"Brother Tang, the news on the Internet is not your handiwork again, is it?"
Seeing the changing situation on the Internet, Gu Yongjiang was a little surprised, and lamented that Tang Ze had so many supporters, and a song written across different industries could reach the top of the list.
After getting familiar with working with Tang Ze, he naturally called himself brother and called Tang Ze brother.
Tang Ze shook his head:
"I'm not that capable of influencing the opinions of musicians. "The Lonely Patient" was probably accidentally hurt by others. However, it was indeed my intention to guide the big names in Ren Aite, but it was a pity that it had no effect."
It's a pity for Gu Yongjiang. If music giants like Li Zongsheng and Luo Dayou can comment on the show, it will definitely create higher popularity.
Even if Zhou Jielun is willing to give up, it goes without saying that "This Man Comes from Earth" will definitely top the movie hot search list.
Although Zhou Jielun is not a professional director, his "The Secret That Cannot Be Tellable" briefly topped the hot search list.
Moreover, the film has a good reputation. So far, 70,000 people have rated it 8.3 points on Douban, which is definitely a high score for a domestic film.
Because of this, Zhou Jielun is also regarded as a new talented director.
At that time, there were some media outlets who made wild claims that directors such as Feng Xiaogang and Zhang Yimou could retire because Zhou Jielun would take their place!
In fact, Gu Yong was surprised that a song could achieve such results, and he was even glad that he had brought Tang Ze into the team.
Even if talent is not considered, this marketing method is urgently needed by Youku.
When "The Lonely Patient" was launched, who would have thought that one audio clip could create nearly 4 million hits?
Counting other pirated websites, the total number of clicks on "The Lonely Patient" has exceeded 10 million.
It completely stole the spotlight from some music websites!
These are the chain reactions brought about by Tang Ze's series of marketing.
Now other video websites have begun to imitate and post popular songs that lack MVs on video websites.
However, there are only a few clicks, only a few hundred or a few thousand. What is missing is a series of marketing operations behind it.
Otherwise, major websites are not lacking in MVs, but it would be great to have hundreds of thousands of clicks.
After all, if you can spend very little traffic on a music website to listen to music, who would spend a lot of traffic on a video website to listen to the next video?
"What do you think about the movie being rescheduled?"
Gu Yongjiang invited Tang Ze here today, mainly to discuss the release of the movie.
He wanted to change the date, but he couldn't let it get into the spotlight, otherwise he wouldn't be happy no matter what he thought.
Tang Ze firmly refused: "No, if we change the schedule, whether it is earlier or later, it will be considered guilty, and it will be publicized that it is because of the poor quality of the movie that we dare not challenge the joke."
"Passengers who see this kind of news will subconsciously think that spoof movies are more interesting. The science fiction movies made in two weeks are terrible."
"But..."
Tang Ze frowned and immediately interrupted Gu Yongjiang: "I know what you want to say, Mr. Gu. You must think that I have loyal supporters on the Internet and don't need to care about silly jokes at all, right?"
Gu Yongjiang nodded. He felt that "The Lonely Patient" could get such a high number of hits because, in addition to marketing, they were also loyal fans of Tang Ze.
"Mr. Gu..." Tang Ze's voice was very heavy, and he seemed to be serious in his words: "You must not be fooled by my hot searches on the Internet."
"Those who frequently make hot searches may not necessarily receive the most attention. Most people online just want to watch the excitement and join in the comments if they find it interesting."
"But if you observe carefully, you will find that compared to the 40,000 followers I posted half a month ago, there are still more than 40,000 followers now, and it has not exceeded 50,000. What does this mean?"
Gu Yongjiang thought for a moment and said nothing.
"It means that I may have aroused curiosity from others, but they lacked substantial attention to me."
"So what if I release a song? My label to them is always the director. So no one will pay attention to me because of a song."
"Unless I can continue to release songs and prove that I am a professional singer, they will label me as a singer again and pay attention to me because of my songs."
"Otherwise..." Tang Ze looked at Gu Yongjiang and said bluntly: "I think everyone including you, Mr. Gu, thinks that my songwriting is just for fun, right?"
Gu Yongjiang smiled and did not deny it.
"Netizens like these are only curious about me in the recent period. Once the hot searches stop and they have important things of their own, they will forget about me in the blink of an eye."
Tang Ze sighed: "At any time, people must be self-aware and must not be fooled by the superficial situation."
"Especially for artistic creators who need to make a public appearance, hot spots are temporary, and what they can rely on is, after all, their works!"
Gu Yongjiang nodded solemnly, barely convinced.
Of course, it's more just that Tang Ze vetoed it, and it's not easy for him to sing the opposite tune.
After all, this is Karasawa's own movie, and he has the right to decide what to do.
But like the various operations and management-related matters within Youku, Gu Yongjiang never let Tang Ze intervene.
Even though Tangze may be the second largest shareholder of Youku in the future.
And because of differences over the movie, Gu Yongjiang doesn’t know yet whether he should continue to keep Tang Ze for discussion.
Then he thought of something and changed the subject:
"By the way, Brother Tang, you didn't pay much attention to it, but Yu Zheng spoke again, thinking that you don't talk about movies and only release songs, just to divert other people's attention from movies by hyping music."
Tang Ze hummed, not paying attention, and just regarded him as one of those unscrupulous media.
Gu Yongjiang said again: "The reason why I tell you about him is because he is different from those entertainment reporters. He is a famous screenwriter, and he is considered a person in your film and television industry."
"As far as I know, he has recently been promoted from screenwriter to producer of "The Last Princess", which requires election."
"I guess he probably wants to ride on your popularity to increase his reputation and thereby increase his chances of being selected. If you don't recognize him when you see him in the film and television industry in the future, wouldn't it be..."
Gu Yongjiang didn't explain it clearly, but he thought Tang Ze should be able to understand that the film and television industry needs to be careful about his peers, and he will be shot in the face if he is not careful.
Competing for roles, investments, and actors is nothing but a trivial matter. You are just afraid that your work will be talked about by others when it is first released.
Then a very small problem is regarded as a typical example, and the work may be blocked from even being released.
For example, "This Man Comes from Earth" involves religion, which would actually be very troublesome if it were a theatrical movie.
This time Tang Ze was more serious.
I had never heard of Yu Zheng in my previous life, or I had heard of it but had no impression of it. In addition, Tang Ze always thought that Yu Zheng was an entertainment editor, so he didn't take it seriously.
But Gu Yongjiang said that he was a screenwriter, which reminded him of the "Yu Zheng plagiarism case" in the future.
But he doesn't take it too seriously. First, he is too weak now and can't step on others even if he wants to.
Second, Yu Zheng is indeed just a small person, and he will be stepped on if he has the opportunity in the future.
He agreed:
"I remember!"
"Then, let's focus on the movie release tomorrow, which is September 1st. Well... we should also pay attention to the spoof video released tonight."
The result will depend on the weekend tomorrow and the next two days.
This movie is directly related to his future road plan, and all aspects must be considered.
Especially piracy, although he cannot ban it, he will sue some small websites even if he pays some money to make netizens realize that piracy is illegal.
