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

"No, there are so many stars joining the show, right?"

In a girls' dormitory of Linjiang Normal University, Wang Peini, who had just finished watching the second episode of "Squid Game", took out her mobile phone and opened Weibo to see what netizens had to say about the show.

Before she even found the hot searches related to "Squid Game", she was surprised by a series of entries about "Spirit Lord" actors dominating the hot searches on Weibo.

When Wang Pei Ni clicked on the first hot search entry, she was stunned.

Wang Defa? ? ?
What is going on? ! !
Liu Yue also saw the relevant content at this time, and her expression was different from Wang Pei Ni's.

Even Lai Jie and Luo Xi are the same.

"I thought the plot of "Squid Game" was exciting enough, but I didn't expect there would be a master." Liu Yue said in disbelief.

"Youshi really played a very good hand this time." Lai Jie couldn't help but sigh.

Such a work of art is truly rare to come across in a century.

"There are so many famous actors and actresses. Now I want to watch the TV series "Ling Jue"."

Rossi's curiosity about "Spirit Lord" was instantly piqued by the fantastic cast.

"Is 'Squid Game' not good? Do you still want to watch 'Lord of the Rings'?" Wang Penny glanced at Rossi.

"Squidward is definitely good, but right now there are so many hot searches for Spirit Lord that I feel like ants are crawling all over my body."

Rossi didn't hide his thoughts at all.

Seeing her like this, Wang Pei Ni pursed her lips and said, "Then you go watch "Spirit Lord" by yourself. Yueyue, Xiao Jiejie and I will continue watching "Squid Game"."

Anyway, the drama "Spirit Lord" can be watched on both Youshi and Netflix China platforms, so Wang Penny didn't indulge Rossi.

"Right? Xiao Jiejie and Yueyue." After saying that, Wang Peini looked at Liu Yue and Lai Jie again.

She was also very interested in watching the drama "Spirit Lord", but "Squid Game" was more attractive to her, so Wang Penny held back.

I just don’t know what Liu Yue and Lai Jie are thinking now.

"Yes!" Lai Jie nodded heavily.

"Keep going!" Liu Yue did the same.

Seeing that both of them wanted to continue watching "Squidward", Rossi was no longer very interested in "Spirit Lord".

"Okay, okay, let's watch Squidward first and then The Spirit Lord. There's no rush anyway."

After Luo Xi finished speaking, he joined Wang Pei Ni, Liu Yue and Lai Jie in watching the movie.

After all, watching TV is always more fun when you watch it with a few people.

Standing there all by myself, how boring and lonely it is!

……

Magic City.

Useek headquarters building.

Although it was almost three in the morning.

But in this building, there are still many offices with bright lights on.

In a luxuriously decorated room, Chu Liya, Hong Xingrong and Ding Yuntao admired their great achievements together.

"Even the Weibo server went down tonight. You can imagine how big of an impact our drama "Ling Jue" has had on domestic audiences and netizens."

Chu Liya raised a glass of champagne with excitement on her face. After taking a sip, she said:
"The top ten hot searches on Weibo are all related to our "Spiritual Lord". Even "Kuang Biao" has never achieved such a scene, right? "All or Nothing" has definitely not achieved such a scene. I'm afraid even Bai Xingjian and Feng Shiqi themselves have never achieved such a feat."

"Of course it is."

Ding Yuntao smiled and nodded, his tone suddenly filled with contempt: "Bai Xingjian and Phoenix Pictures are no better than this, and even "Squid Game" has not moved on the Weibo hot search list. It can only be said that they are being suppressed by us and can't move at all!"

"Well, nowadays, big gimmicks are the way to go for TV dramas."

Hong Xingrong, who was almost full of champagne, expressed his opinion: "Take our case this time, the drama "Spiritual Lord" has been online for less than three hours, and the audience has probably watched less than four episodes, but the topic of discussion about "Spiritual Lord" is about to set a new record in China...

This gimmick really works!"

"In the traffic era, traffic is everything."

Chu Liya smiled brightly and said, "I can only say that this time, Youshi has made good use of the traffic. Our investment was not in vain."

