Honkai Impact 3rd: Join Anti-Entropy at the start and dominate the entertainment industry.

After all, these days, it's rare to see a kind-hearted person like Bai Qianqu.

Rita has watched quite a few online movies; some were excellent, but frankly, most were of very poor quality.

Some of them can't even be called movies. They have no plot, no acting, and are just a mess. They're just a bunch of internet celebrities messing around.

Yet these pieces of trash still manage to get a decent number of views.

It is clear that the barrier to entry for online movies is really low.

Rita had also seen "Crazy Stone" and thought it was pretty good. She said it had funny moments, and although it felt a bit quirky, it always made people laugh out loud, which was much better than those trashy movies.

Both emotionally and rationally, Rita hopes the movie will be a success.

So Rita called a friend who worked at Pilipili and told him what had happened.

There are many video websites in the world, among which the more famous ones are Douyin, Kuaiyin and Pilipili. Pilipili has the largest number of online movies, a large audience, and is relatively reliable.

Rita is very efficient and reliable.

She quickly finalized the cooperation agreement, and it was a non-exclusive, non-buyout arrangement, with her share of the profits not being too high.

When users click on a movie on Pilipili, the first five minutes are free, but they need to pay an extra 5 yuan to watch the full version.

Of the 5 yuan, Bai Qianqu will receive 25 yuan, and if it's exclusive streaming, she'll receive slightly more, around 3 yuan.

Of course, there are also advertising fees. If you include those, Bai Qianqu can earn about 28 yuan for each view.

Bai Qianqu couldn't understand these messy algorithms either, but that was pretty much it. The platform always took the lion's share, but even so, it was still slightly better than the cinema, and within Bai Qianqu's acceptable range.

Of course, in addition to Pilipili, Rita also contacted another video website called AnFun, which netizens call A-site. It is similar to Pilipili, but with slightly fewer viewers.

Soon, both parties signed a contract online and set the film's release date as May 20th!

This day doesn't have any special holidays, but it's anything but ordinary.

Because of the homophony of the date 520 in Chinese, many young couples like to go out on dates, go shopping, watch movies, and so on on this day.

Comedy movies are naturally the most popular among these young couples.

If you can't watch it in theaters, you can watch it online. Many young couples don't like going to the movies and prefer to watch movies together online at home.

This is the advantage of online movies: there's no need to queue for release dates; they can be released anytime, as long as it's suitable.

Setting the date on May 20th not only allows them to capitalize on the trending topic, but also provides ample time for promotion.

Even online movies still need a little promotion.

Otherwise, how would people know that you've made a new movie?

Online movie promotion naturally involves advertising online, through methods such as featured promotions and product placement.

Pixiv's promotion was simple; it didn't use any special promotions, but simply added a page to the homepage's scrolling ad bar.

The copywriting is also very simple: [Tianming's latest comedy film, "Crazy Stone," will be released on May 20th. Stay tuned!]

Compared to Pornhub, AcFun seems to place more emphasis on it, considering it's a film with an investment of over three million yuan, which AcFun doesn't have much of.

They gave it a prominent spot on the homepage with the tagline: "[S-level actress Fu Ningna makes a cameo appearance! The online movie 'Crazy Stone' premieres on May 20th, guaranteed to bring you a whole day of laughter!]"

That's how it is.

Since all the necessary information is available, those who are willing to pay attention will naturally do so, while those who are not interested will not come to view it no matter how much you promote it.

However, the two websites have similar promotional focuses: one emphasizes the "Destiny" brand, while the other briefly mentions the cameo appearance of S-level actress Fu Ningna, which can slightly boost traffic.

However, it was clear that Rita was not very satisfied with the result.

She felt that there was always a lack of buzz and a lack of sensationalism.

So she went to Bai Qianqu and Cao Dawei and explained the current situation.

"If we want the movie to be a success, we need more attention, but the current advertising is only getting a lukewarm response. This can't go on. What solutions do you two have?"

Cao Dawei pondered for a moment, glanced at Bai Qianqu beside him, and suddenly his eyes lit up.

"We might not have the buzz, but Teacher Bai does."

However, after glancing at Rita across from him, Cao Dawei hesitated to speak.

Currently, the only people in the production crew who know that Bai Qianqu is Qu Yin are Cao Dawei and Xavier. Both of them are very tight-lipped and can keep secrets.

The rest of the crew still think that Bai Qianqu is just a very talented new screenwriter.

Who would have thought that the person who had been sitting quietly in the corner was actually a prominent figure in the music scene?

Seeing Cao Dawei's hesitant words, Bai Qianqu knew what he was thinking.

So he took the initiative to say, "There are no outsiders here, so you can speak."

Cao Dawei breathed a sigh of relief and explained Bai Qianqu's identity to Rita.

Upon hearing this, Rita wasn't too surprised. Instead, she nodded calmly, as if it were expected.

