This is how the semifinals ended.
Wang Xuan rested in the hotel for one night and returned to the Magic City the next day. The "King of Masked Singer" finals will not be held until the middle of next month. There is a month in between, which means that "The King of Masked Singer" has come to an end for the time being.
But there are still many things waiting for Wang Xuan to do. For example, "Shaolin Temple" casting, such as helping its singers record new songs to hit the new song list next month.
Of course, the casting of "Shaolin Temple" can also be postponed. Because the film only submitted the materials to the relevant departments for filing three days ago, we don’t know when it will be approved.
It is worth mentioning that the online copyright of "Born Together" has been sold, exclusively to Tencent Video at a price of 00,000/episode.
Considering that "Born Together" has already been broadcast on Shangxing TV for two rounds, this price is definitely high. Of course, if you take into account the exclusive license, this price is reasonable.
In this world, online video websites are in full bloom. They are in an era of wild growth. Tomato, watermelon, potato, kiwi, Tencent, Leku, Qiandu... There are at least two large and small video websites in total. Among them, Tomato, Potato , Kiwi, these three major video websites are the most powerful, with many users.
Just like another time and space, although Tencent Video is behind two major chat tools, WeChat, due to its late start and late layout, the current Tencent Video is like a child facing an adult in front of tomato, potato, and kiwi fruit videos. Same, too weak, both in terms of users and content coverage, it is far inferior to the three major websites.
The reason why Tencent Video spent a huge sum of money to purchase the exclusive online broadcast rights of the TV series "Born Together" is that it hopes that this TV series can attract traffic to Tencent Video and bring a wave of users.
The reason why Tianhai sold the video of "Staying Together" to Tencent was because of Wang Xuan's instruction.
Indeed, in terms of price, Tencent Video’s price is definitely the highest, but considering user coverage, Tencent Video is not the best choice.
To put it simply, Tudou Video also offered 550,000 yuan/episode to purchase the exclusive online video broadcast rights of "Welcome to the Same Window". Although the price is 100,000 yuan/episode lower, the number of users is indeed several times that of Tencent Video. If sold to Tudou Video, Tianhai would lose over five million in apparent profits. However, taking into account hidden benefits such as fame, Tianhai would definitely earn much more.
But Wang Xuan still sold "Staying Together" to Tencent Video. This is not because Wang Xuan has no vision, on the contrary, his vision is too far-sighted.
Although tomatoes, potatoes, and kiwis are now very powerful in the online video industry, their development potential has actually come to an end because they lack traffic channels.
But Tencent Video is different. Tencent is one of the three giant companies in the domestic Internet. It has two major chat killers, P and WeChat, and its traffic channels are terrible. Based on this, Tencent Video, as a subsidiary of Tencent Company, is currently weak, but its potential is unlimited.
The reason why Tencent Video is weak is also very simple. Tencent has not yet turned its attention to the video field. To put it bluntly, Tencent does not pay enough attention to the video field now.
Once Tencent turns its attention to the video field, as long as it uses the two major chat killers WeChat and WeChat to help attract traffic to Tencent Video, Tencent Video will not be said to be invincible, but it will also be the leader. The user coverage is by no means comparable to that of tomato, potato, kiwi and other video websites.
This is the reason why Wang Xuan sold "Together" to Tencent Video. He is optimistic about the future of Tenxin Video. At present, Tenxin Video is still weak, and building a good relationship with it will definitely help Tianhai a lot in the future.
This is the saying that offering help in times of need is always more memorable than adding icing on a plate. If it weren't for Tencent Video, it would be impossible to accept investment. Wang Xuan even wanted to invest in Tencent Video.
Of course, the reason why Wang Xuan chose Tencent Video is because most other video websites have investments from giant companies such as Huayi.
For example, the major shareholder behind Tomato Video is Star Media, the major shareholder behind Tudou Video is Great Wall Entertainment, the major shareholder behind Kiwi Video is Huayi, and the major shareholder behind Xigua Video is Jinhui Entertainment.
In addition to Qiandu Video and Tencent Video, in fact, most video websites also have the shadow of several giant companies, some are major shareholders, and some hold a small share.
Have you seen that in the area of online video, a few giants and quasi-giant companies have not only formed a monopoly, but they also occupy most of the say. Even in theater chains, a few major giants and quasi-giant companies also occupy most of the say.
This is the horror of giant companies. The reason why giant companies are giant companies is because they have a lot of resources in their hands and can control other small and medium-sized entertainment companies.
If Wang Xuan makes "Shaolin Temple" and several major companies intend to obstruct it, the film schedule will still be a problem.
But Wang Xuan is not too worried.
