Who are you calling powerful?

"Grave Robbers' Chronicles 2" is led by Zhang Ruoyun and Gulinaza, and the newly popular Zhang Binbin plays the second male lead.

"Together with You 2" is led by Lu Han, and the female lead Xu Lu plays Guan Guan in the "Ode to Joy" series.

The lineup of the two dramas is excellent, with many top stars and several popular young actors and actresses. The most important thing is that the previous one has been successful, and the sequel will naturally attract more attention.

The afterglow of "Eternal Love" has not ended yet, and the two dramas have joined forces to dominate the online video website again.

Since June, PPTV's market share in terms of traffic, membership growth, exposure, etc. has been rising steadily, almost occupying the trend of slaughter.

At its peak, it once occupied almost 35% of the entire market share.

You know, PPTV's competitors are not weak. iQiyi, Youku, and Penguin are all big sites, and second-tier websites such as LeTV, Sohu, and Mango also occupy a small share.

In such a fierce battle, grabbing more than 1/3 of the market share is indeed a lesson for the entire industry.

iQiyi, which is planning to go public, is so anxious that it is almost hanging itself. The stock price of LeTV, which is already in crisis, is falling day by day.

There are financial big Vs who jokingly say that PPTV is digging a grave for LeTV.

Youku, Sohu, Mango, etc. have all been affected to varying degrees.

The least affected is Penguin, which was able to maintain a market share of nearly 20% at its peak, and it can be said that it and PPTV dominated half of the market.

It launched two online dramas, "River God" and "Ghost Blows Out the Light: The Ancient City of Jingjue" despite PPTV's bombardment.

Both of these are works of Tianxia Bachang. After Nanpai Sanshu and Blue Whale reached a cooperation, Penguin moved out Tianxia Bachang to compete.

"River God" has a good reputation, and its performance is a little worse, but it is also impressive.

"Ghost Blows Out the Light: The Ancient City of Jingjue" did not have the support of Noon Sunshine this time, but with the strong support of Penguin, it is still of good quality. Although it did not win, it can be said that it has withstood the offensive and did not fail miserably.

More importantly, these two self-made web dramas have built up confidence for Penguin.

It is not only Blue Whale that can make good dramas. Penguin can also produce high-quality self-made dramas.

Self-made dramas not only save a lot of costs for the platform, but also increase the platform's foundation and risk resistance.

PPTV and iQiyi have proved that buying dramas is only a stopgap measure. A successful platform must have excellent self-sustaining ability.

In this regard, Youku and Penguin are actually working on it, but Youku is more inclined to invest + hold shares in close companies, while Penguin is also training its own team and has made achievements in web dramas.

With the support of Penguin, a big sponsor + super traffic pool, and the development of the skill point of self-made dramas, Penguin can be said to be more and more difficult to deal with.

However, this is also within the expectations of Wei Yang and PPTV. This is the general trend of the industry.

As a terminal, the purpose of the platform is to form an industry monopoly and let all film and television companies work for it. Self-made dramas can not only save costs, but also be the key to suppressing film and television companies.

With sufficient self-made dramas, the platform is not controlled by the content, and the film and television companies have less bargaining chips to rely on in negotiations.

Either they obey obediently and choose to be dogs for the platform.

Or they will be banned, invest in countless dramas and fail to sell them, and go bankrupt and wait for death.

Of course, the actual operation is not that exaggerated, the platforms are not united, and the film and television companies are not without opportunities for mediation and counterattack.

But no matter what, the strength of the platform is unstoppable. From being a sucker who spends a sky-high price to buy dramas, it has become the maker of the rules of the game in the circle.

Even in many cases, the backers of artists and companies are no longer the Beijing circle or the Shanghai circle, but P Factory, Goose Factory, Tao Factory, Pants Factory...

So, as mentioned earlier, Boss Wei thought of this day a long time ago and was ready.

If you can't kill it, then fight it with real swords and guns!

At least so far, Penguin is still firmly suppressed by PPTV and cannot move.

Compared with the threat of Penguin, Boss Wei now attaches more importance to the further cooperation between Blue Whale and PPTV.

Strictly speaking, iQiyi is the best at producing self-made dramas, followed by Penguin. PPTV is not actually a self-made drama, but an investment cooperation.

Most of the hit dramas that PPTV broadcasts exclusively are produced by Blue Whale. PPTV participated in some of the investment and distribution, and also put its name on it, but in the final analysis, it is a Blue Whale drama.

Originally, this is nothing, it is all Boss Wei's industry, the left hand transfers to the right hand.

One produces content, the other is a platform, and they make money together, and everyone is happy.

But as PPTV began to operate and go public, it continued to be formalized, and the shares were relatively dispersed, and many operations were not very convenient.

After all, Blue Whale and PPTV are not actually the same company, but they are tied together because of Boss Wei.

In the future, it is likely that they will continue to be tied together, but due to the market, shareholders and even Boss Wei's personal interests, both parties will have to make a lot of changes.

