China Entertainment: Let you shoot for charity and make tens of billions?

After the three episodes were aired, even though it was already very late, online media had already started reporting on it. After all, this was not a live broadcast but on-demand.

A large number of netizens are also discussing the plot.

For a while, poetic and picturesque scenes and the Battle of Shanghai almost filled the hot searches.

"What islanders feel when watching the Battle of Shanghai!"

"The Island Singer performs "I Remember the Attachment in Your Eyes"!"

"Director Su Yi not only has great filming skills, but also has very creative song choices!"

"Director Su Yi once again staged a tear-jerking plot. Hollywood film critics said that Director Su Yi is still good at works with patriotic elements! This is also one of the reasons why it is difficult for Hollywood to admit it——"

This reposted post quickly became a hot topic because netizens had no time to deal with these people.

Now some of the things reported by the Star-Flag Country media are no longer even authoritative.

Especially for the Dragon people.

The CNN incident is far more than just a superficial victory. It is very important to Longguo because they all think it is a bit too ridiculous.

I never thought that a country with strong economic and military power could lie and spread rumors like this.

Now in the mainstream public opinion and online discussions in the country, people are very disdainful and even do not believe the news from the Star-Flag Country.

Not to mention ordinary people in Dragon Country, even the people in Star Flag Country felt very disappointed.

They are even investigating some previous smear campaign news. They think that many things are nonsense. Before, Dragon Country had no say in Star Flag Country, and the Internet was not so developed at that time, so many demonized news were just smear campaigns!

The people of the Star Flag Country also have great doubts about this matter.

Some of the smearing influences from the West and North America in the past are also being gradually eliminated.

This is the power of publicity!

In the past, even in Su Yi's era, if something happened and was discredited by the BBC or CNN, Longguo would often even allow international reporters to come and re-film the entire incident to clarify it.

A lot of the expenses and hard work of the staff are wasted.

Now with an authority like Su Yi, things are much more convenient.

This is the benefit of making documentaries, especially after both documentaries were nominated by the Oscars and the BBC respectively. Although it was the two parties who were competing with each other, the one who benefited was Su Yi.

Therefore, some of their remarks cannot even become trending searches in China.

It was able to be online briefly before, but it was still some internet trolls pushing up the post.

Most of them were discussing the plot.

"As expected of Director Su Yi, I didn't dare to watch it before, but after watching it, I didn't feel uncomfortable at all. I was only moved and felt tragic."

"Yes, this is a TV show - but if it's all free, won't we lose money?"

"We've invested 1 billion, and there are still three episodes to be filmed. The key is that so many TV series are released at once, what if they are all free?"

"Impossible! This is a platform similar to Netflix, and the fees will only get higher and higher! But the first batch of users will get a permanent ad-free subscription for 15 yuan! Haha, if you don't have multiple requests, it's like getting 15 yuan free every month for life!"

"It's amazing on the phone, the latest model of TV is great! Ultra-clear resolution, the producer is like a home theater, I bought a 65-inch one, it's great!"

In 2015, large-screen televisions had already appeared.

However, due to the size limitation of the house, bigger is not necessarily better.

However, this ultra-clear effect shocked many viewers.

The playback of the linked server is not stuck at all, whether it is the home WiFi or mobile phone signal, it can be played very smoothly.

When "Parasite" was removed from the shelves, Longguo's condition in exchange was some network technology.

Since 2007, there have been large-scale fee reductions and speed increases, so there is no need to worry about Internet fees.

This is also one of the important reasons why Su Yi launched the new platform. If the picture is compressed due to the Internet speed, the effect will be greatly reduced.

Fortunately, everything is ready, so it became a hit once it was launched.

"The experience is great. I opened a restaurant and bought the most expensive membership for 60 a month, which allows me to use it on 6 terminals! I use it in all halls and private rooms. There were not many people on non-holiday days, but yesterday the turnover of drinks was more than 5000!"

"Haha, it can have such an effect, but I have to say that you are a person with business acumen!"

Many popular posts touched the hearts of netizens.

Some people are unwilling to apply for membership, or prefer to discuss the plot with friends.

