SFS Chapter 601 Short dramas are Chen Jincheng's domain!
Chapter 601 Short dramas are Chen Jincheng's domain!
Huang Zhen stared at the Second Star's page, completely dumbfounded.
What did he see?
The short drama section of the Second Star Film and Television Network has surprisingly expanded from the previous 30 short dramas to a densely packed list of short dramas.
He immediately tried to pull it down, but he couldn't reach the end.
This amount...
"How could there be so many?" Huang Zhen couldn't believe it, and an indescribable sense of powerlessness suddenly welled up inside him.
He was planning to compete with Ershixingchen for the short drama market and content, but they had only just started their plan and formed their team, and hadn't even finished filming one short drama yet, while Ershixingchen had already produced so many dramas.
In terms of film content, they simply cannot compete with the other side.
If the source material can't be compared, then the users certainly can't compete either.
Huang Zhen suddenly had a very bad feeling.
Perhaps they can't beat Chan Kam-ching in short dramas either.
Now he probably understands Chen Jincheng's purpose. He had prepared a large number of short dramas from the beginning, and the reason he revealed the market potential of short dramas this time is because he has a lot of short dramas in reserve.
He doesn't need to worry about the availability of films.
Now that everyone knows how lucrative short dramas can be, many people will soon join in and compete in this arena.
These people certainly cannot pose a threat to Chen Jincheng and Ershixingchen, but they can contain Tencent Pictures and Aiqiyi Pictures, severely hindering their development.
In this way, they will never be able to compete with Second Generation Stars. Once the market stabilizes, Second Generation Stars will take the biggest slice of the short drama pie.
Then Tencent Penguin Pictures will completely lose the ability to compete with Ershixingchen Film and Television Network.
"We've been outmaneuvered by Chen Jincheng." Huang Zhen realized that he had actually thought Chen Jincheng had been careless.
Think about it, of all the things Chen Jincheng did before, which one wasn't the other party confident about?
Hey!
Perhaps Chen Jincheng already has a complete short drama production line.
And indeed, that is the case.
On the other side, Chen Jincheng had already led Reba, Long Ni, Tian Meizi, and Miss Meng to a manor.
This is also a base prepared by Ershi Xingchen for filming short dramas, where various short dramas about wealthy tycoons and domineering CEOs can be filmed.
Chen Jincheng brought several girls with him this time, naturally intending to film some high-end short dramas.
After all, even Dilraba Dilmurat came to film this, so it definitely can't be one of those mindless, melodramatic plots.
Of course, Reba's appearance fee must be very high, probably hundreds of millions.
But that's not important. The short drama that Dilraba filmed is meant to elevate the quality of future productions; making money is secondary.
"Chen Jincheng, I really admire you. How did you come up with the idea of short dramas?" The members of Reba were all quite impressed.
Chen Jincheng smiled and said in a pretentious manner, "Watch more, think more, and study more. As long as you put your heart into it, it's not hard to discover some of the audience's preferences. That's how you stay ahead of others. Those who try to imitate me will never surpass me."
"Weren't there a lot of people criticizing me online before? Saying I produced garbage? Now that they see my short dramas are selling well, these same people are secretly making short dramas again."
These words were spoken with sarcasm.
He looks down on most people in the film and television industry.
Long Ni said with admiration, "The key is that President Chen actually prepared so many short dramas. Hundreds of them have been uploaded in one go, right?"
Chen Jincheng nodded: "I uploaded 500 copies as a gift to those people."
To avoid excessive homogenization, the 3000 short dramas were not released simultaneously; only 500 were released. Furthermore, Douyin's streaming was done separately for different genres, with different groups of people taking turns promoting them.
This dispersed approach minimizes the problem of severe homogenization and maximizes the advantage of quantity. For example, in 2025, more than 600 companies were involved in short drama production. At one point, Douyin (a short drama streaming platform) pushed more than 5000 short dramas a day, and many people only saw a few.
This is the result of the massive bandwidth of the signal.
In fact, the fact that Er Shi Xing Chen released so many short dramas in one go shocked not only Long Ni and Reba, but also Dou Yin and Gu Xue.
After witnessing the phenomenal sales of short dramas, she organized a team to start building a short drama production team. However, just as her team was assembled, Chen Jincheng unexpectedly released more than 500 short dramas in one go.
This isn't just smashing the pot; it's smashing the bowls and overturning the table.
She suddenly wondered if she had signed that 20 billion contract too early?
Over the next few days, she became increasingly certain, because the sales figures for these 500 dramas began to increase rapidly, and the number of people making payments kept rising.
Almost every short drama series earned more than 200 million yuan in profit, which means that the minimum guaranteed profit is 10 billion yuan.
Moreover, these short dramas can be sold later, and the payment data is still increasing. It is likely that Chen Jincheng can earn back the 20 billion yuan just from this alone.
The most important thing isn't even that, but that those who make payments need to register an account on the Second Star Film and Television Network, and that payment increases the daily active users of the other party's short drama section.
This is what's most important for a film and television platform.
Gu Xue was almost certain that the Ershixingchen short drama section must already have a considerable number of daily active users.
That's really cunning.
She's starting to believe that saying: in the short video industry, nobody can beat Chen Jincheng.
In the following days, the actions of Ershixingchen Film and Television Network really made Gu Xue want to shout "6666" (a Chinese internet slang for "awesome").
Because the "Second Generation Stars" short drama section has added a free zone for members, as long as you become a member, you can watch all the free episodes.
The initial 30 short dramas have already entered the free zone. In addition to these 30 short dramas, more than 150 other short dramas have also been included in this section, which are obviously the ones with lower sales among the 500 dramas.
Chen Jincheng really knows how to make money.
This wave will definitely earn Ershixingchen a lot of money and increase its daily active users by a huge amount.
"President Gu, someone has already filmed Douyin's first short drama and uploaded it to 'Second Life Star.' According to our investigation, there are a total of 8 dramas." A senior executive of Douyin reported with emotion.
This truly surprised Gu Xue: "How are the sales?"
It's only been a short time, but it seems the profits from short dramas have spurred a lot of action.
The executive replied, "According to our investigation, four of them have sold over 500,000 copies. They are obviously plagiarized from Chen Jincheng's short dramas, or even remade, but they still have a market. On the contrary, the other four innovative ones have lower sales."
Gu Xue was somewhat surprised. Plagiarism and remaking the film would result in even higher sales?
This isn't right, isn't anyone criticizing it?
"President Gu, look at the Second Starry Night short drama section, they've made another move. They announced that they've released another 1000 short dramas." Another executive suddenly exclaimed.
Gu Xue frowned and immediately logged into the Second Starry Sky Film and Television section. Sure enough, the number of short dramas had increased again. The first and second pages were almost all newly uploaded, and the free section already had more than 500.
In other words, all the previous short dramas have been categorized here.
"How can we compete like this?" Gu Xue couldn't help but sigh deeply, then added, "In this situation, even if we get involved, it seems we can't possibly win against Chen Jincheng. We'd be better off maintaining our core short video audience to better deal with Kuaishou. If we're too greedy, we might lose our core short video audience."
This made the other high-ranking officials nod in agreement; not only Douyin, but many others had noticed something amiss.
Chen Jincheng is so well-prepared for the short drama market that it's almost certain he will dominate it.
And with the release of another 1000 short dramas in the Second Generation Star short drama module 10 days later, this was further confirmed. (End of this chapter)
