"Brother Lu, Chaoyang found me and wants me to help you reconcile. Aren't you angry?"
"Reconciliation? Yongqiang also mentioned this to me."
"I think, since we are all friends, there will definitely be opportunities for cooperation in the future, so can you let him go?"
Ding Sanshi and Zhang Chaoyang had a close friendship, and since they were good friends, they naturally agreed and called immediately to mediate.
"Zhang Chaoyang went too far this time."
Lu Fei sat in the back driver's seat, looking through the car window at the brightly lit streets, with a hint of guilt in his tone:
"I was originally targeting piracy websites, and I kindly asked him to join me. But as a result, not only did he steal my ideas and take away my reputation as the leader of the anti-piracy alliance, but he also dared to target Tudou and Xunlei in the first place. This is not obvious.
It’s for the penguins!
Not to mention his dirty tricks, humph, I've always been a person who doesn't offend anyone unless they offend me, but if someone offends me, I will offend them!"
"Chaoyang is really an asshole in doing these things."
Ding Sanshi knew he was in the wrong, but he still begged for mercy. In any case, Sohu lost money and lost its reputation. The traffic and ranking of the video website fell instead of rising. It was simply Chen Rui who touched the switch——
Uncle (lost) is in trouble!
"Well, since you came forward, I have to give you this face." Lu Fei borrowed the donkey from the slope and didn't want to continue the melee.
The entire video website has gone as he thought. Capital has entered the game and the cards have been reshuffled. The next step is to create Mr. Lu’s rules.
It’s really not possible without Sohu!
"Thank you, Brother Lu."
Ding Sanshi excitedly reported a series of addresses on the phone.
"Brother Ben, make a U-turn ahead and let's go to the cashier KTV."
Lu Fei asked Wang Ben to drive him to his destination, put on his mask quite skillfully, and walked into the splendid hall in a low-key manner.
The corridor was brightly lit, the doors of many private rooms were open, and noisy singing echoed in the ears of men and women.
"Hey, does that person who just passed by look like Azu?"
The woman who passed by Lu Fei stopped.
"Are you drunk too much?" Her female companion laughed and scolded.
Lu Fei came to the innermost private room in the northeast corner. The door was a double door made of golden glass. He pushed it open and looked around under the psychedelic colorful lights. He saw a row of sofas placed against the wall. Fan Erbing, Li Shuangbing, Ning Jing, etc.
The person suddenly comes into view.
Ding Sanshi, Zhang Chaoyang, and Gong Yu were sitting in the middle of the circular sofa, being held up by a group of stars like them. Their faces were all red and they looked like they were slightly drunk.
"You are a lonely bird, come..."
Fan Erbing's singing stopped suddenly, and the entire lively atmosphere suddenly cooled down. There was silence all around, with only the stereo playing accompaniment.
"Don't worry about me, keep playing music, keep singing."
Lu Fei walked straight over, and the beautiful woman sitting between Ding Sanshi and Zhang Chaoyang wisely gave up her seat and stepped aside obediently.
"Yangjin, the champion of the new Silk Road model."
Zhang Chaoyang took the initiative to introduce that the women present were all members of the Sohu Beauty Beast Mountaineering Team, "We will climb Qizi Peak in Tibet Province at an altitude of 6,026 meters in batches."
It's quite fun to play.
Lu Fei glanced at the female celebrities from both sides of the Taiwan Strait and three places, the last of whom were Miss World and model champions, and curled his lips in disdain.
"Feng Lun from Wantong and Wang Shi from Vanke will be here. I wonder if Mr. Lu is interested?" Zhang Chaoyang glanced at Gong Yu and saw him filling the drinks one by one with understanding.
"Since this is an event held by Sohu, why do you have the nerve to dominate the event?" Lu Fei waved his hand, "Besides, I don't have as much time as Mr. Zhang, so I have to go to the United States in just a few days."
Zhang Chaoyang said in a sour tone: "Mr. Lu is now the richest man in the Mainland. If you want, you can take a long vacation for yourself. If you have money, don't spend it. If you have blessings, don't enjoy them. What are you doing with so much money?"
Lu Fei spread his hands, "I never feel like the richest man. I even feel like I don't spend money. I don't have time to spend money."
"Damn, this is so annoying."
Ning Jing vaguely heard it and couldn't help but whisper loudly.
