I really want to hit the street

Zhu Geliang.

A long-time anime fan.

Also known as: The second child stabs the ape.

His parents gave him this name when they gave birth to him, hoping that he would be as resourceful as Zhuge Kongming in the future, but they did not expect that he would become a scheming 0.

Ahem~ Putting aside the discussion of orientation for now, Zhu Geliang, as the second eldest thorny ape, has quite a status in the circle.

He manages a large QQ group of 2,000 people, and is known as the group leader.

You know, every circle plays with the other circles. Where we try our best to get in, people will come in and out as usual.

I’m not talking about Cosplayers here.

It’s about circle promotion, support, fan circles and the like.

What’s the most popular thing in the Chinese comic industry in the past month?

"Ordinary People Cultivation to Immortality"!

It’s popular before it’s aired!

Although the publicity is not overwhelming, the small clips released every day have a huge impact and continue to seduce the curiosity of the majority of animation fans.

Is the trailer really that good?

Has Chinese comics reached this level?

This is too exaggerated!

Especially today, the producer of this anime threatened to release 16 episodes in one go, turning people who were passing by to watch the excitement into fans.

There is no one but conscience and ears.

As a result, there were so many people watching on their computers and mobile phones at 12 o'clock!

Zhu Geliang is also one of them.

In his own "Cunning Two-thorned Ape" group, the topic has been occupied by "Ordinary People's Cultivation of Immortality".

Today’s conversation is all about this anime.

Zhu Geliang sat on the big gaming chair at home and pressed his buttocks with his hands. He put it to his nose and smelled it again, frowning and putting his fingers aside with a look of disgust on his face.

I refreshed the website a few times, but the anime is not online yet.

He put the finger to his nose again and smelled it, then frowned and put the finger aside.

After repeating this for more than 10 rounds, when the unstoppable smell of fresh excrement on the fingertips has faded away, "Ordinary People's Journey to Immortality" is finally online!

"Huh? Here we come!"

"I'll watch an episode first, study the quality, and then quickly go to Douban to post."

He got into the mood directly and opened the first episode of "Ordinary People's Cultivation of Immortality" again and again.

When Zhu Geliang came back to his senses, the sunset had gradually slipped.

On the computer, the ending song of episode 16 of "Ordinary People Cultivation to Immortality" is playing.

He watched it all afternoon, a full 6 hours!

Read it in one sitting!

I completely forgot about posting on Douban.

He was stunned for a moment and shouted loudly: "It's great!"

"It's so cool!"

"I don’t have to wait for weekly anime updates. It’s so cool! The graphics, the plot, and the dubbing are top-notch! I love it! Yyds Chinese Comics!"

He can’t wait to share this great anime with everyone in the group!

Then he opened the group and found that they had chatted a few hours ago.

"Damn it! Damn the Speedy Party!"

He never fast-forwards through movies, and listens to both the opening and ending songs.

It was very uncomfortable not to catch up with the first wave of discussions.

But fortunately he has a circle!

You can share it in other anime hobby groups, Coser hobby groups, and Sao0 dating groups.

His identity is not simply the leader of a group of 2,000 people, he also has an even more terrifying identity: Dragon King!

The Water Dragon King in multiple anime QQ groups!

Chat the most in the group every day!

Today, he didn't talk all afternoon, and others thought that he cosplayed with Hu Tao and was caught and anally fucked by some strong men.

"Brothers! Recommending an anime is simply amazing! Chinese comics are on the rise!!! "Ordinary People Cultivation to Immortality" is a pleasure to watch once, watch it quickly, and don't forget to tip coins! The more rewards you have, the better The next season will come soon! Help us quickly and leave a 6-word message to the producers!”

Many people in the group were taken to watch this anime, and those who watched it shared it with other anime groups. It spread quickly in the circle, making up for the users who had not been reached by the popularity of the previous video. , the number of viewers increased again.

This is also the benefit of good enough animation quality.

Lots of running water!

After Zhu Geliang finished sharing, and after chatting 10,000 words in the group, he finally returned to the web page.

Watching the anime that has ended, I feel disappointed.

"Why is it only 16 episodes?"

"Is it really going to be finished in one day? Are the production team joking? Is there a possibility that 16 episodes will be updated every week?"

"First put in the coins to reward me. Count me in for the Rise of Chinese Comics!"

Good works are paid for by people with real money, not by prostitution.

What content consumers pay for will appear more often.

