After the single-day broadcast volume of "Chasing the Murderer in the White Night" soared to 150 million, it never went down again.

The plot of the whole drama is very compact, and the highlights of the two brothers "Guan Hongfeng" and "Guan Hongyu" pretending to each other continue from the beginning to the end.

Even in the last ending scene, it should have been his brother "Guan Hongfeng" who was arrested, but in the last shot, Fang Xing showed a meaningful smile in front of the camera.

Many viewers immediately thought that it may not be the elder brother "Guan Hongfeng" who was arrested in the end, but the younger brother "Guan Hongyu" after dropping the bag.

The plot of the brothers covering each other was tense until the last moment, which made the audience want to stop.

In the end, "Chasing the Murderer in the White Night" stabilized the throne of the single-day broadcast champion and continued until the last episode.

Although the broadcast volume of "The Lonely Suspect" is not low, it has been suppressed three days after the launch of "Chasing the Murderer in the White Night", and it has never been able to turn the tables.

In the end, "Chasing the Murderer in the White Night" became the ceiling of Pea Video's self-made drama with record-breaking results.

After the finale of "The Lonely Suspect", "Chasing the Murderer in the White Night" dominated the entire December broadcast volume.

Duration.

Taro Video has also prepared a drama, which was originally intended to cooperate with Penguin Video and snipe pea video's "Fog Theater".

So after the finale of "The Lonely Suspect", Taro Video released this suspense drama for broadcast.

It's just that after two days of broadcasting, the highest number of broadcasts in a single day was 40 million, and then there was no more.

As for sniping "Chasing the Murderer in the White Night", it is purely a joke.

Fang Xing's "Fog Theater" plan, after the success of the two dramas "The Darkling" and "Chasing the Murderer in the White Night", directly established the brand of "Fog Theater".

also because of the explosion of "Chasing the Murderer in the White Night", the number of VIP users of Pea Video has surged, and even began to threaten the status of Penguin Video's No. 1 video website.

……

Some people rejoice, and some people are sad.

Originally, among the three major video websites, Penguin Video ranked first.

Pea video pressed the taro video by a slight advantage and occupied the second position.

However, there is not much difference between the two websites.

The disadvantage of Taro Video is mainly that self-made dramas started late, and so far, the quality of self-made dramas is not as good as Pea Video, so it is at a disadvantage.

However, as long as the quality of Taro Video's self-made drama is raised, there is a good chance to threaten the second position of Pea Video.

However, now that Pea Video and Ark Culture have teamed up to produce two consecutive "Fog Theater" exclusive suspense dramas, which directly opened a gap in Pea Video's position, and even began to threaten the position of Penguin Video's No. 1 video website.

If the taro video wants to overtake, it is even more difficult.

The senior management of Taro Video is very distressed, and originally invested heavily in film and television companies to engage in self-made dramas, but self-made dramas have just improved a little, and they are ready to compete with Pea Video.

As a result, as soon as Fang Xing entered, he directly wiped out the battlefield.

In fact.

When Fang Xing and Pea Video were talking about cooperation, Taro Video also wanted to intervene.

The senior management of Taro Video once talked to Fang Xing and also offered conditions for cooperation.

It's just that the president of Taro Video does not have the same power to speak as Gong Jianbin as the chairman and president of Pea Video, which leads to the lack of courage of Taro Video, and the conditions offered are not as good as Pea Video, and finally missed "The Darkling" and "Chasing the Murderer in the White Night".

Moreover, Fang Xing formulated the "Fog Theater" topic, which was a great success, which was not only the success of one or two dramas, but also relied on this special theater in the future, which can retain a large number of VIP users.

In the current video website market, the era of incrementality is over.

After all, the users of video websites have been developed similarly, and even many viewers will open VIPs on multiple video platforms.

Therefore, the cake has basically been made to the maximum.

Next is the stock era.

In the stock era, it depends on who can retain VIP users more.

If you want to retain VIP users, what do you rely on?

You can only rely on content.

If it is an incremental era, you can also rely on publicity to attract new users and increase the number of users.

However, in the era of stock, there are fewer and fewer new users, and when it comes to fighting for stock, content is crucial.

Fang Xing brought not only two excellent TV series to Pea Video, but also the brand of "Fog Theater".

The brand of the thematic theater has been played out, forming a word-of-mouth effect, greatly increasing user stickiness, and has won half of it.

Of course, if there is only the brand of "Fog Theater", but there is no new suspense drama broadcast, it will not work.

Therefore, before "Chasing the Murderer in the White Night" was broadcast, Gong Jianbin went to Pea Film and Television for a meeting, and vigorously invested in suspense dramas in the next two years.

Gong Jianbin even called Fang Xing in person to ask if there were any sequels to "The Darkling" and "Chasing the Murderer in the White Night".

