Chapter 202 Crazy, all crazy
Wang Jun is very confident.
In his opinion, it is acceptable for three companies to buy "The Hidden Corner" for 12 million per episode. After all, Yu Xiaoshu's golden signboard is still useful. Although the criminal investigation drama market is not so good now, don't forget that before "The Undocumented Crime" became a hit, the criminal investigation drama market was also not doing well.
In such a situation, Wang Jun would of course give "The Hidden Corner" a try, but as the old saying goes, he couldn't go all out.
Then let’s divide it equally among the three of us.
Originally, Wang Jun’s idea was to kick Xiaoma Video out, and the three of them would directly take down "The Hidden Corner", and then the promotion would depend on their own abilities.
But I never expected Mao Shuihui to be so useless.
Of course, Wang Jun actually understood that it was not Mao Shuihui's fault, because MiLi Video's backyard had been in trouble recently.
In that case, let's just drag Xiao Ma into the game.
He had calculated everything, but he had not calculated the current predicament of Xiaoma Video.
This year, that is, the entire half year of 2019, except for the one "I Am Yu Huanshui" that Xiaoma Video picked up because of Ding Yi, it voluntarily gave up the two web dramas "The Undocumented Crime" and "The Rumored Chen Qianqian". However, apart from these two, Xiaoma Video failed in the web drama, online movie and TV drama market on which it originally depended for survival.
The Big Three are still the Big Three after all.
What's more, today's video websites are already losing money and burning money, and Xiaoma Video is in an even worse situation. Besides, they can't burn as much money as the Big Three.
Don't fight for bread, fight for face.
Since Wang Fei took over from Ding Yi as the helm of Xiaoma Video, Xiaoma Video still has nothing outstanding.
If this continues, Wang Fei will have no future.
Since this is the case, I will die if I go up, and I will die if I don’t go up, so I might as well go up.
Therefore, Wang Fei said to Wang Bao: "Mr. Wang, we at Xiaoma Video are willing to buy the exclusive broadcasting rights of "The Hidden Corner" for 12 million per episode."
After these words were spoken, the place fell silent for a moment.
Mao Shuihui stood up and said, "Boss Wang, I hope we can work together again if we have the chance in the future."
After saying that, she just left.
They came to MiLi Video just to make a cameo appearance.
To put it bluntly, Mao Shuihui just wanted to see who would win the final award for "The Hidden Corner".
As for Wang Jun and Zhang Ming, they were a little stunned for a moment.
Xiaoma Video is such a big asshole.
Of course Wang Bao was delighted.
He had no reason to be unhappy.
Originally, Wang Bao thought that as long as the box office of "The Hidden Corner" was no less than 8 million, it would be fine. This is a web drama with a relatively low cost, not to mention that the current market for criminal investigation dramas is not good.
But I never expected that.
Just now when Wang Jun said that the three companies wanted to jointly purchase the series at 12 million per episode, Wang Bao actually wanted to agree.
Exclusive broadcast is good, but joint broadcast is better. After all, this will bring more publicity to "The Hidden Corner".
But who would have thought that Xiaoma Video actually wanted to buy the exclusive broadcasting rights.
"Boss Wang, you need to think carefully. The market for criminal investigation dramas is not good nowadays."
Wang Jun said to Wang Fei, "I think it would be better for the three of us to buy together and share the risk."
"Haha, I'm optimistic about The Hidden Corner. Aren't you guys at Lang Video rich? You can buy it for a higher price."
Wang Fei said with a chuckle.
Wang Jun was thinking MMP.
Because these are what he said when he bought "The Rumored Chen Qianqian".
OK.
You are so cruel.
Half an hour later, Baiqian Media and Xiaoma Video signed an exclusive broadcasting agreement. At the same time, the launch time, promotion, follow-up cooperation, etc. were all discussed in detail.
No matter how good the words are, they are useless. Agreement is the right way.
In the afternoon, "The Bad Kids" officially announced its release date, and released a slightly fresh poster. This poster was taken by all the cast members in the show, and it looked like a family celebration.
Later, Xiaoma Video’s official account also reposted the post and wrote: “On July 10, lock on Xiaoma Video, we’ll see you there.”
Because "The Bad Kids" had already said that it would be aired as soon as possible, so everyone was not surprised by the official announcement so quickly, but what surprised everyone was why this criminal investigation drama chose Xiaoma Entertainment? ?
Later, the industry revealed that Xiaoma Video was bought for 12 million per episode.
