Who are you calling powerful?.

Chapter 441 "Nirvana in Fire" is completed, and the Hua Luo popularity system is online
In the suburbs, Wei Yang and Liu Shi were wearing armor and riding horses, and the atmosphere was a bit separation and sadness.

"If you make a promise in this life, you will keep it in the next life."

After saying the last line, Wei Yang took a deep look at Liu Shishi, forced a smile on his face, and in an instant, his eyes became firm, and he turned around and rode away.

Liu Shishi stood on his horse, silently watching Wei Yang's figure getting further and further away with the advancing army, his figure bleak.

"Okay, perfect."

Director Zhang Yongxin stood up and shouted, which also heralded the official completion of "Nirvana in Fire" after several months of filming.

Wei Yang, who was feeling sad and guilty just now, took the horse for a ride and rode it happily for half a circle. He behaved neatly and vigorously. He didn't look like a frail and sick young man before. Many extras cheered with great support.

Today they were lucky enough to catch up with the crew to wrap up the last scene. Boss Wei waved his hand, and they were able to enjoy the wrapping party.

This is rare, because the wrap-up party is basically dominated by staff and cast members.

For example, extra performers are part-time workers, and they are paid daily. They only have lunch boxes, and the final banquet is not their turn.

However, Boss Wei is more particular. Except for the early days when he was poor and had to work hard, at other times when he was filming, whether it was for welfare or for gatherings such as the wedding banquet, he would have extras or other temporary workers.

"It's a success and the ratings will be huge."

Some staff members and leading actors gathered around Wei Yang to say good things, and Wei Yang took out the red envelopes he had prepared and handed them out at will.

This is a habit he developed during the "Celebrating More Than Years" trilogy.

Of course, leading actors don’t have to do this in general. Many times, the crew would send flowers or gifts when the lead actor finished filming, but Wei Yang couldn’t stand it because of his special status.

He is the big boss of the crew, and all the directors and producers are behind him, so when this happens, he can't just watch without saying anything.

The wedding banquet is a must-have item. I have had some champagne celebrations before, including parties, singing and bathing.

Later, I don’t know where it started, but there was another step of giving out red envelopes.

As long as he is the last to finalize and leave the crew, these red envelopes will always be indispensable when the crew bids farewell.

The money is not much, with a base of 200 yuan and a maximum of 1000 yuan. The small amount can be used as taxi fare, and the large amount can be treated as a bonus for leaving the group. The exact amount depends on luck, and it is mainly for getting lucky.

Everyone was happy to eat, drink, play and have fun, and even win a small red envelope for free.

Boss Wei is also happy. Usually some small benefits, a few tables of banquets and these red envelopes are only worth a few dollars.

But the good reputation he has accumulated is of great benefit to him personally and even to the entire Blue Whale family.

In Hengdian, who doesn't know that the Blue Whale crew has the best treatment, and the pay varies widely, but they also get good lunch boxes, and if they are lucky, they can get a small advantage.

So whenever the filming of The Blue Whale begins in Hengdian or some places with a lot of extras, there is a huge response.

The quality of the group performances is obviously a higher level than other crews, and it is relatively easier to direct.

Coupled with casual compliments and compliments online and offline, these are all about background and popularity. They may not seem to have much effect, but in fact they are a key to widening the gap between Blue Whale and other companies.

Aside from other things, ask the talented actors, the students who come here to perform, or even some staff members. In their minds, Blue Whale must be at the top of the list of domestic entertainment companies.

Not to mention the reputation of Boss Wei himself.In addition to lifestyle, most people give thumbs up.

"I won't come home until I get drunk at night."

After the red envelopes were distributed, some people were already preparing to leave for the hotel, while others were responsible for the final cleaning. The closing banquet would not start until the evening.

Wei Yang also came to the dressing room to remove his makeup and began to look forward to the banquet in the evening.

After being hungry for months, I can finally eat a big meal at night without any worries.

Liu Shishi took off her makeup slower than him, and Wei Yang came over to wait for her after finishing it, flipping through his phone in his hand.

What he is looking at now is the [Hua Luo Professional Edition] APP that has just been launched.

It records real-time data and historical databases about domestic movies, TV series, and variety shows, and is exclusively for viewing by industry insiders and media.

The fan circle is also very concerned. In the past, when comparing the ratings and box office of various idols, everyone had to find various data, and even compiled it personally, which was not necessarily accurate.

Now, the ranking data is all ready-made and can be seen clearly at a glance. You can defeat the opponent to death by just taking a screenshot.

What Wei Yang was looking at at this time was the performance of the PPTV project on the list.

