Chapter 230: Hundred Groups Battle
Baoqiang came back around 10:30 in the evening.
As soon as he entered the room, he couldn't help but shout excitedly: "Brother Kun, Brother Kun, I found another script that suits me!"
He obviously hasn't completely gotten over the character of "Niu Geng".
Hearing the noise, Xu Kun came out of the bedroom and motioned for him to speak in a low voice so as not to attract people downstairs. Then Baoqiang took the script from his hands.
"Soldier assault?"
Xu Kun glanced at the title of the script and felt like he had heard it somewhere before. It should be a popular TV series, so he asked casually, "Is it an anti-Japanese war drama similar to "Drawing Sword"? "
If "Zhu Yuanzhang" was a good start for the TV dramas in the second half of the year, "Drawing Sword" was a direct trump card, and even Zhao Wei's comeback work "Moment in Peking" was defeated by it.
It is estimated that in the next one or two years, there will be another climax of anti-Japanese war dramas.
"No, it's a story from today, a story about a rural kid who gradually transformed and grew up to be a soldier king!"
Although Baoqiang lowered his voice, he was still dancing with joy.
Xu Kun nodded, sat on the sofa and began to look through the script.
If Niu Geng exaggerated and magnified Baoqiang's simple, stubborn and humorous side, then Xu Sanduo showed the simple and humorous side of Baoqiang in just the right way, while highlighting the stubborn side of his character.
No~
This should be called 'perseverance'.
Finally, Xu Kun put the script on the coffee table and said to Bao Qiang: "This is indeed a good script suitable for you. It is hard to say whether it will be a hit, but as long as you perform well, you will definitely not lose money!"
"Yeah, that's what I thought too."
Baoqiang pulled over a short stool and sat opposite Xu Kun, his face wrinkled with smile.
Scratching the back of his ear, he asked innocently, "Brother Kun, do you have any plans for next year?"
"Why, you want me to play a cameo role?"
"The director wants you to play the role of Captain Yuan Lang. He said that with your temperament, you can become a tough soldier with a little adjustment."
This flattery just hit the spot for Xu Kun, and he laughed and said, "Okay, then I'll ask the director to send me a script for the role."
In addition to the comfort of flattery, Xu Kun actually wanted to play a soldier for a long time, especially a murderous and iron-blooded soldier like this.
Bao Qiang also said happily: "Then I will call the director early tomorrow morning!"
The two chatted for a while, and when it was almost half past 11, Xu Kun and Bao Qiang went back to their rooms to sleep because they had things to do early the next morning.
…………
Turn around.
Xu Kun brought Jiang Yiyan to LeTV New Media Company early in the morning.
From 03 to now, the self-media company has always been in a loss-making state, but its tentacles on the Internet have been buried deeper. In addition to the core of people, it has also recruited many peripheral members on the Internet.
"Brother Kun!"
As soon as they entered the hall, Gan Wei hugged him in front of Lao Jia.
Jiang Yiyan and Jia Yueting seemed to be used to it. At the end of October, "Seeing Words as Faces", directed and hosted by Gan Wei, was officially broadcast. With the title of "the first variety show on the Internet", it quickly became the king of the variety show industry in 10.
Even CCTV News publicly praised it, and all major media outlets praised it endlessly. In terms of popularity alone, only the Super Girl Contest that just ended could surpass "Seeing Words as Faces".
Gan Wei became completely famous after this incident.
As the saying goes, one should remember the person who dug the well when drinking water. It is no wonder that she was so excited and grateful when she saw Xu Kun again.
The four of them chatted and laughed as they went up to the second floor. Gan Wei took the initiative to take Jiang Yiyan to visit the news department of the self-media company, while Xu Kun and Jia Yueting walked directly into the packed conference room.
"Mr. Jia, Mr. Xu~"
More than a dozen participants quickly stood up to greet him.
"Sit down, everyone sit down."
Jia Yueting motioned for everyone to take a seat, and he and Xu Kun sat down at the main seat side by side. At his signal, a projection screen was lowered from the opposite wall, and then a national map with various numbers marked on it appeared on the screen.
