Accidental Mark

【Accidental Mark · Chapter 71】

At the moment when the statistical results were announced, not only the passers-by were stunned, but the bosses of other platforms, investors and actors of major IP dramas also felt incredible!

A 20-episode campus web drama. After the project was established, there was no splash. During the filming, there was no trending search. The two leading actors were even 1-line small transparency that they had never heard of... How could it be possible to surpass the star-studded big IP? Drama, won the No.[-] summer file?

Many people are guessing: "Is this data swiped?" "It must be swiped. After finishing 20 episodes from the beginning to the end, the number of views will be 20. If you find the water army to swipe dozens of times, the number of views will go up?" "

Fans of other dramas were all sour, and some even blatantly went to the official blog to scold: "You guys have gone too far with your stats!"

Pei Shaoze didn't ask Shui Jun to scan the data."Folding Paper" reached hundreds of millions of views that day. There must be many viewers who thought it was good after watching it, and rewatched it from the beginning, or someone bought it out and lent their account to relatives and friends. This part of the views is indeed double counted. .

But what cannot be ignored is that the new broadcast volume of "Folding Paper" is also considerable.

Mr. Liu really wanted to hold Pei Shaoze and cry. He was actually under great pressure when he bought this drama. He was just the vice president in charge of source procurement. If the drama lost money, he would not be able to follow The company management explained.But now, the results of folding paper have exceeded everyone's expectations. In just five days after the completion, the background payment amount has reached 3000 million!

3000 million!A lot of online movies only cost a little money for a holiday, and the folding paper can be done in 5 days!

When a colleague from the data department showed him the record, he couldn't believe it, so he called Pei Shaoze on the spot: "Mr. Pei, our folding paper is really amazing. At present, more than 600 million viewers have bought it. For 10 episodes of the show, the background accounts reached 3000 million!"

According to the sharing ratio, Pei Shaoze has already recovered the investment cost, and can make a net profit of 200 million.

Investors who can recover the cost and make money for the first time in the investment are rare in the industry. Most investors will lose their underwear on the first drama they test the water.Mr. Liu thought excitedly, his first impression was indeed right. When he first talked with Pei Shaoze, he was convinced by the man's calm and confident eyes, so he took the risk to sign the unprecedented "box office split" sales model.

I thought Pei Shaoze would be excited too, but the man on the phone was still calm: "I checked the data, and the traffic of today's summer vacation has increased by about 10% year-on-year compared to last year. After the IP drama is broadcast, there will still be a large number of viewers coming to our "Folding Paper", and the revenue of this drama can be doubled several times."

How many times can it be doubled?Mr. Liu beamed when he heard that: "Mr. Pei, everyone on the Internet has been scolding us for using data these days. Tonight, the Linghu TV official blog will throw out the background payment rate and hit them in the face. Hahaha, just wait and see the good show." I guess the platform that didn’t buy your drama back then would be pissed off. You don’t know, the number of newly registered users of Linghu TV has increased by hundreds of thousands every day, all of which are drawn from folding paper. of!"

Mr. Liu can't wait to jump over and hug Pei Shaoze's thigh - because of this drama, his year-end award is probably doubled!

As the fourth largest broadcasting platform in China, Linghu TV has been struggling to grab users from the top three. Their platform started late, and the capital strength behind them is not as strong as the top three. They often fail to grab big-produced IP dramas.Unexpectedly, a little-known online school drama, with just 20 episodes of cookies, would have such a terrifying influence!

Many people sign up for "Spirit Fox TV" just to buy "Folding Paper". After all, it is an exclusive buy-out system.It is precisely because of this that the number of daily active users of Linghu TV in the past few days has surpassed that of the third platform, approaching the second platform My Neighbor Totoro TV!

The executives of Linghu almost rolled their eyes out of shock—dark horse, they have experienced the terrible dark horse effect!

***

That night, on the fifth day after "Folding Paper" ended, Linghu TV released a poster: "Congratulations to "Folding Paper" paying more than 3500 million yuan!"

In just a few hours after Mr. Liu made the call, another 500 million was paid. Colleagues from the Linghu Propaganda Department had just completed the "over 3000 million" poster. The boss made an emergency call and said excitedly: "3500 million! , change the poster quickly!"

The Propaganda Department worked overtime, and the new poster was released on time at 8:[-] p.m.

Other platforms: "..."

really? !Pay for itself so quickly?

In comparison, although the advanced on-demand payment for several of their dramas is tens of millions, their investment is hundreds of millions!Moreover, "Folding Paper" has been gaining momentum in the past few days. After winning the No. 1 play volume of the day, it seems that it has no intention of falling...

It actually firmly occupied the first place!

