Zhihu itself will choose the high-ticket answer and put it into its official mobile phone aPP. Zhihu officially named Xu Fu's article: "How to make a movie with 5,000 yuan? It's so detailed that anyone can learn it! ”

Others certainly don't use this title. Marketing accounts and news clients have written attractive headlines according to the characteristics of their followers. What "I want to make a movie even if I don't have money?" can really be filmed", "grassroots creators in the Internet era, I can also share the right to speak with Hollywood directors".

And then the low-end ones are "X Silk pulls three Bai Fumei to make a small movie!" 5,000 bucks to play for three weeks! It's so strong that the editor kneels! ”

Xu Fu kept receiving enthusiastic private messages from people in Zhihu, saying that his article was stolen by a certain news client, or reprinted by a certain public account, and suggested that Xu Fu defend his rights.

Of course, Xu Fu did not defend his rights. What the reprinters do is not honorable, take other people's things to increase their own popularity, and then cash them out in their own pockets. But there are two sides to the story, and sometimes, they can also use their power.

When they were the medium, they promoted Xu Fu's articles to a wider range of followers. The biggest advantage in the article is that there are beautiful women, which is a hard means to attract attention. After reading the article, no matter how careless you are, you also know that a horror micro-movie called "Ghost House" was born on the Internet.

Some people are not very interested in horror-themed works, and want to watch them when they are free, and then forget about them. But there are also people who feel that they have the right appetite and immediately go to search.

As a result, the hits of Haunted House are on the rise. It skyrocketed by 200,000 in one day! More importantly, the "popularity" of the work is about to exceed the 50,000 mark.

In other words, there are now nearly 50,000 people who really like the work "Ghost House".

……

The headquarters of Youku in the capital. The female intern editor who also tried to recommend "Ghost House" before, when she was free, she clicked on "Ghost House" again and wanted to see the male protagonist in it again. When she reviewed it today, she saw a lot of strange content, and she needed to wash her eyes with Li Fake's men's clothing image.

However, just as she clicked on the video, the playback startled her. In a short period of time, how can the number of broadcasts increase so much?

There are similar situations. Youku has cooperation with many websites, and you can watch Youku's videos directly on other websites. Maybe "Haunted House" is popular on other websites?

The editor doesn't know where these 100,000 or so clicks came from, but with these clicks, the recommendation requirements are met. She hurried to find the content editor: "Sister Luo! Do you remember the video I showed you the day before yesterday? 200,000 hits! ”

"Two hundred thousand?" The content editors were also a little surprised. Sure enough, "Ghost House" did have more than 200,000 hits. The recommended criteria have been met.

There are not no recommended seats for "Haunted House". In the "Micro Cinema" column, there is a special "Thriller Space" recommendation position. So far, more than a dozen original horror online movies with amazing clicks have been produced, and more than 10 million are not nothing.

At present, this recommendation is mainly recommended for works from a year ago. Because new works are very risky, the benefits of pushing new works may be far less than those that have already proven themselves with clicks.

It's just that the old recommendation will gradually lose its gold content. The content editor decided to put "Ghost House" in the recommendation list, and as long as the deputy editor-in-chief does not object, "Ghost House" will be able to be recommended in the "Thriller Space" tomorrow.

When the deputy editor-in-chief looked at the list of recommendations, he found at a glance that the recommended position of the "Thriller Space", which was always empty before, has a work today: "Ghost House".

He believes that the editors under his command will meet the standards if they dare to submit it. However, the deputy editor-in-chief wrote a note that first recommended only twelve hours of "The House of Ghosts". After twelve hours, if the results are not good, then the recommendation will be withdrawn and the recommendation will be returned to the original old face.

Those original movies that have always hung in the "thriller space" can contribute traffic to the website in a long way. If "Ghost House" can't bring equal or even more revenue, then wait until it can bring revenue before using the referral slot.

……

Xu Fu soon received an email from Youku that his "Ghost House" was about to be featured in the "Thriller Space".

He searched for a long time, but he couldn't find where the "horror space" was. In the end, I called and asked Youku's customer service to solve my confusion.

First of all, click "Movie" on the home page, and then click "Micro Cinema", and the page that appears is pulled to the middle, which is "Thriller Space".

Xu Fu was speechless. This recommendation is like a treasure chest, who will find it? I thought I could have a homepage recommendation or something. I didn't expect the first recommendation to be in such a remote place.

He casually opened a horror movie that was currently recommended to see how it scored. As a result, I was stunned at all, and the number of clicks was as high as 9.5 million! Xu Fu looked at the name of the video again, "Dongquan Hotel", I haven't heard of it at all!

Youku's water is really deep, and there must be a doorway in it that he doesn't know yet. Xu Fu didn't dare to judge himself anymore.

