Chapter 1524 1626. September
In September, the weather is getting cooler.
It is said that the soil and water in the south of the Yangtze River nourish people, and it is true. After living there for a few months, Shu Chang is now plump and white, weighing more than 160 pounds. When she gets up in the morning, Nie Wei needs to help her lift her up.
Shu Chang usually lies on her side, not because she is lazy, but because she has no choice.
As the baby grows bigger, her movements become more difficult. Usually, if she stands for a while, she will feel backache and leg pain. At this time, she also deeply understands why so many expectant mothers have to hold their waists when they have babies.
As the baby grows up, her sleep is also disturbed.
Because the baby has self-awareness at this time, when her sleeping position oppresses the baby, the baby will "resist", so many times, Shu Chang has to sleep in a side-lying position all night, so she often has the problem of stiff neck. Fortunately, there is a master like Nie Wei who knows how to relax muscles and joints, so Shu Chang does not have a crooked neck all day.
Shu Chang's exercise has been added to her daily walk, that is, swimming.
This is what the doctor suggested. He said swimming can help pregnant women to promote blood circulation and relieve blood stasis, and reduce pressure on the lumbar spine, pelvis and other parts. Shu Chang really felt that it was effective after trying it, so she added this item to her exercise list.
In addition, Shu Chang's diet has also changed.
Now because of the pressure of the baby, although Shu Chang is still greedy, her eyes are big and her stomach is small. The pressure of the baby on her stomach makes her unable to eat too much at each meal, otherwise she will easily feel nauseous. As a pregnant mother, nausea is not like ordinary people who feel nauseous, but it will be very painful.
So Shu Chang changed from the original three meals to the current eight meals.
Eating small meals frequently can make her neither hungry nor overeating. Moreover, Shu Chang's current food is mainly fish and shrimp. This kind of food is high in nutrition and low in fat, which is just suitable for Shu Chang. Now there are fresh seafoods shipped from all over the world to Taoyuan every day. These will be turned into exquisite food in the hands of the chef and served on Shu Chang's small dining table.
In addition to these eight meals, Shu Chang also has to take a lot of skin care products every day, all of which are calcium, zinc, vitamins and the like to prevent the risk of osteoporosis.
Nie Wei and Shu Chang seemed to have returned to their student days. During this time, they really learned a lot and experienced a lot for the first time.
As the due date is getting closer, Nie Wei also spends more time with Shu Chang. In the company, the technology department and daily operations are handed over to Liu Jing, and the entertainment business is handed over to Luo Yuan.
During this period, Fanxing has also achieved a gratifying achievement. The shipment volume of Fanxing VR equipment has exceeded 10 million sets worldwide, officially becoming the VR manufacturer with the largest shipments.
Liu Jing's VR is booming, and Luo Yuan is unwilling to lag behind. Recently, she made a big incident.
In July, Luo Yuan reached an agreement with Universal, Sony and Warner on behalf of the Fanxing Music Platform to purchase the exclusive authorization of their music copyrights.
Luo Yuan's move is called cutting off the firewood from the bottom of the pot.
Overnight, netizens suddenly found that in their music apps, except for Fanxing Music, many songs in other apps could not be listened to, especially those foreign songs, more than half of which turned gray.
Other music platforms were also furious.
In their view, Fanxing Music was simply holding a pot and smashing other people's rice bowls. For this reason, other online music platforms quickly appealed and criticized Fanxing Music for the long interruption of music copyright.
Of course, music integration is actually beneficial to users.
In the past, due to copyright issues, many users had to download two or even three or four music softwares to listen to all the songs they liked.
But now that Fanxing Music has spent a huge amount of money to integrate copyrights, users only need to download an APP software of Fanxing Music to catch all their favorite songs.
Of course, users also have concerns. Because of the "long interruption", users will definitely worry about the decline in service quality and the increase in some consumption costs.
It's like a certain American coffee brand. When it was the only one in China, it was so cautious that it didn't do this or that. A civilian brand made itself look like an aristocrat in China. But after a certain domestic coffee brand appeared, this American coffee brand immediately put down its airs, improved its service, and even started the takeaway business that it had never done before.
