On August 14, Shen Yize spent his 29th birthday with Lao Xu, Zhang Chunlin and others.

At this time last year, An An gave him a gift that would be fresh enough for him to remember for the rest of his life, but this year he could only greet him remotely through video conferencing.

Yang Jiu'an is from the northwest, the crew is filming the production process of the yellow flour bun at the villager's house, the villager's house is on the loess high slope, the wind blows from the slope, the smoke rolls up, the scorching sun is over, even across the screen, Shen Yize seems to be able to feel the bursts of heat.

"Happy Birthday!" Yang Jiu'an called the video in the interval between shooting, "After 29, you will run three in a blink of an eye, the ancients said that you stand at thirty, do you think you stand up?" ”

Shen Yize smiled and said, "When you come back, I'll show you." ”

"Get out! Tell you seriously, do you have any plans for your life after thirty? ”

"Hmm...... I don't have any plans, it's still like this, and I'm serious about my career. ”

"That's it...... Gone? ”

A hint of disappointment flashed in Yang Jiuan's eyes.

Although it was fleeting, Shen Yize still captured it keenly.

He knew what An An wanted to hear, but he deliberately didn't say it, pretending to be stupid and said, "It's gone, what else can there be?" ”

"That's okay, then you go and do your business, I'm going to shoot, hang up."

"Toot-"

An Yatou hung up the video directly, and didn't even say goodbye.

Shen Yize knew that he was playing big, so he hurriedly called her back.

"Why are you calling me?" Yang Jiu'an had a straight face and was sullen, "You can live with your career, anyway, there is no me in your future life plan." ”

An An is really a person who can't hide things in her heart, Shen Yize didn't say anything, she vomited it all first.

"How can it be without you, just take it step by step, you ask about the plan after the age of thirty, it's too far away, I can't wait - I try to settle the matter between the two of us before the age of thirty, I don't know if Director Yang is willing to give me a chance?"

"Don't give it!"

After Yang Jiu'an finished speaking, he couldn't hold back, and burst out laughing: "Oh, you're so annoying!" Don't talk to you, I worked on me! ”

Hanging up the video in a little panic, Yang Jiuan held his chest and breathed deeply.

For some reason, I was a little nervous.

She uses her phone to check the logistics information.

Before leaving, she secretly ran behind Mr. Shen's back to customize an engagement ring, and the full customization cycle of more than two months was finally completed yesterday.

She couldn't pick it up at the door, and it was impossible to send it home, so she wrote the address of Xu Wenqian's house and asked Qianqian to help collect it.

Only Sissi knew that she was going to propose to Teacher Shen, including the time and place of the proposal.

The logistics show that it is being delivered.

She was even more nervous.

When she returns after filming "A Bite of China", she will start to act.

There are still four months, and soon.

Shen Yize put down his phone, opened the desk drawer, and took out a delicate navy blue ring box from it.

Inside the box lies a sparkling diamond ring.

This is the ring used to propose to An An, as early as last year, when he bought a couple ring, he customized this proposal diamond ring, just wait for An An to come back after filming "A Bite of China", he is about to start acting.

The location had been thought of as early as when recording "Heartbeat Signal", he didn't tell anyone, and he wouldn't let friends and relatives show up, because he knew that An An didn't like that.

Entering September, major domestic TV stations and platforms launched a series of imitations of "The Voice", and at this time, Lexiang TV launched a new music program "I Am a Singer".

After two years of development, the platform has accumulated enough word-of-mouth and user trust, so that "I Am a Singer" is popular before it is broadcast, plus the first singer is led by Jiang Yining, among which there are many seniors in the music industry, this lineup alone is full of expectations.

The first issue exceeded 100 million broadcasts on the first day, and there were countless hot searches, which caused heated discussions on the whole network.

The peers are already numb, they can't wait to knock Shen Yize's brain open, see what is inside, why does it feel easier to produce a hit than eating and drinking?

Enjoy the past two years, with an average of five to six popular variety shows per year, two or three of which can reach the phenomenal level, and film and television dramas will be even more exaggerated.

Many peers even have the idea of joining if they can't beat it, some have already submitted resumes, some have been hired, and the rest are still staying up late to analyze the mode of "I Am a Singer", and they are going further and further on the road of copying ninjas.

