Guangzhou, Tencent Pictures headquarters.
Since June, the group has actually been planning the development of TikTok.
As the name suggests, it means making early arrangements on the newly established short video platform.
A few months later, the Douyin development team received a total of 500 million yuan in funding.
The team has a standard staff of 500 people and occupies five floors of office space at the Guangzhou headquarters.
Now, there is only a week left until TikTok is officially launched.
Tencent Video's advantages in the short video field are undoubtedly unique.
However, this newly established short video also needs some time to settle down.
Firstly, it will take some time for the platform to grow its user base, especially for live streaming e-commerce companies that rely on the platform for survival.
That will definitely take some time to settle.
This period of time is the stage they use to create internet celebrities.
Tencent Film is still very generous. During this development period, all contracted talents have a basic salary of 15,000.
They also provide apartment buildings and the best accommodation and food so that they can accumulate their own fans with peace of mind in the early stages.
They will only consider monetization issues after the Douyin platform becomes truly big and strong and the number of users has increased.
This period may be six months or a year, no one can say for sure.
Anyway, the big boss has already allocated 500 million yuan, so in the early stage they only need to consider how to accumulate fans.
There is no need to think about how to monetize.
The task assigned by Chen Pingsheng is also to grow together on the same platform.
…
September.
It’s not just the TikTok development team that is preparing in advance.
The same is true for Shuiyunjian, which cost more than 3 billion to purchase Shuiyunjian Magic City University.
The school officially started on September 15th.
This day is destined to become a historic day in the beauty and health industry.
It covers an area of 1,200 acres and enrolls 10,000 rural girls from all over the country.
Provide two years of professional training and pay these rural girls three thousand yuan a month.
This is definitely a historic day for the entire industry, because Shui Yunjian has truly turned his training academy into a professional technical college comparable to first-class universities.
Even the students who graduate from here will have far higher employment and income than those from ordinary 985 universities in the future.
This is the real reason why the number of registrations exceeded 100,000 in a short period of time after the registration indicators were released.
Countless employees who graduated from Shuiyunjian have spread the word.
One person tells ten people, ten people tell a hundred people.
It was from this day that Shuiyunjian began to truly influence the entire industry.
Not only Shuiyunjian University has opened.
On September 18th, Huadu spent 3.2 billion to purchase and redesign and restore the Tengying Entertainment High School of Arts.
School officially started on this day.
The first batch of recruits consisted of 5,000 students, all of whom were from rural areas.
The youngest is only sixteen and the oldest is only eighteen.
The school implements a very strict elimination system, regularly recruiting new students and eliminating a group of people who just want to get by.
In addition, dating is strictly prohibited.
Whoever talks will leave.
I don’t know what the situation is, but as long as it is a university founded by Chen Pingsheng.
If a girl falls in love under the age of 18, get out immediately.
Just like in Shuiyunjian, you can earn a salary of 3,000 yuan while learning the skills.
As for the teachers who taught them acting, they were all from Hong Kong.
A professional teacher who has been in charge of TVB's top artist training classes.
He values acting more than anyone else, and anyone who fails in this area will be punished.
It is impossible to obtain Tencent Film's next performing arts resources.
It's impossible to grow up like Liu Yifei.
Rural girls are already at a disadvantage in the entertainment industry, and it would be a shame if they can't even put up good acting skills.
Go back to where you came from as soon as possible.
There is no need to be polite about this. He spent so much money to open the door to the entertainment industry for rural students.
They are not allowed to come here to kill time, and it is not possible for them to retain students with good or poor grades like in ordinary schools.
There is a baseline test every month, and those who fail will be fired.
This is the rule of Tengying Art School, it is very cruel.
The entertainment industry doesn’t need so many expressionless people with no acting skills.
There is even less need for Tencent Film Entertainment. They already have a lot of big-name stars. Am I going to keep you here for free?
All I can say is that the entertainment industry is cruel, and the rule of survival of the fittest is very clear.
Of course, this also includes family background and so on.
But for these 5,000 rural students, they have only one way.
That is to learn from Zhao Liying, the real senior sister of Tencent Entertainment.
If you come from the countryside and can't endure hardships better than the second generation, you'd better find a job in a factory making screws as soon as possible.
