The total number of views of the drama "Dead Man's Last Wish" exceeded one million, much faster than Sun Quan expected. When the third and fourth episodes were updated that morning, it was still twenty minutes before 12 noon.
This drama has more than one million views.
At that time, Sun Quan, who was having dinner at home, received another call from Xue Zihan.
As soon as the phone call came through, Xue Zihan told him the good news.
"Ah Quan, one million, one million views!"
At that time, Sun Quan put a piece of sweet and sour pork ribs to his mouth. Suddenly he heard this and was stunned. He forgot to bring the delicious sweet and sour pork ribs to his mouth for a while.
"real?"
He asked subconsciously.
Xue Zihan: "Well, of course! Would I still lie to you about this kind of thing? You can watch it online yourself!"
In fact, just after Sun Quan asked that question, he knew in his heart that he had asked nonsense.
It was impossible for Xue Zihan to lie to him about this kind of thing.
He smiled and said, "Good thing, by the way, have you had lunch?"
After asking, he put the sweet and sour pork ribs into his mouth.
In fact, when he asked this, it was not that he cared much about whether Xue Zihan had lunch.
It is similar to the old tradition of serving tea to guests. The ancients had more etiquette and were more reserved. If they wanted a guest from home to get out, they would not say it outright.
Instead, he picks up the cup and drinks tea, and may even ask the other person to drink too.
Doesn’t it seem polite at first glance?
In reality?
This is a hint to the guest that it's time for you to get out.
Guests who are alert enough will leave voluntarily. Guests who are not alert enough will gradually feel embarrassed when the host doesn't talk much and calls you to drink tea every time he talks, and feels that nothing can be done if he continues to sit down.
If you do, you'll usually take the initiative to say goodbye and leave.
Sun Quan was eating at this time, but Xue Zihan just called and said a few words. He was too embarrassed to talk about it later.
I casually asked Xue Zihan if he had eaten.
On the phone, Xue Zihan hadn't realized his intention yet, "No! This morning, I have been paying attention to the popularity and reputation of our drama, and I am not very hungry yet."
Sun Quan spat out the bones in his mouth and said with a smile: "It's getting late, you'd better go eat quickly! I've already eaten everything here."
Xue Zihan was speechless for two seconds, "Okay, okay, then I'll go to eat. I'll stop talking here and won't disturb you while you eat."
She is quite conscious.
End the call.
Sun Quan threw the phone aside and continued to eat.
Everyone at the table at home glanced at him curiously.
Han Li: "Brother-in-law, who is it? It sounds like a woman's voice?"
She was probably asking for her cousin Yuan Shuiqing.
Sun Quan glanced at her and said casually: "Xue Zihan from Xianyu Film and Television just called me and told me that our company's drama has been watched more than one million times."
This is good news, and he is willing to share it with everyone.
Sure enough, upon hearing this, everyone present looked somewhat surprised.
Xu Mei: "Really, this is great! One million...can make a lot of money, right?"
She is illiterate and doesn't know how to surf the Internet. She has no idea about a show that has millions of viewers or tens of millions of viewers.
Sun Zhicai: "That's for sure! One million, you can definitely make a lot of money, right Aquan?"
He has little education, doesn't know how to surf the Internet, and has no idea about viewership data.
And their common identity is Sun Quan's parents.
Therefore, at this moment, Sun Quan was helpless and smiled bitterly.
Yuan Shuiqing glanced at Sun Quan, smiled and explained a few words to his parents, so that they didn't let them continue to make jokes.
But overall, everyone was still very happy, and everyone praised Sun Quan several times.
They all praised Sun Quan until they blushed a little.
…
That afternoon, Sun Quan returned to his office at Xianyu Studio. After turning on his computer, he made tea and logged into the author's forum to see how his drama was being discussed on the forum today.
In his impression, although the people on the author's forum are very capable of trolling people and there are many people with eye syndrome, most people's appreciation ability is still acceptable.
In his memory, a very magical phenomenon gradually formed on the original time and space author forum.
It has been summed up by some authors as follows: the more aggressively a novel is criticized on the author's forum, the more likely it is to become a hit at the beginning.
Not to mention, as far as Sun Quan himself observed back then, it was really like this.
On author forums, novels that are criticized as toxic or highly toxic will have a higher number of subscriptions in Qidian.
