What kind of bad thoughts can the director have?

Chapter 24 No Humility

After 06:30, the data growth slowed down in the early [-]s. Liu Man and Jiang Shiyu became nervous and kept leaving messages in the group: "What's wrong? Why did the speed slow down?"

Yang Shu reassured them that this is a normal situation: "After all, it's dawn, and all kinds of night owls are in bed. Although we are online dramas, like theaters, there are no people watching during the day, and night is the peak time for watching dramas."

This is his guess, but it does not prevent him from predicting with confidence: "Usually, the number of viewers in the first half of the night is much higher than that in the second half of the night, at least doubled. According to the current trend, as long as it can increase by 30 to [-] during the day, Then breaking [-] hits on the first broadcast day should not be a problem.”

"Sounds reasonable," Liu Man said seriously, "Is there any basis for your calculation method?"

"No, I guess with common sense."

"Can't you lie to us that there is evidence? At least it can make people feel at ease."

All in all, be safe and don’t be impatient, everyone is working hard, today is an outdoor scene, shooting in the former Qin Park, Yang Shu started preparations with the photography team at six o’clock.

At 07:30, Liu Tao arrived at the scene, wearing a heavy queen's costume, followed by Liu Man, Jiang Shiyu, and other crew members carrying big bags and small bags, as if he was a matriarch.

When she passed by, she specially called Yang Shu over: "Congratulations, I heard Manman said that the number of hits is almost [-]?"

It is not an exaggeration to round up eighty to ninety thousand and claim to be one hundred thousand.

Yang Shu was in a very relaxed mood, and said respectfully, "Go back to your mother, it's almost one hundred thousand."

Liu Tao was amused, and said, "Don't make me laugh, this outfit is very heavy, and it hurts my back."

She played Mi Shu, Mi Yue's older sister in "The Legend of Mi Yue". Both sisters were married to King Qin.

The costumes in this play are exquisite, but they do not conform to the history. Although there are many black costumes, they are somewhat different from Qin's extremely black tradition.

But this is not a serious historical drama, many plots are nonsense, just look interesting.

Today, the temperature is over 20 degrees. Liu Tao is wearing three layers of clothes, vermilion, rose red, and golden from the inside to the outside, and the embroidery is gorgeous.

There are also quite a lot of jewelry inlaid with gold and jade on the head, because Qin State borders the barbarians, so it looks a bit exotic, and it should be two or three catties.

Her attire is obviously not the standard of princes and queens, it is almost the same as the queen of the Tang Dynasty.

"Sister Tao's back hurts?"

"Yes, I was injured in filming before and the root cause of the disease was that it hurts every time I move."

Liu Man and Jiang Shiyu are very dedicated, and they came up after hearing what she said: "Sister, do you want to put a plaster on?"

Liu Tao smiled bitterly and shook his head: "It's too hot, you may be allergic after posting it, bear with it."

Then he turned his head and asked Yang Shu: "Based on my experience, this movie should be a success. You guys have to make a good plan for how to develop in the future. Do you have any ideas?"

Liu Man claimed more than once in front of his sister that the three were a team, and Liu Tao obviously took it seriously.

Yang Shu, Liu Man, and Jiang Shiyu exchanged glances, and expressed their thoughts: "We have reached a consensus and plan to make persistent efforts and continue to make a web drama."

"I heard Manman said that you don't want to continue to cooperate with Ruhe, and plan to develop independently?"

"That's the plan, is it too early to think about it now?"

Yang Shu has no money, and the two girls have no money individually. If they tell their family members to start a business under such circumstances, it will be more or less like asking for money and borrowing money.

Liu Tao straightened his back and became more dignified: "It's getting late, we have to make a decision as soon as possible. If a film with an investment of 30 yuan can really earn millions, this is a very special talent. I'm afraid not only Ruhe and his family will find it soon. "

This is probably speaking from experience, and now Yang Shu has not clearly realized it.

"I hope the box office can really be that good. We have been planning for two months, and we will start making new dramas as long as conditions permit."

Liu Tao smiled and nodded: "Okay, if you lack funds, you can bring it up with me."

Yang Shu noticed that Liu Man glanced at her sister in surprise, obviously he hadn't said this to her.

Liu Tao didn't ask Liu Man for money, but directly said to him, what do you mean?
Of course, it can’t be that Xiaobai Yang’s face has changed. Yang Shu remembers a statistic. Liu Tao once earned 38 billion in four years. This statistic is probably not accurate. A more reliable statistic is 13 billion in four years. Even so, someone invited her to live broadcast Take the goods and spare as much time as possible to participate, and never let go of any opportunity to make money.

