My Age of Investment

Everyone looked at Zhang Zhao curiously and saw him take out two books from his briefcase.

People with relatively good eyesight have clearly seen the fonts on the covers of the two books.

"Tomb Robbery Notes"?

"Ghost blows out the lamp"?

What kind of gift is this?

A group of people, including Monk Zhanger, were confused.

Xia Jingxing ordered Zhang Zhao to pass the two books to everyone for circulation, while he explained at the side: "These two books can actually be understood as adventure novels, which are very interesting. I will arrange for someone to give everyone a set later."

Feng Pengtong is a wonderful person. Although his teeth are exposed when he smiles, his words are quite pleasing to the ear.

“Mr.

“There are fight scenes and a little bit of fantasy.”

Upon hearing Xia Jingxing's words, Feng Pengtang quickly waved his hand and stopped showing off.

After Feng Pengtong made some jokes, everyone had basically finished circulating the two books.

Huang Huazhong asked: "Mr. Xia, do you mean to adapt these two novels into movies?"

Upon hearing this, everyone cheered up, maybe it would be another big project worth billions.

They have never doubted Mr. Xia's strength, and they only hope that Mr. Xia's enthusiasm for the film and television industry will last longer.

"Yes, adapt it into a movie."

Just as smiles appeared on the faces of the group of people, Xia Jingxing added: "But not now."

Hearing this, Huang Huazhong, Yu Dong and others could not hide the disappointment on their faces.

"How long will it take to shoot?" Wang Changtian asked.

"We'll start filming in a few years. Now let's get the IP hot and make a few web series!"

What the hell? Web drama?

Except for Zhang Zhao, Liu Kun, and Wang Wei, everyone looked at Xia Jingxing in confusion, saying that they had never heard of this concept.

"Mr. Xia, what is an online drama? Is it a TV series broadcast online?"

Xia Jingxing glanced at Feng Pants, who looked studious, and nodded: "Yes, that's understandable."

"Only on the Internet?"

Zhao Yifang looked at Xia Jingxing very curiously. TV dramas were their specialty at Huace Film and Television. They were just talking about movies and couldn't get a word in.

"It depends on the situation, but the web dramas adapted from these two novels will definitely only be broadcast on Tudou."

A smile appeared on Xia Jingxing's lips. Yes, he planned to start the era of online dramas.

Isn’t Kiwi video quite arrogant recently? It's time to give it some color.

One or several popular online dramas can attract netizens with limited Internet time to Tudou.

As for whether to take this opportunity to activate the video membership mode, it depends on the situation.

In addition, he also plans to bind various TV drama production companies through the commercial interest chain of "adapting the IP of the novel into a web drama and then exclusively broadcasting it on Tudou.com to build momentum on Weibo."

As for whether the film company is willing to participate, it still depends on the ideas of several bosses.

The only shortcoming is that both novels come from external websites. They were acquired by Zhang Zhao, a master of copyright packaging, and are not IPs born on domestic literature platforms.

There is no good solution for this at the moment. I have asked Shanda many times, but I just don’t want to sell the online literature business, so I can only set up a platform myself first, and then look for opportunities for mergers and acquisitions in the future.

"Mr. Xia, how much do you plan to invest in a TV series?"

Zhao Yifang is very familiar with the TV industry and settled the score for Xia Jingxing: "If we don't sell to major TV stations, we will just rely on the income from online copyrights.

Even though the price of online copyrights for film and television dramas has increased a lot, one episode is only one or two hundred thousand yuan, and forty episodes is less than 10 million yuan. It is difficult to recover the cost. "

Xia Jingxing smiled and replied: "You are right, the current market for online dramas is not big, which is a test for production costs.

However, Tudou and Domestic Pictures can participate in investment in film and television dramas and share part of the investment pressure.

Moreover, Tudou.com, as a procurement platform, can be responsible for ensuring the bottom line, such as signing an agreement, how many TV series to purchase each year, what the guaranteed minimum price is, and so on.

Huace can only provide actors and directors without any investment, and just serve as a channel to promote new talents. It can also form a joint venture with domestic film companies to specialize in making online dramas. "

Speaking of this, Xia Jingxing looked at Cai Yinong, Huang Huazhong, Wang Changtian, Yu Dong and others, and said: "If you want to enter online dramas and expand the online market, Haihai Holdings can also establish all-round cooperation with you."

Huang Huazhong said half-jokingly: "Mr.

