Chapter 210 Showdown! A magnificent performance!

The host lineup of Renren Night is also very gorgeous, with almost all of Mango TV’s top hosts appearing.

Not only that, a nationally renowned CCTV host, Mr. Zhao, also appeared on the stage. He left CCTV three years ago, but his unique voice is still fresh in the memory of countless people even twenty years later.

Spring is here, everything comes back to life, and it is the breeding season for animals.

“Since ancient times, this has been a land where miracles were born.”

“And in the past twenty days, we have witnessed a miracle.”

"For a long time, in the Internet world, China has always been an imitator, learner, and follower!"

"Whatever happens in the United States, China will have it."

"The United States has Yahoo, and China has Sohu. The United States has Amazon, and China has Dangdang. The United States has eBay, and China has Taobao."

"Oh, I almost forgot, Mr. Zhang Chaoyang, you are sitting down below."

The camera turned to Mr. Zhang Chaoyang, who was still wearing a slightly wrinkled suit, looking extremely handsome, and waved at the camera.

"We cannot blame this phenomenon, because imitation itself is a part of learning. Learning from advanced people and excellent people is nothing wrong."

“But now everything has changed.”

"Another brand-new business model has emerged in China."

"A social networking site, from nothing, became the number one in the country and the world."

“It only took twenty days!”

"This is certainly a miracle, and now we invite the creator of this miracle."

"Ms. Wu Lingxi, CEO of Renren."

The camera turned to Wu Lingxi, and the audience in front of the TV suddenly let out a burst of surprise.

This woman's face is really beautiful.

Exquisite and aggressive beauty.

Liao Feng, who was standing next to her in a suit and tie, looked at her tenderly, letting all the viewers in front of the TV know that this most beautiful CEO already had a boyfriend.

Wu Lingxi stood up and said, "This is not just my miracle, it is the miracle of all my colleagues at Renren, especially my comrade-in-arms, Mr. Chen Yizhou, the co-CEO of Renren."

"Mr. Chen, please go on stage in my place."

The camera turned to Renren's co-CEO Chen Yizhou, who walked to the center of the stage.

"I know that people don't want to see me, so I try to be as fast as possible."

"The number one social networking site in the country, the number one social networking site in the world, is this reputation so important?"

"Isn't it just socializing? What's so great about it?"

“No, it represents more than just social networking, it represents an Internet revolution.”

“The revolution from WEB1.0 to web2.0!”

“It may seem like nothing now. But when this revolutionary wave sweeps the whole world, we will know how great it is to go from zero to one.”

"We are very fortunate that this revolution towards web2.0 was born in China!"

"This is the first time since the birth of the Internet that China has led a small industrial revolution."

“So 2004 is definitely a year worth remembering.”

"There is always one theme in my entrepreneurial life, and that is social interaction!"

"In 1998, a few of us started a business and established the Alumni Directory. In less than a year, it became the world's number one Chinese community."

"Later, I felt that I couldn't grow the business on my own, so I sold it to Sohu."

"Then I started another business, Dudu.com, also a social networking site."

"This time, Ms. Wu Lingxi and I started a business again, still in the social field."

"But this is my last time starting a business. I have found my true ideal and a truly great career."

“That’s Renren.”

"Life is like a boomerang. I threw it out a few years ago, and a few years later it flew back and hit my old waist."

"I am very honored to report to everyone that the world's number one social networking site is in China, and the world's number two social networking site is also in China!"

"According to Alexa's authoritative data, Renren's highest daily IP traffic is 31 million!"

"Facebook's highest daily IP traffic is 7.9 million!"

"Renren has 39.8 million registered users, and Facebook has 13.9 million registered users!"

"We are undisputedly the No. 1 and No. 2 in the world, and as for the No. 3, we are completely invisible."

"This is the pride of Renren and Facebook."

The fanatical fans of Ergou in front of the TV will be furious to hear this. You are praising Facebook on the surface, but you are actually stepping on it to get to the top.

You didn't say a word about Renren completely copying Facebook?

