Chapter 176: Only one dollar? Go...

骂！
Overwhelming scolding!

The curses were overwhelming and infuriating to the point of angering both humans and gods!

Netizen Xuanse Tiankong: Did the Penguin executives have a brain burnout? Did Shen Lang get kicked in the head by a donkey? Filming this kind of thing, interviewing, what do you think?

Yonghe Huang Xinyou: My wife asked me before going to bed last night if I had ever charged a woman for a night out...

There is an Ocean in My Brain: It is recommended to boycott this kind of crappy movie!
"Xingxing Entertainment" published an article: "Shen Lang obviously has the talent of a screenwriter, but he chose to make money with a rubbish script! Penguin Pictures, which has just started to pick up, may be doomed..."

Interview with Zhang Yimou: "Excuse me, Director Zhang, I heard that you were going to collaborate with Shen Lang on a new play a few days ago? I have Mr. Shen's phone number here, how about I give it to you..."

"Really? You media outlets just like to spread rumors. I admire Shen Lang very much, but I have too many scripts to film and I have no plans to cooperate with Shen Lang for the time being!"

"..."

Penguin Pictures, inside Tang Haibin’s office.

Looking at the overwhelming comments on the Internet, Tang Haibin also had sweat on his forehead.

He looked at the company executives in front of him and wanted to say something, but when he saw Shen Lang's indifferent expression, he took his words back.

At this moment, his phone rang.

As soon as he saw the caller ID, he quickly stood up and walked to the inner room of the office.

After a while, Wang Jian, Chen Wu and Shen Lang outside heard Tang Haibin's respectful voice coming from the inner room.

"Professor Ma, yes, that's right, it's a new form of TV series that we've just tried out!"

"Yes, it was Teacher Shen, no, it was Minister Shen's suggestion. I think it's pretty good! Well, don't worry, as long as you support us, we can withstand any pressure!"

"Okay, I'll observe and if it doesn't work, I'll cut it off!"

"Okay, okay, thank you for your concern! Okay, I'll report to you in person next time I return to the group!"

……

When Tang Haibin came out from the inner room, he said with a complicated expression: "Just now the group boss called to inquire about this matter personally..."

Wang Jian quickly asked, "What does Professor Ma mean?"

"He encouraged us to explore and try out new film and television models, and also gave us some time to see the market reaction!"

At this point, he looked at Shen Lang and said, "But based on my understanding of the boss, this time won't be too long!"

Chen Wu smiled and said, "Teacher Shen, you may have just come to our Penguin and don't know much about the operation mode of Penguin."

"Our group's top management is not afraid of employees making mistakes, but after all, the group is not a charity. The first lesson every listed company must learn is to stop losses in time."

"This is not a small studio... If you make a mistake, it will only cost you one or two million..."

Before he could finish, Shen Lang interrupted him and asked, "Mr. Chen, did I make a mistake?"

"Of course, look at the things you took..."

"Look at the overwhelming abuse on the Internet..."

“Doesn’t this explain the problem?”

"Teacher Shen, I know that everything has been going smoothly for you since your divorce, but how can life always be smooth sailing?"

"You listen to me..."

Seeing that Chen Wu was getting more and more outrageous, Tang Haibin coughed twice and said, "Minister Shen, don't feel any psychological pressure. This little investment is nothing for our company. The leader didn't say you did anything wrong..."

Shen Lang nodded in boredom and said, "Is the playback data out?"

"Out!"

"The number of moviegoers was 7.8 million!"

Seven million eight hundred thousand!
It can be said that if this result were put on the big screen box office, it would definitely be a great result.

But you have to know that the number of APP downloads exceeded 12 million yesterday.

Nearly eight million people used the APP to watch the first episode of "Mr. Shen", which can be said to be reasonable.

But the first episode was free and the company didn't make any profit.

The key lies in the number of paid viewers for the second episode.

Wang Jian asked with concern: "Have the download statistics been compiled?"

Tang Haibin picked up the phone and dialed a number: "Well, are they all short?" "Okay!"

After hanging up the phone, he said to the three people: "The APP has 600 million new downloads!"

Hearing this number, Shen Lang nodded: "Not good, not bad either! Everything depends on tonight!"

There were 12 million downloads yesterday, and 6 million more today, which is 18 million in total.

However, it is impossible to count the number of people who delete the app after downloading.

Therefore, Shen Lang estimated that the 18 million could only be calculated based on one third of the data.

That is six million.

The paid version of the second episode will continue to drop, and the six million retained will continue to fall.

According to conservative estimates, a revenue of four million from the second episode would be considered pretty good.

Pretty much as expected.

Shen Lang can calculate, so can’t anyone here do the same?

Everyone knows that this play is a sure win.

But everyone is measuring a balance.

The word "Penguin" is worth more than just a few million.

If the ideal returns are not achieved, even if a small profit is made, the company's reputation will be ruined, which is not worth it!
……

At eight o'clock in the evening, before the second episode of "Mr. Shen, your vest has fallen off again" was updated.

Women's restroom!

In the squat toilet cubicle, gossiping from a distance...

"Did you watch the play produced by Shen Lang at 8 o'clock last night?"

"Look, look!" The voice next door suddenly became louder, "The male lead is so handsome, Shen Mingxiu is so handsome!"

"Yes, yes. The key is that the heroine looks very sunny and her little expression is very cute!"

“I heard he’s a professional actor!”

"It's said online that the director is Peng Mo!"

"Who is Peng Mo?"

“The director of ‘Charlotte’s Troubles’!”

"I told you, even though it's just a short play, it looks so professional! The lighting, makeup, and actors all look very professional!"

"Does your husband like watching it?"

"Him? What does he know? Except for the first scene where the heroine appears, his eyes light up, and he was dozing off the rest of the time!"

"Hahahaha!"

"But to be honest, although the plot is old-fashioned, it is still quite attractive. Who do you think the woman who knocked on the door at the end was? Were Shen Mingxiu and the heroine being plotted against?"

"I guess so! The woman who came in was obviously a slutty bitch!"

……

In the third squatting stall, a fifty-year-old woman wearing a suit, black-framed glasses and with a serious face took out a small notebook.

"Wang Lili and Qian Shuangshuang took a paid shit. They went to the toilet for 20 minutes. There was no [plop] sound during the whole process, only the sound of people discussing the TV series!"

Then, she took out another notebook, put it on her legs and wrote: "The male lead is Shen Mingxiu, updated at 8 o'clock tonight, produced by Shen Lang, directed by Peng Mo, set the alarm after going to the bathroom, and watch it with my daughter at 8 o'clock!"

……

8pm.

"Mr. Shen, your vest has fallen off again" arrived as promised.

what?
Charge? This kind of film needs to be charged?
how much is it?
A dollar?

"You scared me. It's only one dollar. Go ahead..."