Competition will make merchants provide better services, which is an eternal truth.
This has also become a major reason for other music platforms to attack Fanxing, but Luo Yuan considered it very comprehensively. After this topic became a hot search on the same day, Fanxing Music quickly issued another announcement, guaranteeing that the membership fee would not be raised within ten years, and also launched an activity of giving away one year of music membership for one year of music membership.
The result is that everyone is crazy about buying Fanxing Music membership, and some users even buy it for ten years.
The membership fee alone has allowed Fanxing Group to recover most of the copyright fees.
In addition, in just one week, the number of users of Fanxing Music has increased by tens of millions. You should know that Fanxing Music is the largest music platform in China with the most users, and these suddenly added users are obviously snatched from other platforms. It is no wonder that other music platforms are so crazy and even want to sue. After all, Fanxing Music's move is almost equivalent to touching the cake of all other music platforms and breaking the balance.
In addition, the proportion of paying members among users has also increased significantly, especially annual members, the growth rate is simply amazing.
It even stimulated the increase in the market value of Fanxing.
In the market's view, the move of Fanxing Music Platform, those membership fees and so on are trivial matters. The key is the increase in user stickiness, plus the influence of music resources on the market after integration. These aspects make the market more optimistic about the future dominance of Fanxing Music Platform, so the increase in market value is reasonable.
Of course, there are also many troubles. Fanxing stretched out its hand to take the cake that everyone had originally divided. It is impossible for others not to resist. After Fanxing's move to cut off the firewood, the other two music platforms suddenly announced a week later that they would share each other's exclusive music resources.
Their sudden cooperation is obviously an emergency plan against the over-powerful Fanxing music platform.
Netizens also shouted that this is simply the music version of the Three Kingdoms. Fanxing music platform is obviously the "Cao" that occupies the Central Plains and the North and has the strongest strength, and the other two music platforms are Shu and Wu.
Now Fanxing platform is leading 800,000 troops to the south. I just don't know if the other two music platforms can be as clever as Shu and Wu, and have the help of the east wind, otherwise I am afraid that they will really be swallowed up by Fanxing.
However, from the current situation, Fanxing is definitely in an advantageous position.
On the one hand, the service of Fanxing music platform has always been the best among the three music platforms, plus the first-hand advantage, the other two music platforms want to resist it, but it is not easy to fight together.
During this period, many people also called Nie Wei, implying that Nie Wei should take care of Luo Yuan and not be too aggressive, which would easily offend people. Isn't it good for everyone to make money in harmony?
Nie Wei thinks that it is true that making money in harmony is right, but that is to treat your own customers. For competitors, you must fight for every inch of gold.
The business world is like a battlefield. It is impossible to have you, me and everyone else be happy. This plan was indeed planned and implemented by Luo Yuan, but it was also agreed by Nie Wei.
For such lobbyists, Nie Wei always responded with the two words "hehe".
It is worth mentioning that "Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace" has officially started filming, and Zhang Ziyi has successfully joined the crew. As soon as the news came out, it also caused a lot of heated discussion on the Internet.
Previously, Zhang Ziyi's performance in the TV series "The Character of a Lady" surprised the public. Unexpectedly, Zhang Ziyi's next work was another TV series.
This also made many people see the changes in the market.
In fact, the status of TV series in the circle has indeed gradually caught up with the reputation of movies in recent years.
On the one hand, it is because TV series are really popular. After all, the broadcast cycle is long. Unlike movies that are broadcast in two hours, TV series are broadcast at least on a monthly basis. Accompanying the audience for such a long time will naturally increase the audience's favorability.
On the other hand, film and television production companies have been more willing to invest in TV series in recent years.
In the past, which film and television company dared to invest hundreds of millions in a TV series, because it would not be able to recover the cost at all. But now it is different, because there are not only local satellite TV and satellite TV, but also more online platforms, plus the diversification of advertising models, resulting in more revenue for a TV series.
With more channels for TV revenue, the cost of investment can naturally increase.