Therefore, Sister Tao is not an ordinary person, and she is only concerned about her ability to manage her career and her crazy enthusiasm for making money. This sentence should be correctly understood as: I am optimistic about you, and you can ask me to invest.

"Okay, Sister Tao, we will talk about difficulties."

"Let's talk again when we find time, go get busy." Liu Tao nodded and smiled and entered the rest room, waiting for the shooting to start in the air-conditioned room.

Who was Jiang Shiyu following? Before entering the door, she turned her head and gave Yang Shu a wink: "Ninety-five thousand."

The data kept rising, and Yang Shu gave her a thumbs up with a smile.

However, not long after the group entered, Liu Man hurried out with his mobile phone: "Yes, Producer Nie, I have seen the data, and I was about to call you at eight o'clock."

While talking, she signaled Yang Shu to follow to a place where there was no one else, and continued: "I don't know where Director Yang is. Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, so maybe you should go home."

Yang Shu’s mobile phone is turned off, the mobile phone signal sometimes interferes with sensitive equipment, and there may be whistling and noise during the recording of the live environment. The crew requires that once the filming starts, the use of communication equipment at close range is prohibited, and even the director’s walkie-talkie is temporarily turned off. Violators will be fined, so Like everyone else, he simply shut down the phone.

However, as long as the private staff of the leading roles leave the scene, the crew will have nothing to do with it.

It was agreed during breakfast that Liu Man would talk to Nie Wen about promotion at eight o'clock. It seemed that he, as a producer, was also paying attention to the performance of the broadcast, so he called him first, and if he couldn't find Yang Shu, he called Liu Man.

The two leaned closer to listen, and Nie Wen was a little anxious on the phone: "Where is his home? Why did he turn off his phone when he went home for the holidays? Didn't he go to another production crew?"

Shutting down is the rule of the crew, and Nie Wen, as an industry insider, of course thought of this first, not to mention Yang Shu's job as an actor.

Liu Man didn't know where Yang Shu's home was, so she got straight to the point: "I'll leave him a message on WeChat later, and I'll contact you when it goes online. Producer Nie, our show is off to a good start, should the company consider marketing?"

Speaking of this, Nie Wen became happy: "It's not only good, it's really great. In the second half of the night of the premiere, the effective clicks on each of our platforms exceeded 500. I've already asked every family. According to their data model It is estimated that the three-month effective hits of "Lovers at the Table" should reach more than [-] million."

What kind of counterfeit data model is this? The estimate is too rough, which is similar to Yang Shu's random guess.

He had already calculated in the morning that an effective click costs 500 cents, and 400 million clicks equals 40 million box office. The [-]-fold return on investment is astonishing, and he can divide it into [-] yuan.

For some reason, he obviously did the same calculation, but when he heard Nie Wen say this number, Yang Shu felt a little disappointed in his heart.

It seems that the major platforms did not think that "Lovers at the Table" could create a success of over [-] million hits, and his so-called conservative estimate was not at all modest.

In the past two days, he studied the data of "Wan WanWanWanWanWanWanWanWanWanWanWanWanWanWanWanWanWanWanWanWanWanWanWanWanWanWanWanWanWanWanWanWanWanWanWanWanWanWanWanWanWanWanWanWanWanWanWanWanWanWanWanWanWanWanWanWanWanWanWaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa. The number of hits on the episode has exceeded [-] million.

Yang Shu understands that it is inappropriate to put the two works together, but the gap between the two is too big, which is still a bit disappointing.

Nie Wen continued: "The promotion must start immediately. I have already reported it to Director Ke. The company has a mature plan. The advertisement will be on the homepage of each platform as soon as this evening."

There are many ways to promote movies and TV series, such as road shows, interviews, press conferences, meetings, etc., which cost a lot.

Twenty-minute web skits are a big deal, and they are usually promoted on the site. If there is a product willing to advertise, it can spread to the entire network.

It is also the cost-saving aspect of online dramas that is favored by investors and develops rapidly.

"Let me tell you, Director Liu, is there any other way for you to contact Director Yang as soon as possible?" Nie Wen became anxious again as he spoke, "I really have something urgent."

"Any other urgent matters?"

"It's like this. Director Ke wants to see him...I want to see you and talk about the follow-up cooperation. Are you still in Nanchang? You should come back soon."
