In March, after the Spring Festival, the entertainment industry was not calm.

Actor BJ was assassinated by her husband, and then her husband also committed suicide.

The two male protagonists of the action blockbuster "Special Identity" invested by the stars broke out in a scolding war.

The scolding war between the two sides also implicated many other artists in the circle, and the momentum was not small.

In terms of movies, "Sister Peach", which swept the Golden Horse and the Academy Awards last year, was released, but the box office was average.

The box office of the Hollywood blockbuster "Alien Battlefield" is heading towards 200 million.

Major companies also have their own movements, gearing up to prepare for the next May Day, Dragon Boat Festival, summer, National Day, and New Year competition.

Everything in Hantang Group is on the right track, basically there is no need for Tang An to worry too much, it is enough to control the decision-making in the general direction.

He lived in seclusion and was always busy writing scripts.

But something has happened to Tudou recently, and he has to come forward.

Wang Wei, CEO of Tudou, established Tixian Digital Technology Co., Ltd., ready to enter the animation production industry.

However, COO Zhou You's plan to develop online dramas and online movies on a large scale was rejected by him.

Early in the morning, I flew from the capital to the magic capital, and Zhou You was already waiting, so I got off the plane and got on the bus directly.

"Tang Dong, Wang Wei is a typical literary and artistic youth, sometimes he wants to play a play, the Potato Film Festival can be held in Moganshan, I don't know what to think before, I actually want to enter the animation film industry, shouting to become the Pixar of China. ”

Zhou You shook his head again and again, and reported to Tang An in a hurry.

Animated films can sell money in China as well as the "Pleasant Goat" series, but the action of this series has been broadcast in TV dramas since 2005, accumulating four years of popularity, and the first movie was only produced in 2009.

This series is the only one that has succeeded, and the movie version of "Rainbow Cat and Blue Rabbit" was miserable last year.

Tang An was not too excited, Wang Wei was such a person, Wen Qing.

He used to plan to open a winery and make wine, so he read a lot of books on the subject and studied how to make wine, and soon gave up.

Later, he felt pity that Fuzhou's reborn lacquerware, which he had seen since childhood, gradually disappeared, and wanted to open a lacquerware studio and be a traditional craftsman, but soon found that he was not good at handcrafting.

There are a lot of ideas, and when I see the flooding of carp in the country, I will start ocean transportation.

Tang An asked, "Does he want to make animated films or anime?"

"It's supposed to be an animated movie, and he's aiming for Pixar. ”

Zhou You replied, and said anxiously, "It's nothing to make cartoons, after all, you can catch the teenage user group, but animated movies don't help the video website business, he is completely in the opposite direction!"

Tang An motioned for him to feel at ease, "Okay, I'll talk to him." ”

It didn't take long to come to the Modu Free Trade Zone, Zhangjiang High-tech Park, where Tudou's headquarters is located.

Han and Tang literature is also in the park, and it is still a neighbor.

Zhou You led Tang An and his party into the company, and along the way, employees kept throwing curious glances here, obviously recognizing the company's major shareholder.

When he came to the CEO's office, Zhou You knocked on the door for Tang An and went in.

"Tang Dong is here. Wang Wei was obviously not surprised by Tang An's arrival.

"You guys go out, I'll talk to Mr. Wang. Tang An nodded to Zhou You and Xiao He.

They closed the door and went out, and Tang An and Wang Wei were left in a huge office.

Tang An sat down on the sofa and said with a smile, "Mr. Wang knows I'm coming?"

Wang Wei poured Tang An a cup of tea and smiled, "Mr. Zhou has been arguing with me for a few days recently, and I guessed it if I didn't come to the company this morning." ”

Tang An didn't talk nonsense and went straight to the point.

"Mr. Wang, have you already thought about the matter of the animation film company?"

Wang Wei did not answer, but asked, "Is Dong Tang inquiring about the company's development as a major shareholder of the company?"

