Who are you calling powerful?

"The stars flow, and they are on the same path with you

We never met, but we began to get close to each other

Treat people with sincerity silently

..."

Wei Yang sat in the C position of the first row of the stage, looking at Principal Tan who was singing, and chatted with Li Ji next to him.

This year's Star Festival has a stronger performance attribute, and many well-known artists were invited to perform on the spot, intending to expand the momentum.

Firstly, PPTV has been developing better and better in the past two years, and its influence has been growing. The Star Festival has also accumulated a lot of foundation, and it has become more popular year by year. We should strike while the iron is hot, and of course continue to invest and continue to maintain this good momentum.

Secondly, this year's Penguin Starlight Awards was also moved from December to January, and iQiyi's Scream Night was also well organized and received certain praise.

It is hard to say whether these two companies have the intention to challenge each other, but PPTV certainly cannot fall behind, so this year's budget has been increased and the lineup is more luxurious.

After applauding and leaving the stage, the hosts Mr. He and Xie Nan came on stage to make a cameo appearance. Wei Yang glanced around and his eyes lit up slightly.

"You really invited the crew of "The Rise of Phoenixes" here, and those actors, they seem to be artists from "Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace" and "Legend of Fuyao"?"

Li Ji smiled and said, "Since they are nominated, of course they should be invited, but it's up to personal choice whether they come or not."

Although "The Rise of Phoenixes" and "Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace" failed miserably in the summer season, there are still some tricks for the two dramas.

At this year's Star Awards, "The Rise of Phoenixes" was nominated for [Best Supporting Actor of the Year], while "Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace" was shortlisted for [Best Newcomer of the Year] and [Best Supporting Actress of the Year].

In fact, if we look at influence and exposure, Mr. Zhou can also be nominated for [Person of the Year], after all, "Da Ru" has become a popular online meme.

But this is too weird, and it offends Mr. Zhou to death. PPTV is not afraid of Mr. Zhou, but there is no need to be so extreme.

People sympathize with the weak!

No matter how netizens curse Mr. Zhou, that is the voice of the audience. It is okay for ordinary people to curse the stars with sky-high pay.

But if PPTV does this, it may become platform bullying, big capital bullying small actors, and the nature has changed.

In response to PPTV's invitation, the crew of "The Rise of Phoenixes" and the nominated parties came to support the show.

Although they cooperated with Penguin for this play, they are not a family, so there is no reason to refuse PPTV.

"Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace" is not okay. Penguin has a great influence behind this play, so the crew did not come to participate in the awards, and even the nominated artists did not dare to get involved in the grievances between the two platforms.

But other artists in the crew of "Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace" have fewer concerns in this regard.

After all, they are not nominated, so they can't be prevented from attending the awards ceremony in their personal name. Participating in "Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace" once does not tie them to Penguin.

It's not that they can't be tied, but the key is that Penguin did not give any benefits. PPTV gave the camera, heat and some other benefits, and there were many people who came to support the show.

This is what PPTV wants. Even if the crew of Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace didn't come, the actors who participated in Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace scanned the camera and were full of connotation.

"It's a murderous move."

Wei Yang's smile was a bit sinister. Li Ji and his team's move was indeed quite sinister.

The Starry Festival awards are facing all major video platforms on the Internet, including Penguin, which has made a big effort in the summer. As long as you meet the requirements, you will be nominated and awarded.

PPTV doesn't have to worry about being "banned" by major platforms, because most of the popular projects that won the awards are PPTV projects. Even if they don't come, the scene is acceptable, which makes them look stingy.

But at the same time, the Starry Festival also put Penguin and iQiyi on the stage.

The Starry Festival selection range is the entire Internet, regardless of sectarianism, so will you Penguin and iQiyi follow it?

No!

Then, whether it is Scream Night or Starlight Awards, they can only become awards for their own platforms to entertain themselves, which also means that the right to speak on online awards will be handed over to PPTV.

In the future, the Starry Festival will be the highest honor in the field of online film and television, and several award ceremonies will directly open up a decisive gap.

But if you follow!

Platforms such as iQiyi and Penguin will face the nomination awards of the entire network, and the fun will be even greater, because PPTV has a large number of high-quality dramas with high reputation and high performance, and it is bound to become the biggest favorite for major awards.

If the award is given to PPTV's project, other people's children will step on their own children to ascend the throne in their own home, which will lose face and easily become a joke.

If there is no nomination or no award, the award will inevitably be controversial, and the credibility will decline significantly, which will make it easier to become a joke.

iQiyi Scream Night has made a choice, and almost all of them are nominated or awarded by their own platform projects, which clearly chooses to lie flat.

I don't play with you anymore, we are the "iQiyi Annual Meeting", and we can do whatever we want.

