A few days later, Douyin app was officially launched in major application software stores such as Huawei Mall and Apple Mall.

However, since there is no large-scale promotion now, there are only a few hundred downloads, and it is estimated that they were downloaded by ByteDance’s internal employees.

Yang Hao didn't think much about it and downloaded the Douyin app from the Huawei Mall.

Enter your mobile phone number to register and log in.

At this moment, although Douyin has only been officially launched for a short time, the videos in the video library are very rich. This should be what Douyin bought from other channels to enrich its own video library.

Looking at the familiar interface, Yang Hao showed a nostalgic look.

Watching short videos is really addictive. Yang Hao almost forgot the time and watched it for more than an hour in one go.

The girls on Douyin are both sexy and pretty.

Judging from the fact that Yang Hao has eaten so many celebrities, judging from the looks shown in the videos alone, these Douyin girls are not inferior to most celebrities.

I just wonder how much of the flavor in the video is there in reality?

Just when Yang Hao was sitting in the office of Haori Film and Television Culture Media Company, watching short videos, Yu Li pushed the door and walked in.

"Boss? What are you playing? Why are you so focused?" Yu Li put a document on her desk and then asked.

Yang Hao came back to his senses when he heard Yu Li's voice.

"Yu Li, you're here just in time. I just happened to have something to tell you."

"You can also download this Douyin short video app later, register a dozen accounts, and operate it as the company's media account." While speaking, Yang Hao handed his mobile phone to Yu Li so that she could see clearly what the app was.

As soon as Yang Hao said this, Yu Li understood. This is the same principle as operating a Weibo account.

But Weibo has such a huge amount of traffic, does Douyin app have any traffic?

With doubts, Yu Li asked directly: "Boss, does this app have such a great prospect?"

"Yu Li, don't underestimate this app. It will definitely be the king of traffic in the future."

Two thousand years ago, there was no Internet, and the traffic entrances to the entertainment industry were newspapers, magazines, and television stations.

With the rise of computers, major portals became more important traffic entrances to the entertainment industry.

With the rise of smart phones and the arrival of 3G networks, the entertainment industry has a new traffic entrance, which is Weibo.

Now that we have switched to 4G network, short videos are the new traffic entrance for the entertainment industry.

Yang Hao briefly explained to Yu Li the importance of the Douyin short video app.

"Boss, how to operate these accounts? Can you explain it in detail?" Seeing that Yang Hao explained it very clearly, Yu Li, who was not very familiar with this software, asked directly and humbly.

"Remember the last time Meng Ziyi sang out of tune on a local TV station's Spring Festival Gala? This kind of video clip can be edited into a perfect material."

"Or maybe some behind-the-scenes footage of celebrities filming on set."

"Of course, if you really can't think of any particularly good material, you can just upload some beautiful selfies of celebrities."

When watching short videos in later generations, you will often come across some short video accounts with only tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of fans. These video accounts always post a few fixed celebrity-related videos. These accounts are media accounts operated by film and television companies.

These accounts may not seem to have many followers, but they are operated by a lot of people.

A company operates dozens of them at the same time and uploads celebrity videos every day. Quantitative changes will lead to qualitative changes.

People who often watch short videos will inevitably come across this kind of video. You never know when you will become a fan of this star because of a short video.

Even if you can't attract fans, it's a good thing to deepen the impression of the star in the audience's mind.

"Okay, Mr. Yang, I understand." The operation methods of short video media accounts and Weibo media accounts are similar, and Yang Hao explained it in such detail that Yu Li quickly understood it.

"These accounts upload at least one video or picture about a celebrity every three days." Yang Hao thought for a moment and added.

"I've remembered it." Yu Li nodded and took a pen to write down everything Yang Hao said.

Currently, the entertainment industry’s traffic depends on Weibo, but in the future, the entertainment industry’s traffic will definitely depend on Douyin.

After explaining the operation of the Douyin media account, Yang Hao waved his hand and asked Yu Li to leave so that he could take care of his own things first.

Just as Yu Li was about to walk out the door, Yang Hao suddenly thought of something else.

"Wait a minute, Yu Li, I suddenly remembered something."

After Yu Li turned around and sat opposite him again, Yang Hao continued speaking.

