Even Zhang Wenbing and Li Songbai came over after get off work.
This shows how much importance is attached to Li Dongyang.
This is Li Dongyang's first web series, and they came here to cheer him on.
It would have been better if he hadn't come; his arrival only made Li Dongyang more nervous.
Li Songbai sat in his seat, tapping rhythmically with two fingers.
Zhang Wenbing sat opposite him.
The situation was quite amusing; Cai Cai and Li Dongyang were caught in a dilemma, unsure whether to sit or stand.
"Don't worry, the publicity department of Chaofan has already put up the promotional materials yesterday, and also on the official Weibo and short video platforms."
"We also implemented targeted traffic delivery."
Zhang Wenbing and Li Songbai exchanged a glance.
The two of them knew exactly what was going on.
They just wanted to come and give them a little encouragement, but they didn't expect the atmosphere to become so tense.
He stood up and said to Li Dongyang and Qu Hengsheng, "The world belongs to you young people. We just came to see you and cheer you on."
He then took a bottle of Red Bull from his briefcase and placed it on the table.
It symbolizes prosperity and good fortune.
Although it's a bit superstitious, I still hope for a good omen.
To be honest, Zhang Wenbing and Li Songbai are under a lot of pressure.
The company wasn't really supportive of hiring another new web series crew this time.
After all, personnel expenses are not a small amount.
If one can become an overnight sensation, then everyone will be happy.
If they don't achieve good results, the two of them will definitely be at the forefront, since the company has shareholders in addition to them as senior executives.
Extraordinary reputation has always been excellent.
What they released was not just a short drama, but also the company's reputation.
Even the two veteran workers couldn't help but feel extremely panicked.
"Since we're just sitting around doing nothing, why don't we estimate how many views we can get for this episode?"
To ease the tension, Zhang Wenbing spoke up.
Qu Hengsheng and Li Dongyang exchanged a glance.
There was no sound.
Cai Cai answered first: "500,000."
After all, their best performance before was only 500,000.
Li Songbai continued to tap the table rhythmically.
If a single episode can get 500,000 views, that would be pretty good.
After all, one IP address equals one click.
500,000 clicks equates to 500,000 IP addresses, which is already a massive number.
Moreover, each episode needs to be watched at least one-third of the time to be considered a valid click.
Therefore, the 500,000 that Cai Cai mentioned is not a small amount.
Of course, some production teams hire online trolls to manipulate votes in order to boost their numbers. If they're lucky enough not to get caught, that's fine, but if they do get caught, they can be fined hundreds of millions of yuan.
If you use underhanded tactics to harm your opponent and get caught, you could go to jail.
Their previous works will also be completely removed from the website, so they don't need to worry at all that Wang Jiansheng will use this method to target them.
At most, they'll be scheduled for the same period.
He's too smart to do something like trying to steal a chicken and losing the rice instead.
In addition, major websites are cracking down on vote-rigging by online trolls, so viewership ratings now depend entirely on actual performance.
Whether this show is good or not depends entirely on the audience's opinion.
According to exceptional minimum standards.
Cai Cai's assessment was a bit low.
Previously, each episode of Wang Jiansheng's short drama series had consistently garnered at least 2 million views after its release.
According to the requirements of the web series.
For a series of 5 episodes, it would need to reach 5 million views to be considered acceptable.
10 million clicks means the data is decent.
If it reaches 50 million, it means the show has become a hit.
If the number of views exceeds 100 million, this is called becoming an instant hit.
They wouldn't even dare to dream of a hit drama with billions of views.
Of course, for a newcomer like Li Dongyang to be able to generate 10 million data points, Zhang Wenbing must be very proud.
After all, this was the first time this kid had formally written a script.
"I don't have high requirements for you, as long as you pass the test."
Without Wang Jiansheng's time-travel dramas, perhaps Li Dongyang's urban dramas would have been more successful.
"Forget it, we two old bones should go first."
"Otherwise, seeing you all standing here, not knowing whether to stand or sit, makes me feel really uncomfortable."
"Old Li, come to my house for a while later."
"I'll ask He Qin to cook two dishes so we can catch up."
Upon hearing Zhang Wenbing's words, two more wrinkles appeared on Li Songbai's usually slender face. "Are you asking me to go catch up with old friends? Or are you just craving a drink and want to use me as a shield?"
Zhang Wenbing chuckled, "This is Dongyang's debut work, what's wrong with having a couple of drinks to celebrate?"
Anyway, I just had a drinking problem.
The two middle-aged men walked along, laughing.
A group of young people were left in the office to wait for the results.
Finally, Li Dongyang got too nervous and decided not to wait any longer, leaving early.
In his words, waiting here would have yielded the same result.
He figured he'd get the same result even if he went back, so he decided not to wait any longer.
Just as Li Dongyang was about to leave, Qu Hengsheng called him back.
“Tell us the truth, kid.”
"If you're not staying here at this crucial moment, is your girlfriend getting impatient waiting at home?"
Then, with a witty remark, "It's so great not being married! One person eats their fill, the whole family isn't hungry?"
Of course, he was just joking.
Everything is done.
The group of people are just here hoping to see the results in advance.
"Alright, if you have something to do, you can leave work early!"
“I’ve already spoken to your sister-in-law. We haven’t been home for two days already, so one more night won’t make a difference.”
Li Dongyang gave Qu Hengsheng an OK sign.
"Okay, I'll head home now."