Penguin's Starlight Awards will be held a few days later, and it is not clear how to choose now, but now that PPTV has taken control, no matter how it chooses, it will be a fool.

"How do you want Penguin Video to choose?"

Wei Yang looked at Li Ji and the PPTV executives on the other side. The latter hoped that Penguin could face the entire network, whether it was a shady deal or the real awards were swept by PPTV, they could be severely humiliated.

"I hope Penguin can entertain itself."

Wei Yang didn't care whether to humiliate Penguin or not, it was only a short-term thing, and it didn't really mean much except for fun.

If Penguin chose to entertain itself, there might not be much fun to watch, but it would eliminate the threat to the Starlight Awards.

To date, the Star Awards has accumulated a certain first-mover advantage, and it is unlikely that the awards of other platforms will catch up.

But Penguin has a lot of people, a lot of money, and a lot of traffic. If it works hard, even if the Star Awards can't catch up with the Star Awards, it can still compete with the diversion to a certain extent.

In the end, maybe there will be a [Internet Double Star Award] similar to the [Three Golden Awards for Chinese Films].

If the person in charge of Penguin is more courageous, he will just go all out and give the awards seriously.

Even if it is humiliated by PPTV in various ways, after the fun, it proves the credibility of the Star Awards. After all, it would rather be slapped in the face by the enemy station than to engage in shady dealings. The fairness of the award is worthy of the outside world's conviction.

By then, the Star Awards will be dumbfounded!

Because PPTV's own projects have performed strongly, it has often monopolized the major awards of the Star Awards in previous years. In fact, the Star Awards has not yet gotten rid of the criticism of the "platform annual meeting".

It's just that there are really no other opponents, so the impact on the credibility of the Star Awards is limited.

But there is still some controversy. If Penguin seizes this opportunity, sets the pace and steps on the Star Festival to rise, then PPTV may be making wedding clothes for others.

"Hiss!"

The PPTV executive next to Wei Yang panicked. He was the one who instigated the plan to step on Penguin. If he fails to steal the chicken and lose the rice, he will have to take the blame.

Li Ji was a little hesitant at first, but he quickly calmed down: "Theoretically, there is a chance, but it is basically impossible to achieve."

Wei Yang smiled but said nothing. The executive was slightly stunned, but soon he looked confused.

"What does Mr. Li mean by this?"

Li Ji glared at him obscurely. What's the point of praising me at this time? Praise the boss first. He took the initiative to demonstrate.

"The chairman is still amazing. We were quite proud of this plan. You saw the breakthrough at a glance. Fortunately, it was not against you, otherwise we would have failed."

Then he still explained, mainly in response to Mr. Wei's question. After all, the plan had flaws and he had to make up for it.

"If Penguin follows the chairman's idea, it is indeed possible to turn the tables on us, but I don't think the person in charge of Penguin has the courage to do so."

"After all, this means that we have to step on the face of Penguin Video and even Penguin first, and then put it to death and survive."

"The face of a company of Penguin's size is very important. It is impossible to sacrifice so much for an award, and doing so does not guarantee that they can counterattack. If they lose face but don't do anything to us, then all their face and dignity will be lost."

"The risk is still not small. Even if the person in charge of Penguin is willing to go all out, other executives and the head office behind it will not agree."

Wei Yang nodded when he heard this. He knew it was a risky move when he proposed this possibility just now.

This kind of risky move is not something you can use whenever you want. Putting aside the courage, whether it can be used is a problem. At least the person in charge of Penguin Video is not qualified. Even if it is replaced by PPTV, Li Ji is not able to play it.

It is estimated that only bosses and leaders like Xiao Ma Ge and Wei Yang have the courage and strength to promote it, and have the confidence to accept the backlash brought by failure.

"So that's how it is. Mr. Li can see it clearly. The person in charge of Penguin can't use it even if he sees it. Only the chairman, a business strongman with such courage and decisiveness, can use this desperate and amazing trick to break Mr. Li's meticulous and comprehensive plan..."

PPTV executives finally "suddenly realized" and then sent rainbow farts in various ways. The basic rule is one for Li Ji and three for Boss Wei.

In short, may Mr. Li live a thousand years and a thousand years, and may the chairman live a long life!

Li Ji glared at him again. Why is Mr. Li a thousand years and a thousand years at this time? It should be the chairman who lives a long life.

"The chairman is still far-sighted and far-sighted. The two of us just saw it shallowly. It is indeed not enough to just look at the short-term benefits. Penguin chooses to entertain itself, which is in our best interest. Compared with you, there is still a gap in the pattern..."

After that, Li Ji also glanced at the executives, meaning that you should learn from it. You have to find the core person to flatter.

The executives felt a little wronged. How could I not know to lick the chairman first!

But you are my boss, how dare I forget you? What if you are petty and try to make things difficult for me?

