Chapter 258: Taking Advantage of Senior Brother Xiao Ma's Popularity

"Dear guests, ladies and gentlemen."

"Friends of Sina Weibo."

"Good evening, everyone! Welcome to the 'Sina 2011 Internet Festival - Weibo Night'."

The event has begun.

The hosts this time are a man and a woman. The man is Liang Yongbin, who was the male host of this event last year, and the female host is Xie Na, who has many fans.

After the opening, Liang Yongbin first teased Xie Na’s husband Runtu on the stage, and then talked about the current situation of Weibo.

It is worth mentioning that according to statistics, the number of Weibo users in 2011 has reached 2.5 million.

Yang Xiao thought that after dividing this data by 10, he would be lucky to have 2500 million real users.

Xie Na on the stage then announced today's schedule.

There are only two words - award ceremony.

"Tonight's ceremony is divided into three parts: micro-influence, micro-fashion, and micro-power. The awards cover multiple fields such as culture, entertainment, sports, government agencies, and media. It will review the most influential individuals and works on Sina Weibo in the past year."

This event was held in a "banquet style" manner, with the audience sitting around a table.

Yang Xiao was not with Luo Yao. Because he was a guest, he was arranged to sit in the first row with Zhang Yue.

Luo Yao and Li Rui leaned back.

Coincidentally, he and Wang Piku sat at the same table, along with Zheng Yuanjie.

Yang Xiao first greeted Zheng Yuanjie: "Teacher Zheng, hello, I am your fan. I grew up watching your "Fairy Tale King"."

The latter also nodded politely and responded, "Hello, hello~"

"Can I take a picture with you later?"

"no problem."

Zheng Yuanjie agreed immediately. Anyone who was invited to sit in the first row must not be an ordinary person.

What's more, Yang Xiao is so young. Although he doesn't know the details, he will never refuse such a small matter.

This time he was actually invited by Weibo to be on the platform. As a well-known original writer in China, he was specially invited to join Weibo!

Yang Xiao could also guess some of the unique meanings. As far as he knew, even the award for "Annual Weibo Original King" would go to Zheng Yuanjie.

After a few pleasantries, he looked at Wang Feng again.

"Mr. Wang Feng, I am actually your fan too. You are half of the Chinese music scene!"

"Thank you, but I don't deserve half of the throne."

"You deserve it, at least in my heart. I see, you have definitely won the Male Singer Award today! I guess you have prepared the songs for your performance, right?"

"Really? Then I'll lend you my blessing."

Wang Feng felt a little strange. Could it be that this young man knew the inside information in advance?

Except for Weibo King and Weibo Queen, which are voted by the audience online, other awards have indeed been decided.

Wang Feng will be the winner of the "Most Influential Male Singer on Weibo of the Year" soon, and will even perform the song "Spring" as the finale.

Yang Xiao insisted, "Can we take a photo together later?"

After hearing this, Wang Feng became curious and wondered why this young man was asking everyone for photos.

However, he had the same idea as Zheng Yuanjie that those who could sit at the same table were probably not ordinary people, so he did not refuse.

Zhang Yue, who was standing by, shook his head repeatedly and couldn't help but hold his forehead.

Boss, what's going on?
Why do you care so much about other people's artists? Why do you have two different faces inside and outside the house?

In fact, when it comes down to it, you can barely be considered a tycoon in the media industry now. Why are you really asking for photos with people everywhere like a fan?
She really wanted to bring Yang Xiao back to Shenzhen!
We can't afford to lose this person!
There's no way. Yang Xiao did like several of Wang Feng's songs in his previous life, so he could be considered his fan.

Although Wang Piku has been criticized for some personal issues, some of his works are still beyond reproach.

Xu Ri Yang Gang's cover of his song "Spring" became so popular that it was even performed on the Spring Festival Gala. You can imagine the value of Wang Piku's works.

Although Wang Feng was wearing glasses, his eyes were sharp and he noticed Zhang Yue's abnormality at a glance. He saw the name tag on the latter's desk and took the initiative to say, "You are Mr. Zhang from Shiguang Culture Media, right? I have heard a lot about you."

"Yes, hello, Mr. Wang Feng." Zhang Yue smiled. She was not very fond of Wang Feng's songs.

“I hope to have the opportunity to cooperate with your company.”

"sure."

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Zhang Yue saw Yang Xiao greeting Lin Qingxia who was sitting at the next table, which left both him and Wang Feng speechless.

