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

Magic City.

Useek headquarters building.

In a certain conference room, foul-mouthed voices were heard one after another.

"Our guess turned out to be correct. Bai Xingjian's Squid Game is actually a series co-produced with Netflix!"

"Yes, yes, yes, that's right!"

"Does Bai Xingjian's collaboration with Netflix seem to make you very happy?"

"Fuck Bai Xingjian! I thought our "Spiritual Lord" would be the first TV series jointly produced by China and Netflix, but I didn't expect that Bai Xingjian would get the upper hand. What a damn bastard!"

"Damn it! This kid Bai Xingjian really deserves to die!"

"Gan Gan Gan!"

The main creative team of the TV series "Spirit Lord", the main persons in charge of the marketing department of Youshi, Hong Xingrong, Chu Liya and Ding Yuntao, all "could not help but speak out" at this meeting.

The main thing is that Bai Xingjian picked the peach very quietly.

The drama "Spirit Lord" was originally planned to start its official promotion tomorrow. After all, "Squid Game" has been too popular recently, so we'd better avoid it if we can.

When the popularity of "Squid Game" in China cools down a bit, then the title of "China and Netflix's first jointly produced TV series" will be given to the drama "Spirit Lord". The popularity will definitely be explosive, and it will be easy to surpass "Squid Game".

But today, the trailer of "Squid Game" was released, and the content revealed in it was jaw-dropping for people like Hong Xingrong and Chu Liya.

"I've said before that we should release the trailer for 'Spirit Lord' earlier. There's no need to be so afraid of the impact of 'Squidward Games' in China."

Amid the scolding in the conference room, Liao Jinghui, the director of the drama "Ling Jue", sighed and said:

"I was afraid of this and that, but in the end, I was still defeated by Squidward Games. It was a huge joke."

"Indeed, I really don't know what Bai Xingjian has to be afraid of."

Lin Shishi, the producer of the drama "Ling Jue", echoed: "And being afraid of this and that, how can this accomplish anything?"

As soon as they said this, the conference room suddenly became quiet.

Members of the main creative team of "Spirit Lord" all began to look at Hong Xingrong, Chu Liya and others.

The reason why the trailer of "Spirit Lord" was released so late was because of their suggestion.

So Liao Jinghui and Lin Shishi naturally wanted to blame them.

"Okay, okay, stop looking at me like that."

Hong Xingrong waved his hands, feeling a little unhappy, "If we really need to find someone to take the blame, it shouldn't be us, but everyone should take it together.

After all, when I made this proposal, you all agreed very much.

Right? Jinghui. "

Hearing this, Liao Jinghui curled his lips and said, "Anyway, I remember that I didn't agree with your proposal at the time, but I was convinced by you later."

"Me too." Lin Shishi also nodded.

"Isn't that what it means?"

Chu Liya crossed her arms and smiled, "You guys didn't have a firm idea in your mind, and now you feel regretful, so you start to blame us, right? You can't be so two-faced."

"Two-faced? Chu Liya, who are you talking about?"

Lin Shishi was not a woman with a gentle temper, and she started arguing with Chu Liya on the spot.

"Alright, alright."

Liao Jinghui also waved his hand and was the first to give in: "What I said just now was just because I was a little angry at myself for not choosing to stick to my own ideas at that time. Now that things have come to this, it is a done deal. No matter how much I say, it cannot be undone, so let's think about how to promote the drama "Ling Jue"."

After these words were spoken, the emotions of Hong Xingrong, Chu Liya and Ding Yuntao all calmed down a lot.

Lin Shishi snorted lightly and didn't say anything else.

"At this point, the title of [the first TV series jointly produced by China and Netflix] has been taken by Bai Xingjian's Squid Game."

Hong Xingrong cleared his throat and continued, "So we have to abandon this promotional selling point of "Spiritual Lord" and choose other content as our promotional selling point. Which selling point of "Spiritual Lord" do you think is more suitable as a promotional gimmick?"

The creative team of the drama "Ling Jue" is naturally very familiar with this aspect.

After some discussion, a new gimmick emerged.

