It’s another weekend, this month is the time for youku to conquer the city.
When "This Man Comes from Diqiu" reached 20 million views, Youku released a piece of good news:
The number of video views on Youku Daily exceeded 100 million for the first time.
As soon as the news came out, the people in charge of the video website, including Wang Wei, were shocked.
Can a good movie really bring such a large number of users to Youku?
It actually directly ranked first in the industry in terms of single-day views and became the leader of current video websites?
Although Tudou.com is undoubtedly still the leader in terms of content and has the most monthly active users, no one can tell when they will be surpassed by Youku.
Even some people who know the inside story of Youku will find that Tudou’s daily activity has been overtaken by Youku.
Therefore, the people in charge of Kuliu.com, Baojingyin, LeTV, Souhu, etc. who had discussed the issue of share distribution with Tang Ze regretted it.
They should have agreed to Karasawa's 30% share request from the beginning.
If they agree, maybe Youku’s status will now be that of their website.
It’s all their fault for being too short-sighted!
Thinking about past history, didn’t many brand giants rely on a single product to play the leading role when they first started?
For example, Nintendo directly became the number one in the industry with its "Super Mario" game.
If they could have seen the current scene, everything would have been different, right?
However, there is no point in regretting anymore. Youku has become a trend and has been officially promoted to a video website giant.
Nowadays, the only one who can compete with it is Tudou.com.
And you have to wait until the popularity of the movie wears off before you can be funny.
Now the entire Internet is going crazy because of this movie. If you show off your coolness at this time, you are courting death.
Some people in charge believe that one movie can temporarily determine the pattern of video websites. If you make a few more movies, wouldn't it skyrocket?
Someone immediately contacted Tang Ze, hoping to cooperate with him in making a movie, and their website paid for it.
……
"Director Tang, do you really not want to consider it? Souhu Video is not only willing to invest in full, but your 30% share will not be less. We can even give you an extra 5% of the remuneration!"
Looking at the indifferent Tang Ze across from him, Deng Ye felt a little ashamed.
The situation is reversed!
When she faced Tang Ze, she was arrogant and treated him as a nobody.
Unexpectedly, because of her arrogance, she missed an opportunity that might have made Sohu surpass Tudou.
When the Souhu headquarters learned of the news, they immediately asked her to come and discuss his next movie with Tang Ze.
We can't talk about it. Although the headquarters has not said it clearly, her position as chairman may not be long.
"Alas!" Tang Ze shook his head, "Mr. Deng, it's not that I don't want to cooperate with Sohu. I have repeatedly emphasized that my next movie will only be a theatrical movie!"
"But I heard that you agreed to make three online movies for Youku."
Tang Ze looked at her and really wanted to ask you whether you really don’t know or you pretend you don’t know?
He is already a shareholder of Youku! If he doesn’t take pictures for his own website, how can he help an outsider take pictures for you?
With Zhang Chaoyang’s temperament, if he found out that his website had missed the treasure of Tang Ze, would he not first investigate Tang Ze?
A few days ago, after "This Man Comes from Earth" exceeded 20 million, Tang Ze signed a share transfer agreement with Gu Yongjiang.
If a caring person pays attention, it is impossible not to know.
But obviously, whether Deng Ye knew it or not, as a sensitive woman, Tang Ze's eyes at this time seemed to her to be a kind of contempt.
Just like the winner mocking the loser——
Look, who told you to be so arrogant back then?
Then I lost the opportunity to achieve myself.
Perhaps she remembered that she had treated Tang Ze with a sense of superiority before.
Perhaps she couldn't bear the gap, so she immediately felt a little angry and felt humiliated.
After Tang Zefu explicitly refused again, he stood up and left without looking back.
But before leaving, she also said something that made Tang Ze frown a little: "Director Tang, we'll see, you will fail!"
After thinking about it, Tang Ze shook his head, just thinking that it was a woman who wanted to be strong.
Deng Ye left, and soon someone else came to the door.
During these days, Tang Ze’s residence was already bustling with people!
There were more than 20 people who visited alone, including some small websites that couldn't even afford the investment and wanted to convince Tangze with words.
Tang Ze already had a shooting plan, how could he agree to it?
Naturally, they were all blown away.
And when even Wang Wei came to the door, Tang Ze was a little surprised.
With the size of Tudou.com, as long as it is a movie, there will definitely be a lot of people watching it. If you don’t watch that spoof movie, will it be about to break 8 million?
The share he wants is so high that there is no need to invite him to shoot.
However, Wang Wei didn't come to discuss movies with Tang Ze, but actually asked him to join Tudou.
"Perhaps outsiders will think that Youku's victory is due to this movie, but in fact marketing is the most important thing." Wang Wei said:
"The one who provides these marketing plans must be you, and it can only be you!"
"Therefore, no matter how many promises Youku makes to you, I am willing to invite you to join Tudou on the same terms!"
Tang Ze's expression did not change, and he tapped his fingertips on the table as if thinking: "Mr. Wang is also willing to offer shares?"
Wang Wei nodded: "Of course I learned that you signed an agreement with Youku, but it's not too late, isn't it?"
"Good birds choose trees to roost in, and if you cash out your shares in Youku now, you can also get an additional income."
Tang Ze smiled: "Mr. Wang, don't you want me to stay in Youku?"
"Of course! You are an unpredictable opponent."
Tang Ze asked: "As for the 20% shares, does Mr. Wang have the courage?"
"20%...is he, the ancient swimmer, crazy?" Wang Wei almost jumped up.
In his heart, he overestimated Tang Ze enough, and even prepared a high salary of one million, a fixed film investment amount, and a certain dividend to invite Tang Ze to join.
I never thought that even if Gu Yong transferred his shares, it would still be 20%!
He thought it was a 1% or 2% share, because if it were him, he would only be willing to contribute so much, no more than 5% at most.
After all, in the future, Tudou is likely to be a giant like Netflix. How could he give up so many shares for a director?
"Alas!"
Knowing that it was no longer possible to join Tang Ze, Wang Wei stood up and shook hands with Tang Ze, "I hope we have a chance to cooperate next time!"
"Definitely!"
Watching Wang Wei leave, Tang Ze felt a little emotional.
Wang Wei probably also thinks that the fact that Tudou is now surpassed by Youku is just a temporary influence brought about by the movie.
But only Tang Ze knows that Tu Dou will never have a chance to rise again.
Even without his movies, Youku integrated Baijia Video in 2008 and continuously launched high-quality content to attract customers, and its size has already closely matched that of Tudou.
Later, Wang Wei had a marriage incident, and was overtaken by Youku, which completely made Tudou's peak stay in the past.
This is the cruelty of business competition!
The position changes hands accidentally.
Two weeks later.
"This Man Comes from Earth" exceeded 30 million effective broadcasts, allowing Tang Ze to successfully obtain the highest sponsorship fee of 1.2 million yuan from advertisers.
With this money, the film company is finally no longer so tight.
As for the website's advertising share, it will end when there is no valid visitor for more than two days.
Of course, you can also settle in advance.
However, although the number of movie clicks is still increasing, the efficiency has gradually slowed down.
Most people believe that the movie will eventually stop at around 35 million views.
Tang Ze thought so too, until he learned from Lao Wu that someone from Naifei wanted to see him.
