fantasy blockbuster era

Chapter 176 Carnival
8pm exactly.

With the official launch of the first and second episodes of "Fist Town Mountain and River", a large number of users poured into Watermelon Video.

"expect!"

"It's finally on!"

"Dragon Snake old fans come to report!"

"Invincible Divine Machine!"

"Warmly celebrate the launch of Zhang Yang's new martial arts drama!"

In the first minute of the broadcast, countless bullet screens flashed across in an instant!
In addition to the original users of the platform, among these users, there are also many temporary IPs.

Since the first episode is free to play, the number of bullet screens in the entire first episode rose rapidly in less than 5 minutes.

In the first minute, there were tens of thousands of posts, but in a blink of an eye, they broke through hundreds of thousands, and broke through one million.

At the same time, Xigua Video’s background observation data shows that the number of views of the first episode has continued to rise since the launch. One million is just the beginning, and it exceeds [-] million every minute, and is approaching nine digits.

If Fu Yiming had not upgraded the server in advance, such a huge number of users would have surged in such a short period of time. With Xigua Video's original server, it would have been unavoidable that it would be laggy.

"The broadcast data of the first episode has exceeded 5000 million! The broadcast volume of the second episode is also rising rapidly, and will soon exceed 1000 million!"

Data Monitoring Center.

A programmer looked at the computer screen in front of him and exclaimed!
In less than half an hour after the launch of "Fist of Mountains and Rivers", the number of views of the first episode has exceeded 5000 million. This number is equivalent to the total statistics of Xigua Video's original free users and VIP users, and this number is still rising.

This also shows that with the help of "Fist to Conquer Mountains and Rivers", Xigua Video continues to introduce new users from the outside world. No matter which platform these users are on, they have all entered the Xigua Video platform at this time.

With the premiere of "Dragon Snake 1", Watermelon Video has at least increased its user base by nearly [-] million.

It is foreseeable that the broadcast of "Fist Town Mountain and River" will surely bring a new round of growth frenzy to Xigua Video.

At the same time, some fast-watching users have already clicked on the second episode.

Although, the second episode needs to be a website member to watch.

But even so, the number of views of the second episode continued to rise, breaking through the tens of millions mark at a fast speed.

And this number is still increasing with time. If this trend continues, the ratio of free users to VIP users of the show "Fist Town Mountain and River" will be a gratifying number.

There are a lot of people watching dramas online in Longguo, but due to advertisements, membership fees and other factors, users will soon enter pirated websites and watch videos.

Even if video platforms crack down hard on pirated video websites, they cannot stop this trend.

Many new dramas have just launched, and if the pirated websites are fast enough, the same film and television resources can appear within a few minutes.

There are even some dramas that have not yet been launched and are in the approval stage. You can see the semi-finished products of the review version on the Internet.

What's even more outrageous is that before the genuine website broadcasts the follow-up episodes, the powerful pirated website has already updated the follow-up episodes one step ahead of time.

This phenomenon results in the number of paid users of genuine websites being far lower than the number of free users.

At the same time, "Fist of Mountains and Rivers" is a highly valued work of Watermelon in the second half of this year. No matter how many anti-theft methods are used, it will not be able to prevent the emergence of pirated versions. At most, it will prolong the appearance time.

And the higher the Tao is, the higher the demon is.

Naturally, many pirated platforms also know how popular this show will be and how much traffic it will bring to their own platforms, so they have exhausted all their skills.

Even though the watermelon platform was well-prepared, only half an hour later, some netizens still discovered the resources of "Fist Town Mountain and River" on a pirated website.

Even so, the number of users of the second episode of "Fist Town Mountain and River" is still rising steadily!
as time flows.

One hour after going online.

"The number of views of the first episode exceeded 8000 million, setting a record high in the website's one-hour history! The number of views of the second episode has already exceeded 3000 million!"

