Xu Das.h.i.+ knew these things so well that he could a.n.a.lyze how many fans could pay for their series. Therefore, to be honest, he didnt expect the fans of these two people to be willing to spend money on their idols.

The most important thing was that the script itself was good enough to attract the audience. With a large audience base, there would always be someone willing to pay. Therefore, whether the series was popular or not depended on its script.

Guo Qingchen once again understood what Xu Das.h.i.+ meant. Kefeng Flims knew the situation about Gao Qiongyu and Li Hanfeis fans. And because of that, Nine Heavens was ranked behind Broken Continent.

Guo Qingchen asked, What did you expect? The sales all come from Guo Shaoyus fans?

Xu Das.h.i.+ said with a smile, All Im saying is that although Nine Heavens has Gao Qiongyu and Li Hanfei, in fact, they two are no match for Guo Shaoyu. Broken Continent is no worse than Nine Heavens. These two series are both produced by Kefeng. More than half of the cost of Nine Heavens is used to pay the actors, especially Gao Qiongyu and Li Hanfei, whose fees account for half of the capital. And the total investment was only 200 million, Xu Das.h.i.+ said.

But the total investment of Broken Continent was 750 million. Among them, Kefeng invested 550 million, Tanyue invested 100 million, and the remaining 100 million was invested by several other film and television companies, Xu Das.h.i.+ said.

Guo Qingchen was so surprised that he forgot that he should be arrogant at the moment. Is Broken Continent so expensive?

Xu Das.h.i.+ smiled and said, You didnt think it was just a publicity stunt before, did you?

Guo Qingchen was speechless.

Luckily, Xu Das.h.i.+ couldnt see his embarra.s.sed expression through the phone. However, even if he didnt see it, judging from Guo Qingchens silence, Xu Das.h.i.+ could tell that Guo Qingchen was depressed and a little embarra.s.sed.

The investment in Broken Continent is very high. Director Tan tried his best to reduce the cost of the actors fees and spent the money on the production. Its not that he couldnt find a famous actor or actress, but he wanted to make sure that the quality of the series is good, Xu Das.h.i.+ said, All that matters is that Kefeng has indeed invested much money in Broken Continent, much more than Nine Heavens.

If Broken Continent doesnt earn enough money, Kefeng will suffer a heavy loss, Xu Das.h.i.+ added. Compared to Nine Heavens, Kefeng has to make sure that Broken Continent doesnt suffer a loss.

Guo Qingchen replied, The high cost of Broken Continent is none of my business. It has nothing to do with Nine Heavens. Its not appropriate to reduce the promotion fee of Nine Heavens solely because of the high cost of Broken Continent. To be honest, if Broken Continent fails at last, even if it has such a high cost, it means that this series is not good enough, and it has nothing to do with the production cost. There are many examples of high-cost series failing. By the way, I dont care about whether Broken Continent will be popular. Nine Heavens is not supposed to make a sacrifice.

Originally, Nine Heavens didnt have to make a sacrifice in the first place, Xu Das.h.i.+ said flatly, Actually, we had already formulated a promotion plan for Nine Heavens, which was on the same level as Broken Continent. We were very optimistic about Nine Heavens. But unfortunately, the two series will be released on the same day.

Xu Das.h.i.+ added, Although they are both produced by Kefeng, to put it bluntly, the main purpose of Kefeng is to earn money. However, Director Guo, dont worry. Maybe the promotion fee for Nine Heavens is lower than that for Broken Continent for the time being. But things change, right? All that matters is which one is more popular.

Xu Das.h.i.+ comforted Guo Qingchen, Im sure Nine Heavens will be more popular. Actually, theres no need to promote it. The audience will be the best promotion. Nowadays, no promotion is better than the fact that the audience likes your series. Take Staggered Timeline, the series that just finished broadcasting last month, for instance. At first, no one believed that it would succeed. The first episodes broadcast volume was very low, but after the audience recommended it to their friends and family, more and more people watched it. In the end, it became one of the most popular series this year.

Guo Qingchen didnt fall for this trick. He said, The audience is surely very important, but we still need to rely on the promotion of the platform to attract the audience to watch it. Otherwise, no one will watch it. Who knows if it is a good series or not?

Director Guo, Kefeng will promote your series. Dont worry, OK? Xu Das.h.i.+ said slowly. He didnt understand how anxious Guo Qingchen was at the moment. In fact, Kefeng has already promoted it, although its not as good as Broken Continent.

Besides, like what I said earlier, we still have to see the results after the two series are broadcast, Xu Das.h.i.+ felt that his patience was running out, If Broken Continent fails, Kefeng wont keep promoting it. It needs to stop its losses in time. In that case, well have to see the performance of Nine Heavens.

Xu Das.h.i.+ threw Guo Qingchen a bait. If Nine Heavens is popular enough, then all the promotion resources of Broken Heavens will be tilted to Nine Heavens. And if Nine Heavens can make up for the losses of Broken Continent and even earn some money, that will be what the platform wants to see. In that case, Kefeng will spare no effort in promoting your next series. Oh, not just the next series. in the future, no matter which series you are competing with, it has to make way for you.

Listening to Xu Das.h.i.+s words, Guo Qingchen seemed to have already seen the scene where Broken Continent failed, and all the promotional resources were transferred to Nine Heavens.

The show hadnt even been broadcast yet, but Guo Qingchen thought that Broken Continent was sure to fail. He also knew that he wouldnt be able to get another answer from Xu Das.h.i.+ today.

It was impossible to cancel the promotion of Broken Continent today. However, like what Xu Das.h.i.+ had said, as long as Nine Heavens could surpa.s.s Broken Continent, the promotion resources would come back.

Guo Qingchen hung up the phone. He arranged for the publicity department to buy some top searches. He planned to set up the top searches at 8 p.m., when Nine Heavens started broadcasting.

Although Guo Qingchen already knew that it was impossible for Xu Das.h.i.+ to change his mind about todays promotion, he still couldnt help but enter the Kefeng video from time to time to see if there were any new promotions for Broken Continent and Nine Heavens.

However, at 7 p.m., he saw the Selected Series page of the Kefeng video. The small round window in the lower right corner was marked with the words Broken Continent, which was very obvious.

Guo Qingchen was curious. He wanted to know what kind of promotion this was, so he clicked on it.

A new window popped up.
