P2P video playback technology is naturally suitable for use on various online streaming media platforms for online on-demand use.

It's really a pity that Kuaibo uses it to make pornography.

Especially at a time when the Internet broadband penetration rate in the mainland is not high enough, the advantages of P2P technology are very large, and it can achieve smooth on-demand video in the case of low broadband.

After poaching Wang Xin, Wu Yuan immediately asked him and his team to make a network player based on P2P video playback technology.

After almost two months of hard work, the underlying code is almost written, and it is estimated that in another two or three months, this player will be online.

In comparison, the company's webcast drama "Soul Ferry" produced for the promotion of this [Light and Shadow Express] has been prepared much slower.

"Mr. Li, do you understand now?" Wu Yuan asked with a smile.

Listening to Wang Xin's babbling about the advantages of P2P technology, although Li Xiaoping still didn't quite understand, she knew that the two of them were full of confidence in this project by looking at the expressions of Wu Yuan and Wang Xin.

Although she was still a little puzzled in her heart, she knew that Wu Yuan's decision would be difficult to change.

As an excellent worker, Li Xiaoping immediately adjusted her mentality: "Understood, Director Wu." ”

"I will follow up on the implementation of the "Soul Ferry" project as soon as possible, and strive to complete the production in the first quarter of 2008."

"However, Director Liu Meichuan's side."

Wu Yuan interrupted her and asked, "Has Liu Meichuan read the script of "Soul Ferry"?" ”

"Not yet." Li Xiaoping said with some embarrassment, she didn't recognize this project very much, that is, she just mentioned it to Liu Meichuan.

"You read the script to him first." Wu Yuan couldn't say anything: "I believe that after he reads the script, he will be interested in this TV series." ”

"And who said that the "Soul Ferry" series only does TV series?"

"If the webcast of this series is good, it will definitely make a big movie in the future!"

The later big IP strategy of internal entertainment and Haolaiwu, Wu Yuan is not unclear.

He must also want to create his own movie and TV series IP in the era of light and shadow, and this "Soul Ferry" is the first attempt.

Three to four TV series, plus 1-2 movies, is enough to create the mainland's No. 1 horror film and television IP, even if Wu Yuan finishes copying, Liu Meichuan and others can continue to expand the screenwriter according to the existing content in the future.

Anyway, before he woke up from his dream, the series "Soul Ferry" was unfinished, and there was no complete ending.

The reason for the unfinished ending is very simple, due to the requirements of relevant laws and regulations, it is not allowed to shoot this kind of online drama that "promotes feudal superstition" and "ghosts".

But now this project started early, and the review standards of radio and television are still relatively relaxed, at the speed of one TV series in 1-2 years, at least 6-7 works can be made in the era of light and shadow!

Wu Yuan can give the outline of the script in the first few films, and the estimation in the back will have to be perfected by Liu Meichuan.

You have to entrap this pretty good horror movie genius and work hard for yourself!

"Understood, Director Wu." Li Xiaoping nodded and skipped the topic.

Wu Yuan also smiled kindly at Wang Xin: "Mr. Wang, then you continue to be busy, we will leave first." ”

"After the player of Light and Shadow Express is finished, don't rush to go online first, wait for me to notify."

The [Light and Shadow Express] done this time, although it is also called fast broadcasting, is completely two players with Wang Xin's [Fast Broadcasting].

It's absolutely not okay to do pornography or anything, Wu Yuan directly asked Wang Xin to do a backstage of the film library, and turned off the fast broadcast sharing mode he originally planned to do.

After downloading the Kuaibo player, users can only watch or download TV series and movies provided in the library, or play locally saved videos, and cannot download and share videos with others through Kuaibo.

In this way, one of the biggest "loopholes" of Kuaibo has been blocked as a small yellow video sharing and the back door of the player.

However, in this way, the content of the film library of the light and shadow broadcast itself is very important.

If the content is too small, then users can only watch a few dozen film and television works, and then they need to download some videos on the Internet by themselves, and then get the light and shadow express to watch, the process is very troublesome.

Compared with those video sites that are full of all kinds of pirated film sources, the disadvantages are very large.

However, Wu Yuan had already prepared for this.

"Mr. Li, how are you talking with Jiahe?"

"And TVB."

Li Xiaoping nodded: "I have talked to both companies, and they are also willing to exclusively license the online broadcast rights to our online streaming platform." ”

"But the price is a bit high."

"If you want to sign for ten years in one go, Golden Harvest will quote 50 million Hong Kong dollars, and TVB will also ask for 40 million Hong Kong dollars."

"Snort." Wu Yuan sneered, extremely dissatisfied: "I dare to shout!" ”

"Which online platform on the whole network cares about copyright now?"

"Their movies and TV series are full of pirated film sources on the mainland Internet, embarrassed to ask for so much money?"

Wu Yuan thought for a while, and then said: "It's okay to ask for forty or fifty million, but the contract must be signed for 15 years!" ”

"Especially Golden Harvest, the company is going bankrupt and selling, what's the point of holding on to their library?"

