However, for countless viewers and netizens who had just gotten hooked, the broadcast time of “the legend of the condor heroes” was not so pleasant.
Tonight is Thursday, and there will be no broadcasts on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, so the updates for episodes three and four will have to wait until next Monday evening.
Therefore, while netizens praised the show for respecting the original work and its excellent production, there was also a constant demand for more updates.
The most anxious about this was Tengfei Video.
This time, having learned from the experience with “little li flying dagger” last time, they negotiated with Yanjing TV, Jinling TV, and Tianxing Entertainment in advance.
The content of the negotiation was that the video platform could enable a feature for members to watch episodes in advance.
The two TV stations naturally did not want to agree, as if this was a hit show and Tengfei Video was given the right to watch in advance, how would their viewership be guaranteed?
Wouldn't all those who couldn't wait to see the Subsequent plot just flock to Tengfei Video?
However, Tengfei Video was very wealthy! Their bargaining chip was a 10% share of video advertising revenue for each station.
Including Tianxing Entertainment, they offered a 30% share of advertising revenue to gain the right for the video platform to offer early access to members starting from the second week, after ten episodes.
And Tengfei Video members could watch one extra episode daily on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays.
Tengfei Video was not foolish; they naturally knew how to retain users.
If all three hard-won episodes were released at once, what would happen in the following days?
However, the early access feature will only be announced next week, and it's still hard to say what kind of member growth it will bring to Tengfei Video.
When the clock struck midnight on February 1st, “iron blood loyal heart”, the theme song for the first installment of “the legend of the condor heroes”, also went online on time.
Along with this song, works from some musicians who had been suppressed for a long time also went online.
It was not easy for the first ten days of this month to be free of a “gods fighting” situation, so they naturally wanted to make good use of this opportunity.
Therefore, more than ten first-tier singers, and numerous second-tier and new singers, all released their new songs at midnight on this day.
But what they never expected was that the situation of “when the tiger is away, the monkey becomes king,” a weak competition, did not occur.
As soon as the February new song chart was released, their songs were mercilessly crushed by “iron blood loyal heart,” the TV series theme song.
They truly weren't even given a single day at number one!
Meanwhile, Han Jiangxue's new album, “at least i still have you,” also had its total monthly sales freshly released.
20.13 million copies! A very interesting sales figure.
Han Jiangxue thus truly ascended to become a queen of the music industry.
And this was the fourth album crafted by Su Yu to sell over ten million copies.
This made countless singers in the music industry dream of collaborating with Su Yu once.
Because whoever Su Yu chose would become immensely popular!
Even nurturing kings and queens of music, which they dared not even imagine, seemed to be just a matter of one blockbuster album.
On Friday, Tianxing Entertainment's stock price rose again due to the opening performance of “the legend of the condor heroes” and Han Jiangxue's album data.
On this day, Tianxing Entertainment's market value even directly surpassed the combined total of Giant Shark and Xingqun!
This shocked countless capitalists and stock investors.
The era of the four major entertainment companies in China's domestic entertainment industry finally became a situation where Tianxing Entertainment dominated.
However, Tianxing Entertainment clearly would not simply rely on the dividends brought by Su Yu and rest on its laurels.
On this day, they announced three pieces of news that surprised many entertainment companies.
News one: Tianxing Entertainment established Tianxing Cinema Line.
Currently, the first phase has twenty cinemas entering the renovation stage, with these twenty cinemas distributed in Yanjing, Modu, Yangcheng, and Shenzhen.
This news was not unexpected for some capitalists and entertainment companies.
Because after seeing “lost in thailand” break 1 billion at the box office, they also had plans to venture into the cinema line industry.
It's just that their speed wasn't as fast as Tianxing Entertainment's, and their moves weren't as big as Tianxing Entertainment's.
Establishing twenty cinemas in four super first-tier cities at once! Even if it's renting venues, it's not a small expense.
Moreover, Tianxing Entertainment also stated that this was only the first phase of the project!
Good heavens, how many cinemas would be established in the second phase?
News two: Tianxing Entertainment acquired July Digital Animation Studio and established Tianxing Animation.
This second piece of news made the capitalists and companies in the industry who were following Tianxing Entertainment's moves a bit surprised and unexpected.
After all, Chinese animation is very cold right now; individuals or corporate capital shouting about revitalizing Chinese animation have directly sunk after diving in.
Therefore, no entertainment company or capital is optimistic about the Chinese animation industry.
But they also felt that an entertainment giant like Tianxing Entertainment couldn't suddenly go crazy and venture into the Chinese animation industry.
What exactly was it that they couldn't understand? Was there some inside story?
And what in the world is July Digital? They had never heard of it before!
However, Tianxing Entertainment acquiring July Digital Animation Studio was not the most perplexing thing.
After all, many people know that there is a market for animation, it's just that domestic animation itself hasn't lived up to expectations.
If it can be done well, it will undoubtedly be another golden egg-laying track.
What they found most incomprehensible was Tianxing Entertainment's third piece of news.
News three: Tianxing Entertainment acquired the American special effects company Digital Domain, which was renamed Tianxing Special Effects, and its headquarters moved from Venice, California, to Yanjing.
Digital Domain is a well-known large special effects company on Blue Star, and its representative special effects works are renowned globally.
But in July 2012, such a leading company in the special effects industry declared bankruptcy.
This company was originally jointly acquired by two companies from Hong Kong and India for 30.5 million US dollars.
However, Tianxing Entertainment also saw this as a lucrative opportunity and eventually bought it for 34 million US dollars.
This special effects giant company went bankrupt not because its special effects were poor, but because the labor costs for special effects companies in Hollywood were too expensive.
Coupled with the constant exploitation by several major Hollywood companies and malicious low-price competition from rival companies, it regrettably came to an end.
In Wang Tianfeng's view, if the local special effects companies in the United States could unite, perhaps their special effects industry could survive longer.
However, these companies always thought about eliminating rival companies, then becoming the boss themselves and setting industry rules.
This led to a chaotic mess.
And Tianxing Entertainment acquired Digital Domain and set its headquarters in China, primarily because it saw that China's labor costs are very low.
Although Wang Tianfeng was reluctant to admit this, it was indeed an unavoidable topic.
Another reason was to cultivate local Chinese special effects technology and personnel through Digital Domain.
Originally, Digital Domain had over 3,000 special effects artists, but after the bankruptcy reorganization, Wang Tianfeng only retained over a hundred who were willing to come to China for development.
These more than a hundred people were all willing to share their technology.
After all, would they clearly understand the purpose of Tianxing Entertainment, a Chinese entertainment company, acquiring them?
