There are locations for various cuisines in the capital, it’s just a matter of distance. For agents in the entertainment industry, they usually have a lot of time.
The Cantonese restaurant where Sister Liu and others had breakfast had an elegant environment. The other five colleagues, both male and female, were somewhat convinced by Sister Liu's words.
Yes, there is nothing to say about iQiyi’s customized dramas, but how can the film library on an online platform rely entirely on self-made films? You still have to outsource the videos. So what standards are used for outsourced videos?
This is actually a question that comes back to square one. Because there are still a lot of people in iQiyi’s film purchasing department!
How did you become a traffic star? Isn't it because popular celebrities can earn fans' traffic by acting, and the platform can harvest more fish?
A middle-aged man said with a smile: "Sister Liu's words make sense." He picked up the teacup in his hand and took a sip in a relaxed manner.
"Hey, let's keep in touch with Mr. Chen, the senior vice president in charge of purchasing!" Another fat woman said with a smile.
"Haha!" The six agents here all laughed. An agent doesn't have to be pretty. But the stars under my command have to be beautiful. This is true for both men and women. In today’s entertainment industry, gender should not be too stuck.
Another woman in her forties wearing glasses smiled and said with emotion: "Sister Liu is still taller! In the end, pillow style is the best news channel in the world."
"Ha ha."
Several people laughed heartily again. Everyone knows that Liu Feifei, the "fairy" beauty in the entertainment industry, is Mr. Jing's lover. But no one would post this on the Internet.
So sometimes from the perspective of insiders, chasing stars is a very ridiculous thing. Of course, there are many people who understand. But there are always some people who need some spiritual sustenance and are willing to chase stars, and this is not the case.
Sister Liu smiled reservedly, feeling very comfortable in her heart. She contentedly enjoyed the compliments of several people and ate the steamed dumplings elegantly.
At this time, her cell phone suddenly chirped. It was a large text message sent to her by Liu Feifei that had been translated by voice:
Sister Liu, there has been a big change at iQiyi. I just heard the news that iQiyi is planning to spin off most of its departments other than film and television drama production and re-establish an iQiyi TV website.
It is said that Wang Xiaohui, who was originally responsible for iQiyi’s content, as well as his vice president Dai Ying, senior deputy director Li Liying and others will leave to join the new website.
Sister Liu was stunned for a moment and replied: "Feifei, why did you think of asking for inside information about iQiyi?"
Don't blame this for being strange. Because Liu Feifei's current management contract is with "Qinghe Culture", and the practice of Qinghe Culture is to produce one or two film and television dramas every year and sell them to make money or use them for promotion.
Zhao Qinghan is very good socially, he is self-taught, and he is very good at doing this kind of blending in the circle.
Therefore, as the top brand of Qinghe culture, Liu Feifei, who returned to the front line by accepting the advertising endorsement of international first-line luxury goods Hermès, will not pay attention to the internal changes of iQiyi.
Of course, if you boycott Yu on iQiyi, Guo’s hot searches will definitely make you unhappy.
Liu Feifei said: "Sister Liu, didn't I take on a Qing palace drama outside? The director asked me to inquire about the internal changes in iQiyi, so I asked Sister Su Mei."
Sister Liu thought for a few seconds and finally understood who "Sister Su Mei" was. Liu Sumei, human resources director of Phoenix Group. If Mr. Liu wants to inquire about iQiyi, it is absolutely certain that there will be no mistakes. Feifei's "friendship" is still very broad!
But Sister Liu had no intention of asking her beautiful celebrities to hide their clumsiness. Instead, she was embarrassed by the news.
iQiyi has undergone such a huge change that it even did not hesitate to carve out an "iQiyi TV". This proves that iQiyi's "drama purchase model" reform is serious. But she was embarrassed. What did she just say?
No matter how hard they try, there must be criteria for buying dramas. If they don’t look at the celebrity’s traffic, what else are they looking at?
Mud, what a slap in the face!
Sister Liu was not in the mood to sit here and drink morning tea, and said: "There are big changes within iQiyi, and I have some time to leave."
Everyone has a face. She couldn't get the news out of her mouth.
The five agents looked at each other and did not even try to persuade Sister Liu to stay. However, these people were all smart people, and they immediately understood that there might be something wrong with the purchase of the drama, so they all left and went to inquire about it separately.

…
In the iQiyi headquarters building.
Gong Yu, who had just finished an internal executive meeting, adjusted his glasses, took a sip of coffee, and smoked a cigarette with Wang Xiaohui with emotion.
iQiyi issued a statement on its official Weibo account yesterday afternoon: It will no longer cooperate with two directors, Yu and Guo, who were found guilty of plagiarism by the court. This caused a huge stir in the entertainment industry. It became a hot search in one afternoon and one evening.
However, this melon is not over yet!
People in the industry exchanged phone calls and soon learned about the major event that iQiyi was promoting: the reform of the drama purchase model.
