Chapter 201: Chapter 201 We’re Now Influential! (Extra for Alliance Hierarch Wuoheng!) Chapter 201: Chapter 201 We’re Now Influential! (Extra for Alliance Hierarch Wuoheng!) “I thought with our friendship we could talk about feelings, but it turns out it’s still just business!”
“Anyway, he will always be the one and only prince of pork, suave and debonair, in my heart.”
Bald Extra: “Strength enough to uproot the mountains, spirit to cover the world…” Protagonist: “But times are tough, and my steed does not advance.” Bald Extra: “Ah Qi!” Protagonist: “Wenxi!” Bald Extra: “I’d prefer if you called me by my full name—Da Wenxi.” Protagonist: “No problem, Wenxi.” Bald Extra: “Thank you.”
Such amusing segments filled almost the entire script. Yin Chunyan had just finished watching the first episode and was already sprawled out on the couch, unable to get up…
“Hahaha, I’m dying of laughter,” Yin Chunyan said between laughs, “This author is definitely a genius! How did they come up with such an interesting script, hahahaha!”
Watching and laughing, laughing and watching, she quickly finished three episodes and was still feeling unsatisfied. She watched them again and then licked her lips contentedly, “It’s a pity there are only three episodes, sigh… well, let’s give it a like for now!”
She logged into her account to like it and was immediately stunned by the data below!
Views: 3,524,785. Likes: 115,474. Comments: 16,587.
“No way?!” tested Yin Chunyan, looking at the time, “It’s only been two hours, and it’s been viewed over three and a half million times?!”
She hurriedly scrolled through the comments—
“Classic from beginning to end! Haha!”
“I laughed so hard my stomach hurts, I love it every time I watch.”
“The whole thing is full of classic moments! That scene where they’re ** collecting debts is the best!”
“There’s another quote I really liked: ‘Luckily, I’ve got a part-time job, doing research at a mental hospital. What research? Being studied.'”
The more Yin Chunyan read the comments, the more she enjoyed them, but there was nothing she could do—the comments were just streaming in too fast. Eventually, she just watched it again…
Henglong Holiday Hotel.
“Hahaha, cheers, everyone!” The entire production crew didn’t know how many toasts they had made that afternoon!
It couldn’t be helped, “Domestic Agent” was simply too hot! Just two hours after its release, the views had broken three and a half million! More than a hundred and twenty thousand likes! And still growing rapidly! You could say it’s shooting up like a rocket!
And all because of one person!
The production crew’s Lucky Star, Wang Hao!
“Everyone, quiet down, quiet down!” Director Gao Mingxing pressed his hands down, and the room quickly fell silent. He looked around the crowd and said loudly, “This is the era of smartphones, and I believe you’ve all seen what’s happened. Our ‘Domestic Agent’ has achieved tremendous success! Just two hours! In just two hours, we’ve reached an impressive three and a half million views! A hundred and twenty thousand likes, over thirty thousand comments! And almost all of these comments are positive!”
The Henglong Holiday Hotel erupted in thunderous applause.
Not only the production crew but even the waitstaff joined in with applause.
Even if they hadn’t seen the show yet, the numbers alone told them that this piece was an extraordinary godly work—a must-watch when they got home!
“Now it’s three o’clock in the afternoon,” Director Gao exclaimed excitedly, “We haven’t even reached the peak traffic of prime time. I believe, at this current rate, our series will easily break ten million views in the first twenty-four hours! Twenty million! Even thirty million! Do you realize what this means? Let me give you a comparison, and you’ll understand. Last year’s ‘Number One Web Drama’ ‘Please Love Me More’ had twelve hundred thousand views in the first two hours and a total of ten million in the first twenty-four hours! That’s three times more—a full three times the gap!”
Again, thunderous applause filled the air!
The views were three times higher than the previous number one web drama!
This was no longer just powerful, this was total domination!
“And all of this is because of one person!” Director Gao shouted, “Tell me, who is it?!”
The entire production crew shouted in unison: “Brother Hao!” “Brother Ritian!” “Lucky Star!” “Mascot!”
I mean, could you guys not use those last two nicknames…
“Correct, our production crew’s Lucky Star, Wang Hao!” Director Gao laughed, “Now, let’s have Wang Hao, also known as Brother Hao, say a few words to everyone!”
“Ah? Do you really want me to speak?” Wang Hao was obviously stunned for a moment, before laughing: “Actually, I’m just an odd-job man. Teacher Li Fei, please have Teacher Li Fei speak, if not for Teacher Li Fei’s help this drama definitely couldn’t have reached such heights!”
