Chapter 550 Short Video Playback Platform

Xu Jin pondered for a while, manpower is indeed the biggest problem now.

Many projects can't be carried out, not because they don't have that time, but because they don't have the manpower at all, and the power of the individual is limited, so there is no energy to do too much.

Looking at it this way, after the Chinese New Year, the matter of recruiting people will be put back on the agenda.

Xu Jin said in a deep voice: "I will look for people here, and you will try to find them on your side, the recruitment of people has always been carried out, of course, I still hope to recruit some screenwriters and directors to come back." ”

No matter how you receive the script yourself, it can't compare to the script written by the company's own screenwriter, which is easier to control, easier to modify, and the cost of obtaining it is lower than you imagined.

The reason why he called Qin Kewen was because he took a fancy to Qin Kewen who graduated from the directing major.

For things like recruiting directors, Xu Jin has no connections, which doesn't mean that Qin Kewen doesn't.

The college he graduated from is the best network, and there are a large number of talents concentrated in it, and he is not a director professional who is studying.

This is Qin Kewen's biggest advantage, and it is also the reason why Xu Jin decided to recruit Qin Kewen into the team in the first place.

Qin Kewen thought for a while and said slowly: "Yes, I will help you pay attention to this aspect, in fact, the director is not as difficult to find as imagined, there are many students in Huaxia who apply for the director major every year."

But every graduation season, like a big wave rushing to the sand, not many students continue to stay in the directing major, one is that in fact, the country's talent gap in this area is not large, and even a little excessive.

The other is that directors are not something that ordinary people can play, and if you want to cultivate an excellent director, you have to use a lot of actual combat to gradually cultivate.

Not every director is like Director Feng and Director Zhao, and the director's first film can be a great success, and since then he has received a lot of investment and is unimpeded in the commercial field. ”

In terms of the scope of majors offered across the country, there are more than 2,000 students in the directing industry every year!

But how many TV series can Huaxia produce every year? How many can be released every year? How many films have been backlogged for several years?

A film, a movie is okay, but a TV series, from the start of filming to the end of shooting, the editing is completed, submitted for review, and then finalized, it will take eight or nine months at the earliest.

If a TV series filmed this year can be released next year, it will already be an extremely smooth situation.

It is often filmed this year, and then it is backlogged for two years, three years, or even longer before it can appear in the eyes of the audience.

And the film at this time is already a little out of place, not in line with the current hot spots, and the audience doesn't like to watch it.

The second is that don't watch film and television dramas are booming now, but people engaged in the film and television industry generally have low incomes.

Many students use the directing industry as a springboard, and after graduation, it is better to become an agent of a company or engage in derivative careers in other entertainment circles than to be a director.

Take Qin Kewen as an example, if he didn't have a deep love for the director's industry, he wouldn't have thought about picking it up again as an amateur director when he was working.

If it weren't for Qin Kewen's love and persistence, maybe now, he wouldn't be able to enter Xu Jin's team.

Qin Kewen mentioned the difficulties in the market to Xu Jin, the purpose is to let Xu Jin take his time, don't be too anxious, it is really not easy to find an excellent director.

Xu Jin thought for a while, and suddenly said: "It's difficult to find someone who is naturally excellent, so what if you cultivate talents?" It's hard to find a genius, and the little genius you cultivate is easier to find than a genius from the beginning, right? ”

Qin Kewen shook his head and smiled: "That's what you say, but how do you cultivate?" Every director is smashed out with a lot of money!

It's not that I'm laughing at you, if a director is trained, at least you have to shoot film and television dramas for him, but now film and television dramas often start with millions of investments, just to train a director, spend tens of millions of dollars, do you think investors will make such a loss-making transaction? ”

The reason why directors are difficult to train is because of the large investment in filming film and television dramas, and they all say that they are for training, so these film and television dramas are often smashing water and failing to produce results.

If there are no achievements, there will be no interest cycle, and those funds will be smashed down, and there will be no gain!

Xu Jin said: "If there is a platform in the industry that is specially built for directors, so that directors can shoot some short films, and then the audience will pay to watch them on demand, which can greatly save costs."

