It's apparently a 'must have' cliché in all these sorts of movies at this point, but god - it's so fuck infuriating when your 'hero'/'heroine' blindly rushes into something completely stupidly and without planning and then promptly gets completely manhandled as a result. I mean, I get it - you're angry, you're not thinking straight - but, like, multiple times in a row? And like, this isn't just "not thinking straight, might bake a cake," its literally "not thinking straight, gonna try and attack someone despite having a desk job and not being a field agent."

Once, she loses. The second time, thankfully, she stops herself - but only because someone else shows up. The third time, she gets knocked around and almost loses. The fourth time (this one was excusable, because it was the end and she had no other options), she gets knocked around and almost dies. And with each passing instance, it's just more and more infuriating to watch her act so ridiculous. Sure, it's probably meant to be some sort of "she's young; mental lapses happen" moment (actually, probably not - Bollywood hasn't done that sort of 'deeper' moment in a movie in ever), but as it keeps happening you just want to slap her and be like "what the fuck - stop and think for a second!" Of course, thinking apparently isn't part of her job description.

And that scene after a certain someone dies/is killed, and she's just sitting there screaming his name to get more information - like, chill out bro. He's dead. All that yelling isn't going to change anything.

Somehow she's working with secret agents and in a government agency, but has easy access to secret files (easily copied, too) and names over undercover agents (and no one can check to see who has accessed this important information) and folks just leave their computers unlocked so she can access it and do a international fingerprint search.

Some English lady shows up and randomly speaks some Hindi for a bit, and then we never see her again. Meiyang Chang - so funny way back when in Badmaash Company - has a very different role here, at least for the 10 seconds we see him for before they kill him off (those bastards!). Gulshan Devaiah has his typical role - he's good, no doubt, but you know from the start he's going to "twist" out the exact way that he does. It's super predictable at this point.

Jahnvi Kapoor's character literally makes me want to punch a wall. After she gets stuck, her decisions just get dumber and dumber - sure, she's being blackmailed and doesn't have many options, since she trusts no one (good choice, I guess, maybe), but like - see above re: thoughtlessly attacking people and consistently being overpowered. Know your strengths, and if physical fights aren't them (they're not), maybe don't go around starting fights.

Honestly, Roshan Mathew is the best part of this movie (only good part?) - if there is a sequel (there won't be, because this was shit, but they did end it leaving that option open), he needs to be a huge part of it. He doesn't really show up with much to do until after the intermission, but he's pretty damn good when given the scope after that.

The movie takes quite a bit to get going, then introduces a character and gives us a song (and then, almost as quickly, instant whiplash), and then sorta settles into this semi-high stakes thriller (multiple tasks, each having like 2-3 day timelines to be completed) that feels more high-stakes for her than anything we feel (except anger, at her actions) as she methodically gets all the hidden secrets by just easily stealing/copying them. It's got a political angle, as lots of Bollywood does, but it does try to do it slightly differently. Alas, it fails in this angle too because the 'political drama' never fully builds up the "why" until the very end (by which point you just want it to end so that she doesn't make another rushed decision and this time actually end up dead because of it), and the possible good bits of the story are let down by the bad bits of it.

I like Roshan Mathew here. A lot. The rest of it is junk.

A small studio with a monthly income of hundreds of thousands, can live broadcast slices reproduce the store group model?

Profitable live slicing is inseparable HE Tuber from the editor's personal creation.

At present, the vast majority of those who participate in live broadcast slicing are low-income groups with free time, such as mothers, student parties, and some unemployed people. Starting in 2023, more and more students will join Live Slice, many from the hinterland.

The investment in live slicing is very small. You can edit it on your mobile phone without using a computer, and the requirements for your mobile phone are not very high. It also does not require high content operation capabilities and skills, as long as the creator insists on editing every day. "As long as his account continues to be played, this matter is worthy of him doing it for a long time. Sooner or later, his video will explode." Hou Zongming said.

Generally speaking, a creator will create several accounts at the same time. After a period of time, accounts with poor performance will be abandoned. After a sliced ​​short video becomes popular, the creator usually slightly changes the content of the video and keeps publishing it until there is no more traffic. Generally speaking, the lead time for a popular short video on Douyin is about one week.

Yibang Power learned that the transaction volume of a single video of Crazy Little Yang’s live broadcast reached more than 1 million yuan. According to the share ratio, the proportion that the creator can get is usually several hundred thousand.

Meiyang MEIYANG is a Douyin women's clothing anchor with 16 million Douyin fans. She has opened live broadcast slicing authorization on Chanxuan. It is said that a live broadcast account with only more than 1,000 fans edited MEIYANG's live broadcast materials, and the sales of one video reached hundreds of thousands of yuan.

