I really don't want to be the top streamer anymore

Chapter 162: Stop arguing, I’m going to start using the knife!
"Boss Qin, you assured us that Xu Kong's new play was nothing to be afraid of."

"I need an explanation. This incident has caused huge losses to our Huayuan!"

Looking at the representatives of Mango and Huayuan Film and Television who were participating in the video conference on the video computer screen, Qin Xian couldn't help but want to curse at this moment.

Huge loss? Huge ass!
The rating of "Mystic Valley" has remained stable at around 8 points, so there is definitely no problem with its reputation.

The copyright of Huayuan had been sold to them a long time ago, and they made a lot of money from it.

What's the loss?

For Mango TV, the copyright fee is not that high, and the cost is definitely recovered through the early advertising revenue.

After all, the ratings have never fallen below 1.

So now that "Mysterious Valley" has been completely crushed by "The Chinese Paladin" in terms of popularity, who is the real loser?
It’s because of the huge amount of copyright fees spent, and the current income from paid memberships is far lower than the expected Kiwi!
But at this moment, Qin Xian still needs to keep smiling.

Whether it is Huayuan Film and Television or Mango TV, they are not afraid of the size of Kiwi.

And the most important thing is that it was indeed him who proposed to broadcast it on the same day as Xu Kong's "The Legend of Sword and Fairy".

"You two, I think we should not rush for now."

"So far, it seems that most of the plot of "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" is not acceptable to the audience."

"What I mean is, we just need to wait until the other side's reputation collapses, and then the popularity of Mystic Valley will definitely surpass it."

Although these words do carry great expectations.

Similar cases have occurred in the past.

But when Qin Xian said this, he still felt a little lacking in confidence.

Because the current number of views of "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" has exceeded 2.5 billion, and it has only been broadcast for less than half a month.

"Mystic Valley" gradually declined, barely breaking 1 billion. There is a huge gap between the two dramas in terms of popularity alone.

It's not something that can be solved by word of mouth.

Even if the sequel to "Legend of Sword and Fairy" starts off strong but ends badly, it will definitely be the first hit drama of the year.

But at this moment, apart from these words that only shed some light on the possibility of hope, there seems to be nothing else to say.

"I hope so."

The person in charge of Huayuan sighed and said lightly.

The people from Mango didn't make things too difficult for Qin Xian.

Although it was indeed Qin Xian who made the decision, it was because Kiwi Flower had the highest copyright fee.

And it seems that they are the ones who have suffered the greatest losses.

After many twists and turns, Yiguo finally finished the first video about "The Legend of Sword and Fairy".

Although the show has been aired for more than half a month, the plot is more than halfway through.

If we talk about trying to grab the popularity of the first broadcast, it’s actually a little too late.

However, the popularity of "Legend of Sword and Fairy" has been rising since its launch. Compared to when it was first aired, the popularity has not dropped at all, but has become even higher.

"The Fairy Sword Interpretation, what exactly is Xu Kong's so-called fairy-tale drama!"

After selecting a cover and a title for the video, Yiguo clicked send directly.

At present, for all film and television self-media on the entire network, "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" is indeed the best traffic code.

Although this drama has been controversial before, its popularity is indeed incredibly high.

Some one or two minute character mashups can even get millions of views.

But what many people are still looking forward to is the interpretation from Yiguo, a blogger with more than 50 million fans online.

"The popularity of this immortal sword is really too high."

Even Yiguo was a little shocked. Within less than half an hour after her latest video was released, it had been played over 700,000 times.

Even though the average number of views for each of her videos on Bilibili is usually around five or six million, and there are quite a few with over ten million, the speed of growth this time still really shocked her.

But Yiguo obviously didn't expect that this was just the beginning.

In the next short day, Yiguo's 20-minute-long film review video of The Legend of Sword and Fairy soared in popularity on major platforms.

Of course, this also has a lot to do with the quality of Yigo Yigo's copywriting.

After all, the total number of words is probably more than 8,000, and it took her half a month to finish it.

During this period, in addition to following the updated episodes of The Legend of Sword and Fairy, I also often go back to watch the previously updated parts.

"Is Xu Kong's Fairy Sword a good drama?"

“The results are beyond doubt.”

"The first thing I want to talk about is the soundtracks, which I personally think are the most outstanding. For example, some of the pure music in "Chinese Paladin", "Peach Blossom Island", "Forget Me Not" and so on are all at the master level."

"Besides that, it's the characterization. Later on, I suddenly realized that this drama is actually a group portrait drama. Even the supporting roles were portrayed quite brilliantly by Xu Kong, such as the Drunken Swordsman, Liu Jinyuan, and even the villain, the Moon Worshiper."

