Chapter 234: The Popcorn Net's Boom
No matter how incomprehensible the elites of other Internet companies are, or how many celebrities in the entertainment industry can't figure it out, the first episode of this miniseries "Never Expected-The Legend of Wang Da Hammer" is a hit, and it is a big hit!
Many of these lines have been spread by countless netizens, especially the various cute expressions of Wang Dazhui in it, which were screenshotted by some netizens and made into expressions, or avatars, which have become a popular element!
In just one day, "Never Expected" won the love of many netizens and many fans with his unique style, spoof plot, and hilarious lines!
Best of all, it's free to watch this video, just put up with the 15-second ad!
On the second day of the upload of "Never Expected", the number of people watching the first episode rose at a rocket-like speed, and countless netizens came to visit, click, play, and watch!
In short, this miniseries is popular, and the two characters in it are also popular, and the "Smiling Proud Jianghu" that has been mentioned several times is also popular with the crew!
Originally, some netizens who were fans of Yang Ming were angry when they saw that there was an obvious smear plot in the video, and just as they swore that they would leave a message in return after watching it, the staff list that appeared in the tidbits at the end of the film, they saw that the director turned out to be Yang Ming, and suddenly, they suddenly realized!
It turns out that Nima is engaged in propaganda!
All netizens who are familiar with Yang Ming were made to cry and laugh by Yang Ming's unconventional method, this is too talented!
The next day, the number of clicks on "Never Expected" was 1.6 million, 300,000 more than yesterday!
The craze quickly spread across the web!
"Hey, haven't you seen "Never Expected"? It's so funny, you go and see it!"
"Laugh, laugh at your sister!"
"Can you get a little more scum?"
"I think of the sunset run that afternoon, the lost youth of my life. ”
"Yang Ming has made a new gadget again, he is definitely laughing to death!"
"Really, I'll check it out!"
Countless topics about "Never Expected" and Yang Ming were happily discussed by netizens, and this craze made all the popcorn up and down employees extremely excited!
"Mr. Yang, the website is now on fire, and the number of daily visits has reached more than 5 million! five times that of before!" Ma Yun got the latest number provided by the technical department today, and couldn't help but call Yang Ming to report the good news!
"Then I'll rest assured, it's good that the website revision continues to proceed as planned!" Yang Ming said with a smile, just kidding, with a proven video website business model in his previous life, plus a leading Internet trend "Never Expected", it's no wonder that the traffic of popcorn does not increase!
Ma Yun was smiling at this time, he patted his chest and assured him: "You can rest assured, I've been staring at it, by the way, Mr. Yang, now someone has started to contact us for patch advertising, Manager Zhu has formulated a price list for the other party according to the plan you told us last time, and now the other party has not responded!"
During the last discussion, Yang Ming also changed the advertising charging model of the website, not the traditional website advertising space charged by day, but changed to charge according to the number of visitors, or the number of clicks!
The advertising space of a website is limited, even if all the advertising space is sold, the advertising revenue is completely predictable and limited!
However, the traffic is unlimited, and Yang Ming's mode of charging according to the number of viewers and clicks can be said to have no upper limit!
Therefore, others are still not very sure about the new paid advertising model of popcorn websites!
"Oh!" Yang Ming knew the worry in Ma Yun's heart, and he said very confidently: "Mr. Ma, you just put a hundred hearts, this model is completely feasible, well, you tell Manager Zhu, this charging model can be changed to a different concept, that is, according to the effect of charging, yes, just like that, how many people see your advertisement, how many people click on your advertisement, we will charge as much advertising fee, no one reads, no one clicks, we don't charge!"
When Ma Yun heard Yang Ming's explanation of a different concept, his eyes suddenly lit up, this is completely for the sake of the customer!
Of course, Yang Ming didn't know what Ma Yun was thinking, even if he knew, he smiled indifferently, this model had been used badly in the previous life, and when the website developed to a certain scale and the charging standard rose, it was impossible for all customers to put up a national advertisement, and then position the advertisement, that is, if it is only for Yanjing's customers, then this advertisement can only be seen by netizens with Yanjing's IP address, and netizens in other places cannot see this advertisement!
Moreover, this method does not conflict with the national advertising, and the advertising revenue is completely endless!
There is no upper limit to the flow rate!
Internet companies play with traffic!
"Damn, you kid is too godly, go get a video website, and it's so earth-shattering!" Liu Xinsheng ran to Yang Ming's office, and when he finished calling, he finally couldn't help but complain first.
"It's nothing, just mess around!" As he became more and more familiar with Liu Xinsheng, the conversation between the two became more and more casual, like an old friend for many years.
Hearing Yang Ming's words, Liu Xinsheng said with a disdainful face: "Look at you, but also, if you do it, the publicity cost of "Smiling Proud Jianghu" will be saved a lot! I'm thinking, you won't go to the video website you acquired for this, right?"
