Episode 2, the mysterious boy!

The Demon Fairy Queen, whose makeup is exquisite but cannot hide her aging, gave Demon Fairy Xiao Lan a note box containing musical gems on her birthday, hoping to help Xiao Lan and Maggie Miyuki.

The three of them return to the human world!

A mysterious boy appears, and unknown forces have set their sights on the note box and music gem in Xiao Lan's hand, but Xiao Lan has no idea...

As a TV series, a coherent and smooth plot is a basic requirement.

The first two episodes of The Mystery of the Music Note are just a preparation for the subsequent plot, and there are no particularly intense conflicts or contradictions.

So, there is very little to see.

But this does not mean that the first two episodes are as bland as boiled water and have no appeal at all.

Although there is no conflict in the plot, the audience's curiosity has been aroused.

What abilities does this musical gem, which is highly valued by Xiaolan and repeatedly warned by the queen, have?

Who is the boy who suddenly appears?

What is the relationship between this guy and the mysterious woman hiding in the dark, silently peeping at Xiaolan?

The story of this episode perfectly echoes the title of the show The Mystery of the Notes. A series of puzzles unfolded around the musical note box sent by the queen.

Screenwriters are all out of context dogs!

In order to increase the ratings and increase the audience's enthusiasm for watching dramas, every screenwriter of TV dramas, especially TV series, is an outstanding out of chapter expert.

They will deliberately create a question at the end of each episode that makes the audience desperately want to know the answer. And the answer to this question is hidden in the next episode...

Then, the audience who fell into the trap unknowingly finished the entire drama.

Taomi is not good at screenwriting.

But she is the boss lady of PD, so there is no need for her to personally take part in such matters. Don't forget, Meng Zai maintains a large PD Screenwriter Group under his command.

With the help of the writing team, the plot of The Mystery of the Note is definitely full of ups and downs and twists and turns. Once you watch one episode, you won't be able to stop watching it.

so!

The audience retention rate for the second episode is amazing! The Mystery of the Notes did not disappoint and got off to a good start.

Although the reviews are mixed...

But PD dramas have never paid attention to reputation. Hundreds of people in the company all believed in Mr. Meng’s words: You can scold me if you want, but if you don’t, I lose!

The premiere got off to a good start, which made Tao Mi relieved.

But the next step is the key!

Just after the TV premiere, PD Films announced that Balala Little Demon Fairy: The Mystery of the Notes was successfully launched on Big Bird Video.

Users can pay through advance on-demand to watch the third and fourth episodes broadcast tomorrow night in advance, and even the finale!

The message area is full of question marks.

The audience was completely confused. Did they see the finale in advance? What kind of cool operation is this?

This just premiered, right?

How can any TV series premiere on the first day and then the online version immediately airs the finale? If you do this, will the TV station still broadcast it?

Some people suspect it is fake.

The TV station has only aired two episodes, but Big Bird Video has already launched all the episodes, including the finale!

How can this be?

It must be Uncle Meng’s stunt!

In the spirit of fighting counterfeiting, many people tried to pay to watch the third episode. I thought that the video page could not be opened, but unexpectedly it was successfully buffered and played!

And, it’s really the third episode!

It's actually true?

Even if the third episode can be watched, some people still don't believe it. Clicking all the way from the third episode to the tenth episode, all of them can be buffered and played.

Ah this...

Some were shocked, some were ecstatic.

Since the tenth episode can be played, there is no need to try again for subsequent episodes. Be bold and buy the finale directly!

As a result, I can still see it!

After the success of this experiment, it immediately caused huge waves on the Internet. No one would have dared to think that they could watch an entire TV series on the first day.

If this is true, who will be squatting in front of the TV in the future, watching dramas on time?

Are TV platforms really going to be wiped out by online videos?

No, no, no! It can't be eliminated!

Someone answered their doubts and said: This advanced on-demand program offered by Big Bird Video requires you to pay five yuan for each episode you unlock. If you want to watch it in advance, you need to pay more than 200 yuan!

I think most people are happy to spend money on a favorite TV series. But, are you willing to spend money to watch the show in advance?

This topic instantly detonated the Internet.

Although the big bosses and celebrities in the film and television industry did not speak, the onlookers were already discussing it lively.

Some people say that I can watch it without paying, but it is just a few days late. Meng Heizhu wants to make money from me, so go ahead and dream!

