Entertainment: While Yang Mi is still young, I tricked her into investing in me

It was finished in less than half a month.

The post-production was even faster, and the whole team was in an atmosphere of tension and expectation.

You know, "Never Expected" is an unprecedented work, and each episode is only five minutes long.

In this era when each TV series is 40 to 50 minutes long, this kind of drama with only five minutes per episode is simply a freak, and it is an alternative among the freaks.

After filming this film, except for Chen Le, no one else in the entire crew had confidence at all.

Even...

They didn't know what they were filming these days...

Chen Le was very optimistic. After the first season of "Never Expected" was filmed, he called Zhang Li and asked her to discuss the cooperation of the online drama with Youku.

"Sister Li, Gangzi and the others have finished filming the online drama, and I need you to go to Youku to discuss the online launch."

Zhang Li nodded when she heard this, "Okay, boss, I promise to complete the task."

The next day, Zhang Li came to the Youku headquarters in Yanjing.

At this time, Zhang Li was sitting in the conference room of Youku, opposite Li Hao, the content purchasing manager of Youku.

Two cups of freshly brewed coffee were placed on the table, exuding a faint aroma.

"Manager Li, this is the sample of our "Never Expected", you can take a look first." Zhang Li handed over the USB flash drive with a smile, her eyes full of confidence.

Li Hao took the USB flash drive, inserted it into the computer, and started playing the trailer of "Never Expected".

As the slightly stunned image of Wang Dachui played by Bai Ke appeared on the screen, as well as those hilarious lines and scenes, Li Hao's brows gradually relaxed and a smile appeared at the corners of his mouth.

"Well, this drama is quite interesting, a little nonsensical, but very down-to-earth." Li Hao commented.

As the content purchasing manager of Youku, he still has a vision.

"Yes, we just want to create a work that can make the audience find fun in their busy lives." Zhang Li added.

"Besides, each episode is only five minutes long, which is very suitable for today's fast-paced lifestyle."

Li Hao nodded, thought for a moment and said: "Let's sign the broadcast rights for the first season first and see the market reaction. If the effect is good, we will discuss the follow-up cooperation."

Zhang Li was delighted when she heard this, and nodded and agreed: "No problem, Manager Li, happy cooperation!"

After Zhang Li and Youku agreed on the cooperation.

On March 3.

"Never Expected" was officially launched on Youku!

At this time, at home.

Yang Mi and Chen Le sat in front of the computer at home. She looked at Chen Le with a smug smile on her face and said, "Old Chen, if you lose, remember what you promised me before, and don't go back on your word."

Chen Le raised his eyebrows when he heard this, "Hey, Mi Mi, it hasn't even started yet, how do you know I will lose?"

Seeing this, Yang Mi rolled her eyes and said, "Your web drama is less than half the investment of "Night Club". There are no actors and no production. How can such a shoddy product become popular?"

"That's hard to say, what if it becomes popular?" Chen Le shook his head and said with a smile.

"I'm afraid you won't admit it if you lose."

"Humph, how can I not admit it!"

As the premiere time approached, Yang Mi held her breath.

Finally, the first episode began.

On the screen, Wang Dachui's slightly handsome but paralyzed and slightly dazed image immediately attracted Yang Mi's attention.

Later, Wang Dachui's special effects of replacing a word with each hand made Yang Mi laugh.

"No, this special effect of replacing a word with a word can be played like this?" Yang Mi was a little dumbfounded.

"Old Chen, do you have no money to make special effects, or do you do it on purpose?" She looked at Chen Le and asked in confusion.

"It must be intentional." Chen Le nodded directly.

This web drama is nonsense and abstract.

"If that's the case, then this drama is quite interesting."

Seeing this, Chen Le smiled a little proudly and continued to ask: "Do you think it can still be popular now?"

"I don't know." Yang Mi turned her head.

Although she said this, she knew in her heart that she probably lost this time.

When she thought of the punishment Chen Le mentioned, Yang Mi felt her face getting hot.

After watching the first episode, Yang Mi was amused by this short five-minute drama.

If this special effect replaced by text, the recurring villains and the hilarious lines were changed into a movie, it would definitely be a bad movie, but it doesn't feel that way in this five-minute short video.

Instead, it feels a bit funny.

The first season of "Never Expected" has a total of 15 episodes, and Youku platform first released three episodes to test the waters.

However, once these three episodes were released online, they quickly sparked heated discussions among netizens.

Gangzi and Bai KeAlso sitting in front of the computer, nervously following the comments of netizens.

They kept refreshing the comment interface with the computer, and soon there were quite a few comments.

"Hahaha, this drama is too funny! This Wang Dachui is almost making me laugh to death!"

"Are these special effects serious? Can they be played like this? Just a few words? Text special effects?"

"Oh my god, I almost spit out a mouthful of water, the plot twists too fast! I can't guess what will happen in the next second!"

"The villain is the same person over and over again, but he can perform different feelings every time. His acting skills are amazing!"

"It's good, update it quickly!"

"Why is there only three episodes? Is my membership not strong enough?"

"This is the first time I've seen such a funny drama, urge for more!"

Seeing these comments, Gangzi and Bai Ke were relieved, and they couldn't help but smile.

They didn't expect that this seemingly bad web drama would be so popular.

Especially Gangzi, he is very excited now.

What Lao Chen said is true, this web drama can really be popular.

Now he was completely impressed by Chen Le's vision, as if whatever Chen Le filmed would become popular.

The next day, when Yang Mi pulled Chen Le to open the computer again to check the playback volume of "Never Expected", she was stunned by the numbers in front of her.

In just one night, the playback volume of three episodes has exceeded 5 million!

"Old Chen, am I seeing this correctly? Over 5 million? So many?!" Yang Mi widened her eyes and said in disbelief.

She didn't expect that the on-demand volume of three episodes exceeded 5 million in just one night.

This means that the drama "Never Expected" is really popular.

Chen Le saw Yang Mi's unbelievable look and smiled and said: "Mi Mi, it seems that I won this time. Tell me, should you fulfill your promise?"

Hearing this, Yang Mi came back from the shock and her face turned red.

"I, I am willing to accept the loss! I will go to buy it today!" Yang Mi gritted her teeth and did not regret it.

Seeing this, Chen Le couldn't stop smiling.

"Mi Mi, I'll go with you."
