After the easter egg ended, it seemed that Zhou Yiyang remembered the reason why he made this movie, and belatedly added a promotion for the First Film Festival at the end of the film.
"No way?" A boy took off his headphones and glanced at the time in the lower right corner. It turned out that he had almost spent two hours in the Internet cafe?
Who would have thought that his original plan was to come to the Internet cafe to play games, and then take some time to watch a short film.
As time went by, I realized that time had passed by unknowingly.
When he came to his senses, he realized that he had been watching the movie for nearly two hours.
At this time, the older brother sitting next to him smiled and said, "Brother, what's the name of your movie? It's really good! I'll recommend it to my girlfriend later!"
Wang Hao frowned helplessly: "Are you watching too?"
The other person nodded cheerfully, "I just noticed someone was watching a movie in the internet cafe next to me. I thought it was quite unusual, didn't I? Then I watched it for a while and got really hooked!"
"Oh, oh, oh," Wang Hao said, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. Although he didn't have time to play games, he knew in his heart that spending these two hours watching this movie was actually much more cost-effective than playing games. "This movie is called 'Dinner Party Murder Case.' It's streaming online, not in theaters. If you have a Moonlight membership, you can watch it for free."
The man nodded as if suddenly understanding something. "I see, it's an online movie! I used to think these kinds of movies were all scams, but I didn't expect the quality to be so high!"
There are many people like Wang Hao. After all, Moonlight is now one of the most active streaming media software in China, and countless people open it every day.
As long as you open the software, you will receive a pop-up window.
Most people would click to take a look. After all, something that Zhou Yiyang spends a lot of money to promote must be of guaranteed quality.
This is also proven to be the case. After the movie ended, there were more and more discussions about it.
Strawberry Duoduo happened to be browsing Douban at work. When he clicked on it, he saw that the homepage was full of discussions about this promotional video.
"With this level of discussion, I feel that the movies released during the Spring Festival are not so exaggerated!" Strawberry Duoduo laughed. She had just finished watching the movie and even had the urge to write a long article to recommend it.
"Isn't that perfectly normal?" A colleague nearby laughed. "Think about a time when a promotional video wasn't a big hit. If I were to ask you, Mr. Zhou, you might as well just release this movie in theaters. There's bound to be a lot more people watching it!"
Strawberry on the side smiled, but also felt that what the other party said made sense: "I looked around, and there are quite a lot of people who support your statement."
As expected, someone said this on the homepage and gave various examples to support their point of view.
"It easily surpassed 10 million views within two hours of going online, and over 10 million discussions were made on Weibo and Douyin. This popularity is even higher than several Spring Festival movies."
The poster used numerous examples, sounding like a devoted fan of Zhou Yiyang's career: "I really don't understand why Mr. Zhou didn't release this movie during the Spring Festival! I know many people would say this genre isn't suitable for the family-friendly Spring Festival period. But with so many people going to the movies during the Spring Festival, there will always be people who buy tickets to see their favorite films, right?"
At this time, Strawberry Duoduo looked up at the chairman's office on the top floor. In fact, she also wanted to know what Zhou Yiyang was thinking now.
As a person who really likes to read comments and messages online, Zhou Yiyang couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth and smile when he saw the discussions about him.
He discovered that he actually had a fan, and this person really wanted to see him make a lot of money.
Zhou Yiyang was quite happy at the thought. On Weibo, someone also analyzed that this movie should be released during the Spring Festival. Zhou Yiyang glanced at the content and realized it was probably the same person as the one on Douban.
However, since this person mentioned him by name, Zhou Yiyang also responded directly:
"Thank you for your analysis and support. However, this film was originally made for film festival promotion, so it's naturally impossible to put it in the Spring Festival period."
"Many people think that online movies are bad and rubbish, but I don't think so. There are some movies that are not suitable for theaters, and I think it might be better to release them online."
Zhou Yiyang's answer wasn't a lie. Although he had leveraged Ning Mang's connections to get this bloody, violent thriller released, there were still significant restrictions on its promotion, and it was even more likely to be reported by parents of children who had mistakenly entered the theater.
Just like web dramas, before Zhou Yiyang started filming, web dramas were just a way to make money.
But nowadays, many young people have abandoned TV series and chosen online dramas with richer themes.
Moreover, Zhou Yiyang is still very optimistic about the future prospects of online dramas and online movies. After all, most TVs nowadays are smart, which can be used to watch these.
Thinking of this, Zhou Yiyang was in a pretty good mood.
Zhou Yiyang's reply was also very popular. After all, online movies are free for members, and non-members can watch them for six yuan. However, a single ticket for a movie in a theater costs dozens of yuan.
In comparison, if more high-quality online movies appear in the future, they can save a lot of money.
After a while, Zhou Yiyang discovered that the number of people praising him on Douyin increased a lot, and the number of views of "Dinner Party Murder Case" increased significantly.
When Zhou Yiyang turned off the video and was about to watch something else, Ning Mang called.
