Chapter 29: Overseas Performance of "Detective X"
Penguin Video (international version) has a core user base selected from around the world, with a high rate of paid subscriptions and a high willingness to pay.
Penguin Video (domestic market) faces a market with a much larger user base and a higher proportion of free and low-barrier users.
The difference between the two can be compared to 7 o'clock and a tomato.
Of these, viewers from the cherry blossom region contributed nearly 40% of the effective viewership.
Detective X is a hit in the cherry blossom region!
Lin Yi focused his attention and carefully checked the valid play count from the cherry blossom region.
4431557.
With over 40 million views, the average effective viewership per episode exceeded 733 million, and the first two episodes (the first case) garnered over 10 million views.
"How many users on Tencent Video (international version) have their IP addresses in Sakura?" Lin Yi asked.
Fu Mingyang checked online and found that the latest data released by Tencent Video was from last year, at about 1200 million.
With 12 million users, the first two episodes generated over 10 million effective views, covering more than 80% of the audience.
That's an exaggeration.
Even if the core elements of "Detective X" are mainly taken from "Detective Conan" and "Death Note," which have already been verified on Earth in the Sakura region, the proportion is still too exaggerated.
There is another possibility.
Remove all the impossible factors, and whatever remains, however unbelievable, is the truth!
Detective X brought millions of users to Tencent Video (international version) in the Sakura region.
The popularity of "Detective X" in the Sakura region may be more than just a hit.
It has the potential to replicate Conan's feats in the cherry blossom region and become a phenomenal IP.
Lin Yi tapped his fingers lightly on the table and instructed, "Contact Tencent Video and ask for their recent user growth figures for their international version in various regions."
"Okay." Fu Mingyang nodded and noted it down.
Lin Yi continued to review the report.
Detective X has also achieved good results in Oceania and Europe.
The former has a total of over 10 million effective views, while the latter has over 30 million.
This data isn't particularly outstanding, but it's still acceptable.
With the continued airing of "Detective X", it won't be difficult to convert a group of loyal users in these two regions.
but...
Lin Yi's brows furrowed involuntarily.
If the report used Arabic numerals instead of Chinese characters, he would inevitably have to count them all over again.
Detective X was met with a lukewarm reception in the Americas.
No, it's not as simple as just being met with a cold reception.
Lin Yi carefully examined the report and discovered the truth.
The first two episodes of "Detective X" garnered over seven million views in the Americas, but the number of views plummeted starting with the third episode.
The report includes Tencent Video's explanation of this aspect.
Recently, major video platforms in China were targeted and forced to shut down in the Americas.
Detective X was caught in the crossfire.
Lin Yi shook his head and sighed helplessly.
In that level of competition, he could only accept his bad luck.
Finally, there is a public opinion issue concerning "Detective X" that needs to be addressed.
Murder on the Orient Express
This unit has sparked some controversy in the Russian region.
Here's a recap for you readers.
The Blue Star version of "Murder on the Orient Express" is set on an international train that crosses China and Russia.
The victim in the case, Raichert, was a Russian who had participated in a major train robbery between China and Russia five years before the story took place.
He was arrested by the Xia State police in Russia, but was handed over to the Russian authorities due to the principle of personal jurisdiction.
Later, Reichert used loopholes in Russian law at the time to escape legal punishment.
Some believe that the creation of this character in "Detective X" is intended to smear Russia.
Therefore, this group of people spontaneously organized to boycott "Detective X".
Yes, Ratchett is indeed fictional, but similar events and figures exist both on Earth and on Blue Planet.
After reading it, Lin Yi scoffed.
He remembered a joke.
A: He blacklisted XXX.
B: What did he say about XXX?
A: He recounted what XXX had done.
"Let's coordinate our messaging with Tencent Video and emphasize the objectivity and logical consistency of the story's background."
This is based on a real legal procedural loophole at the time, and this loophole is key to driving the plot, not to belittle it.
"Let Tencent Video's public relations department step up its efforts."
Lin Yi gave the instructions.
While some of the malicious smears against Russia are absurd, they cannot be ignored.
If something is false and repeated a hundred times, it becomes true.
...
The cast and crew of "Battle Through the Heavens".
On a nanny van.
"Sister Su, what do you think of this part of the plot? If we adjust it like this, wouldn't it make the characters more well-rounded and the dramatic conflict stronger?"
Li Ming massaged Su Qianyao's shoulders and back while pointing to the script and speaking.
Su Qianyao, screenwriter of "Battle Through the Heavens".
Under the screenwriter-centric system, apart from the original author of "Battle Through the Heavens," she was the most powerful person in the production team.
Coincidentally, the original author of "Battle Through the Heavens" was in France researching for inspiration for his new book.
Su Qianyao frowned slightly.
She doesn't like people interfering with her scripts, but...
Oh well, it's just an adaptation anyway, not something I wrote myself.
"Okay, let's shoot a version and see how it goes."
...
A few days later, Yu Nuannuan's endorsement deal with Xuecheng Taro Boba Milk Tea was finalized and an announcement was made.
A few days later, at the Syracuse signing ceremony, in the backstage dressing room.
"That's outrageous! Sister Nuannuan, look at this!"
Gu Xiaoyu angrily held up the tablet in front of Yu Nuannuan.
The screen displays several newly published entertainment marketing articles with similar titles and content, seemingly making objective comparisons but actually subtly disparaging each other.
Former pop star Yu Nuannuan's comeback single, "The Seventh Chapter of the Night," couldn't compete with the contemporary ballad hit "Glimmer in the Rainy Night."
Is it a case of creative burnout or market forces at play? Yu Nuannuan's new song receives mixed reviews, with listeners preferring Liao Yuzhu's gentle and healing style.
[“Glimmer in the Rain” continues to dominate the new song charts, while “The Seventh Chapter of the Night” remains unshaken]
It's not that "The Seventh Chapter of the Night" is inferior to "Glimmer in the Rainy Night," but rather that Yu Nuannuan is not as good as Liao Yuzhu.
"This Liao Yuzhu is clearly hiring online trolls to smear and discredit us!" Gu Xiaoyu's chest heaved, she was furious.
"Her new song is ranked one place ahead of ours on the new song chart, but what does that prove?"
"Everyone knows the tricks involved. We release it on all platforms, while she releases it exclusively on Tencent Music. The coefficients are different on both sides."
Yu Nuannuan sat quietly, letting the makeup artist continue applying her makeup, without saying anything, only her eyes dimmed slightly.
Although Gu Xiaoyu had been with her for three or four years, she still didn't know enough about her early life.
Before Yu Nuannuan debuted, she participated in a music talent show, where Liao Yuzhu was one of the judges.
During the recording of the program, Liao Yuzhu offered some suggestions on her singing style and methods.
Yes, Liao Yuzhu's suggestion is very pertinent and she did not mean to suppress Yu Nuannuan.
but...
