China Entertainment: Let you shoot for charity and make tens of billions?

“Stay tuned!”

"Oh my god, what's going on? I really want to see it!"

Many netizens were speechless after downloading the software.

Because the content they expected was there, but it had not been filmed yet.

This made them very upset because who knew how long the filming would take?

"This software also has membership! And the membership fee is not cheap! Although it can be shared among families."

Many people may have done it for traffic, or perhaps they were really looking forward to it, but they directly made this matter a hot topic.

In fact, all the functions are already there.

Free for a limited time, free for members!
The word "member" makes them extremely sensitive.

The current market network playback platform is transitioning from pirated software to genuine software.

Therefore, many people's mindset has not changed, and watching pirated movies for free has actually become the mainstream.

It has been corrected over the years, but the results are very general.

Since we are used to the free service, we will definitely not spend more money.

And in the words of netizens, how much money is enough? How much is the platform alone? How many TV series do we need to revisit every year? It’s better to watch a movie!
So it seems like we are stuck in a vicious circle.

If a website wants to make its name known, it needs to spend money to buy more copyrights.

But copyrights are really expensive, especially when there may not be many viewers to enjoy them after they are purchased.

This is the most uncomfortable thing.

If you want to make more money, then increase membership or even take more advertisements!
The non-members nowadays are so tortured.

And many of them are unwatchable.

For example, the Country Love series, which not many people watch as a skit, requires at least four broadcast tickets if you want to watch the whole thing, and some of them are exclusive broadcasts.

That's why piracy is so popular.

This also means that the platform does not provide any distinguished service to its members, but rather it is like cutting leeks.

Now not only have they launched a platform, but even Mango TV is doing it, because they have more copyrighted programs and have put recordings of some of their old programs on the Internet, which are not free to broadcast at all.

This time, an online streaming platform that had nothing on it actually came up with some kind of membership. Even though this was related to Su Yi, it was still a bit offensive.

“Is this getting out of the system and starting to make money?”

"Didn't you work at Su Yi Charity Organization before? Why isn't it free?"

"I guess Su Yi thinks the same thing. His previous works didn't make any money at all."

Although this was not everyone's idea, it still received a lot of likes.

For a while, negative news also spread.

Although no one attacked Su Yi openly, anyone with a discerning eye could see that the main purpose of attacking Liu Shishi was Su Yi.

Because if there was no Su Yi, Liu Shishi would not have the reputation she has now.

"The movie hasn't even started yet, but they've already started charging membership fees. Are they going to adopt a per-film payment model in the future? I heard that some online platform software has already started this model. Above the membership level, there will be a super membership. In the future, there will be gold, platinum, and platinum memberships!"

"No way! Everyone knows that this software was created by Su Yi. They are all targeting Su Yi's reputation. If he does this, it will be like destroying his own reputation. You know, he is the director of the Public Welfare Department. Isn't this Public Welfare Department mainly for public welfare purposes?"

Everyone started discussing it.

"Didn't you click in to try? You can sign up for membership now. It feels a bit unsightly! It's even higher than several other online video platforms. You see, ordinary membership costs 15 yuan a month, and it's not ad-free, you just enjoy the movies! And the 30 yuan one can be used on both ends. Although it's ad-free, this 30 yuan has exceeded the fees of all platforms. The most terrifying thing is the 50 yuan one. Did Director Su Yi link our income level with that of the Star Flag Country after he went abroad? You know, the per capita level in Mexico is higher than ours!"

"If that's the case, then it's really too much. However, all packages above 15 yuan are ad-free. Now as long as there are no ads, it's fine. I was watching a drama a while ago, and there were some ads that really affected my mood. Even if I became a super member, I couldn't avoid them. I had to press the return button to make them disappear, and they would appear again after a while!"

Many people complained about it, and this matter even became a hot topic in a short time, because after all, there is nothing on the platform now, just a "stay tuned", and they are actually going to start charging.