As the programmer reported the data loudly, Fu Yiming, Guan Mingyuan, the senior directors of Alphabet, and all the staff of Watermelon Video in the room cheered loudly!
With the platform of Xigua Video alone, the first episode of "Fist of Mountains and Rivers" broke through 8000 million in just one hour after its launch!
It can be predicted that with the passage of time, it will be easy for the first episode of this TV series to break through 2 million or [-] million views!

And when the complete series is online, it will be very simple to have a total playback volume of one billion or billions.

Of course, this number does not mean that there are billions of people who have watched all of this drama, but that the number of broadcasts of each episode can be added up to reach this number.

This kind of data is already an astronomical figure on Watermelon Video, even if it is placed on websites with hundreds of millions of users such as Tenggua, Aigua, and Yougua, it is still among the best!
"Big fire, big fire!"

A director laughed loudly: "Judging from the current trends, this drama is another super popular drama and can bring at least tens of millions of new users to Xigua Video!"

Fu Yiming couldn't suppress the joy in his heart, he laughed and said, "It's really a masterpiece, none of the new dramas this year can compare to it!"

He beckoned, and asked someone to bring out the celebration wine that had been prepared earlier, and poured them one by one for the people present.

"Dear directors, drink this cup to the brim, and celebrate the next level of watermelon video!"

Everyone looked at each other and smiled, toasted and drank one after another.

Putting down his cup, Guan Mingyuan laughed heartily as he watched the curve representing the amount of playback on the screen rise in a straight line, constantly creating new peaks: "It seems that it is imperative to negotiate with Xuanyu."

Hearing his words, all the directors interrupted and laughed.

"It makes sense, win Zhang Yang, and Watermelon Video will have a bright future!"

"Director Guan, just make a move. If you want money, give money, or ask someone to give, I will fully support it on the board of directors!"

"It's best to control Xuanyu, and at the same time give enough benefits to Zhang Yang and let him help us film!"

"Yes, it is said that money can make GUI push the wheel. As long as he is willing to let us control Xuanyu and work under our command, then, when I eat meat, I will naturally have his broth to drink."

"It's definitely not stupid for Zhang Yang to develop into the current scale. Joining the Alphabet Beat Group will bring incalculable benefits in the future. Everyone can rest assured."

The directors spoke freely, as if controlling Xuanyu, and distributed a bowl of broth, which had already given Zhang Yang enough face, and they never thought that Zhang Yang would not be short of the bowl of broth.

Everyone felt that as long as he proposed to invest 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 and cannot get in the conversation. He has warned Zhang Yang a long time ago and knows that these people's opinions cannot be changed. Once they really start talking about stock acquisitions and the relationship between the two parties breaks down, if the situation like this happens again, The grand occasion, I am afraid I can only find another way out.

[Hey, I'm getting ready for the future! 】

He lamented in his heart.

Watermelon Video has developed rapidly in the past two years, and Zhang Yang's help is indispensable to investigate the reasons for it.

Whether it is the summit plan, joining the Guapi Club, or today's grand occasion of "Fist Fights Mountains and Rivers", all of them have achieved their current achievements with the help of Zhang Yang.

Once the negotiation fails, Xigua Video relies on 10% of the film and television share, and lacks publicity to carry the big show. He can't tell what the future will look like.

He always has a bad feeling.

After all, the film and television market has changed too fast in the past two years, and the original film and television trends that can arouse audience carnival are quite different.

Carefully study the Longguo film and television industry in the past two years.

It seems that apart from Zhang Yang, no other drama has set off an upsurge, and the entire Longguo film and television circle is prostrate at Zhang Yang's feet.

Zhang Yang is the sun in the sky, no one in the entire Dragon Kingdom can compete with him!

Thinking about it, he couldn't help but sigh slightly.

At such a carnival moment, his sigh was extraordinarily different.

Guan Mingyuan saw it, and asked with a smile, "Yiming, why do you look a little unhappy?"

Fu Yiming had already reflected with Guan Mingyuan and knew what the other party was thinking. Naturally, he would not express his own thoughts at this time. He just shook his head and said, "It's nothing."