The three giant companies are not omnipotent and cannot block Tianhai's road. At least the Starlight Cinemas, a subsidiary of the Starlight Group, cannot be influenced by a few giant companies. And Wang Xuan has some friendship with Xingguang Group.
There is no problem for "Shaolin Temple" to be released at Star Cinema.
Wang Xuan knew the potential of the TV series "Staying Together". To put it bluntly, this is definitely a TV series that can be watched second or third time. He did not want to compete with the enemy, so Wang Xuan chose Tencent Video.
Of course, Wang Xuan can also choose Qiandu Video. Although Qiandu Group is also one of the three giants of the Internet, Qiandu Group is too stupid. It is unwilling to invest and concentrate on creating content. If nothing happens, Qiandu Video will not be able to develop.
Companies such as Huayi sneered at Tianhai's refusal of Tomato, Potato, and Kiwi videos, and instead sold "Born Together" to the smaller Tencent Video.
To be honest, when the people in charge of Tomato, Potato, and Kiwi Video made the decision to introduce the TV series "Born Together", they didn't stop it because if you don't make money, you won't make it in vain.
Capital will not be in conflict with interests.
They didn't care anymore, but Tianhai didn't know what was good and what was good, and chose Tenxin Video.
What does Tencent Video have? The number of users is only 50 million, and the number of daily active users is only a few million. A video website of this size is not even worthy of carrying shoes for tomatoes, potatoes, and kiwi fruit videos.
Tian Hai undoubtedly made a stupid choice. It was probably because of the popularity of "Born Together" on Star TV that Tian Hai drifted. Or maybe they were dazzled by the price offered by Tencent Video.
And Tencent Video, who gave them the courage to spend tens of millions to purchase the online broadcast rights of "Born Together"? Don't you know how much you weigh? No self-knowledge at all.
Anyway, giant companies such as Huayi are waiting to see Tianhai overturn, and they are also waiting to see Tencent Video lose money. Other video websites don't care about Tianhai, they just stare at Tenxin Video. They are also waiting to see Tenxin Video overturn and watch Tenxin Video's jokes.
Not only a few giant companies and video websites, but also many people in the industry are not optimistic about Tianhai's move to sell "Stay Together" to Tencent Video. Even many people who like it are also optimistic about it.
"Are you stupid? Is Tianhai stupid? He actually sold the exclusive online broadcast rights of "Staying Together" to Tencent Video."
"I also think Wang Xuan made a bad move. It was not good to sell to any video website. Why did it sell to Tencent Video? Tencent Video has no sense of presence in the video field. It wants volume but not volume, and wants content but not content. "
"I never use Tencent Video anyway."
"Me too. I have accounts on Tomato, Potato, Kiwi, and Xigua Video, but not on Tencent Video. As a result, Tianhai just sold "Welcome to the Window Together" to Tencent Video. Now, even if I want to support Wang Xuan can’t do it either.”
"For one thing, Tencent Video is quite courageous. It was actually willing to spend nearly 30 million yuan to buy the online broadcast rights of "Stay Together"."
"What's the use of courage? Can you earn it back?"
"Yes, not only Tianhai made a bad move, but Tencent Video also made a bad move. 30 million, how dare he?"
"The main thing is that "Welcome to School Together" is not the first broadcast. This TV series has been broadcast twice on Shangxing Satellite TV. Seven or eight TV stations have taken turns to bomb it. All the viewers who should watch it have already watched it. At this time, Tencent Video If you purchase the online broadcast rights of "Welcome to the Same School", how much on-demand rate can you get?"
Amidst all the bad news, at 8 pm on the 18th, "Welcome to the Same Window" finally made its online premiere on Tencent Video. Tencent Video directly promoted "Born Together" on the homepage and released 8 episodes at once.
Different from Shangxing Satellite TV, TV dramas are broadcast on Shangxing Satellite TV. Generally, only two to three episodes are played every day. They can be played on the Internet. Most video websites will directly release eight or ten episodes to attract wolves, and then Two episodes are aired every day.
After "Staying Together" was launched on Tencent Video, many netizens opened Tencent Video on their mobile phones, or downloaded Tencent Video from the application platform, registered an account, recharged VI, and then clicked on "Standing Together" Watched.
Xiao Huihui's sister He Jie is one of them.
In fact, she has accounts on Potato, Tomato, and Kiwi, and is a loyal fan of these three major video websites. But she also has another identity, one of Wang Xuan's loyal fans.
What Wang Xuan doesn't know is that he has a fan support group, of course it's just private and not certified by Wang Xuan. And He Jie is one of the members of Wang Xuan’s fan support group.
Last night, "Staying Together" had its finale on Suning TV. He Jie watched the TV series completely without missing an episode, and sometimes watched other TV series during the day.
