The battle for traffic in Chinese entertainment

Chapter 420: Tear the Penguin apart again!

In the Red Velvet waiting room.

"Ahhhh! I can finally see 'Qing Yu Nian'!"

“Is it updated on Netflix???”

"It's not Netflix, it's WeTV! A new platform, said to be from a Chinese company?"

"Hey, do I have to watch Xu Xing's dramas here from now on?"

"Maybe."

"Is this drama good? I heard that the whole country of China is watching it?"

“I heard it’s beautiful!”

"here we go!"

"Xu Xing is so handsome!!!"

"I heard that this drama cost 1200 billion to produce."

"Wow! That's a lot of money!"

"Oh my God!"

"The actors in it are all the best actors in China."

“…No Korean dubbing?”

“…The subtitles are only in English and Chinese.”

"Oh! What a pity! The photos are well taken, but some of them are hard to understand."

“Why don’t you just watch it on Netflix?”

"Xu Xing, why haven't you appeared again?"

"This is a time-travel drama. This is the protagonist when he was a child. When he grows up, Xu Xing appears."

“The pictures and scenery are so beautiful~”

Listening to the chattering of her teammates gathered together, Bae Joo-hyun looked at herself in the mirror after she had finished her makeup, and she was breathtakingly beautiful. She gradually became absent-minded and her teeth accidentally clenched together.

What a disgusting name.

What a hateful person.

Since that day, there has been no news.

What's even more hateful is that some time ago, the film and television company he worked for in South Korea received investment from Kakao Entertainment and was going to cooperate with Netflix to shoot a big-budget TV series. The company's senior management reminded and encouraged Bae Joo-hyun to contact him and strive for the opportunity to star in the drama.

Pei Zhuxuan, who had already made up her mind to ignore that bastard, naturally would not have anything to do with him anymore and had no interest in contacting him at all.

However, she always felt in her heart that the brat owed her an explanation.

It was at this time that Pei Zhuxuan discovered that the damn bastard had actually deleted her WeChat friends...

West eight west eight west eight west eight west eight west eight! ! ! ! ! ! !
She used WeChat simply because the company wanted them to maintain a certain level of contact with Xu Xing. If they could develop some friendly relationships, it would be of great help to their development.

There is only Xu Xing on her WeChat, and she hasn’t even added her teammates or senior Lin Yoona.

But this bastard had already deleted her...

Xiba bastard Xiba bastard Xiba bastard Xiba bastard Xiba bastard Xiba bastard! ! ! ! ! !
I am so angry that I have menstrual cramps!!!

I had dysmenorrhea at that time, and it still hurts when I think about it now!

"Xu Xing!!!"

"Finally he's back on stage again!"

“So handsome!!!”

"Sitting on the ground with his chin in his hand while thinking is so cool!!!"

"Ah, the first episode is over!"

"I finally waited for it, but it's over..."

"Ah! It's really beautiful!"

Bae Joo-hyun couldn't help but roll her eyes.

There was no Korean dubbing or Korean subtitles, so how come we were so happy watching the whole episode together?

"Let's wait and see for the second episode. Judging from the past, Xu Xing's fans will make Korean subtitles, so it may be released in Korean in a while."

"I really want to have a fan like Xu Xing-senpai."

"…Then we are the world's number one girl group."

"Ah ha ha ha ha ha!"

"Hahahahaha! What are you thinking about!"

“I still have to watch the second episode!”

"Otherwise, I can understand the English subtitles. I've made some progress in Chinese recently, and there's still a long time before I can go on stage."

"Okay, Chinese is so difficult! Wow! So cool!!!"

"Wow!!!"

"I feel like he's even more handsome than in Eternal Love! Such pretty clothes, such a handsome face! And he's so tall!"

"Yeah! What a charming smile!"

Bae Joo-hyun felt like her eyeballs were almost rolling 360 degrees.

A bunch of crazy fans!
Do you know how perverted that bastard actually is???

I really want to record it and send it to their fans!
Let everyone see that they don't have the qualities to be idols!

...It's a pity that this is my teammate, a teammate I have to...

After a while, the voices of the crazy fans nearby gradually quieted down.

All that was left was random chat.

"Alas, I was planning to go to that newly opened hot pot restaurant nearby to eat hot pot after this."

"I want to go too!"

“Is hot pot really delicious?”

"Of course! I saw Yoona senior also went there and said it was delicious."

"Don't you know that the hot pot restaurant belongs to Yoona-sama?"

Bae Joo-hyun suddenly interrupted.

There was a moment of silence.

"really?"

"Why hasn't Yoona's investment been reported before?"

"Then won't we get a discount if we go?"

"Senior Yoona is so rich!"

