On January 24, 2013, there was still more than half a month before the Spring Festival.

The second season of "Waste Wood Brothers" has also been completely filmed, Meng Wen invited everyone to have a casual meal, and also announced that the crew of "Waste Wood Brothers" has come to an end for the time being. The money that should be distributed was sent to everyone, and everyone was given bonuses ranging from 1,000 to 10,000.

Hong Weide School is also on summer vacation, and he went back to his hometown directly after filming.

And because Wang Qiang and Li Longteng didn't know what to do in the future, after Meng Wen symbolically asked, they directly signed a contract with Meng Wen's studio and became a member of the studio. Anyway, the conditions are very good, much stronger than before, and the two basically have the same idea. After this period of life, neither of them wanted to go back to their previous life of being hungry and full.

Han Xinchao saw that Wang Qiang and Li Longteng signed a contract with Meng Wen's studio, and also pulled his master Wang Lianghou to find Meng Wen together, and also wanted to stay in the studio. Han Xinchao's idea is very simple, in his cognition, Meng Wen is a thigh, and all he can do now is to hug this thigh tightly.

Meng Wen was a little surprised to see that Han Xinchao and Wang Lianghou also wanted to sign a contract with his studio, but he still agreed happily. The skills of the master Wang Lianghou are really good, and Han Xinchao is also a young man with a lot of ideas.

With the addition of these two people, Meng Wen's future plans for the studio are slowly changing. The previous idea of simply operating the film and television rights of his own novels has long been outdated.

Now there are actors, lighting, sets, and photography, plus the assistant director He Hai and himself as a screenwriter. If you make a post-production product, He Hai is completely competent, after all, he is also a high-achieving student of Chinese opera, and if he does post-production of movies, he may have almost no experience, but it is no problem to post-produce online dramas.

Maybe it's time for me to prepare for the filming of the next web series. Of course, it's just a preparation to give everyone in the studio an expectation. The next step will be at least a few months away, and the frequency is too high to arouse suspicion.

Of course, although Meng Wen is not going to shoot an online series in the near future, several employees of the studio are not idle.

Photographer Wang Lianghou and set designer Han Xinchao are also well-known in the circle because of the filming of "Waste Wood Brothers". Many units or individuals have come to the two to do private work, but because the two have signed a contract with the studio, they have been unsure whether the studio has any plans for the next step, and they are afraid that they will delay the studio's filming tasks and it is difficult to explain to Meng Wen. So I didn't dare to pick up more, but occasionally picked up the important ones to do one or two times.

It is normal for this kind of industry to do private work, after all, it is impossible for the studio to have tasks all the time, like the average studio shoots one or two dramas a year, and the photographer is free most of the time. Generally, more mature studios have their own schedules, and announce the work plan for the second half of the year at least half a year in advance. This is mainly to cater to the arrangement of actors' schedules, after all, many actors need to be hired externally. In this way, the people behind the scenes can also know their respective task time, and they can pick up private work during the task time.

But because Meng Wen's studio is newly established, he has never made a plan, and Meng Wen has never thought about doing it, so he has taken it step by step. Now Meng Wen said that he will no longer shoot online dramas for the time being, at least in the past few months, there are no tasks, and the two of them are also relieved to boldly start taking on other private jobs.

Although Meng Wen said that he would no longer shoot online dramas for the time being, Wang Lianghou and Han Xinchao had no intention of leaving the studio at all. One is that the two parties have signed a contract, and the other is that the two of them take on private work in the name of the studio, and the remuneration will be about 50% higher than that of their own work, and the fool will leave?

As for Li Longteng and Wang Qiang, there is no need to worry. The two of them became completely popular because of "Waste Wood Brothers", and during this period of time, they received seven or eight film appointments and advertising invitations.

In particular, Li Longteng, who was nicknamed "Chai Di" by netizens, received an advertising invitation from Pepsi, one of the world's top 500 companies. Pepsi Studio has made an annual theme web short film on the "waste firewood phenomenon", in which "Chai Di" Xu Yi is the protagonist. In order to obtain the authorization of the role of "Xu Yi" in the play "Waste Wood Brothers", Pepsi Studio paid Meng Wen an additional 300,000 yuan in role license fees.

In fact, the idea of Pepsi Studio this time was put forward by Meng Wen, and at the beginning, Meng Wen did not figure out the meaning of the idea of guò to make money, and it was completely provided for free. Who knew that Pepsi Studio was so law-conscious, and in the end it had to spend money to buy the role authorization in Meng Wen's drama. How can there be a reason to give money for nothing, Meng Wen pretended to be reluctant to accept it.

This matter has to start from the day when "Waste Wood Brothers" clicked 200 million some time ago. On the day that "Waste Wood Brothers" clicked more than 200 million, Yang Xiu, the marketing manager of Pepsi Studio, came to Meng Wen's studio. In addition to congratulating a few words on the gratifying results of "Waste Wood Brothers", he began to complain to Meng Wen about his hardships and talked about how it was not easy for him.

Meng Wen was a little strange at first, it stands to reason that the number of hits of "Waste Wood Brothers" is so high this time, as Pepsi Cola, which has a lot of product placement in the play, he should be happy.

After listening to it for a long time, Meng Wen understood that Pepsi Cola did play a great role in sales during this period of time because of its cooperation with "Waste Wood Brothers", but it corresponded to the payment of excess advertising costs.

Originally, compared to the increase in sales, this advertising cost was nothing. It's a pity that Yang Xiu, as a marketing manager, only has the right to use the quota of less than one million, which means that if the quota of an advertisement exceeds 1 million, he must report to the higher level and apply.

Previously, Yang Xiu planned to spend 500,000 yuan for advertising placement in "Waste Wood Brothers", but Meng Wen had to calculate it by the number of clicks. According to the click commission, if you want to exceed 1 million, it means that you must have more than 100 million clicks.

In reality, there is not a single online drama with more than 100 million views, and there are only a few that can exceed 50 million views, and they are all online dramas with ultra-long episodes. Yang Xiu and his marketing department agreed that only 10 episodes of "Waste Wood Brothers" could not exceed 100 million views.

Therefore, in order to save trouble, Yang Xiu did not report to his superiors. After the release of "Waste Wood Brothers", the number of hits rose like chicken blood, and it exceeded 200 million in just half a month. In fact, when "Waste Wood Brothers" just passed 100 million views, Yang Xiu realized that something was going to happen, and hurriedly told his superiors about the situation. The leader didn't have a heart to see Yang Xiu, and the effect of this cooperation was also good, but he just gave a verbal criticism.

Yang Xiu went back and wrote a check, so he didn't care about it anymore. It is estimated that after the outbreak of "Waste Wood Brothers" in the early stage, the number of hits in the later stage should not rise so fast, even if it rises to 200 million before the end of the month, Yang Xiu is not afraid, anyway, the leader has already criticized it.
