Chapter 260 This horse is prone to cheating
"Right to speak..."
Meng Bai sighed: "This is not something that can be established easily."
The so-called right to speak is actually the control of resources.
If we talk about the industry with the most right to speak, it must be the relevant departments above.
Holding the power of life and death of "censorship", whoever is ordered to remove the product from the shelves for rectification must be removed from the shelves for rectification.
If your project cannot be broadcast, how can you talk about other things.
The second is the video platform, which controls the final purchase and broadcast rights.
However, there are currently seven or eight mainstream video platforms of all sizes, competing with each other, so it's not so bad.
Anyway, if this one doesn't have another one, there will be another one. If someone can offend all platforms at the same time, it can only mean that he is really not suitable for this industry.
Further down, there are production companies like Arclight that have "S+" level projects. In the final analysis
, the audience still watches the content in the film and television industry.
Companies like Arclight that can continuously produce high-quality content can, on the contrary, control the video platform to a certain extent.
However, this can only be regarded as an "indirect right to speak". If you want to do something, you still need various exchanges of interests.
If you want to improve your voice, you naturally have to start with the idea of "resource control".
The right to censor is a "topic that cannot be touched", so don't even think about it.
And the video platform is not realistic for Arclight. Not to mention the competition between the companies, even if it's just burning money, it can't afford it at all.
So if Arclight wants to break through, it can only find another way.
Hearing this, Meng Bai pointed at the invitation letter on the table: "Brother Jun, do you mean, awards?"
Income, reputation, and honor are what every film and television project wants to strive for.
Income comes from the platform, reputation comes from the audience, and honor is naturally various awards.
In the traditional film and television field, various official awards have long been deeply rooted.
So even if there are many new awards in the past two years, they are far behind in influence and authority.
But the web drama is a new track, and it can be said that there is a blank in the award area.
"You mean, we can start from the award point to improve Arclight's voice?" Meng Bai frowned and shook his head: "Too difficult."
Awards are not about who gets off early and who can take advantage.
Because there is a point that can never be avoided, that is, official support.
Only official ones can be called "awards", and those without official ones can only be called "commendations", "ceremonies" and the like.
Liu Jun naturally understood this point: "I suddenly had this idea when I saw the invitation letter that day. If it doesn't work, let's think of other ways."
"It's not that we have to give up directly." Meng Bai was interested at this time.
It is definitely difficult, but if it can be done, the benefits will be huge.
"I thought about it and felt that there are two ways. Either from the bottom up or from the top down." Meng Bai said.
"How do you say it?" Liu Jun asked.
"From the bottom up, it means first uniting the industry, and then using the general trend to strive for it from above. From the top down, it means first getting recognition from above, and then uniting with the token."
The two options have their own advantages and difficulties.
"Or should we do both at the same time?" Liu Jun said, "We should unite with the lower level and strive for the upper level at the same time."
Meng Bai tapped the table lightly, "It's not impossible, but the control and pull of the situation in this way must be very accurate. And Arclight's foundation is a bit weak if it relies on itself alone."
"It would be best if there is a strong external partner, similar to Weibo." Liu Jun said.
The two thought for a while, but couldn't think of a suitable choice.
"Don't worry, take your time." Meng Bai comforted, "This thing can't be done in a day or two, let's wait and see.
" "That's right." Liu Jun nodded, "Let's continue to consolidate ourselves and prepare in advance."
At this point, he remembered another thing: "Speaking of which, it seems that Arclight has never had much cooperation with Youku?"
Currently, among the major mainstream video platforms, Qiyi TV, Tencent and Youku are the first echelon, followed by Leshi.com and Sohu, and Mango TV, which has just entered the market.
As for PPS, PPTV, 56 and the like, they have either been acquired and merged in recent years, or slowly fallen behind, anyway, they have no voice.
The video platform market has also entered the Warring States period from the wild and unruly period to the era of warring states with many heroes.
