291 Preparation and awards

Entering February, dramas including "The Pretender" and "Together Through the Window" were launched one after another.

"The Pretender" was broadcast on Jiangnan Satellite TV, a Republic of China drama that integrates spy war elements, with a strong suspenseful plot and superb acting skills of the actors, it won the ratings championship of the week as soon as it was launched, and it was a double harvest of ratings and word-of-mouth, with almost zero negative reviews.

"Together in the Window" is exclusively broadcast by Lexiang TV, this almost new lineup of small-cost online dramas has achieved quite outstanding results, the average number of views of the first three episodes exceeded 20 million, and the petal score even rushed to 9.1, ranking first in the youth campus genre film.

"Run, Brother" is as strong as ever, and each issue can trigger heated discussions on the whole network, and the hot searches are on one after another.

In the fifth episode broadcast last week, Shen Yize arranged for the starring actor of "The Pretender" to participate in the recording, on the one hand, it can promote the new drama, and on the other hand, it is just in line with the theme of the spy war drama to launch the spy (spy) game and introduce a new prop - water gun.

recorded the fifth episode, the resident guests are very familiar with each other, obviously a lot more open than the first issue, the sense of variety shows of the seven people is not bad, even the daily dialogue jokes are very sufficient, plus the game settings are brilliant, and various reversals are continuous in the later stage, An Yi almost didn't faint laughing when he watched the broadcast.

This issue is undoubtedly the most glorious episode of the show so far, it has already stood at the top of the heat, and now it has reached a new level, Shen Yize took the opportunity to unite with major manufacturers and e-commerce to sell the same clothes, famous brands, props and other peripherals of the show.

Thanks to the explosion of the program,The number of paid members of Lexiangtv has surged from 3 million on the first day to 15 million in just one month,Although compared with the number of hundreds of millions of VIP users of Tengfei Video and Youshi,There is still an order of magnitude short,But in the second echelon,It has far surpassed station B,It is only a line away from Jiangnan TV。

The number of registered users of Lexiang Music is also growing steadily, and the website has produced many hit songs since its establishment, including original works by independent musicians at home and abroad, as well as songs such as "You're Beautiful", "Love Story", "Love Me Like You Do" and other songs carried by Shen Yize.

With the increasing number of popular English songs created by Zhuang Yi, musicians and music fans in Europe and the United States have gradually begun to pay attention to this songwriter from the East, and an&y has also signed some potential new singers, and the above songs are tailored by Shen Yize for his own singers.

Among them, "You're Beautiful" successfully topped the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart six weeks after its release, becoming the fourth number one single on the chart composed by Zhuang Yi.

2month1day,Lexiang TV and Lexiang Music launched the beta version,The new version of the APP adds a personalized recommendation function,It will recommend content that users may be interested in according to the user's viewing or listening records,As well as user-defined preference tags。

As the company's funds become more and more abundant, the number of new projects launched every month gradually increases.

There are as many as four variety shows planned to be produced in the first quarter, in addition to the second season of "Got Talent" and "Wonderful Story", there are also two original projects by the planning department; There are five film and television dramas, three of which are self-made, and two are co-produced with CCTV.

With the company's existing staff, it is obvious that it cannot cope with such a large number of projects, and the time and financial cost of recruiting new personnel is too high, and the best way is to find some temporary workers or outsource part of the business.

At seven o'clock, Shen Yize went home from work on time.

"An Anβ€”"

Changed his shoes and entered the house, but he didn't see An Yatou in the living room and kitchen, he shouted a few times, but no one responded.

"Where's your mother?"

He asked the fat boy who was sleeping lazily on the couch.

The fat boy ignored him, only moved his fat body and buried his head deeper.

Shen Yize took out Yang Jiu'an's mobile phone number and called her: "What are you doing?" Haven't gotten off work yet? ”

"You're home?"

"That's right!"

"Then you wait for me, I'll be back soon."

The girl said that she would wait a while, and it would probably be more than half an hour.