For example, let PPTV hold shares in Blue Whale.

Blue Whale is Boss Wei's personal company. With Boss Wei, there is no need to hold shares in PPTV.

But in order to deepen the bond, as well as its own interests and voice, PPTV should hold shares in Blue Whale, so that it can be considered as a real family.

But here comes the problem!

How much shares should PPTV hold? Blue Whale is a one-man show for Boss Wei, so too few shares will not do.

Boss Wei can't just give up his shares, PPTV is not his company alone, so he must pay real money to acquire it, so how much should he pay?

After holding shares and becoming a family, will the cooperation method remain the same? If it changes, how to distinguish the right to speak and interests?

In short, there are many problems that need to be solved, and even Boss Wei finds them troublesome.

But it won’t work if we don’t solve it!

PPTV cannot do without Blue Whale, but cooperation like in the past is equivalent to carrying a blood-sucking bag on its back, and its development is too abnormal.

Blue Whale cannot do without PPTV, but it does not want to work for PPTV and wants to remain independent. The key is that Boss Wei also favors Blue Whale for personal interests.

After all, the latter is the entertainment giant he built with his own hands, and he holds 100% of the shares. To hurt Blue Whale's interests is to cut off his flesh.

…

"So the matter of shareholding is easy to discuss. The key is the right to speak and the distribution of interests."

Fan Xiaopang was eating walnuts, and after listening to Boss Wei's complaints, he pointed to the crux of the problem.

"For PPTV, holding shares is a good thing, and it is not a loss for me. If I take out some shares, the cooperation between the two parties is justified, and it is not a free prostitution. I can cash out a large amount of cash, and it will not affect my interest in Blue Whale." control."

Boss Wei is not a miser who holds on to his shares.

Leaving aside the fact that PPTV is under his control, he controls 100% of Blue Whale, and everyone from top to bottom is his, and he still has the final say in allocating 30% of it.

Under such circumstances, Wei Yang's too many shares would be wasted. Selling them to PPTV would not affect his ability to hold power, and he could still get a large sum of money.

What is really difficult is the voice and interests of both parties.

"The blue whales of PPTV all want to be the boss and take the big picture. I can't be too biased. Being caught in the middle is a dilemma."

Wei Yang prefers Blue Whale in his heart, but he went too far and PPTV should quit. After all, his reasons are legitimate.

To a certain extent, PPTV's decision to tie up Blue Whale is more in line with Boss Wei's personal interests. Due to reality and historical reasons, everyone would turn a blind eye as long as it is not excessive. However, Boss Wei blindly considers personal interests and goes against the interests of the entire company. and development, the impact will be bad.

Especially after the listing, Boss Wei cannot do many things as he wants.

As for PPTV's holding of shares in Blue Whale, he was labeled as a fake public benefiter and was called to drink tea.

Fan Xiaopang was stunned. He pondered for a moment and then made a stupid proposal.

"You might as well just delegate the power and let the two companies negotiate on their own, and whatever they fight for will be settled."

After all, the palms and backs of the hands are all flesh, and it's not appropriate for Boss Wei to control it. It's better to draw a line that he can accept.

The rest depends on the abilities of the heads of the two companies. They are both companies under Boss Wei. As long as his basic interests are guaranteed, which company has more advantages is actually acceptable to Boss Wei.

"That's right. It's not a headache for me as a boss. Let them fight for it."

Whoever has a bigger say is not as powerful as Boss Wei. Whoever gets the big share of the bargain will also belong to Boss Wei.

Wei Yang decided to pass the blame to the people below him, and gave him shares, options, and annual salary and bonuses. How could he not share the worries of his boss at this time?

"That's right. You win whoever wins. It's nothing more than winning. The big win is the small one. Besides, this is only temporary. If you feel it's not suitable, both companies are in your hands. You can just make adjustments later. "

Fan Xiaopang came up with a useful idea and was a little proud of it. Boss Wei was also a little impressed.

"Okay, you, you haven't learned in vain during this period, your level has improved very quickly."

During the period of raising her baby, Fan Xiaopang mainly focused on the beauty brand "Perfect Diary". At the same time, in order to improve herself, she bought a lot of books on business and management, and also signed up for relevant online courses.

Wei Yang didn't take it seriously at first, but now it seems that he is really serious in his studies. At least it can be seen clearly by onlookers that he is a dog-headed strategist.

"You are the dog-headed military advisor."

Fan Xiaopang threw a pillow at it and then looked at his phone.

"It's time, why don't you leave?"

Wei Yang looked up at his watch, but he didn't care too much: "I'm just a supporter, so it doesn't matter if I arrive early or late."

Having said that, after chatting with Fan Xiaopang for a while, he hurriedly left and took a car to a large cinema in Shanghai——

"Wolf Warrior 2" premieres today!

When we first arrived at the scene, many reporters stopped at the door. When they saw Boss Wei getting out of the car, they all rushed up to interview him.

