Chapter 428 Blue Whale: If you think it’s expensive, I still think it’s expensive.

Don't panic!

Although Suning's team was a little bit pained by Wei Yangsao's operations, they were not panicked yet.

In fact, Suning is not a fool. Of course, it knows that Blue Whale will take advantage of its content and produce and sell its own products, and has made relevant preparations before.

I just didn't expect that Wei Yang would use so many resources when he first came up, and he didn't hide it at all, laying out his plans in front of the stage.

So after a brief moment of frustration, they calmed down.

From the time Wei Yang's investment was confirmed, both sides made up their mind to engage in a war of attrition.

Even if Wei Yang can save a lot of money with content, it is impossible to offset all of it.

If PPTV wants to develop, it will even compete with several other giants. The funds and resources it will use in the future will be huge, and the Blue Whale family will be able to support it.

Don’t forget, Blue Whale itself is also developing, and it is impossible to invest all the funds in PPTV.

Moreover, Suning does not believe that the Blue Whale project can continue to be prosperous.

Once a project overturns, or PPTV's revenue does not meet expectations, Suning can take advantage of this to suppress or boycott Blue Whale's "self-produced and self-sold" strategy, thus forcing Wei Yang to be unable to calmly transfuse blood.

For Wei Yang, PPTV and Blue Whale are the same company, but for PPTV itself, Blue Whale is just a related partner.

Theoretically, as long as Blue Whale cannot produce enough content, PPTV can abandon it.

And from the perspective of its own development, it is only a matter of time for PPTV to imitate several other websites and start creating its own content, which will also affect Wei Yang's plan.

All of these, Wei Yang's strategy is certainly very tricky, but at most it gives Wei Yang more chips, and in Suning's view, it is not insurmountable.

Again, Suning's team is very proud, and its confidence comes from Suning's base camp.

Last year, among China's top 500 private enterprises, Suning ranked first, beating Lenovo and Huawei, with annual revenue of 230 billion+, while Blue Whale didn't even make the list, and its revenue data was even "pathetic".

The number one private enterprise VS the “minions” who are not ranked among the top 500 companies

The advantage is mine!

If Wei Yang knew what Suning thought, he would laugh to death. Just counting revenue without gross profit margin, net profit margin, liabilities and cash flow would be pure hooliganism.

Wei Yang didn't want to argue about how big Suning's foundation was. He only cared about how much Suning could invest in PPTV.

Even if the revenue is 1 trillion, it is useless to be reluctant to invest money in this project.

All calculations and layouts are fictitious. The real outcome depends on money!

Under Wei Yang's arrangement, Blue Whale began to contact PPTV on projects such as "Gu Jian Qi Tan", "Dad Is Back" and "Running Man 2".

In this regard, Wei Yang also made it clear that PPTV was not his own business and there was no need for him to save money for Suning.

Therefore, Blue Whale’s asking price is so fierce that PPTV couldn’t help but tremble when seeing the price.

Take the ace "Running Man 2" as an example. Not counting those small requirements, just the copyright purchase alone has a sky-high price of 180 million.

If an agreement is reached, nearly 1/5 of PPTV’s book funds will be used directly...

This price is obviously unacceptable to PPTV. They hope to lower the price and even want to play the emotional card with Wei Yang, but Wei Yang ignores it and Blue Whale is even more firm.

If you think it’s expensive, I still think it’s expensive!

Don’t you look at how much we spent on production and promotion? This was last year’s phenomenon. Is there such a popular variety show out there?

The negotiators of Blue Whale are very arrogant. Without Boss Wei as a mediator, PPTV would not even be qualified to compete.

This is really not looking for trouble. Many people in the program team dislike the small size of PPTV. If it were not involved in Blue Whale's future major strategy, "Running Man 2" would really not want to cooperate with it. It was due to the good results of the previous work that otherwise the naming fee would be paid. It’s not easy to talk about.

After being criticized by the Blue Whale, the top management of PPTV looked unhappy, but they really had nothing to say.

Because "Run" has this confidence, the naming fee for the second season alone was negotiated for more than 200 million. It is not an exaggeration to ask PPTV for this price.

And frankly speaking, this is a big advantage. "Running Man 2" is expensive, but its popularity is also high.

If we can win this project, it will not only start the transformation of PPTV, but also attract a large number of new users. At the same time, the website can also use this to contact advertisements. If the operation is good, it can even earn back its expenses.

Penguin, iQiyi, and Sohu have all done this before. The effect of a phenomenal ace variety show is very terrifying.

So PPTV really got lucky this time, otherwise such a top-notch high-quality project would never be available to a second-tier video website with little money and power.

Based on this, no matter how high the price offered by Blue Whale, PPTV would murmur, but still nod hurriedly.

