Although Chen Feng does not intend to make money from the "Oldboy" micro-movie, since it can be profitable and it will not affect Li Dazhi's publicity campaign, he has no reason to disagree.
Those who can do more work. Since it was Susie who raised this matter, she should be responsible for it.
Susie's execution rate was very high, and she sent the invitation letter and clips of "Oldboy" to the external liaison mailboxes of the five major domestic video websites on the same day.
This invitation letter is of course inviting representatives from the five major video websites to come to Summit Entertainment to watch the "Oldboy" short film. Taking advantage of the situation, an internal and private bidding meeting will be held.
"Oldboy" is the work of Chen Feng, a billionaire director. Because Chen Feng is currently the most popular director in the country, the five major video websites will send representatives.
Sure enough, in just one day, the five major video websites sent their respective heavyweight representatives to gather in the multi-functional conference hall of Summit Entertainment Company.
Although the five major video websites are all competing with each other, there is an invisible tacit understanding between them. At least they have a tacit understanding when they send representatives to Summit this time. They all sent the vice presidents of their respective companies. From this we can also see
Show how much they attach importance to this "Oldboy".
Chen Feng did not come to participate in this internal bidding meeting, leaving it entirely to Su Qian and Jia Yong to receive and host it.
After the five company representatives watched "Oldboy", there was a brief silence. Everyone was still immersed in the atmosphere of Oldboy's short film and song. But soon one person broke the silence.
"Our company is willing to pay 50 million to buy it out."
As soon as he opened his mouth, the other four representatives also woke up and started to increase their prices.
The last representative directly raised the price to 90 million. Although this price of close to 100 million is still expected, it is still a bit surprising that it can actually be achieved.
In Susie's estimation, if this short film could sell for 80 million, it would be considered a sky-high price. However, in just two or three minutes, the price soared to 90 million. This was really an unexpected surprise.
But soon the price was broken again, but this time it was not all cash, but a cash plus advertising share model. And the cash was still 60 million, and the advertising share was 20%. As long as the total playback volume reaches 100 million, Peak estimates
Advertising revenue alone is 30 million.
It shouldn't be difficult for the micro-movie "Oldboy" to reach 100 million views. The only problem is sooner or later. Even reaching 200 million or 300 million views is not a problem. And it is not expected to exceed three at most.
Four months.
Based on this calculation, this model is the most profitable for Summit Entertainment.
However, Susie rejected this plan after only a short thought. She only accepted the cash bidding method. The reason is very simple. This method of dividing the playback volume into advertisements has too much room for operation on the video website, and it also involves a
Cycle issues. There are a lot of things that need to be debated here, and there is really no need for Summit Entertainment to get involved in the muddy waters.
After Susie rejected the split proposal, the money bidding continued. In the end, Yinghuo Video, the smallest of the five major video websites, directly raised the price to 120 million.
Such a price can only make the other four video websites have no choice but to retreat. This price is too high. Originally, before they came here, they discussed with the company's senior management that the upper limit of the bidding is no more than 100 million. Beyond this price, the risk is uncontrollable.
.
Therefore, after the final price exceeded 100 million, only Hongshan Video, which is currently the largest and most powerful, and Yinghuo Video, which has been established for the shortest time and is the smallest, are left.
Hongshan Video has just carried out its third round of financing. It is not short of money and is the most wealthy. However, the vice president they sent only raised the price to 110 million, which is already the maximum authority of an individual.
But the vice president of Firefly Video increased the price for the last time by 10 million, and the highest price became 120 million. This price is really sky-high. Even though the vice president of Firefly Video called out the price,
, there was a ferocious look on his face. Obviously, this price made him feel very sad, and at the same time, he was taking a certain risk in quoting this price. However, he is not only the vice president of Yinghuo Video, but also a major shareholder, and
The company's largest shareholder, the boss, is also a brother.
In the end, Yinghuo Video website bought the short film "Oldboy" for a price of 120 million.
