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

Chapter 606: Go with the flow, iQiyi, Youku and Tencent compete for supremacy
9 month 4 day.

On this day, the wind was calm and the sun was beautiful, with no clouds in the sky.

Gong Yu felt extremely depressed.

Li Mingyang actually threatened him!

What he hated most was being threatened, but Li Mingyang's threats hit him sorely that he had no choice but to obey.

Li Mingyang is very sharp in judging people!

I can see that the current person in charge of Penguin Video is a fool...

iQiyi's biggest competitors are Youku and Penguin Video.

As a former colleague, Gong Yu knows Lao Gu, the head of Youku, very well. Lao Gu is good at finance but not good at business operations.

The guy surnamed Liu from Penguin Video is even funnier. Besides plagiarizing, he just takes advantage of others...

Gong Yu was happy that the two major opponents were so weak, but he was also very worried that Xiao Ma Ge would find out something and replace the person in charge of Penguin Video.

Li Mingyang threatened to report Liu Chunning and forced him to cooperate.

Penguin Video will definitely change its leader, but the longer it can be delayed, the better.

Now is a critical moment in the development of iQiyi, and Gong Yu does not want Penguin Video to change its leader from the bottom of his heart.

Both opponents are colored pens, how comfortable!

The business car drove into the inner ring of Huashu Entertainment and stopped in the internal parking space.

When Gong Yu got out of the car, he saw several familiar cars.

Wang Changtian and Boss Zhao are both here.

Gong Yu took the internal elevator straight up to the sixth floor. As soon as he got out of the elevator, he saw the hideous smiling faces of Wang Changtian and Boss Zhao.

"Boss Gong, you are finally here."

"Mr. Gong, please come this way."

The two men stood on his left and right, saying flattering words, but Gong Yu was not happy at all. He originally wanted to take advantage of the situation and did not think about the consequences at all.

Many people thought that Li Mingyang was raising funds to develop in Korea, but Gong Yu didn’t think so!

Li Mingyang became an external director of CJ. As long as FBTV obtains the film and television copyrights of CJ Entertainment, it will penetrate Korean entertainment.

It’s not about the money anymore.

Wang Changtian cashed out 1.8 billion, but he has no use in Korea...

The battlefield Li Mingyang chose is domestic!

Dragging him into the water is the best proof.

Everyone came to the conference room to meet with Li Mingyang.

After Gong Yu sat down, he lit a cigar and said directly: "I am only responsible for the sugar man. I don't want to get involved in other things, and I have no interest in getting involved."

Li Mingyang took off his sunglasses, his eyes were bloodshot, and he grinned, "Boss Gong is a quick talker. Okay, I promise here that apart from the sugar man, Boss Gong doesn't need to interfere in other matters."

Li Mingyang's credibility is a bit low. He is so straightforward, there must be fraud. Gong Yu said cautiously: "If the sugar man is listed, how much can I get?"

"How much does Mr. Gong want?"

"It can't be less than 5%. I'm just investing in individual stocks."

"Why is Mr. Gong so conservative this time? It doesn't suit your style."

"What if I take too much and scare others away?"

The most important thing for a film and television company is people. If you don’t tie people to the company and they run away, it’s like throwing money down the drain.

"Cai Yinong will not give up the golden signboard of Sugar Man." Li Mingyang lit a cigarette, sat next to Gong Yu, and started to deceive people.

With just a wave of his hand, Li Mingyang has withdrawn his shares from Zheng Dalong's studio, and it is now just registered under the name of Huahua Entertainment.

Although he withdrew his shares, Li Mingyang was able to convince Zheng Dalong to join iQiyi.

Pies in the sky!
Gong Yu was knocked unconscious.

He put down his crossed legs and said seriously, "You won't lie to me..."

"Director Zheng is downstairs shopping with his wife. Once we have finalized the deal, he will come up and sign the contract immediately."

"M&A?"

"Customized drama, you pay for him to make the drama, and the copyright belongs to you."

Reasonable.

Gong Yu also couldn't believe that a big director like Zheng Dalong would join iQiyi. The custom drama company was more in line with his interests.