Some people also say that it is a good idea to not have to endure the torture of binging dramas but to watch them all at once and even see the ending.

But the fees are too ridiculous!

It costs more than 200 yuan to watch it in advance, but it only saves a month of watching the drama? Ask yourself, do you think it’s worth it?

It's definitely not worth it!

In my opinion, Meng Heizhu is just crazy about money! Why didn't he grab more than two hundred yuan?

No way? No one will really buy this kind of service that is obviously an IQ tax, right?

Sorry, I bought it! By the way, let me tell you that the scarf boy who appeared in the second episode is Omar, the son of Queen Halle. He deceived the musical note box and then cleared his name...

Spoilers will kill the whole family, okay?

Along with the online scolding, Big Bird Video also released a piece of data the next day.

In just one day, it collected 54.7 million!

This report card is really shocking.

No one in the entire film and television industry, including major video websites, expected that a small advance on-demand business could create such high profits.

Who is paying?

Just looking at the scolding on the Internet, I always feel that Big Bird's video is ugly to watch and has offended countless users. As a result, this result has proved their success.

Why?

Some people get angry when someone reveals a spoiler.

They all asked Big Bird Video officials why they had to pay extra to watch after they signed up as a member?

As the topic became more popular, many celebrities and big Vs expressed doubts one after another. Meng Lang also issued an official response to the matter on Weibo.

Before making this decision, we consulted lawyers and relevant departments. The advance on-demand model itself is not problematic.

“As for whether members’ rights have been infringed upon, have you ever heard about Big Bird Video members?”

Big Bird Video membership has been revised many times and is sold cheaper than its peers, only 10 yuan a month. In addition to skipping ads, ultra-definition bit rate and member dress-up, there is only one member-only video library.

Advance on-demand does not involve the above areas. Note Mystery is not a members only video either, so there are no hidden dangers.

Big Bird is not Aiyiqi.

iYiqi was sued for violating the rights of members and users. Among their member rights, the regulations of members can watch videos without advertisements and without restrictions are clearly marked.

Therefore, it constitutes consumer fraud.

And why do members of Big Bird Video sell so cheaply? It’s not because the rights are too high, you can only watch videos “without ads” but not “unlimited”.

Meng Lang's explanation was reasonable.

Although everyone is dissatisfied, they are well prepared and cannot find loopholes to attack.

But my friend next door was confused!

What?

Can't your member watch unlimited videos on this site? No wonder it sells so cheaply, sometimes no one buys it when it’s on sale!

Let’s take a look at our own membership rights…

It’s over!

Seeing that Big Bird Video is making a lot of money through advance on-demand, video websites that wanted to imitate this model are now confused.

what to do?

Their membership generally costs 15-20 yuan a month, and some even sell for 30 yuan.

Membership is expensive, and the benefits are naturally good.

No ads, no restrictions, everyone has it. If you want to imitate the advanced on-demand model, have you asked tens of millions of paid members?

…

Mr. Meng, have you watched the news?

Ma Teng couldn't laugh or cry: Several video websites have announced that they will upgrade their original video membership systems and change some terms, and users have criticized them.

The ship is in danger and turned around!

Meng Lang shook his head and said: In order to increase the number of members, they wanted to fill up all the membership rights. Now if they want to change it, I'm afraid it won't be that easy...

Don't talk about them!

The post-production of Nava is finished, but what about Li Tianming's score? When will it be ready?

this……

Ma Teng said with a bitter look on his face: I don't know! He told me two days ago that the theme song will be recorded soon, but when I called him today, no one answered the phone!

Not answering the phone is really awesome!

Meng Lang was speechless. Nava had done everything, but he got stuck on the soundtrack. If we delay it any longer, I'm afraid the Lantern Festival will be over.

How's it going over there in Shisen?

The filming has just started, and it's still early to finish filming! Ishimori said that Alien Girl 2 is not expected to premiere until the summer of 2024...

What about Li Wanbo?

'Godzilla' is scheduled to be released on New Year's Day!

New Year's Day? !

Meng Lang counted on his fingers and found that there were only a few days until the New Year.

Since Li Tianming has diarrhea, Nava will be unable to catch up for a while. Then simply stagger the schedule and let Godzilla take the lead.

The competition for the Lunar New Year stalls is fierce!

