Puzzled by the decision

Taran thought about it more, 'maybe this will be a short web series?'

While he was reasoning with his own ideas he was still on the call with Dylan so he asked about what he was having right now.

"Dylan I don't think it will be a long series."

Dylan became puzzled by what Taran said to him

"Why do you think so?"

"Didn't you see it would be released on YouTube for free?"

"Yes I had seen that and what was wrong with it?", Dylan was still not able to understand what Taran meant by saying that.

"Dylan, how much money do you think they had put in to produce this web series from the trailer alone?"

Dylan instantly replied to Taran, "Of course, from one look one can tell they had put tons of money into producing this web series."

"You are right after watching the trailer any normal person would think that the web series they will release will be of the same quality and from the cinematography and CGI in the trailer it is normal it is taken from money to money."

"Yes, all of your points are correct but what you are pointing towards," Dylan asked back in confusion.

"You agree that it would take a lot of money to make them, then why would they realize it on YouTube for free even after accounting for all the ad revenue that will be generated from the viewers it will no way near if it would have been released on the other platforms."

Listening to the reasoning that Taran gave him, Dylan contemplated what Taran said, he could not even deny Taran's reasoning.

"Huuu... what you are saying makes sense, maybe it would be released on the other platforms also?"

Dylan scanned the announcement of the EE production house again but he didn't find anything regarding what he was searching for.

"I don't think they mentioned anything about releasing it on other platforms." Taran's response to Dylan's query.

"Yes, I had confirmed, there was absolutely no related information, showing it would be released on other platforms."

Both Dylan and Taran could not find the reason.

Dylan was still reasoning with EE production house decision, but suddenly he recalled a comment made by a person in the trailer.

"I don't think it will be short web series."

"What happened, why do you suddenly feel it won't be a short web series?"

Taran questioned Dylan when he heard Dylan's response.

Dylan didn't say this because of his gut feeling but when he remembers the content of the comment, which he didn't take in mind before.

"Taran do you remember that EE production house was bought completely by a single person."

"Yes and what about it."

"I think the new owner of the EE production house is an affluent person."

"The owner would definitely have to be a well-off person if he could buy the entire EE production house."

"Well, now you think about whenever a new business is opened somewhere the owner of this business tries to coax people in a different way through free vouchers or free products." Dylan continued to tell Taran

A sudden realization was down upon Taran having listened to Dylan's explanation.

"I get by what you're trying to say, but putting an entire web series for free to boost their popularity isn't it too much."

Taran apart from the reasoning given before by Dylan but could not accept that someone would put in large amounts of money just to gain popularity.

"Don't think about it so much, for some people, it would be a huge amount of money that we would never think of earning in a lifetime but for the big company and businessman this is just their investment for their future plans."

"Haa... I think you are right, I only taught about it from my perspective, taking into account it is just their normal investment."

"Yes, let's just wait for the release date then we would clearly know what is going to happen."

"Well yes, we have to just wait I am really impatient after watching their phenomenal trailer." Taran could not hide his excitement to watch the show.

They talked with each other for a while then hung up.
