President Xu Sheng is in a pretty good mood these days.
With the back-and-forth exchanges during this period, my own version of "The Legend of Immortal Killer" has become a bit more popular than Kiwi's "Underworld".
This is indeed a rare piece of good news for Xu Sheng.
After all, the publicity effect of "The Legend of Immortal Killer" was not satisfactory due to the two audio variety shows.
Nowadays, the popularity of the two variety shows has declined, and after the second week's episode update, everything is developing in a good direction.
"Mr. Xu, there is news from the official side."
"The online broadcast rights of "Soldier Assault" we talked about before have been obtained."
When Xu Sheng heard his assistant reporting the news, he finally raised his head.
"Simulcast rights?"
"Who else but us?"
The assistant answered truthfully:
"Both Kiwi Video and Potato Video have obtained the copyright."
"There is also g station."
Before this, Xu Sheng actually knew some news.
For example, Chi Jiang from Station G seems to have gone to the capital specifically to discuss the exclusive rights to the new drama directed by Xu Ji.
But the official side did not agree.
The three major websites also sent people there.
In the end, as Xu Sheng predicted, the official treated it fairly and directly sold the copyright to all websites.
"If you have simulcast rights..."
Xu Sheng hesitated for a while and finally said:
"We won't invest money in publicity here."
"Just follow the procedures of some previous official dramas."
The assistant nodded and recorded it.
It’s not because I don’t like Xu Ji, it’s just because the online copyright of this drama is available on several websites.
If it is an exclusive broadcasting right, Penguin will definitely not let go of such an opportunity. Xu Ji's new drama will definitely be promoted as much as possible.
But this is not necessary for simulcast rights.
Xu Sheng decided to spend some of Penguin's resources on "The Legend of Immortal Killer".
......
"Mr. Hu, I still suggest investing some resources in the promotion of "Soldier Assault""
Kiwi Fruit also received official news.
At this time, Congzhu was persuading him earnestly.
President Hu Lei is resolute.
"From the vice president, I know how much you value Xu Ji."
"But this drama is not broadcast exclusively on our platform, and at this time, we are at a disadvantage in the publicity war with Penguin."
After Congzhu heard what the other party said, he paused and finally gave up.
"I understand, Mr. Hu."
Although Congzhu has only watched the first few episodes of "Soldier Assault", he can already feel that this drama is very different from some previous official themes or military dramas.
In addition, this is the first drama directed by Xu Ji himself after Sword and Sword II.
Therefore, I want Kiwi to devote certain publicity resources to publicity.
It's just such a strategic decision that Congzhu alone can't make the decision.
Only CEO Hu Lei can make the decision.
Obviously Hu Lei does not agree with Congzhu's idea.
Even if this drama is excellent, it is just a syndicated drama.
It’s not worth the resources Kiwi invests in publicity.
Congzhu also knew that what the other party said actually made sense.
But for some reason, Congzhu still feels that Kiwi has given up an excellent opportunity this time.
This may be a rare opportunity to cooperate with Xu Ji.
After all, except for such an officially produced drama, there is no way to obtain the copyright for Xu Ji’s own drama, Qi Guo.
......
Penguin and Kiwi have surprisingly consistent attitudes towards the show "Soldier Assault". Even Tudou Video doesn't actually plan to invest too much promotional resources in this show.
The only difference is the G station.
Even if it's a simulcast right, if it's Xu Ji's drama, Chi Jiang's priority is definitely the highest.
So this time G Station plans to invest all its promotional resources during the Spring Festival into "Soldier Assault".
Of course, part of the reason is that there are not many new dramas on station G.
After g station cooperated with Tongji Entertainment, it was already determined that it would take the high-quality route.
Therefore, compared with the three major websites, there is a huge difference in the number of new dramas launched.
However, having more dramas does not necessarily mean it is an advantage. If the dramas are not popular, it is of no use.
