China Entertainment: I have been a director since 05

Chapter 418: Not only did the enemy refuse to surrender, but they also dared to fight back against me? !

"Mr. Gong?"

Guan Ling was somewhat surprised when he saw Gong Yu.

Although the two had agreed to meet after returning to China, he didn't expect that the other party would rush over to him just after he arrived at Lingyun Media.

"Director Guan, I'm sorry to come to your house because I have an urgent matter. It's not that we can't discuss the equity issue, but you have to at least give me a clear plan."

After chatting for a while, Guan Ling finally found out.

During this period, Gong Yu received many calls from Wang Wei and Gu Yongqiang.

Youku went public last December and now, more than 100 days have passed, raising more than 200 million US dollars.

Now that he was rich and powerful, and extremely generous, Gu Yongqiang seemed to be able to see through Gong Yu. Just a few words from him made Gong Yu break out in cold sweat.

In October last year, Wang Wei enabled Tudou.com, owned by Wang Wei, to cooperate with LeTV, owned by Jia, in order to compete with Youku.

When the two sides were about to draw blood from the bayonets, due to Gong Yu's sudden death, the two men strangely pointed their guns at Gong Yu.

Gong Yu didn't mind whether Guan Ling wanted to achieve cultural and entertainment integration. He knew one thing clearly: after the cooperation, both sides would prosper together and suffer together.

But Gu Yongqiang and Wang Wei care!
They knew that Guan Ling's choice of iQiyi was indeed the lowest-cost option for joining the video website market.

But for iQiyi, this is also its best opportunity.

At the same time, it also put pressure on them.

It is now well known that iQiyi is purchasing copyrights on a large scale in the market.

But what made the two of them even more uneasy was Gong Yu's flag about Guan Ling.

Guan Ling is not just Guan Ling. Guan Ling represents a large number of the best works in China, and even represents all the directors and actors of Lingyun Media.

Its power cannot be underestimated.

And these are just things on the surface; the power behind them is even more terrifying.

Take Tangren for example. When the prices offered for the online copyrights of Mr. Cai’s TV series were similar, why didn’t they choose the website that cooperated with Guan Ling?
After all, they had previously collaborated on the development of The Legend of Sword and Fairy III, and are now collaborating on Legend of Sword and Fairy. Tangren's young actress Liu Sisi now has a deep and good relationship with Guan Ling.

There have always been reports of cooperation between the two parties, and it is no secret.

It seems that Director Guan and President Cai have a pretty good relationship.

The other CEOs also have a close but distant cooperative relationship with Guan Ling.

For example, Shanying now seems to be following Guan Ling.

After all, Guan Ling is the one who makes money with everyone.

If the prices are the same, it’s obvious who they will choose!

Not to mention those actors, now when they hear Guan Ling's name, they are like cats smelling blood, and they can't wait to swallow Guan Ling.

As long as you can get in touch with Guan Ling, your status will definitely rise greatly and you will become extremely famous!

The same actor is used in their own drama, why don’t they choose iQiyi?

All these factors need to be considered.

……

"What plan do you want?"

Guan Ling looked at Gong Yu's exaggerated attitude and knew that he was just trying to gain sympathy.

Since he dared to leave at this time, he must have some confusion in his heart.

Those who use the Internet have dirty hearts.

Guan Ling is very clear about this. As a top Internet player who has experienced battles such as the Thousand Networks War and the Hundred Regiments War, he has the blood of other entrepreneurs and investors on his fingers.

"Your plans for future TV series."

Gong Yu said bluntly.

Guan Ling narrowed his eyes.

"You don't believe me?"

"How can that be possible? Others can only envy being able to work with Director Guan. But Director Guan, cinema movies are not like TV series. Video websites need sticky payment motivation that can be maintained continuously. In this regard, original dramas are hundreds of times stronger than movies."

Previously, Guan Ling had not invested in and produced many TV dramas, and Gong Yu was well aware that although the quality was extremely high, the number was small after all.

Even if there is a TV series like "Awakening Age" with online copyright, it is not enough. What's more, this kind of drama itself is not exciting enough, and the radiation range is still relatively low.

Guan Ling remained silent after hearing this.

He understood what Gong Yu said, that TV dramas are indeed much stronger in terms of their huge potential to attract paying users.

With the development of the Internet, people's demand for film and television consumption has shifted online, promoting the rapid development of online platforms.

