The leisurely life of rebirth

Chapter 403 Never fought such a rich battle

He Zai is a part-time host.

Standing on the stage, looking at the people in the audience.

Most of the students have young faces, and the students' enthusiasm is still very high.

There was a huge group of people, not to mention that the seats were packed, but they were packed to the rafters.

"Today, I am very happy to participate in and host the opening ceremony of this documentary. As we all know, documentaries are a niche industry and have not developed significantly. All the directors have is cameras."

As soon as these words came out.

It caused a burst of laughter from below, with the directors smiling bitterly and the students laughing.

"Three generations have been poor in photography, and their lives have been ruined by SLR cameras. When it comes to documentaries, it's even worse than this. Basically, there are no future generations."

Looking down, the crowd burst into laughter.

He Zai said solemnly: "Don't laugh, everyone. This is true. You have no money and no time. That person is willing to live with you. When you go out to shoot, you will be stalking the person. You will follow him for several months."

"However, it's good now. There are people who support independent documentaries. They don't participate in the creation of content, they only invest money and don't care about anything. Have you ever met such people?"

The students below looked at each other, you looked at me, I looked at you.

I didn’t know how to answer for a while, I had never been in contact with him before.

However, several directors cheered and said, "No, I have never encountered this before."

"Yes, it has never happened before. It wasn't until I met Teacher Zhou that I saw the light of day."

"The Documentary Fund has been established and has helped the filming of more than a dozen documentaries. Currently, 12 films have been completed and several more are being filmed. In addition, there are many documentaries in the process."

He Zai talked eloquently for a long time.

As expected of a cadre, he is so smooth-talking that anyone who travels around has to admire him.

Zhou You felt a little drowsy after hearing it at the end. Seeing that it was not over yet, he made a gesture from below. He stretched his left hand flat and pointed his right finger in the middle of his left hand.

That means it's okay,

"Director He, please accept your magical powers."

Really, where can you find such talents who are capable, capable, and able to endure hardships?

He Zai saw the gesture and quickly closed the topic: "Okay, to make a long story short, let's start watching movies. It is divided into three special areas and plays different content. You can choose to watch according to your own preferences."

When the people below heard this, they applauded. This director is so good at boasting.

The main hall is the largest and can accommodate about 200 people. It plays "The Last Bangbang", which is also the main documentary.

The other two are smaller, can only accommodate 100 people, and show films by other directors.

Zhou You has seen almost everyone, and he didn’t mix with everyone.

Just looked back and forth.

On the first day, everyone was still very curious. They hadn’t had much exposure to documentaries before, so it was a good time to watch it. Also, the reputation of traveling around here was very high, and the students all admired it.

Everyone wants to know what a documentary is, what can be recorded, and what its meaning is.

More people also stayed in the hall.

Watch and chat at the same time.

"Is this true or false? Can people live in this place?"

"Yes, we are poor there. I didn't expect there is such a place now?"

"Do you guys have any from Chongqing? Is there really a bangbang?"

There is actually a classmate from Chongqing present here.

"I'm not very sure. I saw Bangbang several times when I was a kid, but I didn't feel much about it. I didn't expect the reality to be like this!"

If you don’t come into contact with many things around you, you won’t know them, even if you have seen them with your own eyes.

"Is that the person in the documentary standing on the stage?"

"Hey, don't tell me, they really look alike."

"Holy crap, the director did it himself. Is this how documentaries are shot?"

"I don't know. In the documentaries I watched before, the director didn't leave the country. What's going on?"

The students below asked questions one after another.

Curiosity means being very curious and also finding it interesting.

College students are relatively innocent and the most compassionate type. Most of them feel empathy for the suffering groups and are more likely to empathize with the suffering in the world.

Unlike most people in society, who have too much time to take care of themselves, they have no energy to care about other people's affairs.

Students sneered at the statement that "you can clean up the snow in front of your own door and don't care about the frost on other people's tiles". They dismissed it and thought it was irresponsible.

Only when I entered the society did I realize that it was very difficult to clean the snow in front of my own door. I really couldn’t take care of the frost on other people’s tiles, and I had no time to take care of it.

He Zai was hiding behind, listening to the discussions of his classmates. The expressions on his face were very rich, sometimes he was happy, sometimes he was thoughtful, and sometimes he was sad.

It’s really a mixed bag of flavors.