The other four people asked.

"Just ask senior Yoona and you'll know."

Bae Joo-hyun ended her long gaze at herself in the mirror, turned around and smiled gently at them.

Yoona senior...it really seems like you have lost your mind.

Originally, the company wanted Xu Xing to give her a small portion of the shares, but in the end, the company's shares became a hot pot restaurant...

She was very happy.

Huh~
Maybe she just likes rude and impolite boys like that!
...I don’t know how she can endure it with such a thin body.

……

"Haven't you already seen it on Penguin Video?"

Xu Xing smiled.

"I want to watch it again on WeTV and help you contribute more views!"

In the video, Yoona blinks her eyes and looks particularly cute.

"Okay, thank you, Yoona-sama!"

Xu Xing smiled.

"You're welcome!" Lin Yoona shook her head seriously, "It's about taking care of the juniors!" Then, her expression quickly turned into cautious expectation.

"I want to go to Qing City."

"sure."

Xu Xing nodded.

"Oh!" Lin Yuner immediately cheered and jumped for joy, "I really want to meet my dad right away!"

"Then you can come tonight."

Xu Xing invited with a smile.

"It's too late now!" Lin Yuner lamented with great regret, "I'm so busy this week, I won't have time until next week."

"Then come next week."

"Uh huh huh!!!"

After hanging up the video call, Xu Xing returned to the room from the balcony.

"Don't move!"

A cold voice sounded.

Xu Xing immediately raised his hands.

Wearing a face chain and dressed in the same goddess Athena style as in the "Kill This Love" MV, Ms. Kim Ji-soo, holding a drawn bow and arrow, tried hard to hold back her laughter and walked in front of the panicked Heo Xing.

Xu Xing’s acting is so good that it makes Kim Ji-soo have to endure it so hard!
And then——what to do?

Because Xu Xing didn't say anything and just had a frightened expression, Kim Ji-soo didn't know how to proceed.

After waiting for a few seconds, Xu Xing still didn't speak.

Kim Ji-soo gritted her teeth and aimed the arrow at Xu Xing's heart which was so close to her.

Launch gently!

hmm~
Xu Xing covered his heart silently with his hands, his expression painful.

Jin Zhixiu slowly put down the bow and knelt in front of Xu Xing.

Hands together.

"Please forgive me."

After he finished his confession with full of apology, he raised his face with a pious look.

Release the greatsword.

"Punish me."

She muttered to herself and tried to swallow the giant sword.

……

interesting.

South Korea and Qing City are really close, only two or three hours away, and anyone who wants to come can come.

Kim Ji-soo came to express her gratitude to Heo Xing because Heo Xing suggested that she star in "Sweet Home".

In fact, since Jennie from the same group had already released a solo single last year, YG was not very willing for other members to go beyond their plans and develop other personalities.

Or at least not resources like "Sweet Home", because Kim Ji-soo can't play the female lead, and this is also a zombie drama.

Although Kim Ji-soo is not very good at singing and dancing, she can only work hard to develop into an actress in the future, but can't Xu Xing give Ji-soo a drama with the female lead?
This was YG’s initial response.

But Xu Xing's attitude is that it doesn't matter whether she acts or not. Anyway, Ms. Kim Ji-soo's acting skills are really terrible, and she is not as beautiful in the drama as on the stage. This fact makes it the same whether Xu Xing or YG promotes the presentation.

In the end, probably because of the news that Bae Joo-hyun might star in the film, YG finally agreed.

After all, it can help accumulate some performance experience, and it is also a way to establish a relationship with Netflix. Putting your name together with Netflix can also help to boost your international influence.

Because of the brilliant performance at the Coachella Music Festival, BP's development has entered a new stage, and the group has been very busy during this period.

So the original plan was to wait until the filming of "Little Red Flower" was completed before having a tryst.

After this matter was confirmed, Ms. Kim Ji-soo immediately found an opportunity to thank Xu Xing.

He also showed off his acting skills.

Honestly, it was terrible acting.

But the shape is really great, and if the face chain is used well, it will be really nice.

Kim Ji-soo, who blushes every time she sees a photo, buried her head in Xu Xing's arms for a long time when she saw the settlement photo.

Accessories and props can always add a lot of fun.

After seeing off Kim Ji-soo, Sun Man reported to Xu Xing at noon about the second week of the resumption of broadcasting of "Joy of Life" in China and its official launch in other overseas regions.

The domestic Internet continues to be flooded with messages.

Compared to the last week when the show was first aired and the advertising issues took away some of the attention, this week the entire network was basically discussing the plot itself. Last week, the internal jokes of the show continued to this week, causing many netizens who had not watched "Joy of Life" last week due to its terrible popularity to finally open the app and join the army of chasing the show.

