The beta version of YouTube is scheduled to be launched in December, and it is planned to use the banner of "eliminating Shoyourself, the arrival of a new era of video sharing", with the "Firefly" Trailer Spoof Contest as the first wave of promotional activities to boost popularity, the event is divided into two groups, in addition to re-editing other films, there is also selfie video re-editing, once the event successfully attracts the public's attention, it will be a win-win publicity for "Firefly" and YouTube.

Of course, there will also be selfie and funny short film events such as "Happy Christmas", which can be participated in without complicated editing techniques, so as to motivate netizens to share their enthusiasm for filmmaking.

However, before that, there is still a lot of work to be done, the most important thing is to build a new company, fortunately the IT company that can start a garage business and a restaurant business is not so annoying, Wang Yang has asked Paul Emory and others in the private team to start acquiring a large number of domain names, including YouToBe, Facebook, etc., and has also started to sign partnerships with Chen Shijun, Chad Hurley and several others, some details have yet to be finalized, and several people have been writing code in a garage in Silicon Valley.

Evan Williams wasn't specifically involved in YouTube's improvements, and Blogger also had a lot of work on his side, and the reason why he got a 5% stake is simple: he and Blogger are an important part of the plan, an important part of some future integration giant.

Just as Sean Parker urged Mark Zuckerberg to drop out of Harvard University to continue The-Facebook's business and never close the door; Wang Yang told Evan Williams, Chen Shijun and others early on that they are not website business sellers, but want to do these things with infinite potential in the long run, make profits, go public, a big plan, if you really need money, then sell it! Anyway, the chairman is him, and he will not leave.

In fact, Wang Yang is more often to stabilize these people and work together, how can there be so many big plans, but it is not nothing.

Perhaps he does have some business talent in Silicon Valley, from the very beginning of the manual directory to the later news information, online auctions, online job search, online games, online travel and shopping and other one-stop services, Yahoo provides a variety of dazzling services, has been dreaming of an online entertainment empire, until 2001 Terry Semel became the CEO of Yahoo, this guy who has been the CEO of Warner Bros. for 24 years clearly put forward the future direction of Yahoo: to build a digital Disneyland.

A theme park that encompasses news, movies, music, sports, games, and more, Yahoo caters to any need of online consumers.

This is Yahoo's big plan, and it's Google's big plan. But Yahoo is always thankless, on the one hand, it was fully committed to building roller coasters, Ferris wheels and other park facilities, but did not think about how to sell tickets, at the beginning of Yahoo in addition to advertising revenue, there is no source of income worth mentioning, there is no problem, if the Internet bubble does not burst, the bubble bursting made the expansion of Yahoo, a strong foreign force, a large loss, the stock price fell from $250 in January 2000 to $11.38 in January 2002.

On the other hand, Yahoo's various services have rarely captured the real big demand, and tickets for paid services are still sold very little, but "feeding Google", which has led to the rapid growth and rise of this search service outsourcing company.

In 1999, Yahoo bought the online radio site Broadcast for $5.7 billion in stock, making one of its founders, Mark Cuban, a super-rich guy who bought the NBA's Dallas Mavericks for $280 million in 2000, in 2001, Yahoo launched FinanceVision, an online financial video site, with little success, and in the same year it launched Yahoo-Platinum, a heavyweight video serviceThe paid service offered users CBS Sports, ABC News, and National Geographic, only to end up with Yahoo-Platinum aborted because it didn't attract enough users.

Early on, Yahoo formed an alliance with Flame Films, Artisan-Pictures and TV Fox to make their movie trailers, interviews and other related content available online as a popular free service.

It has just stepped into the business of video sharing blog sites, why don't Terry Semele, Yang Zhiyuan and others vigorously develop video sharing? Shoyourself is beaten to the ground? In addition to the fact that the new era of video sharing has not yet arrived, perhaps this is another miscalculation by them, thinking that Google is not enough, and that sites such as Shoyourself and the upcoming YouTube have no profit potential.

However, these stories still tell Wang Yang something, the online theater of the paid video model will not work, and it will not work before the concept of "online video" does not break out, only when Shoyourself and YouTube change people's lifestyles and thinking concepts by sharing videos for free, and online video is completely hot, with smooth broadband speed, can we expand the online paid theater model under the banner of "providing the best quality and best picture quality service", movies, TV series, music MV...... It's a bit like it's only when a person has eaten enough that he starts to think about whether the dish is good or not.

So the plan is to take it step by step, after YouTube has achieved the success of free video sharing, and then launch an online theater plan to open up the market with the Flame Group as the main and the film and television libraries of allies such as Lionsgate and NBC. However, there is a problem here, the emergence of the online on-demand sales model will inevitably pose a threat to traditional film and music distributors, and I am afraid that it will be necessary to communicate with theater operators and DVD distributors at that time.

