The popularity of "The Long Season" is getting higher and higher.
In the past week, the number of daily active users of Kiwi Video exceeded Penguin Video for the first time.
This number soon appeared in the meeting of Kiwi executives.
When the big guys looked at this data, their faces were filled with joy.
The big boss patted Hu Xiaoguo and said with a smile:
"This seems to be the second time in my speakers that our daily activity has surpassed Penguin Video, right? But the last time, it only lasted three days. I hope this time it can last longer."
Hu Xiaoguo nodded assuringly and humbly reported back to the reporter: "Actually, this time we have taken advantage of Song Ci."
The big boss gave a thumbs up and said: "You still have a unique vision. I think the value of Song Ci's IP alone is comparable to that of our entire website. Such a top big boss Dude, we must be firmly bound to our Kiwi boat."
Saying that, the big boss dusted his sleeves and continued: "Even sometimes, the benefits can be given to him more. It would be great if we could get the film and television rights of the Song Ci Five Thousand Years series. Let's just make a second A ten-year plan!”
The big boss of Kiwi Fruit has a good status in the world.
He has started several businesses, with successes and failures.
Five or six years ago, we officially entered the direction of video websites. Although in the past two years, long-form video websites such as Kiwi, Uten, and Penguin Video have been greatly impacted by short-video websites.
But the fundamentals are still there.
The boss's vision is still very vicious. Now in the investment circle, everyone agrees that Song Ci is the number one money-maker in the country.
Anyone who can board the chariot of Song Ci will definitely make a lot of money in the future.
Hearing what the big boss said, Hu Xiaoguo said: "Song Ci has a high degree of freedom. His company is completely his own, so if we want to win him over, we probably have to rely on sincerity."
The big boss leaned forward and his eyes flickered: "Song Ci is only in his early thirties, right? Send some of the female artists we signed over and see if he likes them?"
Hu Xiaoguo shook his head and said: "Song Ci must not be very good, otherwise with his status, I don't know how many gossips have been spread."
The big boss knocked on the table and said with emotion: "When I attended the Qingzhou Investment Banking Summit last week, everyone was saying that Song Ci's company is now the largest unicorn in the country, and if it goes public, its market value can exceed 100 billion. "
Hearing this, Hu Xiaoguo's eyes widened.
Hundreds of billions...what kind of concept is this?
You know, this is just Song Ci's personal company.
It all depends on the output of Song Ci alone.
On the other side, the news that Kiwi’s daily activity once again surpassed Penguin’s was placed in front of Penguin’s top management.
Everyone's faces were ugly.
"Damn it, is it because of Song Ci again this time?"
"Hey... I watched "The Long Season". The quality was very high... This Song Ci is really not human. How many high-quality works have been output in a row?"
"Now that I think about it, our cooperation with Song Ci was actually very good..."
This sentence came out faintly from the corner.
Everyone stopped talking.
Penguin Video originally parted ways with Song Ci over the charging issue for "The Silent Truth," but last month, a note was issued stating that video websites were not allowed to charge in advance.
In this way, Penguin Video can be said to have stolen the chicken but lost the rice.
Song Ci, the most popular fried chicken dish in the country, was handed over to its most direct competitor, Kiwi Fruit.
This matter has even become a joke in the industry.
Zhang Shuhua, the head of Penguin Video content, looked at the big bosses and their expressions were not very good, so she could only laugh twice and said:
"Dear bosses, actually the recruitment data of our Mist Theater is quite good..."
The big boss waved his hand, signaling Zhang Shuhua to stop talking.
He turned around, looked at the man in a black suit beside him, and said calmly: "Repair the relationship with Song Ci within a week."
The man stood up, showed an extremely serious expression, and then nodded heavily.
When the fifth episode of "The Long Season" aired, its reputation across the Internet exploded.
The current playback volume of a single episode has exceeded 300 million.
And it has been viewed by more than 2 million people on Douban, with a super high score of 9.5.
