I, the traveler, will guide me directly in the Mi Universe.

With that said, Alicia walked to the laptop, operated the mouse to exit full-screen mode, and refreshed the playback interface.

Soon, the playback data of the first hour came into view - 220 million playback records.

Not only that, the current real-time playback volume is also almost 200 million, which means that in another hour, this playback volume can double again at a similar rate.

According to Y station’s rules for recording playbacks, long videos must be viewed for 80% of the entire duration before one playback can be recorded, and each account only records one playback per day, and the length of an episode ranges from 1 minutes to an hour. The cumulative number of views of a web drama more than an hour after its official launch is almost equal to the number of simultaneous viewers in the first hour.

This data is the best way to describe a web drama like "Honkai Academy" that was not favored at the beginning of the project and did not use any well-known actors in the first episode.

Even after the promotional video was released and it was learned that the drama received a promotional song sung by Eden and an investment from Golden Garden Studio, the industry's estimate of the number of simultaneous viewers in the first hour was only around 100 million. But the results came out, which was more than double the industry expectations.

Everyone understands why - millions of viewers who were originally supposed to be attracted to the show chose to share the show not long after watching it.

It may be WeChat, it may be Wechat, in short, it attracts more viewers through tap water.

In addition, Alicia’s Weibo post today also played a great role in boosting the situation.

And such achievements, even if placed in the summer season where various annual masterpieces gathered in previous years, are enough to stand out from the crowd.

Of course, this is also because the competition for summer movies in previous years was too fierce and the number of viewers was very small. Generally speaking, the playback volume in the first hour will be affected by diversion, but when word-of-mouth fermentation, the future hourly playback volume will be affected by those in the The works that win the battle will see a rise against the trend.

But no one can be sure that such a rise against the trend will not also happen to "Honkai Academy".

Tonight, for many people, they are destined to have no sleep.

In the director's office of the film and television production department of Tianming Film and Television Company, the expressions on the faces of Shinsuke and Takayuki at this moment were extremely ugly.

The reason is not only because they saw the accumulated views of "Honkai Academy" in the first hour, but also because of the pitiful 30 views of "Age of Youth" displayed on another page, and the comment section's comments about that because of the heavy scenes. Complaints about the missing male lead and the plot being cut into pieces.

Not only is the popularity not good, but even the reputation has collapsed.

In other words, the sniper battle that they had planned with great confidence has now become their 'death charm' in a sense!

Finally, Shinsuke spoke up to break the strange silence in the office. He smiled bitterly and said: "Fortunately, I took advantage of this period of time to reluctantly arrange for Qianli to join the company for internship. She will have to rely on her to make the future. ”

When Takayuki heard this, he looked not too surprised: "It seems that we all want to go together, so let's go to the general manager's office together tomorrow to submit our resignation to Ayato."

Chapter 70 Game

Shen Jie was startled when he heard this. Although he had this plan, he didn't expect that his old friend wouldn't even struggle.

However, after thinking about it for a moment, there is nothing to struggle with. While the commotion is not too ugly now, it might be a good thing to retreat bravely. It would not be nice to wait until the other party personally chases them away.

Besides, what if they resign?

Do they still have shares in the Tianming Group at home? Although they are only shares in a subsidiary company, they are still small shareholders. Even if they leave, with this level of relationship, can't they say hello and let everyone know? Take more care of Qianli?

Thinking of this, Shinsuke felt relieved.

He nodded heavily and said: "Yes, yes, let's go together tomorrow!"

On the other side, in the general manager's office, Ayato looked at the data after the launch of "Honkai Academy" and smiled silently.

He leaned back on the back of the office chair and contacted his assistant through the landline next to him: "Thomas, a cup of assorted milk tea."

How can such a moment worthy of celebration be complete without the favorite assorted milk tea?

After a while, the door of the office was opened from the outside, and the person who walked in was Thomas who had just bought a bag of assorted milk tea with ice.

After putting down the milk tea, Tomahui reported: "General Manager, Miss, she will be returning home from her graduation trip in a while."

Hearing what Toma said, Ayato was obviously taken aback, and then a warm smile appeared on his face, and he nodded: "I know, things in the company have basically been on the right track recently. Just waiting for Ayaka to come back, I Then I can go home from get off work early every day and spend more time with her."

After hearing this, Toma saw that Ayato understood his hint, so he stopped talking and left the office directly.

After Toma left, Ayato opened the packaging bag of milk tea, and while enjoying the pleasure brought by the dopamine secreted by drinking milk tea, he read the comments section below "Honkai Academy".

The premiere score of this drama reached a high score of 9.3. Although the score will inevitably decline as the number of viewers increases in the future, as long as there are no signs of collapse in the plot in the future, it should retain a score of above 8.5 when it ends. Not difficult.

