The Rebirth of the Internet Celebrity Godfather

Chapter 283 Trip to Dizzy Headquarters

Dijing, No. 48, Zhichun Road, HD District, Bytedance Headquarters.

"Brother Cheng, I've been waiting for you!" Mu Xiaoqiang smiled and held Cheng Yi's hand.

"Brother Mu, long time no see."

"Haha, it's been more than half a year. In the past six months, Brother Cheng has done a lot of earth-shattering things. As expected, when I first met Brother Cheng, I knew that I will make great achievements."

Cheng Yi laughed and said: "I didn't drink when we met last time, so I must drink this time."

"necessary!"

Mu Xiaoqiang looked at the two beauties behind Cheng Yi again, and felt sour in his heart. He was young and rich, and accompanied by beautiful women, he was still as beautiful as the two.

So enviable!

Envy flashed across his eyes and he said:

"These two are Miss Zhang and Miss Xia, right? Welcome!"

"Hello, Mr. Mu!"×2

"Come in quickly, Director Zhang has been waiting for you for a long time." Mu Xiaoqiang quickly led the way.

…

"They're coming up? Okay!"

Zhang Yiming put down the phone, looked at the lady opposite apologetically, and said:

"Editor Li, I'm sorry, I have a few guests here. I'm afraid today's interview can only be done here."

Li Li is the editor-in-chief of People magazine. This time she specially came to interview Zhang Yiming and made him the cover character of People magazine.

Hearing this, she smiled: "It's okay, Mr. Zhang, you are busy, we will make an appointment again."

After shaking hands, Zhang Yiming opened the door himself and sent Li Li out.

It happened that Mu Xiaoqiang was leading Cheng Yi and the others up at this time. The moment he saw Cheng Yi, Editor Li suddenly couldn't walk.

"Director Zhang, you didn't say that your guest is Cheng Yi."

Hearing the elegant meaning of Xianyin, Zhang Yiming raised his eyebrows and asked: "Editor Li, are you also interested in Cheng Yi?"

"Of course." Editor Li said with a smile.

The singer-songwriter of the divine song "Youth" is a tens of millions of Internet celebrities. He spent a huge sum of 37 million to build a school. One video brought down an entire industry.

Which label is not legendary enough?

As he was talking, several people had already come closer.

Cheng Yi crossed Mu Xiaoqiang and stretched out his hand, his young face full of respect and sincerity:

"Dr. Zhang, it's better to meet him than to be famous. Today I finally got a glimpse of his face. In one word, handsome!"

"Ha ha ha ha!"

Although Zhang Yiming has been in Vanity Fair for a long time, this was the first time he heard this little phrase, and he burst out laughing.

"Although this is our first meeting, Xiao Cheng and I have been close friends for a long time."

"Yes!" Cheng Yi hit the snake with a stick, "No wonder I fell in love with Director Zhang as soon as we met, and I regretted meeting him so late. The intimacy in my heart kept rising."

He held Zhang Yiming's hand and shook it vigorously.

Zhang Yiming patted Cheng Yi on the shoulder and said, "When you are in Imperial Capital, come to the company more often."

"Okay, if Director Zhang says so, I will definitely come more often."

Mu Xiaoqiang was astonished by Cheng Yi's self-confidence and was so impressed that he felt so unbelievable.

This guy is so scary!

"Director Zhang, this is Zhang Hanran, a half candy, and this is Xia Xuan, a cat-head lolita." Cheng Yi stepped aside and introduced.

Compared with Cheng Yi, who is at ease in social circles and good at dancing, the two women are far behind.

Zhang Hanran has a noble spirit and can't let go of her figure. If she were like Cheng Yi, it would be impossible to beat her to death.

The cat-headed lolita was a little ashamed of herself, her body was tense and she couldn't say a single word.

She particularly admired Cheng Yi's performance.

"Who is this sister?" Cheng Yi noticed Editor Li.

Zhang Yiming had a teasing smile on his face, sister?

Damn it, this young man! How dare you scream!

However, Editor-in-Chief Li smiled broadly in his heart: "I am the editor-in-chief of People Magazine. Hello, Mr. Xiaocheng!"

"Hey, hello, Sister Li!"

Cheng Yi felt a shiver in his heart, "Character, this is one of the top magazines in China. It is published by the People's Publishing House and has been in existence for more than 37 years."

