On the night when "The Truth of Silence" was launched, although it was not yet time for it to go online, many people were already waiting early.
Instead, they are not fans of anyone, but as fans of suspense dramas.
In the past, although there were many audiences who like suspense dramas, they were actually a minority. However, since the two dramas of Hedu Company’s Suspense Theater came out, the number of audiences in this part has become increasingly large.
There are even a lot of related forums and topics, and some of the classic film and television works in the past have also rejuvenated their second spring.
This time, everyone has high expectations for the drama "The Truth of Silence", because like the previous two suspense dramas that have received many praises, there are also screenwriters, producers, and even guest appearances in it.
The theme is still close, and everyone wants to know how this "The Truth of Silence" can make a breakthrough compared to the previous two dramas.
After all, although the themes are the same, they are all suspense dramas, the previous "Undocumented Crime" and "The Secret Corner" each have their own characteristics.
Of course, many media have also stated that because the two previous dramas in Hedu made everyone's expectations too high, it may lead to the drama not reaching a very high level in the end. As long as it appears a little mediocre, its reputation will probably be even more powerful than other similar dramas.
Although many people think that it is impossible to write a bad story based on He Du's level of screenwriter, He Du is not a director or a starring actor after all, and the uncertainty factor is very high.
There are many people who have been watching in the dark and want to see the third drama of Hedu's suspense theater this time.
Many people think that it is because of these two dramas by He Du that have made everyone's tastes difficult, so some dramas that should have performed well will eventually lead to poor results or even losses.
Although this reason seems unreasonable, it really makes sense.
On the day "The Truth of Silence" was launched, in addition to this drama, many other suspense dramas chose to avoid it.
There was even a large gap in this period.
Many people hope that the drama of Hedu Company will fail? But they are reluctant to meet it? Many past cases tell them that the drama of Hedu Company is too lethal.
Dramas with good quality would not take such risks? Not to mention those dramas that are actually making money.
At this time, on major video platforms, everyone attaches great importance to the launch of "The Truth of Silence".
Although they only have 10% of their paid income, He Du did not ask for the so-called copyright fees? After all, they are equivalent to making money.
And other platforms are promoting it? If they don’t promote it, people would think that the show is not online on their platform, and the number of users that have lost such a lot may be quite large.
What's more, one more paid user is real money.
So when "The Truth of Silence" is about to be launched? Major platforms are also working hard. The promotional methods are varied in order to make their own platform the first choice for the audience to watch dramas.
The results of Hedu’s two dramas were there before. They also watched the entire series of the drama "The Truth of Silence" in advance. Naturally, it was clear that the chance of a car was pitifully small.
Most people even think that this drama will have a great reputation again, becoming the highest-rated one of the three dramas.
In fact, although the forms of paid dramas are becoming more and more common? Many producers cannot get such good publicity conditions on these platforms, and they will not choose 91 share shares like Hedu Company in terms of share shares.
And He Du? But they dare not put forward any idea of changing the proportion, and they cannot even offend it? After all, Du Film and Television's dramas are available on multiple film and television platforms now? Du Film and Television is unhappy? If they do not place new dramas on their platform, the direct and indirect losses will be huge.
In the past, there were still many platforms who wanted to take the exclusive broadcast rights of the Du Film and Television drama, but now no one has such an idea, because Du Film and Television would not be willing at all, and Du Film and Television also has greater ambitions, which many people can see.
Fortunately, the principle of "Hodu and Liuyuan" is to try not to offend others, as it is best for everyone to live in peace.
So even if you give up some interests temporarily, Du Film and Television has basically achieved equal benefits.
Even though Wang Yufei from Penguin Video joined He Du's company, there was no sign of the two sides becoming enemies because of this.
Because Wang Yufei let it go, she didn't mention this matter at all, and Penguin was in a position of fault, so she wouldn't say anything more.
If Wang Yufei was dug up, it might be another situation.
But Wang Yufei suffered a grievance at Penguin and resigned, so she didn't talk about it.
Speaking of Wang Yufei, although she was notified of the holiday not long after joining He Du's company, she asked her to go home directly and come back after the New Year.
But in addition to finally having a good New Year, she also thought of many plans related to Hedu's own video website.
After returning from the annual leave, he received a very detailed plan for Liu Yuan and He Du.
Adhering to the idea of letting professionals do professional things, He Du and Liu Yuan had no intention of random command and directly delegated power to Wang Yufei.
Du Film and Television is only responsible for providing funds and some support, and even most of the employees in need, and directly asked Wang Yufei to recruit himself.
This made Wang Yufei feel particularly free. It was not like when she was in Penguin Video, even if she became the person in charge, there were still many different opinions below, and even disobeying the emperor.
The kind of quarrel that was obviously unnecessary was like deliberately looking for trouble, which made Wang Yufei endure for a long time. Now she is glad that the incident that she was framed at the beginning happened. Otherwise, she might have naturally fallen into the quagmire of Penguin Video and could not leave, but she was exhausted every day for some things she didn't want to deal with.
However, because Du Film and Television did not have any experience in building video websites and there were no employees in this regard in the company, it was basically equivalent to starting from scratch.
It takes a long time. It is estimated that the most basic assumption cannot be completed after the launch of "The Hidden Corner" at the moment, or even the subsequent launch of "White Night Chase".
Moreover, Wang Yufei doesn’t want to create a very bad platform and product. At present, film and television websites and related apps are still a long time before they are officially launched.
He Du and Liu Yuan were not anxious about this, because this was the plan that the two suddenly thought of, and the company also had time to wait slowly.
