The group was kicked out, and low presence means they are bad?

Chapter 368 High Productivity
"Squidward! What is that? A movie? Or a TV show?"

Looking at the document handed over by Qiu Weirui, Ye Xuan's eyes were slightly stunned, as if she had not yet recovered from this sudden change.

"Why don't you open the file and take a look at it yourself?" Qiu Weirui did not reveal any information in advance, intending to let Ye Xuan find the answer by herself.

Ye Xuan didn't say anything and opened the document and read it carefully.

After a while, she finally understood what this "Squid Game" meant.

"Film and TV series? And they plan to shoot it in the near future? Does Bai Xingjian owe any debt? Why is he working so hard?"

Ye Xuan looked a little suspicious, obviously Bai Xingjian's recent high productivity made her very confused.

"It's all because of what your distant cousin did, otherwise Bai Xingjian wouldn't have so many thoughts."

Qiu Weirui explained to her the reason for all this.

"!!!!!!"

After hearing Qiu Weirui's explanation, Ye Xuan was instantly shocked.

It turns out that Bai Xingjian’s idea for the IP amusement park was inspired by Ye Suxin’s incident?

What kind of magical unfolding is this?

"So you support Bai Xingjian's plan so rashly?" Ye Xuan asked in disbelief.

Not long ago, she thought that Bai Xingjian's IP amusement park was a plan that had been conceived for a long time. However, after Qiu Weirui's explanation just now, Ye Xuan realized that Bai Xingjian's plan had been conceived for less than a week.

Are you guys all that sloppy now?

This is not a small matter that can be solved by spending three or five hundred million on making a movie!

"What's so rash about this? I've thought it over carefully, okay? And it's not impossible to do this."

As soon as she finished speaking, Qiu Weirui took out another document from her bag.

It looks almost exactly like the "Squid Game" file on the table.

Ye Xuan's eyes widened a little, and she asked with her mouth slightly open: "What is this?"

Qiu Weirui smiled and said, "According to Bai Xingjian, this is the cornerstone of his IP Paradise."

She handed over the document in her hand again.

Ye Xuan took it awkwardly, and then saw the cover of the document. This time, there were five big black words printed on it.

——The Truman Show

"The Truman Show? Is it another TV series?" Ye Xuan was almost numb at this moment.

Didn’t we agree that we’re here to discuss investment plans?

Why does it feel like she's here to purchase goods?

"Look for yourself." Qiu Weirui was already familiar with the process.

After handing the document to Ye Xuan, she started drinking her coffee.

The corners of her mouth would rise from time to time, and Ye Xuan's current reaction seemed to make her quite happy.

After some time.

“Is this a movie?”

Ye Xuan stared at Qiu Weirui with wide eyes: "Oh my God! Did you get hold of some shameful evidence against Bai Xingjian? He has been so prolific recently that it's a bit outrageous!"

Qiu Weirui rolled her eyes. "This isn't my fault, okay? Bai Xingjian has been so productive recently, isn't it because of your distant cousin who forced him to do so?"

At this point, Qiu Weirui laughed, her bright smile was quite dazzling: "Speaking of which, I have to thank your distant cousin. If it weren't for that incident with your distant cousin, Bai Xingjian probably wouldn't be so productive and produce so many works at once."

Ye Xuan smacked her lips when she heard this: "Your ugly face really looks like those evil capitalists in American TV series."

Qiu Weirui sneered: "Am I considered a capitalist?"

"Forget it. I don't want to argue with you about this boring topic." Qiu Weirui waved his hand and did not continue to argue on this topic. Instead, he changed the subject and said:

"So after reading all these documents, what do you think now?"

"I'm already on your pirate ship, what else can I think of? I just hope you won't sell me out in the future."

Ye Xuan blinked her eyes, looking like she was saying, "Don't bully me."

Qiu Weirui laughed dumbly, "Since you said so, I won't be polite with you."

At this point, Qiu Weirui cleared his throat and continued, "'The Truman Show' is an important cornerstone of Bai Xingjian's IP amusement park. This construction still needs detailed planning for some time, but 'Squid Game' is a temporary product launched to solve the mess of your distant cousin. Our current focus will be on this.

