Chapter 139: Kuiguang’s products must be…?
…
There was the sound of running water in the bathroom.
While Yang Ruoqian picked up the clothes scattered on the ground one by one, he continued to browse all the videos related to "Thunder Warriors" on his mobile phone, especially the comment section.
He found that not only were all the film review bloggers unanimously criticizing "Thunder Soldier", there were not even many internet trolls in the comment section to whitewash it.
"Is this drama so bad that even the major film review bloggers don't have the guts to buy it?"
Logically speaking, if it is a TV series or film that is not so obviously bad, the content presented in the comment section and by major bloggers should be polarized - some would praise it to the sky, while others would criticize it to death.
There are always up-loaders who receive business orders and have to promote themselves commercially.
It’s nothing, it’s just that they gave too much.
The comment section will also be filled with all kinds of unrecognizable internet trolls, mixed with normal audiences, engaging in heated debates.
But there is not a single blogger who dares to praise "Thunder Warrior", and there are not even a few internet trolls to be found, which is enough to show how bad it is.
Even in the comment section, Yang Ruoqian saw the name of his own blockbuster.
"This year's Spring Festival movies and TV series are so average, so boring."
"The main thing is that among so many mediocre movies, there is also such an unlucky thing as Thunder Soldier."
“I have already reported it.”
"I heard that Chengyu and Kuiguang are working together on a drama, and the promotion is very strong. I'm looking forward to it."
"But just by hearing the name I feel like it's a bad movie."
"What are you afraid of? Didn't you see that Kuiguang Group was involved in the filming?"
"I've never heard of this Kuiguang Group. Are they that powerful? Have they participated in the filming of any blockbuster movies?"
"They're not that good, but they're good at making things happen. I have a feeling they're going to make something big this time."
"Indeed, I recognize Kui Guang's ability to turn things around. I bet this drama will not disappoint us."
"I'm looking forward to what you said..."
Netizens were discussing enthusiastically in the comment section, with high expectations. It was obvious that they were poisoned by the rotten movie and wanted to see something good to detoxify them.
Yang Ruoqian observed a moment of silence for these expectant audiences. It was impossible for them to detoxify, but there was a gift package of fighting poison with poison.
The higher the audience's expectations are now, the deeper their despair will be after the show is released.
Seeing that Yuefu's blockbuster was caught in a whirlpool, Yang Ruoqian felt relieved when he thought that his own blockbuster would receive the same treatment in the future.
With the previous experience of Yue Mansion, Yang Ruoqian was more confident that his bad drama would fail.
This project must be won! ...
After spending a wonderful first day of the Lunar New Year, Yang Ruoqian spent the rest of the Spring Festival either playing games or checking out the recent situation of Yue Mansion.
On the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, the third episode of Yuefu's masterpiece "Thunder Warrior" was broadcast. Just 10 minutes after it was released, five-digit comments appeared in the comment section. All of them were negative reviews, and the insults were extremely harsh.
After the third episode was released, the show received a high rating of 2.1.
Gradually, official media and big names began to come out and sharply criticize Yuefu and this bad drama.
It can be said that intellectuals are worthy of being intellectuals. The words said by these bigwigs do not sound as straightforward as those of the video complaining up-loader and the grumpy old man in the comment section, but if you listen carefully, you can find that intellectuals are more offensive.
People's evaluation of the entire drama seems to be very objective and rational, and the words used are restrained, but the meaning between the lines defines the nature of this drama in the most replicable direction.
Movie review bloggers and grumpy old men at most think that this drama is bad, but intellectuals are different. Intellectuals hope that they will die...
On the sixth day, the Yue Mansion finally couldn't stand the pressure and sent out its own public relations team to explain the meaning of the various plots in the play.
But no one bought it. This behavior only attracted more trolls, causing the already pitiful 2.1 rating to plummet again to 1.8.
On the seventh day, "Thunder Warrior" was permanently removed from the shelves, and all the resources of Yue Mansion were wasted.
The so-called hot-blooded war film that was produced at a huge cost and had educational significance ended so abruptly after only three episodes were aired.
Even the reputation of the actors in the film plummeted.
There is no need to even think about the grand IP cultivation plan - the anchors will be overwhelmed even if they can't build their own IP and enter the entertainment industry, let alone maintain their basic base in the live broadcast industry.
On the eighth day of the first lunar month, Yang Ruoqian and Chang Zhiqing ended their happy Spring Festival and returned to work.
He originally wanted to use the excuse of staggered traffic to slightly extend the vacation time for everyone in the company, but he was warned by the system and had to give up.
Sitting back at his desk, he opened his long-forgotten WeChat account and began to reply to work-related messages one by one.
Shao Yiqi expressed great dissatisfaction with Yang Ruoqian's forced use of the pigeon tactic, as can be seen from the 99+ cordial greetings he sent to Yang Ruoqian.
Especially since this college classmate of mine was so disloyal in leaving me alone on the set and not even informing me when it was clearly a holiday.
But unfortunately, these protests have expired for more than ten days, and Yang Ruoqian didn't even read them and directly set them as all read.
Shao Yiqi? If you have the guts, just rush into my office and confront me face to face.
Otherwise just bear with it.
As for Chengyu Media, due to the absence of the leading actor and the collective loss of contact with all the employees of Kuiguang Company, the original plan of adjusting holidays and working overtime to meet the schedule at the filming set had to be abandoned, and everyone went home to celebrate the Spring Festival.
