Chapter 169 Don't buy, no money
On May 10, the new books "Empress" and "City of Machinery" were released.
Many people have become loyal readers of Qingmeng after reading "The Gate of the High Tower".
Thus, as soon as Qingmeng's new book was put on the shelves this time, it attracted many people to buy it.
Even with "The Empress", many copies were sold.
It's just that the circle of reading is far from the entertainment circle. Even though "City of Machinery" was widely acclaimed and the release of the novel of the same name as "Empress" did not bring much popularity to the TV series.
Shen Xiyan couldn't help laughing when she heard the news.
Fortunately, she was preparing for an interview backstage and was not seen by others.
"Song Qingyou also helped promote the book written by who?"
Tao Mi nodded.
"She made a good plan, but unfortunately it didn't work."
Shen Xi had a sneer on her face, "Why are screenwriters not screenwriters? What era is it now, and screenwriters don't matter at all."
"Since I'm a writer, let's write her book well, and I want to be a screenwriter! I really thought that the drama won me last time, so this time it's okay too?"
Last time, she was just careless and didn't take Song Qingyou seriously.
She spent so much money this time, it is impossible for Song Qingyou to turn her back!
Tao Mi saw that the boss was happy, and happily agreed.
Not long after, a staff member notified Shen Xiyan that she was on stage.
Shen Xiyan participated in a talk show with high ratings.
The show host is very popular among people who eat melons because he dares to ask any questions.
The show started, and the host asked Shen Xiyan some basic questions as usual.
After that, the topic turned to Song Qingyou.
"After the variety show "Survival in the Wild", the two TV series you filmed in succession seem to be broadcast at the same time as Song Qingyou's TV series. The two are really destined."
"I see that many people on the Internet are looking forward to the cooperation between the two. Have you considered working with Song Qingyou?"
As soon as Song Qingyou was mentioned, Shen Xiyan suppressed her smile, her expression a little secretive.
"Whoever I cooperate with, I listen to my agent, it depends on how the agent arranges."
As he said this, the expression on his face clearly read: 'Refused to cooperate'.
The host likes to watch the guests change faces, and then asked a few questions about Song Qingyou.
Shen Xiyan's expression became more and more stiff.
It is estimated that after the show was broadcast, everyone knew that she and Song Qingyou had a very bad relationship.
Just when she couldn't help telling the host to stop mentioning Song Qingyou, the director suddenly sent someone to the stage and said something in the host's ear.
Shen Xiyan felt a little bit uneasy in her heart.
The next second, she heard the host smile and ask:
"Just now there was news on the Internet that the ratings and broadcast volume of "Chang'an Fenghua" were falsified. I want to know if this is true or not?"
"Of course it's fake!"
Shen Xiyan replied without hesitation, "I will never do such a thing to deceive fans and audiences, and I hope everyone will not be deceived by rumors."
The host seemed to accept the answer and quickly changed the subject.
It's just that Shen Xiyan was absent-minded, and her answers became more and more perfunctory.
As early as when she was recording the show, a post appeared on all major social platforms.
Post by a person with the offending username "X" with the title:
【Falsified ratings of TV dramas have become the norm, who is behind the scenes? 】
The content under the title is not a great truth, nor is it news.
It is real evidence. All the TV series that have purchased ratings in the past five years have been picked up.
The most outrageous among them is "Chang'an Fenghua".
In order to break the 20 ratings, "Chang'an Fenghua" even set a price of 5 million for an episode, asking related companies to buy sample accounts and tamper with the data...
All social platforms, such as Weibo, forums, etc., as long as someone clicks on it, that post will appear at the top, and it is difficult not to be seen.
Even the advertising space in V Xin Moments was replaced by this post.
This time, the inside and outside of the circle exploded.
——
Weibo company.
Everyone in the tech department is struggling right now.
Because the boss who seldom sees a few times throughout the year is standing behind them right now, almost spitting on their heads.
"Aren't you alright?"
"Can't that post be withdrawn?"
"I hired you at a high price to join the company, and you don't even know that someone has hacked into the backstage?"
"Is this our company's Weibo, or the Weibo of the person who posted it?"
The boss of the Weibo company is dying of anxiety.
This post exposes the inside story of the industry, and its influence is definitely not ordinary, and it can only drive a lot of traffic.
But the problem is, this will offend people!
At this time, it is like ants on a hot pot, not only Weibo, but also other social platforms.
However, no matter how anxious they were, it was useless. Even the top technical team of a large company couldn't delete that post.
Unless, they shut down the server
—It’s impossible to shut down the server!
Not long after, #90％电视剧历史数捷#, #《长安风华》Data Fake#, #《xxx》Play Volume False#… Such topics occupied all the hot searches.
The artists involved are almost half of the entertainment industry.
The most fake "Chang'an Fenghua", which has just aired for a short time, has naturally become a target.
While this drama was scolded, it also reminded many people of "The Empress".
Some netizens directly asked Song Qingyou in the comment area if "The Empress" also bought the ratings
—Although it did not appear in the fake list.
Song Qingyou replied directly: [If you don’t buy it, you have no money. 】
By the way, the amount of investment, the remuneration of actors, etc. were revealed.
After seeing that Lin Siya's total salary was only a few hundred thousand, no one questioned Song Qingyou buying ratings anymore.
Because of a top-notch salary, hundreds of millions are possible.
Even the remuneration of "The Empress" is suppressed for this part, so where is the extra money to buy ratings?
But Times Media is not a vegetarian either.
Given that most of the leading actors in "Chang'an Fenghua" are artists from their own companies, they had to hurry up to public relations.
The first step in public relations is naturally to drag the crew of "The Empress" into the water
—The rest of the film crew didn't dare to say anything, only Song Qingyou responded, which happened to be convenient for them to make a 'reversal' and attract public attention.
Therefore, some people soon questioned, saying that even if "The Empress" had no money in the initial investment, it should have made a lot of money in the follow-up, and they could use the money they earned to buy ratings.
For this reason, these people did not hesitate to use the mouth of the gossip media to tear up the inside story of the industry, saying that buying ratings is usually bought with revenue, usually 70% to 30%, and the crew’s revenue is 3%.
So even if Song Qingyou has no money to invest in the early stage, it doesn't mean that she "gets out of the mud without being stained".
Time Media's PR team tried to make Song Qingyou a new target instead of Shen Xiyan.
He Jun also accepted the order under Song Qingyou's instruction.
As soon as he received the money, he crazily poured dirty water on Song Qingyou, one of the bosses.