This is terrible. Many netizens follow suit. When they see No.1 on the ranking list, they can’t help but click in curiously. As long as "Folding Paper" can retain the audience who clicked in, this part of the audience will turn into paying users, and even Therefore, a long-term member who joined Linghu TV...

Several major platforms have felt a powerful threat.

Cui Jue's complexion was extremely ugly. After more than 7 days of fighting since its first broadcast on July 10, their "Mirror Flowers and Water Moon" has been a bit of a mess, but it has been firmly occupying the No. 20 summer vacation slot.Unexpectedly, on August 1, 8 days after the folding paper was completed, they would overtake them in one go!

A campus network drama with an investment of 1000 million yuan surpassed a fairy tale IP drama with an investment of several hundred million yuan? !

Two little-known [-]th-line little transparent newcomers starring, and the recent attention has surpassed the first-line actor and actress in the circle? !

The user retention rate is 80%, the payment rate exceeds 70%, and the dazzling data that breaks the records of online dramas slaps him in the face like a slap!

Apparently, this show was lucky and met a large number of tap water netizens who helped promote it.Similar dark horse explosions have appeared in previous years. Once word of mouth goes up, God can't stop it!

Cui Jue gritted his teeth angrily, a trace of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes, he made a phone call, and said in a low voice: "You must hold back the momentum of "Folding Paper" for me, and you can't let Pei Shaoze take advantage of it. Starting with their actors, give I'm looking for black material!"

***

At the same time, Pei Shaoze was looking at the data analysis table sent by Linghu TV. The payment rate of 70% was really outstanding compared with the data of several other advanced on-demand companies.

The phone rang suddenly, it was Cheng Xia's request for a video call.

Pei Shaoze closed his laptop, picked up the call, and there really was a boy in front of him that made him miss him so much.

Cheng Xia looked very happy, with a bright smile on his face: "Brother Pei, I just saw the poster posted by Linghu TV. The purchase volume of our show has reached 3500 million. Can you recover the cost?" What he cares about is not whether he is popular or not, but whether his Brother Pei will lose money.

Pei Shaoze's heart warmed, and the corners of his lips raised slightly: "3500 million is just the beginning, and there will be continuous income in the next six months. This drama is a long-term word-of-mouth drama, and the final profit must exceed your imagination. "

"It's great, everyone in our C group can follow the boss!" Cheng Xia asked with a smile: "By the way, are you still so busy recently?"

"Well. Taking advantage of the popularity of word-of-mouth, do some follow-up publicity... What's wrong?"

Cheng Xia whispered, "It's nothing, I just miss you a little."

Pei Shaoze's heart trembled slightly, the boy's straightforward expression really touched the softness in his heart.

"From your return to Rongcheng on June 6th to today's August 8th, we haven't seen each other for 8 days." Cheng Xia looked at the man in the video and said seriously, "I dream of you every night ..." At this point, he seemed embarrassed, his cheeks flushed slightly.

"I'll come to the crew to see you tomorrow." Pei Shaoze said in a low voice, "I miss you too."

"..." These four words, spoken in Alpha's deep, sexy voice, almost made people's ears pregnant.Thinking of those fragments in the dream, Cheng Xia's face was so hot that it was on fire, and he hurriedly changed the subject and asked, "Aren't you delaying work by flying Ya'an so suddenly?"

"No delay. I'll contact the media reporter over there to do an interview with you for publicity." Pei Shaoze's eyes were gentle, "It's getting late, go to bed first, and you can see me tomorrow."

"Well, good night, Brother Pei." Cheng Xia was reluctant to turn off the video, and wanted to wait for Pei Shaoze to do it first, but Pei Shaoze was waiting for Cheng Xia to do it first.After the two said good night, they didn't press the button to end the call, and stared at each other for a while.

After an unknown amount of time, Pei Shaoze chuckled and said, "You should close it first."

Cheng Xia blushed a little: "See you tomorrow!" He quickly turned off the call and got into bed, thinking that Brother Pei would come to see him tomorrow, he felt sweet in his heart, and after thinking wildly for a long time, he closed his eyes and fell asleep.

Pei Shaoze booked a flight at 10:30 the next day, and went to bed early.

In the dream, a lot of plump oranges burrowed into his arms, surrounded by the sweet smell of oranges. Pei Shaoze was in a great mood, and when he woke up the next day he felt refreshed. He shaved in front of the mirror, After tidying himself up, he asked Uncle Zhong to take him to the airport.

Director Zhu was filming a drama when he came to the film and television city.In this scene, Xu Ziyang and Professor Lin finally found a clue from a cat. Cheng Xia was holding a small tabby cat in his arms and was happily petting the cat.

The first person to spot Pei Shaoze was Pei Shaoyan. He immediately stood up and shouted loudly when he met the eyes of his eldest brother, "Boss Pei is here!"

