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

Ever since YouTV announced that they were about to reach a formal cooperation with Netflix, the criticism of the drama "Just Like You" on the Internet has become much smaller.

Similarly, some netizens' enthusiasm for discussing the drama "Kuang Kuang" has also begun to decline slowly.

The reason is obvious. The cooperation between Youshi and Netflix is ​​an unprecedented one, and the impact it brings far exceeds the impact of the drama "Rampage" on domestic audiences.

After all, as a TV series, "Kuaichuang" is ultimately just a fast-moving consumer product.

Although many people on the Internet deny the view that TV dramas are fast-moving consumer goods, they cannot change the tendency of TV dramas to be consumed quickly.

The drama "Rampage" is mainly intended to provide a form of entertainment for the public. In terms of far-reaching impact and significance, it naturally cannot be compared with the cooperation between YouTV and Netflix.

Because the cooperation between Youshi and Netflix is ​​equivalent to the cornerstone of TV series such as "Knives Out". Only with the existence of this cornerstone can more high-quality TV series be delivered to the audience.

Of course, there are some TV dramas that don’t actually require this kind of delivery channel.

Take the play "Storm" for example.

After all, Penguin Video is a giant in the domestic film and television platform. With such a platform as its backing and the support of CCTV, even if Youshi and Netflix build a bridge in the future, the impact of "Knives Out" on domestic audiences will not be erased in a short time.

Unless YouTV can really get more exciting TV series from Netflix.

But the difficulty of doing so is obviously very high.

After all, the issue of cultural invasion is one that many top leaders are trying to guard against.

Besides, even if YouTV and Netflix built a bridge and started exporting some domestic TV series to overseas markets.

But do these domestic TV dramas really have a market overseas?
Overseas Chinese?

This plate is too small.

Instead of trying to attract consumers from overseas markets to create profits, it is better to firmly grasp domestic audiences and domestic consumers.

The basic base of 14 billion people is not just a casual remark.

Although it is rare for a domestic box office of "Nezha 2" to exceed billion yuan on Earth, this movie has joined the ranks of global movie box office simply by relying on the domestic consumer market.

This shows how large the domestic consumption base is.

This still has very important reference significance for the Blue Planet in the parallel world.

The current data of "Storm" has gradually revealed the strong foundation of the domestic consumer market.

From January 1 to January 4, the ratings of the drama "Kuang Da" continued to rise, breaking the highest ratings in the country since the millennium and setting a new record of 1%.

Although the ratings of the drama "Kuang Kuang" on January 1th fell for the first time since its launch, the figure of 16% can already be described as worthy of being recorded in history.

[Can you imagine it? Anyway, I can’t imagine it. There is a TV series in our country that has a viewership rating of over 4!!!]

[Fuck!!! “Crazy” is just so awesome!!!]

[The ratings broke 4? This is probably fake, right? ]

[Fuck, I think the drama "Kuang Biu" has been so popular. What does it mean to have a rating of over 4? It has never been seen before, and it will probably be hard to surpass it in the future! ]

[Finally, someone has stood up in our domestic TV drama market! The charts are no longer dominated by those romantic TV dramas starring popular stars! ]

[The drama "Kuang Biao" was directed by Bai Xingjian. Since it's Bai Xingjian, then it's fine. ]

[No matter how high the ratings of "Kuang Da" are in China, it will probably fail miserably if it is shown internationally. Only if it can win an award internationally can it be considered as a capable show. Otherwise, this rating of over 4 is just good-looking data, but has no practical value! It is all fake!]

[Everyone, I saw a Muyang dog here, take a photo of him and record it. ]

[International is your father! You still have to win an award there to be considered really talented. So many people in China watch the drama "Kuang Biao". Doesn't "Kuang Biao" have any talent? Don't you treat our Chinese people as human beings? ]

[How can the Western-loving dogs treat us as human beings? They are busy kneeling down to lick their white and black fathers. ]

[This is fucking disgusting. I think people like this should be arrested to show them who the real father is.]