Fang Xing's answer was that "The Darkling" has a sequel, but it will not be filmed in the short term.

For series, it is best to precipitate a sequel for a period of time, and the more appropriate time is to have a sequel a year, which can form a long-term effect.

Therefore, even if "Darkling 2" is to be filmed, it will be next year.

However, the Misty Theater needs suspense dramas to take over, and at least one suspense drama every quarter can ensure the popularity of this thematic theater.

Gong Jianbin hopes that Ark Culture can continue to prepare for the filming of a suspense drama as a special drama of the Fog Theater in the first quarter of next year.

Fang Xing agreed for the time being, but did not give the exact time.

In order to speed up the progress of the cooperation between Pea Video and Ark Culture, Gong Jianbin urged the signing of a share transfer contract.

Ark Culture officially invested in Pea Video and obtained 20% of the shares, becoming the second largest shareholder.

The day after the contract was signed.

Fang Xing held a high-level meeting of Ark Culture to discuss the company's next steps.

Zhang Yigao naturally participated in the meeting.

Since the success of "The Darkling", Zhang Yigao is now in high spirits.

Don't look at the broadcast of "The Darkling", which was pressed by "The Lonely Suspect" throughout the whole process, but it was also a hit drama with an average broadcast volume of more than 100 million.

And the bean sprouts network has a score of 8.2 points, which can be said to be popular and popular.

More importantly, "The Darkling" was directed by him alone, although Fang Xing is the producer, the filming process was basically completed independently by him and the crew.

It can be said that "The Darkling" is currently the pinnacle of his directorial career.

After "The Darkling" became popular, Zhang Yigao no longer remembered how many film and television companies approached him, hoping to invest in him for filming, and even prepare the crew, just waiting for him to go over and get the guide.

Not only that, many film and television companies even offer a 5% director share.

In the film and television industry, famous directors can get a share when they take on dramas.

The specific division depends on the specific situation.

After all, different dramas have different investments.

For the same director, the sharing ratio of A-level dramas and S+-level dramas is definitely different.

As long as you can get a share, it means that you already have a status in the director circle.

Zhang Yigao has been working in the crew for almost ten years, and he dreams of getting the guide tube again.

Because of that experience, he knows how difficult it is to direct the industry.

In this industry, once it hits the streets, it is difficult to have a second chance.

Zhang Yigao was lucky, when Ark Culture was founded, he joined the company, and then followed Fang Xing to shoot "Wulin Gaiden".

Since then, six hit dramas have been filmed along the way.

He had the opportunity to get the opportunity to shoot the ancient puppet "Tang Fenghua" alone.

In fact, "Tang Fenghua" has become a small hit.

There are also film and television companies that are willing to invest in him and continue to make ancient puppets.

After all, the theme of ancient puppets is very safe, and it is not easy to shoot badly, and as long as it is not so bad that it is particularly amazing, there will still be viewers watching it.

For him, if he is willing to play the safety card, he can continue to take over the scenes of ancient puppets and keep filming, not necessarily popular, but at least there has always been filming.

However, in the end, he did not accept the investment of those film and television companies, and stayed in Ark Culture, and finally waited for the script of "The Darkling".

After "Tang Fenghua", although some film and television companies are willing to invest in him to make dramas, there will be no director's share.

After all, it's just a small fire of an ancient puppet, and it doesn't prove the director's ability, so it's impossible for the director to share.

"The Darkling" is different.

This kind of suspenseful criminal investigation drama is a great test for the director.

After this drama became popular, the film and television companies that originally did not give him a share have offered a share and invited him to film.

There was even a period of time when Zhang Yigao was a little floating, and every day he had constant dinners, all of which were invitations from the CEOs of major film and television companies.

He has become a hot figure in the directorial circle.

Ark Culture has a relatively lenient contract with him, and it is easy to terminate the contract if he wants to leave.

Even if he doesn't cancel the contract, he wants to go outside to pick up the play, it's okay.

Of course, when you go outside to take over the play, you need to share the account with Ark Culture in terms of the director's income.

However, Zhang Yigao has experienced a long period of low period, and he knows very well that he is now sought after, but as long as he pounces on a drama, these people who revolve around him will immediately disperse.

Maybe relying on the aftermath of "The Darkling", one or two more dramas can be added, but if there is no hot drama in the future, it will still be slowly abandoned by the market.

Therefore, he finally stayed firmly in the Ark culture.

Because Fang Xing said a long time ago that "The Darkling" would be made into a series.

He'd rather do nothing and wait for Darkling 2.

"Since yesterday, we, Ark Culture, have been the second largest shareholder of Pea Video. The response of the Misty Theater is very good, so in the first quarter of next year, a suspense drama is needed to take over the Misty Theater. Fang Xing released the main discussion content of the meeting.

