Entertainment, I just like making movies

The back-to-school season is here, and the summer vacation is completely over.

"I'm Not the God of Medicine" finally grossed a record-breaking 3.134 billion at the box office, composing a song of realistic medical themes in Chinese-language movies.

During this period, the drug regulatory authorities struck hard at Laihua Pharmaceutical and several other major international pharmaceutical companies, with cumulative fines reaching tens of billions!

The huge momentum gave the Chinese people and thousands of patients with special diseases the hope of taking cheap medicines.

It won’t be long before special medicines are included in medical insurance!

At the same time, the General Administration interviewed Land Video, Tengxun Video, iQiyi Video, Youku Video, LeTV Video, the newly launched Mango Video, as well as eight video companies including Wasu, Bestcom, Mango TV, CNTV, and CIBN. Video TV licensee.

The cooperation between all domestic video platforms and TV licensees was urgently stopped, and a major rectification of the video industry began.

Tudou, Tencent, Youku, iQiyi, LeTV, Mango, etc.

More than a dozen video websites, large and small, have all received notices of rectification, and they have all removed their TV clients from the shelves and disconnected them.

Pirated TV boxes have been removed, TV series and variety shows have been removed from the shelves, TV stations cannot be watched online, and video websites cannot be watched on home smart TVs.

The double blow online and offline has made everyone in the video industry feel insecure.

On the Internet, a large number of netizens came out to express their dissatisfaction and asked what the General Administration wanted to do.

The traffic of major movie forums and small pirated film and television websites suddenly surged, and countless posts asking for film sources and seeds were posted every day.

There is no way. Since the rise of Internet video platforms and the spread of 4G smart phones across the country, hundreds of millions of young people have gained happiness through the palm-sized screen of their mobile phones.

With the five major video websites, Tudou, Youku, Tengxun, iQiyi, and LeTV, everyone can watch whatever drama they want, and as a member, you don’t have to endure a lot of advertisements on the TV.

Now that the General Administration has suddenly taken action, I will no longer be able to watch dramas in the future. Who wouldn’t scold me!

This move by the General Administration expresses two meanings!

First: Video platforms are resolutely not allowed to cooperate with TV licensees, and video platforms are not allowed to impact the radio and television market with TV licensees in the form of program service platforms and channel platforms.

Second: Even if you have a TV license, it won’t work. TV licenses are issued by the General Administration. He didn’t even say anything. What do you want to do?

Usurping power and class?

The situation without a TV license is even worse. In the name of combating piracy, the General Administration not only requires video platforms to remove programs and film sources, but also imposes penalties.

Among the five major platforms, Tengxun, iQiyi, Youku, and LeTV were all robbed.

The share prices of two major video websites, Youku and LeTV, plunged 26%, and their total market value suddenly fell below a record low.

Tudou Video escaped the disaster because it was the first to obtain the authorization from Oriental Pearl New Media’s Beshitong TV. The General Administration only stopped the cooperation between the two parties and disconnected the platform from offline home intelligence.

Movies, TV dramas and variety shows produced by Oriental Pearl New Media's business can still be played on Tudou Video.

Tudou's stock price experienced a brief upsurge, and then went backwards, breaking through the 40 billion mark in just a few days.

It has become the only platform in the video industry to benefit from this rectification.

Wang Wei, vice director and CEO of Tudou, has been smiling crookedly these days. He has called Fang Ziheng several times to talk about Tudou's future development, and his high-spirited demeanor no longer has the decadence of the marriage.

According to the latest situation, the total market value of Tudou Video has surpassed Youku, which is listed on Nakodas, and has become the first Chinese-language video website.

If this turmoil lasts longer, Tudou is likely to hit a new high and become the first video website with a market value of 50 billion.

In addition to Tudou, Mango Video, which was just established, is also safe and sound. The other party obtained the eighth license in June this year. Mango TV and Mango Video have the same name. Naturally, the General Administration will not engage in the following.

In the duplex building.

Fang Ziheng and Lin Feifei were sitting on the sofa in the living room, chatting about this matter while eating fruit.

He looked at Sister Lin with a proud look on his face and said with a smile: "Look, I said that getting the TV license early is the best way. The 5 billion invested in Oriental Pearl New Media has been recovered just by the recent increase in the share price of Tudou Video." More than half of it."

"Okay, I know you are great. Oriental Pearl New Media will be re-listed soon, right?"

Lin Feifei gave him a charming look and put a purple-black grape into his mouth.

"It's coming soon, in October, on the same day as Alibaba Pictures."

Fang Ziheng rolled his tongue, smashed it into his mouth twice, spit out the grape seeds and nodded.

Oriental Pearl New Media's current total valuation exceeds 100 billion, and it will be listed in Shanghai. The listing will continue to rise.

In the previous life, Oriental Pearl New Media Group reached a height of 150 billion at the end of this year and reached its peak in 2017, with a total market value of 230 billion.

Since then, it has been developing steadily, cooperating with several film and television groups such as Moying, Alibaba Pictures, Huace, and Huayi, and firmly occupying the top position in the domestic media field and the Magic City entertainment industry.

