"It's almost ten o'clock, why doesn't Bai Xingjian post a Weibo post?"
"And not only Bai Xingjian did not post on Weibo, but even the official account of "Squid Game" did not post on Weibo."
"The case has been solved. Although "Squid Game" did not post on Weibo in China, it still posted relevant online information on Correa and international social platforms."
"Sure enough, Bai Xingjian finally gave up the domestic market!"
"It's not okay not to give up. "Squid Game" cannot be launched in China. Then Bai Xingjian still had a big face to support domestic audiences? If I were Bai Xingjian, I would definitely not be able to do such a thing."
"Hahaha, who said no?"
In a girl's dormitory at Linjiang Normal University, Penny Wang, Liu Yue, Lai Jie and Rossi were discussing heatedly.
As they said, there are less than two hours left before midnight on April 1.
However, on the domestic social platform Weibo, Bai Xingjian and the official accounts of "Squid Game" did not release any news, and they seemed to be out of touch, which also made many domestic netizens give up.
Of course, it also made many domestic netizens feel at ease.
The Magic City.
Ushi Office Building.
Although it was late at night, it was still brightly lit here.
"Bai Xingjian has not posted any Weibo yet. It seems that he really plans to give up the domestic market."
Chu Liya said as she looked at the content on her phone.
For the past few hours, Chu Liya has been following Bai Xingjian's Weibo, for fear that he will do something slutty.
For example, let his fans go to Netflix International to support his "Squid Game".
However, judging from the current situation, Bai Xingjian's face is not that big.
"It's not okay if you don't give up."
In the office, Ding Yuntao smiled and said, "If Netflix Huaguo and Youshi were not allowed, it would be difficult for domestic audiences to watch TV shows on Netflix International Platform, which is no less than washing their hair in an upside-handed manner."
"Yes, there is no need to say about climbing over the wall. This is very simple, but a member who subscribes to Netflix."
Hong Xingrong smiled and said, "The payment process will probably bring a drink to the person involved."
Chu Liya also empathized with this matter.
She nodded vigorously and said, "I remember that I was persuaded to withdraw by Netflix because of this link. The foreign payment process is too cumbersome."
"I just don't know if Netflix international platform keeps pace with the times and connects to the interface between WeChat payment and domestic bank card payment."
Ding Yuntao said with a smile.
The reason he said this is because Netflix China has already connected to the relevant interface.
When domestic users use it, they no longer have to spend money like Netflix International Edition.
"This plan may be a bit difficult to implement."
Chu Liya smiled, raised her hand to look at the time, and sighed:
"There is less than an hour and a half before the "Spiritual" will be launched, which is really exciting!"
Ding Yuntao nodded: "I guess there are many viewers sitting in front of the computer or holding their mobile phones, waiting excitedly for Netflix China to go online."
"It's not as fanatical as you said. It's still an hour and a half before time."
Hong Xingrong waved his hand with a smile, "Although the alliance between Youshi and Netflix is a very pioneering cooperation, we Youshi don't have many fanatical fans. This situation will probably happen after the list of those starring actors is revealed."
So far, the list of actors for the drama "The Lord" has not been revealed.
The purpose is to wait until "The Spiritual Lord" is released before exposing it, and then attract the popularity of fans of these actors.
Chu Liya smiled and nodded, "If you look at it like this, it will probably be a sleepless night tonight."
"I can only say that the friends who stay up late tonight are blessed." Ding Yuntao also sighed.
...
As Chu Liya, Ding Yuntao and others said, there are indeed many people waiting for the "Spiritual" tonight to be launched in the early morning.
Of course, there are also many viewers who are looking forward to how many films, TV series and variety shows they can see on this platform after Netflix’s Chinese server.
If there are enough quantity and good quality, it is not impossible to buy a member to support it.
In addition to these normal audiences, some people who do black production have also set their sights on Netflix.
After all, with so many resources on the Netflix platform, you may have some unexpected gains during its national server and free period.
...
Neon, Tokyo.
On the large LED screen at Shibuya Crossing, the countdown to the release of the "Never End" theme is scrolling.
02:31:56
...
02:31:53
...
02:31:50
...
"I don't understand why "Never End" was launched at 1:00 a.m.."
At the intersection, a little girl with black-framed glasses and paired ponytails asked in confusion.