This score surpasses Song Ci's previous works "The Hidden Corner" and "The Silent Truth" and directly becomes the ceiling for similar themes.
The audience did not hesitate to praise them.
"If this show is scolded for its slow pace, then it's not the show that's wrong, it's our personality that has been eroded by short videos!"
"What is the long season? It's the autumn when his son left. From then on, Wang Xiang was trapped in this long season, regardless of spring or winter. TMD, although I haven't finished watching it yet, the quality of the whole drama is simply overwhelming. Yes! I like every character so much! The actors are so good at acting, and Song Ci is so good at writing! I’m especially looking forward to seeing Song Ci on the big screen now!"
"The roaring train at the beginning stirs up the rolling torrent of time, kicking off the gorgeous and heavy prologue of "The Long Season". There is no doubt that this is a drama about the fate of ordinary people in the context of a long-span era. Recording the changes of the times such as the wave of layoffs, as well as the turmoil in the emotional lives of small people (losing loved ones and still having to bear the pain to continue living), it can be called a panoramic group portrait with a sense of history.
"This drama is suspenseful on the surface, but it's actually about human nature. The Northeastern comedy rhythm highlights the desolation of the characters' fate. Different from the darkness of "The Hidden Corner", this time "The Long Season" is much brighter, and the opening chapter is all warm. The tonal scene contrasts with the tragic case.”
The audience praised Song Ci in all aspects.
The actors certainly benefited, too.
Liu Zhenfeng needs no words, his status in the world is already here.
But the god-level acting skills he displayed in "The Long Season" still made countless viewers sigh with shock.
"Teacher Liu's acting skills are so natural!"
"Teacher Liu is getting older now. I suggest that Teacher Liu stay locked up with Song Ci from now on. The quality of Song Ci's scripts is really hard to choose!"
"I think so too. We must be watching one less of Mr. Liu's dramas. I hope that the quality of each of his subsequent dramas will be high enough!"
And Ma Weiming gave the audience a strong sense of freshness because of his great sense of contrast in the play.
He had just come out of the hot memes like "Look, do I still have a chance? Let's climb the mountain together" in "The Hidden Corner", and fell into the image of the character "Biaozi" in "The Long Season" Went in.
His popularity with the audience has not declined due to the poor image of the character he plays, but has grown substantially.
At Ma Weiming's house, his wife held her cell phone and read to Ma Weiming the hot comments on Weibo with a smile.
"I don't know why, but as soon as Biaozi appeared, I wanted to laugh! Teacher Ma's acting is so natural!"
"Such a good actor is what our domestic entertainment needs! The character is so vivid!"
But the one who benefited the most from this drama was newcomer Qian Hongmian.
Once a play like "The Long Season" comes out, it can be regarded as her masterpiece.
The number of followers on Weibo increased rapidly, reaching seven figures in just one week.
This girl returned to school and was completely surrounded by her classmates.
"Hongmian, tell us, how did you get the role of Shen Mo in "The Long Season"?"
"I'm so envious! Hongmian, you've really taken off!"
Qian Hongmian's ears turned slightly red as she listened to everyone's compliments. She took out her phone and opened the photo album.
I turned to the photo of her and Song Ci at the premiere ceremony of "The Long Season". After pouting, she chose to post it on Weibo:
"Thank you all for your love for the role of "What", and thank you to our dear editor boss for choosing me to interpret this role."
Because Song lyrics appeared in this photo, this Weibo quickly became a popular Weibo.
Time passed quickly, and "The Long Season" soon came to its finale.
The grown-up Shen Mo appeared in the camera and began to take revenge.
As for the adult Shen Mo, Gu Jinghong made a surprise guest appearance.
As soon as she appeared, the audience was stunned.
Because before, there was no relevant news at all.
Even in order to ensure a surprise for the audience, Gu Jinghong's name did not appear in the cast list in the previous episodes.
At this moment, the audience was excited to see Gu Jinghong appear in surprise.
