Chapter 775 In Potatoes

The three countries of Malaysia, Indonesia and Thailand are more fond of pure action movies than domestic ones.

After "Stop Killing" was released in China, it has been promoting its release in Asia.

Thanks to the domestic excellent score of 5.21 million—it’s really good. It’s already the best score of domestic martial arts movies in the past five years. It's all sold out.

South Asia and Southeast Asia are remote private lands.

"Stop Killing" was released simultaneously in Malaysia, Indonesia, and Thailand on the 13th of the twelfth lunar month, and the leading actors embarked on the road of overseas promotion, and they were also so busy.

They were all third- and fourth-tier actors in the first place, and now they finally have a representative work selling tickets, so they don't have to work hard.

For the release in countries such as India, Singapore, and Vietnam, Long-distance, Golden Harvest, and Tudou have joined forces and have already negotiated that it will be released in the next year.

"Stop Killing" performed well, and investors were naturally urging to make a sequel. Several leading actors, especially Xie Miao, expressed that they could join the team at any time.

However, Jiang Xuerou, who manages this project, was not dazzled by the 5 million box office. The results are good, and of course there will be a sequel, but it is not a rush to start now.

She decided to make a linked web drama "Stop Killing" first, to improve the world view, and to explain clearly the ins and outs of the main characters.

The first part is determined to be called "Juxianzhuang", which mainly talks about the origin and development of the killer organization where the protagonist Sun Erlang belongs to. It is initially scheduled to be 24 episodes.

Tudou and Penguin video dual-platform simulcast, editing right in Tudou.

Why not solo?

To be honest, there is no bottom line. The movie "Stop Killing" performed well, but the box office of 5 million is not enough to put it in a blockbuster. If "Stop Killing" can reach [-] billion, the potatoes will definitely not be distributed to Penguin.

If it is made into a TV series, Tudou will be even more hopeless. How many years has it been since there was a pure action series?
Now all the dramas are going to idol dramas, men and women, look beautiful, and fall in love.

The style of the entire "Stop Killing" series is rather dark, and Tudou himself is not sure.

Tudou's super web drama project started with the dark style. "Soul Ferry" and "Dark Man" have good reputations on the Internet, but the effect of attracting newcomers at that time was really mediocre!
However, Tudou's dark web dramas are really popular overseas, so I'll leave that for later.

Tudou's online drama is going to be big this year. It plans to make a super online drama since the launch of the super online drama project, the largest investment and the most well-produced drama-"The Twelve Hours of Chang'an"!
Cheng Yuan gave his screenwriting team and literary planning team to "The Twelve Hours of Chang'an", which shows that he attaches great importance to this drama.

But the huge investment and excellent production also mean that the production cycle of this drama will be very long.

Preparation + shooting + post-production, the show is now expected to be broadcast in 19.

"Take your time, this show is sure to explode, don't worry." Cheng Yu'an was not in a hurry at all, "How about the online drama "Ghost Blowing the Lantern"?"

"Ghost Blowing the Lantern" has always said that it will be a web drama, but it has been procrastinated for more than two years and has not progressed until now.

"There is no problem on our side, but Lao Wu has been unable to spare time."

Wu Ershan is the director producer of the entire "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" web series.

"What's up with him?"

"He still wants to make "Fengshen". It's in preparation now, so he can't take care of us."

"Do it again?!" Cheng Yu'an explained the truth to him badly, but he didn't expect that he would still do "Fengshen".

"Three billion, who is taking advantage of this." Although Wuershan came from a remote location, the company did not support the project, so he did not participate in the investment.

"Beijing Culture and Penguin Film and Television."

It's funny, Cheng Yu'an said: "Ah Li yelled so fiercely back then, didn't he pay a penny?"

Good guy, I shouted so fiercely at the dinner table last year, such as "helping the Uganda director's dream" and "believing in the development of the domestic market".

Afterwards, the news was specially released, saying that Ari would cooperate with Wuershan to film "Fengshen", with an investment of 30 billion.

The stock price of Ahri Films rose by the limit.

As a result, it's time to pay now, but not a penny?

"What's wrong?" Wang Wei said, "They have a hundred reasons to shirk when they ask for money. Lao Sun (Sun Ye, Wuershan's most powerful assistant director and producer) went to Ari dozens of times and nothing happened. We need money. In the end, Penguin came in and filled the gap. It’s a pity that Ahri is over, and it’s really a pity that he can’t cooperate.”

Cheng Yu'an wanted to laugh when he heard this: "Their mind is not on filming."

"But their market value is very high." Isn't it true? After investing in two films in a row, Ahri Pictures still has a total market value of 11 billion even though it fell by 330% after the turmoil of "The Ferryman".

"It's really unreasonable to still be able to achieve 300 billion yuan." Of course, it is far from its peak market value of nearly 800 billion yuan, but this achievement is also on par with established manufacturers such as Guangliang.

Cheng Yuan listened to the report on Tudou for a day. Generally speaking, the domestic business of Tudou Video is losing money.

Among them, self-produced dramas have been losing money, and they have lost the most.

Self-made variety shows are profitable.

The live broadcast business is half-dead and has been squeezed out of the top five in the industry. The live broadcast department is seeking transformation or sale.

Speaking of the live broadcast business, the vice president in charge of the live broadcast business made a profound review: "It is indeed my lack of leadership."

In the past two years, Tudou's live broadcast business has shrunk significantly. In the past two years, three business vice presidents have changed, but they have not been able to bring the team up.

Tudou is preparing to lay off staff in the live broadcast business.

Cheng Yu'an already heard the cocoon when he apologized, and waved his hand: "The live broadcast cannot be broadcast, and the live broadcast business cannot continue. The problem is first of all on your side, Wang Wei at the headquarters. You did not put the live broadcast business in an important development position, which led to being teased by them. If you catch up, if you fall behind by one step, you will fall behind step by step, and if you lose your first-mover advantage, it will be difficult to catch up.”

Cheng Yu'an didn't want to throw the pot at the criticism meeting, he came to solve the problem: "Of course, the group also has responsibilities, we have always developed our business with film and television as the center, and the live broadcast does not seem to be directly related to our core business.

It is an established fact that we are behind. Now there are two ways. One is to continue to spend resources on this track to catch up with them; the other is to find a way to open up a new track. We will not play with them. I can’t beat you and me in live broadcast Not doing it. "

Everyone present is inclined to continue to catch up with the original business. After all, so many anchor contracts signed with the platform under the live broadcast business have not yet expired. If they change to a new track, these anchors are not easy to arrange.

But at the end of the discussion, a compromise plan was made. The original traditional live broadcast business will continue. After the New Year, a small part of manpower and anchors will be allocated from the live broadcast department (this is already the result of Cheng Yu’an’s personal efforts) to develop a new business—carrying goods. live streaming.

If the live broadcast business still fails to achieve results a year later, the live broadcast business department will face the risk of layoffs or even the entire business being packaged and sold.

After Cheng Yuan arranged the business of live broadcasting with goods, he continued to look at the information of the Tudou live broadcast platform. Suddenly, a face came into view:
"This little girl..."
