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

"nothing?"

Chu Liya raised her head and looked at everyone at the conference table.

Still no one answered, but someone shook his head in his seat.

"alright."

Chu Liya didn't say much. "Since no one has watched the original version of Squid Game, let's go back and watch it this time. And write down what you learned from watching it. Please hand in the report next Monday."

After these words were spoken, no one in the room said anything more.

After all, they had done this kind of thing many times before, and it was indeed quite rewarding.

"Ling Jue has just been launched and everyone is very busy, so I won't bother you for now. Let's go."

Chu Liya said the last sentence, and the meeting was adjourned after less than ten minutes.

Everyone at the conference table was quite surprised.

But everyone was an old hand, so no one said much, and they all followed their team and left.

Only Chu Liya, Hong Xingrong and Ding Yuntao, the three main persons in charge, remained here.

After everyone had left, Chu Liya sighed, as if all her energy had been drained out of her:

"What the hell is going on here? Squid Game suddenly became a global hit?"

Chu Liya is still a little confused now.

She couldn't understand why "Squid Game" became such a hit.

"Limitless" from Japan next door spent such a huge investment but it was not as popular as "Squidward Fever".

Moreover, "Squid Game" mainly borrows from the Corean culture.

Is there anything worth seeing in the culture of a tiny place like Coria?

Chu Liya simply couldn't understand.

"Small fire depends on support, big fire depends on luck. I can only say that Bai Xingjian is damn lucky."

Hong Xingrong said angrily.

He was also depressed by "Squid Game" at the moment.

When "Spirit Lord" dominated the top ten hot searches on Weibo yesterday and crashed the Weibo server, Hong Xingrong was still fantasizing that he would definitely crush Bai Xingjian with the drama "Spirit Lord" this time and let Bai Xingjian taste what he, Hong Xingrong, had tasted before.

But now?
Less than a day has passed since Hong Xingrong’s fantasy came true, and "Squid Game" has become a global hit?
Oh my God, you can't play tricks on me like this!

“Are you too optimistic about the prospects of Squidward?”

Seeing Chu Liya and Hong Xingrong looking so discouraged, Ding Yuntao also expressed his own thoughts:

"The current situation is most likely that Squidward Gone Wild was just lucky and became a global hit for a short time. Moreover, Squidward Gone Wild has only been on the air for less than a day, and many people probably haven't finished watching it. The temporary excitement of the plot is nothing. The key is to be able to maintain stability in the future."

After saying this, Ding Yuntao smiled and asked Chu Liya and Hong Xingrong:

"Have you forgotten the show "Kuaishou"? The situation when "Kuaishou" was launched was very similar to the current situation, right? But what about the follow-up? Didn't the plot still collapse?
So, let Bai Xingjian and the others be proud for a while, who knows what will happen in the future!"

That’s what Ding Yuntao thought.

The netizens who have now jumped out to praise "Squid Game", whether they are from abroad or at home, have probably only watched two or three episodes and can't contain their excitement and speak out.

Is there any reference value for speeches made in this state?

Not at all, right?
As long as the subsequent plot of "Squid Game" collapses, those who jump out to praise this drama now will be doomed to be clowns.

So there is absolutely no need to be misled by the remarks made by these people.

After listening to Ding Yuntao's explanation, Chu Liya and Hong Xingrong nodded in agreement.

“That’s true.”

Having said that, Chu Liya couldn't help but sigh and continued, "But now we have to admit that the show "Squid Game" has entered the eyes of Netflix users around the world. In the history of film and television dramas on the entire Blue Planet, how many dramas have accomplished such a feat? This is indeed very enviable!"

Hearing this, Hong Xingrong couldn't help but sneered and said, "This kind of thing can't be achieved by envy. This kind of thing depends entirely on fate. If it's in your destiny, then it will happen. If it's not in your destiny, then it won't happen."

"Hey."

Chu Liya continued to sigh and said, "I guess Bai Xingjian must be so happy right now, right? Squid Game is dominating Netflix's global charts, and its peripherals are sold out. How much money can it make!"

When this topic was mentioned, Hong Xingrong's heart also started to itch: "Fortunately, "Squid Game" was not released in China. If it was released in China, he would probably make more money! It's really unfair!"

Seeing the two of them discussing these topics here, Ding Yuntao was a little speechless.

"'Spirit Lord' has just been online for a short time, and there are still many important things that need us to deal with. Let's discuss 'Squid Game' when we have time." Ding Yuntao said.

Hearing this, Chu Liya shrank her head, obviously a little embarrassed.

Hong Xingrong, a big and strong man, didn't feel anything.

Soon, the three of them left the meeting room and started working on matters related to "Spirit Lord".

Anyway, "Squid Game" cannot be broadcast online in the country.

In this case, shouldn't "Spirit Lord" take control of the domestic market?
……

The afternoon of April 4st.

Bright sunshine illuminates the living room.

Xiaonan was curled up on the sofa, holding his cell phone in his hand, his brows tightly furrowed.

He was browsing Weibo on his mobile phone at the moment. The screen was full of topics related to "Squid Game", and netizens were discussing it very intensely.

The more Xiaonan read on, the more he felt itchy. He slid his finger across the screen and muttered, "Is this Squid Game so popular? I must check it out, too!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Xiaonan clicked directly into the Netflix app and found the page for "Squid Game".

Then I found out that I needed to purchase a membership to watch this show.

Xiaonan looked at the membership prices and found that the cheapest membership cost more than 60 yuan.

He looked through his own piggy bank and found that he only had more than 20 yuan in pocket money, which he had saved for more than half a month.

Xiao Nan's heart immediately sank, "What kind of membership is Netflix? It's so expensive! Even if I had to eat instant noodles for a month, I probably wouldn't be able to afford it!"

