The adaptation of ancient literature from the Dragon Kingdom has never stopped.
Although people's lives at that time were not as rich as they are now, it was precisely because they did not have mobile phones, computers, and various electronic devices every day, but it was also the absence of these nightlife that gave them more imagination.
Journey to the West, The Romance of the Gods, etc., these are all excellent mythological works that have long been put on the screen.
However, for many people, although mythological stories such as Journey to the West are wonderful, they are just for fun.
In addition, the pictures taken before were not very good, so although it is a classic, it is not unique.
Like Liaozhai, a large part of it is close to ancient life, and there are also some theories about ghosts and gods, which are also refreshing.
It has been adapted into many movies and TV series before, such as the classic "A Chinese Ghost Story" and so on.
That was also the time when Hong Kong movies were at their most glorious.
In this way, the theater will be opened up!
"Is it possible to shoot web dramas in the same way as movies?"
Liu Shishi suddenly said something naughty, and also imitated classic lines from Zhou Xingchi's movies.
"It is certain that there will be progress, but this requires the construction of a huge platform, a paid platform. When I come back, I can enrich it more."
Su Yi was also inspired and had an idea in his mind.
Online dramas are now gradually maturing, but most of the cooperation platforms are traditional online videos.
These platforms have many disadvantages, and the share of revenue is ridiculously high. In order to attract more people to watch at the beginning, they have to reduce the original author and copyright fees to maintain the stability of the website. Later, in order to attract more people to come, Providing copyrights, starting to continuously increase membership fees, or constantly adding new rights to members' rights, making old users feel abandoned.
After becoming a member, there are still advertisements, which need to be closed manually. There is even a way for super members to order in advance - almost all platforms are the same, which is to see if the food looks ugly.
This is not a benign development. Although it can make a lot of money in a short period of time, in the long run, being worse than the best is not the best choice.
Moreover, these platforms often need to litigate and so on, which is very troublesome.
If you want to develop, you have to think about these things. If Liu Shishi wants to be in this industry, he must be the best.
It is not convenient for Su Yi to do many things in person, but after all, Liu Shishi is not his wife yet, and she is still free, and it does not involve any violation of discipline.
"A platform?"
Liu Shishi was a little stunned, because the current online video platform companies seem to be saturated.
It’s even a bit much. For example, iQiyi, which was established in 2010, has completed its integration with PPS.
Youku, which acquired rival company Tudou, is also flexing its muscles.
LeTV is promoting its own mobile APP and short video playback, etc.
It can be said that Youaiteng is the first echelon, and LeTV, Sohu, etc. are the second echelon.
Basically it has occupied the entire market.
Some second-tier companies are struggling to support, and if they are inserted into their war at this time, it seems to be a bit of a loss.
Although Su Yi and Liu Shishi are rich, Liu Shishi also understands the theory of local snakes.
Moreover, this industry is very expensive. Maintenance of software, installation of servers, staffing, and continuous attracting attention
After this series of operations, if there is no 2 billion, there is no way to get it done.
And it is estimated that the 2 billion is still a starting point. If you want to make him famous, you will have to continue to burn money.
Although Su Yi had filmed many works before, at that time Su Yi was only a director and not a producer.
Most of the copyrights are not in your own hands. A good video platform must have most of the video resources and some exclusive resources to survive.
So many well-known platforms have collapsed or been acquired.
Is it too risky for them to enter now?
And even though the two of them were rich, they couldn't spend it all at once.
This seems like a bit of a gamble.
When Liu Shishi heard this, he was moved and a little worried at the same time.
She knows Su Yi's style of doing things, either she won't do it, or she will be the first!
There never seems to be a second time.
Su Yi also seemed to be interested. This idea had not always existed, but the sudden idea made him suddenly enlightened.
"Yes, the source of the film is indeed a problem. For many movies or TV series, it will be very expensive to buy the copyright. If you don't buy the copyright, you will not have the right to play it, and you will only burn money in the early stage."
Su Yi nodded lightly.
