Honkai Impact 3rd: Join Anti-Entropy at the start and dominate the entertainment industry.

Within just four hours of its release, the movie's views surged to 600,000!

Pilipili has a dedicated data department that monitors various movie data traffic.

Today is May 20th, and Pixiv has released a lot of new online movies, so the entire department is working overtime today to monitor traffic.

All online movies have clear data displayed below them, including play count, number of bullet comments, number of reviews, and rating.

However, at that moment, all the staff members widened their eyes and stared at a set of data on the screen—the number of views for "Crazy Stone".

This data is growing rapidly every second!

Many people were already gasping in shock.

Because Qu Yin was the screenwriter of "Crazy Stone", P-site predicted that the movie's ratings would not be low.

But no one expected it to explode like this!

Looking at the real-time data displayed on the computer, everyone doubted whether their eyes were playing tricks on them, and some even counted the data carefully several times.

Chapter 365 Data Explosion

One, ten, hundreds, thousands, ten thousand, one hundred thousand!

618763!

It has already surpassed the 60 mark!

Just over four hours!

At a rate of 5 yuan per person, this movie raked in over 3 million yuan in just four hours!

The staff at Pornhub are naturally aware of the details of "Crazy Stone." The budget was only three million, and there were no famous actors playing the lead roles!

The props and sets were very rudimentary!

Even the doctor who treats prostate issues at the beginning was played by Cao Dawei in a cameo role.

The only advantage is that the screenwriter is Qu Yin.

But what use is this for the movie?

In most people's eyes, Qu Yin is a composer; what does he know about movies?

It was probably just a random shot.

This so-called advantage, for some viewers, actually has more of a deterrent effect.

Aside from fans and bored people, who would want to waste 5 yuan to watch a bad movie?

But who could have imagined that this film, which didn't seem to have many advantages, would become a hit within just a few hours of its release? And even quickly recoup its costs?!

Moreover, judging from the current upward trend in the data, this is just the beginning!

Staff at Pixiv were buzzing with discussion.

"This is outrageous! Six hundred thousand in four hours?!"

"Could there be a bug in our processing program? This data is very abnormal. How could this happen with an online movie?"

"There shouldn't be any bugs. The rest of the video data is normal, and the number of bullet comments and comments is also fine."

"The key point is that this movie isn't exclusively streamed by us. I remember that ACFun also got the streaming rights. What's the situation there now?"

"I just took a moment to check. I don't know the exact real-time data, but the movie's view count has already reached 400,000! It's now at the top of the daily view count chart!"

Upon hearing this, everyone in the room gasped in unison once again.

On Pixiv, it's 60 views, while on AcFun, due to data delays, it's estimated to be at least 45. This means that "Crazy Stone" has now surpassed 100 million views!

Let alone online movies, even lavish theatrical releases might get a million views, but very few can achieve that within four hours.

"With 1 million views, that means 'Crazy Stone' has not only recouped its costs, but has actually earned over 5 million yuan?!"

"I remember this movie's budget was only a little over three million, right?"

"Sold over five million in just four hours? Forgive my ignorance, but I don't recall many online movies achieving that."

"This speed at which they make money is something even the theater chains have to admit defeat!"

"Look at the movie's rating, it's already at 92 points!"

"The comments section is also full of positive reviews!"

"The most crucial point is that this is only the data from four hours ago; the data will definitely be even higher later! No, we must immediately notify the higher-ups at Pornhub!"

"That's right! With this movie being so popular, we must make full use of our resources and ride this wave to attract more viewers to pay to watch it!"

"Don't forget we're not the exclusive broadcaster; we have a competitor, ACFun! They'll definitely do everything they can to compete with us for viewers!"

"What? Even if it means losing money, we can't let A-site make a profit! Give me a huge boost in promotion! Give me the top-tier promotional resources!"

""

The situation is similar on A-site. The two video websites are competitors, and now that they both have the broadcasting rights to "Crazy Stone," they will naturally do their best to attract viewers to watch on their respective websites.

This will not only bring traffic, but also bring Mane in his prime.

Moreover, if they don't make this money, their competitors will, which is something a businessman cannot tolerate.

It's possible to not make a profit, or even lose money.

But we absolutely cannot let our competitors make money!

That would be worse than killing them.

The top executives from both sides were also amazed when they saw the data.

"too crazy!"

"This is clearly a low-budget, low-quality film, so why is it so popular? Judging from the current trend, many records held by online movies will be broken!"

"This is just the beginning. After a few days, as the data develops further, it will explode! I estimate it will at least double!"

"Increase promotion! At all costs!"

""

The biggest regret for both websites now is that they didn't secure the exclusive streaming rights to "Crazy Stone".

If we had won back then, would we still need to worry about competitors now?

Unfortunately, there's no going back in life.

For viewers, it doesn't really matter where they watch it, since it's all 5 yuan and the picture quality is the same.

The biggest difference might be that there are more bullet comments and comments on Pixiv, but this advantage is limited, since a difference of 10 views doesn't make much of a difference.

There's a limit to the number of comments that can be displayed on a single screen; it's impossible to cram hundreds of thousands of them in at once.

If both websites want to gain a greater advantage, they will inevitably have to adopt some more aggressive promotional strategies, such as lowering prices.

However, while the price is lowered, Bai Qianqu's share of the profits cannot be reduced. Essentially, the website chooses to sacrifice some of its own interests in exchange for more traffic, which is no loss for Bai Qianqu.

The fact that the website made such a concession shows just how incredible "Crazy Stone" is.

The next day, Xavier had just arrived at the company and was having breakfast in the cafeteria.

He attended a friend's birthday party last night and stayed out very late, almost making him late this morning.

The movie was released yesterday, but he didn't keep an eye on it.

It's not that he lacks confidence in the film.

After all, in his experience, it usually takes at least two days after an online movie is released before you can see any clues about it.

The initial data was inaccurate and not very useful for reference. Moreover, he was well aware of the film he was involved in making, as its narrative style was indeed somewhat unconventional, and many viewers might not accept it.

To put it bluntly, he was still afraid that his movie would be a flop as soon as it was released.

This was quite a blow for him, an intern director.

I might as well wait until now to look at it; there will surely be some rational comments, so it's not too disappointing.

However, as soon as he turned on his phone, he immediately found a lot of push notifications popping up on his screen.
