(Thanks to the huge reward of "eating a bowl of noodles and reading novels", and also thanks to the "juhuuhkhuhu" classmates for their re-tip.) Your support is the motivation for my update, thank you! )

After the press conference, Stephen Zhao immediately arranged for Zhao Xiaogang, Ding Xiaofei, Wang Zefeng, and other employees of the company to produce the remaining episodes of "Never Expected".

The script is already complete, so Stephen Zhao hopes that they can make it within a week.

At the same time, Stephen Zhao began to seek cooperation with major video websites.

Buying and selling, one buys and one sells, whoever is a big name will have the upper hand, and whoever gets more benefits.

The same is true for buying and selling the copyright of online videos, video websites are usually big names, because they have mastered the channels for netizens, without them, online videos cannot be seen by netizens, and online videos have no value, so major websites occupy an absolutely strong position.

But there are exceptions, if the seller who makes online videos is popular and very popular with netizens, then the seller occupies an advantageous position, because the video website is not one, but many, which will inevitably lead to competition, and then the seller, the "fisherman", will profit.

Stephen Zhao's popularity is undoubted, although the major video websites are a little worried that Stephen Zhao will intervene in this industry for the first time and may encounter unadaptation, but after Stephen Zhao held a press conference with great fanfare, the major video websites immediately couldn't sit still.

Beijing, Doutu website headquarters.

Doutu website is the earliest and most influential online video platform in China, and is a leading brand in China's online video industry. The Doutu website was sincere in 2005 and was one of the first video websites to be launched in the world that year. In 2011, Doutu.com achieved an IPO in the United States and was successfully listed. Today, in 2014, the market value of Doutu has reached $2.5 billion, and the number of unique visitors has grown to 250 million per month.

Wang Wei is the head of the content department of Doutu.com, responsible for the content operation of videos, including the procurement of film and television dramas, micro-films, and online dramas.

In the conference room, Wang Wei convened a meeting of some senior executives to discuss the content of recent work.

Wang Wei first made a speech, and then suddenly asked: "Stephen Zhao filmed and produced a web series "Never Expected", and also sent us an invitation to cooperate, what do you think?" ”

A female executive replied: "I don't think we need to pay too much attention to it, although Stephen Zhao is a big writer and is very popular now, he is a newcomer in the online drama." ”

A male executive immediately retorted: "You said that Stephen Zhao is extremely popular, and you still said that you don't pay attention to it?" In my opinion, we should pay attention to it, at least after hearing that Stephen Zhao filmed an online drama, I was very curious and wanted to watch it. From the standpoint of men, we should all admit Stephen Zhao's influence, tens of millions of readers, this is not a joke. ”

"I agree with Liu Ha." Another male executive nodded in agreement, and then said: "With Stephen Zhao's current popularity, I believe that no matter which website gets the exclusive broadcast right, the popularity and attention during the broadcast will remain high." Moreover, we have forgotten one thing, Stephen Zhao is a great talent, and he can't be looked at with him as a newcomer, we have to kill mistakes rather than let go. ”

"Well said!" Wang Wei immediately applauded and admired, and then said to this Gao Guan: "Xiao Hu's words are deep in my heart, so let's leave this matter to Xiao Hu to handle it, and strive to get the exclusive copyright of this online drama." ”

"It's good." The executive surnamed Hu looked happy, and then asked: "In terms of price, what instructions does Mr. Wang have?" ”

Wang Wei thought for a while and said, "Watch the film first." ”

……

Visual.com headquarters, in the conference room of the content department.

SeeLe is the first video website in China to attach importance to video copyright,When other video sites have not noticed the importance of film and television dramas、Online dramas、Micro film copyright,SeeLe is unique,Far-reaching vision,Preemptively start when other video sites have not reacted,The copyrights of some popular film and television dramas have been bought at the price of cabbage。

When the copyright issue was put on the agenda, and the major video websites began to pay attention to copyright, they found that most of the copyright of film and television dramas was actually in the hands of Television.com.

In the end, Shile.com was very decisive as a second-hand dealer, and slaughtered the major video websites for a while, making a lot of money.

And after that, of course, the major video websites have learned to be obedient, one by one from the previous big pirates, and have become high-end and high-grade genuine supporters, and began to pat their chests and shout in favor of the genuine version and oppose piracy.

It can be said that on the road to supporting genuine versions, although Seele has done a bit unauthentic, it is a video website that has made the biggest contribution, and there is no one.

Forty-year-old Zhu Ming is the head of the content department of Seele.com, and the founder of Seele.com is an iron buddy.

On the afternoon of Stephen Zhao's press conference, Zhu Ming keenly noticed it, and then held a special meeting.