And actors who participate in the shooting of short films are also easy to find, you can find newcomers in the film and television academy, or some idol groups can transform to become actors, which can provide them with a lot of opportunities, and the trial and error rate can be increased. ”

Qin Kewen heard Xu Jin put it forward, and his subconscious reaction was impossible!

But when the words came to his lips, he thought about it carefully and felt that it was feasible.

Because Xu Jin mentioned that it was a short film, a short series!

Skits can be a great cost saving!

And there is also a profit cycle point, that is, to allow the audience to pay for on-demand viewing.

It's just that China's pirated dramas are flying sideways, and it is difficult to get the audience to pay to watch it, right?

"The idea you said is okay, but the TV station will not be able to make a platform for short dramas alone." Qin Kewen said regretfully.

Xu Jin's mind flashed, under the cultivation of the system, many of his thinking are very advanced, and he can feel the future development and changes, which is towards the Internet.

With the Internet, entertainment stars will have greater exposure than before, and the publicity channels are not limited to traditional print media, but online publicity.

Let's just say that this year's "Painted Skin" crew, in order to make the box office to a higher level, also divided a separate amount of funds to promote on the Internet.

"We don't need to rely on TV stations, we can rely on online platforms!"

Xu Jin said eloquently: "Now that the Internet is developed, the first short film I shot at that time was also uploaded to the online video playback platform first, giving people free viewing comments.

If we build such a platform on the Internet, specifically for people to watch film and television drama videos, and also gather some foreign film resources together, then it will attract people to watch. ”

Qin Kewen heard of such a model for the first time, and couldn't help but say: "Then how to make people pay to watch it?" ”

Xu Jin thought about it and put forward a not-so-new concept: "Member, recharge member!" ”

He said: "My original idea was to let them pay for on-demand if they like it, but this effect should not be as good as recharging members every month."

Pay a certain membership fee every month, so that the film and television dramas on the video platform can be watched for free! What do you think of this? ”

"Free?" Qin Kewen is one head and two big, first as a member, and then as a free, which is quite interesting to listen to.

But the question is, is there really anyone willing to pay for membership?

After opening a membership, the profit of short films and television dramas must only rely on membership income, so how to distribute the income?

If you really look into it, you will find a lot of difficulties!

Qin Kewen also put forward a point: "Now that the content of film and television dramas is launched, it must be reviewed, if our company really uses an online video playback platform, then who should review the content?" ”

The current content review is in the face of TV series stars and big screens, and there is really no so-called online video review.

Xu Jindao: "When the time comes, I will ask the relevant departments, if it is really built, the preliminary review will definitely only be able to rely on the platform to review."

But as a platform, we may not be able to know all the audit requirements and standards, so we can only say that we will do our best and really get it out, and see what the policy is? ”

Qin Kewen nodded subconsciously: "Okay." ”

As soon as the words came out, he was stunned, "Wait, Xu Jin, do you really want to build such a short video platform?" ”

The content they just started talking about was just because directors were hard to find and hard to cultivate.

Why do you feel like you've made a super powerful decision in just a few words?

【Ding Dong!】 To detect the ambition of the host, the routine superstar system hereby presents a standard manual for building platform templates! (Platform Beginner Template Included)】

Xu Jin's hand holding the mobile phone tightened slightly, his eyes looked at the golden manual floating in front of him, and said quietly:

"Isn't it said that it is difficult to train directors, one is that the training funds cannot be recovered, and the other is that the trial and error rate in the current market is extremely low, and I can't afford to gamble at all."

"But my team is just to dig out excellent scripts and strive to present more and more exciting stories to the public, in this case, it is necessary to establish a set of talent training mechanisms such as directors and screenwriters.

I think it's good to build such a profitable payment cycle. ”

Qin Kewen was speechless, he could hear from Xu Jin's tone full of determination!

He had a hunch that the decision made by Xu Jin seemed to be able to change the entire film and television drama industry!

If this platform can really be built, at least there will be more and more talents engaged in directing!

