Chapter 191 The Cooperation Between Starlight Entertainment and Weibo Technology
When Lu Ran got home that evening, he habitually opened Maoyan Professional Edition and glanced at the real-time box office of "Hero".
Today's estimate: 2317 million.
"Sword Rain in Jiangnan": 2054 million views.
Lu Ran stared at the string of numbers and remained silent for a few seconds.
This marks the third consecutive day that "Hero" has surpassed "Reign of Assassins" in daily box office revenue.
Although there is still a huge gap in total box office revenue.
"Reign of Assassins" grossed 15.3 billion yuan, and "Hero" grossed 3.8 million yuan.
However, this phenomenon of being closely followed by newcomers and having the gap between them narrowing is rare in film history.
Lu Ran recalled what he had said earlier:
"Hero" is like rice wine, which needs time to ferment.
Now it seems that this cup of rice wine is indeed getting too hot.
He opened TUTU and entered the "Martial Arts World: Discussing Swords Over Wine" circle.
The pinned post is still the same one titled "I think it's underrated," and it has already surpassed 800,000 likes.
The latest comment below reads:
"Returning from my fifth viewing. Each time I watch it, I gain new insights. The first time I focused on the plot, the second on the visuals, the third on the dialogue, the fourth on the eyes, and the fifth time... the fifth time I didn't look at anything, I just sat there and let the movie play."
The comments below were numerous:
"Is the original poster obsessed with this?"
"Obsession +1, I felt the same way when I watched it for the third time."
"So what's the magic behind this movie? I haven't seen it yet, please tell me."
"Go back upstairs and go see for yourself. Don't ask questions. You'll understand once you've seen it."
Lu Ran found it hilarious.
He thought of Zhou Zhixiong.
I wonder what the executive director of Starlight Entertainment is feeling right now.
...
Meanwhile, at the Starlight Entertainment Building.
The light was still on in Zhou Zhixiong's office.
He sat in front of the computer, staring at the data on the Maoyan professional version, his expression filled with complex emotions.
2317 versus 2054.
Hero won again.
Although the total box office is still overwhelming, the feeling of being constantly beaten down is really unpleasant.
Especially with his superiors and board members watching him every day, there will be considerable trouble if he wants to be promoted to vice president smoothly.
He recalled the afternoon's routine meeting and Wang Lei's sarcastic tone:
"Mr. Zhou, 'Reign of Assassins' has been overtaken again today. Should we consider extending the run for another month?"
He held back his anger and simply said calmly, "Total box office of 1.5 billion versus 400 million, who do you think won?"
Although Wang Lei didn't reply, his eyes were clearly mocking him.
Zhou Zhixiong sighed, turned off the peephole, and turned on the TUTU.
He didn't know why he clicked into that circle; maybe it was self-torture.
The pinned post is still the same one, and the comments below are all praising "Hero".
Occasionally, a few people would speak up for "Reign of Assassins," but they were drowned out by the praise.
Zhou Zhixiong grew angrier and angrier as he looked at the app. Just as he was about to close it, he suddenly received a message.
It was sent by Weibo Technology.
He clicked on it and saw that it was a collaboration invitation.
"Dear Mr. Zhou Zhixiong:
Weibo Technology plans to collaborate with your company to develop a casual game, tentatively titled "Weibo Farm." The gameplay is similar to a popular game on the market, but leveraging Weibo's 300 million monthly active users, we are confident in making it a new generation of national-level game.
If your company is interested, you may come to our company this Friday to discuss specific cooperation matters.
Looking forward to your reply.
Upon hearing the name, Zhou Zhixiong paused for a moment.
Recently, for some reason, he has also become obsessed with TUTU, and he knows that there is a very popular game called "Happy Farm" on it. When Zhou Zhixiong is under a lot of pressure, he likes to go on the platform to steal some vegetables.
Weibo Technology has now released a product called "Weibo Farm"?
Zhou Zhixiong instantly understood the whole story.
In the gaming industry, once a game becomes popular, a similar game will usually be released by competitors in a very short time.
However, most knock-off games can't compare to the originals and can only follow behind and get a piece of the action.
But Happy Farm is different; it's based on the number of users.
Weibo has over 3 million users, which is far beyond what Lu Ran's TUTU can compare to, and is not even a fraction of Weibo's user base.
The email was directed at Lu Ran.
Zhou Zhixiong smiled.
This is the first time someone has taken the initiative to come to Lu Ran's door, wanting to go against him.
Moreover, this person is from Weibo Technology.
Weibo Technology, with 300 million monthly active users.
This made him realize that he, Zhou Zhixiong, was not the only one fighting Lu Ran; Lu Ran's enemies were far more than just himself.
He replied quickly in the email:
"I'll be free on Friday, I'll visit then."
send.
Then he leaned back in his chair, stared at the ceiling, and a slow smile crept onto his lips.
Lu Ran, aren't you capable?
Don't you have a TUTU?
Don't you have Happy Farm?
Now, Weibo is entering the fray.
With 300 million users, we'll crush you even if we have to.
...
On Friday, Zhou Zhixiong arrived at the headquarters of Weibo Technology on time.
This 48-story glass curtain wall building, located in the heart of Beijing's CBD, is the global headquarters of Weibo Technology.
The lobby on the first floor was as spacious as a five-star hotel. Behind the reception desk was a full-wall LED screen displaying real-time Weibo data: 3.2 million monthly active users, 1.8 million daily active users, and 847 new posts per second...
Zhou Zhixiong stood in front of the screen and stared at it for a full minute.
Although Starlight Entertainment is a leader in the entertainment industry, it still lags behind these technology companies in terms of capital.
This is what a true giant is.
Compared to this, Lu Ran's TUTU's daily active users of ten or twenty million are simply insignificant.
Lu Ran, let's see if you'll survive this time.
