Chapter 196 Retreat

Liuer IM is promoted very quickly, with Yahoo users as the base, and the number of new users added every day exceeds 50,000. This speed is comparable to Netscape browser, which led the first revolution in the Internet.

With the advocacy of powerful data and various media, some people have even used "another netscape" to describe the momentum of Liuer IM. Instant communication software is different from phone or email. It is not so much a way of communication, but rather a brand new social experience.

For the first time, Internet users truly felt that the Internet has become a part of life, and it is no longer just a tool. Netizens no longer remember to contact each other when they need it. Instead, when they are online, they were surprised to find that the other party is also there, and then they say hello as if they met on the way home. If you have any topics you are interested in, you can chat happily for a while and then continue your life.

Liuer IM truly integrates the Internet into people's lives.

As long as it is not ulterior motives, anyone can see the prospects of instant messaging software. What kind of business is more profitable than changing people's lives? What's more, many of the creativity that Zhou Shuo showed during the operation and promotion of Liuer IM has a sudden feeling of enlightenment. Whether it emphasizes user experience or user authorization promotion, it can be widely used in other projects.

The new network communication method of Liuer IM has quickly become the focus of the topic in the market. It is precisely because of this widespread attention that Zhou Shuo has to deal with all kinds of temptations and spy.

"I hope you can help me recruit someone called Eugene Kaspersky."

"Yes, Russians, the author of "A-V" P security software. If possible, I hope to acquire it together with the "A-V" P software project."

"If he can bring the project together in terms of treatment, I can provide three million US dollars in funds to set up a security software laboratory. Give him 30% of the shares to be responsible for the follow-up development of "A--V" P and the data security work of Liuer Software."

"This is the first order business, I hope you don't let me down. If everything goes well, we will have many headhunting tasks in the future. We can establish a long-term partnership."

"Okay, I'll wait for your news."

Shao Shiming sat opposite Zhou Shuo and moved his body uneasyly. Seeing that he hung up the phone, he asked quickly: "Zhou'er, what kind of Kaba driver is really that capable. Can it be worth three million US dollars?"

"Whether it is worth it depends on his level." Zhou Shuo of course knew Kaspersky's value, but he couldn't be too confident. He shook his head and said relaxedly: "Anyway, 70% of the lab shares are in our hands, so it will only take a minute to drive him away."

"It's okay to try it. The recent cyber attacks have really made people feel overwhelmed." Shao Shiming shook his head and said helplessly.

"By the way, a European company asked whether the international version of Liuer IM could be an agent. Do you see?"

Zhou Shuo waved his hand and said, "Leave this matter to Yu Qiong. The company's daily operations and commercial activities are the scope of the general manager's work. If there is no emergency in recent times, there is no need to ask me for instructions. The promotion speed of Liuer IM is still not enough, I want to go into seclusion."

"Close... shut?" Shao Shiming looked at Zhou Shuo in amazement.

Hollywood, the center of the American film industry. This small village outside Los Angeles is now a huge movie city, and even this place name has become synonymous with American films.

Here are the world's top entertainment industry companies, such as DreamWorks, Disney, Twentieth Century Fox, Colombia, Universal and Paramount. These crocodiles with a well-known brand in the world gather here. With their mature business model and high-tech support, entertainment products representing American culture are constantly produced.

Of course, Hollywood not only has these top film companies, but also has many independent producers. Many times, it is these people that have truly developed the diversity of American culture.

"Ms. Nora Ephron?"

Zhou Shuo was really uncomfortable for a while from the cold Seattle in the north and suddenly came to Los Angeles with the Mediterranean climate.

"You are Mr. Joey?"

Ms. Nora Ephron is already a fifty-four-year-old woman. But she can't tell from her appearance. Her elegant manner and gentle smile make her look like she has been younger for ten years.

The status of Hollywood screenwriters in the early years was no higher than that of Chinese screenwriters twenty years later. Producers can change scripts, directors can change scripts, and even actors can change scripts at will. However, Nora Everon has made a golden sign in such an industry with her talent. Her name is the guarantee of her identity and status in Hollywood. In 1995, she has won the Oscar for Best Script Award twice in Best Script and Screenwriters Guild Awards.

