"Miss Nishinomiya came at the right time. ”

Hearing Atletico Madrid's words, Nishinomiya Haomei suddenly showed joy on her face, and nodded deeply as if she was bowing, "Please rest assured, I will definitely work hard!"

Although it is only the host of the overseas version, it is enough as a starting pedal, and I can't help but be surprised by this island girl.

As a former photo idol and a real-life prototype of a tiger puppet, Nishinomiya Haomei has a somewhat popular foundation on the island side, and as long as it is operated properly, it should be able to develop.

Lao Liu looked at her with a smile, "Are you relieved now?"

The latter subconsciously wanted to return the hug of love as a thanksgiving, but when his hand stretched out, he realized that there was someone on the other side, so he had to withdraw his arms and nod his head in gratitude.

After getting along with each other for several days, Lao Liu naturally understood what she wanted to do, threw a small look at the other party, turned his head to look at Atletico Madrid, and asked curiously, "By the way, how are you going to change?"

"You'll know when the time comes," Atletico said.

Lao Liu pursed his lips, stood up and put on a posture of turning his head to leave, "If you don't say it, don't say it, who is rare?"

Atletico Madrid followed and got up and made a send-off gesture directly to the two: "Then that's it, it's good to go!"

Immediately afterwards, he said to Xigong Haomei, who was hesitating to say goodbye and leave, "Miss Xigong, if nothing else, the staff of the Bee Video Island Country Branch will contact you in the afternoon." Next, there will be a month of closed training, so please prepare to join the group in advance. ”

When the girl heard this, she immediately nodded vigorously: "Okay, I know, I'll go back and prepare now!"

After speaking, he turned his head to look at Liu Haiyang.

The latter said that he would not do it, and he wanted to help with resources, and he still wanted to find some benefits for Haomei sauce, if he just entered the group training, he would be beaten with chickens and eggs.

Thinking of this, he asked suspiciously, "What are you doing in such a hurry? Can't you postpone it for two days?"

After glancing at that guy, Atletico Madrid understood in his heart, and said lightly: "As far as I know, your idol seems to be in the hospital again, and this time it is likely that he will not survive." ”

"Huh?" Liu Haiyang was stunned for a moment, and then reacted, the so-called "idol" of the other party should refer to Hugh Hefner, the founder of "Playboy". This old man is 91 years old this year, and he has a history of stroke, and he has a hard time standing up, if he hadn't had money in his pocket to buy his life, he would have died a long time ago.

However, he only envied and imitated Hefner's chic and uninhibited, but did not regard him as an idol, so he immediately retorted: "Cut, it doesn't matter to me whether the old man dies or not?"

After saying this, he turned his head to look at Xigong and ordered, "Okay, Haomei-chan, you go back and rest first, and I'll talk to him for a while." ”

As a fairly successful entrepreneur, Lao Liu has long been accustomed to the life of lack of sleep and coffee top, but the young female companion next to her is not, at first she can still hold on, but now her wish is fulfilled and her heart is let go, and her spirit is becoming more and more tired.

The latter also knew that he was in a bad state, and hurriedly bowed to the two of them and apologized, "Ah, what a faux pas! ”

Seeing her leave the suite with small steps, Lao Liu walked to the side of the sofa and sat down on stilts, raised his chin at Atletico Madrid, and said casually: "Thank you, buddy!"

Atletico squinted at him, "That's how you thank you?"

"Then what do you want? You have what I have, you also have what I don't have, anyway, you can't look down on those three melons and two dates, so I simply send my sincere thanks. ”

"I received your 'thank you'," Atletico said in a long voice, "I think we should recruit some more hosts, Zhao Ke, Zyra, and Ayneman all seem to be good." ”

The girls corresponding to these names have all appeared as Liu Haiyang's female companions. And that's just a few of the many people he has been with, and the number of those who say they broke up after dawn is even greater.

However, Atletico still underestimated Liu Haiyang's cheekiness, only to see the latter think about it seriously, nodded and said: "It's pretty good, can our old Liu's vision of seeing people be worse?"

"Aren't you afraid that they will meet and fight?"

Lao Liu leaned back on the sofa and put on a scoundrel face, "Just fight, what does it matter to me? I and them are already in the past, and they have nothing to do with each other." ”

"You know?," Atletico glanced at someone, "please be careful in the future, don't bring anyone to me, you don't embarrass me!"