"I don't understand either. This is one in the morning, not one in the afternoon. What kind of slutty is Netflix doing?" said the person who was walking with the ponytail girl.
"According to customary, dramas like "Never End" with huge production costs should be launched on time at 0:00 PM, right? It turned out to be at 1:00 a.m. This time it was really confusing!"
"I guess it may be to facilitate the "Spiritual" in China. After all, the drama "Spiritual" was launched at 0:00 am in China time, which just happened to meet ours at 1:00 am."
"It seems that the same is true. After all, "The Squid Game" which is extremely popular in Correa is also launched at 1:00 a.m.."
"But why is the drama "Spiritual" worthy? Everyone should follow its time?"
"Because the Chinese country behind "The Spiritual Lord" is China. I don't need to say more about the importance of China in the international arena?"
"Tsk, not even developed countries, what should we compare with our neon?"
"Maybe we can compare sports cars that go out in broad daylight."
"Let's go, turn left and turn red light."
...
Unlike Mitsui Film and Television's big money, Bai Xingjian did not spend money on LED screens in major business districts in Seoul, and countdown to the launch of "Squid Game".
Anyway, "Squid Game" and "Never End" were launched at the same time, and when everyone discusses the drama "Never End", they often mention "Squid Game".
So this is equivalent to saving a lot of publicity and distribution expenses in Baixingjian.
"The Squid Game is going to be online tonight. Are you nervous?"
Located in a luxurious large flat floor in Jiangnan District, Feng Shiqi asked Bai Xingjian.
At this time, they both snuggled up on the sofa, looking at the oversized TV hanging on the wall opposite.
The content played on TV is an original variety show produced by Netflix, called "Single is Hell".
"It is definitely fake to say you are not nervous."
Bai Xingjian smiled and said, "But it's just a little nervous. I believe in the content we made."
Feng Shiqi smiled slightly when he heard this.
"Sure enough, Brother Xingjian is still so confident!" Mei Jie, who was sitting beside him, sighed and said with a smile:
"Then I'm going to see how good this "Squid Game" is tonight."
Not long after the words were finished, Bai Xingjian's cell phone suddenly rang a ringtone that made people's heart rate rise.
The alarm clock rang.
"I'll go and make a call." Bai Xingjian quickly turned off the alarm clock. The ringtone sounded really heart-wrenching. "Go and go." Feng Shiqi smiled and patted his head.
Flipping over from his soft thighs, Bai Xingjian came to the balcony with his cell phone.
The purpose of making this call is very simple, which is to determine whether the relevant peripherals of the IP "Squid Game" are ready to be put on the shelves.
Once the drama "Squid Game" is launched, the surrounding areas of "Squid Game" will naturally be launched on major e-commerce platforms.
Having invested so much money in "Squid Game", it's time to get some money back.
Therefore, Bai Xingjian will naturally not let go of the surrounding area of "Squid Game".
Moreover, this is just the beginning of Baixingjian IP Paradise.
Perhaps no one thinks so much at this moment, but in the future, many people will probably remember this night.
Because this night seems to be the beginning of everything.
After making the phone call, Bai Xingjian returned to the living room with brisk steps.
After looking at the time, it was still two hours before the time was reached.
The newest ⊥Xiao⊥Speak⊥Send⊥Six⊥9⊥Book⊥⊥⊥⊥Back⊥⊥⊥⊥!
"Do you want to go to sleep for a while?" Bai Xingjian suggested looking at Feng Shiqi who had already lying down on the sofa.
As soon as he finished speaking, Bai Xingjian also sat back on the sofa.
Of course, because Feng Shiqi was lying down, he could only hold Feng Shiqi's calves and let them rest on his thighs.
The last day of March is already spring, so the temperature is very suitable.
Feng Shiqi did not wear socks, and even her pants were white casual cropped pants.
Therefore, in the current posture, you can clearly see a piece of smooth and white calves and ankles full of exquisiteness.
Perhaps because of just washing his feet, Feng Shiqi's ankles were like jade carvings, with very soft curves and white as porcelain, with faint blue veins.
Following the curve of the instep, there are slender and well-proportioned toes, from short to tall, from high to short, and from short to right arrangement.
The nails were painted with light pink nail polish, and shone with glimmer under the lighting of the living room, like ten crystal clear pearls.
Feng Shiqi shook his feet casually, stretching his toes flexibly, as if he was an elf playing in the water.
"Don't sway."
