April 22, US stocks closed Wednesday, B shares stand at $ 30.2, breaking the ten billion total market capitalization reached $ 10.493 billion. Although the stock price dropped after a day, as of the close of US stocks this Friday, Eastern Time, the share price of Station B was US$27.74 and the market value was US$9.1 billion.
Two days later, on April 24, Station B officially announced that it would make its first SS-level rap program "Rap New Generation" and prepare to go online in the rap zone, just in time for the first large-scale rap video "Weeds" at Station B. Two months.
Chen Rui said in an interview that "if you don't grow, you will die." Therefore, in the recent period, we can see that Station B is working hard to "break the circle", with more and more partitions, and more and more content. According to the broadcast volume in the fourth quarter, the five most popular stations are currently The content categories are lifestyle (including fashion and Vlog), entertainment, games, animation (plus Cosplay), and technology. As a company,
B has a complicated business. According to the previous 2019 financial report released by station B, the monthly active users of station B reached 130 million and the daily active users were 37.9 million.
However, for a community with a distinctive tone, too fast growth will also bring conflicts between old users and new users.
In the "Heartbeat Challenge Mixed Cut Competition" on April 7th, Xiao Zhan related videos dominated the list, but the quality was not proportional to the popularity, and a large number of users questioned the fact that fans swiped their votes. Although the official subsequently revised the rules of the event and apologized to the users, the intrusion of the rice circle culture obviously caused dissatisfaction among the old users of station B.
The accident did not affect the "circle breaking" schedule of station B. Two weeks later, station B officials announced the first self-made rap program "Rap New Generation". Self-made variety shows were originally the battlefield for long video platforms such as "Aiyou Teng" and local satellite TVs. Station B entered the game this time, and it seems that they want to further compete with them for user time.
However, judging from the program positioning currently announced by the official site of station B, the recruitment of players is restricted to "young people aged 18 to 25 who love rap", which also means that the current program is more oriented towards colleges and universities, and the radiation range is relatively It fits the current mainstream user group of station B, and is slightly different from previous programs. The growth logic of
B has always been "following the trend", that is, when a certain type of content on the platform increases, the official will increase its support. Earlier, the entertainment area was separated from the living area, and the digital area was separated from the technology area. It was because there were more and more UP masters and videos of related content. The current rap content actually follows the same logic.
The following is the other content of Sanwen Entertainment Weekly, divided into IP dynamics and industry events.
