Zhang Xiaoyan found it incredible after hearing this, and subconsciously asked: "Why is there no Taiwan?"
"Well, maybe we should consider not broadcasting it in Taiwan."
"..."
Momentarily embarrassed.
This kind of work, which is obviously dark, old and beautiful, no matter whether there is Wanwan in it or not, I don’t dare to release it.
Zhang Xiaoyan chuckled, not wanting to discuss such a topic, and asked: "This time, Boss Yao is said to be attending in person. Do you know what exactly you are doing?"
"I don't know, but if someone shows up, it must be a big deal."
Wang Jing paused and said: "But Hugelive's major shareholders are all in Hong Kong. Boss Yao is having a meeting with them. When they finish discussing, they should be with us."
After chatting for a while, he got up to say goodbye, probably to visit someone else.
Zhang Xiaoyan was sitting in the room, digesting the content just now, and suddenly felt that the times were moving too fast. Directors like Wang Jing, Peter Chan, and Tsui Hark are still all-powerful directors in the eyes of Taiwanese, but in Hong Kong, they
He actually worked for Hugelive.
what does that mean?
This means that their theater movies will be greatly reduced, and they may even stop making them.
"Hey, am I still working for the Internet at the age of 68?"
Zhang Xiaoyan muttered something self-deprecatingly, feeling calm and relaxed for a moment, just waiting for Boss Yao to summon her.
…………
at the same time.
Yao Yuan was having a warm-up meeting in another hotel.
Hugelive's major shareholders were all present. After hearing his thoughts, they felt confused and said, "Yao, I don't understand your project. Hugelive already has 57 million users and has excellent development momentum. Why did you suddenly start short videos?"
"I object too. There is no need to make short videos."
"And making short videos will have an impact on Hugelive, and the gains outweigh the losses."
"Yao, you are a wise decision-maker most of the time, but this time you are indeed a little whimsical, and I'm afraid I can't support you."
"..."
Faced with doubts from the audience, Yao Yuan remained calm and said: "First of all, let's make one thing clear. Short videos are bound to be a trend, and some countries have already had relatively influential products.
Since it is a hot topic, why should we limit our business to long videos? Why not expand? Is it possible that we will only be late to realize it after YouTube and Facebook have entered short videos? "
"Secondly, Hugelive is about film and television dramas, variety shows, documentaries, animations, and short videos, but it is about personal sharing, music, art, and life. There is no conflict at all, let alone an impact on the number of Hugelive users."
"Finally, Hugelive only relies on members to maintain revenue, which is single and unstable. It basically uses debt to develop. If you have a successful short video product, it will not only greatly help the stock price, but also have a huge improvement in specific revenue.
.”
By the way: ByteDance’s revenue in 2022 will reach US$85.2 billion, with profits exceeding US$20 billion.
"..."
After everyone listened, they discussed for a while.
"We agree with your first two reasons, but for the last one, you need to fully convince us, how can short videos be profitable?"
"OK!"
Yao Yuan was prepared. He stood up and stood in front, and the display screen lit up. He did not speak, but played a commentary translated into English by the host of domestic film and television UP:
"Look, this woman's name is Xiaomei!"
Ah bah bah bah!
"This woman knocked over everything in the house and then took 800 milliliters of her own blood..."
In a word, hold the audience, this is the 2014 David Fincher movie "Gone Girl", the content of more than ten minutes is completed in one go.
After playing, the foreigners were stunned.
For overseas audiences, there is a threshold for watching movies and following dramas. They must either spend money to buy movie tickets or pay for streaming media platforms. Although there are free channels, they are not popular.
There is no such thing as film and television commentary. Firstly, I am not used to it, and secondly, there are copyright restrictions.
TikTok didn't exist before, but later it did. A large number of short movie commentary videos appeared, exactly the same as in China, except that the dubbing and subtitles were replaced by AI.
Although there are obvious traces of machine translation and grammatical errors, it does not affect the fact that many foreigners are keen on using these things and cannot stop.
"If you came across this content, would you read it?"
"Can you read it?"
"And you?"
Yao Yuan asked one by one and said with a smile: "Since most people will watch it, in other words, does it represent a new marketing method and channel?
Games, movies, TV series or other things can be purchased on our platform in the form of slices. When we have enough users, this will become a normal and considerable advertising revenue.
It can also make up for Hugelive’s shortcomings in publicity. When a new drama is released, we will promote it through short videos first. Will the effect be better?”
"..."
The shareholders were silent, they had never seen anything like this before, the magical magic from the East.
Followed closely by.
Yao Yuan played another live PK on MiDou. Both of them are big anchors, one on the left and one on the right. Each has a health bar, and the health bar has the value of the gift.
I saw sports cars, airplanes, and hot air balloons flying all over the sky, and the values kept rising. Accompanied by the anchor's hysterical roars and special effects, the one on the left finally won.
"This PK is the current highest value of our domestic platform. The turnover has reached 200,000, which is equivalent to more than 30,000 US dollars. My ratio is 50:50, the platform gets 50%, the anchor gets 50%, and the tax is automatically deducted.
When the era of national live broadcasts arrives, the live broadcast revenue share can reach a very impressive number.
And we can set up our own guild, cultivate Internet celebrities, and take a commission from it, that is, skin a cow twice and make full use of its value!"
Who the hell is a capitalist?
Everyone looked at each other, and Yao Yuan continued: "My idea is that this short video product is for the whole world, and there is only one version. The data is unified, but the content presented in each region is different.
Users in the United States mostly see American videos, while those in the United Kingdom see British videos. Only those videos that are very popular will be promoted to global users.
The same goes for live streaming.
When the anchor reaches a certain level, he can start cross-border PK.
There are so many international tycoons!
Just imagine, an Englishman competes with a Frenchman, a Russian competes with a Turk, or even! An Arab competes with an Israeli, how much can a losing streak achieve?
We can also make exclusive customized gifts for those international tycoons, and the camels are flying all over the desert..."
By the way, cross-border PK has been realized, including Palestinian and Israeli anchor PK.
"..."
Everyone looked at each other again and then burst out.
"Yao, I take back what I just said, you are still the wise decision-maker!"
"Yes, you have convinced me, I even can't wait."
"To be honest, when I encounter this kind of PK, I want to give you some gifts."
"Amazing!"
"No, no, no, I haven't finished talking yet. Generally speaking, short video revenue mainly relies on three types, advertising, live broadcast sharing, and e-commerce. Finally, let me talk about e-commerce."
As soon as Yao Yuan stretched out his hand, the display screen changed again.
