China Entertainment: I have been a director since 05

Chapter 454: Gulinazha’s Ascension to God, a new record in domestic and Chinese entertainment, bombards the world!
That afternoon.

An official announcement from iQiyi has instantly made the TV drama market, which was relatively quiet compared to the booming movie market, go crazy!

This is not a quarterly financial report, nor is it an annual report.

It's a thank you letter!

"iQIYI today released its unaudited second quarter financial report ending May 2011, 5. The report shows that iQIYI's total revenue in the second quarter of 8 was 2024 million yuan, of which membership service revenue was 9.7 million yuan, and the monthly average revenue per member (ARM) ushered in explosive growth. The number of members has reached 3.1 million, of which "Beginning" created 789% of the achievement; online advertising service revenue was 1.6 million yuan; content distribution revenue was 1.9 million yuan; and other revenue was 2.1 million yuan.

……

After releasing a large number of diversified high-quality content in "The Beginning", iQiyi's performance was exceptionally outstanding, with its top projects performing well and effectively improving a number of key operating indicators. According to official statistics in April, iQiyi once took the lead in the drama market share.

In the second quarter, full competition in the industry had a positive impact on the development of long videos, increasing their appeal compared to other forms of entertainment. We firmly believe that the key to the long-term development of the long video industry lies in the continuity of high-quality content supply and the win-win situation of content quality and commercial benefits, which is also iQIYI's unchanging pursuit.

In the first half of the year, iQiyi will cooperate with major TV stations to distribute TV series headed by "The Beginning", further strengthening the long-tail effect of high-quality content.

It is worth mentioning that, as a benchmark for reality and suspense themes, The Beginning has an absolute leading advantage on iQiyi and has set a new record for TV series IP licensing revenue. It is another representative masterpiece of win-win content quality and commercial benefits. It has also stimulated a great discussion on kindness in society, aroused a wave of public opinion, and received praise from users, sponsors and government departments, effectively extending the vitality of the IP. With its excellent production, it has thoroughly strengthened iQiyi's benchmark position in suspense themes..."

A letter of thanks.

Thousands of words of content.

The word "beginning" appeared seven times!

Although Gulinazha's name did not appear, everyone in the industry's attention was on her.

This is a new actor.
This was a little Karami who had only a little fame before the TV series was broadcast.

And now, relying on a TV series, iQiyi has completely taken off.

No matter how powerful Guan Ling is, he is still behind the scenes.

However, Guli Nazha has become the fastest rising newcomer in the industry thanks to this TV series.

For many people in the industry,

The long-tail effect of this drama is still continuing. After all, there are a lot of pirated copies now, and anyone with a normal mind can see that. Judging from the popularity of "The Beginning", it can be called the number one TV series in the second quarter, without any problem.

But for the operators of online video websites, they all felt as if they had eaten shit.

The sudden emergence of iQiyi is definitely not a good thing for them.

This official announcement is like a signal gun, clearly showing the opponent how awesome he is!

Before, everyone could only guess based on the popularity, but now the real results are laid out so clearly in front of everyone, and most people are speechless.

……

Tudou Video headquarters, conference room.

Since everyone sat down at their seats for the afternoon meeting, everyone's face had been extremely serious, from Chairman Wang Wei to the various CEOs who entered the room.

"Gong Yu's financial report is quite low-key."

Wang Wei sat on a chair, looked around at everyone, and said softly, "With iQiyi's current level, the description of it being a leader in drama market share is still a bit too low-key."

In fact, most people could guess Wang Wei's mood at the moment, although Wang Wei did not show any emotional fluctuations in the first sentence.

But everyone tried to lower their heads and not look at him.

No one knows whether Wang Wei will suddenly explode in the next second.

"Are you all dumb? You won't speak?"

As expected, Wang Wei was looking forward to communicating, but no one spoke, which made him very angry.

The harsh questioning made many people's arms tremble slightly.

Many copies of iQiyi's financial report have been printed out, and everyone is flipping through the contents.

Each of the numbers above is particularly eye-catching.

Some middle-level managers who were participating in the meeting sat on their chairs and did not dare to speak at all.

"How many tens of thousands is 90%?" Wang Wei suddenly asked.

Vice President Yang couldn't stand the pressure from Wang Wei's behavior, so he responded, "The number of members is about 710 million. The TV series "Beginning" has increased iQiyi's original membership by more than six times."