In addition, projects such as "Gu Jian Qi Tan" and "Dad Is Back" have also successively reached cooperation. PPTV is spending money like water, but it is also painful and happy.

Although the money is gone, with these high-quality projects, the market share and traffic will increase significantly, and then it will all be money.

As soon as Boss Wei took action, the website traffic increased significantly and he successively won multiple high-quality projects.

PPTV, which Suning has not made any significant changes in half a year, has received many good news in a short period of time under Wei Yang's hands, and has a bright future.

Even without deliberate publicity, Wei Yang's prestige within PPTV has greatly increased.

At least the old employees have begun to turn towards Boss Wei, believing that he is the leader who can lead the rise of PPTV. Even the Suning team is not without people who are shaken in their hearts, but they have not shown it due to various reasons.

But if this continues, some people may rebel in the future.

After all, they are all working as workers. The wages and bonuses are sufficient, and there is a path for advancement.

PPTV is excited, and Wei Yang is also happy. The 500 million he previously invested in PPTV has been earned back, and he has also received a lot of Suning's money.

He thought about finding some excuses later, and he and Suning each invested another 500 million to replenish PPTV's film library and not fall behind in technological upgrades.

After this wave of high-quality projects are completed one after another, the next large-scale cooperation between Blue Whale and PPTV will begin again, and then he will have money to invest again...

While Wei Yang was busy acquiring and rectifying PPTV, a big player also appeared in the entertainment industry.

The well-known good man and father in the entertainment industry heard Zhang, and was teased by Zhuo Wei, making him famous on Monday.

Thanks to Boss Wei, in the past few months, Wen Zhang has been making a lot of noise about the character of "loving wife and caring for the family". In addition, it is Ma Yili's second child, which can be regarded as a side support for the two people. Emotions made Wen Zhang shine.

In an interview not long ago, Wen Zhang even thanked his wife for her efforts in public, and even choked up for her at one point.

At that time, there were still a large number of "careful people" who wanted to use this opportunity to win over Wei Yang and other scumbags.

Unfortunately, Wei Yang was planning to acquire PPTV at that time and had a great reputation, so it was a pity that it did not affect him much, which made Boss Wei feel a little uncomfortable.

The harder you step on him, the harder it will be for him to turn around and add insult to injury...

Even so, the results I saw on Monday were great.

Even though this matter is not as sensational as the original "XX Gate", I can't stand it now that we are in the era of Weibo and everyone is eating it, let alone a popular male star and a good father.

Again, most people like to create gods, and even more like to destroy gods.

When Wen Zhang first rose to prominence, he was the number one acting niche born in the 1980s. He was very popular and had a harmonious family, but in the actor category, he was not much worse than Wei Yang.

Now the reputation has changed, and within a few days it has become a piece of shit that everyone despises.

All kinds of dirty stuff about big names were exposed, and his image and reputation plummeted. All the major production crews avoided him, and even his mentor Zhao Baogang said frankly that he didn't dare to use it lightly.

Of course, it must be noted that Wen Zhang's misfortune was not entirely due to the destruction of the gods, but to a large extent it was his own fault.

First, the character collapse is too great.

The persona of being a good father and a good husband was really not set up by Wei Yang for him, but he had always claimed it.

The perceptions and reactions caused by cheating by a scumbag, cheating by ordinary people and cheating by a good man recognized by everyone are completely different.

A bad person can become a Buddha instantly if he puts down his sword, but a good person will commit a heinous crime if he makes even one mistake!

Secondly, Wen Zhang is too domineering and usually offends too many people.

This guy is arrogant and arrogant, and is known in the industry as being difficult to maintain. This time, it was revealed that he insisted on eating fried noodles in the middle of the night and early in the morning, forcing the crew to run around the city, and that he had to drink hand-ground coffee, otherwise he would not cooperate with interviews and other shocking news.

The staff, fellow artists, the company, the production crew, this guy has a lot of enemies. With such a good opportunity, who wouldn’t want to hit him twice?

Wei Yang is one of them, and as far as he knows, many companies and artists are involved, either out of personal grudges or trying to pull him down and take over.

Of course, it's not like there are no people trying to get him, but in comparison, the number of people willing to help him is far outnumbered by the people he offends.

Third, he betrayed his wife Ma Yili and everyone deserted him.

As mentioned before, Wen Zhang's fortune was partly due to his wife, so his behavior is tantamount to ungratefulness.

Not to mention that Ma Yili is currently pregnant, and the nature of the incident is even worse, which directly leads to the disappointment and disgust of Ma himself, fans, and many friends and contacts.

At the critical moment, Ma Yili stood up and expressed her support for Wen Zhang, and was even praised as an outstanding public relations officer.

However, Ma's speech seemed to help Wen Zhang, but it also made the public's view of Wen Zhang even worse.

