Chapter 97 Considerations (Silver 710)
After the winter vacation, Qinzhou Art Institute has started school for a while. It is the warm spring of March, the green poplars and grass on Changting Road, and the plants on the campus have become lush again, creating a scene full of vitality.
This afternoon the sun was just right and the breeze was not dry.
Someone is talking about Lin Zhibai's family group.
Dad: [The filming process has been very smooth during this period. Our crew is about to finish filming and we can go home in a few days (fireworks). 】
Mom: [Come back and cook braised pork elbow for you. 】
Dad: [Isn’t it the nanny’s burning?]
Mom: [Are there any questions (smile)]
Dad: 【(sweat)】
Brother: [I wish my dad’s new drama a great success. 】
Sister: [Brother Tian doesn’t need to be so official in the family group. I can bring some of Qizhou’s specialties. 】
Dad: 【Okay. 】
Xiaohei: [Okay. 】
Xiao Heizi Lin Zhibai is really happy. The efficiency of the three major filming is really high. Of course, my father is also a great director. Seeing that "Hurry Up" is about to be completed, it is still far from the official broadcast of this drama. ?
Now everyone in the industry thinks that Kunpeng is the main producer of variety shows.
In the future, peers will find that Kunpeng’s business scope is very broad.
Including but not limited to variety shows!
At this time, Jiang Cheng called to report that Kunpeng Investment had hired two people, an assistant and a driver. Lin Zhibai said that it was not convenient for him to greet new people in the company, and Jiang Cheng had to confirm that these two people were reliable. Appropriate contact, he is very cautious in this regard.
“I’ll check it out.”
Jiang Cheng smiled and said: "It's just like the boss inspected me back then."
Lin Zhibai couldn't help but smile. He had indeed inspected Jiangcheng for a long time at that time, and he had used psychology. After all, the position of Kunpeng's spokesperson was too important. Of course, the current results also showed that there was nothing wrong with his vision.
Jiangcheng is excellent.
At this time, Jiang Cheng added: "Nathan has decided to buy out the copyright of "I Love to Remember Lyrics". Their final bid is 12 million. The boss thinks it's okay, so I signed a contract with them."
“Sign it.”
Lin Zhibai agreed, "After the money arrives, our Kunpeng Investment account's liquidity should be 20 million, right?"
“We should have about 23 million after the payment is received.”
Jiang Cheng heard Xian Zhiyi: "Does the boss have any investment ideas?"
Lin Zhibai pondered and said: "A little superficial idea, not very mature yet. You said before that Gale Network wanted to sell it, right? Find out why they want to sell it, how much they are going to sell it for, and also find out the current situation of this website. I Need detailed information."
“No problem, I’m learning more about Gale Entertainment recently.”
Jiang Cheng asked cautiously: "Is the boss interested in their website?"
Lin Zhibai explained: "Today, the market share of TV stations has been severely squeezed by competition from major video websites. We at Kunpeng may not have our own TV station in the future, but we must have our own website, but it is too early to talk about this now." It’s too early, so let’s check first to see if there are any suitable candidates.”
"OK."
Jiang Cheng promised, but his heartbeat accelerated a little.
When the boss mentioned the company's future plans, he inadvertently sketched a blueprint that was too big, as if he wanted to create an "entertainment empire" comparable to the three major ones!
And I will work with my boss to create such a future.
As if he had guessed what Jiang Cheng was thinking at this moment, Lin Zhibai smiled and said: "When there is still a gap between ambition and reality, just walk the path you are on first, regardless of whether the distance is smooth or steep."
“I’m done with this bowl of chicken soup.”
Jiang Cheng smiled and spoke, and the two chatted for a while before hanging up the phone.
Jiang Cheng was right, Lin Zhibai was indeed interested in Gale's video website, but no matter how cool the website was, it would probably take hundreds of millions of funds to buy it.
There is not enough money now.
As for why you don’t just create a new video website from scratch?
Because film sources can be a very troublesome problem, acquisition is the best way.
As for what to do after winning the website, Lin Zhibai had some ideas. He wanted to learn from the operating model of Netflix in his previous life.
This company is also referred to as "Netflix".
Netflix is a subscription-based streaming media platform. If you want to watch movies on the website, you need to pay for a subscription. Of course, it is 100% ad-free. This platform does not make money from advertising.
It is also a video website.
In previous lives, the advertising business of video websites such as iQiyi and Penguin Video accounted for a very large percentage of profits. Can Netflix do without advertising?
The answer is yes.
The Netflix model has achieved great success by relying on the video subscription business. Many of the world's most popular works in previous generations were invested by this company.
For example, "House of Cards."
For example, "Squid Game".such as "Dark Glory" and so on.
After many years of operating Netflix, the number of users has successfully exceeded 200 million, which is already the same as Disney. Of course, they also face some dilemmas. For example, although they can produce a few high-reputation dramas, they spend so much money on so many dramas. It is impossible for every product to be guaranteed to be a hit, otherwise it will inevitably suffer a large loss. These are the hidden dangers of its model.
Then why does Lin Zhibai want to learn?
Because Lin Zhibai has a systematic existence.
After all, such a big problem has been opened.
Lin Zhibai is much more stable than Netflix.