"I can't help it," Lao Liu spread his hands, "This kind of thing shouldn't trouble you, but if you ask Lingling for help, you will always be scolded." Why don't you help me talk to her?"

Atletico Madrid also spread their hands, "I'm also busy, I can't help it." ”

"Forget it," Liu Haiyang nodded, and then pulled the topic away from himself, "By the way, why is this revision so urgent?"

"Don't be in a hurry, no, now there are similar programs appearing, the bonus amount is getting higher and higher, and the first-mover advantage of 'eight and a half' is gradually lost, so it is natural to be in a hurry. We didn't have a real person question officer before, but now we find that the audience prefers the real person to host the temporary cramming, and the time will naturally seem a little tight. ”

"Okay, okay, I know!" Lao Liu Man waved his hand reluctantly, "I'll let Haomei-chan report to your program team tomorrow, so it's okay, right?"

Seeing the reluctance on his face, Atletico suggested with a smile: "If you feel too tired and troublesome, you can also change to other programs, and you can pick and choose the self-made online comprehensive on the bee video." ”

"Wow!" Hearing this, Liu Haiyang waved his hand in disgust, "Your variety show, forget it!"

Bee Video's network comprehensive has obvious internal and external differences, the mainland version is generally small in scale and emphasizes positive energy, but the overseas version is full of regional characteristics, parkour and food in France, jungle and dance in Africa, square dance and acrobatics in India, large-scale dark cuisine in Thailand, and naturally two-dimensional and whole-person groups in island countries. It's okay that the second dimension is good, the whole show is not a fun existence, and for the sake of fairness, the host usually has to accompany the guests to be rectified.

Lao Liu is usually busy with business, and occasionally watches such programs on the plane and on the toilet to pass the time. Although it looks like Coke, I don't want Haomi-chan to suffer too.

"It's 'half past eight tonight', the Japanese version is the Japanese version, I believe that Haomi-chan will be able to do it. ”

Seeing his decisive refusal, Atletico Madrid sighed secretly in his heart, originally he wanted to fool this pair to participate in the show, the female host and the male guest will be the guest, the picture will be very interesting, but now the plan is in vain.

Putting this little depression aside, he reminded with a smile: "This is not necessarily, the new version still has quite high requirements for the host." It's not enough to simply read the questions with a stick, but also pay attention to the speed of speech, tone, expression, accent, etc., and at the same time, the interaction with the live audience can't be put down, it is because there are so many requirements that special training is needed. And even if the training is completed, it needs to be competed for, and the column group is the producer's responsibility system, so even I can't interfere. ”

As long as you are willing to spend money, users will rush over like sharks that smell fishy. ”

This is obviously a layman's statement, in the past, only Swan Video was doing it, as long as more bonuses were given and more promotions, popularity could rise. Now that there are many imitations to divert popularity and audience enthusiasm, if you want to regain the glory and go to the next level, the difficulty will increase by several orders of magnitude.

However, Atletico Madrid did not point this out to his face, but said in line with the other party's words: "That's right, the problem is that our funds are limited after all, and it is impossible to increase the bonus indefinitely." can only start from the quality of the program and find ways to improve the effect of throwing money. ”

Hearing him say this, Lao Liu smiled, "That's right! This is the normal style of bee videos, you suddenly stop picking the door, I'm a little unaccustomed to it." ”

This sounds a bit mean, but it is telling the truth.

As a loyal believer in the "Long Tail Theory", Bee Video has always lacked enthusiasm for buying hot dramas with heavy money, and would rather wholesale a bunch of second- and third-tier TV dramas and popular drama replay rights to win by volume, rather than be willing to spend hundreds of millions to buy solo dramas. Although this move effectively reduced the procurement cost, it also pushed the audience chasing the head drama to competitors, resulting in various data significantly lagging behind the top three in the first line, and they could only stage a battle for the palace with Souki Video.

This is true for film and television dramas, and the same is true for their attitude towards UGC videos and online variety shows, preferring to cooperate with YouTube to introduce foreign broadcasters' works, or even invest in overseas teams to produce programs, rather than get involved in the increasingly fierce money-burning competition of first-line websites.

