After taking a shower in the bathroom, Lu Ban checked the drain of the air-conditioned room, changed his clothes, and lay down on the bed.

Although the metallic stench was not left, it still lingered.

Lu Ban turned on the music player and fell asleep to the music from the Spring Festival Gala playlist.

Afternoon, four o'clock.

Lu Ban woke up in the sunset. Since encountering the quiet place, Lu Ban felt that the biggest change in his daily routine.

In the past, Lu Ban went to bed on time before midnight every night and did not leave fatigue and stress to the next day. Doctors said he was normal.

Now Lu Ban often has to go to another world to chat with the ghost bride at night. He never gets enough sleep and the doctor has even diagnosed him as a mental patient.

“How tragic!”

Lu Ban sat up. The room became dark after the curtains were drawn, making him want to continue sleeping.

But Lu Ban, who was self-disciplined, had already gotten up and turned on the computer.

"Today is Sister Hai's online concert, we can't be late!"

He clicked on the live broadcast room of a singer and virtual anchor and heard the vague singing sound.

"... the sound of gongs and drums went through several streets, and a play started at the alley entrance..."

The festive music with loud gongs and drums came into Lu Ban's ears.

But this music soon merged with the wedding music that Lu Ban heard in Ku Shui Town.

The tune began to become strange, and the sound coming from the speakers became eerie and hollow.

"...May you...live as long as...the Eight Immortals...live...over a hundred years old...be...healthy..."

Just like the funeral music played in those old Hong Kong horror movies.

Even the little people dancing on the screen were glowing green, giving off a hellish look.

"?"

Lu Ban frowned and patted the computer case.

"…I wish everyone a happy and cheerful life. Say goodbye to the old and welcome the new, and start anew with great strides."

The singing and the picture returned to normal.

"The computer is a bit old..."

Lu Ban was thinking about getting a new graphics card once the price came down. He also had investments in Jiangcheng Industrial, so how could he not buy some good equipment?

After watching the concert, Lu Ban, feeling satisfied, swiped his mouse and the webpage turned into the cold text of the system.

【Career Development Tasks】

[How long has it been since you last updated? Are you satisfied with the status quo? It's time to satisfy the viewers who are looking forward to you! ]

[Task requirements: Make a video and get tens of millions of views]

【Number of viewers: 0/10000000】

[“Congratulations on discovering the treasure of the town!”]

[Remaining time: 710:34:12]

“Tens of millions of views?”

Lu Ban discovered the difference in the system description.

Previously, the system has always been measured by clicks, but now it has become the number of viewers.

This description means that if the movie can be played directly on the big screen without using a video website, and has tens of millions of viewers, it can meet the requirements?

Can we make a movie now?

Yay!

But Lu Ban calculated carefully.

With tens of millions of viewers watching it, and each person paying 30 yuan for a movie ticket, the box office would be 300 million yuan.

Can a movie like this without any stars really attract so many people to the cinema?

Lu Ban remembered that there was a science fiction blockbuster with several stars participating and an investment of 300 million yuan, but in the end the box office was only over 100 million yuan.

In today's domestic market, those who want to reach a box office of 300 million all have some connections.

But if it is made into a video, a video with millions of views can be said to be a historical process, and it can be achieved by standing at the forefront of the trend.

However, videos with tens of millions of views are basically the treasures of the site. Both content and popularity are essential, and most of them are the ones that people can still talk about years later.

There is no way to take shortcuts when it comes to video-making tasks. You can’t make several short videos to get clicks. The first video Lu Ban uploaded was the requirement of the task, so he had to be cautious.

And, more importantly, this mission has a time limit.

More than 700 hours is almost a month. Lu Ban’s video must be viewed by tens of millions of people within a month.

“It might be too late to make it into a movie.”

Although the film censorship in this world is not that strict, even plasma films can be graded and played on the big screen, but they still have to be scheduled. Even if Lu Ban edits a serious movie with his eyes closed, by the time it is scheduled for release, there may only be two or three days for the audience to go to the cinema.

It is very difficult to attract tens of millions of viewers.

“Is there only one way to continue with the video?”

Lu Ban thought that this time he had obtained three days of video footage, including the fog, the beach in Ku Shui Town, the Hai family mansion at night, and the wedding day. When he put them into one video, it became wildly elongated.

Although many viewers have left messages saying that Lu Ban’s videos are short and they can finish watching them in a short time, Lu Ban is well aware that these viewers are hypocritical. They say the videos are short, but if the videos become longer, they think they are too long and don’t want to watch them and ask for a summary.

According to statistics from Jiuri Video Network, when a video is longer than 20 minutes, the number of clicks will decrease by 30%, and when the video is longer than 40 minutes, it will decrease by 70%.

But this number will return to normal after more than an hour, that is to say, the number of clicks on videos that are longer than an hour will actually increase.

Some students may ask, why is this?

Because most videos that are longer than an hour are not amateur entertainment videos, but movies, popular science videos, documentaries, etc. For example, an e-sports game can last more than an hour, and the number of people watching online at the same time can reach tens of thousands.

However, it is still very difficult for long videos to reach tens of millions of views.

Lu Ban took a look at the rankings of his main battlefield, Jiuri Video Network. The number of videos with more than 10 million views in more than an hour could basically be counted on one hand.

It's either a fast-paced explanation of some long animation, or a live game broadcast by a popular anchor, or an interactive video that claims to have hundreds of endings.

"Um?"

Interactive video?

Lu Ban clicked on the video.

This type of video is different from the previous linearly played videos. In addition, it has various options. You can make choices while watching the video and see different developments depending on your choices, just like a text adventure game.

The essence is the concatenation of many video clips.

Lu Ban played the video and made selections as it unfolded. Ten minutes later, looking at the word BAD END on the screen, Lu Ban refreshed the video unconvinced and continued from the beginning.

This way, the number of clicks will increase a little each time it is replayed. If a person completes all the hundreds of endings, it is equivalent to playing the game hundreds of times.

It was not until the evening that Lu Ban finally got the first good ending with the help of the strategy.

“This thing is really a bit addictive.”

When he saw the 10 million views, he quickly came up with an idea.
