Chapter 110 The water is very deep [Seeking a monthly ticket]
By the time Xu Wenruo returned to the capital, it was already approaching the Spring Festival. The part of the Seven Star Lu Palace had been completed. Xu Wenruo was preparing to start publicity after the New Year.
Of course, the platform is still a familiar Xingxun Video. As for the specific cooperation methods, we have to discuss it slowly. However, Xu Wenruo already has ten episodes of films in his hand, and I believe that it should be able to negotiate a good price, but the specific cooperation content will be put after the New Year.
Xu Wenruo has been staying at home for honestly during this period. Ms. Deng Xinyu expressed her great agreement. Seeing her son who is so busy all day and having time to stay at home, she felt very relieved and made delicious food for Xu Wenruo in different ways every day.
But Ms. Deng Xinyu was unforgivable and scolded Xu Wenruo every day, saying that he did not forget to work while staying at home. His father Xu Qing, who also worked in the study, could not help Xu Wenruo, and he could not protect himself.
The father and son stayed in the study all day, which made Ms. Deng Xinyu feel like an outsider. So she was very unhappy and started to mutter Xu Wenruo.
Warm time is always short. After Xu Wenruo stayed at home for less than a month and finished all the parts of the Angry Sea Sand, he would start to consider the publicity work.
Here, Xu Wenruo really thanks the pioneer studio. After receiving Xu Wenruo's order for his dream, he devoted great enthusiasm and worked overtime every day to produce special effects. Even the Spring Festival only took three days off.
Xu Wenruo, who finally learned the news, was a little sad and could only pay an extra overtime fee to comfort their tired hearts. Due to the power of the pioneer studio, the first season of "Grave Robbers" was finally fully produced.
Xu Wenruo immediately submitted for review after the New Year and also began to negotiate with various video platforms. He was not worried about the scale. The scale of online dramas in this time and space is quite large, and gods and ghosts can still exist, not to mention that "The Grave Robbers' Chronicles" does not contain bloody and violent content.
Xu Wenruo and Qi Yue’s first stop was Xingxun Video. As early as the New Year, their supervisor expressed his intention to sign the online drama, but he was delayed by the annual leave. So as soon as he went to work after the New Year, Xingxun Video sent an invitation to Fengqi Studio.
In addition to Xingxun Video's great optimism about the quality of this drama, there is also the reason why Xu Wenruo is not unfamiliar with Xu Wenruo. In a sense, Xu Wenruo was also praised by Xingxun Video. After all, the training camp is a program under Xingxun Video.
They knew Xu Wenruo's potential and wanted to cooperate with Xu Wenruo. After all, Xingxun Music, the next department, made a lot of money because of Xu Wenruo's album, and the specific profits will not be mentioned for the time being. However, Xingxun Music's momentum has been quite large during this period, which has suppressed the limelight of several other music platforms.
Even at the annual meeting of Xingxun Group, Xingxun Music Department was praised by the company's senior management, which made Xingxun Video's person in charge very enjoyable. It was obviously an idol they cultivated, but the music department was finally praised. How could he tolerate it?
So this time, Xu Wenruo took the initiative to come to the door for cooperation. The person in charge of Xingxun Music attached great importance to it. When Xu Wenruo and Qi Yue came to Xingxun Video headquarters, all the supervisors of the department came to attend the meeting. At least in terms of attitude, they showed great sincerity.
"Director Xu is really young and promising. Not only can he write songs, but he is also unambiguous when filming movies. The quality of this online drama is very high."
"Thank you for your compliment. Let's talk about how to cooperate. You may have seen it. This online drama is only the first season and there is a lot of content in the future, so this is a long-term cooperation."
Faced with the rainbow farts of these executives, Xu Wenruo was not at all. He was not a person who liked nonsense, so he spoke a little more directly.
The person in charge of Xingxun Video's business is a middle-aged man with gray hair. Judging from his slightly dense hair, this person should not be the supervisor promoted by a technician. Therefore, when he heard Xu Wenruo's more direct words, there was not much expression on his face, but a look flashed in his eyes.