Bai Xingjian took the opportunity to hold her feet and rub them gently.
Feng Shiqi glanced at Bai Xingjian, and the corners of his mouth raised slightly, revealing a smile.
"I can't sleep, can you sleep?" Feng Shiqi said.
"I can't sleep either."
Bai Xingjian was very attentive as if he was playing with his beloved toys.
"Brother Jian, what are you doing? I'm still here." Mei Jie, who was standing beside her, complained.
When Feng Shiqi heard this, she tried to pull her feet back, but she couldn't move at all.
"It's okay, I'll give you a massage to Sister Shi Qi."
Bai Xingjian was unmoved and even complained: "Let's watch your variety show, don't worry about adults and children."
When Mei Jie heard this, she curled her lips and said nothing.
Feng Shiqi glared at Bai Xingjian and tried to pull back hard.
Then I found that I still couldn't get it, so I had to give up.
She whispered, "I suspect you are sick, so you have to go to a psychologist to see you."
"I also suspect that I am sick."
Bai Xingjian nodded in agreement, and then said under Feng Shiqi's expectant gaze:
"If you are sick, you have to take medicine, and the medicine is on my hands, so I have to take medicine."
Feng Shiqi's expression stagnated and his eyes widened, "You are really sick."
...
"Ten minutes! There are ten minutes left!"
Penny Wang said excitedly in a girl's dormitory at Linjiang Normal University.
Tonight, it’s not just their dormitory, but many dormitories around them are fighting at night.
Of course, some of them are for the drama "The Lord", some are for the drama "Squid Game", and some are for the drama "The Legend of the Squid", and some are for the Netflix platform.
As for Penny Wang’s dormitory, it goes without saying that she must have stayed up late in the drama "Squid Game".
"Please, this is simply too troublesome!"
Penny Wang looked at the content on the computer screen and said with emotion: "I have to buy traffic over the wall and also buy Netflix members. After a while, I spent hundreds of money and a lot of time. Finally, I got all these done!"
At this time, the content displayed on the computer screen is the details page of the drama "Squid Game" in Netflix's International Edition platform.
【To be online】
"I can only say that the threshold for supporting Bai Xingjian this time has been much higher."
After experiencing this personally, Liu Yue naturally felt the difficulty of watching Netflix international version in China.
If she had let her do these things herself, she would rather not watch "Squid Game".
"It can only be said that it is worth it. At least we don't have to find resources to watch foreign dramas in the future." Lai Jie said with a smile.
"Xiao Jiejie, Xiao Jiejie, we wouldn't even look down on Netflix without you!"
Rossi said with emotion: "If you really want to watch a drama on Netflix, I feel that membership fees are all small matters, and the traffic required to watch a drama is the big deal."
Lai Jie purchased a senior member of Netflix, which costs 175 yuan per month and can watch 4K+HDR.
Although the speed of the campus network is not low, there is no problem with running a gigabit.
But the problem occurs on the ladder, the image quality of 4K+HDR is so good that the traffic is used.
At that time, I guess after watching one episode of "Squid Game", the traffic of the Ladder's package will be used halfway.
Who can bear this?
"You don't have to worry about this!"
Lai Jie waved her hand and said proudly: "I have already found my cousin for this question. He will set up our dedicated airport for us in a while, with no speed or quantity limit."
"Damn!"
Hearing this, Penny Wang was so excited that she jumped up from her seat, hugged Lai Jie and kissed her:
"Xiao Jiejie, you are the god of embarrassment!"
"Liu Liuliu! It's really worthy of being the little rich woman in our dormitory!" Rossi gave Lai Jie a thumbs up.
"It's great to have money!"
Liu Yue, who was holding her chest with her hands, said with a big laugh: "It's better to have a rich roommate! Hahaha!"
After a jubilation, the girls returned to their original position.
It's just because the time has reached 23:58.
In less than two minutes, the drama "Squid Game" will be launched!
"We have worked so hard to support Bai Xingjian. I hope his "Squid Game" will not disappoint us."
Penny Wang picked up the coffee and drank it, full of expectations for "Squid Game".
Liu Yue nodded, picked up a cup of coffee and drank: "We stayed up late and tried our best to watch "Squid Game". If this "Squid Game" is not good, Bai Xingjian must have one for us!"
Rossi: "Strongly agree!"
Lai Jie smiled and said nothing. (This chapter ends)