Therefore, it is not uncommon to invest hundreds of millions of TV series at any time. The increase in the investment cost of TV series naturally leads to an increase in the quality of TV series. After all, with more money, directors have more room to play.
For example, in the past, when filming a drama, several actors from the crew might take turns wearing a set of dragon robes. In the end, they were worn out, but there was nothing they could do because they had no money to replace them. Now, they are directly tailored according to the actors' body shapes, and they are also hand-made. The same is true for jewelry. In the words of a producer, they are taking the "cultural and creative" route.
However, while these TV series are being broadcast, they have indeed played a good role in promoting traditional culture.
Today's actors' views on TV series and movies are becoming more and more vague. In the 1980s and 1990s, actors were divided into movie actors and TV actors. Movie actors acting in TV series were called "losing value", which was very embarrassing and on the decline.
But now the situation is different. Actors are free to act in TV series or movies, and there will be no discrimination. After all, today's film and television resources are too rich, and even ordinary people can be the protagonists of movies. It's not like before, when there were only a few movies that could be produced nationwide each year, and everyone had to scramble for them.
Because Hengcheng is very close to Suzhou and Hangzhou, as soon as the crew has a holiday, Zhang Ziyi will take a bunch of baby supplies and run to Taoyuan to stay for two days.
As a ‘veteran’, Zhang Ziyi would talk to Shu Chang every time she came to relieve her inner stress.
Nie Wei was very grateful to her. During this period, Shu Chang was able to maintain a healthy mentality, and Zhang Ziyi had made great efforts.
In addition to Zhang Ziyi starting work, "Rebirth in the Day" starring Xiao Ming has also officially started filming.
But he couldn't come to Taoyuan, because the filming location of this crew was in a mountain city, thousands of miles away. The crew's occasional vacation time was not enough for him to travel on the road. Unlike Zhang Ziyi, who could drive a small car in less than two hours. Can get to Nie Wei's house.
For this TV series, Brother Xiao Ming was very attentive. He not only went to the police station for internship, but also specially found a teacher to learn about grappling and firearms skills.
In addition to Jiang Xin, Song Zuer was also specially invited to star as the heroine.
As a web drama, this cast of protagonists is quite strong. Of course, there are still many people online who appreciate Xiao Ming's acting skills. Faced with these controversies, Xiao Ming also gave Nie Wei a chance to have a heart-to-heart phone call.
On the phone, Nie Wei told him that the best way to face controversy is to make achievements.
"Since those people question your acting skills, then you should use your acting skills to answer them. Explanations are useless, because prejudice cannot be changed by your words. You can only respond to them with your results and let them see your performance. Ability, this can subtly change their thinking.”
Huang Xiaoming deeply believed in Nie Wei's words, and he was indeed very confident this time.
In addition, Nie Wei also received news from Cheng Zimo. He was still on honeymoon with his wife Liu Chengcheng. He was currently in Africa and said he was going to Tanzania to watch the great migration of animals.
As for Luo Kai, the progress is not ideal, but it has not changed. After listening to Nie Wei's words that day, Luo Kai really signed up for a boxing training class, and then shamelessly visited Wu Lifeng from time to time to ask for advice. Wu Lifeng ignored him at first, but recently he was finally willing to teach him two moves.
In Nie Wei's view, this is a great improvement.
The problems between Luo Kai and Luo Yuan have not been alleviated. In fact, it can be seen from their daily work style that Luo Yuan is the kind of person who has a strong desire for control. In her eyes, Wu Hua is that kind of bad woman. , she always thought that if it weren't for Wu Hua's relationship, Luo Kai would not be so 'disobedient'.
Nie Wei felt that as time passed, Luo Yuan would understand and think clearly.
As her due date was approaching, Nie Wei left the manor less and less often. On weekdays, the manor's supplies were left to the family's cleaners or bodyguards to purchase.
This is very painful for the reporters waiting near Taoyuan.
They were counting on taking some photos of Nie Wei or Shu Chang every day to finish the work, but the real owner didn't show up at all, and there was nothing they could do.
