Chapter 848 - A Great Success

Sister Liu was stunned when she saw this prompt, what's wrong?

Don't you want to see it if you don't pay for it?

It's fun to watch!

Her daughter also shouted, "Mom, hurry up, I want to watch the second episode!"

"No, we're not paid members. Sister Liu said depressedly.

The daughter's mouth immediately pouted, "Then pay for it, and you should go to the cinema to watch a movie." You don't buy tickets, and people in the cinema won't let you go in to watch it. ”

"You dead girl, can that be the same? You don't need money to watch TV!" Sister Liu said unhappily.

"But this series can't be watched on TV, what kind of garbage drama is it on TV, can it be compared to this?" the daughter immediately retorted.

Sister Liu really wants to defend the TV station, but if you think about it seriously, the TV series shown by the TV station really can't be compared with this.

Just kidding, in an ordinary TV series, the production cost of an episode is 200,000 yuan, which is considered excellent.

As for "Youth Trilogy", I heard that the production cost of each episode is as high as more than three million!

It's completely piled up with money, and the effect is certainly not comparable to ordinary TV dramas, and it's not much worse than movies.

"My colleague Xiaohu seems to have a member, I asked her to borrow it, why spend this unjust money. Sister Liu was still reluctant.

It costs 18 yuan a month, and if you use this money to buy vegetables, it is enough for the family to eat for a day!

…………

Hu Lili was watching a drama while eating snacks when she received a call from Sister Liu.

"Xiaohu, that ...... My girl wants to watch the second episode of the youth trilogy, you know, I didn't buy a membership. Didn't you buy it, can you lend it to me?" Sister Liu said euphemistically.

Hu Lili, a little girl, is usually very talkative, and she is kind and angry in the company, and Sister Liu thinks that she will definitely lend it to herself.

Unexpectedly, Hu Lili refused......

"No, I'm watching it myself. Although this membership is not restricted to remote login, it cannot be used on two computers at the same time. If you use it, it will be disconnected from my side. Hu Lili said dryly.

What are you kidding, I'm looking at it, and you're asking me to borrow an account?

If you are not willing to spend money to buy it, you will take other people's money instead of money?

Sister Liu was stunned for a moment, feeling a little embarrassed, this thing was done......

Naturally, she was embarrassed to say anything else, so she could only hurriedly say: "Oh, oh, I don't know yet, I thought I could watch it at the same time." Then you see, I won't bother you. ”

After hanging up the phone, Sister Liu's daughter was looking at her expectantly with her face up, and asked, "Mom, have you borrowed it?"

Sister Liu gritted her teeth, "Buy! Wouldn't it be okay for us to buy a membership ourselves, isn't it just eighteen yuan!"

It's the same situation as Sister Liu's family, I don't know how many.

They were originally reluctant to spend money to buy members, but after watching the first episode, they couldn't hold back anymore.

There is nothing more painful in the world than this, obviously the second episode of the "Youth Trilogy" is there, but I can't watch it......

Just like Sister Liu said, isn't it eighteen yuan, buy, buy, buy!

…………

With the online broadcast of "Youth Trilogy", many people feel unfinished after watching it, and they have a lot to say.

So, on Facebook, this drama swiped the screen again.

On the night of May 20th, if you haven't seen the "Youth Trilogy", it will be OUT.

Because everyone is talking about this drama.

"I feel that Lu Yi's acting skills are great, and he is exactly what my cousin looks like!"

"Ah, I'm going to die, the male god is really a male god, and the handsome one can't do it......"

"A young actor in China, I think Lu Yi is qualified to play his cousin, no one else is good, not handsome enough!"

"Hey, hey, haven't you noticed Kunkun, he's also very handsome. ”

"Kun Kun is okay, but he's not as handsome as Lu. And it looks cold, not sunny enough. ”

"Why do you all only pay attention to the male actors, and don't you find that the girl who plays the heroine is very beautiful? I really don't know where the crew found it, it's exactly Xiao Ran in my mind!"

"Nonsense, we're all girls, of course we pay attention to male actors......!"

These comments that focus on the actors are, of course, ordinary viewers.

As for the insiders, it is more from the professional perspective of the set, props, picture structure, and even what camera is used for shooting.

Everyone sighed that Director Zhang Da and Director Bao Gang are indeed worthy of the leading directors in the domestic film and TV drama circles!

The shot is really extraordinary!

The quality of this series is completely comparable to the movie, and it is also shot in full accordance with the standards of filming.

In the history of domestic TV dramas, there has never been.

Of course, this is also because the crew is too rich.

"Youth Trilogy" invested 300 million yuan in the whole play, this number can scare people to death.

