After obtaining the copyright authorization of LETV and reaching a cooperation with Sony Pictures, Rocket Video's long video business is finally on the fast track.

Today, Rocket Video, which has reached 70 million daily active users, has not only successfully completed the goal of 50 million daily active users promised to Tian Ming, president of Canxing Culture, but even exceeded it by a large margin.

Tian Ming was still a little worried that the influence of the rocket video was not enough, and now he has nothing to say.

Last year, he had an agreement with Zhang Yida that Rocket Video could reach 50 million daily active users when the program was broadcast, and this variety show would be broadcast exclusively by Rocket Video.

And he is justified in doing so. He knew that Zhonghe Group had invested so much money to start the long video business.

But Canxing Culture does not have the responsibility to play with the public, after all, in addition to Zhonghe, there are most other shareholders behind Canxing.

Now he also recognizes the energy of the Zhonghe Flow Empire, and has great expectations for the upcoming release of "Rocket Girls 101" on Rocket Video.

Doushi, Kuaishou, Station B, and Toutiao, which are short videos and graphic platforms under the control of Zhonghe Group, have brought a large amount of traffic exposure to this girl group selection variety show.

It's a red before it is broadcast!

On April 21, the online video platforms of Rocket Video in Chinese mainland, NoTV in Hong Kong, Sinel in Singapore, and UnifiTV in Malaysia conducted simultaneous live broadcasts.

101 overseas Chinese, Chinese, and Chinese girls from many countries and regions such as Wanwan, the mainland, Hong Kong, Thailand, Spain, and Australia made a collective appearance.

These girls have a bit of a large age span, and their birth dates range from 1990 ~ 2002, and they are considered to be post-90s and post-00s competing on the same stage.

There are also a variety of brokerage companies from them, and there are dozens of them.

Doushi, Kuaishou, and Station B also popped up at this time, showing that this variety show was being broadcast live, attracting users to the rocket video.

The rocket video also brushed up a bunch of barrages, and I don't know if I came to appreciate the talent or come to see the beauty.

After the end of the program, the Rocket Video Data Statistics Department reported that the program was broadcast first, bringing more than 10 million new registered users to Rocket Video.

On Doushi and Kuaishou, short videos about program editing are also spreading everywhere, and the influence of the program is expanding day by day.

......

"There are American dramas in the United States, British dramas in the United Kingdom, Korean dramas in South Korea, and Japanese dramas in Dongying.

I think we in China should build our Chinese opera into a brand that strides forward with the world. ”

A middle-aged man with shaved stubble talked eloquently in front of Zhang Yida.

His name is Cao Dun, he is a director and a major shareholder of Yanren Film and Television.

He has directed popular TV series such as "The Age of Naked Marriage" and "The Story of Sea Shepherds".

Zhang Yida smiled: "Director Cao, I love to hear what you say, the name "Chinese Opera" is good, and it sounds more comfortable. ”

Looking at Zhang Yida's useful expression, the slightly chubby young man on the side interjected: "I heard that Zhang always studied history, I guess he must love traditional culture." ”

This man's name is Liang Chao, and he is Cao Dun's partner and the producer of "The Twelve Hours of Chang'an".

Zhang Yida smiled faintly, "Mr. Liang guessed very accurately, I do like traditional culture." ”

Liang Chao waved his hand again and again, "Mr. Zhang, you call me Liang Chao, or Liang is fine, and Mr. Liang looks more outward!"

Liang Chao is in his thirties, and he has been in the entertainment industry for more than ten years, and his face is no longer ordinarily thick.

"Okay, I'll just call you Lao Liang. ”

Liang Chao is very happy, he can be called Lao Liang by the new richest man, and he can gain a little face when he goes out.

However, he didn't forget the more important things today, and when he saw that the fire was almost over, he began to say: "The drama "The Twelve Hours of Chang'an", according to our idea, is to restore the details, characters, costumes, and buildings of the Tang Dynasty as much as possible, so that everyone can appreciate the beauty of that culture and Rao self-confidence, bravery, justice, and persistence. ”

Liang Chao swept Zhang Yida's face seemingly inadvertently.

Judging from some of the information he knows, Zhang Yida should like historical dramas very much, otherwise he would not have reached a big cooperation with Lao Mouzi.

But Zhang Yida's face was as usual, whether he was interested or not, he couldn't read it from his face.

