This man knows how to hype

Chapter 369: Extremely Efficient Work
Inside the apartment.

I saw Jiang Yue and the girl with glasses leave one after another.

Xu Xiyu turned to Gu Lixia and said, "Pack your luggage. You can live at Sister Xinbao's house for a few days. I will find you a new house after a while."

"Ah? Oh? Okay." Gulixiati was a little at a loss. She didn't expect things to turn out like this. She could only follow Xu Xiyu's arrangements and go into the bedroom to pack her things.

As for Zhang Wenyan, Ma Rongrong and others, they felt extremely panicked when they saw this scene.

Especially Ma Rongrong, she now desperately wants to find some compensation, and at the same time she also wants to find a victim's identity to avoid responsibility.

So, she forced a few tears and said to Xu Xiyu in a voice of complaint, "Boss Xu, you may not understand why I want to divorce Lao Zhang. Ever since he..."

"Stop, I really don't know, but I don't want to know. I'm not interested." Xu Xiyu waved his hand.

"Ga..." When these words came out, Ma Rongrong felt like a duck with its neck pinched.

No, Mr. Xu, how could you not listen?

"Do you think this is a TV show? Even if it's a murderer, there has to be sad background music, and you have to listen to her talk about her mental journey of committing a crime, right? Sorry, I don't like to listen."

Xu Xiyu told a cold joke with an indifferent expression, and then turned to Zhang Wenyan and said, "Take your wife and these people back."

"Go~~go back?" Zhang Wenyan looked at Xu Xiyu in disbelief. He just let him go back like this?

"Don't want to leave?"

"No...no, no." Zhang Wenyan was confused.

However, he still retained some rationality and said to Xu Xiyu: "Well, I'll go apologize to Xia Ti."

As she said this, Gulixiati just dragged a suitcase out of the room. When she heard Zhang Wenyan was about to apologize, she didn't know how to react. She could only blink her peach blossom eyes and look at Xu Xiyu.

Ma Rongrong also quickly agreed at this time: "Yes, yes, Mr. Xu, should we apologize to her?"

"No need, go back." Xu Xiyu waved his hand and urged again with a tone of impatience, "Let's go, let's go, hurry up."

"Okay! Mr. Xu, we'll leave first. You're busy." Ma Rongrong had wanted to leave for a long time. Now that she saw Xu Xiyu letting him go, she ran away as if she had greased her feet, not caring about Zhang Wenyan, and dragged her brother away.

Seeing this, Zhang Wenyan actually wanted to say something, but looking at Xu Xiyu's indifferent face, he didn't dare to say more.

Just like that, he followed him out.

Seeing the door closed, Xu Xiyu turned to Gu Lixia and said, "I didn't ask them to apologize to you. Do you blame me?"

"No, you must have your reasons for doing this." Gulishati immediately shook her head.

"They want to apologize to you, not because they think they are wrong, but because they are afraid. Also, for such people, if you still don't let them go after they have apologized.

They will blame you for being narrow-minded. So, there is no need to ask them to apologize, it is meaningless, understand?" Xu Xiyu said in a soft tone.

"I understand!" Gulixiati pursed her lips and nodded, like a primary school student.

"Hurry up and pack up. When you're done, come with me."

"Okay, it will be quick. I'll be quick." Gulixiati said as she continued to work. Seeing this, Shan Xinbao, who had arranged things, also started to help.

On the other side, Zhang Wenyan and Ma Rongrong, who had just gone out, got together.

"No, he just let us go like that?" Ma Rongrong didn't care about being angry with Zhang Wenyan.

"Sister, has it been resolved? Is everything okay?" her brother also asked tentatively.

When Zhang Wenyan heard this, he cursed: "It's okay? It's a big deal! I'm going to be killed by you."

"Mr. Zhang, you are cheating on me and you think you are right?"

"Who cheated? Who cheated? I have nothing to do with her!" Zhang Wenyan was a little hysterical. He felt that Xu Xiyu's way of dealing with it was too horrible, and it would be better to just stab himself.

So, he asked Ma Rongrong with a fierce look in his eyes, "Did my agent really tell you to come here? Is there anyone else involved?"

"No, she was the one who notified me to come over!" Ma Rongrong was actually telling the truth. With her identity, she could only reach this level.

