Chapter 135 What I said, no one can help me (please give me a monthly ticket)
Baiqian Media, Wang Bao’s office.
"Boss Wang, I give in."
Li Yang said with a hint of admiration: "In just 13 hours, with Kunlang Video only giving it S-level promotion, the total number of hits has exceeded 6,000."
A phenomenal online drama basically costs billions of dollars.
And at the moment, it’s only a matter of time before “The Rumored Chen Qianqian” breaks the 100 million mark.
Although the current playback clicks of "The Rumored Chen Qianqian" are only 60 million, this 60 million was obtained with Kunlang Video's S-level resources.
After all, Kunlang Video has given all its resources to "The Female Official", and many people are not optimistic about "The Rumored Chen Qianqian".
Yu Xiaoshu’s reverse propaganda is useful, but there are also some people who don’t like it.
But no matter from which aspect, "The Rumored Chen Qianqian" is enough to prove itself with its 13-hour performance.
Fail?
Does not exist.
If at this point there are still people who think that "The Rumored Chen Qianqian" will flop, then they are out of their minds.
"Li Yang is right. Although the rating of The Rumored Chen Qianqian has not yet been released, I think the rating will not be low after reading the comments online."
Cao Xiao also said with admiration: "Teacher Yu is really amazing."
Wang Bao seemed to be in a good mood as well: "I didn't expect that The Rumored Chen Qianqian would have such a good reputation. It seems that I am really old and I really don't understand the things of the younger generation."
The person in the office who was in the worst mood was Wu Zhen.
After all, Wu Zhen was the happiest one in this part. He almost opposed Yu Xiaoshu in every aspect, and even made a bet with Yu Xiaoshu that this web drama would fail.
Last night he also watched "The Rumored Chen Qianqian", but he still couldn't understand why such a crappy web drama had such a great reputation? ?
Is Yu Xiaoshu just lucky? ?
If it were someone from the outside world, they might speculate that "The Rumored Chen Qianqian" might have spent a lot of money on word-of-mouth marketing, but Wu Zhen, as the director of the film and television drama department of Baiqian Media, knew that this web drama did not spend money to buy word of mouth.
The word of mouth is all real.
"Wu Zhen, when Xiao Shu comes, you should apologize sincerely."
Wang Bao said to Wu Zhen, "Put away your bad temper. I will take the initiative to mediate and give Xiao Shu a way out later."
Cao Xiao also said: "Yes, Lao Wu, you did go a bit too far in this matter."
"Lao Wu, Teacher Yu is quite easy to talk to. Teacher Yu said before that he is not a person who holds grudges."
Li Yang said to Wu Zhen, "Everyone wants to do something, so we should put aside our prejudices. If you are wrong, you are wrong. You must sincerely apologize to Teacher Yu later."
"I know."
Wu Zhen nodded gently: "I will apologize to Teacher Yu. I was wrong about this matter, but I reserve my opinion. He really shouldn't care too much. He..."
"Wu Zhen."
Wang Bao was a little angry: "Did I just say that in vain?"
"Mr. Wang, don't be angry. I won't say that again. I will definitely apologize to him and admit my mistake."
Although Wu Zhen was still a little angry, he quickly spoke when he saw that Wang Bao was angry.
In Wu Zhen's opinion, with Wang Bao around, he could at most apologize, just like Wang Bao said, to give Yu Xiaoshu a way out.
Just at this moment, Yu Xiaoshu pushed the door open.
"Boss Wang, you're looking for me?"
Yu Xiaoshu said, looking at Li Yang and Cao Xiao, "You are here too."
"Xiaoshu, sit down."
Wang Bao said with a smile: "I was wrong this time. It seems that it is a little difficult for "The Rumored Chen Qianqian" to become a phenomenal hit, but it is certain to be a hit."
"Yes, Mr. Yu, Kunlang Video just called me and said they are going to increase the promotion of "The Rumored Chen Qianqian"."
Li Yang said on the side: "Obviously, the results of "The Rumored Chen Qianqian" scared them."
Cao Xiao also laughed: "Now let's see the ratings of The Rumored Chen Qianqian at 8 o'clock tonight."