These popular sliced ​​accounts are sometimes called "high-authority" accounts, and they can become popular if they post anything in the future. These accounts belong to slice creators, and there are usually two development paths in the future. One is to be selected by authorized experts, and the two parties cooperate to realize monetization. The other is for the creator to delete the previous slice content, and then try to use high authority to create a brand new account to create his own IP.

Through slicing authorization, the master's materials and portraits are used to amplify the value, thereby screening out "high-weight" accounts. This is also a major reason why many masters and creators are willing to participate in live slicing. Especially for new ordinary creators, slice licensing is undoubtedly a good starting strategy.

Currently, for the slicing authorization of Sanyang Network and Chanxuan, one slicing account can only be authorized by one expert, and the maximum number of accounts authorized by a single expert is 5,000. As the number of authorized accounts increases, the sales of a single account may be at risk of dilution. However, "high-weighted" accounts can obtain longer-term and stable income from content after the market value of live broadcast slices decreases.

Despite their absolute advantage in numbers, low-income groups with free time have not created influential popular accounts and content. Most of these popular content and accounts are produced by small studios. Since this year, many studios specializing in live slicing have appeared on the market.

"We can roughly tell from the background whether it is an individual or a studio. If it is a studio, all its income will usually be tied to a company entity. If it is an individual, the income will be tied to the personal account." Hou Zongming told Yibang Dynamics, these studios have dozens of people at most, and as few as three or five people. A boss who understands operations leads a small team, and everyone edits content according to his ideas, and can earn hundreds of thousands of yuan in revenue in a month.

Right now, simply editing and publishing live broadcast materials will no longer get traffic. As for those accounts that do well, they add their own understanding to the creation, output videos that are more original and can better highlight the content of the master, and may also add different music and other materials.

Many practitioners told Yibang Power that the large-scale distribution of live broadcast slices has similar logic to the "store group model", but there are differences between the two. Store groups damage the e-commerce ecology, while live broadcast slices serve as short video tapes. The new model of goods revitalizes the content and traffic value of the short video ecosystem, which can not only improve the quality of platform content, but also provide a more efficient solution for content monetization.

The real question at the end of this movie, of course, is whether Kriti's character here is the same one as the one that showed up in that song in Stree. (Probably not, of course - hairstyle differences, plus location differences - but, still. Never know...)

Okay, but seriously, this was pretty fun. Bollywood still struggles with sci-fi and doesn't delve much into this type of 'fantasy' very frequently - I mean, we've had "turns into an animal" horror movies, but most of them aren't all that great and were back when the visuals were nowhere as great as they are now. But this one really clicks on all fronts. The songs - I mean, Apna Bana Le is a peaceful/melodious gem, and I'm not yet sick of Thumkeshwari.

What I really enjoyed, though, was the subtle (not so subtle?) focus on the environment and nature. Deaf ears, of course, but still - it's valid. And well done. The ideas of naturing protecting itself from the 'infestation' that is humans; the repeated themes of virus and humans as viruses; the 'insider'/'outsider' debate, as it refers to the jungle versus the outside world; the sort of peaceful isolation of the folks from that chaotic, selfish, heartless outside world - there's a lot to think about here, once you look past the initial "man turns into werewolf" thing. It's maybe not so much horror, but if you start thinking about what it is saying about humanity's impact on nature, it may sort of become a different type of horror altogether.

Even more than that, the scene after that night in the warehouse, where Jomin has had enough and is ready to abandon ship - that monologue is fucking brilliant and on-point. And he absolutely nails the delivery. The world - hell, forget the world, even just if we remain within Bollywood - loves to make those types of jokes about anyone different and play it off for laughs. Over and over again. And while this type of thing eventually generally leads to the character fighting back (I think this exact same thing happened with Vir Das and Meiyang Chang in Badmaash Company), many other similar types of 'pick on people' jokes are just repeated over and over again. But all his emotion there, and everything he says - it's brilliant.

Speaking of which, both Abhishek Banerjee and Paalin Kabak are absolutely awesome and scene stealers here, essentially from the minute they show up. Plus Deepak Dobriyal as Mr. Panda. The side cast here is absolutely brilliant (much like Banerjee himself and Aparshakti Khurana were in Stree), and they're a hoot to watch every time they show up. Varun Dhawan also does his part well, and Kriti Sanon too, in a smaller role.

I don't know how w werewolf would play into the dynamics of everything that happened in Stree, but I would love to see a return in Stree 2.
