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

Tuesday, May 4th.

Nearly seven days have passed since "Squidward Floyd" was released on Netflix.

Netflix announced the achievements of the drama "Squidward Furious" on major social platforms.

In less than seven days since the release of "Squid!", global viewers have watched a total of 7.8 million hours. Nearly 8100 million households around the world have clicked on the show, with each household watching for more than 9.6 hours on average.

With such data, it is natural that "Squidward Fever" topped the list of "Global Top 10" on Netflix platform this week.

At the same time, it has also aroused heated discussions among many netizens around the world.

on Twitter.

Many foreign netizens were shocked by the performance of "Squid Game".

【Wang Defa???】

[This data may have refreshed the best performance of a TV series in the past seven days in the history of Netflix platform, right? ]

[“Squid Game” is really awesome! ]

[Is this drama really that good? I watched it and it was just average. I can only say that the director team of this drama is quite good at marketing.]

[If you think it's just average, then so be it. After all, there are nearly 80 billion people on the entire Blue Planet, and everyone has something they like. So, if you don't like "Squid Game", don't complain about it here.]

[That's right, "Squid Game" is so popular, and so many people are watching it. If you say you think "Squid Game" is not good, it seems like you are a niche. Yes, there are so many people like you in the whole Blue Planet, how can you be a niche? ! ]

[I can only say that Bai Xingjian is truly amazing. With just one movie, "Squid Game", many netizens around the world know him. He is simply invincible.]

There is a lot of discussion about Bai Xingjian on Twitter.

As for Bai Xingjian himself, he is also very happy now.

"The success of the show Squidward: The Game of Squid has given us a lot of peace of mind for the things we do next!"

In a luxurious large flat somewhere in Gangnam District, Seoul, Bai Xingjian spoke in a very relaxed tone.

Judging from the current performance of "Squid Game" on Netflix, the revenue it brings is naturally very considerable.

Moreover, before reaching a cooperation with Netflix, Bai Xingjian bought a lot of Netflix shares in the stock market in advance.

After the success of "Squidward Fever", the upward trend of Netflix's stock is obvious.

For example, when "Squidward Fever" was first released, Netflix's stock price remained stable, closing at around US$550.

But within a week of "Squidward Powers" being released, the show was like a fire that directly put Netflix's stock price on the fast track.

Today, April 4, Netflix's stock price rose to US$7, an increase of about 562%.

Although 2.18% is a very small number, in the stock market, within just seven days, 2.18% is already a very high increase.

Of course, it cannot be compared with some crazy bull stocks.

After all, there are special teams behind the scenes operating those things, just waiting for the leeks to come and harvest them.

Bai Xingjian picked up the calculator and did some calculations, then smacked his lips, feeling a little bit disappointed.

"I invested $3000 million, but I only made less than $65 in one month."

Bai Xingjian smiled and shook his head, "I can only say that investing in real estate brings in faster returns."

Mei Jie, who was sitting next to him, was amused by this remark. "Brother Xingjian, real estate is all about making money without doing anything. The money you make is naturally not as much as buying stocks. Besides, this can't be considered stock speculation, so the profit is naturally not much."

Before reaching a cooperation with Netflix, Bai Xingjian bought 3000 million US dollars of Netflix stocks, which is equivalent to more than million RMB.

Even if you deposit more than 200 million yuan in the bank, the interest for one month will be nearly 500,000 yuan.

Bai Xingjian only made 65 yuan by buying stocks.

Although I earn money in US dollars, the speed is not really fast.

After all, the sales of "Squid Game" peripherals in China in the past few days can be said to be dozens of times the money Bai Xingjian earned from stocks.

However, Bai Xingjian had no plan to make money with the 3000 million US dollars.

Purchasing Netflix stock is originally a long-term investment. Bai Xingjian directly regarded the stocks purchased with 3000 million US dollars as future pension.

He would not touch these funds unless there was any emergency.

"And 65 US dollars is not a small amount. Converted into RMB, it is almost million."