Yu Xiaoshu thinks the ratings for the first five episodes will be fine.
The real problems will come later.
But Yu Xiaoshu felt that the entire drama did not need major changes.
Because it is only real when Chen Xiaoqian makes mistakes. After all, the character of Chen Xiaoqian in this drama is just a person with little social experience.
Of course, this is a problem that comes later.
At the very least, there is no problem with "The Rumored Chen Qianqian" for now.
A good start.
The atmosphere in the room is quite good.
Except for Wu Zhen who remained silent the entire time.
"Xiao Shu, Wu Zhen didn't know you well before, and there were some misunderstandings between you and him, so please give Uncle Wang some face."
Wang Bao coughed a few times and said to Yu Xiaoshu, "Wu Zhen just realized his mistake. Today, I will ask him to apologize to you again in front of me."
After saying that, Wang Bao said to Wu Zhen: "Wu Zhen, you should apologize to Xiao Shu yourself."
"Teacher Yu, I'm sorry. I acted a little impulsively. I apologize to you."
Wu Zhen stood up and said, "I admit that I was wrong. The Rumored Chen Qianqian did not flop. I apologize to you, although..."
"Okay."
Wang Bao knew that Wu Zhen was going to say something unpleasant next, so he interrupted him quickly: "Xiao Shu, look..."
"Haha, Uncle Wang, how big of a deal is this?"
Yu Xiaoshu shook his head and laughed: "Everyone is doing this for work, I can understand, and it's not hatred, so I won't hold on to it."
These words made Wang Bao feel relieved.
Li Yang and Cao Xiao both breathed a sigh of relief.
After all, no matter what, Wu Zhen is their partner in Baiqian Media, and everyone has the same goal.
It seems now.
Teacher Yu really is just as the rumors say, and he never holds grudges.
Wu Zhen was not surprised.
He didn't believe that Yu Xiaoshu would not give Wang Bao face, so he also smiled at this time: "Teacher Yu, don't worry, I will pay attention to the way I work in the future..."
"Oh, no."
Yu Xiaoshu's next words froze the smile on Wu Zhen's face.
"There is no future."
Yu Xiaoshu also said with a smile.
"What??"
Wu Zhen thought for a moment that he had misheard.
Even Wang Bao was a little surprised: "Xiao Shu, this..."
"Boss Wang, I believe friendship is friendship and work is work."
Yu Xiaoshu said to Wang Bao, "I have no problem with Manager Wu, but I think since we have said it, we must abide by it. Otherwise, how will people in the company view us?"
Having said this, Yu Xiaoshu turned to look at Wu Zhen and said, "You are right, Manager Wu."
"I…"
Wu Zhen was a little panicked for a moment.
Yes.
At this time he was really panicked.
How can this be played for real???
"Xiaoshu, let's talk in private later..."
Wang Bao wanted to say something to Yu Xiaoshu at this time.
"Mr. Wang, that's not necessary."
Yu Xiaoshu said, "I have just told the HR department that Manager Wu can just go and handle the resignation procedures. One thing is one thing, and I still hope that Manager Wu can find a better job in another company."
If Yu Xiaoshu didn't want to convince others, he would have fired Wu Zhen the first time he contradicted him.
After all, for Yu Xiaoshu, there was really no pressure at all to fire Wu Zhen.
He believed that Wang Bao would not fail to give him this face.
But Wu Zhen still wanted to be tough and make such a stupid bet.
He could understand Wu Zhen's thoughts. He just wanted to make this known to everyone and make himself appear to be a loyal employee of the company. Then Yu Xiaoshu would have to think twice before firing him.
Hehe.
Smart enough.
For Yu Xiaoshu, these few days don't matter.
Now that the data of "The Rumored Chen Qianqian" has come out today, the time has come.
Let’s not talk about Wang Bao’s intercession today. Even if it was Liu Qianqian, or even if Wang Bao brought up Zou Jun, it would be useless.
Yu Xiaoshu would definitely not use someone like Wu Zhen, who has little ability, a bad temper, and not much sense.
He is not good at anything and is the best at arguing.
What's the use of him?
So...Wu Zhen must go.
I said.
No matter who comes, it won't work.
