Chapter 390 A True Small Investment for a Big Gain!

That night.

The agent watched the show until two in the morning.

When he saw Zhao Maimai, who played the heroine, sitting on the golden dragon throne with a majestic and powerful face.

The agent was a little bit unbelieving.

He had finished watching it just now?

How many years had it been since he finished watching a drama like this?

What kind of magic does this drama have?

At this moment, the agent seemed to have entered the sage time, with an inexplicable sense of emptiness.

But he couldn't think of anything specific.

The heroine's acting seemed to be quite good.

But it was not as good as the top level.

The plot seemed to be quite interesting, but in essence, it was still the routine of palace fighting dramas.

It stands to reason that he had watched the plot so many times, why couldn't he stop watching it at all?

The agent didn't understand.

But seeing that his bank card balance was less than 90 yuan.

The agent felt a little guilty for some reason.

Was this considered aiding the enemy?

He really didn't think about it.

But at that time, it was like being possessed...

But it shouldn't be a big deal, right?

I must be the only one who is stupid enough to spend 90 yuan to watch a short drama, right?

It doesn't cost so much to watch a TV series normally, okay?

At this moment, Shu Xin's door opened.

Shu Xin, who was sleepy, looked at the living room that was still brightly lit, and the agent sitting there, and was stunned: "Sister Zhang is still awake?"

This was the first time Shu Xin called Sister Zhang so sincerely.

The agent felt a little uncomfortable, and quickly put away her phone and stood up to answer: "I'm going to sleep now, I'm going to sleep now..."

After saying that, she returned to her room in a bit of embarrassment.

Shu Xin looked at the back of the agent, her eyes full of touching.

She used to dislike this Sister Zhang for not being a big-name agent, and she didn't have any resources herself, but was just sent by the company to take care of her temporarily.

Shu Xin was still thinking that when she became popular, the first thing she would do was to kick her out.

But now, her own drama was released.

The other party actually stayed up all night to check the public opinion.

This made Shu Xin particularly moved.

An agent like Sister Zhang is what she needs most.

As for resources, the academy has plenty anyway. If Sister Zhang doesn't have them, then so be it...

Agents like this are the ones who are truly worthy of your trust.

...

Xingchen Academy.

Girls' dormitory building.

There are also many people who can't sleep tonight.

"Look, the first episode has been viewed over 120 million times..."

"Are we going to be popular? I saw a lot of comments and comments praising our filming for being interesting. They are addicted."

"There are also a lot of people praising our acting skills!"

"But those who hate us don't seem to be..."

"Hey, don't care about the haters' words. The comment praising my beauty has over 8,000 likes. Am I going to be popular? Tsk tsk, do you think if I go live to sell goods, can I beat Li Gui directly?"

In Zhao Maimai's dormitory, the girls can't sleep at all.

They are all swiping the comments of the skit.

They are happy when they see the praise.

They get angry when they see the haters.

At the same time, they will have some small thoughts and try to find comments and comments praising themselves in the comments or in the scenes where they appear.

After all, the biggest goal of being an actor is to get the recognition of the audience.

However, the students were happy but also a little nervous.

On the one hand, although the number of views was high, there were indeed many haters.

On the other hand, the short drama was so popular, mainly because of the college and Douyin.

No matter how high the number of views was in the front, it had little to do with their works themselves, and it did not mean that they were good at shooting.

Only the audience after the tenth episode represented that the attracted audience recognized their works and were willing to pay to watch them.

Therefore, the charging data is the only standard to test their works.

With such a large flow, it feels that the income is not over 10 million, which is not qualified.

If it is lower.

Then the college involved will probably lose face.

Especially Zhao Maimai, she was particularly nervous.

She was looking forward to the popularity of this drama.

That is, she did not want to disappoint the college.

She also did not want the woman named Shu Xin to surpass herself.

After all, no matter how calm her mentality was.

No one would be happy to see someone who was not as good as herself far surpass herself.

It’s just that the specific data will not be known until the next day.

After persisting until two or three o’clock, several girls fell into a deep sleep.

When they woke up the next day, their pretty faces were a little tired, and Zhao Maimai even had dark circles under her eyes, which was rare.

They were nervous.

And the first thing they did when they woke up was to know their grades and how many paying users there were.

How much income they had.

But they looked at the time and it was only eight o’clock.

The teachers hadn’t come to work yet, and it was probably the same for Douyin.

