Chapter 581 PPS big stage, come if you dare to bet!
"what!"

Zhou Yaoyao attempted to launch a sonic attack on her uncle.

"I don't care. I'm going to eat potato chips."

"Did you not brush your teeth this morning?" Lu Yuan interrupted in a plain and simple manner.

Zhou Yaoyao was stunned, her mouth half open, a trace of embarrassment flashed across her round face. She foolishly blew into her palm, sniffed it, and said affirmatively, "Swish it."

Lu Yuan lied: "It stinks."

"Uncle is so annoying, ahhh!!" She attacked with sonic waves again.

Lu Yuan picked his ears and pretended to flick the dust from between his nails toward her face.

"If you don't buy it, your mother specifically told you to buy it for you, and we'll both get beaten up."

Zhou Yaoyao widened her eyes, ignoring the possible earwax on her face, and said flatteringly: "Uncle, believe me, no matter how mom asks, I won't tell you."

"I said the same thing last time, and your father and I both got scolded."

"Last time." Zhou Yaoyao was offline for a few seconds. Seeing that her plan didn't work, she changed her strategy, hugged him and started to make big promises.

"Uncle, please buy it for me. Buy it for me now, and I will buy you a mansion when I grow up."

The voice was soft and cute, but Lu Yuan didn't buy it.

He squinted his eyes and said, "Thank you. This trick is fine for coaxing your mother. Your uncle has no shortage of mansions."

"No, I just want to eat potato chips." Zhou Yaoyao was so anxious that she squatted on the ground and acted like a short fat man.

Just now in the car, as she was driving along, the aroma of street snacks drifted in through the car window. It was so tempting that she almost cried with greed.

"No." No matter how she made a fuss, Lu Yuan only replied with two words.

Seeing that acting like a spoiled brat wasn’t working, Zhou Yaoyao stood up and threatened, “If you don’t buy it, I’ll complain to my aunt.”

Lu Yuan thought that this little girl was just itching for trouble: "Go ahead and sue, and see who your aunt believes."

Zhou Yaoyao puffed up her cheeks, making her face look even rounder. Her thick eyebrows stood up, and she rushed forward, shouting, "Aunt, uncle was staring at pretty sister on the road just now. Um."

Lu Yuan grabbed her collar, pulled her into his arms, and covered her mouth with his hand. This unfortunate child
He argued, "Don't your teacher tell you about traffic rules? What do you mean by 'look at the pretty girl'? I was waiting for her to cross the road. It's not what you think. Don't talk nonsense."

"Ah?" Zhou Yaoyao had a puzzled look on her face. "It's not the sidewalk. I mean, there's a beautiful girl at the entrance of the community bookstore. OK, I get it, auntie, uncle... um."

Lu Yuan was convinced: "Stop making noise, keep your voice down, buy, buy, buy everything."

"I want two packs now." Zhou Yaoyao tilted her head and raised the price.

"Go, go, go."

Lu Yuan was almost annoyed. What a sin! How could he raise such a thing after all the hard work?

I still didn’t buy enough exercise books for the summer vacation, so I’ll have to double the amount for the New Year, and arrange some interest classes for her, such as piano, taekwondo, painting, and calligraphy.
Zhou Yaoyao, you're done.

in the office.

Lu Yuan listened to Chen Zhixi talking about Pan Yuemin.

Pan Yuemin is ten years older than him and played Emperor Jing of Wu in the 94 version of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms".

When Lu Yuan just debuted, the other party was already famous, and very popular.

It was probably in 2006, which was the year when Pan Yuemin was at his most popular. Three dramas were broadcast at the same time, and each one achieved good results.

The highest single-episode viewership for the drama Moment in Peking, starring him and Zhao Wei, reached 12.92%. His subsequent dramas The Legend of White Snake and Red Dress Workshop also brought him a lot of attention.

"Da Pan is not a professional actor. Before going to university, he missed his studies due to filming, which resulted in him failing to meet the requirements of his academic subjects. He eventually passed the entrance exam to study film and television production at the Art Department of Beijing Normal University, but his early experience as an extra in the film industry laid a solid foundation for him."

Chen Zhixi introduced her good friend in detail, and she hoped that the company could sign him.

No one understands the company's potential better than she does.

