"Mr. Chi, after the update of Fairy Sword II this week, our number of members has reached 98.34 million!"
"Before the Spring Festival, we should be able to exceed 100 million."
At this time, at Station G, the senior management of the film and television department reported to Chi Jiang the good news they had just received.
However, Chi Jiang just nodded indifferently, not looking very excited.
After all, since Fairy Sword 2 started airing, data in all aspects has been skyrocketing every day.
The entire December of last year can basically be said to be the month of Sword and Sword II.
Other film and television dramas have been postponed one after another, and various variety shows are trying to avoid being broadcast at the same time as Sword and Sword II.
While avoiding its sharp edges, it also makes Sword and Sword II a drama that most young people are following.
Under such circumstances, it is not surprising that Fairy Sword II frequently breaks various records.
The 24-hour premiere data broke the record, the number of broadcasts in a week reached a new peak, the fastest film and television drama exceeded 3 billion online broadcasts, etc.
Station G relies on two fairy swords to not only increase its daily user life rapidly.
Even the results in terms of new member users, which originally seemed very difficult to convert, are also very gratifying.
Compare the three major video websites: Penguin, Kiwi and Potato.
This is the first time that Station G has been so proud.
This is also the first time I have fought such a wealthy battle.
It completely pushed the three major video websites underground and caused friction, which was even more exaggerated than when Fairy Sword One was broadcast.
But even so, Chi Jiang still looked a little sad at this time.
The senior executive who came to report the data left the other party's office with a puzzled look on his face and didn't ask any more questions.
As a newcomer to the company who was promoted by Chi Jiang, he strictly remembers his workplace standards of being cautious in words and deeds.
However, the female assistant who had been following Chi Jiang could not help but ask:
"Mr. Chi, the statistics of Fairy Sword II are so good in all aspects, but why don't you feel so happy?"
When Chi Jiang heard the assistant's words, he didn't hide anything and said directly:
"The more popular Sword and Sword II becomes, the more worried I am actually."
"When the second episode of Fairy Sword is finished, what drama will our G station use to take over?"
What Chi Jiang looks at is not the immediate gains and losses.
The large-scale increase in the number of paying members at Station G this time is almost certainly due to the Second Immortal Sword.
The current data in various aspects appear to be higher. When the time comes for the finale of Fairy Sword II, the decline in data will become more obvious.
What new dramas should be used to allow Station G to retain these new paying members has always been a question that Chi Jiang and Station G have not been able to consider.
"Mr. Chi, didn't Vice President Tingyou mention it before about the new drama we are cooperating with Tongji Entertainment and the Suspense Theater? It should be finished soon."
The assistant reminded.
Chi Jiang nodded, but his expression still didn't change much.
He knows very well that although G Station and Tongji Entertainment are in a cooperative relationship, G Station is actually on the weaker side.
G station only provides copyright fees, which means it only has the right to co-produce, not to mention investors.
And Xu Ji made it clear that Tongji Entertainment’s G station cannot interfere in the creation of film and television dramas.
Therefore, Chi Jiang is not sure whether Tongji Entertainment's new drama can complete post-production after the finale of Sword and Sword 2 is broadcast.
"I'll call Xiaoman and ask."
Chi Jiang also didn’t want to interfere too much in the post-production of Xu Ji’s film and television series.
Not only for the reputation of Tongji Entertainment and Xu Ji, but also for Station G. The quality of the dramas produced by them is the most important.
If it doesn’t work, apply for some copyright budget and introduce a few low-cost web dramas to make the transition first.
Or try to see if the animation section, which was the mainstay of Station G, can do more publicity and try to attract the paying members attracted by Sword and Sword II.
......
Chi Jiang from Station G was thinking about what kind of drama should take over after the finale of Sword and Sword 2 is aired.
It can still be called a happy trouble.
But for the other three major websites, they are not in such a good mood to think about this.
This is what the current senior leaders of the three companies think about every day.
Why hasn’t Fairy Sword II finished broadcast yet?
Originally, the market in December had basically given up.
But at the beginning of the new year, Fairy Sword II not only did not show signs of decline, but instead felt more and more popular.
When young people nowadays socialize, if they don’t talk about the plot of Sword and Sword II, it seems as if they have no common topics.
Under such a situation, how could they dare to release these new dramas at this time?
"Can't wait any longer!"
""The Unparalleled Swordsman" is scheduled to be officially broadcast next Friday."
Penguin Video, President Xu Sheng said directly at the meeting.