I'm sure you've seen from the documents just now that there are many venues in Squid Game that need to be built, and this will require some of your resources."

Ye Xuan waved her hands and said generously: "Use it, use it. Anyway, these are all projects I invested in, so I don't feel bad about using these resources."

After all, they are all Ye family’s resources, not her own, so it would be a waste if she didn’t use them!

……

"Brother Xingjian, I have to say this, the book 'The Three-Body Problem' you wrote is really hard to read."

In the cafeteria of Phoenix Pictures, Mei Jie complained to Bai Xingjian, "I guess many netizens feel the same as I do. After reading a few pages of The Three-Body Problem, they lost the desire to read on. Look, there are many netizens complaining about this in your book review section for The Three-Body Problem!"

Mei Jie held up her cell phone and motioned Bai Xingjian to look at the book review section of "The Three-Body Problem".

Feng Shiqi, who was sitting next to him, covered her mouth and chuckled.

She had actually talked about this topic with Bai Xingjian, and now watching Mei Jie talk to him, it had a different flavor.

"It's not a big problem. Even if you can't bear to watch it now, there are always ways to make you continue watching it." Bai Xingjian smiled and concentrated on eating.

"What do you mean?" Mei Jie was a little confused.

Bai Xingjian stopped eating and explained, "Aren't there a lot of movie and TV show commentary videos on those short video platforms now? I also plan to use this method to let more viewers understand the book "The Three-Body Problem" without any barriers. Even if they can't finish reading "The Three-Body Problem", through this method, they can at least understand what the book is about."

Hearing this, Mei Jie's eyes lit up. She raised her hand and gave Bai Xingjian a thumbs up and said, "As expected of you, Brother Xingjian. You can actually come up with such a method. You are really smart."

Bai Xingjian was a little embarrassed when he heard this: "You might as well praise me for how I wrote the book "The Three-Body Problem" and praise me for being smart enough to come up with this idea."

He was speechless for a moment.

Mei Jie laughed, "I'm tired of praising you in this regard, and you've probably heard enough of it, so I'll praise you from a different angle."

After lunch, it is naturally time for a lunch break.

Phoenix Pictures is very considerate and provides a place for rest for almost every employee.

Bai Xingjian was no exception. In his oversized office, there was a special lounge, which provided all the necessary facilities for sleeping, bathing, etc. At this moment, he and Feng Shiqi were lying on the soft big bed, each reading the comments of netizens on "The Three-Body Problem".

On Weibo, the debate about the book "The Three-Body Problem" has long been a hot topic.

The public opinion that was stirred up even prompted some celebrities, professional scholars, professors, and veteran writers and directors to speak out.

Seeing the relevant content posted by these people, Feng Shiqi couldn't help but reveal a surprised expression:

"My God, has the influence of The Three-Body Problem become so great?"

Although in her personal opinion, "The Three-Body Problem" is very well written and is definitely a rare masterpiece, the influence of "The Three-Body Problem" is still unknown.
Feng Shiqi really didn't expect that he would be so powerful.

"I'm really impressed. The book 'The Three-Body Problem' has received so much attention and praise, but there are still people criticizing it. Do these people have nothing to do after eating?"

However, Feng Shiqi still saw a lot of negative reviews about the book "The Three-Body Problem" on Weibo.

What's more, some people even say that the book "The Three-Body Problem" is just a grand marketing campaign planned by Bai Xingjian, and the content of the book is a complete mess.

Seeing these comments, Bai Xingjian couldn't help but laugh: "It's obvious that these were posted by those black fans, or some saturation attacks from abroad. It seems that they can't survive unless they come out to stir up trouble."

"So do we need to respond to something?" Feng Shiqi lay on her side on the bed, holding her chin with one hand and looking at Bai Xingjian.

"What's there to respond to? Let them curse if they want. If someone curses, someone curses back. Isn't that how the heat comes? In the end, we are the ones who benefit."

Bai Xingjian said this somewhat heartlessly.

There will be heat only when there is controversy.

Although Bai Xingjian doesn’t lack this popularity right now, he shouldn’t waste it.

