Chapter 125: Rakuten Video
Rakuten video.
One of the video websites in the ancient period of the Dragon Kingdom, and Tenggua, Aigua, and Yougua belong to the same batch of websites.
At the beginning, Rakuten Video developed quite prosperously, and spent a lot of money to acquire a lot of film and television copyrights, but later, as the website's hematopoietic capacity became low, there were few high-quality new dramas produced, and a large number of users were lost.
So much so that the establishment of the Guapi Club, as an old-timer, is not eligible to participate.
Later, after the establishment of the Guapi Club, the film and television resources of the Dragon Kingdom were completely occupied by Sangua, and Rakuten Video became even more miserable.
In addition, the boss behind him is not good at running the company, and the money invested in the website is getting less and less year by year, Rakuten Video has no money to buy good dramas, and the website itself has not made any good dramas.
All this led to the decline of Rakuten Video, and in the end it could only hang there half-dead, and I didn't hear anything for many years.
Anyway, Zhang Yang hasn't been on this website for many years.
There have never been any film and television works on the website that are good to see out of the circle, and they have been obscure, but I didn't expect it to be shut down today.
What's going on? 】
Zhang Yang, who was surfing the Internet, saw this news and clicked in to read it carefully.
According to the news that broke on the Internet.
Originally, although Rakuten Video has not developed much, there are also several new dramas, and with its old-timer status, it has a certain status in the minds of Longguo netizens, and the website itself has a group of loyal fans.
These followers are not large, but they can still keep the site afloat.
However, Lotte Video Boss Jia's stall was too big, the company was not operating well, and there was a problem with the capital chain, not only did he not invest money in the website, but he even drew blood from the website, which lasted for several months.
Rakuten Video itself is half-dead, and it is all barely maintained by this little money.
As a result, the boss behind the phone is pumping more and more, and the website management is not good, the server often crashes, There is no good new drama for a long time, Users complained, and they were completely broken, and a large number of people ran away from home and went to other video sites.
Even, at that time, some users issued a proposal to ask Boss Jia to give Rakuten Video a way to live.
But Boss Jia didn't respond at all, and the entire group couldn't stand it, and Lotte Video, as one of the subsidiaries, must have a blood transfusion to protect the group.
So Boss Jia still goes his own way.
Rakuten Video is even more sluggish.
The website has not been maintained and updated for several months, users log in to Caton, and there is no new drama output.
In the end, with the collapse of the group behind it, Boss Jia declared bankruptcy, and Rakuten Video had no funds, no hematopoietic ability, and no new drama, so he had no choice but to announce an indefinite shutdown.
And when it was shut down, not even a few users expressed concern, or posted a few words of nostalgia, if it wasn't for the news that broke out, many people probably wouldn't know that this website was closed.
[I see. 】
After reading the news, Zhang Yang immediately understood what was going on.
He logged on to the Rakuten Video website again, but it could still be opened, but it was very stuck when he clicked on a video, and even when he looked at it, it would be completely stuck, so he had to close it.
The Rakuten video app on the mobile phone can't be opened at all, and clicking in is a letter of apology.
[I can't imagine that Rakuten Video has been doing it for so many years, and it was actually turned off today, it's really unexpected.] 】
[Lotte itself has users and qualifications, but it's just a lack of money, and there are no good works, Boss Jia really can't think about it, a good video site was sold like this, wouldn't it take off if I had such a video site? 】
Zhang Yang secretly sighed.
Suddenly, his heart moved.
[The main reason for Lotte's closure is that there is no money, no good works, and Guapi will control domestic film and television resources, so it can't develop. 】
[What if I win Rakuten Video?] 】
Thinking about it like this, Zhang Yang's heart was pounding.
He has no shortage of money, and there are also good film and television works, and what he lacks most now is actually a broadcast channel.
Traditional TV stations don't have to think about it, the state will not open it to private individuals, but video websites can have it!
What does Xuanyu want now, do music, do special effects, filming, training, actors, it can be said that a film and television work can be completed from the establishment of the project to the finished product, in extreme cases, it can even be done without the intervention of other companies, just from within Xuanyu!
However, Xuanyu is the only one that does not have the most important screening channel!
Without this link, there are only two ways for his works to be broadcast, either he can post them on the Internet for free, or he can only broadcast them through other video websites, not only to be cut off from others, but also to obey the arrangements of others.
But now with Rakuten Video shutting down, an opportunity to have your own playback channel is in front of you!
In this day and age, channels are king!
Whether it's a movie, a TV series, or any type of merchandise, it's the same!
When he was in "Covering the Sky", he wanted to run a movie theater by himself!
Now if he has a video website, if the website is powerful enough, if the number of users is enough, the movie can even be played from the website without going to offline theaters, and it is not impossible to simply play it from the website!
It's just that before, it was almost impossible for him to start a video website from scratch, because it couldn't develop at all and couldn't attract users.
The new website does not have old works to enrich the copyright library, and there are not enough new works on Xuan Entertainment alone, let alone sports, variety shows, and animation.
If you want to start from scratch, you can't see any hope at all without decades!
Even if you have initial results, if you want to go further, there is another behemoth in front of you - melon peels will be placed there!
Not to mention love, Teng, and You, just say that the watermelons that are cooperating well now will shoot!
They won't be willing to come up with a new opponent to compete with them!
Zhang Yang wants to start from scratch, but there are many difficulties!
But if you can win the Rakuten video, then you will have to start from scratch without this step, and the difficulty level will be reduced by half!
How could he not be moved?
Even one day, it is possible for Xuanyu to dominate the film and television industry of the Dragon Kingdom!
Thinking of this, Zhang Yang directly called the person in charge of the legal department over.
The director of the legal department is surnamed Luo, and his name is Luo Yong.
Luo Yong himself has his own law firm in the outside world, specializing in cases in the film and television industry, and is very powerful in Haihua and even in the whole Dragon Kingdom!
However, later Zhang Yang and Luo Yong had a deeper level of cooperation, and many contracts, actor contracts, and terms of distribution were handed over to his law firm.
Simply, Luo Yong's law firm gradually gave up other cases and focused on the business of Xuanyu.
Later, Luo Yong was even more resident in Xuanyu, and his law firm also left a few new lawyers to support the scene, and the entire team was merged into Xuanyu, receiving Zhang Yang's salary.
Zhang Yang was not stingy, in addition to having rewards and a fixed monthly salary every time he completed something, he also promised to give him 2% of Xuanyu's annual net income as a dividend this year.
Compared with the billions of income of Dragon and Snake last year, Luo Yong naturally agreed.
Therefore, now Luo Yong, including his entire law firm, almost completely belongs to Xuanyu.
