Chapter 903: Advance on demand

December 18.
For a week, the lively Pengda Carnival finally came to an end.
The last day is the award ceremony!
This year's PD Golden Panda Award has added multiple awards in the "Film Selection Unit" and "Animation Selection Unit", which is no longer limited to the field of TV dramas.
Meng Lang's ambition is obvious.
At the beginning of the establishment of the Golden Panda Award, no one took it seriously, but it was the award that PD company made for self-entertainment in order to commend outstanding employees.
But the plan can't keep up with the changes!
As PD grows stronger, especially the social influence has soared. As an "internal award", the Golden Panda Award has gradually attracted attention.
At this time, Meng Lang made a decision.
Since five years ago, the PD Golden Panda Award has abolished the "internal selection" mechanism and changed to "open selection". The works applied for and nominated for awards can come from other companies in addition to PD Group.
It turns out that this step is right!
In the first two years, not many works have been applied for.
However, as the popularity of the "PD Golden Panda Award" has increased, more and more directors and producers are eager to get the "Golden Panda Award" to prove themselves, and more works have been applied for.
Take this year as an example!
In the TV drama unit, a total of 42 works were selected, 7 of which were produced by PD, and the remaining 35 works were from more than a dozen film and television companies at home and abroad.
The movie unit is even more exaggerated!
You know, PD Films is not very good at the film field, so the works are rare. The competition for the film unit of the Golden Panda Award is fierce.
There are 174 films at home and abroad. There are large-cost and large-scale productions as well as small-cost micro-films. Among all kinds of films, only 2 works are from PD.
They are "Star Warrior" and "The Lego Movie"!
Needless to say in the TV drama unit, the PD special drama is as simple as eating and drinking with its excellent quality and outstanding ratings.
But in the film unit, the situation this year is somewhat subtle.
The Star Warrior and the Lego movie are not such "award-winning" works. Although the audience has a lot of praise, can you win the Golden Panda Best Picture Award?
Meng Lang didn't believe it!
Although the Golden Panda award is owned by your own, you can't give up the sign of "fairness and justice" in order to take care of your own people, right?
Really do it like this...
Who will attend your awards ceremony next time? Isn't the Golden Panda Award notorious?
Based on this, this year's PD can be described as "very miserable." There are nominations for various awards, but unfortunately, they accompany the race throughout the race, and outsiders have taken most of the awards.
Meng Lang applauded in the audience, his hands were sore.
Looking at a Leah film and television director who gave an "acceptance speech" on stage, he couldn't help but sighed.
This scene happened to be captured by the live camera.
As a result, shortly after the awards party ended, a report called "The Frustrated Meng Lang" became popular.
The children sympathized with Uncle Meng!
Although he has made money that an ordinary director can hardly reach in his life, he has achieved unimaginable success in the field of commercial film and television. But he failed in film and television awards, completely failed.
look!
Even the Golden Panda Award held by my own company is awarded to outsiders, can we not "frustrate"?
"What the hell?"
Meng Lang also saw this report, and expressed difficulty in understanding the neat "sympathy" and "tears" in the comment area.
Didn't he sigh?
As for?
As for such an over-interpretation? When can a sigh become a symbol of "frustration"?
You can't look at it this way!
In this awards ceremony, although he returned empty-handed, the golden pandas were taken away by outsiders.
But think about it from another angle!
The Golden Panda Award is an "internal award" established by PD. What is the difference between whether he won or not? Isn't that a good thing for outsiders to win awards?
So many friends and businessmen are scrambling to hold black pig stinky feet!
Obviously it is a great thing, how can it become "frustrated" in the eyes of netizens? The reading comprehension of this group of people is really worrying!
of course!
Netizens are willing to think so, and Meng Lang will not stop them, let alone clarify the truth.
Frustrated, frustrated!
You see Uncle Meng is so miserable, can't buy some new toys to support him? The new carnival blessing bag, can children buy one?
No way? No way?
Wouldn't someone say with tears of sympathy in their mouths, but in their hearts wish Uncle Meng starved to death? Seeing him unlucky, my heart is happy?
...
After the carnival, the calendar also came to the end of 2023.
The New Year's bell is about to ring!
For 2024, Meng Lang has no other hopes, and all he thinks about is one thing.
What will my son catch if he catches Zhou?
