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

"It's almost ten o'clock, why hasn't Bai Xingjian posted a single Weibo post?"

"And it's not just Bai Xingjian who didn't post on Weibo, even the official account of Squid Games didn't post on Weibo."

"The case has been solved. Although Squid Games did not post on Weibo in China, it still posted relevant online information on Corea and international social platforms."

"Sure enough, Bai Xingjian finally gave up the domestic market!"

"I have no choice but to give up. Squid Game can't be released in China, and Bai Xingjian still has the nerve to ask domestic audiences for support? If I were Bai Xingjian, I would never do such a thing."

"Hahaha, who said no?"

In a girls' dormitory of Linjiang Normal University, Wang Peini, Liu Yue, Lai Jie and Luo Xi are having a heated discussion.

Just as they said, there were less than two hours left until midnight on April 4st.

However, on the domestic social platform Weibo, Bai Xingjian and the official account of "Squid Game" did not release any news, as if they had lost contact, which made many domestic netizens give up.

Of course, it also reassured many domestic netizens.

Magic City.

U-View Office Building.

Although it was late at night, the lights were still on here.

"Bai Xingjian hasn't posted any Weibo posts yet. It seems he really intends to give up the domestic market."

Chu Liya said as she looked at the content on her phone.

Over the past few hours, Chu Liya has been paying close attention to Bai Xingjian's Weibo, fearing that he might do something outrageous again.

For example, let his fans go to Netflix's international platform to support his "Squid Game".

But judging from the current situation, Bai Xingjian's face is not that big yet.

“You can’t not give up.”

In the office, Ding Yuntao said with a smile: "If there were no Netflix China and UTV, it would be as difficult for domestic audiences to watch TV series on Netflix International as washing their hair while standing upside down."

"Indeed, there is no need to talk about circumventing the firewall, it's very simple, but it's just a subscription to Netflix."

Hong Xingrong smiled and said, "The payment process will probably make the client suffer."

Chu Liya also felt the same way about this matter.

She nodded vigorously and said, "I remember that I was persuaded to quit Netflix because of this link. The overseas payment process is too complicated."

“I just don’t know if Netflix’s international platform has kept up with the times and connected to WeChat payment and domestic bank card payment interfaces.”

Ding Yuntao said with a smile.

The reason he said this is because Netflix China has already connected to the relevant interface.

When domestic users use it, they no longer have to spend money like they can with the international version of Netflix.

“I’m afraid this plan will be difficult to implement.”

Chu Liya smiled, looked at the time, and said with emotion:

"In less than an hour and a half, 'Spiritual Lord' will be online. This is really exciting!"

Ding Yuntao nodded: "I guess there are already many viewers sitting in front of their computers or holding their phones, excitedly waiting for Netflix China to go online."

"It's not as crazy as you say. There's still an hour and a half left."

Hong Xingrong smiled and waved his hands, "Although the cooperation between Youshi and Netflix is ​​a groundbreaking one, we don't have many fanatical fans of Youshi. I guess this situation will only happen after the list of leading actors is revealed."

So far, the cast list of the drama "Ling Jue" has not been revealed.

The purpose is to wait until "Spirit Lord" is released online before exposing it, and then to attract the attention of the fans of these actors.

Chu Liya smiled and nodded, "In that case, tonight will probably be a sleepless night."

"I can only say that those who stay up late tonight are blessed." Ding Yuntao also sighed.

……

Just as Chu Liya, Ding Yuntao and others said, there are indeed quite a few people waiting for "Ling Jue" to be launched in the early morning tonight.

Of course, many viewers are also looking forward to how many TV dramas and variety shows they can watch on this platform after Netflix is ​​launched in China.

If the quantity is large enough and the quality is good, it is okay to buy a membership to support it.

In addition to these normal viewers, some black market operators have also set their sights on Netflix.

After all, there are so many resources on the Netflix platform, and during the period when it is available in China and is free, there may be some unexpected gains.

……

Neon, Tokyo.

On the large LED screen at Shibuya Crossing, the countdown to the release of the theme movie "Limitless" was scrolling.

02:31:56
……

02:31:53
……

02:31:50
……

"I just don't understand why Limitless was released at 1am."

At the intersection, a little girl wearing black-framed glasses and twin ponytails asked in confusion.