"Ms. Lin Qingxia, I am a fan of yours. Can I take a photo with you after the ceremony?"

Brigitte Lin will also win an award this time, but the award is a bit strange, it is called [The Most Popular Cross-border Figure on Weibo of the Year].

Why? Because in July 2011, she published a collection of essays she wrote herself, which mainly told her debut story, the joys and sorrows of filming, and her inner thoughts about her work.

To be honest, her writing is not bad, and has been recognized and encouraged by the famous Hong Kong talent Huang Zhan (author of "A Laugh in the Ocean").

Brigitte Lin spent most of last year doing cultural exchanges in mainland China. She even gave a book promotion lecture at Yenching University. Directors Tsui Hark and Jiang Wen both came to host the event. Brigitte Lin made everyone laugh with her Shandong dialect.

Well, having transformed from an actor to an author, I am indeed qualified to receive this [Cross-border Figure] award.

The key is that he is a big star, how can he not be popular?

There were a few famous actors at the table next to them, but Yang Xiao had no interest in greeting them.

He does have to care about his identity.

Brigitte Lin and Wang Feng, as well as Zheng Yuanjie who is not in the entertainment industry, can be considered seniors. Wang Feng is already 40 years old now, so he didn't think anything of it when Yang Xiao took the initiative to greet him.

At this time, the person giving a speech on the stage was the chairman and CEO of Sina.

He also cited some hot words on Weibo and began to give a "year-end summary" to the audience.

"In 2011, the most popular name on Weibo was Guo Mei. What we actually saw was a lot of people reflecting on Huaxia's philanthropy."

"The hot topics that attracted the most attention were the 'Taobao style' and the 'High-speed Rail style'. The phrase 'Whether you believe it or not, I believe it anyway' also became a popular sentence pattern on the Internet. We saw countless netizens constantly chasing facts and debating right and wrong."

"In 2011, the public welfare activities initiated by netizens, such as fighting against human trafficking and lunch, also attracted widespread attention and moved many netizens on Weibo."

Yang Xiao in the audience felt a little emotional. Today's Weibo is indeed a place where news ferments, and there are many meaningful and positive things happening.

Unfortunately, in a few years, it will become a cesspool.

on the stage.

After Cao Guowei finished his speech, Xie Na took over the microphone and continued to host the award ceremony for the [Micro Influence] segment.

The first one will be [Annual Influential Weibo Media], and the winners include Voice of China, Zhejiang Satellite TV and New Weekly.

This aspect mainly includes media people, individual companies, charity activities, and authors.

Brigitte Lin and Zheng Yuanjie also won awards here.

In addition, there is a Taiwanese writer named Li Ao, who won the title of "Most Influential Cultural Figure on Weibo of the Year". This man is very powerful and a top-notch figure. He has cursed "Chiang" and been imprisoned in Taiwan, and was elected as a "people's representative". He is now in his seventies and is a top-notch troll.

On the stage, Liang Yongbin continued: "Next, we invite our most popular writer on Weibo to come on stage, he is."

"and many more!"

Xie Na quickly stopped him and said, "Let me announce this. This is my idol. Teacher He and I have bought his books and we often interact with him on Weibo."

"Oh? He's still your idol? As far as I know, this is his first time appearing in public, right?"

"Yeah, this is the first time! To be honest, I thought writers were middle-aged men in their 30s or 40s. He completely overturned my perception. I didn't expect him to be so handsome and talented."

"Please! Nana, you are the host now, you can't be a fangirl!"

Liang Yongbin joked, "I'm sure everyone is curious about who this person is. Let me give you a little hint. He has only been on Weibo for less than two years, but he already has tens of millions of fans. His Weibo topics have received tens of thousands of comments, and the book he wrote was the bestseller last year."

Xie Na took Liang Yongbin's gaze and said loudly: "That's right, the winner of [Most Popular Writer on Weibo of the Year] is - Shi Guang!"

Some people in the audience at the back had already started cheering. Accompanied by a round of friendly applause, Yang Xiao stood up and slowly walked towards the stage.

Wang Feng and Zheng Yuanjie, who were sitting at the same table, were both shocked. Is this young man a writer?
Wang Feng knew a lot of information. He was suddenly shocked and looked at Zhang Yue: "Mr. Zhang, he is the real founder of your Shiguang Culture Media, right?"

Zhang Yue smiled and nodded: "Yes."

