LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 12
Zheng An gets straight to the point
“Your company’s short film and project have recently created a huge sensation on the Internet.”
“I would like to ask if your company has ever considered going to a larger platform, such as joining Penguin.”
Join Penguin?
It’s just a euphemism to ask if it can be acquired.
The popularity of the short film has continued to rise in recent days, and now the related playback volume on major platforms is close to 100 million.
And this is just a short film.
He had already prepared for relevant people to come and ask questions, but he didn’t expect Penguin to be so direct.
It was the same simple and crude method of throwing money.
The consultant chuckled and said,”Sorry, not for the time being. Mihoyo Entertainment still has plenty of funds.”
Zheng An was not in a hurry after listening, and continued to ask,”Are you interested in cooperating with Penguin? We will give you the most favorable treatment, more and larger traffic.”
“You have to know that the Penguin platform’s advantage in this regard is almost overwhelming.”
“We will never interfere with your production.”
“On the contrary, we will provide you with money, resources, celebrities in the entertainment industry and everything you can think of.”
“The price is just to let us invest a small part, for example, about 10%.”
The consultant raised his lips but did not respond.
He knew that Penguin would never be so kind.
Zheng An did not wait for the consultant’s response. After a moment of silence on the other end of the phone, he finally smiled and said,”Occasionally, I mean occasionally, we will be given some unimportant roles to operate.”
“In exchange for greater profits”
“That’s all.”
Listening to Zheng An’s nonsense, the consultant tried hard not to laugh.
I don’t know what kind of devil you are, Penguin.
Ten percent may not sound like a big deal, but there are many studios that have been implanted, swallowed up, and then destroyed by Penguin through ten percent of shares.
Not to mention, exchanging unimportant characters for resources.
Just kidding.
Mihoyo Universe and Star Iron World are the consultant’s reverse scale!
As long as he thinks that some four-star characters will eventually be replaced by some capital-rich young meat, the consultant will vomit.
“Sorry, there is no room for negotiation.”
The consultant’s tone also became cold.
He was too lazy to argue with this person anymore. He hung up the phone directly.
But just as he hung up the phone, another call came in.
In just a few minutes,
Xiaoli Entertainment and Qiyi Entertainment both called the consultant.
But as expected, all of them were rejected by the consultant.
“boss……”
Gan Yu stood beside the consultant, looking at him with worry in her big eyes, and whispered,”This time, you have offended almost all the mainstream video platforms in China.”
“Don’t be afraid.”
Ganyu’s look made the consultant laugh in surprise. He narrowed his eyes slightly and said slowly:”What are we afraid of? They are the ones we should be afraid of!”
The consultant was not afraid at all. Instead, he had a sense of absurd dislocation.
When Lao Mi’s original god came out, there was also an overwhelming storm of public opinion on the entire network.
If you say that there is no pusher behind this, the consultant will not believe it.
In fact, the consultant believes that at least half of the manufacturers at that time were secretly fueling the flames.
Why?
Because the emergence of Lao Mi changed the industry ecology!
Originally, everyone was rehashing old things every day and lived well in their own circles.
Suddenly, a man named Lao Mi rushed out and made more delicious meals, so that everyone could eat better.
But the problem is that everyone is rehashing old things and doing defenses. You suddenly rushed out to do this. People who have eaten good meals will definitely not want to go back to eat history.
Cutting off someone’s financial resources is like killing their parents.
Of course they hate it.
The same is true here.
Major platforms produce hundreds of titles every year. Garbage, a bunch of traffic stars have come to a position that does not belong to them in the crazy hype.
No one talks about quality, no one talks about acting skills.
It’s all about capital and money.
The sudden emergence of a super outlier like Xingtie has made major platforms feel a sense of crisis.
Those people are not stupid, they know what is good and bad.
But it is precisely because they are smart people with bad intentions and only think about their own interests that they can monopolize the market!
The consultant already has a hunch.
The kind of public opinion storm and suppression that Lao Mi experienced back then. He may have to experience it again.
Even more fiercely.
However, the consultant has absolute confidence.
Strength can destroy all monsters!
“Speed up the shooting!”
The consultant put down the cup and immediately threw himself into the work.
“Hey, aren’t you going to take a break?”
Ganyu hurriedly followed.
“No time to rest! I will use the Star Rail pioneer train to smash their jobs to pieces!”
The consultant chuckled and looked determined.
At the same time, on the other side…
Penguin Entertainment, Xiaoli Entertainment, Qiyi Entertainment and other platform giants were holding a meeting online at this moment.
The focus of the meeting was the consultant’s Mihuyou Entertainment
“As expected, this guy directly rejected all of us.”
Zhao Bin, the person in charge of Xiaoli Entertainment, sneered and said
“It doesn’t matter, the tree that stands out in the forest will be destroyed by the wind”
“No matter how well he does, he can’t control traffic and public opinion.”
Zheng An said with a smile:”We can write some negative articles together, and then use all platforms to attack him. I don’t believe he can still shoot well under such an attack.”
Zheng An has a fanatical superstition about traffic theory. He always thinks that there is nothing that can’t be solved by reducing traffic.
“Is it really that serious?”
The boss of Qiyi Entertainment was quite curious:”It’s just a short film, and you guys are so nervous about it?”
“Not a short film, but a possibility”
“He showed us a possibility, that is, we can no longer guide the audience’s emotions, their emotions and time, and we can’t make money.”
“If this possibility arises, he will die.”
Zheng An said
“That’s right.”
Boss Qiyi agreed.
They all knew it.
If you can get double the return with 10% of your energy and investment, you can still make money even if you are scolded like a dog.
There is no need to get 100% of your investment in exchange for a possible double return.
The three companies signed an agreement to monopolize the market in order to reduce risks.
As for the audience’s entertainment needs, they have nothing to do with them.
Every two or three years, if they shoot something of qualified quality, the audience will be grateful and brag about it for a long time.
Isn’t it easy to live like this?
But no matter what, Penguin and Xiaoli didn’t really take the consultant and Mihoyo Entertainment seriously.
Because they didn’t believe that the consultant could really make a movie.
In their opinion, the short film of space comedy must have been made by the consultant after years of hard work. It just became popular by accident. To make the whole series to the same level as the short film.
No one on this planet can do it!
“But since you insist on being the first to stand out, then we will hit you, the first to stand out.”
After several people looked at each other tacitly across the screen, they hung up the phone.
But they didn’t know that what was waiting for them was not the first to stand out, but the train called pioneering!
