STORE MOBILE GAME PAID DOWNLOAD RANKING HAS BECOME AN EXISTENCE THAT IS GRADUALLY DISDAINED BY USERS.

"It doesn't matter what is popular, what matters is what I like."

"It doesn't matter what people give me, what matters is that I decide what I want to take."

This kind of slogan, with Gu Cheng's strong publicity, finally took root in the hearts of the people in China, and then went to Japan and South Korea, and finally became popular in Europe and the United States.

GOOGLE, AMAZON, AND FACECHAT HAVE EXCLAIMED THAT GU CHENG'S NEW MEDIA VALUE THEORY IS SIMPLY A FAST ERA.

The number of domestic users of YY/Renren has risen from more than 400 million at the end of 2008 to 530 million at the end of 09, 690 million at the end of 10, and 840 million at the end of 11 - this data is wider than the people covered by WeChat and Alipay in the middle of 2014.

The dosage of YY overseas version and YY net has also developed like a devastating devastation.

Of the 200 million citizens of Japan and South Korea, 120 million were swallowed by whales.

DONGYI'S LOCAL MOBILE SOCIAL SOFTWARE SUCH AS KAKAOTALK, WHICH WAS SUPPOSED TO APPEAR, AND LINE, THE FIRST CHAT SOFTWARE IN FUSO OPERATED BY NHN-JAPAN, A SUBSIDIARY OF NHN, THE OPERATOR OF KAKAOTALK, HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO DEVELOP IN THIS ERA, BUT HAVE BEEN DIRECTLY CRUSHED BY YY.

Of course, the original design of Kakao-Talk, which is "more convenient to share photos and can also automatically beautify", and even technical features such as "there are a lot of dynamic cute emojis" such as Line, are naturally eclectic and complement each other by YY in the new era.

In the United States, FACECHAT replaced SnapChat, and the convergence of all the yellow and drug hormones and social forces localized in the United States, but it is several times larger than SnapChat, with a valuation of more than $10 billion in 09, and it soared to nearly $40 billion after its listing in 2011 - however, compared with Facebook, which broke through $200 billion in an instant after the IPO of another time and space, Zuckerberg can only achieve at least two to three percent of its original size, Obviously, it is impossible to compete with Gu Cheng's YY overseas version and YY.com for the first place in Europe and the United States.

800 million 4 domestic users, 100 million 200 million Japanese and Korean users, and 200 million Southeast Asian users. 430 million users in Europe, the United States and Australia, and 170 million users in the rest of the world. By the end of 2011, there were a staggering 1.8 billion users of YY Network Technology worldwide.

At the annual meeting, Gu Cheng announced that he must challenge to break through the 2 billion mark in the new year and become an unprecedented terrifying existence.

……

In the past year or so, in the entertainment media circle, Gu Cheng's harvest has also been full of money.

At the beginning of 01, at the 83rd Oscars, "The Artist", directed by Li Yan, written by Gu Cheng, and starring Quan Baoya as the heroine, unsurprisingly won the Oscar for Best Picture that year, and Gu Cheng's rewritten script also won the Best Screenplay Award, in addition to 6 other nominations. Among them, Li Yu himself was also nominated again for Best Director, but did not win the award.

And before that, the film had actually won the Golden Bear at the Berlin Film Festival. It's just that because the Golden Bear Award was won by a Chinese director, the news was not so sensational.

When the news came, the whole country rejoiced.

After all, this is a film shot by a Chinese, and it won the Oscar for Best Picture for the first time.

Prior to this, the highest achievement of the Chinese was only to rely on Li Yu's signboard to fight for a best director with "Brokeback Mountain" in 06.

This is a breakthrough in history.

Gu Cheng's position as a leader in the art circle is also completely unshakable. He was not only the greatest businessman and investor, but also the most art-savvy man, and was dubbed "Contemporary Lorenzo" and "Leader of the Second Renaissance" in newspapers and television.