Online dramas and online movies have lower costs, more flexible production, more diverse themes, and are also favored by video platforms.

"Let me think about it."

Inside the office, Guan Ling closed his eyes.

"What the hell?" Gong Yu was stunned, complaining in his heart, "I'm so crazy that I came here to kill you, what do you think?"

At one point, Gong Yu felt a little panicked, wondering if he had made a mistake by betting on Guan Ling.

The whole room was silent and Gong Yu seemed to be able to hear his own breathing.

Three minutes later, Guan Ling opened his eyes.

Then he took the paper and pen from the table,
Starting from "The Beginning", "Palace Lock Heart Jade", "Gujian Qitan", "Soul Ferry", "Signal", "My Love from the Star", "Kingdom", "Goblin", "Squid Game", "Money Road (Hanzawa Naoki)", "Unnatural Death", "Tang Dynasty Weird Stories", "Day and Night Chase", "Yu Zui", "Ghost Blowing Out the Light", "The Three-Body Problem", "Sito"...

Gong Yu watched Guan Ling's pen strokes moving across the paper. The sound was intermittent, and every stroke and every line struck his heart hard.

Gong Yu's heart trembled.

Then, his throat moved, and he looked at Guan Ling who had no intention of stopping writing.

"enough……"

Guan Ling didn't seem to hear it and continued writing.

"enough."

Gong Yu reminded him again, "Director Guan, I've said enough."

Guan Ling then raised his head, "Is that enough? I haven't finished writing yet!"

"That's enough! That's enough!"

At this time, beads of sweat had already appeared on Gong Yu's forehead, and he wiped them off.

"Are these all your inventory, Director Guan?"

Gong Yu asked carefully.

"As for the script, it's inventory. It's just that the director is short of people."

Guan Ling lay back and leaned against the back of the sofa.

Gong Yu didn't lie down. He felt like he was on edge.

I feel excited, nervous and full of imagination.

Guan Ling raised his head.

"Now it's your turn. I need your confidence."

Gong Yu swallowed his saliva. There was no need to hide anything at this time.

He looked at Guan Ling, "Baidu. Mr. Li from Baidu contacted me."

Guan Ling didn't react much.

This surprised Gong Yu quite a bit.

"Director Guan, aren't you surprised?"

"Unexpected, but not surprising."

Guan Ling sat up and pointed at the waterway on the table.

"Times are like a rolling torrent. In the video website sector, big capital will eventually go out of business."

What surprised him was that Baidu seemed to have intervened a little earlier than in his previous life.

But it is not surprising that Baidu made the same choice as him.

He even had a vague suspicion that the reason why Baidu chose iQiyi might have something to do with him.

The recent official announcement of his cooperation with iQiyi may have accelerated Baidu's actions.

As expected, Gong Yu said, "Boss Li wants to meet you and me. I'll be the host. Director Guan, would you please give me the honor?"

Guan Ling nodded slightly.

Gong Yu finally let go of his worries at this time. He looked at Guan Ling and said,

“Times are like a rolling torrent, but some people will eventually become history.”

"Speaking of history, I have another story I want to share with Mr. Gong."

"Director Guan can speak frankly."

"I have read the history of the founding of the People's Republic of China. There is a story in it that I would like to give to Mr. Gong."

Guan Ling told the story of Pang Guoxing.

Gong Yu was stunned when he heard this.

There was silence in the room for a long time. Finally, the conversation ended and Guan Ling stood up to see the guest off.

"No matter what, I can't lose anything." Guan Ling looked at Gong Yu, "You can tell President Li about this. I don't mind."

After walking out of Lingyun Media, Gong Yu looked up at the sign of Lingyun Media, which was shining brightly with golden light under the setting sun.

Guan Ling's words were still echoing in his ears.

"Not only did the enemy refuse to surrender, they dared to fight back at me!"

A new round of fighting is about to begin, with sea water on one side and fire on the other. Heroes from all walks of life are joining the game.

Guan Ling’s words are still ringing in my ears.

"I'm just too lazy to manage it, otherwise Lingyun Media could have launched its own video website. But Mr. Gong, that's not my intention. I have always advocated win-win cooperation and mutual benefit. But Mr. Li can't take what I deserve. The same goes for you."

At a certain moment, Gong Yu felt a chill in his heart.

It is happiness and fear.