If there is a comfortable environment and services are provided, what does this membership fee mean?
New business opportunities have emerged!
"Yes, I'm a student and don't have much money. I bought it with my classmates. Only one end can be used. It's troublesome to verify separately. I hope some cold drink shops can also provide such services!"

When Liu Shishi saw these posts, she didn't feel any sense of crisis.

Because not all people like to watch TV series outside.

And the fact that there are so many discussion posts also shows that many people like it.

Now we should seize the time and shoot all the previous projects.

Fortunately, when Su Yi was filming a movie before, as long as it was a large investment, he would build a film and television base.

Various film and television bases are usually used as tourist destinations.

We also rent it when there is a shooting task, and the price is not low.

So the prices are sky-high every day, and Liu Shishi still feels some pressure.

Now there is no money to be seen, 15 billion has been spent, although this includes the investment in several other TV series, and Su Yi also said that it doesn’t matter, even if he loses money.

At worst, I can just shoot another movie, and the funds will still come in continuously.

Now the Su Yi Charity Foundation is closely connected with public welfare departments in an all-round way. Su Yi and Liu Shishi are not the main sources of donations, so they still have a lot of funds in their hands.

Of course, this does not mean that the charitable foundation will go bankrupt or be left unmanaged.

The state will allocate a portion of the money, and with donations from all walks of life, there should be no problem in maintaining it.

Without this part of the expense, the two of them can invest without any burden.

In Su Yi's words, even if the final platform does not make money, the leasing of those film and television bases will be profitable enough.

Even with such support, Liu Shishi was still nervous.

"The statistics are ready! Mr. Liu!"

The deputy general manager came running over in a hurry. She was usually serious, but there was sweat on her face.

The reason why this data has been collected for such a long time is not only a matter of membership rate, but also various detailed data, such as whether the audience's continuous viewing time has changed from the first episode to the last episode, etc.

It has only been counted for a few hours. Because it is the premiere and the first TV series, most people are working overtime to count.

The database is so huge that Liu Shishi has mixed feelings. On the one hand, she knows that the more complex the data is, the better. On the other hand, she also wants to know the data quickly.

"From the time the film was released to now, it has been 24 hours in total. The number of registered members has increased to 1.05 million!"

Data in billions!
Liu Shishi couldn't help but be a little shocked. The previous budget was 7000 million+, because this was their estimate, and only with this growth rate could they continue to invest.

Now, including the previous 2000 million users, the number of registered users has directly increased to 1.25 million!
The current market structure is that Youku, iQiyi and Tencent Video are the top three.

At the time, the general manager of iQiyi also said that filming movies and building a video platform are two completely different things. If possible, they would not invest in Shiqinghuayi, but if Su Yi could cooperate with them to shoot web series, TV series, and movies, they would sign a contract at a price higher than the market price.

That's basically the excuse.

Because what is Su Yi's identity? Can he sign a contract with them?

So this is a polite refusal to cooperate, and there is no possibility of any cooperation on the video platform at all.

But iQiyi does have this ability, because their membership has increased significantly. Due to the rise of online dramas, they have tasted the sweetness, and the number of members has soared to 3 million!
Youku was the leader before, but it only had 3.7 million users, which is still absorbing a lot of online platforms.

They have gone through a long period of development to reach this scale, so naturally they don’t want to give a piece of the pie to others now.

It is generally impossible to expect so many people to spend money to support just one work!

Moreover, the software has just started, and it is hard to say whether it can take off.

But no one expected that the number of users would increase by 100 million!

How many people are there in Dragon Country?
Excluding those who have no purchasing power, there are only about 5 million consumers.

Many of them are low spenders, meaning they only spent money online once, or a very small amount of money.

In other words, iQiyi's online dramas are relatively new and have attracted a lot of new users, while the number of other online video platforms is even decreasing!
In this situation, can you, Su Yi, handle it?

The CEO of iQiyi is right in his opinion. Liu Shishi and Su Yi are already mentally prepared.

But faced with this huge number of new users, Liu Shishi was shocked.

"Is there anything wrong? So many new users?"

"The data continues to rise, but we only captured data within 24 hours."

In one day, the number of users increased by more than 1 million!
Liu Shishi continued reading.

"Almost 3000 million people bought a membership for 15 yuan? Shouldn't it be free?"