"Yu Li, send the information of Meng Ziyi, Zhao Liying, Yang Zi, Li Xian, and Chen Xiao to ByteDance, and discuss with them about endorsing and promoting the Douyin app."

"It's okay if the price is lower this time. Douyin app will sponsor the Spring Festival Gala next year. This level of endorsement is definitely good for the artist's fame."

Celebrities and endorsements complement each other, especially endorsing some top international luxury brands, which also adds to the celebrities' fame.

As a platform like Douyin that sponsors the Spring Festival Gala, the bonus it provides to celebrities is definitely no less than those of the top international luxury brands.

“Okay, I’ll take care of it right away.” Yang Hao spoke so highly of the importance of Douyin short videos that Yu Li was skeptical at first. But now that she heard that Douyin was going to sponsor the Spring Festival Gala, she suddenly realized that this app was not simple.

Nonsense! Can it be simple?

The starting price for sponsoring the Spring Festival Gala is now 3 million RMB. It is impossible to think that it will be easy to spend so much money on promotion.

As time goes by, the subsequent box office data of "The Witch" is gradually released.

In the second week, the domestic box office in China was 8.9 million RMB and the North American box office was 6300 million US dollars.

In its third week, the Chinese box office grossed 5.2 million RMB and the North American box office grossed 3700 million USD.

In the fourth week, the domestic box office in China was 2.7 million RMB and the North American box office was 1600 million US dollars.

After one month, the Chinese box office of "The Witch" reached 31.19 billion yuan, and the North American box office reached 2.178 million US dollars.

The total box office was $7.05 million.

Ci Peikang got the data in his office and was stunned for a long time.

How come it’s only 7.05 million? It’s still 7000 million dollars away from being the th in the world’s box office history.

This gap is quite big!

Although "The Witch" can still generate box office revenue in the second month, the gap of 7000 million US dollars, or more than million RMB, is not necessarily something that can be surpassed.

Alas! The release date of the movie "The Witch" is still a little off. If it was released during the Spring Festival, the domestic box office would definitely be more than 31 billion.

Is it possible that "The Witch" can't make it into the top 100 of the global film history rankings?
It would be fine if the difference was huge, but it was only 70 million US dollars, which made Ci Peikang feel very sorry.

In an instant, he was filled with mixed feelings of annoyance, grief, and so on. Suddenly, Ci Peikang's eyes turned and he scanned the data again.

By the way, this data does not include many other countries such as the island countries and the Korean country.

There is a chance, there is still a chance to reach the top 100 in film history.

Thinking of this, Ci Peikang smiled again.

There are too many countries involved in this, and it will definitely take some time for the data to be fed back. Ci Peikang can only be patient and wait for his subordinates to complete the statistics.

three days later.

"Knock, knock, knock..." There was a series of hurried knocks on the door, and Ci Peikang's secretary pushed the door open after getting permission.

"Boss, these are the box office data of "The Witch" from the island countries, South Korea, Southeast Asia and other countries." Ci Peikang's secretary showed excitement on his face and respectfully handed the document to Ci Peikang with both hands.

"Leave it here, you go out first." Seeing the excitement on his secretary's face, Ci Peikang had roughly guessed the result in his mind, which must be that it would make it into the top 100 in film history.

After the secretary went out and closed the door, Ci Peikang picked up the documents on the table.

The box office in the island country was 3100 million US dollars, the box office in South Korea was 2400 million US dollars, and the box office in Southeast Asia was more than 700 million US dollars.

By this calculation, the box office of "Witch" has reached 7.68 million US dollars.

Currently, the 7.75th place in film history is "Star Wars" with 900 million US dollars, and the difference between the two is only million US dollars.

Steady!

Seeing this, Ci Peikang knows that once the fifth week data of "Witch" comes out, it will probably surpass the box office of "Star Wars" and successfully enter the top 100 in global film history.

At this moment, Ci Pei couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart.

After working in the system for most of his life, the skill he had developed to hide his emotions was broken at this moment.

"Haha!" Sitting in the recliner, Ci Peikang laughed heartily.

At this moment, Ci Peikang really wanted to find someone to share the joy of this moment.

"Yang Hao, the total box office of "Witch" in the first four weeks is as high as 7.68 million US dollars. The box office data will be released next week. It is certain that it will surpass the box office of "Star Wars", and it is stable to enter the top in the history of global films." Ci Peikang called Yang Hao directly and told him this exciting good news.

