At 11 a.m. on January 28, 2005, it was still very cold in Yanjing, but the Liangma River Hotel was particularly lively.

Today, Zhao Yang, Yan Danchen, Dong Xuan, as well as Qiao Zhenyu, Yan Qian and other actors who have acted in Fenghua dramas are here.

In addition to them, there is also a group of fans from Southeast Asia and Zhongdong.

These fans are lucky people from all over the world, and they are selected to travel to China for free for five days and meet idols.

This incident has sparked heated discussions in Southeast Asian countries, and many fans have tried their best to get the quota, and they are excited after getting the quota.

This kind of behavior of spoiling fans is actually normal after a few years.

Bae Yongjun later retired, but he would go to bend every year to hold fan meetings.

But at this time, it's a novelty.

Many people in domestic entertainment think that Fenghua is spending money indiscriminately and losing money to make money, but they don't dare to say it directly.

Director Li has an unusual face now, not only a bigwig in the TV drama industry, but also a bigwig in the film industry.

Qiao Zhenyu and Yan Qian are not Fenghua artists, but they both came over this time.

While Yan Danchen and the others were communicating with foreign fans, Li Shengyao was sitting in the office and talking to Wu Wenhui about his plans for the next year.

In addition to buying a building to build a cinema, co-producing dramas with Three David TV, TVB, and Pocun, as well as buying excellent copyrights.

Wu Wenhui has another idea.

"Boss, we can be like a starting point, to set up a film and television drama broadcast website, the same to recharge, to VIP."

is worthy of Wu Wenhui, and the brain melon seeds are easy to use.

Both Tudou and YouTube were established in 05, and if nothing else, Tudou founder Wang Wei has now returned to China and is preparing.

His initial capital is actually not much, that is, several million.

But no one could imagine that this website would be listed later, making Wang Wei a billionaire all of a sudden, and he would get divorced and share more than a billion.

Now is indeed a great opportunity to create a video website.

At this time, film and television dramas are generally uploaded to the Internet, but there is no regular website, which is very chaotic.

Netizens go to Internet cafes and directly look for the film and television dramas they want to watch in a "Film and Television" folder.

However, Li Shengyao doesn't know much about the technical essentials, "Can you find talents in this area?" ”

"Yes, several of my classmates at Tsinghua University have this ability."

Li Shengyao nodded, "Okay, let your classmates come over, let's create a video website, let's call it Fenghua." ”

Wu Wenhui nodded, very excited.

"But the VIP system you mentioned, don't do it for the time being, we have to spread the stall first, occupy the market, and then consider the establishment of a VIP system."

"So how do we stay afloat?"

"Looking for advertisers, we will definitely lose money in the early stage, but it doesn't matter, when we occupy the market, we will be able to make money then."

Li Shengyao lit the table, "I also have to arrange for someone to go to TVB and ATV to buy the exclusive broadcast rights of their TV series network, 100,000 yuan and ten TV series, try to reduce the price, don't worry about them not selling." ”

At this time, the potatoes and the oil pipes were not established.

You can't make a penny from the webcast of film and television dramas.

Li Shengyao gave 10,000 yuan for a drama, which is already good.

"Mainland film and television dramas are also going to be found, "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", "Iron Tooth Bronze Tooth Ji Xiaolan", "Kangxi Weifu Private Interview" These popular film and television dramas are all bought, and if you don't have enough money, you can take out a loan, we should be able to borrow hundreds of millions more."

"Remember, just buy the exclusive broadcast rights on the Internet."

In this way, these film and television dramas cannot be sold to Tudou Youku later.

Of course, some old oilers are not expected to sell, but it doesn't matter, you can buy as much as you want, and the more you buy, the more Fenghua will earn.

"I also have to buy the bend TV series, just like "Bao Qingtian" and "The Legend of the New White Lady" are more classic."

"I also have to buy a movie, the same is 10,000 yuan a piece, and I need the exclusive right to broadcast it on the mainland network."

Wu Wenhui nodded as he listened.

"Boss, it's still thoughtful."

He paused, looked out the window, thought for a while and asked, "Boss, do you want to set up a video website dedicated to serving foreign users?" ”

YouTube is about to be established, and this website will soon become the world's number one video website with the promotion of beautiful countries.

Li Shengyao has now set up an English video website, even if the Fenghua drama is very good, at most he will break through in Southeast Asia.

As for the European and American markets, don't think about it at all.

In his previous life, the Korean drama "Squid Game" became popular in Europe and the United States, and it quickly became a niche drama.

This has nothing to do with the content, but is more about the promotion of national strength.

At this time, the beautiful country was still a beacon of the world, and they launched things that were easily admired by others.

Huaxia does not have this strength at present.

In fact, even if there is, Li Shengyao does not plan to launch a foreign video website at this time.

At this time, Southeast Asia was still relatively poor, and the population was not enough, so there was no money to be made by launching a website.

In more than ten years, the Southeast Asian market will be richer, and at this time, the world's capital will look at it.

Tengxun, Aiqiyi, Mango, and Yougu in the mainland have all launched related video websites in Southeast Asia.

The capital of the beautiful country is Disney, HBO, and Netflix.

The membership price of Netflix is 35 US dollars a year, and the membership price of several domestic video websites is 15 US dollars a year.