This costume drama is a project within Penguin Video's plan. It is one of the self-produced dramas that requires a large investment. It was originally intended to be a hit drama at the beginning of this year.
However, the original broadcast time on New Year's Day has been postponed due to the popularity of Sword and Sword II. The broadcast time has not been officially determined yet.
At this time, some senior executives who originally suggested avoiding the edge of Xianjian Er did not raise their objections at this time.
First of all, looking at Xu Sheng’s attitude, their opinions on this matter are basically of little use.
Also, Penguin Video has given up on the market at the end of December because of Sword and Sword II.
If we continue to avoid war at the beginning of the year, it will not only be a blow to morale.
The key is that the share in the first quarter will really be taken away by the G station.
......
At the same time, there is not only one website that makes the choice of Penguin Video, but also Kiwi.
Although in December, Kiwi was the only website that dared to launch several new dramas that cost a lot of money during the broadcast of Sword and Sword II.
Although the final result was not as expected.
Several dramas came to grandma's house.
But Hu Lei insists on not believing in evil, no matter how popular Xian Sword II is.
Then it’s okay for me to have differentiated competition here?
Costume dramas will not be considered directly, and some dramas with other themes will be launched.
The other two major websites have no new dramas. In the market in the first quarter of the year, they can’t afford meat, so they can only eat some porridge, right?
If the decline in performance is too serious, the chairman and many shareholders will not be able to explain it.
The only one who is awake is Tudou Video.
Although there are some plans to broadcast new dramas online at the beginning of the new year.
However, some new dramas on my side that are expected to become hit dramas still have not been finalized.
It can only be said that I found some relatively ordinary dramas to test the waters.
.......
In Rongcheng, Xu Ji naturally didn’t know that Station G and the three major video websites had been so greatly affected by the broadcast of Fairy Sword II.
But even so, Xu Ji doesn't actually care too much.
Although Fairy Sword II looks very popular.
But he is sure that the three major websites definitely have some unbroadcast new dramas of good quality that are almost certain to become hits.
The reason why it is not released is because these websites are considering maximizing profits.
Even if it steals part of the audience from Fairy Sword Second Hand.
But in the final analysis, it is definitely not as big as the benefits brought by Yiqi Juechen during the broadcast time.
Forcing a head-on confrontation will not be beneficial to either party.
Staggering the broadcast time is the best choice.
"Director Xu, if we edit, we should be able to officially start tomorrow."
Pang Er and Xu Ji reviewed all the original footage together.
I have to say, because Pang Er basically filmed according to Xu Ji’s script.
Plus the storyboards inside are very complete.
Therefore, Xu Ji is quite satisfied with the overall shot.
Even surpassed the original "The Beginning"
The drama "The Silent Truth" has high requirements for actors' acting skills. Fortunately, it has the help of a group of official actors, and Ran Bai's performance in this drama is very good.
The process seemed to be very smooth and no errors occurred.
Next comes the post-editing and production work.
This time, the two dramas "Soldier Assault" and "The Silent Truth" have entered post-editing and production together.
Xu Ji naturally cannot take care of both ends at the same time.
So I simply let go and left the post-production work of "The Silent Truth" to Pang Er.
I am still only responsible for the final review process.
However, originally only one final review was required, but Xu Ji simply changed the review to a staged review in order to be able to adjust in time when errors were encountered.
There are a total of twelve episodes of the drama, and the footage of each episode will be reviewed.
In contrast to Pang Er, who is still busy after filming, the actors of Tongji Entertainment are on vacation this time.
Especially Ran Bai.
Although Sword and Sword II has been aired for nearly a month, he hasn't had time to watch the final film yet.
So I simply chose to pursue Fairy Sword Erlai.
As one of the few people who knew the direction of the plot, Ran Bai could only try his best not to reveal any spoilers when faced with netizens who commented on Weibo or sent private messages every day hoping that he would reveal the follow-up plot.
Unlike him, Ji Yiyang has been roped in to participate in some variety shows since he returned to Chengdu after filming "Soldier Assault".
Ji Yiyang is now Youman’s only remaining piece of wool.
And it can also be seen that Ji Yiyang's outgoing personality is indeed more popular in variety shows.
The other members of Tongji Entertainment seemed a little dull.
For example, if She Yue goes, it is estimated that after the first episode of the program, even if the program team gives the camera, she will not have much to say, let alone the so-called program effect.
However, while participating in a variety show, the talkative Ji Yiyang suddenly accidentally said the wrong thing.