Huace can’t even be called a customization company...iQiyi doesn’t even have the right of first refusal, it all goes to the highest bidder.

And it’s still a drama!

Gong Yu really admires Zheng Dalong, the phenomenal Legend of Zhen Huan! This drama has been broadcast from last year to this year, and it has become more and more popular...

FBTV was able to gain a foothold in Korea thanks to "Empresses in the Palace" and "Scarlet Heart".

"No problem, I won't treat Director Zheng unfairly." Gong Yu glanced at the smiling Boss Zhao. Knowing that there was a trap, he still jumped in.

It is really rare to find a TV drama master like Zheng Dalong.

"Then it's settled."

"That's a deal."

Li Mingyang called Zheng Dalong immediately, and in less than ten minutes, Zheng Dalong and his wife came to see Gong Yu with the prepared contract.

The contract details are very comprehensive. Zheng Dalong is fully responsible for production, and iQiyi is only responsible for paying.

There is not only a gambling agreement, but also a non-compete agreement.

No matter how you look at it, it's a big profit. Gong Yu was about to sign but was stopped by Li Mingyang.

Li Mingyang played his second card. Huashu Entertainment undertook to produce an online movie for iQiyi. The two parties signed a three-year online movie contract worth 600 million yuan.

"Six hundred million... one hundred million is the most." Gong Yu had little confidence in Huazhu Entertainment's ability to control itself, but he didn't dismiss it outright. He just thought of it as spending one hundred million on a scratch card.

"It's just 600 million. I'll make up for the loss."

“Revenue?”

“Net profit!”

Guaranteed profit without loss!
Gong Yu was shocked and couldn't help but look at the others again. They were all laughing...

"Okay, I accept this agreement." Gong Yu raised his hand to stop Li Mingyang from playing cards. "You've given me so many benefits, I'm a little scared. Be direct and tell me your requirements. I think it's about right. Let's finalize the contract today."

Li Mingyang pressed Gong Yu's hand and said with a smile: "Don't worry, we will talk slowly."

"..."

Li Mingyang continued to play cards, the third card, the China-Korea Bouquet Plan.

Li Mingyang invited iQiyi to join.

This plan was given great importance and Gong Yu gladly accepted it since he didn't have to spend any money and could still get some popularity.

Before Gong Yu came, he held the principle of only making sugar figures and not interfering in anything else.

But the cards Li Mingyang played were all too good.

It made him very excited. If the negotiation failed today, he would not be able to forgive himself.

Gong Yu listened patiently to Li Mingyang's nonsense.

He has decided to fall into this trap, and no one can stop him.

dong dong...

Just as Gong Yu was listening intently, there was a knock on the door, and then Zhang Wei pushed the door open, followed by Bai Bin.

Originally, Gong Yu didn't take the two women seriously.

Unexpectedly, Li Mingyang changed the subject and said, "Mr. Gong, I think iQiyi is lacking a person who really knows the business. You don't really know the business either, otherwise you wouldn't have believed Wang Dajun's lies and kicked me out as the person in charge of Running Man. Later, I tricked them into vomiting blood. You ended up losing more than you gained."

It has been a long time since anyone in the domestic entertainment industry dared to confront Gong Yu so directly.

Gong Yu smiled faintly, "Let's not talk about this, let's not talk about it, we are best partners now."

This incident can be said to be the biggest shame Gong Yu has experienced since he entered the industry.

If Mr. Li had not participated in the decision-making at the time, it is hard to say whether Gong Yu could have kept his position.

This was the thing he was most reluctant to mention.

However, Li Mingyang had no intention of letting Gong Yu go. He just kept rubbing salt into Gong Yu's wounds.

Gong Yu was so angry that his face looked very bad.

Li Mingyang pretended not to see it and said with a smile: "Boss Gong, do you know Zhang Meng? She is the most beautiful Concubine Yu in the myth."

Gong Yu took out his phone and searched Baidu. He took a look at the other person's photo and frowned, saying, "I have some impression of this woman."

"The girlfriend of Lü Chao, the general manager of Shanghai Film Group Yinghuang... Because of the Academy Awards, Shanghai Film Group has stopped all projects of this company. Lü Chao is going to start a new company and work alone."