Everyone is criticizing domestic mobile games for being a money-stealing game, and those who make games are shameless. They study every day how to make people earn money, but who is responsible for it? Don’t you know?

Although Zhu Geliang didn't think so clearly, he knew that everyone paying for the works they liked would prompt the production team to quickly shoot the second season.

Today is the carnival at Station B.

An excellent animation, a successful marketing, and a huge flow of traffic.

Just one anime, "Ordinary People Cultivation to Immortality", added 550,000 paid members to Station B!

Countless people gave this Chinese comic a score of 9.6!

There are also quite a few people who have been tempted to open the continuous monthly subscription service. If they forget to turn it off, then at a quiet moment next month, the sudden deduction record on WeChat will stab them in the back!

Automatic payment assassin!

The power is second only to the ice cream assassin in the store.

And after most people finished watching, a large number of shares made the topic of "Ordinary People Cultivation to Immortality" a direct hit among the top three hot searches!

It occupies the top three hot searches on Douyin, Weibo, Douban and other places.

I have been accumulating my strength for a month, just waiting for it to explode!

Hotly discussed across the internet!

For the first time in the industry, real-person motion capture technology is used throughout the whole process. The martial arts actors perform each move and then add post-production special effects. The effect is real, natural and cool.

This live-action CG form is a great progress for domestic animation!

Visible to the naked eye, there are essential differences from other animations, which has caused countless people to sigh: Can Chinese comics be so cool?

Topics bring popularity, popularity contributes to playback volume, and playback volume is closely related to revenue.

When the background data is soaring crazily.

The animation department of Station B also breathed a sigh of relief.

"Fortunately, we made the right bet this time. This anime is really going to be popular! Our 20 million exclusive broadcast copyright fee was not wasted. As long as the production team of this anime can stabilize the quality and continue to serialize it, our B station... Having one more pillar will give us a big advantage in the long run!”

20 million is not much for the huge size of Bilibili.

The amount of money the website spends on copyright every year is an astronomical figure, whether it is introducing foreign animation or TV series and movies.

In order for an animation to be played only on its own website, the website has to pay the production team an exclusive broadcast platform fee. Station B gave Duoyu Animation Company 20 million to buy the second chapter of "Ordinary People's Cultivation of Immortality" Exclusive broadcast rights for one season.

Apparently, they did something right!

The revenue from just one day of broadcasting has reached 1,000+ million yuan.

During the following period of popularity, it will easily double, and the rest will be free money!

The most important thing is that this drama can bring more users to Station B and lure users who have not originally watched anime on Station B to this website.

Originally, it was inseparable from Penguin Film and Television, which holds a large amount of animation IP copyrights, and has been in a state of being suppressed.

finally!

There is an anime that can make them rise!

"It's a pity that the production team insisted on not following the regular broadcast order. Otherwise, the time and topics would be longer, and the total broadcast volume and revenue would be even more considerable."

"That might not reach such a high level." The person below said.

The supervisor nodded: "In short, we made a profit! The production team should not lose money, and we can study the issue of renewing the animation copyright of "Ordinary People's Cultivation of Immortality" with them for the next season."

Duoyu Animation Company has recovered 20 million in costs through exclusive broadcast rights.

The total investment in this animation is 100 million, and it will have to earn another 80 million to recover the cost.

Although we have signed a good sharing agreement with Station B, this number is still too much.

Miao Sang sat at his desk with a frown on his face: "After counting the views, coins, rewards, memberships, and advertising shares, our income for the day just reached 20 million yesterday. This is the income we earned from releasing 16 episodes at once. The total number of views reached 64 million, and subsequent income will gradually decrease."

"Although we implemented Mr. Pu's wishes and exploded the traffic at one point in time, the total revenue within a month is estimated to be less than 80 million. It's broken! We can't make any money!"

"Don't Mr. Pu want to scold us to death?"

After a while, Dachun asked: "What about the 16 episodes of the second season?"

Miao Sang was stunned: "That must be no problem, but we didn't make any money this season, why would Mr. Pu let us film a second season?"

Dachun waved his hand: "Miao Sang, our budget for the second season is already in place!"

"When our project was initially established, we were based on the production budget of 32 episodes. However, because we could not complete production according to Mr. Pu's stipulated date, we changed it to a 16-episode season. This means our cost for the first season There is only 50 million, and the remaining 50 million has been invested in the second season. Director Xu has already filmed a lot of material for the second season, and we can now directly promote the second season!”

