Chapter 49: Groove Promotion
Chapter 49: Groove Promotion
Thanks to Jiang Nian's guidance, the filming of "Flying Daggers of Dragon Gate" finally returned to track.
The scene was busy in full swing.
And at the same time, on the other side.
After more than a month of filming, "Jianghu Fengyunlu" has finally been launched on the Kiwi platform!
Because it is a web drama, they adopted the method of filming while broadcasting.
Firstly, the filming funds can be supplemented.
Secondly, this shooting method is very safe for web dramas.
"Is the publicity and promotion all done?"
With three minutes left before the premiere, the director was worried and asked the assistant director anxiously.
The assistant director was somewhat speechless: "Director, you have asked me this question no less than ten times. You can rest assured that I will do the job."
The director was dissatisfied with his impatient attitude and frowned: "It won't be wrong to be more meticulous. Are you really going to promote it?"
The assistant director was helpless and could only say, "We really promoted it. In the past two days, our Guangzi has appeared on Weibo every time we scrolled through it. I also contacted Kiwi and asked them to give it some publicity on the day of our premiere and put up a pop-up window."
"That's fine."
After hearing this reply, the director finally felt relieved.
He looked at the background page in front of him.
I waited anxiously.
One minute
Two minutes.
As time came to exactly eight o'clock in the evening.
The director clicks refresh.
A lot of data comes into view.
【Name: Records of Jianghu. 】
[Play volume: 5319, number of viewers: 715, barrage: 7, number of completed broadcasts: 0]
"???"
Looking at these data, the director was stunned.
He rubbed his eyes in disbelief and refreshed the page.
I found that after refreshing, the number of views increased a little, but the number of viewers dropped a little.
Everyone was dumbfounded.
"No, what's going on?!"
“Why is there only so little data?”
You know, this "Jianghu Fengyunlu" is an online drama with an investment of eight million!
More than one million yuan was spent on publicity and promotion alone.
It’s now airing and the number of views is only 5,000, and the number of viewers is only 1,000?
It can no longer be judged by whether it is good or not.
This is totally rotten.
"Are you damn sure you've done a good job of promoting it?!"
After coming to his senses, the director immediately found the assistant director and questioned him loudly.
The assistant director looked at the data on the computer with a confused look on his face: "What's going on?"
"Why are you asking me?"
The director cursed.
He admitted that the content of the play was cliché.
These are all martial arts routines that have been written to death.
And the actors' acting skills are generally average, not particularly amazing.
But its premiere performance shouldn’t be so bad.
Unless this assistant director did not do a good job of publicity and promotion, he was greedy!
The director looked at him, his sharp eyes seemed to see through him.
The assistant director was sweating profusely after being watched.
He wanted to say that he didn't do anything tampering and that the performance of the show was just that bad.
But when the words came to his lips, he didn't dare to say them.
Because this is seeking death!
Don’t underestimate the difference between assistant director and director.
But in fact, there is a huge gap between the two.
As long as the director wants, he, the assistant director, can be replaced at any time. Not to mention that he also questioned the director's ability.
If this matter gets out, probably no director will dare to use him anymore.
So he could only swallow his words and said with a forced smile: "Director, calm down, calm down, this is just the beginning, those audiences attracted by our publicity and promotion probably haven't come to watch yet, just wait a little longer, the data may go up soon, and don't forget, we still have Teacher Jiang as our big move!"
Hearing this, the director snorted and didn't say anything more.
I just refreshed the webpage data distractedly, trying to find an opportunity for a turnaround.
But the more he refreshed, the more desolate he felt.
Because he found that as time went by, the number of views and online viewers did increase.
But the retention rate is getting lower and lower!
At the beginning it was 5319 to 715.
Forty minutes later, the score became 73211 to 3180!
The key point is that after forty minutes, the first episode has ended, but the number of completed broadcasts has not increased at all!
The director was furious when watching it.
He thought this wouldn't work, so he opened the first episode of "Jianghu Fengyunlu", hoping to use his own strength to contribute some completion volume to the show.
But as soon as he opened it, the barrage of comments gave him a heavy blow.
"Warning: This drama contains a lot of melodramatic plots, awkward acting, and low-quality special effects. Please watch with caution."
"Are you annoying? I'm watching a video and you've been pushing it to me for three days straight. Don't I have to pay for my data traffic? Fuck you, give me my money back!"
"Shit shit shit shit shit, important things need to be said five times!"
"With such quality, they invested 8 million? I suggest a thorough investigation to see if it's money laundering."
"Watching "Jianghu Fengyunlu" is like enjoying a life of luxury. I am Mai Lin, and I am the spokesperson for "Jianghu Fengyunlu."
"Well, I was a little interested at first, but when you showed up, I instantly lost all interest in it."
"Great, we who watch martial arts movies now have our own cyber archives."
"."
Looking at these sarcastic comments.
With just one glance, the director felt his blood pressure soar, causing his body to tremble uncontrollably.
Found it, he finally found out why the retention rate was so low!
"Fuck!"
The director pounded the table, furious.
He stood up and wanted to say something, but before he could say anything, he suddenly felt a black screen in front of his eyes, and he fell to the ground uncontrollably.
"Boom!"
His head hit the ground with a dull thud.
Before he passed out, the director had only one thought in his mind.
"Groove's publicity!"
"What the hell did you do to make this show so unpopular among the public?"
Seeing this, the assistant director next to him was dumbfounded.
He did not dare to delay and quickly took out his phone, dialed 120, and sent the director to the hospital.
They didn't notice that shortly after they left, the number of completed broadcasts in the background data quietly increased by one.
At the same time, a roughly edited video was quietly released on the Internet.
"It exploded! It exploded!"
This was the first sentence the director heard after waking up.
The second sentence was a scolding: "Sir, please don't make loud noises in the ward!"
Hearing this, the director opened his eyes dazedly and saw himself lying in a hospital ward.
He focused his eyes and saw the assistant director holding a mobile phone next to the bed, his face flushed and extremely excited.
Next to him, a nurse stood with her hands on her hips, looking at him with an unfriendly expression.
"what happened?"
The director asked out of curiosity.
When the assistant director saw him wake up, he quickly came over with his phone and said excitedly, "Director, it's a hit! Our show is a hit!"