There are a lot of new dramas such as Kiwi and Penguin that have been launched during this period, but in fact, only "The Legend of the Immortal" and "Underworld" have the largest audiences.

Station G has also allocated all its resources to "The Silent Truth". Although it is not as popular as those two big-invested dramas, it can still beat other low-cost dramas in all aspects of data. ......
In Chengdu, Tongji Entertainment is not as busy as before.
Because the Spring Festival is approaching, we are about to enter the nearly one-month Spring Festival holiday.
That's right, among so many companies in the entertainment industry, many of whom have to work overtime even during the New Year, Tongji Entertainment is like a freak.
Not only did he not work overtime, but he also took leave early.
At the same time, the holiday is unexpectedly long.
During this period, all aspects of Tongji Entertainment’s business have been suspended.
In fact, this still has an impact on some of the company's artists.
But I don’t know if everyone has gradually gotten used to it, but no one has any objections to it.
Ji Yiyang and others are looking forward to the holiday early.
Otherwise, every time there is an invitation to a variety show or something in the company, the first thing Youman thinks of is him.
......
"Have everything been packed?"
Xu Ji asked where Xu Ji and Sha Yetong lived.
At this time, Sha Yetong was a little hurriedly counting the things he planned to take back.
Especially the gifts for Xu Ji’s parents.
In fact, it’s not like Sha Yetong didn’t buy gifts for Xu Ji’s parents when she went there.
But this time it is obviously different. After all, the relationship between the two has changed from childhood to a couple.
"Oops! Don't rush me."
Xu Ji couldn't help but remind:
"Actually, I feel like my parents may not be able to use these things like yours."
Sha Yetong retorted: "How could it not be used?"
"You don't know that Aunt Tang and Uncle Xu will definitely like the gift I chose!"
Sha Yetong felt that she knew Xu Ji's parents better than Xu Ji, his own son.
Xu Ji did not comment on this.
But although I have been doing psychological construction for a long time.
But thinking about going back to show off his cards to Teacher Chen this time, Xu Ji felt a little guilty.
After all, when she was young, Chen Ya had warned Xu Ji more than once, feeling that Xu Ji had led Sha Yetong into trouble.
Xu Ji and Sha Yetong were also asked to keep a distance several times.
Although they didn’t say much again after Xu Ji and Sha Yetong went to high school.
But Xu Ji was often forcibly dragged to his home by Chen Ya to help with tutoring.
At that time, Xu Ji, who had average grades, was able to get along well with all the high school teachers, with the only exception being Chen Ya, who lived next door to his home.
......
"How about you drive it?"
After the two of them packed up their things, Xu Ji took the initiative to look at Sha Yetong when they got in the car.
Sha Yetong only recently got her driver's license accompanied by Xu Ji.
When I heard this, I felt a little bit ready to move.
But after thinking about it for a while, he still shook his head.
"Forget it, Xiao Xuzi, you can drive."
Thinking of the complicated road back to his hometown, Xu Ji got into the driver's seat by himself.
As the car left the urban area of Rongcheng, the bustling street scenes began to gradually disappear, turning into patches of slightly desolate farmland.
However, because the Spring Festival is approaching, the whole journey is full of festive atmosphere.
Entering the county town of Yicheng, the hometown of the two, compared to Rongcheng, people feel that the atmosphere of the Spring Festival is stronger.
There are many stalls selling fireworks and firecrackers on the familiar streets.
Some small shops selling New Year goods are also busy with people coming and going, and the business is very good.
Because the Chinese New Year is about to come, many young people who have gone out have come back.
Compared with Yicheng on weekdays, the flow of people is much higher.
It actually reminded Xu Ji of this place when he was a child.
At that time, Yicheng was rich in coal resources and had a relatively large residential population among nearby counties.
Even if it is not the Chinese New Year, some other festivals will be very lively.
However, with the decline of the coal industry, there has been a serious outflow of residents in Yicheng.
