"Fine, fine, they're gone now. Let's not dwell on unhappy things," Si Qing waved her hand. "Let's discuss the investment properly. Director Wang and Director Li are very satisfied with our acting."
"Plus, with the investments Sister has made recently, we've earned quite a bit."
"I think the priority now should be on how to promote the crew. What do you all think?"
As Si Qing said this, she pulled out a lot of promotional materials. "I've taken the time to thoroughly investigate the film and television promotion methods in this world and found many approaches, but I don't think any of them are suitable for us."
"Why wouldn't this new film and TV promotion method be suitable for us? It's a low-budget production, and there aren't any particularly popular characters. The promotion method is to find ways to drive traffic and introduce it on major video platforms." Wang Lanqing said, tapping on the new video apps she had downloaded on her phone. "Look, these bloggers can drive traffic and introductions, and their fan influence is quite good. Just have this blogger introduce a few videos for us, highlighting the exciting parts of the early plot, and it will immediately attract many people."
Wang Lanqing spoke with anticipation, as if she could already see herself making money in the future.
Si Qing wasn't particularly optimistic about this. "The key issue is that the most exciting parts of our drama are in the middle and later stages. While there are exciting parts in the early stages, they aren't particularly competitive."
This kind of thing is like when others start with melodramatic plots, while your drama's beginning is all about slow-burning narratives.
If you were to compare the two dramas side-by-side, many people would prefer those that are exciting and melodramatic from the start.
"I don't think so," Qi Yu cast a dissenting vote for once. "Si Qing, we can select content that this type of audience loves the most based on the characteristics of the plot."
"Besides that, the most important thing is to try."
Qi Yu felt that they weren't short of money now, as several investment returns were still pending. Therefore, before the filming of the drama ended, they could conduct overt and covert promotional work across the entire internet.
Upon hearing Qi Yu's words, Si Qing had no other opinions and nodded. "In that case, I'll quickly apply to communicate with those platforms and send them the selected clips so they can find ways to promote us."
"There's no rush for this. When doing promotions, we can't just send out clips directly, as the drama hasn't been approved yet. We can send them after it's approved. Before that, we can try to communicate with the people on these platforms and see their situation. If their traffic is as stated, then we'll sign contracts with them. In addition, during filming, we should also shoot more behind-the-scenes footage," Qi Yu said very seriously, using magic to record what she said in a notebook as she spoke.
Then, she copied the contents of the notebook into several copies, one for each person.
Wang Lanqing had been watching from the side and couldn't help but laugh.
Chi Shangming looked curious. "Lanqing, what are you laughing at?"
The others were also a bit curious.
Wang Lanqing looked at Qi Yu. "I find it quite interesting. Before we came to this world, whenever we got together to discuss something, we each took our own notes. But after coming to this world, we just use magic to copy and paste."
"Ah, the main reason is that there was too much to say just now. If you all took notes word by word with a pen, it would be so troublesome, especially since the way of holding a pen in this world is different from ours, and it feels quite tiring to write," Qi Yu said with a helpless shrug. If it weren't for this, she wouldn't have directly used magic to record the content in the notebook.
The purpose of doing this was mainly to reduce the burden of writing.
Feng Siqian quickly applauded. "I agree with this point. The writing style in this world is indeed tiring, and I've noticed that the characters in this world are very different from those in our world."
Some of the characters looked very similar, as if they were just simplified, and their meaning could be vaguely understood.
But some characters were completely different from before.
This led Feng Yunzui and Feng Siqian to only be able to play relatively simple extra roles. It was fine to have one or two lines, but if there were more, for example, a non-essential supporting character with a page or two of dialogue, it would be difficult.
Because they couldn't understand the simplified modern characters in these scripts at all, to understand them, they had to use magic to transform them back into the characters of their own world.
But this kind of thing couldn't be seen by others. After reading them, they had to change the characters back.
In short, it was troublesome, wasting both magic and time.
Yan Hua's voice was faint. "Feng Yunzui, Feng Siqian, it's time for you two to learn the characters of this world more."
Feng Yunzui's face showed an expression of unbearable.
It wasn't that they didn't want to learn, but not everyone had such good comprehension.
It couldn't be said that demons were born with innate inheritance, but at their level, the thing they were exposed to the most from birth was magic.
As for characters, although they were exposed to them, they had only encountered one or two characters for hundreds or thousands of years. Now, they were suddenly asked to encounter a completely unfamiliar new writing system.
It wasn't that easy.
But speaking of this...
Feng Yunzui suddenly seemed to have thought of something and turned to ask the others with a very solemn and curious tone, "Don't you feel unaccustomed to suddenly accepting this world's writing system? Why can you accept it so quickly?"
"Perhaps it's because we've all spent time in the library before," Chen Xi felt this was the only reason. "The characters in the library include many traditional characters, as well as simplified versions of this world, and characters similar to those from our era. We've read many books."
Yan Hua nodded. "We got used to seeing them, so we learned faster. If you want to learn faster, you can also go to the library."
Feng Yunzui politely declined.
After finding so many excuses, in reality, they just didn't want to learn or be exposed to too much.
Yue Zhiyin said helplessly, "But if you two continue like this, one day when we return to our own world, if we specifically use this world's characters to send messages or write anything, won't only the two of you be unable to understand?"