"No, friend, the identity of a colleague. ”

Wang Weizheng said, "I want to be an extreme individual. ”

Tang An was stunned, and then understood.

No wonder it's an animated movie, not a movie.

Wang Wei is still very pursuing, he wants to do what others haven't done yet, and he can't do it to the extreme in film and television dramas, but domestic animated films are still blank.

It's no wonder that he opened an animation production company after he left Tudou, invested 70 million to shoot "Little Door God", and served as the director himself.

In the final analysis, he is still a young man, and he does things with enthusiasm.

Tang An shook his head and asked, "So Mr. Wang doesn't do online dramas because Ai Qiyi has already produced the online drama "Online Love" in front, and invited Aoi K, a well-known girlfriend of Nippon, which was a great success, do you want to go your own way, instead of following others?"

Wang Wei said quite confidently, "There is a shortage of Hollywood-level animated films in China. ”

Tang An asked rhetorically, "So what? Not to mention how long it takes you to reach that level, what are the benefits for potatoes, and how much traffic and money can it bring?"

"Ai Qiyi has shifted part of its focus to self-made dramas, and Sohu has already started to prepare two online dramas, and when other websites attract a lot of traffic with one online drama after another, what does Tudou rely on?

Tang An is now more and more disappointed in Wang Wei, such a person is not suitable for managing a large company at all, and he opened his mouth again and again.

"Renren has acquired 56.com, Suning is already in contact with PPTV, Ah Li Baba is negotiating the acquisition with several shareholders of Youku, and Tengxun has just injected 500 million into Tengxun Video again!"

"All video websites have big moves, but Mr. Wang, you are now here to build an animation film company that has nothing to do with video websites, and vetoed the proposal of online movies and online dramas?"

......

A series of questions made Wang Weileng stunned.

Originally, he founded Tudou as a simple platform where everyone could upload their own works and show the power of individuals.

As he himself said, he wants to be the ultimate individual.

But now potatoes have slowly become a brand, and it is not the individual that is valued, but the whole of potatoes, which is a "boring" and "contradictory" thing for Wang Wei.

Tang An looked at him, for the sake of the development of potatoes, he couldn't be soft-hearted.

"Mr. Wang, I will immediately convene a general meeting of shareholders as a major shareholder, and before that, I hope you can consider selling your shares. ”

After saying that, he didn't care about his reaction and left the office.

For other shareholders, Tang An is completely sure.

Those shareholders invest in potatoes for profit, and anyone with a little discerning knows how to choose.

A well-made animated film has an investment of more than fifty or sixty million, without any audience base, and it is too risky.

Video sites are already burning money, not to mention that if they want to invest in the film industry, why don't shareholders go to other companies.

Two days later, Wang Wei finally sold 10% of his shares in Tudou to Hantang Media for $72 million.

So far, Hantang Media has controlled 34.7% of Tudou's shares, and its voting rights have exceeded 30%, and it has relatively controlled the second largest video website in China.

Zhou You officially served as the CEO of Tudou.com, and Tang An only asked about the specific handover, and he didn't attend the press conference, so he handed it over to them.

I stayed in the magic capital for one more day, went to Han and Tang literature, and talked with Wu Wen about wireless operation, full copyright development, and film and television development in cooperation with Han and Tang and Tudou.

Now that the potatoes are done, it's time to reorganize the company, its studios, and the company.

Tudou's animation company still has to do it, not only animated movies, but also anime.

There are so many singularities, how many users can be brought to Tudou by super-popular adaptations of animation, film and television dramas, and the IP value of Singularity can be greatly increased.

And Sohu's "Dick Silk Man" is about to start production, and the era of online dramas and Internet universities is coming.

Later, Aiqiyi was the first to pay attention to this part, 15 years when it broke out in full swing, the whole network 650 Internet University, iQiyi 622 online, in the next few years, has maintained a proportion of about 90%, Aiqiyi is one of the three major video websites by relying on online dramas and Internet University.