"Lü Chao came to see me. Zhang Meng was there too. This woman... is quite talkative."

"Zhang Meng is knowledgeable, has strong execution capabilities, and is well-known, which is very similar to Bai Bin." Li Mingyang called Bai Bin over with a smile.

Bai Bin walked over gracefully, smiled and stretched out his hand to greet Gong Yu.

Gong Yu stood up, shook hands with Bai Bin with a smile, and then sat down.

This is recognition of Shirahama's ability.

The two had come into contact many times when Shirahama was the general manager of Huabu Video.

He was deeply impressed by Shirahama's clear thinking.

Not an empty-headed vase.

"Mr. Gong, what iQiyi lacks most is talents like Bai Bin. With her, iQiyi will surpass Youku in no time!" said Li Mingyang.

"What do you mean?" Gong Yu frowned slightly.

"Help you!"

"I understand, I understand." Gong Yu was unwilling to accept Bai Bin.

iQiyi does lack knowledgeable people in the field, including himself, who does not particularly understand the field.

But Shirahama, he didn't want it.

However, he had to refuse. All the benefits Li Mingyang had given Bai Bin before were premised on Bai Bin joining iQiyi and taking the position of vice president.

If Gong Yu doesn't accept Bai Bin, then there's no point in talking about cooperation.

These words confused Gong Yu.

He pulled Li Mingyang outside and said speechlessly: "If you don't trust me, you can send Zhang Wei over, or Li Ming will do. We can't afford Bai Bin."

"Don't worry, she won't cause any trouble." Li Mingyang grinned and handed Gong Yu a cigarette. "As the saying goes, trust people when you employ them, and don't employ people if you don't trust them. If you are not satisfied with her, you can sideline her or let her go to film."

"As for filming... I think her agent is with Yinghuang. It doesn't seem to be of any benefit to you."

"Liu Shishi's agency contract has nothing to do with me. I will still support her..."

You kidnapped someone! Cai Yinong wants to chop you to pieces!
Gong Yu took Huazi and smoked a whole cigarette, but he still couldn't figure out what harm this would do to him.

Shirahama is quite famous. IQiyi is a video platform, and it is profitable to have a female star help to promote a drama.

Yinghuang didn't dare to offend him.

I really can't see what the harm is, at worst I can just put it aside and not use it.

Compared with Li Mingyang's tangible benefits, Bai Bing is insignificant and poses almost no threat.

Just like that, under Li Mingyang's deception, Gong Yu signed a draft agreement with Huashu Entertainment.

Not only did he get the powerful general Zheng Dalong, but he also made a bet and invested in Huabou Entertainment, obtaining a 6% stake and participating in the China-Korea Huabou Project.

The valuation of 100 billion is indeed a bit outrageous, but the repurchase terms ensure a profit.

But Shirahama felt a little uncomfortable.

The next day, Gong Yu brought Bai Bin to iQiyi's Shanghai branch, preparing to drop Bai Bin off in Shanghai.

After a night of careful consideration, Gong Yu decided to abandon Bai Bin.

I would rather keep him with a high salary than use it.

Gong Yu made up his mind, however, when the meeting started, the topic of selecting a cooperative film and television company came up.

Bai Bin is really knowledgeable. She analyzed the major domestic film and television companies in a clear and logical manner with sharp words, leaving all those who questioned her speechless.

At that time, Gong Yu felt that even if he threw Bai Bin to the Magic World, it would be useless. He held the position of vice president and was eloquent and knew more about the business than him.

It can't be empty at all.

End of the meeting.

Gong Yu stayed alone and locked himself in the conference room, thinking about how to arrange for Bai Bin.

Thinking from day to night, Gong Yu was worried about gains and losses and felt very difficult.

Just when he was about to set up a new company and throw Bai Bin in to completely sideline him.

The secretary came in and reported to him.

I heard that many male and female senior executives of the Shanghai branch were surrounding Bai Bin and were completely bewitched by him, so they believed whatever Bai Bin said.

One of them is even a vice president.

Gong Yu was furious.

