Today's Internet cafe business is not as easy as it used to be, but that's only relative. It is still a bustling business. In ten years, it will be really difficult to do business. It is said that "e-sports hotels" have become popular.
41-year-old Wang Taili was sitting on a comfortable sofa, drinking water from his thermos cup and looking around from time to time, showing a trace of envy for young people.
Today's children are happy, and Internet cafes are more advanced than before.
When I first learned how to surf the Internet, all the screens were cumbersome and small-sized. When I opened a web page, I would get stuck. I could only chat on QQ, play Fairy Sword, and add friends and I could have fun for three days.
How can it be like now, with such a luxurious screen and chassis... Huh? How do you turn it on?
Wang Taili, who had not been to an Internet cafe for several years, was a little at a loss. After tinkering for a long time, he started up the machine. Looking at the dazzling array of desktop icons, he didn't know what to play.
"..."
He scratched his head and had no choice but to open the browser, jump to Maili through the Maiwo community, click on a video commemorating Michael Jackson and watch it.
Historically, when Michael Jackson passed away in 2009, Wang Taili, an avid fan, was very sad. He also felt that he was already forty and no longer young, so he wrote the lyrics of "Old Boy".
He boiled a kettle of water, sat in front of the computer, and began to enjoy his dinner.
He drove his little Alto through the capital at night. The outside was colorful and glorious, but the inside was as humble as dust. The radio broadcast the news:
"That only means that it's a waste of money!"
…………
Yu Jiajia waited for a while, and Tao Le appeared in the Internet cafe and sat aside. Yu Jiajia said, "There is no good place for you to make an appointment. You have to make an appointment in the Internet cafe. I won't come for many years."
"He is indeed a formidable opponent!"
He had a crush on the class girl, playing "Xiao Fang" on guitar and singing "Xiao Fang" to look cool, but the class girl never even looked at him. Chang Biaoyi was crazy about Michael Jackson and imitated Michael's dance.
"Yes, the gap between the rich and the poor has widened. In the Internet age, we accept all kinds of information. Everyone is gradually understanding the world, but we are still living in a dream."
"Special album?"
"..."
I just can't tell what the position is, planning, publicity, running clients, organizing activities, moving boxes, anyway, as long as a living person can do it, he has a job.
"Charlotte Troubles" was already seven or eight years ago, netizens have already changed, and the themes of the two works are also different.
Xiao Yang chewed the cake and complained to himself: "Oh no, I am a college student after all. It should be called a talent bonus!"
"The number of fresh graduates nationwide has reached 6.1 million, and the total number of people who were not employed last year was 7.1 million!"
A 360 pop-up window popped up.
Baozi's original intention was to see them make a fool of themselves. After all, this was the draft era for young freshmen. Unexpectedly, the Chopstick Brothers were so popular and promoted one after another, so he decided to eliminate them in the next round.
This promotion is essentially Yao Yuan asking 360 to place an advertisement.
"coming?"
They were all nostalgic for youth, but Charlotte asked Xu Wei to sing a few songs to encourage everyone to resign and escape from the shackles of reality in order to sell Meizu MP3s.
How long has it been since we got off to a good start, but we’ve been crushed by wheat again!
"okay!"
"Oh, I didn't know what demographic dividend was before, but it turned out to be a personal experience lesson."
"I will fulfill my promise and support you in making a feature film. But before that, you will make another short film to consolidate it and release an album."
"That is the person I miss and love deeply day and night. How should I express it? Will she accept me..."
At the headquarters of Qiyi.com, Gong Yu made an action that every boss who fights with 99 would do, and threw the cup.
…
When Tao Le heard the news of Michael Jackson's death, he was distracted and rear-ended Baozi, who was sitting in the car in front of him. The bullied Baozi became prosperous, married the class beauty, became a program producer, and was working on a talent show.
.
under
There are also sincere inquiries:
Yu Jiajia doesn't have many opportunities, but he owns a small company and lives a worry-free life.
Eating hand cakes was too monotonous, so he clicked on the new version of "Three Kingdoms" from Qiyi.com and used it as an electronic pickle.
At some point, Xiao Yang burst into tears, unable to control himself at all.
