Chapter 375: How can there be any steadfast person?
The weather in July is very dry.
But what's 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 something was really wrong this time.
Ever since Zhang Wenyan's accident, the subsequent development was completely beyond the expectations of people like him.
What the hell is this even possible?
Who knows what Xu Xiyu will do next?
Thinking of this, he frowned and urged: "Old Pan, I don't think you should stay here anymore. Mr. Xu asked all departments to conduct self-examination. You should go back and prepare."
"Self-examination? Self-examination? No, do you really think "The Beginning" was leaked? Doesn't it make it clear that he released it himself?"
"Then go make a noise and tell the people in the company and netizens that he released this drama."
"You!" Pan Qizhong choked at these words.
Go make a noise yourself?
What's the use of shouting about it yourself?
What Xu Xiyu is now asking for is a self-examination by the top management, not a self-examination by all employees. Who at the top doesn't know what's going on?
As for telling netizens, that would be even more pointless.
For netizens, this means that Xu Xiyu invites everyone to watch the drama for free. Is it possible that he still expects netizens to criticize him for "watching dramas for free"?
Thinking of this, Pan Qizhong frowned, took a long breath, and then walked away.
Watching his leaving figure, Liu Dazhou was pacing back and forth in the office thinking. After thinking like this for more than ten minutes, he gritted his teeth, took some things and went out.
Two minutes later, he stood at the door of an office.
This office belongs to Qiao Shuangshuang.
That is to say, while he was standing at the door of Qiao Shuangshuang, more people appeared at the door of Xu Xiyu's office.
The netizens on the other side naturally don't know that there are undercurrents surging within Huaqing, and they are having a great time eating melons.
No one expected that just now everyone was discussing the fact that Gulishati accepted 8 endorsements in one breath, and even confronted the black men.
Because the black people are saying that Gulishati is not worthy of receiving 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 attracted.
[Can anyone tell me if it’s true? It’s not another video of Xu Xiyu pole dancing? I watched pole dancing for six hours last time and it was so scary]
[It’s true, but don’t spend money to buy it. You can find it by searching on Baidu. There are 12 episodes on the pirated website, which is a lot, and there is no pre-title advertisement]
[Real or false? 】
[You have time to ask whether it’s true or false here, why can’t you search it yourself? 】
[It’s true, I just checked it out, but there is no barrage and comment area, which makes it a bit uncomfortable]
[Isn’t this good? Watch all 12 episodes at once, no need to wait for updates】
[No, why does Hua Qing always leak things like this? 】
[Do you really think this is a leak? 】
[I think it’s true. If you think it was leaked intentionally, it should only be “leaking” two episodes every day. Only in this way can the topic of "The Beginning" continue to be popular for a longer period of time, but all 12 episodes were missed]
[Damn, that makes sense]
"Mr. Mao, so "The Beginning" was really leaked due to poor management?" Seeing this, Mao Gaojun's assistant also became a little suspicious.
When Mao Gaojun heard this, he frowned and said: "How is it possible? There is a cost to maintain popularity. If it cannot be played through regular platforms, can this cost be recovered?
I think he just wants the audience to enjoy it all at once and get a wave of traffic. At the same time, use this as an excuse to purge people within the company. ”
Speaking of this, Mao Gaojun felt an inexplicable anger rising in his heart.
damn it.
I really didn't expect Xu Xiyu to be able to do this.
In fact, in addition to the above considerations, there was another point that he would never have thought of.
The reason why 12 episodes were released at once was that Xu Xiyu also considered plot issues.
On Earth, because the early stages of "The Beginning" were so amazing, the audience's expectations for it were too high. And this "high expectation" has become even higher due to the time of the update schedule.
As a result, some people felt that "The Beginning" was too late in the later stages, and even called it a "bad ending".
"The Beginning" is certainly not a bad ending, but the later stages are indeed not as amazing as the early stages.
Based on this situation, releasing 12 episodes at once can easily make the audience's flow experience better, thereby reducing the feeling of "the later stage is not as good as the early stage".
After watching a good work in one go, most people's reactions are "aftertaste" and "it's gone". As a result, everyone's quality evaluation of "The Beginning" is likely to rise to another level.
Of course, it's the same sentence. Mao Gaojun would never have thought of this reason.
He couldn't think of it, and naturally his assistant couldn't think of it either.
