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

Chapter 373 The Prodigal Son Wanda Xiaowang

"Yes, the Internet is like this now. Mainstream TV dramas can indeed attract many users, but marginal content is more likely to win big with a small investment. Youku is producing a love variety show with several male and female guests, and it is crazy marginal. The cost is one or two million, and the effect is surprisingly good. Even Lao Gu doesn't dare to attract traffic."

"Oh, is it one of those romantic variety shows where they wear bikinis in the swimming pool?"

"Yes, have you seen it?"

Of course I have seen it. Romance shows that border on romance are still around even in 24, but they are done very covertly in mainland China and are all run by small companies.

The romance variety show that borders on romance is not as serious as the one on Madou Media.

It's a kind of romance show similar to "Let's Fall in Love", where ordinary people just rub shoulders with each other in love.

In Hong Kong and Taiwan, there are many amateur romance shows that are very vulgar and teach children bad habits.

The standard of mainland China's borderline romance variety shows is probably about the same as that of loser men, and the words used are even more vulgar.

There are many fine products among them, and they are of good quality. Local TV stations will buy them, edit them, and broadcast them, making a lot of money.

Li Mingyang first learned about the romantic drama from several actors in the skits. He was 18 years old at that time.

The popularity of the romance variety show "On the Edge of Love" lasted for 15 years.

A good project with annual revenue of hundreds of millions.

The cost is extremely low, ranging from hundreds of thousands to millions.

"I've seen it, do you want to do that?"

“Hua Yi is doing it.”

"No way, the leader of the private entertainment industry in China is actually doing this?!"

Wang Changtian shook his head and said with a wry smile, "Huayi and Guangguang are in similar situations now. The movies themselves don't make money, so they have to boost their performance from other aspects. Don't look down on this kind of marginal variety show. When you started out, didn't you also rely on Diaosi Men? This kind of marginal variety show is very popular throughout Asia."

“Domestic sales to export?”

"Yes, you can get a tax refund for exports."

"Why are you telling me this? You don't want me to do a fringe variety show, do you?"

"Variety shows that are even lower-end than web dramas. How could I let you do this?" Wang Changtian poured another glass of wine and said with a cunning smile, "You have so many people in your company, lend me a hundred of them, and we'll split the money 50-50."

"June 4th..."

"Then give me fifty more people."

"No one from the Witch crew can move." Li Mingyang picked up the wine glass.

"I know what's important and what's not." Wang Changtian clinked glasses, took a sip and said with a smile, "The Internet is really profitable. Do you think it's too late to do live streaming now? I'm planning to acquire a live streaming platform."

Li Mingyang felt that Wang Changtian's mind was not on the movie.

This is normal.

BAT would rather give money than take the risk of entering the movie industry.

But on the video platform, even Zhang Chaoyang, a stingy man, has started spending money like crazy... The domestic pie is really too big.

Except for long videos.

YY got the flower live broadcast and went directly to the United States for listing. Overseas investment banks were unanimously optimistic. As the listing underwriter, Goldman Sachs set YY's IPO at US$200 million, more than double that of Bernardus...

Then the domestic live streaming industry exploded!
From the original one hundred or so live streaming websites, the number increased to more than five hundred in less than a month...the threshold is extremely low.

"The competition in live streaming is quite fierce." Li Mingyang took a sip of chicken soup and suddenly thought of Liujianfang. "By the way, Huayi used to cooperate with Liujianfang. How is it now? I think Liujianfang doesn't seem to have closed down."

"Wang Dajun and Liu Yan broke up. Huayi started its own live streaming website, which is doing pretty well. Liujianfang seems to have merged with A站."

Liujianfang and A站 merged?

Liu Yan has found a real thigh!
Although Chen Shaojie was in jail, he is truly a genius at live streaming.

It can be said that the development plan of Douyu was solely planned by Chen Shaojie.

If these two people come together and join forces, the live streaming industry will be derailed and things will change!

YY’s dream of becoming the only dominant player is about to be shattered.

In 2011, the domestic Internet already had all the hardware conditions for the live streaming industry to explode.

What is lacking is financial investment, content creation, and excellent anchors.

As long as you focus on these three points, you can really count money with your eyes closed and your liquidity will explode.

……

At the same time, in a club in Yanbei.

Wang Sicong crossed his legs, drank red wine, and talked about the Internet, leaving Li Bingbing, Huang Xiaoming, and Ren Quan all confused.

“This live streaming industry is going to be popular in the future! Now people watch it on computers, but in the future they will use mobile phones. You can watch whatever you want. It’s an impulse purchase. Just a click and the gift is given out and the money is spent. Haha.” Wang Sicong took the iPhone and clicked it exaggeratedly. Others didn’t laugh, but he smiled so hard that his eyes narrowed.

"Brother Quan, Sister Bing, Brother Xiao Ming, there's nothing good to do in the catering industry. It takes too long to make money. The Internet is the best place to make money. I've already found a good place. Panda Live will open next week. I'll give you a share then."

The three of them were confused again.