Not to mention Su Yi's face, even if it was a software released by the General Administration, it would probably be criticized.

What's more, this company is nominally poetic and picturesque, but in name it belongs to Liu Shishi.

There are more and more voices of discussion.

Some people complained that the fees were too expensive, while others said that Su Yi might resign from the system and was already thinking about how to make money.

But the battle with CNN had just ended and they had won a glorious victory, so many people would rather believe that it was just a misunderstanding.

"Maybe it's because the software has just been launched, so there are still some bugs in it. This does not represent the final charging standard."

Some people tried to explain, but someone had already successfully recharged and posted a screenshot.

"It's a bit too much to start cutting leeks when there's nothing. From this point of view, it's better to choose other online platform software. At least they are comprehensive and there are many choices."

……

Poetic and picturesque head office.

Liu Shishi's temperament is becoming less like that of an actor, and more like that of a mature and beautiful female president. When she is not in front of the camera, although she is still gentle, she is also more capable.

No wonder, she has filmed fewer TV dramas in recent years and has spent most of her time busy with her career.

With her and Su Yi's wealth, it was quick to open a company. After renting a building, they started recruiting technical staff.

So when Su Yi went abroad to shoot a documentary, although Liu Shishi had not yet resolved the issues regarding cooperation - it could even be said that she had run into obstacles everywhere - she had expanded the scale of the company.

Don't underestimate the matter of spending money. It seems that anyone can spend money, but there are still a lot of trivial things involved.

Su Yi may not be as good as Liu Shishi in this regard.

"Mr. Liu, there is definitely no problem with the technical department, but the public opinion outside is very bad now. There was no problem with the recharge channel we tested before, but... there are a lot of voices of opposition."

The public relations department is managed by a female manager, which is different from the traditional public relations department. Most of the public relations of some financial companies are women with beautiful looks and good figures. What kind of work do they need? Those who understand will understand.

Selling one's looks is even just the most basic level; a huge amount of alcohol intake and words of praise at the dinner table are the basics.

But as an online video company, Liu Shishi set up a public relations department not for this purpose, but to collect network data and report it to the technical department for optimization. In addition, when faced with some negative news, they are responsible for explaining and apologizing. "Ordinary customers can also see the recharge channel? The technical department said there is no problem."

Liu Shishi frowned slightly. Although her voice was gentle, she looked a little unhappy.

The head of the technical department stood up hurriedly.

This is a company meeting. Although it is not large in scale, all the attendees are senior executives.

"Boss Liu! It was Director Su who asked us to do this."

What did the senior say?

Liu Shishi nodded slightly and didn't ask any more questions.

Because she knew that if it was something the senior did, then he must have his own reasons.

But Liu Shishi didn't ask any more questions, but the manager of the technical department thought too much.

You can't be caught in the middle!

"In fact, this was specifically instructed by Director Su Yi. He said that since the software has just been developed, we need to create some topics. If we only rely on his reputation, it will not last long. In fact, this recharge entrance is a benefit, and it is a very good benefit. Some people on the Internet did not report it truthfully, and even smeared it. Although there are no works on the platform now, those who apply now will enjoy the right to enjoy a lifetime 15 yuan monthly card without all advertisements."

This can only be a big deal.

Liu Shishi didn’t know about this matter, but if Su Yi had given the order, it was normal for her not to know.

She knew what her senior was thinking, which was to relax herself and do more of the things she wanted to do.

Thinking of this, Liu Shishi felt a warm feeling flowing through her heart.

Because this was the idea proposed by Liu Shishi at the beginning, but her ambition was not that big, she just wanted to make it a "clear stream" that loses money.

And Su Yi’s joining will undoubtedly make this company a top-tier one!
"There is such a benefit. I will ask my family to register one when I go back. Unfortunately, this account must be bound to Longshiting. Only one can be registered per mobile phone."