Moreover, the quality of the book "The Three-Body Problem" is there. No matter how those people with ulterior motives criticize or curse it, the quality of "The Three-Body Problem" will not change at all.

Besides, the people have sharp eyes.

When everyone finds out what the real situation is, their good impression of "The Three-Body Problem" may be further enhanced.

"Then don't respond." Feng Shiqi yawned a little as he spoke.

Bai Xingjian looked at the time. It was already past 11.

He smiled and said, "How about going to sleep? We still have work to do when we get up later."

"Yeah." Feng Shiqi nodded, put the phone on the bedside table and lay down.

Bai Xingjian also fell down and lay next to Feng Shiqi.

Just when Bai Xingjian wanted to put his arm around her waist, his cell phone suddenly rang.

"Go answer the phone." Feng Shiqi pouted and buried her head in the quilt.

"I'm a little sleepy and don't want to answer it."

Bai Xingjian turned over and turned on the mute function without even checking who was calling.

The sky is big and the earth is big, sleeping is the biggest.

Then, he put his arm around Feng Shiqi's waist and took a nap together.

Qiu Zongyu, who was dozens of kilometers away, looked at the phone in his hand and didn't know what to say.

This was the first time in all these years that he failed to get through when he called someone.

"It seems that young people nowadays are a bit busy."

Qiu Zongyu sighed and stopped playing. He picked up the tablet beside him and continued reading "The Three-Body Problem".

"This book is really good. I haven't read such a good book in a long time."

……

"Xiaoyue, what's going on? It's been almost a week, right? Have you received the notice from Phoenix Pictures?"

In a rental house in Nanjiang City, Li Yue received a call from her best friend Hu Yan.

Li Yue sighed, "I didn't receive it."

"Ah? What's going on? It's been such a long time and you haven't received any notification? Even if you weren't hired, you should have received a notification to let me know, right?"

Hu Yan's rather annoyed voice came over the phone: "Phoenix Pictures is really not doing its job. It turns out that stars are still stars and cannot be trusted."

Hearing this, Li Yue didn't know what to say, but she still tried her best to explain for Phoenix Pictures:

"I joined a lot of groups, and the members of these groups are in the same situation as me. I haven't received any response from Phoenix Pictures. I guess they are still busy screening."

Hu Yan on the other end of the phone rolled her eyes, "No, Yueyue, why are you still speaking for Bai Xingjian and the others at this time? You should unite and make a scene, otherwise how long will it take for this to end?"

"Bai Xingjian is the one who provided us with jobs. Is this really a good idea?" Li Yue said with some embarrassment.

Hu Yan sneered, "Can you please stop being so polite? Although Bai Xingjian, that is, Phoenix Pictures, is the one who provided jobs to you, it has been more than a week since you sent your resumes, right? During this period, they did not give you any reply, and you did not ask Phoenix Pictures to give an explanation. This is your respect for Phoenix Pictures.

But what about Phoenix Pictures? They still haven't sent you any news, right?"

Li Yue nodded: "Yes."

Hu Yan smiled and said, "That's fine. This is disrespectful to job seekers like you. How can a company not respond to applicants for such a long time?

Look, if Phoenix Pictures doesn't respect you anymore, why should you respect them? Just find someone to expose Phoenix Pictures' behavior, otherwise they will probably just keep playing ostrich."

At this point, Hu Yan sighed, "Today's celebrities are really good at talking, but in the end they are all good at talking but not doing. People's hearts are no longer the same as they used to be!"

It was a long time since Hu Yan said this, but she still didn't get a reply from Li Yue.

"Hello? Hello? Is the signal bad?"

Hu Yan looked at her phone, her eyes narrowed slightly, "The signal is full? Why is there no sound all of a sudden?"

Before he could finish his words, a scream suddenly came from the phone.

"Ahhhh!"

After the screams, Li Yue's excited and happy voice was heard: "Xiaoyanzi, I was hired by Phoenix Pictures!!!"

"Huh? Is this true?" Li Yue looked a little stunned and had not yet recovered from this sudden change.

“Isn’t this a scam text message?”

Hu Yan looked at the text message and said confidently, "No, no, this is a text message from the official phone number of Phoenix Pictures. Ah! I was actually hired! I finally have a job!"
