My rebirth is different

Chapter 845

Hu Lili hesitated for a long time, whether to pay for membership or not.

The above is very clear, and after signing up as a member, there are many benefits.

The most important thing is that you can watch one more episode of new drama every day than non-members!
Don't underestimate this point. For a die-hard fan like Hu Lili, if she can only listen to other people's discussions, she has to wait a day to watch it.

It would be better to kill her!

I gritted my teeth and opened it, isn't it just 18 yuan a month!

Click "Activate Membership" on the page, and a recharge page will pop up. The content in it is very simple, with only two items.

One is "monthly membership", the price is 18 yuan.

The other item is "Annual Membership", the price is [-] yuan during the preferential period.

Just about to click "Monthly Membership" to recharge, Hu Lili suddenly stopped, she looked left and then, and felt that the annual membership is more cost-effective...

Twelve months a year, only one hundred and eighty yuan, which is equivalent to only 15 yuan a month.

And "Youth Trilogy" clearly stated that at least [-] episodes in four seasons will be filmed, and the first [-] episodes of the first season have only been filmed now.

It is possible that within this year, the four seasons will not be filmed. If I only buy a one-month membership, then wouldn't I have to continue to buy it in the future.

After all, it would be better to buy an annual membership directly. Anyway, I saved 36 yuan, which is not a lot.

Impulsively, Hu Lili directly clicked on "Annual Membership", logged into her WeChat payment account, and spent 180 yuan to purchase it.

After buying, Hu Lili let out a sigh of relief, feeling slightly regretful.

Hey, impulsive consumption again...

Still, she took comfort in seeing the bold gold crown flashing in front of her username, a badge exclusive to annual members.

For monthly members, it is a silver crown logo, and it is much smaller.

In the future, when you speak in the comment area below the episodes you have watched, you will also have this logo in front of your username, highlighting the distinguished status of paying members!

Of course, users who have spent money must be distinguished from those who have not, and it is a comprehensive distinction.

…………

The next day, after arriving at the company, the female colleagues in the company really discussed the topic of "Youth Trilogy" being launched.

This surprised Hu Lili, she thought she was the only "cousin" in the company.

Because there are relatively few little girls like Hu Lili in the company, and there are more big sisters and aunts, and I don't usually see how everyone is doing.

"Sister Liu, do you... also watch "The Trilogy of Youth"?" Hu Lili couldn't help but asked curiously.

"Haha, look, it was introduced to me by my girl. At first I heard that it was written by a high school kid, but I didn't want to read it. I felt that it was poorly written. Once again I was idle and had nothing to do, so I turned a few pages. As a result, I was attracted at first glance. Later, I got to know Yu Wenfei and how outstanding he is. The singing is... tsk tsk tsk." Sister Liu said with a smile.

"That's right, I was also infected by the child. Now our whole family, except for my family, are all fans of Yu Wenfei!" Sister Li next to him also said.

"Ah? Then do you want to watch the Youth Trilogy series? It will be online in two days." Hu Lili asked again.

"It's definitely something to watch. I like watching TV series the most. By the way, which TV station will this TV series be broadcast on? Why haven't I seen the trailer?" Sister Liu said with a smile.

"It can only be watched on the Internet, and it will be broadcast exclusively on the Facebook video site, not on TV stations." Hu Lili told her.

"Ah? It's so troublesome, but I also have a computer at home. I just bought a Lenovo Huimin computer during the Chinese New Year. I bought it with my girl's student status. It's quite cheap. I will ask my girl to help me fix it later. I haven't looked at it online before. For those who have watched TV dramas, I don’t know if it’s convenient to have a TV.”

Middle-aged women of the age of Sister Liu and Sister Li are naturally not very good at computers.

They usually watch dramas, and they also watch TV. Watching TV while doing housework is the preference of their generation.

As for online video, that's something that young people like Hu Lili like.

"When watching online, you'd better sign up as a member, otherwise you can only watch one episode a day." Hu Lili kindly reminded again.

Sister Liu and Sister Li were surprised when they heard it, "What? You have to pay for it! We never pay for watching TV, why do we have to pay for watching on the Internet, and we have already paid for the Internet fee. ah."

Hu Lili was a little dumbfounded, this is the so-called generation gap.

Although she was a little bit reluctant when purchasing an annual membership, she would not question why Facebook videos were charged.

Because other companies also have to live.

Especially for the investment in "Youth Trilogy" this time, it is said that they invested a total of [-] million yuan!
In 2004, such a large amount of money was shocking to the world, and even a large-scale movie production could not reach such a budget.

