Chapter 815 815.
The "Ghost Blowing Light" section of the reading forum has become active again in recent months since Huayi publicly announced that the novel would be adapted into a web series and a movie.
It is even more active than when Nie Wei serialized this work.
Some news about "Ghost Blowing Light" and more old fans of "Ghost Blowing Light" who were blown up by Huayi's announcement have reconnected, but this time they are not only discussing "Ghost Blowing Light", but more about what the movies and TV series will look like.
"I'm looking forward to the movie, but what is that web series?"
"I've learned about it, and it should be similar to the TV series, but it will only be broadcast online."
"Let me tell you, novels will definitely change once they are made into movies, TV series, or animations."
"But this is produced by Nie Wei after all, he is the original author and the screenwriter, I'm still looking forward to it."
"My biggest expectation now is Nie Wei, the author must not let me down."
Although many book friends say they are worried, more and more book friends come to the "Ghost Blowing Light" section of the reading forum every day to report. Until the day when the web drama "Ghost Blowing Light" officially announced its release date, the number of people online at the same time in the "Ghost Blowing Light" section also exceeded 100,000, setting a new record for the number of people online at the same time in major sections of the reading forum.
In fact, many book friends did not expect that this day would come so quickly. After all, according to the past habits, those TV series from project establishment to shooting, waiting for a year is considered short, but it has only been more than two months, and the TV series has been launched. In the eyes of many netizens, it is really incredible.
"It can't be shoddy, otherwise how could it be shot so quickly?" Some netizens worried.
"But the trailer is not bad, and the special effects are also quite shocking. I don't think it is shoddy." Of course, there are also rational people who glimpse the quality of this web drama from the two trailers released online.
In fact, the reason why the web drama can be launched quickly is all due to its different process from normal TV dramas.
First of all, it lacks the most troublesome review link. Of course, it is not that there is no review, but compared with those TV dramas that have to be broadcast on satellite TV, the review intensity of the web drama is completely like drizzle.
Moreover, since the beginning of this year, the government has issued a policy to vigorously support the Internet culture, so many things related to the Internet have been given the green light, and the Internet drama culture that Nie Wei first promoted has been listed as a key plan, which has been given a lot of convenience.
In addition, the broadcast mode of Internet dramas is different from that of regular TV series. TV series are basically two episodes a day, but because the number of Internet dramas is too short, they are only updated on Saturdays and Sundays, that is, four episodes a week.
In addition, due to the different censorship systems, the Internet drama of "Ghost Blowing Light: Jingjue Ancient City" has actually only the first ten episodes completed so far, but the subsequent episodes can be produced during the time of the previous concentrated broadcast. This mode is somewhat similar to the Korean idol drama mode of shooting and broadcasting at the same time.
Under several conditions, the cycle from the start of shooting to the release of this TV series is naturally greatly shortened.
This is why Nie Wei deliberately set up a web drama production department in the company that seems to have similar powers to the TV drama department. In fact, the difference between the two is quite large, in terms of content, the way of making TV dramas, etc. Instead of letting the TV drama production department adapt to the new model, it is better to open a separate department to completely distinguish the production methods of the two dramas. It is also a kind of competition, so both sides cannot relax.
Many netizens thought that this TV series would be broadcast at 8 o'clock like normal TV series, so many people came to the forum at more than 7 o'clock, but were told that the online time of the web drama was actually midnight.
Seeing that there are still nearly five hours before the TV series goes online, and there are so many book friends online at the same time, everyone began to speculate where the story of the TV series will start.
"I think it's important to start with Hu Bayi's grandfather, after all, it's a link between the past and the future."
"I don't think it's necessary to go to such lengths, just get to the point, his grandfather is at most a background, in fact, a few words about it will not affect the plot, why waste a lot of time shooting that."