Hearing this, Zhang Wenyan wanted to ask something more, but the dusty figure of Yang Xueqing appeared in his sight.

When Yang Xueqing saw them, she didn't stop. She just glared at them fiercely and walked straight towards the room.

This sight made Zhang Wenyan feel a chill down his spine.

Unfortunately, no one cares.

After a while, Yang Xueqing entered the apartment.

After taking a look around the room, he walked directly to Xu Xiyu and whispered, "What should we do? Should we reshoot or change the face?"

She had just learned about what happened through contact with Shan Xinbao on the way. Based on her understanding of Xu Xiyu, she felt that Xu Xiyu would never choose to cover up for Zhang Wenyan.

In this case, if we want to ensure that "The Beginning" continues to be broadcast on a legitimate platform, there are only two ways: one is to change Zhang Wenyan's role, and the other is to reshoot his scenes.

In terms of effect, face-changing is definitely not as good as reshooting.

But the cost of reshooting is high, as Zhang Cheng, played by Zhang Wenyan, has too many scenes.

Reshooting this role's scenes seemed to be no different from reshooting "The Beginning". It required rebuilding the crew, applying for a new location, and the most troublesome thing was to bring back the actors and staff.

Not everyone is like Gulishati, who has no work arrangements and can go back at any time.

It is quite difficult to coordinate the schedules of so many actors and staff.

After coordinating all the events, reshooting and post-production, it is unknown when "The Beginning" will be broadcast, and the cost is simply unbearable.

Therefore, after hearing Yang Xueqing's question, Xu Xiyu shook his head and said, "No face change, no reshoot."

"So, you're going to take a gamble?" Yang Xueqing felt that Xu Xiyu had compromised and was going to help Zhang Wenyan cover up. At the same time, she was going to gamble that no one else would expose Zhang Wenyan's affairs.
"I don't like gambling." Xu Xiyu laughed when he heard that.

"..." Yang Xueqing was chilled by the words, and she felt that she had to have a deeper talk with Xu Xiyu. So, she looked around, dragged Xu Xiyu to the bathroom, closed the door, and whispered: "No, what are you going to do?
Don't be angry, "The Beginning" is a good movie, I have watched the whole movie. Reshooting is a bit costly, but as long as it is broadcast, I think the revenue will still cover it. "

Hearing this, Xu Xiyu rubbed his temple and asked, "Let me ask you, what are the benefits of "Beginning"?"

"Uh..." Yang Xueqing was so confused that she couldn't answer this question for a while.

Seeing this, Xu Xiyu said directly: "There are roughly four parts. First, the broadcast revenue brought by the drama itself, this part can basically be given up.

Second, as for the gains on Huaqing’s stock price, I don’t need to pay too much attention to this at the moment, because I have no plans to cash out, nor do I have any financing needs by pledging shares.

It is impossible for the stock price to drop to the point where Huaqing becomes insolvent because of this drama, so the impact is not big. If the next drama becomes popular, the stock price will rise again quickly.

Third, after the show was broadcast, several key actors gained benefits from the popularity. These key actors include the male lead Li Qiyang, the female lead Gulixiati, and our Huaqing’s number one Zhang Wenyan.

Fourth, it is the "brand" benefit brought by the public's recognition of my "creative ability."

"Then what?" Yang Xueqing asked puzzledly.

"Based on these revenue analyses, if we want to ensure the revenue of The Beginning, we must increase the revenue brought by Li Qiyang and Gulixiati, as well as my own 'brand revenue'.

The revenue from these two sources will cover the loss of the broadcast revenue of The Beginning." Xu Xiyu explained calmly.

"But the problem is that all these profits are based on the premise that 'The Beginning' can be broadcast. Now you don't plan to suppress Zhang Wenyan's matter, and you don't plan to reshoot it, so how can you broadcast it? Where will the profits come from if it can't be broadcast?"

“Have you ever watched pirated TV series?”

"what?"

"Leak the full film resources of "The Beginning" and let pirated websites broadcast it." Xu Xiyu said seriously.

"Are you serious?" Yang Xueqing was completely confused by this statement.

"You see, if even you can't think of it, then those people hiding in the gutter and planning to plot against me certainly can't think of it either." Xu Xiyu laughed again.

"No, are you serious?" Yang Xueqing's eyes were as big as light bulbs.

