After rebirth, I became a great master

Chapter 575 Evil Cultivator
"Zhou Tai, I've come to report to you on my work."

Dong Lan was wearing a white short-sleeved shirt and a black long skirt today, looking exceptionally charming and elegant as she entered Zhou Haoran's office with a beaming smile.

They discovered there were other people in the office.

I didn't care.

"Director Lin is here too!"

Dong Lan wore a half-smile.

Lin Guiyan nodded slightly. "Director Dong, I heard you've been promoted again. Congratulations."

"Thank you." Dong Lan's big eyes seemed to speak volumes. "Did I disturb you?"

"Correct."

Lin Guiyan was just discussing the color and style of her bra with him when their precious moment of intimacy was interrupted.

Zhou Haoran waved his hand. "Alright, what is it?"

Dong Lan then became serious and reported, "After 'Princess Pearl' finishes airing, 'Yan Shuangying' will take its place."

"Oh, the Revolutionary Theater!"

This is a series of fantastical dramas planned by Zhou Haoran. Compared to the serious and passionate war dramas of the past, the more "divine" anti-Japanese war dramas are more popular.

Just like a historical drama.

The reason why "My Fair Princess" was so popular is because the show completely deviates from historical facts and is very entertaining with its fabricated stories. Similar characteristics can be found in other popular shows in recent years such as "Prime Minister Liu Luoguo" and "The Eloquent Ji Xiaolan."

Dong Lan said with some concern: "My Fair Princess is so popular now. I've received hundreds of letters from viewers who all hope that My Fair Princess can be rebroadcast."

"It really is."

Zhou Haoran nodded.

This drama series achieved phenomenal ratings during its initial run. Even more impressive was its second run. More than twenty satellite TV stations across the country rebroadcast the series, with viewership generally reaching 5%.

A national viewership rating of 5% is a benchmark.

If it exceeds 5%, then it's considered a very successful release period.

It is broadcast on all major TV stations, and the ratings are still guaranteed.

This shows just how popular it is.

Dong Lan said, "If 'Yan Shuangying' takes over the time slot of 'Princess Pearl,' normally it can maintain the popularity to a certain extent and bring some of the 'Princess Pearl' audience to the new drama. However, if many TV stations are rebroadcasting 'Princess Pearl' at the same time, there may be hidden dangers. The premiere of 'Yan Shuangying' may not be as good as the rebroadcast of 'Princess Pearl.'"

Zhou Haoran asked, "How many episodes are there in 'Yan Shuangying'?"

Dong Lan said, "26 episodes."

"Then the two weeks will be over..."

Zhou Haoran felt he needed to use some tactics to ensure the ratings of "Yan Shuangying," as it was Tangren Media's first self-produced TV series. He invested 400 million yuan and sold the first-round broadcasting rights to Red Star TV for 520 million yuan.

To ensure good sales in the second round, the first round of viewership ratings must be guaranteed.

"What to do?"

Dong Lan also didn't want her prime-time TV drama ratings to suffer a major setback right after her promotion.

“Easy.” Zhou Haoran was prepared. “I’ve already spoken with President Tang. When signing the second round of rebroadcast agreements, we need to have a unified schedule for the broadcast dates. This will prevent anyone from gaining an advantage by broadcasting first and anyone who broadcasts later from suffering a loss.”

Dong Lan smiled and said, "Yes, that's what I was thinking too. It would be best to draw a timeline so that no second run of 'Princess Pearl' can be broadcast before August 15th. Starting from August 15th, local TV stations can begin rebroadcasting it."

Zhou Haoran nodded and said in a deep voice, "Princess Pearl is a light comedy, meant to bring joy to the audience, a family-friendly drama. However, with the current floods, the entire nation is united in fighting them, and so many soldiers have sacrificed their lives in the fight against the floods, which is incredibly tragic. This time slot is more suitable for broadcasting patriotic dramas like Yan Shuangying. The rebroadcast of Princess Pearl must be postponed!"

"It really is!"

Dong Lan was filled with awe.

I thought to myself, Zhou Tai is indeed Zhou Tai, he's different, his vision is so high!

This reason is too compelling.

Using this as a pretext to demand that local TV stations postpone the rebroadcast of "My Fair Princess" would result in a legitimate and acceptable outcome.

Seeing that the two of them were talking about serious matters, Lin Guiyan left on her own initiative.

Seeing her leave, Dong Lan smiled and chuckled, "Director Zhou, between this Director Lin and me, who's more interesting?"

"what?"

Zhou Haoran thought to himself that Dong Lan's thinking was quite unconventional.

"Who's better, the two of us?"

Dong Lan winked, her meaning clear.

Ever since Zhou Haoran praised her as a top-notch beauty and a perfect bed partner, she has become quite ambitious. Instead of feeling ashamed, she is proud of it and full of self-confidence.

Zhou Haoran didn't bother to say anything, "I've never slept with her."