Even according to He Du's idea, this website is mainly for its own company. It is normal that there is not much reaction at the beginning. When the company's film and television works increase in the future, the website will be able to show its influence.
This is also the emergence of paid on-demand online drama broadcasting, which made He Du think of building his own company's website because more and more dramas appeared. The fact that He Du felt that there was no need for video websites was started early with Liu Yuan's suggestion.
Speaking of the day when "The Truth of Silence" was launched, compared with the previous two suspense dramas, the number of paid users in the previous hour has increased significantly.
Perhaps because of the accumulated reputation, many viewers trust the quality of Du Film and Television's works, so in a very short time, they basically chose to pay without much hesitation, and some even chose to buy the whole drama at one time.
This "The Truth of Silence" is actually not a very traditional suspense drama, because for some suspense drama fans, they can roughly guess the ending when they see less than half of it.
But they are still willing to watch it because of the shock and inexplicable touch that this drama brings.
In the casting process, Zhuo Chi, the director of "The Silent Truth", actually spent a lot of effort.
After reading the script given by He Du, the first thing he thought was that many of the characters in this drama had no low requirements for acting skills.
Finally, because of Zhuo Chi's own efforts, he actually found the famous acting actor Xu Kailai to play the detective Yan Liang.
After reading the script, the other party agreed without thinking. At the beginning, the role Xu Kai wanted to play was Jiang Yang. Because the charm and room for play in this role were too great, so any actor wanted to play the role of Jiang Yang.
But because Xu Kai's skin is bronze and he is a slut or tough guy, he is indeed far from Jiang Yang, who looks pretty in the play, so Xu Kai can only regretfully give up this idea.
As an actor who won the Chinese Film Award for Best Actor, the role of Yan Liang naturally has no big problem for Xu Kai.
What stumped director Zhuo Chi during the casting process was Jiang Yang, the most critical character in the play.
In Zhuo Chi's opinion, the most suitable actor is actually Hedu. Hedu's image is suitable, and his acting skills are not a problem.
The most important thing is that this story was originally written by He Du, and his understanding of the characters in it must be the most thorough.
But Hedu was unwilling to do so, so he had to find another actor in the end.
Finally, I found an actor who was so excited that Zhuo Chi was very suitable during the audition, but I found that the other party had a contract, which was the so-called actor who was refrigerated by his own company.
And it's the kind of actor who hasn't become popular and is refrigerated.
So the result is that after Zhuo Chi told He Du the news, the company went directly to the other party's original economic company to negotiate.
In the end, the other party sold Hedu's face and agreed to terminate the contract. He did not make any difficulties, but he also charged millions of termination fees.
So after discussion with the refrigerated actor Hu Kun, the money was considered the other party’s pay.
Although as an actor who is not famous at all, the pay is a bit high, Zhuo Chique didn't care about this, anyway, the budget is sufficient.
In the words of Li Jiepeng, the ultimate goal is to make good works, and there is no need to worry about the details.
The money that seems to be spent now is not worth it, and after the work is released in the future, it will always be rewarded in another invisible way.
Li Jiepeng also said that this was realized in He Du.
If He Du knew about it, he would probably be confused on the spot and give him a thumbs up, praising Li Jiepeng's magical brain-repairing ability.
No matter what, the actors' problem took a certain amount of time and even agreed to borrow from the crew of other companies, Zhuo Chi actually found the group of actors he thought was the most suitable one.
He has confidence in this drama because the story itself can bring people a different feeling.
When there were several scenes filming, Hu Kun used his acting skills to make many people on the set feel breathless after watching it.
Although there are no relevant comments on the Internet, Zhuo Chi is still very relieved when he sees the number of paid people and views rising online.
He also found it very strange. He actually graduated from college at the time. As a director major, he actually faced quite a lot of opportunities.
But because he heard that He Du had set up his own studio and was preparing to cross-border movies, and he himself liked He Du's songs very much, he went for an interview by chance.
Finally, he became a member of the original [Du] Studio and the crew of the movie "Youth".
Later, Zhuo Chi discovered that the legendary thing is just a hobby, but it seems very professional, and he has improved his own abilities very quickly.
So he, one of the director assistants at that time, soon became convinced.
Then, under the leadership of He Du, the studio seemed to be cheating, and more and more people in the studio were, and now it has become a formal film and television company.
As for Table Pond, if someone told him before that he could make such a drama as a director three years after he graduated, no one would believe it.
In his opinion, "The Truth of Silence" will definitely become a classic when it is filmed.
The shocking feeling that Zhuo Chi had after reading the script written by He Du really made him never forget it.
It was then that he understood what Li Jiepeng said before that Hedu Studio is different from other companies, because Hedu is not a capitalist as the boss, so everyone gathered together for better film and television works, not just employees and bosses, nor just for so-called money.
Judging from He Du's decision step by step, it seems to further prove what Li Jiepeng said.
Zhuo Chi is ready to go all the time in the future to shoot better film and television works with everyone.
Although he has not been poached yet, the directors whose other dramas have been launched have been harassed several times.
But he believed that after all, "The Truth of Silence" was only launched, but there will definitely be one.
Of course, they will not agree. Can other profit-oriented companies compare with Du Film and Television?
What's more, many companies actually can't even meet the conditions given by He Du, and they even come to poach people, and they don't know where to get confidence.
Shaking his head and looking at the active people in the main creator of "The Silent Truth", Chenchi no longer thought about this, but began to discuss whether he could break through the number of people paid for the first two dramas in 24 hours.
