In the blink of an eye, it's time for the payment of manuscripts again. It has been more than 20 days since the opening ceremony.

It can be said that Meng Wen's harvest during this period is still very good.

Although the remuneration was only paid in the second half of November, it was more than 1.4 million. After deducting taxes, 1.26 million was finally received.

In the second half of November, sales of the first part of "Amorous Swordsman Ruthless Sword" began to decline, and only 80,000 copies were sold. After the outbreak of the first half of the month, sales of the second and third parts are still strong. 670,000 copies were still sold in half a month, but 400,000 copies were sold in the first half of the week, and only 270,000 copies were sold in the second half of the week. According to this trend, it is estimated that sales will have to decline this month. It's good to be able to sell three or four hundred thousand copies in a whole month.

The studio was also officially registered, and the current formal employees are Meng Wen and Ouyang Die. Everything else is considered temporary.

In terms of the crew, after a week in the early stage, it has almost run in, and it has initially entered the formality. So far, 5 episodes of the online drama have been filmed, and this is mainly due to the waste of time in the early run-in. Now it is basically guaranteed that one episode can be filmed in two to three days, and strive to complete the filming of the first 10 episodes before New Year's Day.

Although 5 episodes have been filmed, Meng Wen still has not uploaded it on Crooked Dog. Meng Wen decided to abandon the traditional TV practice of two episodes a day and one episode a week of low-cost online dramas in the current market, and packaged and uploaded them as a whole after the filming was completed, so as to avoid the pain of chasing dramas. Opens up a whole new playback mode.

However, in order to get more revenue, Meng Wen decided to split the 20 episodes of "Waste Wood Brothers" into two seasons, and the first season was broadcast on New Year's Day, which is the first ten episodes. As for the next ten episodes, they are going to be broadcast again after the New Year.

At present, Meng Wen has negotiated contracts with two advertisers, namely Pepsi and Nikon cameras. You must know that "Emma" and "Feng Xiaobai" in the play have a lot of shots holding cameras. As for Pepsi, it's better to say, as long as the market lets the characters in the show drink something.

Today, Pepsi has replaced Coca-Cola as the world's first cola brand. Nikon cameras, on the other hand, are in second place among global camera brands, second only to Canon. The cooperation model given by the two companies is the same, divided into two schemes.

One is a buyout, no matter how many clicks there are, a one-time payment of 500,000.

The second is the guaranteed plus commission. 100,000 clicks below 10 million clicks, and 1 yuan more for every 100 additional clicks. In other words, Meng Wen has to guarantee 50 million clicks in order to get the first buyout price of 500,000 yuan.

If it were another new director, I would definitely choose the first cooperation model. After all, the cost of the entire online drama is less than 500,000, which still includes the equipment that has been purchased and can be reused in the future. Now an advertising contract is 500,000. As long as you negotiate two or three more contracts plus a website share, you can easily earn two million.

The second option requires more than 40 million clicks to earn more than the first one, which is too risky. You must know that there are only a dozen or so TV series with more than 100 million hits every year. Not to mention the low-cost production zuò episodes of only one or twenty minutes per episode. At present, there are only a few self-made online dramas on the market with more than 10 million, and they are all long dramas with thirty or forty episodes, forty or fifty episodes, and there is no one with more than 100 million episodes.

It's a pity that Meng Wen is not one of those rookie directors, of course, if it were those rookie directors, the manufacturer would not have come up with such a high buyout price. You must know that in the previous life, "Waste Wood Brothers" still achieved more than 100 million hits in six days under the simultaneous attack of several other online dramas, not to mention that in the current environment where the competition is not so fierce. Meng Wen didn't choose the second option unless he was stupid?

This choice also aroused the doubts of others, especially Ouyang Die. However, who called the company was Meng Wen's, and in the end, Meng Wen really couldn't explain it, and the sentence "I have money, I am willing" blocked everyone's mouths.

Originally, there were two manufacturers who wanted to cooperate, but Meng Wen suspected that the bid was too low and refused on the spot. After all, if there are too many advertisements in a play, it will also cause criticism from the audience. Of course, if the manufacturer can give enough extra weight, then that's another story.

And what surprised Meng Wen the most was the income from his songs.

