Superstar starts from the Film and Television Academy

Big Star Star Starts at the Academy Chapter 177

Fifty million hits were already half of the first two episodes, and the conversion rate of ordinary users was already quite frightening, even the best episodes couldn't make everyone pay for them, and to have half the audience support was already something that many A-grade productions didn't dare to think about, and most viewers were waiting for the natural unpacking.

The time unknowingly came to twelve o'clock, the fourth episode's hits were similar to the third episode, but after twelve o'clock, the numbers started to drop rapidly, so it was good that Han Fei was prepared for it.

On the other hand, the viewers were berating Han Fei, because the fourth episode happened to be stuck right where the party was about to enter the main hall.

"Son of a bitch, I knew this thing must be trying to cheat me out of the coins in my pocket."

"Fuck, that's infuriating, the membership is useless when you get here, so why do I need to charge it?"

"Ahem, it will be slowly unsealed after half a month, if you don't have the money, just wait, dude wants kryptonite ahead of time!"

Ever since the first season of Tomb Raider, there have been many viewers who have paid to watch it on demand in advance, and for these viewers, twenty dollars is nothing, and being able to watch the next episodes in advance in one go will give them an inexplicable sense of superiority.

And this feeling of superiority would stimulate other viewers at the same time as they showed off.

"What a dog, Lawson can watch a TV and still be looked down upon? It's just over twenty dollars, speaking as if anyone doesn't have it."

That's right, that's why Han Fei doesn't inject water into the plot, eight episodes for three dollars, all on demand, it's only 24 dollars, which is the psychological price point of most consumers, once it exceeds thirty, there will be viewers who will think: I use it to charge airtime it doesn't smell good? And 24 bucks just happens to have no corresponding consumer product for viewers to compare to.

One of the more interesting phenomena is that the vast majority of users who generally spend three dollars will finish all the remaining episodes on demand, or else they'll feel like they've wasted the money they spent before.

"Hey, you really won't consider coming to Penguin Video? A product department general manager's position, I can still make the decision." After Liu Bin had seen the two o'clock data, he also had to admit that the young man in front of him had the user's mind completely figured out.

Han Fei smiled and shook his head, "You should know that I'm a person who can't stand constraints."

Liu Bin actually knew that Han Fei would refuse, but he was always reluctant if he didn't try.

"Do you have any plans for the next scene?"

"I've been too tired lately, so I guess I'll take a break for a while." What Han Fei said was also the truth, in the recent year or so, not only him, everyone in the company was working in tandem, even the machines needed maintenance.

"Well, if you have a plan, you will definitely give advance notice, Penguin Video will be your best partner." Liu Bin looked sincere and extended his hand.

"Definitely." A pair of hands clasped together.

There was a statistical report on the side of the table, the number of advance VODs for the fifth episode exceeded seven million in one hour, which meant that the revenue brought in by this alone exceeded twenty million.

I'm afraid that the entire industry would be shaken by such data bursting out.

Chapter 250 Super IP.

The next day at eight o'clock, the Penguin video on the whole network announced the [furious sea dive sand] of the data, a series of data announced, suddenly in the entire network have caused rendering big waves, that day Penguin video share price all the way up, less than half a day to stop, and even pulled the Penguin Holdings share price.

The company's main business is the development of a new business model, which is expected to be the first of its kind in the world.

The first is the kiwi video, although the original expected to be on line in June A grade production postponed, the data is too ugly, and finally have to take a well-produced self-produced drama to save losses, but we can also see that the production is well in front of the [Sea of Rage], only when the life of cannon fodder.

This is the reason why Kiwi video CEO Zhang Liang also called Han Fei to inquire about the shooting plan for the next season of Tomb Raider.

But it was also Han Fei with recent tired to recuperate for a while only to vaguely pass.

Penguin Video, after achieving great success, also did not forget to catch up, not only did not weaken the publicity funding, but also Liu Bin added a few million.

And these millions were put on the network, and they turned into a piece of touted soft articles.

"Tomb Raider conscience production, panoramic special effects, every bubble in the sea is burning money."

"Shocking! Han Fei himself confirmed that [Tomb Raider] is not spiritual, but science fiction, do you understand?"

Of course, it's also important to have the capital to blow, and if the [Furious Submarine] is shot like shit, the publicity will instead have a negative effect.

While most viewers abhor the money-grubbing that goes on ahead of the VOD Barely, they also have to admit that at least [Angry Submarine] is worth the price of admission.

First of all, there's the streamlined plot, and there's no watered-down, shitty romance plot in the "Sea of Rage", all of which revolves around clues, step by step cocooning and suspenseful.