Among the major mainstream platforms, Arclight and Qiyi TV have the best relationship, followed by Tencent Video.
Leshi.com is not mentioned, Mango TV has the program "Celebrity Detective", which can be regarded as a bit of fate.
Only Sohu and Youku have never cooperated.
Sohu is fine, it has been going downhill in the past two years.
But Youku is one of the "three major" in its heyday, and it is a bit abnormal that there has been no cooperation.
Hearing Liu Jun mention it, Meng Bai suddenly found it a bit strange.
"It can only be said that it is a coincidence. We have never had any dealings, so there is no cooperation."
Meng Bai spread his hands: "How about you, brother Jun, if you have any opportunities, you can talk to them and see if there is any place for cooperation. Projects or investment are all fine."
"Okay, I'll make a note."
——Meng
Bai thought that it would take some time for Wang Baoqiang, but he didn't expect that it would be announced directly after the celebration banquet.
In early September, a hot piece of entertainment gossip quickly became a hot search.
Wang Baoqiang, who had just been promoted to the "3 billion box office actor", posted an announcement on his Weibo.
The announcement directly stated that his spouse Ma Rong and his agent Song Ji had an improper relationship between men and women, so they would file for divorce. At the same time, the two would be held legally responsible for transferring company assets.
This announcement can be said to have caused a stir and instantly ignited the enthusiasm of the melon-eating crowd.
"Not only did she cheat, but she also cooperated with the adulterer to transfer assets. This is really amazing!"
"I finally understand why Baoqiang's agent took him to the variety show "Real Men" when he was so busy in the first half of the year. It seems that he was transferred away."
"I heard that the two have been hooking up for many years. Suddenly I have some doubts. Could Baoqiang's car accident a few years ago also be related to these two people?"
"Fuck! Murdering her own husband, this is simply the 'contemporary Pan Jinlian'."
"Hey, what you said is really 'insulting Pan'. Miss Ma is much more awesome than her."
"..."
Others questioned whether it was hype.
"Am I the only one who thinks it's a bit inappropriate to say such private information so publicly? Are you trying to hype up the movie?"
"Is the person above an idiot? The movie has already been taken off the screen, what's the point of hyping it up?"
"That's right, besides, what man would use something like this to hype up something?"
"..."
It must be said that Meng Bai and his team were right to decide to delay the news until the movie was taken off the screen, which directly wiped out the last place that could lead the rhythm.
Of course, such hot events are also inseparable from various joke makers.
"The latest Olympic news, Song Ji won the 'Essence Card', Ma Rong won the 'Lewd Card', and Wang Baoqiang won the 'Pain Card'."
"I went to the horse farm and chose a horse to ride. At this time, the horse farm master stopped me and said that the horse I chose was not good. I asked why, and the master explained that this horse has been ridden by too many people and is prone to cheating. I didn't understand it very well, and the master said loudly that this horse is prone to cheating!"
"Dear masters, is there anyone working in the Running Man crew? Can you help me ask Li Chen or Deng Chao if they need an agent? Or ask Huang Xiaoming! I'm not picky! I just really love this job! I don't need to pay, really! Wang Zulan is also fine."
"..."
Speaking of which, Ma Rong has been trying to get some popularity for many years, and now he has become a top star.
But no matter what, this is Wang Baoqiang's family affair and has little to do with outsiders.
Meng Bai thought it had nothing to do with him, but he didn't expect that some people on the Internet started to mention the plot in the movie, and they began to ask "Did the screenwriter know something in advance and hint at it?"
He almost vomited blood. This paragraph was clearly added by Chen Sicheng. What the hell did it have to do with him?
But there was nothing he could do. His name was on the screenwriter column.
Meng Bai didn't have a Weibo account, so he didn't mind it online.
But he couldn't avoid questions offline.
"So..."
In the co-pilot seat, Li Qin looked at Meng Bai and asked curiously, "You really didn't know before?"
