Top of the big era

I hadn't noticed it just now, but Zhou Buqi realized after getting in the car that Jiang Shuying wasn't wearing a bra. This is very common in the UK. Many girls like this unrestrained feeling in summer. It is not so popular in Asia.

However, Zhou Buqi didn't pay too much attention and said calmly, "I heard from Xu Baihui that you have an emotional problem?"

Jiang Shuying's expression was awkward, "Mr. Zhou, I'm sorry."

Zhou Buqi said: "No need to be sorry, you didn't offend anyone."

"Mr. Zhou..."

Jiang Shuying was frightened. She felt that Mr. Zhou was so serious and almost burst into tears.

Zhou Buqi was helpless and determined to avoid provoking female celebrities as much as possible in the future. None of them were fuel-efficient, and he didn't know whether they were real or fake.

Maybe this is her way of fighting for a chance to rise to the top.

People don't care at all about the mistresses, the mistresses, the mistresses, the mistresses, the mistresses, the mistresses, the mistresses. The entertainment industry is an industry with the lowest marriage rate and the highest divorce rate for women. Now that Zhou Buqi is familiar with it, he should be careful and protect himself.

Next, Zhou Buqi didn't speak much. Jiang Shuying's heart beat, and she mustered up the courage to take the initiative, but she couldn't find a good angle.

Mr. Zhou is too mysterious.

I'm not sure if he can take a fancy to me. If he doesn't have that idea, rushing to get better by myself will be disrespectful and may leave a bad impression on him.

Suddenly, Mr. Zhou spoke up and asked, "By the way, many of the girls among your classmates are friends with rich people, right?"

Jiang Shuying was very happy and said with a smile: "Well, there are many, but...it's more complicated."

"Why is it complicated?"

"I went to the Drama School for my undergraduate degree, which was very expensive. Many of my female classmates were not from particularly good families, and they had to rely on the support of their boyfriends during their studies."

"Boy friend?"

"It's the kind that gives you a fixed amount of money every month."

Jiang Shuying told the truth frankly, which was part of her cleverness and she didn't try to be clever. In front of a big shot like Mr. Zhou, all cleverness is a joke, it is better to tell the truth honestly.

Zhou Buqi asked: "Is it many?"

Jiang Shuying bit her lip, "There are quite a few, probably more than half."

"so much?"

"It's just a lot more. Many female classmates are in the name of falling in love... but they are really in love. Who doesn't fall in love in college? If you fall in love with ordinary people, you will get nothing. If you fall in love with those who are rich, When people fall in love, they can earn extra income. They always talk to anyone, and it has become a trend."

"Where's you?"

"Ah? Me?" Jiang Shuying's face changed slightly, and she turned around nervously, "Mr. Zhou, my family is very well off. My relatives are all in business. I don't need to be like them. I still have the opportunity to film. , I don’t even want it.”

"Filming?" Zhou Buqi asked, "During college?"

Jiang Shuying said: "Yes, when I was in college, I submitted a lot of resumes with my classmates, and a TV series director contacted me and said that Mango Channel was going to make a TV series with many stars in it, including Bingbing, Xiao Ming and so on, there are also three or four supporting characters in it, which is said to be able to cultivate new people."

Zhou Buqi can basically guess what will happen next.

He's not too new to this business either.

The TV drama director Jiang Shuying mentioned is actually the assistant casting director, who specializes in identifying all kinds of outstanding talents and selecting the best ones for investors, producers and directors.

In other words, except for some core actors, most actors have to be passed by the assistant casting director.

This is the focus of the unspoken rules of the industry, and more chaos is mainly at the middle and lower levels.

Sure enough, Jiang Shuying's next statement confirmed his guess, and said with a bit of annoyance: "I contacted the director at that time, added my contact information, and sent a lot of text messages. I said I was a student and my acting skills It wasn’t very good. He said it didn’t matter. He also sent me the character information and asked me to prepare in advance. He said that the character had many roles and was not a minor role. It would be confirmed by the producer in the end. I didn’t understand it at the time, so I asked the school Seniors, they said it was unreliable."

Zhou Buqi smiled and said, "It's not very reliable."

Jiang Shuying said softly, "Yeah", "I was only a freshman at that time. I didn't understand many things yet, so I still had expectations. Later, the director notified me again, asked me about the time for the audition, and mentioned An either/or request.”

"pick one of two?"

"Well, he wants money, 600,000."

"600,000?" Zhou Buqi was a little surprised. He didn't expect such a trick. "You spend 600,000 to buy a character from him?"

Jiang Shuying said: "Well, five or six hundred thousand. I said I was a student and didn't have that much money. He said he would introduce me to a boss and ask him to help me pay for it."

"Well……"

Zhou Buqi twitched the corner of his mouth.

awesome!

Really good at playing!

Jiang Shuying's expression was relatively calm. It was obvious that she was very confident in handling this matter and she probably had not done anything wrong. "I didn't agree. He said a second condition. He wanted to unspoken rules and let me accompany him. he."

Zhou Buqi sighed.

