It is agreed that the 18th line will be top-notch?

Chapter 207 "Dream Linkage"

Yang Ruoqian looked at this video, which had more than a million views and a high number of comments, and felt vaguely that something was beyond his control.

How could the audience have any expectations for this new movie that is so popular, fakes, and maliciously slanders the original film?
Could it be that the directing team changed the plot?
The new quarter has already started off badly. Why are bad news coming one after another now? !

Don't be in a hurry...the movie hasn't been released yet, and there are still many opportunities to make amends. Let's take a look at this movie review and the promotional video released by Chengyu before making a decision.

Yang Ruoqian clicked on the video without fast forwarding at all, and carefully watched the entire movie review video.

"Hello everyone, my name is Xiao Liu!"

"I saw a promotional video for a new movie online a few days ago. I wonder if you guys have noticed it?"

"The name of the movie is not surprising, it's called "Black Robe Inspection Team"... Hey, don't rush to click on the video when you hear this, because the producer of this movie is your old acquaintance, the combination Kuo Guang + Cheng Yu. "

"The name doesn't seem to be very famous, right? But if I said that the drama "The Dragon Son Who Protects the Country" was also produced by them, wouldn't everyone be interested all of a sudden?"

"If you haven't watched that program, you can search for it in my previous videos. I guarantee that after you watch it, you will be interested in the next content."

At this point, Xiao Liu's tactics in the video paused, and the screen immediately switched to the content of the promotional video for "Black Robe Inspection Team".

What came into view was a man wearing a superhero uniform with a sunny smile, speaking in a gentle tone to a young man who was blindfolded.

Soon, a lot of question marks appeared on the barrage.

"What is this? At first glance, I thought it was Superman?"

"It is definitely the super image of Mo Gai!"

"Suddenly I'm curious about what kind of work Kui Guang and Cheng Yu are going to do this time..."

Xiao Liu’s voice then appeared:
"So far, the plot is very normal. The character you are seeing now is called 'Patriot Man'. We have analyzed this plot and it should be that there is one more superhero in the team headed by 'Patriot Man'. Members join.”

"This new team member is a fan of 'Motherland Warriors' and has excellent hearing. When he saw his idol walking over during training, he excitedly walked up to say hello."

"Well, you can taste the rest of it yourself."

After saying this, the content of the promotional video continued to play.

In the video, the blindfolded young man's face was full of joy, and his voice was choked: "Patriot hero, wow, you...you..."

"I'm so honored to meet you..."

The hero of the motherland smiled with admiration on his face: "Can you tell it's me? Wow, that's really admirable!"

The whole communication environment was pleasant and harmonious, the heroes of the country were humble and humorous, and everyone had relaxed smiles on their faces.

This is a superhero, who is humorous, powerful, and has a good personality. He seems to have gathered all the advantages in the world without even a single flaw.

As if because he was recognized by his idol, the masked young man showed a little pride on his face: "When I have clairvoyance, I no longer need clairvoyance!"

The Patriot Knight nodded and said very seriously: "And you, my friend, you are the real hero."

"Thank you...your appreciation means a lot to me!"

A senior helps the junior, and a united superhero team is about to be formed.Most of the viewers who read the movie reviews with gusto couldn't help but fantasize about the plot behind it.

It is estimated that a big villain will appear soon, and then this superhero team will pass many tests, go through hardships and obstacles, and then defeat the villain?

Snapped!
"what!!!"

The sound of flesh being crushed and the scream coming from the soul almost penetrated the screen and poured into the ears of all the viewers.

Seeing the blood all over the ground and the blindfolded young man rolling and struggling on the ground, the Patriot Hero who had just been full of charity showed an extremely ferocious smile on his face.

"This is what you get for holding a cup in front of me."

Before the audience in front of the screen could recover from the huge contrast, the Patriot turned his face to the camera.

The expression on his face was still kind, but his tone was extremely gloomy and vicious: "I am a hero of the motherland. I can do whatever I want."

The screen then freezes.

After this clip was played, barrages that paused for a moment came flooding in.

"What the hell?! Did I just see something wrong?!"

"I went back and read it again to make sure I saw nothing wrong."

"This is so touching!"

"Just now I thought it was another cheesy story about a super decent defeating a super villain, so I almost quit."

"The moment the hero of the motherland smiled, I got goosebumps..."

"Suddenly I can't wait. Whenever this movie is released, I will definitely support it."

"The product produced by Kuang Guang Chengyu must be a high-quality product!"

"..."

As the title of the video says, almost all the audience's expectations have been raised to the highest point in this promotional video!

