Before the ending song had finished playing, Cheng Yajie quickly took Li Yi's cell phone from the coffee table, tuned it to the second episode, and still put it on the TV screen.
The crew sold the exclusive broadcast rights to Penguin Video, so the first episode is naturally free to attract more viewers to watch.
Starting from the second episode, only members can watch it. Then as time goes by and the number of broadcast episodes increases, the number of previous member episodes will be gradually adjusted to be watchable by non-members.
In short, if you want to continue watching and watch simultaneously, you must top up and become a member.
This is a common profit route for video websites, especially a high-quality TV series, which often brings huge traffic and new members to the website.
Li Yi has cooperated with Penguin Video before. When he filmed Legend of Sword and Fairy, the exclusive online broadcast rights were sold to Penguin. At that time, it brought them very substantial profits, and they also grabbed a lot from other video websites.
Users come here!
In order to thank Li Yi and to have closer cooperation with Li Yi in the future, Penguin Group gave him permanent VIP qualifications for all Penguin products.
For Li Yi, he naturally doesn't need the money to replenish his membership, but this is convenient.
On the TV screen, just as it jumped to the second episode, along with the opening song, there was another dense barrage:
"This drama is unexpectedly good. I decided to recharge my membership and watch the first few episodes no matter what!"
"It has to be good-looking! After all, this is a TV series that Brother Yi is starring in. If it is produced by Brother Yi, it must be a high-quality product!"
"As a person who is quite stingy and has always watched free resources and is proud of it, this is the first time I have signed up for a video website as a member. Just so that I can continue watching and see how good Zhao Dehan is by Li Yiyan.
If it is bad, what will happen next?”
"Hahahahaha, me too!"
"I originally signed up as a member just to watch Brother Yi's Fairy Sword. It's almost expired now. I didn't plan to sign up again, but in order to follow this show, I decisively signed up for another year!"
"It's nothing to recharge for one year. When I heard that Brother Yi had reached an agreement with Penguin and they would cooperate for a long time in the future, I recharged thousands of credits in one breath. My membership has been queued for more than 20 years! I'm not like this.
What are you promoting for Penguin? Instead, you are using practical actions to support my favorite artist!"
"Yes, yes! The membership of Penguin Video is definitely worth recharging! Haven't you noticed that those movies of Brother Yi, not long after they were released in theaters, can finally be watched on Penguin Video for free or with paid membership? For those who missed it?
It is definitely a good thing to see during the release period and for audiences and fans who want to revisit Yi Ge’s movies!"
"Here you go! I usually use iQiyi, and I really haven't paid attention to these. I won't say anything else, I'll top up more money, and I will always use Penguin Video from now on!"
"..."
Because of the unprecedented number of real-time online viewers, the number of barrages is dazzling. It is definitely a nightmare for patients with trypophobia!
However, despite the large number, two messages can still be discerned from everyone's comments.
The first point is that there are naturally many people who spend money to become members of Penguin Video just to follow this drama. The backstage data must be extremely touching at the moment. The staff responsible for purchasing this drama must have all their bonuses this month.
The one with the most departments.
The second point is that everyone's discussions about the plot are all focused on Li Yi's story line. Everyone can't wait to see the result of the contest between Zhao Dehan and Hou Liangping. As for Gong Yizhen's story line, they are all concerned about it.
Selectively ignored!
Soon, the opening song finished playing and the main film started, and the number of barrages was instantly reduced by more than half, which finally did not affect the viewing experience.
At the beginning of the second episode, Hou Liangping and his team were still rummaging through Zhao Dehan's office, emptying boxes and cabinets and searching one by one. Zhao Dehan, played by Li Yi, walked back and forth in the office with an unhappy look on his face.
Then, seeing that he couldn't bear the injustice and grievance of being searched, he slapped his desk, scattered the documents on the floor, pointed at Hou Liangping and shouted excitedly:
"If you can't find any stolen money today, if you listen to the rumors and make a mistake, I tell you, I can't spare any of you! I will hire the best lawyer to sue you! I will ask you to compensate me.
Loss of reputation.”
After he finished speaking, he saw Hou Liangping still in a daze with his arms folded, and shouted "Ah" again.
Facing Zhao Dehan's anger, Hou Liangping still confidently insisted that he had never failed.
The audience, who had already believed that Zhao Dehan, played by Li Yi, was wronged, were even more indignant at this moment. The barrage was filled with accusations:
"Wow! Brother Yi is going crazy!"