In his opening speech, Chen Pingsheng made it very clear.
Of 5,000 people, one third will be eliminated in the first month, and another one third will be eliminated in the next three months.
Thereafter, regular elimination tournaments will be held every month.
Those who are willing to endure hardships and work hard will stay, while those who just want to get by will have to leave.
No one expected that the rules of Tengying Art School would be so strict.
It has even reached a perverted level.
This is nothing like a university, but more like a company's three-year employee selection and elimination process.
There is no way.
The reason why Chen Pingsheng set such a rule is because the art school is different from Shuiyunjian.
There, as long as you study hard for two years, you will be able to become an excellent employee of Shuiyunjian in the future.
Art schools are different. It is true that Tencent Film Entertainment is already among the top three in the industry, but it does not have enough resources to reach 5,000 people.
We can only provide a few, or even dozens of opportunities to become big stars.
When Tencent's resources cannot be distributed to everyone, they need to fight for resources outside.
First, no background, and second, no family conditions.
In this case, if even your basic acting skills are the same as those expressionless faces.
So, where will your future be?
He even said it more bluntly, some girls might think, I am beautiful, I am open-minded, and I get resources by sleeping with directors and investors.
Chen Pingsheng directly answered their question. Before you become famous, if you want to get industry resources by this method, you are not even as good as a chicken.
The chicken was slept with, but there were still a few hundred dollars left.
And if you are slept with by someone, people will only laugh at you and think you are having a wild dream.
This is the reality. If you don’t have a top-notch background, you will have to endure hardships that no one else can endure.
If you can't even do this, leave as soon as possible.
The example of Zhao Liying is right there. She has been a supporting actress for five years and has never stopped improving herself.
When the opportunity comes, grab it immediately.
This is the special existence that makes her the queen of the drama circle.
All I can say is that reality is cruel, and Tengying Art School is not their refuge.
It is a high-level art school full of modern rules.
Its elimination is calculated on a monthly basis.
If you want to spend your time on love, go out with a bucket and talk.
No one knows who can make it all the way through this.
But what is certain is that those who can survive to the end will definitely transform from ugly ducklings into white swans in the future.
Tengying Entertainment has the ability to do so.
You also have the confidence. All it requires is that you can stand out from thousands of ugly ducklings.
If you can't even do this, then don't expect it to have any resources falling on your head.
I wouldn't even dream of doing this.
All teachers, including professors, have top-tier salaries. They don't have any resources, and there's no need to expect them to get in through the back door.
Therefore, only ability can help you live up to your youth.
Compared with Shui Yunjian and Fei Yangyang’s training academies.
Tengying Entertainment's art school is absolutely a devilish system.
We recruit one thousand new people every month and eliminate one thousand people every month.
It's just so perverted.
If you don't whip them hard and chase them, they will really think that they can enter the entertainment industry at will.
You can even become a big star without relying on acting skills, just relying on resources.
To be frank, at least 90% of the celebrities in the circle think this way.
This has led to countless actors who have the potential to be the protagonists simply having to act out the entire show with a paralyzed face.
Even if the audience wanted to curse, they didn't know who to curse.
The opening of Shuiyunjian University has received rave reviews from the society.
After all, it truly provides a platform for learning and provides tens of thousands of rural girls with a clear path to big cities.
But the opening of Tengying Entertainment's Huadu University was met with a barrage of criticism.
There is no university in China that eliminates students in this way.
It can be said that as long as students do not make serious mistakes, they will be able to complete those three years as scheduled no matter what.
It’s different at Tengying Entertainment. They don’t care whether you make mistakes or not. As long as you don’t perform well in the performance competition at the end of the month, you will be eliminated.
The naked capitalist law will stab you in the face with blood.
As soon as the news came out, most of the people who had originally thought about enrolling in Tengying Art School simply disappeared.
There are also countless keyboard warriors who keep abusing people online.
The gist of it is unscrupulous capitalists.
A university has set up such a cruel elimination system. Do they really want people to study there?
Regardless of the online controversy, Chen Pingsheng will not change his decision.
His influence is now growing, and countless bigwigs want to see him every day.
He still took seven days to stay at Tengying Art School, which had not yet opened.
