"Bai Ye Chasing the Murderer" is a web drama.
The so-called web drama refers to a type of web series specially produced for the Internet and broadcast through the Internet.
In this day and age, the Internet is highly developed.
Young people have abandoned traditional TV sets and turned to mobile phones, tablets, computers and other network devices.
Especially mobile phones.
It seems that it has become an entertainment tool for young people to carry with them.
With the advent of the era of the Internet, the scene of waiting for the TV series to start broadcasting by watching the TV, and the scene where a TV series can attract thousands of people, is gone forever.
In recent years, online dramas have almost shown a blowout state.
Compared with traditional TV dramas, web dramas are more open, inclusive, and diverse.
However, the production cycle of web dramas is short and the cost is relatively low. This "fast food" production method has resulted in most of the web dramas being shoddy and relatively poor in reputation.
Before "Bai Ye Chasing the Murderer" was launched, there was no large-scale publicity.
In addition, this drama does not have any traffic stars, and it is still a suspense type that is not good at home.
The only point that can be hyped may be Lin Feng.
But now that Lin Feng is full of negative news, it is not easy for the producer to use him to hype him, so he can only choose to go online quietly.
Therefore, after the first few episodes were launched, there was no disturbance, and the broadcast volume was not very satisfactory, far from meeting expectations.
On the broadcasting platform side, Youku's headquarters conference room.
The bleak data for several days in a row, whether it is the investor, the producer, or the platform, all shook their heads and sighed.
They didn't like the show at first.
After the script of "Bai Ye Chasing the Murder" was completed, Fengyi Media, which bought the copyright, approached video sites such as Aiqiyi, Penguin, and Blind Fruit one by one to discuss cooperation.
But at that time, they devoted themselves to family ethics dramas and urban romance dramas, and had no idea about suspenseful crime dramas.
instead
Yuan Yumei, the director of Youku, stayed on the script for a while.
The plot is not procrastinated, the case is real, and the language style hits the nail on the head, which moved her a little.
But at that time, she was busy with the production of other web dramas, and she really didn't have extra energy, so she gave up this script for the time being.
After walking halfway through the entertainment circle, I met many investors, but none of the platforms were willing to take over "Bai Ye Chasing the Murderer". Therefore, "Bai Ye Chasing the Murderer" was obliterated for three years.
Three years later, director Yuan Yumei finally picked up the script again, and found Wang Wei.
This is how everything after that...
"I've already said, suspense dramas are not good!"
The person who spoke was the general manager of Youku's online drama branch, a middle-aged man with a big belly.
Yuan Yumei looked a little dignified, and said, "Mr. Yu, let's have a look again."
"Don't look at it!"
Mr. Yu waved his hand: "What is the current market? Urban, romantic, funny, ancient costume, fantasy are the mainstream!"
"If you hadn't sworn that this movie would work, I wouldn't have invested so much money in it!"
"If you want cp but not cp, if you want funny but not funny, if you want love but not love, there are only murder, violence, and gore. These cruel elements will only leave the audience with the impression of "don't dare to watch"."
"What is the mainstream crowd watching dramas now? It's women! Which woman would watch your suspenseful crime dramas with brain-burning plots?"
"And you should know how difficult it is to review suspense dramas, and you will face the risk of being removed from the shelves at any time. Taking such a big risk, this is it now?"
"Director Yuan, Director Yuan, have you been working for so many years, the more you work, the more you go back?"
Mr. Yu knocked on the table and criticized Yuan Yumei severely.
Yuan Yumei's face was very ugly, but she still argued: "Mr. Yu, I think there is a market for crime suspense dramas. Look at this kind of themes. They have been successful in the beautiful country of cherry blossoms, and even Hong Kong Island.
Why can't we? "
"Nowadays, our audience's aesthetics and the level of watching dramas have been greatly improved, and our drama has a script that is no less than theirs. The lead actor Lin Feng has also performed very well. I think there is still a chance. Don't worry. Make a conclusion!"
"Ah--"
Mr. Yu chuckled disdainfully: "Director Yuan, Director Yuan, I think you haven't figured out the situation yet. What is the ultimate goal of our platform? It's profit!"
"It's not about contributing to the development of Longguo's TV industry. We shoot whatever the audience likes to watch. If there are no audience to watch, no matter how good your filming is, it's useless!"
"In short, the first part was shot very well, but don't make the second part!"
After the words fell, the investors present couldn't stop nodding.
Only the chief producer Yuan Yumei, producer Wu Wan and director Wang Wei looked solemn.
Now that the data of "Bai Ye Chasing the Murderer" is not good, what they say is superfluous.
All they can do is hope that the audience can improve their aesthetics and viewing level as Yuan Yumei said, and they are willing to watch suspense dramas like "Bai Ye Chasing the Murder" with a tough style and a grim picture.
Especially director Wang Wei.
He really put in a lot of hard work for this drama.
Also, he felt that Lin Feng's superb performance should be seen by more people instead of being buried.
"Okay, the meeting is over!"
Mr. Yu stood up impatiently and was about to walk outside the meeting room.
But at this time.
A staff member rushed in in a hurry and almost bumped into Mr. Yu head-on.
"What's wrong? You're in a panic!"
Mr. Yu's already annoyed face added a bit of anger.
The staff held a report in their hands, and excitedly said to the general manager: "It exploded! It exploded!"
"What happened?" Mr. Yu frowned.
The staff shouted excitedly: "Bai Ye chased the murderer, it exploded!"
