[BL] Accidental Mark

Chapter 71

The moment when the results were announced, it wasn't just the passersby who were surprised. The bosses of other platforms, investors, and actors of major IP dramas also felt incredulous! This was a 20 episode school online drama that made no splashes after the project was announced. During the filming, there were no hot searches and the leading actors were 18th tier actors who were unknown... how could it overtake the star-studded big IP dramas?

Many people made guesses. "The data is fake right?"

"It must be increased by using money. It's 20 episodes. One-click from beginning to end is 20 plays. If you get a water army to click it a dozen times, won't the viewing volume go out?"

Fans of other dramas were sour and even went to the official Weibo page to scold them. [It's too much for you to fake the data!]

Pei Shaoze didn't ask a water army to increase the water army. Folding Paper could reach hundreds of millions of views on a certain day because many viewers felt good watching it. They re-watched it or lent their account to relatives and friends. Part of the broadcast volume was really repeated views.

However, the thing that couldn't be ignored was that the number of new views for Folding Paper was also quite impressive.

Mr Liu simply wanted to hug Pei Shaoze and cry. In fact, he had faced great pressure when buying this drama. He was just the deputy manager in charge of procuring new dramas for the platform. If the result wasn't good then it would be hard for him to explain to the company's management. Now the performance of Folding Paper exceeded everyone's expectations. Just five days after it finished, the backend payment amount had reached 30 million!

30 million! Many online movies had to broadcast all summer to make this much money, while Folding Paper did it in five days after it finished airing! He couldn't believe it when his colleague in the data department showed him the records and he called Pei Shaoze immediately. "Overall, our Folding Paper is too strong. There are currently more than six million viewers buying the last 10 episodes and the backend has reached as high as 30 million yuan!"

Based on the profit share ratio, Pei Shaoze had recovered his investment cost and made a profit of 2 million yuan.

There weren't many investors in the circle who could recover the investment cost and make money from their first investment. Many investors testing the waters for the first drama would lose everything all the way down to their underwear. Mr Liu thought excitedly that his initial impression was really correct. Previously when talking to Pei Shaoze, he was convinced by this man's calm and confident look and signed the unprecedented 'box office profit share' model.

He thought Pei Shaoze would be excited as well but the man on the phone was still calm. "I checked the data. The traffic of this year's summer vacation is around 10% higher compared to last year. After the three dramas, Flowers in a Mirror and the Moon Reflected in the Lake Investment Elite, and Gene Project finishes airing, there will be a huge flow of viewers to our Folding Paper, and the revenue of this drama can be increased by a few times."

How many more times could it be increased? Mr Liu raised an eyebrow when he heard this and smiled. "President Pei, the Internet has been scolding us for increasing the data. Tonight, the Linghu TV official Weibo will reveal the backend payment rate and hit them in the face. Hahaha, just wait to see a good show! My guess is that the platforms that didn't buy your drama will be very angry. You don't know this but the number of registered users for Linghu TV in the past few days has increased by hundreds of thousands. It's all caused by Folding Paper!"

Mr Liu couldn't wait to rush and hug Pei Shaoze's thigh. Due to this drama, his year-end bonus would probably be doubled! As the fourth largest broadcasting platform in China, Linghu TV had been rushing to grab users from the top three. Their platform started late and the capital strength behind them wasn't as strong as the first three. The big IP dramas often couldn't be grabbed. Unexpectedly, an unknown school drama with just 20 episodes of sweetness would have such a terrifying influence!