Xiaotao's arrest of the Zhou ceremony has been prepared for nearly two months. The Lao Meng couple and Tao's father and mother Tao have carefully prepared more than 20 treasures.
There is a brush, there is a seal...
The list was prepared by four old people, and Meng Lang did not interfere. He only remembered that the strangest thing in it was definitely a Diga [Spark Prism].
This was added by Dad Tao.
In his words, the date of Xiaotao's birth coincided with the "End of Tiga", and the children became a mere defeat of Gatangieu. The spark prism just happened to represent his identity as the "son of light".
Meng Lang was very dissatisfied with this.
Xiaotao is the son of light?
What is he? Dad of Light?
This is too bad...
Of course, drawing a spark prism is pretty good. What Meng Lang is most worried about is the "football" prepared by Lao Meng.
Lao Meng's typical "pit grandson"!
This football has an extraordinary origin. It is the first goal scored by Bolton in the Champions League. It bears the signatures of all the club's players and coaches.
Everyone knows the heart of Lao Meng.
He has been greedy for the Champions League Big Ear Cup for a long time, but unfortunately his son's inability to do so makes it difficult for him to come true.
Therefore, Lao Meng simply abandoned his son and focused on his grandson.
He intends to train him to become a fan, or club chairman, in the future to lead Bolton to win the first "European Cup" trophy in club history.
The impact of the Champions League must start from the doll!
Not to mention, Lao Meng's plan is really good! If Meng Lang does not make trouble, Xiaotao will definitely do his best to realize "Grandpa's Dream".
but……
Meng Lang doesn't make trouble? is it possible?
Xiaotao can play anything when he grows up, he can play sports cars, but definitely...never touch football.
This thing has a bottomless pit!
A young model can give birth to a little black pig, and a sports car can sell for money if he gets tired of it. What about football? Hundreds of millions in a year, even the splash can't be lifted.
Take Bolton for example.
Only a portion of the money earned by the PD Qiguo branch can be withdrawn to the country. The remaining part must be invested in the local area, which is why Meng Lang acquired Bolton.
After so many years, his total investment in Bolton reached 500 million euros. But what did he gain?
A Premier League trophy, four-year Champions League ticket!
That's it?
Uncle Meng's heart is broken!
I knew it would be like this. Didn't it make sense to invest in football and build real estate in the local area?
It's too late to regret!
Meng Lang suffered a loss in this, saying that it is impossible for his son to repeat the same mistakes.
Tao Mi told him that Xiao Tao was more afraid of cats and dogs.
Therefore, Meng Lang secretly left the smell of pet dogs on the "signature football" prepared by Lao Meng by special means.
The old shady master!
What can't you do, spoil the first place! He doesn't believe it, Xiaotao can still choose football?
"Don't whisper here, come to the kitchen to help me wash the vegetables, my parents will be there soon!"
"I'm coming!"
Meng Lang jumped up from the sofa and walked into the kitchen to beat Tao Mi.
New Year's Day is approaching, and the two families haven't gotten together for a meal in a long time. It coincided with Xiaotao's first birthday, so I decided to gather together temporarily.
The potluck is nothing.
The old people play cards and dance leisurely all day long, no matter when they have time. Only Tao Mi and Meng Lang are busy at work.
Meng Lang has "Nava" involved in energy, and Tao Mi is responsible for the schedule and publicity arrangements of "Musical Notes".
Both of them are busy.
For today's dinner, Tao Mi rejected the interviews of the three media, and Meng Lang also asked Ma Teng to help him stare at the crew.
While washing the vegetables, Meng Lang suddenly asked, "My dear, have you sold the online copyright of the Mystery of Musical Notes?"
"not yet!"
While cutting vegetables, Tao Mi replied: "The current environment is not good, and several video sites are not bidding high."
Indeed!
Video websites were keen to fight the "copyright war" in the past few years. With the money of investors, he madly bought the copyrights of various variety shows, movies, and TV series.
Then it didn't work!
Investors are not fools. You burned billions or tens of billions of copyright fees this year. How much profit did you create?
There is a mine at home, so I can’t burn it like that!
Video sites that have recovered their calm have gradually reduced the demand for "copyright purchase". In order to expand the content section, they launched a large number of "homemade dramas" and "homemade variety shows."
simply put.
The previous video sites used money to buy "finished dramas" filmed by others. Today's video sites are more keen on self-made dramas that "invest by themselves".
