Of course, video websites cannot just look at whether they are profitable. Their main purpose is actually to go public, and they have gone through multiple rounds of financing before going public, so most of the money burned belongs to investors.
Those 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 money and scale cannot solve, but there is no way to avoid it, which is high quality.
content.
No matter how much money you spend a year and how many big IPs you grab, the ones that can make a profit will always be a small number of top S-level and A-level projects, while the others basically pay whatever you make, and only the producers make money in this process.
How to judge the level of a project or a drama is too subjective.
Are actors with big IPs, big productions, and big hits considered S-class? It’s not necessarily true.
Xu Chuan was wondering whether this model was suitable for UC Media, and whether he could make a profit if he did it himself. He was not sure. Given the domestic environment, it was impossible to produce whatever the audience wanted to see like Naifei did.
He is not yet confident enough that he will succeed in whatever he does, "Then let's try it first." No one here has experience in doing this, and streaming video websites are not something that people with money and background can do.
Well done.
Afterwards, he held a meeting with the senior executives of various departments. After hearing a lot of nonsense from them, Xu Chuan left the headquarters of UC Media.
He didn't dare to go back to the old man's courtyard. If he did, he probably wouldn't be able to leave today and would be nagged for a long time.
At 5:30 in the afternoon, Xu Chuan carried a bag of fruit and the box of old wild ginseng brought back from the nursing home to the door of a bookstore near Xidan. This was a small business run by Comrade Luo Jialing's parents. Next to it was the school. It not only sold books
It also sells stationery and other products, and the business is pretty good.
At this time, Luo Jialing was wearing an apron and was being scolded by her mother, "It's a holiday, so I just sleep at home. Do you think you still look like a girl?"
Standing outside the door of the bookstore, Xu Chuan could directly see Luo Jialing, a woman whose eyes almost rolled out of her eyes. The boss, Luo Jialing's father, was sitting at the checkout counter pretending to settle accounts, not daring to raise his head.
Fortunately, there were no more customers in the store. Xu Chuan knocked on the door politely, and the landlady instantly turned into a smiling face and shouted, "Welcome."
Luo Jialing raised her head and met Xu Chuan's smiling gaze, "Why are you here?", she felt a burst of joy in her heart, and then she suddenly realized this guy's attitude towards her, and instantly changed into a expressionless expression.
"Hello, aunt, I am Jialing's friend." This sentence made Luo Jialing's mother ecstatic, 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 still quite human when he was pretending, which made Luo's mother feel good about him.
"Why are you here?" Luo Jialing asked again, but her tone was not very good.
"We've known each other for so long, so of course we need to visit." Xu Chuan smiled and put the things in his hands on the ground.
Mother Luo smiled happily and said, "Why are you still bringing something? You don't have to be so polite. How long have you known our Jia Ling? Oh, by the way, I don't know your name yet."
"My name is Xu Chuan. Auntie, just call me Xiaochuan." Xu Chuan answered politely, without any trace of his usual arrogance, "I have known her for several years. Why, didn't she mention it?"
"Really? This child has been like this since he was a child. He doesn't tell his family about anything." Luo's mother turned around and glared at her daughter fiercely. "Well, Xiaochuan, let's stay and have a meal together."
Looking at her mother's face, Luo Jialing knew what she was thinking, and quickly stopped Xu Chuan, "No, he is so busy that he has no time to eat." Luo Jialing took off her apron, picked up her bag, and hurriedly took Xu Chuan away.
Chuanla walked out of the store.
"What on earth do you want to do?" Luo Jialing looked at him with a frown.
"I miss you, let's see you." Xu Chuan had a smile on his face that didn't deserve a beating, which made Luo Jialing want to punch her. However, the people coming and going here were a bit unsightly, and it also affected her.
Business.
She looked back at her mother, "I have something to do and I won't be back for dinner." She shouted and quickly pulled Xu Chuan away.
This old man even turned around and said hello to Luo's mother, and he was very considerate.
"There's something wrong with you." After getting into Xu Chuan's car, Luo Jialing rushed over and started fighting with this bastard.
This was not a boudoir fun between men and women, but a real fight, a close-quarters fight. However, Xu Chuan did not dare to take it too seriously, fearing that he would really beat the person away and be completely at a disadvantage. In the end, he could only say,
Fortunately, I tried my best to protect my face.
A quarter of an hour later, Xu Chuan bared his teeth and rubbed the muscles of his chest and ribs. This woman was really cruel, and she would be bruised after a while, but he also knew that the other party certainly did not try her best.
He reached out and took out a necklace box from his backpack and handed it to the woman opposite who was still fuming. "I brought this for you. Do you like it? I went all over the jade market in the Golden Triangle to find it."
Luo Jialing reached out and took it. Inside was an emerald safety buckle with a small gold bell hanging in the middle. Not only did it have a good meaning, but it also matched her name.
"I don't want it, it's too expensive." Luo Jialing handed the jewelry box back. Although she didn't understand this, how could this guy buy something ordinary?
"Don't make trouble, I know you can't accept anything too expensive, so I didn't dare to choose something expensive." This style is simple, and it doesn't look conspicuous when worn on your body.
Xu Chuan took it and stuffed it into her bag, "Are you going to eat? I'm hungry after being beaten by you for so long. Besides, I'll fly to Shanghai in the evening and won't be able to stay long."
Luo Jialing looked at him seriously, and finally couldn't help but sigh. She found that she was no longer angry at all, or the moment he appeared in front of her, she was no longer angry. It was really over.
After taking Xu Chuan to the airport after dinner in the evening, Luo Jialing wanted to go back to her home directly. Now when she thought of her mother waiting for her there, she got headaches. How could she explain this?
Sure enough, when she opened the door, the old couple was waiting for her. There were gifts brought by Xu Chuan on the dining table. Luo Jialing pretended to be nonchalant and prepared to pass by, "Have you eaten?"
Mother Luo gave her a sideways glance, but her tone was much calmer, "You are not young anymore, so marry the right one as soon as possible."
Luo Jialing almost choked to death, "Where is this going? We are just ordinary friends."
"I'm not interested in you. How can someone give me such an expensive gift?" He pointed to the gift box on the table. "Your father asked a friend. This is a wild ginseng that is more than fifty years old and worth hundreds of thousands. Give it to me.
Your betrothal gift is enough."
Luo Jialing's face was full of black lines. She opened the box, looked at it, and couldn't help but cursed, "This is crazy. Also, is your daughter worth this little money?"
Mother Luo looked her up and down, "I act like a tomboy all day long, and I will burn incense when someone asks me to."
