This Emperor is Only An Actor

In the entertainment circle, the phenomenon of following trends is very serious.

When a drama became popular, countless professionals immediately began to analyze the reasons for the explosion, and then summed up the law of the explosion to follow.

As long as it makes money, nothing else matters.

So when Lei dramas can make money, all the capital goes to make Lei dramas.

When traffic stars can make money, they quickly become the first choice of capital.

It doesn't matter if bad money drives out good money, as long as it's money.

But this situation can change.

If all successes are positive examples, followers will also learn from positive examples.

Under the current circumstances, the most successful example is "Chuan Ming", and the most successful stars are Yue Guan and Tang Yan, so those who want to follow suit must study the reasons why "Chuan Ming" and Yue Guan Tang Yan are so popular.

And the reasons are easy to figure out:

The script is good, the characters are good, respect the IQ of the audience, break away from the old routines of domestic dramas, and the acting skills are online...

Then choose and act according to this template.

This way of making money is definitely more difficult than before.

But looking at the current fame of Yueguan and Tang Yan, they earn a lot.

As long as you can make money, there is nothing to be afraid of.

Never underestimate the motivation money brings to people.

Of course, you can put it in a nicer way of saying professionalism.

Yueguan is also ambitious.

Regarding the five-star video, Yue Guan and Li Fuzhen have basically reached an agreement.

And "Mao Lie" is the first test product under the new business model of Five Star Video.

Miracle Company spent an extra 200,000 yuan to buy the first season of "Mao Lie".

"The first season is free for viewers to watch, and the first episode of the second season is also free. From the second episode onwards, there will be a fee. Each episode will be one yuan, and there will be a total of twenty-five episodes."

"Watch an online drama for 25 yuan, Mr. Yue, are you really sure you want to do this?"

At this time, Yueguan was at the headquarters of Five Star Video.

The person in charge of the five-star video operation department looked at Yueguan, hesitating to speak.

He very much hoped that the paid members of the five-star video would increase significantly, but he felt that Yue Guan was taking too big a step, and it was easy to get caught.

But Li Fuzhen personally took care of him and asked him to listen to Yueguan, so he could only talk to this extent.

Yue Guan was actually not sure either.

But he can take it easy: "If the audience doesn't like it, they will naturally not order the following content. If they like it, the episode of "Mao Lie" is more than an hour, and it is not expensive. I personally participated in the filming of this drama, and every episode It can be said that the episodes are all filmed according to movie standards, and they can be regarded as a series of short stories."

The persuasiveness, acting skills, and director level of "Mao Lie" lag behind those classic film and television dramas in all aspects, but the score can be so high. Apart from sympathy points, the biggest advantage is that the script is very well written.

And generally speaking, the more niche themes, the higher the payment rate.

"The piracy problem has been solved. With the quality of "Mao Lie" and my current popularity, it is not a big problem to attract 100,000 paying members."

The person in charge shook his head: "You can be said to be the hottest star at present. The audience has enough trust in you. You can at least bring in hundreds of thousands of paying members. The question is whether you can retain these audiences, and how can you retain them? With its current popularity, if it were broadcasted online for free, the popularity would definitely be skyrocketing."

"The popularity brought by free is worthless. The subject matter of "Mao Lie" is limited, and it is unlikely that there will be other copyright developments. The popularity that cannot make money is worthless."

Yue Guan is relatively calm. With his current popularity, it is impossible for "Mao Lie" to not even make back the 1 million cost.

As long as you can make money, it's a good start.

"Get ready to promote and publicize. I will advertise on Weibo. By the way, I will invite a few friends to promote it. You will also work hard here, and find all the stars you can find."

"Since you insist, then do as you say."

Li Fuzhen had already confessed that he couldn't be blamed if he didn't do well, so the person in charge didn't persuade him anymore.

"By the way, "Mao Lie" was changed to "Edge of the City". Don't make a mistake when promoting it."

The name "Mao Lie" is really unrefined.

There is no way to promote and create momentum on mainstream platforms.

Obviously, the content is clear and watery, so it is necessary to give such an ambiguous title.

According to Yue Guan's wishes, Five Star Video mobilized all available resources, and promoted "Edge of the City" to the greatest extent on both Five Star Video and Five Star Weibo.

Yue Guan also personally posted a Weibo:

"We have reached a cooperation with Five Star Video, and the second season of the new drama "Edge of the City" starring me will be broadcast on Five Star Video, adopting a new broadcast mode, hoping to try a new possibility for the future of the industry.

"Edge of the City" is a web drama with plot, suspense, reversal, and brainstorming. The first season can be watched for free on Five Star Video. If you like it, I hope you can subscribe to support the second season. If you don't like it, don't waste your money.

What I can assure you is that the quality of the second season of "Edge of the City" will not be worse than that of "Chuan Ming". In addition, the five-star video will share 50/50 with the investors of "Urban Fringe" for all subscription consumption of "Urban Fringe". If this attempt is successful, domestic dramas may usher in great changes in the future, and the future of the market will be directly in the hands of the audience. "

Not long after Yue Guan's Weibo was posted, Tang Yan reposted his Weibo, and attached his own attitude: "I testify that "Edge of the City" is very good-looking, but unfortunately I knew it too late, otherwise no money I play both."

Zhao Liying followed closely behind: "I stayed up all night and watched the first season of "Edge of the City", only to realize that the quality of the online drama is already so high. Originally, I was just planning to give Yue Guan a friendly push, but now I changed my mind and pushed it."

Zhu Yilong also went online soon to help Yueguan: "In the future, if there is a good drama like "Edge of the City", remember to find me. I have a hunch that the word-of-mouth of the second season of "Edge of the City" may explode. "Crossing Ming" .”

The four of them are basically the four hottest people in the Dragon Country entertainment circle at the moment, and the four of them are promoting a drama at the same time, so one can imagine how many people it will attract.

Although the five-star Weibo has not yet reached its peak, the four of them already have more than 60 million fans, which is still increasing every day.

In terms of value, with their current popularity, every Weibo used to advertise is worth hundreds of thousands or even more.

But neither Zhao Liying nor Zhu Yilong confiscated the money, let alone Tang Yan.

Five Star Weibo also invited many other celebrities to promote "City Edge", and even made a splash advertisement on the Weibo homepage.

It should be said that this has guaranteed that "Edge of the City" will not lose money.

However, Yue Guan went to see Li Ruotong just in case.

"Sister Ruotong, tell me that you don't like "Edge of the City"."

Li Ruotong: "..."

She wants to hit someone.

But she put up with it.

Taking a deep breath, Li Ruotong said sternly: "Yueguan, you must hit a wall this time. Domestic audiences are used to watching free TV dramas, and they don't have the habit of paying for subscriptions. You are taking too big a step."

Yue Guan was overjoyed and grabbed Li Ruotong's hand: "Sister Ruotong, you are too kind to me."

Li Ruotong endured and endured, but still did not hold back: "Get lost."

PS: There is a platform and income. In the future, the protagonist can organize his own game, film and broadcast one-stop, and shoot whatever he wants to shoot. This part of the commercial plot is for logical self-consistency in the future. It is not important, as long as everyone knows that there is such a thing. . In the next chapter, we will start to enter the stage of the fourth play of the main character. I would like to ask everyone for their opinions. Should Yang Guo and Zhang Wuji choose one or both in the TV series? This does not affect the direction of the plot, it is the difference between writing more and writing less
