Chapter 59: Calm

On the morning of August 18, "Love Apartment" was broadcast for the second day.

People who watched the first and second episodes of "Love Apartment" last night recommended it to colleagues, classmates, and friends - in fact, they don't need to recommend it anymore. This drama has long passed the stage where it needs to be known by word of mouth.

Skynet and Beijing Satellite TV's advertisements can be called frenzied, and there are almost no young people who don't know about "Love Apartment". And its audience is young.

But it can't be said that the audience's private recommendation is useless, on the contrary, it is very useful.

Not everyone who has seen an advertisement will watch a TV series, and a good reputation can make more people sit in front of the TV or computer to watch the show.

There is also a double effect, everything is discussed more and more lively. When there are more people discussing, the atmosphere comes out. And the atmosphere is the easiest to influence a person's choice.

How these excited viewers recommend this drama to the people around them will not talk about it for the time being. Countless professionals are staring at a data submitted by MSI in a daze.

MSI announced a statistic at 8 o'clock in the morning, the first and second episodes of "Love Apartment" were broadcast in 12 hours on demand. The number is three thousand two hundred, and the unit is ten thousand.

Two episodes, twelve hours, three thousand two hundred ...... Ten thousand.

This is another blockbuster drama - the most important thing is that it is also broadcast simultaneously on TV and the Internet, diverting a considerable part of the audience. Otherwise, the number would be even higher.

As for the ratings of Beijing Satellite TV, we have to wait for it to come out. Third-party statistical agencies also have their own rules of conduct.

For "Love Apartment" to achieve such good results, industry insiders do not find it strange. Not to mention Zhu Ziqing's appeal, just with the crazy propaganda of Skynet and Beijing Satellite TV, it should have this achievement -- in this era of watching advertisements, sometimes publicity is more important than quality. Besides, the quality of this drama is really good. As far as the genre of sitcom is concerned, the quality of this drama is not to say that it is in the top spot, at least it is within the top three.

People in the entertainment industry take it for granted, but people in the economic circle can't be calm. 32 million on-demand views, which means that MSI TV has at least 10 million users.

Half a month, tens of millions of users, this kind of development speed can no longer be described as a miracle.

Economic Observer: MSI TV has more than 10 million registered users in the first half of the month since it was launched.

China Business News: Allow me to describe MSI's success as a miracle.

Financial Times: It took two years and three months for Youdou to gather tens of millions of users, one year and one month for Shile.com, and six months for Qiandu TV...... MSI TV took seventeen days.

The Financial Daily is even more direct: the fourth giant of Internet companies - Skynet.

The Fourth Giant of the Internet? Seeing this report, I don't know how many people who claim to be social elites and successful businessmen are dumbfounded. Although they were not convinced, they could not object. It took a year to turn a company into the Internet, something they couldn't even think of, and someone did it.

MSI TV users exceeded 10 million, and Lin Baoer knew about this as soon as possible. He wasn't surprised at all by the result, just think of the penguins in his previous life. If he can't do it to this extent with 400 million users, Hu Biao can resign directly.

The only thing that made him feel a little unexpected was that the speed of breaking 10 million was faster than he thought. His original expectation was that it would be good to break 10 million a month.

The online video sharing website market is chaotic, and hundreds of related websites such as Youdou, Shile, Qiandu TV, and Liuku are competing. You can imagine how fierce the competition in this industry is.

Although QQ has 400 million users, these 400 million people just give it a high starting point. There aren't many people who are willing to go directly to MSI TV. In the end, it depends on whether there are really attractive features, and "Love Apartment" plays such a role very well. Successfully converted tens of millions of users.

"Boss Zhu, congratulations, you have created a business miracle again. Sure enough, he is a business tycoon. Chen Guoli called early in the morning, apparently also saw the relevant reports.

"Speak human words. Zhu Ziqing said angrily.

"Uh......" Chen Guoli was choked half to death, but he was not angry. The two have been familiar with each other for so long, and they are used to joking in private.

This has something to do with Zhu Ziqing's status. When contacted by him, Chen Guoli was in a weak position, and he could only accommodate his way of behaving. If you change to an ordinary crew member, try making such a joke when the two of them are acquainted.

Of course, for Chen Guoli, this is not a concession. Zhu Ziqing was willing to communicate with him like this, and he would only feel flattered.

"It looks like someone once said that they were going to give me a big surprise. Where's the surprise?"

"In such a hurry, don't you plan to rest for a few days after the filming of "Love Apartment"?" asked Zhu Ziqing.

"What to rest, I feel like I can shoot ten more dramas without resting. Chen Guoli said with some excitement. Zhu Ziqing's words show from the side that this gift should be related to the script, otherwise he wouldn't have said rest or anything.

"Really, that's a good feeling, I have a few scripts here, so you can shoot them all in one go. ”

"Then I really want to thank Boss Zhu. You're welcome, smash me to death with a script. But before that, give me that big gift. ”

"I have a lot of scripts here, enough for you to shoot for a lifetime. However, in the future, my script may only be made for DreamWorks' contracted directors. If you want to shoot, I'm afraid you can only change jobs. Zhu Ziqing said half-jokingly and half-seriously.

Forget it when Skynet didn't set up its own film and television company, since there is DreamWorks, there is no need to cheapen others.

It's just that DreamWorks is still an empty shell now, with nothing. He, the big boss, still did his best to help develop it.

Not to mention actors or anything, the most important thing in the entertainment industry is actors. What is lacking is other professionals...... For example, producers, directors, screenwriters, lighting engineers, cameramen, martial arts commanders or something.

