Chapter 474 The Nemesis of the Immortal Sword——Evil Sword Immortal Zhao Liying

After New Year's Day, the entertainment industry in 2015 began to be noisy again.

Because too many resources were spent on the summer holiday last year, this year’s opening ceremony can be regarded as the most low-key year for Blue Whale.

Even so, Blue Whale also produced three dramas, with a cast including Qiao Zhenyu, Gu Li Naza, Dili Rouba, Zhang Songwen, Lou Yixiao, Guo Jingfei, Tian Yu, Wang Jinsong and many other popular artists.

Generally speaking, although these three dramas cannot be said to be the top of the same period, they are definitely among the top hits in the rankings.

However, PPTV, which is closely tied to Blue Whale, did not choose these three dramas. Instead, it took Noon Sun’s new drama “The Pretender” as its flagship drama at the beginning of this year.

There are rumors that this is a project designated by Boss Wei, and this is actually the case.

At the end of last year, although Wei Yang failed to achieve his goal of acquiring Noon Sunshine, he was able to impress Noon Sunshine with many advantages such as abundant funds, excellent team, strong channels and connections, and controlling a promising platform.

The current stage of Noon Sunshine is considered a critical period of transformation, and it intends to expand commercialization.

And they themselves are a drama team, so they are not very confident in this aspect. If they have the help of "senior" Wei Yang, there will be many benefits.

In addition, Wei Yang and Noon Sunshine have been fighting each other for more than a year. The two sides have had a lot of interactions, which are generally quite pleasant. Wei Yang has always shown great sincerity and respect. These core members of Noon Sunshine are See it in your eyes.

There were many reasons why I had been reluctant to let go before. One of the biggest worries was that I was afraid that the blue whale would swallow the skin and bones of the whale at noon.

It's easy to say that it's just annexation, but I'm afraid that Wei Yang will pull some tricks, called share acquisition, which is actually suppressing and dragging down the company and eliminating competitors for Blue Whale.

This is not unfounded. Many large companies do this to their potential peers.

On the surface, they help you become bigger and stronger, but in fact, as long as they get the power, they will cause all kinds of trouble for you.

At that time, if the core advantage is taken away, the company will go bankrupt and the partners will go bankrupt. With a little money, the threat will be eliminated, and the parent company will continue to prosper.

Wei Yang's business reputation is very good, but before Wang Mang usurped the throne, he was a role model for the world. Before Sima Yi Gao Pingling, he was a loyal elder of the four dynasties. Sunshine at Noon is the foundation of their wealth. Who dares to gamble on human nature easily.

But after Boss Wei took over PPTV and opened up a lot of cooperation with other companies, Noon Sunshine’s attitude also changed.

The competing Blue Whales have reason to swallow up Noon Sunshine, but PPTV, as a platform, does not need to do that.

Although their previous concerns did not completely disappear, they were greatly weakened. Considering Boss Wei's sincerity and resources, Noon Sunshine finally relented.

Wei Yang invested and acquired 25% of the shares of Noon Sunshine, becoming the second largest shareholder after CEO Hou Hongliang.

Due to Wei Yang's investment, the shares of other shareholders were reduced. Director Kong Sheng, who originally had 25%, only had about 20% of the shares and was the third shareholder. The other founder shareholders also had fewer shares than in the original time and space.

This is similar to the previous life. Noon Sunshine later tasted the sweetness of commercialization, accepted capital injection, expanded its scale, and once gave up more than 50% of its shares.

However, the two capital companies behind them only invest and do not participate in operations, and they do not involve peer competition. Hou, Kong and others can feel relieved.

But Wei Yang is different. If he can get more than 50% of the shares, Noon Sunshine will be no different from the Blue Whale subsidiary.

This is what Hou, Kong and others who desire independence do not want to see. Although Wei Yang is the second largest shareholder now, the founders are all their own. Hou Kong and others are still confident in controlling the company's management rights. of.

Wei Yang actually didn't care how many shares he had, his main purpose was to bind Noon Sunshine.

25% is enough!

Therefore, under Wei Yang's promotion, PPTV and Noon Sunshine formed an in-depth cooperation model and became an important source of high-quality content output for PPTV's "Content is King" strategy.