Mei Jie's eyes sparkled. "I have not even made five million in my entire life."

"Hahaha, you will earn money." Feng Shiqi touched Mei Jie's head and encouraged her.

Mei Jie nodded heavily, and said in a sobbing tone: "As long as I follow Brother Xingjian and Sister Shiqi, I will probably never have to worry about food and drink for the rest of my life."

When Mei Jie first started working as Bai Xingjian and Feng Shiqi's personal assistant, she didn't feel anything.

After all, Bai Xingjian and Feng Shiqi had just become famous at that time. In the vast ocean of the entertainment industry, they were at most just small drops of water that had just dripped in.

I never thought that it would take less than three years.

Bai Xingjian and Feng Shiqi directly completed a gorgeous transformation of their identities.

Directly advance from an artist to capital!
And now we have achieved such good results.

Mei Jie now feels like she is dreaming every day.

This is simply too unreal!
"Don't you have to worry about food and drink?"

Bai Xingjian grinned and said to Mei Jie: "These are just small matters. Our good days are still to come!"

"Squid Game" is just the beginning of everything.

……

America.

The night in Los Angeles is as dark as ink.

In an old apartment on the edge of the city, a group of people were sitting around a coffee table piled with snacks and drinks, having a long conversation.

This group of people included both men and women, young and old, and looked quite discordant.

But it is this seemingly disharmonious group of people who make up the main creative team of the current hit American TV series "Dark Side".

The air was filled with the smell of coffee and tobacco. A man, Richards, with a cigarette in his mouth, was squinting at the screen of his mobile phone.

The content displayed on the screen was exactly the data related to "Squidward Fever" recently released by Netflix.

Richards smacked his lips, raised his hand to take the cigarette out of his mouth, looked at the ceiling with puzzled eyes, and said while puffing out smoke:
"What is the magic of the drama "Squid Game" that makes it so popular with audiences all over the world? Why do I feel that there are so many brainless and stupid plots in this drama?"

Richards is the writer of the show "Dark Shadows".

The main themes of "Shadows of the Underworld" are suspense and brain-burning, so in Richards' eyes, the logic of the drama "Squidward Floyd" really makes him feel unsatisfactory.

Christie, who was standing by, was a hardcore female screenwriter who specialized in science fiction. She pushed her glasses and said with a smile:

"It is precisely because of the weak logic of the show "Squid Game" that it is welcomed by audiences all over the world. After all, the primary purpose of many viewers watching TV shows is to relax. "Squid Game" has achieved the word "relaxing" not only in terms of logic but also in the content of the story."

"In addition to being relaxing, the show 'Squidward' also has a lot of details, which can be said to be inclusive." Christie added.

"Well, it seems that Bai Xingjian from China has really stolen the limelight this time." Tomlin, the director of "Infernal Affairs", sighed.

Tomlin is a Chinese American whose lifelong dream is to become a world-famous director.

Now, Bai Xingjian, who is much younger than him, has taken the lead.

Tomlin was naturally in a bad mood.

"This year's Emmy Awards are likely to be swept by Squidward Floyd, it's such a great result."

Tomlin picked up the coffee on the coffee table and took a sip. "Besides, Squidward has only been online for seven days, and it has already achieved such good results. I wonder what the scene will be like in a month."

Although he was extremely envious of Bai Xingjian, Tomlin still had some of the same blood as Bai Xingjian flowing in his veins, so in addition to envy, Tomlin still felt quite proud.

After all, after so many years, China has finally produced a figure who has made achievements in the international film and television market.

"In a month?"

Christie blinked and said, "Maybe the popularity of the show "Squidward" will become the most popular show since Netflix was founded?"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present couldn't help but gasp.

Judging from the current situation, "Squid Game" has indeed shown a trend in this regard.

"But the only contradictory point is that Bai Xingjian is obviously a Chinese, but he has pushed the Corian culture and Korean wave to the top of the world. This is really a bit of fate."

Someone in the field said with a smile.

"Art has no borders, we can only say that life is unpredictable." Tomlin sighed.