That is, completely learning the Netflix model. First, iQiyi selects the topic (it uses big data to analyze users’ hobbies, which is currently about the same as traffic stars), and then bids for the script within the circle.
This news shocked the entire entertainment industry.
However, when everyone thought that iQiyi would be like this, there was another bigger problem that he personally revealed this morning: iQiyi was separated!
This is the climax of the whole incident!
Wang Xiaohui smoked a cigarette, feeling somewhat emotional. Gong Yu is still very talented. Since coming back yesterday afternoon, iQiyi has been at the forefront of the storm, but it was not until the meeting at 9 o'clock this morning that he knew that yesterday he encouraged and encouraged Gong Yu to go to Mr. Jing to state that iQiyi would include variety shows, live broadcasts, e-commerce, The proposal to separate the game and other departments together was approved!
"Mr. Gong, Dai Ying, and Li Liying, the two generals responsible for the platform's self-produced dramas, want to follow me to iQiyi TV. This is something I didn't expect."
Gong Yu just smiled, his face hidden in the smoke, and regardless of whether it was Wang Xiaohui who connected him or not, he said: "Old Wang, I am just watching helplessly as the already super-involved long video platform has two new ones popping up. The army is coming."
The tone was full of emotion.
Netflix's soaring stock price has indeed given the film and television industry a lot of imagination!
Phoenix Films has decided to build its own paid official website to broadcast its own movies and TV series to members. Moreover, classic dramas will be purchased from everywhere to enrich the copyright library.
The production model does not follow Netflix, but the classic production model of the United States, Japan and South Korea. Just because Mr. Jing does not have the resources of a TV station, he can only use capital to build a website to broadcast movies and TV series on the Internet!
Wang Xiaohui said: "Our newly established iQiyi TV is also owned by Mr. Jing, and it mainly focuses on variety shows."
iQiyi does a good job in variety shows. Among the ten most popular variety shows, five are produced by iQiyi!
But the field of variety shows is not exclusive to Youaiteng. Mango TV, for example, relies on its variety shows and does very well. And it has already achieved profitability, but the number of members is not as good as the three major platforms.
In addition, CCTV is also doing streaming media.
He didn’t think there was anything wrong with iQiyi TV bringing the team of self-produced dramas there. Neither Dai Ying nor Li Liying were interested in Mr. Jing's tactics, nor were they interested in the comments of the two great screenwriters Wang Hailin and Song Fangjin.
It’s not that they have to produce popular dramas, but they want to produce whatever they can to make money. The most guaranteed way to make money on the Internet now is traffic!
Gong Yu lit the cigarette ashes and said: "Lao Wang, what Mr. Jing and I are talking about is to spin off the live broadcast, game, e-commerce, variety show and other departments. However, now I feel that this operation is too slow, so I can just package and sell it to Mr. Jing. !
In this way, I raised a sum of funds to start producing films and TV series. Later, it’s up to you how to operate iQiyi TV! "
Wang Xiaohui was immediately stunned. Damn it...it's your uncle's!
The current shareholders of iQiyi are: Phoenix Group, Baidu, Xiaomi, and Hillhouse Capital. In addition to Gong Yu's 1.8% stake, there are also stocks held by other institutions.
If it is a split model, Mr. Jing's Phoenix Group may not necessarily invest in "iQiyi TV", which focuses on variety shows and inherits iQiyi's other apple tree business models. Mr. Jing was originally going to lay off employees!
On the contrary, this was an opportunity for him to get rid of Mr. Jing. Other shareholders may not necessarily give up such an opportunity to enter the long video platform.
But if it is sold to Mr. Jing, it will be over immediately. Those of them who thought they "escaped life" will continue to face the days of darkness! And in the future, there is a high probability that they will be laid off.
So does his series of connections make sense?
Gong Yu smiled slightly, put out the cigarette in his hand, shook hands with Wang Xiaohui and said goodbye: "Old Wang, have a nice trip!"
Wang Xiaohui forced a smile. Shunfeng Nima Gobi! You old silver coin.

At around 11 a.m. on the 30th, at about 11 a.m. on the 30th, Iqiyi was satisfying the audience with its big melon. Jing Gao was taking Chen Yujie to attend the private meeting of Chu Maotong, the boss of Hanhai Auction House, in Liulichang. A small appreciation party organized in the courtyard.
At the same time, Cheng Herong, the former boss of Ronghe Group and currently in charge of distant logistics, who is preparing for online and offline supermarkets, is transferring his son Cheng Yanxi from Phoenix Financial Group to work under him. Father and son go into battle!
What other assistant is more powerful if he has a son?
Of course, what he didn't know was that his daughter Cheng Zhao secretly skipped classes and followed her brother Cheng Yanxi to the capital. She no longer wants to major in economics at Shanghai University of Finance and Economics, but wants to enter the entertainment industry.
