Winning the new financial era

Chapter 347 Variety Show
"It's been 5 months, and there are only 1000 million daily active users. What are you doing?"

In the Toutiao high-level conference room, Zhang Ming coldly swept the executives around.

Wherever they looked, everyone lowered their heads.

"Mr. Zhang, there is nothing we can do. Many female anchors and MCN organizations are willing to go to DouTV, because they give more money and make it more enjoyable."

Some executives boldly began to complain.

They are also very wronged in their hearts!This is an era of looking at money. If you don’t spend money, who will follow you?
"Besides female anchors, don't you know that you go to college to discover some beautiful girls?"

The Toutiao executive shook his head, "I have looked for it, but our 10 billion creation subsidy is not attractive enough at all.

DouTV is directly based on the number of likes and playbacks.Give out cash rewards.

We have some traffic promotion resources on our side, so we can't keep people. After a while, people will go to DouTV. "

Zhang Ming has a headache. Without good creative content, ordinary users cannot be retained. He also knows this.

But the headlines are not shaken by the rich and powerful!They have only raised 10 billion U.S. dollars, and they have also acquired Bilibili. The most important thing is money.

The most important thing is that DouTV was launched nearly a year earlier than their headline video.

The gap is really disappointing.

But Zhang Ming will not give up so easily, he said: "Is it possible to keep good creators as long as the creative subsidy is supplemented?"

"That's not necessarily the case, the most popular Internet celebrities on DouTV, Daigula K and Li Ge, have tens of millions of fans.

In contrast, the top influencers of our Toutiao videos rarely have millions of fans.

Therefore, for talented and ambitious people, our platform is not attractive enough. "

Some executives also retorted: "It took Douvision a year and a half to achieve the scale it is today.

I think we still have a chance to counterattack. As long as the number of users increases slowly and creative subsidies are in place, we will definitely be able to compete with Douvision! "

Zhang Ming thought for a moment, and said: "Everyone stick to it first, think of a way, and we must catch up with Doushi.

At least, not too far behind them.

After a while, Toutiao will open its D round of financing. After the financing is in place, we will compete with Douvision! "

……

While Douvision is integrating with Pinduoduo, its own work has not been left behind.

First, it spent a huge amount of money to win the naming rights of the first season of "Sing China" on Zhejiang Satellite TV, and then launched a series of cooperation with Happy Camp of Toilet Table.

"Authentic good video, authentic good voice, welcome to watch DouTV short video China New Singing Voice named by the leading short video brand Douwei..."

When Hua Shao spoke the impassioned advertisement with super fast speed, the audience in the audience and the audience in front of the TV were all surprised.

Where is my Jiaduobao?What the hell is this jitter?

The audience looked on with doubts.

A fair-looking, tall and thin boy came to the stage.

"Dang, walk in an empty street!"

As soon as the deep baritone spoke, the audience was shocked.

"Nice!"

Sitting on an electric chair with his back to the stage, Na Ying was the first to speak.

"The voice line is very good, with strong plasticity!"

Harlem Yu commented while shaking his head while listening with his eyes closed.

"I think it's more suitable for my team, so don't rob me!"

Wang Feng smiled and looked at the other three mentors.

As soon as the words fell, with a "pop", Jay Chou directly tapped the button next to the seat and turned around!

A flash of excitement flashed in Liu Yuning's eyes, he controlled his excitement, and continued to sing with passion.

The broadcast screen cut to the family waiting room, and the host excitedly said to a gray-haired old man: "Turn around, the first mentor has turned around!"

The old man didn't know what this "turn around" meant, and he kept staring at his grandson on the big screen.

Before the song was finished, the other three instructors also turned around and kept watching Liu Yuning singing on the stage.

At the end of the song, there was warm applause from the audience.

"Haha, I said he was a handsome guy, but you still don't believe me!"

Na Ying turned to look at the other three mentors.

"It's really handsome. When I was young, I was a little worse than him!" Yu Chengqing also joked humorously.

"Introduce yourself!" Wang Feng said, looking at Liu Yuning on the stage.

"Four mentors, audience, hello!"

Liu Yuning bowed and said, "My name is Liu Yuning, and I am from DD City, Liaoning Province."

Na Ying asked, "What occupation are you doing now?"

Liu Yuning said: "Anchor, sing live online!"

"What's the name of this song? Did you create it?" Jay Chou asked.

"It's called "Mountains Overwhelming Seas". It was created by myself and several other partners in the band."

"Original? What's the name of your band?" Wang Feng asked.

"Our band is called "Modern Brothers" and I'm the lead singer!"

Following the instructor's question, Liu Yuning began to talk about his life experience.

His father passed away when he was 4 years old, so he lived with his grandparents. Later, when his grandma passed away, he lived with his grandpa...

The bumpy life experience won the sympathy of the audience, and Na Ying shed two tears of emotion.

Then Liu Yuning began to tell his own music story.

I dreamed of being a singer when I was a child, but because of my poor family, I never received professional music training.