Facebook is the real pioneer of the WEB2.0 revolution, but you didn't mention it at all.

And you only mentioned the highest daily IP visits, isn't that brought by CCTV's Spring Festival advertising? Was it brought by the crazy lucky draw?

It gives people the feeling that Renren's traffic is now four times that of Facebook, and the number of registered users is three times that of Facebook.

At that time, this was very effective for laymen and even investors.

They only look at the data and the surface results.

"It took Facebook a year and a half to complete, but we at Renren only took half a month to complete it, and we exceeded the target by two or three times."

"We all respect the Facebook leader, but I still want to say from the bottom of my heart that if you don't move forward, you will fall behind."

"Because we represent the Chinese Internet, we want to lead the new wave of the Web 2.0 revolution, so we won't stop and wait for you."

"I remember he once said, 'Brothers climb mountains and each of us works hard.'"

"Then we will lead the Chinese Internet's WEB2.0 forces to the top."

"Take care Facebook, please take care, Master Ergou!"

Damn, this passage inexplicably reminds me of a lot of historical events.

It gives people a feeling that although Facebook and Ergou were one step ahead, they are now lagging behind and are no longer advanced.

Then, this flag will be handed over to Renren, as if this is the choice of the Internet revolution.

"Survival of the fittest is the law of survival!"

"It will be up to us at Renren to explore and move towards the future."

"Please welcome our flag bearer, Ms. Wu Lingxi, Chairman of Renren."

The audience burst into warm applause.

The camera focused on Wu Lingxi's face. She stood up gently, revealing her supermodel figure.

Liao Feng also stood up and gently hugged Wu Lingxi.

Wu Lingxi walked to the center of the stage.

"I am a Hong Konger. I have many friends. Some of them are in Hong Kong, some in Macau, and some in T-bend..."

"Many of them are also college students. They actually knew about Facebook quite a long time ago and found it very novel."

"But when they wanted to register, they found they couldn't."

"So they asked me a question, why can't we sign up for Facebook?"

"I had a question at the time. Yes. These are all Chinese lands and Chinese universities. Why not allow them to register on Facebook?"

"Of course, I still don't have an answer to this question."

Fuck! Awesome! Wu Lingxi's words were extremely powerful.

From a political and structural perspective, we deny Facebook and the leader Ergou.

Wu Lingxi pressed a button and a picture appeared on the PPT on the big screen.

"We are very happy to share with you that among the 39.8 million registered users, nearly one million are from Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan, and more than one million are from overseas!"

The situation improved all of a sudden.

Your Facebook is still only in the university circle in mainland China, but we have already gone global.

But this is nonsense, because the so-called overseas users are actually the original users of chinaren. Because many people go abroad to study, the IP is overseas.

But if you are not an expert, who cares about this? You can only see one result: Facebook’s structure is not good.

Only Renren has an international vision.

"Last year, Ergou released three works."

“Release an album for grassroots singers.”

“I invested in a movie called Crazy Stone.”

“Produce the first 3D game in China.”

“The first two works have already come out and have been very successful, and we are encouraged by that.”

"I am a Hong Konger, but even more so a Chinese."

"So I seem to have a natural sense of mission to make Hong Kong and the mainland more closely integrated and more friendly to each other."

"Let's let the products from our inland areas go overseas. Let the products from Hong Kong go to the inland areas."

"So I am very honored to introduce that we will cooperate deeply with Jiangnan TV and Hong Kong TVB to produce a TV program "Million Heroes". This program will not only be broadcast on Jiangnan TV, but also on Hong Kong TVB."

"We will help mainland TV programs go to Hong Kong and overseas!"

Suddenly, the camera turned to Mr. Qiu Tong, the vice president of Jiangnan Radio and Television.

Ergou's fanatical fans in front of the TV immediately felt something was wrong, especially some deep supporters, such as Deputy Director Zhang Qizhao of the Kecheng Education Bureau.

He is very sharp in this regard.

It was immediately discovered that Wu Lingxi was hitting the weak spot of Leader Ergou and directly killing into the Lightning Group's biggest profit center, Jiangnan TV.