No one in the world is more suitable than Lin Zhibai to take this route of purely focusing on the quality of his works, so it is inevitable for him to layout video websites in the future.
Let's imagine:
Those popular dramas in the previous life, Lin Zhibai, can only be kept on their own website in the future. Anyone who wants to watch it can pay to subscribe. However, the quality of the works on this website is really high, so are you willing to pay for this website?
certainly.
Wanting to start a Netflix in another world requires sufficient capital. Even if Lin Zhibai acquires a video website, he will not directly engage in the Netflix model. After all, his conditions in all aspects are not yet mature.
…
said that the video website is still too far away, Lin Zhibai has been paying attention to the star rating in the next few days.
Mainly paying attention to Never Night Hou.
After all, Chu Ci and Bai Di are both top-tier celebrities, and Night Marquis cannot be left behind. Besides, the "Collection of Short Stories of Night Lord" has been released. Looking at the discussion in the academy, we know that the influence is pretty good. Logically speaking, there shouldn't be too much. The big problem is that this vest can be upgraded to the fifth level.
Now it’s like playing a development game.
Chu Ci, Bai Di, and Bu Yehou are all his pets. The first two pets have been upgraded. Of course, the last pet must also be upgraded. Not to mention that it is related to some plans. I can't accept it just because of my obsessive-compulsive disorder. Okay. Lin Zhibai finally waited for this day—
March 8th!
Biyehou has officially been promoted to the fifth tier!
At this point, Lin Zhibai’s three vests have all entered the fifth-line sequence. He seems to like the feeling of developing this kind of vest?
Coincidentally, on the same day, my father announced that the entire crew of "Cyclone" had officially finished filming. He had already boarded a plane back to Qinzhou and arrived home at eight o'clock in the evening.
It can be considered a double happiness.
Let’s start writing the new book of Evernight Hou next.
Lin Zhibai turned on the computer and started copying "Jieyou Grocery Store".
The story of this book revolves around a grocery store on a secluded street. It is said that as long as you write down your troubles and put it in the mail slot next to the rolling door of the grocery store, you will get yourself in the milk box behind the store the next day. Wanted answer…
The story is very heartwarming.
The warm style contains some fantasy elements, involving the timeline. Keigo Higashino finally strings all the timelines together to form a beautiful logical closed loop. His writing ability is well reflected in this book.
The book has a total of just over 200,000 words.
If Lin Zhibai goes all out, he can finish it in three or four days, but he has always written intermittently. He writes when he has time and puts it aside when he has no time. Anyway, it is not something that is urgent, such as "I am When "Singer" is updated, he will give priority to watching the program.
This program has been airing for a while.
It has been updated to the eighth issue at this time.
What surprised Lin Zhibai was that Lin Shouzhuo hadn't been eliminated yet, including Sun Gu, who came in as a replacement at the beginning of the third period, and still stayed until today. However, these two people are a bit weird, and they are on the edge of elimination in almost every period. Playing Heartbeat, including the singer rankings of today’s eighth competition results, is also the same:
First place: Zhang Xiyang
Second: Han Yueshuang
Third: Xia Yulong
Fourth: Yue Shanlan
Fifth: Sun Gu
Sixth: Lin Shouzhuo
Seventh: Pang Dahai
In the end, the second-tier singer named Pang Dahai was eliminated. This was the replacement singer who came in in the seventh period, but unfortunately he could not continue to stay on the stage through the replacement like Sun Gu. Lin Shouzhuo was once again surprised by ranking sixth. Survived dangerously.
Facing this result.
Lin Zhibai was thoughtful.
Both Lin Shouzhuo and Sun Gu have proven their abilities on the stage of "I Am a Singer", not to mention Zhang Xiyang, who has never fallen out of the top three in each issue. Perhaps in the future, Bai Di's works can be prioritized with this one. The three singers are collaborating. After all, they are all artists under the department of my sister Lin Xi. In addition, they have a very good relationship, and they know each other well -
The styles of these three people are not narrow.
Sun Gu is good at transposition and is a skilled singer who can easily control even the most flashy works. Lin Zhibai plans to let him try more songs by Hu Yanbin or Wang Leehom in the future.
Lin Shouzhuo has a wide vocal range and can sing most pop songs with style.
Lin Zhibai planned to let him try more, as this child didn’t seem to have a particularly clear singing path.
Zhang Xiyang seems to be a bit invincible. After all, he is a singer-level singer. However, his voice has a slight vicissitude and hoarseness, so he cannot sing works that are too youthful. If he does it, he seems to be pretending to be young.
He can sing Li Zongsheng’s songs.
Perhaps you can also try Wang Feng’s songs?
Some of Wang Feng’s songs are particularly popular, and Lin Zhibai plans to customize a few.
With Zhang Xiyang’s voice, he can definitely handle half of the country’s rock music. His high notes are also extremely exaggerated, which makes Lin Zhibai somewhat hopeful...
“Song will be released next month!”
This is why Lin Zhibai has been paying attention to the show.
He will release a new song under the name Bai Di next month. He has to choose a partner from Zhang Xiyang, Lin Shouzhuo and Sun Gu, and then use the stage popularity of "I Am a Singer" to hit the season charts!

ps: After sleeping for six hours, are you seriously considering whether to sleep again?