"The Pretender" was the first project that the two parties collaborated on. After that, PPTV signed contracts of intent with Noon Sunshine for five additional projects.

To put it bluntly, as long as the next five projects of Noon Sunshine meet the requirements, that is, Wei Yang nods, PPTV will purchase the copyright at a price acceptable to both parties.

This is a great benefit for the transfer of noon sunshine. Within two or three years, Internet copyrights will no longer have to worry about sales. This is because Boss Wei has taken care of it.

However, the surprises didn't end there. Wei Yang from "The Pretender" asked PPTV to give him a very generous price, and then personally contacted Magic City TV.

With Boss Wei as a guarantee, Shanghai TV also gave a very impressive contract and designated "The Pretender" as the new year's drama.

At the same time, various advertising and publicity cooperations are emerging one after another, opening the eyes of the noon sun up and down.

Noon Sunshine is actually not new to the world. They have many CCTV dramas in their hands. However, in the past, when filming dramas, they were sold after the auction, and the transaction method was relatively traditional.

But this time, Wei Yang and Blue Whale showed them how to make money like running water.

The shareholders of Noon Sunshine privately even half-joked and half-complained that if they had known that they were making so much money with Boss Wei, how could they have been so reserved before.

Wei Yang paid more attention to "The Pretender". After his identity and power changed, his perspective also changed.

In the past, Wei Yang was more concerned about the success or failure of Blue Whale's many projects during the summer season and the opening of the new year.

But now, Wei Yang no longer sticks to one city or one place, but starts from the overall situation and begins to consider more about the victory and defeat of the entire faction surrounding PPTV and Blue Whale.

In a word, it doesn’t matter whether Blue Whale or some other project is successful or not, the key is its market share in the entire market.

Especially PPTV, which performed well last year, is bound to face many tests this year.

Is it to secure the position of a giant or even move to the next level?

Or will it be knocked back to its original shape and its development momentum plummeted?

This all depends on its overall performance at each level. There is no doubt that the opening drama is PPTV’s first challenge this year.

Wei Yang still has confidence in "The Pretender", not to mention that PPTV has more than just one card.

The first variety show "Happy Comedian", which PPTV has been deeply involved in and has been preparing for more than half a year, will also be broadcast in early 2015, supporting "The Pretender" in terms of variety shows.

In order to build up the brand of "Happy Comedian", Wei Yang worked very hard, even sacrificing the gold content of subsequent seasons to a certain extent, and finally put together a lineup that shocked the comedy industry.

Comedy drama ceiling - Happy Twist, the leading artists are brother and sister Shen Teng and Ma Li.

Liao Provincial Folk Art Troupe, the leader of Northeast comedy, is led by Zhao Benshan’s disciples Xiao Shenyang and Song Xiaobao.

The most popular cross talk group - Deyun Society, led by artist Xiao Hei Fatty, praised his beloved disciples Xiao Yueyue and Sun Yue.

Representative of the new female comedy artist——Jia Ling

A treasure trove of talented teams—Aixiao Brothers

As well as many comedy groups from Mainland China, Taiwan Province, Hong Kong, etc., although they are not as good as the above groups, they have achieved some success and can definitely be regarded as a comedy feast. In addition, Wei Yang also sold his old face and invited comedy tycoons such as Xiao Hei Fatty, Chen Xiaoer, Uncle Ge, Wang Fatty, Ning Hao, Xing Ye, Wu Mengda, Cai Ming and Guo Da as random guests to come and brush their faces. Take a stand.

The comedians who participated were quite capable and well-known, but their qualifications were too low. When these big guys were brought in, the value of the show would rise sharply.

It is said that PPTV has internally clamored to compete with the Spring Festival Gala language programs.

And Wei Yang is also very confident that based on the quality of the sketches in the Spring Festival Gala over the years, maybe they can really become a stepping stone for "Happy Comedian"...

Wei Yang paid great attention to PPTV's opening battle, but he just kept paying attention and did not intervene easily.

PPTV had just changed owners before. It was experiencing internal turmoil, huge investment, multiple projects running in parallel, vigorous development, and share disputes. Wei Yang really couldn't be the boss.

But now PPTV has begun to get on the right track, and Wei Yang has basically obtained absolute control.