The target is the Mai Times magazine, and countless people have been interviewed, including great men like Grandpa Yuan and Yang Zhenning, athletes like Li Ning and Zhang Jike who have brought glory to the country, and entertainment stars such as Beyond Sister, Liu Yifei, and the Man Who Leaked Poo.

.

Zhang Yiming interrupted: "Xiao Cheng, Editor Li is very interested in you!"

"oh?"

Cheng Yi looked at Editor Li.

Editor-in-chief Li said: "Mr. Zhang is right. I am very happy to see Liexin and would like to make an appointment to interview Mr. Xiaocheng."

"That's great. I like to be interviewed. So Sister Li, how about we make an appointment?"

"Add your contact information."

After leaving each other’s contact information, Editor Li took his leave.

Later, Zhang Yiming welcomed Cheng Yi and the others into the office.

On this trip to the imperial capital, the illegal Super Celebrity Night was just a gold medal award ceremony, and the meeting with Zhang Yiming was the most important thing, so Cheng Yi took Zhang Hanran and Maotou Loli to set off in advance.

After 2017, ByteDance devoted a large amount of resources to DouYun. DouHun has become a strategic product of ByteDance, far more important than Toutiao.

By June, the large-scale money-spending offensive had already achieved remarkable results. The number of daily active users of Dizzy had increased tenfold. Today, the daily daily active users have reached 20 million, with more than 7 million registered users, and it has rapidly emerged as a short video platform.

The fourth largest platform in the field.

Follow closely behind Fei Bo, Chopstick Hands, and X Station.

The capital market is all looking at him with suspicion, which is why People Magazine came to interview him.

After taking their seats, Zhang Yiming first asked about the lives and work of Cheng Yi and the other three, and whether they were satisfied with Douyun. Later, Zhang Yiming and Cheng Yi began to talk about the future and prospects of the short video industry.

Cheng Yi revealed some future trends to him from time to time, which made him confused and shocked, but also unable to truly see the whole picture.

Oops, I'm so anxious, please give me more! It's squeezed out bit by bit, and I can't get up or get off the ground, it's really uncomfortable!

Zhang Yiming wished he could get Cheng Yi to talk by candlelight at night.

The two beauties Zhang Hanran and Maotou Loli were like air in his eyes.

"Mr. Zhang, I actually came with a purpose for visiting you this time." Cheng Yi said.

"Oh? What's the purpose?"

"I want to cooperate with DouHun and become an MCN organization that officially cooperates with DouHun."

"Tell me more about it."

"Mr. Zhang, the short video industry market will be extremely broad in the future. I summed it up, there are three more and three fast.

Three more: many subdivisions, many Internet celebrities, and many disputes.

Three fasts: rapid changes in wind direction, rapid fame, and rapid overturning.

The so-called "three more", with the rapid development of the short video industry, there will inevitably be countless subdivisions, such as rural internet celebrities, farming internet celebrities, and inventive internet celebrities. If they don't exist now, it doesn't mean there won't exist in the future. So there are a lot of subdivisions.

If there are more internet celebrities, there will be more internet celebrities that can be accommodated. When there are more internet celebrities in the market, there will inevitably be more disputes.

Let’s talk about Sankuai. Short videos are still an emerging industry. A decree from above may determine the direction of this industry. What is suddenly popular may not be popular anymore, or even be blocked.

In addition, in the Internet age, it is normal for Internet celebrities to suddenly become popular and overturn. Therefore, no matter from which aspect, managing Internet celebrities by the platform is not worth the gain and is thankless.

It's troublesome and difficult to manage, and it's also easy to overturn. It's all in vain, and it may even cause a fishy smell.

Therefore, it is better to separate the platform and Internet celebrities, let Internet celebrities be managed by specialized organizations, and then export them to the platform.

The platform still makes money from the platform, and Internet celebrities are managed by MCN organizations.

Just like..."

Cheng Yi gave an analogy: "For example, for food delivery software, the MCN organization has built the internet celebrities, and then the platform only needs to upload the internet celebrities for users to see."

Zhang Yiming thought carefully, and after a long while, he looked at Cheng Yi and said: "Mr. Xiao Cheng, then——

What do you want?"

Cheng Yi put on a nice smile and said: "Two points. First, the bloggers under my banner need the traffic of Doutun. Second, if other MCN companies move in after Doutun, I hope Director Zhang can ensure that our company is given priority.

class."
