Chapter 156 Poor crew
The outside world is paying attention to Kunpeng Film and Television's first project, and soon several key information about "Unexpectedly" became known to the outside world.
Element capture—
Low-cost shooting! Inexperienced young team! The director and actors are basically newbies!
.
These buffs are a set, and many people laughed.
“Test the waters?”
“New team lineup?”
“This play is purely for newcomers to practice, right?”
“Kunpeng wants to train his own filming team, which will definitely require him to pay a lot of tuition fees, and they won’t be able to recruit really talented people.”
“Many people are waiting and watching.”
"I have a director friend who has very good qualifications. Now he has left the company and has not yet found his next employer. Kunpeng's representative Jiang Cheng personally contacted him to invite him to join, but he said that he should consider it because Kunpeng Film and Television is really too small now. , It’s just a grassroots team.”
“So there is no way to use a group of new people.”
“When Kunpeng Film and Television really achieves results, it can attract some more powerful talents.”
“But there’s nothing wrong with Kunpeng’s approach. I’m really scared if they start filming with big investment and big production.”
“But can Kunpeng Video afford the wait?”
“When this new group of people grows up, Kunpeng Video will probably be finished.”
"Um."
“I heard that Jiangcheng issued an order to cancel many variety shows and self-produced film and television drama projects of Kunpeng Video.”
do not forget.
Video websites must constantly update content.
After acquiring this video website, Kunpeng also inherited its eight million members.
Although mosquitoes are small, they are still meat. The monthly membership fees of these eight million members can bring hundreds of millions of revenue to Kunpeng Video.
But if these member users cannot find good content to watch on Kunpeng Video, they will run out sooner or later.
Fast Media previously produced many self-produced variety shows and self-produced films and TV series in order to retain its eight million member users.
This is the source of website losses.
Because self-produced variety shows and film and television dramas all cost money, a lot of money.
So this is a dead end. If you don’t produce new programs or new variety shows, users will run away.
If you did?
That's still a loss of money, because the amount you pay for the content is not proportional to the return.
No wonder Gale Video finally agreed to sell the website for 100 million, which was quite a bargain.
The first thing Kunpeng did after acquiring this video website was to slowly cut off these projects that were too big to lose.
For example, a certain Gale Media’s self-produced variety show did not have a high number of views, but it cost a lot of money. It was originally expected to have twenty-two episodes, but now it has only completed its sixth episode, and the website has been acquired by Kunpeng.
Jiang Cheng waved his hand:
This kind of money-losing variety show must end within six episodes!
And some self-made film and television dramas have also been stopped.
The specific handover situation was discussed by the Kunpeng legal team and financial team dispatched by Jiangcheng and Gale Business—
After all, the business is spread out.
Kunpeng has now established necessary teams such as the legal department and the financial department.
is.
Neither the industry nor Gale Media can understand:
俼 Kunpeng acquired the video website and directly cut off these things. What will users watch in the future?
Are you just going to watch the low-budget film and television dramas shot by your team of pure newcomers?
…
Lin Zhibai is also considering how to continue operating the website.
The filming of "Unexpectedly" is just one part of his diversion plan.
As for the variety shows and self-produced film and television dramas of Gale Media, Lin Zhibai must cut them off, which is a bit like a strong man cutting off his arms and burning the cauldron.
The labor pains were definitely there, but he couldn't let the hole continue to expand.
Although a large number of old members of the website have started to criticize on the message board:
"I was following "The Performer", a music variety show produced by Hayate, but the pace of these two episodes suddenly started to speed up. It was said that the finals will be in a few episodes. Is this because the revenue is not good and it needs to be axed?"
“Many of the online variety shows currently being broadcast on this website are accelerating.”
“This shabby website takes jujube pills.”
“Didn’t you see that the name of the website has been changed? It used to be called Gale, but now it’s called Kunpeng.”
“After Kunpeng acquired this website, these programs were destined to be cancelled.”
“Then Kunpeng didn’t announce any new plans.”
“There is a web drama that I have been looking forward to. It is said that filming will start in the near future and it will be broadcast on this website. As a result, there is no news now. It is estimated that the crew has been disbanded.”
“I will not renew my membership when it expires this month.”
“Loss of money!”
“There is nothing new to see on this website!”
“I thought that after Kunpeng acquired this website, the situation of the website would get better, but this is the result?” The user was very annoyed.
There has been some turmoil on the Internet.
And this is already the result of Jiangcheng trying its best to give those programs buffer time. If the programs are cut directly, it is estimated that many users will directly explode.
no way.
Jiangcheng can only set up a public relations department to explain to these users. In fact, it is almost the same as losing money. It is to give 8 million members an extra three months of membership.