Fortunately, Shen Yize still has work to do, but he doesn't feel that he has waited for a long time, if it weren't for Yang Jiu'an knocking on the door, he wouldn't even know that she was back.

"Hungry? Let's eat. ”

She half-pushed open the door of the study, picked up the lunch box in her hand and shook it.

"I'm hungry, I'm hungry when I see you." Shen Yize stretched his waist, got up and walked to her, and reached out to wrap his arms around her shoulders, "What did you buy?" ”

"Sushi, I bought some on the way back."

The two walked into the kitchen, Shen Yize sat down at the dining table, and Yang Jiuan took the dishes and chopsticks.

"Are you busy today? Came back so late. ”

He asked.

"You know, it's your project."

"I only informed you yesterday, and today I started working? Your company is very efficient! ”

Yang Jiuan said seriously: "I am the chief director, although Director Xie takes me, but I can't rely on others for everything, originally I was the chief director, there is a lot of criticism in the company, if I am incompetent, I don't know what it will be like!" ”

Shen Yize heard what she said, and asked: "Someone is talking nonsense behind her back?" ”

"It's nothing, it's just that some people are red-eyed. I've been on the job for less than two years and I've been offered so many opportunities one after another, and it's normal for people to be red-eyed. ”

Shen Yize took her little hand, squeezed her soft palm, and said comfortingly: "Let them say it, you don't have to care-"

Yang Jiuan shook his head: "I don't care, I just think that I must do my job well, and I want them to know that I, Yang Jiuan, are worthy of the words 'chief director'." ”

Seeing that An An was not only not affected, but his morale was high, he couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.

He likes An An's mentality very much, positive and sunny, sometimes he even feels that this girl's heart is stronger than him, he has been dating for so long, he has not seen her down, no matter how difficult the challenge, she can always face it with a smile.

After eating, the two went back to their rooms to do their own business.

Shen Yize finished all the work before ten o'clock, and Yang Jiuan still locked himself in his room to work.

He didn't bother her, took a shower, sat on the couch and checked the information in the industry.

"Meow~"

The fat boy seemed a little bored, sat upright on the ground, raised his neck and yelled at Shen Yize.

Shen Yize patted the seat next to him: "Come here." ”

"Meow~"

The fat boy obediently jumped on the couch and leaned over to him.

Shen Yize gently stroked its silky hair, and said casually: "When we move, I'll find you a few friends." ”

The fat boy didn't respond, just lay down lazily and curled up.

The entertainment industry has been relatively calm recently, except for Tengfei Video, which has pounced on several big-production IP dramas, there is nothing new. The Internet industry is not very peaceful, and Tengfei is still acquiring assets everywhere, from takeaway to travel to live broadcasting, and the plate is getting bigger and bigger.

Speaking of live broadcasts, Shen Yize originally planned to build a barrage-style live video website, but when he first crossed over, live broadcasts were not popular.

However, the plan couldn't catch up with the changes, and before he could accumulate enough capital, the live broadcast industry was already a red ocean. Live broadcast is not as good as video websites, it does not rely so much on originality, if there is no first-mover advantage, you can only compete by throwing money at it.

He said in an interview that after years of observation of the market, he found that the environment of the entire industry needs to be further optimized, and he feels that he has the obligation and ability to contribute to the vigorous development of the industry.

This rhetoric is exactly the same as what he said when he was a director.

Shen Yize doesn't know whether Wang Dingyu can make a positive contribution to the development of the industry, but it's better to go to the disaster live broadcast than to come to the disaster video website, from this point of view, Shen Yize still supports him very much.

It was close to 12 o'clock, and Ann had not yet come out of the room.

Shen Yize knocked on the door, but didn't go in, but poked his head out and asked, "Haven't you finished yet?" ”

Yang Jiu'an said "um": "You go to sleep first, don't wait for me." ”

"I'll make you a cup of coffee."

"Okay."

In the past, An An made him a cup of coffee, but today he has changed his role.

Shen Yize's coffee making technique was taught by Yang Jiu'an, and his taste couldn't be clearer.