"Huh?" Dong Lan was taken aback. "Really? Judging from her expression... she shouldn't refuse, right?"

"She wanted to, but I didn't agree."

Zhou Haoran is not a casual person.

Dong Lan suddenly realized and said proudly, "That's right. She has a decent figure and a good temperament, but compared to me, she seems to lack something. After tasting my delicacies, she has no appetite for her home-cooked dishes."

Zhou Haoran laughed angrily, "What's the point of comparing these things?"

"I want to be your number one lover."

Dong Lan is certainly not lacking in ambition.

"Alright, alright..." Zhou Haoran waved his hand weakly. "Is there anything else? If not, go back. I still need to discuss the long-term cooperation between Lin Guiyan and the arts troupe regarding the 'City Playlist'."

"City Playlist" mainly invites singers to perform.

There were backup dancers and backup singers.

When necessary, singers from the troupe can be invited to perform on stage. This is a regular, long-term performance opportunity.

In addition, Zhou Haoran has already made arrangements with Lin Guiyan, the person in charge of the liaison office, to provide opportunities for the young artists in the arts troupe. Every month, Hongxing TV will provide the arts troupe with 12-15 opportunities to appear on various programs.

Mr. Da is a great savior.

Having rescued the local property market, the next step is to rescue the Hong Kong government's stock market.

We also need to help those young people trapped in the quagmire of the entertainment industry, especially young women; we should protect as many as we can. Mr. Da's influence is vast; he can shelter many people.

……

Xu You sent a message from the United States.

The website is finished.

It's called Trademark.net.

Next, we need to find ways to make money from the capital market.

If you want to make money, you have to achieve results first.

It needs to be done in two steps.

First, the trademark website aims to cooperate with a number of world-class companies such as Microsoft, Coca-Cola, Ford Motor Company, Mobil Oil, British Telecom, and Samsung.

For a trademark website to be authoritative, it needs to be certified by these global giants.

That's what makes it convincing.

Second, you need data.

A trademark website needs a certain number of registered users and a certain number of daily active users.

To demonstrate potential.

Zhou Haoran made arrangements, letting Xu You handle the first part, while he would personally take over the second part of the work.

"Dongfang Lang, where are you?"

Zhou Haoran thought of this kid.

"I'm at school. Tomorrow I'm going south to find Aido VCD."

Dongfang Lang's academic performance was poor, and he failed many courses, so he didn't focus his energy on studying.

"I remember Yangyang said that if any internet cafe in the harbor dares not to buy the Zhongbo Internet Cafe Management System, you will send a hacker team to attack it. Is that true?"

Zhou Haoran was no stranger to this kind of heretical cultivation path.

After all, they come from an internet background.

In this industry, there is never a clear distinction between good and evil. More often than not, people cultivate as evil practitioners and then present themselves to the world as righteous practitioners.

Dongfang Lang chuckled, "What's wrong?"

Zhou Haoran said, "Bring your team out here, I want to see them!"

Dongfang Lang said, "Actually, there are only two people, both from our school."

"Fine, then call it out!"

Zhou Haoran was even more pleased to hear that they were alumni.

That evening, Zhou Haoran went to the school.

I met Dongfang Lang.

And the two young men beside him, one named Ding Shuyu and the other named Kang Zhixue.

Both of them are juniors in college.

On one occasion, he hacked into Fudan University's internal system and stole the school's final exam papers... Not only that, he also hacked into the academic affairs system and was able to change students' exam scores.

He was eventually discovered and almost got fired.

It was only after Dongfang Lang approached Dean Cheng that he realized the talents were rare and that they were given disciplinary action but retained their student status.

Although Zhou Haoran was a computer expert, he didn't know much about hacking techniques. One was the righteous path, and the other was the unorthodox path; they were two different things. So he asked, "Do you know how to change internet IP addresses?"

"Yes!" Kang Zhixue was quite enthusiastic. "It's standard procedure. The first step for a hacker is to tamper with the IP address. Otherwise, if someone tries to investigate, they can just trace it back to the hacker by the IP address."

Zhou Haoran asked, "Can it be changed to American?"

Kang Zhixue laughed and said, "Sure, it can be changed to anywhere!"

Zhou Haoran continued, "If I asked you to log in to the Yahoo website right now, but Yahoo's backend showed that you logged in from New York, USA, could you do that?"

"too easy!"

For Kang Zhixue, this was child's play.

Zhou Haoran, however, was far from relaxed. "I want to scale it up."

"scale?"

"Is it possible to simulate tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of people logging into Yahoo! using virtual machines, with all the IP addresses coming from all over the United States?"

"so much?"

Kang Zhixue's eyes widened.

Anything simple becomes complicated once it reaches a certain scale.

The larger the scale, the more complex it becomes.

Dongfang Lang was also surprised, "Haoran, what are you going to do?"

Zhou Haoran said, "I'll take you to do some business with evil cultivators."