And the actors' salaries are not high, and many big-name actors voluntarily reduce their salaries in order to be able to star in this series that is destined to become a phenomenon.

In fact, in those years, the actors' salaries were not high.

Even a popular student like Lu Yi took over the filming of this series, and the salary was only 50,000 yuan per episode.

Even if you shoot 80 episodes, you will get 4 million, which is still pre-tax income.

He is already the highest-paid in this drama.

As for Zhou Mengrou, the salary is pitifully low, only 5,000 yuan per episode, and because the crew helped her hire a professional mentor to guide her acting skills, she had to deduct part of it......

It's all tears.

…………

With the explosion of word-of-mouth, on this night, the membership sales of Facebook Video ushered in a wave of peaks again.

The next day, at the Facebook Entertainment management meeting, the operation manager reported to Dong Xiaoxue with a spring breeze on his face.

"As of 8 o'clock this morning, the number of paid users of our Facebook video has increased by more than 2.6 million!"

There was a round of applause in the meeting room, and with the more than 1.3 million paid members in front of us, Facebook Video now has up to 4 million paying users!

As a pioneer of the video website charging system, every bit of achievement is precious.

This achievement has proved that the fee system is feasible!

As long as you dedicate good movies and TV series to users, then users will not hesitate to open their wallets and pay for happiness.

"It's a pity that most of these paid subscribers added last night were monthly memberships that were purchased, not annual memberships. Of the more than 2.6 million members, nearly 2 million are monthly members, and only 600,000 are annual members. So the revenue is not too high, only 130 million. The revenue manager said with regret again.

This is also very light and reasonable, because most of the newly added paid members last night were users who didn't want to pay for memberships.

As a result, after watching the first episode, I couldn't help it, so I spent money to buy a membership.

Such users are naturally reluctant to buy annual memberships all at once, and most of them buy monthly memberships.

"It's already good, there is such a thing as payment, there are countless times when there is a first time. As long as we continue to launch new and wonderful series, we are not afraid that they will not continue to pay! Maybe after two months, these users will regret it, why don't they just buy an annual membership, that can save dozens of dollars. ”

Dong Xiaoxue said with a smile.

She is confident that she will retain these paying users.

Not to mention anything else, just "Youth Trilogy", at least 80 episodes of four seasons will be filmed!

That's going to last almost a year.

After watching the first episode, you can't help but watch the second episode.

So, after watching the first season, when the second season is launched, your monthly membership has expired.

What do you do?

I definitely have to renew.

"Well, now the success of the "Youth Trilogy" proves that our self-portrait and self-screening operation model is successful! In this case, the next plan is on the agenda. Mr. Fei's "Youth Trilogy" kicked us off, and then we will continue to find a suitable script and prepare for the second self-made exclusive drama. Dong Xiaoxue announced.

set up his own film and television company, recruited Sister Hua, and a large number of artists.

The purpose is to invest in shooting your own TV series, and then broadcast it exclusively on your own website to attract a large number of users to pay.

This model has proven to be successful.

Dong Xiaoxue is ambitious and wants to do a big job.

Facebook Entertainment is not short of money, and after Facebook was launched, Mr. Fei allocated a large amount of budget.

Otherwise, how could he be willing to spend 300 million to make a series.

"Mr. Dong, we have a director, Director Baogang is the best TV series director in China, and his style is especially suitable for young people. There is no shortage of actors, and our film and television company has many signed artists, even if they are not our signed artists, they are happy to cooperate with our company. The only thing that lacks a good script is ......"

Li Xian, general manager of Facebook Film and Television Company, said with a frown.

She is also talking about industry problems, a good script, but not to find.

The domestic screenwriting industry does lack talents.

Famous artists who are really suitable for writing scripts are generally already cooperating partners, and before a script is written, there are I don't know how many TV stations are eyeing it.

"Not all TV series are suitable for online broadcasting, in fact, our user base is dominated by women, and they are mainly young women. So, I think idol romance dramas, as well as urban fashion dramas, are more popular. But such a script is indeed difficult to find......" Sister Hua, the head of the contracted artist department, also spoke.

"Well, I'll inquire if there are any suitable young writers in the past two years, and it should be better for us to directly customize the script. Dong Xiaoxue clapped.

In the publishing industry, she is an old qualified person with a wide range of contacts.

After entering Facebook in the past two years, I didn't pay much attention to the publishing industry.

Now it's not easy to help the company find scripts, go to the publishing industry to find old relationships and inquire.

If there is a young writer who is just beginning to write about love, it would be good to ask him to talk directly and customize a few scripts.

Anyway, the company has a lot of money, even if the customized script is not filmed for the time being, it is good to stock it up.
