February 20, 2017.

The [Douyin National Beauty Pageant], which lasted for a month and a half, finally ushered in the much-anticipated finals...

In this so-called most successful marketing case in 2016, Byte Leap can be said to have stolen the limelight, winning more than 100 million registered users in less than two months, and 30 million daily active users...

In just one year since it was launched, [Douyin APP] has directly become a national-level short video app, directly leaving behind the old apps such as Kuaishou and Duanzi...

Shanghai Stadium, as a performance venue second only to the Bird's Nest, has a huge venue that can accommodate 80,000 people, and the finals of the [Douyin National Beauty Pageant] are held here.

The ordinary ticket price for the finals is only 99 yuan, and even the highest ticket price for VIP seats is only 699 yuan.

It is precisely because of this that the huge venue, which can accommodate 80,000 people, is already full of people at the moment...

"Dude, who are you rooting for?"

In the front row, a young man smiled and accosted the neighbor.

"I support Peng Eighteen, can't I buy a support ticket for 9 yuan and 9 yuan when the voting channel will be opened? I have prepared 100,000 yuan of shaking coins, and when the event starts, I will directly vote for Peng 18! ”

"One hundred thousand? it! Big brother in the live broadcast room? ”

Looking at the shocked look on the young man who asked the question, this Peng 18's "fanatical fan" showed a proud smile on his face: "It's not a big brother, it's just to support her, Peng Eighteen's core fan base has already started crowdfunding voting half a month ago, and hundreds of big brothers have already charged up the shaking coins, starting with 10 million!" ”

“......”

Looking at the young man's eyes that had been a little stunned by surprise, Peng Shiba's "fanatical fan" continued: "It's just a thousand, it's nothing, there are a total of 100 beauties from all provinces of the country tonight, which one doesn't have a big brother behind it?"

Look at it, tonight it is estimated that it will start with hundreds of millions just by charging money and swiping tickets! ”

"By the way, buddy, whose fan are you?"

"Me, I'm a fan of Zhai Li! But I didn't plan to charge up the ticket, and I bought a VIP ticket to see these beauties up close..."

"Zhai Li? Then you don't need to swipe the ticket, the first place in the finals can be said to be Zhai Li, and the other 99 girls are here to compete for the second place, if the first place is not Zhai Li, then it can only be said that Byte Leap is doing shady..."

"Right? Do you think so too? ”

......

......

Every seat in the stadium was full of discussions about today's players...

And in the background.

Chu Man stood beside Gu Cheng, looking at Gu Cheng's face, his expression kept changing...

The one-day consideration time given to her by Gu Cheng was about to come, and although she wanted to agree very much, she couldn't help but hesitate when she thought of what would happen in Gu Cheng's room tonight...

She has spent most of her adult life abroad, but she has always scoffed at the openness to foreign sex, plus she has been busy with her career and has never talked about a boyfriend, so although she has reached the age of a wolf, she is still a chick, and it is precisely because of this that she is so hesitant...

And Gu Cheng seemed to have forgotten about this matter after inviting him yesterday, and today Chu Man was busy behind Gu Cheng's ass for a long time, but Gu Cheng didn't even mention it once...

Just as Chu Man was about to ask before the opening, a middle-aged woman walked quickly to the backstage, and after coming to Gu Cheng, she respectfully shouted, "Mr. Gu." ”

The person who came was Mu Hongyue, the general manager of Wuwu Media...

Facing Mu Hongyue's greeting, Gu Cheng just nodded, and then asked in a voice: "Mr. Mu, have you arranged for your affairs to be dealt with?" ”

Mu Hongyue glanced at Chu Man when she heard this, and her expression was a little eager to speak...

Gu Cheng followed her gaze and glanced at Chu Man, and then said softly: "Advisor Chu is his own person, just say it directly if you have something to say." ”

Listening to Gu Cheng call himself his own, Chu Man obviously felt that his breathing was a little shorter...

Seeing this, Mu Hongyue also hurriedly responded: "It has been dealt with, 1,265 of the 3,300 contestants in this national beauty contest have been signed, and 73 of the 100 contestants have been signed tonight, with a total signing fee of 62.5 million." ”

"So cheap?"

Gu Cheng raised his eyebrows when he heard this...

His original budget was an average signing fee of 100,000 yuan per person, 1,265 people, that is, a signing fee of 130 million yuan, but Mu Hongyue only spent less than half of the money to get it, which made Gu Cheng quite surprised.

