Magic City, XH District, Qinzhou Road.

The two buildings hidden along the road are particularly low-key.

When Zhou Yutang walked into the Science and Technology Entrepreneurship Center, he was also accompanied by the deputy director of the Science and Technology Entrepreneurship Center and Chen Min, the director of the new game department of Jiangdong Entertainment that he recruited through headhunting.

This brother is not a simple person, he used to be a senior department manager of the Sohu Game Division, and he can also be called a capable officer under Zhang Chaoyang, who once did the research and development of the online game "Dragon Babu", which promoted the successful split and listing of Sohu Changyou.

Later, because of the failure of the company's internal power struggle, Zhou Yutang has been in contact with professional talents this year when he intends to develop the game business.

finally talked about Chen Min in the first two months, and under the guidance of the head of the magic capital, Tian Ming, he wholly acquired a game company called Xingsu in the magic capital, renamed Jiangdong Game Company, and Chen Min directly became the general manager.

For himself, the most popular star boss, Chen Min also admires it in his heart.

Before defecting to Zhou Yutang's command, of course, he also thought twice and spent a lot of effort to study Zhou Yutang.

self-made, stirring up trouble in the entertainment industry in just a few years, and earning a wealth that ordinary people can't achieve in a lifetime, and last year it topped the Forbes celebrity list.

These conditions were enough to convince him, but from a professional point of view, Chen Min couldn't help but ask: "Mr. Zhou, are you sure that the company's main operation direction in the future is web games and mobile games?" ”

"Mr. Zhou, follow me."

At this time, the deputy director of the Science and Technology Entrepreneurship Center took the first step to press the elevator and looked at the good brother of the prince of the Tian family with a smile.

"Thank you, Director."

Zhou Yutang nodded slightly, walked into the elevator, and continued Chen Min's chat, "That's right, I have read the game professional analysis report you did, and the entire online game industry has begun to show a downward trend in the second quarter of this year."

"For the time being, the company is mainly engaged in the development of web games and mobile games, and you are responsible for it."

"Okay."

Chen Min nodded, and under the guidance of the deputy director of the Science and Technology Entrepreneurship Center, followed Zhou Yutang to the target floor.

I entered a small office of more than 50 square meters at most.

"Xiao Cai, Xiao Liu, Xiao Luo."

The deputy director of the Science and Technology Entrepreneurship Center went first to call someone: "Mr. Zhou, who has approved the office location for you to find a relationship, is here, come and say hello." ”

"Mr. Zhou is good."

Cai Haoyu, Liu Wei, Luo Yuhao, and Jin Zhicheng looked at Zhou Yutang and showed varying degrees of excitement.

"Well, hello."

Zhou Yutang glanced at several people and shook hands respectively.

Cai Haoyu is handsome, still a handsome guy, and has a lively expression.

The rest of them are all engineering and technical nerds, and they are a little restrained.

These four people are graduate students in the Department of Computer Science of Modu Jiaotong University, buddies in a dormitory, and they are all fanatics of ACG.

Last year, Cai Haoyu, Liu Wei and Luo Yuhao participated in the second technological innovation competition of the Institute of Computing Technology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and won a scholarship of 200,000 yuan for the [Flash-based plug-in online game platform] project.

Cai Haoyu developed a game "The Tale of Po Sa", and won the champion of the campus group and the Intel Special Award at the "Ma Qiu Flash Game Development Competition" hosted by Shanda Company.

According to Chen Min's professional evaluation, the misato engine developed and used by Cai Haoyu in "The Tale of Po Sa" has achieved the effect of 2.5D, and the technical foundation is very strong.

After an in-depth understanding, I learned that Cai Haoyu was rated as a junior academician of the Celestial Academy of Juvenile Sciences at the age of 12 and was sent to Jiaotong University.

not only has a high IQ, but also has a high EQ, and he is quite sophisticated, so he took the initiative to hand Zhou Yutang a canned Nescafe.

Zhou Yutang keenly observed.

They themselves are holding disposable paper cups and drinking brewed cheap instant coffee.

Several people looked at Zhou Yutang curiously, some curious, some shy, and didn't know what to say.

It was also Cai Haoyu who took the initiative to say: "Mr. Zhou, I'm smiling, we don't have anything here, just a lot of coffee, otherwise I can't stand staying up late at night to write code." ”

"You're doing a great job of treating hobbies as a career."

Zhou Yutang glanced at the few marching beds in the corner of the office.

They also want to progress too much.