"Don't you think this Hou Liangping has gone too far? After searching for so long, both at home and in the office, no evidence was found. He still kept showing off, always looking at others with suspicion and distrust.
.Anyone would be outraged by this kind of thing!"
"Yes, even if this incident is proved to be wronged by Brother Yi, it will definitely have a certain negative impact on his future career!"
"Zhao Dehan, played by Brother Yi, looks like an honest man at first glance. He is innocent no matter how you look at him. To be able to force an honest man to do this shows how aggrieved he feels inside!"
"Why do I feel that Hou Liangping, played by Lu Yi, is the bad guy! Even if he is not, he must have been used as a gun. Someone must be behind it, trying to frame Zhao Dehan, played by Brother Yi."
"Yes, yes, I think so too! I guess the further development of the plot will be that after investigation, Lu Yi discovered that Brother Yi was indeed innocent and someone was framing him, so the two of them joined forces to find out who was behind the scenes!
"
...
As everyone discussed, the plot continued to move forward. After another round of verbal battles between Li Yi and Lu Yi, Lu Yi showed the third search warrant and said that Li Yi must be familiar with this place.
After seeing the address on the document clearly, Li Yi's eyes and face suddenly changed subtly!
"Hou Liangping is really good at this. I thought he was acting in a stage play. He has to change scenes again. He can't be tired after going back and forth all night!"
"Have you noticed that when Lu Yi took out this search warrant, Brother Yi's eyes changed obviously? Could it be..."
"I've also discovered it. But from this point of view, it doesn't mean much. But there will definitely be a reversal in the follow-up. I guess it's the most critical moment. There must be some evidence in the next place to go. Let's start with
Brother Yi turned black, then turned around again and slapped Lu Yi in the face!"
"Lu Yi said that Brother Yi has been acting all night, pretending to be innocent. I don't believe it. I think he must be innocent. After all, how can someone pretend to be a good person to this extent. But I really agree with what he said.
His acting skills are quite good!"
"Hahahaha! Indeed! Brother Yi's acting skills are really good, and Lu Yi used his lines to express everyone's feelings!"
"..."
When the camera switched from several other story lines to Li Yi's side again, Li Yi had already taken a car and arrived at a villa area with Lu Yi and his group.
As soon as the car stopped and the door opened, Li Yi looked at the villa in front of him with a look of fear on his face. His whole body seemed to have been drained of all its strength. His feet were weak and he almost fell off the car as he staggered.
Fortunately, someone next to him had quick eyesight and quick hands to support him, and then someone on the other side stretched out his hand, one to the left and one to the right, holding him while he was floating, as if he was holding the wandering ghost's black and white impermanence, completely dragging him forward!
"Hey, let him go by himself!" Lu Yi looked back, walked over, and said.
"Why are you walking? I can't even stand!" said a staff member.
Then, the camera showed a close-up of Li Yi's face, and he was pale, distracted, and in a state of chaos. He was completely different from the person he was not long ago!
Seeing this scene, all the audience looked shocked, and the barrage was even more uproar!!!
"I'll go! What's going on! Why are Brother Yi's feet so soft!"
"Yes, Zhao Dehan played by Brother Yi should be innocent. Why is he so scared that he can't even stand still!"
"Is it true that Hou Liangping didn't blame Zhao Dehan? The person played by Brother Yi is really a bad guy? But it shouldn't be. Brother Yi's performance in the past didn't look like he was pretending, but now he looks like this.
Getting up is completely a subconscious and normal reaction. I can’t figure it out!”
"The contrast between the front and back is so great. They are really two different people! Why did it become like this when we got to this place?"
"This is the first time for me to truly feel what it means to have numb feet and a pale face. Brother Yi has really brought these two idioms to life!"
"Everyone, don't worry, calm down! Keep reading, I still believe that Brother Yi is innocent!"
"No matter what the situation is, I just want to say that Yi Ge's acting skills are really awesome! Just using simple body movements and dull expressions, he can instantly bring the character's inner shock to life, making people feel
It’s an immersive feeling!”
At this point in the plot, there was a twist, which made the audience, who had always believed in Li Yi's innocence, momentarily waver.
However, there are still many viewers who, based on Li Yi's previous performance, still believe that his image in the drama is positive, and even more viewers are in a state of doubt that they dare not confirm.
But no matter what, the wonderful plot and Li Yi's superb acting skills have firmly captured the hearts of all viewers, making Taijia reluctant to take his eyes away again, and must see everything come to light!
