Chapter 98 I'm afraid I have to apologize to the dog (asking for rewards and monthly tickets)
The eyes of the masses are sharp.
Just like when "The Return of Zen" was first broadcast, the audience can trust you and support you, but if you are useless, the audience will abandon you.
Just like falling in love at first sight is about the face, but if you don’t have enough capital, then you can’t get along with someone.
At Zou Jun's home, Zou Jun, Yu Xiaoshu and Wang Bao were discussing this matter.
"Xiaoshu, did you expect this result?"
Zou Jun asked Yu Xiaoshu.
Yu Xiaoshu smiled and said, "It's OK. I've worked with Sun Hei for a few months, and I have some understanding of his personality. He is stubborn and self-righteous, and most importantly, he has no idea of his own abilities. When we were filming "I Am Yu Huanshui", he was in a desperate situation, but he still made trouble and was stubborn. This time, he is so inflated that it would be a miracle if he didn't make trouble."
Wang Bao said: "I heard that Sun Hei had several arguments with screenwriters Liu Xiang and Li Ruhai on the set. Of course, there is no concrete evidence for this."
At this point, Wang Bao said happily: "The pressure on MiLi Video should be reduced now. As for Tiger Star Video and Xiaoma Video, they should still be under pressure."
"I just checked and found that the first episode of I Am Li Xiaobao had 170 million views, but the second and third episodes had a significant drop in views, especially the third episode, which only had 60 million views."
Zou Jun said: "It depends on whether Sun Hei will change his ways later."
"No."
Yu Xiaoshu shook his head and said, "Sun Hei is the type who won't turn back even if he hits a wall. Besides, if he changes now, then if he succeeds, it proves that Sun Hei was a waste before. If he fails, Sun Hei will also be blamed. In this case, why not just go all the way?"
Although Yu Xiaoshu doesn't understand directing, he understands people's hearts.
Sun Hei can't change.
Besides, "I Am Li Xiaobao" with a score of 7.1 cannot be considered a flop.
Yu Xiaoshu even personally speculated that Sun Hei would probably continue to be paranoid.
Wouldn't he want to reflect on whether he did something wrong with his shooting, rhythm, or editing?
On the contrary, Sun Hei would probably just feel that he was not persistent enough.
Thinking of this, Yu Xiaoshu said to Wang Bao: "Uncle Wang, from now on, Liu Qianqian can continue to attract hatred while spending money."
For Yu Xiaoshu, Liu Qianqian, the Tibetan Mastiff, is very suitable for charging into battle.
A...good boss.
Wang Bao laughed and said, "Don't worry, I called Liu Qianqian on the way here, and she is ready to do something big now."
Liu Qianqian has always wanted to prove herself.
Now it has finally been proven.
If anyone dares to provoke Liu Qianqian, Liu Qianqian will definitely tear that person to pieces.
Yu Xiaoshu nodded gently: "Okay."
On the other side, Sun Hei was just as Yu Xiaoshu had guessed.
He didn't think it was his fault.
"The first three episodes have received over 100 million hits, which proves the quality of this drama, and how can a rating of 7.1 be considered low?"
Sun Hei shook his head and said, "Mr. Wu, in fact, if the first three episodes were done according to my ideas, the rating would definitely be over 7.5 points, but Liu Xiang was a bit stubborn, so I had to compromise."
Wu Hai said, "Old Sun, I'm not saying that the quality of this drama is not good. What I mean is that the number of views of the first three episodes is decreasing, and the backend data of Xiaoma Video shows that the retention rate of the third episode is extremely low, so we must pay attention to it."
Xia Qing said at the side: "Old Sun, should we speed up the tempo next? I saw a lot of comments saying the tempo is too slow."
"Mr. Wu, Mr. Xia, I understand what you mean, but don't be fooled by the comments. They are all for fun."
Sun Hei said disapprovingly: "What I have to do in the first three episodes is to lay the groundwork, and the pace will be a little slower when the story progresses in parallel. When the climax comes later, these people will be 'really attracted'. You don't understand drama."