"Director Xu is so quick-witted, so how do you plan to cooperate?"
"The following online dramas also say that the most important thing is the current one. I think you have watched the previous ten episodes. You should know the quality of them, so what are the conditions you plan to offer."
Xu Wenruo did not give in. Although his negotiation experience was not very rich, he also understood one thing, that is, the party who exposed his bottom line first would definitely be very passive, so Xu Wenruo could only wait for the other side to make a quote first.
"We are responsible for promoting the distribution, and will definitely give very generous resources, but our requirement is exclusive, advertising is divided into 55%."
"Exclusive, 50% off, but I ask for the best publicity."
Xu Wenruo accepted the conditions issued by Xingxun Video in full, and his only requirement was to increase publicity efforts. Xu Wenruo knew very well that what he needed most now was publicity.
If he just released a song, then Xu Wenruo would definitely not consider the promotional issue. With his current fame and popularity, posting a song will definitely cause a topic immediately, but it is not necessarily true that Xu Wenruo films an online drama.
After all, this is a cross-border, and no one knows what the film Xu Wenruo is like. It is very difficult to trick the audience (crossed out) and attract them to the drama to watch. Therefore, it requires vigorous publicity. The wine is still afraid of the deep alley.
Xu Wenruo was sure that the quality of the web drama he made was very good, at least much better than those who made up randomly in his previous life. Xu Wenruo respected the original work to shoot. After all, adaptation is not random, and jokes are not nonsense. In the second half of this year...
Xu Wenruo actually doesn't care much about the share of advertising, because the most important thing about a drama is the number of views and copyrights. These are the long-lasting benefits and are not lower than the share of advertising revenue. Especially the latter. If "The Grave Robbers' Chronicles" really becomes popular, maybe the cost can be recovered by the subsequent buyout of copyright fees.
"There is no problem with the publicity. The quality of this drama should be vigorously promoted. We can guarantee that if there is no problem, we can sign a contract."
"No problem, I look forward to working with you again in the future."
"If nothing unexpected happens, the next season will definitely be ours. I have confidence in the strength of this online drama and Xingxun Video."
"I think so, then there will be a period later."
Xingxun Video was very quick. On the day of signing the contract, Fengqi Studio sent the complete film of the 30th episode of the first season of "Grave Robbers" to Xingxun Video. The next day, Xu Wenruo saw overwhelming publicity online.
The resources that Xingxun Video can mobilize are indeed extraordinary. It is worthy of being a large Internet company. Not only does it have a lot of publicity on the video website, but it can even see the publicity about "Grave Robbers' Chronicles" on other communities, forums, and Xingxun.
Many people who are not aware of the fact that Xu Wenruo is about to release a new album. After all, Xu Wenruo is the only one in this online drama that can be promoted on a large scale. After all, the other two starring actors are just unreliable newcomers. Although Mr. Yu Wei is an acting school, he has no traffic.
So the topic can only be concentrated on Xu Wenruo. After all, this drama is the first drama he wrote, directed and acted by himself. Just this selling point can attract a large number of fans to watch.
Of course, this kind of publicity will also cause some disgust. After all, Xu Wenruo, a singer, suddenly wrote, directed and acted on his own. For those who don’t know Xu Wenruo, the first impression they give is that the quality of the drama is not very good, and only fools will watch it.
Whether you want to watch it or not, at least this overwhelming publicity has had a certain effect. Many people know that Xu Wenruo recently filmed an online drama called "Grave Robbers' Chronicles", which is preparing to be launched on Xingxun Video.
Of course, the one who was most excited to see this news was Wang Xiaole. After he learned the news, he immediately came to the forum where he posted a post and interacted with netizens who had mocked him before.
"Where is people? Didn't you say that if Xu Wenruo wrote "Grave Robbers' Chronicles" by himself, would you eat Xiang? Now the facts have come out, why don't you dare to speak?"
"Why don't you talk now when I danced so happily? I dare not be a group of scumbags!"
Just as Wang Xiaole was proud, a mastermind behind him once again reached out, grabbed his cell phone, and then a very cold voice rang in Wang Xiaole's ears.
