Chapter 396 Ship New Version
Although Davis does not understand the "affirmative action", he still understands the sand.
Introduce new forces to decentralize management power, slowly replace the original structure, and replace all the original directors.
As for why Davis wanted to replace these people?
The reasons are complicated. These people were brought in purely to monitor Chen Guangxia and ensure that Yiku.com would develop according to his wishes.
Before Davis met Qin Shaoyan, his performance in the investment department was not outstanding.
It wasn’t until someone introduced him to invest in Facebook and YouTube that Davis’ good luck came.
The results of Facebook and YouTube are very dazzling. Taking advantage of their unique types and first-mover advantages, coupled with advanced marketing concepts and correct strategic planning, these two emerging Internet companies have demonstrated impressive performance. Shock potential.
Especially YouTube, the explosive growth of users has attracted the attention of other Internet giants.
Even Bill Gates noticed the market potential of video websites. After he learned that Microsoft had participated in the investment, he asked Davis to report the relevant situation to him in person.
Since then, Davis has had more and more say in the investment department, and YouTube has become his biggest source of performance.
After that, he actively promoted YouTube to acquire Kuaibo.com, hoping to add to his performance.
As a result, Qvod.com refused to acquire and the plan failed. Davis had no choice but to accept Plan B proposed by Qin Shaoyan, which was to re-establish a new video website in mainland China and wait for the time to mature for acquisition.
But the candidate recommended by Qin Shaoyan made him very worried. After all, Chen Guangxia was once the CEO of Qvod.com and was Qin Shaoyan's right-hand man.
What if Yiku.com develops well and refuses to acquire it again?
In order to prevent things like Qvod.com from happening again, Davis had to place a large number of personnel in the new company to facilitate remote monitoring.
So when selecting personnel, loyalty and reliability are the first priority, followed by ability.
This has led to a relatively abstract consequence. These people are top-notch in workplace struggles, but they are just a little bit worse at their own jobs.
In the video website, where everything is competing, small websites with the same level of investment have better data than Yiku.com.
It’s not that Chen Guangxia didn’t work hard, it was really his teammates who were holding him back and engaging in internal strife. Yiku.com can’t be said to be thriving, it can also be said to be dying.
Davis didn't care about the life and death of Yiku.com before, but now he is in charge of YouTube. As a subsidiary in mainland China, Yiku.com's performance has become very important.
So Davis wants to get rid of all these people and replace them with people who are less fierce in internal fighting.
As for why these people are keen on engaging in internal fighting?
It's very simple. If they stop fighting among themselves, it will expose the truth about their incompetence.
So they have to fight among themselves desperately. Once the company's performance is not good, they will blame each other and blame each other. It is the other party's delay that prevents us from focusing all our energy on the company's business. It is not our inability.
Now Davis needs some fresh blood to promote his new strategy smoothly.
Of course, another important reason why Davis purged these people was that he was afraid that the secret operations and website data falsification during the acquisition of Yiku.com would be exposed.
And after Yiku.com, there are many operations such as interest exchange. He is afraid that these people will know too much, which will be very detrimental to him.
So "affirmative action" is a good thing.
The new Davis official needs three things to show off when he takes office, so "affirmative action" is a good gimmick.
Recruit a large number of female executives. These people should be very obedient and easy to control.
Davis left in a happy mood, leaving Zhang Chaoyang confused, but he was too embarrassed to ask.
It seems that Davis doesn’t care at all about Qvod.com opening up and sharing genuine resources for free.
Zhang Chaoyang suppressed his curiosity and prepared to continue discussing with Qin Shaoyan the next assessment standards of the "Anti-Piracy Alliance", how to supervise other websites to clean up pirated resources, and how to divide new membership levels.
Before he could speak, his cell phone rang. When he picked it up, he found that it was the editor-in-chief of Sohu News.
Zhang Chaoyang frowned and answered the phone, "What's the matter?"
"Mr. Zhang." The editor asked cautiously, "Have you finished the meeting?"
"It's over, what do you want? Hurry up, I have something else to do," Zhang Chaoyang said impatiently.
“Well, I want to verify something with you.” The editor immediately said, “I heard that Qvod.com will provide free genuine resources to all video websites. Is this true?”< br>
"Huh?" Zhang Chaoyang was shocked and asked, "Where did you hear about it?"
"Now there is news on the Internet, and there are quite a few. It is also said that Youku.com and Tudou.com will join the anti-piracy alliance." The editor-in-chief asked hesitantly, "Our editor has already started writing the article. I want to report to you first. , and then decide whether to publish it or not."
Zhang Chaoyang frowned, "These news are true, but don't publish the manuscript yet, I will give you some detailed inside information."