"Damn, no wonder, it seems that Xiao Ma Video is really not afraid of death."
"That's right. Who doesn't know that criminal investigation dramas have flopped? This Xiaoma Video is really bold in asking such a high price."
"The three of them are reluctant to give it up. Isn't it said that anything produced by Yu Xiaoshu must be of high quality?"
"How can it be absolute? Even the online movie "Hidden Murderer" flopped, Bai Jin Luo Yuan was finished, do you think Yu Bushu can be undefeated?"
"That makes sense."
"I think 12 million per episode is high. This is the peak price for online dramas right now."
…
There are still a lot of people discussing this online.
Netizens’ memories are basically only seven days. They seem to have forgotten what they said when “The Rumored Chen Qianqian” became a hit.
No.
There is no need for "The Rumored Chen Qianqian", just say that it has only been a few days since "Hard Candy" set the record for online movies.
These 4 works that everyone just boasted about were produced by Yu Xiaoshu, so they must be masterpieces.
Why are you questioning again in the blink of an eye?
This time, the media did not say anything like Xiaoma Video is stupid, Xiaoma Video is rich, or that "The Bad Kids" is bound to fail.
On the contrary, the media began to praise "The Bad Kids" and they even expressed their expectation that "The Bad Kids" could once again save the criminal investigation drama.
Someone on Douhu started a discussion, asking everyone to guess whether "The Bad Kids" can surpass "The Undocumented Crime".
1: There is no pressure for "The Bad Kids" to surpass "The Innocent Conman".
2: "The Bad Kids" will not be better than "The Undocumented", but it will not flop.
3: "The Bad Kids" is definitely a flop.
4: I am just a bystander.
There are 4 options in total, and 70% of the people on Douhu voted for 2. Everyone thinks that "The Undocumented Crime" is definitely the pinnacle of criminal investigation dramas, and they think it will be difficult for "The Bad Kids" to surpass it in a short period of time.
Of course, although this is what they said, everyone also believes that "The Bad Kids" will not fail.
Most people on Douhu are still relatively rational. Even some of those who criticize Yu Xiaoshu or hate him have to admit one thing, that is, Yu Xiaoshu is talented.
Then, everyone may think it is impossible for "The Bad Kids" to become a hit again.
After all, hit products are not cabbages, how can all of them be available?
However, the possibility of "The Bad Kids" failing is low, after all, the screenwriter of this drama is Yu Xiaoshu.
But it’s different on certain social platforms.
There was also a vote on the social platform, but basically 70% of the votes were for "The Bad Kids" to fail.
This is the case with most public opinion.
Many times, the minority voice often represents the majority.
Because Yu Xiaoshu actually doesn't have any so-called die-hard fans, but he has a lot of black fans, and there are more people who hate him, such as Lin Feiyang's ex-wife Mu Lefeng, his ex-wife, and some other people, all of whom have die-hard fans.
Die-hard fans are naturally black fans.
The black fans are persistent, not to mention their ability to lead the trend. So even though these people are few in number, their voices are loud.
Under such circumstances, it is understandable that Yu Xiaoshu is viewed negatively on social platforms.
Baiqian Media.
Yu Xiaoshu doesn't really care about online public opinion.
He always believed that public opinion should not be easily manipulated, and that one should not think of manipulating public opinion just because he has tasted the sweetness.
Because anyone who wants to manipulate public opinion will ultimately be backfired on.
As for those black fans, he doesn't care even more.
As long as "The Bad Kids" starts airing, everything will be solved.
He doesn't care, but Liu Qianqian does.
Originally, Liu Qianqian was quite pleased with herself, because since Yu Xiaoshu came to Baiqian Media, she, Liu Qianqian, could be said to have never failed.
But last month, that online movie produced by Qiduo flopped.
This suddenly reminded Liu Qianqian of her miserable life.
She has a psychological trauma.
So, when the release date poster of "The Bad Kids" came out, so many people on the Internet thought that this online movie would definitely flop, which made Liu Qianqian panic.
"Teacher Yu, do you think we need to do anything else?"
Liu Qianqian took the initiative to come to Yu Xiaoshu's office, and then said with some excitement.
"kindness???"
Yu Xiaoshu was stunned: "Didn't I ask you to promote "The Hidden Corner"? "
"Yes, I know, but this is not enough. Look at the public opinion on the Internet now. We are almost being criticized like dogs. Why don't we fight back?"