Especially many young people are unwilling to come back.
On the contrary, some people from the older generation have lived here all their lives and can no longer live without it.
The only thing that has changed for the better may be that the greening here is much better than before when coal was mined intensively.
Xu Ji also recalled the wave of layoffs in Yicheng, and Xu Ji's father, Xu Jiakang, was one of them.
Although he had just entered high school at the time, Xu Ji was deeply impressed by that period.
Xu Jiakang, who originally had a good temper, lost his temper very easily during that period.
On the contrary, Xu Ji's mother, Tang Xianshu, spoke softly.
At that time, Xu Ji didn’t understand why.
Now that I think about it, it is not unreasonable for my parents to have been together since they were twenty years old and still have such a good relationship.
.......
"Xiao Xuzi, what are you thinking about?"
When they were almost home, Sha Yetong saw Xu Ji who was in a daze and asked.
Xu Ji came back to his senses and replied with a smile:
"I'm thinking that if we retire in two days, we might as well go back to Yicheng."
Sha Yetong couldn't help laughing and said:
"You are only in your twenties, why are you thinking about retirement?"
Xu Ji smiled and said nothing.
Although Sha Yetong didn't answer, Xu Ji knew from the other party's happy expression that he was familiar with the street scene that they were both the same.
"Live like this for thirty years until the building collapses~"
......
Xu Ji suddenly hummed a song. Sha Yetong was stunned for a moment, but didn't say much.
Apparently he was used to it, as Xu Ji would sing a song he had never heard before from time to time.
Not long after, the car arrived at the gate of the community where Xu Ji and Sha Yetong had lived for more than ten years.
Although the community is old, the facilities in all aspects are still relatively complete.
Compared with how Xu and Ji were when they went to college, not much has changed.
There are still a few elderly people sitting at the gate of the community.
After seeing Xu Ji's car coming in, they all cast curious glances.
The neighbors in the community are all acquaintances, so the sudden appearance of such a strange car will naturally attract people's attention.
But when Xu Ji and Sha Yetong got out of the car, their vigilant eyes changed.
"Xiaoji and Tongtong are back?"
Although Xu Ji and Sha Yetong have become stars now.
But the neighbors who watched the two of them grow up did not feel raw or restrained here.
Greet you very warmly.
Xu Ji and Sha Yetong naturally responded enthusiastically.
Even if your grades are not good, you can easily get into trouble.
But Xu Ji has been quite popular among his neighbors since childhood.
First of all, it’s naturally because Xu Ji was good-looking when he was a child.
Secondly, it’s because Xu Ji’s mother, Tang Xianshu, is usually better at dealing with people and sophistication.
Xu Jijia’s reputation is still very good.
Xu Ji and Sha Yetong carried their things upstairs.
After thinking about it, I knocked on Sha Yetong’s door first.
Surprisingly, after knocking on the door for a while, there was no response.
"My parents should be at home this weekend, right?"
Sha Yetong said a little strangely.
Before the two of them could react, the door of Xu Ji's house next door opened first.
The person who opened the door was not Xu Ji’s parents, but Chen Ya.
"Mom?"
Sha Yetong has a weird expression.
Chen Ya was obviously a little surprised when she saw the two of them.
Because Xu Ji and Sha Yetong didn’t tell them in advance when they came back.
"Xiaoya, who is knocking on the door?"
At this time, the voice of Xu Ji’s mother Tang Xianshu came again from Xu Ji’s home.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
Then Xu Jicai suddenly discovered that Sha Yetong's mother Chen Ya was actually at his home.
And looking at it like this, the two families are actually preparing to have dinner together.
No wonder Xu Ji and Sha Yetong were surprised.
Although they have been neighbors for more than 20 years, Chen Ya and Tang Xianshu have not dealt with each other very well for so many years.
Why did the relationship suddenly become so good?
"You brat, you didn't even know how to say anything when you came back!"
