Chapter 56 has surpassed 15 billion views.
In the ninth episode, Zhang Ruonan and Li Xiao, played by Li Xian, are wanted by the entire city and mistaken for murderers by the police. They eventually manage to escape to Lu Di's rented secret base.
Thanks to the password that Lu Di had given them in the previous cycle, the two finally had a place to hide temporarily.
However, the police quickly located him, and eventually stormed into Lu Di's room, only to find no one in the room or on the balcony.
It turned out they were hiding on the next floor.
Unlike the previous life, which released two episodes a week,
Han Ziming specially arranged for an extra episode to be released this time, which led to even higher popularity for "The Beginning".
At the same time, his personal promotional interview videos with the male and female leads were also uploaded to the iQiyi platform.
Han Ziming looked at his interview video and saw that it had already reached 10 million views in just two days.
However, precisely because of this,
Many people watch TV dramas.
The more discussion it generates, the more likely it is to trend on social media.
The more often a topic trends on social media, the more new viewers it attracts.
This back-and-forth creates a perfect closed loop!
Most importantly, the number of viewers for the TV series "The Beginning" continues to increase.
Han Ziming opened Weibo and saw that the official Weibo account of iQiyi, which he followed, had posted a poster announcing that the number of views for "The Beginning" had exceeded 15 billion.
After he forwarded it, he checked Weibo's entertainment trending topics, and the topic "Beginning" made up the majority of the real-time entertainment trending topics.
"No wonder this show ended up being disliked by casual viewers in my previous life."
Han Ziming muttered to himself.
It's really excessive how many trending topics Kiwi has generated.

Han Ziming curiously clicked on the first trending topic, the one about his appearance being exposed, and read the comments.
The comments were absolutely disgusting.
"No, with this look, I think I can film anything!"
"Yes, yes, I suggest we all crowdfund to make a movie about him!"
"I don't want to call you out on it, but how many kinds of movies do you want him to make?"
"I never expected the author to be so handsome!"
"At first I thought Duocai Duoyi must be ugly, but I didn't expect him to be just as handsome as me!"
"Hey upstairs, you're this drunk after just a few drinks!"
"I'm so envious! Han Ziming's fans must be eating really well, and their looks are truly stunning!"
"If they can debut like this, what's there to hide!"
"Are you shy?"
"Um, could it be a cute puppy?"
"I like little puppies. 500,000 per time. I hope you won't be ungrateful!"
"Sis, don't pretend if you can't afford it. I'll offer a million!"
"Please do not disrupt the market, thank you!"
"As expected, *** is a huge shopping mall!"
"What's the point of acting anymore? Just go on variety shows and make money!"
"Hilarious! Do you want to see how much money he makes now?!"
"Yeah, they're bosses now!"
"Wow, you ladies are amazing! I'm just looking forward to the premiere of 'Brother Quick' and trying to snag a ticket to see it live!"
"I'm really fed up with you women. As long as Han Ziming doesn't sleep with my Xiao Nan, everything's fine!"
"Don't get involved. We only support the anti-fraud couple. They may be handsome, but they're just friends!"
"Upstairs, let's not talk about such sad things."
"Agreed!"
Han Ziming logged off after reading the Weibo post, because these comments didn't affect him at all.
Not long after,
He left the company.
We took a car and arrived at the Kiwi Fruit Company building.
As soon as Han Ziming got out of the car, he saw Dai Ying waiting outside.
"Boss Han, congratulations! 'The Beginning' is a huge hit!"
Dai Ying stepped forward and greeted her with a smile.
Han Ziming waved his hand and smiled.
"Mr. Dai, you're too kind. This TV series' success is entirely due to your platform and marketing strategies; you deserve a lot of credit!"
After exchanging a few pleasantries, Han Ziming followed Dai Ying to Gong Yu's office.
Gong Yu was staring at the playback data of "The Beginning" at this moment, his eyes narrowed into slits with laughter, and he muttered to himself.
"The viewership has already reached 15 billion, and reaching 25 billion by the end is definitely not a problem. iQiyi's membership has increased from 5000 million to 7000 million, and the company's valuation has also gone up. This is a huge windfall!"
Just then, there was a knock on the office door.
"Knock knock knock!"
"Please come in!"
Gong Yu didn't even look up, and simply called out.
Dai Ying, who was outside the door, heard the knock.
He then led Han Ziming into the office.
"Mr. Gong, you're truly in high spirits when good things happen!"
Han Ziming saw Gong Yu looking at the documents with great enthusiasm.
Gong Yu raised her head and gave Han Ziming a wry smile.
"Hey, Mr. Han, the thought of having to take 50% of the profits from you, and then the board questioning it, makes my heart pound!"
Han Ziming sat down on the sofa, and Gong Yu's assistant poured tea for the three of them on the coffee table.
Han Ziming took a sip of tea and retorted directly.
"Alright, stop acting! This time, for your iQiyi zero-yuan purchase, I paid for the production myself."
They're making money hand over fist, why are they worried about the cost? The advertising expenses are covered by the recruitment team, and membership has skyrocketed!
What else does your board of directors want?
Gong Yu chuckled as he spoke.
"Haha, I knew I couldn't fool you. I was just making a comment. But when it comes to recruiting businesses and getting memberships, you guys are going to get a pretty good share this time."
"Really?"
Han Ziming asked with a surprised look.
Gong Yu said with a pained expression.
"Of course it's true. Kiwi's membership has increased by nearly 2000 million, and the number of merchants recruited is more than 3 million. All in all, it's close to 2 million."
At this moment, Dai Ying said with an envious look.
"Boss Han, as well as video platforms in Southeast Asia, Japan and South Korea, have all contacted us to say they want to buy the overseas rights to 'The Beginning'."
I've already given the contact information to General Manager Li for further communication. I reckon you guys will make more money than us this time.
"Did you hear that? In the end, your company still made more money than our platform!" Gong Yu was a little jealous when she heard this.
It was a loss not to buy all the copyrights back then.
Capitalists are all like this, as expected.
They're eating what's in their bowl while eyeing what's in the pot!
Han Ziming, however, disagreed.
"You think I didn't see the market's valuation of your Kiwifruit? It's increased by hundreds of millions! And the overseas rights can only be sold after you finish broadcasting it."
However, after saying that, he couldn't help but smile, since the profits from "The Beginning" were indeed higher than he had expected.
Gong Yu chuckled, then suddenly became serious.
"Thanks, thanks to your 'The Beginning', I've finally gotten a little closer to Tencent."
Han Ziming didn't beat around the bush with him.
"Mr. Gong, what brings you here today?"
Dai Ying picked up the conversation.
"Boss Han, with 'The Beginning' being such a hit, Kiwi has already started planning a celebration banquet. I'll talk to General Manager Li about it."
Han Ziming nodded without refuting.
"Sure, but we should wait until the broadcast is over before starting. You can arrange it. Our company doesn't know much about this kind of thing anyway."
At this moment, Gong Yu inquired with a grin.
"Actually, I also wanted to ask what other plans you have for TV dramas? We at iQiyi are open to investing!"
