[US Entertainment] From web dramas to Oscars

Chapter 9

The shooting of "Sophia's Diary" can be said to be simpler than Fopper expected.After all, most people say that they were born in a junior college. For them, acting in this kind of online drama that does not require much acting skills may be said to be overqualified.So "Sophia's Diary" is shooting at a speed of two episodes a day.At the same time, on Fopper's blog, they also spare no effort to promote "Sophia's Diary".

In fact, it feels different to have Hughes. He deserves to be the man who used the Internet to create the president of the United States in the future. After trying the novelty of shooting life, he still decided to enrich his old profession and help Fopper in "Sophia" Diary promotion.

Experts will know if there is one as soon as they make a move.With the addition of Hughes, it can be said that the audience and familiarity of "Sophia's Diary" have greatly increased on the Internet.Because the few spoof MVs posted on Goldfinger Studio's blog before had a very effective influence.So in less than half a month, Goldfinger Studio has transformed itself from an unknown existence to a well-known entertainment studio in reality.At the same time, because "Living Together with a Doctor" was updated on Novels.com, the pseudonym Goldfinger has also become a new popular author.

"So, our problem now is not fame, but lack of money." Since Goldfinger Studio was first established, there are not all kinds of personnel, and each person can only play several roles.As an artist, Zhao Liang was originally in charge of online promotion.But when Hughes arrived, he smoothly retreated to the second line and became a helper to help translate the current progress of the publicity situation.So he had the chance to get Fopper to find him some work.For example...it became finance.

"No money?" Fopper thought about it carefully. It seems that this is really the case. From the establishment of Goldfinger Studio and the filming of the crew of "Sophie's Diary", to the investment in Facebook, all his savings even Home mortgage loans are invested in it.But his funds are limited after all, and his support up to now is considered the limit.

"Yeah." Probably because Fopper didn't know much about Zhijian, so Zhao Liang explained: "At most, we can continue to shoot "Sophia's Diary" for about two or three days, and Hughes can't even promote it anymore. Continue. After all, paying people to promote it on the Internet is also an expense." After a pause, Zhao Liang continued: "Although "The Days of Living Together with the Teacher" has already signed a good contract with the publisher It is ready to be published. But because we are going to be fully serialized on the Internet, the publisher is not particularly optimistic about the sales volume, and does not agree to give us a manuscript fee first. Therefore, we are really starting to have funding problems now. "

"Since this is the case... let's release "Sophia's Diary" immediately." Fopper made the final decision.

Because of the previous bombardment of the series of spoof MVs of "OMG" and the popularity of the novel "Living with the Doctor", the blog of Goldfinger Studio has become the most famous blog.Therefore, people have expressed great interest in "Sophia's Diary", which has been publicized for several days.

"Did you see the announcement on the blog? Tonight at eight o'clock, "Sophia's Diary" will be published on the blog." Zhao Qian spoke in the QQ group.In fact, this is already the fifth QQ group she has joined.These QQ groups are different. Some discuss "The Day I Lived With the Doctor", some discuss spoof videos, and some even look forward to "Sophia's Diary".But no matter what, these QQ groups are fans of Goldfinger Studio.

"I see! Looking forward to it!"

"Just wait until eight o'clock."

"It is said that two episodes will be broadcast every day!"

Zhao Qian's words caused many netizens who were diving to leave messages. In fact, there are not so many projects on the Internet at this time, so the diving party is only a small number of people, basically everyone who plays QQ, They all like to chat on QQ.

The time for online chatting is very fast, and the time has come to eight o'clock before you know it, and just after eight o'clock, the QQ group has become strangely silent for a while, and it is conceivable that everyone ran to the blog Went to watch the video.

Of course, Zhao Qian is no exception. Relying on the fact that her broadband is better than others, she quickly entered the blog page.And the homepage of the blog at this time is also very powerful.

"Sophia's Diary! Another masterpiece from Goldfinger Studio!"

The huge title represents how popular the blog of Goldfinger Studio is now.In fact, after "Living Together with a Doctor" had over [-] million hits on the blog, the blog's homepage had silently advertised Goldfinger Studio's blog on the homepage.

Click the link directly, and the web page transitions to the video page.

In this era, there is no cheating [-]s, and there is no such thing as a treasured sword and dragon slaying!So immediately, Zhao Qian saw the text of "Sophia's Diary".

Once caught in the eye, it is typing like chatting.

