This director lacks vision.

Chapter 72 sparks controversy
With the accumulation of the first three seasons, plus the growing audience of the Sohu Video platform.

The fourth season of Bath King was already highly anticipated.

The first episode of "The Little Wish" immediately attracted a lot of attention and discussion after it was released.

The topic of comedy became a trending topic on Weibo.

"Having a good meal" has topped the trending searches and has gradually become a popular internet phrase.

Terms such as "tank" and "gun barrel" were also frequently mentioned.

In just three days, the first episode of The Last Wish has garnered over ten million views!

The second episode features Aoi Sora, which has generated even more buzz.

It reached 100 million views in just 46 minutes, setting a new record.

Compared to the comedic style of the first three seasons of Bath King, the fourth season, Little Wish, is a big improvement. It is not only funnier, but also has a main storyline.

The whole story revolves around helping Lu Xiaogeng break through his barrier.

The resulting effect is almost identical to a sitcom on television.

It's just that it's on a larger scale and closer to the lives of young people.

No matter what industry you're in, once you reach the top, you'll enjoy extra attention and traffic.

Jiang Yifeng has this feeling right now.

Jiang Yifeng is now an absolute top blogger in the online video field.

He can easily post a video that gets millions of views, and his advertising revenue continues to rise.

Moreover, Jiang Yifeng also benefited from the blue ocean market.

There aren't many video bloggers now, and the video content available to netizens is far less abundant than in later generations.

People's attention is still relatively focused, not scattered.

That's why "small wishes" are becoming increasingly popular.

Following the Dashan group, Bai Ke, a young man, also gradually became popular online.

Many people have started to imitate Bai Ke's tone of voice.

Fengxing Media has proven that the company can not only continuously produce content, but also promote its artists, and has begun to attract the attention of capital. Investment managers have already called Jiang Yifeng.

Everything was moving in a positive direction, so Jiang Yifeng stopped paying too much attention to "the little wish".

He spends one or two days a week filming web series, and devotes the rest of his energy to the post-production of "Lost in Thailand".

By November 18th, post-production of "Lost in Thailand" was completed.

After watching the sample film, the railway bureau's publicity department, through internal discussion, agreed to list "Lost in Thailand" as a key promotional film and to mark it at the beginning and end of the film.

With Lin Shan from the railway bureau intervening, Han Sanping was very easy to talk to and readily agreed to distribute the film "Lost in Journey".

The film's release date is set for the Spring Festival period, specifically February 10th.

Seeing that there was still plenty of time, Jiang Yifeng decided not to rush into promoting the film and instead focused on filming "The Last Wish".

On November 20th, the seventh episode of "A Little Wish" was updated—watching cat videos.

This episode tells the story of how Bai Ke finally found a beautiful woman willing to treat him to a "good meal," but when the time came, he became timid and cowardly, afraid that he would not perform well and that the woman would not be satisfied.

So his brothers started teaching him.

The first step is to watch cat videos.

Bai Ke looked speechless as he watched the video of two cats "fighting," and frantically complained: "Is this what you call a cat movie? What can I learn from this? How to roll on all fours, or grow a tail to control my balance?"

"Sorry, we put the wrong one in. It's this one."

"This...this is a tiger! Is this a big cat movie?!"

"Women are like tigers, have you ever heard of a tigress? You must understand this!"

Now I'm going to teach you your first lesson, which is called "Three Don'ts".

It's okay for you to sleep with a beautiful woman in your arms, but it's not okay to have expectations of her.
It's okay for you to kiss a beautiful woman, but it's not okay to believe what she says.

It's fine to have beautiful women on both sides of you, but it's not fine to be dominated by beautiful women.

……

This episode of the video combines humor with some educational content.

After its release, the number of views soared, and the term "cat video" once again topped the trending searches.

After this period of development, "The Last Wish" has become a phenomenal hit web series, receiving enthusiastic support from young people.