At the same time, Jiangcheng also made a commitment:
Kunpeng will produce some new high-quality content for everyone in the shortest possible time.
As for those variety shows that have gradually accelerated their pace, as well as some self-made film and television dramas that have been officially announced to be shot, they must be cancelled, because if they insist on continuing, Kunpeng will bear the cost.
This appeasement is quite effective.
After all, there is three months’ membership compensation.
Furthermore, Kunpeng representatives also publicly promised that they would produce some new high-quality content in the shortest possible time.
At this time, Kunpeng's signature comes into play.
After all, whether it is a TV series or a variety show, as long as it is produced by Kunpeng, the quality and popularity are very good, so users of Jiangcheng are willing to believe it.
Appease the user.
Jiang Cheng quickly called Lin Zhibai, "According to the boss's instructions, I have already let the news go out. Next, we may have to put on a variety show."
"I know."
Lin Zhibai has already begun to think about what kind of variety show is more suitable. After all, the website cannot rely solely on "Unexpectedly" in the future. This drama will definitely be successful, but in fact it is an act of treating the symptoms rather than the root cause. If you want to cure the root cause, you have to come up with a lot of new ideas. Only when things come out.
"correct."
Lin Zhibai asked: "How was the filming of "Unexpectedly" going?"
Jiang Cheng smiled and said: "The progress is very fast. Feng Shuo has already filmed six episodes."
Don’t be surprised.
Six episodes were filmed in a few days. It’s not because of how awesome director Feng Shuo is, nor how great the actors are, nor because the crew is perfunctory. In fact, each episode of this drama only lasts two or three minutes, and there is no substantive plot at all. The key is to grasp the lines and laughter.
This is a miniseries!
I estimate that this drama will be aired in a few days.
…
Lin Zhibai thought that when "Unexpectedly" starts to air, Kunpeng Video will be able to relax. Who knew that just a few days could cause trouble.
That very night.
Aurora Platform.
A user claiming to be an insider of Kunpeng Film and Television posted a long article.
The title of the article is "Kunpeng Film and Television deceived fans and corrupted the industry's atmosphere"!
“I am a new photographer who was recruited into Kunpeng Film and Television a few days ago. When I first entered this company, I was very excited and full of admiration and admiration for Kunpeng…”
The content of the article is not complicated.
It's nothing more than a newcomer in the industry who admires Kunpeng was recruited into Kunpeng Film and Television, and then followed the newly established crew to film a drama. It turned out that the drama was shoddy. As a photographer with a conscience and dreams, it is just. He couldn't bear it anymore and would rather lose his job than expose Kunpeng Film and Television's behavior that corrupted the industry.
At the end of the article.
This netizen who claimed to be a Kunpeng photographer complained: “Kunpeng’s Jiangcheng representative said that they would produce some new high-quality content in the shortest possible time and put it on the Kunpeng Video website. As a result, this is what Representative Jiang said. Is it high-quality content? You are clearly trying to deceive website users. You have obviously made so much money, why are you so reluctant to polish it and produce works that meet the standards..."
I have to admit that what this photographer said is true.
Judging from the shooting conditions, "Unexpectedly" does meet the so-called "shoddy" standard.
The plot is quite simple, with nothing meaningful to say. The crew also tried their best to save money in various ways. The scene was not serious at all, and even gave people a playful feeling.
These are all facts…
And Kunpeng Video has indeed caused some trouble recently.
Because many variety shows on video websites are accelerating, many projects that are destined to lose money have been axed by Kunpeng, causing many users of the website to be very dissatisfied.
Add this wave.
Kunpeng was filming a film and television drama for the first time, but he was "perfunctory" in various ways.
We are reluctant to spend money or hire celebrities. The studio is so shabby. To use the words of the photographer who wrote the article, you Kunpeng are obviously not short of money, but you are reluctant to spend even a little money. So forget it if you don’t hire stars. Give the newcomers a chance. It’s understandable, but why not just put random content on the website to fool the ignorant public?
Some people in the comment area questioned whether this guy was trying to smear Kunpeng?
In order to prove the authenticity of his words, the photographer directly released informal stills of the scene. From the photos, you can see that the crew really gave people the feeling of being pushed to the extreme. For example, when the protagonist and the ultimate villain were fighting, the big devil was actually standing there. On an old wooden pile…
This time netizens exploded.
The eight million users of Kunpeng Video are even more furious!
Is this the so-called “high-quality content” that Kunpeng is preparing for everyone?
Kunpeng has made so much money, but in the end he created such a poor crew to deal with us?
This time, it really affected the reputation of Kunpeng as a brand.
It was already the second day that Lin Zhibai knew about this matter. Because he had the habit of muting his cell phone while sleeping, he didn’t know how many calls Jiang Cheng had made to him last night...