There weren't many people to communicate with before, but now there are so many people suddenly appearing, which is really uncomfortable.

The final Bangbang is very long, with a total of 13 episodes. This time, the rough cut version is shown, not the later movie version. The movie version seems to be almost interesting and slightly lacking.

This is why documentaries are difficult to edit into movies.

Documentaries record real people, not plot creations, and they do not necessarily have conflicts and resolutions, nor do they necessarily have a happy ending.

It is unrealistic to condense such a long time into a short 90 minutes.

Living people must be supported by details.

Without details, the characters will not be full, saturated, or realistic.

Of course, the main reason why documentaries are unprofitable, Zhou You personally believes, is that people already have enough suffering in their lives. Spending money to watch suffering again is not adding more obstacles to life.

How many people are willing to do it?

The documentary directors are also very excited. Both the venue and the accommodation are much better than before.

This is not a shotgun exchange, but a luxury package.

"Old Zhou, do you think this will happen again in the future?" Chen Weijun said worriedly.

You can't blame him for thinking this way. The main reason is that he has never tasted the good days. Now that he is living a good life, he really doesn't want to go back.

If you can have money and leisure to realize your ideal, who wants to live a hard life? It will probably not move anyone but yourself, and you will also be called stupid.

"I don't know, I don't dare to think about it, and I don't want to think about it. It doesn't matter to me. For me, seizing the moment is the most important thing." Zhou Hao is indeed somewhat calm. His rich life experience has caused him to be indifferent to favors and humiliations. mentality.

If you have something, you can live it, and if you don't have it, you can live it.

Taking advantage of Zhou You's support, Zhou Hao planned to shoot some relatively expensive projects. He would improve the image quality first and update the equipment.

I always work alone, and sometimes it’s difficult to shoot many scenes, and I have no skills to focus on the job.

Zheng Qiong is the happiest. She likes her travels very much. It’s basically all-inclusive and she won’t have to worry about money in the next few years.

The same is true for the rest of the directors, who have never fought such a rich battle.

No more picking at the rope, it's tight. The documentary spring is coming, and at least it will be a little warmer than the previous cold winter.

It's really opening, and not much has happened yet.

However, before the opening, I didn’t travel much.

The entire event is only worth two million, including a bonus of one million.

Not many bosses are willing to pay just this amount of money. It has to be said that the bosses are all qualified, unlike Zhou You, who is not qualified at all.

During this period.

Jichao is now on the air.

Zhao Yun took Zhou You to watch together, admiring his masterpiece.

It was just a wake-up call mission at the beginning. To be honest, I don’t think it’s that funny now, it’s just a prank.

It's normal for men to prank each other.

"Old Zhao, do you have a script? None of these people are angry when they get up. I don't think any of them screamed?" Zhou You issued a soul torture.

"This is really not the case. We all know the relationship between them, but they have some control over the order. We are not very familiar with it. We can't do this, and problems can easily arise." Zhao Yun said truthfully.

They are all celebrities, not to mention the funny ones, there is still traffic in them, maybe they will be exposed by the Internet.

Looking at the wake-up call service, there are so many things, including ear twisting, kissing and lipstick, leg hair pulling, and spraying water. If this was replaced by a tour, I would probably be out in one go.

It's all hazy here, and the acting is pretty good.

"Hey, no, why didn't I see the advertisements and sponsors just now?" Zhou You realized that he was an investor and also worked part-time to attract sponsors.

Zhao Yun scratched his head and felt a little embarrassed: "This is a prequel and is not suitable for direct commercial insertion. It will be at the back, at the beginning of the main film."

Zhou You didn't say anything, and looked down patiently.

Finally I saw a few people gathering together, and a person wearing a Douyin doll appeared.

"Hello everyone, welcome to the Extreme Challenge, which is exclusively sponsored by Douyin. Explore endless possibilities, all on Douyin."

"Okay, the sponsor has finished playing, and the main video will begin. Everyone, you guys."

Zhou You nodded, this looks cool, and the slogan is not bad, and it goes well with the extreme challenge.

Now we are waiting for the ratings to come up. Douyin has become popular. Relying on Douyin’s powerful algorithm, it is basically difficult for users to leave after they come. The retention rate is very scary.

Thinking of this, I called Zhang Yiming: "Hey, Brother Ming, your server is sufficient. I think Jichao has started broadcasting."