After Yu Xiaoshu left Wang Bao's office, Wang Bao and his friends felt helpless for a moment.
"Wu Zhen, I will write you a letter of recommendation."
Wang Bao took a deep breath and said to Wu Zhen: "The general manager of Kunlun Film and Television is my good friend. You can go over there and take a look."
Wu Zhen said: "Thank you, Mr. Wang."
"No need to thank me. I originally wanted to start a business with you at Baiqian Media."
Wang Bao sighed and said, "But you must change your temper. Don't be like this when you get to Kunlun."
"Yes, Lao Wu, Li Yang and I have advised you so many times before, but you just wouldn't listen."
Cao Xiao complained, "You insisted on making it so that Teacher Yu and I couldn't get along. Now that's good."
"Hey, Lao Wu, if you really go to work in Kunlun, you have to control your temper."
Li Yang also advised.
"Don't worry, I understand. I just didn't expect Yu Xiaoshu to be so narrow-minded."
Wu Zhen said angrily, "You two should take care of yourselves. I'm worried that Yu Xiaoshu might use you two as a scapegoat. And Mr. Wang, you should also be careful of Yu Xiaoshu. He doesn't even give you face, which shows how arrogant he will be in the future."
Good job.
Wu Zhen didn't forget to cause trouble before leaving.
Five minutes later, the entire Baiqian Media knew about it.
"Oh my god, Manager Wu really resigned?"
"It's not resignation, it's dismissal. I heard that Manager Wu apologized to Teacher Yu, but Teacher Yu didn't forgive him."
"Is that so? Isn't it said that Teacher Yu is generous and doesn't bear grudges?"
"Who said that? In my opinion, Teacher Yu is the most vindictive."
"Hey, if you ask me, Wu Zhen deserves it. He was the one who made the bet with Teacher Yu. He lost. If he had won, would he have asked Teacher Yu not to apologize?"
"That's right. I think Teacher Yu is right. Wu Zhen was so arrogant before. He even slammed the table in front of Teacher Yu."
…
The private discussions among Baiqian Media employees are relatively normal.
After all, the one who teases first is the cheapest.
It was all Wu Zhen's own fault.
Kunlang Video.
"Give SSS-level publicity resources to "The Rumored Chen Qianqian"."
The head of the production department said to Wang Jun, "At present, "The Rumored Chen Qianqian" has great potential. I have already told the publicity department. You can talk to them later."
Wang Jun said, "Okay, Boss, I'll be right there."
"Well, let's wait for the ratings of The Rumored Chen Qianqian tonight and then watch it."
The head of the production department nodded slightly and said, "If the reputation is 7 points, then..."
Not much was said, but Wang Jun understood.
If the reputation of "The Rumored Chen Qianqian" also catches up, Kunlang Video will further increase its resources for promotion.
Of course, now we just have to wait for the ratings of “The Lady Official” to come out.
Currently, the number of views of "Female Official" on Kunlang Video has exceeded 100 million.
Although I didn’t log into Kunlang Video until 10 o’clock, but with the huge publicity of Kunlang Video and the cast of this drama, it’s no surprise that it broke 100 million.
You know, with the joint promotion of Kunlang and Dongyi, and the all-star cast of "The Lady Official", if this movie doesn't break the 100 million mark, it will be a real flop.
For this reason, the promotion of "The Lady Official" must not stop.
We are currently waiting for the ratings of "The Lady Official". After all, the reviews of "The Lady Official" online are a bit polarized.
So, we need to wait for the ratings to come out.
Kunlang Video needs to wait for the ratings of "The Female Official" on Douhu to come out before considering it.
After all, the ratings for TV series are released at 12 noon.
As a web drama, "The Rumored Chen Qianqian" needs 24 hours, that is, 8 o'clock in the evening, to release the ratings.
So, at noon today, many people were waiting for the ratings of "The Lady Official" to be released.
“Although the age of the actors in ‘Lady Officials’ is somewhat inconsistent, I think the rating of this drama will not be lower than 7 points.”
"That's right. First of all, the plot of "Female Official" is quite innovative. Secondly, there is no problem with the acting skills of Mu Lefeng, Feng Cheng and others."
