Chapter 1688: Making Money, Even Your Own Pit!

Since March 6, when Popular King Michael Jackson held a press conference in England, officially announcing that he would return to the concert, he has shook the entire world orchestra.

This 50-year-old pop star, who has been portrayed by the media as the "Question King," has not been forgotten by enthusiastic fans, although he has faded out of public view for many years.

In recent years, Jackson's so-called strange behavior and changing appearance have forced him to pinch a sweat for his health.

Various media outlets, and so-called interested parties, revealed that Jackson had undergone a series of medical examinations prior to the press conference, proving that he was fit to perform a high-intensity concert...

Andy, who had already had a Jackson overdose, naturally knew better than anyone that all Michael Jackson's so-called 'problems' were false, but what if Andy knew?

Burns, plastic surgery, nose, ‘bleached skin', and hundreds of millions of dollars in debt, all of which originated in the 1993 'grievance'. It was this case that got Jackson into one weixie scandal after another and turned him into a "street rat."

For more than 10 years, MJ has been portrayed as a monster that's not normal from the inside out!

To be honest, Andy really likes MJ's music, that's all. In the face of this‘ mud pit ', Andy can only do what he can to help MJ. As for helping MJ all the way?

I'm sorry, I can't!

Especially since it involves a $2 billion copyright competition, how much does Andy have to pay to be a good person in the face of such a huge profit?

More importantly, MJ has closed himself down a long time ago, and no one believes him, even if Andy wants to help him, it's not even thanks, it's suspicion.

And it wasn't just Sony's people against MJ, it was the ‘white' people hiding in the dark in American society who were jealous and hateful of him.

So, what Andy can do for him is just give it within a reasonable business framework, and of course, do a little bit of what people are supposed to do, but it takes a good time, and it's up to MJ to decide what can change.

“What's going on with these two? ”

In the conference room, Andy watched two commercial agreements on foot basin singer Takamitsu Oda and Korean baby, promoted on HULU video, and promoted MV, slightly frowned.

“Boss, I agree.” At this point, a Chinese-speaking pot sitting at the head of the CEO.

“Why?” Andy looks to American Chinese tree Zhang, who was personally invited by ceo Jason to join HULU as development director.

“In order to attract Asian descendants and open up Asian markets, I believe that the aftermath of the war in Asia will attract great attention in Korea and in the foot basin.

The popular foot basin singer Yutaka Tada and the Korean Little Heavenly Baby launched the English album in the United States on a date. Both are very popular in Asia, but fans of both countries are looking forward to conquering the World Entertainment Center USA.

Plus, both companies borrowed our platform to promote, and they gave the right promotion costs after all. ”

After listening to this explanation, Andy nodded to Tree with satisfaction: “Nice plan. I've heard so much about Uda. But this is Bao. When I was in Korea, I heard that she was Britney from Korea. Oh, to split a cup in the American orchestra, it seems that there is no precedent for Asian singers to succeed at the moment. ”

“The baby's broker, SM Entertainment, has invested heavily in buying billboards and broadcasting promotional videos in places like New York and Los Angeles. In addition, there are frequent events in the United States, including a variety of celebrity banquets, and they want the female singer to be on our“ huluLive ”concert singles, for which they are willing to pay $1 million, which they don't understand... ”

“Ha ha...” Andy couldn't help but laugh when he heard Jason's suspicion, and Tree Zhang, who knew Asian culture, shook his head with a smile, "The reason they were willing to spend this money was because they could make more, if not more than a dozen times as much, by creating a standstill in the United States for their female singers and being very popular when she returned to Asia, an international star. ”

“Gold plated.” After listening to the boss explain it so bluntly, Jason was also sudden.

“That's it, huh, the other party pays the money, so the agreement is fulfilled.” Andy didn't mean silly hat. To be honest, as the most powerful industrial pipeline idol manufacturing base in Asia, Korean silly hat company really has a set. After a slight indulgence, Andy frowned slightly: “Well, let's not thicken each other up, but ask the lady singer in the foot basin. ”

“Okay, boss.” Without hesitating, Jason responded to Andy's suggestion that, as a pragmatist American, he would not hesitate to make money.

At the end of the meeting, Andy came to HULU's chairman's office, and Jason, who followed him, began to report separately, although HULU Video's current shareholders almost included four other Hollywood movie companies besides Disney, NBC, ABC, FOX, Andy Smith was the absolute controlling shareholder, and Jason, the CEO of Andy, was naturally the first to look at Andy.

“It's time to start a new advertising model for the next phase, telling our ad cooperatives that from the second half of the year, every episode of Hulu can be linked to an exclusive sponsor, and I believe that for big brand-oriented companies, they prefer to link their image to professional, legitimate, and well-crafted content. As a result, our ad revenue model will be more robust. ”

Andy came this time, more than half of it to make this decision. Knowing that advertising revenue is an important measure of the success of video sites. From the beginning, HULU video ads could not be skipped. This was initially seen as a joke by the video industry and thought it would arouse the user's disgust, but Hulu, at Andy's behest, cleverly dissolved this negative possibility by giving the user control over what ads to watch and when to watch ads.

Now that hulu video is the result of the second largest video site in the United States, Andy's decision is absolutely correct.

“Okay, boss. ”

“Continuing to expand the line of traditional media content provider partners, what small channels, web content providers, this time to include, we still have to adhere to the original concept, become the most numerous, full, one-stop service streaming service store on the Internet, to target Internet users who simply have access to the HULU network, basically don't have to go to other networks to watch the program. ”

Andy repeats what he said when he first sent Jason to take over as HULU video ceo, something Andy wants him to remember.

“Understood." Jason responded very seriously, going on to ask: "Boss, do we continue to be free? After all, we are now the second largest in the United States, and we have passed the newcomer period, and we have stabilized the market, and we have enough user viscosity, so maybe we can try a partial charge. ”

“The charging thing, can't rush!” Andy shook his head and rejected Jason's offer. After all, he was one of his own, and it was not a good idea not to explain it and answer the confusion of his men.

“For HULU, our users have developed a free consumption habit, when we are not in a hurry to break it, but to adapt to it. It's not too late to charge gradually after the consumer has become somewhat dependent on your product.

Besides, we have investors with huge video libraries to back up, so copyright prices are relatively low, licensing methods are relatively simple, and the wealth of advertiser resources that the three big companies bring to intermediaries gives us the strength to buy our own free services. ”

After seeing Jason nod his head, Andy continued to laugh: "But the charge won't wait too long. Didn't the company already buy my" Cardhouse "copyright? Perhaps at the end of this year we can invest in it and let it be our first fee-paying online show! ”

Hearing his big boss talk about HULU video buying his "Cardhouse" film and television adaptation rights, Jason's forehead as CEO came out with a black line, his face was unnaturally pulled a few times, not because of anything else, just because the "Cardhouse" copyright was too damn expensive.

My boss, killing my own company is not soft at all, no wonder it can become the richest in the world!

Andy can probably guess what Jason thinks, but he won't sell it cheaply. After all, ridiculing Bird Copyright is his full salary, and HULU Video is a joint stock company with 78 shareholders alone. He's a big shareholder, but he won't let himself lose, cheap others.