"Actually, it doesn't matter how it's shot, as long as the original content is not changed too much, I will be satisfied, restore the Nine-story Demon Tower, the fire ladybug, the super salamander, the black sandstorm, the marching ants, etc., I really want to see if these things are the same as I thought. . "
"Me too, I'm very curious about what the corpse-scented amorphophallus looks like."
"Have you forgotten Brother Honghu?"
"Speaking of Honghu, I'm very curious about the mercury dolls. When I read the novel, these two "little ancestors" scared me to death, and the part where they repayed their gratitude also moved me for a long time. I hope that the TV series can perfectly restore this pair of poor dolls."
"You said that "The Ancient City of Jingjue" was filmed in less than three months. Can we wait another three months to see the second part?" Suddenly, the words of a book friend set off a forum.
Some people think that this book friend's idea is very beautiful, but the reality is cruel.
Some people think that it is not impossible. If the performance of this TV series is very good, maybe the second part will be started immediately.
Time passed quickly as everyone laughed and joked. Before we knew it, it was already 11:50 p.m., with only ten minutes left before "Ghost Blows Out the Light: The Ancient City of Jingjue" would be officially launched.
At this time, the number of online users in the book friends forum remained at around 80,000, but the number of new posts updated was significantly reduced, because many people had already gone to Fanxing Video Network to refresh the webpage. After all, if the website was updated in advance, it would be good for everyone to watch it a few minutes earlier.
The good intentions of these people were not in vain. At 11:55, a book friend subconsciously refreshed the page and found that the webpage that originally had only two trailers suddenly had four more episodes of content.
Seeing this scene, the book friend excitedly clicked on the first episode. Looking at the full 45 minutes of duration, he knew that he had finally waited for the feature film.
But aren't there two episodes updated every day? What about the next three or four episodes?
Out of curiosity, the netizen did not choose to watch the TV series immediately, but tried to click on the third episode with the word VIP, and a line of words popped up.
"You are not a VIP user, so you cannot watch it in advance. If you want to catch up with the drama in advance, you can go to Fanxing VIP TV."
"X!!!" Seeing this letter, the netizen couldn't help but shout out a Chinese curse. Obviously, this is the legendary paid chapter.
"It's just a matter of waiting for a day, I won't spend this money." The netizen thought so while clicking on the first episode again.
Unknowingly, an hour and a half passed, but the netizen didn't notice it at all. It wasn't until the video on the Internet suddenly stuck that he realized that he had already watched two episodes.
"It's really good." The netizen who turned around first sighed that this TV series was good.
"But why is it gone now? This is the critical period. Who interrupted the plot? I'm going to send a razor blade!" After sighing, the netizen was crazy.
It's really too fucked up that the plot was interrupted.
After two episodes, the plot rhythm is actually very good, without any drag. But after all, this is a suspenseful tomb-robbing TV series, and the real excitement is in this aspect. However, when several people have already discovered the ancient tomb, the second episode ends.
How can this not make people crazy! ?
At this time, he finally set his sights on the third and fourth episodes with two VIP words. His initial persistence was finally seriously shaken at this moment. Thinking of the tomb of the Jin general in the book, or the Guandong Army Fortress, thinking of the red hyena, thinking of what the mercury doll and the vampire bat look like, his heart is like a cat scratching.
If the first two episodes of this TV series were poorly made, it would be fine, but it was shot so well, the plot rhythm was not dragged, the actors' acting skills were all online, and there was that sense of the times. It was shot with an original feeling. The whole TV series was relaxed and exciting.
Such a good TV series, let him wait another 24 hours to watch two more episodes, just thinking about it, he felt that he couldn't do it.
"Anyway, this VIP is only ten yuan a month, eh? Charge for half a year and get one month free? Let me do the math, okay, I'll just charge for half a year." The netizen calculated it and finally spent sixty yuan to charge for seven months of Fanxing Video VIP.
After completing the recharge, he didn't even bother to close the recharge page, and immediately switched to the video website and clicked on the third episode of "Ghost Blowing Light: The Ancient City of Jingjue".
