In the copywriting of Jiangcheng's promotion of the drama "The Beginning", it is repeatedly mentioned that "Nevernight Hou" is the screenwriter of this drama.

After all, in today's Qinzhou TV field, Bu Yehou is the guarantee of ratings. His name is even better than that of a first-line actor, and his appeal is comparable to that of a few super first-line superstars in the TV circle!

also……

The promotion also mentioned that "The Beginning" is the first TV series to be completely produced by Kunpeng Film and Television.

This is also the focus of attention from the outside world.

There are a lot of heated discussions surrounding this drama in the television industry.

"It seems that Kunpeng really wants to break away from the Big Three and make his own TV series, but without the various resources and top-level teams of the Big Three, can Kunpeng Film and Television's grassroots team produce a serious TV series?"

"Disaster!"

"Kunpeng's dramas are popular. On the one hand, the scripts are good. The strength bonus of the three majors cannot be ignored. It is difficult for a clever woman to make a meal without rice. Moreover, Kunpeng's drama is an online drama. According to the promotion, it is only planned to be broadcast on Kunpeng Video.

But Kunpeng Video only has a small market share, and the self-restriction of this channel is actually very detrimental to the spread of TV series, unlike the three major video websites, which have a huge number of users."

"I think so."

"Although the quality of Night Hou's scripts is usually not bad, and the director of this drama, Shi Xiujie, is also very good, after all, the smell of wine is also afraid of the alley. Kunpeng Video can't support a big hit exclusive now, can it?"

"There should be hope that it will explode."

"Don't forget that Kunpeng Video website had a hit before with "Unexpectedly". A good work can bring a lot of users to a video website, but how much it can bring depends on the popularity of the work."

"But that's a miniseries."

"Having lost the advantage of a miniseries that is short and fast, even if the quality of "The Beginning" is good, it will be difficult to compare with the popularity of the TV series they cooperated with the three majors, right?"

There is some controversy within the circle.

This is indeed a problem that is difficult to ignore. Just like there was an online drama in the previous life that was of high quality, but Tencent Video, iQiyi and Youku did not have the source of the film. Only LeTV can watch it. How many people would watch this drama?

Want to become a member of LeTV?

Not to mention that Kunpeng's team has only been established for a long time. Can the quality of its personnel be comparable to that of the three major players?

Even if it was a top-notch script like "Hurry Up", if it hadn't been handed over to Shinhwa for filming, it would have been difficult for most film and television companies to film it, right?

But this is a cliché.

The industry has been discussing this issue since the time of "Wonderful Unexpectedly", that is, will Kunpeng still be able to work without cooperating with the three major players?

Making films independently sounds good.

Just wanting to be independent is not that easy.

After successive successes in his previous life, Star finally came up with the idea of ​​​​going it alone. The first movie he wrote, directed and starred in was "Shaolin Soccer".

That movie was also under tremendous pressure at that time.

You must know that Star Master was already very popular at that time, but "Shaolin Soccer" was still not favored by the market.

It is simply because Stephen Chow has no independent directing experience, and many people believe that his success is inseparable from his old team.

Now Kunpeng Film and Television is facing the same situation.

…

Professionals and ordinary netizens look at problems from completely different perspectives. After the promotion of "The Beginning" started, the response online was still very good.

Fans of Kunpeng and Evernight expressed their expectation.

Although the cast of this drama is a bit poor, unlike those dramas cooperating with the three majors, it can directly cast first-line actors.

But the director Shi Xiujie is still quite awesome.

The screenwriter never waits at night, which is the greatest guarantee of the quality of the script.

only……

The interests of ordinary netizens are very average.

"It can't be said that I'm not interested. The main reason is that this drama is advertised to be broadcast on Kunpeng Video. I don't have a membership on this website."

"I have already signed up for Shinhwa and Nathan. I really don't want to sign up for Kunpeng anymore. But I can reluctantly accept to sign up for Tianguang Video. The monthly fee for this thing is more than ten yuan. It's a waste if you sign up too much.

.”

"The main reason is that Kunpeng Video has too few film sources."

“The three major video websites are still more selective.”

"Unless "The Beginning" becomes a big hit, I probably won't watch it."

"Why not continue to cooperate with the three majors?"

“The fact that Kunpeng Video is the only broadcast channel is really discouraging, although I personally understand Kunpeng’s desire to attract users to the website.”

"Kunpeng Video actually has a lot of content now. You can watch variety shows and TV series produced by Kunpeng."

"But I can basically watch it on the three major video websites."

…

Of course, Jiang Cheng is also paying attention to these discussions on the Internet.

After discovering that many people were resisting because they did not want to become members of Kunpeng Video, he quickly went to Lin Zhibai to discuss countermeasures.

"Kunpeng is still a little anxious about being exclusive now."

Jiang Cheng said helplessly: "How about we choose one of the three major video websites to cooperate?"

"Then how can we compete with the three major video websites for viewers?"

Lin Zhibai rejected this proposal and used Earth's video website as a benchmark:

If both iQiyi and LeTV can watch a certain drama, then more than 95% of people will choose iQiyi to watch it, right?

"But some of the responses in the industry and online illustrate the problem."

Jiang Cheng sighed, "It makes sense to say that the smell of wine is also afraid of deep alleys."

Lin Zhibai said: "Then let's watch the first seven episodes for free. You don't need to sign up for a membership, ordinary users can also watch it."

TV series on video websites usually offer two or three episodes for free. The drama "The Beginning" only has fifteen episodes in total. If the first seven episodes are free, Lin Zhibai is allowing everyone to watch half of the content without paying.

"OK."

Jiang Cheng thought about it and decided that it was okay. This wave was just a bet that the audience would be attracted by the plot of the show after watching the first seven episodes, and thus willingly become a member of Kunpeng for the next eight episodes.

After discussing the countermeasures, Jiang Cheng directly released the news to the outside world.

…

industry.

“The first seven episodes are free?”

"The promotion of this drama says there are only fifteen episodes in total, right?"

"Depend on!"

"Kunpeng really worked hard."

"But will this be useful? Don't let the chicken fly and the egg will fly."

"It's a bit like the thinking of online novels. Let me give you more free plots first. If you want to watch the follow-up, you should consider whether to subscribe."

"Nearly half of it is free. I don't know how many people will buy it for free."

…

Aurora platform.

Netizens were also happy.

Are all the first seven episodes free?

Good guy.

"Then I'll have to go take a look then."

"My little prince who prostituted himself for nothing is not a wasted reputation!"

"Run away after watching seven episodes. If you watch one more episode, I will lose!"

"Hahahaha, if you want to trick me into a trap, that's fine, but I will definitely get out of the trap before the eighth episode!"

"There are many prostitutes for free..."

"Mainly, for most TV series, I can't catch the end. I feel like I've just finished watching half of them."

"Yes, yes, just half of it is enough!"

"When will it be aired? It's free. If you don't watch it, you won't be able to watch it. After all, it's Kunpeng's drama!"

"Scheduled for October 1st."

…

Seeing the declarations of the prostitutes, the corner of Jiang Cheng's mouth twitched slightly, and many viewers planned to run away after watching seven episodes.
