Chapter 223: A Series of News
Back in the office, less than ten minutes after I sat down, Zhao Qi knocked on the door and came in, holding a stack of documents and with an undisguised smile on her face.
"Mr. Fu, good news keeps coming!"
She placed the documents on the table and handed over a variety show cooperation agreement first.
"The first season of 'Running Man' has ended, with a total viewership of over 8 million. The monthly active users of Nebula Video have surged to 3200 million, and the new user retention rate has remained stable at over 70%."
Hunan TV and Zhejiang TV are vying for the rights. Zhejiang TV offered 180 million yuan per episode for the first television broadcast of the second season and was even willing to give up its revenue share.
Fu Yibai flipped through the agreement and raised an eyebrow.
"180 million per episode? That's higher than I expected."
"The main reason is that the first season was so popular that all the GG merchants recognize this IP."
Zhao Qi said with a smile.
"Yili offered 8000 million yuan for the title sponsorship of the second season, setting a new record for domestic variety show title sponsorship. There are also joint sponsorships. We have already signed four companies, and the total investment has exceeded 2 million yuan. It's like making money without lifting a finger."
"Can."
Fu Yibai nodded and gave some instructions.
"The agreement must clearly state that Nebula Video must retain exclusive online broadcasting rights, and the TV broadcast time must be delayed by one day compared to the online broadcast time, so as not to affect the platform's user growth."
The remaining details can be discussed and decided between you and Li Mingde.
"clear."
Zhao Qi agreed and handed over a second document.
"This was sent by General Manager Qi from Lieyang Investment. There has been new progress from Xingchen Technology."
Google has confirmed that the Android 1.0 beta will be officially released on November 5th.
Liu Siyuan and his team have completed the first round of discussions with Qualcomm, finalized the hardware solution for the first smartphone, and started system adaptation simultaneously. An engineering prototype is expected to be available by the middle of next year.
Fu Yibai took the document and flipped through it, a hint of satisfaction flashing in his eyes.
2007 was the year of smartphones. The iPhone had just been released and the Android system was about to be launched. As long as Xingchen Technology could seize this opportunity, it would gain a head start in the future mobile Internet era.
"Tell Qi Yuan and Liu Siyuan that there's no need to rush the progress; take it one step at a time."
Fu Yibai put down the document, his tone serious.
"Hardware quality control must be done well. System compatibility and user experience are the top priorities. We would rather launch the product a little later than risk problems that could damage our reputation."
Furthermore, patent strategy should be planned in advance; no patent application should be missed.
"Understood, I'll call President Qi and relay the message in a bit."
Just as Zhao Qi was about to turn and leave, Fu Yibai suddenly called out to her, "Wait, there's something else."
He stood up, walked to the French windows, and gazed at the city lights gradually illuminating outside, pondering for a moment.
"Although Nebula Video's user growth is rapid, its content ecosystem cannot rely on just one hit variety show."
I have two more variety show plans here; you can take them and arrange for people to prepare them.
Fu Yibai took out the proposals for "Go Fighting!" and "The Voice of China" from the drawer.
These two items were not redeemed from the system, but rather created by him based on his memories from his previous life.
Now that the company has experience in variety show production, he doesn't need to prepare a very detailed plan; he only needs to provide a general outline and highlight some key points.
Zhao Qi took the proposal and quickly flipped through it.
"This 'Go Fighting!' is very similar to 'Running Man'."
"Won't this create internal competition?" Zhao Qi quickly grasped the key point and raised the question.
"Different positioning."
"Running Man" emphasizes team competition and entertainment, making it suitable for all ages.
The core of "Go Fighting!" is a "story-driven reality show".
It places more emphasis on the story behind the tasks and the chemistry between the men, and the target audience will be more young men and serious variety show fans.
The two complement each other, which can further solidify our competitive advantage in the variety show field.
By the way, I already have a preliminary idea for the cast of "Go Fighting!", which is at the end of the proposal.
Try contacting them.
"OK."
Zhao Qi nodded and glanced at the list of personnel on the last page.
Sun Honglei, Huang Bo, Huang Lei...
She then looked at the proposal for "The Voice of China".
"Mr. Fu, I would like to have Zhang Liangying become one of the mentors on 'The Voice of China'."
Her singing skills and popularity are more than enough.
Zhao Qi suggested.
After Zhang Liangying joined the company, Fu Yibai never really paid any attention to her.
Chen Mo and Lin Wei have always been in charge of her resources.
"The Voice of China" is a very good resource right now, and since Zhao Qi has spoken up to fight for it for him, he certainly won't refuse.
"Yes, but the mentor lineup needs to balance both ability and topicality."
Besides Zhang Liangying, also consider contacting Liu Huan, Yu Chengqing, and Na Ying. They possess both industry standing and the ability to engage audiences of different age groups.
"We can start preparing for 'Go Fighting!' and begin filming in the first quarter of next year, with a summer release."
"The Voice of China" needs more time to refine, especially the singer selection process. We should strive for excellence and release it next winter.
Remember, content quality is always the core.
In addition, the marketing department should plan spin-off programs and member-exclusive bonus content in advance to fully extract the value of the IP.
Zhao Qi nodded with a smile.
"Don't worry, the team is experienced now and will definitely execute the plan well."