Related topics abound, and numerous internet memes have emerged. However, the video's immense popularity isn't entirely a good thing.

Sexual intercourse is a topic that has always been controversial in the country.

Coupled with the actions of business competitors, the "Little Wish" became a huge hit, but it also attracted a lot of controversy.

It all started when a blogger on Tudou.com named "Sanqi Ershijiu" posted a video.

"A compilation of suggestive content from 'The King of Bathhouses.' If I could film like this, I could become famous too!"

This video extracted a large amount of suggestive content from the show "King of Bathhouses" and drew a simple and crude conclusion: Jiang Yifeng's popularity is entirely due to his explicit content.

"He made his fortune through pornography; it's a tragedy for our country that someone like him can become famous!"

The video was featured on the homepage of Tudou.com as soon as it was released, and its views exceeded one million in just two days.

Although this video blogger has been criticized by many, he also has a considerable number of supporters.

Moreover, he gained followers very quickly, acquiring 2 followers in just one day.

Seeing this, the video bloggers on Tudou.com understood the platform's intention and began posting various related videos.

Youku and Baidu's Qiyi Video followed suit.

They also deliberately broadened the scope of their attack, not only accusing Jiang Yifeng and the "King of Bathhouses," but also listing all the borderline content on Sohu Video.

This wave is nothing more than a straightforward business battle.

Moreover, it's a strategy of "preferring to inflict eight hundred wounds on oneself rather than one thousand wounds on the enemy."

These video websites also contain a lot of borderline content.

If we really get serious, everyone needs to conduct rigorous reviews.

But there's nothing we can do; Sohu Video is developing too fast.

With the rise of Weibo, the two platforms complement each other, creating a siphon effect on the top players.

If things continue as they are, Youku and Tudou will have little chance of success, and their financing and valuations have been affected.

Baidu also needs to burn more money.

In this situation, they had to take a risky gamble and dismantle Jiang Yifeng's reputation to slow down the development of Sohu Video.

Besides the major video websites, online media such as Xinlang are also stirring things up.

Starting from November 20th, various news items have been appearing on the homepage of portal websites.

A middle school student skipped school to go to an internet cafe just to watch "A Little Wish".

A middle school teacher complained that students are constantly talking about "having a nice meal" and are unable to concentrate on their studies.

[Parents collectively complain that "A Little Wish" is a vulgar comedy that is poisoning the minds of teenagers!]

[Experts: Sex education should be serious science popularization, not something to be used for unrestrained humor.]

……

These media outlets also employ ruthless tactics, specifically bringing in teenagers and their "worried" parents and teachers to expose the social problems associated with "small wishes."

This is the same approach used to criticize video games.

Along with "The Little Wish," the TV series "Dwelling Narrowness," which aired in November, also sparked heated discussions.

This drama focuses on housing issues, and with the added themes of coffin-related corruption and extramarital affairs, it has become quite controversial.

The character Xiao Bei, played by Wen Zhang, perfectly embodies the lyrics of A-Du's song "He Must Love You," transforming into a warrior under a car.

The scenes of Hai Zao and Song Siming's rendezvous, with their actions and dialogue, were no less explicit than those in web dramas, and perhaps even more so.

On November 22, the show "Dwelling Narrowness," which was originally scheduled to air on the Youth Channel of Yanjing TV, was suddenly taken off the air.

Media outlets began reporting on the news that "Dwelling Narrowness" had been taken off the air and edited.

In fact, both Dragon TV and Shenzhen TV were broadcasting "Dwelling Narrowness" normally, but the media ignored it for the sake of generating buzz.

In this situation, a lot of noise started to appear online.

"Dwelling Narrowness was taken off the air and edited, so why is The Last Wish still being broadcast normally?"

"Rectification should be applied equally to all, and even small wishes should be removed and rectified."

Jiang Yifeng did not rush to respond to these controversies, but continued to update his blog.

His goal has always been clear: get the system rewards first.