This result left Wang Wei speechless.

For a moment, the atmosphere in the entire conference room became more tense.

The difficulty of this matter lies in the fact that there is no good solution.

compete?

It would take a popular TV series to compete with it.

But in the Chinese-speaking world today, the most popular person in movies is Guan Ling, and the most popular person in TV dramas is also fucking Guan Ling. It's hard to deal with!
Although many TV series can be compared with Guan Ling's previous TV series "Awakening Age", they are still a level lower in terms of influence.

Guan Ling's plays can attract three generations of people to watch.

"The Ming Dynasty 1566" is for the old and middle-aged, "Dream of Red Mansions" is for the old, middle-aged and young, "The Disguiser" is also for the old, middle-aged and young, "The Awakening Age" is for the middle-aged and young, and although the young account for a larger proportion of "Chinese Paladin III" and "The Beginning", middle-aged people do not completely ignore them.

Especially his movies, which can be linked with his TV series at any time.

Some audiences communicated with each other and asked questions.

"Which TV show is the best right now?"

"Do you know Guan Ling, the filmmaker? A new TV series he wrote has just been aired..."

All in all, it's difficult.

For many behind-the-scenes staff, actors are more popular than directors and screenwriters.

But for Guan Ling, everything was the opposite.

He can make anyone remember his name at will.

And I won’t forget.

This is difficult to do.

The competition is a bit difficult.
At least for now, with Guan Ling's support, iQiyi's takeoff seems unstoppable.

And they have no way out.

Either pay me less and continue to purchase new quality content.

Or skip Guan Ling.

But no matter which of these two points, it is not something to be praised for them.

Instead, it will put endless pressure on them.

Thinking of this, everyone's muscles tensed slightly.

……

Tang people.

Cai Yinong looked reserved when he saw the membership results. Liu Sisi and Brother Hu were beside him.

"Mr. Cai, what is the viewership equivalent to this number of members?"

Brother Hu doesn’t understand online dramas, and neither does Liu Sisi.

“As for the ratings, it’s hard to convert, but the results should be no less than that of The Legend of Sword and Fairy III.” Cai Yinong thought for a moment and gave an answer.

There is no specific quantitative standard for the difference between online dramas and TV dramas. The market share of online dramas at this time will not be mixed into the TV drama market, so it is still difficult to judge.

"She looks just average, but why does it feel like Gulinazha is much more popular than I was before?"

Liu Sisi, who played Zi Xuan at the time, narrowed her eyes and said, "In terms of popularity and volume, Gulinazha is much more popular than I was at the time."

"It's mainly because of the different platforms. The popularity of TV series is naturally not the same as that on the Internet. You know, although the Internet is strictly checked, there are still many pirated copies, and these people can be regarded as the audience who contribute to the discussion of Gulinazha and "The Beginning"."

As soon as these words were spoken, Liu Sisi felt horrified.

In other words, the number of people who watched the legitimate version is comparable to that of "Chinese Paladin III"?

“So, it’s unfair to compare online dramas with TV dramas. Nowadays, online dramas are much more popular than TV dramas, but the performance reports they create may not be comparable to the market share of TV dramas.”

Cai Yinong's words made Liu Sisi nod slightly.

This is a new thing after all.

No one understands it very well, but knowing a little is enough.

Compared to before, Gulinazha has definitely made a great progress.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have won the endorsement of Corolla together with Gu Tianle!

Whether it is Weibo or Tieba.

Guli and Nezha are the actors with the most popular fans recently, and even made other actors speechless at one point.

Even Mu Tingting's growth rate is far inferior to hers, and of course it is also related to Gulinazha's identity.

As there are very few people from the Western Regions in the circle, before and now at this stage, there is only one person who is very popular in China.

Just can't mention his name.

And now Gulinazha is the second one.

She is also the dream lover of a large number of boys.

Many people claim that the reason why ancient people had to establish the Western Regions Protectorate has been found.

"For the movie Xuan-Yuan Sword, you have to take good care of this little girl." Cai Yinong turned to look at Brother Hu, "After all, she is Director Guan's person. If you have a better relationship with her, it may be beneficial to your filming of the movie."

