Cheng Yuan personally formulated Tudou Video’s plan to go overseas to Japan and South Korea.

This arduous task was handed over to Zhou Tiedong, President of Remote Film and Television Overseas Business Unit, and Li Ying, President of Tudou Image.

The former is responsible for production, and the latter is responsible for business management and raising money.

Cheng Yu'an said at the time: "I know this task is very difficult, but we must do it."

Cheng Yu'an didn't want Tudou to be involved in the evil deeds of domestic video websites. The development blueprint he formulated for Tudou Video was to become an international online video website.

At least we need to occupy a certain market share in Asia.

Tudou’s plan to go overseas is Tudou’s most important strategy in the next five or even ten years. Remote departments, including a major film company and a major animation company, will all contribute to this plan.

It will definitely cost money, but the story of going overseas is very in line with the taste of the capital market, and Tudou has also received financial support from the capital market.

In order to expand the film library of Tudou's Japanese and Korean stations, a very large part of the money raised by Tudou for this project was used to buy copyrights.

The other part is used for self-made series and market expansion.

He didn't know whether he would succeed, but no matter what the result was, he would give it a try.

He strongly disagrees with the development model of the three original Aiyouteng websites. They have endless internal friction and have been burning money for ten years and are still unable to make a profit. In the end, they hope to increase membership fees to make the website profitable.

They all want to destroy their opponents. Once they become the dominant player, they can monopolize the market, and then they can manipulate users at will.

In the Korean market, io can still help, but in the Japanese market, remote capabilities are limited.

Remote has some channels and partners in Japan, but its influence is always limited, and Tudou Image needs to develop it itself.

But fortunately, Tudou Image has established a relationship with major Japanese companies such as Toho thanks to "Thieves 2", and is negotiating specific cooperation matters.

Of course, a certain price was paid.

For example, Toho bought out all the profits of "Rogue 2" in Japan for US$60 million.

Toei registered a new company and requested cross-shareholding with Tudou (Japan), holding % of each other's shares.

Nikkatsu has proposed to participate in the investment and copyright development of the next 300 episodes of Tudou (Japan), and the proportion will not be less than 40%. This figure is also still under negotiation.

How about being ruthless?

It has never paid such a high price to enter the Korean market remotely.

Back to the National Day holiday in China.

"Heart Blossom Road Release" shows absolute dominance.

"Ruffian Hero 2: Rise of the Dawn", thanks to Huang Bo, earned 31 million on its first day. Several other movies were not so lucky.

Ann Hui's "Golden Age" only sold 8 million on its first day.

You said, why would a literary film of yours be included in the National Day release?

Even though they knew that Ning Hao, Huang Bo and Xu Shan were competing with each other, they still had the guts to come in. I don’t know what China Film and Xingmei were thinking.

"Quiba 3" was even worse, with 6.7 million on the first day, and only 5.6% of the film schedule. It was not as good as another animated film "McDull, Me and My Mom" ​​in the same period, which both had 7.8 million.

The preparation of "The Wandering Earth" does not require Cheng Yu'an to do everything personally. He has a professional and experienced team to check it for him.

That's why he only has time to accompany his wife to watch the midnight screening of "Beautiful Heart" tonight.

The young lady was holding the popcorn bucket and enjoying herself heartlessly. She didn't have enough for herself, so she even fed a few to Cheng Yu'an.

The young lady stared at the screen, holding popcorn in her hand and extending it to her husband.

Seeing no response from the person next to her, Liu Yifei turned her head and took a look and found that Cheng Yu'an had fallen asleep leaning on the chair.

There were not many people at the midnight show. Except for the sound of the movie, the place was very quiet. Cheng Yuan fell asleep just watching.

The young lady also knew that he was too tired these days, and he had to prepare for a movie, and he had to take care of her when he got home.

In order to get pregnant, I have indeed been a little cruel to Cheng Yu'an these days.

Thinking of this, Liu Yifei's laughter also became smaller, for fear of disturbing Cheng Yu'an.

"Huh? Is it over?" As soon as the sound of the movie stopped, Cheng Yu'an was not used to it and woke up with a start.

"Yeah." Liu Yifei responded, "Let's go home."

"Well, let's go home." He naturally held his wife's hand, walked out of the screening room, picked up the car and went home.

After returning home, Liu Yifei said: "You wash first, I'll go over there to wash. It's too late, go to bed quickly."

"No," Cheng Yu'an shook his head, "Qianxi, please let me go, I will not do it tonight.

"I prepare a new film during the day and have to serve you at night. It's so tiring. I know you want a child, but you can't let me rest for a few days? Even the donkeys in the production team need to sleep."

Liu Yifei smiled: "I know you are tired, so take a few days' rest. I also wanted to give birth as soon as possible while I was still young and in good health. It would take two years for me to be 30, and it would be difficult to give birth."

"When I was little, I wanted to have children before I was 30."

Cheng Yu'an heard that his wife had let him go these days, and while packing his clothes for bathing, he responded to her words: "You women are precocious. When you were young, you always wanted to get married, Prince Charming, and have children.

“When I was a kid, I only thought about where to eat delicious food and where to play.

"When I get a little older, I think about what kind of job I will do in the future. You will never guess what I dreamed of when I was a child."

"Isn't it a movie?"

"Movies are something you only want to do after you turn 15. I'm talking about before you turn 15."

"Be a writer?"

"no."

"astronaut?"

"No."

"Athletes? Scientists? These are what our male classmates wanted to do when we were young."

"None of them. I used to first want to be a crew member, or the kind of sailor who travels across the ocean. I think this kind of person is so cool. Secondly, I wanted to be a cook and make whatever I want to eat. Thirdly, I wanted to be a doll.

.”

"Dollman?" Liu Yifei was puzzled.

"It's the one in the mall that puts on a doll and hands out flyers. I've wanted to do this since I was a kid."

The young lady chuckled: "Why do you want to do this?"

"It's cool. I wear a doll costume and no one knows me, so I can play whatever I want. Now I often want to wear a doll costume and dance like crazy. Hehe."

"How come these dreams never come true?"

"My family's conditions don't allow it."

Liu Yifei was stunned: "No way, isn't your family's condition very good?"

"Yes, that's why it's not allowed. If I were to do it, I would probably be the captain of a large cargo ship, traveling across the vast ocean, cutting through waves, and wandering around the world."

"Then how did you learn to film?" She knew very little about Cheng Yu'an's childhood. Her two grandfathers would tell her some things, but she had never heard him talk about them himself.

"On my 14th birthday, my uncle gave me a camera. When I was 15, I picked up the tape of "2001: A Space Odyssey" at home. Do you know how a 15-year-old boy felt when he saw "A Space Odyssey"? He became a hit from then on.

I packed up and decided to study film, so I entered the film school. You know what happened next." Cheng Yu'an said as he took off his clothes.

"No wonder you like science fiction so much." Seeing Cheng Yu'an enter the bathroom, Liu Yifei also packed up her clothes and went to another bathroom to wash up.
