China Entertainment 1997

As time goes by, the domestic situation gradually improves, and some urban areas begin to resume work on a small scale. However, overseas, it is still a mess.

Boss Cao has lost most of his work. In addition, it is not safe outside, so he can only stay at home.

Nowadays, he is the only one who has the most leisure time in the whole family. Although Hu Jing does not go to work, she still controls some company meetings and work remotely from home. Teacher Zeng and her two children also have to take online classes, but one is teaching and the other is attending class.

Even Sun Lan and Cao Shuangguo, one of them has square dancing video lessons and training, or plays chess and chats with old buddies online.

Only Boss Cao has nothing serious to do. He is tired of chatting with friends, tired of watching film and television works and novels, and even the five major football leagues have announced suspensions one after another. He is bored and crazy at home every day.

So much so that Boss Cao just watched his son and daughter taking online classes and tutored his son with homework part-time.

My daughter has good grades and has started to study some junior high school courses, as well as advanced homework such as Mathematical Olympiad. Cao Xuan does not have the tutoring ability.

My son Cao Yang has no problem. Mathematics is a bit difficult, but at least he has no problem with English and liberal arts.

However, after half a day, he would rather spend the day in the gym than help with homework. He was afraid that he would not be able to bear it and break the precept of spanking his children.

"You just have too much free time at home. Find something to do to distract your attention."

The Empress of the West Palace saw the key to Cao Xuan's impatience. Although he had rested for a long time before, he could go out and live a colorful life.

Now that I stay at home every day, my mood is inevitably depressed. When the basic entertainment is no longer satisfied, I need to do something else. No matter what it is, it is better than being idle and bored.

Boss Cao couldn't do much if he didn't want to find work for himself.

His level is too high, and the decentralization of power is too neat. For many tasks, Cao Xuan only needs the final signature for verification, and the formulation and specific work are done by the people below.

In addition, due to the advance preparation, many things have been arranged, and after staying at home for such a long time, the remaining workload has been cleaned up.

Of course, if Cao Xuan really wanted to find a job, he could get him any job.

But Cao Xuan was bored, but he didn't want to find fault for himself, so he went to Weibo for help and asked netizens if they had any good ways to kill time and learn from it.

[I received a lot of online course orders, 50 per person, can I give you a 45 package? 】

Cao Xuan: "Do you have any orders from the Beijing area? I'll go back and check the children's homework."

[You can receive a global live camera and watch global scenery from the video, including beaches, volcanoes, lakes, and animals]

Cao Xuan: "I'll try."

[Fitness bar, you can not only relieve boredom, but also exercise]

Cao Xuan: "I'm tired of spending at least a few hours in the gym a day."

[Practice calligraphy or painting to cultivate your body and mind]

Cao Xuan: "A few large-character articles a day will make you tired if you write too much."

[Watching TV series, "Celebrating More Than Years" is super good. After watching it, help us rush for the second season]

Cao Xuan: "I've finished reading it. I've urged it. I'm currently sorting out the script."

["The Twelve Hours of Chang'an" is also good to watch, you can give it a try]

Cao Xuan: "I've finished watching it too. I've finished catching up on the hit dramas from last year and the year before. I'm currently catching up on "The First Half of My Life" from the year before last. I'm a bit tired of watching it."

[If you can’t do it, beat the child]

Cao Xuan: "It is not recommended to do this. It is harmful to the physical and mental health of the child. The key is that the mother will not let it."

[Live broadcast, let’s chat and talk together]

Cao Xuan: "...It's an idea, but I'm not very good at it. I'll do some research."

After interacting with netizens for a while, Cao Xuan was in a good mood. He also thought it was good to chat like this, so he went to tinker with the live broadcast. If the effect was good, he would play with it. If the effect was not good, he would think of other methods.

Cao Xuan doesn’t know how to live broadcast and doesn’t know how to do it.

First I started a live broadcast on Weibo, and a lot of people came, but the screen was stuck, I couldn’t hear the words clearly, and the various operations were a bit complicated, so I simply turned off the live broadcast and went to Douyin again.

Since live broadcasting is one of Douyin's main businesses, it also encourages everyone to live broadcast, and has made great efforts in this regard.

The operation is simple and easy to use, and the picture quality and network fluency are better than those on Weibo. Cao Xuan successfully started the live broadcast.

Cao Xuan has not been a member of Douyin for a long time, about half a year. He rarely shows up and does not promote or hold official events. Therefore, the number of fans is not particularly large, just over 50 million.

Of course, only Cao Xuan can say this. Compared with his nearly 100 million fans on Weibo, Douyin’s fans are indeed not that many.

But aside from some of the top platforms and popular artists who have settled earlier, Cao Xuan’s number of fans on Douyin is definitely in the first echelon.

The number of fans is just a virtual term.