Although he also expressed some regrets about this, but from another perspective -

Bai Xingjian is obviously a Chinese, but he has promoted the culture of Corea to the whole world and accomplished something that even the citizens of Corea have not done. Isn't that Bai Xingjian awesome?

Tomlin expressed his thoughts.

It immediately received a lot of recognition from everyone in the audience.

"Bai Xingjian is indeed a talent. Although Correa is a small place, it is really strong in this area of ​​drama. But what's the point of being strong for so many years? Suddenly, a Chinese guy overtook it in a different way? This is like a slap in the face!"

"When the news about Squid Game first broke out, the netizens in Corea were still cursing at Bai Xingjian. But now their attitude has completely reversed. They are really good at changing their attitude!"

"Don't even mention the netizens in Coria. Even the netizens in China scolded Bai Xingjian before. But now they have changed their tune. As soon as Squid Game performed well, they all started praising it. It's really funny to see them being so arrogant at first and then respectful later!"

"Well, there's nothing we can do about it. The main reason is that Bai Xingjian's stance on filming "Squid Game" is too weird. Whether it's Chinese netizens or Corea netizens, it's very difficult for them to comment on Bai Xingjian's behavior, right?"

"I can only say that people like Bai Xingjian are true geniuses! They are unruly and shoot whatever they want, regardless of what others say!"

"It is said that his film All or Nothing also earned nearly $600 million at the box office in China."

"Is he practicing both movies and TV series?"

"Yes, yes. Bai Xingjian made movies in China and TV series in Coria. It can be said that he has a precise grasp of the market."

"I can only say that it's a good thing that Bai Xingjian's accomplishments in movies are not as high as his accomplishments in TV series, otherwise our movie box office global rankings might be dominated by him."

"That's true. Fortunately, Bai Xingjian's filmmaking skills are not that good, and he doesn't know much about the international film market. Otherwise, Bai Xingjian would have become a rising star in the global box office."

The drama "Squid Game" performed so well that this group of people were quite supportive of Bai Xingjian's abilities.

While the "Shadows of the Underworld" team was discussing Bai Xingjian, domestic netizens were also going crazy about the data released by Netflix.

According to the data officially released by Netflix, "Squid Game" once again topped the Weibo hot search list and reached the top.

Countless netizens discussed this entry.

[Fuck! No, is Squid Game really that awesome? ]

[Sure enough, as long as you choose the right platform, even a bunch of shitty data can take off. ]

[That’s right, buddy! “Squidward” topped Netflix’s list of the world’s most popular series this time, and the biggest contributor is Netflix! ]

[Netflix is ​​the MVP! Bai Xingjian is the lying dog! ]

[I am really drunk. I don’t know how a TV series that cannot be seen in China can be on the hot search every day. Is this marketing really endless? ]

[I hate the things in Correa the most. I really don't have any good feelings towards them. Now I feel that Bai Xingjian is disgusting! ]

【That's it! 】

Because "Squid Game" cannot be launched in China, and because entries related to "Squid Game" often appear on hot searches, some netizens now feel annoyed when they see news related to "Squid Game".

As "Squid Game" became more and more popular on the trending searches, some netizens who were already disgusted with the culture of Corea began to speak out.

However, because "Squid Game" cannot be launched in China, these remarks have no effect on the show at all. Instead, they have stimulated fans of Bai Xingjian and domestic actors related to "Squid Game".

Fans of girls like Yao Chenxi and Shu Yaqian have also begun to demonstrate strong economic strength and purchasing power.

At midnight on April 4st when Squid Game was launched, peripheral products related to Squid Game were also launched and sold online simultaneously.

Originally, these goods did not sell very well, but as the timeline extended.

Within just seven days, all the supplies that Bai Xingjian had prepared in the country had been completely cleared out.

All factories are rushing to produce products at this time, and the related secondary markets are basically priced at a 30% premium.

There are some special peripherals whose prices are even sky-high.

For a while, Squid Game was unrivaled in popularity. (End of this chapter)