While eating, he watched the new version of "Three Kingdoms". The quality was very poor, and from time to time an off-putting scene would appear. For example, this episode of "The Meeting of Heroes":
It's the same inside and out.
The former younger brother became a company leader, working overtime late at night and eating instant noodles;
"Oh well!"
Gong Yu hung up the phone and thought about the matter. He didn't think who lost or won.
And there is a line of small words: "Click on the video and you will receive a 2-month free membership to Qianqian Music!"
It's off to a good start, the number of users has increased dramatically, and it's quite a blockbuster.
He had just stepped down as CEO, and Wang Taili could not afford to slack off, so he still adopted the previous strategy.
At the street corner in the evening, Chang Biao bought a hand cake and dragged his tired body into a special community not far away.
"Our experiences are similar. I took first place in the county in the art joint entrance examination and my college entrance examination scores were also good. However, the school I applied for was rejected. I originally wanted to repeat my studies and continue my studies, but I gave up due to family and myself reasons at the time."
The class beauty who married Baozi became a canary stuck at home, crying in front of the TV series. I miss the old me who worked hard to memorize English words every day and had dreams in my heart.
"With this kind of martial arts, you can't fight your way in and out of Cao's camp!"
"When I was young, I hoped that I could have a surplus of money and be outstanding. My dream was never to buy a house."
In the old Three Kingdoms, Zhou Yu hosted a banquet in honor of Jiang Qian, and most of the governors drank wine and danced with swords. This was called Zhou Lang's majestic appearance.
"Brother, I want to ask you, is there really no way out if you don't go to college?"
"What sauce do you want?"
"Screenwriter/Director: Tao Le! Starring: Chopstick Brothers (Tao Le, Chang Biao)"
According to general logic, Qiyi.com's goal of building momentum has been achieved, and it should be stopped as soon as it is good, but Gong Yu is not willing to give in and wants to give it a try.
"We are not professional singers!"
Chang Biao subconsciously clicked in, and then jumped to Maili.com, which was the short video "Old Boy".
Robin Li waved his hand: "Go ahead and sign a new contract."
The two became buddies.
"I have voted for this film. You can go back first and discuss the details later."
…………
"There are more and more graduates. It's only a few million. By the time it reaches 10 million, the country will have a headache."
Then came the magical brainwashing of "Little Apple", the Chopstick Brothers became popular all over the country, and they were completely out of the league.
However, when this work becomes popular and we talk about it again, the creator will be embarrassed to tell the truth and will have to tell the public that I was doing what I wanted for my dream...
Guo Fan turned around excitedly and nodded friendly to Tao Le. The negotiation for "The Adventures of Li Xianji" has been concluded. 99 Entertainment is the investor and this will be his first work.
"Snapped!"
I was about to open "Country Love Story" when suddenly there was a bubble sound in the upper right corner.
If you suppress yourself and the opponent successfully breaks through, it will be considered a draw.
There are also things that defy the truth:
"..."
This part is mainly about fun, and the filming is crazy and over the top.
"Oldboy" did it. A song stirred up the emotions of countless people. Who doesn't have youth? Who doesn't have stories in their youth?
Facing the judges who were previously enthusiastic but suddenly became mean, the two were calm and collected. They were very satisfied to have reached this point. If they don't betray now, they won't sing another song. That is their own youth and dream.
Time flies by in the blink of an eye, Tao Le becomes a wedding host, and Yu Jiajia opens a small barber shop. Life is exhausting, career is unsuccessful, and life is bleak.
"It doesn't matter. If you become popular, you will be released. Who cares whether you are a professional or not? With the popularity of this song, you will win the annual pop award."
Golden songs are no problem!"
It’s here, let’s take a look.
When the audience sees a moving work, they will always subjectively integrate the creator's emotions with the work.
How this feeling of anxiety arises is probably because the pressure of life is getting bigger and bigger, the rich are getting richer, and the poor are staying poor. In 2010, I just felt this sign.
At this moment on the screen, countless people were watching them, including those friends on campus:
Two middle-aged men regained their dreams, one picked up the guitar again, and the other started dancing again.
I used their pop-up window to attract traffic to "Old Boy", and at the same time, I also made an "Old Boy" skin on the 360 navigation website.
