As expected by Sun Quan, the popularity of the drama "Dead Man's Last Wish" increased dramatically after the number of views on Youku Video exceeded 10 million.

In the next two days, the total number of viewers of this show exceeded 25 million.

After the last two episodes of this drama were released online, the number of viewers exceeded 30 million at around 2 o'clock that afternoon, and the number of viewers exceeded 41 million at noon the next day.

Seeing this web drama with only 14 episodes, it stood out from many TV dramas at the same time and became the third on-demand TV series on Youku Video that week.

Notice!

What we are talking about here are all the TV series of Youku Video. As for the online dramas of the same type? They have long been left behind by "Dead Man's Last Wish" by n blocks.

By the way, the dramatic increase in the data of this drama in recent days should be related to the fact that it entered the top ten of Youku Video’s TV on-demand rankings that week.

Since entering the top ten of this list, the number of viewers of this show has doubled.

Youku Video is also very impressive. It did not deliberately suppress the popularity of this drama in order to pay less copyright fees. Not only did it not suppress it, it also arranged for "The Last Wish" of the drama on the morning when the last two episodes were released.

A big push.

Together with several popular dramas of the same period, it is placed on the top of the entire website homepage in the form of a large cover, which is very conspicuous.

With the help of this huge promotion, and the fact that all 14 episodes of this drama have been released online, the popularity of this drama has remained high for many days in a row, and the number of viewers and comments has soared.

As a result, on the third day after being promoted, "Dead Man's Last Wish" topped the TV on-demand rankings for that week.

Became the champion of the TV series on demand that week.

At the same time, during this period, the popularity of "Dead Man's Last Wish" has been rapidly expanding, much like the original "Soul Ferry" after its popularity.

For many people who love to watch dramas online, this drama is very attractive.

Because many people on the Internet and around me who have watched this drama said that the style of this drama is completely different from traditional TV dramas and it is very exciting.

In addition, this drama only has 14 episodes, which makes many people who had not planned to watch this drama want to give it a try.

This is probably the advantage of being short and short!

Many people may frown upon a TV series that is too long and feel that they don’t have enough time to follow such a long series, so they might as well not watch it at all.

Not only that, how many Chinese people don’t know about the urinary properties of domestic dramas?

Many people don’t have to watch this kind of drama, which often has episodes of forty or fifty, to know that it must have been seriously watered down, and it is even possible that it deliberately included a large parting and reuniting scene to forcefully torture the male and female protagonists.

Forcefully torture the audience.

And a TV series with 14 episodes...

The reputation is still so good. When it first appeared in the eyes of some netizens, it was as if they suddenly saw a pretty girl among a group of dinosaur girls.

That refreshing feeling is like the feeling of suddenly feeling a ray of breeze on a hot summer day.

Then many of them, out of curiosity and giving it a try, tried to watch the first episode, and soon discovered that the style of this drama was indeed different from those glamorous ones.

The taste in the bones is different.

It will not forcefully create bloody plots, and there will be no love triangles like those in domestic TV series where you love me, I love him, but he loves dogs.

Almost all routines are brand new.

Since it is brand new, the so-called routine is no longer a routine in everyone's eyes.

And the suspense left at the end of each episode of this drama is like a hook, hooking people so hard that they can't stop watching it. Unknowingly, they continue to watch the next episode.

For this reason, some people couldn't help but stay up late to watch it. They originally planned to stay up for an hour and then go to bed, but in the end, they saw the dawn in one breath.

Moreover, the reason why I realized that it was dawn was because I had watched the whole drama in one overnight. Because after watching it all, I looked up and realized that it was dawn outside.

…

In the past few days, Sun Quan noticed that on the author forum, this drama was already praised to the sky.

Almost no one said that this drama was not good to watch.

Everyone was talking enthusiastically, and they also made fun of traditional domestic dramas.

Many authors are quite proud.

You can see a sense of pride in every word in their posts.

Such as: "Hey, I've said it a long time ago, domestic dramas are rubbish! Compared with stories, they are far inferior to our online dramas!"

"Those domestic screenwriters have long been out of date. If those vulgar and bloody plots were written into online articles, their mothers would not recognize them!"

"Xianyu is really a hit this time! Let those guys who make TV series in China take a good look at what makes a good TV series!"

"Every year when I see those remakes of Jin Yong dramas, I feel like vomiting. How many times have those people remade them since I was a kid? It seems like no one in our country knows how to write stories anymore!"