It was not until 2020, when the industry's cold winter arrived, that Oriental Pearl New Media's stock price plummeted. Like many film and television companies and media companies, it has entered a period of reverse gearing.

In three years, the total market value fell from 230 billion to 50 billion, making it one of the major groups that suffered the most serious damage to Chinese media stocks.

In this life, it is difficult to judge what the future will be like.

Hengyu invested 5 billion, accounting for 6% of the shares, ranking as the third largest shareholder. Judging from the current valuation alone, it has already made a lot of money.

With Fang Ziheng watching, even if the future does enter a cold winter for the industry like the previous life, Hengyu can retreat in time to get the cash back.

Concubine Lin sent over another grape and asked softly: "Zi Heng, what do you think is the purpose of the General Administration's move this time? Can we still develop a family TV box in the future?"

"Of course you can do it?"

Fang Ziheng spoke decisively, peeled off the skin of the grape and put it into the beauty's mouth. He pinched Sister Lin's straight nose and said: "After this rectification, the major video websites will accept the punishment, but they will never be willing to accept it for a long time. Such a situation.

As for capital, it has always been profit-seeking, even if it has not set a precedent. After knowing the market for home TV boxes, no one is willing to give up.

The General Administration cannot always be high-pressure and must point out a clear path for major video websites. "

"Where is the clear path?" Sister Lin asked leisurely while chewing grapes.

"Where else could it be? Of course it's authorized by TV!"

Fang Ziheng smiled, lay down on Sister Lin's lap, and opened his mouth to indicate that he wanted to eat.

“Regulate the industry while erasing any trace of smart home TV boxes on video websites.

That is to say, ordinary people can watch online videos, on-demand videos, and variety shows through TV, but they cannot be told which video website these contents come from! "

"Ah, is this still possible?"

Lin Feifei was shocked, picked a big grape, pushed the skin into Fang Ziheng's mouth, and asked him to continue popularizing science.

Fang Ziheng happily enjoyed the beauty's caress and talked about the situation in his previous life.

In the last life, after rectification, the General Administration reopened TV to major video websites and set several hard bottom lines.

The TV clients of video websites must not use their own brands, and logos such as Tengxun Video and Youku Video are not allowed to appear on home smart TVs.

In the last life, Tengxun Video was self-conscious and made a cool move. After purchasing the TV license from the national network television station, it changed Tengxun TV to Cloud Audiovisual·Penguin.

As a result, not long after it was launched, it was beaten to death by the General Administration, and many VIP members were snatched away by Youku and iQiyi, which had honestly revised their versions.

What does that mean?

The logo of Tengxun is a penguin. In the opinion of the General Administration, the word "penguin" has the suspense of promoting Tengxun's videos and cannot appear in smart home TV boxes.

In layman's terms, in the future, major video websites will only be content providers, which is equivalent to selling the platform's content TV copyright to the licensee. The TV client has nothing to do with the video website.

Even if it’s money, you still make money, and your reputation is gone!

Common people use TV sets to watch online videos. They only know about the jointly established TV box company, but not about the video website.

Only those who know it can know which platform this program is from through several popular variety shows.

For example, "Run, Brother."

People who often watch this variety show will remember the exclusive copyright they used to watch on Tudou Video, and know that this variety show is pushed to them by Tudou Video.

The approach of the General Administration was in line with Fang Ziheng's wishes. When Hengyu Media invested in Oriental Pearl New Media, it asked Tudou Video, Bestcom, and Xiaomi to establish a United Box Company to specialize in operating many content copyrights for TV clients.

The company's logo has also changed. It is no longer a potato, but a stove with stars. It has been changed to the Hengyu Group's series of logos.

It cannot use the banner of Hengyu. The newly established company is called Xingchen TV, which is currently available in more than a dozen app malls across the country.

Fang Ziheng and Rebus had the same idea, to seize customers and occupy the market first, and the good boy will take over later.

At this moment, we can't just let the General Administration say what it says. If we wait until the formal documents are issued after the rectification, and the major videos are authorized by TV, the flowers will be gone.

As far as Fang Ziheng knows, Hangcheng Ma has also started to move. Although it is not as fast as Hengyu, this guy is too smart and sees the right opportunity to further control Youku.

On the grounds of establishing a new company in cooperation with Wasu TV, and taking advantage of the decline in Youku's stock price, he intended to launch a private placement to expand his equity and influence in Youku.

Mango is still following the path of its lifetime, building its own video and TV boxes based on Hunan Satellite TV.

Due to the limited film sources of a broadcasting and satellite TV station, Mango TV’s growth rate in the app mall is too slow and it cannot beat Star TV.

Speaking of which, among many video websites, Mango is the most special. No one else can have the platform logo, but theirs can.

Fucked!

Fang Ziheng complained in his heart, turned over and hugged Sister Lin's waist and fell asleep.

Sister Lin looked down at his handsome face, his childlike posture, and his bright eyes with a hint of maternal brilliance, and said coquettishly: "You're still sleeping, it's almost ten o'clock, you won't go to the study meeting today?"

