140. Return to China
"Ye, this is the holy place of shijie musicals, Broadway, how can it be, dare not feel the breath of music rushing to your face?" Andre asked Ye Sumang with an intoxicated expression.
Ye Sumang just smiled at this and did not answer.
Because Andre's words are really exaggerated, Broadway may be the most famous musical mecca on Shijie, but it is not for nothing that Shijie can compete with it, at least Ye Sumang himself knows more than three.
The reason why Ye Sumang came to Broadway this time is also very simple, just because the style of Broadway musicals tends to be elegant, natural, and integrates the strengths of hundreds of schools, which is more in line with modern development, especially the overall tone of Broadway opera is slightly black, which is similar to his upcoming filming of "What If? Love has a similar style.
Perhaps seeing that Ye Sumang didn't have much attention to shopping, Andre proposed to invite Ye Sumang to watch an opera directed by himself.
"Ye, I think you should take a look at my work on the spot, which can also make our future cooperation more enjoyable."
"Oh? Of course you can, is it the "Star"? Ye Sumang asked with great interest, because after he had only seen Andre's works in some video materials, he said that if he watched the opera, he would have to watch the scene, so Ye Sumang was also very interested in this.
"Oh, that's right, it's the "Star", and now it's a little famous." Andrei mentioned his good work with a smug expression on his face.
"Star" tells a poignant aiqing story between men and women, the hero and heroine of the story are bonded because of a star, which leads to a tortuous love experience, and finally because of secular prejudices, they can't get together, but the star in the sky that witnesses their aiqing has been shining......
It was the first time Ye Sumang had watched a musical live. It's a completely different feeling from the film.
At the scene, the actors of the musical really heard their voices clearly into their ears, and the feeling was a thousand times more wonderful than listening to it from the sound, and they could enjoy the set of the musical and the actors' movements up close, which was also a good learning experience for Ye Sumang.
The work lasts a total of two and a half hours, and Ye Sumang sees it from beginning to end. He never left his seat once, and Andre accompanied him throughout the show.
"How is it, Ye, do you feel after reading it?" When the musical ended, everyone left, only Ye Sumang and Andre remained in place and did not move, and after the people were almost gone, Andre took the lead in asking Ye Sumang with an aftertaste expression.
"It's a great feeling, it's more deeply rooted than watching it on video." Ye Sumang opened his eyes. As if aftertasted, he said, "It's really good." ”
"Haha, if you like it, do you want me to introduce you to these musical actors?" Andre was praised and happily daxiao.
Ye Sumang politely refused Andre's proposal, and then Ye Sumang had dinner with Andre, and after finalizing the time of his visit to China, Ye Sumang returned to the hotel.
After a night. Ye Su Mang set off again, but this time his destination was no longer Broadway. Rather, it's FaceBook's headquarters in California.
This is the second purpose of Ye Sumang's coming to the United States, he wants to follow Mark to carefully discuss the next development of FaceBook.
You must know that at this time, FaceBook has developed extremely large under the combination of Ye Sumang's capital and creativity. More than one million photos are uploaded to the FaceBook website every day, and the number of users worldwide has exceeded 100 million, and the growth rate is still increasing, like a snowball. The speed of the outbreak is impressive.
For this reason, many angel funds have come to the door, hoping to invest in their own businesses, but all of them have been rejected by Ye Sumang, and he is not short of money. FaceBook's development needs can be fully supplied by his own funds, and now FaceBook itself has been able to make independent profits, basically without Ye Sumang's financial support.
Ye expects that with the continuous popularity of the Internet, the number of FaceBook users will triple in another year, and the company will become a big treasury, and Ye Sumang can also use it to support his own arrogant dreams.
"Ye, how is our company, isn't it cool." Mark excitedly walked in the office building with Ye Sumang, constantly introducing some of his favorite facilities.
Ye Sumang nodded while watching, he had to admit that Mark was a very free-thinking child, the entire office building was transformed by him full of free atmosphere, lounges, recreation rooms, office locations, etc. were almost transformed into an open environment by him, so that employees can work when they are playing, and they can also play when they are working.
"There's one more surprise, wait a minute." While Ye Sumang was curiously browsing some entertainment facilities, Mark suddenly said.