"Of course I'm serious. First of all, pirated websites are not legal, and viewers don't need to pay for membership to watch them. Therefore, no one can use Zhang Wenyan's scandal to attack "Beginning" and our Hua Qing.

Secondly, people are naturally attracted to "banned films". The more they cannot be broadcast on regular platforms, the more they want to join in the fun and find resources to watch them.

Coupled with our own publicity and the discussion brought about by the "Zhang Wenyan incident", the popularity of the pirated version of "The Beginning" may be even stronger than that of the legitimate platform.

You just said that the quality of this drama is there, and it will generate revenue if it can be broadcast. That’s right, it will generate revenue if it can be broadcast.”

"No, you..." Yang Xueqing was speechless. She couldn't accept this idea for a while. "What about Aiqiyi? They paid for it."

"Explain the situation to them, then refund the money in a big way and apologize to them."

"Apologize and return the money?! That won't work. They gave us money to invest in the drama, not to purchase the broadcasting rights. How can we return the money if we lose money on the investment?" Yang Xueqing was anxious.

Originally, "The Beginning" was about to fail, and they had to return the money to Aiqiyi. Although the amount was not much, only 10 million, but isn't this too much of a loss?

So, she continued, "If anyone wants to pay this money, it should be Zhang Wenyan!"

"We want him to pay compensation, but we are the ones who should hold him accountable, not Aiqiyi. We should take the initiative to take charge of this matter.

We want to let colleagues in the industry and the general audience see Hua Qing’s responsibility and see how strong my character as Xu is in business.

What do you invest in when you invest in the market? Is it the quality of the product? No, when you invest, you invest in confidence. The "confidence" created by our behavior cannot be bought with 1000 million.

Not only that, but we also need to help Gulixia defend her rights in a big way. The act of defending rights, on the one hand, is to emphasize the reputation of our Huaqing.

More importantly, she could also put all the heat brought by the Zhang Wenyan incident on her alone. Now no one knows her at all.

With the TV King award as a stepping stone and the completion of "Beginning", I believe her popularity and commercial value will rise faster than a rocket. Normal broadcasting is far from achieving this effect.

The contract she signed with us was a new employee contract, and 8% of the profits belonged to us. Under other circumstances, if we took too much, she might have some complaints. According to current industry practices, we should immediately change it to a profit-sharing contract.

But if we get to the position by stepping on Zhang Wenyan, she won't complain no matter how much we get, because if she is a normal person, she will only be grateful now. "

At this point, Xu Xiyu paused and continued: "Also, the people in our company are starting to waver again. By taking ruthless action against Zhang Wenyan and Jiang Yue, on the one hand, we can deter those who have evil intentions;

On the other hand, it will also allow the people in the company to recognize my ability to create stars, so that they can consider whether it is worthwhile to betray me. "

"That's true, but the question is, will anyone think that Gulixiati is your lover, so you help her like this?" Yang Xueqing asked half-reminding and half-tentatively.

When Xu Xiyu heard this, he patted her forehead and said, "If she was my lover, how dare Zhang Wenyan come to harass her?
How stupid is she to be forced into this state by Zhang Wenyan even though she and I are lovers? "

"That's right." Yang Xueqing laughed, thinking that there was one less competitor. Then she asked curiously, "Zhang Wenyan, how are you going to deal with this? Are you going to terminate the contract?"

"Terminate the contract?" Xu Xiyu was amused by this.

He laughed and said, "If he can't show up on public platforms in China, he won't make any money? If he wants to terminate the contract, he can either pay the penalty or fulfill the four-year contract and work for me for the full four years."

"Hey, you know what, actually many rich women like this type of him." Yang Xueqing didn't know what she was thinking about, and a lewd smile appeared on her face.

"We don't do anything illegal." Xu Xiyu shook his head.

As soon as he finished speaking, the door was knocked again, and then Shan Xinbao's voice came: "Boss, what you just ordered is already being executed."

As her voice fell.

On Xiaohongshu and Weibo, a post accusing the "boss below" began to gain popularity.

In other words, the plan and ideas that Xu Xiyu had just told Yang Xueqing had already begun to be implemented.

On the other hand, the man with glasses and the two traitors who were plotting against Xu Xiyu were still happily chatting and arguing.

I wonder what Xu Xiyu's current state is. Is he jumping up and down in anger, or is his face turning red with anger?
