You promised to make a bad movie, but your box office exceeded 10 billion?

Chapter 16 Su You, you are such a genius
"Everyone has worked hard these days!"

"Uncles and aunties have worked hard too!"

At the dinner table, Li Mingyue looked at the crew of "Once Upon a Time in the Square" with a smile, and then handed over the red envelopes one by one with a smile.

"The remuneration has already been paid, we can't ask for this."

Aunt Cao and Aunt Goose both waved their hands and refused. Looking at the bulging red envelopes, they must have a lot of money in them, so they couldn't take it anymore.

"This is a rule in the film and television industry. After every drama is filmed, red envelopes are given to the actors and crew. Aunts can't refuse to get a chance to win."

Li Mingyue looked like this is what our industry is like, which made Aunt Cao and others doubt themselves. Then she looked at Zhang Keer aside, "Is there really such a rule in the film and television industry?"

Zhang Keer nodded numbly.

There is indeed this rule in the film and television industry, but it is also a drama that has been filmed, but now the first episode has just been filmed!

Seeing this, Aunt Cao and Aunt Goose were too embarrassed to refuse anymore and took the red envelope that Li Mingyue forced into her.

Zhang Keer, Su You, Hao Wei and others were also involved.

"Eat, eat, eat, you're welcome!"

"This rock salt grilled golden fish tastes very good. I order it every time I come here. Please give it a try!"

After handing out the red envelopes, Li Mingyue felt refreshed and greeted everyone to eat. If the system hadn't allowed it, she would have ordered a few king crabs and a few bottles of Chateau Lafite red wine.

Two hours later, after the celebration banquet, Aunt Cao, Aunt Goose and others asked when the short play would be broadcast and then left.

Only the top five film and television giants Xihong were left in the box. At this time, Li Mingyue took out five red envelopes again and gave them to Su You and the other five.

"This is the dividend from "The Dragon King". Don't refuse it. We are a company that wants to become the king of film and television. Of course, everyone must have money to spend it together!"

"Not just "Dragon King", the profits from every drama in the future will be divided into dividends for you. The director will receive 15%, the cinematographer Ke'er and starring Hao Wei will receive 10%, and the handyman Li Zhenduo will receive 8%."

Li Mingyue looked at Zhang Keer who was about to say something again, quickly stopped him, and said righteously.

"???"

Looking at the red envelope in his hand, Li Zhenduo felt insulted.

"What is a handyman?"

"I'm the assistant director!"

"I just occasionally work part-time as a set manager, prop master, and set designer...that's all. I'm also an indispensable part of this crew. Without me, would the filming have been so smooth?"

Although he had a lot to say, Li Zhenduo squeezed the thickness of the red envelope in his hand and decisively shut up. There was no other way, she had given too much!
Just be a handyman.

Su You put away the red envelope and didn't say much. If he was touched, there was no need to say more. He would tell Li Mingyue with actions that her trust, her appreciation, and her generosity would all be rewarded!

If Li Mingyue, who had just squandered all the system funds, knew what Su You was thinking, she would probably faint on the spot.

"I suggest that new dramas be released on Xiaopo Station!"

At the dinner table, Su You started today's topic.

"Although we have a certain fan base on Douyin, the Douyin platform as a whole still favors short videos. Very few people have the patience to watch a 10-minute long video. In other words, people who watch Douyin just come to kill themselves. With fragmented time, it is very likely that they do not have 10 minutes of free time at all.”

Before anyone could ask questions, Su You quickly explained, "So Xiaopo Station would be a better choice."

"Director Su is right!"

"We will broadcast the new drama on Xiaopo Station!" Li Mingyue was very excited when she heard it, and immediately agreed. After hearing Su You's speech, she suddenly felt that her worries just now were a bit unnecessary.

After all, they have 200 million fans on Douyin. If they publish it on Douyin platform, it is inevitable that some fans will choose to buy it because of their reputation. But if they publish it on a small website and start from scratch, it will have an impact no matter what. to sales volume.

No matter how small a mosquito is, it is still meat. Li Mingyue will not let go of any possibility that may make the new drama hit the market!
Su You was deeply moved. Li Mingyue always supported his decision unconditionally. He had never met such a good boss in his two lifetimes.

Although Zhang Keer and others have some doubts, after all, they do not have a certain fan base in Douyin, but more than 200 million fans!
However, they felt that Su You had a point. After this week of filming, everyone had great trust in Su You's ability, and even started to blindly worship him.

"There is also a profit model for new dramas..."

Su You continued, "I think this time we can give up the paid on-demand format and choose free!"

Because the distribution qualifications in this world require multiple approvals, every manufacturer that publishes videos has already paid a huge price for it. These costs will naturally be borne by the audience, and the wool will be borne by the pigs. This is normal.

Therefore, in this world, almost 99% of videos require payment. It can be like the previous "Dragon King" where the first few episodes are free and then you need to pay for on-demand. It can also be that the first few minutes of the video are free and the subsequent content needs to be paid for on-demand.

At the same time, because these videos require payment to be viewed on-demand, the same video can only be put on one platform and cannot be distributed across all platforms.

"free?"

This time, even Li Zhenduo looked at Su You as if he were a fool, "How can we make money if it's free?"

This undoubtedly expressed everyone's feelings. Everyone looked at Su You. If it was half a month ago, they would have objected and started to ridicule, but now, they are just waiting for Su You's explanation.

Li Mingyue stared at Su You nervously. She was excited and a little nervous at the same time.

She was in favor of the free proposal with both hands and feet, but the system stipulated that the film and television works invested in must be profitable, otherwise it would be all charity, and it would be too easy to lose money.

"Aren't there traffic incentives for small broken websites?"

Su You grinned and made a joke, "It's 10 yuan for [-] plays!"

Everyone else felt like they were going crazy. Ten thousand plays cost 10 yuan, so how many plays would it take to get back the money?

The first episode of "Once Upon a Time in the Square" alone cost more than RMB [-] in film remuneration and filming costs. In other words, this episode needs to be broadcast over RMB [-] million to be able to make back the money...

Xiaopo.com is no joke. On Xiaopo.com, a video that plays more than one million times is already considered a success. If it plays more than [-] million, it will be ranked on the annual playback list. It is basically impossible to achieve more than [-] million. .

But at this moment, Li Mingyue felt that all the flowers in the world were blooming.

genius!

Su You is really a genius!

Doesn’t the system need to be profitable?
Is traffic incentive a profit point?
Of course it is!
Don't say it's small, just ask whether it can be profitable?
Uh... It seems difficult to get back the money and make a profit. Li Mingyue suddenly no longer felt confident.

However, the system did not pop up a warning, which means it works!

"Hahaha……"

Li Mingyue felt like there was a little person of her own laughing crazily in her belly.

"It's just a small station, and it's free!"

"Send it quickly!"

"Ok?"

Su You stared at the excited Li Mingyue with wide eyes. He was just joking. Did Li Mingyue really think that profits could be achieved through traffic incentives?
