At first, I just wanted to make money

Chapter 789 Dispute over account sharing?

The game business is the bulk of PPTV revenue...

At the beginning of the acquisition, there were already several million registered users. After more than two years of development, the number of users exceeded 3000 million!

So how do you monetize so many users?
Engage in live broadcast?
It’s true, but…it’s not the 4G era yet, and there aren’t that many people watching the live broadcast, so I can only do some marginal things…

So is the revenue!

Still have to play games.

Originally, it was just a few web games, such as "Dandantang", "PP Farm" and so on. In 09, it launched "Seven Heroes", which became popular all over the Internet...

Last year, there were "Immortal Way", "Warring States", "Proudly Look at the World", "Legend of Shushan"...

This year, I simply made two end-games: "Nine Yin Scriptures" and "Dragon in the Sky".

Great success, the monthly turnover exceeds 4 million!
This is also an important reason why Baidu, Hillhouse and IDG Capital are optimistic about PPTV...

It is not only a video platform, but also a game platform, with more than 1 million potential users...

Therefore, Shen Xudong still has a little understanding of several major game companies!
"Have you looked for NetEase?"

"I didn't go there, I don't have time to talk about this..."

Shen Xudong waved his hand: "I might as well have a cup of tea when I have that time!"

Zhang Chaoyang asked again: "Then why do you want to make a video website?"

"I want a broadcasting channel...a broadcasting channel that I can make my own decisions..."

"channel?"

"That's right!" Shen Xudong nodded: "With the advent of the mobile era, the video platform must have a greater development. Not only can you watch videos, but you can even browse news and watch variety shows... slowly replacing the role of TV stations. After all, TV stations need TVs. mobile phones, and to watch videos, you only need a mobile phone... But now there are too many video platforms, I think we can eliminate another batch, and keep three or five!"

"Three or five?"

Shen Xudong nodded: "Youku Tudou has been merged, Tencent Video is under layout, Sohu Video and PPTV..."

"Where's the vision?"

Shen Xudong scratched his head: "楽视...it's hard to say."

Zhang Chaoyang changed the subject: "Why do you want to fight a copyright war?"

"We have a strong production team, and we can fully supply the content needed by PPTV...Of course I can afford a copyright war, and other companies can't be sure!"

Speaking of this, Shen Xudong thought of one thing: "Mr. Zhang, oh I heard that you broadcast the big S's wedding live, and then drained traffic for Sohu Weibo?"

"right…"

"How's the effect?"

"I'm a live broadcast with pictures and texts... It really attracted many netizens."

"...Don't you think this is a new track?"

"The track?"

"Live!"

"Live what?"

"Anything can be broadcast live, play games live, watch movies live...you can even eat food live!"

Zhang Chaoyang shook his head: "It's boring!"

Well, in the original time and space, Sohu Video acquired 56 Videos in its heyday.

However, Zhang Chaoyang announced that the acquisition does not include the "Wo Show" business, because Sohu Video does not have a "Wo Show" type of business.Two years later, in 2016, China's live broadcast platforms exploded. Zhang Chaoyang, who was one step late, hastily launched Qianfan Live, but the timing has already been missed...

Shen Xudong looked at him in surprise...

Do you think live streaming is boring?
This person has lost his previous judgment on the market!

Including Sohu Video, from 2012 to 2014, relying on Dapeng's "Diaosi Man" to maintain Sohu's pure sense...

However, I feel that the relationship between Zhang Chaoyang and Dapeng is not very good. Dapeng's second movie "Sewing Machine Band" does not have Sohu...

……

The conversation continued, but Shen Xudong no longer wanted to bring up the topic.

Zhang Chaoyang took the initiative to find a few topics, similar to how Shen Xudong made Chinese people look good in Hollywood...

After chatting for about half an hour, Zhang Chaoyang answered the phone and left.

After seeing him off, Shen Xudong restrained his smile and prepared to go to the gym for a run...

It is better to meet than to be famous!
Lao Zhang is completely addicted to ten years ago, otherwise, he would not be able to say, "In three years, Sohu will return to the center of the Internet"...

I still think about what I can learn from chatting with him...

With that time, it’s better to watch the video...

While exercising, Gao Jun suddenly called, saying that Zhang Weiping had an appointment with the eight major theaters and asked for a share increase!

"The current share is 43%, right?"

Chen Xi nodded: "It's 43%!"

Shen Xudong thought for a while, "...Let him talk if he wants to talk. It's good for the producers to increase the share!"

"It's good for the producers, but it's not good for the theaters... Do you know what the 2% share means?"

Gao Jun said directly: "The rent that only goes up but not down, the increasing operating costs of manpower, water, electricity, equipment, etc., coupled with the crazy price war, have caused many theaters to hover on the verge of losing money..."

This is also true...

Shen Xudong said: "In the current situation, Zhang Weiping has this attitude. If you don't raise the price, I won't give you the key and copy... So, what can you do?"

"Can you move up to "Flying Armor of the Dragon Gate"..."

Gao Jun meant to let "Flying Armor of the Dragon Gate" fill in the vacancy of "Jinling Thirteen Hairpins"...

That is to say, "Jinling Thirteen Hairpins" requires a share of the account, so "Flying Armor of the Dragon Gate" does not want to increase, and even actively cooperates with theaters.

In the original time and space, that's what Bona did!

When "Jinling Thirteen Hairpins" was released, Zhang Weiping publicly declared that "Flying Armor of the Dragon Gate" would not increase the share in order to increase the share to 45% and compete with the eight major theaters alone.

Of course, Zhang Weiping didn't get used to him, and directly announced that ""The Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling" will not be screened in Bona's theaters...", forcing Yu Dong to arrange "Flying Armor of the Dragon Gate" to be tough and "Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling" ——If "Flying Swords of the Dragon Gate" is not shown, there will be no new films in Bona's theaters!
Shen Xudong couldn't do this kind of thing.

No matter what Zhang Weiping's starting point is, it is still necessary to increase the distribution of accounts...

After all, the proportion of accounts in the Mainland is still too low!

Of course, the theater also has a reason, "The producer can say that it is because the project is risky, but why not think it is caused by the producer's own lack of control over the project?"No ability, but put the bill on the theater? '

"Don't even think about it! "Flying Swords of the Dragon Gate" has already taken a big advantage, and it has taken over the two big schedules of Christmas and New Year's Day!"

"...He also increased the price of movie tickets!"

Shen Xudong was stunned for a moment: "Increasing the price of movie tickets? Is he sick?"

"Then we..."

"We won't raise the fare..."

"Then I announced it?"

Shen Xudong thought for a while and said: "...You should confirm with the propaganda department whether it is a good thing or a bad thing to announce this kind of news at this time, and pay more attention to online public opinion..."

"...Well, I'll go find Chen Xi right away...Boss..."

"Contact me anytime!"

After hanging up the phone, Shen Xudong quickly turned on his phone and flipped through the relevant entertainment reports.

Well, Zhang Weiping is in the limelight again this time!

According to reports: BJ New Picture Film Co., Ltd., the film producer of "Thirteen Hairpins", unilaterally announced that the minimum ticket price of the film will be raised from 35 yuan to 40 yuan, and at the same time, the share of accounts with theaters will be raised from 43% to 45%. …

Shen Xudong was really surprised: Is Zhang Weiping crazy?
How dare he?

Do you really think that if the theater does not show "The Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling", there will be no other movies to show?
　I originally wanted to write about Zhang Chaoyang, but suddenly I felt that it was meaningless...

　　It's better to write Reba directly!

　　Oh, sorry!