Sophia: I have safely arrived on Mars - the capital city, don't miss me too much :)

"Arrived Mars safely, poof." Just after reading the beginning, Zhao Qian was amused.

But then, a picture that caught her attention even more appeared.

Pictures that looked like comics appeared in front of Zhao Qian accompanied by a lively female voice.

"Hi everyone, I'm Sophia, female, male, [-] years old, Aquarius, blood type B." As the voice fell, a generous girl appeared on the computer screen, looking very pure and lovely.

But in the next moment, the style of the video changed.With a deep sense of depression, people fully understood what kind of existence Sophia, the protagonist who came to Shanghai from other places, was like.

"My dad is older than I imagined, and my dad's new daughter-in-law looks younger than me. She looks big and brainless, but she hides a knife in her smile. And my half brother, I can only say that I hold back strangle his desire..."

"High school will always be everyone's nightmare. But me, it is everyone's nightmare in our high school. Because before the college entrance examination, I did something that our principals dare not do-I lost our The lab was blown up..."

As the time passed minute by minute, the characters in the plot also appeared one by one. Each of them seemed to be a person living in Zhao Qian's life, with a sense of intimacy and joy.

"Sophia's Diary" is very short, less than 10 minutes.So after watching it quickly, she clicked on the next episode without hesitation.

However, even if it was a two-episode TV series, it only lasted less than 15 minutes, so after watching it quickly again, Zhao Qian immediately entered into what the party should do, which was to leave a message under the blog to urge updates.

In fact, when she clicked in, many people had already done so.

"I beg for the third episode!" - I am a little bird

"Didn't you say that "Sophia's Diary" is a TV series? Tell me what [-] minutes is? Hurry up and let it last for [-] minutes!" ——Can't help it

"Looking good, I hope more episodes will be played tomorrow!" - Famous Mountains Ten Thousand Years Ago

Silently left a reminder message at the bottom, Zhao Qian returned to the page again, and clicked to watch "Sophia's Diary" again.

In fact, for people who are exposed to web dramas such as "Sophia's Diary" for the first time.It simply has an extraordinary new gravity.In just three days, Sophie's Diary had an impact far greater than that of "Living with the Doctor".Print newspapers also reported on this popular TV series on the Internet.

"Internet TV dramas are popular on the Internet? Is it a deliberate production by the Shanghai Academy of Drama?"

——"Pearl Daily"

""Sophia's Diary" is popular on the Internet, and Sofia has become a new teenage goddess!"

——"Monthly Weekly"

"Goldfinger Studio is innovating, from online clips to TV dramas, a film and television studio is born!"

—— "Entertainment Today"

Because of the popularity of "Sophia's Diary", the members of the entire "Sophia's Diary" crew have also become somewhat famous.In addition to being the leading actor, other people are more or less beginning to know.As for Fopper, he was reduced to a guest star because of the number of people and the relatively large number of things, but he was not well understood.But his other identity, the director and screenwriter of "Sophia's Diary" is the golden finger, but it is popular on the Internet, and it has also affected the real world.

"So, Unicharm wants to invest in our TV series?" Hearing Yuqing's words, Fopper raised his eyebrows.

"That's right." Yu Qing, who was caught by Fu Po La's strong man when he rushed back from the imperial capital, said, "Just put an advertisement at the beginning and end. For this, they are willing to pay [-] yuan." Here, Yuqing couldn't help being surprised.After all, [-] yuan was not a small amount in [-]. Even on TV dramas on physical TV stations, [-] yuan could get a good advertising space.

"Tell them that the way of advertising is up to us, and we have to sign a conditional agreement with them. If "Sophia's Diary" becomes more popular, then the advertising fee will continue to rise. If they agree to these, we also agree with them now price." It is not surprising that Unicharm, or Unicharm Household Products (Huaxia) Co., Ltd. wants to get the advertisement of "Sophia's Diary" Fopper.After all, Sophie had only been in China for less than two years at this time.Unicharm's products haven't occupied much of the Chinese market, so advertising is essential, and the TV series "Sophia's Diary" seems to be tailor-made for them.They have no reason not to.

"No problem." Nodding, Yuqing said that she understood.Then, she said to Fopper as if she remembered something: "By the way, you should still remember the meeting tomorrow, right? I was fooled by you from Beijing. It will be up to you later."

"No problem." Hearing Yuqing's words, Fopper smiled and spoke immediately, with a firm tone.
