232: There are two platforms, which one should I choose?
Currently, there are three companies dividing the domestic short video market.
Huahu is undoubtedly the number one.
Following Huahu is the Orca platform, and the third is Xiyou.
Before Huahu's rise, Orca was the short video platform with the largest market share. After Huahu's rise, Orca fell to second place.
Huahu is very good, and Orca is not that bad either. At least so far, Orca still has the belief that it can surpass Huahu - the two platforms have different core user groups, and Huahu cannot shake Orca's foundation for the time being.
Xiyou's market share is third, but its problem is that the positioning of its core user group is a bit unclear. Xiyou wants to capture young users in first- and second-tier cities like Huahu, but is reluctant to give up the lower-tier users controlled by Orca.
Xu Yao asked Hua Bin to contact the two platforms privately, and both platforms were interested in Xu Yao.
The platforms value new users, and Xu Yao's joining is likely to bring in some new users. Thinking that those new users were recruited by Xu Yao from Huahu, both platforms were willing to extend an olive branch to Xu Yao. Furthermore, considering that Xu Yao had just become a top anchor at Huahu and then jumped ship, both platforms thought they could use this incident to generate a lot of hype.
"Now the question is, which one do you want to go to, Orca or Grapefruit?"
According to normal thinking, if Xu Yao left the first place, she would at least go to the second place. However, considering that Orca and Huahu have completely different core user groups, Hua Bin thought Xu Yao could try Xiyou: "At least Xiyou has a part of its user base that overlaps with Huahu, so it would be easy for you to start over at Xiyou!"
The grapefruit plate is a little small, but fortunately there is soil suitable for Xu Yao's development.
If Xu Yao can really capture Xiyou's base and become the number one actress in Xiyou, she may not earn less than she did at Huahu.
On the other hand, although Orca seems to have the smallest gap with Huahu, its core user group is completely different from Huahu. It may be difficult for Xu Yao to adapt if she switches to Orca.
She switched jobs from Huahu when it was at the peak of its popularity, and both Orca and Grapefruit welcomed Xu Yao.
If I had gone to Killer Whale and failed to develop, I would not have been treated as I am today if I wanted to jump to Grapefruit.
"Your suggestion is good. I need to think about it again."
Xu Yao hasn't made a decision yet, and Hua Bin isn't in a hurry. Hua Bin is making a rational analysis of which platform is right for Xu Yao, and which platform Xu Yao ultimately chooses depends on whether Killer Whale or Grapefruit is more sincere.
The signing fee, traffic support, and the duration of the "exclusive contract" with the platform are all factors that will influence Xu Yao's final decision.
That afternoon, Xu Yao and Hua Bin went to see the office building together.
Well, it is indeed closer to "Shengshi". There are two office buildings next to each other. I am afraid that there is a chance that I will run into Chen Yan and Wen Yiyi when I go downstairs to buy a cup of coffee in the future.
But apart from this, both the area and the rent were very suitable, and Xu Yao was very tempted.
“I think it’s okay to rent.”
Xu Yao didn't care whether the new office location was close to Shengshi or not, as long as it was not close to Huahu.
It is better to meet Chen Yan by chance than to meet Gu Jun by chance. Now she will not have any emotional fluctuations when she sees Chen Yan, but she will feel uncomfortable when she sees Gu Jun.
…
Xu Yao and Hua Bin had just looked at the new office location in the afternoon, and Gu Jun received the news in the evening.
At that time, Gu Jun was having dinner with Jiang Zhiyan. Jiang Zhiyan was not surprised at all that Gu Jun had someone monitor Xu Yao's current situation.
Jiang Zhiyan was just surprised that Xu Yao was really going to change her office location: "Could it be that she is really going to change the platform next?"
Gu Jun put the food into his mouth with a calm expression.
This restaurant was originally where Lin Meixian invited him and Xu Yao to dine. Lin Meixian said it was Xu Yao's favorite restaurant, and when Xu Qinghua was alive, the three of them would often come here. Later, without Lin Meixian's guidance, Gu Jun would often invite Xu Yao to dine here.
At that time, Xu Yao was sitting opposite him, and Gu Jun thought every dish was delicious.
After his divorce, Gu Jun kept himself busy, sometimes skipping a proper meal all day, and sometimes coming to this restaurant alone. According to probability theory, there was a chance Gu Jun would bump into Xu Yao here—a true chance encounter, a gamble on probability, and Xu Yao wouldn't be offended.
However, after her divorce, Xu Yao never came to this restaurant again.
When the person sitting opposite Gu Jun changed from Xu Yao to Jiang Zhiyan, the same dishes no longer tasted the same when eaten by Gu Jun.
"Take out the 'maybe' and she will definitely switch platforms."
Jiang Zhiyan always felt that there was a deep melancholy beneath Gu Jun's calmness. Not knowing how to comfort Gu Jun, Jiang Zhiyan could only discuss the matter objectively: "Where do you think she will go, Orca or Grapefruit? Probably Grapefruit. How can she survive in Orca? The popular videos there are all cheesy. Xu Yao speaks so softly. I can't imagine her waving her hands and calling her "old friend" at the camera. No, no, my head is about to explode when I think of that scene. How about I secretly make an effort to get her to sign with Grapefruit as soon as possible?"
At least you don't have to wave your hands when you go to grapefruit.
Jiang Zhiyan wasn't afraid of anything else, but he was afraid Xu Yao would just give up and go to Orca. There's no such thing as a broken wall, and as Gu Jun slowly stepped into the spotlight, it was only a matter of time before netizens would uncover the fact that Xu Yao was his ex-wife.
The former boss lady of Huahu waved her hands and called on her friends to shoot a cheesy video on a rival platform?
Xu Yao may be shameless, but Gu Jun and Hua Hu still have to have some dignity!
Gu Jun's tone suddenly turned stern: "You are not allowed to interfere in Xu Yao's affairs. It is her freedom to choose which platform she wants to go to. You don't need to help her secretly."
Whether it is to go to Killer Whale or Grapefruit, Xu Yao will think it over carefully.
It is Xu Yao's choice which platform to go to, but whether she can build up her account after going there depends on her own ability.
What's the difference between Jiang Zhiyan helping secretly and helping in person? If Xu Yao knew about this, she would definitely hate him even more!
Seeing Gu Jun's stubbornness, Jiang Zhiyan curled his lips and said, "Fine, I can listen to you and ignore everything. You can just continue to play the role of the infatuated ex-husband. There's a song that goes, 'Love is like flying a kite. The string can't be too tight or too loose.' If you really don't show your presence in front of Xu Yao, as time goes by, she will really treat you as a dispensable ex-husband!"
Xu Yao is in Huahu, and Gu Jun can still protect her secretly.
Xu Yao went to another platform. I wonder how many admirers she will attract as a young, beautiful and popular internet celebrity who is also divorced!
Putting aside other things, Xu Yao's ex-fiancé may not have completely given up on her. If Xu Yao moves her studio next to "Shengshi", wouldn't Chen Yan be the first to get the upper hand?
"A qualified ex should be as good as dead. Have you been brainwashed by this?"
Jiang Zhiyan's eyes were full of suspicion.
Gu Jun picked up the wine on the table and drank it all: "I have my own arrangements!"
——Men remain stubborn until their death!
Jiang Zhiyan changed the subject, "Jason contacted me today. He said he already has a draft of the painting I want to order, and he wants me to come over and take a look at it. Should I agree?"