“We don’t understand drama.”
Wu Hai didn't want to say anything too harsh, but Xia Qing was a little anxious: "But, Lao Sun, can you take a look at the comments section and see what the audience is saying."
"There's no need to read the comments section. They'll disrupt my rhythm. As for the audience?"
Sun Hei said to Xia Qing, "Don't you understand the audience? The audience has been fed up with too much shit in recent years. They are not used to watching quality dramas. They need us to guide them. If you follow the audience, they will be led into the ditch by the audience."
Xia Qing: "I..."
At this time, Xia Qing was really angry at Sun Hei's stubbornness.
He didn't expect Sun Hei to be so arrogant.
What's the difference between this and Guo Han's previous criticism of the audience for not understanding aesthetics? ?
Thinking of this, Xia Qing told Sun Hei, "Old Sun, we won't interfere with the filming of this drama. Boss Wu and I will listen to you on how you want to film it. However, you have to listen to me on one thing."
Sun Hei was stunned: "You say."
"That is to control your mouth. Li Ruhai is the screenwriter. He and Yu Xiaoshu have a personal grudge, and he is only an assistant screenwriter in "I Am Li Xiaobao", so even if he does something out of line, the impact will not be too big. But you are different. You are the director of "I Am Li Xiaobao", and your words and deeds will directly affect this web series."
Xia Qing said to Sun Hei in a serious tone: "Look at Guo Han, he just can't control his mouth and has to scold the audience. You must not do this."
Wu Hai also said: "Old Xia is right to remind you of this. Old Sun, you have been a bit arrogant recently. You should pay attention to it."
"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing. There's no way I'd go and confront the audience like that idiot Guo Han."
Sun Hei laughed: "I will not speak out anymore. I will prove myself with practical actions. When the fourth episode of "I am Li Xiaobao" comes out next week, I believe everyone will owe me an apology."
Sun Hei is confident enough about this.
Because, there is a climax in the fourth episode.
A breaking point.
But Sun Hei had to wait until the fourth episode to apologize, and what he waited for next was scolding from the audience.
Beans.
At 8 o'clock, when the score of "I Am Li Xiaobao" was just released, it was 7.1 points, which is considered a good score.
However, many viewers give this rating based on filters.
Let me put it this way.
Love the house and love the dog.
Because of the success of "I Am Yu Huanshui", many viewers who liked "I Am Yu Huanshui" gave five-star reviews to "I Am Li Xiaobao".
Therefore, the scores are artificially high when they are opened.
Then, it kept falling.
At 8 o'clock, the score of "I Am Li Xiaobao" was just released, with a score of 7.1.
At 9 o'clock, the score of "I Am Li Xiaobao" dropped to 7 points.
At 1 a.m., the score of "I Am Li Xiaobao" dropped to 6.8 points.
By 8 a.m. on the 14th, the score of "I Am Li Xiaobao" had dropped to 6.1 points.
How to say it?
6 points is a threshold.
If "I Am Li Xiaobao" falls below 6 points, then this web drama will be labeled as a bad movie.
This time, Sun Hei was not so confident anymore.
Fortunately, the score of "I Am Li Xiaobao" did not drop below 6 points.
But even so, the reputation of this web drama is in a precarious state.
On Douhu, some big Vs began to endorse "I Am Li Xiaobao".
Basically the words are similar.
A good drama cannot have a fast pace. What everyone needs to do is wait, and the first three episodes of "I Am Li Xiaobao" are actually quite satisfactory.
Faced with the comments of these big Vs who are just making money, some netizens are not buying it.
"fart!"
In the office, Geng Xinggang looked at the direction of the wind and couldn't help but swear.
He believes that the current trend of these big Vs will harm "I Am Li Xiaobao".
So Geng Xinggang took advantage of his time to slack off at work and quickly wrote a review of the play, and then published it under his own account "Xingxing is not called Gang".