To destroy Lin Xiao’s biggest source of revenue.

Moreover, she also elevated the program to a higher level, helping it to go overseas and be broadcast in Hong Kong.

This will undoubtedly bring great reputation to Qiu Tong and Jiangnan TV.

It just so happens that TVB also needs this program because ATV had a very popular program a few years ago called "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire" hosted by Chen Qitai.

ATV and TVB are natural rivals.

Originally, the program on Jiangnan TV was called "Crazy Heroes", but in order to cooperate with TVB and take advantage of the popularity of "How to Tell a Millionaire", it was renamed "Millionaire Heroes".

Wu Lingxi's family is indeed a wealthy family in Hong Kong, with great influence, and every move they make is a big one.

There is only one word in the minds of all the fanatical fans of the Ergou leader: backstab! Shameful backstab!

Jiangnan TV stabs leader Ergou in the back.

But Jiangnan TV thought it was normal. If you, the leader Ergou, went to Shanghai TV and Zhijiang TV, why can’t we go to Renren? “Last year, the leader Ergou said something that really touched me.”

"Help ordinary people, achieve success for ordinary people, and enable grassroots people to realize their dreams."

"So the success of Daolang and Phoenix Legend is really remarkable."

“But unfortunately, it’s still too little.”

"We are Renren.com, the national Renren.com, and the world's Renren.com!"

“It is a stage for ordinary people all over the world. We hope to help countless ordinary people realize their dreams, achieve success and achieve glory.”

“So I’m announcing our second entry.”

"Renren will become a comprehensive strategic partner with Mango TV and will launch the Super Girl program this summer."

"Not only girls from mainland China, but also girls from Hong Kong, Macau, Taiwan, and even overseas can sign up through Renren.com to participate in this year's Super Girl."

"This will become the world's largest talent show, and we will help hundreds, thousands, tens of thousands of girls realize their dreams."

"Complete the transformation from ordinary people to stars."

“Girls helping girls, girls helping girls.”

When these words were spoken, many people were slightly shocked.

Awesome!

This magnifies the mission of Master Ergou tenfold or even a hundredfold.

Didn't you help grassroots singers such as Daolang, Phoenix Legend, and Ou Feifei to achieve success? Those were just a few people? We have in-depth cooperation and strategic collaboration with Mango TV to help hundreds of girls realize their dreams.

All of the high-end fans of Master Ergou felt deeply that this time the Master really encountered an extremely powerful enemy.

At least countless girls were infected after hearing these words.

Aren’t you, Ergou, the leader of LSPs? Then Wu Lingxi would become the idol of countless girls.

"Movies are about creating dreams."

"I love movies. For a long time, Hong Kong movies were popular throughout Asia, conquering South Korea, Japan, and Southeast Asia..."

"Hong Kong films are our country's cultural treasure."

"Crazy Stone, a small production with a budget of 7 million, eventually earned 120 million at the box office. This is an exciting and inspiring victory."

"This represents a victory for WEB 2.0 and a victory for the general audience."

“The Internet can empower movies. The Internet can be a multiplier for movies.”

"Renren is the first social networking site and the first website of WEB2.0. It has an unshirkable responsibility in the cultural industry."

"Next, we will work with friends such as Huayi, Emperor Entertainment Group, Media Asia, etc. to jointly produce and launch blockbuster movies."

"A World Without Thieves by Director Feng, The King's Avatar 2 by Cheng Long, and 2046 by Wong Kar-wai."

At this time, the camera swept across director Feng Dapao, Jacky Cheung, Andy Lau, Wong Kar-wai, Danny Leung, Takuya Kimura and others.

Just looking at the cast and the stars, it's a mega production.

It was as if it was going to instantly kill all of Master Ergou’s film works into trash.

A World Without Thieves, directed by Feng Dapao, stars Andy Lau, Ge You, and Li Shuangbing.

In "The King's Woman 2", there are also Jacky Cheung, Fan Bing'er, Daniel Wu and others.

