After the single-day views of "White Night" reached 150 million, it never went down again.

The plot of the whole drama is very compact, and the highlight of the two brothers "Guan Hongfeng" and "Guan Hongyu" pretending to be each other continues from the beginning to the end.

Even in the last ending shot, it was originally his brother "Guan Hongfeng" who was arrested, but in the last shot, Fang Xing faced the camera and showed a meaningful smile.

Many viewers immediately thought that it might not be his brother "Guan Hongfeng" who was caught in the end, but his younger brother "Guan Hongyu" after the contract was swapped.

The plot of the two brothers protecting each other was tense until the last moment, leaving the audience unable to stop.

In the end, "White Night" secured its spot as the single-day viewing champion, and it lasted until the last episode.

Although the playback volume of "Lonely Suspect" is not low, it has been suppressed three days after the premiere of "White Night" and has never been able to make a comeback.

In the end, "White Night" became the ceiling of Wandou Video's self-produced dramas with record-breaking results.

After the finale of "Lone Suspect", "White Night" dominated the broadcast volume throughout December.

period.

Xiangtao Video has also prepared a drama. It was originally intended to cooperate with Penguin Video and attack Pea Video's "Mist Theater".

Therefore, after the finale of "Lone Suspect", Xiangyao Video released this suspense drama.

However, after two days of broadcasting, the highest number of views in a single day was 40 million, and then nothing happened.

As for sniping "White Night", that's just a joke.

The "Mist Theater" plan proposed by Fang Xing directly established the "Mist Theater" brand after the success of the two dramas "Dark Man" and "White Night".

Also because of the popularity of "White Night Chaser", the number of VIP users of Wandou Video has increased sharply, and it has even begun to threaten Penguin Video's status as the largest video website.

…

Some people are happy and some are sad.

Originally, among the three major video websites, Penguin Video ranked first.

Wandou Video has a slight advantage over Xiangtao Video and occupies the second position.

However, there is not much difference between the two websites.

The main disadvantage of Xiangtao Video is that its self-produced dramas started late. So far, the quality of self-produced dramas is not as good as that of Wandou Video, so it is at a disadvantage.

However, as long as the quality of Xiangtao Video’s self-produced dramas improves, there is a good chance that it will threaten Wandou Video’s second place position.

However, now Wandou Video and Ark Culture have joined forces to produce two consecutive "Mist Theater" exclusive suspense dramas, which has directly opened up a gap in status between Wandou Video and even begun to threaten Penguin Video's position as the largest video website.

It is more difficult for Xiangtao Video to overtake.

The top management of Xiangtao Video was very troubled. They originally invested heavily in film and television companies to develop self-produced dramas. However, the self-produced dramas have just begun to show some improvement, and they are preparing to compete with Wandou Video.

As a result, Fang Xing immediately wiped out the battlefield as soon as he entered the scene.

In fact.

When Fang Xing and Wandou Video were discussing cooperation, Xiangtao Video also wanted to get involved.

The senior management of Xiangtao Video once had a chat with Fang Xing and also offered conditions for cooperation.

However, the CEO voice of Xiangtao Video is not as big as that of Gong Jianbin, the chairman and president of Wandou Video. As a result, Xiangtao Video lacks courage and offers conditions that are not as good as those of Wandou Video. In the end, it misses out on "Dark Man" and "Dark Man".

Chasing the Murderer in the White Night".

Moreover, Fang Xing developed the special theme "Mist Theater" and it was a great success. This is not just the success of one or two dramas. In the future, relying on this special theater, a large number of VIP users can be retained.

In the current video website market, the incremental era is over.

After all, the users of video websites have been almost developed, and many viewers even open VIPs for multiple video platforms.

Therefore, the cake has basically reached its maximum size.

Next is the stock era.

In the stock era, it depends on who can retain VIP users better.

What do you rely on to retain VIP users?

Just rely on content.

If it is an incremental era, you can also rely on publicity to attract new users and increase the number of users.

However, in the era of inventory, new users are becoming fewer and fewer. When it comes to fighting for inventory, content is crucial.

Fang Xing brought not only two excellent TV series to Wandou Video, but also the brand "Mist Theater".