"As for the shortcomings, I'm sure everyone knows that it's about the handling of the protagonist's emotional line in the love triangle."

“Although Lin Yueru’s character transformation and growth are clear, this character is still often criticized because of preconceived notions.”

"Finally, back to the question in my title, is Xu Kong's drama what he calls a fairy tale?"

“I can’t give an answer to that question.”

"But what is certain is that compared to some of the previous ancient puppet shows, The Legend of Sword and Fairy is definitely different."

“The plot, texture, and filming method are all completely different from traditional ancient puppet shows.”

“Even the love line that was criticized is different.”

"You can recall that in those popular ancient puppet shows in the past, one of the male and female protagonists always had a setting of sealing their hearts and locking their love. It would take dozens of episodes just for the male and female protagonists to fall in love with each other."

"In The Legend of Sword and Fairy, even if it's a love triangle, the biggest feeling is that all the characters are people with their own emotions and desires from the moment they appear on screen. This is why many viewers feel so involved when watching this drama."

In Yiguo’s video, it is obvious that the evaluation of Xu Kong’s new drama is still very high.

It can even be said that it was just a direct exaggeration.

Of course, these are Igor's own real thoughts.

And it has also been recognized by many audiences.

But the only thing she didn't expect was that she would be backstabbed.

The one who stabbed her in the back was not someone else, but the "Legend of Sword and Fairy" itself which was being updated.

Because on the day her video was released, it was in the latest plot of The Legend of Sword and Fairy.

Li Xiaoyao and Lin Yueru are together.

And Yiguo also knew that in the previous plot setting, Li Xiaoyao had lost his memory of the Fairy Island because of the Forget-Sorrow Gu.

He himself didn't know that he had actually married Zhao Linger when he was on Xianlin Island.

The development of this plot was something Yigo had never expected before.

Her first thought was that it was over.

It is estimated that it will be difficult to stop this trend.

Sure enough, there was an uproar on the Internet at this time.

"I can't accept this plot trend. It's hard to understand Xu Kong's state of mind when writing the script."

"Even Zhao Linger was abandoned. I really can't bear to watch it anymore. I can only quit the show."

"It's understandable that Li Xiaoyao lost his memory, but what about Lin Yueru? I really hate this character from the moment she appeared until now!"

There is no doubt that those who come up and start cursing are definitely from Zhao Linger's party.

And there are a lot of them.

After all, Zhao Linger is the protagonist, and judging from her character and the shots she appears in, she is destined to attract countless fans.

Of course, there are also people who hold opposing views.

"Why can't it be Lin Yueru? When it comes to relationships, there's no such thing as first come first served. I think it's pretty good."

"After going through so much, the villain is no longer the villain she used to be. It's normal for them to like each other." "Lin Yueru's growth line is very clear. Although the impression in the early stage was very poor, she has been changing after all. If I were the protagonist, I would not be able to refuse such a confession."

Well, Zhao Linger’s party and Lin Yueru’s party have started arguing.

At the moment, it seems that the situation is getting worse.

However, the audience on Zhao Liner's side had an absolute advantage in numbers.

Even the actress Shang Yuxin suffered an unprovoked disaster. Some viewers were too involved in the story and began to blame the actor herself.

Yiguo was implicated.

Because her video praising the drama "Legend of Sword and Fairy" is currently ranked first on Bilibili's hot search list and can also be seen on Weibo's hot searches.

"I really am."

Yiguo always felt that he had a lot of grievances but couldn't express them.

If I had known this, I would have waited until the show was finished before posting the video.

How could she know that the plot of the ten-year agreement between the protagonists, which was quite romantic and warm at the beginning, would develop so fast in the blink of an eye.

Zhao Linger was brought back to Shushan, and Lin Yueru got together directly with the protagonist Li Xiaoyao.

The script written by Xu Kong is really inhumane.

Although it is clear that such emergencies are necessary to advance the plot.

But now, she is even less clear about how the final plot will develop.

I don't know how to open champagne at halftime, so in the end, Xu Kong's drama started off well but ended badly, so it ended badly, right?
The one who suffered the most was not Shang Yuxin, the actor who played Lin Yueru, nor was it Yi Guo who suffered an unexpected disaster.

But it was Qin Xian, the vice president of Kiwi at this time.

Because of the heated debate online, the data of The Legend of Sword and Fairy once again saw a surge.

There are many viewers who criticized Xu Kong, the director and editor, or scolded the actors.

But the drama itself seems to have been unaffected at all.

The heat is getting higher and higher.