Your wife is so kind, but if you cheat on her, are you still not a human being?

For various reasons, Wen Zhang was beaten so hard that he had almost no power to fight back. Later, he simply became a representative of the cheating faction and found himself in a difficult situation.

Wei Yang was originally watching Wen Zhang turn over with great interest, but later his interest waned.

It wasn't because he was soft-hearted that he couldn't bear to take action. He also specially asked someone to take a picture of Ma Yili "alone" and going to the hospital with a pregnant belly. He took it out of context and used various rhythms. The cautious boss Wei never showed mercy to his enemies.

But being ruthless, seeing Wen Zhang in such a mess, Wei Yang could not help but think of himself.

To some extent, his behavior was worse than that of Wen Zhang. If Wen Zhang ended up like this, would he still have a way to survive in the future?

Therefore, despite his busy schedule, Wei Yang was one of the very few who spoke openly for Wen Zhang when being interviewed by reporters.

"From a professional point of view, Wen Zhang is a very good actor. I have always supported the separation of actors' profession and life. On the premise of not breaking the law or committing wrong principles, don't beat him to death with a stick. He is still young and should Give him a chance to correct himself..."

Wei Yang's statement surprised many people. Many people dug up old news about Wen Zhang clamoring for Wei Yang, as well as fans and press releases, praising Mr. Wei Yang a lot.

Some people saw something fishy and directly exposed Boss Wei's mask.

This guy is not speaking for Wen Zhang. He is paving the way for himself. He is trying to gain a relaxed public opinion environment for the scumbag, which will help him make amends in the future.

Wei Yang didn't care whether the outside world could see his purpose.

Anyway, no matter what he does behind the scenes, he will support the "scumbag" on the surface, even if he suffers some negative consequences for it, he doesn't care.

The tragic example of the collapse of Wen Zhang's character is right in front of him, and it is impossible for Wei Yang not to learn a lesson.

At this time, you pretend to be a good person and publicly trample on Wen Zhang. If something happens to you later, the more high-sounding you are at this time, the worse you will be slapped in the face later.

So he would speak for Wen Zhang, further lowering everyone's impression of his integrity.

If something is revealed in the future, everyone will despise it, but they won’t make a fuss.

Wei is a scumbag, it’s normal for him to do these things!

No matter what Wen Zhang said, this matter had nothing to do with Wei Yang. After supervising the smooth progress of PPTV's early work, Wei Yang left for Hengdian to participate in "Nirvana in Fire".

The crew of "Nirvana in Fire" has started shooting in March, and in the early stage, they mainly filmed scenes with the lead actor Wang Kai and others.

Wei Yang joined the cast in April, and Liu Shishi, who plays the heroine, came even later. Her role is not that big, so there is no need to worry. She has just finished her work and is on vacation with her parents.

"Nirvana in Fire" has attracted a lot of attention from the outside world. After all, it is Wei Yang's new work after the "Qing Yu Nian" series.

So much so that as soon as he joined the group, he received group interviews or exclusive interviews from many media. Wei Yang, who couldn't avoid it, also answered some questions accordingly.

Compared with "Nirvana in Fire", the acquisition of PPTV is the real hot topic.

However, Wei Yang rarely talks about this matter, and even now he shirks that he is preparing for rectification, letting everyone look forward to it, which also implies that the media has shifted the topic to "Nirvana in Fire" and acting.

"I obtained the copyright for this drama very early, and the preparation period was even earlier than "Celebrating More Than Years"."

"I wanted to give up on this project for a while, mainly because I felt that the costumes were too Machiavellian, but the script of "Nirvana in Fire" really moved me, so I still accepted the script."

"We have assembled many talented actors in this drama, some of whom we have collaborated with frequently, such as Teacher Wang Jinsong, and some of whom are working together for the first time. I am personally looking forward to it."

"The second half of the year will mainly focus on movies. I also want to try online dramas. Yes, there must be something to do with PPTV."

"..."

The media is very interested in the online drama Wei Yang mentioned. At this stage, online dramas are famous for their large scale, and there are almost no top stars participating. If Wei Yang "comes down to earth", it will be the first of its kind to launch an online drama.

Wei Yang also understands this. He had planned to act in an online drama before, but he decided not to do so due to cost and various reasons.

Now that we have PPTV and our own platform, many so-called obstacles no longer become troublesome.

For the development of PPTV, Boss Wei does not mind "sacrifice" himself once, and the outside world and fans do not think that he is "condescending".

It's just that Wei Yang hasn't thought about which web drama to film for the time being.

Now is a rare online drama blowout period, and the standard review is much looser than in later generations. Wei Yang naturally wants to take the opportunity to create a big wave and expand the impact on PPTV as much as possible...