And on the other hand, because of the special nature of this platform, it is a platform dedicated to short dramas, and in Huaxia, all that can appear in the eyes of the public are long dramas, and there are no so-called short dramas!

If Xu Jin really succeeds, he may be able to create a new type of drama for the film and television industry!

Qin Kewen let out a long breath and said solemnly: "Xu Jin, I hope your idea can be realized, I wish you success!" ”

Xu Jin grinned, "Brother Qin, take it easy, it's as if I'm going to go to the battlefield and never look back, what I'm proposing now is just an idea that seems extremely feasible, the construction of a video platform on the Internet doesn't cost too much money, I will find someone to follow up on this matter." ”

He advised: "You guys, the director must pay attention to me, the project of "33 Days of Broken Love", I hope to be completed this year." ”

Qin Kewen patted his chest and promised: "Okay! As long as you really make up your mind to do it and invest a lot of money, this person, I can get you one next month! ”

Xu Jin coughed: "You take it easy, let's take our time about this investment, well, I'm taking my time to talk to you in detail......"

After hanging up the phone, Xu Jin walked into the room, closed his eyes, and sank into the system.

He was looking at the standard manual for building platform templates, and there was already a very complete set of rules and regulations on it, just like there was such a ready-made online video platform, which was used directly by Xu Jin!

This made Xu Jin even more curious about the routine system, this system could not have traveled from the future, or was it the product of some civilization and high technology?

The platform standards listed above are very clear and standardized, like textbooks.

Even Xu Jin, a layman who doesn't understand the operation of online video platforms at all, can understand it and will not be confused.

Originally, Xu Jin just had such an idea, but the system sent pillows when he was sleepy, and it was almost an opportunity to send it to the door in vain.

This made Xu Jin's heart a little nervous.

Do what you want!

The system has given him a set of ready-made templates, if he is still afraid to create it, it will be in vain God to give him such an all-round routine system.

Xu Jin went through the relevant talents in his impression, and a wry smile crossed his face, but he didn't find any of them.

It's not good to be in the entertainment industry, and everyone knows stars.

Alas, he was too difficult!

On the other side, the person in charge of Huayu TV suddenly called Xu Jin.

Xu Jin was a little strange, he had agreed with the TV station that if "Love Apartment" passed the review, it would be broadcast in the TV station's golden theater, and then he had no contact.

After all, "Love Apartment" didn't even edit it well at that time, and it was good to get a verbal agreement.

Xu Jin was also embarrassed to ask for more.

Called him this time, could it be that something happened?

With such a thought, Xu Jin picked up the phone.

The person in charge who called was surnamed Li, and he greeted Xu Jin with a smile, and personally inquired about the progress of "Love Apartment", and once again said that the TV station very much hopes to cooperate with Xu Jin.

If this film is submitted for review, the broadcast platform must consider Huayu Satellite TV, and it will definitely not let Xu Jin suffer a loss.

Xu Jin originally thought that something had happened when they called, but he didn't expect that they came over and wanted to work together, which Xu Jin never expected.

It was also the person in charge of Huayu TV who saw Xu Jin's appeal, and as soon as the latest results of "Painted Skin" came out, many people couldn't sit still.

The person in charge thought that he would call Xu Jin and the phone couldn't get through!

He didn't expect to be able to get through with a dozen.

This phone call, in addition to hoping to have in-depth cooperation with Xu Jin, also introduced Xu Jin to a person.

The person in charge said very simply: "I have a friend who has been looking for you, but the company that contacted you can't be contacted, so he came through my channel."

My friend plans to build a real-time communication platform on the Internet, to provide celebrities and many news media with a place to speak quickly, similar to Tieba, but it is more convenient and faster than Tieba, not in the form of individual posts. ”

Xu Jinqi said: "What is he looking for me to do?" ”

The person in charge pondered for a while: "It should be to talk to you about entering the house, if there is an influential star who is willing to settle in, this thing will be accepted more quickly." ”

Xu Jin said heartily: "Okay, you give me the phone, I will call him when I have time." ”