Godzilla's opponents this year should be the new film Happiness by the well-known New Year film director Feng and the military film Evacuation from Haitian Film and Television.

It's not a big problem to be happy.

This is a mid-cost comedy, and its subject matter does not conflict with Godzilla. Audiences who go to see comedies during the Chinese New Year generally will not go see Godzilla.

But the evacuation operation is a bit tricky!

Although I don’t know whether it’s true or not, this subject will definitely bring in the benefits of “high-ranking films and high box office”.

I'm afraid Godzilla will be in trouble!

Meng Lang's bottom line is a box office of 800 million. As long as it exceeds this number, Godzilla can make money.

But the current situation is not optimistic. If you want to get a bite of meat during the Lunar New Year holiday, you may have to reverse the evacuation operation first.

Honestly, it's hard!

The theme of Godzilla is naturally not suitable for the Lunar New Year movie. After all, who goes to the cinema to watch disaster movies during the Chinese New Year? What a monster disaster movie!

Isn’t this a brain disease?

It’s a festive day for the whole family, who doesn’t want to be in a good mood? Will you feel comfortable if you go to the cinema to watch the end of the world?

Otherwise, the release will be postponed?

Li Wanbo hesitated and said: I'm afraid there won't be much box office during the Lunar New Year period. How about moving it to after the Spring Festival?

Need not!

Meng Lang waved his hand and said: Godzilla itself is a commemorative movie, not for making money. Besides, the domestic box office is huge, but we also have overseas box office!

That's true...

Li Wanbo nodded.

China celebrates the Spring Festival, but foreigners cannot do it. Godzilla may have failed miserably at home, but it still has some power overseas.

So, it was decided.

The promotion and distribution of Godzilla focuses on overseas. Neon, Europe and the United States and other countries are full of Godzilla promotional posters and advertisements.

It’s New Year’s Eve in a blink of an eye!

Meng Lang stayed at home and spent a reunion year with his parents and children. Then early the next morning, I took my wife and children to the cinema to watch Godzilla.

There are so many people!

Tao Mi was surprised: I thought no one would watch disaster movies during the Chinese New Year! I didn't expect that there would be so many people!

This is just the premiere.

Meng Lang shook his head and sighed: After this show, there shouldn't be many people around. The main players at the box office have to look overseas.

He was right.

For the first Godzilla premiere, theaters everywhere were packed. But in the following few shows, the number of moviegoers dropped rapidly.

On the day of its premiere, the total box office barely exceeded 35 million, ranking second!

Then on the second day of the Lunar New Year, the box office quickly halved. The single-day box office was only over 18 million, and the weekly box office ranking has quickly fallen to third place.

There is gloom and gloom at home, but there are blooms everywhere abroad.

Since Godzilla was released on Neon, almost every venue has been sold out, and the box office has quickly accumulated to 1.9 billion yen. It has been called a horrible money-grabbing monster by many Japanese media!

It’s also fun to say!

Neon audiences already like this kind of monster disaster movie. Not to mention, the theme metaphor of Godzilla is anti-war and nuclear terror.

I would like to ask, which country has disloyalty in talking about nuclear weapons? Which country has a deep understanding of nuclear terror?

Needless to say!

If you don’t watch Godzilla, you’re not Neon Man!

Neon was a hit at the box office, not far behind in Europe and the United States. Cinemas in North America, Europe and other places also experienced miracles of 100% attendance.

The global box office has exceeded 100 million!

Unit, USD...

This achievement astonished the entire PD Group. So far, Godzilla is the best-performing movie at the global box office, if not one!

According to this trend, it should be a success if the global box office exceeds one billion US dollars.

It's a pity that China's box office is not good.

If the domestic box office is strong enough, Godzilla will surpass the Heroes series and become the highest-grossing PD movie in history.

What a pity, what a pity!

The Chinese people's perception of Godzilla is not to say they like it. Even the original Godzilla failed to conquer Chinese movie fans, let alone the PD version.

Meng Lang couldn't figure this out either.

Godzilla is so cute, why wouldn’t you like it? Does it have to be an Ultraman doing philosophical wrestling for you to like it?

never mind!

If you don’t like it, don’t like it!

The Waiguo people are stupid and have a lot of money, so Uncle Meng went to deceive them. Godzilla is so popular, it seems like there could be a soft plastic monster series?
