Du Jiayi himself is not a founder with a technical background, but more assigns projects and relies on the team to solve product problems. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Therefore, Lev Grossman did not talk to Du Jiayi about many technical details, but focused on the management and direction of the company.

Du Jiayi has his own understanding of the direction of technological development and the needs of ordinary users, and can often point out a shortcut and a correct path for the development of Yijia Group.

"We have a 10-year plan that mentions the three major changes we expect to see in the world and the three areas that we are most focused on right now."

"The first is connectivity, so that everyone in the world can connect to the Internet. More than half of the world's population still doesn't have access to the internet, and I think a lot of people in Silicon Valley probably take that for granted, because it's not possible to make online services available to everyone fairly.

But if we want to solve many of the important problems facing the world today, it is not something that one team or one country can do. They are about collaboration and giving everyone the opportunity to participate in problem solving. So I think it's very important to make the Internet accessible to everyone, and it's good for the whole world. ”

"The second is artificial intelligence, which I think will unleash the potential of many different fields. We've tried to implement a lot of smart features in the Elite network, like showing people what's most meaningful to them, like making sure you're able to stay in touch with the people you really care about. ”

"The third thing is, I've always felt that every 10 or 15 years, there's a new computing platform that people can do with a lot of completely different things. 20 years ago, most of us were still using desktop computers, these devices were bulky, and people used it for work because it made people more productive, but most people didn't use them for entertainment.

Now that we have mobile phones, this helps us connect with each other, and mobile phones are a more user-friendly device. But now there's a new platform after the phone, and I think it's going to be virtual reality and augmented reality. This new platform will allow people to be more creative, and the experience it will give people is more realistic and immersive than watching videos, so I'm bullish on this development as well. ”

Lev Grossman was also happy to talk about the general direction of Du Jiayi, after all, the success of Yijia Group will make many people pay attention to the future development of the company. Of course, there are others, on private topics, Du Jiayi avoids talking about them, and on technical details, he is very vague, and Grossman doesn't record more material, maybe the character interview is not enough.

When Grossman and the public relations department of Yijia's overseas company confirmed the scale of the interview, Sule, who had been waiting for a long time, was ready to take a cover photo for Du Jiayi. Souler uses an old-fashioned hand-cranked camera. Every time you shake it, it makes a "click" sound. Du Jiayi's expression, in just 2 seconds, quickly changed, from cold and expressionless, suddenly his jaw was slightly raised, the corners of his mouth were upturned, and a few front teeth were exposed. After taking a picture, he immediately returned to his serious expression, and the cycle continued.

"It's not a ID photo, you don't have to laugh." Souler suggested.

Du Jiayi's expression was actually a little stiff, and the shooting was particularly unnatural, which did not meet Su Le's requirements at all.

Du Jiayi was a little surprised, picked up a somewhat frozen smile, and tried to raise his chin.

Su Le sighed in his heart, it seemed that he didn't expect Du Jiayi to have artistic connotation.

In order to liven up the atmosphere, Souler specially brought a mini record player. This is his magic weapon for portraits.

In '04, he shot "Person of the Year" for The New Yorker magazine. The winner was then-Senator Oba of Illinois. Hearing the music played by Souler, Oba danced excitedly a few times and quickly got into the shooting mode. '98, Klin. During Dunshan's presidency, Souler went to the White House to take a portrait of him, playing music by jazz maestro Mills Davis. He listened with great interest.

Sole's tried and tested "musical magic weapon" failed in Du Jiayi. Souler was playing songs by the band Pearl Sauce, but Du Jiayi was clearly not interested in the old punk rock band. Although the stereo surround effect is very good, Du Jiayi does not say a word.

Du Jiayi's music aesthetic is to stay on pop songs, and there is no more feeling for European and American classic songs, that is, listening to rhythms and tunes.

Souler's second trick was "chattering", and luckily, it worked.

"Where is your hometown in China?"

"A small town on the outskirts of the Magic City." Du Jiayi replied.

"If you don't mind, you can talk to me about your impressions of your hometown."

Souler "chatted" with him while filming.

Du Jiayi has different memories of his hometown, to be precise, his hometown in another world, and he doesn't think there are more words. Having lived in my hometown in another world for nearly twenty years, I have left so many memories that I can't let go of, and there are so many things that are deeply engraved in my soul that I can't let go of them. That is, Su Le did not know the situation in the country, and he was completely unaware of the inconsistency between the hometown described by Du Jiayi and the small town in the magic capital of this world.

When Du Jiayi was talking, Souler seized an opportunity to take a few photos of the front, and the effect was very good. Caught in the memory, Du Jiayi's facial expression is more natural, and the lines are softer, which is very in line with Su Le's inner feeling: a handful of bangs are attached to the forehead, the bridge of the nose is high, the dark eyes are as wide as a deep pool, and the little freckles on the face are engraved with the imprint of youth.

After a successful frontal portrait shoot, Souler decided to take another profile shot of Du Jiayi. Souler felt that because of the side of Du Jiayi, it was more recognizable and beautiful than the front. Of course, it was Time magazine's editorial board that felt that Souler was only responsible for presenting what he thought was best.

Souler has also been helping Time magazine shoot its cover characters for a long time, and has faced all sorts of people: big stars, politicians, philanthropists, ordinary people. But he has never been as young as Du Jiayi, and there is still a faint immaturity on his body.

When you see more people, you will have an intuition about people. Souler's impression of Du Jiayi is like that of the boy next door. But while many of his peers were still in college and looking for work, Du Jiayi had built a huge empire of his own.

I don't know if the times have made him, or if he has a talent that defies the sky. (To be continued.) )