The real-time list of Hualuo movies is calculated directly based on the box office. This is all real money. Ding is Ding, Mao is Mao, and it is meaningless to everyone.

The ratings of film and television stations also have unified standards. Even if they are fake, you have to pay special money to buy them. It is relatively objective and can be ranked directly according to the data.

But the calculation for online video websites is more complicated.

Because so far, the most direct way to calculate the performance of a drama on online platforms is the number of views.

But the most debatable thing here is that the ratings statistical standards of each website are different, and the data may be true or false.

For example, LeTV is famous for its love of trolling.

The playback volume of movies and TV series of the same level on their website is generally 20% to 50% higher than other websites, and may even be more.

This is unfair to some websites. It is possible that the dramas on other websites are more popular, but the ratings are inferior.

So after discussion, Hualuo launched a new evaluation standard, namely - [Hualuo Popularity], which can also be called [Whole Network Popularity].

This formula for calculating the popularity of Hua Luo not only measures the number of views of a drama on this site or even multiple sites, but also covers other factors such as website barrages, comments, and real-time replays.

In addition, Hualuo Heat also focuses on the entire Internet, including social network interaction heat, media heat, and other market performances.

Use multi-dimensional and comprehensive data dimensions to reflect the real performance of the film and television variety show.

It can be said that this data is the most comprehensive and scientific calculation formula at present, and it can directly distinguish the popularity of the entire network based on the numerical value.

This routine is actually not the first of its kind by Wei Yang and Hualuowang.

But after various video websites in later generations failed to play the evaluation criterion of playback volume, they began to use the popularity of this site as the criterion for performance evaluation.

However, each company's so-called popularity value has different evaluation criteria, so they cannot be lumped together and can only be compared between this site and this site.

Generally speaking, the most popular dramas on Youku and iQiyi must have at least 10000+ hits, while Penguin Video’s criterion is that the hit dramas must have at least 30000+ hits.

Before the three major websites launched this system, Wei Yang took the lead in letting Hua Luo lead the trend, and it was not without his own selfish motives.

For example, Douban ratings have become the reputation standard for film and television dramas. If the popularity of Hualuo can become the standard for the performance of online platforms, it will be of great help to Hualuo.

Now Hualuo has the upper hand. As long as it can maintain neutrality and judge fairly, and accumulate enough influence over time, and even form a specialized system, it will be difficult for other websites to change the status quo.And even if PPTV doesn't engage in any PY scandal with Hua Luo, it can still get a lot of benefits just as half of its own people.

At this stage, the popularity of snails is still under trial, and there are still many details that need to be adjusted slowly.

However, there is no problem with the general framework, and based on the current variety shows and film and television dramas, the popularity values ​​corresponding to the projects of each popularity level have been figured out.

For example, "The Story of Ancient Swords" became a big hit not long ago.

This drama is a well-deserved phenomenon. The peak popularity of Hualuo is 15623, which breaks the record of Hualuo.com, although this record is only for a few dramas.

Even now, this drama still has 9000+ real-time views, ranking first in the film and television charts.

There is also an average popularity. The calculation range is during the serial broadcast period of the show, which is about 12000+. However, this data may be greatly reduced in value as the broadcast method changes in the future.

Nowadays, dramas are basically linked to TV stations, with two episodes a day, which is easy to calculate. But in the future, there will be only a few episodes a week, the broadcast time is uncertain, and the number of episodes is different, which will greatly interfere with the calculation of average popularity.

But only calculating the highest peak value is a bit thin, so Hualuo.com introduced the concept of list ranking.

Every day, Hualuo.com lists the top [-] popularity rankings on the entire network. The TV series that ranks first in real-time popularity on that day will receive a [Sunday Crown] medal at the end of the day.

Therefore, whether a drama is popular or not depends on how many Japanese crowns it has won, or even how many Japanese crowns it has won in one go.

In addition to the Sun Crown, there are also the Weekly Crown, the Moon Crown and the Year Crown. The more badges you get, the more you prove your dominance in the TV series.

This kind of gameplay is bulletin board play. The routine is not new, but it is easy to use and intuitive. Experts and laymen can understand it at a glance, and it is easy to tear up.

The peak popularity of "Gu Jian Qi Tan" is 15000+, which is undoubtedly a phenomenal hit. Apart from this drama, there is no other film and television drama with more than 10000 hits in the same period.

On the other hand, "Running Man 2" has a current popularity of Hua Luo exceeding 10000, but its peak is not as good as "Gu Jian Qi Tan".

In other words, only if it exceeds 10000 can it be called a hit, and if it is about the same as "Gu Jian Qi Tan", can it be considered a phenomenon.

With more than 8000 views, it is considered a small hit, and it can also be said to be a hit drama.