The purpose, of course, is to establish learning rules.
He can open the door to the entertainment industry for rural students, but they also need to fight their way out of the crowd.
Until you become the most dazzling star.
The road to the entertainment industry has never been easy.
It has been said since ancient times that kindness cannot command the army and righteousness cannot command wealth.
With the opening of Tengying Art School, Tengying short dramas also officially started to be launched online.
This means that in addition to the two major industries of movies and TV series, Tencent Entertainment has developed a short drama video.
No one knows what the future holds.
At least now, it has quietly gone online relying on these 5,000 students.
I don’t know when it started, but Tencent Entertainment’s tentacles have penetrated into all walks of life.
It all feels like an all-out attack.
But now, there are two universities in a thousand acres of land.
This influence is unparalleled.
It was already September 20th when I returned to the Magic City.
Tik Tok short video was quietly launched online, and no one realized that this was a groundbreaking Internet product.
Even Chen Pingsheng himself didn't realize it. He just thought that Xinteng Live Broadcast was too profitable, so after Douyin went online, he wanted to copy Xinteng Live Broadcast.
…
When she got home, Song Yanxi felt that the atmosphere was not right.
One adult and two children are shaking their butts together here. Her husband, what's going on?
"Twist and turn, we are all a happy family."
After Chen Anan learned that Lao Douhua had invested heavily in building a team for another short video platform, she simply registered on Douyin.
I finally persuaded her dad to shoot a family dance video with her, so I have to make sure it’s a good one.
"Husband, why are you becoming so frivolous too?"
"well enough."
Chen Pingsheng said happily, "An An wants to take a family photo shoot, so why don't I join her?"
"Just forget it, don't you know how many people want to see you?"
Song Yanxi turned off her daughter's phone. It was okay for the little brat to act foolishly, but her husband definitely couldn't appear in public like this.
Chen Pingsheng wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "It's not so bad actually. Douyin has just been launched and the number of users is very small. It's still unknown whether it can succeed."
"You just invested 500 million yuan in it, why are you still saying such things?"
Song Yanxi looked at him suspiciously, as if he didn't have much confidence in this newly launched short video.
"It's only five hundred million, and you still want me to talk about it every day?"
Chen Pingsheng said: "You too, if your daughter likes to play, just play with her, why bother to stop her, look how happy they are."
Chen Pingsheng went to the study with her. The study faced a big tree in the yard and had a beautiful view.
It is a good and elegant room for self-cultivation.
"I'm just worried that you'll cause controversy if you show up like this. Don't you see how many employees our group has? It's almost a million."
"There's no need to think too much. We don't make money to live for others."
Chen Pingsheng said, "I'm feeling more and more casual. It's quite interesting to grow up with my daughter. Let me tell you a little secret. The little brat is very smart. I taught her 1+1 today and she remembered it immediately."
"I'm really impressed by you."
Song Yanxi rolled her eyes at him. "You only realized it today. This little one seems like a child prodigy. No matter what you teach her, she remembers it immediately, and then thinks it's normal. She has no idea how smart she is."
"Haha, if it weren't for her sister for comparison, I would have really thought there was something wrong with my genes."
Not only did Chen Pingsheng discover it, but even Chen Anan, who had been bullying the little brat, discovered it.
A two-and-a-half-year-old kid, it’s already amazing that she knows 1 plus 1, okay?
How can you still recite ancient poems?
After all, Chen Anan is a fourth-grade student, no matter how bad her grades are.
I must know the characters.
I can definitely recite two poems: The moon shines brightly before my bed, I wonder if it is frost on the ground.
But she is already nine years old, why does her two-and-a-half-year-old sister seem to be able to do these things too?
Aren't dad's genes supposed to be useless from the beginning?
How could an accident happen to her sister?
Chen Anan looked her abnormal little sister up and down. Chen Xinyi was confused by her look and followed her footsteps, looking left and right.
Then he asked in a baby voice, "Sister, why do you keep walking back and forth?"
"Chen Xinyi, you don't look like my biological sister. How about we do a sisterhood test tomorrow?"
Chen Anan said seriously, it doesn't make sense at all.
I'm so useless, how can you be so smart?
Everyone should be the same.
