"Seven million, that's quick!"

Lu Ban looked at the playback data in the background and was very satisfied.

There is still more than a week left until the deadline, so it should be safe to achieve 10 million views.

Before starting production, Lu Ban did some research on interactive videos.

In essence, it is a video version of a text adventure game.

If you want viewers to watch this video over and over again, what you need is the motivation of multiple endings and the exploration of various branches.

Of course, this alone is not enough.

A game is very difficult to complete and almost no one has completed it. Would a normal person want to try it?

uncertain.

There are much more cloud players now than before. Many people are not good at playing games or have no time, so they like to watch others complete a game. Completing a game by watching a video also counts as completing a game.

Therefore, Lu Ban must lower the threshold for interactive videos. No operation is required and anyone can click to play. After seeing the host promote the plot so many times, everyone will always give it a try. It’s free anyway, so why not take a look?

However, it would not be good if this interactive video was too easy to complete, because what Lu Ban needs is not everyone’s praise, but the number of views.

Tens of millions of views, when converted into video clicks, equals tens of millions of views.

Even if one person swipes it ten times, that would amount to millions of clicks.

The average daily active users of Jiu Ri Video Network is 50 million, and the monthly active users are 200 million. However, Lu Ban’s videos themselves do not have the widest audience and have a certain audience screening nature. With the support of this data, if you want to reach tens of millions of clicks within a week or two, multiple views are inevitable.

Therefore, Lu Ban needs to do some fancy things to make an audience contribute more clicks.

There is another point, that is, although Lu Ban has done so many fancy things, human patience has its limits after all.

If no one can complete an interactive video or a game and find a way to do it, the audience will lose patience and stop watching.

It's like you keep studying hard, researching exam questions, focusing on study methods, and studying from six in the morning to two in the evening every day, but you still fail the exam every time. After studying a few times, you get bored and finally choose to lie down.

So, when everyone was already attracted by the video, frantically discussing possible ways to pass the level, and were about to think that it was impossible to pass the level, Lu Ban paid some big V answerers who said "Do you understand?" to start releasing information bit by bit.

For example, the subsequent plot development, possible strategies, and in the end, directly tell the audience the secrets hidden in this video.

Keep the audience on suspense and give them some information so that they can gain a sense of exploration.

Like now, after several secret settings of the video were exposed, the growth of the video's click volume has reached a new level.

Of course, curiosity is also the highlight of this video. Lu Ban has tried to inflict damage on Qin Tiantian. Ordinary people would just think that the monsters, fish-headed people, and scenes like the bride and groom worshipping heaven and earth are special effects and would feel a little uncomfortable.

Lu Ban speculated that only by looking directly at these creatures, or being in the corresponding foreign lands, could the extraordinary power interfere with human consciousness.

When you think about it this way, it doesn’t seem so scary that those great beings can’t cross the world to patrol.

Having received so many clicks, Lu Ban now feels that spending ten days to make the video is well worth it!

In less than a week, the video received 10 million hits, which made Lu Ban’s fans exceed 500,000, and gaining a million fans is just around the corner!

Standing up and stretching his body, Lu Ban went to the balcony to carry out photosynthesis.

In fact, the most suitable place for Lu Ban right now is actually an open-air swimming pool or something like that.

In the water, he can breathe, expose more of his body to carry out photosynthesis, and he doesn't have to worry about being reported by enthusiastic neighbors. He achieves three goals at one stroke.

Unfortunately, swimming pools nowadays all emphasize comfort, and most of them are indoors with air conditioning. It would not look good to be caught swimming in the river during the flood season, so Lu Ban could only settle for the next best thing and sunbathe on the balcony.

The cell phone rang, Lu Ban took a look and saw that it was a call from the old squad leader Feng Yu.

I remember we chatted on WeChat before, and she said he was currently in the mountains filming a TV series with the crew, and the signal was poor. Now it seems that he should have returned to Jiangcheng?

When Lu Ban answered the phone, he heard some noisy sounds on the other end, as if it was raining heavily.

"Hey, are you done with work?"

Lu Ban asked.

"Not yet. I encountered some problems here. I may be back later."

Feng Yu's voice was quite spirited, as if she was still cheerful even if there was a flood outside, as if the sunshine had dispelled the haze. Just talking to her made people feel happy.

"I also saw the video you made. It's pretty cool. How did you come up with this?"

“Just learning a little.”

Lu Ban spoke the truth.

"But the special effects at the end are so realistic. I can't stand watching that kind of stuff, but it's really good."

Feng Yu praised again.

"Comparatively, the special effects of our crew are really poor, and they look fake at first glance. Do you accept orders? Otherwise, I will ask the director to give you the special effects work."

"I only do small things, and my efficiency is very low. It may take me half a month to complete just a little bit."

Lu Ban continued to speak the truth.

"Hey, when I go back this time, you must have a meal with me, right?"

After chatting for a while, Feng Yu invited him out again.

"Of course, of course."

Lu Ban answered, said goodbye and hung up the phone.

"I feel a little guilty when I see everyone busy and working hard to make a living while I am just lying here basking in the sun."

Lu Ban couldn't help but sigh.

He then changed his position so that the sides could be heated evenly.

"But tell me, Feng Yu is so persistent in asking me out for dinner, is there some plan behind this?"

Lu Ban asked his air friend.

"I think she might have other intentions."

"I checked my Alipay account and I don't think I owe her any money, and we didn't have any intersection in college."

“Could it be…”

Thinking of some terrible things, Lu Ban's expression became serious.

He sat up straight and spoke seriously to his air friend.

"Could it be that she wants to borrow money from me?"

Lu Ban was confused for a while.

"It's not impossible, actually. She asked me to have dinner with her when I was broke. Now that I have money, it's no problem to lend her some. Anyway, she has enough food and drink, and she doesn't have any worldly desires."

He thought seriously and asked his air friend beside him.

"What do you think?"

“I think it makes sense.”

"Okay, so next time when I have dinner with her, I will ask her if she has any difficulties. It seems that she is very tired from running around every day."

"Yeah, sure."

Hearing this, Lu Ban turned around and looked around.

There's nothing there.

Only air friends.