IN DONGYI CHINA, ALTHOUGH QUAN BAOYA IS ONLY NOMINATED FOR THE BEST ACTRESS WHO RELIED ON A CERTAIN SCALE OF MONEY LOBBY TO GET IN, IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO WIN THE AWARD, BUT IT IS ALSO SOMETHING THAT MAKES DONGYI SO EXCITED THAT HE DOESN'T WANT IT - ACCORDING TO HOLLYWOOD PRACTICE, AS LONG AS THE FILM ITSELF IS ELIGIBLE FOR THE BEST PICTURE NOMINATION, AS LONG AS THE SPECIFIC ACTOR'S PERFORMANCE IS NOT SUBSTANDARD, THE NOMINATION LOBBY WITH TENS OF THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS A TICKET CAN STILL BE LOBBIED.

At the same time, "The Social Network," another half-documentary, half-feature film, was also nominated for the Oscar for Best Picture, but only ranked fifth out of all the films.

It is said that this movie has nothing to do with Gu Cheng, Gu Cheng neither invested money nor participated in the acting, let alone interfered in the script. In another world, the film was supposed to depict Zuckerberg's entrepreneurial story.

It's a pity that now Zuckerberg is so miserably suppressed by Gu Cheng. In addition, Zack's background experience has become "first working for Gu Cheng as a junior brother for two years, and then he set up his own door", so his story naturally lacks legend, and not so many people in the film industry are willing to lick him and write books and talk about it.

Then this "Social Network" became a documentary about Gu Cheng's hardships in starting a business by a Chinese director - although the Chinese director and screenwriter never interviewed Gu Cheng even once during the filming of this film.

However, a film that films Gu Cheng's life and deeds can enter the Hollywood Best Picture nomination circle, and you can also see the radiation power of its immortals and chickens and dogs.

The encouragement from all sides did not last too long, and soon it became refractory to the continuous stimulation, just like after a man has been stimulated too much, once the climax has passed, there will always be a period of time when no amount of stimulation can be hard.

The good news is only a year, and in the second year to the beginning of November, "In the Clouds" detonated the world again, but the reaction of the Chinese people was relatively numb.

Gu Cheng's grand trilogy came to a complete end.

"Best Picture: "In the Clouds"!"

"Best Director Award: Gu Cheng!"

"Best Actor Award: Gu Cheng!"

……

A series of honors have challenged the cognition of the Chinese people, stimulated the nerves of the Chinese people, and also made the Chinese people realize that the media discourse and ideological export power of this earth have begun to gradually tilt.

In fact, after Gu Cheng's globally credible content distribution platform reaches its peak, why does he care about the Oscars?

Why should Chinese people go to the United States to participate in the domestic awards of a United States?

After "In the Clouds", Gu Cheng will not let the films he invests in go to the United States to participate in any awards.

The term "East Asian ideology" first appeared on the desks of experts and think tanks in various countries that study the issue of ideological import/export, and has become an important concept.

……

The clock of history slowly moves towards 2012, the year considered the end of the world by the Mayan calendar.

Gu Cheng and the women around him enjoyed a peaceful life in harmony and stability.

Since the filming of "The Artist" and "In the Clouds" and all the awards she participated in have come to an end, Kwon Bo-ah has completely retired from the front line of the media circle.

She was nominated for the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress, what else can she pursue in this life?

won the award, she knew she didn't have that strength. Even the nomination is more or less based on her own technical characteristics, which coincides with the needs of the movie, and is tailor-made for her by Gu Cheng.

Other honors are no longer of value to her.

After being a guest of the K-POP-STAR judges for several years, with the cultivation of newcomers, Kim Tae-yeon and Lim Yoon-a also have a lot of singing skills and musical accomplishments in these girls, and at the same time, the popular substitutes are available, and Kwon Bo-ah has no need to show up in the circle of judges.

She chose An Anxin to be the president of the entertainment company, spending more time with her fiancé and taking care of his daily life.