The income from the song was definitely unexpected by Meng Wen. When Meng Wen saw the 3.5 million in his card, he was instantly stunned. I thought someone had made the money to the wrong account? I hurriedly called and asked, only to find out that it was money from the crooked dog music platform. These turned out to be the proceeds of singing "Sailor" and "Grateful Heart" by himself?

Meng Wenzhi has not paid much attention to crooked dog music since the last boot ceremony after passing those three songs. When I opened the background account, I found a series of red system notifications.

"Congratulations, Crooked Dog Music has been promoted to a fourth-level singer. Currently ranked 128427, please keep up the good work. ”

"Congratulations, Crooked Dog Music has been promoted to Level 5 Lyricist. It is currently ranked 96826, please keep up the good work. ”

"Congratulations, Crooked Dog Music has been promoted to Level 5 Composer. It is currently ranked 117422, so please keep up the good work. ”

............

"Congratulations, Crooked Dog Music has been promoted to a seventh-level singer. It is currently ranked 2761st, please keep up the good work. ”

......

"Congratulations, Crooked Dog Music has been promoted to Grade 8 Lyricist. It is currently ranked 1032nd, please keep up the good work. ”

"Congratulations, Crooked Dog Music has been promoted to Grade 8 Composer. It is currently ranked 967th, so please keep up the good work. ”

Meng Wen hurriedly found his bill. "Sailor" has 27 million listens. The number of downloads reached 13 million. "Grateful Heart" has 32 million auditions, and the number of downloads has reached an astonishing 22 million.

You must know that the current network environment is different from the network environment in the previous life, and the music in the previous life is said to be played casually on the Internet. And now that piracy has basically been eliminated on the Internet, there are only three ways for people to listen to songs, either to buy records, or to pay for download on the official website of the artist's company, or to download it on the crooked dog music platform.

Of course it's also cheap to download a song, 0. 2 yuan for a song, and the crooked dog platform and individuals get 0 each. $1. But I can't stand the large amount, and the number of downloads of these two songs alone has reached 35 million, that is, Meng Wen got 3.5 million yuan just by scoring achievements.

Of course, in addition to the 3.5 million real income, Meng Wen also received a bumper harvest in honor. With 64.5 million singer experience, he was directly promoted to a seventh-level singer.

And other lyrics and music composed by Meng Wen "Dusk", "Notepad", "Betrayal", "Time", "Alive" and "Ambition in My Chest" have each been listened to more than 10 million. "Ambition in My Chest", "Twilight", and "Alive" have also exceeded 10 million downloads. Of course, the reason why the number of downloads of "Alive" is so high is partly because of the drive of the other two songs and the popularity of the "Boot Ceremony" video.

I believe that with the passage of time, it is not a problem for "Notepad" and "Betrayal" to have more than 10 million downloads.

"Top Ambition in My Chest" has 23 million auditions and 12 million downloads, "Dusk" has 26 million auditions and 11 million downloads, "Alive" has 20 million auditions and 10 million downloads, "Notepad" has 21 million auditions and 9 million downloads, "Selling" has 19 million auditions and 8 million downloads, and so far, "Time" has 11 million auditions and 4 million downloads.

Meng Wen relied on a whopping 1. With 1.4 billion experience points, he will be directly promoted to level 8 lyricist and level 8 composer. Although Meng Wen's singer level is only one level behind the lyrics and composition levels. However, the difference is huge. Meng Wen's seventh-level singer is currently only ranked more than 2,700 with 64.5 million experience points, while his lyrics are indeed 1. 1.4 billion XP points go directly to 1032. The composition is even more by virtue of 1. 1.4 billion XP points directly into the top 1000.

This isn't an annual ranking, it's the total ranking of everyone in the world in recent decades.

It can be said that such a stunned result directly pushed Meng Wen to the forefront. More and more people in the entertainment industry began to pay attention to Meng Wenlai, and some doubts began to be loud......

In fact, as a lyricist and composer in the top 100 at present. Who hasn't written a dozen or even dozens of popular classic songs. The strange thing is that Meng Wen writes lyrics and music too frequently, too fast, and almost every classic.

You must know that like other lyricists and composers, it takes years, decades, or even decades to make classic songs, and there are dozens or even hundreds of ordinary songs in between. In other words, those classic songs made by other lyricists and composers are selected from these dozens or even hundreds of songs?

In contrast, Meng Wen's behavior is a bit suspicious?