Looking at Atletico Madrid opposite, Liu Haiyang thought for a while and said: "If I'm not mistaken, the official figure of the 'decisive battle at half past eight' is that a total of 40 million yuan in bonuses will be issued in 40 days after it was launched, and you are now recruiting foreign hosts, this is planning to transfer in accordance with the usual strategy and go abroad to open up a new front?"

"What's the problem? Answering variety shows were originally imported from abroad, and now it's just right to resell them abroad?"

This kind of show began at the end of the last century, when ITV launched "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?" in 1998, which achieved an astonishing 19 million viewers in the early days. Later, it was introduced by ABC TV in the United States, and at its peak it earned more than $1 billion a year, and even the 2009 Oscar Best Picture "Slumdog Millionaire" can be seen as a spin-off of this kind of program.

To this day, although the peak of this series is not there, and the two imitators of "Happy Dictionary" and "Lucky 52" have stopped broadcasting, the audience base of that year still exists. "Half past Eight Tonight" and other similar online variety shows use network technology to bring ordinary audiences back, and then quickly became popular.

Lao Liu smacked his lips, "I always feel that it's not that simple, there must be some ulterior conspiracy." ”

Atletico Madrid did not rush to defend themselves, but complained about the other party: "What is the conspiracy, what we are going to do, it is clearly written in the additional agreement." When you say that, it only shows that you yourself are too lazy to read our agreement. ”

"Look at what that is doing?" Lao Liu waved his hand grinningly, "Even if I don't read that kind of thing, I know what is written, and it can be summed up in four sentences: the right is our company, the obligation is your user, the use means acceptance, and if you don't accept it, please leave!"

"Uh-huh," Atletico shrugged, "you'd better take a look, be careful that I'm sold and don't know yet." ”

Silicon Valley's software and network companies are annoyed by lawyers, so they simply maximize users' obligations and minimize their rights in user agreements, so as not to become defendants because of improper rights and responsibilities. With the rise of mainland IT companies, they have also inherited this tradition of effectively reducing the operating costs of enterprises. It has even gone even further, setting up a lot of seemingly overbearing content in the user agreement, such as "the company has the right to clean up dormant accounts", "account and role data belong to the company, and users only have the right to use it, and trading and transfer are prohibited", "the user agreement is updated at any time, and it will take effect without further notice when it is announced".

Some time ago, Za Lang Weibo updated the user agreement, blatantly offering upgraded overlord clauses such as "the user agrees to irrevocably authorize the platform as the exclusive publishing platform for Weibo content", "the user authorizes the Weibo platform to pursue the infringement by any legal means and obtain all compensation payments, and promises to actively provide documents and related assistance", which immediately aroused public anger.

The first in the industry to take the initiative to make mistakes and offend users, bee scarves and other competitors naturally happy to fall into the well, and by the way, to win over the angry users. However, Za Lang Weibo reacted quickly, and quickly swallowed back the previous cruel words, and released a new version with a more gentle tone. At the same time, a wave of self-media focused on the additional agreement of Bee's "decisive battle at half past eight", pointing out that the latter also had insufficient notification of the rules for the collection and use of users' personal information and the purpose of use, trying to cause trouble.

At that time, Swan Live responded that he had already made a reminder, saying that the additional protocol was not checked by default, the important part was highlighted in red, and the collected user information was desensitized to ensure safe storage of Yunyun.

Although the response was timely, this wave of agreement turmoil still had an impact on "half past eight", coupled with the emergence of a large number of competitors, and finally lost its previous high popularity.

It's just obvious that Liu Haiyang probably hasn't read the content of the additional agreement, let alone the habit of paying attention to hot news on the Internet, but he doesn't know anything about it.

After finding the additional agreement and looking at it, Lao Liu finally found something strange.

After reading all the red letters, he looked up at Atletico Madrid, "Spend tens of millions of dollars to buy voice data, and you have enough hard work." This wave of overseas expansion is also to collect foreign language data?"

"There's no way, voice recognition is already very expensive," Atletico Madrid said indifferently, "Collecting voice data with the help of this program is already the most cost-effective way." ”

"Why are you so troublesome, can't you collect it directly through honey chat," Lao Liu closed his mouth as he spoke, "Okay, it's really only like this." ”

Based on cost considerations, the voice/video calls of chat software are all P2P direct connection, and the server will be transferred unless the direct connection fails.