A young man on the left stood up again, pointed at the screen and talked: "Since the end of August, after receiving the instructions from General Manager Xu on the 'Hundred Groups Campaign', we quickly organized manpower to infiltrate various hometown groups, sister groups, and migrant worker groups.
Currently, we have more than 1300 active QQ groups under our control, and about of them can guide public opinion, but most of them are relatively small, generally with less than people..."
As we all know, triangle is the most stable shape.
Therefore, Xu Kun also prepared three box office pillars for "Lost on Journey". The first pillar is to rely on TV series for promotion and marketing; the second pillar is the excellent quality of the film itself; and the third pillar, Xu Kun called it the "Hundred Groups Battle".
The so-called "Hundred Groups Battle", "hundred" is not a number, but refers to Baidu Tieba; "group" is not a quantifier, but refers to QQ group.
Today, the number of Internet users has exceeded million, and the Internet economy is showing great vitality. Among them, the most eye-catching are Baidu Tieba and Tencent QQ.
The former has become the largest public opinion platform on the Internet.
The latter achieved a record of over 2 million simultaneous online users in February this year. Among young people, the popularity of QQ numbers even exceeds that of mobile phones.
QQ groups also grew rapidly this year.
There are endless business opportunities here!
According to Xu Kun's plan, in the first phase, LeTV's self-media water army needs to infiltrate various QQ groups dominated by women in advance, and publish some inside gossip about the entertainment industry to create the illusion of active users.
And some of those who gave positive feedback were added to the chat group created by LeTV’s self-media.
The second stage is now, as Beijing TV stations begin to promote "Boss", online trolls have also begun to release related news and gossip in Q groups and related forums to increase the expectations of forum friends and group members.
The third phase is to cooperate with the broadcast of the TV series and continue to carry out publicity, purify fans, expand boundaries, and guide everyone to explore after the "Spring Festival Travel" incident, and stir up the topic of "What exactly did Meng Hao encounter?"
In the fourth stage, self-media and Chen Xuebin cooperated to promote the film.
Chen Xuebin would find some unknown extras, disguise them as audience members, post ticket stubs or photos from the event, and then add inflammatory texts, which would be spread online by the internet army.
To put it bluntly, it’s still the fan economy.
Around 2015, quite a few popular young actors used this trick to lift movies that were just passing the passing line into the billion-yuan club.
The most typical example is the "Tiny Times" trilogy, which has a box office record of a minimum of million and a maximum of million.
Although Xu Kun has not watched "Tiny Times", he has seen the news revealing these practices in later generations. Now he has launched this killer move ten years in advance. He does not ask to reach the lower limit of million of Tiny Times, but he will be satisfied with a fraction of it.
These stages sound simple, but how to operate them specifically and how to connect them cannot be explained in just a few words.
So this closed-door meeting lasted until three in the afternoon.
They only took a half-hour break during which everyone had a simple box lunch.
After the meeting, when Xu Kun and Lao Jia found Gan Wei and Jiang Yiyan, they were playing Audition with Li Xiaolu online.
"What has she been doing lately?"
Looking at Harry Lulu jumping up and down on the screen, Xu Kun asked in surprise, "I don't think I've heard of any roles she's taken."
"Sister Xiaolu said she was tired and wanted to rest for a while."
Xu Kun thought about how he heard that she and Li Chen were already at the stage of discussing marriage at the beginning of the year, and asked casually, "Are you planning to get married?"
"That's enough."
Jiang Yiyan whispered, "I heard that Aunt Zhang looks down on Li Chen, and Li Chen's family is not very satisfied with Sister Xiaolu either."
"Don't say that."
Gan Wei stretched himself, took Jia Yueting's arm and said, "Let's go to the movies tonight. I've asked someone to buy the tickets in advance."
"what movie?"
"Of course it's The Promise!"
Gan Wei said, "This is an epic blockbuster produced by Director Chen at a cost of 3 million yuan. We must go and broaden our horizons, learn a little, and help Brother Kun investigate the enemy!"
