Although Guangying Kuaibo's expansion in Asia has been very smooth and it has now entered the era of defending the world, this does not mean that Wu Yuan will relax on the domestic market.

Although the domestic video platform market is relatively poor in the world as a whole, and running out of money is the norm for major video platforms, this does not mean that they have to give up the domestic market.

For Internet companies, the number of users is the most important.

China is one of the most populous countries in the world and a major internet power, with hundreds of millions of Internet users.

Not only can we not give up this market, but we must also hold on to it tightly. It doesn't matter if we incur losses every year. As long as the number of users increases, the company's valuation will not be low, and we will have an advantage in financial capital operations.

"Of course we should pay attention to the domestic market." Chen Dewei nodded in agreement and said, "This year alone, we have 22 self-produced dramas, including 4 S-level self-produced dramas. We ensure that one drama can be launched every quarter."

"The platform's suspense theater and youth theater have also developed very well and have attracted a group of loyal fans."

"Especially the campus youth dramas on the Youth Theater. Our platform is now the number one in China. Not only have the previous youth campus dramas such as "A Love So Beautiful" and "A Love So Beautiful" led the new trend of domestic online dramas."

"After the premiere of My Hedgehog Girl in April this year, the official Douyin account received over 4 million likes and was on the top of multiple platforms' hot searches many times. The popularity value has been ranked first on the site's hot searches for many consecutive days, and it has also achieved very good results in Southeast Asia."

Talking about this, Wu Yuan was a little amused.

Previously, Guangying Kuaibo started to build various theaters according to his instructions. The first one built was the Misty Theater, which was also a project he personally supervised.

The effect is very good. Several online dramas from Misty Theater not only have good broadcast data in China, but also achieved good broadcast results in Southeast Asia and Japan, making great contributions to the overseas expansion of Chinese-language dramas.

What Wu Yuan didn't expect was that the youth theater that Guangying Kuaibo later planned and designed was the real killer.

He had no involvement in this youth theater, which was completely created by the Guangying Kuaibo platform itself. As a result, it took over several low-cost small web dramas that were originally supposed to appear on Youku and Penguin Video. After they were broadcast online, they not only created a campus youth storm in China, but also became extremely popular in Southeast Asia!

Several leading actors in the drama, including Hu Yitian, Lin Yi, Shen Yue and others, have become extremely popular in Southeast Asia and have become top stars in Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand. They have had to register an account on Instagram to interact specifically with overseas fans.

These people even received a lot of event notices in Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand. Once they arrived at the scene, they were blocked by local fans. The shopping malls and streets were packed with people. Their popularity was not much different from that of Korean superstars.

The online dramas and leading actors of the Misty Theater, which was personally produced by Wu Yuan, cannot achieve such influence at all.

It can only be said that without Wu Yuan's deliberate guidance, Guangying Kuaibo's mainland site actually took this path, which still surprised him.

"We have to pay more attention to the fairy-tale idol drama." Wu Yuan said with some emotion: "In recent years, the three major platforms have made efforts on this theme."

"Xianxia idol dramas are also quite popular in Asia. In addition, Guangying Times has a Xianxia movie universe, so we can actually explore this area in depth."

"Just like Marvel, in addition to its own movie universe, also has TV series such as SHIELD, Inhumans, and Daredevil to supplement the movie universe."

"We can also make some TV series to supplement the Xianxia universe. The specific details can be discussed with Guangying Times." "Soul Ferry can't be made, but we can make self-made dramas such as "Tales of Tang Dynasty" and "The Legend of Shushan"."

Wu Yuan briefly proposed an idea, and after thinking about it, Chen Dewei felt that it was not bad. Although Guangying Kuaibo is no longer a wholly-owned enterprise of Wu Yuan, it is still a sister company of Guangying Times. Strengthening cooperation with each other is definitely a good choice.

Moreover, the fairy-tale movie universe of Light and Shadow Era is really well done. Developing some TV series around this movie universe can also bring in a lot of fan traffic, which is a good thing for the platform.

Just like Marvel's "Loki", just by announcing the production and holding a production press conference, it attracted the attention of Marvel fans all over the world and the expectations were high.

If he invites Hu Ge to shoot a spin-off series of Lu Dongbin, the attention it will arouse in China, at least, will definitely be no less than that of "Rocky" in Europe and the United States.

"Okay, you arrange the details yourself. I'm just giving you a general direction." Wu Yuan patted his thigh, stood up, and was about to leave the company.

There is another company he didn't visit, but there is no need for him to go today, that is Guangying Times Cinemas.

In this period when everyone still has to take nucleic acid tests from time to time, major cinema chains across the country are naturally still in a gloomy mood. Although they have resumed work a long time ago, they may not be able to receive ten guests a day. There is really nothing to say, they can only hold on and get through this difficult period.

"By the way, this year's Venice Film Festival is about to begin." Wu Yuan, who was in a daze, suddenly remembered this when he got on the elevator and went downstairs.

Zhang Guorong's "A Touch of Glass" finally chose to participate in this year's Venice Film Festival and has been successfully shortlisted for the main competition unit.

今天是2020年8月28日，而今年的威尼斯电影节则是9月2日开幕，9月12日举行闭幕式，美国演员凯特·布兰切特担任主竞赛单元评审团主席。

Needless to say, Cate Blanchett, the jury president, is an internationally renowned big shot. From 2008 to 2016, she was nominated for the Best Actress at the Academy Awards three times and successfully won the award for the feature film "Blue Jasmine". Her label of "acting school" is widely recognized.

From 2018 to 2020, he served as the chairman of the jury of the main competition unit of the Cannes International Film Festival and the Venice International Film Festival, becoming the dual chairman of the world's three major international film festivals.

Her most famous role is, of course, the Elf Queen Galadriel in "The Lord of the Rings" series. By the way, she also played Hela in "Thor 3: Ragnarok".

Again, in this era, even the best actresses have to play supporting roles in superhero movies~
However, Cate Blanchett's acting skills are really impeccable, and she is qualified to be the president of the jury.

However, Wu Yuan is not familiar with this famous Hollywood actress, and he doesn’t know what her aesthetic taste is in selecting films. It is really uncertain whether Zhang Guorong can win the award this time!

In a few days, the film festival will open. This year's Venice Film Festival will be held in a combination of offline and online methods. Some invited and award-winning guests will participate in on-site interactions via video links.

Wu Yuan hasn't even asked Zhang Guorong whether the crew of "Glass Love" will be there in person or participate online.

Gotta ask! (End of this chapter)
