Chapter 283: The old nine gates start broadcasting, breaking records
On June 8th, Laojiumen was launched. In the past few days, iQi Video has stepped up its efforts to promote it. Not only the audience is looking forward to this web series, but many people in the industry also want to watch it.
Of course, what they want to see is Fang Jing making a fool of himself.
How can it be so easy to run your own company and produce your own drama? There are not just one or two stars who have crossed over into other industries these days.
Some are directors, some are hosts, and some are giving concerts. In the end, even their own mothers don’t know who they are, and they have invested all their savings over the past few decades, and it’s all in vain.
At 8 o'clock in the evening, iQi Video released the first four episodes. Except for the first and second episodes, which are free, others require VIP to watch.
The scene begins with a sky full of stars at night, a cool breeze blowing, a sand city, bungalows built during the Republic of China, and a few soldiers patrolling.
"Gu!!"
A train whistle broke the tranquility of the night.
The staff patrolling the station held up a light to inspect the old train. The front of the train was dim and no one was getting off. The camera zoomed in and a terrifying dead face appeared.
The entire carriage was filled with spider webs and dead people with their backs turned upside down, and no one survived.
In the university dormitory, Tang Junfeng felt nervous as he looked at the dark pictures and the terrifying background music.
He has been reading Tomb Raider Notes since he was in junior high school. He is still a fan of Third Uncle from the Southern School and usually likes to read suspense genres.
I went to watch last year's Tomb Raiders when it aired, but I didn't know that I didn't see any suspenseful and terrifying plot.
After a few episodes, it looks like a romance movie, which is completely different from the original work and has been changed beyond recognition.
I have learned my lesson. This time, if you don’t say anything, please fill up your VIP account first. Watch two episodes before talking. If it doesn’t look good, just ignore it.
In the first episode, there is a dead body in the carriage, the nine-door admiral Zhang Qishan appears, and the nine-door Qi Tiezui appears. In the second episode, an ancient coffin is discovered, and a Zhang family soldier cuts off his hand. The series is closely linked.
The finger ring of the Northern and Southern Dynasties was found in the coffin. Zhang Qishan was going to ask Er Erhong from the top three of the nine gates to help identify it. The audience was watching it wonderfully, but behind them was the damn VIP.
Many people felt itchy in their hearts, as if they didn't want to pay to watch it, so they clicked on the preview of the next episode. Unexpectedly, Fang Jing actually appeared on the stage, still wearing a costume and singing.
"Is this Fang Jing's role?"
Out of curiosity, some viewers gritted their teeth and stamped their feet to become members."
"It turns out that the flowers are blooming everywhere"
"Like this, everything ends up being ruined and ruined."
“What a wonderful time, but beautiful scenery”
"Whose home is the pleasure?"
On the stage, Fang Jing raised her orchid finger, lowered her head and sang charmingly, sometimes waving her skirt and sometimes nodding.
Dreams in the Garden! Some students from the Chinese Department recognized the lines as soon as they saw it. This Kunqu opera is very familiar to them.
In class, the professor deliberately let it go and led everyone to appreciate it together. Unexpectedly, Fang Jing could actually sing, but I didn’t know if it was dubbing later.
Third and fourth, one episode lasts forty minutes, and by the time I finished watching it, it was almost ten o'clock or eleven o'clock.
"Everyone, please stop licking the screen. I would like to remind you to pay attention to the progress bar."
"Fuck! The progress bar is holding up, I am a distinguished VIP!!"
"I originally came here for my third uncle and Fang Jing, but I didn't expect that Cheng Weiting would become my fans. This outfit is so handsome!"
"This Qi Tiezui is also very expressive and has good acting skills. Who knows his name?"
"The adjutant is too young! He's a bit handsome!"
"It looks good. The picture quality and shooting are so good that people believe it is a movie."
…
The number of views was 20 million, and the following two episodes were watched by 9.6 million VIPs, with a rating of 8.8. The next day Fang Jing got the broadcast data of Laojiumen.