Stay up late to work overtime, and sleep in the office when you are sleepy.

Where do you find such good employees?

"Let's fool around, Mr. Zhou is really powerful, you are the same idol in our dormitory, if it is convenient later, can you take a photo?"

"Absolutely."

After a brief greeting, the relationship between the two sides seems to have become much closer.

Zhou Yutang didn't see it, opened the canned coffee and took a sip, and directly expressed his intention:

"I'm interested in investing in you as a game studio."

What Zhou Yutang does is the entertainment industry.

Games are also an important part of the entertainment industry.

In terms of profit, games are even more exaggerated than making film and television dramas, and Chen Tianqiao relied on "Legend" to rise strongly and create a wealth myth.

Zhou Yutang occasionally plays games, but has limited knowledge of the professional field of games.

As a boss, it is enough to be able to employ people.

When Chen Min was doing things with Zhang Chaoyang, he had a positive and serious work attitude, and he had excellent skills and rich experience, but his disadvantage was that his palace fighting skills were not very good.

But it is enough to have the previous advantages.

was able to dig up Chen Min, and Zhou Yutang was lucky.

The main reason is that in recent years, Mr. Zhang has been living a very miserable life because he is too rich.

It was so painful that he could only spend 70 million to buy a top yacht, took Li Binbin and Huo Siyan to climb the mountain, and drank and talked with Zhang Ziyi.

After fighting for so long, Mr. Zhang probably feels that he should also enjoy life, or there are other reasons, in short, there are a lot of talents in the Sohu department.

The reason why Zhou Yutang made such a fortune and made such rapid progress was also because he was proficient in a magic skill of digging walls and feet.

Chen Min was only dug here, and he quickly targeted several other talents in the Sohu department.

On the way to the airport, I received a call from Tian Ming: "Yu Tang, don't you come to watch "Running Man" in the later stage? ”

"Brother Ming, you just look at it, the ability of the people in the post-production department is fine, let's have a video conference if there is anything."

"How about the people introduced to the Tech Startup Center?"

"Still thinking about it, if nothing else, I think they'll say yes."

"Brothers, how are you thinking about it?"

At night, the miHoYo team was still working overtime in the office, the room was full of smoke, and several people were smoking to refresh themselves, Cai Haoyu looked at Liu Wei:

"Big Viagra, what do you think?"

"Lao Cai, it's a bit complicated, I don't know how to say it."

Liu Wei, who was still a little green, shook his head with a wry smile.

Luo Yuhao also sighed: "Seriously, when I see Zhou Yutang, I feel a little pie in the sky." ”

"Two days ago, I was recording the variety show "Running Man" at Jiaotong University, and I followed it to watch the excitement."

The remaining one Jin Zhicheng said: "People go to high places, water flows to low places, I think we should take a long-term view"

Everyone felt the same way.

A few buddies in our dormitory played college students to start a business, but they couldn't get sponsorship, and they worked hard for more than ten hours a day, stayed up until midnight writing program code, and broke their legs in order to rent office space.

Suddenly, an angel descended.

Zhou Yutang took the initiative to help them find a free office space, and personally came to the door to talk to them, understanding and respecting them, but also spending money to invest in them.

The key is to give them project autonomy.

With such treatment, who is not dizzy?

Anyway, the buddies are a little flattered.

Cai Haoyu, who is the core of the team, came out and came up with an idea: "Then the old rules, vote and decide, follow Zhou Yutang to do it, just write a dry word, and the blank is that we will slowly boil it ourselves." ”

Whenever there is a controversy, it is in this relatively democratic way that the team of several people makes important decisions.

Soon.

Cai Haoyu saw four dry words.

He instantly understood in his heart that in the face of huge interests, everyone thought the same.

At the end of the day, they're just a small game studio, and it's not easy to grow.

The burdens of servers, bandwidth, rent, and employee salaries are all on their shoulders one by one.

They are weak and desperately need a strong enough tree to shield themselves from a space to grow.

And Zhou Yutang wants money and money, and he wants connections and connections.

To be more realistic, Zhou Yutang even has a relationship with Jiaotong University.

If they choose to continue to start a business, it may affect the graduation of graduate school, and it is not a problem to have Zhou Yutang to pave the way for them.

"Brothers."

Cai Haoyu's eyes sparkled: "Stud, it's done!" ”

"Stud!"

I just returned to the capital.

Zhou Yutang received the news from Chen Min.

