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

Magic City.

Inside a luxury hotel.

Ding Yichen, the male lead of the drama "I Just Like You", felt like the sky was falling after receiving the relevant news from Wang Bowen.

"Why? Why does Wang Bo want to cut the publicity and promotion budget for "I Just Like You"?"

Ding Yichen held his phone tightly in his hand and shouted hoarsely, "Is it because the popularity and ratings of the drama "Kuang Biao" on the first day were higher than those of "Just Like You"? Or did Wang Bowen and Bai Xingjian reach some secret agreement in private?"

Ding Yichen's agent Lu Xiulan sighed with some regret after hearing his roar:

"It's probably both possible, but the main reason is that the quality of the show is so impeccable that there's basically nothing to fault with it."

Lu Xiulan has watched the fifth and sixth episodes of "Kuangchuan" which were broadcast last night.

After watching these two episodes, she only had one feeling, that is:
Why are there such good TV series in the world?
When she watched the first four episodes of "The Storm", she just felt that the show was pretty good and had a lot of new ideas compared to previous anti-gangster crime dramas.

But at that time, Lu Xiulan had not yet felt so hopelessly disappointed with the play "Kuangchuan".

However, after watching the five or six episodes of "Kuang Da" updated last night, Lu Xiulan was deeply attracted to the drama.

Gao Qiqiang began to turn evil, Xu Jiang frequently delivered golden sentences...

These completely hit Lu Xiulan's climax.

So much so that she couldn't even say anything inappropriate about the plot of the drama "Kuang Bao" in front of Ding Yichen.

Because she felt that she had fallen deeply in love with this drama!
"Why is Bai Xingjian such a genius?"

Lu Xiulan sighed in her heart that she almost ignored Ding Yichen's feelings.

"So just because there's nothing wrong with the drama 'Kuang Bi', the drama 'Just Like You' was directly abandoned? I, the leading male role, was also abandoned?"

Ding Yichen now feels like he has lost all desire to live.

During the promotion of the drama "I Just Like You", he released a new album.

Then the songs in the new album were ridiculed by the entire Internet because they were too unique.

Not to mention that he didn't earn some high-quality traffic, what made Ding Yichen most angry was that netizens kept putting all the blame on him.

During that period, if it weren't for Bai Xingjian's support, Ding Yichen didn't know how to continue to persevere.

But now?

Suddenly, Ding Yichen thought of a lot of things.

"So is it true that Bai Xingjian is the reason for both success and failure?"

Ding Yichen muttered to himself, as countless thoughts flashed through his mind.

"The beginning of a story is always beautiful..."

During the time when he was mocked by the entire Internet, Ding Yichen got through it with the support and solidarity of Bai Xingjian.

However, when the publicity and promotion resources of the subsequent drama "Kuang Biao" were gradually surpassed by "I Just Like You", netizens' voices changed again.

Everyone started saying that Bai Xingjian’s support for Ding Yichen was just to use "Kuang Biao" to take advantage of the popularity of "I Just Like You".

At that time, Ding Yichen had already walked out of the mud of being ridiculed by the entire network, and was replaced by another state of high spirits.

Therefore, I quite agree with the statement that "Bai Xingjian brought "Kuang Biao" to ride on the popularity of "I Just Like You"."

So Ding Yichen did not express any opinion.

Sometimes not expressing an opinion represents an opinion.

Ding Yichen's acquiescence boosted the morale of fans of "I Just Like You", while Bai Xingjian's fans felt like they had wasted their kindness.

Now Ding Yichen is facing this situation, and in his eyes it feels like a tit-for-tat situation.

"But why did the target of this tit-for-tat have to be Bai Xingjian?"

"Why is it him!!!"

Perhaps he just couldn't get over this hurdle in his heart, Ding Yichen, who had been muttering to himself, suddenly started roaring.

This scared Lu Xiulan who was standing by.

"Before, I assumed that Bai Xingjian was using 'Kuang Biao' to take advantage of the popularity of our 'I Just Like You'. It didn't cause Bai Xingjian to lose anything, right? He was just laughed at by some of our fans."

Ding Yichen, who was gritting his teeth on the sofa, clenched his fists and continued:
"But what about me? I don't even have the publicity and promotion resources for the crew anymore. My interests are really being damaged!"