According to the plan of the Fog Theater, a suspense drama will be selected for broadcast every quarter.

Of course, if there are more suspense dramas to be broadcast, the number can also be increased.

Moreover, the Misty Theater is not limited to the drama of Ark Culture, but can also be a project of other film and television companies.

Of course, in order to ensure that it is an exclusive broadcast of the Fog Theater, Ark Culture and Pea Video will invest and ensure that they get the initiative of the project.

When Zhang Yigao heard this, he took the initiative to say: "Director Fang, I'm ready, I can shoot "Darkling 2". ”

Fang Xing shook his head and denied: "The series "Darkling" will precipitate for a period of time and then consider it at the end of next year. ”

The series can't be filmed too intensively, because the interval is too short, and the audience will lose the freshness and then start to feel boring.

So it's a good choice to make a sequel every year or two.

"Boss, what are we going to shoot? Or let Pea Video arrange its own suspense drama. Qiao Yinghong asked.

Fang Xing thought about it for a while and said: "The Misty Theater is a special topic that I founded, so Ark Culture still has to shoot one or two Misty Theater feature plays every year. ”

"Does the boss have a plan?" Qiao Yinghong had been with Fang Xing for the longest time, so she had already guessed that Fang Xing might have been prepared.

Fang Xing nodded and replied, "I have a new script here, called "Residual Sin", and I can start preparation." ”

As soon as Zhang Yigao heard that there was a new script, his heart beat wildly.

He really wanted to shoot it, but it was not clear who would shoot the script.

If Fang Xing planned to shoot it himself, it would be difficult for him to rob it.

He hesitated for a moment and asked, "Is the boss planning to shoot it himself?" I can go back to the crew as an assistant director. ”

Fang Xing said with a smile: "You have become a great director, and you will be my assistant director, this is too condescending." ”

Zhang Yigao hurriedly waved his hand: "How could it be." I learned a lot from my boss. ”

In fact, Fang Xing was ten years younger than him, shook his head and smiled: "It's useless if you want to, the company wants to maximize everyone's ability."

"So, I plan to shoot this script for you, and the preliminary estimate is that our company and Pea Video will invest together.

"You can start building your own team, and the company will work with you on the project.

"Of course, you have to be willing to take it.

"You take the script back and read it first, and give me an answer after reading it, if you want to shoot it, start preparations, if you don't like the script very much, then we'll discuss it."

Zhang Yigao nodded hurriedly: "You don't have to read it, the script from the boss, there is nothing that is not popular, I will shoot anything." ”

"Let's read the script first. Remind me, the casting requirements of the male protagonist are quite special, and I wrote them all in the character introduction. Fang Xing smiled and handed him the script of "Residual Sin".

"Residual Sin" is an adaptation, and the starring role on earth is Zhang Yishan, so this drama can't find a traffic star to act.

Zhang Yigao nodded in agreement.

What he just said, although there is a suspicion of compliment, but so far, there is indeed no drama produced by Ark Culture that is not popular.

If you count his Xiaohuo's "Tang Fenghua", there are already nine popular dramas produced by Ark Culture.

After the meeting.

Zhang Yigao held the script and hurriedly went back to read the script.

After seeing half of it, he knew that the filming of this drama was a small fire, and as for whether it could be a big hit, no one could guarantee this.

Therefore, Zhang Yigao only saw half of it, so he immediately called and began to contact the crew team he had worked with, and first set up the crew team that he was used to.

……

Ark Culture is in full swing and has begun to arrange suspense dramas for the first quarter of next year for the "Fog Theater".

Several of the top executives on Penguin Video began to sigh.

Originally, Ark Culture was a Penguin Video is an in-depth cooperative relationship.

Before Fang Xing signed a contract with Pea Video, Penguin Video could still make an appointment with Fang Xing for an interview.

If I had a little more courage at that time, maybe the brand "Fog Theater" would be the signature of Penguin Video.

It's just that there is no regret medicine to take in this world.

The most uncomfortable is Li Xueying, vice president of Penguin Video.

In the past three years, Li Xueying has been personally responsible for the dramas of Ark Culture.

Because of the continuous explosion of Ark Culture, her status in the company is getting higher and higher, and she has even become the best candidate for the next president.

However, now that Ark Culture has turned its head to invest in pea videos, she has lost the biggest help all of a sudden.

If it was her who was in charge at the beginning, she would definitely offer the best conditions and leave Fang Xing behind.

Moreover, it was not left when "Chasing the Murderer in the White Night", but earlier, when "Dark Glory" was not broadcast, Fang Xing should have been asked to inject capital into Penguin Video and become a shareholder.

It's a pity that she doesn't have so much power, and the top management of the group doesn't have that much courage.