A time-travel drama that promotes ancient costume political intrigue actually has sniper rifles, robots, and a military museum. What is going on?
And Director Chen actually plays a martial arts master this time?
The most powerful grandmaster in the whole play?

Director Chen is going to shoot a fight scene? What will it be like? ? ?
There is also the male protagonist's mother, Ye Qingmei, who sounds so powerful. The marketing accounts hype her up as a real heroine. The only problem is that they mistakenly trusted the scumbag Emperor Qing.

The most powerful people in the world were all trained by her. Fan Xian has been eating the inheritance she left behind. Does everyone love Fan Xian? Everyone loves Ye Qingmei!
It's obviously a very Mary Sue character, but it feels particularly appealing.

The hero, Fan Xian, is loved by everyone, and his ultimate goal is to kill his father to avenge his mother.

The old-fashioned patricide sermon in the novel?
But have you filmed other dramas before?

Compared to those dramas about fighting spirit turning into horses, thunder breaking the universe, reincarnation and amnesia for three lives, betraying everyone and becoming enemies with the whole world for you, "Joy of Life" truly reflects how charming the imaginative settings and imagination of online novels are!
Even though the entire novel has been explained by marketing accounts, it still does not affect my interest in reading it at all.

On the contrary, the more I understand it, the more I want to see how such a story will be filmed.

The robot that always protects the hero, the sister who uses a sniper rifle, and Chen Pingping who was tortured to death...

Judging from the current online reviews and my own feelings after actually watching it, it was filmed really well!
The more you watch, the more you can feel how sincere the crew was when making this drama. They made appropriate adaptations but also respected the original work. They balanced the rhythm issue, which is the most difficult problem when adapting a novel of millions of words. The costumes, makeup, and shot editing are all first-rate!
For a drama like this, even if you watch more ads——

No!

Happy Penguin Birth!
There are ten opening and ending ads in total!
The psoriasis in the lower right corner looks so disgusting! ! ! !
How do you have the nerve to raise membership prices?

Well, the issue of advertising is still being debated, but the attention has been greatly reduced.

When netizens saw the video sites’ press releases about their plight, they either turned a blind eye or went over to curse, “They want to match Netflix’s membership prices, but are they matching the quality of their series???”

Compared with other websites, the most people curse Penguin.

It’s not just because “Joy of Life” is broadcast on Penguin, Penguin is so “stubborn” that it tries every possible way to cram in ads except for the mid-roll ads.

This is also because "Joy of Life" has finally been launched on Penguin Video International Station WeTV.

Compared to Netflix's previous emphasis on providing multiple languages for Xu Xing's works in Asia, WeTV, which was hastily launched in mid-June, only prepared Chinese and English for "Joy of Life".

Today, Penguin Video released a press release in China, praising "Joy of Life" for increasing the number of new WeTV members to over one million overnight, and praising Xu Xing for once again shockingly dominating Asia!

But the Stars didn't buy it either, they all exploded.

Before "Joy of Life" was officially launched, the stars had already contacted Zhengrong and Penguin Video through the fan club to confirm the preparation of subtitles and dubbing for the international version of "Joy of Life".

Because Mantianxing has a special subtitle group, when Xu Xing's works were released online, Netflix and Zhengrong also cooperated with them specially. Subtitles of major countries in Asia were all installed, and there were also dubbings in many countries.

As for "Joy of Life", Zheng Rong handed over the work after completing the final production, and Penguin Video was responsible for everything.

Mantianxing has inquired many times, and the response from the WeTV project team within Penguin Video is that Mantianxing should be absolutely assured that they attach great importance to Xu Xing's work, and when "Celebrating Yu Nian" is launched on WeTV, they will definitely install international language subtitles!!!

In the end, it was only English.

Less than three minutes after "Joy of Life" was launched on WeTV yesterday, the senior management of Mantianxing jumped out, threw out the chat records, and tore apart the docking management of the WeTV project team, and criticized WeTV and Penguin Video.

All the stars have been cursing since yesterday until today, and their intensity has not diminished in the slightest.

WeTV apologized and promised that subtitles in multiple languages would be installed within a month. It also explained that because it wanted overseas stars to see "Joy of Life" first, WeTV launched the site in a hurry and many things were not done in time.

Instead, it added fuel to the fire and made the Stars extremely angry!
Pony has been sold countless times.

Xu Xing...

Posted an apologetic expression on overseas social media.

Then Mantianxing was ready to form a group to attack Shencheng.

　Owe 7k.

　　I’m not in a good state. I’ve thought about what to code later, but I haven’t finished coding this rhythm yet.

　　Tomorrow it should be a little more than 6k.