"I don't understand either. It's one o'clock in the morning, not one o'clock in the afternoon. What is Netflix doing?" said the person who was traveling with the girl with the ponytail.

"According to convention, a drama with a huge production budget like Limitless should be released on time at midnight Pacific time, right? But this time it was released at 1am, which is really confusing!"

"I guess it's to facilitate the Chinese version of 'Spiritual Lord'. After all, the show was released at midnight in China, which coincides with our time at 1 a.m."

"That seems to be the case. After all, the extremely popular Squid Game in Corea was also launched at 1 a.m."

"But what is the basis for the drama "Ling Jue"? Everyone has to follow its schedule?"

"Because the country behind Ling Jue is China. I don't need to say much about the weight of China in the international community, right?"

"Tsk, they're not even a developed country, how can they compare with us?"

"Maybe compare it to those sports cars that hit the streets in broad daylight in Shanghai."

"Let's go, the light is red for a left turn."

……

Unlike the big investment of Mitsui Pictures, Bai Xingjian did not spend money on the LED screens in major business districts in Seoul to countdown to the release of "Squid Game".

Anyway, "Squidward Gaming" and "Limitless" were both released at the same time, and when people discuss the show "Limitless", they often mention "Squidward Gaming".

So this is equivalent to Bai Xingjian saving a lot of publicity and promotion expenses.

"Squidward Games is going to be online tonight. Are you nervous?"

In a luxurious large flat somewhere in Jiangnan District, Feng Shiqi asked Bai Xingjian.

At this time, the two of them were snuggling on the sofa, watching the oversized TV hanging on the opposite wall.

The content broadcast on TV is a variety show originally produced by Netflix called "Single is Hell".

"It would be a lie to say I wasn't nervous."

Bai Xingjian smiled and said, "But I'm only a little nervous. I believe in the content we produced."

Feng Shiqi smiled slightly when he heard this.

"Sure enough, Brother Xing Jian is still so confident!" Mei Jie, who was sitting next to him, exclaimed with a smile:
"Then I'm going to see how good this Squidward Game is tonight."

Not long after the words fell, Bai Xingjian's cell phone suddenly rang with a ringtone that made his heart rate soar.

Alert rings.

"I'm going to make a phone call." Bai Xingjian quickly turned off the alarm. The ringtone was really frightening. "Go ahead." Feng Shiqi smiled and patted his head.

Rolling up from the soft thighs, Bai Xingjian walked to the balcony with his cell phone in hand.

The purpose of making this call is very simple, which is to confirm whether the peripheral products related to the IP of "Squid Game" are all ready and ready to be put on the shelves.

Once the drama "Squid Game" is released, the peripheral products of "Squid Game" will naturally be listed on major e-commerce platforms.

After investing so much money in "Squid Game", it's time to get some return.

So Bai Xingjian would naturally not miss out on the peripheral products of "Squid Game".

Moreover, this is just the beginning of Bai Xingjian's IP Paradise.

Maybe no one is thinking so much at the moment, but in the future, many people will probably remember this night.

Because this night seems to be the beginning of everything.

After finishing the call, Bai Xingjian walked briskly back to the living room.

I looked at the time and found that there were still two hours left.

"Do you want to go to sleep for a while?" Bai Xingjian suggested as he looked at Feng Shiqi who had already lay down on the sofa.

As soon as he finished speaking, Bai Xingjian sat back on the sofa.

Of course, because Feng Shiqi was lying down, he could only hold Feng Shiqi's calf and let it rest on his thigh.

It was the last day of March and it was already spring, so the temperature was very suitable.

Feng Shiqi was not wearing socks, and even her pants were just white casual cropped pants.

Therefore, in the current posture, you can clearly see a smooth and white calf and a delicate ankle.

Perhaps because she had just washed her feet, Feng Shiqi's ankles were like jade carvings, with very soft curves and the instep was as white as porcelain, with faint blue veins visible.

Following the curve of the instep, there are slender and well-proportioned toes, arranged from short to high and from high to short in a perfect manner.

Her nails were painted with light pink nail polish, which gleamed under the light in the living room, like ten crystal clear little pearls.

Feng Shiqi swung her feet casually, her toes stretching flexibly, as if she was an elf playing in the water.

"Don't wander around."

Bai Xingjian took the opportunity to hold her feet and stroke them gently.