With a popularity of over 6000, it is in the middle and upper reaches of the same period. It is not particularly popular, but it still has a certain influence.

With a popularity of less than 5000, it is basically not even in the top [-] of the real-time list. The popularity is not even as popular as the old dramas that have been aired for a month or two. It can be understood that there is no splash, and it can simply be understood as a street drama.

The calculations for variety shows are slightly different from those for film and television dramas, but they are not much different.

"Gu Jian Qi Tan" has a peak of 15000+ and a real-time rating of 9000+. It has continuously won forty daily crowns, five weekly crowns, and monthly crowns, and is a strong contender for the annual crown.

Prior to this, although the performance of "Qing Yu Nian 3" is not bad.

But at that time, the Hualuo Professional Edition APP had not yet been launched, and the real-time data could not be collected, which was definitely not objective.

So I simply gave up and calculated this year’s data starting from June when the APP was launched. “Gu Jian Qi Tan” was also very lucky to have one less enemy and took the lead.

"Running Man 2" has 10000+ hits and is currently No. [-] on the variety show list.

However, "Run 2" will soon face its rival, and the third season of "The Voice of China" is about to be launched.

There is also the second season of "I Am a Singer", as well as the travel reality show "Flowers and Boys" and a competitive game variety show "Extreme Pursuit".

The next three programs are all from Hunan TV, one is a music program, one is an observation reality show, and the other is an outdoor game based on "Run".

It can be seen that Hunan TV, which has realized that it cannot withstand Blue Whale's summer film and television offensive in the summer, has changed its approach and is preparing to make efforts in variety shows.

Yes, some departments in Hunan Province and Taiwan are now trying to compete with Wei Yang.

As mentioned before, although the two parties still maintain a certain cooperative relationship, as Blue Whale enters the field of variety shows and cooperates with Magic City TV.

From being simply Party A to Party B, the competitive relationship between the two companies began to change, and with Wei Yang taking over PPTV, this competition became more intense.

Different from the big data + money-spreading strategy of other video websites, Hunan TV's Mango TV is self-produced and sold. This approach is very similar to PPTV after Wei Yang took over.

Currently, they are the only two companies that can produce top variety shows and have their own platforms.

This indicates that within a short period of time, at the variety show level, PPTV and Hunan TV/Mango TV will be the biggest rivals.

Wei Yang knew this very well. After taking possession of PPTV, his relationship with many of his partners became ambiguous and even hostile, and there was no shortage of mangos.

He didn't pay much attention to the so-called encirclement and suppression of Taiwan in Hunan Province.

If "Run" was so useless, it wouldn't have been on the air for ten years, not to mention that television ratings competition and online platform competition are two different things.

If the TV station is on time, you may only be able to watch one variety show, and it will be inconvenient to watch reruns later.

The online platform is free, and as long as you have enough time and energy, watching four variety shows together is not a problem.

Under such circumstances, unless those who come are all top variety shows, the so-called encirclement and suppression is a joke.

Four variety shows are put together. If you choose one of them, more than 50% of them will choose "Run". If you choose two, the chance of "Running" can increase to 90%.

Compared with the onslaught of Hunan TV, Wei Yang pays more attention to several online dramas.

"Soul Ferry 3" has a popularity of 9400+, ranking third in the same period.

This result is not unexpected. After all, the popularity of the first two series is here, and it was once hailed as the number one online drama.

If there weren't many plot highlights this season, and "Gu Jian Qi Tan" stole the limelight, it wouldn't be impossible for it to hit 10000 hits.

"Dark One" is 8500+, which is a small hit. It's a little lower than Wei Yang expected, but it's acceptable.

It is worth mentioning that dramas like "Soul Ferry" and "The Dark One" have great stamina and are worth watching over and over again, creating a long tail effect.

This is also a very critical point. Even if the short-term popularity is not particularly high, if the front can be extended, the influence will be stronger than dramas of the same level.

As for the other web dramas, their performance is not bad either.

Among them is "Folk Strange Chronicles". Although it is not particularly popular, it has very good word-of-mouth ratings and has great stamina. If a second season is produced, the results are likely to improve.

This situation is very good. The web drama that I had high hopes for has met the predetermined requirements, and the lower limit for other idle games is also not low.

You know, there are only a few hit dramas throughout the year, and they may not be available every month. There may only be a dozen or even less hits.

Most of the dramas have a certain influence, but the results are not particularly outstanding. They show up for a short period of time and then disappear from the public.

Therefore, Wei Yang is quite satisfied, which shows that the online drama market still has a foundation. With further cultivation, it will become a key area of ​​PPTV...