They just came to drink with Xiao Wang, and originally thought that it would be a lively affair, and Li Bingbing had already found a woman. But Xiao Wang couldn't stop talking about the Internet, and even drove away the women in the box, talking a lot, spitting everywhere, and the three of them were stunned.

Invest in the Internet?
The three of them never thought about it.

They prefer to invest in real estate or stocks.

Seeing that the three did not react, Xiao Wang chuckled and asked his followers to take out the information and show it to the three.

The three of them were flipping through the documents, and the data in the documents, combined with Xiao Wang's empty talk, quickly aroused the interest of the three.

They all know that Li Mingyang invested in live streaming and made 500 million yuan!

Although he is no longer in business and has exited the market, the company that took over, Huya, went public directly and is very popular in the U.S. stock market.

To be honest, these three people don’t understand what live streaming is or what the Internet is. They only care about the profit.

The thing mentioned most in the information is the income.

The three of them were all interested. Ren Quan knew more about investment, so he asked Xiao Wang about profit distribution, share distribution, and what investments were needed for live streaming.

"Brother Quan, these things are not important. I will do my best. We are aiming for a listing." Xiao Wang said proudly.

The three of them retreated again.

However, Xiao Wang did not care. Instead, he crossed his legs and talked about the plans of his Pusi Investment Company. In addition to the domestic Internet, he also invested in two Korean game companies, two film special effects companies, an agency company, and a film production company.

"I have already contacted CJ Group. They are very optimistic about the domestic film market and want to increase investment. However, in China, you can't just increase investment whenever you want. It seems like you don't know what CJ does in China..."

"CGV Cinemas was previously a joint venture between Australia's Vieshow Cinemas and Golden Harvest. Later, Golden Harvest and Vieshow withdrew, and now it belongs to CJ." Li Bingbing said with a smile.

Xiao Wang put his arms on the back of the sofa and nodded like a big shot. "Yes, my dad is going to cooperate with CJ to merge CGV into Wanda Cinema Line. By then, Wanda will not only dominate the domestic cinema chain, but also have a say in Korea. Your future movies can be screened in Korea."

Li Bingbing, Huang Xiaoming and Ren Quan were all shocked.

This is to poach people!
Wow, this isn’t a prodigal son!
Damn, they were having so much fun on the yacht, but why did they become so serious on land? Their IQs are all online.

The three of them originally just wanted to have more contact with Wanda’s prodigal son and trick him into investing.

Unexpectedly...Wanda Xiao Wang is not a prodigal son at all, but a smart man! Not only did he trick them into investing, he also poached them!

Wanda and Huayi are now strategic partners!

Isn't it too unfair to poach the top guys from our strategic partners like this?

More than an hour later, Xiao Wang received a call and left cursing. The three did not leave, but discussed the next investment plan.

"This live broadcast is a good investment, but this Xiao Wang is not simple..." said Li Bingbing.

"We can do it ourselves, or invest in YY directly." Ren Quan lowered his head and touched his hands. "I really don't know what this Xiao Wang is up to. But Wanda really doesn't understand the entertainment industry. They actually have their eyes on you two."

"The cinema business is real estate, which is different from the film business. However, Wanda Pictures has been very active recently, poaching people, and even brought them to Huayi," said Li Bingbing.

"Many people's contracts are about to expire. I don't understand what Mr. Wang and Mr. Wang are thinking. They don't seem to care at all."

"There's nothing you can do about it. There's no shortage of money in the industry right now. There are too many people trying to make money, and they only care about the beginning and not the end."

Ren Quan said.

"The industry is in a mess right now, with a lot of monsters and demons. Several listed film and television companies are not paying attention to film and television."

In 2011, the film industry was in a slump, while the television industry was extremely hot.

The four major film companies just shout loud slogans, but if you look closely, you will find that they are all engaged in side businesses.

The situation between the two countries has changed. This year, Hollywood films have received unprecedented treatment. Whether it is release date, scheduling, or publicity, there is almost no difference from domestic films.

All major cinema chains were delighted.

Domestic film companies have suffered a lot, especially Huayi and Guangguang. Both companies are looking for side businesses to make up for the losses in the film industry.

"Xiao Ming, what is Li Mingyang busy with recently? You should have some inside information, right?" Ren Quan asked.

"I don't have any inside information. I'm really not familiar with him." Huang Xiaoming waved his hands repeatedly.

"Bingbing, do you have any news?" Ren Quan asked again.

Li Bingbing shook her finger. "He is being watched by so many people. If there was any news, it would have been revealed long ago."

Ren Quan is quite envious of Li Mingyang's investment talent and recognizes it very much!
I wanted to invest according to Li Mingyang's idea, but Li Mingyang suddenly started to get involved in real estate, building buildings and building a film and television city.

In his opinion, these two investments are not as good as just buying a house.

"There are actually many ways to make money. I feel the Internet is quite illusive. Do you want to invest in a winery? I have connections."

"It must be Yan Zi's connection." Li Bingbing chuckled.

"How about it, are you interested?" Huang Xiaoming said.

Li Bingbing was not interested, but Ren Quan was interested in all investments, so he started chatting with Huang Xiaoming.

Li Bingbing just listened and didn't say anything, but her mind was thinking about other things.
