Chapter 167 Is there still justice?
Xiaoma Video had initially experienced development thanks to Ding Yi's risky bet on "I Am Yu Huanshui", but who could have imagined that Ding Yi would lose "The Undocumented Crime" and "The Rumored Chen Qianqian" in succession. As a result, Ding Yi was directly transferred away, and Xiaoma Video was again led by Wang Fei, but Wang Fei didn't know much about online movies.
After listening to Xu Qing, Wang Fei said, "Okay, let's do as you say. Promote it, and increase the publicity."
It would be foolish not to make money when you have the chance.
Since this "Hard Candy" is so awesome, let's step up the publicity.
But no one is a fool.
Not only Kunlang and Xiaoma video websites reacted, but Xingyao and MiLi Video also began to increase the promotion of "Hard Candy" at this time.
At 9 o'clock, all major companies officially started work. At the same time, Wang Bao called Li Yang, Song Qing, Li Jia and Zhu Zhichao to a meeting.
In fact, yesterday was not only the launch conference of "Hard Candy", but also the wrap-up party of "The Man Who Fell to Earth".
After all, the filming time of "The Visitor" was not short, not to mention that the filming time of general online movies is short.
Wang Bao has high hopes for this film "The Visitors from outer space".
In Yuanxing, online movies are at the bottom of the contempt chain, and are ranked behind online dramas.
Basically, for the industry, online movies are just a small business. Only small and medium-sized film and television companies and some independent directors will focus on online movies.
For example, Baiqian Media.
They could only shoot web series before, because it is not easy for TV series to gain the trust of satellite TV stations. Even if they are web dramas, they still fail? ?
Not to mention the TV series.
Because of a series of flops, Baiqian Media was almost on the verge of bankruptcy. After Wang Bao came, Yu Xiaoshu was invited to join, and then two phenomenal works, "The Undocumented Crime" and "The Rumored Chen Qianqian" were released in one go.
But even so, Wang Bao has a clear understanding that Baiqian Media is not qualified to enter the mainstream film industry now.
Therefore, online movies are a very suitable opportunity.
Under such circumstances, Wang Bao acquired the copyright of "The Visitors from Outer Space", the latest work written by Qiduo.
Online movies are still in a period of rapid growth, and the current price of a movie ticket is between 30 and 60 yuan, which is not cheap for many people. Especially during the Spring Festival, movie tickets may even cost up to 800 yuan.
But what about the Internet?
It only costs 5 bucks to watch a movie, and more importantly, you don’t care even if it’s a bad movie.
Think about it, what can you buy with 5 yuan now?
It can be said that nothing can be bought.
Therefore, people generally don’t mind spending 5 dollars.
For this reason, Wang Bao believes that online movies will definitely be a battleground for major film and television companies in the future. The reason they are not competing for it now is simply because online movies are still in a period of wild growth and have little potential. The box office of the largest online movie is only tens of millions.
Wang Bao wants to seize the market first with the online movie "The Visitors from Out of the Blue".
"Song Qing, you and Xiao Zhu should cooperate well on the editing."
Wang Bao said to Song Qing: "Is it okay?"
Song Qing said hurriedly: "No problem, Mr. Wang, we have already done some editing while filming, so the editing of "The Visitors from Outer Space" will not take too long."
Zhu Zhichao also nodded gently and said, "Yes, Mr. Wang, Director Song and I have almost communicated."
"That's good."
Wang Bao nodded gently: "Li Yang, from now on, all the company's publicity will be used for "The Visitors from the Sky". We will try to start broadcasting on MiLi Video in mid-June. I will also talk to MiLi Video and ask them to increase their publicity investment. Next, we will rely on "The Visitors from the Sky" to enter the online movie market and make a high-quality online movie."
Li Yang was a little surprised: "Boss Wang, give all the resources to "The Visitor"? "
"Yeah, what's the problem?"
Wang Bao smiled and asked, "Xiao Shu's TV series and the two web drama scripts haven't been completed yet. If we don't give the resources to "The Visitors from the Sky" at this time, who should we give them to?"
"Mr. Wang, have you not noticed Hard Candy?"
Li Yang asked with a strange look on his face.
Not only Li Yang, but also Zhu Zhichao, Li Jia, and even the director of "Alien" Song Qing had a strange look on their faces.
"What are you talking about?"