Although he still doesn't believe in the recommendation of "Thriller Space", he doesn't have to rely on the website anymore. Xu Fu's own publicity method is far more effective than any recommendation on the website. His articles are still proliferating, and the number of hits is rising.

Another day passed. The number of hits of "Ghost House" is 500,000, but the "popularity" is not even 100,000.

Xu Fu found that the ratio between clicks and popularity is declining. From 1.5:1 at the beginning, to 5:1 now. In other words, now five people clicked, and only one person actually finished reading the work and enjoyed the story from the bottom of their hearts.

There is only one person who can see the truth. Everyone else could only look at the dazzling number of clicks or be happy or amazed. Qu Jingmo didn't talk about them, they were so happy that they went shopping every day.

Even the Youku website was shocked by the number of hits to "Ghost House". "Thriller Space" used to be able to add four or five thousand clicks to the video in a day, but today is good! After ascending to the recommended position, "Ghost House" directly added 250,000 hits! Based on the calculation that ordinary members need to watch 60 seconds of advertising, the website directly broadcasts more than 200,000 minutes of advertising!

Originally, the deputy editor-in-chief was worried about the risk and asked that only 12 hours be recommended to try it. I don't need it now, and I'll hang it on that recommendation in the future! He also instructed to wait for the "Zhefu team" to upload the sequel and replace the sequel as soon as possible.

At the same time, Youku also arranged for someone to call Xu Fu to remind him that he had met the criteria for applying for "certified users". Only by becoming a "certified user" can you participate in the "Photosynthetic Program" later.

I didn't know what the "photosynthetic plan" was, but it didn't hurt anyway, so Xu Fu applied.

The people of Youku then asked Xu Fu to continue to work hard and continue to create good-looking video works. It was as if Xu Fu had become a star of tomorrow.

After Youku's people, Zhou Ke, whom Xu Fu had seen before going to "Campus Jie", also called.

Zhou Ke raised his eyebrows and said proudly: "You really made a popular work!" Today cFo sent me an email apologizing and saying that I shouldn't have underestimated my judgment. Thank you! ”

"No thanks. Sponsorship ......," Xu Fu asked.

Zhou Ke continued to talk about his own affairs: "Manager Wang you saw last time, after hearing how many clicks your "Ghost House" has, his face is stinky! Hahaha, I'm laughing to death. ”

Since Zhou Ke was assigned here, she has been angry and excluded, and this is the first time she has successfully counterattacked! Although it doesn't depend on her own ability.

"You said you were going to give me a sponsorship...... Xu Fu asked again.

Zhou Ke then said: "I don't have the right to talk to you about this matter now." Our CMO will be here to see you in person in a few days. He wants to talk to you personally about marketing cooperation. ”

"What's that...... What does a CMO do? Is it your company executive? Xu Fu asked weakly.

"The CMO is pretty much in charge of the market." Zhou Ke said.

Xu Fu was dizzy. A start-up company, should it be so bureaucratic? This high-level structure is probably a bit more complex than IBm. He was puzzled: "There are more than 500,000 hits on the Internet, how can they pay so much attention to me?" ”

Zhou Ke said: "Sponsoring you is not only an exchange for you now, but also an investment in your future." You think, give you 8100000 now, let you advertise us. When you become famous in the future, everyone wants to look for your previous works, won't they see us? ”

Xu Fu asked again: "Your leaders don't necessarily have to come to see me." Isn't it the same for you to give me the grant? ”

"He probably wants you to do implant propaganda. even directly followed his ideas to do the follow-up plot to maximize the promotion of the company. Zhou Ke said that this was all something she guessed, and she could say it to Xu Fu casually.

Xu Fu rubbed his temples when he heard this. I thought that the CMO came in person because he valued him, but it turned out that he was going to use him as a puppet. It seems that the money on campus is not easy to get.

Xu Fu doesn't want to think about this now. The numbers that he sees as invisible to others are rising. When this number reaches 130,000, it means that the work covers 1 in 10,000 Chinese, and he becomes an official "builder". Otherwise, he will lose his existing privileges and his memory will be erased.

It's a shame to lose the privilege that gave him several hours a day more than others!

The numbers keep jumping. Xu Fu almost thought he had won. A task that seemed almost impossible in advance was easily accomplished?

Three o'clock in the morning. At this point, it was already the twenty-eighth day of the mission. Before Xu Fu went to bed, he looked at the numbers again and 125123.

There is also a gap of more than 5,000.

Judging by the growth rate of the past few days, it seems that the task will be completed by waiting until daytime!

However, when Xu Fu woke up, he found that the growth of the number seemed to have decreased.

By daytime, the decrease was even more pronounced, and like snails, it only increased by one or two every two or three minutes.

Compared with the rapid rise in numbers a few days ago, the decline seems to be a sudden brake!
