China Entertainment: Return to 2007

Chapter 44 The era of charging begins

"Xu Ge, great, the price of "Wanwan" will definitely increase like crazy now!"

Outside the University of Posts and Telecommunications, inside a small hotel,

Wumeng danced excitedly.

After being depressed for a long time, he finally saw hope. He was happy for Xu Ge from the bottom of his heart.

"Don't be too happy too soon," Xu Ge said calmly, sitting beside the wooden bed and staring at the computer: "There is no businessman or traitor. None of these people are stupid. Although "Chen Qianqian" is popular, "Wan Wan" is not serious. It’s not easy to sell tens of millions of rights to a TV series.”

Although "Wan Wan" has a guest appearance from the main creator of "Chen Qianqian" and "Chen Qianqian" is a hit, it has definitely benefited a lot.
But the concept of web drama has not yet appeared.
Of course, the first one to eat crabs may make a lot of money.

But it is also possible to fail and become a pioneer for the king...

Xu Ge estimated,

Even if he successfully holds a movie viewing party,
He tried his best to induce all parties to fight overtly and covertly.

But there is no precedent,
by normal means,

"Wan Wan" will most likely sell around 500 million.

For Wan Wan whose cost is only 36, it can sell for 500 million and earn more than 13 times. It is definitely a big win!
But for Xu Ge, who is in desperate need of tens of millions of dollars,

This is an unacceptable defeat!

So, anyway,

He also wants to turn the tide!
"Old Wu, you can go to class tomorrow with peace of mind. I will be in charge of watching the movie."

There will be too many people tomorrow,

Wumeng has already shown his face in front of Bing Xin and his wife.

Although the contract has been signed and the overall situation has been decided,

But just in case, Xu Ge decided to go alone.

"Okay, Lao Xu, be careful. I'm waiting for your good news."

Patting Xu Ge's shoulder, Wumeng looked expectant.

Xu Ge has been planning for a long time and has a vast layout.

Now as long as we cross this threshold,
It will soar into the sky in no time!
And he, as Xu Ge's most trusted brother, can also follow his lead and rise to the top!
………………

The next morning, the Peninsula Hotel was the venue for the movie screening.

"Haha, Mr. Gu, long time no see. Are you here too?"

Wang Hui, President of Tudou.

As the first industry pioneer to establish a video website in Daxia, Wang Wei is extremely famous.
Tudou has a first-mover advantage;

There is a faint momentum to become the number one video website in Daxia.
Gu Yong will always regard it as a life and death enemy.

"Mr. Wang, you are here from the magic capital. I am half a host anyway. How could I not come?"

Gu Yong shook hands with Wang Hui politely and said with a smile: "I heard that Mr. Wang is newly married to a beautiful girl. I'm really sorry that I haven't had time to congratulate you."

"Haha, Mr. Gu is too polite. My wife is not worth mentioning. You praise her too much."

Although Youku started late, it has developed rapidly and is second only to Tudou in terms of scale and momentum. Wang Hui naturally does not dare to underestimate it.

The two of them greeted each other politely and walked into the venue hand in hand.

Xu Ge came up to him in time,
Another round of bragging.

There were already several big shots in the venue, all of whom were founders or executives of popular video websites.
Seeing the two big guys Wang Gu,

Everyone proactively came forward to say hello.

After another business exchange,

Xu Ge invited the two of them to sit down, and then, another heavyweight came in outside the venue.

The person who came was a middle-aged, thin man, followed by two assistants.

When he saw the person coming, Gu Yongjiang was the first to stand up and greeted him with a smile: "Mr. Zhang, why are you here too?"

Zhang Chaoyang, President of Sohu, as the Olympics approaches,

As an exclusive sponsor of the Olympic Games, he has now become the most famous Internet tycoon.

In particular, Gu Yongjiang was once the executive vice president of Sohu.

Seeing my old club,
He was very humble.

"Laogu is good, Youku is doing great, come to Sohu another day to give me some advice, that guy Gong Yu is always talking about you."

Zhang Chaoyang laughed, and it seemed that he was truly invited with great kindness.

Gu Yongjiang shook his head in shame: "Gong Yu's ability is no less than mine. Sohu Video has also developed rapidly in the past two years, and its momentum is by no means inferior to Youku.

It's me who should ask for advice. "

Tudou, Youku, Sohu,
Currently, they are the top three video websites in Daxia.

With the arrival of the three of them,

The remaining colleagues know what they are thinking.

Not surprisingly, "Wan Wan", a joke drama that is known as the originator of online dramas,

Basically, it will fall on these three companies.

"Dear bosses, thank you all for taking time out of your busy schedule to attend this screening of "Wan Wan".

On behalf of all the creators of "Wan Wan", I would like to express my most sincere gratitude to you all! "

clap clap clap!
"Wan Wan" is known as the originator of online dramas, and it also has a guest appearance from the creator of the newly popular "Chen Qianqian".
Xu Ge is indeed young and talented,
No matter what everyone thought in their hearts, on the surface they all applauded him.

"Dear bosses, before officially convening this movie viewing meeting,
I would like to ask everyone to look at a set of data. "

Standing on the stage, Xu Ge was confident. He pointed at the big screen behind him and said with a smile: "This is the "21st Statistical Report on the Development of the Internet in China" just released by the China Internet Network Information Center (CNNIC) in Beijing.

The report shows that as of the end of December 2007, the number of Internet users in my country had reached 12 million, just a hair away from the United States, which currently ranks first in the world, with 2.03 million Internet users.

At the same time, the number of broadband Internet users reached 1.96 million, ranking second in the world.

CNNIC also announced at the press conference that as of December 12, CN domain name registrations ranked second with an extremely high number of 26 million.

It will soon surpass the German .de domain name and become the world's largest country top-level domain name.

These three major breakthroughs have attracted worldwide attention, and experts predict that

Within the end of the year,

Daxia's three indicators are about to surpass Virtue and become the real number one in the world! "

Xu Ge was high-spirited and scolded Fang Qiu: "In this era when the Internet is about to sweep the world, whoever controls the Internet will control the economic artery!

As an indispensable and important part of the Internet, video websites are rising rapidly.
Who can occupy the most traffic and have the greatest say?
Whoever can go to market first will become the real overlord of the video website! "

Seeing that all the big guys in the audience were listening attentively, Xu Ge got all fired up: "If you want to go public, profit is the top priority!
Due to national conditions, today’s video websites are burning money!

Mr. Gu once said two years ago that video websites are a money-burning war. If you don’t have 1 million US dollars, don’t enter the market. I agree! "

“But burning money to buy traffic and grab customers is not a long-term solution after all.

In less than two years, the financial backers behind us will still see no profits.

I will eventually choose to wean! "

When Xu Ge pointed out the industry's pain points, Zhang Chaoyang couldn't help but slightly nodded in agreement.
On his left and right, General Gu Yong and Wang Hui were equally thoughtful.

“At present, because the consumption power of hundreds of millions of Internet users has not been truly valued by businesses, the advertising revenue of video websites is limited.
As for the movies and TV dramas on all video websites, due to rampant piracy and scattered traffic, they lack the same confidence as TV stations to negotiate with advertisers.

If you want to make money from it alone, it is far away. "

“So, the only way to break the situation is to launch a new profit model!”

At the end, Xu Getu said: "Just like Internet websites, the free era will eventually pass, and the paid era will be the real mainstream!"

""Wanwan" is the originator of online dramas, and I would like to use it as a guide.

Open the door to the charging era! "