The more you analyze, the more you throw yourself to the ground.

Different from other music programs, "I Am a Singer" breaks the convention, invites already famous singers back to the stage, and uses fierce competition and cruel competition to show the audience a process of returning from famous singers to "grassroots".

While carefully conveying the sound of nature and creating a tense atmosphere born of competition, the program team is also creating an audio-visual feast with heart. In the show, the audience can't see the arrogance and slackness of the stars, but only the spirit of hard work, passion and optimism.

The selection of guests is also very particular, not only the powerful singers who are popular, but also the older generation of music superstars, creating a collision between the times and the times, the blend of classics and popularity, and the dialogue between boldness and tenderness, so that music fans of different ages and preferences can find their favorite part in it.

The industry is impressed, but only Shen Yize himself knows that after two years of crazy output, his bullets are almost finished, and the only plans that can be called hits in his hands are "Extreme Challenge" and "Ace vs. Ace".

However, in the past two years, the platform has accumulated more than ten popular programs, each of which can shoot more than five seasons, and five years should be enough for the planning department to take over the original baton from him.

In mid-September, the overseas division signed a copyright contract with the BBC (British Broadcasting Corporation) to sell the full copyright of "The Voice" and "Got Talent" in the UK at a price of 120 million pounds, in addition, it also reached agreements with Germany, France, the Netherlands and other European countries to win a large order of more than 200 million euros.

After tasting the sweetness of "The Voice", NBC also took a fancy to "Got Talent" and finally obtained the rights to the show in the United States for $100 million.

On September 20th, after a month-long internal test and publicity warm-up, Lexiang short video was officially launched.

During the internal test, Wei Shoucheng's team focused on product polishing, experience optimization and performance improvement, while continuously improving the clarity and texture of the video, optimizing the smoothness of video loading and playback, and also listening to Shen Yize's opinions to add simple and interesting special effects such as filters, beautification and stickers.

As soon as Lexiang short video was launched, the company put a lot of resources on it, not only inserting advertisements in Lexiang TV's popular variety shows and popular film and television dramas, but also inviting Jiang Yining, Yu Sheng, Liang Zimo, Lin Zhun, Zhang Yina, Jiang Lichuan, Yang Lei and other popular stars to promote the product.

The above are the company's own resources, and there are also a lot of external resources, first of all, they spent a lot of money to invite the head anchors of the major live broadcast platforms to settle in, and then bet on advertisements in Weibo, Youshi, Yueyue, Petal, Zhihu and other major software.

Although the huge publicity burns money, the effect is also obvious, and the growth rate of the number of Lexiang short video users can be described as a thousand miles a day, and the number of registered users has exceeded 20 million in a week after it was launched, and the number of content on the platform has also reached 10 million.

Since a large part of the users come from Lexiang TV and Lexiang Music, the R&D department imports information from these two platforms in batches in order to more accurately analyze users' preferences and recommend content for users.

However, as a new thing that has just been launched, the vast majority of people still don't know how to play.

In order to let users get familiar with the short video as soon as possible, Shen Yize deliberately asked the screenwriting department to design a few hilarious jokes and earthy scenes, and he also wrote a micro-sitcom of "distressed giegie", so that the company's beautiful newcomer actors can star.

These short videos quickly washed the whole network, especially "I will only become a distressed giegie", which broke one million clicks overnight and 10 million in three days.

With the direction of creation, new video content emerges in an endless stream, both effective imitation and innovation.

Masters are in the folk, and there is no shortage of creative people in life, and Lexiang short videos provide them with a platform to show themselves and record their lives.

Soon, Lexiang Short Video gave birth to the first blogger with millions of fans on this site, followed by the second and third ......

With great creators, there is great content, and with great content, you can attract a steady stream of new users.

Enjoy short videos ushered in explosive growth, the number of weekly downloads jumped to the first place on the iOS list, and the large influx of users is also a test, at this time, the core algorithm advantages are reflected, and the algorithm recommendation model is added at the product level at the beginning, which greatly ensures the distribution efficiency of content.

Excellent UI design and excellent user experience also enhance the stickiness of users to a certain extent.