She doesn’t know whether PPS can succeed or not, but in terms of content production, Yuanfang Media, which has a rich reserve of scripts, is definitely at the top level in the industry.

Lu Yuan scrolled through the messages on his phone.

During his visit to the crew of Border, he watched Pan Yuemin's performance. It was of medium level, characterized by relaxation and delicacy. Although she looked very friendly, she was not lacking in impact when she needed to explode.

"So he has some dirt on Dong Jie, but for the sake of his children and to try to win him back, he is unwilling to release it."

"Yes, he is a little bit in love."

Chen Zhixi continued, "Da Pan was wrongly accused in this matter. He actually doesn't have much ambition for his career and likes to play in his own world. I have known him for many years and I can vouch for his character."

"After the incident, many people attacked him online. He was planning to just stay depressed and live a day-to-day life. I couldn't stand it and scolded him severely."

"So what do you mean?" Lu Yuan put down his phone.

Chen Zhixi did not keep the secret and said frankly: "Our company is going to shoot a few web series next, so we need to change the pay model. Instead of looking for new actors, why not find Da Pan? His acting skills are much better than those of new graduates, and he is willing to accept this pay model."

Hearing this, Lu Yuan fell into deep thought, tapping the table with his index finger.

According to his judgment of the industry, as several video website platforms scramble for the copyrights of film and television dramas, the pay of TV actors will rise to an astonishing figure in the future.

It even forces investors to reduce the quality of film and television dramas by inflating production time and increasing running time in order to increase profits.

Therefore, faced with this possible situation, based on the existence of PPS, he will try to change the method of payment for his film remuneration.

He believes that compared to copyrighted dramas, shared-revenue dramas are the breakthrough for PPS.

A shared-revenue drama means that PPS does not pay for the drama in advance. The film and television company invests in the filming itself, and then broadcasts it on the platform after the film is completed. Ultimately, the company shares the money with the platform according to certain rules and proportions.

Film and television companies can also follow suit and not pay actors directly. Everyone shares the risk and gets dividends in proportion.

PPS is similar to a cinema chain, and film and television companies are simply content providers.

The advantage of this is that the platform does not need to spend a lot of money to purchase it. The stronger the actor's professional ability and appeal, or the more exciting the story is, the higher the audience payment rate will be, and the greater the profit of the film company will be.

The disadvantage is that the profit-sharing model means that you bear the risks yourself.

And the final share amount is limited by the size of the video network’s own pool, that is, the number of members and how many advertisers are willing to invest.

The number of members and whether users are willing to pay are uncertainties for all current video sites.

Because the current payment environment is not mature yet.

But Lu Yuan firmly believes that content is the foundation of video websites, good content is the lifeline of the website, and the audience is willing to pay for good works.

So he plans to use the company's high-quality scripts to cultivate PPS users' loyalty and payment habits.

The series include but are not limited to "My Love from the Star", "The Cliff", and "Eternal Love".
While injecting the revenue-sharing gene into PPS, it will also continuously push up the ceiling of revenue-sharing dramas, allowing other film and television content producers to see the infinite possibilities of the revenue-sharing market.

PPS is like a fish pond. The bigger the pond is and the more water it contains, the more fish it can raise.

The appeal to new directors is self-evident. If a work with a cost of 500 million yuan has a good story, it may earn tens of millions of yuan.

This model can even be replicated in areas such as online movies, online animations, and online variety shows.

The current primary goal of PPS is to expand the pool, set an example, and provide creators with a fair, transparent, and flexible profit-sharing system.

Several video websites on the market like to scramble for big-budget TV series with popular actors.

There are only two or three hit TV series a year, and compared to the entire market, the number actually purchased is extremely small.

China currently ranks first in the world in TV drama output, with over 17,000 episodes produced annually.

However, there are only about 8000 episodes of TV series that can be actually broadcast on TV every year.

This means that there are more than 8000 episodes that cannot be broadcast due to various reasons and will become garbage.

It is undeniable that a large part of these are low-quality copycat works, but a small part is due to the poor production team or other reasons.

PPS is like a gambling table. If the film producers are confident enough in their work and believe it can attract audiences to pay, they can take a gamble and get a share of the profits.

Maybe you can become rich overnight.

Lu Yuan asked: "So which drama did you pick for him?"