With so many dramas, will there be any pressure on Tudou? "

The group of people all looked at Xia Jingxing with great interest, wanting to hear how Tudou digested so many TV series.

Obviously, Tudou's purchase of so many TV series is a loss-making business.

Based on the purchase price of 50 million yuan per TV series, Tudou would need to spend 1 billion yuan to purchase 20 TV series a year.

At present, Tudou's annual advertising revenue has only exceeded 100 million.

There is a huge gap in the middle!

Although Mr. Xia has money and can subsidize Tudou.com, he will never engage in loss-making business.

Everyone speculates that Tudou must have some mysterious method of monetization.

"I plan to transform Tudou.com into a Netflix-style service, charging monthly membership fees."

When everyone heard this, their eyes almost popped out. What kind of magic operation was this?

“Mr.

Xia Jingxing nodded towards Huang Huazhong, "I understand what you said and have considered it carefully, so I will not launch a paid membership system for the time being.

Before the system is officially launched, it is necessary to make online dramas famous so that users can accept and like online dramas.

At that point, it’s the right time to launch a paid membership. "

Huang Hualei interjected: "Mr.

"It can also be understood this way."

Xia Jingxing looked at the people who looked thoughtful and said, "Everyone, this is a rare new industry opportunity.

Everyone here is my own person, so I brought everyone together to do it.

As long as the scale of Tudou continues to grow, the annual purchase volume of online dramas may continue to expand to 50 or 100 episodes per year.

You can also take out all the movies and TV series in your respective copyright libraries and put them all on Tudou.com.

Tudou.com can package all new movies released from theaters and new TV series premiered on TV stations at a good price.

The reason why Tudou.com, Domestic Pictures, Jupin Pictures, Domestic Cultural Industry Investment Fund, and Weibo have given so much support to everyone is because they hope that we can jointly form an online film and television ecological alliance.

In the future, when Tudou goes abroad, it will also be able to carry everyone's works and hard work to enter foreign markets.

Recently, the domestic cultural industry investment fund will establish a second phase of the fund, with a tentative scale of 10 billion yuan.

If you have any good ideas, you can chat with Zhang Zhao.

China's film and television industry is flourishing, and it is even exporting culture to other countries. I am also happy to see this happen.

The senior leader also mentioned this topic when he summoned me before. He said that this is cultural soft power, a cultural highland. If the Chinese people don’t occupy it themselves, they can’t blame others for coming to our territory to compete for land. "

After listening to this call, everyone was dizzy.

The second phase of the cultural fund is 10 billion!

Form an online video ecological alliance!

Go to sea!

Occupy the cultural high ground!

Great leader!

…

Huang Huazhong was born in a courtyard. Under the influence of his father's generation, he maintained a sense of awe and knew what political correctness was.

Thinking back to Mr. Xia's visit to the city gate building last year, everything came to mind at once.

The big boss told Mr. Xia to occupy the cultural high ground, so Mr. Xia waved his hand, first throwing out 2 billion, and now throwing out 10 billion...

"Mr. Xia, when the Internet Film and Television Ecological Alliance is established, I will be the first to join!"

Yu Dong and Wang Changtian were both smart people. Seeing Huang Huazhong's impatient expression of loyalty, they cursed secretly and followed suit.

For a moment, the room was full of politically correct voices saying "I join" and "Support Mr. Xia".

Xia Jingxing glanced at Zhang Zhao out of the corner of his eye, and the latter nodded slightly.

Originally, they wanted to trap the Huang brothers first, but as a result, most of the bosses in the film and television industry were here today, and they just happened to catch them all and join the alliance.

Qianxun and Penguin colluded to play conspiracy, so they could only treat others in their own way.

Spend 10 billion to keep the younger brothers in submission, and continue to strengthen control over the film and television industry. From now on, no dramas will be sold to Kiwi Video.

The only concern is that Qianxun has a search business after all, and this blockade may not kill Qi Guo.

Therefore, we still need to grasp it with multiple hands. It is best to greatly restrain Qianxun's search business and create opportunities for Tudou to kill Kiwi.

Xia Jingxing really doesn't want the video industry to be like the Three Kingdoms War in the previous life. In fact, users have spent more money, and the experience is not very good.

However, Qianxun will definitely not sit still and wait for death. After Ali's e-commerce business is successful, it is difficult to say that he will not covet the big entertainment.

In the online video industry, there are still great variables.
