This man knows how to hype

Chapter 375: Where are the determined people?
The weather in July is very dry.

But what is even drier than the weather is Liu Dazhou's heart at the moment.

Looking at the waves of public opinion on the Internet and Xu Xiyu's serious words in OA, he just felt that this time something really bad had happened.

Ever since Zhang Wenyan got into trouble, subsequent developments were completely beyond the expectations of these people.

How the hell is this?

Who knows what Xu Xiyu will do next?
Thinking of this, he frowned and urged: "Old Pan, I think you should not stay here anymore. President Xu asked all departments to conduct self-inspections. You should go back and prepare."

"Self-examination? Self-examination of what? No, do you really think that 'The Beginning' was leaked? Isn't it obvious that he released it himself?"

"Then go and make a fuss. Tell the people in the company and the netizens that he was the one who released the drama."

"You!" Pan Qizhong was choked by these words.

Go and shout on your own?
What's the point of shouting about this matter yourself?

What Xu Xiyu is asking now is for the top management to do a self-examination, not for all employees. Who among the top management doesn't know what's going on?

As for telling netizens, that is even more meaningless.

For netizens, this is just Xu Xiyu inviting everyone to watch the drama for free. Could it be that he still expects netizens to criticize him for "watching the drama for free"?
Thinking of this, Pan Qizhong frowned, held his breath for a long time, and then left.

Watching his leaving back, Liu Dazhou paced back and forth in the office, thinking. After thinking for more than ten minutes, he gritted his teeth, picked up some things and went out.

Two minutes later, he stood at the door of an office.

This office belongs to Qiao Shuangshuang.

That is, at the same time he was standing at Qiao Shuangshuang's door, more people appeared at the door of Xu Xiyu's office.

Netizens on the other side naturally have no idea that undercurrents are surging within Huaqing. They are now enjoying the show with great enthusiasm.

No one expected that just now everyone was still discussing the fact that Gulixiati took on 8 endorsements at once, and even had a confrontation with the haters.

Because the haters said all kinds of things that Gulixiati was not worthy of taking on so many endorsements.

As a result, before this line was completed, news came out that the feature film of "The Beginning" had been leaked.

For a moment, everyone's attention was drawn to it.

[Can anyone tell me if this is true? Is this another video of Xu Xiyu doing pole dancing? I watched six hours of pole dancing last time and it really scared me]

[It’s real, but don’t spend money to buy it. Just search on Baidu and you’ll find it. There are 12 episodes on the pirated website, not a single episode missing, and there are no opening ads.]

【real or fake? 】

[If you have time to ask here whether it is true or not, why don’t you just search it yourself? ]

[It’s true. I just checked it out. There are no bullet screens or comments. It’s a bit disappointing.]

[Not satisfied with this? Watch all 12 episodes at once, no need to wait for updates]

[No, why does Huaqing always have leaks like this? ]

[Do you really think this is a leak? ]

[I think it's true. If it was released intentionally, they should have only "leaked" two episodes a day. That way, the topic of "Beginning" would continue to be hot for a longer period of time, but all 12 episodes were leaked.]

[Damn, that makes sense]

"Mr. Mao, so, was "The Beginning" really leaked due to poor management?" Seeing this, Mao Gaojun's assistant also became a little suspicious.

Mao Gaojun frowned when he heard this and said, "How is that possible? Maintaining popularity requires costs. If it cannot be broadcast on a regular platform, can the cost be recovered?
I think he just wants the audience to have a good time all at once and to get a wave of traffic. At the same time, he uses this as an excuse to purge the people within the company.”

Speaking of this, Mao Gaojun felt an inexplicable surge of anger in his heart.

damn it.

I really didn't expect that Xu Xiyu could do this.

In fact, in addition to the above considerations, there is another point that he would never think of.

The reason why Xu Xiyu decided to release 12 episodes at once was because he also considered the plot issues.

On Earth, the early part of "The Beginning" was so amazing that the audience had high expectations for it. And this "high expectation" became even higher due to the time constraints of the update schedule.

As a result, some people felt that "The Beginning" was a failure in the later stages, and some even called it a "bad ending."

"The Beginning" certainly can't be said to have a bad ending, but the later part is indeed not as amazing as the early part.

Based on this situation, releasing 12 episodes at once can easily give the audience a better flow experience, thereby reducing the feeling that "the later stages are not as good as the earlier stages."

After watching a good work all at once, most people's reactions are "aftertaste" and "this is gone". In this way, everyone's evaluation of the quality of "Beginning" is likely to rise to a higher level.

Of course, as I said before, Mao Gaojun would never think of this reason.

If he couldn't think of it, then his assistant naturally couldn't think of it either.