Mu Hongyue also explained with a smile: "Most of these girls are college students, just a brief introduction to your [Internet celebrity upgrade plan] only spent a few thousand yuan to sign the sign...

If it weren't for the fact that some of them have signed a contract with M institutions and need to pay a certain amount of liquidated damages, it is estimated that more than 60 million yuan is not needed, and 30 million is enough to get it..."

Listening to Mu Hongyue's answer, Gu Cheng also smiled and shook his head...

No wonder with the explosion of live broadcasts and short videos, all kinds of Internet celebrities have emerged in an endless stream, and the cost is too low...

These top beauties selected from hundreds of millions of girls across the country only need to spend more than 60 million to sign more than 1,000, not to mention those ordinary girls...

Chu Man heard the words [Internet Celebrity Upgrade Plan] next to him, and couldn't help but wonder: "Gu Dong, what is the [Internet Celebrity Upgrade Plan]?" ”

Gu Cheng smiled when he heard this, turned his head and teased, "Are you sure Advisor Chu wants to listen?" This is a trade secret, and you have to join my company after hearing about it. ”

Chuman: "......"

Looking at Chu Man, who was silent, Gu Cheng smiled, and then instructed Mu Hongyue: "Mr. Mu, you can tell Consultant Chu what the Internet celebrity upgrade plan is." ”

Mu Hongyue said with a look of pride on her face when she heard this: "We have signed a contract with the three top performing arts colleges in China, such as opera, Chinese opera and Beiying, and each school will give 20 study places to our company every year, so that our artists under Wuwu Media can go to further study."

This is the [Internet Celebrity Upgrade Plan], from the Internet celebrity circle to the film and television industry! ”

It's no wonder that Mu Hongyue is proud, backed by Gu Cheng, the major shareholder of Byte Leap, worry-free media is already a god-like existence in the Internet celebrity circle and M organization company circle...

Which company dares to say that it has more resources in the Internet celebrity circle than worry-free media?

It is no exaggeration to say that as long as Gu Cheng wants to expose a lot of them, he can casually bring out tens of millions of fans of Internet celebrities...

Listening to Mu Hongyue's introduction, Chu Man couldn't help but look at Gu Cheng with a surprised look...

It wasn't until this moment that she knew that Gu Cheng was playing a big game of chess!

first smashed 10 billion, united with the four old capitals in the film and television industry to cover the resources in the circle, and then used this huge resource to cultivate talents to achieve a virtuous circle...

Reminiscent of what Gu Cheng said before, if 10 billion is not enough, it will continue to add 20 billion and 30 billion in the future...

If Gu Cheng can really achieve this point, it is no exaggeration to say that within 5 years, the Chinese film and television industry will enter an era that can be called a monopoly of entertainment...

Thinking of this, Chu Man couldn't help but get excited...

If you can join in, it will be the most colorful stroke of your qualifications!

Gu Cheng looked at Chu Man, whose expression was constantly changing, and probably guessed what she was thinking, so he didn't care about her, but walked towards the venue: "The finals are about to start, there are some things to talk about later." ”

With that, he walked away.

-----------------

-----------------

It was 8 p.m.

As the fireworks bloomed in the sky, Cheng Lei and Chen Rong, the two leading hosts of Tomato Satellite TV, appeared in the center of the stage.

Cheng Lei: "Welcome to the finals of the Douyin National Beauty Contest, which will be broadcast live by Tomato Satellite TV and Douyin APP!" ”

Chen Rong: "Next, I would like to invite Mr. Gu Cheng, the chief judge of this competition, Mr. Gu Cheng, Chairman of Gu's Charitable Foundation, Chairman of Trauson Group, Chairman of Gray Rhino Capital, and Director of Byte Leap.

President Wang, Chairman of Pulse Capital and Director of Wanda Group.

Rick Ding, member of the jury of the International Association of Top Models.

Editor-in-Chief of Harper's Bazaar Magazine, Mr. Xin Shiyang appears! ”

As soon as the voice fell, four figures walked out of the backstage, Gu Cheng was in the center, dressed in Zegna's high-end customization, coupled with a face value of up to 90 points and a temperament of 10 points, the extravagance was fully revealed...

Principal Wang is known by netizens as the most slinging existence in the rich second generation, and even Xin Shiyang and Rick Ding, two hipsters, can't compare, let alone Gu Cheng...

In addition, the title of the chief rich second generation was also snatched away by Gu Cheng, and the current Principal Wang is quite a little transparent...

