Chapter 444 The domestic version of the umbrella company?
The main plot of "Mao Liang" is the most important public case that lasted for decades. After Shaozhuang detoxified the five major companies, this public case came to an end, but the complete main plot of the entire drama is not over yet.
The biggest villain, the fox boss Geng Xiaohui, lost almost all his previous plans after losing the antidote Yong He.
After being completely defeated, he no longer hid behind the scenes and manipulated silently. He finally stepped onto the stage and exposed his fangs...
Boss Fox, the biggest villain in the show, has two branch operations at the end of the show.
The first one is revenge. Back then, he thought that Xing's father had betrayed his own father, so he fled the Xing family and took charge of the fox at the cost of injecting prions, and fell into the abyss.
Over the years, seeking revenge against Xing Dongdong has become his inner demon and obsession.
He had not taken action before because Boss Fox was afraid of ruining his plan to assassinate the four major companies, so he held back. Now that the plan was scrapped, Boss Fox finally had no scruples anymore.
The fox boss caught Xing Dongdong, and after telling the story of his grudges, he locked Xing Dongdong in a wooden box and buried him in the sand.
As the sand continues to seep into the unsealed box, filling the box little by little, Xing Dongdong in the box will also be buried alive and die.
The fox boss also specially installed a live broadcast camera in the box and distributed it to the protagonist group.
It not only allows the protagonist group to watch their good friends slowly die tragically as revenge, but it also draws the attention of the protagonist group, allowing them to run around to save people and have no time to worry about other things and complete another branch operation on their own.
As a tycoon of a generation, the fox boss will not sit back and wait to die just because the antidote Yonghe is gone.
In fact, a few years ago, he funded a pharmacologist to research antidotes for him.
At the same time, Boss Fox has a greater ambition, which is to research and replicate prions, and use prions and K2 to form a huge interest group controlled by him.
The so-called annihilation of the four major companies and the whitewashing of the fox are the basic premise of this plan. This is the real purpose of Boss Fox.
The thirty-seventh episode of "Mao Liar" revealed the above-mentioned plot, which made the audience who were relieved feel worried again.
This is a Chinese version of an umbrella company, and the drama "Mao Liang" feels like it has instantly reached a new level...
In fact, when it comes to the plot level of a drama, it is largely related to the goals of the protagonist or villain.
The plot is set up, the protagonist wants to be the village chief, and the villain is trying to be a bully to steal the protagonist's wife. All the stories revolve around a village or half a town. No matter how written, most of them are trivial rural things.
Another plot setting is that the villain wants to destroy the Three Realms, and the protagonist stops him and destroys all the people in the world and the creatures of the Three Realms at every turn. Many viewers don't realize how serious this is, and they inexplicably praise this drama in their hearts.
Of course, this is only a very one-sided judgment standard, and the details still depend on the plot design.
There are still excellent local dramas, and some movies are just about the change of top leaders in a small village. The tension and depth in them are more powerful than foreign big-production Machiavellian dramas.
It is no exaggeration to say that those characters who are known as the kings of the East and the wisest men in all countries, when they come to the movie, are no different from the idiots who pick up cigarette butts in the village.
It's the same, whether it's the Emperor of Heaven, the Demon Lord, or the number one fairy in the Three Realms/Six Realms/Nine Realms, the script setting is not good, the character structure is mediocre, the same silly sweet Mary Sue, and the beings in the Three Realms are not as important as falling in love.
Therefore, whether the script is rich and solid and whether it can convince the audience are the most important elements.
On this basis, if we further increase the height of the plot, it will be even more powerful...
At the beginning of "Mao Liar", when the main plot has not yet unfolded, the main thing is that the liar cheats, because the person he deceives is a bad person, and he can barely be regarded as a righteous bandit.
At this time, the climax of the plot is about a group of chivalrous liars punishing evil and promoting good. When the main plot unfolds, the climax of the plot becomes good liars dealing with the gray evil forces of the five major companies.
After that, the plot of public cases over the past few decades appeared, and the plot suddenly became historical and legendary. Coupled with the two outstanding characters of Shao Zhuang and Mr. Yang Du, the height was a little higher.
