Start by trimming cow hooves

Did nothing else that night.

While watching TV, I refreshed my data, and occasionally texted Daddario.

Between 8 pm and 9:30 pm, the growth rate of paid members is very fast, and then there is a cliff-like decline.

At first, I was confused and worried that there was something wrong, such as the payment channel crashing or something.

Think about it for a moment.

Suri thought of the reason.

The broadcast time of "The Walking Dead" is 8 o'clock in the evening on the West Coast of the United States.

Due to the time difference, it is already midnight on the densely populated east coast of the United States, while it is still early morning in Europe.

In addition, due to working days, some markets in Asia have not yet started to develop.

The data background only counts the real-time total number of paying members. If divided by region, users on the West Coast of the United States should currently account for the majority.

It seems like this.

In the future, the playback time should be pushed forward by two hours.

If it goes online at 6 o'clock in the evening on the West Coast, it will at least be convenient for users in North and South America, allowing them to watch the new dramas that have just been released that night.

It went online at 6 pm in Los Angeles time, and it was only 9 pm in New York on the East Coast. East Coast residents just finished watching the episode and went to bed.

Jot this down in the memo on your phone.

At around 10 o'clock in the evening, Suri refreshed the data again and found that the total number of paid members had exceeded 1.5 million.

If we follow this trend and slowly grow for two or three days, the first batch of paid members may exceed 3 million or even 4 million. This number is much better than Su Rui imagined.

The start is quite good, but it cannot be said to be stable.

Just like a newly opened restaurant or supermarket, there are many customers who are trying to join in the fun at the beginning. How to retain repeat customers is the top priority.

Most of the current batch of paid members are willing to spend money because of "The Walking Dead". Most of them gave up the discount of automatic monthly subscription renewal and only bought a one-month membership.

Therefore, it is necessary to ensure the quality of subsequent plots, and to take advantage of the victory and use the traffic attracted by "The Walking Dead" to launch other self-made dramas and provide more choices, so as to have a chance to gain a foothold.

Otherwise, after watching "The Walking Dead", viewers are likely to forget Netflix Entertainment, and other film and television resources on the platform will not be able to attract them for the time being.

…

the next day.

Suri woke up early.

The first thing after waking up, I didn't bother to run the water in the bathroom. I turned on my laptop and checked the background data again.

It was more than 1.5 million before going to bed last night, and now it has increased to more than 1.8 million.

So much so that when he went downstairs for breakfast, he was still sighing: "I have a headache. I always feel a little lack of energy."

As his personal assistant, Jiang Jiaya certainly knew what his private life was like.

One night a few days ago, she was going to go swimming in the indoor swimming pool, and she happened to bump into Suri and Yuko Hoshino, exercising unscrupulously in the swimming pool.

There were ripples on the water, and that scene still makes Jiang Jiaya's heart beat faster. Fortunately, neither of them saw it, otherwise she would have been so embarrassed.

The housekeeper and servants at home have a fixed area for activities at night. As a friend, she enjoys some special treatment and can sleep in the guest room.

At this moment.

Jiang Jiaya got distracted and joked:

"You usually don't take care of your body, but now you know that your stamina is insufficient? You should go to your grandma. Her dry goods store is full of supplements, specially designed to treat kidney deficiency."

"???"

Su Rui said blankly:

"What are you talking about? I mean the paid membership data of Netflix Entertainment. In the past eight hours, it has only increased by about 350,000. Sure enough, everything is difficult at the beginning. People are accustomed to using free software. Only online shopping and games are the easiest. Let them pay."

"..."

Embarrassed, Jiang Jiaya skipped his question and spoke faster:

"Unless the screen is recorded, the dramas on TV will be gone after they are played. If you want to watch them, you have to wait for them to come out on disc, so people have to squeeze out time, and the ratings will be more accurate. The dramas on network TV are on It’s on the official website, so you can take a look at it anytime you want. Of course they’re not in a hurry, it’s only been online for about twelve hours, so they can’t draw a conclusion yet.”

Su Rui sat lazily at the dining table, nodded and said:

"It's enough to satisfy me. The new series has only been released in the fourth episode. I can't wait for a while. The money spent by people to recharge their memberships, plus embedded ads, online ads, etc., the total revenue is 1,000 More than 10,000 yuan, so far the filming costs have been recouped.”

"...So soon? Then you are still sighing. I want to comfort you a few words. Now I just want to slap you away."

After Jiang Jiaya finished speaking, she helped him go to the kitchen to bring breakfast.

Two buns stuffed with mushrooms and vegetables, two buns stuffed with black pork, paired with a cup of soy milk and a sliced ​​apple. It seems simple, but in fact it is freshly made by the servant at home. It is nutritious and healthy.

Holding the chopsticks in hand, I picked up the meat bun and took a bite. The aroma hit my face.

Su Rui said: "These meat buns are even more delicious than the xiaolongbao I had at the restaurant last night. The sweet and sour short ribs are so sweet. I didn't order any staple food. I was so hungry that my stomach growled before going to bed. In fact, I planned to I asked you to go out and buy hamburgers for me."

"Thank you. I'm an assistant, not a slave. The streets are so chaotic at night. Can you bear to let me go out alone on the streets?"

Jiang Jiaya has already eaten and is sorting out the documents she just printed this morning.

"Why can't you bear it? When I give you red envelopes during the holidays, you almost turn into a fool with laughter. Only those who give will be rewarded."

Su Rui finished speaking casually and motioned for her to put the documents aside, as she was not in the mood to deal with official duties for the time being.

The old housekeeper came over at this moment and reported:

"The designer who came yesterday morning, Mr. Cronkite, is waiting for you outside. But there is no need to rush. I explained that you just got up and you need some time to prepare."

Warren Cronkite was the designer whom Suri had hired for $5,000 to create bikini jeans.

The other party graduated from California University of the Arts and was only in his twenties.

Su Rui nodded and said, "I'll go after I finish eating."

After looking Jiang Jiaya up and down.

He added:

"You also come with me to see him. I asked Warren to make some clothes samples. Although his legs are not very long, he can be a model for me. I can't try them on myself."

"...I have to say, your attitude towards asking for help is a bit bad."

Jiang Jiaya wanted to retort that her legs were also very long.

But she had seen Hoshino Yuko wearing a swimsuit, with white and straight legs over one meter long, and even she, a woman, was stunned.

She was really angry, with black lines all over her head, and continued:

"I'm crazy to compete with models. Why don't you compete with Jordan in basketball or Tyson with his punches? When I was in college, I was very popular. Many men pursued me."

Su Rui smacked her lips and said:

"Princeton University? The school is very good, but it's hard to find beauties in research-oriented universities. When they are in school, they are busy falling in love, so they have no time to study seriously..."