After more than three years in the entertainment industry, Gong Yu has become completely disenchanted with female stars.

But others can't...

The halo of a female star can confuse the company's top management, and it is even more of a dimensionality reduction attack on the middle and lower levels.

After Gong Yu calmed down, he called the head office's administrative manager directly and asked him to find a reason to fire the vice president.

"It's six o'clock now. Tell them I'll treat you to dinner tonight. Book a table at a high-end restaurant nearby."

"Mr. Chen has already made the arrangements in advance, but the one who made the decision is Bai Bin," the secretary said jealously.

"You don't like her very much?"

"Beauty is the root of trouble. She is the root of trouble."

"Li Mingyang gave me a difficult problem..."

……

The problem that Gong Yu faces is exactly the same problem that Li Mingyang encounters.

The difference is that Li Mingyang already knows the solution.

In the TV series Myth, all the female stars are tough!
Bai Bin, Zhang Meng, Chen Zihan and Jin Sha are the four beauties of myth.

Chen Zihan uses her beauty to please men and her reputation has spread far and wide, and all kinds of large-scale photos of her are available online.

The reason she was able to join the mythical group was because of sleeping.

Although they all sleep, Bai Bin and Zhang Meng are fundamentally different from her.

Zhang Meng is the woman of the general manager of Shanghai Film Group Yinghuang, and a relative of the general manager.

Shirahama is the one that Yinghuang strongly supports.

Jin Sha is a highly praised star in the Shanghai circle. She debuted as a child star, became a famous singer, and was the school beauty of the sky at the age of 18.

When she was famous...Hu Ge was still playing supporting roles.

In essence, Bai Bin and Zhang Meng are of the same type, both are gorgeous women, both are scheming and have strong execution abilities.

Backed by a big company, with a broad vision.

He has a good understanding of the entertainment industry, which is a big melting pot. He knows its ins and outs and is willing to take risks.

It’s just that Bai Bin was trapped by Ying Huang, and Zhang Meng became the boss lady of Yaoke Media.

Zhang Meng is really in love with Lu...

Behind Yaoke Media are Alibaba and Penguin.

Li Mingyang and Zhang Meng have had contact many times. She really doesn't treat others as outsiders. Exposing her entire back is a routine operation, and bending over to expose her cherries is also commonplace.

He's a green man!

However, these are generally business partners, where marriage binds interests together, and then each person goes about his or her own business.

Different from Bai Bing who planned before taking action, Zhang Meng relied on playing dumb and acting recklessly.

Li Mingyang’s plan for Baibin was actually based on Zhang Meng.

What made Li Mingyang speechless was that Bai Bin was smarter than Zhang Meng.

Being too clever, he outsmarted himself. He really thought that if he could escape from Yinghuang, he could control his own destiny.

The domestic entertainment industry is undergoing a great transformation.

Those who can stand in front of the stage and be known to the public are the leaders in the industry.

The right time, right place, and right people are all essential...

There is no simple one.

Of course, "small success depends on promotion, big success depends on luck." Some people become famous just by luck!
For example, who would have thought that Zhao Liying would become so famous without any background?
Zhao Baozi only looks good in front of people, but he is very miserable behind the scenes.

That treatment is far inferior to that of other 85 flowers.

There's a bunch of people sucking blood behind the scenes, and none of them are easy to deal with... He didn't make much money at all... And the supporting actors stole the spotlight. Our Glamorous Time and Princess Agents are both like this.

Later, I found a backer and had a child, and then the situation improved.

Things were not going well at first. When I was filming You Fei, I was overwhelmed by Wang Yibo and was attacked by his fans.

If this matter happened to Guangguang... Lehua's Du Hua didn't dare to breathe, and had to ask Wang Yibo to apologize overnight.

After all, Du Hua's first cash cow was badly slandered by Wang Changtian, and she went from being a top star to a joke, and her image plummeted.

Wang Changtian is very good at trolling people, and many people have fallen into his hands. The most famous ones are the mute lady Huang Shengyi and the returning top star Han Geng.

They were all knocked down from the top.

In the future of domestic entertainment, the new generation of young actors and actresses will be supported by capital, and there are not many who have brains...