Miao Sang: "???"

"Damn it! Then we'll make a lot of money!"

Dachun smiled confidently.

He is only responsible for three things in this department:

1. Complete the work within the time required by Mr. Pu;

2. Implement rules according to Mr. Pu’s requirements;

3. Make money for Mr. Pu!

He doesn't need to worry about other aspects, the people below will take care of it naturally.

"Miao Sang. Don't be in a hurry to tell Mr. Pu this time. We can earn as much as we can from the first season. When the filming of the second season is completed and the overall profit is made, we will give Mr. Pu a big surprise!"

Miao Sang asked with a hint of worry: "Will President Pu be unhappy that we didn't make back the cost in the first season?"

"How is that possible! There is nothing in this company that Mr. Pu doesn't know about. Director Xu just finished the first season and went to shoot the second season. How could Mr. Pu not know that we only spent half the money on the first season?"

"Don't worry! Mr. Pu knows everything!"

Mr. Pu was lying on the bed, twisting and turning like a meat maggot while browsing short videos.

As an accurate big data user.

Mr. Pu's hobbies never include anime.

The videos recommended to him naturally rarely have anime elements.

He is a staunch three-dimensional fan.

If you have to say something that has something to do with Erciyuan, it may be that he likes to watch some Cosers who wear cool clothes and try to cater to the photographer's lens.

Of course, he looks at it with a purely artistic eye.

So, he perfectly avoided the tap water promotion of "Ordinary People's Cultivation Records" for a whole month.

It was not until the second place on Douyin's hot search that "Ordinary People's Cultivation Records" was in a row. 16 episodes were rushed, and it was called the light of Chinese animation.', he suddenly realized that something was wrong!

"Why is it on the hot search again? What the hell!"

Mr. Pu's heart tightened suddenly, and he felt that something was going to happen.

According to his original idea, he secretly hid the anime and did not allow them to spend money on promotion. On September 8, the last day stipulated by the system, 16 episodes were uploaded at once, catching the audience off guard, which was unethical.

In the end, it was acceptable to make a small profit based on quality.

Anyway, there is 10-20 million in funds, which the Metaverse project team can digest.

Those people are hungry and eager to spend hundreds of millions to make products. They are all money-burning monsters!

"It's getting bad."

Mr. Pu doesn't know how much money he can make now. After all, the animation has just started, and the data is increasing every moment.

He needs to let the bullets fly for a while before he knows how to deal with it.

There is only one month left before settlement.

"Why does it feel like something will go wrong again in the last month? Damn it!"

Moreover, not only "Ordinary People's Cultivation Records" was released, but the Metaverse project, which is the company's trump card money-losing project, was also launched early this morning!

Mr. Pu hasn't had time to try out their final version.

But there were a lot of problems when testing last month, and there won't be any big mistakes.

"Theoretically, the Metaverse project team is stable. There is no publicity, the product is bad, and the team is not harmonious."

"After the Metaverse project loses money, the money earned by the animation company can be used to make up for the loopholes and redevelop and improve it. It is natural to spend money to fix bugs and add content, so that the money can be spent without generating much profit."

What big companies can't do well, their Duoyu company can do well?

Laugh to death!

It's impossible!

Thinking of this, President Pu opened Steam and searched for the products under Duoyu Games, a total of 4.

The first and second ones are "Goddess Simulator" and "School Cultivation Simulator", both of which have received rave reviews and are word-of-mouth works.

Although they don't have such exaggerated sales as 3A masterpieces, they are also boutiques among low-cost productions, which have brought some iron fans to Duoyu Games. Some of them will pay attention to the new games of Duoyu Company and may become guinea pigs for the first try.

The third game: VR: DYChat. (Duoyu VR virtual reality chat)

"Is it the ridiculous chat room with crappy graphics that makes you vomit? Hey~ I can't afford it!"

Pu didn't have VR equipment at home, and didn't want to be dizzy again. So he looked directly at the fourth game.

"Metaverse: World of Warcraft"

"Metaverse game. Or is it for the computer? I'll download one and try it."

After downloading the game, Pu went to make himself a cup of instant coffee made by Jimmy for the president, and prepared to experience the semi-finished game while sipping the coffee.

"It couldn't be demonstrated a month ago, what can it look like now? Haha~"

Pu smiled and sipped the coffee.

"By the way, why does the name of this game sound familiar."
