Although it will take a week after "The Legend of Zhen Huan" is released on the Internet to count the number of paid subscribers, the media has already begun to hype it.
As the number one drama of the year, at this critical moment, it has naturally attracted the attention of countless entertainment media.
The TV station's broadcast time limit and audience limit determine its narrowness and determine that it cannot become a standard for measuring the success of a TV series.
According to the results of the "2000 National TV Audience Sampling Survey Report" released by China National Television, the number of people nationwide watching TV during the prime time of evening TV dramas was 100 million.
In early 2001, the "Statistical Report on the Development of China's Internet Network in 2000" released by the China Internet Network Information Center in Shanghai showed that there were 500 million Internet users in China! And 300 million people had the habit of paying to watch movies and TV series!
100 million:300 million.
The data difference is huge!
Moreover, one is free to watch and the other is paid to watch, the gap is as big as the sky.
Therefore, a TV series' high ratings on TV stations does not mean that it can be successful.
And what can really measure the success of a TV series is the online video station! It is the decisive battlefield!
On the online video site, the most popular TV series is the "Reign of Zhenguan", which is known as the epic drama. It was produced by China Television Group in the second half of 1998 and sold 1.683 billion in one year!
1.683 billion!!
At that time, as soon as this play came out, all the dramas retreated, it was unstoppable and invincible!
And what about the second place? It is a historical drama of the Republic of China called "Beautiful Lady", with only 580 million!
A total of 1.1 billion yuan was pulled away!
It was trampled to the ground without even a scrap left. Although "Beautiful Lady" is a well-made TV series, it is destined to be a forgotten TV series.
As soon as 1.683 billion came out, the entire Internet was shocked! Everyone went crazy!!
This is simply a miracle in the history of TV dramas! No... it should be said to be a miracle!!
No matter how good it is on TV, no matter how high the price is, the results cannot compare with that unattainable 1.6 billion!!
Never possible!!
Since then, everyone has begun to recognize one thing: whether a TV series is truly successful ultimately depends on its sales power on online video sites.
If "The Legend of Zhen Huan" can sell well online, it will naturally be regarded as a magical drama by countless people. If "The Legend of Zhen Huan" cannot sell well, it only means that it is well-received but not popular. What's worse is that it cannot pass the strict review of the public's discerning eyes.
pseudo-divine drama.
Countless media are looking forward to it.
Countless fans of Zhen Huan are eagerly looking forward to it.
Wang Shang was also extremely nervous.
Oriental Entertainment: "Countless fans of Zhen Huan launched a large order support campaign on the official website of "The Legend of Zhen Huan" to support "The Legend of Zhen Huan"!"
Southern Starlight: "Datang International and Liuku.com are using all their promotional methods to provide more support for "The Legend of Zhen Huan"!"
Tomato TV “The whole of China seems to have turned into a sea of Zhen Huan at this moment!”
Magic City Star News, Pearl Entertainment...
The major media outlets are keeping an eye on the trends everywhere and trying their best to dig out first-hand information about "The Legend of Zhen Huan".
It has been a long time since the national media focused on the same thing.
All because "The Legend of Zhen Huan" has become the first drama of the new century on television.
Time is passing slowly...
All Zhen Huan fans are anxiously looking forward to...
Hundreds of millions of people are eagerly awaiting...
…
A week later, Wang Shang and Tang Zongshi all gathered at the headquarters building of Liuku.com, eagerly looking forward to the birth of that data.
"The payment data has been officially compiled!!" A network backend operations director, sweating profusely, held a report and excitedly handed it to Xie Hao, the president of Liuku.com.
The key data needs to be reported to the leader, even though he has seen the staggering amount of data!
Xie Hao, the president of Liuku.com, took the report and his face instantly turned red and his blood was boiling. Soon he announced the final data for the first week in a roaring voice.
Within one week (168 hours), a total of 65,074,354 people paid online!!
0 people watched it at one time! 0 people watched it monthly!
65,074,354 people per year!
Total revenue is 520 million yuan!!
Everyone present at Wang Shang, Datang International, Liuku.com and their friends were shocked!
It’s so outrageous!!
Tang Zongshi's secretary even exclaimed: "Oh my God! If "The Legend of Zhen Huan" really sells for one year, wouldn't it be incredible?"