"So young." Wang Feng shook his head in disbelief.

At this time, Yang Xiao walked onto the stage. Xie Na handed him a microphone and said with a smile, "Everyone has been looking forward to seeing your true face for a long time! This time, we have been looking forward to it for a long time, and it is finally coming out!"

Yang Xiao picked up the microphone and greeted the audience and the camera: "Hello everyone, my name is Yang Xiao, and I am [Time] on Weibo. Thank you for your attention and support." This Weibo Night, in cooperation with Sohu, will be broadcast live on Sohu Video!

It's just a few minutes late.

The day before, Yang Xiao posted on Weibo that he would attend the Weibo Night and make his first public appearance.

It's like preheating in advance.

Even Weibo posted a related topic on its homepage: "Shi Guang himself appeared at Weibo Night. Please click the link for details." to help Yang Xiao promote the event.

At this time, the netizens who had been sitting in front of their computers and waiting for a long time finally saw him in person.

Since most of them were female fans, they all went crazy and instantly sparked public opinion!
[Damn, Mr. Time really showed his face this time! He is so handsome! His face is so white, like a celebrity! ]

[Shocked, Shi Guang himself is actually a handsome guy comparable to Daniel Wu! ]

[It’s amazing, he said he’s only 20 years old! He’s still in college! ]

[Is this true? Is he selling his account? Who is this rich second generation? ]

[It's true, I bet! Do you remember there was a little singer before, what was his name, the one who sang "Miss Dong", I forgot, he posted a photo of Shi Guang on Tieba at that time, does anyone still remember it? ]

[I know the above post! It seems that the photo that was leaked at that time was just a photo of a young man wearing a high school uniform. Few people believed it. No wonder Time Master didn't refute it at that time! Now it seems to be true! ]

[You can still find this original post if you search on BaPi.com! ]

[Brothers, I checked and it really exists, exactly the same. I want to ask why you didn't investigate it to the end? ]

[Haha, as someone in the industry, this is all due to the power of public relations. It was suppressed in one day.]

[That makes sense. It seems like the guy above is an expert.]

【.】

At this time, many netizens were watching Sohu's live broadcast while interacting on Tieba and QQ fan groups.

And the activity on the stage continues.

Xie Na said, "Master Shiguang, as your fan, I still call you this, do you mind?"

"I don't mind."

"Excuse me, how old are you this year?"

"Yeah, 20 years old."

"Wow, so young? Aren't you still in college?"

"Yes."

Looking at the shocked expression on the face of the male host Liang Yongbin, Yang Xiao thought that he was worthy of being an actor.

We had met backstage before, and now we are just acting according to the script.

Then there was some awkward chat, and then the guests presented the awards.

There was also an advertisement in the middle from Motorola, which asked several winners to play a small game together, and the prize was a Motorola XT910.

[Micro-influence] This segment mostly consists of people who have nothing to do with the entertainment industry, and online audiences don’t like to watch it very much.

It was not easy to expose Yang Xiao's true face, which aroused a sense of novelty among netizens. However, after just a few words, it ended, which aroused everyone's dissatisfaction.

But everyone was just complaining, because the next [Micro Fashion] awards ceremony would be much more exciting.

First, the support method for Weibo King and Weibo Queen’s “chart-hitting” was announced.

Then in this session, other winners will be announced.

For example, the winner of [Most Influential Male Singer on Weibo] is Wang Feng, and the winner of [Most Influential Female Singer on Weibo] has changed from the previous life and has become Lin Wantong.

After it was the latter's turn to win the award, Lin Wantong also performed a new song she released not long ago, "In My Singing Voice".

The atmosphere in the venue immediately became heated up again.

After that, there were star awards in the entertainment industry, which the netizens also watched with great interest.

[The most influential TV actor and actress on Weibo of the year] are Feng Shaofeng and Yang Mi respectively.

[The most influential movie actor and actress on Weibo of the year] are Chen Kun and Li Bingbing respectively.

[The Most Influential Director on Weibo of the Year] is Feng Kuzi. Both If You Are the One and Aftershock were quite popular in the past two years. The reason why he won the award is still related to Huayi Brothers. It is an award without much professionalism and gold content. Feng Kuzi did not attend the event, saying that he was filming outside, and someone else accepted the award on his behalf.
The most popular movie on Weibo of the year is Love Is Not Blind. This movie is destined to be the biggest dark horse of 33. Both its popularity and box office are the best of the year.