Yang Hao has been waiting for the final box office summary these days. Although he already had some predictions in his mind and knew that "The Witch" had a high probability of making it into the top 100 in global film history, when this news was about to become a reality, Yang Hao couldn't help but get excited.

"Yang Hao, when will the celebration party for "The Witch" be held?" After both of them calmed down, Ci Peikang continued.

"Why don't we wait until the fifth week's box office results for "The Witch" come out and it officially enters the top 100 in global film history before holding a celebration party?" Yang Hao suggested.

"Okay, then we'll hold a celebration party after the box office data comes out next week."

Yang Hao had attended celebration banquets before, and he always felt that these things were more about meaning than practicality. To be honest, he didn't really like attending them.

But now that "The Witch" is about to enter the top 100 in global film history, he is a little impatient at this important historical moment.

If you want to show off, do it in a big way.

Another week later, the fifth week box office data of "The Witch" was released.

The domestic box office in China, due to the double decline in screening rate and attendance rate, is only more than 80 million RMB, and the North American box office is now only more than 5 million.

But this is enough. The box office of "Witch" has reached 7.85 million US dollars, which is more than the million US dollars of "Star Wars".

The current box office ranks 98th in global film history, not far behind the 97th-ranked "Fast & Furious 6" with a box office of 7.88 million.

"Announce the latest box office news of "The Witch" and invite related film and television companies to participate in the celebration party of "The Witch." Ci Peikang excitedly instructed his secretary.

"Okay, boss, I'll do it right away." Ci Peikang's secretary was also very excited.

The success of "The Witch" is not only due to Ci Peikang, but also to him as a secretary. After all, if his boss is doing well, his fortune will also rise.

"The Witch" is about to enter the top 100 film history in the world. This is definitely the biggest thing in the entertainment industry in recent times.

All media are paying attention to this matter.

They have already written relevant articles in advance and are just waiting for the news of the official breakthrough so that they can publish them immediately.

When China Film Corporation announced that "The Witch" officially entered the top 100 film history in the world, the entire entertainment industry was immediately in an uproar.

All of a sudden, all media started to get busy, and articles were quickly published on major portals, Weibo, and forums.

"The box office of "Witch" officially exceeded 7.85 million US dollars, ranking 98th in the history of global films"

"The box office of "The Witch" is still growing. Ranked 98th in global film history is not its limit. Go for it."

"Yang Hao is awesome. He once boasted that the box office would be 50 billion, and now he actually keeps his word."

"Meng Ziyi became famous overnight because of "The Witch" and is the biggest winner of this movie"

……

QQ news push, Sohu news push, Weibo news push, Tieba news push, almost at the same time, all major software on Yang Hao’s mobile phone were pushing news related to "The Witch".

Under this powerful push, the news that "The Witch" entered the top 100 film history in the world was quickly known to the general public.

The pride of the Chinese people is really strong!
Even if they are just some 996, 007 workers, who are reluctant to go to the cinema to watch movies and have no time to chase stars, and most of their monthly salary is used to pay off their mortgages, they are still filled with pride when they hear this news.

The same sentence soon flooded the comment sections of Weibo, forums, Tieba, QQ groups, WeChat groups and other social platforms.

“The Witch is awesome!”

"Witch" is awesome! This sentence seems to have some kind of magic. If I don't comment on the previous sentence, I will feel uncomfortable.

Amid this wave of popularity, a strange article topped the Weibo hot search list.

This article only has a title: "The Witch is awesome!".

There is not a single word in the main text, only the title, but it actually topped the Weibo hot search list.

The most terrifying thing is the number of comments under this message, which exceeded 15 in just minutes.

What’s even more bizarre is that all the comments are “The Witch is awesome!”

When Yang Hao saw the words "'Witch' is awesome!", he had a sense of déjà vu as he remembered the time when IG won the League of Legends S2018 championship in 8.

Driven by this popularity, some fat otakus addicted to games, some house slaves with mortgages of four or five thousand yuan, and some people who have been cut by the stock market again and again, all plan to go to the cinema in the near future to see what kind of movie "The Witch" is and why it can achieve such dazzling results.

When these people finished watching the movie and walked out of the theater, they all took out their phones and typed "The Witch is awesome!" in the Weibo comment section. (End of this chapter)