Geng Xinggang said in this drama review: "The pace of the first three episodes of "I Am Li Xiaobao" is not just slow, but most importantly, it is mixed with a lot of meaningless plots, which even makes me suspect that this is intentional to increase the number of episodes. But the golden three episodes are watered down. Isn't this courting death?"
At the same time, Geng Xinggang also used "The Undocumented Crime" as an example, saying: "Don't say that good dramas have a slow pace. Have you watched "The Undocumented Crime"? Look at the first three episodes. And I am a fan of Ying Zhao, but if you love her, you should point out her shortcomings. Think about Ying Zhao's role as Liang Anni in "I Am Yu Huanshui", and then look at her performance in "I Am Li Xiaobao", can't you see it?"
Geng Xinggang wrote this review of the play very carefully.
He earnestly advised that the crew of "I Am Li Xiaobao" must not hire amateurs to edit the film, and that the pace must be accelerated from now on.
Otherwise it might really collapse.
This review coincides with another review.
That is the 2.8-meter-long penis of the person who has been labeled as "Yu Xiaoshu's Navy" on Douhu.
Compared to Geng Xinggang's restraint and self-control, "二米八子" is more venomous.
The title of the long review she wrote is: Did "I Am Li Xiaobao" really completely crush "The Undocumented Crime"?
This long review was posted before 8pm last night.
At that time, the ratings for these two web dramas had not yet come out.
At the same time, when I was writing this long review, Sun Hei, Li Ruhai and Liu Xiang were attacking Yu Xiaoshu.
In his 2.8m long review, Jiji analyzed the pros and cons of the two web series, and then said: "I hope Sun Hei, Li Ruhai, Liu Xiang and some others will jump more gently. If the ratings show that "The Undocumented Crime" crushes "I Am Li Xiaobao", will you be embarrassed then?"
Then, Sun Hei, Li Ruhai, Liu Xiang and others who besieged "Jiji 2.8 meters" yesterday took practical actions to show that they were not embarrassed.
Still as stubborn as iron.
Some of them even said: "When the fourth episode of I Am Li Xiaobao comes out, I will give this '2.8-meter-long penis' a good slap in the face."
"I'll give you a few slaps."
Jiji 2m8s said: "I'll see whose face gets swollen. By the way, if you really want to save face, then you should apologize to Yu Xiaoshu first."
Normally, '鸡鸡两米八' is both sharp-tongued and calm when writing drama reviews.
But recently, Ji Ji, who is 2.8 meters tall, would occasionally get angry because she was speaking up for Yu Xiaoshu.
In response to many questions, Jiji2m8 responded as coolly as ever: "I am not on Yu Xiaoshu's side, I am just on the side of justice."
On Douhu, more and more people are supporting "The Undocumented Crime".
At this time, the power of word-of-mouth fermentation appeared.
For two consecutive days, the number of views of "The Undocumented Crime" exceeded 100 million, and its rating on Douhu remained at 8.2 points without dropping.
As for "I Am Li Xiaobao", the rating remained at 6 points, but the number of clicks on this web drama was shrinking.
Normally, the number of views of "I Am Li Xiaobao" should have exceeded 200 million long ago, but it has not yet done so.
This illustrates two points.
First, word of mouth has affected "I Am Li Xiaobao". More and more netizens think that the pace is slow, and then other netizens who originally wanted to watch it said that the pace is slow, so they won't watch it either.
Second, there is a ceiling for Xiaoma Video’s traffic; after all, it is not one of the top three.
So, Xiaoma Video became a little anxious.
In the conference room.
Ding Yi said to the publicity director Li Qing: "Why has the number of hits on "I Am Li Xiaobao" stagnated? Didn't I tell you? We need to continue to increase publicity."
Li Qing smiled bitterly and said, "Boss Ding, we have already invested enough resources. We have done everything we can on social platforms, Douhu, the homepage of Xiaoma Video and pop-up ads, and even on major live broadcast platforms."
"not enough."