It can be said that in Hollywood, Nora Everon is a banner in the screenwriter industry.

"Mr. Becanning mentioned you, I have been waiting for a long time." Nora Everon bowed slightly on the chair and shook hands gently with Zhou Shuo.

"I'm very sorry, this is my first time writing a script. It seems that I have overestimated my abilities." Zhou Shuo sat down opposite her generously and smiled apologetically.

"First time?" Nora Everon was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said, "Writing a script is a very professional thing, but since you have found me, I will give you some advice. Even if the script is not perfect, I hope you will not be discouraged."

"Thank you very much for Ms. Ephron's help." Zhou Shuo took out a thick stack of bound documents from his bag beside him and handed it to her: "This is a movie script I wrote, called "Electronic Love Letter"."

"Oh, electronic love letter? This name is very interesting. It is a love story? How can it be linked to electronic technology?" Nora Everon picked up a pair of round-frame gold-rimmed glasses from the small coffee table next to him and opened Zhou Shuo's script.

"It describes an online love story, the love that happens on the Internet." Zhou Shuo was afraid of disturbing her attention and introduced softly: "The Internet is the most advanced electronic technology now, which can make two people far apart but feel like communications in front of you. Even on the United States and Europe, a letter can only be conveyed in a second. In this movie, two young people living in the Upper West Side of New York, one is the owner of a super chain bookstore, and the other runs a warm street corner children's bookstore..."

Zhou Shuo briefly told the plot of "Electronic Love Letter". In this version, he added a lot of introductions to various Internet functions. Of course, the largest space must be left to Liuer IM. Let it replace the emails in the original version and become a tool for the male and female protagonists to contact each other.

Nora Evelon didn't know if he had listened to Zhou Shuo's introduction, but he just kept repeating the page-turning action, as if he had completely devoted himself to the world in the script.

Almost an hour later, she turned over the last page of the script and then let out a long breath.

Nora Everon closed his eyes, carefully savored the plot of the script, opened his eyes and said, "I can't believe it's really the first time Mr. Joey wrote a script?"

"I am not a writer, but an electronics engineer. However, I have had a literary dream since I was a child, and I hope that one day my works will be recognized by more people..."

Zhou Shuo, an electronic engineer, has a ghost's literary dream. I have watched a lot of movies, but if you say that, there are a few artistic cells, he himself doesn't believe it. He just talks about people and talks about ghosts.

What do you talk about literary and artistic young women, Bourgeois little and cynicists without talking about "feelings"? Feelings are their G-spots, and you can see the high trend.

Sure enough, after Zhou Shuo told the story of a science man who yearned for literature and art, Nora Evelon was moved. She held his hand and said with relief: "Yes, in you, I have seen the miracle of persistence! As long as you have a heart that yearns for freedom and art, your dreams will definitely be realized."

"Yes, my dream is to make a movie that is popular with the audience!" Zhou Shuo said confidently with tears in his eyes.

"Okay, let's put your script here." Nora Everon patted the script in his hand and said, "I'll give you some touches and then give it to a few familiar film companies to try it."

"No, ma'am, you misunderstood." Zhou Shuo waved his hand quickly and said, "I am actually a little asset, so I hope to invest in this movie myself."

"Oh?" Nora Everon looked up and down Zhou Shuo, as if he was examining the confidence of this young man, and actually dared to be an independent producer.

There are many independent producers in Hollywood. They are either rich themselves or relatives and friends of rich people. In short, they do not rely on producers from large companies and institutions. They have a deep background. However, Nora Evelong cannot tell how high his social status will be in Zhou Shuo from his identity and age. She has also heard from his friend Becanning, who introduced Zhou Shuo, that mainland Chinese people cannot even have enough food, so will they invest in Hollywood to make movies?

"Okay, I can introduce you to some directors and actors who are good at filming romance films. They will definitely be interested after reading your script." Nora Everon said with some disappointment.
