Chapter 578: Can We Still Fight? ? ?
The filming of "The Beginning" went very smoothly, and Xiaoma Video was eager to increase traffic in April. After all, there are quite a few online dramas and TV series that will be released in April.
Among them, Xingyao, Kunlang and Mili Video have already had several dramas ready to be launched. Xiaoma Video certainly has dramas to be launched, but it has to be said that Xiaoma Video has no confidence in itself.
It can be said that Xiaoma Video has prepared three dramas, which are actually considered ace dramas, but they don’t really believe in them, or they are not very powerful.
None of the three dramas are purely about traffic or acting skills. On the contrary, all three dramas are a combination of acting skills and traffic.
Regardless, this is still popular recently.
At the same time, the actors and actresses of these three dramas are well-known, and their traffic is also well-known. Logically speaking, everyone thinks that 1 plus 1 should equal two.
But to be honest, in recent years, the combination of veteran actors and traffic has generally not had any effect.
Because 1 plus 1 is not equal to two. No, to be precise, it is not that 1 plus 1 is greater than 2. On the contrary, 1 plus 1 is less than two.
For this reason, Xiaoma Video certainly knows where the problem lies, and they naturally want to keep another one.
The same thing.
They felt that it was not because they were not strong, but on the contrary, it was just because the opponent was too strong.
The three video websites, Xingyao, Kunlang and Mili, all have some blockbuster works.
Think about it, at this time, Xiaoma Video basically needs to have a blockbuster work.
But where can I find Wang Zha's works? ?
Or, how can it be so easy to create a masterpiece?
For this reason, Xiaoma Video placed its hopes on Yu Xiaoshu. In fact, there were also some objections within Xiaoma Video.
After all, the drama "Beginning" was not well received by everyone when it started filming. More importantly, Yu Xiaoshu himself was not optimistic about the film he was filming.
Under such circumstances, who would think this is a winner?
Otherwise, why is it said that what people in the industry see is sometimes not the same as what people outside see? And this also illustrates one point, that is, many times what people in the industry do is not the same as what people outside do.
For example, the industry is optimistic about a show, but the outside world is not, and then the show flopped. For example, the industry is not optimistic about a show, but the outside world is optimistic about it, and then the show flopped.
Both are possible.
There are also some dramas that were favored by both the industry and the outside world, but then flopped.
"The Beginning" is even more bizarre.
The weird thing here refers to the fact that whether it is the industry, the outside world, or the audience, basically there are some who are optimistic and some who are not.
It seems that everyone has polarized opinions about "The Beginning".
That's right.
It's polarization.
Those who like this web drama and believe in it basically think that there is absolutely no problem with it.
There are people who don't like this web drama, some even don't like Yu Xiaoshu. There are also some people who are discussing it within the industry. Some of them think that this drama will flop based on rational analysis, while others think that this drama will not flop blindly.
This is no longer the case.
In the past, Yu Xiaoshu’s dramas were almost unanimously considered to be hits.
Now it's polarized.
Faced with outside talk, or discussion, Yu Xiaoshu did not take it to heart.
In his opinion, this is not the point.
He has always believed in the saying that whether it is a mule or a horse, take it out for a ride.
Currently, the issue is about the release date of "The Beginning".
What time slot should I choose in April?
Xingyao Video has a drama premiering on April 10th, another drama premiering on April 20th, and another drama premiering on April 30th.
Kunlang Video has a drama airing on April 1st, another drama airing on April 11th, and another drama airing on April 22nd.
MiLi Video has a drama premiering on April 5th, another on April 15th, and another on April 25th.
Xiaoma Video has a drama premiering on April 2, another drama premiering on April 12, and another drama premiering on April 22.
The above are the dramas that will be broadcast on the four major video websites in April.
How to say it? ?
April is already the hottest month this year, because it seems that all dramas choose to air in April.
In April, 12 dramas were aired. Among these 12 dramas, you can say that all kinds of dramas are available. Many people say that you, the audience, may get tired of watching one drama, but with so many dramas, there will always be one you like.
kindness.
