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

“I think there is another possibility.”

Chu Liya took a sip of tea and said, "All of this is actually Bai Xingjian's way of saving face."

"What do you mean?" Ding Yuntao looked at Chu Liya curiously.

The same is true for Hong Xingrong.

Chu Liya coughed lightly, cleared her throat, and said:

“Netflix is ​​actually quite interested in the show ‘Knives Out’, but Bai Xingjian has no interest in Netflix.

After all, our Youshi has taken the lead in reaching a cooperation agreement with Netflix and reaped the benefits.

Bai Xingjian has a mental obsession with cleanliness in this regard, but he is not very firm about it.

This also explains why he flew all the way from Beijing to Shanghai to talk to Sophia and Charlie.

But in the end, Bai Xingjian still did not choose to cooperate with Netflix. The main reason might be that the conditions offered by Netflix did not satisfy Bai Xingjian.

In addition, Bai Xingjian has some mental mysophobia, so the cooperation between Phoenix Pictures and Netflix fell through. "

After hearing this, Ding Yuntao nodded thoughtfully.

He was still digesting what Chu Liya said.

The same is true for Hong Xingrong.

It was not until a long while later that Hong Xingrong said, "That seems to make sense."

But the next second, he changed the subject and said, "But I still feel that Bai Xingjian won't be so obedient. He has a lot of tricks up his sleeve."

"Hahaha, Brother Hong, what you said is true."

Chu Liya was amused by Hong Xingrong, "Why do I feel like you are a little afraid of Bai Xingjian? Did Bai Xingjian give you PTSD?"

After these words were spoken, Ding Yuntao also shifted his gaze over, obviously quite interested in this matter.

"It's not PTSD, but don't you think that many of the things Bai Xingjian does are hard to guard against?" Hong Xingrong said frankly.

“It seems so.”

Chu Liya nodded, then patted Hong Xingrong on the shoulder and said:
"Brother Hong, we should relax sometimes. There is no need to worry about everything all the time. If we worry about everything, we are just asking for trouble."

"Yes, Brother Hong." Ding Yuntao echoed.

"You are right." Hong Xingrong nodded, "But I think we should always keep an eye on Bai Xingjian's movements."

"..."

After hearing this, Chu Liya suddenly felt that her words were in vain.

……

"Alas, Bai Xingjian actually did not reach a cooperation agreement with Netflix."

In a girls' dormitory at Linjiang Normal University, Wang Peini said with some disappointment.

She is actually a loyal user of Netflix and has subscribed to it since the beginning of last year.

However, when you are in China, it is really troublesome to watch TV series on the Netflix platform, and you basically have to rely on scientific means of accessing the Internet.

So Wang Pei Ni often looks for pirated resources on the Internet.

"If there is no, then there is no. Anyway, it has no impact on us."

Liu Yue didn't care about this at all. She touched her hair and said:

“We have all watched the show ‘Rampage’. Even if it is introduced by Netflix, what does it matter? Do we have to watch ‘Rampage’ again on Netflix?
Although we are loyal fans of Bai Xingjian, we are not crazy enough to help him brush his stats, right? "

Although the drama "Knives Out" is indeed quite good, it is absolutely impossible for Liu Yue to watch it again on Netflix.

"Is it possible that if Netflix introduces the drama "Rampage", it will not have to worry about domestic censorship restrictions on the Netflix platform?"

Lai Jie blinked and said, "Maybe on Netflix, we can watch the complete and full-blooded version of "The Storm."

"Oh my god! It seems like this is really possible!"

Lai Jie's words were like a wake-up call, and Rossi became excited instantly.

"The complete and full-blooded version of "Crazy"?"

Wang Pei Ni also started to get excited at this moment, her eyes sparkling as she said, “If that’s the case, then it wouldn’t be a bad idea to watch “Rampage” again on Netflix.”

However, Liu Yue sneered when she heard this: "The problem is that Bai Xingjian has not yet reached a cooperation with Netflix, and even if he did, he might not be able to release the full version of "The Storm."

"Why?" Wang Penny asked in confusion.

"Because there are so many people involved, it's not just about whether or not 'Rampage' is a complete and full-blooded version."

