Actor: My Entertainment Era

Chapter 193 The whole country can fly
For the time being, Big Brother’s Twitter business does not see a clearer profit prospect. Most of his Twitter money now comes from Facebook’s cash out funds, and the rest comes from small sums of financing from various parties.

Zuckerberg took a shot at him last year.

He does not allow Zhang Leping to hold more than 20% of Facebook shares, but his attitude towards Zhang Leping is not as bad as that of Saverin.

Zhang Leping was given a decent way to exit the company—in the form of installment payments, repurchasing 1.05% of Zhang Leping’s Facebook shares with US$99 million in cash with principal and interest. Zhang Leping retained a seat on the Facebook board of directors, but had no voting rights.

After the transaction was completed, Zhang Leping's Facebook stock holdings were only a pitiful 0.71%, completely losing his foothold in the company.

Zuckerberg doesn’t like Twitter at this stage, and thinks that China’s Zhang is bound to fail, so when Zhang Leping asked him to sign a business prohibition agreement, Zuckerberg signed it readily, promising that Facebook would not do microblogging business.

Zhang Leping told his younger brother about it, and Zhang Yuanjun joked, "More than 1 million US dollars is still in cash. What are you not satisfied with? You are richer than our father."

Although the catering business has sufficient cash flow, it really can't come up with more than 1 million US dollars in cash.Not to mention the Zhang family, there are not many rich people in the country who can afford so much cash at this stage.

"You're still laughing!" Zhang Leping smoked depressedly, "Facebook was finally built, and it just disappeared. It's a pity."

"That can't be helped. The idea of ​​who is called Facebook is someone else's idea, and the company has always been dominated by him. If it were me, I would also kick out the partner. Such a good company has so much money, how good it is to make money."

That's what I said, but after all, Zhang Leping typed out a lot of Facebook's code, and I still don't want to part with it.

Therefore, in his new Twitter business, he showed that entrepreneurs have a very strong desire to control the company.

Based on the comprehensive discussion, he didn't allow anyone in the company to oppose his decision, so he could listen to Li Ying's words.

Zhang Yuanjun didn't know if it was good or bad, but it was probably good.

A start-up company needs a captain to make key decisions. If even the founder hesitates, the company will not last long.

This is probably a common problem for entrepreneurs, because my parents are also like this. They can split the shares, but they must ensure the absolute control of the Zhang family in Guodao Catering. When they decided to open a super flagship store in Beijing in 05, many shareholders opposed it. Zhang's father still made a firm decision to invest more than 5 million yuan to start construction in the capital.

"Let's take one step at a time." It was really difficult in the early stage of starting a business. "How is it in Beijing?"

"It's okay. I made a few movies. I didn't invest much but I made a lot of money. I also made some money after I released an album. It's not a problem to support my employees." Don't follow the hard money you earn from filming. Compared with the Internet.

"Aren't you making a lot of money making movies? I'll also participate in good projects." With so much cash in hand, Zhang Leping definitely wanted to invest in it.

"I advise you not to invest. Movies are extremely risky and have a long billing period. You are abroad, and you can't supervise the situation in China. A little trick can kill you. If you want to invest in China, It’s really better to buy a house, buy a dozen or twenty sets in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen, and make money lying down.”

But those who do Internet seem to look down on such a simple and crude industry as real estate: "Why do I want so many houses? If you ask you, you don't understand. I'd better buy Apple stock."

Apple released the first-generation iPhone in January this year, stunning the world!
Market capitalization soared.

But now more than a month has passed, and Joe’s gang leader still can’t sell the goods, which makes the outside world wonder whether the iPhone can be mass-produced.

Was the product released last month made to fool the market and stockholders?

But Internet upstarts are extremely optimistic about Apple, believing that the iPhone will be an epoch-making product, and Zhang Leping is also optimistic about this company.

Zhang Yuanjun smiled and said nothing, he was also waiting for a good time to invest in US stocks.

"You smoke less." Seeing that the elder brother lit another cigarette, Zhang Yuanjun persuaded, "You smoke more fiercely than Dad."

"If you smoke two during Chinese New Year, you will still tell me."

On the fifth day of the lunar new year, Zhang Yuanjun left home and returned to Beijing. At night, he arrived at his Dongshan villa, cleaned up a little, and went to work in his study.

The studio went to work on the seventh day of the seventh day, and the assistant Xiao Zhao arrived in Beijing one day earlier.

On the seventh day of the seventh lunar month, Zhang Yuanjun was just a tool for handing out red envelopes for the start of work.

Zhang Yuanjun is going to fly to Yunnan Province with Mr. Yu on the ninth day of junior high school. In two days, he has an advertisement, two interviews and three covers to shoot.

"When did you put so much work on?" Zhang Yuanjun felt strange when he saw his two-day notice.

"Whoever told you to go home at 29, this ad and the two covers were supposed to be filmed years ago."

"Okay, blame me."

Zhang Yuanjun's first job in the new year was a shampoo advertisement called O'Sally.

Shot in a green screen studio in Beijing.

Zhang Yuanjun did not sign a long-term contract with the O'Sally brand, and the time limit for this advertisement is only one year.

The advertising fee was as high as 72 yuan. The brand said that if Zhang Yuanjun was willing to sign a long-term contract, he could offer an endorsement fee of 2 million yuan for 340 years, but he was rejected.

Zhang Yuanjun came to the studio to discuss the script with the director of the commercial. The commercial took the form of a short story: the heroine was chased by a pterosaur and rescued by the hero, and the two escaped together. Stuck, the hero took out the shampoo to make the heroine's hair smooth again, and the two escaped.

This script highlights an embarrassment, but this is the case with advertisements these years. The brand side even used snacks, spent money to write such a segment, and set up the scenery in the studio.

It would have been nice not to let Zhang Yuanjun read the words directly to the camera while holding the product.

Embarrassment is embarrassment, but Zhang Yuanjun gave full play to the ethics of a professional actor, taking money to work without complaining.

"Mr. Zhang, my name is Xiaowen. I'm very glad to work with you." The girl in front of me is the heroine of the commercial.

Zhang Yuanjun was putting on makeup and greeted the heroine.

"Mr. Zhang, should you use your own hairstyle or ours?"

"How are you guys?" Assistant Xiao Zhao asked from the side.

The make-up artist showed her the model picture, which is the most popular long hair bangs nowadays, but Xiao Zhao refused: "Don't use this, our own hairstyle is very good-looking."

Zhang Yuanjun really doesn't like the current hairstyles. He has always had short hair, and when he participates in activities, he always shows the back of his forehead, which makes him look capable.

"Okay, then do as you want." The makeup artist also saved a hair procedure.

"Sister Zhao," the agent of the heroine Xiaowen stepped up to chat during the filming break, "This is my contact information. We all like Teacher Zhang very much. If you need anything in the future, please feel free to contact me." How can Xiao Zhao not understand the meaning of the deep expression.

Many modeling agencies will have this kind of peripheral business. Xiao Zhao took the other party's business card with a clear expression: "We fly all over the country all year round, and I'm afraid there are not many opportunities to meet each other."

"It's okay, we can fly all over the country. You can give me more advice after that."

"Don't dare to be a teacher, each takes what he needs, and cooperates with each other."

"You're right, let's cooperate more in the future." The manager of the other party smiled brightly.

The shooting on set went smoothly. Xiao Zhao went to the bathroom and threw away his business card.

It took half a day to shoot the commercial. Zhang Yuanjun took off his make-up and changed his clothes, and left with his assistant Xiao Zhao.