Yang Ruoqian stared blankly at the barrage after barrage on the screen, looking at the various contents released later in the promotional video, including the various things the heroine played by Shang Qianyu encountered when she joined the superhero group of seven. Dirty and dirty things.

But for these prototype superheroes who have been modified and smeared in various ways, there is not even a single barrage popping up to curse people!

This, this is not right?

When doing research before, most of the people surveyed clearly expressed their hatred for the popularity and their disdain for smearing the prototype image.

In order to ensure that there were enough samples, Yang Ruoqian conducted three more surveys after the first survey, involving as many as 2000 people.

Almost everyone expressed their displeasure with the behavior of flattering and discrediting the prototype.

Occasionally, a few mavericks only stand from a neutral perspective.

There is almost no support for this behavior.

"No, it's you who say you don't like watching, and you're the one who brags the most?" Yang Ruoqian looked through the comments, his eyes widened, and said in disbelief, "Isn't this bullying an honest person?"

In the comment area, some people have even speculated on the box office of "Black Robe Inspection Team"!
A large number of them believe that if the content of the actual film is consistent with the content of the promotional film, this film has the potential to hit the annual box office champion.

Annual box office champion...

Seeing these six words, Mr. Yang's mind was buzzing.

I just hate this kind of behavior, so when the finished film comes out, I immediately turn my back on him and book the box office champion overnight?

Yang Ruoqian, who had received huge praise before the movie was released, suddenly remembered an old saying who didn't know who said it.

Often times, audiences don’t know what they like.

"It's okay, the movie hasn't been released yet." After confirming that the tone of the entire movie was in accordance with his requirements, Yang Ruoqian breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, "There is still a chance to make amends."

Moreover, from a metaphysical point of view...most of those who pop the champagne at halftime will not end well.

Now that so many people are opening champagne to "Black Robe" at halftime, maybe its reputation will collapse once it's released?
And this Xiao Liu...

It's him too in "The Dragon Son Who Protects the Country", and it's also him in the new movie.

Are you deliberately trying to make things difficult for me, Kuaiguang Group?

Yang Ruoqian vaguely felt that he had another old enemy - first it was Shao Yiqi, then Chengyu Group, and now this Xiao Liu...

No!

The first two alone are already difficult to deal with, and they are adding to the trouble all the time. If one more person is added, will the money be lost?

This child is so terrifying that he must not be allowed to stay. This future obstacle must be nipped in the bud.

Yang Ruoqian quit the film review video and clicked on Xiao Liu's homepage.

As expected, he found Xiao Liu's business contact information from his profile.

An evil plan suddenly appeared in Yang Ruoqian's mind.

The next day, after returning to the office, Yang Ruoqian called Chang Zhiqing over and asked her to investigate Xiao Liu and get as much detailed information as possible.

If you want to defeat someone, you must know yourself and the enemy.

Soon, a piece of information was placed on Yang Ruoqian's desk.

……

Somewhere, in a rental house.

The smell of instant noodle seasoning packets spreads throughout the small and medium-sized room.

"Lao Liu, this video has been released, and the number of likes and coins are pretty good." Suddenly, someone said excitedly.

Originally, several people in the studio were still racking their brains to find various new dramas and movies on the market to catch up with the popularity.

But I accidentally saw the promotional video of "Black Robe Inspection Team".

Liu Bi actually didn't pay much attention to this movie at first, not because of any prejudice, but because this movie is still in the promotional stage. At most, he only looks at the theme and highlights. It is difficult to put together a whole movie review video. of duration.

But when I saw the producer of this movie, I found out that it was the combination of Kuang Guang + Cheng Yu who last produced "The Dragon Son Who Protects the Country".

With low cost, high playback and high discussion, it has dominated the hot searches for a long time.

Not only did it directly make a previously unknown actor famous, it also led to a wave of copyright interest.

Will the whole life come out again this time?

By some strange coincidence, they clicked on this movie promotional video.

As a film critic who always has to be at the forefront of the limelight in order to earn a living, Liu Bi naturally has to have the mentality of preferring to kill the wrong one.

Sure enough, when they saw the content, they immediately felt that this movie had the potential to become a hit. They rushed out the video overnight and got the first wave of traffic.

"Oh, this Kuang Guang and Cheng Yu are really not simple." Liu Bi sighed while eating instant noodles, "The crew is so creative, how could they think of making a movie with this theme?"

Even if a good movie is not given any publicity fees, there will still be countless film critics competing for traffic to comment on it and catch up with the popularity.

