Of course, video websites cannot just look at whether they are profitable. Their main purpose is actually to go public. Moreover, they have experienced multiple rounds of financing before listing, so most of the money they burn is from investors.
These people who invest in the Internet believe in traffic, so they spend a lot of money for this. However, there is a very important thing about video websites that cannot be solved by money and scale, but there is no way to avoid it, which is high-quality content.
No matter how much money you spend in a year, you will always be the few top S-level and A-level projects that can make profits, while others are basically the amount of money you do. In this process, only the producers make money. How to judge what level a project and a drama is? This thing is too subjective.
Are actors with big IP, big production, and big traffic are S-level? It’s not necessarily true.
Xu Chuan was wondering whether this model is suitable for UC Media. If you do it yourself, can you make a profit? It’s not clear. With the domestic environment, you can’t do whatever the audience wants to watch like Nefi.
He is not as confident as he will succeed in everything he does, "Then let's try it first." No one here has the experience of doing this, and streaming video websites are not good enough with money and background.
After that, he held a meeting with senior executives of various departments. After hearing them talk a lot of nonsense, Xu Chuan left the headquarters of UC Media.
He didn't dare to go back to the old man's courtyard. If that happens, he probably won't be able to leave today and will be nagged for a long time.
At 5:30 in the afternoon, Xu Chuan brought a bag of fruit and the box of Laoshan ginseng that had returned from the sanatorium to a bookstore near Xidan. This was a small business run by Comrade Luo Jialing's parents. Next to it was the school that not only sold books but also made stationery and other goods. The business was pretty good.
At this time, Luo Jialing was surrounded by her apron and was scolded by her mother, "It's time for holiday, I know I'm sleeping at home. Do you think I'm a little girlish?"
Standing outside the bookstore, Xu Chuan could see that Luo Jialing's eyes were almost rolling. The boss, Luo Jialing's father, was sitting at the cashier's checkout and pretending to settle the bills, not daring to raise his head.
Fortunately, there are no customers in the store. Xu Chuan knocked on the door politely, and the proprietress instantly turned into a smile and shouted, "Welcome"
Luo Jialing looked up and happened to meet Xu Chuan's smiling gaze, "Why are you here?" She suddenly felt a sense of joy in her heart, and then suddenly realized the guy's attitude towards her, and instantly changed into a three-no expression.
"Hello Auntie, I am Jialing's friend." Luo Jialing's mother was ecstatic, and her daughter finally had a boyfriend.
Luo's mother enthusiastically let Xu Chuan into the store. During this period, she carefully looked up and down at Xu Chuan in front of her. This guy was pretty handsome when he pretended, which made Luo's mother feel good.
"Why are you here?" Luo Jialing asked again, her tone was not very good.
"I have known each other for so long, of course I need to visit me." Xu Chuan smiled and put the things in his hand on the ground.
Mother Luo smiled happily, "Why are you still bringing things? Don't be so polite. How long have you known us Jialing for us? Alas, by the way, I don't know what your name is."
"My name is Xu Chuan. Auntie, just call me Xiao Chuan." Xu Chuan replied politely, "I have known her for several years. Why? Haven't she mentioned it?"
"Is that so? This child has been like this since he was a child and he doesn't tell his family anything." Mother Luo turned around and glared at her daughter fiercely, "Then Xiaochuan, stay here for a meal together."
Luo Jialing looked at her mother's appearance and knew what she was thinking. She quickly stopped Xu Chuan, "No, he is very busy, so he has no time to have dinner." He took off his apron, Luo Jialing picked up her bag and quickly pulled Xu Chuan out of the store.
"What the hell do you want to do?" Luo Jialing frowned and looked at him.
"I miss you, come and see you." Xu Chuan had a smile on his face that he deserved a beating, which made Luo Jialing want to punch him, but the crowds here are really bad looking, and it also affects her business.
She looked back at her mother, "I have something to do, I won't come back for dinner." She shouted and pulled Xu Chuan away.
The man even turned around and greeted Luo's mother, and he was very thoughtful.
"You have something wrong." When you got into Xu Chuan's car, Luo Jialing rushed over and fought with the bastard.
This is not the joy of the boudoir between men and women, but the kind of fighting in close combat. But Xu Chuan did not dare to be too serious, for fear of really knocking people away, so he was completely at a disadvantage. In the end, he could only say that fortunately tried to protect his face.
A quarter of an hour later, Xu Chuan rubbed his chest and rib muscles with his teeth bared. The woman was really cruel and she would definitely be blue and purple after a while, but he also knew that the other party did not do his best.
He reached out and took out a necklace box from his backpack and handed it to the woman who was still angry across the street, "I brought it to you, see if you like it? I ran all over the jade market in the Golden Triangle and found it."
Luo Jialing reached out and took it. It was a jade peace buckle inside, and a small gold bell hung in the middle. It not only has a good meaning but also matches her name.
"I don't want it, it's too expensive." Luo Jialing handed the jewelry box back. Although she didn't understand these, how could this guy buy something ordinary?
"Don't mess around, I know you can't accept too expensive things, so I didn't dare to choose expensive ones." This style is simple and you don't think so when you wear it on your body.
Xu Chuan took it and stuffed it directly into her bag, "Do you go for dinner? I'm hungry after being beaten by you for so long, and I can't stay for long when I fly to Shencheng at night."
Luo Jialing looked at him seriously and finally sighed. She found that she was no longer angry at all, or that the moment he appeared in front of her, she was no longer angry. She was really finished.
After dinner, she took Xu Chuan to the airport. Luo Jialing really wanted to go back to her home directly. Now when she thought of her mother waiting for her, she felt a headache. How could she explain this?
Sure enough, the old couple opened the door and were waiting for her. The gifts brought by Xu Chuan were placed on the dining table. Luo Jialing pretended to be nothing and was about to get away with it, "Have you eaten?"
Luo's mother glanced at her, but her tone became much calmer, "You are not young anymore, if you have the right one, hurry up and get married."
Luo Jialing almost choked to death, "Where is this? We are just ordinary friends."
"Isn't it interesting to you? Can someone give such a valuable gift?", pointing to the gift box on the table, "Your father asked his friend, this is wild ginseng that has been rising for fifty years, worth hundreds of thousands, and it's enough to give you a betrothal gift."
Luo Jialing's face was covered in black. She opened the box and looked at it and couldn't help but curse, "This lunatic, and, is my daughter worth the money?"
