Didn't you say that we would lose money after filming?

Chapter 169 How much money can you make by approving advertisements?

Tang Ying was ecstatic, and Xia Yuan was also ecstatic.

Rounding it off, damn, they all have a bright future.

Xia Yuan was happy, of course, because the drama he wanted to film the most was "Kuang Biao", because as he said, "Kuang Biao" itself was the one with the fullest script and the best storyline among the three dramas, and it also maintained a sense of seriousness.

The only concern is that this one is the most expensive of the three.

As for why Tang Ying was so happy, did she need to explain why? Was she still needed?

Five hundred million! Excluding the one hundred million for the buyout, she could still lose another four hundred million!

Four hundred million, multiplied by four times the rebate.
That is, wow, 1.6 billion!

Thinking of her, Tang Ying, when had she ever done such a good deal? When had she ever had such a wonderful start?

Once she gets these 1.6 billion yuan, wouldn't a wonderful life beckoning to her?

Armani lipstick costs more than 200 yuan, so she can buy as many as she wants. Then she can buy several boxes of happy water, drink one bottle and pour one bottle! Then she can use one bottle to wash her feet, all is fine!

I can’t spend it all! I can’t spend it all!
And the most crucial point is that all the debts can be paid off. Then you will be debt-free and free, and you will be free to fly freely in the vast sea and sky, right?
Will she still need to depend on Xia Yuan's mood to live her life? She wants to turn the tables and become the master!

If you think about it this way, isn't that a golden legend? How could this not be a golden legend?

Therefore, both of them were very satisfied with the result of the lottery.

Now that the next plan has been successfully finalized, their work has gradually returned to normal and they are starting to get busy again.

After all, the annual holiday is over and the company is about to enter the first quarter of this year.

Xia Yuan also has to prepare the crew and get ready to shoot a new drama.

In addition, he is not only a director now, he is also the company's chief operating officer. In name, the employees in the company now have to call him Mr. Xia.

Therefore, he has to get involved in the new project as well.

For example, the online literature website that is about to be launched, and several newly formed film crews.

These are the company’s key projects this year, especially the new online literature website, which may be launched in the near future.

Xia Yuan also made plans for this.

He used to read online articles day and night. Just like countless other young people, he also had his own youth.

Although now as time goes by, his life has entered a busy stage and he no longer has much time to read novels day and night.

But it does not prevent him from having sufficient interest in novels.

So now, he has the opportunity to set up an online literature website and run it himself?

Isn’t that a godsend?

You know, the silent database in his mind, which seems to be a dead system, contains the cultural treasures of an entire parallel world.

But there are not only film and television works, but also novels.

So he decided to give the senior a surprise! A big surprise!

As the beloved senior student's favorite bedmate, shouldn't he let his wife make extra money?
Today is the most important department meeting before the website goes online.

Xia Yuan sat in front of the main seat and said to the first generation of website operators below: "Today is our most important meeting. I have almost finished talking about the website's operation module. Do you have anything else to add?"

"Mr. Xia." Soon, someone raised his hand.

It turned out to be the website's operations director. The operations director raised his hand and asked, "If we open a free reading model, and only open advertising business, isn't this too little profit point? And you know, the income from video ads is very low nowadays, and it is calculated by the number of views. If they don't watch the ads and just swipe past them, how can we guarantee our profit point? And can it really support the author's royalties?"

There is one thing he hasn't said yet, and that is, you have to know that online writers also need to eat. If the income from your royalties is not good, there are so many websites now, and although there are tens of thousands of online writers, there are actually only a small number of people who can really write well and make money.

For example, those high-quality authors who can write books with an average subscription of several thousand are actually only a few thousand people. If you remove the pseudonyms, the number will be even less, at least half as much. It’s always the same group of people who write. There are so many websites, but only a small group of people competing for them. Do you believe that as long as your website doesn’t make enough money, they will switch jobs in a matter of minutes?

This director actually jumped over from another toll booth. Xia Yuan made his own decision and poached him.

However, both the director and the other operations staff present were confused by Tang Ying and Xia Yuan's arrangements.

Hey guys, isn't it common sense that you have to pay to read novels? Why do you want to set up a free reading website? Can this thing really make money? Can it really have a future?
Isn’t this the opposite of the underlying business logic of online literature?
What on earth is the boss of this company thinking? Is he trying to lose money?
They couldn't figure it out.

But the treatment at Heye is there. The income they can get by working at Heye is many times that of other websites.

That's why they choose to switch to Heye.

Xia Yuan shook his head and said, "This is the business logic set by the boss. We can only follow it."

As for whether he can make money, he doesn’t know!
Of course, this is something he would never tell his employees!

All we can say is that he is doing his best to change the status quo. He has to find some profit points, such as advertising. This is Xia Yuan's idea after careful consideration.

After all, you can't make a pure loss on such a big project? In the case of free novel content, this is the only profit point Xia Yuan can think of.

Since we can’t make money from readers, we might as well change our thinking and make money from advertisers. Then readers will become their traffic, which is equivalent to a traffic tool to make money.

As for whether they watch the ads?
"Can't we just lock them to the page?" Xia Yuan said, "After they see a part, they can just lock it and have to watch a few seconds of ads before they can continue turning the pages. Our novels are free, so they should understand that. Also, we can actively attract them to watch ads so that they will be enthusiastic about watching ads themselves."

“What do you mean?” The director’s eyes lit up.

"Give profit!" Xia Yuan smiled and said, "For example, if the revenue from one page view of an advertisement is one dollar, then we give half to the author, and the remaining fifty cents, we give the other half to the readers. They can take the initiative to watch the advertisement, and after watching it, they can earn twenty-five cents. Let them earn a little bit, wouldn't that arouse their interest?"

Although they will earn a lot less this way, overall, Xia Yuan thinks it is feasible!
The director was also shocked: "What? Let readers make money? All this hard-earned money is given to users?"

What is this? This is a sin!
What is business? Isn't business always about making money from users? How can it make sense to let users make money?
Is this really possible?
However, Xia Yuan said, "We can give it a try. Can the front-end developers catch up? Just do as I say."

"You can try." The front-end manager nodded.

"Then let's do it this way!" Xia Yuan decided immediately.

So, this is what Xia Yuan has been busy with recently.

He then explained his arrangements to the senior.

After hearing this, Tang Ying naturally had no objection at all, but was instead overjoyed.

She said, it still has to be Xia Yuan.

Xia Yuan is indeed quite good at making movies, but isn't it said that professional matters should be left to professionals?

What does Xia Yuan know about online literature?

If we let him do what he wants, how can he not make money?
This wave is stable!

And let readers make money together and advertise?

Isn't this really making your own APP a mess?
If it is an app full of advertisements, who would be willing to download it to their phone?

You know, users really hate ads. Isn't this just ruining their goodwill?
And the most important point is, how can some batch ads make money? Especially the ads placed on APP, which are even less valuable.

This wave can be said to be a steady loss.

Damn, how come she is so talented?

Read novels for free, is this a genius plan that she could come up with?
If she is unstable, who will be?

After finishing the website work, Xia Yuan also began to prepare for the crew.

Time passes day by day.

Soon, just as the crew entered the casting stage, a special day arrived.

This day was a very memorable day for Xia Yuan.

That is, my senior sister's birthday is coming.