That’s the benefit of having too many dramas.
There is always one suitable for you.
I don’t know what’s wrong with everyone, or what the bosses of the four video websites are thinking, but everything was fine, and suddenly they want to have a fight, and there’s no sign at all.
Many people don’t want to understand.
In the past few years, video websites seem to be really screwed up. They started by burning money, and they burned money hard. At that time, membership was basically cheap, and there were all kinds of so-called subsidies. Sometimes you just had to take advantage of the benefits and didn't need to spend any money at all.
Grab users.
Video websites are similar to some other websites. Basically, they only focus on new users. New users can be said to be treated very well, but old users are treated worse than dogs.
In short, new users are basically valuable.
At the same time, after burning money to a certain extent, and feeling that it is of no use, and with relatively serious losses in the past two years, there is only one thing left to do: raise prices.
What is the most critical thing???
There is nothing wrong with the membership price increase, but if the membership price increases but the quality of the movies and TV series does not change, then who is willing to spend the money? ?
fan.
Fan circles are willing to spend money.
Therefore, some film and television dramas have to add some traffic, and the use of traffic actors is mainly used to harvest leeks.
After all, fans’ money is the easiest to collect, right?
In this regard, if you look at the dramas broadcast in April, you will find that there is basically no drama that did not increase traffic.
In the past, whether it was "Bright Sword", "Soldier Assault", "In the Name of People" or several others, Yu Xiaoshu has proved that there is no problem with pure acting skills.
But it's no use.
If everyone could shoot these phenomenal works, they wouldn't be so pleasing to the eye.
Sometimes, that's just reality.
There are already so many shows scheduled for April, and now "The Beginning" is said to be aired in April.
There are too many people here.
Naturally, some people are discussing this online.
"Fuck, I just want to ask, do you really need so many???"
“Yeah, I don’t understand either, why are they all concentrated in April?”
"You ask me, who should I ask? Anyway, I think these people in the film and television industry are fucked up. Either they don't fucking appear in any drama, or they fucking appear in a lot of dramas."
“Hahaha, I really want to go together, and I heard that “The Beginning” will also be released in April???”
"Yes, I heard that it was originally planned for the end of March, but for some reason it was said to be April. However, it has not been made clear yet."
…
There is nothing wrong with the online discussions.
In fact, "The Beginning" was originally planned for the end of March, but Xiaoma Video didn't make much preparations in March, so they wanted to really attract a wave of traffic in April.
April was a month of battle between the gods, with the three major video websites taking turns to appear on the scene. In short, no one wanted to be at a disadvantage.
Of course, there is a more important reason, that is, the three major video websites are suffering heavy losses, and they want to attract traffic as quickly as possible.
MiLi Video is the weakest among the three major video websites. However, with the joining of Dongyi Film and Television, they are gradually becoming stronger. The three dramas that started airing in April are basically the trump dramas of Dongyi Film and Television.
In short, after the restoration of MiLi Video, we plan to revive it in April.
To be precise, it means being the king again.
As long as it can defeat the other two video websites, MiLi Video will be able to regain enough traffic, or even new users, because the three dramas of Dongyi Film and Television have a very deep audience base, with sequels and IP adaptations.
In MiLi Video’s opinion, these three dramas will definitely not fail.
That's exactly why they don't care much about Pony Video.
Yu Xiaoshu used to be very powerful.
But that was only the past after all.
What is the situation now???
Yu Xiaoshu himself didn't even think highly of the online drama he directed and starred in.
If that's the case, then what's so scary about MiLi Video???
Not only MiLi Video thinks so, but the two video websites Xingyao and Kunlang basically think the same.
These two video websites believe that Xiaoma Video is not competitive at all.
They also don't believe in "The Beginning".
It can be said that the only one who currently believes in "The Beginning" is Xiaoma Video.
Xiaoma Video, Wu Donglei’s office.