And since then, he has been looking forward to the day when someone will criticize his work on the author forum, and he also hopes that those people will criticize him more harshly!
He had been looking forward to that for many years, and finally, before he was reborn, when he wrote the book "My Decathlon", the new book issue hadn't even hit the shelves yet!
He suddenly received a QQ private message from a book fan of his, telling him that someone was hacking him on the author forum and dumped the link to the post to him.
At that time, he was confused, but also very happy.
It’s not easy! Has someone finally hacked me on the author forum?
Am I about to get angry?
He opened the post with great interest, read all the contents of the post, and happily read all the replies below.
He found that at least dozens of people pointed out every poisonous point in his book in that post.
Some are on point, and some are just nonsense.
But it didn't affect his mood at all, that's not right! In fact, it did affect his mood, but those black remarks didn't make him angry or depressed, but made him happy.
Sure enough, when his book was written and put on the shelves, the first subscription data was the best among all the works he had written for many years.
In this regard, the appreciation ability of some authors on the author forum is worrying.
Sun Quan never paid attention to the poisonous points mentioned by his colleagues.
Because if you write a book and want to avoid all the poisonous points summarized by those people, then there is no way to write a book.
Moreover, Sun Quan has never believed that the novel industry has so many poisonous points.
You can say that cuckolding the protagonist is poisonous, and he agrees with this.
It can also be said that the protagonist is always abused and is a poisonous character, which he agrees with.
But those people summed up hundreds of poisonous points, isn’t it a bit nonsense?
Therefore, if someone on the author forum says that a book is very poisonous, Sun Quan usually doesn't take it to heart.
But there is one thing he agrees with those on the forum.
Recommendations on film and television.
In the original time and space, he occasionally goes to the film and television section of the author forum to see which film and television dramas have been unanimously praised by everyone in recent times, and then chooses the one with the best reputation to watch.
The results usually satisfy him.
He thinks these people's ability to appreciate movies and TV dramas is OK.
In other words, his preferences for movies and TV series are consistent with many authors on the forum.
so……
When he logged into the author forum, the first thing he came to was the film and television section.
He thought about "The Last Wish", which has been online for two days, and whether anyone has mentioned it in the film and television section of the forum.
"As expected of someone who writes online novels, the author of the original work as the chief director can really grasp the essence of the original work best. The filming of "The Last Wish of the Dead" was great!"
When Sun Quan first came to this section, he saw such a post, which was ranked high above this section.
He smiled, did not click on this post, and continued to search for other related post titles.
"After watching the four updated episodes of "The Last Wish of the Dead", I think I understand why Xianyu chose to write such a subject in the first place..."
"I feel like the concept of Internet IP is really going to be popular. "Dead Man's Last Wish" is really fun to watch!"
"Highly recommend "Dead Man's Last Wish"!! I hope to start filming the second season as soon as possible. The number of episodes in the first season is too few!"
"I used to hope that domestic dramas could have fewer episodes, but now I hope that "Dead Man's Last Wish" can have dozens more episodes..."
"Guess who will be the next great director who works part-time as a director?"
“Is Mr. Sun’s directorial ability innate?”
…
From top to bottom, he scanned the titles of all the posts on the homepage of the film and television section. When Sun Quan saw the titles related to him above, he felt a little proud.
With this pride, he came to the Jianghu section of the Internet.
Then I saw some related post titles.
"Do you know why the first season of "Dead Man's Wish" was so short? Is it because of poor investment?"
"I think with the quality of "Dead Man's Last Wish", it can be broadcast on major TV stations..."
"Does anyone know when Xianyu Film and Television will go public? I want to buy some shares of this company. I'm optimistic about it!"
"Now I kind of understand why Xianyu wants to invest in himself as a director. An online drama with this style is really unfair!"
"I didn't spend any money when I watched "The Last Wish of the Dead", and I didn't spend any money when I watched this web series, but I just went to renew my subscription!"
The title of this post aroused Sun Quan's interest.
So he clicked on this post casually.
