This man knows how to hype

Chapter 633 What are friendly competitors? (Thanks to the leader Shuiguokua)

Boomerangs happen every year.

There are especially many in recent years.

It can even be said that the speed at which the dogs clean the floor for their father cannot keep up with the speed at which their father stabs them in the back.

The much-hyped "New Paradise · The Wizard" was actually surpassed in ratings by the original version "New Paradise · Wangxian" which was released a few years ago.

The netizens almost died of laughter and went to the Weibo of the famous director to mock him.

[Is it possible that foreign audiences do not have the aesthetic ability to appreciate the film and television masterpiece "The Witcher"? Is it possible that foreign audiences do not have the ability to think independently? ]

[Most people in this world are normal people. Only these dung beetles think dung smells really good.]

[You are not allowed to insult dung beetles! What did the dung beetles do wrong? ]

[I don't know what you guys are so happy about. The reason why Wang Xian won the ratings championship is because you stupid fans climbed over the firewall to watch it. ]

[Classic! If there is anything in China that is successful overseas, it is all because of Chinese people, right? ]

[Dog, this is what I am saying. If Adan’s game sells well abroad, they will definitely use the same excuse, saying “all Chinese people are buying it, foreigners don’t like it at all”]

[Put in a ward, and come back to see it after it is released]

[I don’t understand, does it matter whether foreigners like it or not? ]

[It’s not important, but it’s very important in the eyes of these dogs. But the problem is, if foreign audiences really like it, they will be unhappy. What do you think their mentality is? ]

[My goodness, have the Danchu people gone crazy? Are they already imagining that Danchu’s game will be a big hit? ]

[Hahahaha, sometimes it’s quite fun to watch these brainless fans talk]

[For this game, if the sales can reach 100 million, I will stand on my head and eat shit. If the sales exceed , I will eat an extra pound! ]

[Tsk tsk tsk, the dog is getting anxious. Are you changing the subject now? Didn’t you say The Witcher is an epic masterpiece? Why are you criticizing the game again? ]

Public opinion became increasingly lively as "New Paradise: Wangxian" topped Netflix's daily ratings.

However, compared with the "ridicule and reckoning" of netizens, people in the industry have a different perspective on this incident.

Especially the person involved, Xu Xiyu.

After seeing the news, he directly called the core leaders of each of his companies to a meeting. The content of the meeting started with the single-day ratings champion.

At this time, in the large conference room of Ivy, Xu Xiyu looked around at everyone.

Then he pointed the laser pointer at the data on the projection screen and said, "I think everyone must be curious. How could Netflix allow such a ratings list to appear? Isn't this a major work mistake?"

After the voice fell, Qiao Shuangshuang laughed dumbly and continued: "Indeed, I also find it strange. If it were a situation like this in the past, wouldn't you suppress the data? Why not suppress it now?
This isn't a movie from a theater. They have their own platform and they have the final say on rankings. Could it be that... Netflix has somehow become fair and just?"

As soon as the words fell, a burst of laughter immediately rang out in the office.

Obviously, no one thinks that Netflix will be fair and just, or rather, not just Netflix, but all similar platforms at home and abroad will not be "fair and just."

Amid the laughter of the crowd, Xu Xiyu knocked on the table with his PowerPoint page-turning pen and said with a smile: "Everyone, I think the reason why this happened is very simple."

"What do you mean?" Shan Xinbao acted as the supporting actor.

"Because I turned right to the west." Xu Xiyu's tone was very calm, as calm as if he was saying "I ate a bowl of braised pork today."

But when everyone in the office heard this, they inexplicably felt their heart rate quicken a little.

Speaking of which, when many people sit together and chat, especially men, the content of their private conversations definitely includes the "international situation."

During the conversation, some of the things we said were "deeper and richer" than what Xu Xiyu just said.

But the problem is, no matter how deep and rich the private conversation is, it is just "bragging" and that's it.

If we must say how much this so-called "international situation" has to do with ourselves, it is a relationship of "passive acceptance".

It is different now. In this office, when Xu Xiyu says “turn right to the west”, it can actually affect everyone’s business and future development. This is a “proactive” relationship.

For a moment, everyone felt as if they were seeing the "wheel of history". It was really wonderful and fun.

However, Xu Xiyu himself did not have so many thoughts, but continued to analyze: "Everyone knows what the Western left has done in recent years, so there is no need for me to say more.

Let's analyze the specific issue specifically. The fact that Netflix released this list this time obviously shows that there are conflicts internally and with the relevant organizations of DI, and this conflict is so big that it cannot be reconciled.

Otherwise, they would never choose to publicly slap DI in the face at this time. This is the premiere day of "The Wizards of New Paradise". It would be weird if it wasn't intentional.

As the saying goes, a single leaf can reveal the coming of autumn. Netflix has such internal contradictions, but what about other companies? If all companies are like this, what about ordinary people?

You have to know that the West has a voting system. If the majority of the people are on the right, is it possible for the old left to come to power? If the right turns to power, will there be room for the DI and related groups to survive? "

At this point, Xu Xiyu paused, looked around at everyone, tapped the table with the PPT page-turning pen in his hand, and then said seriously: "I now believe more and more that we are on a path that conforms to history.

Our works, our team composition, our management and creative philosophy have never been influenced by Western leftists.

In contrast to us, many companies at home and abroad have been poisoned for a long time, so that they are unable to produce works and products that meet the needs of normal audiences.

This situation will continue. They will not be able to turn around within ten or eight years, and the reason why they cannot turn around is very simple.