Bringing a cup of steaming coffee to her hand, she glanced at the books on the table: "Slow Food Movement", "Chinese Cooking", "Five Flavors", "Beijing Flavor", "History of Chinese Sichuan Cuisine", "Meat Eaters Do Not Despise" and so on.

is full of food-related books, Shen Yize only knows "Slow Food Movement" and "Five Flavors".

Written by the Italian Carlo Petrini, the main purpose of the book is to oppose the production of fast food according to standardization and standardization, and advocate traditional cuisine with personality and nutritional balance.

"Five Flavors" is a collection of essays about eating, the book has a large number of food colors, aromas, and descriptions of diners' eating appearances.

These two books are very enlightening on the way of shooting food and the aesthetics of the lens, seeing An An's intention to refer to it, Shen Yize instantly felt a lot more relieved, no matter what the effect is, at least her general direction will not be wrong.

However, Yang Jiuan was not reading food-related books, but reading magazines.

"What are you looking at?"

"National Geographic, I bought everything from 1995 to the present."

She pulled open the bookcase, which was piled up

Shen Yize was puzzled: "What are you doing with this thing?" ”

Yang Jiu'an explained: "Our purpose is to shoot humanities through food, and Geography magazine is very rich in pictures, which can provide me with a visual thing, so that I can roughly know what kind of environment each food is produced in." It can be regarded as a reference before the field trip.

And there are some food-related stories in this set of magazines, nay, you see-" She handed a magazine on the table to Mr. Shen, "Look at the pages I labeled. ”

Shen Yize looked through it roughly, and An'an marked the bamboo shoots in the mountains, the matsutake mushrooms from Shangri-La, and the life records of fishermen......

He immediately understood that this geography magazine is actually a record of the stories of various regions in the form of pictures, and for those who study photography, it is natural that the feelings brought by pictures are more intuitive and pure, and looking at these pictures can inspire her to create.

"So you're looking for a food-related story?"

"Yes!"

"Then I'll help you."

"Aren't you sleeping?"

"I'm not sleepy yet, I don't care about you when I'm sleepy."

Shen Yize sat down beside her, picked up the magazine and flipped through it.

Yang Jiuan glanced at him with a smile and didn't say anything.

In the dead of night, the only sound in the room was the turning of the pages. After a while, the fat boy also slipped in quietly, but did not approach, but found a place where the two could be seen and lay down, curled up and fell asleep.

"How did you arrange that?"

Shen Yize asked suddenly.

"Like previous projects, the preliminary preparation was divided into three parts: literature investigation, network collection and field research. ”

"You don't need to do everything yourself, do you?"

"Of course, I have to have an overall grasp, otherwise how can I guide others to shoot? By the way, I also made an appointment with the Culinary Association, and they gave me this "Encyclopedia of Chinese Cooking", which lists all the materials related to cooking, which is equivalent to an encyclopedia of cooking. Shen Yize glanced at the red book that was as thick as a sea of words, and couldn't help asking: "Have you read such a thick book?" ”

Yang Jiu'an smiled: "You don't need to finish reading it, you can check what you shoot, it's like looking up a dictionary, you won't read the entire dictionary just to look up a word, right?" ”

Shen Yize smiled, and then asked, "Then when will you conduct field research?" ”

"It's still early! Field research is to step on the spot, find the scene, find the right subject, aimlessly look for it is definitely not good, first get the shooting outline, determine the approximate content of each episode, so as to be targeted. ”

He nodded, changed his mind, and said, "I'm going on a business trip to Los Angeles this month to attend the Grammys." ”

"You've been nominated?"

Yang Jiuan was both surprised and delighted, the Grammys are undoubtedly one of the most prestigious awards in the music industry, if Mr. Shen can win this award......

Before she could be happy for two seconds, Shen Yize directly poured a basin of cold water: "You think too much, the nomination came out last year, if I am nominated, can I not tell you?" I was invited by the organizer to attend the award ceremony as a guest. ”

The Grammy awards are divided into more than a dozen categories according to the style of the song, basically for the album and the song itself, and the awards for composition and arrangement are usually given to more artistic classical music, and it is normal that he is not nominated.