So everyone could only suppress their expectations and uneasiness, go to the playground to run, and have breakfast.

It can be seen that it was not just Zhao Maimai and other girls who were like this.

All the students in the film and television major were a little nervous.

Even if they were confident, they still felt nervous when the time came.

However, the seniors from the same school gave them a lot of encouragement after seeing them.

"It's well filmed, but too expensive. I spent 90 yuan watching it for one night. I feel sad..."

"Our dormitory raised money to buy the whole series. It was really great to watch it, but I stayed up until two o'clock. When I thought about the class I had to go to soon, I wanted to die."

"Maimai's acting is so good, she beats Shu Xin by ten blocks!"

"Keep going, I want to watch more after watching it..."

The encouragement from the seniors warmed their hearts.

But after all, they are all family members, and most of the words they said are encouraging.

It cannot represent the true views of the outside world.

So when the students of the film and television major were having breakfast, the atmosphere was still a bit dull.

But when the time came to nine o'clock.

In the large group of Xingchen Film and Television Major, the head of the major, Mr. Zhou, suddenly came out and x-on:everyone.

"Congratulations to all students..."

"The total number of people who recharged the "Black Lotus Manual" you shot on the first day exceeded three million, and the total recharge turnover exceeded 100 million..."

When watching Mr. Zhou's speech in the large group.

The entire teaching building of the film and television major seemed to be quiet in an instant.

Everyone, including Zhao Maimai, showed an expression of disbelief.

The number of people who recharged and paid on the first day exceeded three million?

The recharge turnover on the first day exceeded 100 million?

This...

Is it true?

You know, with so many big-budget movies released every year, 90% of them can't make more than 100 million yuan at the box office.

And what about them?

With a short play with a total shooting budget of only 2 million yuan, they have earned 100 million yuan in revenue?

And it's the first day?

Such a result is undoubtedly beyond everyone's expectations.

Even the most confident students didn't expect to be so successful.

So, after a brief shock.

The entire teaching building of the film and television major was filled with shocking cheers.

All the students were cheering.

Such a result means that they succeeded!

It means that their efforts have been recognized by everyone!

It also means that they did not lose face for the school!

Classes were supposed to start at 9 o'clock.

But the teachers of the film and television major were all smiling in the office, listening to the cheers of the students.

They planned to give the students more time to celebrate.

The students did a really good job.

Because in fact, even the teachers didn't expect that the students' short play would be so successful.

...

And at the moment when the students cheered and were excited about this result.

On the Internet, countless netizens were slacking off and browsing their phones early in the morning after work, and their minds were not yet clear.

They were shocked by the news released by the Douyin platform.

The short play shot by Xingchen students actually sold 100 million yesterday?

Is it true?

Because Xingchen Academy has its own attention, Douyin's advance warm-up, and the bundling and stepping marketing of "Palace Lock".

Most netizens are quite familiar with the short play shot by Xingchen students.

Short video TV series.

The total investment is only two million.

It was updated online at 8 o'clock yesterday.

Many netizens even saw it on the short video platform and took a few glances.

It was just such a short play, which was online for only four hours yesterday and made a full 100 million?

This really breaks everyone's cognition.

After all, even the most popular movies in China, even those with billions of investments, may not make so much money in the first four hours of release, right?

What kind of magic does the short play shot by Xingchen students have?

At this point, even netizens who don't usually watch short videos downloaded and opened Douyin to see what was going on.

And those netizens who watched it twice yesterday also chose to reopen it.

Such a profitable short play must have something special.

They plan to watch it again.

In this way, more and more netizens started watching "Black Lotus Promotion Manual" again.

And on those social platforms.

Discussions related to Xingchen short play have almost reached an overwhelming level.

"No, I watched it yesterday. It's a drama based on the plot of a stupid online novel. There's no foreshadowing, no content, just all kinds of pretentiousness and face-slapping. Why is it so popular?"

"I'm not the only one who doesn't watch short dramas, am I?"

"It's mainly because it's fun. I've been watching palace dramas for so many years, but I've never seen anything so fun. It combines all the fun points of palace dramas, episode after episode, and I can't stop watching it, okay?"

"Indeed, I paid attention to both dramas yesterday. I originally liked Gongsuo more, but the heroine was a bit out of place, and the rhythm was a bit slow. I simply opened the short video on my phone and planned to take a look, but I couldn't stop watching it. Everything happened too fast. The heroine of Gongsuo hasn't received the news of entering the palace yet, and the Xingchen short drama has already started to slap the eunuch in the face..."