Ding Yichen couldn't understand why he was the one who suffered the most in the end.

Seeing him in this state, Lu Xiulan also comforted him:

"Yichen, it has already happened. There is no point in dwelling on it any longer. So you should just relax and take it easy. It's just an idol drama. You will have another opportunity like this in the future."

Before "I Just Like You", Ding Yichen became a popular young actor in the entertainment industry with the drama "The Legend of Sword and Fairy".

So no matter whether the drama "I Just Like You" becomes a hit or not, it actually doesn't have that much impact on Ding Yichen.

But in Ding Yichen's mind, he didn't think so.

“Is there really still a chance?”

Ding Yichen looked at Lu Xiulan with a trembling voice, "Sister Lan, have you not yet felt Bai Xingjian's influence? If he can gain a foothold in the TV drama circle with the drama "Kuang Biao", I wonder how many people in this circle will become his fans, or even his running dogs.

By that time…”

At this point, Ding Yichen laughed miserably: "As a little actor who has offended Bai Xingjian, how can I still have a good life?"

Lu Xiulan frowned as she listened to Ding Yichen's words.

At first she felt that what Ding Yichen said made sense, but when she thought about it carefully...

All I can say is that Ding Yichen really overestimates Bai Xingjian.

No matter how capable Bai Xingjian is or how good his personal character is, he cannot determine the will of everyone in the TV drama circle, right?

Moreover, Bai Xingjian's current path has nothing to do with the idol drama circle that Ding Yichen is in.

Even if we offend Bai Xingjian, so what? We are not working for Bai Xingjian for a living, do we still need to look at his mood?
Although Lu Xiulan likes the movie "Kuang Du" directed by Bai Xingjian very much, but when it comes to major issues and matters concerning personal interests, Lu Xiulan can still distinguish which side is the big head and which side is the small head.

However, she did not tell Ding Yichen her thoughts. Instead, she blinked her eyes and asked him curiously:
"So what are you going to do?"

Hearing this question, Ding Yichen smiled bitterly again: "What can I do? Can't I just wait to die now? How can a small actor like me compete with Bai Xingjian? He has capital! Do I have the capital to compete with him?"

Although Ding Yichen likes to complain about this and that, he still has a very clear understanding of himself.

He didn't think he had any ability or capital to compete with Bai Xingjian or the drama "Kuang Biao".

"That's true."

Lu Xiulan smiled and nodded, and there was a hint of relief in her eyes as she looked at Ding Yichen.

What she feared most was that Ding Yichen would be overwhelmed by the anger at the moment and do something from which there was no going back.

But from the current point of view, Ding Yichen is still quite sensible.

However, when Ding Yichen heard Lu Xiulan's words of approval, he felt as if his heart was stabbed hard.

Lies don't hurt people, the truth is the sharpest knife. Ding Yichen sighed and collapsed on the sofa.

Lu Xiulan couldn't help but sigh, patted his shoulder and comforted him:

“In fact, the play ‘Rampage’ is not invincible, it just has one fatal flaw.”

As soon as these words came out, a little light suddenly appeared in Ding Yichen's eyes.

He immediately turned his gaze to Lu Xiulan.

……

March 1, 3 a.m.

The creative team of "Kuang Da" announced the ratings data of the drama "Kuang Da" for the second time.

As soon as it was announced, before fans had time to rejoice, the creative team of "Storm" and related employees of Phoenix Pictures had already started to have fun.

An office area of ​​Phoenix Pictures.

"With a 2.522% audience rating, our show is taking off!"

"It's more than just taking off, it's simply soaring!"

"Our show 'Kuang Biao' has taken the lead in TV ratings. Now I wonder who dares to say that 'Kuang Biao' is not good."

"I just want to know who else it is!"

"Boss Bai is awesome!"

"Boss Bai is giving out red envelopes!"

Hearing the staff's jeers, Bai Xingjian waved his hand and said cheerfully:
"Give out a red packet of 2522 to every employee in our company, including the cleaning lady and the delivery guy who delivered the food today. No one should be left out!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the eyes of all the staff on the scene widened.

"???!!!"

"Oh my god! A red envelope of two thousand five hundred and twenty-two?"

"real or fake?!"

"Oh my God! This is the first time I've received such a big red envelope since I was a child!"

