Li Ruotong was very angry.
She kindly reminded Yue Guan, but the guy actually mocked her deliberately.
Dog things, good intentions are treated as donkey liver and lungs.
The next day.
Li Ruotong became even more angry.
Because the first-day data for "Edge of the City" is out.
It opened the eyes of countless people.
With a total number of subscriptions of 1.2 million+ and a total number of subscribers of 80,000+, all costs were recovered on the first day through subscription revenue.
Five Star Video gained tens of thousands of paid members in one day, and it continues to grow.
Many viewers are not short of money, and fans are not short of money either.
And a large part of the fans that Yue Guan has now are the kind of true fans who can spend crazy money on their idols.
At the moment, no one is more worthy of the word traffic than Yue Guan.
So even if "Edge of the City" is of average quality, it's actually unlikely to hit the streets.
Not to mention, the quality of "Edge of the City" is really excellent. The score of 9.7 is definitely too high, but there is definitely nothing wrong with it above 9.
Even if you don't like a domestic drama of this level, it can only be said that it is not your type. It does not mean that the quality of the drama is not good enough.
Li Ruotong couldn't believe it after seeing this data.
"It shouldn't be. A niche subject like "Edge of the City" can actually have this data. Have you subscribed?"
Yue Guan glanced at Li Ruotong and shook his head: "Sister Ruotong, why are you like some readers on the Five Star Chinese website?"
"What's the meaning?"
"I recently read novels on the Five-Star Chinese website and found that many readers have a problem. Anything they don't like must not be successful. Anything that doesn't fit their ideas is unreasonable. It's exactly the same as yours. Your family opened it on Earth. Huh? Just hanging around you guys?"
Li Ruotong: "..."
"We are all adults. Be more mature. No one is the center of the world. The world is too lazy to care about us. If a work wants to make money, it has nothing to do with the public and niche. It just needs to target the audience. And the more niche the subject matter, the more it pays. The higher the rate, this is common sense. Besides, with my current fame, popularity, reputation, and such a large publicity campaign, there are currently only 80,000 paid subscriptions. Is this number an exaggeration?"
Mo Xiangwan nodded: "Yue Guan is right. 80,000 paying members is not a particularly good result. In fact, the first-day subscription revenue of "Edge of the City" only exceeded one million, and Five Star Video and our The investment in publicity and promotion resources would have exceeded one million if converted into expenses, and the cost has not been recovered yet. If it were replaced by "Chuang Ming", the subscription number would have doubled at least five times. From this perspective, "Edge of the City" The subject matter is indeed niche and has limited potential.”
"But if it develops like this, "Edge of the City" will definitely make a lot of money. This is the first day." Li Ruotong simply did some calculations and realized that selling the show like this might actually make more money than selling it at a high price. many.
"Sister Ruotong, as long as I become popular, there will be no possibility of losing money on this show from the beginning. It will just be a matter of making more or less."
Yue Guan actually didn't expect "Edge of the City" to make a lot of money.
If the profit is doubled more than ten times, I will be satisfied.
The greatest significance of "Edge of the City" is to prove to the outside world that Five Star Video's business model can be a win-win situation for investors and producers. In the future, after the film and television projects are approved, in addition to considering cooperation with TV stations, they can also consider cooperation with Five Star Video.
With a successful example, the road ahead will be much easier.
"Actually, I could have earned more, Yue Guan, why are you opposed to the tipping function? With your current popularity, if the tipping function is enabled, the tipping income will probably exceed the subscription income." Mo Xiangwan felt a little regretful.
When it was originally decided that "Edge of the City" would require payment to watch on Five-Star Video, Li Fuzhen proposed that a reward function could be set up to attract fans and viewers who are truly wealthy and like the show to contribute more income to the show.
Yue Guan refused.
"In the future, other film and television drama projects can activate the tipping function, but mine will be forgotten, at least for now."
"Why?"
"Many of my current fan base are minors or students. The subscription fee is nothing, just to cultivate their awareness of authenticity. But asking them to reward is equivalent to encouraging them to ask for money from their families. This behavior is not good. I don’t lack this little money.”
Yueguan does not reject this business model. For the platform, making money is always the first priority.
But he let it go.
"Celebrities have too much influence, so they still need to have some sense of social responsibility. At least I still want it. I will wait until I am no longer popular or my fan base has stabilized before we talk about this."
He hasn't been pushed to that point yet, and there's no need to make all the money.
…
The reputation of "Edge of the City" is as Yue Guan expected, with overwhelming praise. Of course, with so many people watching, it is impossible to get a high score of 9.7, but the score is not too low. It is currently maintained at around 9.4, which is This year's highest-rated TV series surpasses "The Best in the World" and "Chuang Ming".
Coupled with the popularity of Yue Guan and the vigorous promotion of Five Star Company, the number of subscribers to "Edge of the City" has been rising steadily. Naturally, the money earned is far less than that of "Chuang Ming", but the profit has also exceeded 10 million.
The industry was shocked.
Many people have begun to take the new model of five-star video seriously and wonder whether they have a chance to get a piece of the pie.
This is the effect Yue Guan and Five Star Video want.
Compared with five-star videos, Yue Guan has accumulated more aura.
In the eyes of most people, no matter how good the quality of "Edge of the City" is, a group of unknown directors and creators would not be able to achieve their current results without the support of Yue Guan's popularity.
Facts have proved that Yue Guan not only carries the ratings, but also makes the audience spend money to watch him.
The latter is already the film industry's requirement for movie stars.
Therefore, many resources in the film industry have extended an olive branch to Yue Guan.
There are many major productions by famous directors.
Mo Xiangwan became excited.
"Yue Guan, a good news or a better news, which one do you want to hear first?"
"Better."
"There is a big-budget movie for you, starring Andy Lau, but the role for you is that of the villain, the second male lead, and the role is very important."
No matter how popular Yue Guan is, there is no way he can be ranked ahead of Andy Lau. Being able to receive the role of the villain as a newcomer in the film industry is indeed considered to be very important to Yue Guan.
Yue Guan nodded slightly: "What type?"
"It is a commercial action blockbuster of the treasure hunt type, a 3D movie created with Hollywood's elite production team, and it is also the 150th movie starring Andy Lau. It is packed with stars and will definitely not be too bad at the box office."
Yue Guan's expression became a little subtle: "A treasure-hunting commercial action blockbuster? The 150th movie starring Andy Lau? Have you sent the script?"
"Not yet. The producer wants you to audition first and go through the motions."
"What's the name of this play?"
""Sky secret · Fu Chun mountain picture"!"
Yueguan: "╮(╯▽╰)╭"