Jiang Shuying might be able to escape. She comes from a good family and has received a good education since she was a child. She is far from the average art student. But most girls who dream of becoming actors will probably have to choose between these two options.

Even Boss Zhou would find it difficult to change this status quo. Many of the beneficiaries were powerful young men, and even he had to give in.

He can protect Yang Mi, Jiang Bingjie, and Dilireya with his personal influence.

Jiang Shuying continued: "I asked her, are all those celebrities like this? He said yes, otherwise how could he be the female lead? He said he wanted me to accompany him, and then he gave me the role. Fortunately, I didn't Fooled."

Zhou Buqi said coldly: "This is a liar."

Jiang Shuying said: "Yes, he is a liar. Later, when I learned more about it, I realized that many girls who performed in extras had been bullied in this way. They were promised a role and then tricked the girl into sleeping with them. Nothing can be achieved by overdoing it.”

Speaking of this, Zhou Buqi couldn't back down, "There are too many people cheating money and sex in this industry. If you still want to be an actor, you should go to Jieyu Media after graduation. At least no one can bully you." ."

"Thank you, Mr. Zhou!"

Jiang Shuying was very moved, her beautiful eyes filled with emotion.

Zhou Buqi tried not to look at him.

Calm your mind.

She is very beautiful and attractive, especially because she deliberately didn't wear a bra, which added a bit of sexiness like a beauty. But now that Boss Zhou is mature, he can't loosen his belt casually and lose his identity.

Look down at her legs, hmm! So white!

The skirt is quite short too!

Zhou Buqi reached out and patted it. It was very smooth and delicate, and felt very good. "You're welcome."

There are two main tasks in the afternoon. One is to confirm Ucgram’s headquarters in London, and the other is to confirm with Daniel from Spotify to launch the next round of financing.

London's DC area used to be a slum area, dirty and messy, a bit like Brooklyn in New York, full of crime and illegal activities.

In the past two decades, the British authorities have carried out a series of transformations in the DC area, mainly in three steps.

Artistic stage, cultural creativity stage and technological innovation stage.

When driving here, you can see a lot of graffiti painted on the walls of many buildings everywhere. Graffiti masters from all over the world come here to paint. Many graffiti are works of art.

After the subprime mortgage crisis, the cultural industry was impacted, and the wave of technology began. A large number of local Internet companies chose to start their businesses here.

Because an innovative culture has been created here.

Although it used to be literary innovation and random graffiti paintings on the walls, the regional atmosphere has been formed, and starting an Internet company here seems to be more creative and inspiring.

The London authorities have also adjusted their policies in a timely manner to turn this place into a "Silicon Roundabout" and a technology industrial park.

Many big technology companies were invited.

Ziweixing is also among them.

If you want to enter, come quickly. Ziweixing had previously bought a piece of land to build a building. However, building buildings is too slow. It costs 160 million pounds to buy a ready-made office building first and use it first.

As the industrial park develops, land prices here will inevitably rise. The subprime mortgage crisis has dealt a fatal blow to the global real estate market. Buying real estate now can be regarded as bargain hunting.

Zhou Buqi went over to take a look. It was an office building built in 2002 with relatively new infrastructure. It was previously the headquarters of a clothing company.

In the early years, the DC area was the largest service trade production area in the UK. However, this has not been the case in recent years, especially the impact of the financial crisis, which has led to the decline of light industry and its transition to the mainland market.

Zhou Buqi and his team met with the European team of Ziweixing International and the Spotify team to inspect the office building together.

Well enough.

That’s it!

It’s not too late, we have to act quickly. The British government has put forward the slogan of turning the DC area into a "Little Silicon Valley" with many preferential policies and tax exemptions.

Zhou Buqi approved the project and required that the decoration and exterior renovation of the office building be completed within 3 months to reflect Ucgram's brand.

Like Ucgram, Spotify is also a mobile app that is currently very popular among young people in the UK.

Daniel Ek is full of vision for the future, "Spotify has more than 10 million users in the UK. Next, we will deepen our cooperation with Stance, a digital marketing agency, and recruit 200 employees in London to provide some technology, product, and market services." . Prepare for further expansion into the United States!"

Spotify also has users in the United States, but they are very few.

From a strategic point of view, Spotify's current layout is mainly focused on Europe.

Zhou Buqi and his team walked to walk through the entire office building. While walking, they discussed, "We should expand the U.S. market as soon as possible."

Daniel said: "I have already planned to build a R\u0026D center in Silicon Valley."

Zhou Buqi said: "This is not enough. Europe's Internet industry is still too lagging behind, and it must keep up with the pace of development in the United States. If Spotify wants to achieve greater development, it must pay enough attention to the U.S. market."

Daniel nodded, "I want to set Spotify's US headquarters in New York."

"That's fine."

Zhou Buqi doesn't think this is a big problem. Spotify is a music company, and the four major music giants are all revolving around New York.

Los Angeles and San Francisco are in the west of the United States, too far away from Europe. New York is on the east coast, close to the United Kingdom, and is more suitable as a hub for international multinational companies.

Of course, setting up a headquarters in New York would be a huge investment.

A new round of financing must be launched.