"2046" is even more luxurious, with Gong Li, Zhang Ziyi, Liang Chaowei, Kimura Takuya, Wang Fei, Maggie Cheung and many more.

In fact, some of these movies were already mostly completed, and Renren.com only joined in later and invested some money. More importantly, these movies saw the success of Crazy Stone, so they also wanted to replicate the public opinion on Renren.com.

But no matter what, these movies have become Renren's weapons.

The weapon that strangles Facebook and strangles the leader Ergou.

Renren actually does not participate in the production, it is just pulling in allies from the Hong Kong and Beijing circles to hunt down and block you.

There was no preparation last year, but your "Crazy Stone" broke through the siege and stole the limelight.

Last year, there was only one medium-sized production, "Cell Phone," competing against you, but this year, there are a bunch of big productions out to siege you.

I don't believe you can still kill it.

"Not only that..."

Wu Lingxi paused for a moment.

"We will also co-invest with China Film Group, Moonstone Entertainment of the United States, and Capgen Investment Group to produce a world-class production, The Promise, directed by Cannes Award winner Chen Kaige."

"The total investment in this film has reached 300 million RMB!"

"It will be the most expensive movie in the history of our country."

As soon as these words were spoken, the whole audience was shocked again.

This... is really a big deal. The picture immediately froze on Director Chen's face and his beautiful wife.

At this moment, everyone had only one thought in their mind.

It's almost time to end it.

Queen Wu Lingxi, please put away your magical powers.

But here she had a long pause.

"One more thing!"

Depend on?!

besides?

"We, Renren.com, Hongen Group and Zulong Studio have jointly created a large-scale 3D game, Perfect World, which will be tested in December 2004!"

"The total investment in this game is 10 million US dollars!"

“This is a small DEMO, please enjoy it.”

Next, a short clip of the "Perfect World" game appeared on the big screen.

Some people couldn’t understand it, but those who played the game exclaimed in amazement.

Wow?!

Is this... is this our domestic game? The graphics are so good? And it's in 3D? These mountains, these ancient Chinese buildings, these characters, these water flows?

It was done so well, far beyond anyone's imagination.

"Master Ergou said he wanted to make the first domestically produced 3D online game, but actually I want to say that we are the first real large-scale 3D game." Wu Lingxi's words were very calm.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

"And Zulong Studio has always been the strongest game studio in the country."

“Just like IP access data and user registration numbers, strong is strong and weak is weak!”

However, it was like a poisonous sword, stabbing fiercely at the Lightning Group and the leader Ergou.

She just wanted to take away all the honors from Leader Ergou.

All-round encirclement and suppression.

TV shows, movies, games and more.

Moreover, she does not lead the production. She just uses her connections and political and business forces to form alliances and make investments.

As for Lightning Group, they have to lead and produce all projects themselves in order to disperse their attention.

On Wu Lingxi's side, he is uniting a large number of capital forces and fighting as a group to defeat Leader Ergou in all fields.

Originally, the investment in the game "Perfect World" was about 30 million, and it was not until March 2005 that it was internally tested.

But Renren gave too much, doubling the investment and speeding up the production.

It is to compete with "Zhu Xian" for the reputation of the first domestic 3D game.

"We have taken up too much of your time. Please enjoy the party now."

“enjoying.”

"Thanks!"

This is also Wu Lingxi's strategy, because she knows that the audience comes for the large number of stars and performances, so she takes the initiative, goes on stage first, and spreads all the voices.

Then, there will be a luxurious star performance.

Make sure the show is exciting and lively from beginning to end.

………………

At this time, Lian Zheng rarely found time to sit in front of the TV with his wife Shu Wan.

After watching Wu Lingxi's entire speech, he fell silent.

Shu Wan asked from the side: "Is she very powerful?"

Lian Zheng: "Very powerful, and this is an unfair duel. She has gathered a group of powerful forces to launch an all-round gang attack on the Lightning Group."

"Although Lin Xiao has also united many allies, he still needs to lead the production and investment of all products."

"But on Renren.com, Wu Lingxi used her own reputation to name many of the already very strong products to strangle Lin Xiao."