At the meeting, Zhu Ming gave a serious introduction to the situation, and then asked the opinions of his employees.

"Although I don't know the quality of this online drama, but in view of Stephen Zhao's current popularity, I think we should get the exclusive copyright. Even if we can't get the exclusive copyright, we have to get the exclusive broadcast right. One employee replied categorically.

"Mr. Zhu, I also think that we should send someone over to contact us in advance, we should be bound to win this online drama." Another employee agreed.

Other employees also began to express their opinions, without exception, all in support of the importance of this web series.

"Well, since everyone means this, then let's do it, we must get the exclusive copyright or exclusive broadcast right of this online drama." Zhu Ming said after the most reluctance.

In fact, Zhu Ming was a little surprised to see that all his employees were supportive, and he thought that someone would have a different opinion. As a result, Zhu Ming couldn't help but think: "It seems that I still underestimated Stephen Zhao's influence, so this online drama should be even more effective." ”

……

At the same time, in the content management departments of major video websites such as Kuyou.com, Crooked Network, PS.com, Qiyi.com, Sohu.com, etc., a scene similar to Doutu.com and Seele.com has occurred.

So, on the second day of the press conference, that is, the day before the film viewing meeting prepared by Stephen Zhao, Stephen Zhao received a series of requests to visit these video websites.

Watching the film, this is Stephen Zhao's imitation of the fact that the major theaters watched the film before the large-scale release of the movie.

Before a movie is released on a large scale, unless it is a super-branded film, all major theater operators have to sit down and watch the film to see what the quality of the movie is. If the quality of the film is good, the cinema operator will vigorously support the screening, increase the number of screenings or increase the number of screens; If the quality of the movie is not good, the theater company will reduce the number of screenings and the number of screens, and even some films will be rejected for release, and at the end they can only be dusted.

There is no doubt that watching the film will be the most final review of the film, and the success or failure is in one fell swoop.

Stephen Zhao imitated this set and decided to also give the online drama "Never Expected" a viewing party, so that people from major video websites can get together to watch the film first, and then consider whether to cooperate.

If it weren't for the great confidence in "Never Expected", Stephen Zhao would not have been able to do this.

Rao is like this, when he informed Zhao Xiaogang and others of this decision, Zhao Xiaogang and others were also startled, and then they became worried.

However, the viewing party will only start tomorrow, and the people from these video websites will visit them in person, which immediately made Zhao Xiaogang and others put their worries behind.

Zhao Xingchi couldn't have imagined that these people were in such a hurry.

Before the film was watched, these people couldn't wait, obviously not for the film, but completely for him. It is not so much that he hopes to obtain the copyright and exclusive broadcast rights of "Never Expected", but rather that he is optimistic about Stephen Zhao and his current fame.

It was not until this time that Stephen Zhao finally realized how influential his fame was, which was simply immeasurable!

Zhao Xingchi smiled at the visits of major video websites, but for the cooperation of the online drama "Never Expected", he resolutely said: "I'll talk about it after watching the film tomorrow." ”

Although the people from the video website feel that Stephen Zhao is a little self-proclaiming, he has come and can't back down. And seeing that other video websites are also here, this shows that they are all optimistic about this online drama, and the heroes see the same thing, so they can't back down, but they are more determined to cooperate with Stephen Zhao.

On the third day after the press conference, Stephen Zhao organized a viewing party within Xingchen Media Company, which was attended by executives from the content departments of major video websites.

If it's a TV series, there may be more people watching the movie.

After all, online dramas are online dramas, and it is difficult to appear on TV stations, and Stephen Zhao has never thought about this, so he did not send an invitation to any TV station for cooperation.

At this time, the second episode of "Never Expected" was also produced, and the two episodes were played together.

As the light in the conference room dimmed, the light of the video recorder turned on, and a pillar of pale blue light was immediately seen projecting onto the white canvas opposite.

"Never expected, never expected, never expected, never ......" The light and lively melody sounds, and the first thing that appears on the screen is a hilarious opening animation.

Big heads, small bodies, all staring at a dead fish eye, hands and feet kept shaking.

Zhao Xingchi and the others did not laugh, but looked at the people from the video website and observed their reactions.

Wang Dazhui played by Ding Xiaofei appeared on the screen, with an expressionless and dull face, emotionless dead fish eyes, and lewd bows, and then the voiceover appeared: "My name is Wang Dazhui, and I am acting in a low-budget martial arts drama......"

The visitors from the major websites did not laugh at first, some whispered that it was funny, and some whispered that it was boring.

However, when the swordsman played by Wang Zefeng appeared, he ran out without memorizing the lines, and then Wang Da Hammer held the glowing sword in his hand and said in surprise: "It turns out that I used a boxing ......", and everyone laughed all at once.