"Shh, what is this?"
Fan Erbing was in a mixed mood. Not only was he the richest man who couldn't spend money, but he also had Mr. Lu who was an unknown and beautiful person. He wanted to buy Lu Busi from Rui Chuangfei...
Ding Sanshi had long been accustomed to it. Out of the corner of his eye, he noticed the corners of Zhang Chaoyang's mouth twitching slightly. He suppressed it and said, "Mr. Lu, there was a little friction between us some time ago. Is there anything I can't apologize for? Don't take it to heart. Everyone has the same starting point, which is to fight against piracy."
"Since I promised to reconcile, I won't embarrass you."
Lu Fei crossed his legs and said, "Let's do this. As long as Sohu can join the 'Video Website Anti-Piracy Alliance' organized by Penguin, you will also attend the press conference. As for whether Sohu's Anti-Piracy Alliance should be disbanded, it's up to you. I Don’t force it, this condition is not difficult to achieve, right?”
"It's not difficult, it's not difficult, hehehehehe."
Zhang Chaoyang smiled and nodded, his posture low.
"Come on, come on, come on, drink."
Ding Sanshi raised his wine glass and touched him with his elbow.
"Welcome to be a member of the anti-piracy team, Mr. Zhang."
Lu Fei raised his neck and drank it all in one gulp.
The grudges disappeared over a glass of wine, and soon under Ding Sanshi's guidance, the two of them were polite on the surface and exchanged glasses.
Falling in the eyes of Fan Erbing and others, there was a hint of impatience in their surprised gazes.
Finally, Fan Erbing, who could no longer care about his reserve, rushed to toast Li Shuangbing and others with a smile on his face.
"Mr. Lu, recently I have often heard Mr. Wang and Mr. Wang say in the company that thanks to you, not only are there fewer pirated copies, but the copyrights can also be sold at a good price, so I have been asked to thank you."
"Thank you, and also thank you, Mr. Zhang and Mr. Ding."
Lu Fei raised the corner of his mouth, "Especially Mr. Zhang!"
"Mr. Zhang, Yi Ze (easy), Yi Ze."
Gong Yu was so excited that he hurriedly tried to dissuade him, which made the angry Zhang Chaoyang drink whiskey to vent his anger. The bitter wine entered his throat and made his heart hurt.
In the sight, Li Shuangbing and others who were surrounding him before were completely in love with the new and disliked the old. They were vying for each other and surrounding Master Lu again. Some people poured wine, some clinked glasses, and some invited songs.
"Mr. Lu, sing a song."
Someone sent a microphone.
Lu Fei waved his hands and declined, but the more this happened, the more Ning Jing and others started to make noises, and many women began to applaud and scream:
"Come on, Mr. Lu, if that doesn't work, how about we sing a chorus?"
"Mr. Lu, I heard from Jay Chou that you wrote the lyrics of the songs in "Qili Xiang". You are so good at writing songs, and you must be good at singing. Come on, sing one."
"Mr. Lu, come one!"
"Mr. Lu, come one!!"
Amidst the passionate calls, Zhang Chaoyang grabbed his pants with both hands. Damn it, I am obviously the protagonist.
The atmosphere was heightened to this point, and Lu Fei didn't want to use his power to overwhelm others. He first smiled bitterly, then raised his lips with a wicked smile, and grabbed the microphone handed by Li Shuangbing.
"Mr. Lu, let me order a song. What do you want to sing?"
Sheep Jin has quick eyes and quick hands, and grabs jobs diligently.
"No, this song probably hasn't been included in KTV yet. I just sang a few lines a cappella, cough cough~"
Lu Fei cleared his throat and hummed:
"Invincibility is so, so lonely.
Invincibility is so, so empty~
Alone at the top, the cold wind keeps blowing,
Who can understand my loneliness?"
Damn it, Mr. Lu!
Zhang Chaoyang couldn't believe his ears, his face turned red and his hair was shaking with anger.
"Mr. Zhang, Yi Ze (easy), Yi Ze."
Gong Yu felt that it made sense and was unable to refute it at all.
"How, how lonely it is to be invincible,
Invincibility is so, so empty.
Can she who is hiding in the horizon listen to me?
My loneliness, endless loneliness..."
"What the hell?"