When Chen Feng got the news from Su Qian, he was also shocked. He really didn't expect that the short film he shot casually would be so popular.
He originally thought that his micro-movie could sell 50 to 60 million yuan, which was a huge success, but he obviously underestimated his current brand value. He also underestimated the lethality of the micro-movie "Oldboy" in this era.
and commercial value.
"Then let's take this price. Make a formal agreement with the other party. As for the money, I hope they can call it as soon as possible."
"Don't worry. I have already made an agreement with the other party's representative. The other party must pay the 120 million copyright buyout fee within three months."
"Three months is no problem."
Chen Feng was still reasonable. After all, it was impossible for the other party to call their company such a large sum of money in one go.
On the same day, Summit Entertainment signed a copyright buyout contract for the "Oldboy" micro-movie with Firefly Video Technology.
This news was immediately announced on the official WeChat accounts of both parties.
The official WeChat account of Yinghuo Video doesn’t get much attention, and it won’t generate any waves if it was posted. But the official WeChat account of Summit Entertainment Company is different.
Today's Summit Entertainment is the most well-known entertainment company in the country. Even the top entertainment companies in the country may not be as well-known as Summit Entertainment. The reason is simple. Usually, those entertainment companies are relatively low-key.
Do not actively promote your company.
As for Summit Entertainment, because the founder of the company is Chen Feng, a big star and director, this alone gives Summit Entertainment a high reputation among the public. Anyone who pays a little attention to Chen Feng will know that his company is
Summit Entertainment.
Since then, with the emergence of talents in Summit Entertainment, the company has become famous because of the actress Li Manyu, the singer Chang Lingyu, and the little actress Li Yixue who joined the company one after another.
Therefore, as soon as the official Weibo account of Summit Entertainment announced this news, it immediately attracted the attention and curiosity of countless netizens.
Chen Feng previously made a short film "Goodbye Youth" to refute rumors, which can be watched for free on the Internet. This short film received widespread praise at the time and is still talked about by many people today.
Now Chen Feng has released another micro-movie, and it is also a micro-movie with the same name as the song "Old Boy". This has naturally aroused the curiosity and interest of many netizens.
The song "Old Boy" has become popular all over the country in just a few days, especially on the Internet. Countless netizens are talking about and forwarding this song.
Now that the movie of the same name of "Oldboy" is about to be released, it will naturally interest everyone who has heard this song.
Therefore, in a short period of time, the popularity of Oldboy has risen again. "Oldboy" has suddenly entered the top ten in Weibo's hot search list. And as time goes by, the popularity of "Oldboy's micro-movie of the same name" has become even more popular.
It skyrocketed. By evening, this topic was already the most popular on the Internet. This is undoubtedly the result of the attribute bonus of the great director Chen Feng and the song "Oldboy".
After Yinghuo Video got the "Oldboy" micro-movie, it immediately put up a banner recommendation on the homepage of the website and launched a three-minute trailer to warm up.
A large number of netizens flocked to this video website to call their friends. For a time, the traffic of this youngest video website increased significantly.
The next day, they posted on their homepage a trailer for the "Oldboy" movie of the same name, which will be released online only two days later, which attracted the attention of many netizens.
At this time, Chen Feng also followed the official account of Firefly Video on his Weibo, and also carried out corresponding publicity and previews.
For a time, Yinghuo Video's traffic and registered users skyrocketed. Traffic increased by nearly one million, and registered users also increased by more than 200,000. Don't underestimate this number, especially registered users.
It is the first time that the Firefly Video website has been able to add so many registered users in just two days. Previously, they spent money to recruit people, but they never achieved such good results in two days.
Two days later, the micro-movie of the same name as "Old Boy" was officially released exclusively on the Yinghuo Video website. Because only registered users can watch it, many netizens have signed up for Yinghuo Video accounts.