"Teacher Yu, this is the list of web series or TV series that will be airing in April."
Wu Donglei said to Yu Xiaoshu, "We were planning to start the show at the end of March, but the situation in April was a bit special, so we decided to start the show in April. Can you take a look and see if there is a suitable time slot?"
"The right time???"
Yu Xiaoshu glanced at the list of TV series and put it down: "There's no need to bother with that. I've said it before, and I still say it now. I don't think Beginning needs to compete with anyone because I believe in its quality. You've seen the first three episodes, so let's just go with April 1st."
really.
When the outside world does not pay much attention to "The Beginning" or does not trust it very much, Xiaoma Video currently has extraordinary trust in this web drama.
The reason is simple.
Xiaoma Video had already watched the first three episodes of this web drama five days ago.
When reading the script before, Wu Donglei actually thought that this web drama was really good. However, when it comes to filming the script and then editing it, that’s a completely different matter.
For some TV series, when you read the script you think the show will be popular, but when it is filmed, it is basically a failure.
This is also considered normal.
As mentioned before, the script, the director’s filming, and the editing can sometimes be three completely different works.
But this situation will never happen with Yu Xiaoshu.
First of all, the script was written by Yu Xiaoshu, directed by Yu Xiaoshu, and the editing is not to mention.
In the entire Baiqian Media, almost everyone knows that the best editor in their company is Yu Xiaoshu.
Needless to say, Zhu Zhichao's editing skills have improved by leaps and bounds in recent years, and he is quite famous in the industry.
But let’s be honest.
Zhu Zhichao was trained by Yu Xiaoshu.
When Zhu Zhichao first came to Baiqian Media, he was just a newcomer. He was an intern at Huxing Film and Television and had not even had the opportunity to edit some films.
But when Zhu Zhichao came to Baiqian Media, he was trained by Yu Xiaoshu.
For Zhu Zhichao, Yu Xiaoshu is his great benefactor.
Not only in his career, but also in his family.
At present, Zhu Zhichao has been able to work independently in Baiqian Media for a long time. This time, Zhu Zhichao also came to help in "The Beginning", but he was just a supporting role.
After all, with Yu Xiaoshu here, there is no need to worry about the editing of "The Beginning".
Zhu Zhichao found the outside world's ridicule of "The Beginning" and even various forms of distrust of "The Beginning" quite interesting.
That's right.
It's just fun.
Not only did he find it interesting, his boss, the big boss Liu Qianqian, also found it interesting.
How many years.
Don’t these people have a long memory?
To this end, Liu Qianqian asked the water army to do something.
That is to take screenshots of all the people who think that "The Beginning" is rubbish, all the people who think that "The Beginning" is a flop, and all the people who think that "The Beginning" is not a good show.
Let’s wait until “The Beginning” is released.
Liu Qianqian never cares about the release date issue.
She is just a leader of a navy, and all she has to do is do her job as a navy.
The release date has been set, and Teacher Yu is in charge.
At Xiaoma Video, when Wu Donglei heard that Yu Xiaoshu was going to schedule the show on April 1, his first reaction was to persuade him to do something about it. After all, a drama would be aired on Kunlang Video on April 1, and it was a pretty good one.
In response, Yu Xiaoshu only asked one question: "Do you think "Beginning" has no chance???"
Let alone Kunlang Video, in Yu Xiaoshu's opinion, there is no need to worry about the other two video websites.
His confidence in "The Beginning" was not blind, but gained through feedback.
And just like that, "The Beginning" is officially scheduled to be released on April 1st.
At the same time, the release date trailer was also released.
In the trailer, everyone finally understood why this drama is called "The Beginning" and why it is said to be an infinite flow.
"This is definitely not science fiction. This is just a loop that keeps repeating over and over again."
"Don't tell me, it looks quite interesting."
"Never mind, April 1st, I'll take a look first."
…
Obviously, the release of the trailer has piqued everyone's interest a little.
And it is certainly not enough to just arouse a little interest.