"Haha. Director Su is really good. He easily solved the technical problem of the account. Now I don't have to worry about anti-theft issues anymore."

A quiet discussion began in the conference room.

Liu Shishi herself did not even expect that this incident, which was criticized by the whole network, would be regarded as the most severe slap in the face of netizens by Shiqinghuayi Company, and the whole network's complaints turned into regrets of the whole network.

The first batch of users will have far more than just ad-free permissions for entry-level users!
"These are indeed not the main point. The main point is the program. I admire Director Su's achievements, but our platform is under a lot of pressure now. In addition, time-travel dramas like Charlotte's Troubles are very popular recently. I think we should contact some high-quality web drama directors and use our large investment to quickly produce a good rebirth and time-travel TV series. It can become the dark horse of this year's click rate."

Someone suggested quietly, not that he had any views or opinions about Su Yi.

It was because Su Yi's TV series about the Battle of Shanghai was not that attractive in her eyes.

And the investment is so high, 900 million!
Even created a battlefield in the Magic City!
Although it is located in a suburb, it has been turned into a film and television city.

Moreover, many of the extras are real ordinary people, and the actors who play the military leaders from various places are all really from those places.

For actors, the first thing they pay attention to is their image, and then their acting skills.

This is somewhat different from Su Yi's previous casting. As investors of Shiqinghuayi, they strictly speaking have the power to supervise the director - although no one would be stupid enough to control Su Yi.

In Su Yi’s own words, many shots in this movie are about ordinary soldiers and the cruelty of the war at that time.

We need to use the most realistic images to let the audience feel the cruelty, let them truly face the despair at that time, but bravely sacrifice their lives when they know they will die!
This is also the first work to fire the first shot of poetic and picturesque beauty, and it must be loud!
Even Su Yi deliberately created some topics to hype up the platform and his works.

Because this is the first time for both of them to start a business.

Because of Su Yi, this platform is not only popular in China, but also attracts attention all over the world.

No matter what industry, the title of world's number one is very impressive, and it is normal to attract much attention.

"Don't worry about the work. This time the company is going to invest 3 billion. We can tolerate losing money, but we absolutely cannot tolerate any bad plot or script!"

Poetic and picturesque, these are not just the names of Su Yi and Liu Shishi.

There is more meaning behind this.

Some of the famous movies on Netflix are famous because of the plot, some because of the unique cultural propaganda of the Star-Flag Country, etc.

Su Yi will not completely imitate Netflix, but will have its own characteristics.

"Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio" and "Classic of Mountains and Seas" are the first batch of works to be changed.

Every year Su Yi will come up with a theme. Of course, it cannot be a solo performance, but a hundred schools of thought.

After developing the ideas, there will be more works.

Brain-burning, criminal investigation, and even through Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio, we can gradually open up some short TV dramas such as folk customs and ghost stories.

Of course, like Netflix, we will also have our own invested works, or purchase copyrights for broadcasting, but the poetic and picturesque content must be unique!
Liu Shishi was very firm on this point.

This is also a principle.

Anyway, a movie starring Su Yi can support more poetic and picturesque TV dramas.

You will lose money at first, but things will get better slowly.

Liu Shishi firmly believed this - because, this is what Su Yi said!

"Okay, Mr. Liu, then we should definitely call Director Su to ask about it. I think giving the audience a relatively tolerable amount of time to broadcast the video will also be good for our platform."

The deputy manager works meticulously, speaks with work in mind, and never drags his feet to gain personal connections.

The atmosphere of the entire company is the same.

Everything is based on efficiency.

"Director Su said that in order to satisfy the audience, we can broadcast three episodes at once. The early shots have been almost finished, and post-production will take some time. About a month."

Liu Shishi took a deep breath. Even though she felt that things had just begun, she already had a sense that everything was under control.

This is the strong sense of security that the senior has!

The deputy manager hesitated to speak, but finally sighed.

How did this script pass review? (End of this chapter)
