Entertainment: God-level director

Aiqiyi.

CEO office

“The number of users exceeded 5 million in 24 hours, and there were 3.5 million VIP users?

How can the VIP proportion be so high?!”

Gong Yu, the founder of iQiyi, felt completely unbelievable when he saw the data of the first day of the launch of Ranmeng Video.

The proportion of VIPs in the industry is only about 20%. Even if you Lin Ran has many fans, the proportion of top-up VIPs will be higher.

But It’s not that high!

But then I thought about it, even if this data is watery, even if it is reduced by half, the VIP proportion is still as high as 35%, almost twice that of iQiyi. It is still a very high Proportion.

After thinking about it, Gong Yu also downloaded Ranmeng Video and decided to explore it for himself.

After trying it for a few minutes, he had to lament that in terms of user experience, Ranmeng Video also surpassed iQiyi and Penguin Video.

Then, He clicked on the show”The Hidden Corner” again and found that the audience had given it a high score of 9.2 on the Dream Video. In the comment area, there were hundreds of comments, almost all of which were positive.

Gong Yu was curious. When he clicked on the video, a dense barrage of barrages came instantly. He turned off the barrage and played it at 1.5 times speed.

Soon the episode was over, and Gong Yu had a rough idea.

“It is indeed a good drama, well-produced, all the actors’ acting skills are online, and the plot is full of tension. No wonder it attracts so many users to directly sign up for VIP.”

After pondering for a while, Gong Yu decided to launch a similar suspense theater on iQiyi to attract users with high-quality content!

At the same time, the person in charge of Penguin Video and Youku Video was also paying close attention to Ranmeng Video This new little brother who joined the battlefield all had the same idea as Gong Yu after seeing the first day’s data of Ranmeng Video. As a result

, the copyrights of all popular domestic suspense novels were scrambled, and the copyright fees ranged from tens of thousands to tens of thousands. Tens of thousands, soaring to tens of millions.

The new works of powerful suspense writers, even if they haven’t written a word, are directly booked by several major video websites at high prices, with the highest ones claiming to be over ten million!

Burning Dream Video A catfish, its first appearance!

In the following period, Ranmeng Pictures increased the marketing of”The Hidden Corner” and”Under the Brocade”.

Weibo, Douyin, Zhihu, Douban, Hupu and other mainstream platforms , Amway posts about these two dramas can be seen everywhere.

Lin Ran even mobilized his personal connections and asked friends in the circle to Amway these two dramas on Weibo.

For example, he invited Huang Bo, Deng Chao and others to Amway”The Secret””The Corner”, let Reba, Yang Mi and others benefit from”Under the Brocade”.

The purpose is very simple, just to make these two dramas completely popular!

Since the quality of the two dramas is very good,”The Hidden Corner” will directly become a big hit Exploded, Qin Hao’s popularity skyrocketed

《Although”Under the Clothes” is not a big hit, it is also the most popular female TV drama in recent times.

These two dramas are only broadcast exclusively on Ranmeng Video. Amway netizens who want to watch the drama can only download Ranmeng Video.

As a result, the download volume of Ranmeng Video skyrocketed, with more than 500,000 new users every day.

In just ten days since it was launched, the number of users of Ranmeng Video has exceeded 10 million, and the number of VIP users has reached 6.6 million.

The situation is great!

However, Lin Ran stopped paying attention to Ranmeng Video.

Because the awards season in Europe and America is here!

In order to compete for the Oscars,”Crackling Drummer” applied for multiple film festival awards, including the Critics’ Choice Award, which is the four major Oscar indicator, the American Film and Television Golden Globe Award, the British Academy Film Award, the major professional union awards in the United States, and Several major Film Critics Circle Awards.

On December 26, Lin Ran and Feng Yuanzheng flew to the United States to attend the Houston Film Critics Association Awards ceremony.

As for Tong Liya, due to role restrictions, she did not receive a single nomination. In addition, she was busy filming”Skyscraper”, so she did not go with Lin Ran.

Not long after, it was time for the Best Supporting Actor award.

“The winner of the 8th Houston Film Critics Association Award for Best Supporting Actor is……”

After the award-giving guest paused deliberately, he announced loudly:”Feng Yuanzheng!”

The pronunciation of the Chinese name spoken by the foreigner was very non-standard, but Lin Ran and Feng Yuanzheng understood it instantly.

“Teacher Feng, you won the award!”Lin Ran smiled and congratulated.

“Thank you, this is my first foreign film festival award.”

Feng Yuanzheng said excitedly.

He has very good acting skills, but he has not acted in many movies. He has never won a foreign film award after decades of acting.

This is the first time a big girl has got on the sedan, so he is even more excited than Lin Ran.

“Hahaha, don’t worry, Mr. Feng, with the role of Chen Mo, I guarantee that you will win the award with ease.”

Lin Ran smiled.

Feng Yuanzheng smiled and nodded. Without saying anything more to Lin Ran, he stood up and went to the stage to receive the award.

“Thank you to the judges for giving me this award, and to Director Lin Ran for allowing me to play the role of Chen Mo.……”

Feng Yuanzheng thanked the judges and director as usual and then stepped down.

After waiting for nearly an hour, it was finally the turn to announce the best director.

“The winner of the 8th Houston Film Critics Association Award for Best Director is…Richard Linklater!”

Wow~~~

Hearing this result, the whole audience was surprised.

Because”Boyhood” has already won three awards for Best Screenplay, Best Supporting Actress, and Best Technical Award.

Unexpectedly, the best director was also won

“《The quality of”Boyhood” is indeed very high. Although our”Explosion Drummer” is not inferior to it, whoever wins the award depends on the taste of the judges.”

Feng Yuanzheng comforted.

Lin Ran nodded. After”Boyhood” was released, it had a very good reputation among film critics and the industry, and was hailed as a favorite for this year’s Oscars.

At major Oscar outposts, the weathervane film festival There were nominations for many awards. Next was Best Picture. What Lin Ran thought about was that it was still won by”Boyhood”. It won a total of five awards this year, which can be said to be a sweep.

The Houston Film Critics Association Awards were not broadcast live in China, but domestic reporters came to report on it, and the results of the awards were immediately transmitted back to China.

By now, Feng Yuanzheng has been on the hot search, but he is ranked in the 20s, not Too far forward.

After the Houston Film Critics Association Awards, Lin Ran and Feng Yuanzheng did not return to China.

Five days later, they would attend the 27th Chicago Film Critics Association Awards.
