I'm just an actor

Blind the eyes of countless people.

The total number of subscriptions is 120 million+, and the total number of subscribers is 8+. On the first day, all costs are recovered by subscription revenue.

Five-star video has tens of thousands of paying members in one day, and it is still growing.

Many viewers are not short of money, and fans are even more so.

As for the fans that Yueguan has now, a large part of them are the kind of true fans who can go crazy for their idols.

At the moment, no one is more worthy of the word traffic than Yueguan.

So even if the quality of "Edge of the City" is average, it is actually impossible to hit the street.

Not to mention, the quality of "Edge of the City" is really excellent. The score of 9.7 is definitely inflated, but there is definitely no problem with a score of 9 or more.

Even if you don't like a domestic drama of this level, you can only say that it is not the type you like, and it does not mean that the quality of the drama is not good enough.

Li Ruotong couldn't believe it after seeing this data.

"Shouldn't be, "Edge of the City" is such a niche subject, it can actually have this data, have you subscribed?"

Yue Guan took a look at Li Ruotong and shook his head: "Sister Ruotong, why are you like some readers on Five Star Chinese Online?"

"What do you mean?"

"I recently read novels on the five-star Chinese website, and found that many readers have a problem. Anything they don't like thinks it must not be successful, and what doesn't fit their ideas is unreasonable. It's exactly the same as yours. Your family opened the earth. Huh? Just go around you?"

Li Ruotong: "..."

"They are all grown-ups, mature, no one is the center of the world, the world doesn't bother to talk to us at all. If a work wants to make money, it has nothing to do with the public and niche, just target the audience. And the more niche themes pay The higher the rate, this is common sense. Besides, with my current fame, popularity, word-of-mouth, and such a big publicity campaign, there are currently only more than 8 paid subscriptions. Is this number exaggerated?"

Mo Xiangwan nodded: "Yue Guan is right. 8 paid members are not a particularly good result. In fact, the first day subscription revenue of "City Edge" can only break one million, and five-star video and our If the publicity and promotion resources invested are replaced by fees, it has already exceeded one million. In fact, the cost has not yet been recovered. If it is replaced by "Chuanming", the subscription number can be increased by at least five times. From this perspective, "The Edge of the City" Its subject matter is indeed niche and its potential is limited.”

"But if it develops like this, "Edge of the City" will definitely make a lot of money. This is the first day." Li Ruotong simply did the math and realized that selling this show in this way may actually make more money than selling it at a high price. many.

"Sister Ruotong, as long as I become popular, there will be no possibility of losing money in this show from the beginning. It's just a matter of earning more and less."

Yueguan actually didn't expect "Edge of the City" to make a lot of money.

If you double the profit by more than ten times, you will be satisfied.

The biggest significance of "Edge of the City" is to prove to the outside world that the business model of Five Star Video can be a win-win situation with investors and producers.In the future, after the film and television project is established, in addition to considering cooperation with TV stations, it may also consider cooperation with Five Star Video.

With one successful example, the road ahead will be much easier.

"In fact, you could have earned more, Yueguan, why do you oppose the tipping function? With your current popularity, if you activate the tipping function, the reward income will probably exceed the subscription income." Mo Xiangwan felt a little regretful.

When it was decided that "Edge of the City" needs to be paid to watch in the five-star video, Li Fuzhen proposed to set up a reward function to attract fans and viewers who are really rich and like the show to contribute more income to the show.

Yueguan refused.

"In the future, other film and television drama projects can enable the tipping function, so let's forget about mine, at least for now."

"why?"

"Many of my current fan base are minors or students. The subscription fee is nothing, and it should be regarded as cultivating their genuine awareness. But asking them to tip is tantamount to encouraging them to ask for money from their families. This behavior is not good. I don’t need this little money.”

Yueguan does not reject this business model. For the platform, making money is always the first priority.

But he's fine with it.

"The influence of a star is too great, and there is still a sense of social responsibility. At least I still want it. Let's talk about it later when I am not popular or the fan base is stable."

He hasn't been pushed to that level yet, so there's no need to make all the money.

