Chapter 172: Carnival
8 p.m. sharp.
With the official launch of the first and second episodes of "Fist Town Mountains and Rivers", a large number of users poured into Watermelon Video.
"Looking forward to it!"
"It's finally on the air!"
"Dragon snake old fans come to report!"
"Invincible!"
"Warmly celebrate the launch of the new drama of Zhang Yang Guoshu!"
......
In the first minute of the broadcast, countless barrages passed in an instant!
In addition to the original users of the platform, there are also many temporary IPs among these users.
Since the first episode was broadcast for free, it was launched for less than 5 minutes, and the number of barrages in the entire first episode rose rapidly.
It was tens of thousands a minute ago, but in the blink of an eye, it broke 100,000 and 1 million.
At the same time, the background observation data of watermelon video shows that the number of broadcasts of the first episode has been rising since the start of the broadcast, and one million is just the beginning, breaking 10 million in minutes, and it is approaching the past towards nine figures.
If it weren't for Fu Yiming's early upgrade of the server before, in a short period of time, such a huge number of users surged, and the original server of Xigua Video would inevitably be stuck.
"The first episode has exceeded 50 million playbacks! The second episode is also rising rapidly and is about to exceed 10 million! ”
Data Monitoring Center.
A programmer looks at the computer screen in front of him and exclaims!
"Boxing Town Mountains and Rivers" was launched in less than half an hour, and the number of views of the first episode has exceeded 50 million, which is equivalent to the total number of original free users and VIP users of Watermelon Video, and this number is still rising.
This also shows that with "Fist Town Mountains and Rivers", Watermelon Video continues to introduce new users from the outside world, no matter which platform these users are from, at this time they have all entered the platform of Watermelon Video.
With the premiere of "Dragon and Snake 1" before, Watermelon Video has at least increased the number of users by nearly 10 million.
It is foreseeable that the broadcast of "Fist Town Mountains and Rivers" will definitely bring a new round of growth frenzy to Watermelon Video.
At the same time, there are users who have watched it quickly and have clicked on the second episode.
Although, the second episode requires a website membership to watch it.
But even so, the number of broadcasts of the second episode continued to rise, breaking through the 10 million mark at a rapid speed.
And this number is still growing over time, and if this trend continues, the proportion of free users to VIP users of the drama "Fist Town Mountains and Rivers" will be a gratifying number.
There are a lot of people watching dramas online in Dragon Kingdom, but users will soon enter pirated websites and watch videos due to factors such as advertisements and membership fees.
Even if video platforms crack down on pirated video sites, they can't stop this trend.
Many new dramas have just been launched, and if the pirate website is fast enough, the same film and television resources can appear within a few minutes.
Even some dramas have not yet been launched and are in the approval stage, and the semi-finished products of the submitted version can be seen on the Internet.
What's even more outrageous is that the genuine website has not yet broadcast the follow-up episodes, and the vast pirated websites have already updated the follow-up episodes one step in advance.
As a result, the number of paid users of genuine websites is much lower than the number of free users.
At the same time, "Boxing Town, Mountains and Rivers", as a masterpiece of watermelon in the second half of this year, even if more anti-theft methods are used, it cannot prevent the emergence of piracy, and at most it will appear for a longer time.
And the road is one foot high, and the magic is one foot high.
Many pirated platforms naturally know how hot this drama will bring to their own platforms, so they have tried their best.
Even if the watermelon platform took precautions, only half an hour later, some netizens still found the resources of "Boxing Town Mountains and Rivers" on the pirated website.
However, even so, the number of users of the second episode of "Fist Town" has steadily increased!
Over time.
One hour after going live.
"The first episode exceeded 80 million views, setting a new one-hour record on the website! The second episode has already exceeded 30 million views! ”
As the programmer reported the data loudly, Fu Yiming, Guan Mingyuan, the members of the high-level directors of Alphabet, and all the staff of the watermelon video in the entire room cheered loudly!