Don't look at a lot of positions that are inconspicuous, but very important for a crew. For example, the prop master is responsible for designing and organizing all kinds of props needed for a film, preparing the props budget, and supervising and accepting specific props that are difficult to solve.

The props designed by an experienced prop master are more in line with the style of the whole film, and can also fulfill some of the director's bizarre requirements. Sometimes you can even use props to complete some things that require special effects to do, saving money for the crew.

An inexperienced prop master is terrible. For example, if Iron Man's iron armor is designed like K88, it is estimated that many people will vomit.

But experienced crew members are not easy to find. Other entertainment companies are not stupid, and excellent personnel are hiding like babies, how can they leak out in vain.

And there is still a status quo in the entertainment industry, most of the behind-the-scenes members of the crew are with the group. Especially excellent talents, they have a fixed team, and it is too difficult to poach.

But on the other hand, it's better to dig the team - as long as you get their core, there is a high probability that the whole team will be brought over.

Chen Guoli also has his own bottom class, although he is not the top one, but he is also an experienced person. And the core of that base class is Chen Guoli himself. Digging him up is like packing a team. It can save a lot of trouble for DreamWorks.

"Haha...... What are you kidding Mr. Zhu, just now you said you wanted to give me a big gift. Don't make excuses. Chen Guoli snorted and said.

"You actually slandered me, Lao Chen, you make me sad too much. From today onwards, our friendship has come to an end. Zhu Ziqing sighed in his heart.

Chen Guoli's refusal was in his expectation, only those who did not mix well would change jobs, and Chen Guoli was still very good in Chenghai Entertainment.

Especially in recent times, because of the fire of the two TV series "Soldier Assault" and "Love Apartment", he has also secured the throne of a big director.

Chenghai Entertainment attaches more importance to him, and it is when he is like a fish in water, and it is not a wise choice to change jobs. Even if the other party is a network giant like Skynet.

But he didn't get angry or anything, everyone has their own choice, and what Chen Guoli did was not wrong. If he is angry just because of a refusal, he might as well go home and be an otaku.

"I thought our friendship was unbreakable, but I didn't expect such a trivial matter to be over. Is all I can say is...... Give me the big gift first?" said Chen Guoli in a sad tone.

"Haha...... Well, the novel has already been written. Just come over when you're free and we'll discuss the shooting. ”

"After what are you waiting for, I will be able to go to Wuhan right now. ”

At ten o'clock, the third-party agency released yesterday's ratings leaderboard. "Love Apartment" came in second place with 2.01.

Seeing this rating, everyone on Beijing Satellite TV laughed up and down - except for Huang Zhengkui. One million and 2.2 million episodes, I bought a TV series with an opening rating of 2.01, which is too cost-effective.

Especially compared with the price of 4.4 million yuan for the first episode, it is simply the price of cabbage.

On the evening of August 18, "Love Apartment" began to broadcast the third and fourth episodes.

The success of the first two episodes has brought more people to their TV or computer......

When the third episode started, everyone sitting in front of the TV couldn't help but laugh......

Zeng Xiaoxian: "Guan Gujun, are you still used to living in China?"

Guan Gu nodded again and again: "I'm so used to it, Chinese food is great! Yesterday Meijia cooked a dish that was so delicious, it was called ...... Braised butt!!"

Zeng Xiaoxian and Zhanbo heard this, and looked at Chen Meijia with strange eyes: "Braised butt?!"

Chen Meijia hurriedly explained: "It's braised pork ribs!"

Hahaha - this joke is actually not funny, but under the influence of the overall atmosphere, everyone still laughs very unimaged.

After watching so many promotional videos, everyone has a certain understanding of the characters of the protagonists of the love apartment, but it is not comprehensive. After watching these episodes, the missing part was finally completed. I have the most intuitive understanding of several protagonists.

Zeng Xiaoxian, who has a cheap and declining personality, and Hu Yifei, the empress who is tough, knife-mouthed, tofu-hearted, straightforward and domineering. He likes to drill the horns, sometimes violent, and likes to say that seppuku is magical - his Chinese level and just the right amount of comprehension are a highlight.

Lu Ziqiao is very attentive and very capable of fooling, Chen Meijia loves stinky beauty, Lu Zhanbo is like a child, Lin Wanyu is gentle and cute, likes to sell cuteness, and can call 'a bucket of KFC' with confidence.

Some people like Hu Yifei's boldness and generosity, some people like Lin Wanyu's gentleness and cuteness, and some people admire and envy Lu Ziqiao's ability to fool...... There are quite a few people who like each character.

Although each character has various shortcomings, it is more approachable and close to life, coupled with those light-hearted, funny, and down-to-earth lines, countless viewers immediately became loyal fans of "Love Apartment" after watching it once.

The next day, third-party statistics showed that "Love Apartment" continued to rank second with a rating of 2.30 - it was still affected by the simultaneous broadcast on the Internet.

How nice it would be if it was an exclusive TV premiere, and many leaders of Beijing Satellite TV had this idea at the same time. But they also know that this can only be imagined.

Although "Love Apartment" only came in second, its influence far exceeded that of the first place.

"The development of domestic sitcoms has always been a shortcoming, lacking high-quality products, especially in the past five years, there has been no sitcom that can make people remember the name. "Love Apartment" effectively fills this gap. ”

"Love Apartment" has contributed to the development of sitcoms and youth idol dramas in my country. ”

Because of the good reputation, the ratings of Love Apartment are bursting, and it is not surprising that it has climbed to the first place in the short-term search of 1000 degrees. and Hu Yifei and the empress ranked third.

However, the first place in "Love Apartment" did not squat for long, and was soon squeezed out by another piece of news.

"The first album of the natural girl Lin Beier is about to be completed. (To be continued.) )