Feng Shiqi glanced at Bai Xingjian, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing an expression that seemed to be a smile but not a smile.

"I can't sleep. Can you sleep?" Feng Shiqi said.

"I can't sleep either."

Bai Xingjian was playing with it very attentively, as if he was playing with his favorite toy.

"Brother Xingjian, what are you doing? I'm still here." Mei Jie on the side complained.

Hearing this, Feng Shiqi tried to pull his foot back, but it was impossible.

"It's okay. I'm giving your sister Shiqi a massage."

Bai Xingjian was unmoved and even complained back: "Go watch your variety show, don't worry about adult matters as a kid."

Mei Jie curled her lips when she heard this, but didn't say anything else.

Feng Shiqi glared at Bai Xingjian, then tried to pull back with force.

Then I found that I still couldn't pull it out, so I had to give up.

She whispered, "I suspect you are ill. You need to see a psychiatrist."

“I also suspect that I am sick.”

Bai Xingjian nodded in agreement, and then said under Feng Shiqi's expectant gaze:

"If you are sick, you need to take medicine, and the medicine is in my hand, so I will take it."

Feng Shiqi's expression froze, and his eyes widened. "You are really very ill."

……

"Ten minutes! Ten minutes left!"

In a girls' dormitory at Linjiang Normal University, Wang Peini said excitedly.

Tonight, not just their dormitory, but many surrounding dormitories were studying late into the night.

Of course, some of them watched it for the drama "Spirit Lord", some watched it for the drama "Squid Game", and some stayed up late to watch the Netflix platform.

As for Wang Pei Ni's dormitory, needless to say, they must have stayed up late to watch the TV series "Squid Game".

"Trouble, this is so troublesome!"

Wang Pei Ni looked at the content on the computer screen and said with emotion: "I have to buy traffic to bypass the firewall and a Netflix membership. After all this, I spent hundreds of dollars and a lot of time. Finally, I got all of this done!"

The content displayed on the computer screen at this time is the details page of the drama "Squid Game" on the Netflix international version platform.

【To be launched】

"I can only say that the threshold for supporting Bai Xingjian has been raised a lot this time."

Liu Yue, who experienced this personally, naturally felt the difficulty of watching Netflix's international version in China.

If she had to do these things herself, she would rather not watch "Squidward".

"I can only say it's worth it. At least we don't have to look for resources to watch foreign dramas in the future." Lai Jie said with a smile.

"Xiao Jiejie, Xiao Jiejie, without you we can't even watch this show on Netflix!"

Rossi said with emotion: "If you really want to watch dramas on Netflix, I feel that the membership fee is a small matter, and the traffic required to watch the drama is the big expense."

Lai Jie purchased Netflix's premium membership, which costs 175 yuan a month and allows her to watch 4K+HDR.

Although the campus network speed is not low, there is no problem running a gigabit speed.

But the problem lies on the ladder side. The 4K+HDR picture quality requires a lot of traffic.

By that time, I estimate that after watching one episode of "Squidward Games", half of the package data of the ladder will be used up.

Who can bear this!

"Don't worry about this!"

Lai Jie waved her hand and said proudly, "I have already asked my cousin about this problem. He will give us a ride on our special airport shuttle bus in a while. There will be no speed limit or traffic limit."

"I rely on!"

Hearing this, Wang Pei Ni jumped up from her seat in excitement, hugged Lai Jie and started kissing her:
"Xiao Jiejie, you are my god!"

"Six, six, six! You really are worthy of being the little rich lady in our dormitory!" Luo Xi gave Lai Jie a thumbs up.

“It’s great to have money!”

Liu Yue crossed her arms and laughed as she said, "It's better to have a rich roommate! Hahahaha!"

After a burst of joy, the girls returned to their original positions.

Just because the time has come to 23:58.

In less than two minutes, the drama "Squid Game" will be online!
"We have worked so hard to support Bai Xingjian, and we hope that his "Squid Game" will not disappoint us."

Wang Penny picked up the coffee and took a sip, her heart full of anticipation for "Squid Game".

Liu Yue nodded and also picked up a cup of coffee to drink: "We stayed up late and went to great lengths to climb over the wall to watch Squid Games. If Squid Games is not good, Bai Xingjian must kowtow to us!"

Rossi: “I strongly agree!”

Lai Jie smiled but did not speak. (End of this chapter)
