Su Bai found it a little strange, but didn't think much of it, and went to talk to the website.
Originally, the website created this competition section simply to complete the task.
It requires opening a separate channel, using the video's own traffic, plus review mechanisms, evaluation mechanisms, voting mechanisms... and bonuses, etc. It's basically a losing proposition that only generates buzz.
Many viewers browse video websites every day and see pop-up ads all the time, but they may not be interested in clicking on them to take a look.
The traffic simply can't be generated.
Therefore, without advertising and without revenue, the hype may seem grand, but in reality, not many people pay attention.
As a result, most participants lose money but gain fame.
That will make your resume look good when you show it off!
Therefore, the competition contracts are quite arbitrary and are basically all beneficial to the video websites.
Little Universe: "Host, are you... planning for the video to go viral? Is that why you're rushing to secure the copyright?"
Liu Yun: "Whether something becomes popular or not really depends on some kind of mystery."
"What I want is popularity."
"But I have many plans for the future, so my first work can't be overlooked and end up in someone else's hands."
"Besides, if it really becomes popular, I can start collecting advertising fees. But apart from the bonus, the website won't share the profits with the author. I'm afraid that if I become popular, the profits from this work will leave me feeling like I'm losing money."
After all, it's the Great Entertainer System, so this is the typical approach.
At least the chances of her becoming famous are relatively high, so how could she not think about it more?
Xiao Tongzi: ...Are you sure this is just overthinking?
Has he already "planned" his entire life?
Liu Yun sipped her tea: "Besides... even if this work doesn't become popular, it will become a valuable medicine for special groups in the future."
Little Tongzi: "Ah, you learned it from the healing talisman?"
"Does 'host' refer to people with mental illnesses such as depression?"
Liu Yun: "It may not be curable, but it will definitely provide relief. It's much better than sedatives and has absolutely no side effects."
"It won't even produce antibodies, so every time you watch it, it's just as effective as the first time."
"How could we let the video streaming service get away with this? A mere 300,000..."
If it were produced to the world's animation standards, wouldn't the budget be too high?
In her view, the necessity of such a competition is really low.
Fortunately, she wanted to gain some popularity points; otherwise, anyone who agreed to the school's request would be a fool.
Xiao Tongzi: "It is indeed a bit too little."
Liu Yun: "I've got some work to do. Hurry up and get the social media account up and running for me. It'll be very useful in the future!"
Xiao Tongzi: ...How did the topic jump to here?
Alright, let's get started.
At the same time, White Bear Video Network didn't take it seriously and agreed to Su Bai's request.
Once the work was submitted, it passed the review and entered the competition.
In reality, it didn't have much popularity or attract much attention.
Liu Yun didn't care about this. Anyway, anyone who clicked on it and watched it couldn't escape the healing feeling of the short film and would be deeply impressed.
Popularity is slowly increasing, but sentiment is rising very quickly.
Everyone who watches it contributes a lot of emotional value.
However, the ratio of emotion points to points is quite high, almost 10,000 to 1, so the increase in points is not very significant.
Liu Yun wasn't in a hurry. Meanwhile, the cast and crew had already been selected and immediately began their busy training program.
There are some things she has to do herself!
For example, etiquette.
Since it was a fictional Tiancang Dynasty, she adopted all the etiquette, titles, court structure, and martial arts settings from the Yunzhao Dynasty.
Even if others perceive it as nonexistent, as entirely virtual, it still possesses rules and a profound sense of history.
Many actors didn't take it seriously at first; they only came because of the production team's big investment.
It's clear that the training was so meticulous and the production team management was so attentive, which gradually made them more serious.
Many of the supporting actors are not famous veteran actors, but most of them are extras who have been working in film and television cities for more than ten or twenty years.
Actors from that era are easy to use.
Even veteran actors with a bit of fame and whose faces are familiar to the audience can't be invited to their production team!
These types of actors don't lack roles and generally won't accept roles in dramas that are clearly not likely to be broadcast effectively.
They would consider offering more money, but their production team simply couldn't afford the price, so every penny had to be spent very carefully.
Since the props, costumes, and jewelry far exceeded the budget, they couldn't be wasted on the actor's salary.
After finishing his current filming commitments, Zhang Xiaopang joined the production team. He studied very diligently, and you could often see him practicing on his phone, shooting video footage.
Seeing Liu Yun, he ran over happily: "Director Liu, Director Liu, may I film a video and post it?"
Liu Yun smiled and said, "Sure!"
Even if it's something we don't understand tacitly, he still needs to confirm it once. He really is a social tyrant.
Zhang Xiaopang: "When can I release the video I filmed? After the show airs? Or sometime later?"
Liu Yun understood; so that was the purpose: "Anytime is fine, do whatever you like."
There are no other ways to promote this show.
There was actually no difference before and after the shoot.
If people find out sooner, there might be some anticipation.
What? The information was leaked in advance?
Haha, that's not true. It's a dual male lead drama. Just those four words are enough to dispel the covetous eyes of all competitors.
Zhang Xiaopang's eyes lit up: "That's great, Director Liu, is there any place the crew can't go or film in?"
I'm really excited.
Although the production team took advantage of his popularity, he rarely had the opportunity to work with such large production teams, and generally, they wouldn't allow him to participate in their productions.
