China Entertainment: I became a capital tycoon

176 Chapter 174. Is there still a way out?

One day later is Halloween, a Western festival that was very popular at the beginning of the millennium.

And Jianguo Hotel is still a joint venture hotel, so the festive atmosphere is even more intense. There are pumpkin lanterns hanging in many places in the hotel, as well as strange decorations.

On the way to the hotel, Cao Yu and Zhou Juan were in the same car.

"Mr. Zhou, how is the broadcast of "Prison Break"?"

"Prison Break" has been broadcast on the video site for two days. Cao Yu has been busy looking for a suitable tea master recently, but he hasn't paid much attention to it. After all, he has watched that drama.

"Although we have promoted it on video sites and Weibo, the effect is not very good. The highest playback volume is only 11."

Zhou Juan frowned. She didn't approve of the paid broadcast at the beginning, but she didn't expect the effect to be really mediocre.

The broadcast volume of 11, two yuan per episode, is only 10,000+, which is still the highest. According to this trend, it may take a long time to recover the cost of 400 million.

"11?"

Cao Yu didn't expect the effect to be so bad, maybe Chinese people are not used to this charging model.

Sure enough, Zhou Juan continued: "There are still many people leaving messages on our official Weibo, saying that our charging model is crazy about money, and there are still people wantonly attacking and discrediting our website."

"Okay, I see."

Cao Yu probably guessed that some of these people who attacked and smeared may be real users, and more may be competitors.

It's not that he didn't think about the membership model at the beginning, but there are too few paid TV series and movies on the website now. If users are asked to buy memberships just for one "Prison Break", he feels that users may not be willing.

Now it seems that his original decision was still wrong.

Since you are not willing to spend this money, then I can only make more money.

"Mr. Zhou, what do you think if we require VIP members to watch more films and movies? After joining the membership, there are more benefits, such as free movies and no need to watch advertisements."

As soon as Cao Yu finished his suggestion, Zhou Juan frowned even deeper.

It has already been scolded for charging a fee for a movie. If more movies charge a fee, can our website still do it?
"What? You don't think this is okay?"

Cao Yu found the word "Chuan" deep on Zhou Juan's forehead, and asked with a smile.

"Joining membership and exempting the idea of ​​advertising is actually a bit of a chicken-and-grass meaning. It will make many advertisers give up our platform, and how much income members can earn. Now all video sites are all dependent on advertisers."

Zhou Juan had no choice but to suggest earnestly that he didn't want the boss to go down a road of no return.

"Then get rid of the ads!"

Cao Yu suddenly said this.

"What? Ad-free?"

This next week, Juan was even more surprised. Advertisements are the most important income of video websites at present, so they are directly free?
"It's not to give up the advertisement, but to exempt the advertisement at the beginning of the video. However, some advertisements can be inserted on the page, and a member shopping area can be opened, which can be combined with Jingdong Mall, so that we can absorb more members and increase the number of members. viscosity."

Cao Yu said while recalling the general model of Xiaopozhan, combined with the model of Aiqiyi.

"If some UP masters' videos have a high volume of playback, we can also give them some subsidies. Then add the UP master reward function, and both parties will get [-]-[-] points."

"As long as the content is attractive enough, profit is naturally no problem."

The unsatisfactory playback volume of the video this time made Cao Yu speak out all the planning of the video website.

Zhou Juan kept writing down in the notebook with a pen, but her heart became more and more surprised.

"Can the video site still do this? The model the boss mentioned is more advanced than the oil pipes in the United States. If we operate according to this model, will other video sites still have a way out?"

Originally, the content of Flying Goose Video is currently the best among domestic video sites, and the barrage function has attracted a group of users.

If the advertisement before the video is removed, won't it attract users from other websites?
"What is boldness, what is pattern?"

Zhou Juan wrote down all Cao Yu's opinions, looked up at the admiring boss, and asked suddenly after a while: "Boss, what if this model can't make a profit? There are not many members joining?"

"Then I'll take care of you guys, what are you afraid of?"

The entertainment company is currently making a profit. Besides, they still have the copyrights of such TV dramas and movies in their hands, but they are all valuable things.

"With the words of the boss, I feel relieved."

Zhou Juan smiled, and thought: "It's a good thing I didn't start a video website myself, otherwise, I would have been beaten so hard by the boss that I couldn't fight back."

While Cao Yu was planning the future of the video website in the car, a commercial vehicle was also driving towards Jianguo Hotel.