"Student Wang Xiaole, how many times have you said that you are not allowed to bring your cell phone to school. After school, my office will be in my office."
Wang Xiaole looked at the ruthless back of the head teacher and was crying without tears. He was sanctioned on the Internet just now, and he was instantly punished. It is really a good way of heaven to reincarnate. Who can the heaven spare?
Xu Wenruo, who had disappeared from fans' sight for a long time, appeared again, and was accompanied by a self-written, directed and acted by himself. This made many people feel strange. As traffic and topics became more and more popular, various remarks followed one after another.
"No, a singer doesn't write songs well and wants to film. I must pay attention to the masterpieces and see if it can break the lowest score in history."
"I don't think so. This is a top traffic idol. No matter how bad the filming is, the rating will not be too low."
"Dear film critics have come out to work. At the beginning of this year, I'm afraid that it's not the strongest drama, so I've booked it."
"There is no warrior who dares to try poison. I'm afraid that my eyes will be blinded by thunder."
"A singer who doesn't want to be a director is not a good actor. To be honest, Xu Wenruo is indeed a very talented singer, but why do you want to shoot movies and TV series?"
Xu Wenruo himself is a top-notch traffic. Although he rarely appears in the public's sight in the past few months, his songs are becoming more and more popular. As time goes by, classic songs have become more and more fragrant. Even though Xu Wenruo has disappeared from the music scene, his legend is still circulating everywhere in the world.
For example, Xu Wenruo's album sales have approached 10 million copies, which is a very terrifying number and a very crazy number for other singers. After Xu Wenruo released his new album, many singers chose to release digital albums.
However, most people are very miserable. The quality of the album is not good, and they can't choose any distribution method. For example, a singer with a superstar singer's digital album data is very beautiful, and the album sales have reached millions. Although it is still a little different from Xu Wenruo's album, it is considered to have made a lot of money.
It was Xu Wenruo's songs that gradually became classics. Even if he did not appear, Xu Wenruo's popularity did not dissipate. Instead, he was constantly dormant. When there was news about Xu Wenruo, the long-accumulated popularity began to explode.
Not only many netizens have made remarks that they are not optimistic about Xu Wenruo's online drama, but even some well-known people in the industry can't stand it anymore. I don't know if they want to take advantage of the popularity or simply complain. Anyway, they call themselves old seniors and think that he can only listen to Xu Wenruo's words.
For example, the well-known screenwriter Pan He in the industry evaluated "Grave Robbers' Chronicles":
Tomb Raiders is indeed a very novel perspective. It has to be said that Xu Wenruo, who is known as the talented singer, is indeed very insightful, but this subject requires a very deep foundation.
I also know that this drama must involve a lot of professional knowledge, especially cultural relics and other cultural heritage. It is profound and profound. The water here is very deep, so this young friend is likely to be unable to grasp it.
In the second half of this year, the historical drama "Southern Tang Fengyun" written by me will start filming. I hope everyone will pay more attention. I am a very experienced screenwriter and have a lot of research on the history of the Southern Tang Dynasty. I will definitely present a very exciting drama to you.
The screenwriter named Pan He is indeed very keen and has gained first-hand popularity. Just when everyone was doubting the quality of Xu Wenruo's drama, he chose to stand up.
However, his way of taking advantage of the popularity is too clumsy and netizens can see through it at a glance. With this little thought, he can't deceive people at all.
"Although I think Xu Wenruo's online drama may not be very good, but your appearance of riding on the popularity makes people feel even more disgusting."
"Hahahaha, I relied on my seniority in front and scolded the young people. After the style changed, I started selling movies directly. Why are you still a screenwriter? You don't make money when you go out to set up a stall? I thought, there is nothing you can't sell."
"Xiao Xu, the water in the movies and TV dramas is very deep, you can't grasp it. I, Panhe, are not afraid of the depth of the water, let me grasp it."
"Leng Zhi: Xu Wenruo's father Xu Qing is a professor in the History Department of Peking University, and he is also a top student in the Chinese Department of Peking University. He really doesn't understand historical relics at all."