In just one day, traffic surged by more than five million. Registered users also increased by more than five million. This number is quite terrifying, especially for a video website whose main profit method is advertising. Each registered user
Users represent wealth.
In one day, the playback volume of "Oldboy" exceeded 20 million, and this number is constantly refreshing and increasing.
By the next day, the number of views of the micro-movie "Oldboy" had reached more than 50 million. At the same time, the number of registered users of Yinghuo Video was also increasing.
This situation made everyone at the top of Yinghuo Video burst into laughter.
The vice president, who had been under tremendous pressure before, breathed a sigh of relief after the "Oldboy" micro-movie was officially launched. Instead, it received unanimous praise from everyone in the company. So much so that he even thought that he had spent 120 million.
It was really wise to buy "Oldboy".
When the other four major video websites saw such a lively scene on Firefly Video, of course they all regretted it.
What their video website strives for is the number of views, and to strive for more views, of course, they must retain more users and produce more content that interests users.
And Chen Feng's "Oldboy" is high-quality content that can't be better, and it has a huge appeal to the user groups on the Internet.
As a result, in the past two days, the user groups that originally belonged to their four major video websites have turned to Firefly Video. Many people have been watching the movie "Oldboy".
On Wandou.com, the short film "Oldboy" received more than 10,000 evaluation points in just one day, with the final score being 9.8.
It is the first micro-movie in Datang that has received such high reviews from so many people.
"From "Goodbye Youth" to "Oldboy," Chen Feng has surprised me time and time again. His movies have never let us down. Chen Feng is a great director that I have to admire."
"I heard the song before and burst into tears. Now when I saw this short film of the same name, I, a grown man, cried so hard that I almost died. Chen Feng, you owe me a dozen tissues."
"Dreams will never stop. Age will never be an obstacle to your dreams. As long as you have a dream, even if you are old, you can still give it a try and leave no regrets to yourself."
"I always thought I was someone who wouldn't cry, but when I saw two old boys imitating and singing MJ's songs, I still burst into tears. Forever MJ, the eternal music dream."
…
The reviews on Wandou.com are all positive. Although there are a few reviews that say this micro-movie borrows from MJ's popularity and influence, it cannot be denied that this is indeed a very good-quality micro-movie.
In this time and space, MJ's influence in the Tang Dynasty was deeper and greater than in the original time and space. Therefore, when MJ passed away unfortunately, the Tang government in this time and space publicly expressed condolences to him, and the people were even more
Various commemorative activities were held for him spontaneously across the country.
Even though it has been ten years since MJ passed away, MJ still has a huge influence in Datang and in the hearts of the people. It can even be said that if Datang is to choose the most popular male singer, then
In the end, the one who received the most votes was definitely MJ. It can even be said to be the "most popular singer".
The reason for this, in addition to MJ's own greatness, is mainly historical and political reasons. In this time and space of the Tang Dynasty, MJ often came to hold public events, interacted with countless fans, and held dozens of concerts. In addition,
,MJ also carried out many charity activities in Datang.
Therefore, MJ is widely loved and missed by people in the Tang Dynasty.
Therefore, now that the short film "Oldboy" has been released, MJ's music runs through the entire film, and the nostalgic emotions projected are stronger than in the original time and space, and the audience is much larger.
"Oldboy", a movie that sells feelings and dreams, instantly hit countless old boys who missed their youth in real life.
As a result, this micro-movie swept the entire Internet at once. And in just a few days, it affected real life from the Internet. Countless products began to operate like the old boy's "selling feelings".
The trademark Oldboy has been registered by many companies. Everything from the wig on the head to the socks on the feet has been registered.
Together with Li Dazhi, the "Wang Xiaoshuai" has finally become popular, and he is still very popular. Some companies have already offered him a sky-high price of one million for a commercial performance. As long as he goes over to sing "Old Boy".
If Chen Feng went with him, the other party would even offer him a sky-high price of three million.