Several domestic video websites actually entered the game earlier, and the market user share was higher at the beginning, but the user usage rate was far less than that of Netflix.

Tengxun has the best development, with a daily user usage rate of only 10 percent, while Netflix exceeds 40 percent.

The reason why Netflix can attract Southeast Asian users is not that he has a lot of European and American high-quality dramas, but that they have all the excellent Korean dramas in their pockets.

You must know that young people in Southeast Asia at that time grew up watching Korean dramas.

Now that Li Shengyao has cut off the road of Korean dramas, he only needs to continue to produce excellent idol dramas every year, so that after more than ten years of accumulation, they have hundreds, or even hundreds of excellent idol dramas.

When the time comes, establish a video website and broadcast exclusively, and you will definitely be able to easily win in the Southeast Asian market.

Netflix can flourish in Europe and the United States, but Southeast Asia belongs to the backyard of Chinese culture.

This is a cultural war, before Lee Shengyao crossed over, Chinese dramas and Korean dramas were already inseparable in Southeast Asia.

Li Shengyao does this well, even if he loses in the film industry, he is a big man and a person he values above.

"It's too early now, in a few years, eight or nine years, we can almost build our foreign video site."

Wu Wenhui didn't quite understand.

"It's too poor over there, we can't keep losing money to make up for it, and in ten years it's almost over, and then we can make money with good resources."

……

It's still at the Liangmahe Hotel, but this time it's not Yan Danchen, Zhao Yang, and Southeast Asian fans, this time it's a private party of Li Shengyao and Wu Wenhui, as well as Cheng Long and Hong Jinbao.

Cheng Long is very busy now, he is filming "Myth", he has finished filming the scene in Ah San, and will move to the mainland next.

This time it was Cheng Long who invited him, he first congratulated Li Shengyao on establishing Fenghua Cinema, and then congratulated Fenghua Opera on its success in Southeast Asia, and finally said the purpose of this time.

"Director Li, I listened to what you asked Big Brother to give me before, but I have been really busy in the past few years, and the itinerary has been scheduled for a few years."

Li Shengyao wants to cooperate with Cheng Long, so that he can earn a beautiful knife.

No, Cheng Long is naturally unwilling to admit his defeat now, and he still wants to rely on his personal charm to regain the love of the audience in the beautiful country.

In Li Shengyao's previous life, it wasn't until 07 that "Rush Hour 3" had just preserved its capital, and Cheng Long really extinguished the idea of developing in Hollywood.

This time, Cheng Long came to Li Shengyao, in fact, in order to politely and amicably reject Li Shengyao's suggestion.

"So Director Li, we will have the opportunity to cooperate again in the future."

When Li Shengyao heard this, he smiled and nodded, "It's okay, I understand." ”

Hong Jinbao asked with a smile at this time: "Director Li, what do you want to cooperate with him, can't I?" ”

He's just gags and lighten the mood.

The movie that Li Shengyao wanted to cooperate with Cheng Long was the very famous "Hurricane Rescue".

This movie does not have an original, it was conceived by French screenwriters.

You can copy it completely, so you don't have to worry about copyright issues.

Of course, Li Shengyao didn't go into details, so he avoided the important and said lightly: "It's an action movie, but it's different from the big brother's current action movie, the style is different, it is more cold and sharp." ”

Cheng Long and Hong Jinbao nodded, but they didn't care too much.

Hong Jinbao filmed "Punch, Dad" with Lee Shengyao, he thinks Lee Shengyao is a person with ideas, but he doesn't think Lee Shengyao can have a more insightful view of action movies than them.

"Director Li, in addition to this movie, we can continue to work together, do you have any other themes?"

Hong Fatzi looked at Li Shengyao with a sincere gaze.

In fact, most of the people in Hong Kong Film are still alive now, not because they lack people, but because they lack good stories.

Seeing this, Li Shengyao thought for a moment, and then said: "Cooperate with me, Fenghua will take the lion's share." ”

Hong Jinbao is not wrong in what he said.

Li Shengyao cooperated with Cheng Long, which was to earn a beautiful knife.

And if you cooperate with other people, the profit will be much less.

He used to think that it was boring to make a small fight, but if you think about it, it's okay to shoot with other people.

There are some films that he can shoot first, especially Korean films, although they are small money, they can cut off their back roads.

is like "Train to Busan", in Lee Shengyao's previous life, this movie made a fortune in Southeast Asia and earned more than 10 million US dollars.

Now is the time when zombie movies are popular, and they can be used to make them.

The theme of "Train to Busan" cannot be filmed in the mainland and will not pass the review, but it does not mean that the mainland cannot be introduced.

"Resident Evil" was released on a large scale in the mainland.

It can be filmed by Hong Kong Island filmmakers, and then imported to the mainland, and sold in Southeast Asia at the same time.

Hong Jinbao didn't have as many worries as Cheng Long, "Then you must have the lion's share, Director Li, let's work together." ”

Hong Tianming has finished filming "Yue, Prison" with Wang Fatzi, and Hong Tianming is full of praise for the plot of "Yue, Prison", saying that it will definitely be a big hit.

Hung also believes in Lee's ability to make up stories.

When Li Shengyao heard this, he nodded, "Okay, let's get together again in the next year, and I'll show you the script when the time comes, and we'll discuss the details seriously." ”