With the platform of watermelon video alone, the first episode of "Fist Town Mountains and Rivers" exceeded 80 million in just one hour after it was launched!
It can be expected that with the passage of time, it will be easy for the first episode of this TV series to exceed 100 million and 200 million!
And when the whole episode is launched, the total number of views is one billion or billion, which is a very simple thing.
Of course, this number does not mean that billions of people have really watched the show in its entirety, but that the number of views of each episode adds up to reach this number.
This kind of data is already an astronomical amount in watermelon video, even if it is placed on websites with hundreds of millions of users such as Tenggua, Aigua, and Yougua, it is also among the best!
"Fire, fire!"
A director laughed loudly: "Judging from the current trend, this drama is another super hot drama, which can bring at least 10 million new users to Watermelon Video!" ”
Fu Yiming couldn't suppress the joy in his heart, and laughed: "It's really a masterpiece, none of those new dramas this year can compare to it!" ”
He beckoned and asked people to take out the celebration wine that had been prepared a long time ago and pour it for the people present one by one.
"Ladies and gentlemen, drink this cup and celebrate the watermelon video to the next level!"
Everyone looked at each other and smiled, raised their glasses, and drank down.
Putting down the cup and watching the curve representing the number of broadcasts on the screen rise in a straight line, constantly creating new peaks, Guan Mingyuan laughed heartily: "It seems that it is imperative to negotiate with Xuanyu." ”
Hearing his words, all the directors interjected and laughed.
"It makes sense, take Zhang Yang, the future of watermelon video can be expected!"
"Guan Dong, even if you make a move, ask for money for money, ask for people to give people, I fully support the board of directors!"
"It's best to be able to control Xuanyu, and at the same time, we must give Zhang Yang enough benefits and let him help us film!"
"Yes, it is said that money can make GUI grind, as long as he is willing to let us control Xuanyu and do things under our command, when the time comes, I will eat meat, and naturally have his broth to drink."
"This publicity can develop into the current scale, it is certainly not stupid, joining the alphabet beating group, the future benefits are immeasurable, everyone can rest assured."
......
The directors spoke freely, as if they controlled Xuanyu and allocated a bowl of broth, which had already given Zhang Yang enough face, and he didn't think that Zhang Yang would not lack this bowl of broth at all.
Everyone felt that as long as they proposed to take a stake in Xuanyu, Zhang Yang would definitely agree, only Fu Yiming's expression in the corner changed slightly.
Among these people, he is just a small role, he can't interject, and he has long reminded Zhang Yang, and he also knows that these people's opinions cannot be changed, once they really start to talk about the acquisition of shares, the relationship between the two sides will break down, and if you want to appear again at this time, I am afraid you can only find another way.
[Hey... It's time to prepare for the future! 】
He lamented in his heart.
Watermelon video has developed rapidly in the past two years, and the reasons for this are indispensable with the help of Zhang Yang.
Whether it is the summit plan or joining the Guapi Club, or the grand occasion of "Fist Town Mountains and Rivers" today, it is all with the help of Zhang Yang that the current achievements have been achieved.
Once the negotiation fails, Watermelon Video relies on 10% of the film and television share, and lacks a flamboyant show, and he can't tell what the future will look like.
He always had a bad premonition.
After all, the film and television market has changed too quickly in the past two years, and the original film and television trends that can cause the audience to carnival are very different.
Take a closer look at the Dragon Kingdom film and television industry in the past two years.
It seems that except for Zhang Yang, no drama has set off a boom, and the entire Dragon Kingdom film and television industry is prostrate at Zhang Yang's feet.
Zhang Yang is the sun in the sky, and no one in the whole Dragon Kingdom can compete for glory with it!
Thinking about it, he couldn't help but sigh softly.
In such a carnival moment, his sigh was very different.
Guan Mingyuan saw it and asked with a smile: "Yiming, why do you seem to be a little unhappy?" ”
Fu Yiming had already reflected with Guan Mingyuan that he knew what the other party thought, so he naturally wouldn't say what he thought at this time, but just shook his head and said, "It's nothing." ”
Guan Mingyuan was immersed in happiness and didn't think much about it.