Xie Hao, the president of Liuku.com, had already forced himself to calm down: "This group of people in the first week are basically fans of "The Legend of Zhen Huan". When the fans of "The Legend of Zhen Huan" are gradually consumed, the number of people paying will increase in a straight line.
It’s gone down. But…”
The president of Liuku.com changed the topic and said passionately: "The sales performance of "The Legend of Zhen Huan" this week has directly surpassed the sales results of countless TV series accumulated for a whole year! It has directly jumped to the third place, and is infinitely close to the second place.
The total annual sales of "Beautiful Lady in the Fire", if it doesn't defy the heavens, who would defy the heavens!!"
Then he raised his arms and his eyes shone: "Currently, the maximum sales of a TV series on major video websites is 1.683 billion yuan. It is the only "Reign of Zhenguan" that has been called an epic drama so far.
!With the current situation of "The Legend of Zhen Huan", I believe it will be able to surpass it!!"
Everyone here was extremely excited when they heard this. This is simply making history. What could be more exciting than this!!
The president of Liuku.com and Tang Zongshi were extremely surprised and toasted each other to celebrate the birth of this cornucopia. Their eyes turned green when they looked at Wang Shang: "Is there a new script?!!"
Wang Shang dealt with the two wolves one after another, but he was also very surprised. Regardless of other fame and fortune, based on the 520 million figure alone, he made a net profit of 5.2 million yuan in this week, which was simply a money grab!
No, it should be said that they are simply printing money!!
President Liu Ku quickly issued an order: "Announce this news immediately!! I want everyone across the country to know!!"
Tang Zongshi was still thinking about publishing how much money Wang Shang earned in order to add fuel to the fire, but Wang Shang stopped him in time. Otherwise, Wang Shang might be added to the scandal later.
A new screenwriter earned 5.2 million yuan from one script in just one week, plus the original more than 3 million yuan, a total of 8 million yuan. Telling it will definitely scare countless people.
But Wang Shang is already very popular now, and if he adds fuel to the fire, he will probably suffer the consequences.
It is enough for a new editor who has just debuted to achieve such an achievement, which makes people proud. However, Wang Shang wants to keep a low profile at this time and does not dare to show too much attention. Too much limelight will easily make people jealous.
Fortunately, only a few senior executives of Datang International knew about the 4% share agreement and it was not leaked.
Liuku.com soon announced the sales results, instantly causing a nationwide sensation.
Countless media outlets rushed to report on it.
Countless celebrities in the entertainment industry are jealous of their thick necks and wish they could participate in this TV series so that they could leave their names on it.
Countless TV drama directors and film and television production companies are gearing up to prepare new TV series and strive to become the next "The Legend of Zhen Huan".
The most surprising thing is the hundreds of millions of fans of Zhen Huan, who repeatedly shouted: "Support Zhen Huan!! Defeat "The Reign of Zhenguan"!! Create a new myth!!"
Countless fans of Zhen Huan were so excited that they began to publicize it everywhere and get people to pay to watch "The Legend of Zhen Huan".
Many people who have not watched "The Legend of Zhen Huan" or who disdain to watch it are finally a little shaken when they hear this news: "If you don't watch a classic, you will be at a disadvantage. Maybe you will like it, but you may not like it."
"The Legend of Zhen Huan" continues to sell like hotcakes!!
…
Because the sales performance of "The Legend of Zhen Huan" was strong enough to outperform the rest of the pack, Wang Shang's new screenwriter Wang was finally able to seal the deal, and was soon given a new nickname: "The King!"
Wang Shang - Your Majesty - Your Majesty.
Originally, terms such as 'Emperor' and 'Your Majesty' were more domineering and revealing, but after official fan research, the title 'King' was finally adopted. It doesn't need to be too arrogant, but it still looks domineering and a little naughty.
When thinking of the plot in Journey to the West, "My King! My King!!! That monkey is coming to kill me!", Wang Shang instantly turned into a miserable mountain king. How happy he was.
When Wang Shang heard this nickname, he immediately had a dark look on his face, not because of the Mountain King, but because he thought of something else...
King diapers...
Diapers...
Diapers...
pants……
Wang Shang almost spit out a mouthful of blood!!!
"Your sister!! I hate the king!!"
However, this nickname was completely placed on Wang Shang's head, and Wang Shang also discovered that there is no such brand as Dawang Diapers in this world...
Wang Shang looked around with a guilty conscience, held his chest and breathed a sigh of relief, with a look of joy on his face.