And for a movie that is extremely bad, even if they are given advertising money, many film review bloggers will not dare to take the bad money, fearing that their reputation will be completely ruined.

Obviously, Kuaiguang Group is the former.

"Brother Liu, our video income has been cut again recently. We feel like we are going to be in trouble this month." A voice suddenly came from beside him, interrupting Liu Bi's thoughts.Hearing this complaint, Liu Bi paused with his chopsticks while eating instant noodles.

Similar to sites like Bilibili, the income of a video can only be determined by official algorithms, such as the number of views, the number of likes, the number of coin collections, etc.

A few users will pay to tip, but those incomes are basically negligible.

Therefore, once the income algorithm changes, it will be a devastating blow to all such up owners.

If there are advertisements for good meals coming to your door, or ads inserted in the video, everyone will be able to improve their food this month, otherwise, they will eat rubbish.

Unfortunately this month, no advertisers came to our door.

In a studio where eating instant noodles every day causes work-related injuries, there are faint signs of instability.

Take a look at "The Dragon Son Who Protects the Country" that was filmed by others. The craze it set off on the Internet has not completely subsided until now.

I don’t know how many novels of the same type have become popular, but the copyright fees are lenient.

Every time Liu Bi sees those piles of advertisements, those zeros with no end in sight, he tosses and turns in envy.

I guess the Kuaiguang Group has made so much money from this web drama that their hands are weak.

I really envy their boss...

Liu Bi said while eating instant noodles: "It's okay. I took a look at the new algorithm. It's just that the video can't just be played, it must also have a corresponding like rate."

"In the future, we can just add a short clip to the video asking for likes and coins."

"Actually, it's not that many viewers are unwilling to give free likes, it's just that they don't have the awareness. As long as you remind them, the likes will come immediately."

After eating instant noodles, Liu Bi clicked on the backend of his account and began to clean up various messages in the backend.

Most of these messages were meaningless jokes from fans, and he would pick out a sentence or two to respond.

The rest are old fans who recommend movies and TV series.

If there is a miracle, you can occasionally find business orders for cooperation from these private messages.

Suddenly, he saw a very unusual message in the private message.

"Hello, Xiao Liu said about the movie. I am a netizen from the south. I am very interested in your videos. I would like to discuss some business cooperation matters with you. Could you please add your WeChat account?"

This news is too harsh...

Liu Bi read the news carefully, ignored the weird words, and focused on the words "business cooperation."

coming!

finally come!

It’s been so hard for me to wait for you for the Qiafan project!
Now the entire studio is in a state of crying for food, begging dad and grandma to come and accept an advertisement.

Liu Bi did not dare to neglect the sponsor, and immediately sent his WeChat ID as quickly as possible, lest the other party would not see the reply for a long time and find other similar up owners.

Soon, their own WeChat account was added there.

It is an avatar with blue sky, white clouds and red flowers. Looking at the opposite side, you can see that there are some old elites of quite a young age.

My name is Yang Bujiao...

Liu Bi did not dare to neglect and typed: "Hello, Mr. Yang, nice to meet you!"

I wonder how much advertising fee I can get from Qiafan this time?
1000? 500?

After all, it is a buyer's market. There are a lot of up bloggers with hundreds of thousands of fans, but the demand for advertising is far less.

This kind of advertisement inserted in the middle of the video will be skipped by the vast majority of viewers. Even viewers who do not skip it may not click on the link below the video to shop.

If you spend hundreds or even thousands of dollars on advertising in a video, it’s not bad to earn a tenth of the money back.

Liu Bi did not dare to quote too high a price for fear of directly scaring away this hard-won customer.

Or... just 800?

"Mr. Liu, we would like to ask you to help customize a video and give you 2000 yuan per video. Is this acceptable?"

Liu Big just wanted to finish the noodle soup, but after seeing the other party's price, his eyes widened a lot.

Where does this big consortium come from?Just two thousand?
It's not like he has never met a financial sponsor who quoted two thousand in the past, but they have very strict requirements on the content, duration and location of the video, which is very difficult to maintain.

Now this kind of big order is here again, you absolutely can’t miss it!

Liu Bi immediately cheered up and said, "Yes, if you want to advertise, just send me the content. If you have any requirements on the length and location of the advertisement, just ask."

Yang Ruoqian, whose pseudonym is Yang Bujiao, replied: "It's not an advertisement, I want you to make a video and send it out using your account, is that okay?"

Liu Bi was stunned and replied: "I am a film reviewer. Do you have any film review needs here?"

"Yes."

"Then... maybe you have to let me see first which movie and TV series you want me to explain."