"Tenggua doesn't know what's going on? Don't you have a way to find out? Why don't you ask now. ”
"I'm afraid not right now." Fu Yiming shook his head and said: "The "Fist Intent" over there has only been online for less than an hour, and the audience hasn't finished watching it yet, wait, at 12 o'clock in the evening, the data will slowly stabilize, and it will be more accurate at that time." ”
"Yes, that makes sense."
Guan Mingyuan shook the wine glass in his hand, a confident smile on his face.
"Then listen to you, and wait."
......
When the watermelon video fell into a carnival, the Tenggua video was also jubilant.
"Fist Intention" is the first transformation of the platform's self-made drama department, except for Sun Zhonghuai and Xu Le, other people in the self-made drama department also pay great attention to the performance of this TV series.
The investment in "Fist Intent" is as high as 700 million, and the whole drama has 36 episodes.
Because of Sun Zhonghuai's strict supervision and Xu Le's strict control on the set, the investment of 700 million yuan was not wasted at all.
Stealing money from them, or deliberately wasting them is almost completely eliminated!
In addition to the large amount of actors' salaries that must be spent, the rest of the funds for the whole show are completely spent!
The movie-level special effects are gorgeous, exquisite, and detailed, bringing the audience a shocking enjoyment of watching the drama.
Other props, scenes, and costumes are also completely borrowed from that chaotic era in history, and everything is extremely realistic.
Except for Xu Zikai, a small stain in the whole play, the other characters are all big-name actors.
Moreover, after Sun Zhonghuai's stern lesson, Xu Zikai also corrected his attitude in the later period and finally followed.
Coupled with Xu Le's strong directing ability, the whole drama is a sincere work no matter what aspect it is!
When watching the film internally, all the people who paid attention to this drama participated in the entire Tenggua video, and they were shocked after watching it.
Some people even shouted slogans that surpass "Dragon and Snake"!
Everyone knows the horror of "Dragon and Snake", and daring to shout such a slogan is enough to prove how much confidence Tenggua has in "Fist Intent".
"Fist Intent" was launched for one hour.
Looking at the playback curve that is about to soar to the clouds, everyone in Tenggua Video is happy, laughing loudly, and the ghost cries wolf.
"Mr. Sun, it's a success!"
Xu Le, who was in his 70s, was also in a carnival at this time, and he was extremely excited: ""Fist Intent" has succeeded! ”
"yes, it worked!"
Sun Zhonghuai sighed inexplicably.
With the huge number of users owned by Tenggua itself, "Fist Intent" was launched for one hour, and the first episode was played like a soaring rocket, breaking through the 200 million mark in one fell swoop!
"The First Evolution"
The number of paid users on demand for the second episode also easily exceeded 60 million!
Of all the TV series of Tenggua Video, one is counted as one, and no TV series has ever reached such a height!
It has become inevitable that "Fist Intent" will make history.
In the whole dragon country, the total number of paid users of Ai, Teng, and Yousangua alone has exceeded 540 million, and other free users are even more difficult to count.
The first episode of "Fist Intent" exceeded 200 million, which has accounted for most of the traffic of Tenggua video, and even Aigua and Yougua have many users who switch to Tenggua to watch this drama at this time.
Many of the top three video platforms in Dragon Kingdom are universal.
A large number of users often circulate around these three websites, and they will go to which one has a good drama to watch.
The reason for this phenomenon is because Sangua has stood at the top for too long, and the world only knows Sangua and does not pay much attention to other small video platforms.
At this point, if other small websites want to impact the position of Sangua, they must need one hot drama after another to rush into this circle of user circulation.
Even if you invest a lot of money like watermelon video, it is difficult to rush in.
The current broadcast data of the first episode of "Fist Intent" must have attracted a large part of the users of the other two, and the number of users attracted will inevitably continue to increase over time.
"Zhang Yang said that the blockbuster theory is really very reasonable."