So tonight He Jie downloaded and registered a Tencent Video account to watch "Bedroom Together" on demand. It was originally purely for the purpose of supporting Wang Xuan, but she ended up watching it without knowing it.
There are many people like her, it’s all written on the barrage.
"Second viewing, I originally just wanted to support Teacher Wang Xuan, but I ended up watching it. This TV series is really good."
"We both watch it, we support Wang Xuan, we both watch it. This drama is so funny, I laughed until my stomach cramped."
While many netizens were watching "Together", Shen Yue did not watch the plot of "Together" because she had watched the drama from beginning to end twice before.
By the way, Shen Yue is the person in charge of the film and television section within Tencent Video. It was she who proposed the idea of introducing the TV series "Stay Together" at a price of 10,000 per episode. When other people in charge had reservations, it was she who strongly suggested it to the director of Tencent Video.
For this reason, Shen Yue even issued a military order: After "Staying Together" was triggered, if the total number of views of "Staying Together" within two months did not exceed 5 million, she would lose her salary and bonus this year. .
A play volume of 50 million is not high on video websites such as Tomato and Tudou, but it is considered a ceiling level on Tencent Video.
The most important thing is that if the total number of views of "Born Together" exceeds 50 million within two months, it means that this TV series can at least bring millions of users to Tencent Video.
As long as each of these users becomes a member, Tencent Video can earn back the cost of purchasing the right to play "Welcome Together". If these users can be retained, Tencent Video will make a lot of money.
So the director agreed to Shen Yue's military order.
As the saying goes, if there are rewards, there must be penalties. The director also promised Shen Yue that if the total number of views of "Born Together" exceeds 50 million, Shen Yue's salary and bonus will be doubled this year.
Shen Yue was naturally overjoyed.
She is very optimistic about the youth school drama "Staying Together" because she has watched "Staying Together" twice. She can never get tired of watching the plot. It has a strong sense of immersion and it is easy to get involved in it.
She believes other viewers will feel the same way.
Anyway, the on-demand rate is Shen Yue’s lifeblood now. Therefore, Shen Yue's current focus is on the premiere results of "Staying Together".
Shen Yue will definitely have trouble sleeping tonight.
The premiere results of "Born Together" are too important to her. Although she knows that there will be a delay in statistics statistics, the accurate premiere results will not be known until the next day. But Shen Yue still couldn't sleep and kept watching "Crossing the Window Together" all night long.
She didn't dare to refresh the page of "Staying Together" to see her results, so she could only pass the time by playing Landlords on her mobile phone...
In fact, the pressure she needs to bear is far from being as simple as salary and bonuses.
As the person in charge of "Staying Together", Shen Yue spent nearly 300,000 to buy the copyright of this drama. Once she fails, she will be difficult in the company for a long time in the future. Even if the superiors can tolerate her failure, She was not fired, but she certainly lost her right to speak. Of course, if she succeeds, her status in Tencent Video will also rise, and her voice will definitely be much greater. What she will get is far from simply doubling her salary and bonuses.
Shen Yue was betting, and the bet was huge. In fact, her future was tied to the TV series "Born Together".
If I lose the bet, I will leave Tencent Video at worst.
Having said that, Shen Yue was still a little uneasy in her heart. Tencent Video has too few users. With an on-demand rate of 50 million, even if one episode is selected for on-demand viewing, tens of thousands of users would have to watch "Welcome Together" from beginning to end to achieve it.
Time passed, a quarter of an hour, two quarters of an hour, an hour, two hours,...soon, several hours passed. At 6 o'clock in the morning, Shen Yue couldn't bear it anymore and planned to go to bed.
But before going to bed, she must first check how many plays "Bedroom Together" has received, otherwise she probably won't be able to sleep peacefully.
She moved the mouse to the page "Crossing the Window Together", closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and mustered up the courage to click.
Shen Yue refreshed the page of "Staying Together" for the first time. Before opening her eyes, Shen Yue actually had the mentality of death anyway. As a result, when the data of this drama appeared in front of Shen Yue's eyes,
Her eyes suddenly widened!
"How can this be…"
Shen Yue sat in front of the computer, completely stunned!
At this moment, the page on the computer screen is clearly displaying several important data of "Staying Together" one by one. Rating: 9.4 Clicks: 6854821 Number of comments: 4822
"One, two, three, four, five, six, seven. Yes, it is indeed seven digits. It also means that the number of views of "Bedroom Together" in one night was as high as 6.85 million. This"
Even though the data was clearly presented in front of her eyes, Shen Yue couldn't believe the result.
Shen Yue bit her lip. The clear pain reminded her that all this was real, and she was completely excited! "Hahaha! The bet is right, the bet is right, I will become rich!"