In the car, there was a tall and beautiful beauty, but beside her, there was a younger and more beautiful beauty.

"The boss is really serious. He has to accompany such an ugly man for dinner."

The tall and slender woman looked dissatisfied.

"Shuangbing, although it's just to accompany the drinks, and you don't do anything, but you are almost like the boss's wife now, and you still have to participate in this kind of entertainment, the boss is indeed a little too much."

The young beauty was also a little dissatisfied.

"What lady boss? Now that the boss has Huo Siyan by his side, my status is right."

The woman named Shuang Bing suddenly sighed. Although she was just over thirty and in her prime, she couldn't resist the appearance of a younger and more beautiful girl beside the boss.

She now has a serious sense of crisis.

After sighing, she didn't want to talk about herself, so she said to the girl beside her, "Er Bing, how is your godfather doing now?"

"He's in Xiangjiang, and I'm in Yanjing, and he comes and goes as soon as he's called. Hey, I just hope to have more resources."

This woman named Er Bing also frowned with a helpless expression on her face.

"You don't have enough resources? "Mo Gong" with Liu Tianwang has just finished filming, and after the new year, there will be a TV series and three movies. I am a little envious."

"What are you envious of? You are the Best Actress in the Hundred Flowers Awards today. I can win an award anytime."

"There is a chance."

The two chatted about the entertainment industry, and the luxurious business car slowly stopped at the entrance of Jianguo Hotel.

The two were drinking with someone, so naturally they didn't bring an assistant.

They got out of the car and went straight to the elevator, arm in arm.

"Why are there so many people here suddenly?"

Seeing that there were many more guests in the hotel than usual, Fan Erbing complained dissatisfiedly, then lowered his hat and asked, "I wonder if Director Feng is here."

"It should be here."

Li Shuangbing glanced at the time, there was still a while before the agreed time, she estimated that other than the little boss and Mr. Ma, everyone else should be here.

The elevator door finally opened, and the two walked in. Just as the elevator door was about to close, two of the girls ran in in a panic, followed by two other girls.

The two girls who rushed into the elevator were afraid that they would not be able to catch up with the elevator, so they ran a little too fast, and one of them accidentally bumped into Fan Erbing directly.

"sorry."

Although this girl is very beautiful, she looks young, and she didn't see who was hit. She apologized casually, and then shouted outside the elevator: "Lan Lan, Yu Qi, hurry up."

"Blind your dog's eyes! You are looking for death by running so fast!"

Fan Erbing was upset all of a sudden, she felt a little hurt from the impact just now, so she cursed casually.

Zhao Liying, who bumped into someone, was taken aback for a moment. She had indeed bumped into someone accidentally just now, but she was already too humble. She never thought that this woman would scold him so badly.

"Why are you swearing? She has already apologized for not listening!"

Mao Xiaotong, who came in with Zhao Liying, quit. She has a straightforward personality and can speak with her mouth. She immediately raised her head and shouted dissatisfied.

"What's wrong with scolding her? It's none of your business, mind your own business!"

Fan Erbing yelled at Mao Xiaotong, and then said to Zhao Liying: "Come here, and apologize to me! Otherwise, you will be crippled today, little girl!"

At this moment, Shen Lanlan and Zhang Yuqi also walked in. When they heard Fan Erbing's words, they immediately surrounded Fan Erbing and accused them, "Who are you? You are so awesome?"

"What's the matter with you? Go away!"

Fan Erbing was already in a fit of anger. Seeing that she was surrounded by a few little girls, she became even more furious. She didn't recognize Shen Lanlan at all, and she had never seen anyone else.

Li Shuangbing also looked at these girls, and said coldly: "She should apologize for bumping into someone!"

Zhang Yuqi's sharp eyes recognized Li Shuangbing first, and said in surprise, "She is Li Shuangbing!"

Immediately, he saw the arrogant woman again, and said, "She is Fan Erbing!"

It was only then that everyone recognized that the two women were two actresses who had been very popular in recent years.

The two actresses are fine, but the company behind them is something extraordinary.

Zhao Liying was a little guilty, and felt that she was a little offended, and was about to come forward to apologize, so that things could be settled, but Mao Xiaotong pulled her back, and said insistently: "It's okay to apologize, then she scolds others , and apologize."

"Let me apologize, what are you guys!"

Fan Erbing felt that he had some status in the circle, and there were people behind him, so his attitude was even more domineering.

"Ding!"

The restaurant is on the second floor, and after the elevator arrives, the door opens again.