……

The word-of-mouth of "Edge of the City" is as Yueguan expected, and the praise is overwhelming. Of course, if there are too many people watching, it is impossible to have a high score of 9.7, but the score is not too low. It is currently maintained at around 9.4, yes The TV series with the highest ratings this year even surpassed "No. [-] in the World" and "Chuanming".

Coupled with the popularity of Yueguan and the vigorous promotion of the five-star company, the number of subscribers of "Edge of the City" has been increasing steadily, and the income is naturally far less than that of "Crossing Ming", but the profit has already exceeded [-] million.

Shock in the industry.

Many people have begun to face up to the new model of five-star video, thinking about whether they have a chance to get a share.

This is the effect Yueguan and Five Star Video want.

Compared with five-star videos, Yueguan has accumulated more auras.

In the eyes of most people, no matter how good the quality of "Edge of the City" is, a group of unknown directors and creators would not have achieved the current results without Yue Guan's popularity.

Facts have proved that Yueguan not only carries the ratings, but also makes the audience spend money to watch him.

The latter is already what the film industry requires of movie stars.

Therefore, many resources in the film industry offered an olive branch to Yueguan.

Among them, there are many famous directors and big producers.

Mo Xiangwan became excited.

"Yueguan, good news and better news, which one do you want to hear first?"

"Better."

"There is a big production movie looking for you, starring Andy Lau, but the role you are looking for is the big villain, the second male lead, and the role is very important."

No matter how popular Yueguan is, it is impossible to be ranked ahead of Andy Lau. Being able to accept the role of the anti-number one as a newcomer in the film industry is indeed considered Yueguan very important.

Yue Guan nodded slightly: "What type?"

"A blockbuster commercial action movie of the Treasure Hunt type, a 3D movie created by an elite Hollywood production team, and it is the 150th movie starring Andy Lau. There are many stars, and the box office will definitely not be too bad."

Yue Guan's expression turned subtle: "A blockbuster commercial action movie of the Treasure Hunt type? The 150th movie starring Andy Lau? Has the script been sent yet?"

"Not yet, the producer means to ask you to audition first and go through the motions."

"What's the name of this play?"

""Sky secret · Fu Chun mountain picture"!"

Yueguan: "╮(╯▽╰)╭"

Chapter 108

There is one thing to say, "Tianji Dwelling in Fuchun Mountains" is a good movie.

The premise is to compare it with "Pure Mind: Chasing Dream Showbiz".

Otherwise it is very difficult to clean up.

How bad is this movie?

Andy Lau, who has acted in so many bad movies, publicly apologized to the audience for acting in this movie.

How many bad movies did Liu Tianwang act in before?Ever seen him apologize?

An exception was made for "Tianji Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains".

The power of this movie is evident.

Yue Guan was naturally grateful and insensitive.

"Push it."

Mo Xiangwan was very surprised: "Why do you want to push? This is a very good opportunity to enter the film industry. Yue Guan, you are a newcomer in the film industry even if you are popular in the TV industry. Great resource."

On paper, there is nothing wrong with Mo Xiangwan's point of view.

Before "Tianji Dwelling in Fuchun Mountains" was released, who would have thought that this movie could be so badly shot.

Mo Xiangwan hadn't seen the finished product, not even the script, so it was normal to make this judgment.

Yue Guan thought for a while, and said to Mo Xiangwan: "Let the other side send the script first, and read the script first."

It is not very face-saving to directly refuse.

Mo Xiangwan hesitated: "In this case, the producer may think that we are not sincere. According to the information I have heard, they are also contacting other people."

If there are not enough celebrity cafes, they are not qualified to play.

With Yue Guan's current status, he can be chosen in the TV circle, but in the film circle, he is still a newcomer.

Yue Guan smiled: "Sister Xiang Wan, in the future, if you come to me for a play, you have to read the script first. Don't treat any big director in the film industry as sacred. In the future, the entertainment industry will change, and producing good works is king. Of course Liu Tianwang's status is unquestionable, but nine out of ten movies he starred in are bad. He is not afraid, but I am."