That's why Tao Mi is very distressed.
With a total investment of more than 57 million yuan, it is difficult for TV stations to achieve profitability. Video websites have become the best takers for "passing on production costs."
But now, the picker chooses to give birth by himself, he will not pick it up!
How to pass the production cost?
"I have an idea……"
Meng Lang thought to himself: "You talk to Big Bird Video, let's develop an advanced on-demand mode!"
"Advance on demand? What do you mean?"
"How do you say it? It's a brand-new paid-to-watch model. Users can spend money on services and watch a whole TV series in advance!"
"Read it ahead of time?"
Tao Mi pondered: "What you call ahead of schedule, shouldn't it be faster than the TV station?"
"I am very sure of that!"
Meng Lang nodded and said: "It takes other people ten and a half days to catch up with the show, you can watch it in advance with a little money!"
"This mode..."
Tao Mi hesitated: "You will be scolded, right? Users will definitely resist this behavior!"
"Not a big problem!"
"If users want to scold me, they should scold me first. When someone asks, you just say that this is a decision made by the video site and has nothing to do with the producer, so no one will scold you."
Meng Lang thought very clearly, and after a long discussion with Chen Huan, Ma Teng and others, he finally decided to implement this model.
No way, to make money!
Big Bird Video is not another video website. It is either listed or backed by giants, and has the confidence to lose money.
The development of Big Bird Video to this day depends entirely on blood transfusions from the parent company of the group. The company's financial report is still in a "loss" state.
If you don't turn losses into profits, I'm afraid you won't be far from shutting down.
Must find profit growth points!
Advance on-demand, even if there is more scolding. For the website, it is definitely a decision that benefits outweigh the disadvantages.
Anyway, the black-hearted money he has made over the years is not a minority. Being scolded has also become a trivial matter, not bad.
There are also reasons for choosing "The Mystery of Musical Notes".
Balala Little Moxian’s first work has accumulated a lot of popularity and fans. The sequel will be broadcast, and countless people will definitely come to join in. This is the basis of popularity.
Second!
The small magic fairy series is not very high in the PD Group, but it is optional.
Even if it fails this time and the Little Demon Fairy series is affected, Meng Lang will not feel heartache.
Finally, the most critical point.
There are not many works launched recently, and Meng Lang really has no choice. Except for "Nava in Armor Warrior", there is only "The Mystery of the Musical Note of the Little Demon Fairy".
"Okay, I promise you!"
Tao Mi did not think much about it and agreed to it.
This surprised Meng Lang.
"Aren't you afraid? Doing this kind of thing may affect your style, and cause some fans to turn black..."
"You are not afraid, what am I afraid of?"
Tao Mi smiled: "We are a husband and wife, and we should have shared adversities. Since you need my help, why should I refuse?"
"Wife..."
Meng Lang’s eyes were moist~EbookFREE.me~ suddenly felt that he could marry Tao Mi, he must have saved the galaxy in his previous life.
Unexpectedly, Tao Mi exposed his nature in the next sentence.
"I think it's good too!"
"Don't think that I'm too pedantic, I can make more money, why not make it? What does it matter if you are a big thing and carry a little infamy?"
Ah this...
Meng Lang didn't turn his mind and asked for a moment, "You...when did you become like this?"
"I learned from you!"
Tao Mi proudly said, "Didn't you always do this? I learned from you, right?"
Not too much!
Meng Lang wiped the sweat from his forehead, feeling a little guilty in his heart.
This is Tao Mi!
How innocent girl was at the beginning, I was stunned for him to become like this! If her fans know, they can't lift the knife and chop him?
Red near Zhu, black near Mo!
What the ancestors said, there really is a certain truth!
The reason why Tao Mi became like this, he has to bear the main responsibility. But then again, he didn't teach Tao Mi, how did she learn?
Is it self-taught?
"You do not know?"
Knowing Meng Lang's confusion, Tao Mi said in surprise: "I thought it was your own book!"
"what book?"
""Black Pig Biography"!"
Tao Mi blinked and said, "Have you not read it? It has been very popular recently, and many celebrities are recommending this book!"
What the hell?
He is not dead yet, has the biography arranged for him? Meng Lang widened his eyes and suddenly thought of a possibility.
This book……
Could it be written by Ma Teng?