Guan Mingyuan was immersed in happiness, so he didn't think much about it.

"I don't know what's going on with Tenggua? Don't you have a way to find out? Why don't you ask now."

"I'm afraid it won't work now." Fu Yiming shook his head and said, "The "Fisting Intent" over there has only been online for less than an hour, and the audience hasn't finished watching it yet. Wait a minute. At 12 o'clock in the evening, the data will gradually stabilize. , it will be more accurate then.”

"Well, that makes sense."

Guan Mingyuan shook the wine glass in his hand, with a confident smile on his face.

"Then listen to you and wait a little longer."

While Xigua Video was in a state of carnival, Tenggua Video was also in jubilation.

"Fist" is the first transformation of the platform's self-produced drama department. In addition to Sun Zhonghuai and Xu Le, other people in the self-produced drama department are also paying close attention to the performance of this TV series.

The investment of "Fisting Intention" is as high as 7 million, and the whole drama has 36 episodes. Before Zhang Yang appeared, such a large investment scale can be called the first drama of Dragon Kingdom!
Due to the strict supervision of Sun Zhonghuai and the strict control of Xu Le on the set, not a single penny of the 7 million yuan investment was wasted.

What kind of tricks, stealing filming funds from it, or deliberately wasting it is almost completely eliminated!

Except for the large amount of actors' remuneration that must be paid, the other funds of the whole show are completely spent!

The movie-level special effects are even more gorgeous, exquisite, and detailed, bringing the audience a shocking enjoyment of watching the drama.

Other props, scenes, costumes, etc. are also completely drawn from that chaotic era in history, and all requirements are extremely realistic.

Except for Xu Zikai, a small stain in the whole play, the other characters are all big-name actors from all walks of life.

Moreover, after Sun Zhonghuai's severe lesson, Xu Zikai also corrected his attitude later, and finally followed suit.

Coupled with Xu Le's strong directing ability, the whole drama can be called a sincere work in every aspect!

When watching the film internally, all the people who are concerned about the show in the entire Tenggua video participated in it, and they were shocked after watching it.

Some people even shouted the slogan of surpassing "Dragon Snake"!

Everyone knows the horror of "Dragon Snake", daring to shout such a slogan is enough to prove how much confidence Tenggua has in "Fist Intent".

"Fist Intent" was online for one hour.

Looking at the play volume curve that is about to soar to the cloud, everyone in Tenggua Video is happy, laughing loudly, and howling like ghosts.

"Mr. Sun, you succeeded!"

Xu Le, who was in his 70s, was also in the carnival at this time. He said excitedly: ""Fist Intention" is a success!"

"Yes, it worked!"

Sun Zhonghuai was inexplicable.

Relying on the huge number of users owned by Tenggua, "Fist Intent" was launched within an hour, and the number of views of the first episode was like a rocket, breaking the 2 million mark in one fell swoop!
The number of paying users on demand for the second episode also easily exceeded 6000 million!
Of all the TV series of Tenggua Video, one counts as one, and no TV series has ever reached such a height!

It has become inevitable for "Fist Intent" to create history.

In Longguo, Ai, Teng, and You Sangua have more than 5.4 million paid users alone, and the number of other free users is even more difficult to count.

The first episode of "Fist Intention" exceeded [-] million, and it has already accounted for more than half of the traffic of Tenggua's video. Even Aigua and Yougua have many users switching to Tenggua to watch this drama at this time.

Many users of the top three video platforms in Longguo are common.

A large number of users often circulate among these three websites, and go to watch whichever one has a good drama.

The reason for this phenomenon is that Sangua has been at the top for too long. The world only knows Sangua, and they don't pay much attention to other small video platforms.

At the current level, if other small websites want to impact Sangua's position, they will definitely need one popular drama after another to break into this circle of user circulation.

Even with a big investment like Watermelon Video, it would be extremely difficult to rush in.

The current broadcast data of the first episode of "Fist Intent" must have attracted a large number of users from the other two companies. As time goes by, the number of users attracted will definitely continue to increase.

