The promotion of Six Ears IM is very rapid, with Yahoo users as the base, and the number of new users every day exceeds 50,000. This speed, which led the first revolution of the Internet, is comparable to that of Netscape.

Under the strong data and the propaganda of various media, some people have even used "another Netscape" to describe the momentum of Six Ears IM. Unlike phone calls or emails, instant messaging apps are more of a new social experience than a way to communicate.

For the first time, Internet users really feel that the Internet has become a part of life, not just a tool. Netizens no longer think of contact when they are in need. Instead, when I went online, I was pleasantly surprised to find that the other party was there, and then I said hello as if I met them on the way home. If you have a topic of interest, you can happily chat for a while and then move on with your life.

Six-eared IM has truly integrated the Internet into people's lives.

As long as anyone can see the promise of instant messaging software as long as they don't have ulterior motives, what business could be more lucrative than changing people's lives? What's more, Zhou Shuo showed a lot of creativity in the operation and promotion of Six Ears IM, which made people feel enlightened. Whether it is emphasizing user experience or user authorization promotion, it can be widely used in other projects.

The new network communication method of six-ear IM has quickly become the focus of the market topic. It is precisely because of this extensive attention that Zhou Shuo has to be tired of dealing with all kinds of temptations and snooping.

"I hope you can help me recruit a guy called Eugene. Kaspersky's people. ”

"Yes, Russians. Author of AVP security software. If I could, I would like to be able to acquire it along with the AVP software project. ”

"In terms of treatment, if he can bring the project together. I could provide $3 million in funding to set up a security software lab. Give him thirty percent of the shares. Responsible for the follow-up development of AVP and the data security work of Six Ears Software. ”

"This is the first business, I hope you don't disappoint me. If all goes well, we will have a lot of headhunting tasks in the future, and we can establish a long-term cooperative relationship. ”

"Okay, I'll wait for your news."

Shao Shiming sat opposite Zhou Shuo and moved his body a little uneasily. Seeing that he hung up the phone, he hurriedly asked, "Zhou'er, what kind of caba driver is this, he really has such a great ability." Can it be worth three million dollars? ”

"Whether it's worth it or not depends on his level." Of course, Zhou Shuo knows the value of Kaspersky, but he can't be too confident. He shook his head and said lightly: "Anyway, 70% of the shares of the laboratory are in our hands, and it is only a matter of minutes to get rid of him." ”

"Try it or not, the recent cyber attacks have been really frustrating." Shao Shiming shook his head and said helplessly.

"By the way, some European companies asked if the international version of the Six Ears IM could be represented. You see? ”

Zhou Shuo waved his hand. said: "Let Yu Qiong be responsible for this matter, the daily operation and business activities of the company are the scope of the general manager's work." In the recent period, if there is no emergency. You don't have to ask me for advice. The promotion speed of the six-ear IM is still not enough, and I want to retreat. ”

"Closed ...... Close? Shao Shiming looked at Zhou Shuo dumbfounded.

Hollywood, the center of the American film industry. This small village just outside of Los Angeles. Today, it is a sprawling movie city, and even the name of the place has become synonymous with American cinema.

It is home to some of the world's top entertainment companies. Such as DreamWorks, Disney, Twentieth Century Fox, Columbia, Universal and Paramount, these are all well-known brands in the world. Gather here. With a mature business model and high-tech support, it continues to produce entertainment products that represent American culture.

Of course, Hollywood not only has these top studios, but also has a lot of independent producers. Many times, it is these people who really early on the diversity of American culture.

"Nora. Ms. Epron? ”

From the cold Seattle in the north to Los Angeles with a Mediterranean climate, Zhou Shuo was really uncomfortable for a while.

"You're Mr. Joy, aren't you?"

Nora. Ms. Efron was already a fifty-four-year-old woman, but she couldn't tell it from the outside. With her elegant demeanor and gentle smile, she looks as if she has been ten years younger.

The status of Hollywood screenwriters in the early years was no higher than that of Chinese screenwriters twenty years later. The producer can change the script, the director can change the script, and even the actors can change the script at will. And Nora. In such an industry, Ephron has made a golden sign with his talent. Her name is a guarantee of identity and status in Hollywood. In the 12 years since she became famous in 1995, she has won the Oscar for Best Screenplay twice, and there are almost countless nominations for Best Screenplay and Writers Guild awards.

