Poverty alleviation variety show goes to the countryside, my talent can no longer be hidden

Chapter 389 The dragon slayer finally becomes an evil dragon

When a competitor launched advanced on-demand streaming, Penguin took advantage of the situation and dissed the competitor, but in the end, it ended up playing a "really good" game...

This move directly and vividly reveals the profit-seeking face of capital.

As long as you can make money, moral bottom line, boomerangs... can all be ignored!

It is not difficult to imagine what kind of reaction such a move would cause - except for a very small number of people who cheered because they could watch the following content in advance, most others were cursing.

[Penguin, do you have any shame? There are different levels of VIP? 】

[I thought you were a clean person in the industry, but it turns out you are just one of us! ]

[I was still naive and shouldn’t have had illusions about capital]

[No matter how popular it is, you can't do this. Isn't this destroying your own Great Wall? ]

[I used to like this drama, but now I am really disgusted by it]

[Luckily I got into it late, I just finished watching the first four episodes today... I won't continue watching the rest, I don't want to be taken advantage of and have to watch pirated copies! ]

[Sisters, please stay and share your resources! ]

[Request for resources +1...]

This is not just a joke, but everyone is really disgusted.

This so-called VIP grading system is even more terrifying than simple advance on-demand viewing. It is simply killing the goose that lays the golden eggs!
After all, advanced on-demand viewing is just a fixed-point and fixed-quantity consumption, with a clearly marked price of six yuan per episode. If you feel that the money is not worth spending, you can stop at any time, and the sunk cost is generally controllable.

However, this VIP grading system is extremely bad. If you want to watch movies on demand in advance, you must first subscribe to VIP for three years, which means you’ll spend hundreds of dollars at once. The sunk cost is much more terrible than simply watching movies on demand in advance!
What’s even more frightening is that this VIP grading directly produced a very terrible consequence - it made users feel fearful.

You can divide VIP into three levels today, but what about tomorrow?
Level seven? Level ten?
By then, will junior VIPs be worse than dogs, without even the most basic ad-free privilege?

You can use the popularity of "Nirvana in Fire" to do this kind of killing the chicken to get the eggs today, but what about next time?

If there is another big hit drama next time, what kind of sickle will you show?
Once trust collapses, the direct consequence is user rebellion or even defection.

If you don’t eat, you will starve to death. If you don’t drink water, you will die of thirst. Will you die if you don’t order in advance?
It won't lose even a pound of meat, so why should I spend this money?

Wouldn't it be nice if I spent a few hundred dollars to buy myself a set of beautiful clothes?

Some people even directly uninstalled their own clients, expressing their anger with the simplest actions.

Anyway, I only read the content updated on that day, so it doesn’t matter where I read it.
It’s not just Penguin Video that’s broadcasting it, Su Provincial Satellite TV is also broadcasting it!
Yes, satellite channels cannot pause, rewind, or repeat programs at will, and there is no interactive barrage...

But at least it won't come to me with a sickle and ask for money, right?

Goodbye!
So that night, Penguin Video discovered some not-so-good signs - the number of daily active users, the number of episodes on demand, the number of barrage interactions... a series of data that they once were proud of, began to drop sharply!

Not only that, the number of new VIPs that had made everyone ecstatic just dropped to zero!
There was even a period of negative growth - some people were deregistering their accounts!

However, at this point, the Penguins still had no intention of stopping.

Because even if the data has dropped, it is still at the level of a super popular product. A lean camel is bigger than a horse.

All I can say is that the previous data was too exaggerated, giving them the capital to be willful!

On the other hand, Jiangsu Satellite TV almost did nothing to achieve a wave of performance. Without doing anything, millions of new viewers joined the viewing army...

Seeing the sharp increase in the ratings, everyone in the broadcast center of Jiangsu Provincial Satellite TV was so happy that their mouths were almost crooked with joy.

It’s so cool that even pie falling from the sky can’t be this good. I must thank the penguin later!
Zhou Hao, one of the parties involved, was completely speechless.

The Penguin's outrageous move not only successfully disgusted the audience, but also gave him a slap in the face.

He had just publicly expressed his opposition to advanced on-demand viewing a few days ago, but less than two days later, Penguin did this without any notice... It was clear that they didn't take him seriously!

What made him feel even more sick was that... Penguin's film and television theaters were in a period of transition and were almost discontinued, with both performance and reputation facing a crisis of collapse. At that time, they called him almost once a day, begging him to quickly bring out "Nirvana in Fire" to save the situation.

Now "Nirvana in Fire" has not only successfully completed the rescue mission, but also helped Penguin Video to raise a wave of performance indicators. It is reasonable and just to give him some face.

As a result, this fact now proves that he is not even a dog in the eyes of those people.

Okay, very good.

Using one film, we can completely see the true faces of these people, which may not be a bad thing in the long run.

When talking to Peter Lam on the phone, Old Lam also said with lingering fear: "From now on, your suggestion is indeed very forward-looking. Only by creating your own theater brand and setting your own rules can you avoid being used as a scythe by the platform to do whatever it wants..."

Zhou Hao said nothing, but sighed silently in his heart.

The dragon slayer eventually becomes a dragon. I hope Shanhai will not become like this in the future...

Things have come to this point, and it is obviously impossible to be a turtle.

After thinking for a while, Zhou Hao posted several Weibo updates in a row.

The first one: "He tui!"

The words are concise and the meaning is clear.

Although it didn't mention anyone by name, everyone knew who it was spitting at.

Article 2: "Temporarily take a break and will not participate in any film or television production within one year."

This piece of news directly shocked the entire Chinese entertainment industry!
You know, this is the hottest screenwriter at the moment, a real hit-making machine!

It is no exaggeration to say that as long as he is willing, it is not impossible for him to earn 100 million yuan a year!
And now they want to go on strike because of a disagreement?

The penguin, who had been pretending to be dead, was finally frightened by the webworm and quickly called to communicate.

Zhou Hao's reply was simple and clear: "Get lost."

My partner is Shanhai Film and Television. It has nothing to do with you Penguin. Why do you call me and order me around?
The penguin was stunned.

Then came the third update, which was earth-shattering: "I, Zhou Hao, am making a public appeal with my real name: All viewers are requested to voluntarily boycott any unscrupulous behaviors such as advanced on-demand or VIP grading. Don't be taken advantage of, don't be taken advantage of, don't be taken advantage of. I say this three times because it's important!"

"It's a good thing to respect copyright and pay for creation, but I don't want my work to become a bloody sickle. After all, it's just an entertainment product. Please think twice before impulse buying!"