A tool for training steel using big data.

It is not like that now. Jinsha, the most "innocent" of the four beauties of Shinhwa, can play with all the 95 flowers.

If Gong Yu dares to use Bai Bin, who is familiar with the film and television industry and all kinds of crooked ways, everyone in the domestic entertainment industry will vomit blood!

Does Gong Yu dare to use it?

Based on Li Mingyang's understanding of him, he will hesitate, but he will definitely use it in the end!
By then, the domestic entertainment industry will be a bloody storm!
Baibin is the 'big gift' that Li Mingyang gave to everyone in the domestic entertainment industry!
Especially the Hong Kong circle!
The Korean wave that iQiyi is connected to has no interest in the Hong Kong circle.

Once Bai Bin gains a foothold in iQiyi, he will definitely snatch back his agency contract!

Does Yinghuang dare to offend iQiyi?
That's definitely not something I dare to do!

Baidu is the largest Internet company second only to Penguin!
One of the three major domestic entertainment venues!

iQiyi is destined to become the leader in mainland China's streaming media, and this is irreversible.

Gong Yu is the person who understands the gameplay of long videos the best and is the best at layout and innovation in China, no doubt about it.

Since the situation cannot be reversed, it is better to go with the flow and let Baibin help iQiyi fly faster and surpass Youku faster!

This will trigger the battle between iQiyi, Youku and Tencent Video in advance!

The turning point of the competition between iQiyi, Youku and Tencent Video was when iQiyi overtook Youku through "My Love from the Star" and became the number one streaming media platform in China with a market share exceeding that of Youku.

Alibaba immediately began to acquire Youku!

Not long after, Alibaba acquired Dongda Culture Media, became the controlling shareholder, and changed the name to Alibaba Pictures.

From then on, Ali stepped out from behind the scenes and officially stepped onto the stage.

The battle between iQiyi, Youku and Tencent Video for supremacy, the era of traffic has officially begun!
As big Internet capitals, the revenue of any one of iQiyi, Youku and Tencent Video crushes the entire domestic entertainment industry.

It's simply a dimensionality-reduction attack on the entertainment industry.

However, iQiyi, Youku and Tencent Video did not have an easy time in the domestic entertainment industry during those years.

This is a turbulent history of compromise and collusion.

When competing for market share, everyone can ignore the gains and losses.

Once the market is captured, we still have to look at revenue and rely on data.

The interests of iQiyi, Youku, Tencent Video and domestic entertainment are completely inconsistent, so they started fighting right away!
I guess iQiyi, Youku and Tencent Video never imagined that they would lose so badly and be screwed over by domestic entertainment...the higher-ups are taking sides.

Since then, iQiyi, Youku and Tencent Video have changed their strategies from blindly pushing forward to boiling the frog in warm water.

The entertainment industry is very special. There are too many powerful departments involved, and BAT dares not mess with any of them.

Brother Ma doesn't dare to cause trouble at all, Jack Ma is only concerned about himself.

Baidu is not good at anything and everything it does is useless.

But in the long video field, iQiyi has done a really good job, and it has been very aggressive... Various extreme operations were carried out, and finally the above-mentioned companies were forced to invest in iQiyi, with a shareholding ratio of 0.9999%.

This share is very mysterious, using both carrot and stick. They are afraid that iQiyi will give up, but they also warn iQiyi not to cross the line.

If Juanjuan can come out again under TSLS, it will be a victory for capital.

The moral standards above have caused BAT to suffer heavy losses...

In addition, due to the poor film and television environment, the higher-ups compromised and turned a blind eye to artists with less serious offenses and backlog projects with limited content risks.

The most important prerequisite for bringing down Huayi is that BAT cannot interfere.

Only by pushing BAT into the battlefield of streaming media can he have a chance to compete head-on with Huayi!

buzzing...

The phone on the table vibrated. Li Mingyang picked it up and laughed out loud, then raised his hand to signal others not to speak.

Li Mingyang answered the phone, said "hmm" a few times and hung up.

Wang Changtian asked curiously, "Who's calling? You're smiling so happily."

"Zhang Chaoyang, he agreed to cooperate."

……