Cai Yinong whispered, trying not to let Liu Sisi hear, "But you have to be careful and don't have any thoughts that you shouldn't have. After all, Gulinazha is a special face under Director Guan. It's not your turn, understand? Don't mention some dirty words."

Brother Hu nodded heavily.

He knew what Cai Yinong was talking about.

During previous interviews, Brother Hu told jokes that were a bit disrespectful to actresses, such as using words like "wet", and there have been some different voices on the Internet.

But the reason why Cai Yinong gave such a warning this time was because the person opposite him was not an ordinary person.

It’s Guan Ling.

"Sisi, your movie will be released soon. You must cooperate with all kinds of publicity at that time. You can put other work on hold for now. Otherwise, although Director Guan won't say anything about you, if other people have any rumors, it will not be good for you."

Cai Yinong has been working very hard and worrying about these two actors of hers.

Hear this.

Brother Hu and Liu Sisi both nodded heavily.

……

Youku.

The moment Gu Yongqiang saw iQiyi’s official announcement of its results.

His fists were clenched completely.

The knuckles were already slightly white.

"Having just one LeTV is not enough. This is forcing us video websites to continue to reshuffle our cards!"

Gu Yongqiang has been feeling quite miserable these days.

It had a counter-effect on the "Beginning" troll army. It had no effect other than increasing the popularity.

An official notice silenced all doubts.

Blameless fire.

The inevitable fire.

This is how the performance of "Beginning" is described today.

Guli Nezha has won many endorsements one after another, participated in the Mango TV promotion and stood in the center of the stage, and also went to CCTV-6 to be interviewed by the movie channel about the popular online TV series "The Beginning".

All of these prove how popular Guli Nazar is nowadays.

Many viewers even describe Gulinazar as Balala the Fairies.

God of Darkness, attack!
This is used to define its shocking popularity.

LeTV.

Jia Yueting sat in front of the conference room.

"Before this, our goal had always been to catch up with Youku and Tudou, and we were ready to catch up like crazy, but we forgot that there were other competitors."

At this moment, Lao Jia is full of vigor and ambition.
"As a viewer who was recently deeply moved by Forever Young, it reminded me of those glorious years. The explosive popularity of The Beginning also made me completely certain that we must believe in Guan Ling.

So, spend money! "

At Jia Yueting's command, the simplest and most direct method of corruption was chosen.

LeTV, which just went public, has nothing else but money!
Jia Yueting certainly has the confidence to do so.

As a new record for Chinese-language TV dramas, Jia Yueting is very eager to take it.

……

This day.

The filming site of "Hot Girls".

Guli Nazha, who was about to go to Shanghai TV to record a variety show, showed up to visit the set.

It instantly caused an uproar among the entire crew.

Everyone was very excited. After all, no one would not be excited when looking at a beautiful woman.

Only Yang Mi felt a little dissatisfied.

I greeted Gulinazha and we got to know each other.

Although they are from the same company, Yang Mi and Guli Nezha seldom see each other, let alone have any contact information.

Sure enough, after the crew finished filming that evening, Guan Ling claimed that she needed to go to Guli Nezha's room to discuss the next scene of Guli Nezha.

Several people were not staying in a hotel.

It was a villa that Guan Ling had bought in Shanghai before.

So I'm not afraid of being seen.

Yang Mi walked around the yard and saw a thin white curtain drawn around Nazha's room.

It doesn't matter if you just watch it for an hour.

Yang Mi's hands turned pale from clenching their fists.

Occasionally, a strange sound could be heard, as if there was a lark in the yard, rapid and melodious.

An hour later.

The two have completed their script discussion.

When she saw Yang Mi again, Gulinazha's face was slightly hot and a little red.

"Sister Yang Mi, you haven't gone home yet."

Gulinazha didn't know what to say, so she just exchanged pleasantries casually.

Yang Mi took advantage of Guan Ling's inattention to talk to Gulinazha, "Congratulations, you've ascended."

Gulinazha didn't hear clearly, she only heard congratulations, so she nodded.

Yang Mi was furious when she saw this.

He leaned over and whispered in Gulinazha's ear.

"You have already ascended to heaven. Can I take over next time tonight? I don't like the lewd voice just now. It is not as good as the sweet voice."

For a moment, the whole yard was silent.

Gulinazha had never heard such vicious words.

A little confused.

There was fear in Caroline's big eyes.