"Who isn't? I'm already 33, and the biggest red envelope I've ever received was from my childhood friend's best man at her wedding, which was a full 1,200 yuan!"

"Niu Niu Niu, the biggest red envelope I've ever received was only 500 yuan."

"Aren't you surprised by Mr. Bai's last words? Even the delivery guy who came to deliver food today can get a big red envelope of 2522!"

"This is the first time in my life that I want to deliver food so much."

The staff at Phoenix Pictures’ office were engaged in a heated discussion.

Bai Xingjian coughed lightly, and everyone instantly fell silent again.

Under the gazes of many people, Bai Xingjian smiled and said, "General Manager Feng is in charge of the red envelopes. You can follow her arrangements for the specific distribution."

Currently, the financial power of Phoenix Pictures is in the hands of Feng Shiqi, so even though Bai Xingjian is now worth over 100 million yuan, when it comes to specific expenses, he still has to get Feng Shiqi's approval.

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a burst of booing in the audience again.

There are two CEOs in Phoenix Pictures, one is Mr. Bai and the other is Mr. Feng.

Although the relationship between these two people has not been officially announced, for everyone, it has been like this whether it is officially announced or not, and it has long been commonplace.

After all, when working at Phoenix Pictures, the thing you have no shortage of is dog food from President Bai and President Feng.

Hearing everyone's booing, Feng Shiqi, who was dressed in an OL outfit next to Bai Xingjian, raised her eyebrows, and the booing voices disappeared instantly.

Under everyone's gaze, Feng Shiqi said in a clear and crisp voice:
"Everyone should concentrate on work first. The red envelopes will be distributed at noon when you get off work."

Soon after the words were spoken, many people present returned to their workstations with excitement, excitement and joy.

Bai Xingjian's waist was inevitably twisted by Feng Shiqi.

Of course, apart from Mei Jie, no other employees saw what happened between them.

Looking at Mei Jie who was laughing secretly with her hands covering her mouth, Bai Xingjian said unhappily, "Mei Jie, why are you still here? Don't you need to buy red envelopes? Don't you need to raise cash? Hurry up and do your work."

Mei Jie, who was covering her mouth while laughing, could no longer laugh after hearing these words and just stood there in a daze.

However, when she thought about the big red envelope of 2522 yuan she could get today, after asking Feng Shiqi about the relevant matters, she jumped away and went to make relevant preparations.

While everyone at Phoenix Pictures was happy, many people at Youshi had bitter faces.

"1.762% viewership..."

"Can anyone tell me why the ratings of our show 'I Just Like You' dropped instead of increasing yesterday?"

"It's an extra episode, and it's a climax plot, but in the end, four episodes were released, and they can't even beat the two episodes of "The Rush"?"

“It’s just hilarious!”

In a conference room of the U-View Building, a middle-aged man in a suit and slightly plump stood in front of the conference table and shouted angrily.

His name is Hong Xingrong. He is one of the main persons in charge of UTV Pictures, and the sector he is in charge of is the TV drama sector under UTV.

All of the TV series produced by Youshi that Hong Xingrong has been involved in in the past have become hits in the market without exception.

So this time in the drama "I Just Like You", he didn't take it seriously and felt like he was letting it go.

Therefore, during the promotion and launch of the drama "I Just Like You", he did not ask much about it, but was communicating new business dealings with a platform abroad, and having a good time by the way.

But when he returned to Youshi today and got the relevant data of "I Just Like You" and several TV series of the same period.

Hong Xingrong even wanted to kill someone.

The ratings have been declining instead of increasing, the ratings have been crushed by TV series on the Penguin platform, and the discussion on Weibo has been crushed...

After seeing these data, Hong Xingrong felt ashamed to return to China.

Why are all the people under him so useless?

Hong Xingrong's eyes swept over everyone at the conference table.

Wherever he goes, the person involved feels like he is being stabbed in the back.

For a moment, no one in the conference room spoke.

"What's wrong? Are you all mute?"

Hong Xingrong sneered, and soon his eyes locked on a short-haired woman, sneering and saying:

"Chu Liya, didn't you talk a lot before? Come on, tell us your own insights now."

After these words came out, Chu Liya's body couldn't help but tremble.

Obviously, the pressure Hong Xingrong put on her was extremely high. (End of this chapter)
