Chapter 69
Something wrong with Watermelon Video?

During the past few days of the new year, although he has been at home, he often pays attention to the news on the Internet.

The development of Xigua Video has been smooth sailing. Since the topping plan was implemented for half a year, the performance has been booming, and the number of new users on the website has been increasing steadily. No problems have been exposed on the Internet.

Moreover, Fu Yiming's business ability is very good, what will happen to Xigua with him at the helm?

Besides, Watermelon is backed by Dousheng.

Douyin, as the leader in the short video industry, has a lot of internal talents and abundant external resources. It needs funds and connections. What problems need to be solved by an outsider?

And besides having a little money and filming two popular dramas, I really don't have any other abilities. What kind of medicine is sold in Guan Mingyuan's gourd?

I remembered that there was not much communication between the two before, except for leaving contact information with each other, they didn't even eat together.

The cooperation between the two companies was also in direct contact with Fu Yiming, and now Guan Mingyuan actually came forward to ask for it himself?
How strange!
Zhang Yang was full of doubts, he didn't agree directly, and wanted to ask what happened first.

In case of something that cannot be resolved, there is also a room for refusal.

After thinking about it, Zhang Yang asked calmly, "What happened?"

Guan Mingyuan on the other end of the phone sighed, and said with a wry smile: "It's a long story, and we have to start with the summit plan."

"You say."

Zhang Yang responded simply and listened attentively.

Guan Mingyuan was silent for a moment, as if he was trying to organize his words and think about what to say about this matter.

Zhang Yang didn't speak either, and waited quietly.

After a few minutes, Guan Mingyuan spoke.

"There are more than a dozen websites in China that make legitimate videos, the biggest of which are Tenggua, Aigua, and Yougua. They all have Internet groups as their backers. Do you know that?"

"Ah."

Zhang Yang nodded.

Behind Tenggua is Penguin, behind Aigua is Qiandu, and behind Yougua is a thief.

These three video websites are actually subsidiaries created or acquired by the group companies behind them to occupy the long video business of Longguo Internet.

And the three companies behind them are also the three big mountains of Longguo's Internet industry.

Anything related to the Internet can be related to them.

Guan Mingyuan continued: "The backing behind the three melons is very strong, all of which are more than one trillion yuan, and they are very famous in China.

Since the establishment of Longguo Internet, Sangua has occupied more than 80% of the resources in the film and television industry by virtue of its backing. Every company with a film and television business, regardless of size, good or bad, has all been eaten by Sangua.

Of course, these TV series can only be eaten by them, because Sangua also has the largest number of users in Longguo.

If the works produced by film and television companies are not given to them, should they be given to those small websites?

Not to mention whether the money is paid enough, but the number of users, resources in the circle and other hidden improvements to the company are not enough for a small website.

Therefore, many film and television works will choose to play on Sangua, which also leads to many small video sites not getting new episodes. They must either develop self-produced dramas, film and show them by themselves, or find another way to develop animation and introduce foreign works to barely gain a foothold.

And there are still a large number of small video sites that have failed to make anything, and have been completely submerged in the trend of development.

In the long-term development of the industry, the struggle among the three melons has always been equal.

But the companies behind them are all powerful, and no one can overwhelm anyone. Therefore, in the past few years, in order to avoid unnecessary consumption, Sangua has gradually formed a new competition model.

That is, at the beginning of each year, a so-called "melon skin meeting" will be held. At the meeting, Sangua decides the allocation of film and television resources for the new year through a method similar to betting. "

Speaking of this, Guan Mingyuan paused for a while, and then the sound of drinking water came from the receiver.

Guapi meeting?

This name
how to say?

Quite melon-skinned.

However, the content disclosed by Guan Mingyuan is top secret among the top platforms in the industry. Zhang Yang has not yet reached this level, and he has never heard of it. The more he listens, the more curious he becomes.

"and then?"

He waited patiently for Guan Mingyuan to continue talking.

After drinking the water, Guan Mingyuan took a breath and continued: "This meeting is only attended by Sangua internally every year, and no other video sites have ever participated.

Even if some small video sites protested to it and asked to participate in the meeting, they were rejected by them on the grounds that they were not qualified.

During the meeting.

Relying on detailed data surveys and a certain method of division, Sangua divides the resources of domestic film and television works into 100 parts.

Among these 100 resources, No.1 in the game can eat 40% alone, and the other two melons will not participate in the competition, and No.2 will eat 35%.

The same 35% of the resources, the other two will not participate in the competition.

No.3 eats the remaining 25%.

Every year, Sangua divides domestic film and television resources through this kind of gambling.

Except for some works that are destined to be popular, such as "Dragon Snake 2", or works that are not sure about three melons, they will use this method to divide up domestic film and television resources every year.

Over the years, Sangua has relied on this development model and has been standing at the top of the industry for more than ten years. Except for occasional misses, or showing kindness and giving part of the profits to other small video sites, there are no exceptions!

All this until we acquired Xigua by Douyin and entered the long video industry.

Because Alphabet Beat, to which our Douyin belongs, is also a leading company at the same level as Penguin, Qiandu, and Thief, so since our end, Sangua has been suppressing us in this industry, causing the company to invest a lot of money. developed.

Until the implementation of the summit plan last year. "

Guan Mingyuan took a breath, and continued to talk: "The original purpose of the top plan is to use a huge amount of cash to get a part of the share from Sangua, so that Watermelon can develop by leaps and bounds.

Originally, I didn't want to eat too much share, as long as I could change the embarrassing position of Xigua and other small video sites.

Who would have thought that with the broadcast of the Dragon Snake 1 series, the actual gains would be far greater than expected.

This also caused Watermelon Video to actually have the capital to compete with Sangua this year, and Sangua was unable to suppress Watermelon again in a short period of time.

Subsequently, the senior management of Alphabet Beat personally came forward to negotiate with the backer behind Sangua.

In the end, Sangua could only pinch its nose and temporarily recognized our watermelon's position in the industry, and acquiesced in Watermelon's participation in the "Melon Skin Conference" held in the imperial capital earlier this year.

of course.

Participation belongs to the participants. If you want to get more actual benefits through negotiations, you have to rely on Watermelon itself.

If watermelons want to participate in this carve-up feast this year or even in the future, they must pass their test.

This test is in this year's game.

If the watermelon is at the end, next year the watermelon will no longer maintain its current position, and the three melons will no longer care about the beating of the letters behind the watermelon.

And if Watermelon wins, it will get a total of 10% of the film and television resources from Sangua. "