He wailed and collapsed on the sofa like a deflated ball.

At this time, my sister Xiaohui came out of the kitchen with a plate of freshly cut apples.

She is three years older than Xiaonan, wears a ponytail and a loose sweatshirt.

Xiaohui happily stuffed a piece of apple into her mouth, and then she noticed her brother's situation.

Seeing him lying there with a bitter face, Xiaohui couldn't help asking: "What's wrong with you? It's as if someone owes you money." Xiaonan turned over from the sofa and looked at her eagerly: "Sister, the drama "Squid Game" is really popular. I want to watch it, but Netflix membership is too expensive. I can't afford it!"

Xiao Hui chewed an apple and rolled her eyes. "Even you know about Squid Game? You're pretty trendy, but didn't the drama Soul Lord just come online? There are some great stars, and it's a fairy tale? Don't you like it? More importantly, Soul Lord is free to watch right now. Isn't it good to watch it?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Xiaohui picked up the remote control on the coffee table, turned on the TV, tuned to the "Ling Jue" page, and started playing.

Xiao Nan pouted, hugged the pillow and turned away: "It's not that I don't like watching fairy tales, it's that the male lead named Yang Yangyang is too out of place. I don't think any of the TV series he starred in are worth watching. He always has a stern face. What kind of fairy tale is this? Isn't it better for him to play a domineering CEO?"

Xiaonan has a physiological aversion to Yang Yangyang.

Hearing what he said, Xiao Hui sneered, "What you said makes sense."

Xiaonan continued, "Squid Game is much better than Soul Lord. I heard that a lot of people died in the first episode, and there are also..."

The more he spoke, the more excited Xiao Nan became, and his eyes widened.

Xiao Hui frowned, put down the remote control, and looked at him: "You little brat, do you have to watch that bloody thing? Besides, in a few months, pirated copies of Squid Game will probably be leaked online, so why not watch it then?"

"We'll see then? No, no!"

Xiaonan sat up straight suddenly, his tone full of unwillingness, "If I don't watch Squidward now, I can't keep up with the memes on Weibo! And my classmates are all talking about '456', '001', 'steel cloth' and so on, and I can't get a word in. How embarrassing!"

Seeing that her sister was still indifferent, Xiaonan moved closer to Xiaohui and started to act like a spoiled child.

He clasped his hands together and prayed eagerly:

"Sister, please help me! You have a lot of pocket money, so give me a Netflix membership. Just for one month, and we can watch it together!

And if you sign up for this membership, can't you also watch "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" for a month? You can only watch it for free for seven days now. After seven days, you can't watch it anymore. You still have to sign up for a membership."

Seeing him like this, Xiao Hui was also pestered to no end. She glared at him and said, "You are really calculating. You said so many words to coax me. I saved this money to buy new headphones!"

Xiaohui paused, and seeing Xiaonan's pitiful look, her heart softened and she sighed:

"Okay, okay, I'm your sister after all, but you have to give me some of your pocket money, otherwise I'll be at a big loss!"

Xiaonan jumped up immediately when she heard it, smiling as if she had won first place in the grade: "Sister, you are the best! I'll go get some potato chips, and we'll watch Squidward Games together later!"

After half an hour.

The curtains in the living room were drawn and the light gradually dimmed.

The red Netflix logo popped up on the TV screen.

Xiaohui and Xiaonan used their month's pocket money to buy a standard membership.

The brother and sister sat side by side on the sofa with a large bowl of potato chips and two cans of Coke in front of them.

Xiaonan was so excited that his hands were shaking.

I can finally watch Squidward! I can finally talk about the plot with my classmates!
……

"Huh? Even Bai Xingjian is starring in this drama himself?"

When Xiaohui saw Bai Xingjian appear on the TV screen, she was also surprised.

"Bai Xingjian is so handsome! Even though I'm a man I think he's handsome!" Xiaonan sighed.

"It seems that Bai Xingjian is really handsome." Xiaohui smiled.

……

When the game of "One, Two, Three, Statue" began, a strange child's voice was heard.

Xiaonan grabbed Xiaohui's arm and shouted, "Sister, this music is too scary!"

Then, the doll turned around and 456 game participants fell down.

Xiaonan stared with his eyes wide open and forgot to eat the potato chips.

Xiaohui appeared calm on the surface, but her hands unconsciously clenched the Coke can.

She muttered to herself, "What was Bai Xingjian thinking? He actually filmed such a cruel and bloody plot."

……

When watching the marbles episode, Xiaonan was completely immersed in the drama. He cried out with tears in his eyes:

"This old man is so miserable! Sister, why do you think they have to play this game?"

At this time, Xiao Hui was also dragged into the plot of "Squid Game". She bit her lip and her voice was a little hoarse:
"Of course it's for the money... This drama really messes with people's mentality."

She secretly glanced at her brother and saw that his eyes were red. She laughed in her heart: This boy is quite emotional.

……

The brother and sister watched "Squidward Gamble" episode after episode until it was dark.

Xiaohui looked at the time and saw that her parents would be home soon, so she said to Xiaonan, "Okay, let's watch it tomorrow. We've watched so many episodes today, is that enough for you to talk about with your classmates?"

Xiaonan grinned, nodded and said, "Well, that's enough... Sister, you are so nice, I will treat you to ice cream tomorrow."

……

Although "Squid Game" was not released in China, many viewers still watched the drama.

Discussions about the relevant plot were heated on Weibo.

The most popular one at the moment is #Bai Xingjian stars in "Squid Game"#.

Uninformed netizens were full of question marks.

Many of Bai Xingjian's fans expressed disbelief about this.

Fans of Bai Xingjian who have already watched "Squid Game" said they were just thrilled by it.