Whether it is the data of the drama itself or the degree of discussion, it has completely exploded.

Almost everywhere on all major platforms, you can see information about "The Legend of Sword and Fairy".

Even Tudou Video, which had originally scheduled to air a new drama at the end of the month, had it urgently withdrawn.

Some dramas produced by small companies also chose to take emergency risk avoidance measures.

Now the only one that suffered the most serious damage was "Mysterious Valley" on their Kiwi platform.

Even the daily playback volume, which was originally quite stable, suddenly decreased a lot that day.

What is more intuitive is that the number of daily active users on the Kiwi platform has decreased by nearly 20% compared to the beginning of the month.

That’s tens of millions of active users!
Qin Xian's heart was bleeding.

He really regretted it.

At the beginning, I didn’t take Xu Kong’s first drama seriously, and gave the pie in the sky to Penguin Video.

And later, because he did not take Xu Kong seriously, the copyright of "Legend of Sword and Fairy" was lost.

Although Qin Xian also had regrets at these times.

But given his personality, since it was a thing of the past, he didn't take it too seriously.

At this moment, he really felt that he should not have chosen to broadcast "Mysterious Valley" on the same day as Xu Kong's "Legend of Sword and Fairy".

At Fengge's headquarters in Beijing, Shang Yuxin has not been filming during this period and has almost always stayed in the company.

Of course, when they are not filming, even the actors under Fengge will choose to rest at home.

Shang Yuxin was the same in the past.

As for now, the reason why she comes to the company every day is naturally because Xu Kong also stays in his own personal studio most of the time.

"Why are you here again?"

Xu Kong was not surprised when he saw Shang Yuxin. Instead, he was already used to it.

I have to say, he always found it quite interesting.

He ran to Zhu Yu's office every day, while Shang Lucha took the initiative to go to his own studio every day.

"Director Xu, what are you saying? You don't welcome me?"

Shang Yuxin walked naturally to the sofa in Xu Kong's office and sat down.

"Besides, I'm very obedient. Every time I come, it's when Youyou isn't around."

Hearing this, Xu Kong couldn't help but feel a headache.

He always felt that due to a series of coincidences, the misunderstanding between him and Shang Yuxin became deeper and deeper.

Originally, he was just annoyed and thought it would be best to persuade the other party to back off.

Otherwise, although it is nothing for Shang Yuxin at her level, it is still quite troublesome to deal with it every day.

It really worked at first.

But now, Shang Yuxin seemed to be fearless after what had happened before. Even looking at her expression, she seemed to have a hint of anticipation?

Just like now, when Shang Yuxin entered, she naturally locked the door of Xu Kong's office.

She was not behaving herself on the sofa, posing and making coquettish gestures.

This is completely different from every time I came to Xu Kong, when I had to be cautious and open the office door wide.

"Director Xu, won't you comfort me?"

"You know how badly I've been scolded by online viewers recently."

"Strictly speaking, this is a work-related injury. You, as the director, are responsible for it."

Xu Kong rolled his eyes at Shang Yuxin who was pretending to be pitiful, indicating that she should experience it herself.

It’s not like the other party hasn’t read the entire script. Xu Kong doesn’t believe that Shang Yuxin herself would not have expected the current situation.

And he also knows that at the current broadcast speed.

Before long, the insults involving Shang Yuxin will naturally disappear.

"Director Xu, you are really boring."

Shang Yuxin was a little disappointed to see that her method didn't work.

But he still talked about the purpose of his visit.

"Director Xu, after the broadcast of "Legend of Sword and Fairy" is over, will there really be a good script for me?"

After knowing that Xu Kong's new drama might not have a suitable role for her, Shang Yuxin became more open-minded.

She has been resting for such a long time and hasn't taken on any new dramas until now. In fact, she is just waiting for the popularity that "Legend of Sword and Fairy" will bring after it is broadcast.

"It won't take that long. I estimate it will be available in about a week."

Xu Kong said lightly.

He is quite confident in this regard.

And it turned out that Xu Kong's guess was correct.

Soon, it was the beginning of July and the plot of "Legend of Sword and Fairy" had reached the final few episodes.

The whole drama has been broadcast for nearly a month, and finally it has reached the plot that Xu Kong has been looking forward to for a long time.

Perhaps it was a bad taste, Xu Kong felt that he had to pay back the hurt he had suffered in the past.

Although Xu Kong didn't want to pay too much attention to the quarrel between the two characters Zhao Linger and Lin Yueru on the Internet, he could see it every time he surfed the Internet, which inevitably made him feel annoyed.

Now, Xu Kong said, stop arguing, I'm going to start using the knife.
