Chapter 49: Blooming Everywhere

Legendary Entertainment was IPO on the NASDAQ on February 9,

After raising the money, Gu Cheng and Pan Jieying handled public relations affairs in Mi for a few days, attending various activities every day, and were busy until the weekend. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

The time in the United States is half a day behind Huaxia, so Pan Jieying arranged an early flight on Sunday morning - the flight time in the air is 14 hours, plus the half-day time difference, if you sleep on the plane, you will land in Hujiang just on Monday morning to work.

Considering the jet lag of sleeping on the plane during the day on Sunday, it is natural to have an all-nighter on Saturday night. Add to that Saturday, February 14, which happens to be Valentine's Day, and New York has become almost a city that never sleeps.

Gu Cheng, who was still in the actor mode, had to adjust the door, just right to show off his fake affection, and go to Madison Square Garden to watch a concert.

The stage on Valentine's Day night belongs to Britney Spears. Now there are only a few old faces in the national anthem scene, and even Avril Lavril is still too young, and she only has one album in hand and is not even qualified to open a special show. Those singers who are familiar with the post-10s generation in Asia have not debuted even now.

Gu Cheng wasn't very interested in Britney's English songs. drank and chatted with Li Ying throughout the whole process in the box.

"I'll leave tomorrow morning, the commercialization planning of face recognition technology, you keep an eye on it, don't let Zack do it by his temperament. He can do what he thinks is interesting and cool, and he can do it without leakage, and the proposition homework is a little worse. And he doesn't understand the national conditions of China, and there will definitely be an accident if he messes around, and YY has worked hard for you here.

Don't underestimate Zuckerberg's talent and ambition, he's just young and inexperienced. But I believe that he will grow very quickly, and if you give him three years, his achievements and talents will eventually surpass yours. ”

"I know that I always thought I was a genius at the beginning, and after more contact, I realized that there are smart people in this world, and there is a heaven outside the sky." Li Ying frankly admitted the gap, and there was no unhappiness or arrogance in her tone.

She's very self-aware. I am an old bird who has been working for four years, and I was also a top student who skipped a grade back then, and I was the CMO of an IT company before coming to YY.com. Xiao Zha has only worked for half a year, or a year of studying, and it is normal for her to be controlled by applause at the moment, but Li Ying has the deepest experience of the horror of the "acceleration" of Xiao Zha's growth.

Gu Cheng was also very pleased to see that Li Ying could recognize the reality: "That's good, if you can't take the right posture to appease him, there are only two results, either force him to grow his wings and start a new stove by himself, or let him be the CEO of YY in the future, and then continue to increase the management shareholding ratio." I don't care about money and power, I'm afraid that there will be a difference in business philosophy at that time. ”

Gu Cheng is not greedy for money, and even what he said when he was on Donald's "Flying Huang Tengda" program was sincere, not pretending. Money is a bastard, it is enough to meet the needs of his career goals, and it is useful to have more.

If giving a little stake can get Zuckerberg, then give it. But if what Xiao Zha wants to do is not in line with his philosophy, then there is no way to part ways in the future.

"Rest assured, I won't let this happen. By the way, I've already submitted my application for naturalization. I think the next time you come to the United States, it is no surprise that I will be a United States. Li Ying easily gave Gu Cheng a psychological preparation.

"Really? Thank you. ”

"You say thank you? You know I don't care about thanks. It seemed that knowing Gu Cheng was about to leave, Li Ying's tone was a little lonely, "There's a question I haven't figured out, a girl doesn't want you to be responsible, she just wants to enjoy it*** Why do you still refuse?" Do you feel sorry for me? I've forgiven you, and I don't feel sorry for me like that. ”

"Sister Li, you and I are still too naïve about this kind of thing, I don't want to talk about this issue in depth - you can exempt me from my guilt for you, but do you have the right to exempt me from her guilt on behalf of other women? I think this may be the cultural difference brought about by your higher education and work in the United States, and the Chinese people are different from the people of the United States.

Man is an animal suspended in a web of meaning woven by himself, and the intensity of any pleasure depends on its scarcity. I don't lack love, I don't lack sex, I don't lack negative emotions like 'conquest and possessiveness'. Have you ever seen Bill Gates need to hang dozens of gold chains? Collecting women is just an upgrade of the nouveau riche collecting gold chains. ”

"Okay, I'm not going to talk about it. Happy Valentine's Day and a nice trip! "When a girl talks about this kind of thing, it's even more embarrassing to talk too much. The clay figure still has three points of earthiness, and Li Ying will not shake M no matter how much she compromises, so she will not repeatedly ask for humiliation.

The first two times she dared to take the initiative to ask for pleasure, it was because she felt that she was still a little sure, and since there was no hope this time, why should she be humiliated. She is a very calm and slightly utilitarian woman, who will not chase men, so it is inevitable that she will make jokes at the beginning as if she were talking about business.

If you're not in a good mood, get drunk and forget about it.

The two drank until the midnight concert ended, and then they were drunk.

Li Ying took advantage of being half drunk and fell into Gu Cheng's arms and took the opportunity to eat tofu, and by the way, Gu Cheng said a lot. As she got to know Gu Cheng's heart more and more, she felt more and more that she was too impulsive at the beginning, and she didn't know what kind of person the other party was, so she started casually.