The brand of thematic theater will be promoted, form a word-of-mouth effect, and greatly increase user stickiness, which is half the battle won.

Of course, if there is only the "Mist Theater" brand but no new suspense dramas are aired, that won't work.

Therefore, before "White Night" finished airing, Gong Jianbin went to Pea Films for a meeting and planned to invest heavily in suspense dramas in the next two years.

Gong Jianbin even called Fang Xing personally to ask if there would be sequels to "The Dark One" and "White Night".

Fang Xing's answer was that there is a sequel to "Dark One", but it won't be filmed in the short term.

For a series, it is best to settle down for a period of time before releasing a sequel. A more suitable time is to have one sequel a year, which can create a long-term effect.

Therefore, even if "Dark Ones 2" is to be filmed, it will only happen next year.

However, Fog Theater needs suspense dramas to be continued, at least one good suspense drama every quarter, in order to ensure the popularity of this special theater.

Gong Jianbin hopes that Ark Culture can continue to prepare and produce a suspense drama as a special feature of Mist Theater in the first quarter of next year.

Fang Xing agreed temporarily, but did not give an exact time.

In order to speed up the cooperation between Wandou Video and Ark Culture, Gong Jianbin urged the signing of a share transfer contract.

Ark Culture officially invested in Wandou Video, acquiring 20% ​​of the shares and becoming the second largest shareholder.

The day after the signing was completed.

Fang Xing held a high-level meeting of Ark Culture to discuss the company's next plan.

Zhang Yigao naturally also participated in the meeting.

Since the success of "The Dark One", Zhang Yigao is now in high spirits.

Even though "The Dark One" was overshadowed by "The Lonely Suspect" when it aired, it was also a hit drama with an average viewing volume of over 100 million.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! And the score on Douya.com is 8.2, which can be said to be both well-received and well-received.

More importantly, "The Dark One" was directed by him alone. Although Fang Xing was the producer, the filming process was basically completed independently by him and the crew.

It can be said that "The Dark One" is currently the peak of his director's career.

After "The Dark One" became popular, Zhang Yigao no longer remembers how many film and television companies approached him, hoping to invest in his filming. They even prepared the crew and waited for him to go over and pick up the director.

Not only that, many film and television companies even offer a 5% director's share.

In the film and television industry, famous directors can get a share when they take on a drama.

The specific division will depend on the specific circumstances.

After all, different dramas require different investments.

For the same director, the share ratio for A-level dramas and S-level dramas will definitely be different.

As long as you can get a share, it means you already have a status in the director circle.

Zhang Yigao had been working on the set for almost ten years, and he dreamed of getting a guide again.

Because of that experience, he knows how difficult the directing industry is.

In this industry, once it fails, it is difficult to get a second chance.

Zhang Yigao was lucky. He joined Ark Culture when it was first founded, and then followed Fang Xing in filming "Wulin Gaiden".

Since then, he has filmed six hit dramas.

Only then did he get the opportunity to film the ancient puppet "The Elegance of the Tang Dynasty" alone.

In fact, "The Elegance of the Tang Dynasty" has become a small hit.

There are also film and television companies that are willing to invest in him and continue to make ancient puppets.

After all, the subject of ancient puppets is very safe, and it is not easy to make a bad film, and as long as it is not particularly bad, there will still be an audience to watch it.

For him, if he is willing to play it safe, he can continue to take roles in ancient puppets and keep filming them. He may not be a big hit, but at least there will always be films to film.

However, in the end, he did not accept investment from those film and television companies and stayed at Ark Culture, finally waiting for the script of "Dark Man".

After "The Legend of the Tang Dynasty", although there are film and television companies willing to invest in his dramas, the director will not get a share.

After all, just making an ancient puppet a small hit does not prove the director's ability, so it is impossible for the director to share the profit.

"Dark One" is different.

This kind of suspenseful criminal investigation drama is a big test for the director.

After the show became popular, film and television companies that originally did not offer him a share of the show started offering him a share and invited him to film.

There was even a period of time when Zhang Yigao was a little distracted. There were constant dinner parties every day, and he was invited by the bosses of major film and television companies.

He has become a popular figure in the director circle.
