I only have a few words, can the singer blame me?

Chapter 230 Inferior Horse

"Wind and Cloud" is scheduled to be broadcast at 8 pm on August 5th, and will be updated and broadcast simultaneously by Penguin Video and Qiyi Video.

Regarding this drama, there is a lot of attention from the entire Internet, which can be seen from the number of reservations on the two platforms.

The number of people who made reservations to watch "The Storm" on Penguin Video was 402 million, while that on Qiyi Video was 355 million.

Not bad.

It was almost the starting point for a drama that was about to explode, and it was a hit that was so popular that it surprised people in the industry!
  You know, when people buy things on the Internet, they actually don’t like reviews. Most people tend to default to positive reviews. The same is true for making reservations for TV series. Most people will not click on the reservation button, but will wait until the TV series is broadcast and watch it directly.

This means that the number of viewers who really want to watch "The Storm" is far higher than the number of reservations.

The reason is very simple. First, because the Feng Yi brothers and sisters are now top celebrities with a good reputation and high popularity. This is their first film and television drama; second, because Penguin Video and Qiyi Video have released the final announcement of "Wind and Cloud" Later, marketing efforts were increased.

Naturally, the heat grew.

However, with such high popularity, people in the industry are generally not optimistic about the data after the broadcast of "Feng Yun", because "Xian Yuan" and "Feng Yun" are scheduled to collide, and the number of reservations and popularity of that drama are higher.

……

At ten o'clock in the morning on August 8, a small meeting was held in a conference room inside Penguin Video.

The person who led the meeting was a middle-aged man who was slightly fat and loved to smile.

He has a name with a very high plagiarism check rate - Zhang Wei, who is the operations director of Penguin Video and is mainly responsible for platform content control.

"The latest news is that the promotion of "Immortal Fate" has been fully launched, and it is coming fiercely! Director, should we also increase the marketing of "Feng Yun"?" A temperamental white-collar worker wearing gold-rimmed glasses said.

Zhang Wei nodded and said: "Well, we will continue to increase the marketing efforts of "Feng Yun". Although we have played Tian Ji horse racing this time, we must at least make the playback volume of "Feng Yun" not so ugly. If we can increase a number of members better."

There are currently four major online video websites in China, namely Penguin Video, Qiyi Video, Youku Video, and Mango Video.

Each has its own advantages.

For example, Penguin Video is rich and powerful, Qiyi Video is deeply involved in self-made products, Mango Video is backed by Mango TV, etc...

Others, such as CCTV, Bilibili, etc., although they have certain strength, are not a big threat.

Therefore, in order to compete for members, the top four websites often use "pig brain tricks".

The way to compete is naturally to use popular dramas.

Only high-quality works can attract people to sign up for membership on the website and even purchase on-demand in advance.

"Immortal Fate" is Mango Video's upcoming fairy-tale drama, starring Wei Haidong and first-line actress Song Qingyu, with many popular actors and actresses participating, and a large group of veteran actors playing supporting roles.

Strong lineup!

It can be said that when this drama was first proposed, it had already been directly targeted to become a hit, and it was even very likely to become popular.

Moreover, it is still a star drama and will be broadcast simultaneously on Mango TV on August 8, which is two days later.

Shortly after buying "Feng Yun", Zhang Wei considered the horror of "Xian Yuan" and that there would be no benefit in competing with this drama. Therefore, he thought about Tian Ji's horse racing and used "Feng Yun" to compete with "Xian Yuan". The hit drama that was originally prepared was moved to a later stage.

Coincidentally, Qiyi thought the same way, and the two companies coincided with each other. After some discussion, "The Storm" was scheduled to be released on August 8th.

"Mango wants to take advantage of Wei Haidong's popularity this time to push traffic idols such as Song Qingyu and Fang Jian... Let Fengyi Group fight. It's only Fanxing Entertainment and the brother and sister's problem. As long as we don't lose, It’s too ugly, just win.”

"According to me, we may not necessarily lose. Although the plot of "Wind and Cloud" is ridiculous, don't forget the status of the Feng Yi brothers and sisters in the music world. If they release two more songs for this TV series, maybe they can really compete with "The Fairy". Fate》Fight a fight.”

"It's difficult. How can a martial arts drama compete with a fairy and puppet drama? And today's young people are obsessed with the mango style, where immortals fall in love and have a feast of good looks..."

"..."

In the conference room, people were discussing it.

"Okay, let's break up the meeting." Zhang Wei waved his hand.

He didn't want to listen to these people emphasizing other people's ambitions and destroying his own prestige. Of course, he is pessimistic about the future playback data of "Wind and Cloud".

"'Xianyuan' is a high-grade horse, and 'Feng Yun' is a low-grade horse. If you add the combination of Feng Yi, it can be considered a middle-class horse at most."

TV dramas are just like people, afraid of comparison.

People like to compare TV series with different schedules.

"It's a pity... If this drama didn't collide with "Xian Yuan", maybe the results would be much better."

Zhang Wei shook his head.

Just like that, he would have to come up with another drama to compete with "Immortal Fate". After all, he would have to choose a cannon fodder.

……

"What a coincidence..."

In Shancheng, Fanxing Entertainment, Xu Feng, who was originally auditioning for actors but was currently fishing, smiled.

When he first started surfing, he came across a marketing advertisement for "Immortal Fate". He was not familiar with the other actors in this drama, but he heard Wei Haidong mentioned by Zhen Huan and Lao Jiang.

The rebellious boy of Fanxing Entertainment has now become the Feitian Awards Visual Emperor. It is somewhat ironic, and it is also the deepest thorn in the hearts of Zhen Huan, Lao Jiang and other old Fanxings.

Xu Feng is a little disdainful of this person.

The ship is going to sink. If you don’t want to sink with the ship, jumping off the ship early is at best a sign of bad character.

But in turn, helping others poach and make the ship sink faster... This is pure traitor behavior.

"Bumping gears... let's give it a try." Xu Feng raised his eyebrows and smiled.

To be honest, he is not as confident about "The Wind and Cloud" as he is about "The Legend of Sword and Fairy", but from the perspective of the plot, "The Wind and Cloud" is not bad.

Some plots are indeed perverted, but isn’t this what we people love to watch?

Sometimes taking the wrong approach can yield great results.

In one sentence, it looks good and that’s it.

"Dong dong dong..."

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.

"Enter."

What appeared at the door was a melancholic and handsome man in his thirties, with a free and easy temperament. The first time he saw Xu Feng, eagerness and desire flashed in his eyes.

He wants to get that role! A role that can become a screen classic if done well!
  When Xu Feng saw him for the first time, he secretly thought in his heart that the candidate for Jiujianxian was found.

Of course, acting skills must still be tested.

In fact, before the announcement of the Fairy Sword project on Weibo, Fanxing Entertainment had already sent audition invitations and personal role scripts to some prospective actors.

The person in front of me is one of them.

"Hello, Director Xu, my name is Xie Changan..."

"Tell me about your understanding of the role of Jiujianxian."

"He...has been lost and escaping. He gets drunk every day because of the emptiness in his heart. He fell into other people's ways, but lost his own way. The moment he threw down the wine gourd, he found himself and gained the way... "

At this point, Xie Changan started acting directly, playing the scene when the Jiujianxian first appeared on the stage.

Xu Feng's face was as calm as water.