The two of them nodded and bowed and went out. They looked at each other in the corridor and finally couldn't help but give each other a high-five and jumped into the elevator.
"Oldboy" is about middle-aged people who are not afraid of ridicule and pursue their dreams.
"Yeah, actor..."
At the beginning of the film, the campus is still warm-colored, with "Silence" stickers in the corridors, wooden tables and chairs, everyone is wearing sportswear and school uniforms, imitating Li Lei and Han Meimei, and there is a parrot named Polly.
Putting his fingers on the keyboard, he carefully typed a comment:
That's right, the reason why he didn't rest when he came back was because this was rare personal time.
Chang Biao graduated four years ago and worked an unclear job in a medium-sized company.
I have turned around for you.
"The quality of this film is completely in line with theaters across the country!"
"White pepper!"
"Did you know that among all the contestants, you two are the oldest?"
"Okay, thank you Mr. Yu!"
Xiao Yang looked very happy at first, but now he fell silent. The plastic bag containing the finger cakes was thrown aside, the room with no decorations, and the work text message just sent by the boss on his mobile phone...
Soon, he finished watching the new episode of "Three Kingdoms" and continued to look for food on Qiyi.com. He used to mix wheat grains, but the recent wheat grain movies were not to his liking.
"Seventy large and medium-sized cities saw sales prices rise by 9% year-on-year, with prices of newly built commercial housing rising by 10% year-on-year!"
"Producer: Robin Li!"
The fat man opened a barbecue stall, shirtless and sweating profusely;
Chang Biao made a mistake while hosting a wedding and was criticized by his family members. He had to call people to apologize and did not dare to say a harsh word.
And now.
Tao Le and Yu Jiajia sat down slightly casually. Robin Li looked at them for a while and said with a smile: "Congratulations, "Oldboy" has exceeded 30 million views in three days. You succeeded!"
"It's not that there is no way to go, it's just that the road will be easier after going to college. Of course, it is based on studying hard."
Tao Le plays a school bully who has a group of younger brothers, one of whom is named Baozi, who is often bullied by him.
Today's netizens don't use 99 series, 360 series, or Sohu series. They only focus on Baidu and QQ and almost don't use them. As long as there is a channel on the computer, netizens will see this promotion.
In the final analysis, they all want to become famous and make a lot of money.
"You are only 30 years old, you miss me so much!"
I hit it off with Xiao Yang and decided to make a short film.
"What's wrong with turning 30? The ancients said that when you turn thirty, I will start a big career this year. Mr. Yu told me that as long as this film is successful, he will support me in making a feature film, and then we will be serious
An actor."
There are also three very beautiful artistic words: old boy!
Tao Le follows Robin Li and is an UP owner with hundreds of thousands of fans. He often shoots promotional videos for the company and has also played many small roles.
The colorful world has nothing to do with him, only the pressure of life depends on him.
Go upstairs and open the door. My roommate has just come back.
90% of the success of "Oldboy" lies in this song. Its story structure is monotonous and deliberate, but it doesn't matter, it meets the short and fast pace that people need in the video era.
The two communities had little communication. They exchanged a perfunctory greeting and each was busy with his own business. Xiao Yang worked overtime until late last night and simply fell asleep in the company. He slept for about three to five hours and worked another day at work today.
Unknowingly, the video ended and the ending film returned to the warm campus again.
"Mr. Yu!"
The new version has changed to Xiao Qiao coming out to accompany guests, dancing with his sword and drinking wine, while all the soldiers are beaming and clapping their hands...
Now my monthly salary is 5,000. After excluding rent and living expenses, I can have some money left every month to play games and buy clothes, which is also a pleasure.
A girl in the class was having a hard time and was giving someone a massage on her feet;
"Qiyi and Maili will always be rivals. This is a long tug-of-war. Blocking channels can always increase their traffic and increase their promotion costs, which is beneficial to us in the long term."
Xiao Yang sat on a chair and couldn't recover for a long time. He finally ran to the bathroom to wash his face, and when he came back he let out a long breath. Maybe crying would release the pressure, but he actually felt a lot more relaxed.
A few years ago, when people mentioned those born in the 1980s, they were like children. Now, the oldest born born in the 1980s is already 30 years old, and the youngest is 21 years old.