"I'll go! Song Ci, you will surprise us!"
"Haha, I was thinking before that the grown-up Shen Mo wouldn't be able to support himself with the money he has today. I didn't expect that Gu Jinghong would appear!"
"This is because Song Ci is so proud! Let a big shot like a movie queen in the future play a guest role like this!"
"This role is really suitable for Gu Jinghong. As soon as she appeared on the stage, I knew that this was Shen Mo!"
The success of "The Long Season" can be said to be all-round.
On the night of the finale, the hot search was directly contracted.
The number of daily active users of Kiwi Video has also surpassed Penguin Video for seven days in a row, setting a record.
This data makes everyone inside Penguin Video worried.
So on the day after "The Long Season" ended, a representative from Penguin Video appeared in front of Song Ci's office.
"Teacher Song Ci, this time I come to discuss cooperation with you with full sincerity." The sincere smile on Representative Zhang's face almost overflowed.
Song Ci smiled and shook hands: "But our company has no urgent projects recently!"
Liao Jie brought coffee in from outside.
Representative Zhang glanced at the coffee sadly, without any intention of drinking it, but said: "I know, we were a little unhappy because of "The Silent Truth" before. But don't worry, now we have fully realized Your appeal is great!”
Representative Zhang is absolutely speaking out.
This meaning is completely directed at the current popularity of Song Ci.
"Your cooperation with Kiwi... If you just cooperate with them, the price will definitely be manipulated. So, if you give us a chance, if there are good projects in the future, we can definitely come to Penguin, our The price will definitely satisfy you.”
Song Ci looked at the sincere smile on the other person's face without comment.
In business, if the price offered by Penguin is high enough in the future, it is not impossible.
But when it comes to contracts, you have to be more careful.
So Song Ci thought.
Representative Zhang knew that there would be no substantial progress with Song Ci this time.
The most talked about today was about hoping to repair the relationship with Song Ci.
Judging from the current response to Song Ci, it is actually very promising.
So he left directly.
At this time, Liao Jie came in and reported that Gu Jinghong was here.
Song Ci quickly let her in.
Gu Jinghong walked in, took off his sunglasses, glanced at the untouched coffee on the table, sat in front of Song Ci, and said:
"I didn't expect that your guest appearance would be so popular. I watched "The Long Season" and it was such a good drama. I was moved to tears."
She pointed at her eye sockets and signaled to Song Ci that she had dark circles under her eyes from watching dramas.
Song Ci laughed twice and said, "What do you mean, my good sister, you are here to see me when you are free today, and you are not just chatting, right?"
Gu Jinghong sighed and said: "The shortlist for this year's White Jade Award has come out, and I am not included."
Song Ci was surprised: "No way, you weren't even shortlisted? In "Autumn and Winter", your acting skills are still very good!"
Gu Jinghong shook his head helplessly.
It can be seen that the White Jade Award has really become her obsession.
She stood up and came to her side, and a faint fragrance filled Song Ci's nostrils.
"Screenwriter Song, look at the time and create a tailor-made script for me!"
Song Ci felt a soft pressure on the back of his head.
He coughed dryly and said: "This kind of thing is really rare. Your status in the world is worthy of this award. My suggestion is that you take a rest. I have a role suitable for you. I will definitely be the first." Time to find you.”
Gu Jinghong pursed his lips.
Liao Jie's voice rang outside the door: "Boss, Sister Hongdou is here."
Song Ci quickly stood up: "I have to work, this matter is not urgent!"
Lu Song did all the editing work for "Girls' Country" in Song Ci's company.
At this moment, the editing work was mostly in progress, but he suddenly discovered that there were problems with the lines in two plots. After urgent discussions with Song Ci, he needed to re-record.
The main actor involved is Song Hongdou.
Of course she was very cooperative and came over as soon as she had time.
Gu Jinghong blinked his eyes and said with a smile: "I haven't seen Hongdou for a long time. I have to ask her to have dinner with her tonight." (End of chapter)
