After all of them were reborn, who would still be an actor?

Chapter 34 Internet Tycoons

"where to play?"

"Wait..." Yang Mi took out her phone and saw that it was a message from Yuan Hong. "Yuan Hong just got off the plane. He wants to treat us to dinner tonight."

"I do not want to go……"

"why?"

Liu Shishi opened her mouth, but swallowed her words back.

Yang Mi was very smart and knew there was a story behind it at first glance. After some questioning, Liu Shishi stammered and told her the reason.

"If he likes you, it's his business. If you don't like you, just say it directly." Yang Mi said.

"But……"

"Don't say but. Men's love is cheap. They may say they love you in front of you, but who knows who they are sleeping with behind your back."

"All right……"

"Men in the entertainment industry are not reliable. Love is like a joke and should not be taken seriously."

"You are so prejudiced against men. What do you think of Li Mingyang?"

"He doesn't like you."

"..."

"I mean it."

Liu Shishi felt very uncomfortable and didn't want to pay any more attention to Yang Mi. She planned to lock her out tonight.

"Li Mingyang has a girlfriend."

"Didn't we break up?"

"Even if they broke up, you can still get her back! He's not afraid of Huayi's confidence, because that's her ex-girlfriend."

Liu Shishi's face was full of question marks.

"In short, the financial backer behind her girlfriend is very powerful and can control the movie schedule."

"what!"

"He wants to be famous so badly that he's almost going crazy. Everyone is a pawn. Don't be so stupid as to think he's a good guy. He's the worst!"

"..."

I feel like you two look alike...

……

Yanbei, Huayi headquarters.

"I found out that Liu Yifei doesn't want to work with that guy at all. She wants to buy the script and find another big director to shoot it." Wang Xiaolei laughed.

"A pair of idiots, only Director Feng can film a love story like a bouquet of flowers!" Wang Dajun said coldly.

"No, Director Feng still wants to shoot?"

"We must satisfy Director Feng's needs."

"This is not going to be easy! That guy is determined to go against us. We have gathered all the people except Liu Yifei."

"It's fine if he can't take the photo. If he can't get the filming permit, how can he expect to take photos with his face?"

"Um... no more review?"

"If he really makes a good movie, what if Old Han becomes interested in his talent and wants to be a peacemaker?"

"How is that possible? He is so young."

"We are at a critical moment now. There can't be any accidents. Do as I say."

"Do you want to contact Liu Yifei again?"

"It's a pity for Liu Yifei, but the Beijing community has already formed a tacit understanding... Let's talk about it after we go public."

"No way! Big brother! Lao Chen is trying to attract investment in Hong Kong and has already contacted Lao Yang. If we don't take action, she will probably go to the Hong Kong circle!"

"A bunch of scum, nothing to be afraid of." Wang Dajun adjusted his glasses, a deep coldness evident behind them.

……

When it comes to video sites, BAT entered the market very late, at least 10 years later.

When video websites were first created, everyone aimed to overthrow the four major portals. But when they really started, they found that the text and beautiful photos of the four major portals took up very little bandwidth, while the videos took up a lot.

No one expected that bandwidth, servers, and traffic would be so expensive that user growth would become a burden. All companies are competing for money and resources to attract investment.

The more you throw, the scarier it becomes.

However, no one is willing to leave. The answer to the video industry has been given abroad: everyone is tightening their belts and rushing forward.

Finally, in 2008, the video industry ushered in its first famine wave.

PPTV spent more than 20 million to buy the online broadcasting rights for the Yanbei Olympics. It originally thought that after the Olympics, it would use the beautiful data to raise funds, but it never expected to encounter the financial crisis.

I didn't get back the agreed 2000 million US dollars, but I did get back a penalty of US dollars.

All video websites are crying.

Only Youku is laughing.

Thanks to the popularity of its self-produced drama "Diaosi Nanren", Youku received a lot of advertising fees, among which the advertising fees from Coca-Cola made Youku stand out from the crowd.

The success of Youku has made countless people jealous. Those who have the ability and funds have started to produce their own dramas, while those who have no money have started to organize video production competitions and live shows.

However, a month has passed, and even Youku itself cannot handle the delicious cake of self-produced dramas.

Youku's mass-produced self-produced dramas either have the producers run away with the money and the dramas are never seen again, or the quality is so poor that no one watches them.

Either the film and television companies raise the prices arbitrarily, or they are caught in a dilemma.

There are even projects on record where there is not even a single person in the crew, which are empty projects.

After spending three million, the company was in chaos and the video website didn't even make a splash.

Even so, Youku still has no plans to bring Li Mingyang back.

Everyone in the company, including the big boss, is afraid of being cheated by outsiders. They all think that self-produced dramas should be produced by the company itself, not outsiders, and this money can be regarded as tuition fees.

Going back to the original intention, the content of daily meetings within Youku is to take ready-made loser men, copy them, shoot them, and use the cheapest method to produce high-quality traffic-generating films.

This is no secret in the video industry. Some people laugh at it, some mock it, and some envy it.

Some people wish Youku would die soon.

This person is none other than Zhang Chaoyang, the head of Sohu.

Gong Yu, Gu Yongqiang, Li Shanyou and Wang Jianjun were all once employees of Sohu and were Zhang Chaoyang's apprentices.

It is really not easy for Zhang Chaoyang, who is determined to make Sohu Video a success.

In 2005, Sohu President Gu Yongqiang left and later founded Youku.

In 2006, Sohu's senior vice president Li Shanyou left and went to work for Ku6.

In 2007, Sohu's senior vice president Wang Jianjun also left and went to 56.com.

In 2008, while still a senior vice president, Gong Yu ran away and later founded iQiyi.

Other people's senior vice presidents are very conscious and always leave some food for their masters.

When it was Sohu's turn, apart from giving Zhang Chaoyang the title of "Video Huangpu Military Academy", they continued to scramble for food and fight as usual.

Why are the presidents of Sohu all particularly keen on the video industry?
Of course it’s because the master taught me well.

In 2000, when the two Ma's were still determining their life direction, Sohu, founded by Zhang Chaoyang, had already been listed on NASDAQ in the United States.

Afterwards, he made a name for himself in the gaming industry.

After completing a series of feats in portal websites, gaming industry, etc., Zhang Chaoyang turned his attention to the video industry.

Zhang Chaoyang's confidence in the video industry has given his apprentices hope and opportunities.

Sohu Video was founded in late 2004 and is the first of the four major portals to launch online video services.

However, due to reputation reasons, Sohu Video cannot use piracy to attract traffic unscrupulously, and its development is not ideal.

So all the disciples ran away and quickly trampled their master under their feet by using pirated products.

Among them, Youku is the most popular.

BAT has not entered the market yet.

The most powerful giants in the video industry are not Youku and Tudou.

But Sohu!

Zhang Chaoyang was eager to recruit talented people and called Li Mingyang more than once, hoping to work with him.

The last time I called, I had already set the conditions for Li Mingyang to set up a studio specifically for producing self-produced dramas for Sohu.