Jiang Yining was nominated for the Grammy for Best Pop Performance for "Shape of You", and there is a consensus inside and outside the circle that she has a very high probability of winning the award.

Shen Yize said regretfully: "I also specially asked the organizer if he could bring his family, but unfortunately, in your current situation, you will definitely not go." ”

Yang Jiuan comforted him and said, "It's okay, I'll accompany you next time, it's the same." ”

Shen Yize quipped: "What you said is as if I did this award, I can go if I want to." ”

"I don't believe you!"

"Since Director Yang has spoken, then I will work hard to turn you into my family next year."

"Get out!"

……

Jiang Yining is the first Asian singer to be nominated for a Grammy, and even the attention of the Chinese people to this award has increased.

Lexiang TV successfully won the broadcast rights of the Grammy Awards, which is also the first time that a domestic platform has broadcast the music award.

It's a pity that Zhang Yina released her song too late, otherwise with the results of "Rolling in the Deep", she would be the best newcomer this year.

But it doesn't matter, Shen Yize has tailored her second single "Something Like You", in addition, her debut album is also in preparation, and she is the best newcomer in the next Grammys.

As the world's highest and most authoritative music awards, the Grammys have always attracted much attention, and the annual awards ceremony is a grand show, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the "American Spring Festival Gala".

The scene of tens of thousands of people is comparable to a large-scale concert, and the guests who can be invited to perform on stage are all world-class first-line superstars.

She not only has to perform live, but also has a high chance of winning awards, whether she is a fan of Jiang Yining or not, whether she loves music or not, just to witness this historic moment, it is enough to attract the attention of a large number of passers-by.

Major media have reported on this, and even CCTV's news channel has rarely reported this entertainment news, apparently seeing Jiang Yining's breakthrough in the United States as an excellent publicity opportunity for the rise of a great power.

Not to mention the self-media and marketing accounts, there is no need for Shen Yize to dot at all, such a hot event is rubbed faster than anyone else, and I can't wait to wash a manuscript in a minute.

On February 20, at 8 a.m. domestic time, the 65th Grammy Awards were held at the Staples Center in Los Angeles.

Hundreds of thousands of viewers instantly poured into the live broadcast room of Lexiang TV, and the barrage was full of "Jiang Yining", and everyone was waiting to witness the historic moment of her award.

Yang Jiu'an is also one of them, but she is not here for Jiang Yining, she is here to see her Teacher Shen.

However, the camera was never given to Shen Yize, although he was sitting in the first two rows.

Jiang Yining's performance on stage was the first climax of the entire awards ceremony, and the number of real-time viewers in the live broadcast room skyrocketed from about 200,000 to 2 million in an instant, with a peak of nearly 3 million.

The technicians of Lexiang Technology were taken aback by this sudden spike in value, and at the same time secretly breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately, Shen Yize had expected it and made them prepared, otherwise it was very likely that the server would crash this time.

But that's not the peak.

By the time the Best Pop Performance Award was awarded, the number had soared to more than five million.

As the host shouted Jiang Yining's name in an American-style Chinese, the entire live broadcast room suddenly boiled, and the barrage frantically brushed "6666", "Jiang Yining is awesome", "The light of the Chinese", "I won't watch the Grammys in the future without you", ......

Jiang Yining dressed up on stage to accept the award, expressing his gratitude in fluent English, and when thanking Zhuang Yi, the camera immediately gave Shen Yize who was present.

Shen Yize smirked politely.

The barrage instantly reversed the painting style and began to blow Shen Yize: "Zhuang Yi is awesome", "Zhuang Yi is the eternal god", "Look at Teacher Shen on Mr. Shen's website", "When will Mr. Shen win the award", "What about An An?" dare not bring An An to attend"......

Yang Jiu'an finally waited for her Teacher Shen, she quickly lost a barrage, and knocked down the carriage enter: "Shen Shen, you are so handsome!" Boom! ”
