Chapter Seventy-Four: Disputes over Big Online Movies

Hong Chen asked Ge Chen to coordinate with iQiyi, Ge Chen was very efficient, and it didn't take long to contact the person in charge of iQiyi.

The two sides discussed cooperation matters and hit it off.

There is no other reason, for iQiyi, it is just to add a movie to the movie channel, and by the way, use the cover to promote it, and the investment is minimal.

And this movie is starring Yan Yileng and Hong Chen, not to mention being able to increase traffic for himself, he will definitely make money.

For Hong Chen's side, there is a big platform for them to play movies, so they naturally agree.

However, Hong Chen only made one request, which was also the focus of negotiations between the two sides.

Hong Chen said that this movie does not sell exclusive copyrights, that is, other playback software can also ask them to buy the broadcast rights of the movie.

The person in charge of the other party hesitated for a while, but finally agreed.

As a result, the two sides reached a cooperation, signed a contract, and officially started the operation of online movies.

After that, in iQiyi's software, the movie interface "Coming soon" section, the poster of the movie "In Those Years, The Girl We Chased Together" appeared.

In the poster, a group of teenagers are sitting on a high platform, barefoot, looking into the distance.

In addition to the title, the text in the poster also includes a list of actors.

Starring: Hong Chen, Yan is also cold

As two well-known actors, there must still be a star effect.

When the audience saw the poster below, they thought it was a duplicate name at first, but later after seeing the people in the poster, they were sure that the leading actors were really Hong Chen and Yan Yileng.

Suddenly, this matter caused a lot of controversy.

"Yan Yileng, how can my goddess act in an online movie, it's too expensive!"

"Yes, and Hong Chen, he is the leading actor of the international director Zhang Hai, and he actually acted in an online movie?"

"I'll see, it won't be the work of the investor to make money. ”

"It shouldn't be, or it must be a theatrical movie. ”

"Yes, if you make money, the pre-publicity has long been overwhelming, why haven't I heard any publicity news about this movie. ”

"It's a little weird, Yan Yi is making a big online movie?"

"What's wrong with online movies, many big names are still making online dramas!"

"But the quality of online movies is very poor. ”

For the release of this movie on iQiyi software, it also aroused a lot of controversy.

Yan Yileng also knew about this, before the release of the online movie, Yan Chi and Hong Chen discussed with Yan Yileng.

Yan Yileng found her agent Yang Hui, and Yan Yileng said at the time that it was a trivial matter to ask Yang Hui to contact the theater chain.

However, Yan Chi insisted on taking the route of big online movies, thinking that this was an opportunity for him to start from scratch.

However, Yan Yileng has to agree to this matter, after all, it will affect Yan Yileng's reputation.

Yan Yileng asked Yang Hui's opinion, and after Yang Hui watched this movie, she agreed to it.

Yang Hui commented: "The market for this movie is very good, if the preliminary publicity work is in place, it will definitely be a dark horse when it is released in theaters! ”

Yang Hui is a real gold medal agent, and his vision will never be bad, and his words also strengthened Yan Chi's confidence.

The online discussion also continues.

It's not that the audience is biased against online movies, it's just that the quality of online movies is too poor.

The exaggerated special effects, the exaggerated acting skills, and the eyeballs all rely on ghosts and meat sellers, which are shoddy.

That's why the audience is so resistant.

However, Rao is like this, and the number of reservations for this film has reached 3 million in just two days.

You must know that the average movie in this section only has hundreds of thousands of reservations a week, but this movie directly reaches 3 million.

However, there are many people who join in the fun, and there are many people waiting to see the jokes.

On the cusp of this storm, the biggest pressure is not Hong Chen, but Yan Yileng.

In order to cheat clicks and gain popularity, unscrupulous editors on the Internet chose to write posts that violated their conscience again.

Between the mother and the click, the editors chose the latter.

"The value of a certain line of traffic has plummeted, and you can do such a thing?"

Click in and take a look, it probably means that Yan Yi made a big online movie, and finally came to the ambiguous words of the movie "How is the effect, let's wait and see", a complete garbage article.

What else is "Upcoming Online Movies, the Insider You Don't Know"

This is even more nonsense, saying that this movie is used to wash Huaxia coins, and Yan Yileng and Hong Chen are both unscrupulous actors.

Of course, there are also reliable ones who found out that the director is Yan Yileng's brother, but he didn't forget to take the opportunity to hack Hong Chen.

"Hong Chen and the Yan family may have an unusual relationship, could it be said that Hong Chen wants to become the son-in-law of the Yan family?"

In order to click, the editors can pull out anything.

A lot of posts that seem to be empty at first glance have actually received a lot of likes.

Some people who eat melons do not have such a strong sense of discrimination.

However, for Yan Yileng, this time is indeed more risky.

She is a first-line coffee position, in order to help her brother lower her price, if the reputation of the movie fails, it will have a great impact on her career.

Yan Chi knew what was at stake, so he was anxious all day long before the movie was released.

He also contacted several publicity teams to promote the film for himself, and the results were not satisfactory.

He was worried.

Here, Hong Chen has come to the crew of "The Best of Us" and is ready to start filming a new script.

However, he is also following the dynamics of "Those Years" in real time.

That evening, at 10 o'clock.

After seven days of publicity warm-up, the film officially began to play.

Yan Chi sat in front of the computer, opened the backstage of iQiyi, and paid attention to the data of this movie in real time. He was able to see the real data playing in the background, and iQiyi gave him such permission.

5 minutes passed, member clicked: 93

Seeing the data, Yan Chi was slightly stunned, and then his expression became a little bitter.

This data is poor.

A wonderful online movie, clicks can break 100 million times.

Of course, the number of hits on the Internet does not correspond to the number of heads, but only a representative of popularity.

But double-digit member clicks are already very poor.

Yan Chi continues to refresh the background data.

10 minutes passed, member clicked: 484

There are more member clicks, but they are still far from expectations.

"Am I really not suitable for filmmaking?" Yan Chi thought silently in his heart.

He was worried that he was sorry for his sister and sorry for Hong Chen.

At the same time, a VIP audience named Chen Huihui turned on iQiyi and felt a little bored.

I just saw that iQiyi's Feng Tui is a movie starring Hong Chen and Yan Yileng.

"Yan Yileng, have you made an online movie? or a love movie?" Chen Huihui was very curious, so she clicked on this movie.

At first, the movie was bland, but the more she watched it, the more wonderful it became.

No blood, no artificiality, no abortion, no tearing.

It's simply a model of youth cinema.

It's refreshing to watch.

Even in the process of watching the movie, Chen Huihui posted a lot of barrages after a long absence.

After watching the movie, Chen Huihui was hooked, and then hurriedly posted on Moments and recommended friends to watch this movie together.

At the same time, a lot of viewers were doing the same thing.

"Those Years" exploded on the Internet!