"Okay, okay." The editor-in-chief became delighted, "Then let's send out a warm-up message first."
"Okay." Zhang Chaoyang agreed casually.
After hanging up the phone, Zhang Chaoyang smiled bitterly and said to Qin Shaoyan, "Other video websites really can't wait for a moment. They started releasing news as soon as they came out of the conference room."
"This is related to their money future." Qin Shaoyan smiled, "They need to release good news quickly to stabilize advertisers, otherwise advertisers will withdraw from those video websites and they will have to wait for death."< br>
"Then I can't let them take it easy." Zhang Chaoyang snorted coldly, "I will ask Sohu News to publish a report in a while to explain the inside story clearly."
"I want to tell you Everyone, not all websites can enjoy the free genuine treatment. They must be reviewed by our anti-piracy alliance.”
Qin Shaoyan was noncommittal about this, “Then the next thing about the anti-piracy alliance will be a lot of hard work for Mr. Zhang. I have a lot to do, so I want to focus on the game.”
Zhang Chaoyang was a little curious, “How far is the development progress of your online game?”
"We are still sorting out the gameplay and sorting out the economic system, and the next few months will be the development of commercial gameplay." Qin Shaoyan thought for a while, "But we will soon launch an advertising video to warm up, and then Mr. Zhang will be able to see it. "
"Oh, they started advertising so soon." Zhang Chaoyang was a little surprised, "I'm looking forward to it. I hope to see a subversive new online game."
Qin Shaoyan clicked. Nodding, "You will see."
......
In a recording studio in Beijing.
There was a circle of people in the room, each holding a manuscript in their hands, with very strange and distorted expressions on their faces.
One of the people waved the paper in his hand and asked seriously: "Are you sure this is the plan?"
"Yes." Xia Lian sighed, "It's Qin The boss handed it to me personally."
Another person couldn't help but ask: "Did Mr. Qin get it wrong?"
"No way." Xia Lian felt helpless. , "I have repeatedly confirmed with him that I will not get the wrong one."
The first person to ask the question was a little nervous, "Where did Mr. Qin find such a crooked advertising company? Which mental hospital did this come from..."
Xia Lian coughed He groaned, "This word was written by Mr. Qin himself."
"Uh, Mr. Qin wrote it." The other party held it in for a long time, and then slowly said, "Don't say, this advertising slogan is not good enough." It's quite catchy."
"But I still think this is a bit inelegant. Why don't we persuade Mr. Qin to change the plan."
Xia Lian sneered, "Then go ahead. "Persuade Mr. Qin to see if he is willing to change?" "..." The other party was silent. It was a bit difficult to persuade Mr. Qin.
The dubbing artist poked his head out from next door and asked, "Hey, are we still recording?"
"Record it, hurry up." Xia Lian said immediately.
"Give me the lines." The dubbing actor took the manuscript and glanced at it. Then his expression was a little subtle. He glanced at everyone and shook his head. "It's confirmed, right? Then I'll start recording. Ah."
Xia Lian nodded, and everyone stood nearby and started to watch.
The dubbing artist took the manuscript and began to read the lines above seriously into the microphone.
"This is a new version of the ship that you have never played before!"
"The Taoist priest has fifteen dogs, and the whole area is walking sideways!"
"The mage has strong control, and the whole place is frosted in seconds!"
"The warrior output is high, and the fire sword explodes ten times!"
Everyone's expressions were a little tense.
Xia Lian, who had already prepared herself mentally, acted very calmly. She waited until the recording was finished, then took the recording sample and left.
Xia Lian drove straight to the campus network and personally delivered the recording sample to Mr. Qin.
After listening, Qin Shaoyan nodded with satisfaction, "Well, the momentum is very strong, almost like this. It's a pity that we can't invite a big-name star to do the advertisement."
Xia Lian was a little surprised, " Ah, why can't I invite you? Do you think it's too expensive? "
"It's not about money." Qin Shaoyan waved his hand, "It's a bit unlucky.
Xia Lian was very puzzled, why would it be unlucky to ask a big-name celebrity to do an advertisement?
Qin Shaoyan did not explain and began to ask Xia Lian, "How is the script of Which Mars Grows Potatoes? Have you found a suitable screenwriter?"
"Looking." Xia Lian thought for a while I couldn't help but said, "Mr. Qin, would you please consider this science fiction project again? There is no relevant experience and talent in China. It is too risky and the cost will be very high."
"This The project company has decided to do it." Qin Shaoyan didn't care at all, "It is precisely because there is no such genre in China that we have to develop and produce it. How can the entertainment market lack science fiction?"