"But as long as it is something Shi Shi wants to do, I will do my best to help. We are so young, and we have a house and a car. I am still a civil servant and a leader, so I have nothing to worry about."
Su Yi saw Liu Shishi getting a little nervous and serious, and smiled and comforted him a few words.
Then he came over and held Liu Shishi's hand.
The place where the two of them ate was rarely luxurious. Even though it was a candlelight dinner, there was a huge floor-to-ceiling window next to it. The lights below and the busy traffic could be seen clearly.
Visually, it gives people the feeling of conquering the city.
When he came here for the first time, Su Yi sighed, no wonder rich people are willing to come to a place like this to enjoy themselves.
Even if you are not accompanied by a beautiful woman, it is still a kind of enjoyment to look down quietly.
The high floors seem to leave no secrets in the entire city.
"Our starting point is too high. Even if we fail this time, there is still a chance to start over. It just so happens that I still can't find the meaning of hard work."
After hearing Su Yi's comfort, Liu Shishi nodded. She just didn't want her senior to fall into the possibility of failure for her.
"It's a pity that the seniors can't participate directly, otherwise, even just by virtue of their reputation, they can instantly attract many works to be played on the platform."
Liu Shishi winked mischievously, and then wiped the corners of his mouth gracefully.
These two movements should have been seen on two types of girls, but when Liu Shishi performed these movements, they were natural and did not feel artificial at all.
"My face... is just to benefit them. Otherwise, I wouldn't have given me 'face' like this. You have to shoot this Liaozhai first, and then I will probably give you directions and introduce a few people." It’s like a unit play when two directors come together.”
After Su Yi thought for a while, the plan had already taken shape in his mind.
He wants to be the Netflix of Dragon Kingdom!
Netflix!
Now Netflix has begun to show its power and is ranked among the top ten Internet companies in the world!
The market value has reached an astonishing more than 100 billion US dollars!
Second only to Tencent!
You know, this is a streaming media platform that relies solely on membership subscriptions!
Tencent includes many businesses, including video, software dating, games, live broadcast and other platforms.
Netflix relies on its huge membership to achieve such a scale.
This is also due to the amazing number of Netflix members and the quality of its videos!
Because content that can make ordinary people willing to spend money must be very attractive content.
Otherwise, there wouldn’t be so many members.
As for some of Netflix’s advantages, Dragon Kingdom has not been able to achieve it so far. But just because others can't do it, it doesn't mean that Su Yi can't do it.
He will use the cultural history of the Dragon Kingdom as the basis, then adapt it and show it to the world!
With his own reputation and some excellent works from the director, he will definitely be able to shine when the time comes!
"It's similar to the previous unit dramas. But this time the test is the director!"
Liu Shishi's eyes lit up, this was a good idea.
But she might be showing her timidity.
Because she has never been engaged in this field, and deep down, she still likes to perform, or is good at some management work-after all, she is still the general manager of Su Yi Charity.
"Similar, and before I apply for a special review channel with the General Administration, I really got the news that because online dramas are increasing day by day, a department will be added to be responsible for reviewing online dramas."
Some time ago, Su Yi went to the General Administration to apply for data transmission due to some public welfare work.
Then I chatted with Deputy Director Wang.
With changes in the international and domestic situations, the units of the General Administration of Culture and Entertainment have also made many adjustments.
The purpose is also for better review and production.
Read the error-free version at 69 Book Bar! 6=9+Book_Bar debuts this novel.
In fact, it was impossible to successfully apply for a web drama similar to Soul Ferryman.
But because of Su Yi's suggestion, the General Administration relaxed somewhat.
However, this is only for some of Su Yi's works. If Su Yi hadn't been there last time, this script would probably have been blocked for review now.
After all, the dispute between Su Yi and the BBC was very tense at that time.
"If it is true. If such a platform can be established, it will definitely be no problem to attract those directors. And new directors will also show their talents here! By then, there will be healthy competition! Established directors will have a reputation bonus, while new directors will have a reputation bonus. You don’t have to worry about it at all. We invest a sum of money, choose the script, and then choose the actors. But do we still have to rely on advertising?”