The star with the highest number of fans on Douyin is Dili Rouba. She joined early and is relatively active, with more than 70 million fans, but no one would think that she is more popular and has more fans than Cao Xuan.

The official Douyin response is much faster than that of Weibo. It is probably focused on it. As soon as Cao Xuan started the live broadcast, he immediately started giving recommendations.

While Cao Xuan was still studying the operation of the live broadcast room, people began to enter the live broadcast room crazily.

By the time Cao Xuan stabilized his phone, the number of people in the live broadcast room had exceeded 150,000, and he quickly reached the top of the live broadcast real-time list.

Moreover, Douyin also placed Cao Xuan’s live broadcast at the top of the hot list, and then placed open-screen advertisements. Many people began to copy it in the major comment areas, and a large number of Douyin users poured in from various entrances.

Even in addition to Douyin, Cao Xuankai's live broadcast has also been trending on Weibo, Bilibili, Zhihu and other platforms.

Many Weibo users even made fun of the lag in Weibo's live broadcast function, causing Cao Xuan to abandon it and go to Douyin. However, this topic did not appear in Weibo's hot searches, and it was suspected that it was suppressed.

Cao Xuan had no idea what was going on outside. He was fixing his cell phone in his study while explaining to the audience in the live broadcast room.

"I'm sorry, I don't have the equipment to fix the phone at the moment. The camera may not be stable. Please forgive me..."

Before he finished speaking, the live broadcast room was full of special effects for gifts soaring into the sky. Cao Xuan didn't watch the live broadcast, so he didn't know how much they were worth.

But starting from the first gift special effect, this thing has never stopped, and there are endless carnivals, horse-drawn carriages, Porsches and so on.

"Don't give me gifts."

Cao Xuan quickly stopped: "Let's just chat and don't need to pay for gifts. It's not easy to make money."

He stopped a few words, but it was of little use. Some people were pure fans who were excited to see their idols, some wanted to show off in front of Cao Xuan, a rich man, some wanted to increase their presence, and some just Drainage and exposure purposes.

In short, Cao Xuan persuaded them to come back, and they accepted the gifts, but Cao Xuan simply stopped trying.

"Everyone, wait a moment. I'll turn off the function of buying gifts first."

However, Boss Cao obviously overestimated his operational level. He couldn't finish it in two minutes, and a group of people were still frantically shopping for gifts. Boss Cao got annoyed, frowned, took his cell phone, and said to the camera.

"I'm not very good at it. Please contact Douyin staff."

Then he dialed the number of the person in charge of Douyin, stood up and walked to the corner. In the live broadcast room, he vaguely heard a final sound: "Hey, Zhang'er..."

About a minute later, Cao Xuan’s live broadcast room was officially canceled the option to buy gifts. About five minutes later, all the gifts that had been bought before were returned in full. Douyin officials personally sent people to the live broadcast room to monitor and prevent anyone from doing anything. Routine and so on.

The world is finally peaceful!

Cao Xuan also sat in front of the camera again and happily greeted the audience in the live broadcast room.

"I start live broadcasts just to chat with everyone. If we are bored at home, let's talk together. I also call on viewers who are still in special periods to stay at home as much as possible to protect themselves and others.

I'm very grateful for the gifts my friends just bought, but I don't lack them, so you don't have to waste money. I will return all the gifts you bought. "

Cao Xuan has settled the matter of gifts.

He is not short of money, but he will not criticize such rules, and even advises everyone not to give people gifts, which is ruining their jobs.

Not to mention full-time anchors, during special times, many celebrities are also focusing on live broadcasts. It is currently inconvenient to bring goods, and a large part of their income comes from live broadcast rewards.

Even among star artists, there are several who appear in the live broadcast field. They are not doing it for money, but because they are bored + to maintain exposure and interact with fans.

Boss Cao's family has a big business and doesn't care about these three melons and two dates, nor does it matter if they are popular artists, but it is a good income for many young actors and ordinary artists.

Cao Xuan doesn't have to make this money, but he can't make any high-profile remarks and mess up other people's business.

In his opinion, after all, live broadcast rewards are voluntary, and chatting in the live broadcast room with the anchor is also a kind of labor.

Just like a crosstalk actor performing or a singer singing, the essence is to entertain the public, give people a pleasant mental relaxation, the audience will be satisfied and rewarded, it is not an excessive thing.

What we should really resist are the anchors who trick people into giving rewards and those messy anchors that attract people’s attention. Don’t wear colored glasses towards normal anchors, and don’t stop eating because of choking.

Of course, the low threshold and high income of anchors can indeed easily cause mental imbalances in other industries, and also have some negative impacts on society, which will inevitably make this industry controversial.

Cao Xuan didn't want to discuss the rights and wrongs of the live broadcast industry. He just came to relieve his boredom and chat. He didn't make any money, but he also wanted to save trouble.