When Zhang Yiming first started sponsoring, he didn't care much about it. In his opinion, with this money, he might as well promote it on Toutiao himself or get more subsidies.

However, Zhou You made the call in person at the time, and the price was not bad, not very expensive. He had just received a wave of financing, and it was acceptable. It was only 1000 million.

Just treat it as a favor to the major shareholders, but later I didn’t take it to heart.

I was a little surprised when I received a call from Zhou You: "Yes, that's enough. We are going to move forward steadily and rely on our strong retention rate to do it steadily."

"Okay, be prepared. Don't let your server be unable to bear it and lose customers in vain." Zhou You still reminded himself.

As the stock with the greatest potential, it’s impossible not to pay attention to it.

Zhang Yiming hung up the phone, thought for a moment, and realized that Zhou You would not do anything wrong, so he called the engineer Lao Chen over.

"How far has our Douyin server been built now? How many customers can it retain at the same time? What is the maximum peak value?"

As a veteran of the company, Lao Chen is currently specifically responsible for Douyin matters. After thinking about it briefly, he gave the answer:

"It has been in operation for 4 months since its inception. Currently, it has been downloaded by more than 2000 million people, with more than 300 million daily users, and the maximum number it can bear is 1000 million."

Zhang Yiming feels that his development has been fast enough, and he is very satisfied with the data: "Okay, but the variety show we sponsored has been broadcast, and Mr. Zhou asked me to add more servers. Do you think the data will explode?"

Lao Chen didn't hesitate at all. He had followed Zhou You to participate in big scenes: "Brother You said that it must be added. That show will most likely be a hit. Mr. Zhang, have you watched this show?"

The scene is a little embarrassing,

Zhang Yiming didn't watch it at all. As a technical nerd, he never had time to watch entertainment variety shows, which are all young people's favorite thing to watch.

This is what goes around in my mind.

It always feels like I've caught something, but I haven't.

Yes, young people, yes, our software is currently focusing on young people.

Young people accept new things quickly and are willing to try new things. We must first capture the young people group before we can achieve the next step of development.

"I'll come and watch it right away. You can also organize the company's employees to watch it and see the effect. The server will be added to the server now and be ready." Zhang Yiming was very decisive. Since he dared, he went to do it quickly.

"Okay, from President Zhou's perspective, we will definitely achieve leapfrog development." Lao Chen is a loyal fan of Zhou You, and the photos of celebrities on his mobile phone are all brought by Zhou You.

After returning home, I immediately organized everyone to watch it individually.

It's just that the timing is a bit awkward, it's already evening, and it doesn't count as overtime, so the coders watch variety shows together at their workplace.

From notification to organizing everyone to watch, ten minutes were wasted.

Fortunately, I happened to see them snatching the keys.

The three idiots and the three elites started to group up, and conflicts arose. Coupled with the undercover incident, everyone's attraction was immediately captured.

The sense of urgency of the time countdown is also very full, making everyone jump as time goes by.

There are many funny plots in the middle.

Everyone present was very happy watching it, and gradually they forgot about the task of watching. When the play ended, everyone was still not satisfied.

"What do you think of this variety show?" Lao Chen is not young, only in his thirties, although he is considered the elder in the team.

"Not bad, interesting."

"Yeah, we love it."

"They are all famous actors."

"It's a pity that the duration was too short."

Zhang Yiming was also watching with everyone. Seeing everyone's reactions, he understood what Zhou You meant.

This is the key node for overtaking in corners.

Immediately arranged: "Let all departments pay attention and make every effort to promote Douyin downloads."

"First, we will provide JiTiao traffic from Toutiao to create more potential customers and create a win-win situation. We will connect with the people we contact JiTiao and hope that they will cooperate well."

"No problem, this is a win-win situation, I'll contact you." The Propaganda Department immediately agreed.

He continued: "There is also a background to monitor and check the download volume to see if there is any large-scale growth data."

"Old Chen, do a good job in data maintenance and don't hold back."

"Also, when we signed the agreement, did we get the post-broadcast rights?" Zhang Yiming asked.

"Well, it was taken down, but it was promoted across the entire network, and we are just one of them."

"Okay, as long as it can be played, the better the playback volume and the more people who watch it, the better it is for us."

Anyway, what you earn is the conversion rate, as long as your platform can play it.