Hearing this, Hong Xingrong sneered: "We spent such a large sum of money on the salaries of these actors, and if there is no news at all, then we will probably have to pack up and leave the Youshi Building."

"Hahahaha, that's right." Ding Yuntao laughed out loud when he heard that.

"It's a pity that 'Spirit Lord' can't be broadcast on domestic TV channels. Otherwise, the ratings would have surpassed 'Knockabout' and set a new record!"

Chu Liya sighed.

Although the drama "Spirit Lord" is a film and television drama jointly produced by Youshi and Netflix.

However, the broadcasting rights of the drama "Spirit Lord" are firmly held by Netflix.

Therefore, even though Youshi has its own video playback platform, the drama "Spirit Lord" can only be played in the Netflix section of the Youshi platform.

The role of the Youshi video platform is just an interface, an interface connecting domestic audiences and Netflix China.

"Netflix is ​​so overbearing!"

Ding Yuntao sighed, “But Netflix also has domineering strength.”

"That's true."

Hong Xingrong also nodded in agreement, then looked at Chu Liya and comforted her:
“From the current situation, the ratings of the drama “Spiritual Lord” in China are no longer important, because when it was first broadcast, “Spiritual Lord” had already caused such a big stir. There must be many viewers and netizens who think the same as us - if “Spiritual Lord” is broadcast on domestic TV channels, will the ratings surpass “Kuang Biao” and set a new record?

When domestic audiences have this idea, it no longer matters whether "Spirit Lord" is broadcast on domestic TV channels or not.

The performance of The Lord of Souls on Netflix and in the international market should be our focus.”

"Brother Xingrong is right." Chu Liya smiled, "The performance of "Spiritual Lord" on Netflix is ​​our focus."

"If that's the case, then our performance in 'Ling Jue' is very good."

Ding Yuntao interrupted and said, "At present, "The Legend" has become the most searched TV series in China on Netflix. The second place is Netflix's first work "House of Cards."

"Not bad."

Chu Liya clapped her hands happily. "What about the performance of "Spiritual Lord" on Netflix's international platform? How is it?"

Compared with Netflix China, Chu Liya pays more attention to the performance of "Spirit Lord" on Netflix's international platform.

The reason is simple. Because Netflix has been free in China these days, the data such as clicks, views and searches obtained on this platform will not be recorded in Netflix's rankings.

The reason why Netflix does this is very simple. There are a lot of Chinese people in China. In a free environment, the influx of a lot of data will have a great impact on some dramas that cannot be launched on Netflix China platform.

Therefore, during the period when Netflix China implemented a free event, Netflix excluded all the data generated from the Netflix rankings.

Of course, the rankings on Netflix China's platform will naturally run independently.

Ding Yuntao switched the software to the full version of Netflix, then opened the relevant rankings and said:

"The top searched title on Netflix's international version is Limitless from Japan. As for our Soul Lord, it ranks fifth, right next to Squidward Furious, one spot higher than it."

"Really? Then it seems that the drama "Squid Game" is really good. It can be ranked sixth."

Chu Liya was not at all surprised by the rankings Ding Yuntao mentioned.

Because everything was as expected.

The drama "Limitless" cost 1.6 million US dollars to produce. The production cost alone is enough to attract the attention of Netflix users, not to mention that the subject matter of "Limitless" is still very explosive.

As for the fact that the drama "Spirit Lord" can be ranked fifth, it can only be attributed to the efforts of overseas Chinese and some overseas students.

As for the drama "Squidward", it is still quite popular, but it only has a small number of fans like Corea, so it is very good to be ranked sixth.

"It seems like Bai Xingjian's international trip is destined to not go smoothly this time!"

Hong Xingrong smiled and said, "Not only does it have the same theme as the big-budget film Never Ending, but it also uses games from small countries and people in Corea. I really don't know what Bai Xingjian is thinking. This doesn't look good, does it?"

“Trying new things always comes at a price, and even a genius like Bai Xingjian is no exception.”

Chu Liya smiled and said.

She now has just the same attitude towards Bai Xingjian.

