Chapter 716: We Can Do It Ourselves
Seeing Tong Yao jumping up and down with excitement, Chen Fan was a bit speechless.
"It's just recording a demo, and it absolutely can't be leaked in the future. Is it worth being this happy about?"
Tong Yao didn't care, "Why shouldn't I be happy? I can sing for Wen Wan and Jackie Chan to listen to. Even if only those two people hear it, I'm already very satisfied."
Chen Fan shook his head, expressing that he didn't understand the world of fangirls.
"Then you should follow the manager's arrangements next. But remember to keep it confidential, don't leak it out for me."
"Don't worry." Tong Yao was as excited as if she had won the lottery.
Chen Fan couldn't be bothered with this girl anymore and directly turned to leave for Feifan Technology.
Among the several companies, Feifan Technology was the one Chen Fan worried about the least.
As soon as they met, Liang Shichu excitedly reported to Chen Fan.
"Thanks to 《Chinese Paladin》, our Feifan Video has now far surpassed other competitors. We're currently ranked first in user data."
Chen Fan casually asked, "Tudou and 56.com should have launched as well, right?"
Liang Shichu was a bit surprised: "Boss, you're aware of that too?"
Chen Fan smiled: "Although I don't come to the company often, I still need to know about our competitors' moves."
Liang Shichu quickly said, "These two websites have just launched and are still in the stage of acquiring new users. They don't pose a threat to us for now."
"That's only temporary," Chen Fan advised. "We can't let our guard down. Also, pay close attention to Tudou, and keep an eye on their moves at all times."
"The video website industry is not like other industries. The initial competition is simple, it's about who can have more users and more clicks."
"To attract more users, you must have enough copyrighted content, so in the early stages, most websites burn money to purchase copyrights for various TV dramas and movies."
"As more and more video websites emerge, sooner or later there will be various copyright wars."
Seeing Chen Fan speaking seriously, Liang Shichu also put away his joking expression and nodded earnestly.
Chen Fan thought for a moment and said, "To deal with the competition from video websites, I'll give you two ideas."
"First, before our competitors react, start spending money to purchase copyrights for various TV dramas and movies."
"Remember, it must be exclusive rights."
"We're not short of money now, so don't be afraid to spend. Spend the money first, buy a large number of TV dramas and movies, sign exclusive agreements."
"Cut off the path for other competing video websites. Even if they have money, they won't have enough video content to compete with us."
Liang Shichu nodded. This logic was easy to understand, and it was also a method that he and the management team had summarized in their previous meetings.
Chen Fan then gave the second idea.
"While buying copyrights, we should also achieve self-production and self-distribution. We can create our own content creation platform."
At this point, Chen Fan suddenly remembered something.
"Oh right, I remember it's this month or next month, 《Super Girl》 Season 2 is about to air. You should immediately find someone to contact Mango TV."
"No matter the cost, we must get the exclusive online rights for this season."
Liang Shichu was confused, "《Super Girl》? The first season last year didn't seem to have such a big response, did it?"
Chen Fan smiled, "Trust me, I have a feeling that this season of 《Super Girl》 will become a phenomenal variety show."
It's worth noting that in the previous life, when talking about 《Super Girl》, people often considered the second season as the true beginning of 《Super Girl》.
Because this season gave birth to a phenomenal talent show star, Li Yuchun.
In addition, the top 10 of this season also included Zhou Bichang, Zhang Liangying, He Jie, etc., who all became the backbone of the music industry in the future.
It can be said that Season 2 of 《Super Girl》 eventually turned into a nationwide talent show frenzy, completely opening the prelude to domestic talent shows.
Liang Shichu wrote and drew in his notebook to record this.
He no longer questioned Chen Fan's intuition.
Because this boss had proven many times how sharp his vision was, from the company's initial establishment until now.
Chen Fan tapped the table with his hand.
"Going back to what we were saying earlier, besides buying copyrights, we can also self-produce and self-distribute, creating our own shows."
Liang Shichu was stunned.
"We're going to make entertainment shows?"
"Boss, we're not professionals in that, are we?"
Chen Fan smiled, "It's not like I'm asking you to do it. Don't forget, we now have an entertainment company too."
"We can completely copy the model of 《Super Girl》 and make a show. The name can be anything, like 《Idol Boys》. They're doing a female talent show, right? We can open up another track, specifically for boys' talent shows."
"Write this down. You can have a meeting with the people from Feifan Media later, both sides can discuss and come up with a specific plan."
"As for how to operate specifically, leave professional matters to professionals. If we don't have enough talent, we'll poach them. I can provide sufficient funds for this."
"Go to major TV stations, or poach people from Mango TV. Use money to poach people. If a 100% salary increase doesn't work, then offer 200%. I don't believe there are people who don't love money."
"The first show will be considered as training for our team. Once our team is fully coordinated, we can subsequently launch more variety shows."
"Imagine, in the future, our entertainment company can monopolize half of the domestic variety shows. After the shows are produced, they can be aired on our Feifan Video. It's a win-win situation for both sides. I'd like to see which platform dares to challenge us then."
This was the first time the boss had shown such a domineering and confident attitude in front of him.
But Liang Shichu didn't doubt it at all. Instead, he was completely motivated by Chen Fan's words.
If the future really turned out as the boss said, with Feifan Video and Feifan Media cooperating, continuously producing one high-quality variety show after another.
When the variety shows become popular, they can promote their own stars, and the stars discovered from the talent shows can also be signed under Feifan Media.
Then continue to use the resources at hand to produce albums for their own stars, shoot TV dramas and movies...
The more Liang Shichu thought about it, the more excited he became, feeling as if his whole body was trembling.
If everything the boss said could be realized.
Then the boss might have a new title on his head in the future.
The Godfather of Entertainment.
Chen Fan brought Liang Shichu back to reality with a smile and a sentence.
"It's too early to talk about future matters. What we need to consider now is how to fight the first battle well."
"You should quickly communicate and connect with Feifan Media. Try to launch this variety show as soon as possible to avoid being beaten to it by other competitors."
Liang Shichu nodded excitedly.
"Alright. I'll contact them immediately."
Then Liang Shichu reported to Chen Fan about other business aspects of the company.
The most eye-catching was 《Audition Online》. After being online for a month, its revenue directly multiplied several times. In addition, the number of online users was also constantly breaking new records.
Anyone could see that this had become a truly explosive game.
Just as Chen Fan got into the car after leaving Feifan Technology, he received a call from Feng Pojun.
"Boss, we've found him."
Chen Fan's eyes changed slightly, and he clenched his fist.
Finally found this guy.