The reward for one night's live broadcast is tens of millions, which is just a drop in the bucket for Cao Xuan. He would rather save his words of thanks and chat with everyone.

………

Cao Xuan had never done a private live broadcast before, but at this time he was self-taught.

He chatted about daily life, interacted with the barrage questions, and sometimes babbled a few words himself. Across the screen, everyone was texting, which made him less nervous and not boring. Cao Xuan found it quite fun.

"I am now at my home in Beijing, and have been here for almost two or three months. I haven't been out since the Spring Festival, except for testing."

"I can't say where my home is. It's in the capital anyway."

"As for children taking online classes, I keep it hidden because I don't want them to receive too much attention from the outside world, which is detrimental to their growth."

"Being on "Where Are We Going, Dad?" The program team doesn't want her when her child is older."

"Don't call me father-in-law. If you call me again, the administrator will kick you. You can call me father-in-law and in-laws. My son is very handsome. He also likes to play football and is in great shape."

"I like Ximen Qing that I played very much. It looks like the real thing... Okay, I think you are complimenting me, thank you."

"I'm in the study."

Cao Xuan saw a barrage urging him to visit his study, so he picked up his cell phone and took pictures of the room to introduce it.

"This is a bookshelf. Some are often read, and some are just for show. This table is basically used for working, or sometimes reading scripts and books. The table on the other side of the screen is for practicing calligraphy and painting. The words on the wall are Most of them were written by me, which is embarrassing..."

Cao Xuan's study is not very big, just over 80 square meters in total. Strictly speaking, his study has two rooms and a slightly smaller tea room/lounge.

Moreover, this study room is mainly used for office work and calligraphy practice. Their family also has a private library with a collection of tens of thousands of books, including some ancient books and unique books.

But there is no need to introduce the rest of them one by one. Cao Xuan just took a picture of the study room where he was.

I didn't even take much photos of the facilities in the study, I just glanced at them, mainly to show off my handwriting.

Many people who like to practice calligraphy still like to post some of their works. At least Cao Xuan has not practiced calligraphy to the point where he cannot be indifferent to honor and disgrace.

I didn’t show off in the early years because I wasn’t very good at it. Later on when I became a bit more accomplished, I had to show off from time to time. Now that I’ve caught such a good opportunity, I have to satisfy my vanity.

Cao Xuan is good at regular script and running script, and it is a calligraphy style that ordinary people can intuitively appreciate the beauty of calligraphy, so the feedback from the audience is also good.

If Cao Xuan posted some wild cursive script or seal script, you would need some threshold to appreciate it.

However, compared to Cao Xuan's own calligraphy, the outside world is more curious about whether there are any antique calligraphy and paintings in Cao Xuan's study, and what kind of wood Cao Xuan's study furniture is made of.

Cao Xuan did not hide the latter, or there was no need to hide it. There was no shortage of knowledgeable people in the live broadcast room, and he frankly admitted that the tables, chairs, bookshelves, screens and other furniture in the study were all Hainan Huanghuali.

At present, the price of dried huanghuali wood is about 4,000 to 5,000 per kilogram. Cao Xuan's furniture is large and heavy, and the estimated price is over ten million at least.

But the real highlight is Cao Xuan’s calligraphy and painting.

Different from the frankness of furniture, Cao Xuan only took a picture of antique calligraphy and painting. It was placed in a glass cabinet. The paper was yellow and mottled, and even the handwriting was a bit blurry.

The copybook was very simple, with only a few dozen words, and the calligraphy skills of ordinary people could not be discerned. Cao Xuan did not point to anyone to praise it, but only stayed for a few seconds longer on the inscription and multiple seals.

Many people can't understand the seal, but many people still recognize the inscription and postscript in running script.

On July 4th, Su Shi of Meizhou wrote a book!

"Fuck!!!"

The live broadcast room is about to explode. Anyone who has gone to school knows the value of this calligraphy post by Su Dongpo, the poet saint.

Anyone who doesn’t understand quickly asks how much it’s worth. Well, those who know the answer will basically reply in four words – priceless treasure.

Su Dongpo's calligraphy and paintings are precious and rare. They are basically stored in major museums. There are very few stocks in the hands of private collectors. Every time one of them comes out, it is a big sensation in the collecting world.

Of course Cao Xuan knew the value of this painting, it was one of his proudest collections, but he also said.

He bought this painting from a Japanese collector. The authenticity has not been officially verified, and there is little information from the outside world. It is mainly a personal favorite, so he collected it.

That’s what I say, but everyone knows that with Boss Cao’s wealth and status, it’s impossible to buy a painting without asking someone to inspect it. Nine times out of ten, it’s genuine. If Boss Cao hadn’t lost his temper today, I’m afraid The outside world doesn't know that Su Dongpo has such a calligraphy post.

Someone asked how much this painting was worth, but Cao Xuan smiled and said nothing.

No matter how much it's worth, he won't sell it anyway...