The company spent 2.8 million yuan to get 48% of the shares of miHoYo Game Studio, and Zhou Yutang became the largest shareholder of miHoYo Studio.

As for Liu Wei, Cai Haoyu, Luo Yuhao, and Jin Zhicheng, each of them retains 13% of the shares.

But everyone also signed an additional contract, and if any shareholder wants to exit the game studio, then Zhou Yutang will have the right of first refusal to buy the shares.

"Let them play freely about miHoYo's affairs, you are responsible for the main web game and mobile game business."

After a simple arrangement of Chen Min's work tasks, Zhou Yutang hung up the phone.

The corners of his mouth showed a slight curvature.

The two-dimensional saving the world is just a joke.

But he is also looking forward to the day when this seed will blossom and bear fruit.

"The latest outdoor variety show "Running Man" recorded Reuters photos exposed, and Zhou Yutang caused enthusiastic fans to besiege him!"

"The most high-value high-value first love CP, my youth is back!"

"Why did Deng Chao fall to the ground laughing?"

The news that Zhou Yutang participated in the recording of the latest episode of "Running Brothers" quickly spread on the Internet.

He himself didn't break the photos of the game session, but there were many viewers at the recording of the show, and fans waited at the recording location of the show, just to squat a few members of the men's group.

On the Reuters photos that the audience broke the news, there are photos of Zhou Yutang and Liu Shishi standing together.

Both of them are wearing red T-shirts, and the CP atmosphere is full.

There is also Liu Shishi's simple ponytail on his head and black sports shorts, his heroic posture is sassy and handsome, and his pair of fair-skinned long legs and beautiful figure are undoubtedly revealed in the running.

"I've been seeing the publicity advertisements of this variety show in the past few months, has Modu Channel spent a lot of money?"

"That's a must, with a production cost starting at 9 figures, Zhou Yutang personally planned the first outdoor variety show in China."

"It was made by Zhou Yutang, so I guess you can take a look."

"I think it's quite interesting to see the show recording Reuters photos."

"Ahhh Dream back to "Those Years", the first love CP is together! ”

"Who's that big-eyed beauty?"

"Jing Tian, have you heard the song "Hello Tomorrow"? Zhou Yutang wrote her debut song, and he also wore a shirt and suspenders to shoot a MV with Da Tiantian at that time. ”

"When did it happen? Does the governor of Jiangdong still have such a black history? ”

"Two years ago, when Zhou Yutang was just popular, Jing Tian had just debuted, and the momentum was not small at that time."

"Hold the grass, this graduation divine comedy, it turned out to be written by Zhou Yutang, envy Zhou Gou, hugging Liu Shishi and Jing Tian left and right."

There is a lot of talk about running men on the Internet.

The recording of the program ended, and by the way, the game field was laid out.

Zhou Yutang returned to the capital the next day, and gave the rest of the work to Tian Ming and the later department of Mingjie Company to deal with.

The main job is to pick out the best shots in the few hours of footage, and control the program and rhythm.

Of course.

Zhou Yutang is not a shopkeeper, he doesn't care about it completely.

As soon as he returned to the capital, he asked Mao Xiaoyu to check and confirm that there was nothing wrong, and posted a photo of Jiugongge with the guests of "Running Man" on Weibo to cooperate with the promotion of the program.

The power of Weibo's popularity fault line was soon revealed.

In less than half a day, topics such as "Zhou Yutang Running Man", "Zhou Yutang, Liu Shishi CP", "Running Zhou Yutang" and other topics on Weibo quickly appeared on the hot search list.

Zhou Yutang also switched to the trumpet diving brush in his spare time.

There are so many netizens who talk about it on the Internet.

A netizen expressed doubts in the comments: "Ask, does anyone know when this outdoor variety show will be broadcast?" ”

Immediately a black fan replied: "Don't donate your eyes to Liu Shishi, the back of the news is not very clear, it will be broadcast on Modu Satellite TV at 9:10 on Friday, and it will be rebroadcast on Saturday and Sunday." ”

The first outdoor variety show in China that spent hundreds of millions of dollars to create has attracted the attention of countless people inside and outside the circle.

Outside the circle, most of them are entertainers, and they are curious about the content of the show.

However, insiders are more concerned about the ratings of "Running Man".

Ultimately.

Whether a program is successful or not ultimately depends on the ratings.

Because of the audience acceptance of this symbol, as well as the ROI of the entire project.