In the end, the fox boss burst out with his true ambition, and expanded the original fox organization, a scam company, into a deeper villain.
The protagonist group fights with him, and the personal grievances have also vaguely risen to the level of righteousness.
In the original version of "Mao Liar", Geng Xiaohui obviously had the idea of making a big fuss about his ambition, but perhaps due to limited funds or the subject being too sensitive, he only mentioned it vaguely in the end.
When Zuo Le was filming, he also had the intention to put more effort into this and create an impressive villain.
But then I thought about the review, but I still didn’t dare to go too far. After all, it was nothing more than Mr. Kaishen’s virus back then. It was an evil old society.
But now that the country is peaceful and the people are safe, we cannot do this, as it will have a bad impact.
Besides, aren’t the idiotic remarks that officials in the United States make about biohazards to the public about conspiracy theories every day are all inspired by those biohazard movies in Hollywood?
Becoming a zombie today, deformed tomorrow, genetic mutation the day after tomorrow, the audience will be scared to death...
Therefore, this kind of subject matter should not be taken lightly. The villain is only trying to stir up his thoughts, but if he fails to realize it, the conspiracy will be destroyed.
No matter how high the standard is, Zuo Le can support "Mao Liang" to pass the review and broadcast, but he may not be able to support Xiaoxiao's report.
Therefore, as soon as the thirty-seventh episode of "Mao Liang" came out, many viewers thought that a domestic version of Umbrella Company would be staged.
As everyone knows, this kind of anti-social evil villain will never be able to reach the perfect body and will be wiped out in advance. The grand goal of Boss Fox can only be a target.
In the next two episodes, the protagonist group is trying every possible means to rescue him. Here, Yao Shutong, who has a grudge against Boss Fox for killing his father, is trying every possible means to sabotage Boss Fox's plan.
Starting from the thirty-fifth episode of "Mao Liar", each episode is at least one hour in length.
The longest episode lasts for 1 hour and 30 minutes, which is equivalent to a movie and close to three episodes of an ordinary TV series.
The audience had a great time watching it, and the number of views of "Mao Liar" also skyrocketed.

As of the thirty-eighth episode, the number of views of "Mao Liar" has exceeded 10 billion, and has been rising rapidly.
The third most played TV series on Penguin Video is "Bright Sword", with a total of 10.9 billion views. The gap between "Mao Liar" and it is very close.
Some people even estimate that the current number one "Garden Meteor Shower" is 14.1 billion, and the number two "Wulin Gaiden" is 12.4 billion.
If the follow-up popularity of "Mao Liang" can be maintained, coupled with the advantage of Penguin Video's exclusive broadcast, there is a great hope that it can surpass "Wulin Gaiden" and take the second place.
As for number one, the data is relatively high. The details will depend on the subsequent growth of "Mao Liar".
But in any case, it is already a great achievement that "The Liar" has a high probability of ranking second, and "The Liar" itself suffers a lot from having fewer episodes.
If the entire drama "Mao Liang" were broken down according to the length of an ordinary TV series, at least twenty episodes could be made up.
The forty episodes of "Mao Liar" have exceeded 10 billion views. With twenty more episodes, it will easily reach another three billion. It is almost a piece of cake to win the first place in the rankings.
Penguin Video has also had this idea, firstly to help "Mao Lia" achieve this achievement, and secondly, to extend the broadcast time of "Mao Lia" and maintain its popularity.
These days, "Mao Liar" has become a hit, and Penguin Video has been in the limelight, suppressing the dramas of two old rivals, Kuyou and Qiguo, at the same time. The stock has soared, and it has almost firmly established itself as the leader of domestic video websites.
Therefore, Penguin Video hopes to gain more popularity and sit more firmly under the buttocks.
However, Zuo Le hopes not to disrupt the rhythm. As mentioned before, the plot of each episode of "Mao Liar" has a certain unit structure. If it is separated, the broadcast effect will be relatively weakened.
Zuo Le objected, and Penguin Video did not persist.
Firstly, what Zuo Le said is indeed right. Secondly, having tasted the benefits of Penguin Video, he wished he could worship Zuo Le as the God of Wealth. How could he dare to confront him over such a trivial matter...