Just like Guo Degang, he had no choice but to run a small theater. After it became popular, he looked back and said, "Crosstalk must return to theaters. We were the first to advocate Barabala."
"Hand cakes with eggs and sausage!"
Tao Le was not very good as a director, but his career as an actor was smooth sailing. Chang Biaoyi was 11 years younger than him and made enough money, so he gradually stopped showing up.
It was early this morning.
In short and quick content, if it can resonate with the audience, it will be successful.
"One of you is a wedding host and the other is a barber, right?"
If one tenth enters, it will be 30 million!
Xiao Yang's eyes widened and he was amazed. He knew it was a bad show, but he was still willing to watch it because he could get happiness and enjoy his personal time while watching it.
Qiwang used Baidu's resources to suppress Mai Li, taking advantage of the power of going online to launch a massive amount of content in one go.
Once upon a time, he planned to earn a monthly salary of 20,000 yuan, earn 1 million yuan in five years after graduation, and buy an apartment in the capital.
"Suddenly I feel that there is so much pressure on employment now. I didn't have this kind of anxiety before."
The two of them came to the Tuanjie Lake Building together, knocked on the door of Robin Li's office, and went in to see that there was another person inside.
"Since the college entrance examination, all the days seem to be flying. Time flies by in a daze. Now I finally understand why some people always miss the days of studying..."
One holds the guitar, the other plays with his posture, and the music flows slowly.
People often say that the two of them made "Oldboy" as a last-ditch effort to achieve their dreams. This is pure nonsense. They didn't get that far at all. They just used Michael Jackson's death to come up with an idea and then made it into a work.
…
I have been working for three years and have done many, many jobs. I have never given up on painting because I have loved it since I was a child. If you like something, you must stick to it.
It happened that China Film Group and Youku cooperated to create the "11 Degrees of Youth Series", which hired 11 young directors to shoot short films and put them on Youku, including "Oldboy".
"People who have been here can tell you the truth, even if you are working hard, you still need to have a college degree."
For a time, audiences came from all directions happily and left heartbroken.
"China's GDP is 335.353 billion yuan!"
With channels and quality, "Old Boy" became popular all over the country almost overnight. Qianqian Music Network promptly put the song online and provided download services for those who gave away memberships.
In the rain, the class beauty walked by holding an umbrella, still not looking at the boy playing the guitar, but when she walked around the corner, she turned her head and took a look.
Tao Le, who has been around in Jiajia for many years, finally has a representative work and a reputation.
"Oldboy" has 30 million views, indicating that the suppression strategy has been successful.
…………
"Old Boy" also hit this point
Some people’s point.
"Thank you Mr. Yu!"
"Lao Wang!"
However, MaiLi bypasses Baidu channels and uses pop-up windows to divert traffic. MaiMai's 300 million users are rich. One person may have several accounts. 360's 300 million users are very leveraged.
"Mr. Yu!"
Then a series of answers comforted:
He called Wang Taili, but Wang Taili did not agree immediately and said, "Are you sure you want to continue? 99 has found other channels. No matter how much we block it, it won't have any effect."
Xiao Yang took a look and saw what kind of upgrade notice it was, but this notice was different. It actually had skin: it seemed like a person holding a guitar and playing and singing on a dusk day.
Yu Jiajia was perfunctory, but in fact his dream was to be a singer, and it was Chang Biao's dream to be in film and television, and the two of them were not next to each other.
"I feel so strange. I don't even have 1,000 yuan in my pocket, but I somehow think that 100,000 yuan is very little."
Miraculously, of these 11 films, "Oldboy" is the most popular.
"Youth is like a flowing river. Once it's gone and never comes back, there's no time to say goodbye. I'm left numb and without the passion of the past..."
Um?
Chopsticks Brothers signed up to participate.
"There is such an atmosphere here. I miss the days when we were young."
"Oh, Xiao Qiao is flying!"
"I watched it in a university dormitory and burst into tears. I was very surprised why I resonated so much with this film even though I was still on campus."
"If you see this film when you were young, please be glad that your time has not passed away. Please cherish your time."
"Do you think you can become popular?"
"Co-produced by 99 Entertainment and Maili.com!"
"..."
There is a popular word in later generations: anxiety.