She once took it for granted that even if Gu Cheng had women, there were not many. Therefore, there should be a strong need to collect and possess women like most men to satisfy the vanity of straight men - just as many virgins will have low self-esteem, always feeling that "if they can't even go up to women, they will definitely be looked down upon".

But the bad thing is that Gu Cheng doesn't have this kind of inferiority, and he never seems to need to prove himself through a woman.

It's a mystery of confidence.

In this state, even if Gu Cheng is affectionate, he will not consider the same type of woman to experience several - who makes Li Ying's temperament and appearance highly overlap with Pan Jieying? Even if it was fresh, Gu Cheng would not look for her.

Of course, it's also to blame that she's late.

After thinking about all this, Li Ying, who was drunk, finally came to light.

Gu Cheng asked the driver to send Li Ying back to the hotel, and then he went to the airport with Pan Jieying himself, so that he had to vent the evil fire that was provoked.

Pan Jieying couldn't stand eating Yuting twice a month, so she took a box of Okamoto on the plane.

People over seven inches like Okamoto, for this kind of person, the touch is light and delicate, but they don't care about the thickness and beads brought by ****.

……

Gu Cheng returned to Qiantang refreshed, and many new projects for the New Year were already in full swing.

During his time in the United States, there was no progress in the mature businesses of Alipay and Dingdang.com, which were nothing more than snowballing step by step. The action is relatively large, mainly in the film and television department and SNS social products.

"The Legend of Sword and Fairy" has started filming before the Lantern Festival, and now it has been filmed for more than ten days, and Liu Hui reported that everything is progressing very well. Zhao Liying, a draft female newcomer who has no acting skills, after two months of assault training, it is no longer a problem to master some roles with thin personalities, and she has also practiced the basic technical skills of camera positioning and lighting.

Gu Cheng, the director of the film, did not use Guan Hu, who was specifically in charge of "Condor", mainly because Guan Hu's path is not suitable for this kind of bright Xianxia film, and the original shooting was more serious things. Before the Chinese New Year, Liu Hui used the connections in the circle to say a lot of good things and invited Director Li of Tang Film Studio to direct.

Director Li himself is quite senior, and at first he couldn't look down on this kind of project of "the director is determined after the actor role is selected", after all, the directors in the circle are a little temperamental, how can the casting assistant director say that he will use whoever he wants, and he has no opinion at all. Moreover, the director decides the protagonist candidate, which was originally the unspoken rule of the director's welfare in the circle, but now the cooperation model of Eslite Film and Television undoubtedly deprives some directors of their interests other than remuneration.

A few years ago, Liu Hui also asked Gu Cheng for this matter, and finally added hundreds of thousands of revenge, and promised that there would be several Xianxia productions in the future, such as "Zhu Xian", all of which stably asked him to cooperate, and signed a guaranteed salary regardless of the results, which can be regarded as moving the other party to cooperate for a long time.

The so-called guaranteed remuneration project that does not regard the results is nothing more than the same as those literary websites in later generations who signed contracts with the gods, giving a guaranteed buyout, no matter how good the last book was written, how much money was sold, it was a way to win people's hearts.

After the resources of all parties were coordinated, the progress of "Fairy Sword" has been steadily advancing, and now two or three episodes have been filmed. With the proficiency of the personnel running-in, it can be completed in May, and another two months of special post-production time will be left, and the summer file can be released on time. (The post-production and filming of the TV series are not completely separated, some work is interspersed, and even the director does not stare at the editing the whole time, the editor can do other special effects after cutting and nodding to the director.) )

On the other hand, Wu Yue Satellite TV's annual hottest talent show "Girls' Generation" was also released for the first time on the weekend of Valentine's Day. The content includes the opening event, as well as the first round of preliminary round in the East China region; There will be daily highlights of the show from now on, and on Saturday there will be a three-hour selection clip for the division, with one division on camera every week.

As for the selection results and the list, they will be announced on Renren. During the audition stage, all netizens can vote for likes on everyone's online website to contribute to supporting their idols. Although the results of the selection are not entirely based on the votes of netizens, and there is a greater proportion of judges' scores, after all, it mobilizes the emotions of netizens.

As for the semi-finals and finals in the future, Renren will also open more fancy support channels.

Naturally, the promotion of the two products of Renren and YY has also soared to another fast lane with the hit of "Girls' Generation".

In the first two months of 2004, the number of users of YY and QQ increased by about 10 million each, which is equal in terms of increment, but considering that the base of YY is much smaller, the user scale of these two applications has reached 40 million: 80 million, and YY has half the volume of QQ.

I heard that Tengyun is also considering the road of "the enemy of the enemy is a friend", and pulled Mango Satellite TV, which failed to cooperate with Gu Cheng at the beginning, into his own alliance circle, and used the "Super Girl" that will be broadcast in April to win back.

But unfortunately, Tengyun first needs to deal with the listing on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange in March.

Historically, Tengyun Company, like Shengda Network, was listed in 2004, but Tengyun chose the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. Now there's only one month left.

Before completing this step, Tengyun, who is in a tight position, has no spare money to make all kinds of moths.