Ning Jing, Ding Sanshi and others were so shocked by the thunder that they were scorched on the outside and tender on the inside. Green smoke was coming from their heads, and they shouted: "What kind of divine song is this?"
""How Lonely Is Invincible"."
Lu Fei stared straight at Zhang Chaoyang, who dared to be angry but dared not speak, and his heart became more and more happy, "What do you think?"
"Well, I don't think it sounds good or bad. It's really rare. In short, it's indescribable."
Fan Erbing, Li Shuangbing and others did not hesitate to praise him. They, who had low academic qualifications, racked their brains and almost ran out of words to praise him.
But no matter what, I will never sing with Lu Fei again.
Unconsciously, more than twenty minutes passed. The gorgeous light ball kept changing with the music melody, and the drunken women were dancing on the dance floor.
Lu Fei was bored and looked at his watch: "It's almost time. It's time for me to leave."
"Hey, Mr. Lu, you've only been sitting here for a while and you're leaving?"
Zhang Chaoyang was half-lying with his arms on the back of the sofa. Under the influence of alcohol, the anger that had accumulated in the audience leaked out.
"Give us some face and a few more drinks. Miss Fan, Miss Li and others must have thought the same way."
"Snapped."
Lu Fei leaned down, patted him on the shoulder, and whispered: "You invited me here to give me face. I can come and sit here for so long, just to give Zuding Sanshi face, do you understand?"
After speaking, he smiled and said: "That's it, I have something to do, so I'll take the first step."
Seeing Zhang Chaoyang deflated again, Ding Sanshi looked embarrassed. One was the eldest brother and the other was a buddy. They were confused: "Okay, I won't keep Brother Lu. Let's talk another day."
"Mr. Lu, let me see you off."
Gong Yu stood up and walked to the door respectfully.
"Gu Qi told me that you are a rare talent."
Lu Fei put on the mask again, "Have you ever thought about changing your environment like him?"
"Mr. Lu, please respect yourself."
Gong Yu looked loyal, but there was only one sun in my heart, and that was Zhang Chaoyang!
"You are a smart man. I believe you can definitely see that Sohu is destined to fail in the future, while Penguin and Feigou will definitely succeed, right?" Lu Fei looked at him intently.
Gong Yu hesitated to speak, neither agreeing nor objecting.
"So what's the problem?"
Lu Fei said slowly: "It's very simple. How can you succeed in the Internet with people like Zhang Chaoyang!"
"Mr. Lu, if nothing happens, I will first..."
Gong Yu was inspired, and it hit his heart.
"Who do you think Yongqiang said Zhang Chaoyang looks like? Like Xiang Yu."
Lu Fei glanced at him, and Wang Ben, who understood, immediately took a step forward to block Gong Yu's retreat, forming a double-team one after another.
He was like a devil whispering, "I think his metaphor underestimated Xiang Yu and overestimated Zhang Chaoyang. At most, he learned Xiang Yu's Night Walk in Jinyi. When he got rich, he stopped making progress and didn't care about Sohu at all.
Don’t you think so?”
"Lu, Mr. Lu, stop talking."
Gong Yu felt that every sentence spoke to his heart.
"I went to the United States also for the video website. Do you know why?"
"Mr. Lu, you want to stock up on overseas film sources."
"Yongqiang is right, you are indeed a smart person!"
Lu Fei gave a thumbs up and praised. Nowadays, due to anti-piracy, the price of genuine copyrights has gone up. But it is still limited to the three places across the Taiwan Strait. Overseas copyrights in Europe, America, Japan and South Korea are just like the fish that have slipped through the "de-piracy" movement, and they are worth stealing.
A handful.
Gong Yu's heart was pounding, and the voice of persuading him to surrender kept coming to his ears: "If you change sides and surrender, and surrender with courtesy, you still won't lose your title of feudal lord." The key is not to go to Penguin to attack Gu Yongqiang, but to fly to Fei.
When shopping online, PPS is obviously in your pocket.
The predecessor of "iQiyi" lacked a helmsman.
Lu Fei showed a ntr smile and said, "Don't rush to give me an answer. It won't be too late even if you wait for me to come back from the United States."
"I, I... thank you, Mr. Lu, for your appreciation."
Gong Yu hesitated, two suns suddenly appeared in his heart, the new one was obviously more dazzling, bigger and more brilliant.
