Huayu: The director just wants to save money

Chapter 676 I drink and eat, but I am a good emperor

"1.5 billion!"

The two women were shocked when they heard the number Zhou Mo gave.

"Isn't it a bit too much?" Liu Shishi hesitated.

As far as she knows, there is no drama on the pay channel of the station that can sell for 1.5 billion yuan.

Generally speaking, the least is 300 to 500 million, and the most is 700 to 800 million.

There is not a single one worth more than one billion.

"Which was the most profitable show on the pay-per-view channel? The Invisible Guardian? But isn't the main source of this show's profits the games?

I saw an announcement on the website a few days ago that the total sales of the game version of "The Invisible Guardian" has exceeded 10 million. "

"'The Invisible Guardian' definitely doesn't count. That show was included in the pay channel only later." Zhou Mo waved his hand.

In the past, none of the pay channels on Mile Station had revenue of over 10 billion.

But this does not mean that "I Want to Be the Emperor" has no chance of breaking through 1.5 billion.

“No matter the cast or the content, this drama is actually the most luxurious production since the launch of Mile Station’s pay channel.

In addition, the users cultivated by Lizhan’s paid channel have a high degree of overlap with those of "I Want to Be the Emperor".

The channel has been running for so many years, and it’s time for it to have a mainstay work.”

After a thorough analysis, there are actually many details that have not been mentioned.

But for Liu Shishi and Tang Yan, it was enough.

They are not newbies in the industry. Instead, they are quite familiar with the industry situation.

"So, "The Emperor" really has a chance to break 15 billion." Tang Yan murmured.

The first thing that came to her mind was not the possibility of setting a record, but that if the payment for a TV series could reach 1.5 billion, the boundary between TV series and movies in the entertainment industry would be further broken.

In fact, the boundary between TV series and movies has become increasingly blurred from the clear-cut distinction in the past to today.

Thinking back to when Zhou Mo first mentioned this matter to her, she didn't quite believe it.

How could movies and TV series lose the boundaries between each other and gradually blend into each other?

Movies are expensive and demanding, but once they are released, if they perform well, the returns are also high.

TV series have low costs and low risks, but the rate of return is indeed much lower.

Unexpectedly, just a few years later, Zhou Mo's prediction was once again confirmed.

Then, next, when will Zhou Mo's prediction about the development of movie stars and TV stars, that movie stars will descend to earth and the status of TV stars will improve, become a reality?
Thinking of this, Tang Yan looked at Zhou Mo on the other side of the sofa and found this guy more and more attractive.

Even the way he chews the duck neck looks so good.

On the other side, Zhou Mo casually opened the page of "I Want to Be the Emperor".

I looked at the time and there were still about fifteen minutes before the official broadcast.

At this moment, the screen is still black, but many netizens have already started communicating through barrage.

"I've been waiting for more than half a year, and finally I got The Emperor."

"Shanhe products must be top quality. I ordered all of them right away."

"I'm not a fan, I'm just a passerby, I want to ask if this drama has a plot of chasing the dead and chasing the north as rumored, I watched it just for this reason, if not, I will leave."

"Don't worry about the previous one. Shanhe Company never commits trailer fraud, and it is a continuous fraud. In the four trailers of "Emperor", two of them involve chasing the dead and chasing the north, which means that there must be such content, and a lot of it. Just watch it."

"Is that so? Thank you. I'll watch it without any worries then." "No, there are people who watch this kind of made-up drama. Just imagine it."

"No, if you don't want to watch it, why did you pay to come in? Are you sick?"

"Sure enough, the show hasn't even aired yet and some people have already come in following the scent."

Zhou Mo looked at the barrage of comments that flashed across the screen and said to himself, "As expected."

The mess of comments and rhythms can never be cleared up.

But fortunately, Lizhan is his home ground, so facing these rhythms, he can just use the administrator's method.

Seven-thirty sharp.

"I Want to Be the Emperor" will be broadcast on time.

The TV series opens with Emperor Chongzhen ascending the throne and trying to get rid of Wei Zhongxian and cooperate with civil officials to govern the country.

When Prince Fu, who was far away in the Central Plains, heard about this, he held a banquet in his own palace to celebrate.

During this process, the father played by Huang Xiaoming can be described as unruly.

Indulge in delicious food, appreciate beautiful women, and the main goal is to do whatever makes you happy.

From this point of view alone, Prince Fu is very different from the good monarchs in the traditional sense, such as Emperor Wen of Han, Emperor Taizong of Tang, etc.

Sure enough, when the banquet was over, someone came to advise Prince Fu.

I hope he can be frugal and pay attention to his behavior.

Prince Fu did not only scoff at this statement, but he also did not fully agree with it.

In his opinion, the most important thing for a monarch is whether he can expand the territory, ensure the stable development of the court, and let the people live and work in peace and contentment.

As for whether he drinks or likes beautiful women, none of this matters.

In other words: Although I like to go clubbing and throw parties, I can also be a good emperor.

Obviously, this magically transformed Prince Fu is quite different from the image of the "good emperor" in some historical dramas in previous years, but he is more in line with the current social trends.

In the past, whether it was Chen Daoming's "Kangxi Dynasty" or Tang's "Yongzheng Dynasty", the emperors in them were all very hardworking and worked day and night.

But this time, Prince Fu is completely different from the past.

His image is actually more in line with the image of Jiang Xiaobai, Duke Huan of Qi, a tyrant in the Spring and Autumn Period thousands of years ago.

Duke Huan of Qi asked Guan Zhong: I like fun, drinking, and beautiful women, can I make my country strong?

Guan Zhong: No problem.

In the first episode, when Prince Fu was discussing with his ministers, the number of comments increased.

"That's right. The emperor doesn't want a perfect person, but someone who can strengthen the country."

"It's okay to like beautiful women. Maybe you can even have more children. As long as it can make the country better, let alone like beautiful women, having concubines is no problem."

"Hey, this magically modified version of Prince Fu is quite interesting. It's different from what I've seen before. As long as it can maintain this level in the future, I guarantee to subscribe to it."

Liu Shishi looked at the reactions of the barrage with excitement.

"It seems that everyone is very optimistic about the role of Prince Fu, and the comments are mostly full of praise."

"That's normal. The audience's basic literacy is at this level. They all know what the criteria are for evaluating a good monarch. Li Shimin killed his brothers and raped his sister-in-law, but in the end, he was still the greatest emperor of all time, a hexagonal super warrior who was ranked third in history and wanted to be the first."