Looking at the people who were caught in the carnival, Sun Zhonghuai and Xu Le celebrated for a while, and then hid next to each other to communicate.
"To be honest, although I called on Teng Gua to learn from him, I was a little uncertain at the time, I just felt that his words were very reasonable, but after watching the performance of "Fist Intent", I knew that what he said was really reasonable."
Sun Zhonghuai continued to sigh: "No matter what aspect of "Fist Intent", it pays attention to the big, the scene is big, the investment is big, the lineup is big, and even the publicity is bigger, and the result of this has also caused a big explosion in the current broadcast volume!" ”
"Who would have thought that such a young man would be right?" Xu Le also sighed: "Now all film and television companies are still sticking to the previous routines, and the entire Dragon Kingdom film and television circle is still the same except for Xuanyu and Tenggua." ”
"Times have changed, and the future will definitely be the era of blockbusters. It's just that when I think of the investment in "Fist Intent", my heart hurts a little now. ”
A TV series invests hundreds of millions, when has the Dragon Kingdom film and television circle appeared?
Although the return of "Fist Intent" is amazing enough, it will certainly not have a big return if there is no big investment.
Although "Fist Intent" is a national art drama, it also follows the national art level mentioned in Dragon and Snake, and various special effects cost a lot of money, not to mention that the background is arranged in that chaotic era, all kinds of JF melee and war scenes are all real money investment.
Thinking of the huge amount of investment, Sun Zhonghuai was also secretly dripping blood in his heart.
"Not necessarily." Xu Le thought for a while and said, "I think this set of theories is limited to the realm of fantasy. ”
"This type of film, without a big investment, you can't shoot a fantasy feeling, and other kinds of family ethics, youth idols and the like can actually be big with a small one."
"Why fantasy films used to be idol dramas, in fact, it was because the investment was too large, and the film and television companies did not dare to take risks, for fear that they would not receive a return if they invested in it, so most of the previous fantasy films were of that idol type."
"But it will be different in the future, with the birth of this kind of big fantasy film, if you want to get enough returns in the field of fantasy films, it is impossible to win the hearts of the audience without big investment."
"Yes."
Sun Zhonghuai agreed.
"Don't talk about this, at least the success of "Fist Intent" confirms his point of view, and if he shoots fantasy films in the future, he will just follow his blockbuster theory.
"Fist Intent" still has flaws, if the actor can be changed, and the war scenes and special effects are polished a little more exquisitely, maybe the effect will be better.
By the way, how about "Fist Town Mountains and Rivers"? ”
"There's no news yet."
Xu Le shook his head.
Not only does watermelon have acquaintances in Tenggua, but Tenggua also has acquaintances in watermelon, and all the video platforms in Dragon Country have acquaintances.
"The number of users of watermelon is there, no matter how you compare, "Fist Town Mountains and Rivers" is definitely inferior to "Fist Will" in terms of playback, mainly depending on the proportion of paying users on both sides."
"Then wait a little longer."
Sun Zhonghuai held a glass of champagne in his hand, took a sip lightly, and pondered: "Zhang Yang, this person is indeed amazing. I heard the news that the alphabet beat has ideas for Xuanyu, and Zhang Yang acquires Lotte and creates a fantasy video, and the two sides will definitely collapse, and when the time comes, Tenggua may have the opportunity to win over Zhang Yang. ”
He still remembers Zhang Yang's joining Tenggua.
Just filming a "Fist Intention" according to him has such a playback volume, which brings such a big benefit to Tenggua, if Zhang Yang himself joins, how terrifying will it be?
The thought of it made him extremely excited.
......
Just when the two websites were in a carnival, other video sites in the Dragon Kingdom also paid attention to the horror data of the two dramas!
Not to mention other video sites, just the helmsman of Aigua and Yougua heard the news from the people below, saying that their video platform had a big decrease in user traffic tonight, and they all hurriedly asked what happened.
When I learned that some of this reduced traffic went to Tenggua and part of it to watermelon, I was extremely surprised.
