What kind of bad thoughts can the director have?

Chapter 197 A bit of a grand occasion
Dramas with strong star appeal like "The Beginning" all have common characteristics. A large number of viewers start chasing each time they are updated, and the broadcast volume is relatively concentrated in the initial period.

By two o'clock in the morning, the total views of the first three episodes of "The Beginning" had reached more than 600 million.

The word-of-mouth at the beginning was very good. At the end of the third episode, the barrage and comments were full of praise.

"I give this drama a score of 9 or more. Both the story and the performance of the characters are just right. Liu Man has such directing skills, the script is even more amazing, and the poplar tree is beautiful."

"Yang Shu really didn't let me down. The three episodes of the night were hearty, and the bus exploded 10 times, blowing me and my girlfriend into a daze."

"The three members of Golden Triangle played very stably. I thought it would be unsatisfying to release this drama immediately after "Warrior". I didn't expect it to be very appetizing."

"I've seen a lot of time loop dramas, and it's not a bad show. Compared with "Groundhog Day" or "Source Code", this drama is a little less surprising. It's a bit simple, but it happens on an ordinary bus. , it tells the story of ordinary people in the car, but the sense of substitution is much stronger, and it can be regarded as the first-class filming among local science fiction dramas."

"It's so fun, it's not sloppy at all, the group is destroyed like a tornado, and the explosions are thrilling. I can't wait, and I will continue to chase tomorrow!"

"Time cycles test the skills of screenwriters and directors. The first two episodes were set with high energy, and suspense was thrown one after another. Yang Shu and Liu Man lived up to expectations. I hope the follow-up can maintain the standard."

"This show must have a perfect ending, it's so heart-wrenching."

"There are a lot of time-cycle dramas in Europe and the United States. I don't understand why there are so many people kneeling and licking here, the navy?"

……

Having watched three seasons of "Wonderful Events in the World", Liu Man already has a lot of experience. Liu Man has already understood the data model of the increase in the number of hits in online dramas. Usually, the broadcast results in the second half of the night on the day of the first broadcast can account for one-tenth of the final hits.

She was excited but also somewhat skeptical: ""The Beginning" started so well, according to the model calculation, wouldn't the number of hits for each episode in one month exceed [-] million?"

Although "Wonderful Events in the World" currently has nearly [-] million hits per episode, it is the result of long-term accumulation. The results of "The Beginning" are indeed better than when "Wonderful Events in the World" first aired. The blessing of "Warrior" is not the same.

Yang Shu reversed his initial fuss and became a godlike: "What's so strange, be confident, you forgot that the online drama "Ghost Blowing Lantern: The Ancient City" starring Jin Dong at the beginning of this year, two episodes were broadcast on the same day It exceeded [-] million."

Jin Dong filmed this drama before he participated in "Warrior" last year, and talked with Yang Shu about it, and he was quite impressed.

In fact, this is not the best online drama this year. No.1 is Pan Yueming's "White Night Chasing the Murder", No.2 is Huang Xuan's "Sea Shepherd Clouds", No.3 is Wu Xiubo and Tao Jie's "Military Division Alliance" ".

Yang Shu made Liu Man more confident, so is he confident that "The Beginning" will create better results and catch up with the top three?

This ranking not only compares the number of clicks, but also has several dimensions such as word-of-mouth, search popularity, media popularity, and Weibo attention. The calculation is very complicated, and it is not possible to draw conclusions after playing two episodes.

It was already two o'clock in the morning, so he didn't have the time to think about it. As the leading actor, he was already flirting with the leading lady, preparing to go on an adventure and explore new puzzles.

"Don't think about anything, just turn off your phone and go back to have a beauty sleep, it's another busy day when you wake up."

Yang Shu was not in a hurry to sleep, and continued to be busy.

Tonight, the male and female leading actors are particularly enthusiastic, which can be regarded as a response to the enthusiasm of the audience. With their ingenuity, they opened a copy that had not been opened before overnight, and completed many side tasks.

After completing two cycles, Jiang Shiyu snuggled into his arms: "If each episode of "The Beginning" exceeds 20 million hits, then after [-] episodes, it will be almost [-] billion. "

Now the platform sharing system has been changed. Although the rules of each platform are different, they are similar.

In general, each work has more than 12 episodes, and each episode is at least 20 minutes long. An A-level work costs about 10 yuan. If 12 episodes are filmed, each episode is 0.8 yuan, which is [-] yuan less than before. .

But if it is 24 episodes, it becomes 0.4 yuan per episode.

Web dramas and TV dramas adopt the same charging policy, so the total income of large productions with dozens of episodes will be limited.

However, there are also appropriate subsidies. If the total number of episodes exceeds 400 minutes, such as "The Beginning", there are 15 episodes of 45 minutes each, and the total duration is more than 600 minutes. In this case, the platform will raise the A-level unit price to 14 yuan, so First, the unit price of each episode is 0.93 yuan, which is more cost-effective than before.

However, no matter how long the time is, there will be no subsidies, so the web dramas are basically controlled within 20 episodes.

If "The Beginning" has 20 billion clicks, then the clicks plus advertising revenue will exceed 20 billion yuan.

Yang Shu also admitted: "It seems that it is easier to earn this money, and the effect is quicker with less investment. We spent less than 6000 million on the producer and advertising expenses of "Beginning", while the investment and promotion of "Warrior" spent 3 million yuan." Calculated, the income ratio of "The Beginning" is nearly three times higher."

"That's why the development of our movies is relatively slow, while TV dramas and online dramas have exploded in recent years. I recently saw some comments on the Internet, saying that our investment in "The Three-Body Problem" is likely to fail."

It’s normal for someone to say that, but everyone sees it from different perspectives. As soon as the news that Yang Shu bought “Three-Body Problem” came out, the capital market was very optimistic, and there was a lot of hot money to invest.

But some senior sci-fi fans and book fans are not optimistic, thinking that the filming of "The Three-Body Problem" will be difficult to produce results, and it will be a disaster. It is a thankless task for Yang Shu to take over.

Jiang Shiyu said that this is not to throw cold water, but just to care about it. She will follow and fully support Yang Shu in whatever she does. It has always been her duty to give feedback to the public. It is time for the sages to talk about the sages.

At 20 o'clock the next morning, the first two episodes of "The Beginning" had more than [-] million hits, and there was no suspense to surpass [-] million hits in the whole day. If the total hits reach [-] billion, there is basically no suspense that the score will enter the top ten this year.

The entertainment page of Weibo has exploded. The biggest news is not that "Beginning" is popular, but that "Beginning" accounts for fourteen of the top twenty most searched.

This is really too exaggerated, Yang Shu looked at it, and some hot searches didn't even understand what they were searching for, but any one was in the millions.

The number one hot search is "The Beginning Episode 500", with more than [-] million searches.

It's only been the third episode, so what's the point of searching for the fourth episode? Do you think there will be pirated copies?

"Beginning Prediction"

"Di Lieba is also waiting to start updating"

Di Lieba became popular this year, but it was a bit of a surprise to come here.

"Who is the murderer"

"If there is no cycle at the beginning"

What does this mean, why shoot without a loop?
"The foreshadowing of the beginning is wonderful"

"Begin to add more"

"Startup Driver"

……

This was really a grand occasion, if it wasn't for some chaos, even Yang Shu himself would have suspected that Tiange hired sailors to do it.

There are many hot comments, and one sentence impressed him deeply: "This is an experiment to expand the territory of the national drama theme, and it also means a new beginning for Yangshu and the national drama."