"Why does an old actor still have stage fright? It's your turn. I told you, the finale is a luxurious one!" In the play, Lu Yi stretched out his hand to help Li Yi and said.
Li Yi opened his mouth slightly and turned around to look at the villa nearby. He was obviously panicked, but still managed to stay calm. His voice trembled slightly, with a hint of crying, and he asked: "Where is this? Take me here.
For what?"
"Isn't this your house?" Lu Yi sneered.
"What is my house! How could I have such a house! The house here is so expensive, I honestly can't even think about it!" Li Yi frowned and shouted eagerly.
"Yes! You don't dare to think, but you dare to do it! You are a doer!" A staff member interjected.
"Let's show the doers a video!" Lu Yi then said.
Immediately afterwards, a person took a mobile phone and recorded a video in front of Li Yi.
The video was obviously shot secretly near the house, recording the whole process of him secretly riding over in the middle of the night, opening the door of the villa with a key and walking in.
"No, what does this mean?" Li Yi was still trying to explain for himself, and said
"This is my friend's house, I'm renting it!"
It's just that the manner and tone of his words were clearly out of order and somewhat hysterical.
Lu Yi showed a key and said he would take him in to visit the mansion.
At this point in the plot, everything seems to be self-evident!
At this time, the camera once again cut to other plot lines, but this time, no one had the patience to watch it slowly, and they all chose to fast forward!
Li Yi's story line is so exciting, coupled with his superb acting skills, that the audience doesn't want to know or care what happens in other plot lines.
Jump directly to Li Yi’s next plot!
Lu Yi and others had already entered the villa. The staff were running around inside, launching a new round of searches, while Li Yi was squatting on the ground, folding his arms, as if he was in mourning!
Lu Yi walked over and said a few words to him. Even now, Li Yi still insisted that this house was not his. Even though his expression and tone seemed so unconfident, he still held on!
Then, a staff member came over and gave Lu Yi a look, and he immediately asked someone to drag Li Yi to the kitchen.
Lu Yi suddenly opened the door of the refrigerator in front of Li Yi, only to see that it was filled with money. Even the moment he opened it, several stacks of money fell out!
Instantly, the barrage was filled with exclamations!
Even Cheng Yajie, who was sitting next to Li Yi, couldn't help but cover her mouth and scream. She was obviously shocked by this scene.
In fact, the amount of money is really nothing to them.
Cheng Yajie has a boyfriend like Li Yi, and she can earn more than ten to two billion by just making a movie.
Even for ordinary viewers, it would cost several million to buy a decent house nowadays, and such a large refrigerator is only worth the price of a house.
The reason why it is a bit shocking is that normal people would never imagine that someone would hide money here!
, after all, poverty really limits people's imagination. Who knows how rich people like him play.
"You said the house doesn't belong to you, so the money doesn't belong to you either?" In the play, Lu Yi pointed to the money in the refrigerator, looked at Li Yi, and asked.
"It's not mine!" Although his legs were weak and his voice was trembling, Li Yi still denied it without hesitation.
Then, he became even more furious, shouting with a trembling and stammering voice: "Who is this! This...this...who put so much money in my...our refrigerator!"
"This... who has this intention..."
Before he could finish speaking, Lu Yi shouted loudly, "You admitted that this is your refrigerator!"
Interrupting his words instantly made Li Yiru struck by lightning, leaving him speechless on the spot!
Lu Yi stared and glared at Li Yi, but Li Yi, who noticed the gaffe, looked at him with a look of fear and confusion.
The two looked at each other for several seconds, and Li Yi's psychological defense completely collapsed!
I saw Li Yi's face turn red, his whole face squeezed together, and he burst into tears instantly. While crying, he pointed at the money in the refrigerator and said while crying, "I didn't spend a penny! I dare not."
"Our family has been farmers for generations, and we are so afraid of poverty! We don't dare to touch a penny, it's all here!"
Later, facing Lu Yi's accusation, he cried, kept lowering his head to admit his mistake, and at the same time banged his head against the refrigerator door, crying so hard that he shrank into a ball.
If there wasn't someone dragging him next to him, he would have wanted to be killed on the spot by looking at his mixture of regret and fear!
Immediately afterwards, the camera turned again and cut to other story lines. This time, no one was in a hurry to fast forward, but the entire screen was instantly filled with barrage, and the audience's emotions were completely boiling!!