The halo of genius is just a matter of times creating heroes, and its value is actually just that.

A yawning sound was heard.

After chatting for so long, Hong Xingrong was a little sleepy.

His yawning was like an infectious disease, and Chu Liya and Ding Yuntao also started yawning.

Chu Liya raised her hand to check the time. "It's almost four o'clock. Nothing should happen. Let's go take a shower and go to bed. There's no point in staying up like this any longer."

It is a foregone conclusion that the drama "Spirit Lord" is known to everyone.

Therefore, Chu Liya and others no longer need to worry about these things.

"Good night then." Hong Xingrong smiled, stood up and walked towards his own lounge.

"Tomorrow is going to be a great day!"

Ding Yuntao also sighed, and waved to Chu Liya before leaving, "Good night, Sister Liya."

"Good night." Chu Liya nodded with a smile.

Then, the two of them left one after the other.

Only netizens on Weibo continued to party under the related topics of "Spirit Lord".

……

"Oh my god! This drama "Ling Jue" is going to be amazing!"

In a luxurious large flat in Gangnam District, Seoul, Mei Jie, who was lying on the sofa, exclaimed.

Then, she handed over her phone and said, "Brother Xingjian, Sister Shiqi, look, the drama "Spiritual Lord" has already dominated the top ten hot searches on Weibo. This is unheard of and unseen!"

Feng Shiqi couldn't help but widen his eyes slightly after seeing the content displayed on the mobile phone that Mei Jie handed over.

"The hot search list is full of content related to them. It seems that the cast of the drama "Ling Jue" is really impressive."

Feng Shiqi sighed and quickly picked up his phone to check Weibo.

I was so engrossed in watching "Squid Game" before that I didn't pay any attention to these things.

It would be nice to take a look at it now while we have some rest time.

"Fuck, that's awesome!"

Bai Xingjian was also surprised by the commotion caused by "Ling Jue". "Such a luxurious cast, they must have invited half of the celebrities in the entertainment industry, right? It's really a big deal!"

"Hahaha."

Seeing Bai Xingjian's big reaction, Mei Jie also laughed out loud, "Brother Xingjian, do you feel the pressure now? There is "Spirit Lord" in China, and "Endless" abroad. Our "Squid Game" is now in a situation where we are surviving in the cracks!"

"The pressure is indeed great, but it's not as exaggerated as you say."

Bai Xingjian smiled slightly, "Squid Game is not a show that can survive in the cracks. You just watched a few episodes of Squid Game. Don't you still have confidence in this show?"

Mei Jie nodded. "Squid Game is indeed very good, but good wine needs to be promoted if it is not well known. Compared with the almost sky-high exposure of "Spiritual Lord" and "Endless", the current exposure of our Squid Game is pitifully small."

"Haha, don't be so anxious, let the bullets fly for a while."

Bai Xingjian smiled, picked up his phone, opened Twitter and started browsing.

Then Bai Xingjian saw what he expected: the discussion about "Squid Game" had begun to increase gradually, and it was only a matter of time before it exploded.

After all, the quality of "Squid Game" is there.

Although there was "Limitless" before and "Lord of the Rings" after, "Squidward Guru" can still carve out a path for itself.

……

Neon, Tokyo.

In the office building of Mitsui Films.

Kitayama Masaha and the main creative team of the drama "Limitless" are naturally staying up all night tonight.

"Squid Game is really disappointing. Even Spirit Lord made such a big fuss in China, but Squid Game seems to be a bit unsuccessful in Coria?"

Kitayama Masa was holding a data report in his hand, a little surprised at the low data of "Squid Game".

A rather unbridled laugh was heard.

Jingdao shouted with a sneer, "With our "Never Endless" which is full of excitement and technology, who would want to watch a childish game like "Squid Game"?

Not to mention that Bai Xingjian is a Chinese, and many people in Coria are still boycotting him."

"Oh, I thought Bai Xingjian was so powerful, but this is all he is?"

The director of "Never Ending" Shunichi Mitsui shook his head contemptuously, "China's new generation of talented directors? Why do you feel that you are not even worthy of carrying our shoes?" (End of this chapter)