It's strange to say that they are also professionals in bad movies, such as Liu Dehua and Gu Tianle are very tolerated by the audience, while the leader, Fat Bing and many traffic stars are scolded all over.

In fact, if you count carefully, the total number of bad movies acted by ten traffic stars may not be as many as Liu Tianwang alone.

But no matter how many bad movies Liu Tianwang plays, he is still an artist with zero negative reviews, you can't accept it.

Yueguan's word-of-mouth and popularity are pretty good now, but he doesn't dare to touch a bad movie of the level of "Tianji: Dwelling in Fuchun Mountains". The trust of fans really can't stand the toss, unless you are Andy Lau.

Hearing what Yue Guan said, Mo Xiangwan thought of Andy Lau's glorious record, and also realized the risk.

"You are right. If you really want to enter the film industry, you must not choose the wrong movie for the first time, otherwise it will be difficult to enter. I will contact the producer and read the script first."

"What's the good news?" Yue Guan asked.

A smile appeared on Mo Xiangwan's face: "You were also approached for another movie. The investment and lineup are not as good as "Tianji · Dwelling in Fuchun Mountains", but it's not too bad, and the producer wants you to be the leading actor. , no audition required."

This is indeed very sincere, even the audition can be exempted.

But Yue Guan was not too excited: "With my qualifications in the film industry, I can be the leading actor without auditioning, which means that there is no star bigger than me in the crew, isn't that right?"

"The heroine is also quite popular."

"Who is the heroine?"

"Yang Mi, it is said that she took the initiative to suggest that the producer find you as the leading actor, and also said that you can make requests and modify the plot line and character design of the leading actor and heroine."

Yue Guan blinked: "Do you value me so much? Is there something inside?"

"I asked, Yang Mi and Tang Yan are best friends, and Tang Yan often praises you in front of Yang Mi, plus your reputation and brilliant record, Yang Mi probably wants to cooperate with you. Once the smoke becomes popular, you will make a lot of money. Now you are the male artist that female stars in the entertainment industry most want to work with, and many people are staring at you."

Yue Guan: "..." He was flattered.

Fortunately, I am also a person who has seen the world.

"What kind of movie is this?" Yue Guan asked.

"A martial arts movie is in line with your identity as a martial arts author." Mo Xiangwan said: "The name of the movie is tentatively set to be "The Great Wudang Code of Heaven and Earth"."

Yue Guan coughed loudly.

This nima is really a "good cake".

He didn't dare to eat it when it was delivered to him.

"What's wrong with you?" Mo Xiangwan asked suspiciously.

Yue Guan rubbed his head: "Has the script been sent yet?"

"No, but the investor said that you can modify the script. The investor trusts your ability to control the plot. Even if the script is not satisfactory, you can change it to satisfy yourself."

Mo Xiangwan also had confidence in Yue Guan's ability to control the plot.

Only Yueguan didn't...

"Great Wudang: The Code of Heaven and Earth" is only slightly better than "Tianji · Dwelling in Fuchun Mountains", a bad movie, how can he change it?

If he really wants to change it, he must completely overturn and rewrite the plot.

Then he still made a fart of "The Code of the Great Wudang World", wouldn't it be easier to organize a bureau and start a new project by himself.

"Sister Xiang Wan, if you come to me for a play outside, you must read the script first and notify me in time, so don't take it directly." Yue Guan was afraid.

What kind of monsters are these.

Mo Xiangwan saw what Yueguan meant: "You don't even want to pick it up?"

"No, I have the time to modify the plot for them. Wouldn't it be nice for our company to make a movie by ourselves?"

"But our company has no experience in producing and distributing movies, and there are no big directors in charge."

"Big director? In the entertainment industry in the future, maybe all the big directors will step down from the altar. The new generation of audiences only look at the quality of the movie, and they will watch it if the film is good. If the film is not good, it doesn't matter how famous the director is."

Yue Guan is not superstitious about this.

The times are rolling forward, and when they abandon you, they don't even remind you.

As for those great directors, it is difficult for them to keep up with this new era.

"well said."

"The film industry is a place where strength speaks. The future film industry must be an era in which newcomers emerge in large numbers."