Ding Yi shook his head and said, "At that time, the prediction was that the number of hits for "I Am Li Xiaobao" in the first week should exceed 400 million, but now it's not even 200 million?"
Just think about it, despite such unfavorable circumstances, the number of hits on "I Am Yu Huanshui" in the first week exceeded 100 million.
"I Am Li Xiaobao", which held all the effects of "I Am Yu Huanshui", has now stagnated after its first-day hits exceeded 100 million.
More importantly, the publicity resources of "I Am Li Xiaobao" are more than 5 times that of "I Am Yu Huanshui".
The most anticipated cub in the pony video has such diarrhea.
It would be strange if Ding Yi could accept it.
“No more.”
Li Qing urged: "Boss Ding, we are actually losing money now, and we need to allocate resources to other web series as well."
Wang Fei also said: "Boss Ding, I looked at the data of "I Am Li Xiaobao". It is useless to invest other resources now because the exposure of this drama has reached a critical point."
It would have been better if Wang Fei didn't say anything, but after he said this, Ding Yi thought that Wang Fei was being sarcastic to him.
Want to laugh at me?
Ding Yi sneered in his heart, but he didn't show any sign on his face. He just coughed and said, "I just communicated with Tiger Star Films. They will speed up the pace of the fourth episode and there will be a climax, so we must increase the publicity. As long as the fourth episode is online, the audience will also come back and help us promote it spontaneously."
"Boss Ding, I think we should be cautious. We can wait until the fourth episode is online to see the effect and then measure the publicity. After all, what Tiger Star Films says may not be reliable."
Wang Fei frowned and said: "And I heard..."
"Vice President Wang, are you teaching me how to do things?"
Ding Yi said to Wang Fei, "If I had listened to you and not purchased "I Am Yu Huanshui", would Xiaoma Video have experienced a blowout?"
"Boss Ding, you don't have to keep using this to pressure me. Everything I do is for the company, and I'm not targeting people. I think you've lost your mind. If you put all your money on 'I Am Li Xiaobao', I'm worried you'll lose money."
Wang Fei could no longer bear it at this time, he directly retorted: "And this time it is you who rejected "Undocumented Crime", not me."
"you…"
Ding Yi was very angry when he heard what Wang Fei said. He said angrily: "The performance of "Undocumented Crime" is far worse than "I Am Li Xiaobao". If you really have a problem with me, you can report me, but now, you must do as I say."
"I will."
Wang Fei said this and stood up: "Boss Ding, you'd better take care of yourself. It's not too late to stop the loss now."
"Haha, I believe in the strength of "I Am Li Xiaobao", and I believe in Director Sun Hei even more."
Ding Yi sneered.
This Wang Fei wants to publicly surrender his army.
He had a good calculation.
But he was wishful thinking.
After the meeting, Ding Yi called Sun Hei again.
Sun Hei smiled and said, "Boss Ding, don't worry, this fourth episode will definitely be a hit. I didn't give full play to the first three episodes due to the restrictions of Liu Xiang and Li Ruhai. This time, the fourth episode is made completely according to my ideas, so don't worry."
Ding Yi nodded gently: "Okay, I feel relieved with your words."
After hanging up the phone, Ding Yi called Li Qing to his office again and told him to invest more resources.
It has come to this.
Ding Yi must promote "I Am Li Xiaobao".
It was just like Yu Xiaoshu guessed that Sun Hei would not change.
It is also impossible for Ding Yi to change now.
Go down a path that leads to the end.
But Ding Yi thought that "I Am Li Xiaobao" would not be able to lose.
After all, this lineup is stronger than that of "The Undocumented".
And Sun Hei said that the fourth episode will be a hit.
At the beginning, everyone predicted that "I Am Li Xiaobao" could win even if he tied a dog.
For Ding Yi, as long as "I Am Li Xiaobao" does not lose to "The Undocumented Crime", Ding Yi will be invincible.
So, Wang Fei wanted to confront himself.
Dreaming of a fucking Spring and Autumn period.
