Yu Jiajia, who had just returned from Hong Kong, drove her big G to Yingshi Building.
In the past, everyone was in Tuanjiehu, and there was some confusion in terms of business. Now they are separated. The e-commerce company led by Liu Qiangdong and the entertainment company led by Yu Jiajia seem to have become independent all of a sudden, or the company boundaries have become clear.
Your 99 Network is 99 Network, and my e-commerce is just an e-commerce...
Yu Jiajia stepped on her high heels and came to the 18th floor. Yao Yuan was unexpectedly not there, but Yin Yin was inside.
"Where is the other person? We made an appointment and he's not here yet."
"I got the injection. I feel a little uncomfortable after coming back from Hong Kong."
"Aren't you accustomed to the local environment?"
"no……"
Yinyin paused and whispered: "We finished watching "Lust, Caution" that day, and wanted to practice operating a paper clip. Maybe the operation was too intense, and I was sweating and caught the wind and cold."
Why!
Yu Jiajia responded with sympathy.
After chatting with Yinyin for a while, Yao Yuan came back. His face was not very good and he looked sick. He opened his mouth and before speaking, he made a healthy sound: "Cough cough... cough cough cough...
"
"Okay, okay, your lungs are about to cough up. I'll come back when you get better!"
"It's okay, it's okay...cough cough..."
Yao Yuan waved his hand, motioning for her to sit down, drank a glass of water, took a licorice tablet in his mouth, and said, "How are the talks about Hong Kong?"
"Meiya, Media Asia, and King Emperor are very supportive. The others don't want to participate, but are willing to verbally support it."
"As long as there are a few..."
Yao Yuan nodded and said: "You know that my plan is social networking + e-commerce + entertainment. The scale of entertainment seems to be inferior, but it will be different when videos are included. I chose to launch it at this time because I want to do it once and for all next year.
You must understand the general direction of solving piracy legally and allowing video websites to enter the copyright era."
"You said you want to hoard celebrities. I've been looking for some information in the past few days. You'd better sign all the people on it."
Yao Yuan handed over another piece of information. Yu Jiajia took a look and saw Xu Zheng, Huang Bo, Wang Baoqiang, Wu Jing, Liu Shishi, Yang Mi, Tong Liya, Zhao Liying and so on.
There are powerful ones and popular ones, with few movies and many TV series.
Because since the reform in the 1990s, mainland China's film industry can be said to be able to carry the box office, and you can count them all on two hands.
In the early days, Ge You took the leading role, but later Xu Zheng figured it out and made several hit movies; Shen Teng suddenly emerged with his unique pleated face, creating the exclusive term "Han Teng Liang"; Wu Jing is the master of the main theme of the new era, needless to say.
There are also Huang Bo and Wang Baoqiang, who are barely able to fight alone, but when working with others, they can create an effect of 1+1>2, so they can be considered worthy.
Besides, who else?
Gone!
If you want to talk about the four-character prince, then I have nothing to say...
On the contrary, TV dramas, all kinds of small flowers, and traffic are fierce, creating a false prosperity scene that is full of enthusiasm but is actually a piece of shit.
"..."
Yu Jiajia looked at the list. Some people she knew, some she didn't know, such as Zhao Liying.
"Who is this person?"
"A young actor from Huayi."
"with potential?"
"I think it's okay. It's easy to dig."
"Okay, I'll arrange it."
Yu Jiajia put the information away. She knew that some people had already signed with the company, but it didn't matter, she just grabbed it. In the past, I didn't like to be an artist agent, only Jinsha, Daolang, Phoenix Legend and other urban-rural players.
Now if you want to do it, you have to show your strength.
Yao Yuan gave the list and said: "Logically speaking, you are in charge of the entertainment. I have also moved out, so I shouldn't interfere more, but it is more important at this stage, so I still want to talk to you."
"You are being polite to me, just say it."
"What do you think will happen to the structure of the film and television industry after entering the copyright era?"
"Um?"
Yu Jiajia is a rare smart person, but due to the limitations of the times, she failed to keep up with the idea this time.
“Let’s put it this way, in the past when a film studio produced a drama, the only way to sell it was to sell it to a TV station. After the copyright was formalized, the website no longer had to worry about it and could also pay for the drama, which meant that the film studio had an extra market.
The Internet has capital as a backer and is rich and powerful. The TV station is asking for 10 million, and the website is asking for 20 million. Who do you think the film studio will sell it to?
When there are more and more young Internet users, and when the videos become more and more abundant, TV stations will eventually return to the middle-aged and elderly groups. Except for a few leaders, the overall environment will fall into a downturn, but the status of the website will rise.
Simply put, the right to speak will increase.
We can easily raise the price of a drama to a sky-high price, we can spend huge sums of money to pay hundreds of millions to a trash actor, we can also increase the overall price of film and television dramas, directly killing most TV stations.
Producer - broadcast platform - market, in theory, this is the industrial chain. But what will happen if our voice is strong to a certain extent?
We can say to the producer, please film this story for me and use this actor, otherwise I won’t buy your movie!
We can tell the actors, if you want to make this movie, you must give me half of the salary, otherwise you will not be able to get on my platform!
We can even say to the market, if you like to watch, don’t watch, because you have nothing else to watch anyway!”
Hiss!
Yu Jiajia took a breath of Liu Yifei and was covered in cold sweat.
Yinyin was horrified when she heard it, and said: "This is too exaggerated, can it really become like this?"
"Is this an exaggeration? I don't think so at all...ahem..."
Yao Yuan leaned on the chair, drank water slowly, and said: "What is the essence of a video website? It is a platform, and the platform can be so domineering."
"That's too..."
"You don't need to say anything else, I'm just asking you, do you want to be so domineering?"
"Yes I do!"
Yu Jiajia answered simply and neatly.
"Just think about it and work hard in this direction. Novels, animations, games, movies, celebrities, variety shows, producers, platforms, audiences... they are harmonious and integrated into one, which is the essence of great entertainment!"
What he said to Yu Jiajia made her blood boil.
As the saying goes, thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi, don’t bully the middle-aged and poor. The rise and fall of the film and television industry depends on your own thoughts. Who wouldn’t want such an achievement!
In fact, Yao Yuan didn’t say anything yet. Videos include not only long videos, but also short videos!
Specifically speaking, you think entertainment has no scale, but think about Douyin and TikTok, has the scale increased instantly? Of course, it is still early to mention short videos, and long videos should be done first.
Yu Jiajia cleared the clouds and saw the moon, and clarified the real general direction - monopoly, and couldn't help but feel happy.
At this moment, the phone on Yao Yuan's desk rang.
"Mr. Yao, guests are arriving one after another."
"Okay, got it!"
"Let's go, those company representatives are here..."
Yao Yuan and the other three stood up and arrived at a large conference room, where many people were already sitting. They were producers of more than 80 movies and TV series, including Huayi, Bona, Ciwen, and Hairun.
I was invited here today to discuss the formation of an "Anti-Internet Piracy Alliance."
Previously, Yu Jiajia felt that this was a matter of concerted effort, and that copyright standardization was a common demand of everyone. But after listening to what Yao Yuan said, she looked at these people again...
Those who make movies are okay, but those who make TV series, she has unconsciously looked at these producers from the perspective of "platform".