"If you don't go, you'll get annoyed by scolding them every day!" Fang Ziheng muttered, sliding his hands behind Sister Lin and pinching her hips twice.

In the past two weeks, he has been strolling around the hotel where the crew of "Immortality" stayed almost every day to watch Liu Qianqian and the others study the script.

As he watched, he became angry and scolded each one.

Among the film creators, even Liu Ye and Deng Chao, who have the best acting skills, cannot perfectly express the mythical style in their hearts.

Maybe it has something to do with not changing into costumes, but the bigger reason is that many years of modern dramas, ancient dramas, and comedy series have made it very uncomfortable for everyone to play mythical characters.

In this case, it is necessary to slowly adapt and slowly wash away the original atmosphere and labels on the actors.

Fang Ziheng was tired of scolding and put down his anxiety.

Anyway, there's still a lot of time before next year's Lunar New Year schedule. If it's not enough, just adjust the schedule and move it back.

"Immortality" must meet the desired effect in his mind!

In a blink of an eye, it’s the end of September.

Fang Ziheng pulled Liu Qianqian out of the hotel and took her to this year's Harper's Bazaar charity dinner.

"Oh, I'm not even ready?"

On the black Maybach, the young lady is dressed in white and black, a white slim-fitting shirt with black waisted casual pants, a pair of sneakers under her feet, her hair is shawl, and she is bare-faced. She looks like a female college student out for a weekend outing.

"Whatever you have to prepare, just donate some money when the time comes."

Fang Ziheng took her little hand, intertwined their fingers, and said casually.

If Hengyu Interactive Entertainment hadn't gone public, he, the big boss, would have to come out and hang out, so he wouldn't be too lazy to attend such a shabby event.

Just like when Hengyu Media was established a few years ago, when he first became a commercial director, he had to reveal his good deeds to the public.

This time, Su Mang from Harper's Bazaar invited her repeatedly and even went to Hengyu headquarters to deliver the invitation in person.

It is estimated that Su Mang was frightened by Hengyu's generosity at the beginning of the month. He donated 2 billion in cash to leukemia patients across the country. Which charity event would not be jealous.

Liu Qianqian looked at herself and then at her lover who was also dressed in casual clothes. Instead of worrying about his style, he said happily: "Why are we just the two? Are Tie Zi, Chao Brother, and Ye Brother going?"

"I don't know, why do you care so much? You are already a big star. Do you still need me to carry it with you every day?"

Fang Ziheng laughed and complained, gently rubbing the young lady's bare hand, and he couldn't put it down.

Speaking of which, Bazaar has become bigger and bigger in recent years, its fame has spread throughout the entertainment industry, and it even has considerable weight in the hearts of the public.

Artists in the entertainment industry, all of whom are well-known, have received invitations from Harper's Bazaar. Some artists are even proud of this, posting wildly on WeChat Moments and Weibo.

Many veterans who have been to Bazaar several times have already learned the inside story of Bazaar through various channels. Coming to one every year is more of a routine donation and a way to relax.

There are even some artists whose main goal is to maintain exposure, and it is impossible to donate money.

In particular, some artists came four or five times in a row without donating a single donation, and went all the way to the end, prompting Su Mang to announce the specific donation figures of a number of celebrity artists on Weibo, and slap those artists who didn't have any money on the spot.

The black Maybach galloped all the way to the venue of tonight's event, the Imperial China World Hotel.

The car drove into the hotel's land parking lot and stopped firmly at one end of the red carpet.

Outside the hotel's main entrance, lights were decorated, and a two-meter-wide red carpet was laid out for 100 meters. Both sides were crowded with fans waving glow sticks.

At the end of the red carpet, there was a wall of signatures. When the male and female hosts saw the Maybach, their eyes suddenly lit up.

With this person here, tonight's charity night will be even more glorious!

The female host quickly picked up her dress, trotted past the signature wall, and waved to the hotel: "Go and tell Sister Su Mang that Director Fang Ziheng is here!"

After the notice was sent, the female host ran back as fast as possible, adjusting her clothes while running.

Looking at the attentive look, the male host on the side couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and pursed his lips in secret disdain.

Sister, you are thinking too much!

With this person's status, how could he come alone? There must be a female companion by his side!

Under the signature wall, dozens of media reporters carried cameras and focused on the Maybach, which was about to open its doors.

The door of the Maybach opened, and Fang Ziheng and Liu Qianqian appeared in everyone's sight.

"Next, let's invite director Fang Ziheng and famous actress Ms. Liu Qianqian to enter!"

Kaka

Kaka

Countless flashes passed by.

"Sissi, Sissi!"

"Wow, fairy sister!"

"Fang Ziheng, Qian Qian, Fang Ziheng, Qian Qian!"

Waves of cheers rang out, fans waved light sticks and looked excitedly at the two people stepping onto the red carpet.

The man is handsome and dashing, the woman is beautiful and has a refined temperament.

The two held hands with confident smiles on their faces, like a pair of golden boys and girls who came from a wealthy family.