The people around turned around and saw Pei Shaoze, and greeted one after another: "Mr. Pei!" "Long time no see, Mr. Pei!"

Pei Shaoze nodded towards them and walked all the way to Cheng Xia.Cheng Xia raised her head and met the man's eyes. The two of them looked at each other across the crowd. It was obvious that they had only been separated for two months, but the deep-seated miss seemed to be separated for a long, long time...

Cheng Xia wished she could throw herself into the man's arms and hug him tightly.

However, there were too many people around, so he could only politely shout: "Boss Pei..."

Pei Shaoze walked up to him, stretched out his hand, and wanted to gently rub the boy's head, but in the end he put his hand on the cat in his arms, gently stroked the kitten's head, looked at Cheng Xia and said : "Where did this cat come from? It's cute." Just as cute as you.

Cheng Xia smiled and said, "It's Director Zhu's cat. He brought it for filming. This cat is now the favorite of the whole crew."

The little cat was very comfortable being touched by Pei Shaoze, and it "meowed" in Cheng Xia's arms.

Pei Shaoze looked at Director Zhu: "Director Zhu's cat?"

Director Zhu said solemnly: "Many clues in this show are related to cats. I was worried that if I found a random cat that wouldn't cooperate with the filming, I would bring our family Spot Spot over here." Everyone around laughed: "Spot Spot's acting skills are extraordinary Alright, hahaha, the best actor among cats!" "Director Zhu yelled at it, it is obedient, and will take the initiative to look at the camera!"

Cheng Xia also smiled and said: "Yeah, it has a good sense of the lens, isn't it, actor?"

The kitten in his arms seemed to be agreeing, and "meowed" again.

The picture of Cheng Xia hugging the cat is very warm, and the young boy seems to be a very caring person.

Seeing that the crew had a harmonious atmosphere, Pei Shaoze felt relieved a lot.

At least during the time he was away, Cheng Xia got along well with the crew, and there was a cute pet to accompany Cheng Xia.

He looked at Pei Shaoyan and asked, "How are you studying with Director Zhu and Producer Xu?" Pei Shaoyan hurriedly stood at attention: "I have learned a lot of knowledge, and I know what to do when producing a drama. Take good care of me!"

Sister Xu from Linhua Films said, "Boss Pei, your little assistant is very smart, and you can teach him well."

Pei Shaoze nodded with satisfaction: "That's good. I'm not here for a while, everyone has worked hard, and I invite you to dinner tonight."

There was cheering all around.

Pei Shaoze booked the buffet hall of Ya'an International Hotel, and the whole crew could eat whatever they wanted.

At the dinner, Director Zhu took the initiative to say: "Mr. Pei, I watched "Folding Paper". Cheng Xia's performance in the play is really good. This show has a very good performance and can be said to be the dark horse of the year. You choose Linghu TV, It is also unprecedented to start the model of buying out online dramas and sharing accounts, which is really far-sighted."

Producer Xu boasted: "I have also watched this drama. It is indeed the most exquisite film in the summer vacation. 20 episodes, no water injection, no procrastination, and a very comfortable rhythm. It is the first time for President Pei to be a producer, and he can make such an excellent film." drama, I feel ashamed to have been the producer for so many years."

Pei Shaoze thought that it was because he had many years of experience in another world.

The people around are praising Mr. Pei's vision and "Folding Paper" for their sincerity and flattery. Cheng Xia feels proud in his heart, and feels that his favorite Alpha is really excellent...

Pei Shaoze turned his head and saw Cheng Xia's "little fan" eyes, and couldn't help but feel soft.

Long time no see, Xiao Chengxia actually lost some weight. It seems that he worked very hard for this drama. It took so long for the 12-episode short play to come to an end, which shows how strict Director Zhu is. A scene was shot many times. Cheng Xia has so many roles in the play, he must be very tired.

It's time to reward him.

Pei Shaoze looked at Zhu Zheng: "Director Zhu, I would like to borrow Cheng Xia from the crew for a day. Tomorrow, a media interview is arranged to cooperate with the promotion of "Folding Paper". Look, can the crew's announcement be changed and Cheng Xia asked for a day off? "

Director Zhu thought for a while, then nodded and said, "No problem. Tomorrow, we'll finish filming the rivalry scene between the villain and Professor Lin, and Cheng Xia's part will be filmed the day after tomorrow. This drama is about to wrap up, so there's no rush."

Pei Shaoze said politely, "Thank you, Director Zhu."

He looked at Cheng Xia, with a business-like tone: "Cheng Xia, follow me to the reporter from Today's Entertainment tomorrow."

Cheng Xia nodded seriously: "Okay, Boss Pei!"

Pei Shaoyan: "..."

He was fed another mouthful of dog food by his eldest brother and Cheng Xia.
