Chapter 547 Domestic Animation? Everyone here? ???
After listening to this long, logically rigorous, data-supported, and highly persuasive argument, Ye Fan's eyes flashed with undisguised approval, and he smiled and nodded at Tang Huai'an.
Snapped.
In his heart, Ye Fan gave this mature and shrewd vice president a big thumbs up.
It must be admitted that Tang Huai'an is indeed a talented person; his depth and breadth of insight into issues are truly astute!
At this juncture, even if we invited the heads of BAT (Baidu, Alibaba, Tencent) to come, their market prediction depth would probably only reach the level of Tang Huai'an at most.
If Ye Fan were just an ordinary business genius without any "cheat codes," he would definitely adopt this textbook solution, which is the safest and most in line with classic business logic, without hesitation.
Because in this era of unbridled growth, the whole world is still clueless and regards live streaming as an auxiliary tool or a traffic funnel for "burning money to gain traffic". No one can imagine that this seemingly unprofitable thing will evolve into a terrifying monster that will devour a trillion-dollar market in the next few years!
However... Ye Fan is no ordinary person.
In his mind, the dramatic evolution of the business world in the next few years was clearly etched!
He knew all too well what a devastating storm would rage across the country when "live-streaming e-commerce," this ultimate business monetization model comparable to a nuclear weapon, was fully unleashed!
That will be an unprecedented super cake, enough to generate astronomical figures and completely overturn the entire traditional retail and internet landscape!
In comparison, film and television investments, with their long cycles and unpredictable blockbusters, are not even worth mentioning in the face of the all-encompassing live-streaming e-commerce frenzy that will sweep everything in the future!
Thinking of this, the smile on Ye Fan's lips deepened, becoming as unfathomable as an abyss.
Since everyone is feeling their way across the river, cautiously probing the unknown undercurrents...
As the helmsman who holds the "map to the future," he naturally has to lead the giant ship of Minglu Culture onto a path that no one in the industry can understand or see through, but which is destined to soar to the pinnacle of the era—a path that defies the heavens!
......
Ye Fan pulled his thoughts back from the future, turned his head slightly, and his deep, ancient gaze landed precisely on the figure on the side of the long table who had been somewhat lost in thought from beginning to end.
"Manager Gu!" His voice was steady, yet carried a penetrating quality: "What do you think?"
"Ah? Mr. Ye... Mr. Ye!"
Lost in her own chaotic thoughts, Gu Yuejia's delicate body trembled suddenly, like a student who had been daydreaming in class and was suddenly called on by the teacher, hastily raising her head.
When she met Ye Fan's eyes, which seemed to see through all pretense and gaze into the depths of her soul, her heart skipped a beat, and she instinctively gripped the pen tightly in her hand.
Ye Fan took in the fleeting panic and attempt to conceal it in her eyes, and a barely perceptible, playful smile curved his lips.
He had just noticed the "racing goddess" and investment manager's absent-mindedness, and now was the perfect opportunity to test her true abilities.
Ye Fan shifted to a more relaxed sitting posture, leaning slightly towards her side, and spoke in a gentle tone:
"Mr. Tang's analysis just now was logically clear and insightful. Since the strategic focus is shifting towards the film and television industry in stages, as the head of the film and television investment department, do you have anything to add from your area of expertise? Or do you have any different or more incisive insights than Mr. Tang's?"
When the conversation turned to her most familiar and confident professional field, Gu Yuejia took a deep breath, as if she had instantly switched personalities.
The intense emotional turmoil subsided in the blink of an eye, settling into a calm and profound lake.
She is, after all, a "goddess" who has seen the storms of capital and fame and faced life and death on the track. Once she gets into the zone, her competence, confidence and sharpness as a top professional woman are instantly on full display, and her aura is fully unleashed.
She gracefully and deftly opened the densely filled research notebook in front of her, cleared her throat, and spoke in a clear, steady voice with a convincing rhythm:
"President Ye, President Tang, and colleagues. Over the past period, our film and television investment department has mobilized all industry resources and connections to conduct a comprehensive and granular review and data modeling of the film and television industry trends in China over the past five years, and even in major global markets."
She got straight to the point:
"An undeniable trend is that after the bubble period caused by the frenzied influx of capital in the past few years, the domestic film and television industry is ushering in a truly meaningful market-driven 'supply-side reform' and 'value return'."
"This is specifically manifested in the film market moving towards a healthy polarization."
Gu Yuejia spoke faster, her gaze sharp:
"On the one hand, traditional blockbuster films, especially science fiction, fantasy, and heavy-industry visual effects, must move towards a high-quality approach that emphasizes large investments, large productions, top-notch visual effects, and solid scripts and narratives, in order to retain audiences with the ultimate audiovisual experience. This is a contest of 'hard power'."
"On the other hand, a large number of lightweight, high-quality web dramas have emerged in the market with relatively low production costs and perhaps only passable visual quality, but they are full of 'online appeal,' have a fast-paced plot like American dramas, and accurately target the pleasure points and emotional resonance of young viewers."
She paused, her beautiful eyes flashing with a sharp, data-driven glint:
"These two seemingly contradictory tracks have both garnered incredibly high traffic and reputation in their respective fields. This clearly shows that market consumption habits are being rapidly reshaped. Audiences are willing to pay a premium for the immersive visual feast of cinemas, and they are also happy to contribute clicks and topics to fast-paced and emotionally intense online dramas during their commutes, before bed, and other fragmented time."
She concluded, "Therefore, for Minglu, the safest strategy to hedge risks and maximize returns is to bet on multiple fronts and accurately position ourselves across different sectors."
She paused slightly, her red lips pursed, as if even she herself felt that her next point was somewhat ahead of its time or even "risky".
But as her gaze swept over Ye Fan's deep, unfathomable yet encouraging eyes in the main seat, she steeled herself and decided to reveal the "crazy" prediction that had been brewing in her heart for so long:
"In addition, while sorting through massive amounts of data, I noticed a 'value gap' or 'future trend' that has long been seriously overlooked or even biased by mainstream capital—our domestic animation industry."
"Domestic animation?"
These words, like a pebble thrown into a calm lake, instantly created subtle ripples in the conference room.
Several veteran department managers, accustomed to traditional film and television thinking, raised their eyebrows in unison, their eyes filled with surprise and incomprehension as they looked at Gu Yuejia.