I saw this post said:
"Before today, I never spent money to read the works of great masters, because I felt that the great masters made so much money that they could not afford my subscription money, so I would rather give the money to ordinary authors, so I watched "The Undead"
When I read the original work "The Last Wish", I paid for it! And when I watched this online drama, I didn't need to spend any money. But after watching the four episodes that have been updated so far, I suddenly want to support Xianyu! I hope he can do it in the future
Let’s invest in more high-quality online dramas like this! So, I just went to buy a full subscription for his book, and I want to know if there is anyone here who is like me?”
Under this post, Sun Quan also saw many people's replies.
1st floor: "You can correct your mistakes and correct them. You are still a good boy!"
Floor 2: "I finally know why I haven't been able to become a god. It turns out it's because you have been subscribing to me!"
3rd floor: "Since ancient times, talents have been produced on the second floor!"
Floor 4: "So this is the reason why I can't become a god!"
Floor 5: "Xianyu is pretty good. Every book has innovations and is always making progress. Such a master is indeed worthy of support!"
Floor 6: “Then I’ll go and make up a full reservation for him too!”
7th Floor: "Take care! My assets have already exceeded 100 million, and I really don’t need your subscription money!"
…
Reading through the replies one by one, some were good and some were bad, such as the speech on the 7th floor above, but Sun Quan read it and just laughed.
I have no interest in arguing with anyone.
…
In the blink of an eye, another two days passed.
On Youku Video, "Dead Man's Last Wish" has been updated to the eighth episode.
Most of the first season of this show has been updated.
At this time, the number of viewers of this drama has exceeded 8 million.
Just like when Sun Quan first wrote the novel, the popularity of this drama grew the slowest at the beginning, and the popularity grew faster as it went on.
For example, the seventh and eighth episodes were updated this morning. When these two episodes were updated, the total number of viewers was only over 3.89 million.
But at about 12 o'clock that night, Sun Quan finished writing the outline of his new book and was about to go to bed. When he opened Youku Video to check the popularity of this drama, he saw that the number of viewers of this drama was 8.22 million.
many.
Such a rapid growth rate made him believe that when he woke up and watched it again, the total number of views would probably exceed 9 million.
Not only that, based on his many years of experience in the online literature industry, he also had a hunch that after the number of viewers of this drama exceeds 10 million, the popularity of this drama will definitely increase even more.
Because he believes that the film and television industry is similar to the online literature industry in many aspects.
For example: winner takes all.
In the online literature industry, the winner-takes-all phenomenon is obvious. In fact, is this not the case in the film and television industry?
In his opinion, these two industries are typical of starving to death and starving to death.
Movies and TV dramas that don't stand out will cause investors to lose money, but as long as they can stand out and stand out from the works of competitors in the same period, they can easily make money.
…
result……
The next morning, at around 9 o'clock, he came to the office of Xianyu Studio, turned on his computer, and checked the popularity of the show.
At this time, today's two episodes of "Dead Man's Last Wish" have not been updated.
But he was surprised to find that the number of viewers of this show... had exceeded 10 million, reaching more than 10.74 million.
What he didn't know was that every day recently, a large number of fellow authors and readers spontaneously promoted his drama on QQ, WeChat, and Weibo.
Not only these people, but also Qidian's official scarf, took the initiative to send a message yesterday evening to actively promote the drama "Dead Man's Last Wish".
A bit incredible?
It's actually quite normal.
In recent years, Internet article writers have generally had a hard time.
Most Internet article authors have wasted several years in this industry, but have never made any money. This is where they suffer.
There are also a small number of authors who make money, and even great writers. Although they make a lot of money, they also feel miserable because they have been often discriminated against in the past few years in this industry.
Not recognized.
Sometimes, when they introduce themselves to people around them as writing online articles, others wonder if what they write is an imperial letter?
When some great experts attended certain industry association meetings, they were shocked to hear the traditional writers sitting next to them criticizing online articles in public with a look of disgust on their faces. Is it any different from pointing at a monk and calling a bald man?
Therefore, in the past few days, seeing the popularity and reputation of the web drama adapted from the web text "The Last Wish of the Dead", many web writers have spontaneously helped to promote it.
How proud they are.
This is the legendary collective sense of honor.
By the same token, readers also spontaneously help publicize it out of a similar mentality.
As for Qidian, why do you also volunteer to help promote it?
Because Brother Qiang, CEO of the head office, has been hyping the concept of IP in the past few years! They have found a ready-made successful case!
