Chapter 481: The action continues
Yes.
Xinghuo Film and Television will enter the video website.
After this news was reported by the media, the industry was obviously not convinced.
"At present, the share of video websites has almost been formed, is Xinghuo Film and Television a mine at home?"
"That's right, now the three video sites of Penguin, Panda, and Deer have occupied 70% of the market share. ”
"That's right, the video site burned money in the early stage, and now it's a little too late for Xinghuo Film and Television to enter. ”
......
The industry is indeed very puzzled.
Penguin, Panda, and Deer, the three video sites, spent a lot of money and burned a lot of real money to monopolize it.
Xinghuo Film and Television is currently developing well, but they want to smash a video website.
"Lin Chen, is this suddenly a mine at home?"
Luo Qing was preparing his own movie, but suddenly found that the news of the celebration banquet of "Nightclub" was also a flurry.
Luo Hai also nodded lightly: "Unless there is a mine at home, I really can't understand who gave him the courage?"
It's not just the Rocks brothers.
Everyone else said they didn't understand.
But at this time, a bomb broke out in the industry.
"Xinghuo Film and Television wholly acquired Tomato Video!"
This news also spread on the Internet in an instant.
The first reaction was disbelief.
Although Tomato Video has been encroached upon by penguins, pandas, and deer in the past two years, it still has a place.
Because in addition to these three video sites, there is only Tomato Video left.
But now it has been revealed that Tomato Video was wholly acquired by Xinghuo Film and Television.
This has to feel unbelievable.
Some think it's a smoke bomb, and of course, there are those who think it's impossible.
After all, the valuation of Tomato Video is not low now.
At this time, how could Xinghuo Film and Television be wholly acquired?
However, then they had a sore egg.
Because it was officially announced.
Tomato Video's official Weibo took the lead in posting a Weibo: "For the rest of your life, please advise!"
Later, Xinghuo Film and Television forwarded and wrote: "From now on, the good wind will send you to the blue sky with its strength." ”
This Weibo made netizens spray.
"Why do you feel so horrible?"
"Nima, editor, you come out. ”
"I'm laughing to death, Guan V, are you a coveted green?
......
The discussion was quite lively, and then 'Tomato Video' was also on the hot search list.
This is even more true for portals.
In any case, after Xinghuo Film and Television acquired Tomato Video, it was also a collision with the new pattern of video websites.
So, is this likely to change the landscape of video sites?
Nobody knows.
It's still up to the facts.
Of course, more people feel that it is useless for Xinghuo Film and Television to acquire Tomato Video.
Because, the pattern has been decided.
3 days later, Xinghuo Film and Television's acquisition of Tomato Video was officially signed, and a grand press conference was also held.
As the general manager, Yuan Ye was interviewed by reporters.
"We acquired Tomato Video to bring better videos to everyone. ”
Yuan Ye said with a smile: "At the same time, please pay attention to the dynamics, we will have a series of actions next." ”
And then, about what is the action?
On what to do next?
Yuan Ye is all up to the point.
In addition, the general manager of Tomato Video is still managed by Ye Jing, because there is no problem with her ability.
A large part of the reason why Tomato Video has been eaten away in market share before is because there are no good works.
Movies, TV series, etc. were all bought by the three major videos.
They don't have a mine at home.
The price war is completely unstoppable.
So what do you say?
It's different now.
It doesn't cost much at all.
Because Lin Chen can completely solve this matter alone.
Tomato Video doesn't need to worry about the work anymore.
So, do you say that Ye Jing is confident or not now?
That's pretty confident.
Later, Ye Jing also accepted an exclusive interview, she said: "Being able to be acquired by Xinghuo Film and Television is the best decision I have made, I have always admired and admired Lin Chen, and I also believe that Tomato Video will return as the king next." ”
......
Later, the media reports were also very exaggerated.
For the three video sites, they weren't that nervous.
For so many years, the money thrown is almost a bottomless pit, and you want to succeed with Lin Chen?
?
In the evening, Lin Chen, Ye Jing, and Yuan Ye had a meal together.