"With these 50 million Hong Kong dollars, Golden Harvest can last at least two more years, I don't believe they don't want it."

It's not impossible for film and television companies to do this kind of thing.

Selling the exclusive online broadcasting rights for the next fifteen years in exchange for a cash bailout is better than going bankrupt with the company with the film library.

"TVB is also going downhill now, and their TV dramas are also rampant in the mainland, and some companies are willing to buy genuine copyrights, so it's time to have fun."

"Let's talk to them again, grind a little more, and I'm sure they'll agree."

Wu Yuan spread his hands: "Just tell them directly, if you are willing to sign this price, if you don't want to buy it, you won't buy it, and they will be the ones who should be in a hurry when the time comes." ”

In this form on the Chinese Internet now, before the state cracks down on piracy, which film and television company can sell the copyright of online broadcasting?

Everyone is being prostituted for nothing!

Now there are companies willing to give some money to buy genuine copies, which is already good.

What more bikes?

Should I say it or not, the influence of Hong Kong dramas and Hong Kong films in the mainland is still quite large.

Wu Yuan plans to launch the light and shadow express broadcast, and the first thing to focus on is Hong Kong films, Hong Kong dramas and the company's self-made drama market.

The year 2007 was a very special one.

Many of the top Hong Kong Island film companies in the 80s and 90s of the last century have come to the brink of bankruptcy.

Golden Harvest, Shaw Brothers and other traditional Hong Kong Island film companies, bankrupt bankruptcy, acquired acquisition.

TVB, the leader of Hong Kong dramas, is also declining in influence.

Due to cost constraints, the TV dramas produced by TVB are too small and childish, and they can't do big productions in the mainland, nor can they do idol dramas on Taiwan Island, and their influence has gradually weakened from the previous Asian level to Hong Kong Island.

At a time when these veteran production companies on Hong Kong Island are going downhill and even on the verge of bankruptcy, their film library can be said to be the most valuable thing in their bodies.

If you want to buy the full film library, it's really not worth it, the price is too expensive.

But only buying an online exclusive broadcast right that is not cared about at all now is still a trick.

After making a plan with Li Xiaoping to buy the copyright of Hong Kong dramas, Wu Yuan doesn't need to bother anymore for the next thing.

Whether it is a streaming media platform or a film company, Wang Xin and Li Xiaoping are responsible for the daily operation, and Lin Wei is also staring at the theater, and Wu Yuan only needs to grasp the general.

More of his work focus is still on the post-production of "Gravity" and the preparation of the literary film "A Man Named Li Wen Decided to Die".

Wu Yuan has never forgotten his identity as a director, and it is this ability to continue to produce excellent film works that has made him the core figure of several companies.

The later stage of "Gravity" has come to an end, all kinds of special effects, space scenes have been done, and they are being synthesized into the feature film, and it is estimated that in two or three months, the first version will be released.

The preparation of "A Man Named Li Wen Decided to Die" was even faster.

What is difficult to prepare for a literary film.

Wu Yuan is now waiting for the snow to snow in the capital in winter, and then he can start making this movie.

Every day, except for going to the company to stare at the post-production of "Gravity", Wu Yuan spends the rest of the time at home with Liu Yifei.

After participating in the Bazaar Charity Night and running some interview notices, Liu Yifei was also idle again and became an otaku.

The two of them enjoy this rare leisure time together, even if they can't go shopping on the street hand in hand like a normal couple, the two of them are already very satisfied with their current life.

In this way, a month passed in a flash.

"Don't Knock on the Door" was successfully screened in the interior with a total box office of 35 million, becoming the second film to make money in the Youth Support Program of the Light and Shadow Era.

Earlier, Zhang Guorong's "Good Guys, Bad Guys, Weird Guys" became the temporary mainland box office champion this year with a mainland box office of 131 million.

However, Wu Yuan knew that at the end of the year, "Casting Names" and "Assembly" would break this achievement, winning this year's box office champion and runner-up with a box office of 200 million and 249 million respectively.

As for "Good Guys, Bad Guys, Weird Guys", it should eventually lose to "Lust and Caution" released in November by a narrow margin of several million, and can only win the fourth place at the mainland box office this year.

However, this movie is not only released in the mainland, South Korea has set a schedule to release "Good Guys, Bad Guys, Weird Guys" in South Korea in November, and Japan will also release it at the same time, but the number of films will not be very high.

As for the box office on Hong Kong Island, it can only be said that it is better than nothing, only a little more than 10 million Hong Kong dollars.

This year, the box office of mainstream cinema lines in cities across the country is expected to exceed 3 billion yuan, an increase of more than 20% over last year, and the number of audiences will reach about 100 million.

The comprehensive film revenue for the whole year is expected to reach 6 billion yuan.

After a five-year recovery period from 2002 to 2007, the film box office market in mainland China has officially begun to enter the fast lane!

The spring of the film industry is really coming!