"Me too. Zhao Maimai, who plays the heroine, is like leveling up and fighting monsters, one thing after another. I really couldn't help but recharge."

"In my opinion, Xingchen's short drama is not as good as "Palace Lock" in most aspects. But they just grasped the excitement and rhythm, one wave after another, and you can't stop watching it. In comparison, Palace Lock seems too bland."

"If nothing else, at least Zhao Maimai's acting skills are far better than that of Jiazi Yin Shuxin, okay?"

"That's right. I feel that Zhao Maimai's acting skills seem to be better than before. She was only a little better than Shuxin before, but now the gap is too obvious."

"Is the teaching level of Xingchen Academy so good?"

"..."

On the Internet, the doubts and approvals about Xingchen's short drama are basically half and half.

Many netizens think that this short drama is too meaningless and the plot is too exaggerated. It is a bad drama among bad dramas.

But some netizens think that the drama is very enjoyable and has a tight rhythm.

What's the point of talking about connotation? Just enjoy it and that's it?

Don't cause too much controversy.

And where there is controversy, there is heat.

As a result, the top ten hot search lists are basically occupied by various related terms of Xingchen short dramas.

In contrast.

The first day's performance was also amazing. The number of people discussing and following Gongsuo, which broke the record of TV dramas, was visibly small.

After all, there is only so much attention.

Everyone went to discuss Xingchen short dramas, so naturally no one paid attention to Gongsuo.

So the hot search about Gongsuo breaking the record even fell outside the top ten.

It can be seen that this big production has been completely crushed by Xingchen Academy's short drama in terms of heat and attention.

...

And the popularity of Xingchen short dramas.

Obviously not only at the audience level.

It can be said that when Xingchen e-sports' first day revenue was announced.

The entire film and television industry was shocked.

Short videos can actually make money like this?

Earn 100 million in four hours?

This is more profitable than any TV series or movies.

This is totally picking up money.

As the saying goes, laymen watch the excitement, experts watch the doorway.

Real practitioners can see it with just a few glances.

The short drama shot by Xingchen students really doesn't cost much.

There are basically no big scenes, all shot in a small space.

And there are not many people.

Although the props are not to the extent of being simple and cheap, they are all very simple.

I guess the only thing that cost a lot of money is the actors' costumes.

And the shooting time is not long.

If the Hong Kong directors who were once famous for their speed were asked to shoot, it would probably take a week to finish all the shooting.

Such a small amount of money, such a small workload, but so much money.

It really makes them eager to move.

In the past two years, the entire film and television industry has actually been impacted by short videos.

Movies are okay, after all, there is an environment bonus for watching in theaters.

But TV series are really hit by short videos.

Many related practitioners are almost unable to find a job.

But now, because of the short dramas shot by Xingchen students, they seem to have seen new hope.

Short video + TV series, a brand new field, a brand new track.

It was created by a group of students from Xingchen Academy.

It is incredible.

Some film and television companies with a keen sense of smell have begun to have people study Xingchen short dramas and plan to follow suit.

Others who have not moved are also watching the performance of Xingchen short dramas today.

I want to know whether the income of Xingchen short dramas can go further.

In short.

On this day, both the audience and the capital were attracted by the "Black Lotus Manual".

The production team of "Palace Lock" was basically confused today.

What's going on?

They invested tens of millions and assembled a large-scale production of various traffic stars.

It was actually crushed by a short video shot by students in their spare time in terms of popularity, discussion, and attention?

This?

How is it possible?

The entire crew couldn't help but feel a sense of absurdity.

Especially Shu Xin, she was ready to become famous today and be on numerous hot searches.

When she woke up today, she was the only one on the hot search on the Internet?

And the hot search content was: "Zhao Maimai's acting skills beat Shu Xin in all aspects!"

She finally got on a hot search, but she was still used for comparison?

Shu Xin said she couldn't accept it.

However, what she couldn't accept even more was yet to come.

At 8 o'clock the next night.

After the third and fourth episodes of "Palace Lock" were updated, the popularity dropped sharply compared to yesterday.

The total number of views of the two episodes did not even exceed 10 million.

The audience loss has reached a very serious level.

It made the entire crew of "Palace Lock" a little breathless.

Could their audience have been robbed by the short play of Xingchen Academy?