Liu Shishi did not expect this, because registered membership is a must, otherwise there is no way to watch it for free.

But there are still 3000 million paying users!
What is this concept?
And it’s only the lowest level membership at 15 yuan!

"Those who buy 30 memberships will pay about 1500 million, while those who buy 60 memberships will pay about 900 million."

15 yuan membership means 4.5 million people!
A membership of 30 yuan is 4.5 million!
The top membership for 60 yuan is 5.4 million!
14.4 billion!
Seeing Liu Shishi's incredulous look, the deputy general manager also laughed, because when she first saw the data, she even sat down on the ground.

Although this is already the global membership volume, the proportion of overseas members is also not small.

But remember, it’s free!
“We can’t allow the platform to have a downtime, otherwise the consumer enthusiasm will disappear!”

After Liu Shishi paused for a moment, he gave the order directly.

However, how can we continue shooting such a large-scale work without several months?

"Some web drama directors can be quicker with their small-budget investments. Some even adopt a weekly shooting model."

"The weekly shooting model is acceptable and I think it's feasible! I think some of the scripts Director Su gave me before are all good."

The deputy general manager nodded immediately.

Liu Shishi frowned.

"You have to know that Director Su is my boyfriend and the pillar of this company. There are many things that Director Su is not convenient to speak up about. I don't need to explain too much about his identity."

This deputy general manager is also a woman, and she was previously the deputy general manager of a video company. Because she was always marginalized, but she is actually quite talented, she was chosen by Liu Shishi to be the deputy general manager.

However, before every company meeting and decision, the deputy general manager didn't know whether it was unintentional or out of dissatisfaction, but always felt that she was a little bit out of place in her mentality and was not very polite to Su Yi.

Although there were no insults or sarcasm, the attitude was a bit cold.

Logically speaking, almost everyone in the company is a fan of Su Yi, and the success of this TV series has made them even more convinced of this point.

However, the deputy general manager acted like he was treating Su Yi like a beast of burden, which naturally made Liu Shishi a little unhappy.

"Boss Liu, I also know Director Su's identity, so I deliberately distanced myself from him. Because I have to accept some interviews every day, and Director Su is an official in the system, so he must not get involved in the company's affairs. Maybe I'm a little too nosy. I think if Director Su wants to run the company well, he should stay away from the company's senior management."

What the deputy general manager said is correct.

Su Yi also said something similar, but Liu Shishi didn't want to tell anyone else about this communication between the two of them.

"Even... we can't get married for the time being. It's a bit cruel, but there's nothing we can do."

The deputy general manager hesitated. They were all women, and they all knew the difficulties women have. The flowery age is so short.

Liu Shishi is younger than Su Yi, but not more than ten years younger.

If you are not married, it is really easy for accidents to happen.

But it should be clear that many women want to have a financial support when they get married in order to feel at ease, because in this era, maybe there may be no love, but money is a must.

If it were someone else, they would feel sorry for Liu Shishi and think she was stupid. It always feels dangerous that she hasn't confirmed her marriage yet.

There are so many women in the entertainment industry now. If a young and beautiful 18-year-old girl really comes along,

It's easy to lose your current position.

However, Su Yi almost emptied his family fortune for the sake of Shiqinghuayi Company.

This is enviable, and many people posted on the Internet that this is Su Yi's greatest sincerity.

He gave all the decision-making power over poetry and painting to Liu Shishi, and acted like a "cow or horse" himself.

And the name of this company is Poetic and Picturesque.

This love has touched the hearts of so many people.

"Shi Shi, she's right - the door was not closed just now, and I came in. The TV series that were previously approved cannot be released in a short period of time. I think some scripts with small investments can be invested in first!"

Su Yi's voice came from the door.

"Senior?"

Liu Shishi stood up happily because yesterday's results were so amazing.

"Thank you for your understanding, Director Su. I am doing this for the good of the company."

The deputy general manager also gave an explanation.

"Nothing, you did the right thing and should be rewarded, but the script this time is urgent and investment is necessary."

When the other party saw the script in Su Yi's hand, he had an idea.

"I am a Detective?"

The scope of this topic is too broad! (End of this chapter)
