"Starting this year, we should release at least two Marvel movies a year, and there should be a certain correlation between each movie, and "The Avengers" is an important ......connection that all superheroes see," Wu Tian said.

It is rare to come to the United States, and Wu Tian has to make some plans for the next development of Zhongtian Film and Television.

However, in general, the development framework of Zhongtian Film and Television has already been formulated, and Wu Tian just emphasized one side again and added some details.

"In addition to Marvel, MGM will continue to develop new projects, and if there is a good script, it must be filmed, even if it is not profitable." Wu Tian said, "And CBS is doing a good job, so I won't say much, besides, the online video website is about to be done, right?" ”

Qi Bing and Chen Lili glanced at each other and said with a smile: "Lili's side has already set up a website, and the final test is underway." The key is the copyright issue, now we have only obtained the copyright of some old films, and they are all works of some small companies, and only a few other large companies have agreed to sell us the online rights of some old films with small investments, and new films and famous films cannot be obtained at all. ”

"Why aren't those companies willing to sell online copyrights?" Chang Le asked suspiciously.

"Hehe, Lele, the United States here attaches great importance to copyright, mainly because the copyright of these films can make money." Qi Bing said with a smile, "Even those old films, occasionally there will be some small movie theaters that will be played as midnight films, and they can receive a certain amount of copyright royalties." There are also those companies that often have their own online movie download stations, and viewers can charge for every time they download it. So. Let's open our online video article. It's going to affect their income......"

"The copyright management of the United States is so strict?" Chang Le sighed. "Fortunately, our domestic piracy is very serious, otherwise Tianle Network is afraid that there will be no movie resources if it is built......"

"Hehe, but the problem is that the video network on our side has no resources......" Qi Bing smiled bitterly.

"Don't worry, the resources will be there." Wu Tian smiled, "The first step is to upload all MGM's own resources, as well as other film copyrights that we have gotten." Get your website up and running first. As long as we accumulate a certain user base, we are not afraid that they will not sell the copyright to us. ”

"Actually, I discussed another plan with Lily, and I don't know if it will work." Qi Bing said, "We don't buy out the copyright, we only provide a platform for those copyright owners to authorize us, and the audience's on-demand revenue is shared by us and the copyright owner......"

Wu Tian tapped his fingers on the armrest of the sofa and said, "Yes, this idea is feasible!" Well. Arrange for someone to do research and figure out the most suitable way to share. Well...... On the dividing. We can ask for a little less, or even completely free, the key is to get the copyright authorization first, accumulate enough users, and in the future, the website will make money, and you can use advertising revenue......"

*************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************** *************

In the Internet era, the first factor that determines whether you can make money or not is your user base!

Therefore, whether it is QQ, or the next game, or even video websites and music websites, as well as security software under construction, Wu Tian's plan is all free! The purpose of free is naturally to attract more users, as long as you have a large enough user base, are you afraid that you won't be able to make money?

However, that is in China, in good foreign countries, although the free tricks are equally easy to use, but after all, they do not conform to the laws of the entire market, such as online movies, it is necessary to pay attention to copyright fees.

"In addition, we can also shoot some online dramas by ourselves and broadcast them exclusively on the website to attract the continuous attention of netizens......," Wu Tian said.

A few years later, many domestic video websites have launched self-made online dramas, sketch dramas with just a few minutes of episodes, with funny and satirical current affairs as the main content, and the shooting cost is pitiful, but it is very attractive to the younger generation of netizens, which can be said to play a great role in improving the viscosity of website customers. Of course, Wu Tian will not let go of this great plan, and the development plan of Tianle Network includes the plan of launching its own online drama.

As for whether the United States can accept this model, it still has to be tested and observed - Lao Mi's concept of TV series is almost the same as that of movies, and even the production quality of other TV dramas is far more high-end than most domestic movies, and even the investment cost of an episode of TV series is much higher than that of most domestic movies!

Therefore, whether the shoddy online drama model can be accepted by netizens in the United States, Wu Tian really has no score in his heart.

But this is not a problem, if the ultra-short web series is not popular, Wu Tian doesn't mind investing in some normal American drama programs, seven days a week, then directly start filming seven films, one a day in turn, I don't believe it will not attract audiences!

Free, resource-rich, exclusive resources...... These labels appeared at the same time, and Wu Tian believed that the fourth module of Zhongtian Film and Television could be completely successful!

"Well, the website can cooperate with CBS and give the exclusive online broadcast rights of CBS programs to our website, which should be able to attract some audiences......," Qi Bing nodded, "As for the website shooting itself, is it too high for some investment?" ”

"Hehe, it depends on what you film, if it's a sitcom, the actors are also looking for some newcomers, two or three hundred thousand dollars per episode should be enough, and it can even be compressed!" Wu Tian smiled, "Small production." The number of productions and the deadline have been extended. The effect is definitely good! ”

"According to the pattern of a soap opera...... Chen Lili laughed. But I'm afraid that won't attract many young people. ”

Soap operas belong to a special branch of American drama history, which retired from the stage of history after the eighties, and generally broadcast five episodes a week during the day, and its structure has remained almost unchanged for half a century - usually Mondays are presented and reproduced; Each episode is a juxtaposition of several narrative lines, leading from a suspenseful climax during the week, ending on Friday with at least one crisis point in the plot line. If one dilemma is solved, then another dilemma must be created. Most of its target audience are housewives, and the advertisements on the show sell soap......