It can be said that in Hollywood, Nora. Ephron is a banner in the world of screenwriting.

"I've been waiting for a long time for Mr. Bechanin to mention you." Nora. Ephron bowed slightly in the chair and shook hands with Zhou Shuo gently.

"I'm very sorry, but this is my first time writing a screenplay, and it seems that I overestimated my abilities." Zhou Shuo generously sat down across from her and smiled apologetically.

"For the first time?" Nora. Ephron was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said, "Writing a script is a very professional thing, but since you have found me, I will give you some advice." Even if the script isn't perfect, I hope you don't get discouraged. ”

"Thank you very much Ms. Ephron for her help." Zhou Shuo took out a thick stack of bound documents from the leather bag beside him and handed it to her: "This is the movie script I wrote, called "Electronic Love Letter". ”

"Oh, e-love letters? The name is interesting, is it a love story? How can it be connected to electronic technology? "Nora. Ephron picked up a pair of round-framed gold-rimmed glasses from the small coffee table next to him and opened Zhou Shuo's script.

"It describes an online love story, that is, a love affair that happens on the Internet." Zhou Shuo was afraid of disturbing her attention, so he introduced softly: "The Internet is the most advanced electronic technology now, which can make two people communicate thousands of miles apart as if they were close to each other. Even if it is in the United States and Europe on the other, a letter can be delivered in just a second. In this film, two young people living on New York's Upper West Side, one is the owner of a superchain bookstore and the other runs a cozy corner children's bookstore......"

Zhou Shuo roughly told the plot of "Electronic Love Letters", and in his version, a large number of introductions to various functions of the Internet were added. Of course, the biggest amount of space is definitely reserved for the six-eared IM. Let it replace the email in the original version here, and become a tool for the hero and heroine to communicate.

Nora. Ephron didn't know if Lu Dao had listened to Zhou Shuo's introduction, but kept repeating the action of turning the page, and seemed to have completely devoted himself to the world in the script.

Almost an hour later, she flipped the back page of the script before she let out a long breath.

Nora. Ephron closed his eyes, carefully reflected on the plot of the script, opened his eyes and said, "I can't believe it, is Mr. Joy really writing a script for the first time?" ”

"I'm not a writer, I'm an electronics engineer. However, I have had a literary dream since I was a child, and I hope that one day my works will be recognized by more people......"

Zhou Shuo is an electronic engineer with a ghost literary dream. I've seen a lot of movies, but if you want to say that there are some artistic cells because of this, he doesn't believe it himself. Seeing people talking about people, and talking about ghosts.

For young women of literature and art, little bourgeois and cynics, what are you talking about without talking about "feelings"? Feelings are their G-spot, a touch of the high tide.

Sure enough, after Zhou Shuo told the story of a science man who yearns for literature and art, Nora. Ephron was a mess of emotion. She took his hand and said with relief: "Yes, in you, I see the miracle of perseverance!" As long as you have a heart that yearns for freedom and art, your dreams will definitely come true. ”

"That's right, my dream is to make a movie that is popular with the audience!" Zhou Shuo said with tears in the corners of his eyes and an oath.

"Okay, put your script here for me." Nora. Ephron patted the script in his hand and said, "I'll polish it for you, and then I'll give it to a few familiar film companies to try." ”

"No, ma'am, you misunderstood." Zhou Shuo hurriedly waved his hand and said: "I actually have a small asset, so I hope to invest in this movie." ”

"Oh?" Nora. Ephron looked Zhou Shuo up and down, as if he was examining what kind of confidence this young man had to dare to be an independent producer.

There are many independent producers in Hollywood, who are either rich themselves, or relatives and friends of the rich, in short, producers who are not dependent on large companies and institutions, all of them have deep backgrounds. But Nora. From Zhou Shuo's identity and age, Ephron really can't see how high his social status will be. She also heard from her friend Bei Kanning, who introduced Zhou Shuo, that Chinese mainland people can't eat enough, will they have money to invest in Hollywood to make movies?

"Well, I can introduce you to some directors and actors who are good at shooting erotic films, and they will definitely be interested after reading your script." Nora. Ephron said with some disappointment.

"I think you misunderstood, I came this time to ask you to be the director of this movie." (To be continued......)
