Chapter 181
The ancient Greek god of record breaking
When asked this question, Ai Tianming said without hesitation: "I will follow the footsteps of Sister Sui. I will invest in whatever you invest in. I trust your vision 100%."
Ling Suisui stressed: "You may not always make money. I have invested in several dramas with Zhong Yao over the years, and there have been losses."
The quality of the work determines the lower limit, as for the upper limit, it really depends on the right time, place and people. Ling Suisui didn't want to deify herself in front of Ai Tianming. She also had times when she made mistakes and failed to anticipate things.
"I know." Ai Tianming nodded heavily. "Is there any business in the world that only makes money? But the success rate is definitely much higher than my own investment."
That being said, it is true...
Ling Suisui thought back to his "glorious record" and suddenly felt that pulling him into the car was a form of charity.
Ling Suisui only discussed the general direction with Ai Tianming, and the specific investment amount and method were coordinated by Tong Xiaoman.
"Under the Wave" is indeed not short of funds at the moment, and Tong Xiaoman wants Ai Tianming and Fengshou Media to jointly invest in a copyrighted drama set in the Republic of China. Although Ling Suisui did not participate in the film, Zhao Xianning and three others played important supporting roles, and the male lead was Chen Yuening.
Although there is a bit of an element of bringing money into the crew, several actors have been interviewed by the casting director, and who is assigned what role is decided by the crew.
Judging from the project plan, this is a high-quality, word-of-mouth drama (the actual production and broadcast effects are unknown).
In fact, Tong Xiaoman had calculated before that if Fengshou Media invested alone, it would be difficult to gain a lot of say to protect the rights and interests of actors, after all, actors have no human rights in the entertainment industry; but if the investment is too high, it will easily affect the company's cash flow, and the payback time for word-of-mouth dramas is much longer than that of idol dramas.
However, if Ai Tianming were to be brought in to invest together, their combined investment proportion would rank second on the list of producers. Given Ai Tianming's personality, it is Fengshou Media that actually has the decision-making power.
The cooperation was reached and both parties were very satisfied.
Fengshou Media was able to expand its voice without spending its own money, and Ai Tianming got the opportunity to get on board. Everyone has a bright future.

After all, it is the broadcast period of the drama. Even if he is on vacation, Ling Suisui still has to cooperate with the crew.
Updates on social media platforms can be posted by her assistant, but she is the one who personally handles the super topic flipping session.
During the celebrity drop, many users posted on the super topic. Ling Suisui only picked replies related to "Peach Blossom Burning", and also tried to recall in his mind where the latest episode was broadcast.
Although Taohua's script was leaked a lot...but as the lead actress, she definitely can't spoil it.
It is now mid-July and Peach Blossom has been broadcast for more than half of its duration. Just yesterday, "Peach Blossom Burning" broke the highest popularity record of Aoqi Video with a score of 11,839, becoming the new number one on Aoqi's must-see list.
Bad news: "Game is Online" can only rank third.
Good news: it was another work by Ling Suisui that squeezed it out.
The fans were excited. Although the fan platform repeatedly emphasized that they would not participate in the cloud booking - that thing was used by the platform to cut leeks. Really good dramas did not need it, and bad dramas could not be saved by it, but there were still many rich fans who waved their hands and added seats to Taohua's cloud booking.
The child is so motivated, what’s wrong with his fans spoiling him a little? We are all financially independent adults, so we are willing to give money to Suibao to spend!
The essence of cloud booking is to give membership cards to passers-by. Xiao Cai, a college student who had no living expenses during the summer vacation, grabbed one.
What she actually wanted to watch was Aoqi's variety show, because she liked a certain male idol at the moment, and ancient idol dramas were not her cup of tea at all.
But now that she had received the membership card of Ling Suisui's family, she felt embarrassed to use it for free. So she turned on her tablet to play TV series and played games on her phone.
I heard from others that if the sound is not turned on, it will not be counted in the playback volume, so Xiao Cai did not press the mute button and just treated it as the background sound of the game.
But as time went by, Xiao Cai's attention shifted from the mobile phone to the tablet.
Xu Fangfei's voice is quite nice. Take a look at her. Wow, she is so pretty and cute. She is completely different from the Ling Suisui I saw in the cinema before...
Before she knew it, Xiao Cai had been staring at the tablet for more than ten minutes, until a creative advertisement appeared and she came back to her senses.
God, it’s a good thing she was playing a single-player game just now! If I start my journey into the canyon, I will probably be scolded to death by my teammates.
Now that things have come to this, we’ve come here, seen it all… why not watch it a little longer?
And just like that, she caught up with the latest episode. Although it is quite enjoyable to watch more than ten episodes in one go, it is really frustrating to see the part where the two most stubborn male and female protagonists just confirm their feelings!
They have been close since the seventh episode, but they are both too concerned about their reputation to admit that they have fallen in love with their former "enemy". The two of them were so cocky that Xiao Cai wanted to press his head outside the screen so that they could kiss each other.
Xiao Cai glanced at the update time... Bad news, the latest episode was updated yesterday, and there will be no updates today and tomorrow! Only broadcast five days a week!
Even this scheduling method was caused by complaints from drama fans. Previously, the series was updated continuously in the first week, and then it was broadcast for three days and rested for four days. It was obvious that they were trying to make money from the audience's two months' membership fees.
In a corner unknown to the audience, Ling Suisui's team also made suggestions. Taohua's investment promotion is already the best in history. When piracy cannot be controlled, it is better not to be too greedy, lest you end up with nothing.
The team members' words were of course very euphemistic, but Ling Suisui's current status still makes the platform dare not ignore it.
She played the leading role in two of the top three must-see movies. In the words of netizens, it is not excessive for Aoqi to praise her, and they hope to continue working together in the future.