She is 25 years old, and she has the best time for a girl to eat youth dinner. Fortunately, she doesn't have to eat youth rice.

Gu Cheng is also 28 years old, but as a man who is already the richest man in the world, this is an age that is too young to be young and envied by countless people.

In fact, as long as you can be the richest man in the world, no matter how old you are, no woman thinks this man is old.

On this day, an ordinary morning, it seemed that he saw the emptiness in his fiancée's heart, and Gu Cheng quietly and indifferently proposed: "This year, you don't have anything to do, right?" ”

"No, what's wrong."

"Let's get married."

"Hmmm......"

"I don't want to make a noise, after all, the relationship between you and me, although it is legally allowed, is the fourth generation after all. In your Dongyi country, there are many people who are afraid of the old school. ”

"Hmm."

"Don't feel aggrieved?"

"How could it be. It's been a lot of trouble all these years, and I don't want the wedding scenery to be lively. Quan Baoya's final answer was very quiet.

Yes, they are already famous and don't want to be famous, who cares about the scenery at the wedding?

"Then listen to me, don't invite too many guests. Specifically, it's up to me to arrange it for you. Gu Cheng warmly proposed, and didn't say much.

On November 5 of this year, Kwon Bo-ah's 26th birthday. In the Jiangnan Association in Qiantang, the vigilance is strict, tight on the outside and loose on the inside.

Nearly 100 wealthy guests, gathered together, scattered in the Jiangnan Club garden composed of seven or eight ancient style buildings, staggered.

There is no news, no press release, the secrecy is very good, and all the media do not know that Gu Cheng, the richest man in the world, will get married on this day.

It's just that this day has just fallen into the night, and countless Qiantang citizens, and even the citizens of Gusu, Wuxing, Huiji, and Hujiang within a radius of nearly 200 kilometers, have seen a splendid scene.

Countless apparently not fireworks, but meteor showers, piercing the night sky in a colorful way.

It is really a colorful meteor shower, with golden sodium meteor balls wrapped around the outer skin of magnesium-aluminum alloy, as well as green magnesium-aluminum alloy, orange lithium metal, red calcium metal, and cyan copper......

"How is that possible! There was a meteor shower today! And it's a colorful meteor shower you've never heard of! Hurry up and make a wish! Millions of people looked up at this natural spectacle and were shocked beyond measure.

Sitting on the rooftop of Jiangnan Club's own small building, Gu Cheng held Quan Baoya in his arms and let his sister snuggle up to him. Pointing to the meteor shower in the sky, he explained without romance:

"A few days ago, I found a satellite bought by a company in Fuso - they successfully applied for the Tokyo 2020 Olympics this year, and they were supposed to prepare an artificial meteor shower for the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games. Flame metal balls are loaded into artificial satellites, launched and re-dropped back into the atmosphere, each of which is only a little larger than a ping pong ball, which can ensure that it will be fully rubbed and burned in the atmosphere and will not fall to the ground and hurt people.

The Fuso people were still looking for countries to develop corresponding low-cost rockets. However, I tried to save trouble, directly used domestic rockets, and talked about two commercial launches, the Long March 3, one launch can send a satellite containing 10,000 flame-colored metal balls to low earth orbit, the cost of 80 million US dollars. I launched 3 rockets tonight to ensure that the meteor shower can be seen within a radius of 200 kilometers. ”

What happened to the wedding of the richest man in the world, spending $200 million on an artificial meteor shower? At worst, it is also to help humans verify a new technology. The city will play a little and can be forgiven.

"Remember when I started from scratch 12 years ago?"

"How could I not remember that I was only 14 ...... at that time It's 26 in a flash. ”

"I'll go with you to see the meteor shower and stay on this earth. Let your tears fall on my shoulder......"

"If you believe in my love, only be brave for you, and you will see where happiness is......"

Gu Cheng did it. In a way that the world can't imagine.

Kwon Bo-ah's tears quietly fell on his shoulders.