When sending this message, Liu Bi sighed deeply.

It’s not easy to make money.

When the other party proposed to customize the video, Liu Bi vaguely guessed the identity of the sponsor's father.

It must be someone from a publishing company.

Either they want to promote a certain movie, or they want to restore the reputation of a certain trash movie.

In layman's terms, it means hiring a navy.

It's just spending a lot of money to hire these big-name sailors.

Unfortunately, this kind of money is not the same as accepting advertisements. If he insists on promoting a movie and TV series with a very poor reputation, the consequence is likely to be that his account, which has managed to build a reputation, will be ruined and a large number of fans will be lost.

This kind of behavior is not "just a meal", but "just a waste of money".

Will be spurned.

You can't just buy your own job just for a full meal.

That's why Liu Bicai asked that he first know which film and television drama he wanted to narrate. If the reputation of this film and television drama is really bad, then no matter what the deal is, he can't accept it.

The message sent by Yang Ruoqian was very brief: "Our movie has not been released yet and is currently in the promotion stage."

That's good……

Liu Bi breathed a sigh of relief and felt that he could eat the money himself.

The risk of praising a movie that is in the promotion stage is actually not too big - you only need to add a sentence at the end of the video such as "It looks like this from the current promotional video, but how it will perform will not be known until the movie is officially released." With this disclaimer, a lot of trouble can be avoided.

"Okay, please send me the promotional video. If it's convenient, you can also send a few more exclusive shots so that I can better promote it for you."

Yang Ruoqian sent a message: "No, you misunderstood. It is an objective and fair evaluation. A movie called "Black Robe Inspection Team", you posted a review of the promotional video of this movie not long ago."

Objective and fair evaluation...

That’s smearing!

It turns out that they are competitors of Kui Guang and Cheng Yu.

Liu Bi thought for a while: "But, I just posted a video yesterday, about this movie. Isn't it bad to suddenly post a video with completely opposite content now?"

His video content is divided into two sections, one is recommendation of good movies, and the other is complaints about bad movies.

Yesterday, the video praising "Black Robe Inspection Team" was placed in the good movie recommendation section.

If you accept the business order from the sponsor's father, the next video will be the same "Black Robe Inspection Team", but it will appear in the bad movie complaint column... It always feels a bit weird.

What Yang Ruoqian wanted was the strong effect of Tiefen's jump reflex, so he immediately replied: "It doesn't matter, just send it out."

"Okay, do you have any requirements for the content of the video? Or can I just let me express myself?"

In competitions like this between rival companies, there is often some dirty information in hand.When attacking a movie, they often not only attack the content of the movie itself, but also attack the actors and production companies.

It's half-truth, half-false, and catchy, but the effect is surprisingly good.

Yang Ruoqian thought of his questionnaire and replied: "In your criticism, add something like 'disrespecting the original work', 'taking advantage of the popularity', etc., and feel free to use the rest."

What kind of people are the most aggressive these days?
Diehard powder, also known as crystal powder.

Once they come into contact with the works or characters that these people like, they will be like being touched against the scales. They will put aside the facts and do their best to protect those works or characters.

What Yang Ruoqian has to do is to lure out these humanoids and make these highly aggressive Internet trolls the vanguard of criticizing "Black Robe Inspection Team".

In any case, let’s improve the reputation of the movie first.

Liu Bi carefully wrote down the request of the sponsor's father in a small book, and then asked: "Okay, if you have any other requests, please contact me at any time. If there is no reply on WeChat, you can call me, 132xxxxxxxx .”

After this message, the other party sent a transfer message of 2000 yuan, and then there was no reply.

Liu Bi happily accepted the money and handed the bonus to several other people in the studio. Then he clapped his hands and said with a smile: "I worked overtime tonight and I feel comfortable serving the big benefactor. I have already paid you your request." Come and have some snacks."

After saying that, he put down his phone and continued to clean up the information in the background of the Bilibili account.

Just after clearing two meaningless private messages, Liu Bi was stunned again.

"Why does another one want to do business with us? Did I get lucky today?"

Liu Bi clicked on the message suspiciously, and it clearly read:

"Hello Xiao Liu, I am Zheng Weixiong, the operations manager of the Rifu Group. Is it convenient for you to discuss a business cooperation with us?"

Japan...

never heard of that.

Liu Bi still didn't dare to neglect and said quickly: "It's convenient. If you have any requests, just ask."

Zheng Weineng, whose pseudonym is Zheng Weixiong, sent a vicious message: "Help me try to discredit the movie called "Black Robe Inspection Team" as much as possible, can you?"