When asked by the host, he actually said that when filming the last part of the plot, several of their main actors cried.
After the program aired, netizens immediately realized something was wrong.
Everyone started to be wary.
Did you cry?
What kind of plot would make Ji Yiyang, the leading actor, cry?
Isn’t it going to be the finale where we have to deal with the knife again?
Suddenly a wave of waves arose.
Although Ji Yiyang at that time quickly realized that he had said the wrong thing and changed the topic.
But the audience has already started to figure it out.
"I'm sorry, Sister Man."
After Ji Yiyang saw the show broadcast, because of his words, the tragic ending of Sword and Sword 2 was a hot topic, so he could only apologize quickly.
Youman was also a little helpless about this.
If it were some other dramas, Ji Yiyang's words would not be considered a big spoiler, and could even bring popularity to the drama.
But the popularity of Sword and Sword II is already very high.
It’s not really necessary to attract attention in this way.
On the contrary, it is easy to have a bad rhythm.
Now some people on the Internet have begun to say that if the ending is BE, they will boycott any future dramas directed by Xu Ji.
Youman could only sigh helplessly.
"Forget it, just get a vaccination."
"Anyway, when the finale is broadcast, I probably won't be able to escape."
During this period, as the broadcast of Sword and Sword II entered the second half of the plot, Youman also made preparations early.
Even if the studio is really blocked by people, we might as well discuss temporarily moving the office location.
......
In terms of film and television dramas, Sword and Sword II takes the lead.
During this period, variety shows in the entertainment industry are in a state of letting a hundred flowers bloom.
Various types of variety shows frequently appear in the industry, and their popularity is becoming more and more popular.
The kick-off match of "The Strongest Voice" that Sha Yetong participated in was also broadcast.
Not surprisingly, Sha Yetong once again appeared in everyone's sight with the song "Finger Moon on the Left Hand".
The terrifying high-pitched performance and the shock brought by the song can be said to have blocked the mouths of some netizens who wanted to raise objections.
Not long ago, after the awards ceremony for Moon Night Sonata, a small number of people discussed on the Internet whether Sha Yetong was really qualified to win the best singer award.
Sha Yetong's singing skills are not that good, but he relies on Xu Ji.
Such remarks have always existed.
Those netizens who say such things also have a feeling that everyone is drunk and I am alone.
Although many fans and passers-by came out to express support for Sha Yetong.
But the doubts have not disappeared.
Until the first episode of "The Strongest Voice" was broadcast.
Those voices suddenly became mute.
"Continue talking? Aren't those sunspots dancing very well before?"
"No singing skills? Who doesn't have it?"
"If I hadn't known that this gymnastics match had been recorded a long time ago, I would have thought that Xu Ji wrote this song for Tongtong just to slap these gangsters in the face."
......
In fact, such an episode did not attract much attention.
But it indirectly proves that Sha Yetong deserves the award.
At the same time, Li Fenghua continued to stay in Chengdu after participating in the Moon Night Sonata.
After the filming of "Soldier Assault" was completed, not long after Xu Ji returned to Chengdu, Xu Ji received a call from Mo Jianwen.
The recording of the next episode of "I Am a Songwriter" is about to begin.
At the same time, Xu Ji also told the other party about Li Fenghua as a co-singer.
Mo Jianwen was slightly surprised when he heard Li Fenghua's name.
He was still guessing what kind of singer the other party would invite to collaborate.
Compared with the other three great songwriters and songwriters, Xu Ji, who debuted in such a short time, is quite famous in the entertainment industry, but his connections are still far behind.
It’s not difficult to find singers to work with.
But it may be a little worse in terms of coffee position.
It’s an unexpected surprise that Li Fenghua, the most popular singer in the world, will participate in the show.
......
"By the way, you've been staying in Chengdu for such a long time, don't you have any other announcements?"
"It doesn't have anything to do with the company, right?"
On the plane going to Hangzhou to participate in the recording of the program, Xu Ji suddenly remembered something, and then asked Li Fenghua who was sitting next to him.
Li Fenghua's expression froze slightly when he heard Xu Ji suddenly asked him a question.
Then he replied in a nonchalant manner: "It doesn't matter."
"Those announcements and the like don't matter."
Li Fenghua didn’t lie.
Seeing this, Xu Ji thought it was because Li Fenghua had great power in the company.
But he didn't expect that Li Fenghua at this time had actually been ready to terminate the contract and join him.
Of course, it doesn’t matter what the original company’s announcements were.
