They even specially invited a group of young models to warm up the atmosphere and have some seafood. This was requested by Little Ma, the Four Heavenly Kings, Fatty Ding, and Zhang Xiaolong. They're so wealthy, they should indulge themselves and try some fresh abalone.
"Cough cough cough cough, Brother Ma, you guys jump, I'm going to rest for a while, I'll come back later."
Exhausted, Shen Fang picked up his champagne and walked to the Peninsula Hotel observation deck. He saw Liu Qianqian, Fan Xiaopang, and Chen Huilin chatting away around Man Shen.
"Ladies, let's have a drink."
Chen Huilin looked up and said, "Why did you stop dancing? Honey, you're so sexy. How come you dance like that?"
Shen Fang sat down with a smile and put his arm around Liu Qianqian: "Are you happy? Today I have finally completed a key step in my career. Putting everything else aside, with these shares, I will be able to sit on the throne of the richest man in the country in less than 10 years. I can eat and spend more than I can ever spend in a lifetime."
"The richest man???" Fan Xiaopang was incredibly excited. Then she'd be the richest man's woman!!!
Upon hearing this, Chen Huilin exclaimed in surprise, "Penguins have such great potential?"
Shen Fang flashed his bright white teeth, leaned back on the sofa, and looked at the full moon in the sky.
"Li Ka-shing rose to the position of the richest man by relying on real estate, and I can surpass him by relying on Tencent. The Internet is the future of the world, and technology is the primary productive force."
"You may not be able to understand it now, and neither can anyone else. You may only think it's amazing that the internet connects the whole world through a network, an email, and a chat tool, but its value has not yet been fully realized. In less than 15 years, the internet will be fully popularized in China, and then you will know how powerful the internet is."
Liu Qianqian looked at Shen Fang with curiosity.
"Brother Chen Fang, please tell us about it."
Fan Xiaopang and Chen Huilin also looked at Shen Fang with admiration. They loved listening to Shen Fang talk so eloquently. Confident men are the most handsome, and he was especially handsome today. He looked so dashing, living life to the fullest.
Shen Fang smiled and said, "Alright, then I'll tell you about what's relevant to you. As a new type of media, the internet, due to its excellent interactivity, diverse forms of expression, and outstanding appeal, will become the 'fourth media' after newspapers, radio, and television. Major news websites, portals, enterprises, and private companies have all opened up this publicity channel. In the future, online media will be the most important link in publicity. Longteng's path is to integrate the internet across the sky, the ground, and people."
Speaking of celebrities like you, whether you become popular or not won't just be determined by media reviews; online traffic will also play a significant role.
Fan Xiaopang frowned and said, "So, does that mean as long as you manage your online presence well, you can forge a new path? Wouldn't that completely change everything?"
"That's not quite right. First and foremost, your most important task is to star in hit shows and movies to gain recognition. Online media is just a complementary tool. If used well, you can earn a lot of resources, money, and fame. But there are advantages and disadvantages. Once online media becomes widespread, countless eyes will be watching you. You might even get a photo taken and posted online just because you're out having a meal, causing a huge uproar. In the future, it will be the era of paparazzi, and privacy will become extremely important."
"Of course, the arrival of the internet age is a golden period for entertainment stars like you. You will earn more and more money faster and faster, and your fame and influence will also increase. So you need to build your own persona and attract fans. Cultivate fans and get their support. The industry will become more and more lively in the future. Now, if you make a mistake, the media will report on it, and you will forget about it after a while. After all, the number of people who pay attention is only so many. But with the advent of the internet age, if you make a mistake, everyone will pay attention. You won't be so easy to forgive then. You might be removed from the industry and completely blacklisted."
Fan Xiaopang stammered, "That's terrifying."
Shen Fang's lips curled slightly; these words were deliberately meant to scare Fan Xiaopang. So what if the whole nation was paying attention? With the advent of the internet age, public relations departments have sprung up. Things will still work the same way. It's just that the general public isn't as uninformed as they used to be; the top media companies still hold the reins. They have plenty of ways to control the narrative. Besides, with the globalization of entertainment, celebrities are all vying to be on the trending topics, so naturally, they'll be forgotten.
The advent of the internet age signifies the arrival of an era of mass entertainment. With the economic boom, people's entertainment needs are increasing, which corresponds to the booming development of the film and television industry and the self-media industry. Celebrities will also receive more and more attention. After all, they earn so much and have so many fans. Whatever they do will be followed by a lot of people. Even an ordinary photo can cause a lot of discussion among fans. Any topic with a bit of fluff can cause public opinion.
Chen Huilin noticed that Shen Fang's smile had been aloud chuckled.
He's just trying to scare you.
Fan Xiaopang also realized what was happening and rolled his eyes at Chen Fang.
"Hate."
Shen Fang smiled and said, "I'm here for you, so don't worry."
