Yu Jiajia looked at this face and couldn't help but secretly lamented that her youth was wasted in her prime years, and her beauty ages easily. Now it is no longer her time.
The two chatted for a while, and Yu Jiajia suddenly asked: "Are you filming recently?"
"Yes, a movie called "The Experimenter"."
"Have not heard."
"A small-budget movie that tells the story of an electric shock experiment."
Winona Ryder was a little embarrassed and didn't even want to communicate. She wanted to end the conversation as soon as possible.
Unexpectedly, Yu Jiajia said: "Are you interested in starring in a TV series? Oh, to be precise, it is an online TV series. You must know Hugelive."
"TV drama?"
Winona Ryder was stunned for a moment, and then she was a little surprised. This Chinese female boss, who is very famous in Hollywood, actually took the initiative to invite her.
"Can I know the general story?"
"This show is called "Stranger Things". It is set in the 1980s. You play the mother of a child. The child disappears mysteriously and goes to another world. There are monsters in the other world... These are related to a little girl with super powers. Generally speaking,
It’s a story of love and courage.”
Yu Jiajia spoke perfunctorily and said: "In short, it's nostalgia, the Cold War, occultism, superpowers, a small town in the 1980s, and the board game Dungeons and Dragons. You are the heroine, and the pay will not be unfair to you."
"..."
So direct, Winona Ryder was a little silent and said: "I'll read the script first."
"Of course, here is my contact information."
Yu Jiajia left a business card and turned away. When she returned to Yao Yuan, she was still sighing: "Beauty is getting old! I feel pity for her! If only she were 20 years younger."
"If she were 20 years younger, would it still be your turn? I would snatch her away!"
Yao Yuan sneered and asked, "Have you reached an agreement?"
"She is not a fool, she will definitely agree."
"Stranger Things" is one of the most popular series in Netflix history. It has been filmed for four seasons. The fourth season set a record of 1.3 billion hours of viewing.
Currently, Hugelive only has one major mainstream drama, "The Black Robe", while other dramas such as "Black Robe", "Warrior" and "Witch" are popular among niche groups. It is bound to develop new projects in order to compete with Netflix.
When others compete, they rack their brains to make new movies.
When Yao Yuan competes, he takes his opponent's works and shoots them himself. One plus and one subtraction is a double blow.
"Actually, I have always had an idea..."
He looked at Winona who had already walked out of the venue with her agent, and sighed: "I want to get Jennifer Connelly and Winona Ryder to play double heroines in a movie, but it's a pity that they are both old and can't do it now.
Means nothing."
"I noticed that you are very concerned about Hollywood!"
Yu Jiajia said strangely.
"Who doesn't have a dream of entertainment?"
Yao Yuan did not deny it, saying: "It's just that I'm too lazy to do it, otherwise I would have covered domestic entertainment, Hong Kong entertainment, Taiwan entertainment, Japan, South Korea, Europe and the United States."
The two of them chatted, and the dinner gradually came to an end. The one who went home went home, and the other had a good time.
Hollywood's life is full of life, day and night.
Many people came over to invite people, hoping to have a chance to spend the night together, but they were all rejected. The two of them left in a hurry and couldn't leave! It's okay if the man made an appointment with Jiajia. He may not understand it, but several male models are similar.
What's going on with this guy standing in front of Yao Yuan?
Looking for a handsome boy to vent your anger on?
Yao Yuan is not Shi Xue, raising a beautiful girl or something.
…………
After attending the Oscars, Yao Yuan went to Hugelive for a tour, and then went to San Bruno, California, where YouTube is headquartered.
It covers an area of approximately 200 acres and consists of 13 buildings.
YouTube, commonly known as YouTube in China.
In 2005, it was jointly founded by three founders, one of whom is Chinese named Chen Shijun. In the wave of Internet entrepreneurship in the United States, there are actually many Chinese figures, but not many start well and finish well.
In 2006, Google acquired YouTube for US$1.65 billion and has existed as a subsidiary since then. YouTube, like Facebook, Netflix and other platforms, has always wanted to enter China, the world's largest market.
However, domestic control over this aspect has been strict and has not been successful.
This year, the number of global users of YouTube has reached 800 million. What do you mean? Well, the number of users is about the same as that of QQ.
As the old saying goes, the domestic market is so big that you can eat and drink enough without going out. Companies in later generations chose to go overseas, but the internal problems were too great and they had no choice but to go overseas.
Otherwise, it wouldn’t be nice to stay at home!
"Yao!"
An American woman in her forties came out to greet her. Her name was Susan Wojcicki, the current president of YouTube.
"I hope I didn't bother you!"
"How could it be? We receive guests from all over the world every day, and their talents and ideas often benefit us a lot. We like to make friends."
Before Yao Yuan came to the United States, he proposed to visit in the name of his company, and the company readily agreed.
99 is not well-known among the happy people in the United States, so happy! But the real Internet bosses all know how powerful this Chinese company is.
Currently there are two products that are reaching the world, one is Hugelive and the other is mobile games.
Susan led Yao Yuan's team on a tour and explained the company's operating philosophy. Her eloquence was skillful and her lines were concise. At first glance, it seemed that she had done this regularly.
“Each of our teams has its own work space and rest area, as well as a gym, swimming pool, restaurant, cafe, etc.
We have a special management mechanism called the 20% time rule, which allows employees to use 20% of their working time to carry out their own innovative projects and personal interests to stimulate employees' creativity and passion..."
Susan was full of pride and couldn't stop talking.
Yao Yuan nodded and smiled, appearing polite.
are you crazy!
You are a video website, and the innovation of the video website only lies in technology and algorithms, which are all the work of engineers. If you leave it to every employee, what else can they do besides fishing?
No wonder Twitter laid off 80% of its employees and can still operate normally...
After a set of tour guide procedures were completed, Susan invited Yao Yuan to sit in the reception room. There was a conversation, and there were people videotaping and taking photos - these were normal, and Yao Yuan often received visiting guests.
"Yao, you are also a successful Internet content provider in China and have an excellent video website. I hope you can give us some suggestions."
"I can't do anything about making money. Video websites all over the world are losing money."
"Ha, it's natural!"
The two of them smiled, and Yao Yuan organized his language and said: "There are only three types of video platforms, mainly for the majority of free creators, mainly for film and television dramas, and a mixture of the two.
My platform is the third type, which has been established since its inception and has never changed.
When making videos, you have to be prepared for long-term losses. What you fear most is launching various so-called innovative payments for profit. YouTube started with video sharing, and creators are the foundation.
As for suggestions, I just think that you should take good care of the creators, and don't blindly transform and make a lot of self-made dramas, and end up with nondescript ones."