“Squidward Games focuses on the strong contrast of the fusion of children's games and battle royale genres.”

Lin Shishi said in a neither humble nor arrogant tone: "Our "Spirit Lord" focuses on the grudges and hatreds of fantasy immortals. As for the special effects of our "Spirit Lord" series, it is ten blocks ahead of "Squid Game", so it is absolutely right for us to focus on the selling point of "Spirit Lord"!"

"Not bad, not bad." Hong Xingrong expressed his affirmation of this plan.

"In addition to promoting the selling points of "Spirit Lord" itself, we can also use "Squid Game" for comparison."

Chu Liya also spoke up at this time: "There are so many topics in the play "Squid Game", and there are many topics that can be used for us."

Under the gaze of everyone in the conference room, Chu Liya smiled brightly:

“For example, Bai Xingjian’s identity, the fact that Squid Game cannot be released in China, and the most heatedly discussed topic in Corea - is Bai Xingjian a tribute to Corea, or a theft of Corea culture?

These topics can be used to compare with our "Spirit Lord".

Why is it that both Chinese and Netflix co-produced TV series like "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" can be XXX, but "Squid Game" cannot?"

As Chu Liya spoke, everyone at the conference table smiled and nodded.

Obviously everyone agreed with the plans she proposed.

“These are all very good ideas.”

Hong Xingrong cleared his throat and said, “We just need to be careful when implementing these plans and not go overboard.

After all, once you go too far, the backlash will come very quickly, and this has happened before."

Such a situation has not occurred before, and people like Hong Xingrong and Chu Liya have witnessed it.

The reversal of public opinion after the release of "Kuang Bi" directly caused "I Just Like You" and Hong Xingrong and others to suffer a major setback.

Hong Xingrong doesn't want to go through this again.

Chu Liya nodded and said with a smile: “Brother Xingrong is right to worry, but the situation of Squid Game this time is different from before.

The publicity and promotion activities organized by Bai Xingjian and the fact that "Squid Game" could not be released and broadcast in China have caused many domestic audiences to be resentful towards Bai Xingjian.

And at this time, our "Ling Jue" can come on stage.

If Squid Game can’t be shown in China, then we’ll do it with Soul Lord! If Squid Game can’t do the promotional activities in China, then we’ll do it with Soul Lord!

In short, we, "Spirit Lord", will do what "Squid Game" can do, and we, "Spirit Lord", will also do what "Squid Game" cannot do!

this time!

There is a 90% chance that the vast majority of domestic audiences and netizens will stand on our side!

So I think we can confidently implement the plans I just mentioned, there is no need to be timid! "

Chu Liya's impassioned speech excited everyone present.

When Chu Liya finished speaking, some people even took the lead in applauding.

"Good! That's very well said!"

Liao Jinghui, the director of the drama "Ling Jue", smiled and applauded.

His clapping caused everyone else to clap as well.

"This is the morale that our Spiritual Lord should have!"

“Go, go, go! Destroy that movie ‘Squid Game’ that is not worthy of being shown in the country!”

"Bai Xingjian, a Chinese, blatantly went to film Corea's "Squid Game". If you are not condemned by everyone this time, who will be condemned?"

……

While Youshi and others were enjoying the pleasant atmosphere.

Neon is a small border country far east of China.

The creative team of "Limitless" has released their trailer.

Late night in Tokyo.

The big LED screen at Shibuya Crossing was playing the trailer for Limitless on a loop.

The content is extremely eye-catching.

Chip control, laser cutting, plasma gushing, machine traps killing contestants instantly, blood and technology are fiercely intertwined, just like a picture of death from the future.

A college student named Sanben Dalang who was passing by the intersection stared at the large LED screen and almost dropped the takeaway food in his hand.

His mouth opened slightly, his eyes widened, and he muttered, "Fuck! The special effects and visuals are too awesome! They beat that crap Squid Game over in Corea!"

Sanben Dalang took out his mobile phone and recorded a while on the LED screen.

Standing here and watching the trailer was so shocking that he had to record it and brag about it online.

