At first, I just wanted to make money

"Can PPTV go online?"

"...why can't you go up?"

Shen Xudong asked back...

The restriction order will not be promulgated until 2014, and it is normal for video sites to broadcast American dramas now.

Moreover, the price is not expensive. Basically, 20 US dollars can buy a season of broadcasting rights, which expires in about three to five years.

"Too…"

Gao Fenfen nodded, and then said: "Sohu spent 3000 million US dollars to buy American TV series... Shall we buy it?"

"Buy it...Watch American dramas on PPTV, this is our signature...Besides, we don't buy the rights to exclusive broadcasts!"

Sohu, as one of the "three major portals" in the early days of the Internet, was once all-powerful, and it was also very strong in the video field.

The operating strategies are also different in different periods. The successive "trump cards" are the main American dramas, exclusive copyrights, and self-made dramas. These can be called the "moat" of Sohu Video.

The moat of the first stage of Sohu Video is "American TV series".

In 2010, "Watch American dramas, go to Sohu" is a catchphrase that fans of American dramas know. Sohu Video was the first to introduce genuine American dramas such as "Lost", "Prison Break", "Friends", and "The Big Bang Theory", attracting a large number of loyal users All of a sudden, it became an ideal sanctuary for fans of American dramas.

Sohu Video occupies the front-line echelon of video platforms by relying on American dramas, and has won the favor of a large number of top brand advertisements.

However, this time and space was disintegrated by Shen Xudong—after 08, PPTV bought a large number of American drama copyrights...

One step ahead of Sohu!
Of course, PPTV does not buy exclusive broadcasting rights. In my memory, Sohu needs to spend a lot of energy to fight against piracy in order to curb other pirated video sites, so that a media once gave Zhang Chaoyang the title of the most active anti-piracy businessman. .

Shen Xudong has no idea to compete with him for this title...

In addition, PPTV's self-produced Hong Kong dramas are also outstanding...

The strategy of PPTV Hong Kong dramas is to invest by themselves, and then distribute them to Youku, LeTV, Tencent Video...

Why not do solo?
Brother, the annual advertising fee is less than 20 billion—the operating cost, mainly because of the high bandwidth fee, will cost [-] to [-] million!

Still doing solo?

There is no way to implement the VIP strategy - our video website started from free, and users are used to free!

Don't worry, wait a few more years to use "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" + "Tomb Notes" TV series to push VIP...

Gao Fenfen nodded: "We also bought some British dramas..."

"There are also many classic British dramas, "Yes, Minister" and "Yes, Prime Minister" are good..."

"Yo, have you seen it?"

"Of course, I also bought "Minister of Obedience" translated by Ms. Cheng Hong..."

"...Next time I see her, ask her to sign her?"

"sure!"

While chatting, Chen Xi and Xu Hui came in, and Chen Xi was still holding a golden lion...

Gao Fenfen greeted her immediately: "...You must be sure!"

"do not worry!"

Gao Fenfen took out her mobile phone: "...Well, I'll ask someone to set up a display case in the exhibition hall right away, just for this golden lion!"

Shen Xudong was speechless: "No way, isn't it just a Golden Lion Award..."

"Isn't it the Golden Lion Award? Do you know how many Golden Lion Awards we have in China?"

Shen Xudong broke his fingers and began to count: "Zhang Yi took two, Jia Zhangke also took one... Oh, by the way, Hou Xiaoxian took one, Cai Mingliang also took one, and Li Min took two!"

While talking on the phone, Gao Fenfen said: "...I mean mainland China, a private media company, you are the first!"

"Whatever you want..."

Over there, Chen Xi carefully placed the Golden Lion Award on the table, then turned to look at Shen Xudong: "Come on, Director Shen, let me interview, is the next goal the Cannes Palme d'Or?"

Shen Xudong shook his head: "This time it was an accident, I went to Venice mainly to sell copyright..."

After Gao Fenfen made the phone call, she happened to hear this sentence, and replied directly: "Don't count on him, he is far more interested in women than winning prizes!"

After saying this, Shen Xudong was a little angry: "What do you mean, I am this kind of person in your eyes?"

"...Brother, in three years, you have got your hands on more than ten female celebrities from different countries... This is still reported!"

Shen Xudong shook his head: "You don't understand Hollywood! I did it for the smooth development of my work!"

"I don't understand Hollywood, but I understand you!"

"You can't see it now, wait a few more years, and you will find that the Hollywood female stars I have promoted are called beauties!"

Shen Xudong smiled mysteriously, hiding his achievements and fame...

……

In a sense, Shen Xudong is telling the truth, the female stars who have had artistic exchanges with him are all top-notch beauties!

Most of them are models or commercials.

Moreover, he is really flattering, giving roles and resources.

In a few years, these female stars will appear in Hollywood's mainstream film lists, and everyone will be surprised to find that Shen Xudong understands aesthetics!

Let alone the acting skills of the heroine he chose, at least she is sexy and charming.

Even if it's a vase, it's a real vase!

After the prevalence of political correctness in Hollywood, heroines have become more and more popular, not to mention Hollywood blockbusters, even American dramas, there is no one who can play (gray luck)!
In addition to political correctness, there are also various second-generation and third-generation debuts...

Search Hollywood post-90s sexy female stars, and Jennifer Lawrence ranks first...

Speechless!

The most incomprehensible operation: There are no beauties in the "Transformers" series?

A purely masculine, robot + fighting + popcorn movie.

There is not a single beautiful girl in the whole movie?
What do you let people see?

See your poor photography skills?
——In the old trilogy of Bangbei, in order to reflect the sense of tension, he is particularly keen on shooting chase scenes and fighting scenes with handheld or shoulder-mounted cameras. You can see this shooting method appearing in many big-scene movies , The audience feels very tense and exciting, and the camera language has already been understood after the explosion.

The team used by Bian 7 is a group of newcomers, the director Stephen Kapoor is a rookie recruit, and the director of photography Enrique Chediak has never made a blockbuster high-scoring movie...

The lens language and post-editing are very confusing.

The key is that they also like to use the gimbal to shoot intense scenes.

This leads to a problem - look, my photography skills are so good, no matter how fierce you shoot, my lens will be stable, look at how strong my hand-held stabilizer is, our photography concept is to show off skills Yes, why does the camera shake?
Brother, do you want to go to school for a few years?
These are so-called, but, looking for this thing to play the heroine, are you challenging the lower limit of human aesthetics?

……

The Golden Lion Award is still very important, although in terms of influence, it is not comparable to the Oscar...even the search index is not comparable to the Golden Globe Award, but that is because there is a direct relationship between American cultural hegemony!
And... the last one to get the Golden Lion was Jia Zhangke...

Some people appreciate the sixth generation represented by Jia Zhangke, but more people don't like it.

How do you express dislike?

Cut the gold content of it...

But this time it was Shen Xudong who won the award!

That's... definitely different.

The publicity team of Tianmei Media is fully engaged, and it has really achieved all-round coverage. The recommendation on the PPTV home page is an interview program about Shen Xudong: keep walking!