Cao Dun was also a little apprehensive, the TV series was originally filmed well, but who knew that the personnel earthquake on Youku had also affected the crew.

Zhang Yida's face was as usual, and after a while, he asked with a smile: "Wasn't "The Twelve Hours of Chang'an" sold to Youku?

Zhang Yida's sharp gaze seemed to see through everything, Liang Chao didn't dare to hide it, and as soon as he gritted his teeth, he revealed the truth of the matter.

Zhang Yida didn't expect such a big news, but he wasn't too surprised.

In the film and television industry, it is normal for a little financial scandal to occur.

"If such a big thing happens, if other investors don't come, just the two of you?"

Liang Chao smiled bitterly, "They have some intersection with Yang Weidong, and it is not very convenient for them to show up, so they have to let us come forward." ”

Zhang Yida looked pensive, the amount of information that Liang Chao just revealed was a bit large.

Yang Weidong is the president of Youku, the person who made Zhang Yida not have a good year, was investigated by Ahri, and found out the economic problems, the police have intervened, but the news has not been announced to the public.

Zhang Yida was thinking, Ahri's face should be very painful at this moment, right? Especially the legal department, which specially sent a lawyer's letter to Zhonghe.

After all, paper can't contain the fire, and when the matter is made public, Zhonghe must teach Ahri to be a good man.

Ahri demanded a refund, or else the lid would be lifted. ”

Afraid that Zhang Yida would misunderstand, Liang Chao explained: "This kind of thing is normal for the entertainment industry, and investors want to sell online copyrights at a high price, so they naturally have to have a good relationship with the real power figures of the video playback platform."

In fact, Lao Cao and I are completely unaware of this matter. ”

Cao Dun nodded, "Yes, we are all focused on the filming of the TV series, how can we have time to engage in these fancy actions?"

12.2 million episodes, a total of 60 episodes, this price is actually the normal market price.

"The Twelve Hours of Chang'an" has invested a total of 600 million, and the network copyright is only able to recover the cost.

These are all blank films, micro-shadows and Yang Weidong are in contact, and when they negotiate, we signed together, that's all. ”

Under the avalanche, not a single snowflake is innocent.

Zhang Yida didn't believe that these two people were completely involved, but none of this mattered, what mattered was Ahri's attitude.

Listening to the meaning of the two, Ahri doesn't seem to have any intention of expanding the incident, or the crew, producer, and investor of "The Twelve Hours of Chang'an" are not deeply involved.

Ahri just wants to recoup the high royalties he paid, and then that's the end of it.

Seeing Zhang Yida's heavy face, Liang Chao thought that he was afraid of getting dirty water, so he explained: "I don't know the specifics, but Yang Weidong's big problem should be in variety shows, "This! is Street Dance", "This! is Iron Armor" and so on. ”

Zhang Yida understood what he meant, it was nothing more than that there were problems on their side, and Ahri was willing to let them go, but the premise was to return the money.

"With more than 700 million copyright fees, a startup like ours can't afford to buy such a good thing. ”

Zhang Yida sighed, looking embarrassed. Things are good, and it would be better if they could be cheaper.

Liang Chao and Cao Dun glanced at each other, and the latter spoke: "We think 60 episodes is too long, and it can almost be edited to 55 episodes, so that the plot is more compact." ”

There are 60 million less in one breath, but Zhang Yida still feels that he is still not satisfied.

"Cut to 40 episodes, the story is short, the climax is repeated, and it is more enjoyable. ”

Liang Chao felt a little angry in his heart, and felt that Zhang Yida's appetite was too big, and he was going to cut off more than 200 million at once.

patiently explained a lot to Zhang Yida, introduced all aspects of the cost, and how exciting the TV series is, and has the opportunity to be a big hit.

He also vaguely revealed that Penguin was willing to pay 600 million to take away the exclusive copyright of the network.

Zhang Yida didn't eat this set, and got up to see off the guests.

Liang Chao and Cao Dun are in a hurry, and Youku's return will inevitably affect the evaluation of this drama on other platforms.

The two of them were just not satisfied with the price given by iQiyi and Penguin, so they found Zhang Yida.

"550 million, Mr. Zhang, this is our last concession!"

Zhang Yida glanced at Liang Chao lightly, and two words popped out of the corners of his mouth: "Deal!"