After all, not everyone can live in Shibuya, Tokyo.

The intersection here is also the place where many people on the Internet dream of becoming an internet celebrity!

The appearance of the trailer for "Limitless" also made Japanese netizens crazy.

The main reason is that the previous "Squid Game" was too popular, and the netizens of Korea were shooting at them every day.

Now that the trailer for "Limitless" has been released, it is natural that those who have been wronged will seek justice, and those who have been vengeful will seek revenge.

On Twitter, many Japanese netizens began to express their opinions strongly.

[I watched the trailer of Limitless three times! The blood sprayed out when the laser cut people made my heart stop! Mitsui Shunichi is awesome! The $1.5 million spent by the Mitsui Group was not in vain! The sense of technology is simply better than Bai Xingjian's Squidward Game. The pile of wooden figures in Corea feels like a kindergarten extracurricular activity homework. It made me laugh! ]

[That’s right! The robot traps and floating platforms in the trailer of “Limitless” are simply the pinnacle of science fiction and blood! ]

[Don't brag, the special effects of Limitless do look great, but what about the plot? After watching the trailer of Limitless, I just felt that it was very empty. Apart from high technology and blood, there seemed to be nothing else. The trailer of Squidward at least showed some struggles of humanity and class issues faced in real life.]

[Bakayar! Are you a Corea navy? Bai Xingjian made a low-budget "Squid Game" and it's so arrogant, it's really disgusting! ]

……

In the conference room of Mitsui Film and Television.

Kitayama Masayuki, one of the persons in charge of Mitsui Film and Television, sat at the head seat at the conference table, frowning slightly as he stared at the display screen in the conference room.

On the screen, the trailer for Limitless was playing in a loop.

Assistant Director Taro Ijima said while holding a tablet:

“After our trailer for Limitless was released, the news about it went viral on Twitter, surpassing Squidward and becoming the top search on Twitter!

Fans have been raving about the special effects in our trailer, with almost everyone saying that they were worthy of the $1.5 million it cost.

But some people also said that our trailer was too empty and that it was inferior to Squidward in terms of plot."

Jingdao Huan, the marketing director of Mitsui Films, sneered, "The plot is hollow? What kind of plot can you get from a two-minute trailer? The quality of the water army hired by Bai Xingjian needs to be improved."

"The plot is empty and the rhetoric is really inferior."

Kitayama Masa nodded with a smile and said, "The main point of our trailer is to use special effects to catch the audience's eyes and attract their attention. Wouldn't it be better to slowly reveal the plot after the audience is attracted? It is difficult to catch both ends in a trailer of more than two minutes."

"That's right!"

The director of Limitless, Shunichi Mitsui, also said with a smile: "No one said the plot of the trailer of Squidward Fate was empty, it's just because Squidward Fate has nothing to show for itself except the plot, so they can only pile up the plot in the trailer.

As for the special effects outside of the plot?
Anyway, I didn’t see any particularly outstanding special effects in the trailer of Squidward. "

At this point, Mitsui Shunichi's smile grew wider:
"I feel that the special effects of our "Never Ending" are not only ten blocks ahead of "Squidward Fever", but ten orders of magnitude ahead!"

"Although I really want to say that it doesn't have to be so exaggerated, but when I think of the special effects made by the Chinese..."

Jingdao pursed his lips and nodded, saying, "A difference of ten orders of magnitude is not impossible."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone in the conference room burst into laughter.

The Magic City of China, thousands of miles away.

The smiles on the faces of the Youshi people, who were delighted with the new plan just a second ago, froze after seeing the promotional trailer of "Limitless".

"No, what's going on recently? We haven't even released the trailer for "Spiritual Lord", so why is Mitsui Films from Japan interfering again?"

"Is it a question of whether to interfere or not? The special effects of Limitless are really too good now!"

"It's over, it's over. If our "Spiritual Lord" really wants to use special effects as a selling point, then it will definitely be blasted to pieces by "Endless"!"

"I'm really fucking with Bai Xingjian! Why do some unforeseen accidents always happen every time we try to deal with Bai Xingjian?" (End of this chapter)
