We are all old friends, nothing to be polite about.
Yao Yuan struggled to break open a grapefruit and asked casually: "Has there been any change in Wensha's love life?"
"As always, still alone."
"You haven't found one in all these years?"
"If you get used to it, you'll be fine."
Wensha flipped her hair. She was in her 30s, and her whole body had a mature aura. Her round and plump butt was wrapped in a narrow skirt, forming a perfect peach shape on the sofa.
But Liu Weiwei rolled her eyes and said: "A week ago, she had a boyfriend. A month ago, she not only had a boyfriend, but also a girlfriend.
If you go a little further, wow, there is a gathering of talents!”
"Stale vegetables will naturally be thrown away. Who likes expired food?"
Wensha pursed her lips and smiled.
Alas!
Yao Yuan was shocked, did I train her? It's none of my business, right? Maybe she likes to raise fish by nature.
He broke open two halves of the grapefruit and handed them over, then started talking about business: "I have some new ideas recently and want to create a short video product. Do you know Kuaishou?"
"Have not heard!"
"Let me show you!"
He picked up his mobile phone and showed the two of them what Kuaishou was, and the two of them saw Yi Shui's "One person and I'm drunk", "Laotie 666" and "Fuck you Male Gobi"!
“Don’t look at the content, look at the pattern.”
"They have algorithms that recommend content based on your preferences. The longer you watch, the more accurately they can control your preferences."
"You don't see any difference then?"
"There are too few types, and they are all really old guys, so do you know what kind of group Kuaishou is targeting?"
Seeing Liu Weiwei nodding, Yao Yuan added: "What I want to do is exactly the opposite, to eliminate these things, create high-quality, standard original content, and then slowly sink.
I will use a sum of money as an incentive for creators and give bonuses based on traffic.
I will also let a large number of celebrities come in and sponsor popular programs.
My goal is to create a new giant platform that integrates originality, information, live broadcast, promotion, and e-commerce, but Maili is a long video and this is a short video.”
"So you want us to do it?"
"That's right!"
“What about Tudou Live?”
"In the future, let Short Video acquire Tudou and integrate live broadcasting. The scale of a single live broadcast is too small. I will send you to Shanghai. Don't tell me that you have no idea. Now I will give you a chance to become bigger and stronger."
"..."
Liu Weiwei hesitated.
She originally had a character of being content with a small fortune, and was afraid that she would not be able to take on too much of a burden. When she was struggling, Wensha suddenly said: "Sister Weiwei is not interested. I want to give it a try. Can you leave it to me?"
"Who says I'm not interested? I do it, I do it!"
Liu Weiwei patted the table and said: "I have been doing live broadcasts for several years. I know the market and user tastes well, and I am also familiar with the entertainment industry. I am confident that I can make short videos well."
"That's a deal?"
"It's settled, I can issue a military order, but if I can't do it, I'll show you my head!"
"Your head is worthless. If you don't do it well, I will take back all your resources. Considering the past relationship, you can leave with dignity. So I ask again, have you really decided?"
The way Yao Yuan laughed made Liu Weiwei feel chills, and she knew that this was not just talk.
After struggling for a long time, he finally gritted his teeth and nodded firmly.
"Well, you come back first to prepare the short video, while Wensha manages Tudou in Shanghai."
"It's all up to you~"
Wensha flipped her hair again.
"The core of short videos is algorithms. I will set up a large technical team to specialize in algorithms."
"Okay! What's the name of this product?" Liu Weiwei asked.
"You are the leader, of course I will go with you, let's call you Tudou Video!"
"Potato short video! Hehehe..."
Liu Weiwei's joy was visible to the naked eye.
Yao Yuan shook his head secretly. In fact, her abilities have been developed, but she has no self-confidence and has a relatively salty personality. She needs pressure and encouragement.
After talking about business, Liu Weiwei talked about SNH48.
Yao Yuan Yile, oops, this group has also emerged. I followed it for a while in my previous life and voted for the little idol, but later I fell out of the trap.
He is in favor of taking a stake and using it as a base for cultivating girl groups.
So far.
All of Yao Yuan's business layout has been completed, and the rest are just derived from existing products, and there is no new track - unless he wants to build a car.
He will create Tudou Short Video under the name of 99 Network Technology, Liu Weiwei will be transferred back as CEO, Wensha will be promoted to CEO of Tudou Live, and when the short video becomes bigger, he will acquire Tudou Live.
Because in the early stage, you have to keep it under your nose and control the direction by yourself.
Then there is the formation of a technical team to study algorithms. Douyin can defeat Kuaishou because of its excellent algorithm: it can interpret the user's interest DNA within 5 seconds, and it can update within 10 seconds after each user operation.
User model.
Really awesome.
…………
The summer season of 2023 can be said to be the best in history, with a box office of 20 billion, with two films "The Lost Girl" and "Desperate" exceeding 3 billion, and "The Gods" and "The Octagon" exceeding 2 billion.
There are also "Chang'an 30,000 Miles", "Hot", "The Meg 2", etc., which are also hot topics and box office.
More than half of 2023 has passed, and no Hollywood movie has exceeded 1 billion, which is the first time ever. You know, there is no "Domestic Protection Month"!
It can be seen that Hollywood is indeed not popular anymore. Firstly, the imported genre films are too similar and boring; secondly, Chinese audiences are extremely disgusted by political correctness.
As for the 2015 summer release, it is still in the development stage and does not have such a large capacity. At most, there will be one hit model.
This year’s hit movie is called “Monster Hunt”!
In the VIP hall of Jiahe Cinema, Yao Yuan did not accompany Yinyin to watch the movie this time because he also wanted to watch it - Ke Zhendong was replaced by Li Xian, and Eric Tsang was replaced by Ng Meng-tat.
"Hahaha!"
"The special effects are really good!"
"It's just that this song and dance is a bit awkward!"
"If you follow Hollywood, the plot structures are exactly the same. Although there are flaws, the visual effects are already the best in the country."
Yao Yuan commented objectively and turned around and asked: "How much is the box office of "Monster Hunt"?"
"2.2 billion!"
"I remember "Fast and Furious 7" was 2.426 billion?"
"Yes, do you think it can be surpassed?" Yu Jiajia asked.
"It depends on the situation. If there is any difference, I will give you a subsidy and then apply for a key extension. Even if we chase the box office, we have to chase it openly. Don't let the underworld soldiers cross the border and make people laugh."
Historically, "Monster Hunt" was originally a hit, but just because it wanted to be number one in the year, tens of millions were poured into the box office, ruining its reputation.
It was also because Jiang Zhiqiang did not have enough resources that he resorted to secret tactics, unlike Yao Yuan who now openly provides subsidies.
At the end, he added: "The Hugo Awards are about to be held. Regardless of whether you win or not, you should arrange for Liu Cixin to go and bring a few more people with you. Don't be too shabby."
"..."
Yu Jiajia's expression was subtle and she said mockingly: "You don't see the rabbit but don't let the eagle fly. If you don't win the prize, can you send someone to do it?"
"Don't talk nonsense. The Hugo Awards are absolutely fair and open, and all members' votes are accepted!"