Before becoming a singer, he worked as a chef, as a waiter, distributed leaflets, and sang in bars and hot pot restaurants.

On cold winter nights on the street, this young man often sang live until late at night.

Even though his fate was so rough, he never gave up his music dream.

An indomitable and aspiring young man who does not bow to fate has been imprinted in the hearts of all audiences.

Then the four mentors tried their best to compete for this student, and the audience watched with gusto.

In an office in the backstage of Zhejiang Satellite TV, Zhang Yida chatted and laughed with a middle-aged man.

"Mr. Zhang, this young man is very good! All four mentors turned around for him!"

Zhang Yida thought to himself, isn't this arranged by you?

"President Tian, ​​from your professional point of view, do you think Liu Yuning is good?"

Tian Ming nodded, "According to my experience in TV stations and many years of program production, he is really good and very capable. He must be among the top three this year!"

"Then thank you Mr. Tian. It is the first time for us to recommend an artist to participate in the show. We are flattered by your high courtesy!"

Tian Ming waved his hand, "Where is it! Mr. Zhang will support our work a lot in the future!
I see on Tiktok that there are so many young people who can sing and dance, they can all come to participate in the programs produced by our Canxing banner! "

Zhang Yida nodded and continued watching the program without speaking.

The middle-aged man named Tian Ming next to him has a lot of background, and his positions are the CEO of Star Chinese Media and the president of Canxing Culture.

And Canxing Culture is the producer of "Singing China".

Star Chinese Media is the parent company of Canxing Culture. It has two powerful shareholders, one is the Chinese Culture Industry Investment Fund, and the other is News Corporation.

China Media Industry Investment Fund is a private equity fund, and the shareholders behind the scenes are Dongfang Huijin, CDB Capital, Shanghai Volkswagen, China Merchants and so on.

News Corporation is the world's top [-], in the hands of media tycoon Rupert Murdoch.

Canxing Culture can be regarded as the first production company of domestic variety shows. In addition to "The Voice of China", it also produced "China's Got Talent", "Dancing Out of My Life", "Outstanding Chinese", "King of Masked Singer"... ... and so on a series of excellent variety shows.

Zhang Yida remembered one thing. It seems that within two years Ahri and Penguin will be vying to buy shares in Canxing Culture, with a valuation of more than 200 billion.

The current valuation of Canxing Culture is only billions, and there is a certain room for return.

More importantly, investing in Canxing Culture can strengthen the cooperation between Douvision and them.

Zhang Yida's desire to expand into entertainment has never been extinguished, so naturally he will not let go of this good opportunity.

"Mr. Tian, ​​does Canxing Culture accept investment?"

Tian Ming glanced at Zhang Yida in surprise, and said with a smile, "Mr. Zhang, do you have a crush on our company?"

"Of course, Canxing Culture has a way of doing variety shows, I think DouTV can strengthen cooperation with you.

We use the Internet platform to help Canxing Culture do program promotion and contract artist promotion.

Canxing Culture helps grassroots artists on DouTV to go to the big screen and the big stage. "

Tian Ming adjusted his glasses, "Sounds great! However, this matter needs to be decided by President Li."

Zhang Yida knew who "Mr. Li" Tian Ming was talking about.

Li Ruigang, once served as the Deputy Secretary-General and Director of the General Office of Modu Mansion, half official and half businessman.

Now he is the chairman of China Media Industry Investment Fund, the vice chairman of Hong Kong TVB, and the chairman of the board of directors of Shaw Brothers Holdings Co., Ltd.

In the future, he will also take a stake in the world's largest brokerage company - CAA of the United States, and become a director of CAA.

I don't have much personal assets, because I have been working hard in state-owned enterprises and government units for the first half of my life.

Now the role is similar to that of Shen Beipeng, who has mastered a powerful fund. As a fund manager, he has great power and deserves the title of media tycoon.

"That's not a problem. If it's convenient for Mr. Li, I can just drop by the magic capital for a visit."

Tian Ming knew that Zhang Yida wanted to talk directly to Li Ruigang, so he didn't feel slighted.

Because the young man in front of him is the major shareholder and chairman of two listed companies with a market value of billions of dollars, and there are several well-known Internet companies under his umbrella.

Not long ago, there was a battle with Jack Ma.Don't underestimate each other because of their age.

"Okay, Mr. Zhang, I will definitely convey it to you properly!"

On the stage, the contestants had finished choosing their mentors, and Liu Yuning finally chose Jay Chou as his mentor.

Jay Chou also said that he wanted to create a song with Liu Yuning, which pushed the atmosphere of the scene to a climax.

Then an advertisement was inserted, and Hua Shao said: "Now let's pick up our mobile phones, download the Doushi APP, shoot and upload short videos, and cheer for the players you support!

There is even a chance to get Huimin Bicycle Free Riding Card, Pinduoduo Free Shopping Coupon...etc. A gift package worth [-] yuan! "
