Chapter 104 Kiwi Fruit Exits Top Platforms
"The Silent Truth" uses the lives of prosecutors, police officers, forensic doctors, and journalists to tear away the darkness and convey the belief that "even in the darkest night, there are those who risk their lives to light the way."
Many viewers were deeply moved after watching it, and expressed their respect and admiration for the Mist Theater team led by Tang Lou.
Among all video platforms, KuMiao has truly set the industry benchmark for suspense dramas!
The success of the Mist Theater has made this 12-episode short drama format one of the mainstream formats for online dramas!
Penguin Video, Kiwi Video, and others could only follow in Tang Lou's footsteps and begin to imitate and produce these concise 12-episode short dramas.
After all, compared to those padded dramas with dozens of episodes, these short dramas are full of advantages and are more suitable for being broadcast on video platforms.
Such dramas also reduce many risks in terms of investment and production, making them a treasure for major video platforms.
Here are the kiwis.
Gong Yu's spirit has been completely worn down by Tang Lou.
After several mishaps and failures, the reputation of kiwifruit has now plummeted.
They can't produce any hit dramas in the short term, and it's difficult for them to create phenomenal variety shows. All they can do now is follow in KuMiao's footsteps and invest with minimal risk.
The current popularity of suspense dramas has prompted Gong Yu to assemble a project team and begin filming a 12-episode high-quality suspense drama!
Even if you can't eat meat, you can still have a sip of soup.
Gong Yu and Kiwi have completely submitted to Cool Cat.
This impact is comprehensive. After kiwifruit lost its status as a challenger, various capital sources, sponsors, and partners began to reduce their cooperation with kiwifruit.
As a result of this vicious cycle, kiwifruit gradually lost its leading position on top video platforms.
This time, seeing Tanglou launch another hit web series and make the Mist Theater an industry benchmark, Gong Yu felt nothing but admiration and envy.
"This tenement building owner is truly a genius. How did he come up with such a brilliant idea and plan?"
"Back then, our team was laughing at him for wasting money investing in Zijin Chen. Who would have thought that just a few months later, Zijin Chen would become China's Keigo Higashino, a top screenwriter of suspense dramas, and the copyright of his novels would be worth millions."
Due to increasingly tight funds and a sharp decline in the number of members, the kiwi platform's revenue has also plummeted. Investment in many of the originally planned projects has been reduced, and many projects have even been cut, leaving only a few flagship projects.
Miwei Media and Kiwi had a deep partnership, but now the platform's investment has decreased, its membership has plummeted, and its influence has continued to decline, leading Miwei Media to consider seeking a new backer.
Of course, with Tang Lou, a top-notch planner, KuMiao is already producing its own variety show projects, so it doesn't need to collaborate with Miwei to get a share of the pie.
Therefore, Miwei Media turned its attention to another major video platform: Tencent Video!
During this period, in the competition between Kiwi and Coolcat, Penguin Video, with its abundant resources and resources, steadily developed and grew.
Despite the decline in the popularity of kiwifruit, Tencent Video has firmly secured its second-place position by purchasing a large number of copyrights.
After the decline of kiwifruit, many partners and production teams began to contact Penguin. Penguin, of course, went with the flow and began to accept and absorb the elite teams that had left kiwifruit.
For Tencent, the upcoming video platform market will likely be a two-horse race between Youku and Tencent.
Alibaba and Tencent are two of China's biggest tech giants, and the competition between their two video platforms reflects the relationship between these two behemoths.
Tencent Video's aggressive moves have put more pressure on Youku.
After absorbing the elite resources of kiwifruit, Tencent Video's strength has increased by leaps and bounds.
The original Kiwi platform had limited funding, but after joining Tencent Video, as long as it can achieve results, it will not have to worry about funding.
These newly joined teams also need to demonstrate their value, and thus, a new round of competition has begun.
Tencent Video has been keeping an eye on Tang Lou's movements. They've been watching him closely as he becomes the vice president of Kuyang Entertainment and enters the film industry.
"This time, the tenement building has taken too big a step. I hope they don't waste their energy on the movie and ruin their original web series and self-produced dramas."
"His attempt at this new film will most likely result in a loss."
"Perhaps this is the beginning of his Waterloo. When a newcomer rashly enters the film industry, failure is highly probable."
"After this defeat, his golden image is shattered. Then we'll teach him a lesson in the variety show and web drama fields, and he'll be caught in a dilemma, completely losing his prestige at Kugou!"
...
The team at Penguin Video is much more ambitious than Kiwi, and their connections and resources far surpass those of Mihutao.
The biggest reason why kiwifruit companies are developing their own production projects is because they lack funds, but penguins have plenty of money.
This time, Tencent is preparing to take a two-pronged approach, investing in both its own production projects and its previous aggressive spending on acquiring copyrights.
Just then, Tanglou focused most of its energy on Kuyang Entertainment, which was the perfect opportunity to suppress Tanglou.
Cool meow interior.
With the explosive popularity of "The Silent Truth" and the Mist Theater, Coolcat has taken the lead, while its former competitor, Kiwi, has been in decline.
Cool Cat's colleagues originally thought the outcome was decided, but who would have thought that Penguin would seize the opportunity to rise up.
Facing such a behemoth as a penguin, everyone felt a lot of pressure.
"It seems the second half of the year will be another bloodbath for video platforms."
"We hope that Mr. Tang's 'Sheep Without a Shepherd' project will be successful this time, so that he can have more energy to stabilize our Cool Cat's market and position."
Amidst much anticipation, the crew of "Sheep Without a Shepherd" has already begun filming in full swing.
With the original "Drishyam" already in existence, this drama only needs to be adapted for local conditions, which is relatively easy. Films that have already proven successful are much less risky to remake.
The script for this film is excellent, and with the outstanding performances of award-winning actors and actresses such as Qin Hao, Tan Zhuo, and Chen Cong, the filming of this movie far exceeded expectations.
In Tang Lou's opinion, it was even more exciting than the original version from his previous life.
"Qin Hao is indeed a very useful card."
Seeing that the "Sheep Without a Shepherd" crew was making steady progress as he had expected, Tang Lou had more time to arrange other things.
Right now, besides "Sheep Without a Shepherd," the most important thing is preparing for the second episode of "Roast Conference."
According to the timeline, it's almost time for the first episode to be taken down and banned.
