American Fortune Life
Chapter 1708: Make money, even pit yourself!
Since March 6, Pop King Michael Jackson held a press conference in the United Kingdom, officially announced that he will return to hold a concert news, shaking the world's music scene.
The 50-year-old pop star who has been framed by the media as a "problem king" has been out of the public eye for many years, but his passionate fans have not forgotten him.
In recent years, Jackson has said that strange behaviors and changing appearances can't help but sweat for his health.
Various media, and according to so-called related persons, Jackson had undergone a series of health checks before the press conference, proving that he has good physical fitness to complete a high-intensity concert ...
Andy, who has experienced a sudden death from Jackson ’s overdose, is naturally better than anyone else. All the “problems” that Michael Jackson calls are framed, but what if Andy knew?
Burns, plastic surgery, nose, 'bleached skin', and hundreds of millions of dollars of debt, and the source of these debts all comes down to the 'injustice' that occurred in 1993. It was also this lawsuit that put Jackson into one micro-Xie scandal after another, and made him a "crossing mouse."
In the past 10 years, j has been portrayed as a monster that is abnormal from the inside out!
To put it bluntly, Andy really likes j's music, and that's all. Faced with this ‘mud’, Andy can only do some help he can do. As for helping j?
Sorry, it can't be done!
In particular, this involves a two-billion-dollar copyright fight. In the face of such great interests, how much does Andy need to pay?
What's more important is that now that J has closed himself, no one believes it. Even if Andy wants to help him, it won't even be thankful but skeptical.
Moreover, it was not only Sony's group of people who targeted j, but also the 'white' group of jealousies and hatreds hidden in American society in the dark.
Therefore, what Andy can help him is only provided within a reasonable business framework. Of course, he will also do a little to do everything to listen to his destiny. However, this requires a suitable time. As for whether it can change anything, it can only be done. It is up to j himself.
"What's going on with these two?"
In the conference room, Andy watched two copies of the footbath female singer Uda Duguang and South Korea's Baoer, promoted on the hu video, broadcast the commercial agreement promoting v, and frowned slightly.
"Boss, this is my agreement." At this time, a Chinese man sitting under the head of EO opened his mouth to pick up the pot.
"Why?" Andy looked at the Chinese-American tree Zhang who was invited by eo Jason to join Hu as the development director.
"In order to attract Asians and open the Asian market, the gimmicks of the Asian Dwarf wars, I believe they will attract great attention in South Korea and the foot basin.
Popular foot singers Hikaru Utada and Korea's Little Tin Hou Poa have both released English albums in the United States. The two are very popular in Asia, but fans of both countries are full of expectations whether they can conquer the United States, the world's entertainment center.
In addition, both companies have the intention of borrowing from our platform for promotion, and their promotion costs are after all appropriate. "
After listening to this explanation, Andy rushed to the tree and Zhang nodded with satisfaction and said, "Nice planning, I have heard of Uda Takamitsu. This is Boa. When I was in Korea, I heard that she was Korean. Britney, huh, why do n’t you have a share in the American music scene? At present, there seems to be no successful precedent for Asian singers. "
"This Baoer's brokerage company, Entertainment, has invested a lot, buying a large number of billboards in New York and Los Angeles, and playing promotional videos. In addition, it also frequents events in the United States, including attending various celebrity banquets. They also hope that this female Singers were able to sing singles on our "hulive" concert, for which they were willing to pay $ 1 million, and they just don't understand ... "
"Haha ..." Hearing Jason's doubts, Andy couldn't help laughing, and Tree Zhang, who understands Asian culture, smiled and shook his head. "The reason they are willing to spend this money is because they only want to be their female singer. Create a situation that stands in the United States and is very popular. When she returns to Asia, the name of an international superstar will allow them to earn more, even more than ten times this investment. "
"Gold-plated." After hearing the boss's so straightforward explanation, Jason was also shocked.
"That's it, huh, since the other party has given money, the agreement will be fulfilled." Andy did not look down on the fool hat, to be honest, as the most powerful top-level industrial assembly line idol manufacturing base in Asia, the Korean fool hat company is true It ’s quite a set, and after a little groaning, Andy raised an eyebrow and smiled slightly. “Let ’s do it, let ’s not talk about it, and ask the female singer in the foot basin.”
"Okay, boss." Jason did not hesitate, and responded to Andy's proposal. As a pragmatic American, a profitable business would not hesitate.
After the meeting, Andy came to the chairman's office of Hu, and the follower Jason began to report separately. Although the current shareholders of Hu Video almost include Disney's other four major Hollywood movie companies, nb, ab, fox, but An Desmith is an absolute controlling shareholder, and Jason, the EO, is assigned by Andy, naturally, Andy is the first to look forward to it.
"It's time to start the next stage of the new advertising model. Tell our advertising cooperatives that starting from the second half of the year, every episode of hu can be associated with an exclusive sponsor. I believe that for large companies that value brands , They are more willing to associate their image with professional, legal, well-produced content. As a result, our advertising revenue model will be more stable. "
Andy came over this time mostly to make this decision. It is important to know that advertising revenue is an important criterion for measuring the success of a video website. From the beginning, hu video ads cannot be skipped. This At first, it was regarded as a joke by the video industry, thinking that it would arouse the user's resentment, but Hu intelligently resolved this negative possibility under the instruction of Andy, and handed over the control of what advertisements were viewed and when. To the user.
Now that hu video has become the second largest video website in the United States, it is enough to show that Andy's decision is extremely correct.
"Okay, boss."
"Continue to expand the lineup of traditional media content providers' partners, what niche channels and network content providers must be included this time. We still have to adhere to the original concept and become the most numerous and most comprehensive program on the Internet. The streaming service store of a stand-alone service should aim at netizens as long as they are on the hu network, and basically don't need to go to other networks to watch programs. "
Andy once again reiterated what he said when he sent Jason to take over hu videoeo. This is what Andy hopes the other party to keep in mind.
"Understand." Jason responded very seriously, and then asked, "Boss, do we continue to be free? After all, we are now the second in the United States, and we have passed the novice period of latecomers. We have stabilized the market. With enough user viscosity, maybe we can try some of the charges. "
"You ca n’t be in a hurry about charging!" Andy directly shook his head and rejected Jason's proposal. After all, he was his own. It ’s not easy to explain it and answer the confusion of his staff.
"For hu, our users have formed a free consumption habit. At this time, what we need to do is not to rush to break it, but to conform to this habit. After the consumer has a certain dependence on your product, then gradually charge at this time. It's not too late.
Furthermore, we are backed by investors who have a huge library of video programs. Therefore, the price of copyright is relatively low, and the licensing method is relatively simple. In addition, the wealth of advertiser resources brought by the three major companies for intermediary have made us Have the power of self-purchase to provide free services. "
After seeing Jason nodded and understood, Andy continued to laugh, "But the fee will not wait too long, hasn't the company already bought the copyright of my" House of Cards "? Maybe you can invest in the filming by the end of this year. Let it be our first paid web drama! "
Hearing that his big boss mentioned the hu video and bought his film and television adaptation right of "House of Cards", Jason, as EO, came out with a black line on his forehead. The copyright of "House of Cards" is too expensive.
His own boss and the company that killed himself are not relentless. No wonder he can become the richest man in the world!
Andy can also guess Jason's idea, but he won't sell it cheaply. After all, mocking bird copyright company is his wholly-owned salary, and hu video is a joint-stock company, and there are seven or eight shareholders alone. Large shareholders, but they will not let themselves lose, cheaper others ...