"Oh?" Ye Sumang glanced at Mark curiously, and the latter dragged him towards the top floor.
FaceBook's office location at this time is actually not large, and soon Mark took Ye Sumang to the door of an office, Ye Sumang instantly understood that this was the office that Mark reserved for himself.
"Go in and see how it goes, I'm sure you'll like it." At this time, Mark was like a child who wanted to show off his excellent work, and his eyes were full of anticipation and excitement when he looked at Ye Sumang.
"Of course." Ye Sumang said and pushed open the door of the office, walked in, and was immediately shocked by the scene in front of him.
Because the whole office is full of science and technology, Ye Sumang's first instinct when he walked into his office was not his own office, but into the laboratory of a scientist in the movie, the pink and white room is a whole wall of LED screens, and the furnishings in the table are also very simple, there is only one sofa coffee table group and a set of desks, but all the things placed on it are scientific and technological products, and I see not a little bit of green plants, especially on the desk, there is also a set of large monitors composed of nine computer screens, This made Ye Sumang not know what to say at this moment.
"Mark, is it necessary to get to this point?" Ye Sumang patted the computer screen next to him with a smile and a smile, he really had a new understanding of these IT maniacs.
“WHY? Don't you like it? Mark asked, puzzled, "I think this kind of room is so wonderful!" You must know that there are some things here that I am not willing to use myself, and I have left them for you. ”
"But I think what I need more is some plants, I prefer to be close to nature, and as for these computers, just leave the necessary equipment, and you can take the rest."
"Oh, well!" Ye Sumang's serious attitude made Mark only reply dejectedly.
"Forget it, let's not mention this office, how is the video website I asked you to prepare?" Ye Sumang ignored Mark's appearance and directly put forward the purpose of his trip.
At the mention of work, Mark immediately recovered and became excited.
"The video website has been basically built, and it has been trial-operated on the website once, and netizens have a strong reaction and feel that this song function is very convenient."
"And what about the disadvantages?" Ye Sumang will not be carried away by the good news, he is here to solve the trouble and propose the next decision.
Sure enough, as soon as Ye Sumang asked, Mark immediately put away his excited expression and seriously analyzed the pros and cons of the video website at this time.
"There are disadvantages, and there are many, first of all, the problem of the server, because the video itself is much larger than the photo text, so it is difficult for our server to support the traffic of the video website, and the income of the video website is also a difficulty, we have not yet found a good way to earn money, which is also the most important problem in the development of the video website at present."
"Then set up a separate server group for the video website, you must ensure the smoothness of website browsing, after all, as a main video website, if you can't let netizens watch smoothly, it's a failure!" Ye Sumang thought about it for a while, and immediately put forward his own idea.
"But what about the money? The funds required to set up a separate server group, as well as the maintenance costs after that, you must know that it is really difficult for the video site to achieve profitability at present, so that the video site will become a bottomless pit and drag down the pace of FaceBook's development. Mark said embarrassedly.
"This is my proposal, and the funding will naturally be supported by me, but remember not to connect the video site with FaceBook too deeply, this site will be of great use to me in the future."
"Okay, I see." Mark nodded and agreed.
Then the two of them discussed the profitability of FaceBook in recent years and the development of the next website, and Ye Sumang also told Mark that he thought of a few circles of money to make a profit, and the two of them discussed for a full half a day before finally ending this conversation.
"Ye, are you going to return to Huaxia immediately? Why don't you just stay, let's do it together! At the time of separation, Mark asked a little reluctantly.
"No, Mark, you're doing a great job, I believe in your ability, but I still have my things to do in Huaxia, you know, I'm actually a director." Ye Sumang smiled and politely declined Mark's retention.
"Alright then, may God bless your film as a box office hit."
A week after going to the United States, Ye Sumang returned to the land of China again, he gained a lot from this trip to the United States, and he was full of confidence in the creation of his next film, but the news of his return to China was also known by well-informed reporters, at this time they were all ambushed outside the airport, just waiting for Ye Sumang to appear.
As soon as Ye Sumang got off the plane, he turned on his mobile phone and called Joey, but as soon as the phone was connected, Ye Sumang heard such a laughable news, and Ye Sumang also began to feel a headache for the media he was about to face. (To be continued.) )