As for whether it will collapse?The project submitted by Yingying had the complete plot of the first season, so Ayato certainly wouldn't worry about this problem.

At the same time, he clicked on the page of "The Age of Youth". After a cursory glance at the dismal playback volume, he saw the dismal premiere rating of 4.8 and smiled silently.

Although Station Y did not come to report anything to Ayato, he had been paying attention to the web drama "Honkai Academy" directed by Ying, so how could he ignore the one who 'happened' to arrive in time? What about "Age of Youth", which was previewed before the official announcement of "Honkai Academy"?

Combined with the personal relationship between Shinsuke and Director Washizu, as well as the other party's move to arrange for his daughter Chisato to join the company these days, Ayato still doesn't know what kind of calculation is behind this?

"I just hope you can respect yourself, otherwise don't blame the younger generation for making you look decent."

Ayato murmured with a smile, but the words he spoke seemed unusually cold.

This time after Ayato became the general manager of Destiny Film and Television Company, he won the game between Shinsuke and Takayuki over the relationship between Ying and "Honkai Gakuen". When those two people left, The company is the moment when he truly has all the power of the company in his hands. Then he will naturally no longer have to be as busy as he is now. He can safely leave many things to the people below him.

Thinking of this, Ayato stood up, stretched, stretched out his muscles, and threw the empty milk tea bottle into the trash can under his desk. Then he walked to the floor-to-ceiling window and looked at The neon lights and busy traffic outside the window revealed a faint smile.

I'm afraid Ying Shang didn't know it at this time, but just by making a good drama, she triggered a change of power within the company.

However, Ying doesn't need to know this. She just needs to be her director and let him clear the way for the company's affairs.

Their eyes returned to the Baiwei Private Kitchen. After everyone appreciated the comments made by netizens on "Honkai Academy", today's party was coming to an end.

After all, everyone has their own career. Now it’s almost ten o’clock in the evening. After driving home and washing up, it’s almost time to turn the clock. In order to get up early the next day, it’s time to go back to each other. Home.

Since several people were drinking during dinner today, Eden asked, "Does any of you need a driver? I'll call them all here."

Velvet was the first to shake her head: "I'll just sleep here tonight, no need to scream."

"Count me in."

Natasha and Aponya said this one after another.

"And me too!"

Alicia didn't want to be outdone when she heard this, but just as she opened her mouth to attract Eden's eyes, she saw Ying waving her hands aside and said: "I also have a driver's license, and I didn't drink tonight. I can drive Aili." Let’s go back together.”

However, Ying did not expect that her ordinary words would receive an unusual response.

Eden's eyes kept wandering over Ying and Alicia. Finally, the corner of her mouth raised a meaningful arc: "Oh? Alicia, you are still living there now? It seems that you like it very much. Where is Ying!"

"That's natural!?"

Alicia took Ying's arm and made a sweet gesture: "Eden, you don't know, Ying is so gentle and considerate. She blows my hair better than myself or Teacher Tony." Great! Moreover, not only did she let me join the group as a performance assistant and teach me how to become an actor, she also praised me for my talent as a director some time ago and suggested that I pursue further studies in directing. She even promised to give me Tailor-made a script~? Hum hum, in the future I will also be an all-around star spanning the three major fields of film, television and music!?"

As she spoke, Alicia winked at Eden, as if to say that she was about to catch up with Eden's achievements.

"Oh? Then I'll congratulate you in advance."

Eden smiled upon hearing this, feeling sincerely happy about it.

"Oh, maybe I drank too much soup before, Ying, please wait before leaving."

After Alicia spoke to Ying, she turned to Velvi and said, "Vilvi, where is your bathroom? Please show me the way."

"it is good."

Velvet gave Alicia a meaningful look, but did not point out the fact that the other party, who had been here many times, already knew the location of the bathroom, so she really walked in front to guide the other party. After all, she He had already guessed what the other party meant by this move.

Chapter 71: There are two things I didn’t lie about, but I also didn’t tell the truth or hide anything.

The bathroom of Baiwei Private Kitchen was kept very clean, and there was even the smell of jasmine-scented air freshener in the air. Therefore, Alicia and Velvet didn't feel any peculiar smell while standing by the sink chatting.

"I know what you're asking."

Leaning against the clean wall, Velvet crossed her arms and continued, "Let's put it this way, Ying didn't tell a lie today, but she didn't tell the truth many times."

"I didn't say a word of panic, but I didn't tell the truth. What does that mean?"

Alicia said in confusion.

"Just like you just said you drank too much soup tonight and asked me to show you the way to the bathroom. Neither of you lied, but you are using your words to mislead me, thinking that you are coming to the bathroom, and you are You asked me to lead you because you didn’t know where the bathroom was. But the fact is, you just used these two points as an excuse to create an opportunity for you to talk to me alone."