In TV dramas, it is unprecedented.

Facebook Entertainment has spent so much money to dedicate a wonderful series to everyone, of course it has to recover some of the costs properly, otherwise the company can't afford it no matter how rich it is.

So Hu Lili can understand that since she can afford the cost and wants to see it very much, she is willing to spend the money.

But Sister Liu and Sister Li didn't understand at all.

In their opinion, do these things still cost money?
Stop it!
Watching TV before, every channel is free to watch, and there is no need to spend money.

Why do you have to pay for watching series online? This is too unreasonable.

Hu Lili patiently explained to several colleagues and elder sisters why there is a charge for Facebook videos, and you can actually watch them without charge, but you can only watch one episode a day.

"Oh, you can watch it without spending money, then I definitely don't need to spend money, just watch one episode every day, it's not a must watch, and you can save dozens of yuan by waiting two more days, it's a good deal. "Sister Liu said with relief.

"That's right, you can watch it without spending any money. No one would really pay for a membership. How stupid that must be." Sister Li also added with a smile.

Hu Lili was dumbfounded, as if she was the kind of "fool" that Sister Li said...

…………

After the Facebook video payment system was launched, the user group was divided into two parts.

Some users, like Hu Lili, have a certain financial ability and are willing to pay for their preferences, so they opened membership.And most of the users have directly signed up for annual membership.

The other part is like Sister Li and Sister Liu.I don't understand why I have to pay for watching a series, and I think I can accept only watching one episode a day, and I don't want to pay.

These people, of course, account for a larger proportion, far exceeding the paying group.

"Mr. Dong, the statistics are out. They are a little more optimistic than we expected. The number of paying users has reached more than 130 million! Among them, more than 90 have directly signed up for annual membership, and the rest are monthly members."

In Dong Xiaoxue's office, the manager of the operation department is excitedly reporting to her.

Although there are more than 6000 million registered users of Facebook videos, when launching the payment system, everyone still dare not be too optimistic.

Because at that time on the Internet, free was the mainstream, and it could even be said to be everything!
No Internet company dares to charge, except for online games.

Even Tencent is so strong that it was scolded bloody by users when it engaged in charging registered users and various paid services in the past two years.

People even launched an activity on the Internet to boycott Tencent's abandonment of QQ. Many companies took advantage of this opportunity to launch their own instant messaging software to seize QQ users.

Yu Wenfei also saw the situation at that time, so he made up his mind to make his own WeChat.

To be honest, if it weren't for Tencent's murder and messy charging, QQ would have unified the domestic online instant messaging market long ago, and WeChat would have nothing to do.

Later, although Tencent canceled unreasonable systems such as registration fees, it has also been severely damaged.

Part of the market share was robbed by WeChat.

Of course, the situation of Facebook video is different from that of QQ, because of the nature of copyright buyout, in fact, there will be no real competitors.

Users want to watch videos, so they have no choice but to come to Facebook videos.

Moreover, Facebook video fees are charged, and the investment is very willing. A "Youth Trilogy" has invested [-] million yuan in investment. This kind of courage is something that other companies dare not think about.

At the same time, paid and free coexist, and there is no situation where free users cannot watch videos.

This point is completely different from the original QQ charges.

Therefore, when the payment system was launched, everyone was not worried that the company would be resisted by users.

However, we are still not optimistic about the number of paying people.

This time, charging is just a start to try, and slowly cultivate paying users, and we don't expect this to make money.

…………

"Oh? So many! It's pretty good. It seems that users' enthusiasm for paying is more positive than we imagined." Dong Xiaoxue was also very happy to hear that.

Only when the two major revenue pillars of advertising revenue and paid revenue are established, can Facebook Entertainment enter a virtuous circle.

It is not a long-term solution to rely solely on the parent company for continuous investment, and it will never be possible for Facebook Entertainment to spin off and form a separate company!
"Yes, just yesterday, relying on these more than 130 million paying users, our membership revenue reached nearly [-] million! Although the number of paying members has decreased a lot since today, there are still some. It is estimated that by tomorrow, We can recover all the expenses we invested in filming the "Youth Trilogy"." The operation manager continued.

It's still quick money!

Of course, all of this is based on the huge user base of Facebook videos.

There are more than 6000 million users and more than 100 million paying users. In fact, the proportion is very small, only about 2%.

But it can't stand the large user base!

Even if only a small percentage of users are willing to pay, it can generate considerable revenue.

Facebook video, with a payment rate of [-]%, achieved a daily revenue of [-] million, which is why Dong Xiaoxue dared to charge fees!