The assistant said, "So it seems that Xu Xiyu didn't suffer much this time. A 12-episode TV series doesn't seem to sell for much money. The actors in this show are all his people, so they can still benefit from the popularity."

Mao Gaojun was almost defeated when these words were spoken.

He gritted his teeth and said, "What do you mean by popularity? Where is the popularity? Right now, only Gulixiati has made a little progress.

Where is the male lead? Where are the actors for other roles? There is no news at all. Not only that, but even Hua Qing cannot use many of the conventional means of gaining popularity.

Can Xu Xiyu let the creators of "Beginning" do live broadcasts and appear on variety shows to promote and expose them? No!

Can I openly buy the related hot searches and promotions for "The Beginning"? No!

Even the creators of "Beginning" wanted to take advantage of the popularity, so they could only post content about "resisting piracy, starting with you and me". So, no matter how you look at it, Xu Xiyu lost this time.

Besides, it’s not certain whether the audience will approve of the show “The Beginning”. What if the audience thinks the quality of the show is not good enough?”

After these words were spoken, the assistant shrank his neck and did not respond.

Mao Gaojun didn't want to say anything more. He took out his computer and started searching for "The Beginning". He felt that he needed to read the content of this drama.

Seeing this, the assistant quietly put on his Bluetooth headphones and found a corner to watch.

At the same time, on the other side, in an office of Hua Qing.

Qiao Shuangshuang, who had neat short hair, gold-rimmed glasses, and light-colored casual professional attire, said to Liu Dazhou in front of her with a half-smile, "You mean, someone instigated you to look for Zhang Tonghe?"

"Yes, I don't know why I was asked to look for Zhang Tonghe, but after thinking about it, there is only one possibility, that is, someone might want to harm you."

"Why do you think that finding Zhang Tonghe will be disadvantageous to me?" After these words came out, the expression on Qiao Shuangshuang's face became even more playful.

"Mr. Qiao, before answering this question, let me make it clear that I have no second thoughts about you. Our film and television department is thriving under your leadership, and everyone can see it." Liu Dazhou first expressed his attitude.

Then he said weakly: "The reason why I think so is that I accidentally heard someone say that you and Zhang Tonghe..."

"Yes, there was such a period." Qiao Shuangshuang admitted it generously.

Seeing that Qiao Shuangshuang admitted it, Liu Dazhou immediately slapped his thigh and said, "Oh! Something's wrong, Mr. Qiao. This guy owed money from gambling recently, and he used private photos and videos of him and some girls to pay off the debt!"

As he spoke, he was observing Qiao Shuangshuang's reaction.

But Qiao Shuangshuang didn't react at all, and still looked at him with a playful smile on her face.

This made Liu Dazhou shut his mouth in disappointment, and he was about to say something to ease the atmosphere.

Qiao Shuangshuang leaned back, took off her gold-rimmed glasses and held them in her hand. She wiped them with a glasses cloth and said, "Old Liu, I'm sorry to disappoint you. He and I don't have any private photos or videos."

"Boss Qiao!" Liu Dazhou stood up suddenly, his face flushed, "I am loyal to you, I don't mean that at all!"

Upon hearing this, Qiao Shuangshuang said without even raising her head, "The company requires the senior management to conduct self-examination. You are one of the senior management. You should go back and think about how to report to President Xu."

"Mr. Qiao, I am truly loyal to you!" Liu Dazhou continued to emphasize.

"I understand what you mean. Okay, you can go back first." Qiao Shuangshuang looked up at him.

"Well, then I'll go back first." Liu Dazhou's expression looked better now, and he turned his head and left.

After he closed the office door, Qiao Shuangshuang's face gradually became gloomy, and the gold-rimmed glasses in her hand were broken by her unconscious force.

"Zhang Tonghe, you are really looking for death!" Qiao Shuangshuang said while gritting her teeth, and then slammed her glasses heavily on the table.

To be honest, she had always believed that there was nothing shameful about her and Zhang Tonghe. Not to mention shameful things, the two of them didn't even have a proper photo together.

After all, at that time, I was a small director and Zhang Tonghe was the big star. Leaving a video would be a greater threat to Zhang Tonghe. He didn't take photos with me at all, saying that he was afraid that fans would find out.

In addition, Qiao Shuangshuang instinctively avoided this shameful past, so she never thought about having any contact with Zhang Tonghe again.

But now when she heard Liu Dazhou say this, her vigilance instantly rose.

Pan Qizhong also became alert. He sat in his office and thought about Liu Dazhou's condition. The more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong.

The more something was wrong, the more he wanted to do something.

After thinking for a while, he gritted his teeth and ran to knock on Xu Xiyu's door.
