Chapter 546 Entering the venue one after another
Spring Festival Gala rehearsal.
Today it is another program review and screening, but the lion dance troupe led by Xu Kun did not participate, but he was inexplicably arranged to the judges.
But his mind was not on the review program, but was in a dilemma when he looked at the two invitations in front of him.
One of them was the invitation letter of the "LeTV New Year's Day Party" sent by Gan Shi, saying that it left him the best place to fill the house, and hoped that he could speak on stage.
The other one is Alibaba Group, which invited him to attend Alibaba's annual meeting through the invitation letter transferred to Huayi Zhong. The content above is Ma Yun's handwritten letter.
The problem is that these two companies are both set to December 28th - LeTV held a party for the first year after all, and was afraid of accidents in the middle, so they were going to record and broadcast in advance.
Although Xu Kun has decided to leave LeTV, some things need to be borrowed from LeTV as a platform for the time being, such as the director's auditions' pre- and mid-term tracking.
And the new generation of Korean girl groups also urgently need Director Xu to come and guide himself - this time LeTV invited not only SM, but also included the essence of the entire new generation of Korean wave.
But he, who is familiar with Alibaba's subsequent development, naturally does not want to miss the olive branch from Boss Ma.
Just when he was in a dilemma, Xu Kun suddenly felt that the judges around him stood up one after another. He looked up and found that it was the CCTV leader.
This director named Shen Xu Kun has seen him twice before. He is not particularly high in terms of job rank, but he is a strong competitor to the deputy director. I heard that the background background is also very deep, so most people dare not offend him.
Although Xu Kun was not afraid of him, the people were carrying people in the flower sedan chair, not to mention that they were on their territory, so they stood up as well.
When Director Shen saw this, he hurriedly approached in three steps and two steps, laughed and said, "Don't get me wrong, I came here to ask Director Xu to help give some guidance to the recent work, which has nothing to do with our Spring Festival Gala program team."
Guiding?
Xu Kun was puzzled. The main reason was that Director Shen was responsible for logistics, which basically had nothing to do with film and television variety shows production. What could he do with him, the great director? You can't just ask the tips for purchasing vegetables in greenhouses, right?
Or...
He has now been promoted to deputy director? "I have no hope for Deputy Director." As a result, when Xu Kungang tactfully raised his doubts, Director Shen smiled helplessly and said, "I have become Master Director directly."
This is obviously neither a joke nor Versailles.
So Xu Kun was even more confused.
Director Shen pulled him to find an empty room nearby. After sitting down, he poured out his bitterness in his heart. Xu Kun finally knew what was going on.
Director Shen was indeed promoted to director directly, but he was not the director of CCTV, but the director of CNTV. His full Chinese name is: China Internet TV Station.
This matter was several months earlier than the original time and space. The main reason was that LeTV started with the genuine version, and could also make a fortune by relying on variety shows and Korean pop, and it was about to be launched.
The leaders of CCTV were happy to see the hunt and wanted to get a share of the pie, so they decided to set up CNTV with a wave of their hands, based on the resources of CCTV and continue to expand CCTV's influence on the online platform in the imitation of LeTV.
Director Shen was appointed as the founder of CNTV.
Master Shen has been angry, depressed, and fought for this, but in the end he could only accept his fate, thinking about working hard to make a career and finding an opportunity to return to CCTV in the future.
That's why he came to Xu Kun, the legendary think tank leader who helped LeTV start his career. He hopes that Director Xu can contribute some insights to himself like he helped Lao Jia.
Of course, Master Shen will definitely not speak verbally, implying that after CNTV started, he will definitely focus on the Xu people, and his relationship with the Central Station can also provide some help within his ability.
Master Shen’s attitude was shown, but Xu Kun was not optimistic about his future, because when he was a prison friend in his previous life, he had only heard of LeTV, Tudou, iQiyou and Tencent. It seemed that there was still something flying abroad, but he had never heard of CNTV.
The reason is not difficult to speculate. It is nothing more than the bloated and procrastinating style of official organizations. It cannot keep up with the wave of the Internet era, nor does it have the courage to spend money crazy in the Internet companies.