Liu Shishi saw Su Yi's serious discussion. She thought for a while and then expressed her idea.
I understand the composition of the platform, but the paid items are still a bit confusing.
Nothing is free in the world. Even the so-called free public welfare uses wonderful advertisements and documentaries to win people's sympathy and empathy, and uses the donations received to help people in need.
The purpose of establishing this platform is also to make money.
Without money, everything is empty.
"Yes, he is really smart."
Su Yi praised him appreciatively.
"Do you charge a monthly fee? There is no involvement of advertisers! There will be no advertising at the beginning or middle of the video, but a membership system!"
Membership?
Liu Shishi nodded in surprise. She didn't have anything to say about this, because most online broadcast platforms are now membership-based.
But there are also a lot of ads. There are ads at the beginning, at the end, in the middle, and even during pauses.
Although you can turn it off after becoming a member, it may jump if you touch it casually.
Especially when used on touch-screen mobile phones and computers, the experience is very poor.
But there is no way, 2015 is the year of the stock market crash, and there is an invisible battle between foreign hostile forces and the Dragon Kingdom.
Driven by the external environment, every industry is very volatile.
I want to accumulate a large amount of funds, increase my reputation, and fight against the competition in stocks.
Volumes also need to be reduced in service.
Some online streaming platforms have reduced the price to 5 yuan a month.
This is also understandable when it comes to ubiquitous advertising.
And we have to continue to work hard to pull in resources.
For example, why does Huayi dig holes to get some online drama directors?
Even if they don't hesitate to offend Wanda Pictures and Su Yi, they have to bring them over.
Because web dramas are the future development trend, and if a web drama is adapted from a well-known novel or comic, the audience will be very large.
It will attract more people to apply for membership, and then these online platforms will definitely compete for it.
When Huayi's previous movies failed at the box office, they relied on online dramas to make a comeback.
This can be regarded as the change brought about by Su Yi after traveling through time.
From Su Yi's point of view, he doesn't have to worry about the membership price at all, nor does he need to worry about other matters.
But what must be rolled out is quality!
"I'll build the platform first and wait until the seniors come back before shooting. This is a big project and I have to figure out the stakes."
Liu Shishi finally found his goal. He had previously said that he wanted to participate in the studio with Yang Mi. This could be considered a thing, but after all, he was not working with his senior.
"Do you still remember what happened when we were filming Cyclonus?"
Su Yi suddenly asked.
"How could I forget this."
Where the dream began, Liu Shishi added in his heart.
"Similar to this kind of small-cost large-scale production, or suspense - this is a type of movie. Directors will approach PK from different angles, in terms of cost savings, exciting plots, etc."
"Or, it's a big production from beginning to end. I already have the themes I want to shoot. One is Liao Zhai, and the other is a TV series about the theme of "The Battle of Songhu"."
This idea is no longer a day or two.
Instead, the project has officially been launched.
2015 is the 70th anniversary of the victory of the Dragon Kingdom against Fascism.
The victory in this battle belongs to the entire Dragon Kingdom.
And no matter which army it was at that time, it was all praiseworthy and deplorable.
Su Yi did not plan to make a movie, but chose a TV series instead.
And this time it is ready to be played on its own new platform.
Use Long Audio and Video to attract traffic, plus excellent movies and TV series, and slowly build this platform!
"Waiting for you to come back, you will shock movie fans all over the world."
Liu Shishi's eyes showed admiration and excitement.
Because she understands that this may be the biggest change in the online broadcast platform!
·····
"Director Su, I am here to protect you this time. I can also contact the embassy directly. I am your bodyguard. When encountering a crisis, I also hope that you can cooperate with me."
Su Yi has already boarded the plane to Star Flag Country.
This time he did not bring a team, but his superiors sent two bodyguards.
And the levels are very high.
After all, he was coming to the Star Flag Country, although there would be no big danger due to Su Yi's special status. (End of chapter)