During this time, the R&D department continued to collect feedback and developed new features such as 3D shake watermarks, music brushes, hair color effects, 360-degree panoramic videos, AR cameras, etc., to enhance the look and appeal of the videos.

The data performance of Lexiang short video all the way up quickly attracted the attention of the investment circle, and the suspended C round of financing restarted negotiations, but now Lexiang Technology's valuation has doubled compared with half a year ago, and the investment amount must also be doubled if you want to get the same proportion of equity.

The specific situation will not be known until the conversation, and before that, he plans to visit An An's class first.

During the 11th Golden Week, Shen Yize was busy and set off from Jiangnan early in the morning, traveled for eight hours, and arrived in Jiayu County, Xianning City before dark.

I encountered the scene of the "Tip of the Tongue" crew filming lotus root picking.

Yang Jiuan smiled sweetly at him, and then directed the shooting.

Shen Yize didn't bother her, just stood by the lake, watching the grand occasion of three hundred people going down to the lake to pick lotus roots, and chatting with the onlookers with a match.

After chatting, I learned that the crew had been filming for three days just for the scene of these 300 people going down to the lake together.

Working in the mud is nothing to the lotus diggers, who have already exercised their legs to get out of the mud flexibly.

But for the photographer with the camera in his hand, after filming the whole process of digging lotus root under the mud, he first has to hand the camera to the assistant, and then the two lotus diggers shovel off the mud on the photographer's legs, and then work together to pull the photographer out.

And the light in the field is too strong, so the shooting time can only be concentrated before 9 a.m. and after 4:30 p.m., in the words of the assistant: "It's great to be able to shoot three or five shots in one morning." ”

"Very nice! OK! ”

Yang Jiuan and the episode director were very satisfied after reviewing the footage shot today.

There was a round of applause in the crew, everyone was very tired and just wanted to rest for a day in the past three days.

In the final interview, Yang Jiuan deliberately selected two relatively clean and weak brothers from more than 300 workers.

The elder brother said: "The money for my family to build a house and the money for my children to go to school is all earned by digging lotus roots. ”

The younger brother said: "This job requires good physical fitness, and those with poor physical fitness, a spade of soil goes down, and they don't have the physical strength." ”

On the way back to Xianning, Shen Yize asked her why she didn't pick so many sturdy ones, but had to pick two thinner ones.

"This is a small trick in documentary shooting, such a hard work, finding a particularly strong image, it is not easy to move the audience, and the thinner ones are different."

"I understand, there is a contrast, and only then can I be touched."

Yang Jiu'an smiled: "There is a more important point, they are a pair of brothers. ”

Seeing that Teacher Shen was puzzled, she explained: "Humanities documentaries, no matter what the subject is, interpersonal relationships are a very important part, and the story of a single person will seem very weak, and it will be better to add a little family affection to connect." These shots seem to be unintentional, but they can actually reflect the human touch, which is much more interesting than being alone. ”

"Awesome my Director Yang!"

Shen Yize praised him from the bottom of his heart, such an excellent and lovely girlfriend, he really wanted to love him in his arms.

There are too many light bulbs, and then bear with it.

Back in Xianning, he invited the crew to have a good meal in the name of An An's boyfriend.

After the meal, Shen Yize said: "Everyone has worked hard, go back and have a good rest, I will go out for a walk with you Yang Derive." ”

Everyone had a "go, go, go, we all understand" expression.

Yang Jiuan blushed and slammed his waist, didn't say anything, lowered his head and obediently followed him out.

It is impossible to wander around, time is precious, and it is natural to use it on the blade.

Shen Yize had already booked a room at the best local hotel.

He originally wanted to take a mandarin duck bath with An An, but was kicked out of the bathroom by An Yatou.

The lights were turned off and the quilt was retracted.

He hugged her from behind, kissed her tiny ears, put his left hand around her plump waist, and his right hand expertly reached through the cuff.

Yang Jiuan struggled slightly: "Don't move your hands and feet!" ”

His mouth was not accurate, but his body was very sincere to his movements.

He smiled evilly and said, "Don't let me do anything and come to the hotel with me?" ”

Yang Jiuan snorted: "Aren't you going to have a career? Why are you going to do me? ”

Shen Yize laughed, An An is too cute, any words are superfluous at this time, he will use practical actions to prove to her how much he loves her.