[When the forest is big, there are all kinds of birds. This is normal. 】

[Am I the only one who is considering taking an overnight flight to Beijing to work as a food delivery man and deliver packages to the employees of Phoenix Pictures? ]

[What? Are you still considering it? I have already booked the ticket and can fly directly to Beijing tonight! ]

[A red envelope of 4,566! Excluding the round-trip airfare and hotel expenses, I made a profit! ]

[Damn, I'm starting to get jealous of the people working at Phoenix Pictures again. It's really nice to get a big red envelope once in a while!]

[Indeed, it’s just like a year-end bonus.]

On Weibo, many netizens discussed the issue of "Kuang Kuang" having a viewership rating of over 4.

At Phoenix Pictures, many employees couldn't help but get excited again.

"4.566%, the highest ratings in the history of domestic TV dramas! Will CEO Bai and CEO Feng continue to give out red envelopes this time?"

"This is 4,566. Our company has nearly 60 people, including the cleaning staff, so this is a total expense of 300,000..."

"Oh my god, three hundred thousand is almost two years' salary for me."

"They just gave out over 100,000 a while ago, and now they're giving out another 300,000. I'm afraid no matter what company it is, they can't afford it, right?"

"Don't underestimate Phoenix Pictures. Even if we have to pay 3 million, it will be no problem for President Bai and President Feng to handle it."

"Indeed, the ratings of 'Knives Out' are so high, so they've made a lot of money from advertising and notices."

Just as these employees said, due to the popularity of “Kuang Kuang”, invitations to various programs and business orders from various brands have come in one after another.

The actors involved in this drama, especially the main actors, have been working around the clock recently and are so busy that they are almost overwhelmed.

As "Storm" became a huge hit, their status also rose.

"So are we going to continue giving out red envelopes this time?"

In the office, Mei Jie asked Bai Xingjian with a curious look on her face.

Feng Shiqi was also seeking Bai Xingjian's opinion at this moment.

"Of course I will."

Bai Xingjian nodded affirmatively and said:

"Just like last time, with a 4.566% audience rating, red packets will be distributed to everyone, but today, no one is allowed to order takeout. Whoever orders takeout will give the red packet to the delivery guy."

The reason why Bai Xingjian did this was not to make things difficult for the delivery guys, but because when he was distributing red envelopes last time, many delivery guys, and even people who were not delivery guys, came to take advantage of the loophole.

The expression of "I won't leave unless you give me a red envelope" really disgusted the people in Phoenix Pictures. So in order to prevent such a situation from happening again, Bai Xingjian chose to do this and only give red envelopes to employees in the company.

"understood."

Mei Jie nodded, feeling a little excited but also a little regretful. She said:

"This time the red envelope is 4,566 yuan, which is not a small amount. Brother Xingjian, don't you feel bad?"

"Anyway, I feel really bad for her." Feng Shiqi interrupted.

Bai Xingjian smiled and glanced at Feng Shiqi, then responded, "I feel really bad for you, but there's nothing we can do about it. Youshi has been so popular lately, and we have to make a comeback."

The reason why Youshi is so popular is naturally because of their cooperation with Netflix.

If the ratings of "Kuang Kuang" had not continued to rise and broke the ratings record for domestic TV dramas, it would probably have been overshadowed by Youshi.

When this topic was mentioned, Mei Jie snorted, "A group of people were talking a lot, but they haven't done anything substantial yet. I guess by the time we finish updating "Crazy", the cooperation between YouTV and Netflix won't be completed yet."

Hearing this, Bai Xingjian couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Of course, this kind of thing won't happen so quickly. After all, it involves different countries and different markets. If the cooperation between Youshi and Netflix can be confirmed quickly, then there will probably be problems."

"Brother Xingjian, what about our cooperation with Netflix? When will we disclose this news?" Mei Jie asked with curiosity in her eyes.

Bai Xingjian did not tell anyone else about his attempt to cooperate with Netflix except Qiu Weirui, Ye Xuan and Feng Shiqi.

The only reason Mei Jie knew about this was because Bai Xingjian accidentally let it slip when he was chatting with Feng Shiqi one day.

Fortunately, Mei Jie was the only one in the office at that time, otherwise the news might have been leaked in advance.

"Of course we have to wait until the filming of the drama Squidward is almost finished before we can negotiate with Netflix. Otherwise, if we give Netflix a blank check, I don't know how the person in charge there will look at us."