"So, it seems like Lin Xiao is fighting ten people alone."

"Many people say that this is how elite entrepreneurs do it, relying on strong personal connections and political and business influence to leverage a lot of power."

"Unlike Lin Xiao, who takes the lead and works hard to complete one work after another."

Shu Wan: "That's so unfair, can everyone see it?"

Lian Zheng: "Most people can't see it, and they don't care. Most people only look at the results."

"Everyone will instinctively regard what Wu Lingxi said just now as Wu Lingxi's work, and then make a comprehensive comparison with the work of Ergou Jiaozhu."

"Losing is losing, winning is winning."

"But Lin Xiao needs to defeat a large group of people and a large number of forces."

“So, it’s very unfair.”

"This woman Wu Lingxi is also very cunning and cruel."

……………………

In the base camp of Ergou Sect Leader, there are forums and Facebook communities.

Countless fans of Ergou have finished watching Wu Lingxi's performance, and then fell into silence.

It seemed as if everyone was stunned by Wu Lingxi's generosity.

I really didn't expect that after the super big event of CCTV Spring Festival Gala, she actually made an even bigger move in Renren Night.

It targets the leader Ergou from all aspects and Facebook from all aspects.

A blow of several times the size.

"Fuck, this woman is really strong."

"Master Ergou is not doing well, the situation is not good, Facebook is not doing well!"

Most of the posts that followed were also filled with pessimism.

Most fans have limited vision, so they were stunned by Wu Lingxi's powerful strength.

Only a few people felt something was wrong.

For example, some of the core members of Target Studios were not present at the Facebook Night but were watching TV at the company.

When they saw Wu Lingxi's other works, they had only one feeling.

Damn, so strong.

I feel that each work is overwhelming.

However, after seeing the graphics demo of "Perfect World", they only had one feeling.

Shit, this is getting into our territory.

Fortunately, I just watched the DEMO of "Zhu Xian".

The level of your "Perfect World" is indeed very high, but there is still a big gap between it and us.

We are leading in all aspects.

Why are you bragging so much? In fact, Wu Lingxi didn't think she was bragging, because the level of "Perfect World" was indeed very high. It was not only far ahead of existing works in China, but also outstanding even on a global scale.

At this time, several core members of the target studio also broke out in cold sweats.

Fortunately, His Majesty the Master has foresight.

Otherwise, based on the original level of the work, it would really lose.

The leader directly overturned the plan and started over again, and spared no expense to invite engineers and even the founder of EPIC to help.

Not long ago, they spent a lot of money to invite Ubisoft to provide assistance on shaders.

Just for the ultimate effect.

No wonder the leader said that the visual effects must be completely comparable to Blizzard Studio's "World of Warcraft", even though no one has seen what "World of Warcraft" looks like now.

But only a very few people know the inside story, and most of Ergou’s fans are still pessimistic.

"Master, Wu Lingxi has finished her performance. It was very shocking."

"It's your turn next!"

………………

At Renren Night, Wu Lingxi gave a speech first, followed by the stars’ performances.

The Facebook Night is just the opposite, the performance comes first.

A brilliant performance.

Maxim, the piano prince, performed a piano performance with superb skills.

Li Wen sang "Moonlight Lover".

Sophie Marceau sings "La Vie en Rose".

Campaign champion Monica Bellucci sang excerpts from the opera "La Traviata".

No matter from which aspect, it was a very high-end party.

For many viewers who don’t care about the battle between Facebook and Renren, or the battle between Leader Ergou and Queen Wu Lingxi, they are very satisfied.

I felt that this was an evening party of extremely high standard, even though Tom Hanks' performance was just a monologue.

But many people, especially all the fans of Ergou, only care about one thing.

The leader's counterattack! The leader's performance.

They had the TV on and were not even paying attention to the grand performances here.

Wu Lingxi's attack was too fierce, it was like an ambush and siege from all sides.

No matter how beautiful Sophie Marceau and Monica Bellucci are, we...

Well, we are still fascinated by it, because we are all LSPs, but... we really care about winning or losing.