After walking to the center of the stage, several people took the director's microphone one after another, greeted the 80,000 people in the venue, and the millions of viewers in the live broadcast room and in front of the TV, and then sat on the judges' bench at the edge of the stage.

After seeing Gu Cheng and a few people seated, the host Cheng Lei said to his partner Chen Rong in a joking tone: "Chen Rong, do you know that there is a special guest judge tonight?" ”

Chen Rong also cooperated when she heard this, revealing a surprised expression: "Special guest judge? Is it heavier than Gu Dong's weight? ”

Cheng Lei: "Don't say it, just now in the background, Gu Dong personally told me that this special guest judge is indeed heavier than him!" ”

Chen Rong: "I'm a little looking forward to it. ”

The foreshadowing is enough, Cheng Lei didn't sell it, and said directly in a loud voice: "Then next, we will invite our special guest judge tonight, who is also Gu Dong's sister, Princess Elsa Anna Christian from the Danish royal family, to appear!" ”

As soon as the voice fell...

In the chanting of the audience, Xu Tongtong walked out of the backstage timidly in a pure white princess dress, jumping out like an elf...

Just when Xu Tongtong was greeting everyone in Chinese, the barrage in the official live broadcast room of Douyin was rolling wildly...

"Really? Is this game so high? Can you also invite the Danish royal princess? ”

"Am I the only one who captures the point? The Danish princess is Gu Cheng's sister? Gu Cheng is a Danish prince? I don't look like it! ”

"Brothers, just came back from Baidu, Denmark does have a princess named Elsa, but Baidu has no photos, and I'm not sure if it's her... But for the national competition, there shouldn't be a fake princess, right? ”

"What kind of immortal family is Gu Cheng... Not long after inheriting the Chuangsheng Group, there is now a Danish princess's sister..."

The identity of the European royal princess has caused countless discussions in the barrage, but without exception, every discussion can't get around Gu Cheng after all...

On Weibo, the topic of speculation about Gu Cheng's family background is rising rapidly, and it is quietly surging into hot searches...

Gu Cheng looked at Xu Tongtong, who looked a little restrained in the center of the stage, and also looked at it with a smile.

When the special guest judge was Xu Tongtong himself, after calling his uncle and aunt to repeatedly confirm that appearing in public had no impact, Gu Cheng agreed to her request...

Now it seems that letting Xu Tongtong mess around once seems to have a good effect...

On the stage, after Xu Tongtong introduced herself, she didn't even look at the separate seat specially prepared for her by the program team, but ran to Gu Cheng's side quickly and squeezed into his arms...

"Miss Elsa, your seat is over here..."

The assistant director of the show whispered to Elsa.

Gu Cheng didn't take care of the deputy director of the show, but touched Xu Tongtong's head dotingly: "Isn't it fun?" ”

Xu Tongtong's little face flushed and nodded: "It's fun!" It's the first time I've appeared in so many people! ”

The assistant director of the show listened to the conversation between the two brothers and sisters, and couldn't help but be a little speechless...

A program that costs tens of millions of dollars and attracts the attention of tens of millions of viewers across the country is "not fun" in the mouths of these two brothers and sisters?

"Will you sit with me or by yourself?"

"I'm sitting with my brother!"

"Okay, just sit next to me."

The deputy director of the show's face changed when he heard this, and the two brothers and sisters didn't seem to take this show seriously at all, so they hurriedly persuaded: "Gu Dong, the seat has been set up, this is a bit inappropriate..."

Gu Cheng didn't even look at him, and waved his hand directly: "There's nothing inappropriate, just let her sit with me." ”

"This..."

Just when the assistant director of the show was about to persuade him again, he couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart when he saw the impatient look on Gu Cheng's face, and then reluctantly retreated...

Principal Wang on the side had long been accustomed to Gu Cheng's style of acting, and there was no surprise...

On the contrary, Xin Shiyang and Rick Ding, two celebrities in the fashion circle, couldn't help but glance at each other and understood what the privilege of capital was.

The two of them collect money to work, and the program team will do whatever they want, there is no room for bargaining, and now looking at Gu Cheng's arbitrary appearance, I can't help but feel a little envy in my heart...

On the stage, Cheng Lei's voice sounded again.

"Next, I would like to invite Miss Yang to present the opening song "Offering of Love" for everyone!"

With the appearance of Yang Function, the screams are even more intense...

"Cut out a piece of candlelight...

Light up the warp..."

Yang Function still insists on singing as always...

It's also out of tune as always...

But it is undeniable that even though the singing is out of tune, the atmosphere of the audience has been completely mobilized...