…
Yifeng Recording Studio.
"Teacher Yu, please wait a moment, Zizi will be here soon."
Liu Tian spoke politely to Yu Xiaoshu.
"No rush. By the way, have you set a release date for the new album?"
Yu Xiaoshu asked Liu Tian: "I remember you said March 16th before?"
"We were originally planning on March 16, but Lin Miao set the date for her new song on March 27, so we are also planning on March 27."
Liu Tian asked politely: "Teacher Yu, what do you think?"
"I don't have any opinions. You can just make the arrangements as you see fit. I am very satisfied with your arrangements."
Yu Xiaoshu smiled and said, "That's how it should be. Since Lin Miao has been sniping at you before, you can't let her go. Give her a taste of her own medicine."
At this point, Yu Xiaoshu did not hide the fact: "Our goals are the same."
Liu Tian: "Hmm? Teacher Yu, what do you mean?"
"Lin Miao's agent is Ding Hong, and Ding Hong is also Mu Lefeng's agent."
Yu Xiaoshu smiled and said, "You understand what I said, right? If you don't understand, go back and think about it."
If Yu Xiaoshu had dared to speak to her like this in the past, Liu Tian would have definitely been furious.
But now, the one in front of me is my master.
So Liu Tian smiled and said, "Okay, I understand."
Yu Xiaoshu didn't care whether Liu Tian understood or not.
As long as he achieves his goal, that's enough.
Next, Lou Zi released a song to attack Lin Miao.
That's not enough.
But on March 28th, "No Evidence" will be aired.
Then will be the time to settle the accounts.
And Yu Xiaoshu had a vague idea in his mind.
This idea could kill "Dead Men Tell No Tales" in one fell swoop.
No matter how powerful "Dead Men Tell No Tales" is.
No one could save him.
I, Yu Xiaoshu, said that.
"Little tree, little tree..."
Lou Zi came to Yu Xiaoshu, and she was a little shocked to see Yu Xiaoshu standing there in a daze, with a gloomy look on his face: "Did you not get enough rest recently? I'll take you to the hospital for a checkup."
"Oh, nothing."
Yu Xiaoshu looked at Lou Zi and smiled, "I was just thinking about something else."
"No, you have to get checked out. You're not in good health to begin with, and you don't need to be so tired."
Lou Zi said firmly, "Come on, I'll go to the hospital with you."
"Really, no need. I'm really fine. And I go to bed on time at 9 o'clock every day. I'm really fine."
Yu Xiaoshu said hurriedly: "Let's record the song first."
Liu Tian also said: "Yes, Zizi, record the song first."
"What the hell is this?"
Lou Zi looked at Liu Tian and said, "Sister Tian, do you still have a conscience? Look how exhausted Xiaoshu is to help us? Don't you know that creators work hard to create? Think about the song "I Crossed the Ocean to See You" that Xiaoshu wrote before, and look at this new song. He must have put a lot of effort into it, otherwise his body wouldn't be like this. And you asked him to help me record the song. How could you do this?"
Liu Tian: “???”
I'm not doing this for you.
Why do I have no conscience?
Yu Xiaoshu has a forehead full of colons.
At the same time, I felt a little embarrassed.
He really didn't work hard.
It's even kind of...relaxing.
As a result, Lou Zi was very tough.
"Xiao Shu, I know you want to prove yourself, so you don't want to be supported by me. It's okay, I understand you, but you can't joke about your life just to prove yourself."
However, Lou Zi dragged Yu Xiaoshu to go and experience it without any explanation.
After finishing the physical examination, Lou Zi finally felt relieved.
"Zizi, I said it's okay, you..."
Liu Tian wanted to say something, but Lou Zi said to Yu Xiaoshu, "Xiaoshu, let's do it another day. Go back and have some rest."
"No, just today. I might have to go back to Ice City tomorrow."
Yu Xiaoshu didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "The doctor said I'm fine. If you don't believe me, you have to believe the doctor."