"I agree with this as well. I think the rating of this TV series will not be lower than 8 points."
"Why don't you just say 9 points?"
…
People are discussing it online while waiting for the ratings.
Without a rating, any other discussion is meaningless.
After all, the rating is the only way to judge the potential of "The Lady Official".
Of course, besides the ratings, there is the viewership ratings.
The premiere of "No Tales" had a viewership rating of over 3 and a score of over 8. What kind of results will "The Lady Airfold" which is the successor to "No Tales" have?
As a highly anticipated film with such a strong production lineup, "The Lady Official" has attracted attention from many parties.
At 12 o'clock, the ratings of "The Lady Official" were released.
All the articles prepared by various media have been sent out, and everyone is scrambling to get them out first.
"The premiere of 'Female Officials' had a viewership rating of over 4, once again breaking the record of Star City TV. At the same time, the Douhu rating was as high as 8.9 points, just one step away from 9 points."
"The ratings and reputation of "Female Officials" have exploded. As a drama that Mu Lefeng values the most, it did not disappoint the audience."
“‘The Lady’ had a great start, but it is still unknown whether the follow-up will have the same high start and low end as ‘Dead Men Tell No Tales’.”
…
All major media outlets reported on the event.
Even though "The Female Official" was ridiculed by many people, it still scored 8.9 points on Douhu.
You should know that there are no more than 10 TV series and movies with a Douhu score of 9 every year. It can be said that as long as it reaches 9 points, it is a great drama.
At present, "The Female Official" is only one step away from becoming a masterpiece.
Star City, Hotel.
"Xiao Feng, word of mouth has exploded."
Ding Hong said excitedly: "The first score is as high as 8.9 points. If the plot gets better, it will directly break 9 points."
Mu Lefeng laughed: "Talk to the company and ask them to increase the publicity. Isn't Han Dan's drama going to be aired in the middle of the month? I want to beat her this time."
"Don't worry, I've already told the company. And Han Dan's urban drama is said to be not very good. Among all the major satellite TV stations, only Shanghai is willing to buy it. Other satellite TV stations are not optimistic about it."
Ding Hong laughed and said, "May is definitely your month."
"kindness."
Mu Lefeng nodded slightly.
Neither of them took "The Rumored Chen Qianqian" seriously. After all, in their opinion, how high can "The Rumored Chen Qianqian" go? ?
The miracle of "The Undocumented Crime" can never be repeated in the drama "The Rumored Chen Qianqian".
…
“It actually has a score of 8.9?”
Yu Xiaoshu did not go to eat. He was in the office looking at the rating of "The Female Official" in surprise.
In Yu Xiaoshu's opinion, if we only look at the script, the score of 8.9 is not an exaggeration, because the scripts for the first two episodes are quite good.
But the actors are discordant.
Originally, Yu Xiaoshu thought that a score of 8 would be good for "The Female Official".
But Yu Xiaoshu still underestimated the audience's tolerance.
"Come in."
Just then there was a knock on the door and Yu Xiaoshu spoke.
Wang Bao.
"Let's go, let's go eat together."
Wang Bao pushed the door open and said with a smile.
"Okay, I'm just about to go eat."
Yu Xiaoshu also stood up and said with a smile.
"Have you seen the ratings for 'The Lady Officer'?"
Wang Bao and Yu Xiaoshu walked towards the cafeteria together while talking.
"Well, I saw it, and it was a bit surprising."
Yu Xiaoshu nodded gently and said, "The ratings are not surprising. On the one hand, the publicity for "Female Officials" is huge, and on the other hand, the cast of this drama is here. But the ratings, I think, are a bit inflated."
"I thought the same as you did."
Wang Bao laughed and said, "I also think this rating is a bit inflated, but maybe the first wave of viewers gave it friendship points. It will depend on the second wave of viewers and the subsequent plot of "The Lady Official"."
Yu Xiaoshu said: "It's like this. If he reaches 30 years old as soon as possible, it would be better. If the next plot is still about going to the battlefield at the age of 16, then I'm afraid there will be bad reviews."
At this point, Yu Xiaoshu smiled and said, "If this is the case, it would be good. Then it would be easier for "The Rumored Chen Qianqian" to be sniped."