Firstly, over the years, those outstanding talents who can do the work have been squeezed out by organizations like DI. Among the remaining ones, a considerable number are people who can do nothing but cause trouble. Boeing is an example.

Secondly, a centipede is still alive even after it dies, and organizations like DI are so intertwined that they will not be completely wiped out in a short time. However, they will gradually lose power externally, so in order to protect their interests, they will definitely increase their efforts to cut into the internal affairs, and the power of their dying struggle is enough for these companies to bear.

In summary, our international competitors will face a situation where they have no talent and no energy. What we need to do is to seize this gap, take steady steps, ensure quality and quantity, and catch up from behind..."

Speaking of this, Xu Xiyu suddenly remembered a famous saying of a well-known internet celebrity entrepreneur on Earth.

So, he said with a smile: "Everyone, let me put it more simply. Our international competitors are just idiots. We just need to do our own thing and they will kill themselves."

"Tsk~~"

"Pfft~~"

My goodness! As soon as Xu Xiyu said "international competitors are idiots", the office suddenly felt like a car tire had been punctured, with the sound of "leaking" everywhere.

Seeing that everyone was talking so much that they couldn't stop, Shan Xinbao tried to hold back his laughter and asked in order to keep the meeting moving forward: "So, is there anything we need to adjust in our work?"

When this question came out, Xu Xiyu raised his eyebrows and smiled, glancing at Shan Xinbao, as if to say "good question".

Of course adjustments are needed.

You know, outstanding talents all pursue the realization of their self-worth.

Therefore, he needs to take advantage of the current situation where "the right time, the right place, and the right people" all exist to give them the opportunity to "express themselves."

We cannot let them always be “executors”, we must give them the opportunity to be “creators”.

Otherwise, you won’t be able to keep people.

Also, Xu Xiyu has been thinking that there are talents like Jiaozi, Guo Fan, and Feng Ji on Earth, but not on Blue Star. Maybe he can find them if he looks for them?
How much trouble will be saved after finding them?
Thinking of this, Xu Xiyu said in his mind: "Rather than saying it's an adjustment in work, it's better to say it's an adjustment in thinking.

We should be aware of the excellence of Chinese culture and the advancement of Chinese ideas, which is something that many of our domestic counterparts do not have.

In other words, in future works, we should have the confidence to boldly express ourselves in a Chinese way. This is very important, otherwise we will not be able to distance ourselves from our Western and domestic counterparts.

Based on this concept, let’s first talk about binary phantoms. For your next animated film project, you can boldly try themes with a more Chinese flavor.

Anyway, our fame has already been spread through "Wall-E" and "Coco". With the foundation here, many obstacles and worries should disappear.

My suggestion is to start with The Investiture of the Gods, refer to the worldview created by excellent online literature in recent years, and then link it with the Chinese mythology system to create a Chinese mythology universe..."

The words are not finished yet.

Liu Jiming of the binary shadow immediately took the initiative to express his opinion: "Boss Xu, we will do whatever you say."

After he finished speaking, he looked around at the others and said with a smile, "To be honest, our two project teams have been working on orders from our sister company for a while now. We have been waiting for Mr. Xu to give us a new script."

"We are looking forward to it too." The person in charge of Little Moss also spoke up.

After that, he turned to Xu Xiyu and said, "Boss Xu, Wandering Blue Star is about to be released, and the project team will soon be idle. Can you give us three or five scripts in the second half of the year so that we can start working?"

"Yes, yes, Mr. Xu, it would be better if you could give us a few more people. Four or five is not too many. We have money now and our people are well-trained. We can set up another project team." Liu Jiming quickly agreed.

When Xu Xiyu heard this, he was dumbfounded.

and many more.

No.

Eh?
"Have you ever thought about writing your own scripts?" Xu Xiyu asked blankly. You come up with three or five, he comes up with three or five, how can I write one? Are you trying to kill me?

"Write your own script?" Liu Jiming was stunned by the question, "No, we don't know how to write a script. We will definitely use your script."

Just kidding, if it were any other company, they would be so happy if the box office of a project could reach 20 or 30 billion.

But in the binary phantom, if there are not 70 or 80 billion people in the world, it would be considered a failure.

In this situation, who would think of writing a script?

Not to mention the great pressure caused by the excellent examples before; let's just talk about the reality, on the one hand, there is a high possibility of loss in one's own creation, while on the other hand, one has to cling to others and wait for dividends and bonuses from billions of revenue.

Any normal person should know how to choose, right?
As for artistic pursuits and self-expression?
Stop joking. Not everyone in a film crew is a screenwriter. Everyone can achieve their artistic goals in other positions.

The most important thing is that Mr. Xu is so young. He can still hold on to this good boss for decades. He will not retire even if I retire. Where can I find such a good boss?

In this case, write the script yourself?
Are we crazy enough to write our own scripts?

Xu Xiyu suddenly realized what they were thinking.

For a moment, he felt it was over.

These grandchildren won’t rely on me, right?
How can the food in my stomach be enough?
Whether it can last for eight or ten years is another matter.

So, he changed his tone and said, "Lao Liu, you are also an artist, have you ever thought about starting your own project?"

"No, no, I know myself well."

Xu Xiyu: Damn it! Was this what you thought when you founded Binary Shadow?
So, he turned his head and looked at Little Moss: "Old Li, I remember that you were also a screenwriter before..."

"Oh my, no, I dare not. How can I call myself a screenwriter in front of you? Mr. Xu, even though I am 10 or 20 years older than you, I have always regarded you as my teacher!"

"..."Xu Xiyu.