So, Lou Zi finally agreed to record the song.
When leaving, Lou Zi said, "Xiao Shu, I will go to Bingcheng to see you in a few days. You will need someone to take care of you. Okay, you don't have to refuse. It's settled."
have to.
Lou Zi has said all the words, so what else can Yu Xiaoshu say?
Be thankful.
Be thankful for your good ex.
The next day, Yu Xiaoshu returned to Ice City.
The filming was not affected during the days when Yu Xiaoshu was away.
As for the editing work, Yu Xiaoshu handed it all over to Zhu Zhichao.
In any case, the fourth episode will definitely be aired as scheduled on March 19th.
Whether on Douhu or other social platforms, Yu Xiaoshu did not speak out.
The list is already drawn up.
The same thing.
Come one by one.
We're not in a hurry.
Now Baiqian Media only needs someone to speak out.
That is the Tibetan Mastiff Liu Qianqian.
After a few days of continuous input, Liu Qianqian became famous on the Internet again.
In the past, Liu Qianqian had a strong personality and was always ruthless to trolls.
But at that time, Liu Qianqian was a "general who always lost" after all.
She has no confidence at all.
It's different now.
The rating of "The Undocumented Crime" on Douhu has always been above 8 points. Who dares to say at this time that she is a general who always loses?
More importantly, why are you calling Baiqian Media garbage?
Saying Yu Xiaoshu is trash?
Yu Xiaoshu did not confront Li Ruhai, but Liu Qianqian did it herself.
Liu Qianqian directly listed all of Li Ruhai's screenwriting works at Baiqian Media, then heckled Li Ruhai and said, "Look for yourself, your screenwriting works, is it wrong for Teacher Yu to say that you are rubbish?"
Then, Liu Qianqian also said to Liu Xiang and Sun Hei, "You are all like nagging women. If you don't know, you might think that Teacher Yu did something to you. Everyone speaks with their works. What do you have to be proud of? Teacher Yu doesn't want to pay attention to you, and I, as your boss, can't stand it."
…
You know what, Liu Qianqian's continuous input is still somewhat useful.
After all, it is impossible for Sun Hei, Liu Xiang, Li Ruhai and others to debate with Liu Qianqian.
Are you debating with a woman?
Are you ashamed?
(This is not meant to disparage women.)
In addition to Liu Qianqian's continuous input, MiLi Video is also trying its best to provide resources to "The Undocumented Crime".
After all, Komili Video is not Xiaoma Video. They can only give some extra resources to "The Undocumented Crime", but it is impossible for them to give all of them.
After all, MiLi Video is one of the three major ones, so how could it have only one work, "The Undocumented Crime"?
March 19th.
The total number of views of "The Undocumented Crime" reached 160 million.
The total number of views and clicks of "I Am Li Xiaobao" has reached 250 million, and this number of views and clicks is only possible because of the crazy resources invested by Xiaoma Video.
But Ding Yi did not regret it.
Because if I don’t do that, I might actually lose.
Now just waiting for episode 4 to start airing today.
By then, there will be no problem at all.
Not only Ding Yi, many people are waiting for the update of "I Am Li Xiaobao" today.
Geng Xinggang even said in the "Otaku Praise Group": "I believe that if "I Am Li Xiaobao" learns from the experience and lessons of the first three episodes, as long as the pace is faster and clearer, it will be no problem to beat "The Undocumented Crime"."
Rational analysis.
This view is correct.
At 8 o'clock in the evening, "I Am Li Xiaobao" and "The Undocumented Crime" will be broadcast on time.
Because he is a die-hard fan, Geng Xinggang plans to watch the fourth episode of "I Am Li Xiaobao" first.
Then he was confused.
He didn't expect that the fourth episode would be so 'terrifying'.
He was really suffering from watching it.
Immediately afterwards, Geng Xinggang watched the fourth episode of "The Undocumented Crime".
He felt that many people would probably have to apologize to the dog tonight.
Who the hell said that you can win by tying a dog?