This kind of drama is crudely made. There are very few exterior locations, so naturally the cost is low.

"Hehe, as long as the program is attractive and can bring audiences to the website, soap operas will be soap operas......" Wu Tian said with a smile.

"Xiaotian, do you think we can make some soap operas on Rakuten as well?" Chang Le listened to it and said.

"I'm afraid it won't work." Wu Tian smiled bitterly, "Don't forget the existence of the General Bureau......"

*************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************** *************

It's rare to come to the United States, and Wu Tian naturally has to take Changle around.

What's more, Chang Le's current identity is the future boss, and Chen Lili naturally has to invite her to Tianli Investment to "inspect".

"Don't look at the town. But not far from that side is the famous Silicon Valley ......," Wu Tian introduced to Chang Le with a smile in the car. "Tianli Investment settled here, and the goal is naturally to take a fancy to the countless wealth seeds in Silicon Valley......"

"Hehe, the seeds of new wealth that can be created now are not just Silicon Valley." Chen Lili said with a smile, "According to our statistics, the proportion of new rich people in Silicon Valley has dropped sharply in recent years compared with previous years. Part of the reason for this is that some large companies are eyeing those newcomers, and once they find a project with growth value, they will often merge and acquire them first, and part of the reason is that with the advent of the good information age, many people have started to use the Internet to start a business, and there is no need to concentrate on Silicon Valley to find opportunities......"

Wu Tian nodded approvingly, Chen Lili's understanding is very professional, which shows that her eyes are not only limited to Silicon Valley, but also to the whole of North America, and even the world, this is the strategic position of the CEO of a large investment company, only with a broader vision, can we find more opportunities.

"Well, you have a correct understanding, you should pay more attention to those small companies in the future, especially those students on college campuses, maybe a small website they create can develop into a wealth empire in the future......"

"Of course I do...... By the way, I just invested in a small website not long ago, and I feel that it has a good chance of developing into a behemoth. Chen Lili said with a smile.

"Oh? What website? Wu Tian asked casually.

"YOUTUBE, A VIDEO-SHARING SITE." Chen Lili said with a smile.

"What?" Wu Tian exclaimed.

*************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************** *************

Wu Tian's words just now, in fact, the purpose is to make Chen Lili pay more attention to small websites, such as Facebook, YOUTUBE, these future giants, but I don't want Chen Lili to have caught a big fish?

"Don't worry, their website model is different from ours." CHEN LILI SAID WITH A SMILE, "THE MAIN FUNCTION OF YOUTUBE IS TO ALLOW USERS TO UPLOAD AND SHARE VIDEOS THEY SHOOT, AND AFTER POSTING THEM ON THE INTERNET, THEY CAN BE SEEN BY MORE PEOPLE, AND THEY ARE NOT USED TO BROADCAST MOVIES AND TV SERIES ONLINE, AND THEY WILL NOT CONFLICT WITH OUR WEBSITE." ”

Wu Tian knew that he was out of shape, but fortunately, Chen Lili misunderstood what he meant, so it was just right, and he didn't bother to explain.

"Well, sharing a short video clip of yourself shooting? This is good. Wu Tian smiled, "By the way, Lele, Tianle can also build a sub-channel to allow viewers to share videos." ”

"Okay, I'll take a look at their website later, let's imitate it, hehe." Chang Le smiled.

For the imitation of the popular websites of the United States, domestic IT people have never been embarrassed, whether it is Sanshi.com, Fox.com These portals are imitating Yahoo, or imitating Google's Qiandu, or imitating ebay's Taobao at the beginning, or purely plagiarizing ICQ's QQ, all of which have grown up in imitation.

Therefore, Chang Le's imitation behavior, Wu Tian fully agrees.

HOWEVER, WU TIAN ALSO KNOWS VERY WELL THAT IMITATING YOUTUBE IS NOT AN EASY THING, AND THE REASON IS STILL THE PROBLEM OF COPYRIGHT AWARENESS!

BACK THEN, TUDOU AND YOUKU WERE IMITATING YOUTUBE, BUT THE RESULT THEY GOT WAS NOT THAT THEY UPLOADED A LARGE NUMBER OF SELFIE VIDEOS ON THE INTERNET, BUT THAT THEY UPLOADED A LARGE NUMBER OF PIRATED MOVIES AND TELEVISION ON THE INTERNET! It's just that some people have turned out the rare resources uploaded after transcribing videotapes and VCDs from many years ago!

Therefore, the two major video networks in Wu Tian's memory were almost reduced to online film and television broadcasting websites in the end, rather than video sharing websites!

But this is not the point, the point is that Tianli Investment has seized another cash cow, the fast-growing cash cow that increased the value of the website to $1.6 billion in only one and a half years!