Liu Qianqian said anxiously: "You can tolerate this, but I can't."
"Boss Liu, I'm not asking you to endure it, but you should know which one is more important."
Yu Xiaoshu said with some amusement: "If a dog bites us, will you bite it back?"
Liu Qianqian was about to say something, but Yu Xiaoshu added, "We have to choose the right opportunity and beat the dog to death with a dog-beating stick."
call.
Liu Qianqian swallowed her words.
Yes, who doesn’t know that Yu Xiaoshu is the most vengeful person?
He is not a bun.
So Liu Qianqian said: "Then I understand. I will get busy now."
"kindness."
Yu Xiaoshu nodded gently. "Mr. Liu, we will definitely face several more waves of public opinion attacks in the future. After all, in addition to The Hidden Corner, All Is Well is about to start filming. Which of the three works will not be criticized by then? There is also a saying that if you are not envied, you are mediocre. The more they criticize us, the more it proves that our drama is better."
In fact, Yu Xiaoshu did not think that Liu Qianqian was acting on impulse. On the contrary, this was in line with Liu Qianqian's character. Otherwise, Yu Xiaoshu would not have been willing to join Baiqian Media.
Where can you find a boss who has little work to do, pays a lot, is enthusiastic and obedient?
The most important thing is not to be clingy.
Finding a boss is sometimes like finding a spouse. It is difficult to find a suitable one.
After all, even married couples have the seven-year itch, let alone the boss? ?
But at present, Yu Xiaoshu feels that he and Liu Qianqian are still in the passionate love period.
As for the future? ?
We’ll talk about it later.
Anyway, at present, Yu Xiaoshu and Liu Qianqian have the same interests.
Make Baiqian Media bigger and stronger.
Two days later, "The Bad Kids" released another poster.
This time, compared to the sunshine and freshness of the first one, this poster looks heavy.
The overall color of the poster is darker. At the same time, in a round lens are the faces of three children: Zhu Chaoyang, Pupu, and Yan Liang, and they seem to be looking towards Zhen Xiang.
On the other side, there was Zhang Dongsheng's cold and fierce energy.
This scene left the audience a little surprised.
"Nah, this poster has that vibe, and it looks like there's some real story behind it."
"No, could it be that Lin Feiyang is playing the villain?"
"How is that possible? Since it's the second part of a mystery trilogy, I think Lin Feiyang is probably a policeman."
"That's right, MMP. When I saw that poster before, I thought it was a bit weird. I thought how could a crime drama be fresh? Now this poster makes me understand."
…
The discussion is still quite high.
And because of the contrast between the first poster and the second poster, more people are looking forward to "The Bad Kids".
In the past two days, Xiaoma Video’s resources have been fully utilized, and publicity and promotion seem to be free of charge.
According to conservative estimates, Xiaoma Video has spent more than 20 million on promotion and marketing on Douhu, social platforms, and some live streaming platforms.
Crazy.
The pony video went crazy.
Not only the outside world thinks so, but also the people inside Xiaoma Video think so.
Everyone used to think that Wang Fei was relatively conservative, but now it seems that he is not conservative at all, he is too radical.
Pony video conference room.
"Boss Wang, we can't invest any more."
"We bought "The Bad Kids" for 12 million per episode, which was already aggressive enough. It's too much to spend 20 million on the promotion and marketing."
"With such an investment, how can we possibly make a profit?"
…
In the conference room, everyone was trying to persuade Wang Fei, even Wang Fei's confidants were advising Wang Fei to be more cautious.
Think about Ding Yi.
A lesson for us.
In response, Wang Fei shook his head and said, "The plan remains unchanged. It will be broadcast at 8 o'clock tomorrow night. Let's invest some more pop-up advertising resources today to let everyone know that "The Hidden Corner" will be broadcast tomorrow night."
If you fail, you will die.
Of course Wang Fei knew how to take risks, but what did he gain from being safe in this regard?
He only has half a year left.
The company's financial statements speak for themselves.
It’s even hard to say whether he has half a year left.
In such a situation, Wang Fei could only be radical.
All crazy.
Not only Wang Fei went crazy, but everyone at Baiqian Media also thought Yu Xiaoshu was crazy when they learned about his next move.
It's all fucking crazy.
Amid outside discussions, "The Hidden Corner" was officially released on Xiaoma Video at 8 p.m. on July 10.
…
…
(Today I realized that I had been writing "The Hidden Corner" as "The Hidden Corner". How stupid.