It took me more than two hours to clean up. After lunch break and going to work in the afternoon, the unread messages gradually disappeared.
"Hey, Cheng Fei actually sent me a message too?"
Yang Ruoqian raised his eyebrows, slightly surprised.
After they had discussed the cooperation last time, they did add each other on WeChat, but they had rarely contacted each other, and the cooperation projects of the two companies were communicated through Shao Yiqi.
The message from Cheng Fei was also very simple: "Resume filming as soon as possible after the holiday. It is indeed inconsiderate to let employees not go home during the Spring Festival."
Is this indeed ill-considered?
What this means is...
"Did she realize that my sudden announcement of a holiday was a tactful way of refusing to let employees work overtime during the Spring Festival?" Yang Ruo made a rough analysis and then laughed, "In fact, she probably doesn't know that I just wanted to delay the schedule..."
After simply replying "OK", Yang Ruoqian continued to scroll down, dealt with some simple and trivial matters, and then opened the company's reports and system panels to confirm that the company was currently in a state of overall loss.
【Artist Training System 2.0】
[Currently, all artist-related businesses of Kuiguang Company have been integrated, and the current overall profit situation is: -7687703.31. The company's profit situation is continuing to deteriorate, and I hope the host will work hard! A large amount of profit commissions are waiting for the host to claim! ]
Work hard and strive for progress?
Yang Ruoqian is indeed working hard to maximize the company's losses.
"Very good, next we will wait for the release of "The Dragon Son-in-law Protecting the Nation" and max out the loss items!"
Before the project enters the settlement stage, the invested funds will not be counted as "losses" by the system. Otherwise, some projects that take a long time to complete will be reinvested at the end of the quarter, which can easily result in losses on the books.
…
On February 27, thanks to the strong working efficiency of Chengyu Media, the last episode of "Dragon Son-in-law" was completed and the special effects were produced.
In order to release it as soon as possible, the editing and special effects teams of this web drama were moved to the set, and the work was carried out almost simultaneously with the filming.
With the top leader personally supervising the production, no one could find time to slack off. Everyone worked overtime and around the clock, and managed to complete the production of an entire drama in such a short time without compromising the quality.
In addition, the efficiency of the distributor is also extremely high. It is expected that the first episode will be exclusively broadcast on the AQIYI platform on March 10.
Of course, it is a web drama after all, so there are actually quite a few flaws in terms of special effects.
Yang Ruoqian expressed great satisfaction with this - the more flaws there were, the more satisfied he was.
On the day of wrap, Yang Ruoqian, as the boss of Kuiguang Company, finally arrived at the crew for the first time and witnessed the elegance of the Crooked-Mouth Dragon King with his own eyes.
In the stands, several leaders of both companies sat side by side. Except for a few, most people did not feel confident.
After all, this was the first time to film such a bad script. Even though they were fed countless reassurances, even though there were financial guarantees from partners, and even though everyone around said it was good, no one dared to have too high expectations for this drama before seeing the results.
Fortunately, as the guarantor, Yang Ruoqian seemed confident that he would pay a huge amount of money if the online drama suffered losses, which made others feel a little more at ease.
Those who take the risk are so confident and satisfied, so there shouldn't be any major problems with this drama.
Looking at Mr. Yang's smiling face and his frequent nodding expression, he must have full faith in the wonderful content of this drama and is confident that the ratings will be high.
Thinking of this, the leaders of Chengyu Group all breathed a sigh of relief.
Yang Ruoqian was naturally confident about this.
Isn't this acting more exaggerated than the drama from Yuefu next door? Although the acting of the actors in "Thunder Soldier" is poor, at least it is poor enough to be unknown, instead of forcing exaggeration on the audience like "The Dragon Son-in-law".
Isn't this plot even more stupid than the one in Yuefu? Is there any plot worse than the one where the hero slaps all the enemies to death after 10 or 20 episodes?
The character creation is even more of a mess. These grown-ups, who have lived most of their lives, are shocked, angry, and terrified at the slightest provocation. The sense of immersion is extremely poor, making people wonder if these characters are all giant babies who never grow up.
Yang Ruoqian felt that it was not easy for him to mess up the script so badly.
Suddenly, there were cheers and sounds of relief from the set.
"It's finished!"
“It’s over!”
"My crew buddies, how about going out for dinner together?"
“…”
The so-called wrap-up means that the filming of a film or TV series is completely finished, the crew is disbanded, and everyone goes their separate ways. Those from the agency wait for the next arrangement, and the small extras go to other sets... In short, the road ahead is long, and we will meet again if we are destined to.
Yang Ruoqian looked at the cheering audience and silently asked the system, "Will inviting the crew to a wrap-up banquet be counted as an expense for the company's entertainment industry project?"
The system gave the answer immediately.
[Will be included. The current financial situation of the host company is worrying. It is recommended to increase revenue and reduce expenditure, reduce meaningless expenses, and obtain more profit commissions. ]
Yang Ruoqian ignored the system's earnest instructions, stood up, and announced to everyone present: "Don't be in a hurry to leave, everyone has worked hard all winter, take a good day off today, eat, drink and have fun, all expenses will be covered by Kui Guang!"
Haha, you still want to increase revenue and reduce expenditure? I will just close the source and increase the flow! (End of this chapter)