"The top priority is to increase traffic to Pomodoro Video. ”
Lin Chen smiled and asked Yuan Ye and Ye Jing, "Do you have any good ideas?"
Yuan Ye said: "The movies or TV series we will produce in the future will be exclusively licensed to Tomato Video, so that naturally there will be a part of the traffic, and at the same time, we will not eat alone, if there are other video websites that want to cooperate with us, then they will exchange their film sources." ”
"I think we can also produce our own web dramas. ”
Ye Jing said this, looked at Lin Chen and said with a smile: "Director Lin, you made a fortune in online dramas, do you still have a script in your hand? ”
"Yes, that's all the way. ”
Lin Chen said: "In this way, let's start with cultivating young directors. ”
"Cultivating young directors??"
Yuan Ye and Ye Jing were in a row.
"Yes, in fact, there are many talented young people who just lack an opportunity, and some people have said that if you give him a fulcrum, he will be able to lift the earth. ”
Lin Chen nodded lightly and said, "Then since this is the case, we will make this a fulcrum and support some newcomers." ”
Next, Lin Chen roughly talked about his thoughts.
This is actually a routine of the original plane.
I don't know if you still have an impression of the original "11 Degrees Youth Series Movies"?
At that time, this event was a series of new media short films directed by 11 young emerging directors, with themes involving romance, fantasy, suspense, time-travel, love, friendship, life, joy, anger, tragedy and other rich content, presenting the theme of "youth and struggle" from multiple angles.
Its "11 Degrees of Youth" series, which was dubbed "new media movie", has been quite a sensation since it was broadcast on video websites in August 2010.
By the way, this is how the original "Old Boy" micro-movie came out.
The other micro-films may not have caused great results, but they were quite good at the time.
Now, Lin Chen has no shortage of scripts, and he can play like this.
Two days later, Tomato Video posted an event: "Looking for 12 young directors to share big things!"
The activity is more sensational.
To put it simply, 'Do you feel like you don't have talent? Do you feel that your talent as a director is not valued by investors? Do you want to be a director of a movie?"
If you want.
Then submit your resume to apply.
Bring your creations with you at the same time.
The work can be uploaded on the Tomato video, which will open up a '12 degrees of youth' copyright, and all the entries will be displayed here.
At the same time, everyone doesn't need to worry about shady, because in the end, Lin Chen will choose who will pass.
The selected 12 directors will receive financial support from Xinghuo Film and Television, not only that, but also Lin Chen's guidance.
Is there a rare opportunity?
All of a sudden, the industry shook.
"Damn, this must be attended. ”
"I really didn't expect that there would be such a show. ”
"If nothing else, if you can get Lin Chen's guidance, then it would be great. ”
"I'm going to compete, and I'm sure I'm going to be a director. ”
......
Everyone was discussing.
Online discussions are in full swing, and the same is true offline.
In a rental house, a 35-year-old middle-aged man was also shocked when he looked at the news, he is now lacking a Bole, and now it seems that the opportunity has come.
So, the middle-aged man couldn't wait to start registering an account and then uploaded his work.
This work is a short film called "The Forgotten Man".
At the same time, in a studio, a young man is bored and lazy to take photos of models, although these models look good, but young people will not show respect slightly.
He felt like he was wasting his time every day.
But what if you don't waste it?
He would have liked to make a movie, but was it possible?
How can a movie cost millions of investments.
Where did he get all that money?
Just after the filming was over, someone suddenly sent it to him; The young man also looked at it, and then poured into a look of surprise.
God help me.
So, the young man also registered an account and uploaded one of his works at the same time.
This work is called "The Great Sage Is Dead".
......
On this day, many people with lofty ideals began to upload their works.
Not only some newcomers, but also some directors who were already well-known in online dramas and micro-movies also chose to join.
The funds are not attractive, what really attracts them is Lin Chen's guidance.
If there can be a script for Lin Chen.
So can you instantly become popular?
So, in such a situation, everyone has joined in one after another.
It was only at this time that everyone understood that this was probably the killer feature of Tomato Video.
Tomato Video HQ.
The person in charge of the technical department looked at the traffic and was happy.
In just one day, the traffic of tomatoes is even higher than in the past month.