"What does Zhou Yutang think? is a popular variety show, and there is no host who can't play at all, such as Mr. He of Kuaiben, Cao Kefan of The Voice, and Meng Fei of the Masked Singer, who did he invite to host this time? ”

"Deng Chao and Wang Baoqiao are okay, the coffee seats are enough, Sha Yi, Zhang Ruojun, Chen Chichi are reluctant, and the rest of the guests Li Cheng and Jing Tian are almost meaningful, especially Jing Tian, Zhou Yutang probably wants to use this variety show to promote his own people."

"Hehe, outdoor variety show, playing is real, you watch South Korea's "Two Days and One Night", there is no female MC, this Jing Tian is estimated to be Zhou Yutang's new girlfriend, and I want to support her on the top?"

"I feel that Zhou Yutang is a little inflated, he went to record the first episode of the show, and he also bought all kinds of hot search drafts, I can see that he is very anxious, I am still cautious."

"Wait and see the ratings, it's going to be broadcast in a few days."

The variety show departments of many TV stations in the circle are very concerned.

Many industry experts are not optimistic about this outdoor variety show made by Zhou Yutang.

Mainly because of the choice of the host, Deng Chao and others are not strictly speaking, the host is not born, which is simply messy in the eyes of industry professionals.

Imagine that.

"Happy Camp" does not have Teacher He, "Everyday Upward" does not have Wang Han, and "If You Are Honest, Do Not Disturb" does not have Meng Fei.

Without the main C of these field controls, the above variety shows are like something missing, and it is impossible to be so successful.

This time.

The dissent from the industry has brought strong pressure.

Tian Ming is the person standing in front of the stage in Mingjie Company, and he calls Zhou Yutang every night when he has something to do.

On this day, Zhou Yutang rarely found time to end his date with Liu Tianxian, and when he called Qian Bao in the car, he was disturbed.

Pulling out the dishonest little hand from Liu Yifei's waist clothes, Zhou Yutang picked up the phone helplessly: "Hey, Brother Ming, "Snow Leopard" is finished, why don't you go to accompany your sister-in-law, why do you always harass me?" ”

"Men put their careers first, and their children's affection aside."

Tian Ming sighed: "I've had a lot of nightmares in the past few days, and the ratings are not as expected, Zhu Jie said that I am a running man when I talk in my dreams, can you sleep?" ”

"I slept well."

Yesterday, I went to "The Legend of Zhen Huan" to visit the class, and Zhou Yutang just finished connecting with Sister Li.

The mature big sister is Run.。。

But he could also hear that this brother was really worried.

If the "Running Man" project is successful, then Mingjie Company will completely establish the undisputed variety show leader, and the pattern of the entire variety show industry will change.

But I don't know how much hope there is for the project "Running Man" to fail, because the Mingjie company brought up by Zhou Yutang has taken up the interests that make many people blush.

"Don't worry."

Zhou Yutang comforted: "There is no problem with the program mode and content, do a good job of post-editing and publicity, and you will definitely be popular." ”

"I hope so, I will let Xiao Jie go to Lingyin Temple to worship again."

“.”

The corners of Zhou Yutang's mouth twitched slightly, and he hung up Tian Ming's phone, only to notice that Liu Yifei's clear eyes were looking at him: "Xiao Zhou, "Running Man" is about to start? ”

"Xiao Liu, remember to lock on Modu TV on Friday night."

Zhou Yutang shook his head and smiled: "Originally, I felt fine, but being said by Tian Ming made me a little nervous." ”

Liu Yifei chuckled: "Then I'll forward it to you on Weibo and call on fans to watch it." ”

"Qian Bao, you are so good, thank you."

"You thank me, why do you put your hands there."

Liu Yifei, as the second female star with more than 10 million fans, is also undoubtedly the top.

Not only did she repost it, but even her good girlfriends Shu Zhan, Zhang Liangying, and Zhou Xun all reposted Weibo.

Liu Shishi's circle of friends, Hu Ge, Tang Yan, Yang Mi and others also reposted Zhou Yutang's Weibo to promote running men.

In addition, the company's publicity release, Modu TV has also invested a lot of resources for this variety show, and the prime-time advertising is rotated.

The overwhelming publicity has pulled the popularity of running men to a very high level.

In the later stage, I worked overtime all night to finish the editing.

Zhou Yutang communicated with the post-production of "Running Man" by remote video conference at night, confirmed that there was no problem, and put his main energy on the post-production of the film.

But.

Before the broadcast of "Running Man".

But there was a song that became popular with a TV series.