Therefore, the broadcast scheduling method changed to five days of broadcasting and two days of rest, ensuring that users who recharged their monthly cards within three days of the start of the broadcast can watch the whole drama within the validity period of their membership.
As for whether Peach Blossom will be continued after it is over, it depends on Aoqi’s next work.
Xiao Cai experienced the pain of chasing after the latest episodes. While she kept repeating that she would never watch a serialized drama again, she couldn't help but click on the platform's recommendation to watch the group variety show starring Tao Hua.
She is not just being fan-driven, she has a real crush on someone. She was just taking a look, how could she climb over the wall so easily?
The group variety show, which only had three episodes, has been updated. When Xiao Cai saw the secret room segment, several actors were frightened by the NPC and screamed, and they all stepped back at the same time. Only Ling Suisui stood calmly in front.
Especially Li Mingxu, who is so tall and not too big like a boiled chicken. Compared with the female stars, he is definitely strong. But he was so scared that he could only hide behind Ling Suisui, holding her hand tightly and calling her Sister Sui.
Xiao Cai was watching the show with the barrage of comments turned on, and she also joined the group of people who were posting crazy haha .... She also took screenshots of Ling Sui's speechless moments, made them into emoticons, and posted them in the super topic, which received a lot of interaction.
Wow, is this what it feels like to have a lot of fans when you’re alive? With praise and compliments, Xiao Cai produced a lot of work. It was not until her family called her out for dinner and she found that her mobile phone wallpaper had been changed to Xu Fangfei that she realized something seemed to be wrong.
Is there... Actually, no.
She is a fan, she is a fan, there is nothing wrong with that!
Xiao Cai went to eat happily, planning to produce more after dinner. In fact, her video editing skills are pretty good. With Ling Sui's face, achieving a million views is no problem at all!
**
At the end of the show, the peak popularity of "Peach Blossom" was 11947. It's a pity that it failed to reach 12000. After all, after breaking 10,000, it is extremely difficult to cross 500 popularity points.
Of course, it would be too Versailles to say this regret out loud. It makes it difficult for other works to break 10,000, and what about the works that still need the platform to push them secretly?
The explosion of peach blossoms is destined to be a double explosion on Taiwan and the Internet, an explosion that will bloom all over the world. The satellite rights to Taohua were sold to multiple TV stations. In the first round of broadcast, Oriental TV followed suit, and the average Kuyun ratings were 1.67, with a peak of 2.08, which directly pushed up the ratings by 1.74.
Even in front of the TV with the remote control controlled by grandparents, saying Ling Sui's name is the password to the ratings.
Not to mention its popularity overseas. Topping the list in Southeast Asian countries is just a routine operation. Being able to radiate its influence to Europe and the United States and directly drive up the download volume of the international version of Aoqi is truly amazing.
Ochi really wanted to sign Ling Suisui as the overseas spokesperson, but couldn’t because she still had a cooperative relationship with Netflix.
As a phenomenal hit drama, the cumulative number of views of Taohua has exceeded 5 billion, and it has refreshed the Yunhe record with the good results of "over 100 million episodes in 18 days and the highest number of views on a single platform in a single day is 460 million". While congratulating Taohua for its good results, fans also lamented that the game was squeezed down one notch in the list.
But it doesn’t matter, when Ling Sui’s next hit drama comes out, it will be time for her peach blossom to give way.
Ling Suisui, the ancient Greek god in charge of record breaking!
In the view of Aoqi Video, the drama has been broadcast smoothly and it is expected to enter the 10 billion club this year. With the trademark of a light comedy, Taohua might be able to take advantage of the long tail of Freedom House, and 20 billion is just around the corner.
They are all Ling Sui's dramas, so what's wrong with that? Not only that, every time Ling Suisui appears in a new drama, whether it is broadcast on Aoqi or not, Aoqi will open a "Ling Suisui Column" for her to take the audience to reminisce the past.
Including the jointly broadcasted "The List of Successful Actors", Ling Sui has the copyrights of six dramas owned by Aoqi. If the platform doesn’t take a little more advantage, it must be a fool.
Aoqi is eager to deepen cooperation with Ling Suisui, but she doesn't want to be too tightly tied to a certain platform. In addition to cooperating with Antenna Video on the two dramas, Ling Suisui's team is also actively in contact with Yumi Video.
In the past, corn was always a step behind the three giants, but its development momentum in recent years seems to be good. Moreover, according to Ling Sui's observation, Yumi is the most active in the layout of high-quality dramas.
From its list of upcoming dramas, Ling Sui can see the platform's ambitions from the cast and plot synopsis.
However, everyone can say nice things, but whether a drama is considered a masterpiece and has a good reputation can only be determined after it is broadcast.
Ling Suisui asked the team to contact them first. Anyway, she would not be deeply tied to any platform, so of course she wanted them to offer better conditions to snatch her away.
Her film and television agent Feng Yang did send her a project proposal from Yumi Video, but when Ling Sui saw that it was about immortal heroes and gods, her interest was reduced by half.
Feng Yang certainly understood her thoughts, and she explained: "This is not an idol drama. Yumi said that they want to make a real fairy heroine, and you are the most suitable heroine they can think of."
The author has something to say:
Currently, except for special circumstances, the projects that Ling Sui is involved in basically have to contact her half a year in advance, and this is still a very optimistic estimate.
The first thing is to discuss the schedule, then to form a team with her as the center, select actors, adjust the plot and character settings. Unless it is someone she trusts very much, she will not join the team temporarily, as that would be too passive. If there are any twists and turns in the project, it is normal to negotiate for two or three years, so it is not that the author deliberately stretched out the time to make the progress of a drama seem slow, the reality is that it takes that long...
