…
two million.
five million.
Ten million.
The special guest panel of the 30th Sundance Film Festival Renly Sessions, after the live link was released on YouTube, the number of online viewers easily exceeded 10 million in less than 15 minutes. Shi Renly hasn't even officially debuted yet.
Fortunately, the audience didn't wait too long. In less than five minutes, Renly appeared on the stage, announcing the official start of the symposium, which also caused the number of online viewers of the tubing live broadcast to show a blowout. , and even caused the live broadcast line of the tubing to experience lag and lag.
Even the YouTube officials are in a hurry. Now the live broadcast platform is still in the early stage of testing, and the relevant situation is still unstable. All of a sudden, it was under such huge pressure, which also forced YouTube to immediately invest in manpower to solve the problem, which also made people see the huge potential of live broadcast.
Fifteen million.
Twenty million.
Twenty-five million.
thirty million.
When the number of online viewers exceeded 50 million, it has caused a sensation in the entire social network. Major news reporters and industry insiders have exclaimed "unbelievable" on their Twitter or Facebook, triggering a seismic shock. A knock-on effect, even those passers-by couldn't help but open the tubing.
The characteristics of the Internet era have been further pushed to the extreme after the birth of smart phones. Unlike TV or movies, they need a fixed carrier for dissemination, and mobile phones can carry the online world with you, which makes viewing and browsing anytime, anywhere. If possible, the audience successfully broke the shackles of time and space, expanded the audience base countless times, and completely changed the traditional order of information dissemination and entertainment.
In particular, the "quick swipe" browsing method allows viewers to have more choices. They only need to swipe left and right, and it only takes three seconds to make a choice in the huge sea of information. The unequal transmission of information is gradually reversed. position, the audience begins to have more choice initiative.
Fast food culture has also become more and more "fast", and the speed of replacement has increased hundreds or even thousands of times.
Of course, the viewing figures of online platforms have completely changed the rules of traditional viewing statistics. On YouTube, the number of clicks and views of a video is calculated in billions; on the photo wall, the number of likes for a photo is calculated in 100 million. Tens of millions; on Twitter, the number of retweets of a message is in millions.
These data are already established facts that exist objectively.
But today, YouTube live broadcast has once again subverted the traditional concept of viewership numbers.
At the moment in 2014, just when the Golden Globes, Oscars, Grammys and other top awards ceremonies are struggling with the overall decline in the number of TV show viewers, just when the number of viewers of the Oscars has dropped from 40 million to 3,000. When 10,000 or even lower, the YouTube live broadcast directly exploded with 50 million online viewers!
50 million viewers, what does it mean
Simply put, you can know it by taking Oscar as a reference standard.
Oscar is the TV program with the annual ratings and audience numbers second only to the Super Bowl in the entire North American market. , the 50 million threshold has only been breached twice in history:
Once was the first time in 1983 to broadcast the Oscars, "Gandhi's Biography" topped the Best Picture throne, with 53 million viewers; the other was "Titanic" in 1998. The Best Picture event, with 57 million viewers that year, is still an unsurpassed historical record.
In addition, you can compare the ratings of this year's Golden Globe Awards. The co-host of Tina Fey and Amy Poehler is known as the best of the decade, with 19.3 million viewers, which is higher than last year. With a 30% surge, the Hollywood Foreign Press Association announced immediately that they would do their best to invite the two hosts to stay on.
Now, less than a week before the Golden Globe Awards ceremony, a symposium at Sundance broke out such sturdy viewership energy. Even if this is a miracle created on the Internet platform, the shock Still unabated, all people involved in the film industry have expressed their amazement and consternation.
It's okay to even describe it as fright.
All over the net! This is definitely a real online crowd!
In fact, the online viewers watching online are very unstable, and they come and go very frequently. Some people just come to join in the fun, while some people can't fully devote themselves to it. After staying for a while, they finally chose to quit the live broadcast. This also makes the number of viewers fluctuate all the time.
