Chapter 1212: Chapter 650: Has the Animated Series Gone Cold? (Subscription Request)_2

Q Entertainment Media not only owns Penguin Video, but even AiYi Video, previously a competitor, now has shares owned by Q Entertainment Media.

In addition to that, Bilibili and various major live streaming platforms are all backed by Q Entertainment Media!

"Uh, yes, Mr. Chen is right, they won’t be able to cause much trouble."

Seeing Chairman Chen Xueming say this, Dong Yan could only agree.

However, Dong Yan still had some concerns about the Feiyue Home streaming media platform product from Feiyue Group, as it comprised entertainment works from Feiyue Group’s subsidiaries like Feiyue Animation and Feiyue Media, which had been producing excellent work for the last couple of years.

Dong Yan really worried that if the Feiyue Home streaming media platform continued to grow larger and stronger, it would eventually be impossible to ignore Feiyue Group’s entertainment product.

...

Mist City Arts and Science University.

By eight o’clock in the evening, after Ding Yue had dinner at the Fifth Canteen and returned to his apartment, he immediately checked the back-end data for user registrations on the Feiyue Home streaming media platform.

He was quite surprised by the numbers he saw.

The number of registered users on the Feiyue Home streaming media platform had already surpassed 200,000!

During the day, the numbers had climbed from 10,000 to 20,000, and then surpassed 30,000 and 50,000, after which Ding Yue hadn’t paid much attention.

But now, looking at the data again, the number had exceeded 200,000.

Ding-dong!

Just after Ding Yue checked the data, his secretary Wen Ruohan called.

"Principal Ding, 200,000 now! Our Feiyue Home streaming media platform’s registered users have surpassed 100,000!"

Wen Ruohan happily reported.

"I just saw, I already knew," Ding Yue said calmly.

Since the afternoon, Feiyue Media had spent money on advertising across various apps, including the official Twitter of Mist City Arts and Science University and Ding Yue’s personal Twitter, and had promoted the platform.

Lin Zhirou and Jia Wenbo, Feiyue Animation Studios, and others had notified their fans that their works were now exclusively available on the Feiyue Home streaming media platform.

Lin Zhirou and Jia Wenbo’s songs had previously been removed from other music platforms.

Many netizens expressed how difficult their days had been without being able to listen to Lin Zhirou’s songs.

But now, Lin Zhirou’s songs were officially back online on the Feiyue Home streaming media platform, and her fans flocked to download and register as users on the Feiyue Home streaming media platform.

Upon arriving at the Feiyue Home streaming media platform, these netizens were thrilled to discover that Lin Zhirou and Jia Wenbo’s songs were available for free listening there.

Previously on Penguin Music and Web Cloud Music, they had to subscribe as VIP members to listen, which shows that Feiyue Media’s own platform was indeed being generous.

Aside from these fans, the paid advertising by Feiyue Media had also achieved certain effects.

Otherwise, it would have been impossible to exceed 200,000 user registrations in less than a day.

Although tens of thousands of students from Mist City Arts and Science University were among the first to support, based on this, Ding Yue initially estimated that reaching between 100,000 and 150,000 on the first day would already be quite good.

Unexpectedly, they had already surpassed 200,000 user registrations by now and were even moving towards 250,000.

"Principal Ding, the advertising-driven traffic effects aren’t very noticeable yet, we expect some impact in another day or two," analyzed Wen Ruohan.

"Oh, indeed."

Ding Yue agreed with what his secretary Wen Ruohan said. Although they had started advertising in the afternoon, and there were splash screen recommendations on Twitter and TikTok, it was unlikely to drive significant traffic instantly.

Ultimately, it would depend on word-of-mouth spreading; only then would those netizens who saw the splash screen ads on apps become somewhat interested and check it out.

Before then, regardless of whether many netizens were interested in clicking on an advertisement for the Feiyue Home platform, they would likely exit immediately if they accidentally clicked it, rather than downloading the Feiyue Home streaming media platform.

Feiyue Home streaming media platform is divided into two sections: one is the PC client, where naturally everything can be done on a computer.

Watch movies, animations, listen to music, and play games.

However, the APP, that is the mobile version, differs from the PC version only in terms of games.

After all, the games on the Feiyue Home streaming media platform, such as "Resident Evil," can only be played on a computer, and there are certain minimum system requirements.

Nevertheless, it might not be long before mobile games developed by the Feiyue Game Engine appear, by which time mobile users will also be able to play games on the Feiyue Home streaming media platform.

Currently, the Feiyue Home streaming media platform has exceeded 200,000 downloads.

Of these, the PC version accounts for over 90,000, while the mobile APP accounts for more than 100,000!

"I wonder how the viewership for ’Love, Death & Robots’ is doing, Xiao Wen, I’ll have to stop talking to you now, I need to check the data on ’Love, Death & Robots’ with Xu Jiuge and her team."

At this moment, Ding Yue was naturally concerned about the performance of Feiyue Animation Studio’s animation series "Love, Death & Robots," which had launched alongside the Feiyue Home streaming media platform.

"Alright, Principal Ding."

Upon hearing this, Wen Ruohan tactfully ended the call.

After finishing the call with his secretary Wen Ruohan, Ding quickly made a phone call to Xu Jiuge, the head of Feiyue Animation Studio.

At this moment, Xu Jiuge was in her studio, and she and some of her team had been paying close attention to the viewership data for "Love, Death & Robots" since it went live today.

"Jiuge, why are the viewership numbers still so low? I heard that the user registration has already surpassed 200,000."

A student at Feiyue Animation Studio asked Xu Jiuge, puzzled.

"The viewership is indeed a bit low, but we shouldn’t panic."

Xu Jiuge, too, frowned slightly but remained relatively composed.

Just then,

a phone call came through, and Xu Jiuge picked up her mobile phone, only to see it was Principal Ding calling.

"Hello, Principal Ding."

"Jiuge, good evening, how are things going over there?" Ding Yue greeted Xu Jiuge, then asked.

"Principal Ding, are you asking about the viewership for ’Love, Death & Robots’?"

"Yes."

"Oh... honestly, Principal Ding, my colleagues and I have also been watching the viewership numbers for ’Love, Death & Robots,’ but it seems... it seems that they are a bit lower than expected."

Xu Jiuge answered apprehensively.

After all, this was an animation series made by their Feiyue Animation Studio, and specifically led by Xu Jiuge. If the viewership was not ideal, Principal Ding would likely hold them accountable.

"Oh?"

Upon hearing this, Ding Yue further inquired, "How low are the viewership numbers?"

"Principal Ding, the viewership on our Feiyue Home streaming media platform is authentic, unlike Penguin Video, which inflates numbers. So currently, the viewership is only around 20,000."

Xu Jiuge responded.

This number indeed looked rather unsatisfactory, especially since the user registration had already surpassed 200,000, and "Love, Death & Robots" had been featured prominently on the homepage of the Feiyue Home Streaming Media since its release today.

"20,000?"

Ding Yue paused for a moment, then muttered, "That’s less than one-tenth of the users who opened ’Love, Death & Robots.’"

Ding Yue was quite surprised by this viewership data.