Liu Yue smiled and said, "Think about it, if the full version of "Knives Out" is released on Netflix, whose face will it hit? Would Bai Xingjian dare to use this to hit those people in the face? Especially on Netflix, an American platform."

Although Liu Yue didn't say it directly, Wang Pei Ni, Lai Jie and Luo Xi instantly understood what she meant.

"It seems to be true." Lai Jie smiled and nodded, quite agreeing with Liu Yue's statement.

"Well, actually I really hope Bai Xingjian can slap those people in the face."

Rossi said with a rather regretful tone, "This cannot be filmed, and that cannot be broadcast. Isn't this the same as the previous closed-door development?"

"Hahaha, there's no need to be so exaggerated."

Wang Penny was amused by Luo Xi’s words, “If Bai Xingjian had this intention, even if he didn’t cooperate with Netflix, he would probably take the initiative to leak the full version of the drama “Knives Out”.

It’s just that “Crazy” has just finished airing, so I’m afraid I’ll have to wait for a while, and I may not even be able to wait.”

Liu Yue smiled and shook her head: "This is probably not going to happen. Bai Xingjian is not brave enough to openly challenge the authorities."

"Even if he has the guts, he won't be so unwise." Lai Jie said with a smile.

"Well, if you say so, then the complete version of 'Storm' will probably never see the light of day again?"

Wang Penny's tone was somewhat disappointed.

"There's probably an 80 to 90 percent chance of that happening." Liu Yue nodded.

"It's such a pity." Rossi said with the same regretful tone.

……

While many people were discussing Bai Xingjian, Bai Xingjian, the person involved, had already communicated with the director of "Squid Game".

Beijing.

The filming site of "Squid Game".

A middle-aged man wearing a fisherman's hat leaned forward slightly and said to Bai Xingjian:

“There are still some scenes that need to be filmed back in Corea, so the first nine episodes of Squidward Illusion should be finished in mid-to-late February.”

Due to the scene and cost saving, the filming process of "Squid Game" was not based on the storyline, but was based on the needs of the location. At present, the filming progress of "Squid Game" can be said to have not only filmed the first nine episodes, but also some of the content of the second and even third seasons.

After all, the venues for the games are all here, so the shooting progress of game-related content will naturally be much faster.

"Not bad, very efficient." Bai Xingjian nodded with satisfaction.

In the early stages of filming for Squid Game, Bai Xingjian was on set almost all the time, fearing that the content shot by Quan Shien would not meet his expectations.

After supervising the entire process for nearly ten days, Quan Shien basically understood Bai Xingjian's needs. The content he shot on his own also met Bai Xingjian's requirements, so Bai Xingjian was able to leave with peace of mind.

However, Bai Xingjian would still come to the shooting site to supervise whenever he had time.

Later, with the promotion and launch of "Kuang Bi", Bai Xingjian had no time to come here, and only occasionally browsed related work reports.

And now, Bai Xingjian naturally has time to spend on "Squid Game".

"It's all thanks to Mr. Bai's good guidance." Quan Shien said with a smile.

Before coming to China, Quan Shien didn't speak Chinese very fluently.

However, soon after arriving in China, his Chinese proficiency began to improve by leaps and bounds, and it was obvious that he had a positive and enterprising spirit.

The main reason was that Bai Xingjian offered him a very high salary.

Otherwise, Quan Shien would never be so motivated and even learned some of the social etiquette in China.

After all, in Corea, the director's status is still quite high.

……

During the following period of time, Bai Xingjian almost stayed on the filming site of "Squid Game".

Occasionally when he has free time, he will go to see how the construction of his planned IP park is going.

Then I discovered that the efficiency of domestic engineering teams was simply astonishing.

As expected, as long as the money is in place, nothing is impossible.

Time passes quietly.

Suddenly it was the end of February.

The first season of "Squid Game" has officially been filmed.

On the ring road in Gangnam District, Seoul, in a black nanny car, Bai Xingjian was browsing Corea's Weibo on his mobile phone, laughing with joy.

Because Phoenix Pictures and Netflix have signed a formal cooperation agreement for "Squidward Gaming".

