Dragon, choose cultural victory to make money

Chapter 173 There is a way to die
"Why?" The director didn't understand. In his opinion, a rerun could not be better than the first run.

The first screening must be the time when everyone’s curiosity and interest are at their highest.

Whether it is drama, musical, stage play, or the emerging magic shadow and magic vision, the current rule is the same.

There are only occasional exceptions where there is no promotion at the beginning and the popularity gradually builds up.

Or classic plays from many years ago, re-interpreted by today's most popular troupes.

But "Tom and Jerry" is different. It is neither a re-interpretation of a classic work nor is it without publicity.

In fact, it was the most heavily promoted production to date, with all of Drogo Group’s channels mobilized.

Even Auto Chess has a Tom Cat, and the attack animation after winning a round is taking off and diving.

"This doesn't make sense," the director tried to deny this phenomenon that was beyond his understanding.

"It must be them. They must have cheated. They are the ones who operated Magic Vision, collected the statistics, and released the data. There is something wrong. There must be something wrong."

The director said with great conviction.

He needed this opportunity to prove his worth to the Drama Guild. As the first dramatist to defeat Drogo Studios in the Shadow Realm, he would rise rapidly in the guild.

If anyone wants to be a director for life, he should climb up and become the one who controls the resources.

"Why are you so sure they're faking it?" Craig asked as he looked through the ratings statistics.

Because this is often done in the drama awards industry, the judges and producers are all the same group of people, and the final allocation of the awards is a division of interests among different groups.

There are also box office and drama critics, there are so many twists and turns.

Many people actually don’t know exactly what they like, and don’t have any particular standards for aesthetics. These can all be guided. This is the experience summed up by the theater industry hundreds of years ago.

After all, this industry has a history of thousands of years. What Mo Shi is doing now is just expanding the scope of influence. To put it bluntly, it is still the same thing.

But he couldn't say that directly. After all, he was also a member of the Drama Guild. Although some things were clear to everyone, it still made a big difference whether they were said publicly or not.

"Because it feels very irregular." He had no choice but to answer.

"But it follows its own rules." Craig said, pointing to the ratings statistics in his hand.

Since the monthly ratings involve bonus issues, the specific ratings change curve of each program will be made public.

The magic of "Tom and Jerry" lies in the fact that its ratings do not fluctuate much.

Compared with other shows that hit their peak in the second week of premiere, then plummeted all the way to the finale and then rebounded, it cannot be called a ratings curve, it's simply a straight line.

The same episode was replayed over and over again, with the highest being 48% and the lowest being 41%, and it remained in this range.

No matter whether it is morning, noon, evening or midnight, there are always people watching it.

The meal time is relatively higher, but the difference is not that big.

"What kind of monster is this?" the director was confused.

"And I think for this show, there's a huge portion of viewership that's not captured," Craig said.

"Those store plazas where the Magic Vision machines are open all year round are not included in the statistics. If you go and take a look, you will know that the most people stop when Tom and Jerry is playing."

This is the conclusion Craig came to while browsing the toy store, and the animation even effectively lowers the volume of noise in the toy store, which is always chaotic.

It is very popular among the store staff. It is hard to find a second thing that can control children so efficiently.

They may be more anxious than Drogo Ben Long to get the second episode done as soon as possible.

“So second place isn’t bad either.”

Craig is very open-minded. He doesn't know why there is a saying that the second place is the biggest loser. Unless it is just a competition between two sides, the second place is also a position gained by defeating many opponents, right?

"The data should be fine. Drogo would not falsify such a small matter. He is a fairly upright dragon."

Meanwhile, a few kilometers away.

"Ah!"

Drogo, who was thinking about what other peripheral products he could make for Cat and Mouse to make some money, suddenly sneezed.

"Can dragons catch colds?" Elsa asked in surprise.

"No, I feel like someone is talking about me."

"Ha, what does nagging you have to do with sneezing?"

"It's called the mysterious dragon sense. I understand it and I don't understand it." Drogo said seriously. "Then what is it whispering to you?"

"Say I'm honest."

"Pfft," Aisha couldn't help saying, "You said you are upright. Hahahaha, upright!"

"Pah!" A silver coin hit the table. "I'll give you a chance to see if I'm honest or not."

"You are so upright. Even the Inquisition would shake its head when it sees you, because there is nothing to repent for." Elsa is well versed in speaking the words of a dragon in front of a dragon.

"Very good," Drogo said, putting the silver away.

"Oh, no, you, that." Elsa stared at the silver coin she had put away, anxiously.

"What? I just flicked the coins. What's wrong?" Drogo said innocently.

"Ah! Black-hearted Dragon! How can there be a creature like you in this world!" Elsa was furious.

I can’t beat him, and I can’t win by talking. Going to work every day can effectively treat low blood pressure. What a crappy class!
Not going up either...

Forget it, I'd better go for it. If I don't, who will give her the few dozen silver coins she's short every month?

……

Unlike the joy on Drogo's side, the atmosphere of the dinner party on Craig's side was so low that it was almost impossible to continue.

It turns out that opening a glass of sparkling wine at halftime is not advisable.

"I have another idea." The director wanted to make a final struggle.

"We can guide public opinion and get the audience to boycott this animation collectively, and then we can make a comeback next month."

"Craig the Young Hero" still follows the ratings rules of the movie drama. It reached its peak on the first broadcast, and then it was all downhill. If it lost this month, there will be no chance in the future.

The Tom and Jerry animation is advertised to have 100 episodes, and one episode will be released per month. When will it be updated?

"What should we do then? It's so popular, especially among kids." asked the leading actress.

"Children have parents. There are so many dangerous actions in this animation. There are news reports about child accidents every month. When a new accident occurs, we will report it on the animation.

"The poor boy died because of imitating a certain animation. I wonder if such works are ruining the next generation.

“If we write it like this, parents who haven’t received much education will definitely believe it and join in the boycott.” The director became more and more excited as he spoke.

He could already imagine the scene where the animation was jointly condemned by countless parents.

Then it had to be suspended due to public pressure.

Just like he had previously proved that a script satirized the church by nitpicking on the words, which eventually led to the banning of that play.

"Our cooperation ends here," Craig suddenly interrupted.

"What! Why? I'm only thinking about your project." The director didn't understand.

"Because I still want to live." Craig said very seriously. He rarely looked so serious.

"It's not that exaggerated. This is just a business tactic."

The best way in business is to physically eliminate your competitors.

"Do you know the former pharmacy in Twin Towers? The boss made pirated toys and was thrown into jail. He has not been released yet, and the pharmacy has become part of the Drogo Group."

This incident didn't even make the news at the time; it seemed to have happened and ended in an unknown corner.

In addition to leaving behind a demonic shadow, the original name of the pharmacy became completely infamous.

"You are from the Craig family, how can you be like an ordinary businessman?"

"Okay, that's it. Thank you for the script. Now we are fine. I wish you all the best."

Craig said without question.

Precisely because he is a member of the Craig family, he is able to know more information. In the eyes of the Drogo Group, ordinary nobles may not be much different from small bosses who run pharmacy factories.

If he has any special skills at such a young age, being good at taking sides is definitely one of them.

"Goodbye, if we ever meet again."