Google seems to have learned all the lessons of Yahoo, it is a search service, a variety of convenient search free services as a secondary, there is no unrealistic idea of selling tickets in the first place, this park is free to open! This move has attracted countless people to come to play, the Google-Adsense advertising system has realized the long-tail theory to maximize advertising costs, more clicks, more traffic, advertising costs are everything; as for when to sell tickets? Maybe it is the day when Google becomes the market hegemon.

What new websites have the potential of high users, Google will buy what, they have always wanted to buy Blogger as the main business of the blog service, Wang Yang did not agree; and Google's independent blog service has not developed, in order to avoid Blogger's bias towards Yahoo, which is still in full swing, and MSN, which is eyeing the tiger, and cannot refuse Blogger to use Google-Adsense, Google has to salivate and cooperate. If YouTube develops and explodes, Google will definitely pretend to be Santa Claus and launch a seemingly lucrative acquisition plan to devour.

Despite being one of Google's shareholders, Wang Yang will never agree, only one sentence: "Get out!"

His big plan is to create a paradise for sharing and interaction, Blogger, YouTube...... Maybe their profits are not the highest, but the users and traffic will be very high, these things will become things that people can't do without in their lives, just like moving things such as telephones and TVs into the network, and if the websites are done well and can hold their ground, they will naturally have big plans.

The launch of online pay-per-view theaters, the explosion of the vlog model, the launch of YouTube beta in December 2004, and the founding of YouTube...... The track of regression seems to be like this, Chen Shijun and others are programming in Silicon Valley, and the newly recruited artists are designing pages; Wang Yang is busy with his beloved movie editing while putting forward some functional ideas, and the editors who partner this time, whether Margaret or Lee Smith, can feel his dedication and passion, although there are many, many things, although he occasionally answers some phone calls, he is absolutely going all out.

On Thursday, Oct. 28, the sixth episode of "The Big Bang Theory" aired on time on NBC, and the next day, according to The Nielsen Ratings Report, it received 21.26 million viewers that night, 14/22, and after six episodes, its average audience was 20.85 million.

Such amazing ratings in the first month are naturally inseparable from extremely high quality, the third episode through the physics competition incident, Cen Yongkang's Freddy Lee and other CIT colleagues have appeared; Green Lantern's energy lantern bribes Sheldon to help with girls, full of jokes; in the fifth episode, Geek is king, Sheldon comforts Penny who has fallen out of love again, causing Penny to become addicted to online games; in the sixth episode, you can see the power of nerds, Howard and Raj use high-tech means to find out where the models of the "American Top Model" are...... Judging from the comments applauded by the audience, we know that the more it is broadcast, the more exciting it becomes.

On the other hand, because of the strong promotion of the NBC channel, NBC has no choice, because suddenly, it seems that there is only such a set of sitcoms left in the whole Taiwan. Tuesday's 9 p.m. animated comedy "Proud Dad" averaged only 7.3 million viewers, the fourth season of "Anatomy's Storm" plummeted again to an average of 6.9 million, Monday's "Will and Grace" also plummeted by more than 5 million from the previous season, leaving an average of about 10 million viewers, and worst of all, "Joey," which had been pinned on "high hopes," was a mess, and the "Friends" spin-off really failed, following "The Big Bang Theory" on Thursday Five episodes have been broadcast since then, starting with 18.55 million viewers in the first episode, 15.37 million in the second episode, 14.87 million in the third episode, 13.59 million in the fourth episode, and 12.83 million in the fifth episode...... An average of 15.04 million, 5.6/16 ratings! God knows how many grandparents gathered.

NBC, which pre-ordered the full season, is really speechless, and the evaluation of word-of-mouth is extremely stinky, and the ratings have fallen all the way without looking back, and it has to follow behind the 20.85 million ratings of "The Big Bang Theory"! According to this trend, how many episodes of "Joey" will fall below 10 million viewers? It seems that there will be no more than five episodes. Yet for this nasty report card, it's still NBC's second-best sitcom at the moment! If they could, they would really like The Big Bang Theory to run two episodes a week.

In the eyes of Bob Wright, chairman of NBC Television Group, Kevin Rayleigh, president of entertainment, and others, Fantastic Young is now the baby of real babies, the big name of big names, and whoever annoys Fantastic Young, they will be the first to let him go! The second season of "Prison Break", which averaged 22.6 million viewers, and "Desperate Housewives", which rose all the way to an average of 24.23 million viewers, are unknown game show results...... There is no way!