Therefore, Bai Xingjian did not continue to hide the idea of ​​"Squid Games" and directly revealed the news that he was going to Corea to shoot "Squid Games".

While domestic netizens were surprised, netizens on Corea's side were even more shocked.

[Isn't this Bai Xingjian, who filmed All or Nothing? He actually came to our Correa to film a movie? He's quite courageous.]

[Do you really want to slap us in the face? If this Bai Xingjian film ruins our classic childhood traditional game "Squid Game", I think the criticism this time will be much louder than the previous "All or Nothing". ]

[No, are you still expecting a Chinese like Bai Xingjian to not destroy our "Squid Game"? I really don't know what to expect, he will definitely destroy it! ]

[There is no need to be so harsh on Bai Xingjian. In addition to the movie "All or Nothing", his recent TV series "Kuang Biu" was also released in China and became a hit. The popularity and ratings directly ranked first among Chinese historical TV series. It's awesome! ]

[Wow, is the drama "Kuang Bi" so popular in China? It seems that Bai Xingjian is really good! ]

[What can be said? All I can say is that the Chinese people have never tasted this kind of fine bran. ]

[That’s right, I’ve watched “Rampage” before, but TV series like “Rampage” are simply not as good as those made by our directors in Corea.]

[It is said that the director of "Squid Game" is our director from Corea, so the effect of the film should be pretty good, right? ]

[I don't think so. After all, Bai Xingjian is a Chinese. His thinking is already rigid. The things he shoots will probably be more stereotyped.]

[Is there anything interesting about the squid game? It sounds like a child playing house, not exciting at all.]

[China doesn’t allow the filming of exciting things. ]

[Since it was not allowed to be filmed, why did Bai Xingjian invite director Quan Shien to film "Squid Game"? ]

[Doesn't that mean that Squidward isn't exciting at all? ]

Seeing the speculations of many netizens in Corea about "Squid Game", Bai Xingjian in the nanny car was amused and laughed out loud.

"The netizens of this generation of Corea still don't have enough imagination."

Bai Xingjian smiled and said, "If Squid Game isn't exciting enough, then the threshold of these netizens must be really frighteningly high."

"It's mainly because the name you chose is very misleading."

Feng Shiqi, who was sitting next to Bai Xingjian, said with a smile: "When I first saw the title of this drama, I didn't think it was about a battle royale theme at all."

"Me too, me too." Mei Jie also expressed her thoughts.

"So from this perspective, when the show Squidward Gamble is broadcast, the contrast will be huge."

Bai Xingjian said with a smile that he was already looking forward to the public's reaction after the broadcast of "Squid Game".

"Why don't we just release the teaser video for Squid Game while the netizens in Corea are discussing it?" Zheng Wei interrupted.

Bai Xingjian pondered for a moment and said, "There's no rush yet. Netflix seems to have other plans for our Squid Game, so the broadcast time of Squid Game should be postponed."

Netflix has a self-produced battle royale series called "Limitless", which is planned to be broadcast at the same time as "Squidward Fever".

It’s just that the filming process of “Limitless” is rather complicated and it has not been completed yet, so Netflix naturally let “Squidward Fate” wait for “Limitless”.

"Is there an exact time?" Zheng Wei asked.

"Netflix gave the date of April 4st."

Bai Xingjian raised the corners of his mouth slightly, "It's a very special day. It's also good that Squid Game is broadcast on that day."

April 4st, International April Fools' Day.

A very topical festival.

"I can only say that Netflix has no good intentions either."

Mei Jie said with emotion: "They actually let us broadcast "Squid Game" and "Never Ending" together."

Feng Shiqi nodded and said, "On April 1st, I wonder how lively it will be on our social platforms in China, Coria, and Japan."

"I feel like Netflix could actually design a slogan similar to Squidward and Limitless, which would say, 'See you on April 4st, China, Corea, and Neon, a war of words is about to break out."

Mei Jie blinked her eyes and expressed her idea.

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone in the car was immediately amused.

"If Netflix dares to do this, it probably thinks their company is making too much money." (End of this chapter)
