Return to 2002: Freestyle Superstar

Chapter 538: Talk about Cao Cao, Cao Cao is here
Chen Ran acted differently again.

In fact, among these athletes, most chose business administration, and a few chose civil engineering.

After all, the real estate industry is booming nowadays.

As for housing prices in major cities, they are rising every year.

Therefore, civil engineering is also a popular major, and some athletes also hope to make money by speculating in real estate.

Chen Ran was the only one who chose journalism, which made him stand out in this list.

Under the puzzled and surprised gazes of his teammates across projects, Chen Ran said goodbye to everyone, left Zhejiang University, and also left Hangzhou and returned to the Magic City.

Journalism is good!
The so-called position of public opinion, if you don’t occupy it, it will be occupied by others.

In case some gossip or scandal happens to you, you can minimize the negative impact as soon as possible.

Chen Ran even thought about it. Before Weibo was launched in the future, he would invest in it and become a shareholder with considerable say, and preferably also get a position of real power.

At that time, whoever starts fighting will be banned, especially those with overseas IP addresses, whose accounts will be permanently blocked.

Especially those boxers, they would kill anyone they saw, and would nip it in the bud as soon as they saw any signs of an enemy.

Not convinced? If you're not convinced, just hold it in!

If you have the ability, go to the Internet, you can go to Twitter or INS to practice boxing and see if anyone out there pays attention to you.

As for the quarrels and insults between fans of celebrities in the entertainment or sports circles, there is no need to cut them off. The more quarrels there are, the more lively they become.

Without quarreling, where would the traffic come from? This is harmless.

More than ten years later, the level of craziness in the table tennis fan circle was deliberately directed by Liu himself.

If we don’t do this, we won’t be able to sell any table tennis tickets.

Finally, the table tennis match was similar to the young idol’s concert, with female audiences accounting for more than 90%.

So this fan circle culture is a trend, and social software also needs this popularity.

……

Maybe there is God's will in the dark.

On this day, he trained normally as usual, and the training ground was surrounded by fans.

With the Paris Masters coming to an end, the last big event of the 2005 season, the ATP year-end finals, has entered the countdown.

Facts have proved that when there is a clear gap in strength, relying solely on bonuses to boost morale is useless.

Federer is worthy of being the second best in tennis.

Along the way to the Paris Masters, he did meet Wawrinka and Roddick.

Although Federer himself did not know about the $50 bonus plan, he still defeated the two aggressive guys with his outstanding performance and once again won the Paris Masters championship.

He has secured the second place in the century.

But the points gap between Federer and Chen Ran has not narrowed much.

Whether the "Chen Fei showdown" will be staged again in Shanghai is the biggest selling point of the ATP year-end finals.

Of course, because of Chen Ran, Shanghai finally enjoyed very good box office dividends like Yanjing and Shenzhen.

The eight best players in the world gathered in Shanghai to compete in the Huashan Contest.

In addition, as the Yanjing Olympics draws closer, the sports atmosphere in China becomes increasingly strong.

So even without Chen Ran's match, 80% of the group stage tickets have been sold. By the time the semi-finals and finals come around, ticket sales will only be better.

Not long after Chen Ran finished training and returned to his company, his agent found him and talked about two things.

First thing, about the tennis movie.

Since Chen Ran was very dissatisfied with the previous script, they have replaced the screenwriter.

There is not just one screenwriter, but several, and they will come together to create an innovative tennis movie.

The second thing was that Sina Corporation found Chen Ran's agency. In 2005, Sina Corporation had just launched Sina Blog and invited many celebrities to join.

It can be predicted that major portals will launch their own blogs in the future.

Sina Corporation was ready to strike first, especially since they were very rich, and decided to pay celebrities an invitation fee as long as they registered a blog and verified it.

In the future, celebrities will be able to post their mood diaries on their own personally certified blogs and allow their fans to comment on them.

Sina will also pay royalties for these diaries.

In the early stages, they needed these public figures to boost popularity, so they had to do this.

And some lucky fans may even get the chance to interact with the stars.

As China's top star, the top sports star, and a world-class tennis king, Chen Ran is also the one that Sina Corporation has invited.

They hope that Chen Ran can open a blog and bring considerable traffic to the website.

The invitation fee Sina gave to Chen Ran was definitely top-tier.

Higher than those national superstars.

Chen Ran knew that the emergence of blogs was of epoch-making significance for Internet social software.

It was also from this time that public figures began to present their private side to the outside world, instead of through television media and so on.

In addition, it was also from blogs that interactions between public figures and their fans began.

In fact, it was the same in the early days of Weibo, where celebrities would always post various updates.

But later on, the Internet environment became more and more harsh, and everyone became more careful with their words, and in the end, all they talked about on Weibo was work.

"Liu Xiang, Yao Ming, and Zheng Jie, have they invited me?"

After Chen Ran thought about it, he asked.

"They have invited them all, including the top stars in the entertainment industry and even..." The agent paused.

"Even what?"

"Sina has also invited popular foreign athletes such as Maria Sharapova and Ana Ivanovich to open blogs," the agent explained. "They are responsible for writing diaries in their native language or English, and Sina will arrange staff to translate them."

Damn it, it must be because of me.

Chen Ran cursed inwardly.

In fact, Yao Ming and Liu Xiang probably won’t open a blog.

For the former, his management team does not have this vision, so they often let him go.

In fact, during the peak period of Yao Ming’s fame, Sina had the most Yao haters in the entire Internet. They were stirring up trouble every day, and it was very lively.

As for Liu Xiang, he is under the management of the Track and Field Association after all.

Those of the older generation view the Internet as a scourge and would probably not agree to starting a blog.

As for Zheng Jie.

Uh... Chen Ran couldn’t guess what the girl was thinking, and he was too lazy to care.

As for himself, is he going to start a blog?

Or if I agree, how much authority will Sina give me.

Chen Ran glanced at the drawer casually.

There was the letter of admission to Zhejiang University's journalism program.

I was just thinking about how to control news and public opinion when Sina Corporation came knocking.

It’s true that when you mention Cao Cao, he will appear.