The assistant said: "So, Xu Xiyu doesn't seem to have suffered much this time. The 12-episode TV series doesn't seem to be selling for much money. The actors in this series are all his, so they still enjoy the popularity."
As soon as these words came out, Mao Gaojun was completely off guard.
He gritted his teeth and said respectfully: "Why do you want to eat heat? Where can you eat heat? Now Gulishati is the only one who has made a slight improvement.
What about the male protagonist? What about the actors in other roles? There was no movement at all. Not only was there no movement, Hua Qing was also unable to use many of the conventional methods of gaining popularity.
Can Xu Xiyu allow the creators of "The Beginning" to conduct live broadcasts and go on variety shows to promote and expose them? cannot!
Can I buy the hot searches and promotions related to "The Beginning" openly? Neither can!
Even if the creators of "The Beginning" want to gain popularity, they can only post content like "Resist piracy, starting with you and me". So, no matter how you calculate it, Xu Xiyu lost money this time.
Besides, it's not certain whether the audience will recognize the show "The Beginning". What if the audience thinks the quality of the show is not good? ”
As soon as these words came out, the assistant shrank his neck and did not reply.
And Mao Gaojun didn't want to say anything more. He took the computer and started searching for "The Beginning". He felt that he needed to read the content of this drama.
Seeing this, the assistant silently put on the Bluetooth headset and found a corner to look at it.
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 business attire, looked at Liu Dazhou with a half-smile and said, "You mean, someone instigated you to find Zhang Tonghe?"
"Yes, I don't know why I am looking for Zhang Tonghe, but after thinking about it, there is only one possibility. Maybe someone wants to do harm to you."
"Why do you think it's detrimental to me to find Zhang Tonghe?" As soon as these words came out, the expression on Qiao Shuangshuang's face became even more playful.
"Mr. Qiao, before I answer this question, I would like to state that I have no doubts about you. Under your leadership, our film and television department is thriving, and this is something that everyone can see." Liu Dazhou expressed his feelings for a while. state.
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 a time like that." Qiao Shuangshuang admitted quite generously.
When Liu Dazhou saw Qiao Shuangshuang admitting it, he immediately clapped his legs and said, "Oh! There's a problem, Mr. Qiao. This guy recently owed money from gambling, and he used private photos and videos of him and some of his girls to pay off the debt!"
While speaking, he had been observing Qiao Shuangshuang's reaction.
But Qiao Shuangshuang didn't react at all, still looking at him with a playful smile on his face.
This made Liu Dazhou shut his mouth angrily, and he was about to say something to lighten the atmosphere.
Qiao Shuangshuang leaned back, took off his gold-rimmed glasses and held them in his hands. While wiping them with a glasses cloth, he said, "Old Liu, I'm sorry to disappoint you. I don't have any private photos or videos with him."
"Mr. Qiao!" Liu Dazhou stood up suddenly, his face flushed and said, "I am loyal to you, and I never mean that!"
When Qiao Shuangshuang heard this, she said without raising her head: "The company requires senior executives to self-examine. You are also one of the senior executives. You should go back and think about how to report to Mr. Xu first."
"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 raised her head and glanced at him.
"Hey, I'll go back first." Liu Dazhou looked better now, turned his head and left.
After he closed the office door, Qiao Shuangshuang's expression slowly turned gloomy, and the gold-rimmed glasses in her hand were pinched and broken by her unconscious force.
"Zhang Tonghe, you are really looking for death!" Qiao Shuangshuang said through gritted teeth, and then slammed her glasses on the table.
To be honest, she always thought that there should be no shameful video content between herself and Zhang Tonghe. Not to mention shameful, the two of them didn't even take a serious photo together.
After all, at that time, he was the editor-in-chief, and Zhang Tonghe was the big star. The threat of leaving images behind was even greater for Zhang Tonghe. He didn't take photos with him at all, saying he was afraid that fans would find out about him.
In addition, Qiao Shuangshuang instinctively avoided this unbearable past, so he never thought about having contact with Zhang Tonghe again.
But now that she heard Liu Dazhou say this, her vigilance instantly rose.
Also on the alert was Pan Qizhong. He was sitting in the office thinking about Liu Dazhou's state, and the more he thought about it, the more something was wrong.
The more something went 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.
