look at that big guy

Chapter 194 Strong Enemy
On the 45th floor of Hang Lung Building, Abby.com's headquarters in China Overseas.

The man whom Ding Shimei calls "Third Brother" sits in front of a floor-to-ceiling window facing the prosperous triangle where the Huanglong River meets in front. This is his favorite office location.There is a sense of control of being on an aircraft carrier island and cutting through the waves in the modern urban ocean constructed of steel and neon lights.

And right now is an era of great exploration in which all parties are gearing up to explore and occupy.

Variety shows have become the focus of video sites, approaching the old traditional pillar of TV dramas, and major companies are making moves. Tenda bought the exclusive rights to the variety show "My Microphone" for 1 million yuan, and Kiwi went to cooperate with satellite TV for 1.5 million Taking over the variety shows produced by many satellite TVs is quite like a group army fighting.In addition, Sweet Potato bought "Talent Show" for 9000 million yuan, and Soho spent the same price to create a variety of reality shows. The industry is about to start a money-burning war, and the copyrighted programs bought with a lot of money in their respective packaging will seize the city and seize the land.

Some website companies that can't keep up, or can't afford the money, will naturally fall behind and be eliminated in the process.

Competition has always been like this, the leader will always have the last laugh and set the rules, and those who can't keep up will gradually decline and die.

As a representative of the emerging forces of the Internet, at the strategy meeting of Abby.com, the third brother made his own deployment in the face of the high-level website full of people.

Actors who have won awards but are still in the third tier, or actors who were once famous but are now silent are called together to create a variety show.Among them, there must be good looks, there must be acting skills, and even the two parties can compete against each other, causing disputes, and it can also drive hot traffic on the Internet. It is best to stir up public opinion discussions in the outside world, and it will be considered a success.

And the most important thing is that the cost is not high. The performance fees of these third- and fourth-tier actors are easy to negotiate. If the asking price is too high, it is enough to replace them. Anyway, there are a lot of people waiting to be on the show, so the cost can be well controlled.

"In this way, we don't need to spend a lot of money to play IP-burning games with big websites, and we can produce variety shows with traffic at the least cost. This can become a breakthrough in the strategic direction and help us grasp new content trends. growth point."

The third brother made the final decision, "The name can be called, 'The Birth of an Actor'."

The words and content caused a burst of whispering among all the senior management of Abby.com, and some even started a brainstorming session.The third brother is very satisfied with the feeling that after he proposes a strategic goal, everyone below immediately brainstorms, contributes ideas, and then perfects him, and joins the Qingqi attack together.Like a group of nomadic cavalry, when the opponent's large army is fighting, they can cannibalize the opponent's group from the periphery, and finally divide and divide, and finally win more with less, and create a great victory with the least cost.

This is an era of competition among heroes, and the third brother has great ambitions to make contributions.

Suddenly a high-level executive said, "I see, this is a bit like the upcoming variety show of Pineapple.com. I heard they say it's 'The Birth of a Director', but they take the team as the main perspective and make it a competition unit. And we are actors with our own traffic and topics, but in fact the form is similar, I have a hunch that this form will create a new type of variety show, which will be popular with the public!"

The excited executive was right and showed he was well-informed, at least quite well on what his competitors were doing.

But when the high-level person said it, he found that he didn't seem to be praised by the big boss. Instead, the big boss looked over and made him feel uncomfortable.

That look is terrifying.

The third brother looked back, it was really good, he would like to thank Chen Yiwen for giving him inspiration, so he benefited a lot from the personal inspection of the College Student Film Festival.

He originally wanted to sign the award-winning team of the film festival, and Chen Yiwen was the first, but he continued to develop according to Chen Yiwen's ideas. He recruited some third-tier actors in the market, or actors who were a little famous before and disappeared later, and then used this Set up a set of ideas to create a variety show like "The Birth of an Actor".

Chen Yiwen is now joining Pineapple.com, and Ding Shimei will even participate in the variety show he created.But after all, it was just a small fight of a group of marginal people.It's all a group of college students who just won an award, and they pretend to be directors?It's still far from being a real director.This kind of variety show is only for the self-entertainment of Pineapple.com.

The third brother thinks that he is taking a higher perspective to really make a variety show comparable to those established websites and satellite TV, and a project that can really participate in the competition of the big era. Of course, the inspiration does come from Chen Yiwen.

Just, do I need you to remind me?
"You said it very well, almost. Next, you go to do market research and gnaw this bone. I have a big reward. You can lead the team in the future. If you can't gnaw it, you will stay in the marketing department for two more years. "The third brother said lightly.

The senior executive seemed to be in mourning, wondering if he was just going along with his boss, why did he end up with a do-or-die job and was assigned to the Death Squad?
……

Chen Yiwen sensed the signs of the competition. Variety shows have become today's satellite TV programs, and video sites have stepped into a blue ocean that has yet to be explored.He wants to break the situation now, not only relying on Wang Xiangchuan and Liu Qirong, but also what he can do even if he is in the business school.Using Pineapple.com, together with a group of award-winning teams who were collectively exiled from the film festival because of the anger of the Electronic Association, this is a good breakthrough point.

But the sense of urgency has come, Abby.com announced the production of "The Birth of an Actor", and for a while it also tore up a place for promotion on the Internet, making Chen Yiwen want to scold that third brother for being shameless.

But a smart person is a smart person. The third brother not only took advantage of his creativity to develop such a variety show format, but also specially sent him an invitation card, inviting him to be a guest on the day the variety show started recording. Attend.

When faced with this invitation, the dormitory roommates had different opinions.

Liu Yu was excited, "Even Abby.com invited you to be a guest! The face is getting bigger and bigger now."

Hu Lijing was a little suspicious, "Why is this similar to Chen Yiwen's 'Birth of a Director' you plan to participate in? Isn't this a reference?"

Zhuo Jun frowned, "This is a big problem. Will it be said that we are following the trend? Chasing the heat? In fact, 'the birth of a director' is in the front?"

Chen Yiwen took the invitation letter, slowly tore it in half, and threw it into the trash can.

Indeed, after all, Abby.com is bigger, richer and more well-funded than Pineapple.com. Pineapple.com has almost no funds, and the other party is willing to spend money to create a wave of momentum. Li has already seen Abby.com first. If Pineapple.com does well in the future, it will be said to follow suit.If you don't do it well, you will be said that you can't even copy ideas.As for the truth, that is the last thing people care about.

In any case, I would definitely not accept this kind of invitation, and would just give him more talk and even traffic.

Now, on the one hand, it is the variety show of Pineapple.com, and on the other hand, it is agreed to give Liu Qirong the script, but so far, Chen Yiwen still does not know what kind of work to give Liu Qirong, at least it is in line with Liu Qirong's ability, can let He perfectly realized the success of his works in another time and space.

Chen Yiwen deeply believes that he has not yet accumulated enough to complete a masterpiece independently, so if Liu Qirong wants to take on the task of apocalypse in another time and space, he must have the ability, be able to inject soul, and even be able to do better.

Then the work must be chosen adequately.

Chen Yiwen plans to take out all of Liu Qirong's works in the next few days to make up, read his biography, and all the materials and reports about him. He wants to find this breaking point.

But the third brother Aibiwang is also very upset.Fortunately, Ding Shimei joined him now. Thinking of Ding Shimei, Chen Yiwen sent her a text message, asking if she was at Qingda University, and would it be convenient for him to go find her?

After a while, Ding Shimei sent a message, "You can do it now, come on, I'll wait for you."

Just in time to go to Ding Shimei's school to relax and see how their team is getting ready, Chen Yiwen packed a bag and headed to Qingda University.