Yang Xiao felt a little regretful. If the investor had found a few big names to act in the script of "Passing by Your World" that he bought from him, it would probably have had a chance to surpass "Love Is Not Blind".

Basketball player Yi Jianlian was also quite popular this year, winning the award for "Most Influential Male Athlete on Weibo".

Then it was soon time for the last part of [Micro Power].

The awards here are even more boring. They are mainly to give back to the official accounts, and have set up some awards such as [Most Influential Civil Servant on Weibo of the Year] and [Most Influential Government Agency on Weibo of the Year].

Of course, there are two or three more interesting awards. One is called [Grassroots Celebrity], which was won by a person with the online name [Homework Book]. This person also had millions of fans and was quite popular at the time.

Later, after this person became famous, he became arrogant and did several stupid things in succession, which led to his account being blocked for more than half a year.

How stupid is that? Anyway, it is very sensitive. If it were to be put on the Internet now, it would be banned and even removed from the Internet. You can search Baidu for it yourself.

"Next, we have our [Weibo Thousand Reposts] Award. This award, as the name suggests, is for tens of thousands of reposts and comments. Who will this person be?"

At this time, Liang Yongbin on the stage glanced at the cue card and pretended to be puzzled and asked, "Hey, didn't this winner already win other awards? Why is it him again?"

"But he does have the qualifications."

Xie Na raised her voice and said: "Welcome our [Time] to come on stage again to receive the award!"

Yang Xiao straightened his suit and walked onto the stage wearing shiny leather shoes.

Wang Feng was no longer surprised at this point. He had even discussed many things with Yang Xiao again before, so he didn't dare to be careless with this young man.

The netizens who were watching the live broadcast were instantly excited. They had been waiting until now just to see the winners of Weibo King and Queen announced, otherwise they would have exited the live broadcast room long ago.

[Damn, it’s Mr. Time again! ]

【He actually won two awards! 】

[Damn, why isn't he on the list of Weibo King nominees? I want to vote for Shi Guang! ]

[Forget it, we can’t compete with Yang Mi’s fans. ]

[It's not that we can't compete, it's that our Time Army doesn't want to compete? Our Time Army doesn't like these reputations, and we prefer to keep a low profile. ]

【Don't brag. 】

[Don't be so stubborn, just go and learn about our Time Boss's industries and you'll know. You'll be scared to death! ]

【.】

Yang Xiao came on stage again, and Liang Yongbin asked with a smile: "Welcome to Shi Guang for winning the award again. I just saw the comments from netizens in the background. They wanted to ask if you could tell us which university in Shenzhen you attended."

Xie Na smiled and helped Yang Xiao out: "It's okay if you don't want to tell me, you can tell me quietly. After all, you have too many fans. If you come to find me, won't the school gate be broken down?"

Yang Xiao said, "It's okay. It's at Shenzhen University. Friends who live nearby are welcome to come and visit. In addition, if you come at mealtime, I recommend window 17 in the second cafeteria. The food there is delicious and affordable."

"Haha, we must try it when we have the chance." The two hosts and the audience laughed together.

"Let me reveal another identity of Shi Guang. He is also the founder and chairman of Shi Guang Culture Media. Our Wan Tong is also an artist under him!"

Xie Na suddenly asked, "Hey, it seems like your Shencheng University has produced a lot of celebrities, right?"

Liang Yongbin joked: "Yes, Mr. Ma from Tencent seems to be from Shenzhen University as well?"

"Yes." Yang Xiao nodded.

"Good fellow, you two are actually fellow students. Shenzhen University is indeed a place of hidden talents. I am also from Guangdong Province. If I had known earlier, I would have gone to Shenzhen University. Maybe I would have done better than I do now."

"Hey, please stop talking like that. Fortunately, Sina was not acquired by Tencent, otherwise everyone would definitely say that I was riding on the popularity of my senior brother." Yang Xiao made a self-deprecating comment.

"Hahaha."

Whether it was the audience in the audience or online, they were all amused by Yang Xiao's jokes.

On the Internet, some people even dug out more information about Yang Xiao, which caused another heated discussion!
[Fuck! Master Shiguang is really a master! He has more than just this identity! ]

[Kuaiya and WIFI Master Key were both made by him! 】

[Awesome! Ma Huateng's junior fellow student is really capable! ]

　Thank you for your monthly votes! Although this book has some problems, I will remember all the good brothers who voted for it. Thank you! June is awesome!