"The chairman is wise and powerful, and Mr. Li is smart and capable. I believe that under the leadership of the chairman and Mr. Li, PPTV will surely be more brilliant."

No matter what Li Ji said, the executives would always mention Li Ji.

Li Ji didn't know whether he was really loyal or was just trying to flatter him in front of his boss.

However, Wei Yang was obviously not as petty as Li Ji thought.

Although Boss Wei was not a generous person, he was not jealous of others' talents, not to mention that the other party was his subordinate.

It was difficult for Boss Wei to be so successful that he would shock his boss, especially since he had built up the world of PPTV by himself. Li Ji's internal prestige was far worse than his, not to mention that Boss Wei firmly controlled the equity.

Li Ji's worries were completely unnecessary. The only thing that Wei Yang was unhappy about was that the two of them flattered him too awkwardly.

After all, he is from the business field, and his level in this area is obviously not as good as those executives from administration, personnel, public relations, etc., who are really good at flattery.

But it is precisely because of this that Wei Yang has a tendency to stay away from these people. It is not that he does not like to be flattered, but he is afraid of being flattered.

Flattery is terrible!

The most terrifying thing is that many "praise and kill" are unconscious, so sometimes it is hard to guard against. When you are surrounded by flowers and praise, you will slowly get lost, unable to see the real you, and eventually go the wrong way or even step into the abyss.

As mentioned earlier, Wei Yang is very careful in this regard, and has warned himself countless times, and even found stimulation for himself to be alert and remind.

But he still feels that it is very difficult to stay relatively sober, and it becomes more and more difficult as his status improves.

Just now, as the head of a large Internet company with a market value of hundreds of billions, Li Ji is also a big boss in the business world and one of the top elites of mankind.

Although the executive next to him is the most humble one among the three, he is also the peak that countless people can't reach outside, and even popular big stars have to behave honestly when they meet.

These powerful people outside flatter you and pour all kinds of nice words into your ears, which makes anyone confused.

Wei Yang is sometimes very fortunate that at least his parents have not changed much towards him.

Zhao Liying, Liu Shishi, and Fan Xiaopang all knew each other when they were young and just emerged. He has always been relatively indulgent and maintained a normal atmosphere between men and women.

And Li Jiahang, a good brother, he also tried his best to maintain the equality of both parties as friends.

It is precisely because these closest people have not been completely assimilated by his wealth and status that Boss Wei uses them as anchors, and with the psychological qualities of two generations, he insists on some of his former self.

Wei Yang thought about this when he was thinking about the richest man two days ago. If there were no such factors, what would he become.

A richest man in his early 30s, rich and powerful, to be honest, it is reasonable to make wild remarks and do ridiculous things.

It is no exaggeration to say that Wei Yang figured out his nature when he was young, and his behavior that might be polluted and guided by the circle.

It might be a good ending to step on the sewing machine with Tan Tan, or he might die. The biggest probability is to mess up his life and the lives of many people, and finally end with a sigh.

A super dark plus version of [Wei Yang's Special Troubles]...

With flattery and Wei Yang's slightly divergent thinking, some awards of the Star Festival also came to an end.

It is somewhat surprising that this year's [Best Actress of the Year] was not Da Mimi, Tang Yan, Fan Xiaopang, or Dilirouba, but was given to Wu Jinyan from "Story of Yanxi Palace".

It is hard to say whether the Star Festival deliberately wanted to get rid of the "PPTV Annual Meeting" controversy.

But this result is bound to cause various discussions, and the controversy among fans such as Dilirouba and Da Mimi is inevitable.

[Best Actor of the Year] was also controversial, and was actually given to Zhu Yilong from "Soul Land".

This drama was broadcast by Youku, and it was also one of the few projects that Youku could show off this year. Unexpectedly, it beat PPTV platform dramas such as "All Is Well", "Ashes of Love", "Old Mystic Nine", and "A Flowing River 2" to win the Golden Star trophy.

Zhu Yilong was stunned when he went on stage to receive the award. He didn't expect that he could win this award. His acceptance speech was a bit messy.

[Person of the Year] and [Best Drama of the Year] were awarded to the least controversial Dilirouba and "All Is Well".

The commotion after the ceremony was foreseeable, and Wei Yang made a special statement to Li Ji.

It is normal for awards to be controversial, but don't let others take advantage of the opportunity to lead the rhythm.

He directly uninstalled several mobile phone apps. It can be expected that there must be many fans who went to his comment area today to curse the shady dealings.

He can't care about the fans. Let them curse a few words, but the real owner still needs to be appeased.

Looking at Dilirouba, who was smiling politely, and Da Mimi, who was calm but depressed, Wei Yang was a little confused about who to find first.

Alas, if they agreed to appease together...