Bai Xingjian explained slowly.

During the period when "Rampage" was broadcast online, the filming plan of "Squid Game" was naturally also carried out at the same time.

It’s just that the shooting period of the drama “Squid Game” is a bit long.

After all, the script that Bai Xingjian took out was not the first part of "Squid Game", but a collection of the first, second and third parts of "Squid Game" on Earth.

The reason for shooting all this content in one go is actually very simple.

The ultimate goal is to save money.

After all, no one knows whether any actors will maliciously raise their prices after the show "Squid Game" becomes a hit.

If this happens at that time, the loss will be huge for both the actor himself and Bai Xingjian.

Therefore, Bai Xingjian planned to finish filming all the content before the drama "Squid Game" was released to the public, so as to avoid any subsequent drama.

"When will the filming of "Squid Game" be completed?" Mei Jie continued to ask, unable to hide her curiosity.

"If it goes fast, we can finish the filming by the end of April. If it goes slow, we may have to wait until the end of May."

Bai Xingjian did not hide this information. "It will take some time to finish filming everything. However, when we reached a cooperation agreement with Netflix, we did not need to provide so much content. Only a few episodes were needed."

Bai Xingjian still has great confidence in the drama "Squid Game".

After all, on Earth, as soon as "Squidward Fever" was broadcast, it won the popularity championship in more than 190 countries and regions covered by Netflix, and topped the global streaming TV series rankings in one fell swoop.

Shows like "Wednesday", "Stranger Things" and "Game of Thrones" were all defeated by this show.

When talking about this topic, Bai Xingjian raised his hand and stroked his chin, saying, "It is estimated that after the new year, our Phoenix Pictures will be able to discuss preliminary cooperation matters with Netflix."

Compared with the cooperation between Youshi and Netflix, the cooperation between Phoenix Pictures and Netflix is ​​naturally not on the same level.

The latter cooperation is extremely complicated, after all, it involves the copyrights of many film and television dramas, as well as related religious issues in various countries and regions.

As for the former, that is, the cooperation between Phoenix Pictures and Netflix, it is very simple.

Phoenix Pictures is simply providing a film or TV series to Netflix. As long as the relevant person in charge of the Netflix platform likes the show, he or she will immediately nod in agreement and sign a contract to cooperate with Bai Xingjian.

Bai Xingjian actually didn't have any requirements, nor did he expect Netflix to sign any preferential agreement with him.

Just follow the ordinary contracts on the market.

After all, for the drama "Squid Game", apart from being broadcast on Netflix, Bai Xingjian really doesn't know any platform better than Netflix.

Especially under the premise that the drama "Squid Game" cannot be broadcast in the country.

"Alas, we can't catch the domestic base this time even if we want to."

Thinking of this, Bai Xingjian couldn't help but sigh.

On earth, the reason why the drama "Squid Game" cannot be broadcast in China is not because of any restriction on Korean culture.

Rather, the content of the drama "Squid Game" is filled with a large number of bloody and violent scenes.

In addition to this aspect, there are occasionally some content that is restricted by regulations.

Therefore, for the physical and mental health of many young people, the high walls of the country naturally blocked the drama "Squid Game" from the door.

On the other hand, on Blue Star, Bai Xingjian does not expect the drama "Squid Game" to be broadcast online in the country.

Where there is gain, there is loss; where there is loss, there is gain.

Sometimes, proactively giving up some markets and some basic bases may produce some unexpected results.

"Huh? Why do you say that?"

When Mei Jie heard what Bai Xingjian said, her eyes suddenly widened.

The reason was simple: it was the first time that Mei Jie heard Bai Xingjian talk about this topic.

At this point, Bai Xingjian had nothing to hide and spoke out his thoughts.

When they were discussing "Squid Game", many people also discussed Bai Xingjian.

Magic City.

A conference room in the Youshi headquarters building.

Originally, the topic of today's meeting was to discuss the specific cooperation matters between Youshi and Netflix.

However, the relevant person in charge of Netflix suddenly changed the topic of discussion to Bai Xingjian.

A woman with gold-rimmed glasses and blonde hair spoke:
"You just mentioned Bai Xingjian. Why does this name sound so familiar to me?" (End of this chapter)