Cao Dawei was very surprised: "You knew all along? Neither Xavier nor I should have told either of us."

Rita smiled and nodded: "The person who can produce so many excellent scores is naturally not an ordinary person. Moreover, as far as I know, Teacher Qu Yin and Director Cao had a meeting once. It seems that the ending of the movie you were filming was written by Teacher Qu Yin for you. By combining this information, we can make some basic guesses."

Cao Dawei looked as if he had seen a ghost, and shrugged at Bai Qianqu, as if to say:

Look, this woman is terrifying.

Rita looked at Bai Qianqu: "Teacher Bai, or should I call you Teacher Quyin?"

Bai Qianqu said nonchalantly, "Just call me Teacher Bai."

Chapter 351 The Composer Who Doesn't Do His Job

“Okay,” Rita didn’t waste any more time on the matter. “Mr. Bai, I think you understand what Director Cao meant earlier. We want to use your fame to promote the film. After all, a composer venturing into the film industry will definitely generate a lot of buzz and greatly increase our film’s viewership.”

Bai Qianqu pondered for a moment: "I don't have any problems with myself, but I don't want my current identity to be revealed. You can use my name for publicity, but can you guarantee that my appearance won't be leaked?"

Rita smiled confidently and said, "Please rest assured, we will personally negotiate with everyone who knows what you look like to ensure that it will not be leaked."

“However, there’s something I want to remind you of,” Rita said considerately. “If you want to enter the film and television industry, you can’t stay hidden behind the scenes forever. The film and television industry receives just as much attention as the music industry. Perhaps as a composer you can hide your identity for a long time, but as a screenwriter, there will always be people who try every means to dig you out. Moreover, you are both a composer and a screenwriter, so there will be even more people interested in you.”

Bai Qianqu nodded slightly; he understood Rita's advice.

It seems that I really can't keep my identity as a composer.

Let's find a suitable opportunity to expose it.

Sometimes, exposure is for better protection.

After all, I have two other aliases. If I expose one of my songs, the other two should be able to hide their identities better.

After obtaining Bai Qianqu's permission, Rita quickly contacted the heads of Pixiv and AcFun to inform them that Qu Yin was the screenwriter.

After being taken aback, the leaders of both sides immediately sensed an excellent business opportunity!

Composer becomes screenwriter!

This is breaking news!

And the other party's first film was even released on their own website!

This is like a pie falling from the sky and landing right in your mouth!

We must hold on tight!

Now, immediately, right now, we must spread this message as quickly as possible!

So that very evening, the promotional materials from both websites changed.

They all became official accounts on Twitter!

The copywriting has also completely changed, with the focus shifting from "Destiny" and "Funingna" to "Music"!

[The most mysterious and talented composer in recent years! A dark horse in the music scene! Qu Yin's debut screenplay, *Crazy Stone*, will premiere on this site on May 20th!]

This advertisement is obviously specially edited; the words "Quyin" are enlarged and bolded, almost bigger than the movie title "Crazy Stone," as if they're afraid people won't see them.

Below is a list of awards that Qu Yin has received, attempting to embellish his reputation.

The background poster has also changed. Originally, it was just a green stone with the faces of several main actors reflected on it.

Now it has transformed into a mysterious black figure holding a stone.

It was as if this mysterious person was Qu Yin herself.

Actually, it doesn't seem to have much to do with the content of the movie; it just emphasizes a sense of mystery!

These changes—from revising the copy and posters to placing it on the front page—show that both websites are indeed taking it seriously.

Cao Dawei could only manage a wry smile upon seeing this.

He originally did not intend to use Qu Yin's name.

After all, it seems a bit like a composer dabbling in filmmaking.

It's true that releasing it will generate discussion, but whether it will be positive or negative is hard to say.

After all, once something gains popularity, people will come and criticize it.

However, as the saying goes, even black and red are still red.

Seeing the rapidly rising popularity, Cao Dawei finally understood something.

No wonder some people like to use despicable means to attract attention, such as sex scandals, bizarre remarks, whatever is controversial, they will do it, even at the cost of self-deprecation and becoming a clown, just to gain traffic and popularity.

Being infamous is always better than being unknown.

Cao Dawei used to dislike this trick, but now he sees it and thinks, "Wow, it's really effective!"

Since the release of Qu Yin's name, the popularity of "Crazy Stone" has skyrocketed! In just half a day, it even made it to the top of Weibo's trending searches!

Bai Qianqu herself did not do nothing.

He logged into Qu Yin's Weibo account and posted a message after a long time:

The film "Crazy Stone," which I wrote and directed, will be officially released online on May 20th. Please look forward to it.

Below are several more pictures, all of which are behind-the-scenes shots of the cast and crew during filming.

Of course, all of this was prepared for him by Rita. Bai Qianqu was so lazy that he naturally didn't have a single photo on his phone.

Of course, Qianjian and Zhiyin also forwarded and liked the post immediately to show their support.