Tang Xianshu, who came out and saw Xu Ji, cursed.
Xu Ji and Sha Yetong entered the house together and found that Sha Jingyuan and Xu Jiakang had not returned yet.
Tang Xianshu and Chen Ya were cooking together.
What surprised Sha Yetong even more was that judging from the two half-knitted sweaters on the sofa.
My mother just learned to knit sweaters from Aunt Tang?
Xu Ji and Sha Yetong looked at each other, obviously seeing the incredible look in each other's eyes.
"Tongtong, please sit down for a while. The meal will be ready soon."
Tang Xianshu's voice came from the kitchen.
Judging from Chen Ya who was helping skillfully on the side, this was certainly not the first time the two of them had cooked together.
......
In fact, since the last time Tang Xianshu took the initiative to give Chen Ya advice to ease the relationship between mother and daughter, the original prejudice between the two people quickly disappeared.
In addition, the relationship between Xu Ji and Sha Yetong has actually been settled by both families for a long time.
It is natural for the relationship to gradually improve.
Chen Ya, who originally thought that she and Tang Xianshu would not have anything in common, realized that she was wrong.
Instead, he slowly followed Tang Xianshu and learned things that he didn't like before.
For example, knitting sweaters, or shamelessly going to the market and having a heated exchange with others for a dollar or two.
Even Sha Yetong discovered at this time that his mother Chen Ya had changed a lot compared to before.
......
"Old Xu, I really can't live this life anymore!"
"Why do you think the two of them suddenly had such a good relationship?"
At this time, I happened to meet Sha Jingyuan who was going home with me after get off work and was complaining to Xu Jiakang.
"I don't know either."
Xu Jiakang spread his hands helplessly.
Sha Jingyuan continued:
"You don't know, now I have to report if I want to go out and have a drink with my colleagues."
"My wages have all been handed over, there is no human rights at all!"
Sha Jingyuan is obviously very dissatisfied with his current treatment.
But Xu Jiakang is very calm.
"You don't know, I've been living like this for almost thirty years."
"Just get used to it."
Obviously, Chen Ya obviously learned this "management system" from Tang Xianshu.
"But how did you do it, Lao Xu?"
"Why can you still afford to treat me to dinner and drinks?"
Sha Jingyuan was talking about how Xu Jiakang treated him to two drinks not long ago.
After Xu Jiakang heard this, he showed a rather proud expression on his face.
"You don't know that."
"The matter of hiding private money is also a matter of knowledge."
"I'll tell you..."
......
"We're back!"
Sha Jingyuan, who has learned Xu Jiakang's unique skills, seems to be in a good mood.
Xu Ji and Sha Yetong seemed a little surprised when they came back.
"Why did you two come back so early this year?"
Their parents actually felt that Xu Ji and Sha Yetong would not be able to come back until the Chinese New Year.
There are almost a week left before the Chinese New Year.
In this way, as soon as Xu Ji and Sha Yetong came back, the two families had a rare dinner together.
When the two families had dinner together during the Chinese New Year last year, the atmosphere this time was obviously much more harmonious.
Although I still ask questions as before.
But after all, Xu Ji and Sha Yetong have grown up, and some of the previous lectures have also disappeared.
Of course, nagging about taking care of your body still exists.
......
In the following time, Xu Ji and Sha Yetong lived a real holiday life.
Although they were not too busy in Chengdu some time ago, Xu Ji and Sha Yetong still have some work to do.
After coming back, the two of them no longer had to worry about other things, and began the familiar life of lying in bed during the college vacation.
"Xiao Xuzi, when will we tell them?"
Sha Yetong asked.
Naturally, it means telling both parents about their relationship.
Xu Ji actually wanted to have a showdown when he came back that night.
But in the end, I still couldn’t speak.
"Anyway, I'm going to stay until after the Spring Festival. Let's talk about it then."
Xu Ji opened his mouth and answered.
