I Know Everything - Chapter 659
Chapter 659: Little Studio.
Han Dong’er deliberately dragged things out and only finished when Chen Huan was there.
Then she immediately finished the album and started the preparation for the release when he was there.
Yanhuang Music prepared for her to do promotion in the four biggest cities of the country and other important second-tier cities like Lin’an, Rongcheng, Jianye and Wuhan.
Each city had their own uniqueness and everything must be considered in advance when promoting in different cities such as the theme.
Otherwise, why would the fans make the local fans feel special whenever they met their celebrities?
They all rehearsed beforehand!
Han Dong’er obviously couldn’t avoid this.
She didn’t have to mind this when recording her albums.
But now, the small empress had to listen to what the planners had to say when promoting came around.
Han Dong’er could make it to her home until 9pm with how busy she was and Chen Huan also had things to talk to her for a bit before she could go rest.
Ahem.
Don’t get it wrong.
The two slept in separate rooms with Sun Yan who slept in the living room.
It wasn’t that she was worrying about Chen Huan but that Chen Huan was using her room so she could only sleep in the living room.
Chen Huan said he would sleep on the couch but since he was a guest and no matter how much Sun Yan mocked him usually, she wouldn’t forget what kind of status he had so obviously couldn’t be that unwelcoming.
With things like that, Chen Huan also had a lot of free time on him.
The first place he visited was the studio of Fengxiang Film in Huajin.
Fengxiang Film was just a small company and without the name of Lu Xiaofeng and Chu Liuxiang, it would just be one of the unremarkable film studios among many in China.
They only got it because Xin Changkong needed to do post-production so they rented a place in Huajin where they could do editing and other production matters.
When Xin Changkong had nothing to do, he would stay at the little office there and read some books or watch scripts.
There were also a few clerks or staff there.
For the other staff, Xin Changkong would use the same method of only hiring them where there was work to be made and disperse when there was nothing.
This was a common work routine all over the world for film crews.
It was like the other world since it was impossible to survive if they employed hundreds of workers.
Hiring on demand and remuneration based on work were the best models!
The most important point was it would reduce the burden on the company.
That was why the extras would gather at the film companies waiting for a job.
Xin Changkong’s second TV series was ‘Prison Break’ and it started shooting in February and was in post-production in May.
It was July now and that TV series had already been given to Shanhai Streaming.
The money given by Shanhai Streaming wasn’t low.
The exclusive right for the first broadcast whether it was online or offline was 100 million Yuan, which was a very high price for a 30 episodes TV series.
There were bonuses too.
If the average number of viewers per episode were 100 million, 50 million yuan would be given and if it was 200 million viewers on average, then it would be 100 million yuan.
It seemed to be a high number to reach but if they take into account that it would also be broadcasted in English, Japanese and in Korea on top of the series being internationally oriented, that number wouldn’t appear to be that high anymore.
Shanhai Streaming started a widespread promotion with the teaser edited by Xin Changkong as early as mid-March.
The various advertisements were in various languages.
Shanhai Streaming was now a dominant presence across Asia and was also known across the world so their big TV series launch would naturally attract a lot of attention.
Especially when ‘Prison Break’ was something that suited the men viewers whether it was the name or the theme so it was a very exciting TV series.
At least, that was what the male viewers said.
They also believed in Teacher Chu Liuxiang who had created many great products before.
“Shanhai Streaming made a survey two days ago.” Xin Changkong said to Chen Huan, “There were at least 200 million people who clicked ‘they would definitely watch this series’ option among 400 million people who took the survey. They are all looking forward to another work from Teacher Chu and even the female audience felt expectant of it.”
“The generosity of Shanhai Streaming is sure great.” Chen Huan nodded and said, “They already spent 100 million for it and with the bonuses, it may reach 200 million. Maybe the other streaming platform and TV stations are actually scolding them for raising the prices.”
“Haha, they had the ability, that’s why.” Xin Changkong also signed with emotion, “They received 200 million for advertising fees for all the different languages free version of the show. That 200 million came from five companies. Then there is also the specially edited version that only VIP subscribers can watch so that’s another batch of subscribers. Shanhai Streaming ability to make money is quite impressive.”
The other streaming platform was now copying Shanhai Streaming.
Youyi’s ‘Love Through Different Time’ may have been beaten by ‘Princess Returning Pearl’ but their extended version that only VIPs could see had increased their number of annual VIP subscribers by 1 million.
This was a great achievement for Youyi.
If they could make eight or so great TV series like that per year, their company would definitely perform better and better, with less loss as time went on.
So Youyi, who had tasted the success of it, had recently produced big TV series that were directed by renowned directors with renowned castings, which produced good results.
Now, their total annual VIP subscribers were at 18 million and they were projected to reach 20 million at the beginning of next year.
After all, two years ago, their annual subscribers were only 12 million.
However, that number was still low compared to the 43 million that Shanhai Streaming had.
Shanhai Streaming continued to attract more viewers and traffic with the help of Chen Huan via their TV series, movies and variety shows while allowing VIP users to enjoy better content that free accounts couldn’t so their number of annual subscribers continued to soar.
The TV series ‘Princess Returning Pearl’ alone earned them 10 million new annual subscribers.
If ‘Prison Break’ was successful, it would allow them to reach 50 million subscribers this year!