…………
On May 25, under the witness of Optoelectronics, Penguin mobilized more than 60 film and television industry copyright holders such as Huayi Brothers, Hantang Culture, 41 advertising companies under the domestic 4A advertising alliance, as well as CR Nielsen, iResearch, DCCI and other
Three-party research companies and legal experts jointly established an anti-piracy alliance.
In addition to Sohu, there are also leading video websites such as Tudou, Xunlei, and PPS controlled by Lu Fei, as well as PPTV, which is owned by Baidu, and Ku6 Network, which is controlled by Shanda.
The “Video Content Cooperation Alliance” was formed.
Under heavy attack, the video website suddenly restrained itself.
At this sensitive stage, policy may intervene at any time, and websites no longer actively upload pirated copies. Instead, they have turned around and even changed their minds.
"Penguin Video and Tudou held a joint press conference, announcing that they would delete non-copyrighted European and American film and television content and promote 'comprehensive genuineness' of website content. CEO Koo Yongqiang threatened to spend 300 million to launch an anti-piracy alliance and genuine content in the video industry
Purchase peak.”
"PPS plans to invest 50 million, and the prodigal son will turn back and return to the original track..."
"Enough is enough!"
Zhang Chaoyang picked up the whole bottle of whiskey and took a swig: "I just want to hear the good news about Sohu now! Is there any good news?"
Gong Yu took a deep breath: "Of course, Mr. Zhang, have you forgotten? We have won the World Cup online broadcast rights from Penguin. It will be June soon. This is an opportunity for Sohu Video to return to the top three."
"good!"
Zhang Chaoyang opened his eyes wide and said excitedly: "This is indeed good news, hahaha, it is indeed good news, wait, wait.
Penguin, what's going on with Tudou? I know this bastard Lu Fei very well, he will never tolerate Sohu taking away this broadcasting right."
Gong Yu said: "There is no big move. If there is, it is just a TV series called "Soldier Assault"."
"How are your grades?!" Zhang Chaoyang asked nervously, "Are they as high as "Wulin Gaiden"?"
"That's a far cry. The number of online broadcasts is only a few hundred thousand, and the ratings are even worse. Even on Tomato Star Channel, it's less than 2%."
Gong Yu's mood was complicated, sometimes he was happy and sometimes he was depressed.
"It is said that film purchasers are under great pressure. The TV series they bought at a high price ended up with such low ratings. They were still on a business trip, and they received a call from their work unit to prepare for the handover of the work. They were demoted and transferred to other posts. There were also film purchase directors from several channels.
He rushed to the Han and Tang Dynasties and confronted Gao Yuanyuan, saying that he had been harmed by her.
Of course, these are all hearsay, hearsay, but the sign of 'Produced by the Han and Tang Dynasties must be high-quality' has been smashed."
"Hahaha, Lu Fei, you have today too!"
Zhang Chaoyang cried with joy, and tears flowed out of his eyes. God, the earth, finally breathed out a breath of evil.
He didn't bother wiping his tears and said anxiously: "Open "Soldier Assault" for me and let me see how bad it is. Hahaha, even the Han, Tang and Penguins couldn't be saved!"
Looking at him gloating about his misfortune, Gong Yu sighed, Lu Fei's words kept popping up in his mind -
He looks not like his master, but like withered bones in a grave.
Zhang Chaoyang didn't notice at all. He was focused on the "Soldier Assault" playing on the computer. He caught up with the latest two episodes in one go, and the smile on his face never stopped:
"No wonder there are no ratings! Hahaha, there are no beauties, no love, no stars, just a story about a 'turtle son' who becomes a soldier. He deserves the damn ratings! He deserves it!"
"Mr. Zhang, we can't take it lightly, just in case..."
"Nothing goes wrong. It's not like I don't understand TV dramas. If the ratings of this kind of TV series can exceed 3, I will eat this monitor on the spot! Haha, it's a pity that this is absolutely impossible!"
However, it's just as you say.
Although the ratings of the first few episodes were still mediocre, as one episode continued, the ratings slowly climbed to 2.04%. Until the episode where Wang Baoqiang did horizontal bar, which happened to be the first day of the World Cup, it was so popular for so many episodes.
"Xu Sanduo" suddenly broke out.
In an instant, the Tieba position was the first to fall.
"Don't abandon, don't give up", "live well", "do meaningful things", these simple but inspirational principles, through the transformation of Xu Sanduo, a silly "turtle son", more and more people are touched.
