Entertainment: I just want to be the boss behind the scenes

Chapter 328: Always Living in the Shadow of Arclight Films
Li Qin regrets it now.

When I was in high school, I should have studied classical Chinese well, especially the "On the Six Kingdoms".

In order to maintain some peace for a few days, he agreed to make an "excessive request" by Meng Bai, and he even recorded the conversation and saved it as evidence.

She now experienced firsthand what it meant to "cede five cities today, cede ten cities tomorrow, and then have a good night's sleep."

The few times this guy was with me before, he always liked to play some weird "little games", but I had to refuse most of them.

This time he finally got the chance, and he must make the most of it.

Thinking back to those embarrassing words, Li Qin's cheeks couldn't help but blush. She was nervous and flustered, but she couldn't help but feel a little bit of anticipation.

No, no! Li Qin shook her head. If she continued thinking like this, she would have no time to think about the script and the role. That would be a waste of both money and money.

As for what Meng Bai will ask for... we'll talk about it when the time comes.

……

As the saying goes, every autumn rain brings a chill. After the National Day, it rained for several days in Landao, and the temperature dropped significantly.

Until now, I finally felt a little bit of autumn.

After three months and twice postponed, "Wolf Warrior 2" is finally taken off the screen.

In fact, by the middle of the first postponement, the film's box office potential had been basically squeezed out. The single-day box office fell to a million, and the screening schedule was compressed to single digits, so it could have been directly withdrawn from theaters.

But I don’t know how the relevant departments and theaters discussed it. On the basis of the postponement once, they extended the key for another month and forcibly dragged it to the National Day holiday.

However, the audience was not happy with the postponement this time. In one month, the box office revenue increased by less than 10 million, and the film rating also dropped.

Fortunately, it’s finally taken off the screen.

The final total box office of "Wolf Warrior 2" was fixed at 56.8 billion, undoubtedly topping the domestic film box office rankings and leaving the second place "The Mermaid" billion behind.

Not only that, according to the exchange rate, the movie's box office is equivalent to 8.5 million US dollars, ranking 72nd in the global film rankings.

This is the first time that a Chinese-language film has entered the top 100 of the global rankings, and it is based solely on the market of a single film.

Although some European and American film websites refused to put "Wolf Warrior 2" on the list on the grounds that "the Chinese film market is seriously inflated", this did not affect the attention of global film and television capital at all.

It is foreseeable that the world's second largest film market will receive greater attention in the future.

For ArcLight Pictures, the main benefit of Wolf Warrior 2 being taken off the shelves is that they can finally start calculating the box office revenue.

The investment of 2000 million brought a return of 2.2 million, which is the most profitable deal for Arc Light in the past two years.

However, because the film involves a large number of producers and distributors, and the calculation of the profit sharing of the "guaranteed distribution" is more complicated, this income will not be received until at least next year.

In the film industry, a group of colleagues gnashed their teeth and "saw off" Wolf Warrior 2; on the other hand, in the online drama market, many dramas that had been suppressed for two months also welcomed the finale of Day and Night.

As the main project promoted by Arclight Films this year, "Day and Night" truly demonstrated the style of "King of Drama".

From the beginning of the show to the finale, the show has maintained a high-starting and high-ending trend for two months. The ratings have remained above 9 points, and the amount of discussion and topic popularity have not decreased at all until the last episode was aired. In fact, because there are many unfilled plot holes in the ending, it has aroused more enthusiastic discussions among the audience.

[Hello everyone, can anyone explain to me, who was arrested in the end, the elder brother or the younger brother? ]

[Rather than wondering who caught it, I'd rather know if the fish I ate was a tiger (funny).]

[The story of the murder of the whole family has not been told yet, and the organization behind the murder of Daguan has only revealed its head. Mr. Meng Bai, I beg you not to follow the example of Uncle San and the old thief, and don't dig a hole without filling it! ]

[I still want to know why Tai Wei went from "Psychological Crime" to "Day and Night Chase", and what about Fang Mu? ]

[The above, didn’t the plot mention that a major incident happened to Tai Wei a few years ago? This should be referring to Fang Mu’s accident. ]

[I saw that the official Weibo of Arclight announced the movie project of "Psychological Crime" some time ago. That should be about this "big event". ]

【…】

The audience's discussion mainly focused on two aspects. One was the main plot of "Day and Night" itself, and the other was the interaction with "Criminal Minds".

After all, although the "Green Ivy Detective Universe" is well-known, this is the first time that linkage elements have appeared in the feature film.

In particular, the ending of the male protagonist "Fang Mu" in the "Psychological Crime" series has aroused the curiosity and confusion of many viewers.

As a result, the film "Psychological Crime: City of Lights", which is still being filmed, has also received great attention.
Both Meng Bai and Hu Guang are happy with this situation.

In other words, this is the effect they wanted to achieve, otherwise why would they have to broadcast the two dramas one after the other.

But the impact of this drama goes beyond that.

Just the day after the finale, the broadcasting platform Qiyi TV announced two news.

One is that Qiyi TV became the first video platform in China with more than 5000 million paying users, and the other is that it announced a strategic partnership with the American streaming giant Netflix to exchange and operate some drama content.

The first domestic web drama to be available on Netflix is the just-concluded "Day and Night".

A stone stirred up a thousand waves.

No one expected that online dramas, which have only been popular for three or four years, would go abroad successfully before TV dramas, which have been developed for 10 to 20 years.

But when we look at the production team of "Day and Night", we immediately feel that it is not so unbelievable.

Arclight's works, starting with the first "Green Ivy Series", have been praised by audiences as "comparable to American TV series". Another series, "Soul Ferry", has also been popular in East Asia, Southeast Asia and other pan-Chinese cultural circles in recent years.

Although many viewers often complain that Chinese dramas are not as good as those from the United Kingdom, the United States, Japan, and South Korea, in their hearts, who doesn't want their country's works to conquer overseas?

Now that we finally have a drama that can be "reversely exported", you can imagine how much enthusiasm everyone will have.

"Day and Night" had already broken the circle during its broadcast, and now it has expanded outward once again.

The producers of the web dramas that were aired at the same time and those that were newly aired are feeling really screwed. They thought their own traffic would increase after the other show’s finale, but they didn’t expect to still be living in the other show’s shadow.
