文娱商业观察 文/浮萍 2025年的长视频市场依然激荡。 从年初的大爆款《漂白》《国色芳华》，到年中全民热议的《生万物》《水龙吟》《沉默的荣耀》，再到年末的《唐诡3》《扫毒风暴》《反人类暴行》 等诸多高口碑内容的涌现，将观众的注意力焦点一次又一次拉回到长视频内容上来。 只有身处其中的人，才知道这样的成绩来之不易。在过去的几年中，长视频内容经历了短剧等一系列多样化娱乐方式的冲击，但令人欣慰的是，越是面临 各种挑战，就越能证明长视频内容中深度内容叙事、复杂议题讨论和深切情感共鸣的价值无可替代，这是长视频内容最核心的价值，也是广大用户和整个 社会最刚需的情感慰藉。 站在2025年末回顾过去一年，我们不难观察到，精品内容的创作方在推进"提质增效"的过程中，也面临诸多不确定性因素的挑战。与此同时，各平台也展 现出快速适应与调整的能力，在保持自身内容优势的基础上，持续探索创新方向，尝试以差异化的内容策略开拓市场空间，为平台在内容层面的发展提供 了新的可能。 借着年终盘点的机会，文娱商业观察也希望和大家分享一下，我们眼中的长视频平台的差异化内容是什么，以及它们是如何带来市场增量的，这或许能够 进一步成为2026年的长视频行 ...

云包场、收官礼，线上玩法多元 剧集云包场依然是今年平台拉新的重要手段，云包场模式最早兴起于电影营销，2023年长视频平台将其引进到剧集宣发领域，在今天云包场已经演变成诸 多大剧、爆剧吸引更多路人粉加入的重要手段。 因会员收入超越广告营收成为视频平台的第一大收入，会员增长一度被长视频平台押宝，如今，各平台也陷入了会员拉新越卷，增长越难的境遇。 根据最新数据显示，腾讯视频会员数出现小幅下降，爱奇艺自去年三季度开始宣布不再公布会员数，长视频会员增长由激进整体转入到瓶颈期。这是由多 重原因导致，免费短剧抢占了更多用户时长，剧集上新数量与爆款作品整体减少，以腾讯视频为例，2024年腾讯视频接连推出《与凤行》《繁花》《玫瑰 的故事》《庆余年2》等多部S+评级的大剧，来到2025年，腾讯视频虽然播出了《折腰》《六姊妹》《许我耀眼》等多部爆款作品，但是其在市场声量上 远低于去年的作品。 不过，在这样的环境中也有视频平台会员规模能够持平甚至攀升，根据芒果TV最新披露的数据显示，其有效会员数超过7300万，芒果TV在2024年末公布 的会员数为7331万，创下历史新高，芒果TV今年的会员数可以做到与去年持平甚至更高，另外，根据B ...