More and more bar friends are moved.
【Each of us has many shadows in us!】
[Chinese-style Forrest Gump]
[TV version of The Shawshank Redemption!]
[After watching this drama, the standards for choosing a spouse have been raised again]
【……】
As the ratings become popular and keep rising, the favorite topic for online female fans to discuss is "Who do you most want to marry in the show?" while male fans naturally want to be a soldier. They either regret not being a soldier or they are eager to become a soldier.
.
"Soldier Assault" completely ignited the enthusiasm for joining the army and military wives, and also ignited the ratings frenzy. In just a week and a half. And under the "blow" of the World Cup, the ratings stabilized at a high 5%, like a runaway horse.
Dark horse, running wildly.
At this time, the entire drama has been premiered and rebroadcast on 18 TV stations across the country, and some local stations have even scheduled the show for the summer vacation in August and September.
Ludong Channel rebroadcasts in the morning and afternoon, Yanjing Channel broadcasts at a rate of 3 episodes a day to catch up with the first echelon, and rebroadcasts at a rate of 3 episodes a day the next day. As for the star-rated Tomato Channel——
Not only will the director of film purchasing not be assigned, he may also have to be promoted!
Because it was so crazy, it was premiered simultaneously on Penguin, Tudou, and PPS, and even if it was split among the three companies, the number of views of the video reached the 10 million mark in a record-breaking manner.
Moreover, during the World Cup, whenever "Soldier Assault" is broadcast during the time period, whether it is a rebroadcast or a premiere, the same time slot is simply invincible, not even for the World Cup!
Not to mention, Sohu’s World Cup online broadcast
"Gulu gulu gulu~"
Zhang Chaoyang drank beer to each other and lay down drunkenly on the sofa of the KTV. The table next to him and the floor were littered with cans, making it a mess.
The women from last night have disappeared.
"Mr. Zhang, wake up, wake up."
Gong Yu turned off the noisy VCD player.
"Well, let's continue playing music and dancing."
As soon as the music stopped, Zhang Chaoyang woke up immediately: "Hey, why are you here? Is it time to go hiking?"
"Mr. Zhang, I don't think you should go hiking."
Gong Yu hates that iron cannot become steel. The most important thing for you now is to stand up. "Now is the critical period for Sohu Video. Although it is not as good as "Soldier Assault", we still achieved expectations and returned to the top three.
The top priority is to crack down on those p2p websites that pirate the World Cup!"
"I leave these things to you."
Zhang Chaoyang waved his hands feebly, "I have a lot to do, so I want to focus all my energy on climbing the mountain."
"Mr. Zhang!"
Gong Yu said angrily: "Sure enough, what Yongqiang said is right. You have changed. You have become careless about your job and greedy for pleasure."
"Be presumptuous, are you teaching me how to do things?"
Zhang Chaoyang glared: "I only sleep four hours a day for so many years, can't I enjoy it?"
"But Mr. Zhang, you have enjoyed it for long enough. It's time to work hard."
"effort?"
"Mr. Zhang, we have been greatly widened by New Wolf and Wangyi. If you don't work hard and lead us and Sohu to move forward, the gap will only get bigger and bigger!"
"Haha, this world is unfair. Even if you work hard, you may not be able to do it. Otherwise, why have I tried so many times but failed to lose to the goddamn Lu Fei time and time again? Do you know what you mean to me?
How much physical and mental damage did it cause?”
"I really didn't expect that Lu Fei would hit you so hard. But no matter what, you still have to work hard."
"Haha, I don't want to work hard anymore. I'm already so successful and the money I earn is enough for me to spend the rest of my life comfortably. Why do I have to work hard?"
"You like this kind of life, I can't stand it."
"If you can't stay any longer, get out!"
Zhang Chaoyang was so angry that he threw the empty beer can out. If he had stepped into the garbage area with one foot before, he was lying down in it now.
"Bang."
Gong Yu looked at the beer can that fell at his feet, and his heart suddenly became cold. The sun that symbolized Zhang Chaoyang fell with it, leaving only a bright red sun hanging high. He was Mr. Lu.
For half of his life, Yu Piaoling only regrets that he has never met his master!
Thanks for the big 1888 starting coins for going to Antarctica to pick up penguins.