""Dead Man's Last Wish" has torn off the fig leaf that domestic dramas have always ignored!"

…

Because of these posts, Sun Quan's frequency of visiting the author forum has increased significantly in recent days, because it feels really good to quietly see so many colleagues praising him.

In fact, there are so many similar remarks not only on the author's forum.

In the past few days, he had seen a lot of similar comments in the review sections of his scarf and "The Last Wish of the Dead".

He knows that if he makes such remarks too often, many people in the film and television industry may become hostile towards him and his Xianyu Film and Television.

But he didn't panic.

He has always believed in being a low-key person and doing things in a high-key manner.

As a person, he can be low-key, but in terms of work, he has no habit of being low-key. If he is not envied by others, he is a mediocre person. Since he is involved in the film and television industry, he has made all kinds of mental preparations.

Either it becomes a big success, or it fails and the company goes bankrupt.

Between a big hit and the company's bankruptcy, he naturally hopes for a big hit.

At around two o'clock in the afternoon that day, Sun Quan was on the author forum, seeing how everyone was praising him, when his cell phone rang.

When I glanced at the caller, I accidentally saw that it was Lao Yi, the vice president of Qidian.

He raised his eyebrows slightly, surprised.

He immediately picked up his cell phone and connected the call. He was curious about what Lao Yi wanted to do with him again.

Are you urging me to publish a new book as soon as possible again?

Isn't it necessary? Can't you just ask the editor-in-chief or the editor-in-chief to remind you? Is it necessary for the vice president to call in person?

This was the doubt in his mind.

It was soon untied.

Lao Yi: "Xianyu! Congratulations! Your "Dead Man's Last Wish" is really a hit. The recent popularity is really amazing. It must be beyond many people's expectations. Haha, congratulations!"

As soon as the phone call came through, Lao Yi's congratulations reached Sun Quan's ears.

Just to congratulate?

Sun Quan didn't quite believe it, but he didn't rush to ask, "Thank you! Thank you, Mr. Yi!"

He was waiting for Lao Yi to take the initiative to talk about business.

But Lao Yi did not get straight to the point, but asked: "By the way, how are you preparing for your new book? Is it going well?"

Sun Quan: "Fortunately, the outline and details have been written. I should be able to write the main text tonight. Let me save some manuscripts and publish the new book at some time."

Whatever Lao Yi asked, Sun Quan answered.

Anyway, he didn't take the initiative to ask what Lao Yi wanted to say.

And Lao Yi didn't seem to be in a hurry, "Haha, okay! Good news! I've been looking forward to it for a long time. When your new book is released, I will definitely read it as soon as possible. I'm really eager to see it, haha."

Sun Quan: "Haha, okay, I will hurry up and do it as soon as possible!"

Lao Yi: "Well, don't rush, just follow your own pace. Well, by the way, the show "The Last Wish of the Dead" is currently in its first season, and there should be a second season, right?"

Sun Quan's eyes moved slightly and he smiled, "Yes! There is not only a second season, but also a third season. The script for the second season is almost finished and filming should start soon. Alas! Speaking of which

It’s something that bothers me too, and it’s probably going to affect the update of my new book again.”

Lao Yi: "..."

After a moment of silence, Lao Yi smiled and said: "Haha, you are just worried about happiness, so I won't comfort you. Well, salted fish! You see... your works in the past few years are all based on our starting point.

As announced, we should be considered to have an old cooperative relationship. I think you should know about the IP plan that the head office has vigorously promoted in the past two years, so... you can watch... the second and third seasons of this show.

, can you consider cooperating with our company? Well, I believe you also know the strength of our head office. In terms of funds, it is still very abundant.

Moreover, in addition to funding, we can help you with publicity, distribution, and other aspects. Our company should also be able to help you a lot. For example, before your show was launched this time, we helped you with the advertising we did from Qidian.

For example, if you appear in the name of our head office, you should be able to invite some big stars in the industry. Haha, how about it? Think about it carefully."

This should be the real purpose of Lao Yi's call today.

Sun Quan only listened to a few words and felt a little want to laugh.

A happy smile.

By the way, when the first season of the show was being prepared, he thought about getting together to work together.

After all, his novels have been published on Qidian. None of the game adaptation rights and film and television adaptation rights of his works have been given to Qidian. Qidian has made several matchmaking efforts to find interested companies and wanted to buy the copyright of his works, but they were all rejected by him.
