This director only makes bad movies

"Short video?" Lin Ziyi quickly captured the key information in Xu Nan's words.

Xu Nan said slowly: "There are also short video platforms in China, namely Kuanshou and Douyin, both of which are used by many people. You can take a look at their business models."

“I think short videos have greater potential than streaming media in the future. After a busy day, consumers may not have the energy to watch a TV series with more than ten or even dozens of episodes, but they definitely have time to watch a few dozen seconds. Zhong’s short video.”

"Even short videos can be watched during breaks at work or while eating, which can make full use of fragmented time. In this regard, long videos are completely inferior to short videos."

“I even dare to say that the future will be dominated by short videos.”

In fact, Xu Nan had the idea of ​​investing in short videos. After all, he made so much money from making movies, it would be a waste to put it in the bank to earn interest.

And he knows that short videos have a high probability of success.

But the problem was that when he wanted to invest, there were already more than a dozen short video platforms on the market. Those that were already established did not accept investment from outsiders at all. Xu Nan did not dare to invest in those that were not established.

Therefore, he can only suppress the small thoughts of capital appreciation.

If Lin Ziyi is willing to make short videos, Xu Nan can invest in it, because this girl does have some ability and there is a chance that she can make it happen.

If it really succeeds, he will make a lot of money.

"Short video." Lin Ziyi secretly wrote this down.

She believed in Xu Nan's talent. Since short videos had potential, it should be right and she could look for opportunities to investigate.

Lin Ziyi tried to persuade Xu Nandao: "I know the competition for long videos is fierce, but there is still a possibility of success."

"First of all, I have connections in the United States, and I can get the rights to film and television dramas there at a low price."

"I can even get authorization for films and TV series from other countries."

"This is pretty reliable." Xu Nan commented.

There are still many people in China who like to watch foreign films and television dramas, and some even have a sense of superiority because of this, thinking that watching foreign films and television dramas is more noble than watching domestic films and television dramas.

Not to mention whether their mentality is right or not, but at least this is a market.

If we can get the authorization for foreign movies and TV series to be put on the video platform, it should be able to attract many people to become members.

And as long as someone is willing to become a member, then the video website will have a firm foothold, barely able to gain a foothold.

Lin Ziyi continued: "Second, I can also obtain licenses for some domestic film and television dramas at low prices, such as Brother Film and Television, and the resources of several TV stations."

"It's so exciting for the second generation to start a business." Xu Nan couldn't help complaining: "The foundation at home is really good."

"It's not like me. When I made my first movie, I still had a negative buff."

Lin Ziyi did not answer, and then said: "The third one is you. You own a film and television company and are also a top domestic director. In the future, you are destined to be able to continuously produce new content, which will be an important part of the website's competitiveness. "

Xu Nan was a little tempted.

The main reason is that Lin Ziyi has laid a very good foundation. Whether it is licensing foreign film and television dramas or domestic film and television dramas, a video website can gain a firm foothold in this fiercely competitive environment.

Moreover, the streaming media industry is naturally the upper-class industry of the film and television industry, and is extremely suitable for expansion.

If Xu Nan only satisfied a director or a film and television company boss, then he could indeed do nothing.

But if he still wants to pursue something, then the streaming media industry is indeed very suitable for him.

Lin Ziyi's foundation is so good, it would be a pity to miss it.

Xu Nan hesitated.

Lin Ziyi urged: "How about it? If you dare, give me a happy word."

"I have already laid the foundation. All you need to do is bring some money to invest. To be honest, I don't really care about your money. The main reason is that you are a bit crooked. Otherwise, who would look for you?"

Xu Nan said slowly: "My money is all earned with hard work. It is all hard-earned money."

Lin Ziyi rolled her eyes: "To be precise, your money was all obtained through deceit and abduction, and you still have blood and sweat. Are you embarrassed?"

Xu Nan added: "Although you have laid a good foundation, whether the video website can succeed still depends on whether it can continue to produce better and more exciting TV series in the future. To put it bluntly, it is innovation. Only in this way can the audience Only if they are willing to continue to replenish their membership will the video platform be able to survive in the fierce competition."

Lin Ziyi: "Since we have a good foundation, why can't we compete with others? I don't think we are worse than others. And you are a great director. Don't you even have the confidence to make a good movie?"

Xu Nan: "But the pattern of the streaming media industry has been determined. The major giants have already occupied enough market shares, and it will be difficult for latecomers to develop under their squeeze."

Lin Ziyi: "So what, and the stronger the opponent, the more interesting it is. Only such a victory is satisfying enough."

Xu Nan: "But."

Lin Ziyi was anxious and interrupted Xu Nan: "Where's all the nonsense? Come on, let's do it or not."

Xu Nan rolled her eyes at Lin Ziyi and sighed: "You've said so, what else can I do? Just do it."

Lin Ziyi smiled.