But overall, the numbers are still rising slowly and continuously: after breaking through 50 million, is it still rising
People don't know how to express their opinions anymore. Are they amazed by the infinite possibilities of webcasting, or are they amazed that Renly's powerful appeal still cannot see the upper limit
In any case, this symposium set off a storm on the Internet!
William: Smooth, smooth.
William: What did the young master just say? Can't look back? The question just now has not been answered yet.
Graham: Right, detachment, the topic of detachment hasn't been said yet.
"Transcendence, detachment", there was also a call to the symposium, reminding Renly that there was no positive answer to the topic of "detachment".
Renly couldn't help laughing, "You guys still remember. I'm a little surprised. I always thought that the movie 'Transcendence' should have the smallest number of viewers." After a pause, "What is the question just now? After asking the question, Renly nodded with a chuckle, remembering the question, "A 'detached' performance."
"As I just said, Tony Kaye is a different director, which makes the 'detached' performance different." Renly returned to the topic, "that performance experience and other works have The difference, I still remember the scene where we first met Erica on the bus, we shot it over and over seventy times, just to capture an emotional level change.”
The whole scene broke out with the sound of gasping for breath.
Renly also chuckled, "Yes, Tony and I are torturing each other, over and over and over and over and over and over and over with the details of those performances. It deviates from the original theme for a while, just for the sake of details. It was a very painful experience, and neither of us wanted to go through it again.”
"But this performance was incredibly special. We really showed Henry's mood changes that night. Looking back at that performance now, it's still one of the most delicate and difficult performances. I can't say I liked it. That experience, believe me, the torture was really terrifying..." Renly's words were interrupted a little by the laughter at the scene, and he chuckled lightly, "but the reward of that experience was Huge, and I could also feel the subtle difference in emotional grasp when I played Jean Valjean in the West End."
"So, the point of view of the audience just now is correct, 'detachment' does leave more room for aftertaste at the emotional level, it allows the audience to make their own interpretation and analysis, especially compared to 'gravity' .But what we can't ignore is that at the level of play, the positioning and goals of the two works are different, of course, this is another story."
"Eternal God Emperor"
Noticing the pause in Renly's words, another audience member began to raise their hands, and the next audience member asked a question that everyone was particularly curious about, "In the past year, you have appeared in two works, and these two The performances of the works are all well received. My question is, which work do you like more personally, technically?"
Stripped of personal preferences and simply discussing acting skills, which work is better between "Gravity" and "Drunken Country Ballads"
"I refuse to answer this question." Renly said neatly, stunned the audience and online netizens. "This is obviously a trap question. You are more cunning than those reporters."
Such a frank and blunt "accusation" instantly made everyone laugh, and there was a collective swipe on the Internet, all of whom praised Renly's response.
"Is this coquettish? Haha!"
"Young master is playing a rogue, and the audience is stunned."
"Openly refused to answer questions, I can imagine the reporters swearing in their hearts."
"What should I do, I suddenly want to know the answer."
"Sure enough, the active young master looks good!"
"Like, like! Answer wit!"
"I'm going crazy to call the young master!"
From YouTube to Twitter, the comprehensive swiping attitude has once again pushed the popularity of the symposium to a new height. Renly, who has always been mysterious and low-key, has almost no chance to show his private side except for press conferences and talk shows. It also creates a sense of distance between Renly and the audience.
But today, through the live broadcast, the majority of netizens can see the unique side of Renly, which immediately made the entire network boil.
"Such a difficult question, no matter what the answer is, I will obviously suffer." Renly continued, "Well, since I have said it for so long, and today is a symposium, communication is the core purpose. So now it's up to you to express your opinions, let's have a brainstorm, how about it? Anyone willing to express some opinions on the question just now?"
All of a sudden, Renly went from being the presenter to being the presenter, and the style of painting seemed a little out of place.