But what is surprising is that these reporters neither asked questions about "Wolf Warrior 2" nor Liu Shishi and Zhao Liying, who have been invisible for a long time. Instead, they cared passionately about a man.

"Mr. Wei, what do you think of LeTV's Mr. Jia going to the United States? Does this count as absconding?"

Wei Yang originally didn't think about the opportunity, but he didn't expect that there were too many people to squeeze in, so he had to stop.

"I haven't contacted him yet, but I read on the Internet that he said he will return to China next week, maybe he will come back next week."

The reporter did not let him go: "It was previously rumored that you wanted to invest in LeTV, but there was no news later. Now that LeTV's situation is getting worse, will you take action?"

Wei Yang pushed away the microphone that was almost stuck in his mouth and said solemnly: "I and my company have never stated that they would invest in LeTV at any time before. It was all rumors spread by the outside world. As for now, we have no relevant plans at the moment."

Another reporter shouted: "If Mr. Jia doesn't come back, do you think LeTV will go bankrupt?"

"I don't know, but I hope LeTV can turn the corner."

After answering a few questions, Wei Yang seized the opportunity and, together with the "Wolf Warrior 2" staff who came to the rescue, finally broke out of the siege.

Wu Jing and his wife heard the news and hurried over to visit and apologize.

The reporters were quite content before, and most of them were at the venue. Unexpectedly, another group appeared from nowhere and blocked Wei Yang.

"It must be a financial reporter. I'm convinced. Lao Jia is not here. These people don't go to LeTV to guard. They will catch me endlessly. I have nothing to do with LeTV."

Wei Yang also couldn't laugh or cry. There were not so many financial reporters attending the press conference related to PPTV's listing. He was worried about when Lao Jia would return to China.

"Who makes LeTV the top one now? You are well-known and have been in contact with us before. Naturally, I want to attract you to join in the popularity."

Wei Fei next to him also broke the news: "There are rumors on the Internet that Mr. Jia of LeTV befriended you. Before going abroad, he even asked you to take care of him. There are rumors that there are noses and eyes."

Wei Yang: "..."

As a result, the news that Wei Fei found online, not to mention the fact that it had a nose and an eye, moved him a little bit.

However, this group of netizens in the comment area are a bit careless. What does it mean that Lao Jia has a big heart? He dares to entrust his wife to Wei Gou, and he is not afraid of having an extra hat when he returns home.

This is simply blatant slander and slander!

Wei Yang was furious. His boss Wei's style was a bit dishonest, and his reputation was a bit bad, but when had he ever...well, touched his friend's wife?

Boss Wei, who calls himself Bo Yuntian, was a little hurt. Many guests attending the premiere came to say hello to him, but he was just polite.

Until Lu Han brought a little girl over, Boss Wei suddenly became energetic.

"When did you two meet?"

Lu Han was a little confused: "Xiaotong has acted in "Together with the Window 2", you don't know?"

Of course Boss Wei doesn't know that the heroine of this drama is Xu Lu. Blue Whale and PPTV produce and invest in so many dramas throughout the year, so it's good that he can remember the starring role.

Now that Blue Whale has expanded its business, except for some key projects and those of interest, Boss Wei does not need to personally review them.

The role played by Guan Xiaotong is new in the second film. She is probably the third female lead. I haven't watched "Welcome to the Window 2" and Wei Yang doesn't know much about it.

Lu Han also knew that he had made a mistake. Boss Wei had so many things to do, so he had no time to spare, so he hurriedly explained.

"I also acted in "Wolf Warrior 2". Xiaotong happened to be in Shanghai, so she came over to support me."

It's normal for friends with good connections in the entertainment industry to cheer each other up. Most of the guests here today are friends of Wu Jing, and even Guan Xiaotong is not the only one cheering for Lu Han.

However, she was the only one who was taken alone by Lu Han to visit Boss Wei to brush his face.

"Okay, you guys get busy first."

Wei Yang wanted to say something, but he held it back again, waving his hands to let Lu Han and the others leave, sighing inwardly.

Maybe this is fate. He also told Yang Tianzhen, but he still failed to guard against it.

Judging from this meaning, even if the two are not together, they are still in the ambiguous stage. Boss Wei is not the one who beats the couple, so he can only help cover it up.

Until then, Wei Yang suddenly discovered that the men under his scumbag boss were top-notch, each one more innocent than the last.

Qiao Zhenyu had few affairs in his life and got married early.

Zhang Ruoyun has also been in love for many years and has never changed his mind. In this time and space, his career is more developed. The same is true. It is said that he has plans to get married.

In his previous life, Lu Han dared to announce his relationship regardless of his career. Now he has found the same person in this life, so he probably has the same courage.

No matter what Zhang Yixing does in private, his innocent persona on the surface never fails.

As a result, Boss Wei was a little embarrassed. The outside world should not talk about Blue Whale's feng shui of evil bamboos producing good bamboo shoots...