Wang Bao shook his head and said, "I also paid attention to the launch conference of "Hard Candy" yesterday afternoon, but after all, yesterday was the wrap-up party of "The Visitors from the Sky", so I need to do something and accompany Teacher Qiduo."
That’s right, at the wrap party last night, Wang Bao also had a chat with screenwriter Qiduo, and expressed the hope that they could reach a long-term strategic cooperation.
Think about it, when you are at a social gathering, how can you not drink too much?
So Wang Bao really didn’t pay attention to the premiere of "Hard Candy" last night. In his mind, this online movie won’t be very successful, even with a lot of publicity.
Wang Bao, who had drunk too much, was still feeling a little dizzy today. He took a shower in the morning, drank a bowl of millet porridge and came to the company. After arriving, he thought about starting the promotion of "The Visitor" as soon as possible. After the meeting, he planned to take a good look at the online movie "Hard Candy".
"Mr. Wang, please open your phone and check the push notifications from the four video websites."
Li Yang said with a wry smile: "We really underestimated this web drama. Teacher Yu is so amazing."
"Ah? Mr. Wang, you don't know yet. The online movie "Hard Candy" has become a huge hit."
"Yes, at 8 o'clock, the number of views on the four video websites had reached 1.88 million. I took a look at it just now during the meeting, and it has now exceeded 2 million."
"It's so scary, so scary, Teacher Yu is so amazing."
Song Qing, Li Jia and Zhu Zhichao also spoke with some admiration at this time.
Especially Song Qing, he wondered why he had to be so shameless in the first place? ?
You should know that Baiqian Media only had two directors at the beginning, one was Zhang Yi and the other was Song Qing.
Zhang Yi is a shameless guy, and he is very aggressive in licking Yu Xiaoshu. As a result, the cooperation between Yu Xiaoshu and Zhang Yi is quite smooth. Naturally, both "The Undocumented Crime" and "The Rumored Chen Qianqian" were given to Zhang Yi.
Thanks to these two web dramas, Zhang Yi has successfully gotten rid of the label of failure, and now he is feeling very proud.
Yes.
Really inflated.
When Song Qing and Zhang Yi were drinking before, Zhang Yi was a little drunk and said nonchalantly: "What's wrong with being a licker? There are so many lickers who want to lick but have nowhere to lick, so what's wrong with being a dog? You've achieved success, what else do you want?"
Yes.
Song Qing had been a little bit indifferent before. He thought that if he aspired to be a director, how could he just lick others' ass? ?
But you look now?
A newcomer who was originally preparing to be his assistant in "The Man Who Fell to Earth" became popular with "Hard Candy".
At this moment, it would be a lie for Song Qing to say that he had no regrets.
If he had known this earlier, he would definitely have licked Yu Xiaoshu.
But fortunately, he now still has "The Man Who Fell to Earth". As long as "The Man Who Fell to Earth" becomes a hit, he can still be successful.
"Hard Candy is the most powerful loli revenge drama of the year, don't miss it. It's all on Kunlang Video."
"The pedophile in "Hard Candy" was castrated. You have to watch it. It's all on Kunlang Video."
…
"Watch "Hard Candy" on Xiaoma Video and win a Patriotic brand mobile phone."
"Xiao Ma Video is launching a lucky draw for watching "Hard Candy" to give back to the fans."
…
"What exactly is Hard Candy? Let's go to MiLi Video to take a look."
"What does it feel like for a man to be castrated? Please click."
…
"Hard Candy is already in place, I won't get pregnant if I click on it?"
"My boyfriend stopped dating me after watching Hard Candy. Why?"
…
The promotions of the four video websites are different, but without exception, they are all heavyweight.
You may not be able to buy advertising space on some video sites even if you pay.
This time, Kunlang, Xingyao and Mili seemed to be spending money without any cost.
Because why?
Isn’t it because of the almost abnormal performance of “Hard Candy”?
2 million views.
Just hearing this data is enough to shock countless people.
People outside the circle watch the excitement, while people inside the circle watch the tricks.
An online movie, on the first day, no, it’s only halfway through, but it’s already grossed 10 million at the box office.
It's almost the same as the movie.
Coupled with the crazy promotion by the four video websites now, this is not just going to reach the sky, it is already in the sky.
"Li Yang, give all of our company's current publicity to Hard Candy."
Wang Bao stood up and said, "I'll go discuss this with Mr. Liu."