If this was produced by a different team, the same plot, not watered down to 20 or 30 episodes would be sorry for the IP value of [Tomb Raider].

Of course, even the RMB is not everyone like, not to mention the film and television works, there are netizens that the [angry sea dive] did not meet their expectations of the effect, most people still grumble about the special effects, after all, the sea plot is shot in the green screen, special effects will indeed be slightly distorted, some people groan is also normal.

Overall, the viewers who have seen it have a pretty good sense of what they're looking at, as evidenced by the 8.1 rating on Pea.com.

But any film that involves special effects in the pea network score is not high, after all, domestic 50 cents special effects, we all understand, [angry sea diving sand] can have such a high score, has been very rare.

And that was just the first day, the week after that, as word of mouth fermented, and with the media publicity, more and more viewers who had never seen Tomb Raider noticed the film, and it even drove the number of clicks for the first season [Seven Star Lu Wang Palace].

The Penguin video side of the reaction is also quite swift, will be the first season of the [seven star Lu Wang Palace] all VIP withdrawn, set to free to watch, and the [angry sea diving sand] to attract a wave of traffic.

In their eyes, the rise in where is the data, obviously is money, according to this momentum, they are millions of investment, at least ten times more than the income.

And as the bulk of the investment, Han Fei was naturally the biggest beneficiary, with a conservative estimate of at least two hundred million dollars in net profit.

Unfortunately, due to the existence of advance VOD, the first half of the month will be the bulk of the revenue, after which the revenue will start to shrink, after all, the subscribers who are willing to spend money on a single episode is still only a very small number, this market has not yet been fully developed.

Imagine that the major video platforms have spent more than a decade and burned countless funds to cultivate hundreds of millions of paying members, and it will take at least a few years to convert these users into VOD users again.

It's also a direct result of the success of [Tomb Raider], which is hard to replicate. First of all, [Tomb Raider] is the first one to get the sweetness of advanced VOD, and it has accumulated a part of user's payment habit.

The second [Tomb Raider] every season of the episodes are very streamlined, but the production costs are huge, other episodes do not dare to do so, which is equivalent to gambling, once the gambling lost tens of millions of investment will be floating, for any film and television companies are unacceptable, they are more willing to inject water into the plot, invite a few stars to act forty or fifty episodes, safe and steady money, it does not smell good?

Of course, there is no shortage of practitioners in any circle, and there were indeed some web series that tried the same trick, but they all lost their money in the end, which also conveys a concept to all insiders that without a strong IP as a support, this kind of charging directly from the user's pocket is impossible to succeed.

And [Tomb Raider] becomes the only super IP on the entire internet with this ability.

At the end of June, the fifth and sixth episodes of the "Sea of Rage" were unbanned, and every week since then, two episodes have been unbanned, still free to watch for VIPs, just when everyone thought that the figures for the "Sea of Rage" would drop dramatically.

The episode that Han Fei recorded finally aired.

As the hottest variety show on the net right now, the audience is definitely quite large, and Han Fei's performance is bright enough, especially the interaction with Zifeng, with netizens joking that Zifeng has an extra brother.

As for the last song [Blue Lotus], it shows a talented and romantic Han Fei.

It instantly had many artistic youths flocking to it and taking pride in being a fan of Han Fei.

This wave of heat came up and topped up the [Angry Sea Submerged Sand] numbers several levels, and for a week straight the numbers were on an upward trend.

By July, the student holiday drew another wave of activity, and while on-demand revenues were reduced, the share of value-added membership services went up substantially.

It wasn't until early August that the numbers began to fall, and Han Fei was finally no longer a "negative owner" with a $200 million debt.

Chapter 251 The Importance of Cash Flow.

In June to July, the two-month period of the [Furious Sea Dive] ahead of the VOD exceeded 50 million times, that is, this alone brought 160 million revenue, of course, this money Penguin Video to split half, followed by the members of the watch hours share, which is also the current share of the revenue of the drama.

The first time I saw it, I thought it would be a good idea for me to get it, but I didn't. The last time I saw it, I thought it would be a good idea for me to get it.

The total investment is 35 million, two months earnings of 490 million, such income than in the industry already belongs to the miracle, but for some movies easily billions of dollars of capital disk, or very far, or else film and television companies one by one cut their heads to go to the film it.

This money to the account, the first time Han Fei let the accountant is also Bao Ruoxi to pay the tax, remove some reasonable exemption policy, Han Fei but a penny did not pay, dare to do something on the tax stars are not good end, take a lesson from ah.