Velvet explained it using the words Alicia used just now.

"Then...what did she say that wasn't true?"

After understanding what Velvet meant, Alicia asked hurriedly.

Velvet did not answer when she heard the words. She looked at Alicia with a scrutinizing face and reminded: "Alicia, haven't you always believed in being sincere in your interactions with others? Does your current behavior count? Violated your own rules for making friends?”

Alicia was startled. She didn't expect that her behavior would actually misunderstand Velvet.

But think about it, if it were him, he would definitely have doubts about it.

"Actually... I just think her attitude towards me is very strange, but I can't tell what is so strange, so I want to see if I can find some breakthrough from you."

Alicia said truthfully.

"Strange? How strange?"

Velvet also became interested at this moment and asked.

~

"It just... feels like she is not like a friend in front of me, more like..."

Alicia originally wanted to talk about fans, but in fact, she and her fans were very different from each other. Thinking of this, the figure of Aponya flashed through her mind unconsciously.

Why would she think of Apponia at this time?Alicia frowned and thought deeply, and then she remembered that Aponya's profession was actually a nun.

To be honest, as a good friend of Aponya, Alicia does not think that the other party believes in doctrines and gods, but there is no doubt that people who are not familiar with Aponya will probably think that she is a A very devout clergyman.

Thinking of this, Alicia finally found the right words to describe Ying's attitude towards her: "The way she looks at me is similar to how a devout believer looks at her god."

After saying these words, even a narcissistic person like Alicia couldn't help but blush a little.

Velvet naturally looked at Alicia with a rather strange look, but with just this look, the strangeness on her face turned into confusion: "What you said is indeed your true feeling in your heart, that's strange Oh, why does she look at you with that attitude? Could it be that you have given her salvation without knowing it? "

"Eh?!"

Alicia had never thought about this situation. She tilted her head and pondered for a long time, but to no avail: "Theoretically, the first time I met Ying was through Eden. From then until now, it has been a week in total. When the time comes, I will remember every bit of our relationship, so there should not be the situation you mentioned."

"Maybe it's something you don't even know about? For example, in a dream, or in a past life or something."

Velvet said with a smile.

Alicia couldn't help but glare at her when she heard this: "I'm telling you something serious!"

"Alright alright……"

Velvet quickly raised her hands in a gesture of surrender. Obviously in interpersonal relationships, she is often the one who causes others a lot of headaches. However, in the process of interacting with Alicia, it is usually the one who loses first. she.

It can only be said that the so-called top of the food chain does not exist. In this world, there will always be a situation where one thing is reduced to another.

"If this is the case between you and Ying, then it doesn't hurt if I tell you what things she didn't tell the truth about today."

After a little recollection, Velvet said: "The first part where I didn't lie, but I didn't tell the truth, was about the almond tofu and the Dharma Protector General Yaksha. At that time, you asked me who the Dharma Protector General Yaksha was, and the other person's answer was: A character in a series, and almond tofu is that character’s favorite food.”

"Uh-huh."

Alicia nodded slightly, indicating that she had taken note of it.

Although she felt that this clue seemed difficult to connect to what she was concerned about.

In fact, Velvet felt the same way, but who knew if there were any hidden clues?

Anyway, she just told her what she observed, and left the rest of the reasoning to Alicia.

Velvet continued: "The second part is the question you asked that made Ying choke."

"what?"

Alicia was quite surprised and said: "I thought it was just an accident. After all, it happens that people suddenly choke on their own saliva."

"In short, this is the result of my observation. The reason why she choked was indeed because of your question, and her answer at that time did not lie, nor was it untrue. I could sense that she was hiding something."

Hearing what Velvet said, Alicia's eyebrows furrowed even more tightly. How come both of them are related to the works that Ying is about to create or is currently creating?This obviously doesn't give her much valuable guidance!

"Is there a third place?"

Alicia asked reluctantly.

Velvet shrugged: "No, just these two places."

"OK then……"

A look of disappointment flashed across Alicia's face, but she quickly restrained it and put on a bright smile again: "Okay, we have been out for a long enough time. If we don't go back, I'm afraid it won't be the best." You think I fell into the toilet!"

After saying that, Alicia turned on the faucet of the sink, wet her hands, and looked like she had just gone to the toilet, and then returned to the box with Velvet.

At this time, the rest of the people in the box had left, and only Ying was sitting there, lowering his head and scrolling through his phone.

Alicia quietly walked forward, stuck her head out from behind, and looked at Ying's phone screen. As expected, the other party was currently scrolling through the comment area below "Honkai Academy" and making strange noises from time to time. laugh.