"Wouldn't it be over if I said this earlier? There is so much nonsense."

Xu Nan said: "The main thing is to see your determination, don't just be hot for three minutes, otherwise I will be miserable."

"You are the second generation of rich people, and you have support from your family. I am alone, and I will be devastated if I fail."

Lin Ziyi laughed angrily: "Why don't you be so shameless? You've made so much money by cheating the audience by making movies, and your net worth is higher than mine, and you still have the nerve to say this."

"Okay, let's discuss the capital contribution and proportion." Xu Nan's expression became a little more serious.

When it comes to business, both parties are serious.

This is not a trivial matter like who pays for a meal. It may involve a large business of hundreds of millions or even billions, so we must be cautious.

Brothers are still settling scores, let alone two people who are not brothers.

The condition proposed by Lin Ziyi was that she would contribute 300 million and Xu Nan would contribute 700 million, and the two of them would jointly form a company.

But in terms of shares, it was the other way around, with Lin Ziyi holding 70% and Xu Nan only 30%.

Xu Nan was anxious at that time: "Why do I only get 30% of the money if I pay 700 million?"

Lin Ziyi showed no sign of weakness: "Just because I started this company, I can get licenses for foreign film and television dramas at low prices, and I can get domestic resources at low prices. Can you?"

Xu Nan: "I pay the most, and I can also make movies."

Lin Ziyi yelled: "Money is useless. If it weren't for the fact that I don't want anyone to influence my right to speak, I can definitely attract people to invest. Billions of dollars are not a problem. If I hadn't seen you as an acquaintance, I would have given you 100% at most." Ten out of ten shares.”

The two quarreled.

But how could such a thing come to an end through a quarrel?

Moreover, what Lin Ziyi said actually makes sense. It is not difficult to build a video platform. The difficulty is actually the content.

If there are not enough movies and TV series in the video platform, then why should people download and become members?

Therefore, Lin Ziyi's contribution is really great, and it is natural for her to want to occupy more shares.

But Xu Nan cannot accept this distribution plan.

Pay the most money and take the greatest risks, but the benefits are not the greatest.

Why.

Seeing that Lin Ziyi refused to give in, Xu Nan simply said: "Since you think I am not of much help to the video platform, how about we make a bet."

"What are you betting on?" Lin Ziyi asked.

Xu Nandao: "The most important thing for a video platform is of course new content. Only if it has sufficient creative capabilities and can continuously create new content can it retain viewers and make them willing to become members."

“And this ability is also the key to whether the video platform can survive in the fierce competition.”

"Do you admit this or not?"

Lin Ziyi nodded.

Since she wants to be a video platform, of course she understands the importance of new content to a video platform.

If there is not enough new content to attract viewers, the video platform will be dead. If you want to stand out in the fierce competition and dominate the market, you must have video resources that attract viewers.

It can be a movie, a TV series, or a variety show.

But no matter what it is, it must be there, and it must be attractive enough for the audience to make them willing to become members.

Many video platforms died because their innovation capabilities could not keep up.

Xu Nan said: "Then let's bet on this. Bet that I can produce movies and TV series that are enough to attract the audience and make them willing to become members."

Lin Ziyi asked: ""Staring Man"?"

The movie "The Eyed Man" is still in the theater because it has applied for an extension key, but once the release date passes, the movie will definitely be played on the video platform.

A phenomenon-level movie of this level, without even thinking about it, will definitely bring a large number of new members to the video platform.

In order to gain the rights to broadcast this film online, managers from several video platforms contacted Liu Yang frequently, each offering more generous terms than the last.

If this movie is placed on the new video platform jointly established by the two, it will definitely bring a large number of new members to this video platform.

And this is why Lin Ziyi insists on pulling Xu Nan to start a business together. If Xu Nan really has no effect on the development of the video platform, she will not come here.

Emotions, etc., are too weak in the face of interests and can only play a supporting role.

Xu Nan said: "I can do not only "Staring Man", but also TV series and variety shows. I guarantee that the audience will be willing to replenish their membership. For such a big role, 30% of the shares are simply not enough."

Lin Ziyi said: "I believe in your talent for making movies, but TV series and variety shows are completely different from movies. I'm sure you can do it."

Xu Nan: "Is it okay? Can we prove it with facts?"

Lin Ziyi hesitated: "If you can really create enough new content for the video platform and let viewers become members, then it is not impossible to give you more shares."

Next, the two people had another argument.

The final outcome of the argument is as follows.

Xu Nan and Lin Ziyi each hold 30% of the shares, and the remaining 40% of the shares will be allocated based on the role that both parties play in the development of the video platform.

To put it bluntly, whoever can get more consumers to become members on the video platform will get more shares.

More work, more reward.

Both parties are satisfied with this condition, and both feel that they can get more in the future.

Whether it is Lin Ziyi or Xu Nan, they are both proud and arrogant people, and no one thinks that they are inferior to the other.