“Cut the crap, I know you’re filial,” Gao Mingxing teased with a smile, “haven’t you seen Li Fei is so swamped with calls he can’t even handle them? Hurry up!”
Wang Hao glanced at Li Fei, who was enthusiastically making calls nearby…
Alright, it looks like he’ll be busy for a while…
“Well… I’ll just say a few words then,” Wang Hao was all kinds of helpless, ah. When he was in school, he was most afraid of these sorts of speeches by leaders. Every time it would make him so drowsy, and now he never imagined it would be his turn to speak…
“That, everyone,” as soon as Wang Hao got on stage, he was still a bit nervous, and after quite a long time he finally squeezed out a sentence: “Eat well and drink well, ah!”
Everyone looked at him, and the room fell silent.
Damn it, this script is wrong, isn’t it? Shouldn’t there be applause at this time?!
Wang Hao broke into a sweat: “Drink well and eat well, ah…”
Gao Mingxing: “Is that it?” Wang Hao nodded, “Ah, right, just two sentences, I’m done…”
Gao Mingxing: “Let’s thank Brother Hao for his brilliant speech, everyone, applause!”
Once again, thunderous applause rose throughout the hall!
The crowd congratulated Wang Hao with laughter and joy, and Li Fei was also frantically taking various calls—
“Ey, Boss Li, what’s the situation? Ah? You say my movie is good? Hahaha, it’s decent… Planning to invest? I tell you, the script for this movie, my apprentice really put in a lot of effort, it’s foolproof, yes! If there’s a chance, I’ll have him write one for you! Alright, okay, no problem, the character of this young man is beyond reproach, right, sure, sure, sure, let’s leave it at that!”
“Hey, Mr. Wang, hello hello, ah, there’s really no way, I’ve already taken over a dozen calls. Ah? Planning to find me to write a script? Ey, I’m really too swamped lately… How about this, my apprentice, right, the screenwriting assistant, a lot of the creative plot and dialogue in this film were his ideas, correct, correct, correct, like the opening line ‘Those melancholic eyes, the sighs amid the stubble,’ was his idea! En Cheng, no problem, when I’m free I’ll have him write one for you, guaranteed hit!”
“Hahaha, Boss Zhang, long time no see…”
He took no less than twenty calls in one breath and finally finished up. He exhaled with satisfaction, then returned to the dining table and slapped Wang Hao on the shoulder with a laugh: “Good kid, I indeed didn’t misjudge you back then! This drama, it’s a hit!”
Wang Hao grinned and hurriedly picked up his glass to express his thanks: “All thanks to the teacher’s guidance!”
“That smooth talk of yours could sweet-talk the dead! Come on, cheers!” The two of them downed a glass.
What made Li Fei most pleased was Wang Hao’s attitude toward him. Money could be made less of, but such a good protégé was not so easily found.
Li Fei said, “You’ve truly become famous with one drama this time. Just now at least twenty bosses wanted to invest in web dramas, and I’ve referred them all to you. You choose yourself later, go with whoever offers better conditions and themes you like, don’t be shy. I tell you, with the drama being so hot, you’re now a big shot! Know what that means? You gotta carry yourself with poise! The more poise you have, the more valuable your scripts will be!”
This is all experience!
Indeed, the choice I made back then was the right one. This way, we can all make money and share the benefits, and that’s how you can sustain!
Look, isn’t the effect apparent now? With the film being a hit and Teacher Li Fei’s endorsement, my worth would skyrocket even if I didn’t want it to!
“Teacher Li Fei’s experience is indeed vast, I have learned a lot!” Wang Hao offered another toast, then asked softly, “So teacher, how should I carry myself with poise?”
“Let me give you an example,” Li Fei began to impart his experience, “First of all, these next two days, for sure people will be looking for you to write scripts, right? You just wait without asking anything until they make an offer. Anything less than half a million, you don’t even bother with! One million, that’s so-so.”
“Ah?” Wang Hao was also surprised: “Can you really ask for that much?”
“What did you think?” said Li Fei, “With a drama hitting 3.5 million views in two hours, asking for a million in screenwriting fees is doing them a favor! But you’re still green, it’s not suitable to ask for too much at once, you need your next drama to be a hit, then for the projects you take, start at two million! After taxes! And no bargaining! Not even half a penny less!”
Wang Hao listened with stars in his eyes!
This is all money! Starting at two million! And no bargaining!