Leader Ergou, you have to be awesome. You have to block this crazy attack.

Besides, the party is almost over, three quarters of the time has already passed.

At the last Facebook Night, almost half of the time was spent on your performance.

This is such an important battle, but you left yourself so little time? Under the watchful eyes of the crowd.

Finally, all the performances were over, and Leader Ergou also walked to the center of the stage.

Suddenly, countless fans of Master Ergou held their breath.

“In the last Facebook Night, I posted three works.”

“For this second Facebook Night, I will release four works.”

“The first work I published.”

“It should be a small technological revolution.”

Everyone was slightly shocked when they heard what Master Ergou said? Huh?!

Last year you expressed a lot of emotions and raised a lot of values.

Just now, Wu Lingxi also expressed a lot of emotions, constantly elevating her sense of mission.

You...are you so simple?

You are best at expressing emotions, you are best at writing, and you are best at public speaking.

"Lightning Technology and Macromedia Flash worked together, spent countless days and nights, invested a huge amount of money, and achieved a breakthrough in key technologies."

"On behalf of both parties, we are very proud to announce the official launch of FLASH2005 and FLASH2005 PRO."

Historically it was FLASH2004, and then it went directly to the flash8 era, there was no FLASH2005, and there were some slight changes here.

Everyone was stunned. What the hell is this thing?

Is this your counterattack?

We have no idea what this is for? Lin Xiao opened the PPT, and a brand new picture appeared on the big screen.

“It accomplishes two goals.”

"The first goal is to play the video online."

"When I was working on Itchy.com, I had a dream to play videos on the web, but the technology was far from enough, so I could only break the videos into frames and then stitch them together."

"The result is that a video of just a few seconds will take a long time to load."

"So I took the money to Macromedia Flash and sent a large number of people to tackle the new technology."

“And now, this goal has finally been achieved.”

Most of the technical work here is done by Macromedia Flash.

The Lightning Group did contribute money and effort, and the two parties did sign a strategic cooperation agreement. Even most of the application prospects were proposed by the Lightning Group.

And the vice president of Macromedia Flash was sitting right below.

A web browser opened on the big screen, a URL was entered, and an unfamiliar web player appeared.

After clicking it, it seems to be "Crazy Stone", and it is 720P high definition.

It plays in full screen, very smooth, very high definition, and the colors are very good.

However, most people still did not react.

This is indeed amazing, but so what? Is it amazing? Only a very small number of insiders looked at this scene in disbelief.

I…I…Fuck! This…this is a technological revolution.

Just now Renren boasted that it is the leader of the WEB2.0 revolution and the leader of the Internet revolution.

But web2.0 was started by Facebook.

Now, once this thing is launched, many things have been completely changed.

Previously, you could only view pictures on web pages, but now you can watch videos directly.

This... isn't this awesome enough?

It is absolutely epoch-making.

The entire industrial landscape will undergo tremendous changes.

“The second goal it can achieve is web games.”

“Maybe everyone still doesn’t have much idea.”

"The simplest and most direct description is that from now on, everyone can play Legend directly on the web without downloading the client."

The picture on the big screen changed, still showing a web browser, opening a URL.

There is a short loading period.

Then... familiar music and familiar game scenes appeared on the web page.

Many people were confused.

Fuck...it's actually a legend?

After the door opened, I registered and then entered the more familiar novice village page.

Of course, in reality this is just a demonstration clip, a small clip made with the permission of Shanda Group.

It will still take a long time to fully realize the web version of Legend.

But at this time, many people gradually began to get excited.

This... this is really awesome.

Even people who don’t understand it think it’s awesome.

But there is no doubt that this is definitely a real Internet revolution that can directly give birth to two new industries.

Those who knew the business were simply shocked.

In fact, a lot of associations have inevitably been made.

But what they don’t know is how much significance and how much offensive power this small technological revolution can bring to Facebook.

Things like Stealing Vegetables, DDTank, Fishing, and Mole Village are all social killers.

Not only that, but it can also bring social networking sites directly from the picture era to the video era.