"Zhang Yang said that blockbuster theory really makes sense."

Looking at the crowd in the carnival, Sun Zhonghuai and Xu Le celebrated for a while, and then hid aside to communicate.

"To be honest, although I called on Teng Gua to learn from him, I felt a little unsure at the time. I just thought what he said made sense. However, after watching the performance of "Fist Intention", I realized that what he said really made sense. .”

Sun Zhonghuai kept lamenting: "No matter in every aspect of "Fist Intention", it pays attention to bigness, big scene, big investment, big lineup, even the publicity is big, and the result of this is that the current broadcast volume is Big explosion!"

"Who would have thought that such a young man was right?" Xu Le also lamented: "Now all the film and television companies are still adhering to the previous routines. Except for Xuan Yu and Teng Gua, everyone in the entire Longguo film and television circle is still the same. Look."

"The times have changed, and the future will definitely be the era of blockbuster movies. Just thinking about the investment in "Fisting" makes me feel a little bit hurt now."

A TV series invested hundreds of millions, when did the Longguo film and television circle appear?

Although the return of "Fist Intent" is amazing enough, if there is no big investment, there will definitely not be a big return.

Although "Fist Intention" is a Chinese martial arts drama, it also follows the Chinese martial arts levels mentioned in Dragon Snake. Various special effects are expensive to perform, not to mention the background arrangement in that chaotic era, all kinds of JF melees, wars The scene is all about investment of real money.

Thinking of the huge amount of investment, Sun Zhonghuai was secretly bleeding.

"Actually, not necessarily." Xu Le thought for a while and said, "I think this theory is limited to the field of fantasy."

"This type of film can't have a fantasy feel without a big investment. Other films like family ethics, youth idols, etc. can actually make a big difference with a small amount."

"The reason why fantasy films used to be like idol dramas is actually because the investment was too large, and film and television companies did not dare to take risks, fearing that they would not receive returns if they invested, so most of the previous fantasy films were of the idol type."

"But it will be different in the future. With the release of this kind of big fantasy films, if we want to get enough returns in the field of fantasy films, it is impossible to win the audience's favor without a big investment."

"kindness."

Sun Zhonghuai agreed.

"Let's not talk about that, at least the success of "The Intent of the Fist" confirmed his point of view, and when we make fantasy films in the future, we should follow his blockbuster theory.

"The Intent of Fist" still has flaws. If the hero can be changed, and the war scenes and special effects are polished a little more delicately, the effect may be better.

By the way, how about "Fist Town Mountain and River"? "

"No news yet."

Xu Le shook his head.

Not only does Xigua have acquaintances in Tenggua, but Tenggua also has acquaintances in Xigua. Every video platform in Longguo has acquaintances.

"The number of users of Xigua is there. No matter how you compare it, "Fist Town Mountain and River" is definitely not as good as "Fist Intention" in terms of broadcast volume. It mainly depends on the proportion of paying users of both parties."

"Then wait."

Sun Zhonghuai held a glass of champagne in his hand, took a sip, and said thoughtfully: "Zhang Yang is really a great person. I heard the news that Alphabet Jump has an idea for Xuanyu, and Zhang Yang acquires Lotte and creates Fantasy Video, the two parties will definitely collapse. , when the time comes, Teng Gua may have a chance to win over Zhang Yang."

He still couldn't forget Zhang Yang's joining Tenggua.

It's just that his filming of "Fist Intention" has such a volume of broadcasts, and it has brought such great benefits to Teng Gua. How terrifying would it be if Zhang Yang himself joined?
Just thinking about it makes him very excited.

Just when the two websites were in a carnival, other video websites in Longguo also paid attention to the terrifying data of the two dramas!
Not to mention other video websites, the leaders of Aigua and Yougua quickly asked what happened when they heard news from people below that the user traffic of their video platforms had dropped significantly tonight.

When I learned that some of the reduced traffic flowed into Tenggua and some into Watermelon, I was extremely surprised.