At the beginning, Wang Bao just thought that the online movie "Hard Candy" was just so-so. He didn't even have much hope. After all, Yu Xiaoshu had never written an online movie. We all know that movies and TV series are different in terms of shooting techniques, plot structure and so on.
Similarly, online movies and online dramas are also different.
Yu Xiaoshu can write a phenomenal web drama, but he may not be able to write a phenomenal web movie.
What's more, he really didn't think the script of "Hard Candy" had the potential to be a hit.
At the beginning, he put all his attention on the online movie "The Visitors", so it was inevitable that he didn't pay enough attention to "Hard Candy".
But Wang Bao is not a fool.
At this point, how could he not promote "Hard Candy" quickly?
As for "The Visitor"? ?
Let it go for now.
"Mr. Liu."
Wang Bao came to Liu Qianqian's office. He smiled bitterly and said, "At first, I thought that this "Hard Candy" would not become a hit. That's exactly what happened. I didn't pay much attention to this online movie, but you and Xiaoshu were confident that it would be a hit. I thought you two were stupid, but now it seems that I am the stupidest one."
really.
Wang Bao has always been extremely confident in his work ability. Why did he dare to tell Liu Qianqian not to interfere in the company's operations?
Isn't it a manifestation of self-confidence?
Of course, Wang Bao’s abilities are still good, especially since he has summed up the lessons from his previous failure at Kunlang. In fact, even without Yu Xiaoshu, Wang Bao can still revive Baiqian Media.
But it will definitely not be as easy as it is now.
It's like having a cheat device.
The two online dramas "The Undocumented Crime" and "The Rumored Chen Qianqian" saved Baiqian Media.
As for "Hard Candy", which was not well-received to begin with, it also became a huge hit.
You said that Wang Baoke had never felt so relaxed.
At the beginning, he set up a three-year long-term battle plan, hoping to pull Baiqian Media out of the quagmire in three years. He even planned to let Baiqian Media take a small step every three years, a big step every five years, and become a medium-sized film and television company in ten years.
The result was unexpected.
Because of Yu Xiaoshu's plug-in, Baiqian Media not only recovered in less than a year, but also made a direct profit.
One phenomenal web drama is enough, but Yu Xiaoshu directly produced two.
It's ok now.
There is a possibility that a third part may appear.
Although it is a web movie.
"Mr. Liu, you have to worry about the subsequent promotion. I thought that too much money was spent before, but now it seems that the money spent is not much, not much at all, and I even think it is too little."
Wang Bao said to Liu Qianqian.
Liu Qianqian laughed: "Boss Wang, don't worry about this. I'm a professional when it comes to spending money."
This is the truth.
No wonder Yu Xiaoshu often said that Liu Qianqian must be used in the right place.
In one day, the public opinion and word of mouth of "Hard Candy" continued to ferment.
Moreover, the background data has increased strongly.
rise!
Rising!!
Rising!!!
It’s gone up again!!!
This is the feeling of the data monitoring team of the four video websites, Xiaoma, Kunlang, Xingyao and Mili, in one day.
Not only them, but even ordinary viewers who were slow to realize it also noticed something was wrong.
Kunlang Video, the most played song of the day is "Hard Candy".
MiLi Video, the most played song of the day is "Hard Candy".
Xingyao Video, the most played song of the day is "Hard Candy".
Xiaoma Video, the most played song of the day is "Hard Candy".
Not only in terms of daily broadcast, word of mouth, speed of rise, number of comments, etc., "Hard Candy" ranks first.
A web movie actually dominated the screen.
Many people sighed: "Is there any justice in this world?"
It's really unfair.
Thanks to the strong promotion of the four video websites, at 4 pm, the total number of views of "Hard Candy" on major platforms easily exceeded 5 million.
The total number of views exceeded 5 million 20 hours after its launch.
Now, everyone is speculating that "Hard Candy" will be on air for 24 hours in 4 hours, so will this web drama have over 10 million views? ?
Of course, many people think this is unlikely so far.
Online, many netizens are also discussing this situation.
"impossible."
"That's right. The reason why it soared just now was because of the promotion of the four major video websites, but now the growth rate has obviously slowed down."
"Yeah, if he breaks 10 million I'll...oh my god, is he really breaking 10 million?"
…
While everyone was analyzing the situation, "Hard Candy" had exceeded 10 million views at 7:45 p.m.
…