The number of plays was 50 million on the second day, 80 million on the third day, over 100 million on the fourth day, and 200 million views in the first week, breaking the previous record of Tomb Raider Notes.
Fang Jing did not fail, but succeeded. Many people were furious.
Magic City, Fang Jing Studio.
"We made a profit, we made a profit!" Xu Shi looked at the latest data, his hands trembling with excitement.
Hundreds of days and nights were spent filming, he visited several departments, personally joined in the adaptation, negotiated with advertisers, solicited money, begged grandfather and grandma everywhere, and finally saw the rewards.
Many scenes could not pass the review. He blocked people's doorsteps to explain and discussed with the director. God knows how much effort he put into this film.
"Calm down, calm down!" Fang Jing poured him a cup of coffee, but he couldn't calm down for a long time.
If this vote is successful, he will probably become a billionaire, and his goal will be accomplished.
"Dudududu!!"
Picking up the calculator on the table, Xu Shi kept pressing it with red eyes. After more than ten seconds, he suddenly raised his head and said in a trembling voice: "If we follow this trend, we will earn at least 300 million."
"What about Huang Bo's 20 million share and our cost?" Fang Jing asked.
"There are two hundred million left!" After doing the math, Xu Shi felt heartbroken.
"Leave aside my personal investment and profit sharing!"
"More than 100 million, 20 to 30 million!" Xu Shi was about to cry.
"Is there more now?"
"Multiple farts!"
Putting down the calculator, Xu Shi lay down on his chair. The company's net profit was more than 100 million, which sounded like a lot, but during this period he had only handled large projects worth tens of millions, and now he suddenly felt that more than 100 million was not a lot.
"That's not how the accounts are calculated!" Fang Jing said seriously: "More than one hundred million is a lot. Adding the costs, the company's account is almost two hundred million."
"Based on your shares in the company, you are now worth tens of millions, and it only took you half a year."
"It's equivalent to your monthly income of more than 10 million, and three to four hundred thousand a day. Now you can earn someone else's monthly salary just by drinking a cup of coffee."
"Really?" Xu Shi sat upright, "I heard that Bill Gates wouldn't pick up a hundred dollars on the ground because he could make three to four hundred dollars in just a few seconds when he bent over. It's not cost-effective."
"So from now on I won't have to pick up dozens of dollars if they fall on the ground?"
"Is it popular to buy Malatang for tens of dollars? Why throw him away?" Fang Jing rolled his eyes, "The Swordsman thing can be put on the agenda. I will take a few days to rest and finish the copywriting. I will contact the director and prepare to screen the actors.
"
"How much is the budget investment? Do you want me to attract investors?"
"I don't know!" Fang Jing shook his head, "The minimum budget is 100 million. It depends on how the director shoots it. Don't be too busy looking for investors. Let's wait until the effects of Laojiu Men are achieved."
"I don't have any money, brother. The income here can't be paid in a day or two. How can I start the phone if I don't find a few bad guys to pay for it first."
"It's okay. I'll keep the difference for now, and then you can pay it back to me when the money comes in. If it's not too much, 18 million is still no problem."
"Fuck you, local tycoon!"
…
"Brother Ming, I'll treat you later, you decide the place!" Zhang Mingen of Nanjing Entertainment held up the advertising contract in his hand and laughed at Ying Haoming.
"Okay, I'll take advantage of you as a wealthy person today!"
"Didn't you receive the advertisement? You shouldn't?"
"Got it! There are still two."
"Then why didn't you say anything?"
"You didn't ask! Besides, if I told you, would you still treat me?"
The broadcast of Lao Jiumen is not only popular with Cheng Weiting and Fang Jing, supporting actors Ying Haoming and Zhang Mingen have also received many commercial performances and advertisements.
Not only that, Ying Haoming also received a new script, but after Xiao Wenjing said that the company was interested in making a new drama, he pushed it because he was worried that it would not be able to catch up.
