Chapter 353: Stingy Xu Gou

Seeing Xu Wen looking painfully at the side, netizens in the live broadcast room burst into laughter.

"Hahaha, it turns out Xu Gou also has his moments of pain. I thought he never took money seriously."

"You can tell he's a newcomer at first glance. Old fans all know that Xu Gou is very stingy. He will only be generous in one situation, and that is when he uses other people's money."

"That's not right. Isn't Xu Gou using other people's money to treat us to a meal? Logically, Xu Gou shouldn't have this expression."

"You hit the nail on the head. So here comes the question. If Xu Gou really treated this one million as someone else's money, do you think he would still feel pain?"

Looking at this barrage passing by, netizens in the live broadcast room took a deep breath.

hiss!
Xu Gou is really scheming this time!
It turns out that the reason why he felt so painful was because he already regarded the one million as his own property?

But this shouldn't be the case. This is one million, not a hundred yuan. Can Sen Ran be so willing to give it all to Xu Wen?

Netizens are puzzled, but if they don’t think along this line, they don’t know why Xu Wen would feel sorry for the money.

Fortunately, Sen Ran’s alcohol tolerance was not very good. After three glasses of wine, he felt almost drunk. If he drank more, he would be drunk.

As long as you drink in moderation, you will never be able to finish the one million dollars of food no matter how much you eat.

At first, Sen Ran and his two brothers were a little reserved and felt embarrassed to let Xu Wen treat them.

But soon the three brothers relaxed and asked the waiter to bring the menu and ordered whatever they saw.

Seafood and the like are a must, and premium beef and the like also need to be served. We must eat our fill tonight!

After seeing this scene, netizens in the live broadcast room all showed envious expressions.

Although they knew that Xu Wen and his friends didn't stay up so late every day, the fact that they could eat so freely was enough to make the netizens in the live broadcast room envious.

"Sir, do you need to watch a movie or TV? We can provide this service here."

The waiter is quite discerning, otherwise how could he deserve such a high salary.

When she first saw Xu Wen and the others chatting, she didn't come over.

When the few people stopped talking and focused on eating, the waiter came over and said that they had such service.

Sen Ran was holding a mantis shrimp in his hand and eating while saying to the waiter, "Okay, we also want to watch some TV. I remember there seems to be a live football match today. Can you watch the sports channel here?"

The waiter smiled and said, "Sure sir, our hotel is an all-channel member, you can watch any channel you want."

Netizens were once again extremely envious.

Listen, all-channel membership!

You should know that all TV platforms now charge fees, and the fees are more outrageous than one another. In the past, at most you could watch all the movies and TV series on their channels by paying for membership, but now it is different.

Now there are many levels of membership.

While the waiter was adjusting the TV channels, Sen Ran started complaining.

"Old Xu, you are well-informed. Can you tell me what is going on with these TV channels? In the past, I could understand paying for membership. After all, they have purchased the copyright and it is impossible for them to let you watch for free."

"But now you can't just pay for membership. Did you know that there are many levels of TV membership now? Silver, gold, diamond and so on. The movies you can watch are determined by the different levels of membership."

"The most outrageous thing is that the clarity of these films is also based on your membership level. If you are only a silver member, you can only watch standard definition. If you are a gold member, you can watch high definition. If you are a diamond member, you can watch ultra-high definition."

"You said this is just playing the piano."

Dai Qiang, who was sitting nearby, also nodded and said, "Yes, I also think these platforms are outrageous. I bought a super membership just to watch more episodes, but if I want to watch later, I have to pay for advanced on-demand viewing. Do you think these people are crazy because they are poor? Do they really want to make money like this?"

What Sen Ran and others complained about is exactly what netizens want to complain about.

They also don’t understand why there are so many outrageous operations on current film and television platforms, and they all want to hear what Xu Wen has to say.

Xu Wen took a bite of the braised chicken leg, then said calmly: "What era is it now? Who still watches TV? Do you watch TV normally?"

Sen Ran curled his lips and said, "If the TV charges were the same as before, I would definitely watch TV, but now I don't watch it anymore. Watching TV is not as good as watching short videos."

Xu Wen nodded.

"Look, isn't the answer already out?"

Xu Wen analyzed: "The TV in the past is completely different from the TV now. In the past, TV was a buyout system. You only needed to pay the TV fee every month, and you could watch all the channels that month, right?"

"But this charging method is outdated, and it doesn't make money quickly. Now major film and television platforms have commercialized movies and TV series, because they find that if someone really likes a TV series, then this person is likely to watch it many times, and even watch everything related to the TV series and buy some."

"So, if you look at the popular TV series now, are there all kinds of behind-the-scenes footage and peripherals being released?"

After Xu Wen said this, the others immediately reacted.

"It seems to be true. I have noticed that the current costume TV series are different from the past. There is a QR code in the lower right corner of the current TV series. Scanning the code will bring you various TV series souvenirs. You can buy some character photo albums, figurines, notebooks and the like of the male and female protagonists. In short, there is everything you can think of. There is nothing they can't do."

Xu Wen smiled and said, "So, this is a door-in-the-door effect."

"A new hit drama is online. You see, the threshold for this drama is to pay 10 yuan for membership. People who are looking forward to this drama are naturally willing to spend this 10 yuan."

"Similarly, if he is willing to spend ten dollars on this drama, then he is likely to spend money on the peripheral figures and the like after the drama. On the contrary, if he is not even willing to spend ten dollars, do you think he is likely to buy peripheral things?"

"So now every movie and TV series is a commodity. What the film and television platforms need to do is to squeeze out the value of the commodity as much as possible and create huge profits. Therefore, these movies and TV series are now calculated separately."