The next traffic will be even larger.
But that's all for later.
Spark Film and Television.
Lin Chen called Yuan Ye over.
"Did I let you sign up for the director's contract?"
Lin Chen asked Yuan Ye: "There is an online drama that needs to be filmed next, but it doesn't need many capable directors, this online drama is best filmed by a young man, and at the same time, young people can practice their skills." ”
Yuan Ye frowned and said: "Mr. Lin, this new director plan we are going to work on soon is about to be launched, can't we dig up a few more stubborn directors at that time?"
"It's going to take a while. ”
Lin Chen said with a smile: "It will take me a few days to get Tomato Video on an online drama." ”
"A few days ???"
Yuan Yeyileng: "What kind of web drama is this going to film??"
"You read the script first, and then see if there is such a suitable person in our company??"
Lin Chen said and handed the script to Yuan Ye.
Yuan Ye also looked at it.
Lin Chen didn't bother Yuan Ye.
In Lin Chen's opinion, it is too simple to increase traffic on video websites.
Homemade dramas are one thing.
Self-made variety shows are one thing.
In these two aspects, Lin Chen has all kinds of trump cards in his hands, and even he doesn't need trump cards at all, just throw a few threes.
"Hahaha, this one is so funny. ”
Yuan Ye looked at it and suddenly laughed.
This is reversed.
It's a fucking hard brake.
However, Yuan Ye frowned slightly: "But Mr. Lin, will this be too undisciplined?"
"Self-made scripts are meant to make everyone relaxed, to make everyone relaxed, so what more bicycles do you need?"
Lin Chen shook his head slightly and said, "Let's talk about it first, who do you think is better to shoot this web drama?"
"I think Ding Bing can do it. ”
Yuan Ye thought for a while and said: "Ding Bing was shooting micro-movies before, and this time he also posted his own work and wanted to join the '12 Degrees of Youth' activity of Tomato Video." ”
"You call him here. ”
Lin Chen said: "I'll talk to him." ”
After a while, Ding Bing came.
Just now, Lin Chen had already read Ding Bing's resume.
Ding Bing also changed from a photographer to a director, so his grasp of the lens is very good, and a micro-film "Man Forty" shot before received rave reviews.
After joining Xinghuo Film and Television, Ding Bing has always wanted to direct movies independently, but unfortunately he has never encountered the opportunity.
"Look at this script. ”
Lin Chen threw the online drama to Ding Bing: "Can you shoot it?"
The boss was so direct, Ding Bing didn't say much, he just picked up the script and read it, and then he couldn't help laughing.
"Mr. Lin, did you write this script?"
Ding Bing raised his head and said with an idol-like look on his face.
Lin Chen nodded: "Yes, I heard Mr. Yuan say just now, you want to direct a movie independently, but I saw your shooting techniques, you are not good at long shots, and "Man Forty", as well as your previous "Woman Eighteen" are all wonderful in the early stage, but after 30 minutes, you can't grasp the plot, simply put, it's jumping." ”
Ding Bing couldn't help but sit up straight, this was Lin Chen carrying himself.
It's a rare opportunity.
So Ding Bing listened as if he was a primary school student.
"Don't be nervous, I'm just going to talk to you casually. ”
Looking at Ding Bing's restrained appearance, Lin Chen laughed: "Actually, your shooting technique is quite suitable for filming online dramas, this online drama is a happy online drama, Mr. Yuan recommended you to me, so let's do it, you can shoot online dramas with peace of mind this year, and next year, I will give you a big movie script, how about it?"
"Okay, okay, no problem. ”
Ding Bing said hurriedly, and said in a somewhat excited tone.
"Okay, let's go and prepare. ”
Lin Chen waved his hand and said.
"Huh?"
Ding Bing said: "Mr. Lin, this actor??"
"You can prepare the actors yourself, but once you've chosen, let me have an interview. ”
Lin Chen said indifferently: "How much money do you need, you can find Mr. Yuan and ask him to help you open a bill to go to finance, I only have one request for you, a week, to shoot the first few episodes, no problem." ”
"No problem. ”
Ding Bing said in a firm tone.