In fact, he has already made plans and will wait until it is time to return to Chengdu.
By then, even if Chen Ya wanted to settle a score with him, she could just run away with Sha Yetong.
Although the relationship between the two families is now much better than before, Xu Ji still feels unsure about this matter.
The main reason is because when you see Chen Yaxu Ji, you will feel guilty unconsciously.
This has been the case since childhood. Although I have grown up now and am relatively successful in my career, it still hasn't changed much.
......
"Eat a banquet?"
Early in the morning, Xu Ji, who was sleeping soundly in bed, was woken up by Tang Xianshu.
Xu Ji seemed a little surprised when he heard Tang Xianshu's words.
"Your cousin got married, and I originally asked for leave, but something suddenly happened at my workplace, so I had to let you go."
Tang Xianshu said.
Xu Ji’s cousin mentioned by Tang Xianshu is the son of Xu Ji’s uncle.
However, because Xu Ji grew up in Yicheng since he was a child, he is not very familiar with these relatives.
Xu Ji's grandparents passed away relatively early. After elementary school, apart from going to worship once a year, they didn't go back very often.
This time Xu Ji's cousin got married and Xu Ji came back, so Tang Xianshu naturally handed over this task to Xu Ji.
"By the way, if you feel bored by yourself, you can ask Tongtong to go with you."
Tang Xianshu now regarded Sha Yetong as her daughter-in-law.
For such an occasion, I think it is quite reasonable for Sha Yetong to go along.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
Xu Ji is actually not that nervous even if he is performing on a stage like the Spring Festival Gala.
Xu Ji liked eating at a banquet when he was a child, but later he resisted because he found it troublesome.
"That's it, you should know where your uncle's home is, right?"
Tang Xianshu obviously didn't give Xu Ji an excuse to refuse. After saying that, she hurried out to work.
He left a dull look on his face.
......
In the car, Sha Yetong, who was sitting in the passenger seat, asked strangely:
"Your cousin is getting married, why should I go with him?"
Xu Ji looked helpless.
"My mother asked me to call you together."
"I don't know either."
After hearing that it was Tang Xianshu's arrangement, Sha Yetong had nothing to say.
After driving for more than an hour, the car entered a rural dirt road.
Then Xu Ji started to feel a little confused.
Although he had been here before, it was a few years ago. After he went to college, he didn't come with his parents to pay homage to his grandparents.
At this moment, I suddenly realized that things have changed a lot here.
Xu Ji felt an inexplicable strangeness.
"Xiao Xuzi, why do I feel like we have been on this road before?"
Sha Yetong raised her question in a timely manner.
......
In the end, Xu Ji found the place through positioning after asking his cousin.
It is still very lively to hold wedding banquets in rural areas.
Almost everyone from the village came.
Xu Ji and Sha Yetong finally found the place to receive the gift money in a crowded situation.
Then I met my cousin, uncle and other relatives.
There are also quite a few relatives, but Xu Ji doesn’t even know them anymore.
When the other party greets you, you can only respond with a blank smile.
After all, Xu Ji and Sha Yetong are relatively well-known.
Soon some people at the wedding banquet recognized him.
Although Xu Ji and Sha Yetong are used to being photographed, they still feel a little embarrassed in such an occasion.
One of Xu Ji's distant relatives even took a mobile phone and recorded a video of Xu Ji.
"This is the great and brightest trace of our Xu family."
"And Sha Yetong is here too."
The relative spoke Mandarin with a local accent.
Xu Ji and Sha Yetong, on the other hand, sat on the flowing water mat slightly embarrassed.
Xu Ji himself did not expect before coming that this ordinary dinner would turn into a social death scene for himself and Sha Yetong.
Fortunately, most of the villagers were just joining in the fun.
Many people actually don’t know them.
I only know that the Xu family has a star.
So there are no fans of the two.
Xu Ji just wants to end it quickly and escape from here.