They don't cherish the magic of Yang, CBS, ABC, FOX must be the first to cheer and applaud, and then grab you to the death. The competition on TV screens is fierce, and the competition on movie theater screens is even more different from week to week, in the American version of "The Grudge" won the weekly championship on October 22-28 with a box office of 48.86 million in 3245 theaters, and at the same time harvested 40%/24% freshness and 57% audience like, the time came to Friday, October 29, the release date of "Soul Singer", "Rebirth", and "Chainsaw 2".

"Two tickets for SA2!" There was a not-so-long line at several ticket booths in the theater hall, and with the young couple's words, the white middle-aged female conductor collected a dozen dollars in bills and handed them two tickets. A young girl who walked up to the line held out three fingers: "Trouble three "SA2". The female conductor collected the money for the tickets, and the young girl and her two female friends laughed and talked and walked to buy popcorn and Coca-Cola to prepare for the entrance: "I'm really looking forward to the trailer what's ......", "Will there be a magical shot?", "I heard that he has a martial arts scene......"

"A piece of "Soul Singer". "I want two SA2 copies. "Give me four SA2 copies. ”…… The faces at the front of the line kept changing, and after giving a family of four 4 cartoons "Shark Story", there was a young couple who wanted to watch "SA2", but the ticket seller found that the tickets for this show were sold out: "There are only tickets for the screening at 9:50 tonight, do you want to?" The young couple couldn't help but sigh in annoyance, and many young people in the queue behind them were also suddenly noisy, tonight is not just about watching "SA2"! How can you miss the first trailer of "Firefly"! But now, we can't miss it all night! The young couple hurriedly replied, "Of course!"

The "SA2" screening hall in 3,235 theaters in North America is still some time before the movie starts to be screened, but the audience is already full, and even some young people who have bought tickets for the screening halls such as "The Grudge" and "The Soul Singer" have also mixed in to watch the advertising time, and they are all rushing to the first trailer of "Firefly"! I've been looking forward to it for too long, this sci-fi adventure masterpiece with a production budget of 200 million yuan, including Robert Downey Jr., Heath Ledger, Michael Pitt, Popular stars like Jessica Alba, as well as Daniel Wu and Alan Pegg...... The cast may have mixed reviews, but the most anticipated thing is that Marvel Young directs!

"The cowboy style of interstellar sci-fi is very novel, I just don't know if it will work. "It seems that there are a lot of oriental elements, and there are Chinese characters on the posters. "I really want to see a new sci-fi film, and I want to see it go from being born to becoming a classic like "S" and "ST". "It's 2004, and there should be a new science fiction classic in the interstellar adventure genre in our time!" ...... Young audiences everywhere are talking about it, and there are people who don't know about Miracle Yang?

Not only do they know Magic Young, but they also know the ins and outs of "Firefly" to varying degrees, some just think that "this is the science fiction film of Oscar Best Director and Amazing Director Wang Yang", and there are also "200 million investment, Magic Yang must be looking forward to it." And "Cowboy and Oriental combined, will the magic of Jan be finished?...... The more you know, the more die-hard fans she becomes, Evelyn and a few friends are one of them, at this time she is looking at the big screen that has not yet moved, and muttering nervously: "Amazing Jan, it must be exciting!"

Claire, a well-known blogger and film critic, is also one of them, and she feels her heart beating fast: "If you mess up, I'll be upset!" Many upright film critics are not happy, and Nancy Lino is not happy, she has argued with her classmates many times on the topic of "whether Wang Yang is commercially vulgarized", but she believes: "Absolutely not! "Firefly" is absolutely wonderful! From the first trailer, it can make them speechless!"

Is it just because of the embarrassment? Maybe, maybe it's because they don't want to see Wang Yang look downcast, they want to see the handsome guy standing on the Oscar stage talking and laughing.

There are also many people waiting to see an unknowable and ridiculous trailer from TV, Yahoo, Shoyourself, and other websites, and the worse it gets, the happier they are! For example, the Olsen sisters have been looking forward to Wang Yang's appearance for a long time, and film critics such as Jeffrey Westerhoff don't want to praise Wang Yang as if nothing happened when "Firefly" is released next year: "Amazing performance! Congratulations on the return!"

But not only audiences with different positions and mentalities pay attention to this trailer, but many crew members who participated in the filming and production of "Firefly" have also not seen what kind of clues will be revealed in this unprecedented interstellar adventure sci-fi movie such as western cowboy + oriental elements?

Megan Fox, who played a small supporting role, and Carré Cuko, an outsider, the two leading actors of "Girl Big Boss" are also in the "Saw 2" screening room; Natalie, who is free on the weekend, also took a large bucket of popcorn and sat down in her seat, holding a grain of popcorn and sending it to her mouth, muttering a sentence for each one: "KO "Star Wars Prequel 3", not KO "Star Wars Prequel 3", KO "Star Wars Prequel 3" ......"

"Shhhh......h