Yang Ming laughed when he heard this, in fact, it was really not because of this that he went to buy the video website, he thought of it completely unintentionally, and he was a little proud in his heart, it was completely a stroke of genius, his own original creativity!
Seeing Yang Ming's smiling appearance, Liu Xinsheng also said happily: "By the way, that Wang Dazhui and another actor can be said to be completely popular now, where did you find the two of them? Why haven't I seen them?"
"Oh, the two of them, it's not the role of the Six Immortals of Peach Valley in "Smiling Proud Jianghu", you need to find six actors with more characteristic appearances, and then after signing a contract with them, I thought of them when I filmed this "Never Expected"!" Yang Ming said with a smile.
"It turned out to be them!" When Liu Xinsheng thought of the requirements for the six roles of the Six Immortals of Peach Valley in his mind, he remembered the appearance of those six actors, all of whom were very distinctive actors, "I never thought that the six of them would not all appear in the next few episodes, right?"
"Of course!" Yang Ming nodded.
"Damn!" Liu Xinsheng couldn't help but look forward to these future appearances.
The traffic of the popcorn website after the revision is getting higher and higher day by day, and it is rising rapidly, it is completely a straight line soaring, the website launched a mini-series "Never Expected", although it was only one episode, it received a huge response among netizens, and countless people became die-hard fans of this miniseries that only played one episode!
The two male characters in it are also popular, and they have been screenshotted into various GIF pictures and avatar expressions, which are popular in all corners of the Internet, and the crew of "Smiling Proud Jianghu", which has been teased several times in the plot, is also famous, and all netizens know that Yang Ming, the director of this miniseries, is also preparing to shoot a martial arts TV series, which is called "Smiling Proud Jianghu"!
In addition, the advertising model of Yang Ming's personal concert through guò video patch, 20,000 tickets have already been sold out, and many fans have to prepare to pay to watch the live video broadcast of the website, or directly become an annual VIP member of popcorn.com and watch Yang Ming's concert for free!
This emerging operation model of the popcorn website has gradually been accepted by netizens, there is no free lunch in the world, if you want to watch free TV series and movies, then accept other people's advertisements, if you want to remove the ads, it's okay, you pay to become a VIP member, and that's it!
In fact, many netizens have calculated that with this operation mode of popcorn websites, the consumption of netizens is indeed much less than before!
In the past, watching an episode of a TV series was a dollar, a TV series was watched on average, it cost about 30 yuan on average, and a movie cost 10 yuan.
And now after the revision of Popcorn Network, TV series will always be free, but there are ads, if you don't want to watch ads, 20 yuan per month to become VIP, not only can remove ads, but all movies can be watched for free, if you recharge to become an annual VIP can also be cheaper!
Although the film library of the popcorn website is still the old film library of the past, and there are no new TV series and new movies in the library for the time being, there are still countless people who have purchased membership VIP, and some of them have purchased annual VIP!
Yang Ming also arranged for the website to keep a TV series and a movie in the library updated every day, so that members can't always watch old movies!
The first part of "Meteor Garden" is the first TV series updated after the revision of Popcorn Network, plus a movie that was good at the box office a few months ago, which immediately attracted cheers from consumers who became VIP netizens!
The growing popularity of popcorn websites has finally caused unease among other video sites!
Several low-ranking video sites, the traffic of the website has fallen to muttering in the past few days, it is simply miserable, they are in a hurry!
Even if the top ranking and the rich film library of several large video websites are a little unbearable at this time, the traffic has plummeted, and the number of visitors is decreasing, so there are fewer and fewer people who consume on the website!
Some people want to learn the new operation model of popcorn, and some companies are dismissive of the operation model of popcorn websites, and they don't think that the free mode of popcorn network can last long!
It costs money to buy TV series copyrights, movie copyrights, and variety shows, but it is free to watch, and you can only make money through guòVIP and advertising revenue, and several of their video website companies don't believe that this can make money at all!
Then, the day before Yang Ming's concert began, a company was finally willing to sign an advertising contract with the popcorn website!
It is not charged in the traditional way, and the advertising fee is charged according to the number of views of 1,000 people, and the most important contract in it is: national general investment, 40 yuan per 1,000 people watching!
When the next day came down, the advertising cost calculated by this new charging model shocked the entire Internet world!
The number of visitors to Popcorn is currently around 5 million, and 200,000 yuan can be charged for every 1,000 people watching ads! It seems to be very small, but this is only a day's cost, what if the number of visitors to Popcorn website rises to 10 million? What if there are other advertisers who advertise their hair?
And this is not the traditional way of selling advertising space, that is, 100 more companies, 1000 companies to place advertisements, popcorn websites can also eat! It is not at all like other websites Once the advertising space is sold out, others can't put in advertisements if they want to, so if you calculate, it will be easy for popcorn to exceed one million a day in the future, and it is not impossible to do it! It is simply too shocking!
The traffic is unlimited, and the advertising revenue is unlimited!
The industry was stunned!
The employees of Popcorn.com were also stunned!
Yang Ming was not stunned, because his concert was about to start!