Now the two sides are opponents.
Yu Xiaoshu would not have any regrets, he would just wait for the other party to make a mistake.
Arriving at the cafeteria, the two of them prepared their meals and sat down. Wang Bao said to Yu Xiaoshu, "Wu Zhen has just completed his resignation procedures and left."
"kindness."
Yu Xiaoshu smiled and said, "Uncle Wang, you won't blame me, will you?"
"Won't."
Wang Bao shook his head and said, "This Wu Zhen is a bit stubborn. I've thought about it carefully today. If he really were in the company, I'm afraid he would have a conflict with you. After all, he has a very stubborn temper."
Two people with stubborn tempers are really not suitable to work together.
"Uncle Wang, you still misunderstood me."
Yu Xiaoshu smiled and said, "If Wu Zhen just has a bad temper, it would be fine. I told you before that Wu Zhen's biggest problem is not his temper. He is not capable, but he feels that his talent is not appreciated. Such a person will not be successful no matter where he goes."
At this point, Yu Xiaoshu paused and said, "Uncle Wang, please don't introduce any company to him. I'm worried that he won't stay long even if you introduce him, and he might even cheat you later."
"ah??"
Although Wang Bao felt that Yu Xiaoshu might still be prejudiced against Wu Zhen, he still said, "Okay, I won't introduce him."
Yu Xiaoshu said, "That's good."
"Xiaoshu, what are you going to do next?"
Wang Bao changed the subject and asked.
"We will strive to wrap up "The Rumored Chen Qianqian" as soon as possible, and we at Baiqian Media will still promote this drama as much as possible."
Yu Xiaoshu said slowly, "Also, the launch of Hard Candy is coming soon. We'll see if this web drama is exclusive or not."
Wang Bao frowned and said, "Can the filming of "Hard Candy" be completed this month?"
"Of course not."
Yu Xiaoshu shook his head and said, "It has to be June 1st anyway."
Wang Bao: “???”
What is the difference between this month?
First there was "The Rumored Chen Qianqian", and then there was "Hard Candy". The efficiency of this web drama and web movie is so high.
Next, Wang Bao gave Yu Xiaoshu some instructions, such as he must strictly control the quality and not rush the construction.
In the end, Wang Bao felt that what he said was all nonsense.
How could these Yu Xiaoshu not know? ?
After dinner, Yu Xiaoshu did not return to the coffee shop. Instead, he went to the coffee shop on the first floor.
Half an hour later, Gu Tianqi arrived again, panting.
"Teacher Yu, is there anything else I need to report?"
After sitting down, Gu Tianqi couldn't wait to ask Yu Xiaoshu.
"I read your manuscript last night. It's very well written."
Yu Xiaoshu said to Gu Tianqi: "But there is one thing missing."
"kindness??"
Gu Tianqi hurriedly took out a notebook and a pen and said, "Teacher Yu, go ahead."
"The two web dramas, The Rumored Chen Qianqian and The Lady Official, have many similarities. The reason your last interview was so popular is that we used The Lady Official as a target."
Yu Xiaoshu smiled and said, "But the article you wrote last night was all analysis of The Rumored Chen Qianqian. This is what drama critics like to read, and you are a reporter, an entertainment reporter, what you need to do is to write something that attracts attention and creates a topic of discussion."
Seeing that Gu Tianqi still didn't understand, Yu Xiaoshu had to continue to remind her, "Girlishness, this word can be further explored. Why can Bao Nan play Chen Qianqian without any disobedience, but Mu Lefeng can't? And in your last article, I said that actors should find the one that suits them. Since this is a series, then keep writing."
One hour later, Gu Tianqi left the cafe excitedly.
Gu Tianqi felt that this article would have over 100,000 views again.
Even Gu Tianqi is not planning to wait for the ratings of "The Rumored Chen Qianqian" to come out.
At 8 o'clock in the evening, when the third episode of "The Female Official" had already begun, some people were more concerned about the ratings of "The Rumored Chen Qianqian".
At the same time, Yu Xiaoshu at home was also a little surprised when looking at the ratings.
8.3 points.
This rating was a bit beyond Yu Xiaoshu's expectations.