" In the future, Qvod Film and Television will not only produce science fiction films, but also fairy tales and monster films, which require computer special effects.”
Xia Lian saw that she couldn't persuade Mr. Qin, so she accepted her fate and sighed, "Okay, please Mr. Qin to finish the novel "I Grow Potatoes on Mars" as soon as possible, so that the screenwriter can adapt it."
"Well, I'm already writing." Qin Shaoyan said perfunctorily.
“What about the spy drama script you told me about before?” Xia Lian couldn’t help but complain, “When do you plan to write it?”
“Well, I’ve already written part of it. "Qin Shaoyan took out a few pieces of paper from the drawer and handed them over, "Take a look." What about?”
"It's not finished yet." Qin Shaoyan explained with some embarrassment, "I've been busy with work recently and have no time to update."
Xia Lian was a little unhappy, "What should I do?! Everyone is waiting to see what's next. Well, if you don’t update it well, why don’t you finish writing such a good book quickly? "
"I think it's pretty good, the characters are distinct, the story has twists and turns and is suspenseful, and it can be filmed." Xia Lian thinks this project is good, and it seems that the production cost is not high. It is a pretty good project.
"Then I'll leave this project to you." Qin Shaoyan ordered, "I will complete all the scripts and hand them over to you as soon as possible."
Xia Lian thought for a while and asked tentatively: "Which one has higher priority, the spy war drama or the science fiction drama?" Start with the basics first." Qin Shaoyan warned again, "Although science fiction drama is a long-term project, you should always think about it and pay more attention to talents to see if you can recruit them."
"Quick broadcast movie Video companies cannot always co-produce with others, we must also build our own production team and recruit talents from all aspects.”
“An excellent production team is more important than stars. Qvod Film and Television Company will focus on production in the future. "
"By the way, you can recruit more talents in film and television costumes, makeup, props, etc., from mainland China, definitely not from Hong Kong and Taiwan."
Qin Shaoyan was unhappy when he mentioned this. In the past, the domestic costume culture was quite good. The costumes in costume dramas were very sophisticated and the aesthetics were more traditional. However, after people from the Hong Kong industry came, all the film and television dramas became killer. The styling is great, but the clothes are eye-catching and cheap, as if they were buying sheets.
Since then, the entertainment industry's service system has been collapsing. Later, there were even a lot of cases of replacing Chinese with Japanese, and the costumes and scenery became increasingly Japanese.
Of course, this is not just a problem with the design of Fuhua Road. This is obviously promoted deliberately by someone.
Qin Shaoyan must make up his mind to rectify this phenomenon. Even if he is unable to do so now, he must retain the relevant talents to prevent all film and television dramas from collapsing.
Xia Lian took out her notebook and quickly wrote down Qin Shaoyan's words, feeling a little strange in her heart.
Mr. Qin seemed to be very unhappy with the people in Hong Kong, but she didn't ask any more questions. She just followed Mr. Qin's instructions.
Xia Lian then asked a few more questions, discussed the approximate production budget of "Latent" with Qin Shaoyan, and then left in a hurry.
Qin Shaoyan picked up the recording sample and asked the driver to drive him to the game company's secret research and development base.
As soon as he entered the door, he threw the USB disk containing the recording sample to the art director Hong Fei, "Edit this dubbing into the game trailer. Do you know anything about video editing?"
"Yes." Hong Fei immediately agreed, "I will make arrangements right away."
"Okay, let's cut out a first edition today, and let's all take a look at it together." Qin Shaoyan then said, "Where is Zhang Tianshi? Where is he?"
"I have been busy in the small room inside for several days. ." Hong Fei said as he led Qin Shaoyan into a separate small room.
There is a long table in the small room with five computers placed on it, and several artists are busy.
Zhang Pingyi stood behind an artist and continued to point at the computer screen.
Qin Shaoyan and Hong Fei also moved forward, and then Hong Fei pointed out, "If you move six pixels to the left, the upper and lower borders will be crooked."
When I checked the UI artist's tool, I was shocked. It was indeed six pixels off.
Zhang Tianshi glanced at Qin Shaoyan and said hello, "You're here. The new version of Plants vs. Zombies isn't ready yet."
"I'm not here to see the progress. ." Qin Shaoyan said casually, "You can get it done before the end of the year."
Hong Fei next to him was a little surprised, "Don't we have to wait for some festival event to do this? Isn't Steam urging us?"
"What's so exciting about this? Our new version It’s not like going to steam,” Qin Shaoyan said casually.
"Ah, not using Steam?" Hong Fei was a little puzzled, "Then what channel?"
"There is no channel, this version, just put it online for free." Qin Shaoyan replied.