And there are many viewers like this netizen.
"Last night, our website had 260,000 more VIP users, and this number is still growing rapidly, and among these new VIP users, 47% chose to recharge for more than half a year." When the staff reported, they looked at Nie Wei with admiration.
Because he participated in the planning throughout the process, he knew best that it was Nie Wei who gave the advice that made Fanxing Video increase hundreds of thousands of VIP users in just one night, and these VIP users will also become the most loyal supporters of the website. After all, they all spent money. In today's era when the content of video websites is very similar, of course they choose to watch videos on video websites that cost money.
After listening to the staff's report, Nie Wei also showed a satisfied smile.
In fact, Nie Wei just used a trick that video websites will use in the future, but in this era, it really surprised many people.
This trick is to take advantage of human desire psychology, just like some in-game consumption props, such as buying a horse and matching horse gear. If you add the consumption points of the two props, you will never get an integer. Often, it is so dazzling that you only need a few yuan or even a few cents of points, but for such a few points, you often have to recharge at least ten yuan.
Although it is not much, based on the huge number of users, this accumulation is very considerable.
The trick used by Nie Wei is the same. In fact, releasing three or four episodes in advance does not harm the interests of ordinary users, because they only need to wait for one day and they can also watch it.
But TV dramas are either not worth watching, or as long as you watch them, you will watch them one episode at a time, and you can't stop.
At this time, as long as you become a VIP, you can watch three or four episodes in advance. For many people who can't wait, it is their motivation to recharge VIP.
And because of the way "Ghost Blowing the Lantern: Jingjue Ancient City" is broadcast, it is destined not to be completed in one month, but will take more than three months. At this time, a half-year recharge reward event will be launched.
After calculating, many netizens feel that they can’t watch it all in one month. The difference between four months and half a year is only 20 yuan, not to mention half a year and one month free. This is why a large number of users choose to recharge for half a year VIP.
This half-year period is enough for these VIP users to get used to watching videos, watching dramas, etc. on Fanxing Video Network. Coupled with the graded honor system launched by the video website, it further allows these users to take root in Fanxing Video.
Before getting off work in the evening, Nie Wei just went to work in the afternoon, and the staff who had reported in the morning appeared in his office again, reporting to Nie Wei that the number of new VIP users had exceeded 500,000.
After hearing this number, Nie Wei calculated that if nothing unexpected happened, then after the end of "Ghost Blowing the Lamp: Jingjue Ancient City", the Fanxing website would have at least one million more VIP users.
The VIP recharge fees earned are second. The key is that these VIP users are likely to convert into loyal users of the website. In this era when users are king, this is the most valuable harvest.
Just when Nie Wei was happy about the increase in VIP users of the video website, countless viewers who had watched "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" began to watch the TV series online.
"It's really a work of conscience. For me, who is a fan of the original work, this adapted work really satisfied me. I was satisfied and moved by all the small details, especially the meeting between Fatty and Bayi. I laughed with tears in the scene of the code. In my opinion, this is the ghost blowing the lamp in my mind. "
"A very well-made TV series. I paid a VIP fee for this TV series. I watched it from zero o'clock to three o'clock. I watched all four episodes in one go. I didn't doze off during the whole process. After watching it, I left with a lot of emotions. I fell asleep with my pillow in my hands. In the morning, I was frightened because Hong Jian and Mercury Doll came to visit me in my dream. I just wanted to complain to the crew why they made it so realistic!"
"You can see the sincerity of the crew from the details, just like the clothes written in the novel that Wang Kaixuan wore when he left the factory. He brought them in pieces. I compared the novel with the TV series and found that the degree of restoration exceeded 100%. 90%, it’s really a surprise and makes me, an original author, super satisfied.”
"Sure enough, the products produced by Huayi must be high-quality!"
Thanks to Mr. Anderson and Fantasy Park for their generous reward.