However, Xu Kun naturally would not be so stupid that he told him in person, but instead analyzed the current situation of the video website and the possible future developments for Director Shen in detail.
Although he did not reveal any intention of not being optimistic about CNTV, he heard that the video website was launched on a large scale and a more crazy expansion mode was likely to start, and Director Shen's expression gradually became solemn.
After a while, he made a request: "Director Xu, can you help me contact Mr. Jia of LeTV? I hope to lead a team to visit and learn." People from the General Office visited LeTV and studied, which was a big gimmick, and I guess Lao Jia would not refuse.
But Xu Kun didn't say too much, but said that he would turn around and contact LeTV and give a reply tomorrow at the latest.
After seeing off Master Shen, who was worried, Xu Kun returned to the review site. As a result, Zhao Benshan was furious at Lang Kun from a distance.
Xu Kun did not rush forward, but found a familiar one to ask what was going on. After asking, he found out that Zhao Benshan's sketch was killed because of his three-view issues.
This time, there is still one month before the Spring Festival Gala, and it will be very stressful to rehearse the show.
Lao Zhao was determined to give up, but Lang Kun refused to give in to the law, and then he refused to let Lao Zhao back down. After a while, it was not surprising that Zhao Benshan would be furious.
The director team of the Spring Festival Gala was indeed inauthentic. This tone must be made to make Uncle Benshan vomit, so Xu Kun did not go up to answer the advice, but chose a clean corner to call Lao Jia.
After hearing what Xu Kun recounted, Old Jia couldn't help but sigh: "This is really a storm coming and the wind is filling the building!"
"Is it that exaggerated?"
Xu Kun disagreed: "Anyway, I am not optimistic about this CNTV. There has been no official organization in the past two years to build an online platform. What's the result? Even if CNTV is backed by CCTV's resources, the chance of becoming bigger and stronger is not high."
The newest ⊥Xiao⊥Speak⊥Send⊥Six⊥9⊥Book⊥⊥⊥⊥Back⊥⊥⊥⊥! "I'm not worried about this CNTV." Lao Jia explained: "What I'm worried about is that there are Internet giants who are going to end."
Internet giants who are going to end?
The first thing that came to Xu Kun's mind was Alibaba. After all, when the shopping festival was held, Ma Yun was obviously very interested in the film and television industry.
But Lao Jia's answer was not Alibaba, but another Internet giant at its peak: "Baidu just founded a video website called 'Qiyi.com' with American private equity funds. The current publicity point is to imitate us and Youku to play online dramas, and it requires a lot of investment."
Qiyi.com?
It shouldn't be iQiyi?
Is it the butterfly effect caused by myself, or did I change my name later?
No wonder Lao Jia feels under great pressure. Even if the current video websites cannot beat the capital tycoons, they can still choose to be acquired and give up.
But LeTV's model means that he has no room for compromise, and once Lao Jia becomes a loser, he is likely to be backfired by the supporters behind him.
So the backend is actually a double-edged sword. The good thing is that it can provide help, and the bad thing is that it will make you less choice and no way out.
At this time, Lao Jia said, "You said that the official organization has never succeeded in building an online platform, but in fact, LeTV is also the same as the official businessman in its bones? Now Internet giants are starting to enter the market. If they don't solve the fundamental problems of LeTV as soon as possible, they will get into trouble sooner or later.
I have decided that after going public, I will talk to the above. I will not let them interfere in LeTV's operations at will!"
In the face of huge pressure, Lao Jia is obviously willing to sacrifice himself. As for the success rate, it depends on the stock price trend after LeTV's listing.
"Kun'er!"
Old Jia's tone suddenly became a little affectionate: "If I did it, we brothers will make LeTV bigger and stronger and become an industry giant like Baidu. How about it?!"
If it weren't for knowing the memoir of returning to China next week, Xu Kun might have been really inspired by him.
After all, LeTV platform has also provided him with a lot of help. If it can become bigger and stronger, it will undoubtedly feed Xu Kun's position in the entertainment industry.
But...
"You and Gan Shi are okay." Xu Kun finally quipped and declined half-jokingly: "I finally made up my mind to get out of LeTV. Now you want to pull me back. Then won't my determination be in vain?"