At this time, Wei Yang had begun to consciously no longer interfere with the specific work of command, and only controlled the general direction and supervision.

He already has experience being a boss!

There are so many companies, with thousands of employees under him, and he has the final say on everything. He can be busy to death, so in addition to grasping the core key, he must know how to delegate many things to the subordinates, and then reward and punish based on the results.

This is the case with PPTV now. He has personally selected the two major projects for the beginning of the year and even provided a lot of help in them.

If he is left in charge of the specific implementation, the salaries of those executives and employees will be in vain.

So Boss Wei still acted as a hands-off boss and watched the situation develop. If he did well during the Spring Festival, his year-end bonus would be doubled. If he didn't do well, he would either give up his position after the Spring Festival or contact a headhunter and leave.

In addition, another reason is that Wei Yang has no time to stay at PPTV during this period.

The New Year has just passed, and the Spring Festival is coming soon. Year-end summary, next year's plan, even if Wei Yang delegates power, there are still many things that need to be handled by him personally.

At the same time, at the end of the year and the beginning of the year, most of the various activities inside and outside the circle can be promoted, but some Wei Yang also wants to support them.

In addition, "Detective Chinatown" is preparing to be released during the Spring Festival. This is a movie that is expected to hit 10 billion+. It is also the key to the Blue Whale movie strategy. Various promotional activities are also inseparable from Wei Yang.

The workload is so heavy that Boss Wei wishes he could have his life and death situation squeezed out of him by Damimi and Tang Yan together on New Year's Eve, so he can hide away for a few days to relax.

However, his body was strong enough and he had taken too much supplements that day, so he was fine afterwards. However, Tang Yan and Damimi's legs were weak for several days, especially the latter, who was dealt with badly, even on the night of Weibo None participated.

However, Wei Yang strongly suspected that Da Mimi did not go there on purpose, and then used this as an excuse to blackmail him.

The reason is very good. She didn't compete with Zhao Liying on Weibo night this time, and she didn't want to be a foil.

The competition on Weibo Night this time was extremely fierce, especially for Weibo Queen, which can be said to be the most competitive in the history, with many strong players.

Zhao Liying became a big hit with "A Thousand Bones of Flowers" and "My Deskmate".

Damimi is not inferior in holding "Tiny Times" and "Gu Jian Qi Tan".

Tang Yan also had a lot of great works last year, and she has no hope of rising to the top.

Dili Rouba's popularity has skyrocketed with "Run", and winning the award is also convincing.

Zhou Gongzi, Zhao Zhao, and Gao Yuanyuan also have their own support. Fortunately, Liu Shishi and Fan Xiaopang have won awards before. Otherwise, one of them has "The Legend of Wu Mei Niang" and the other has a scandal in the middle of the year. Bo, the situation will be more complicated and confusing.

Because Wei Yang and Fan Xiaopang relied on the good stories that supported Weibo and their explosive popularity, they raised their hands at the beginning of Weibo Night.

With the support of Liu Shishi, Chen Kun, and Qiao Zhenyu, award-winning and popular artists in the past, the Weibo night is much more valuable than the original time and space.

The first six winners, even the most controversial Yao Dazui, are both A-list celebrities and top Weibo celebrities, and their own fame and influence are quite extraordinary.

The rest can be said to be the hottest and most popular celebrities in the industry, which has led a considerable number of people to believe that King and Queen on Weibo are important certifications for popular celebrities.

Winning an award may not necessarily mean you are the most popular, but not winning an award is definitely not the most popular.

Because of this, several winners who were expected to win the award did a good job, and the fans were even more noisy.

Among them, the main actors are Zhao Liying and Damimi, who were the most popular last year.

Fans of Tang Yan also participated in the war, but I don’t know whether it was because they had a good relationship with Xiao Bee, a fan of Da Mimi, or because they had an old grudge with Zhao Liying and Firefly, so they later joined forces with Molasses to fight two against one.

However, even so, Zhao Liying, relying on the popularity of "A Thousand Bones" and the operation of Blue Whale, finally defeated Da Mi Mi and got her wish.

Became the fourth Weibo Queen after Fan Xiaopang, Yao Dazui and Liu Shishi.

"A Thousand Bones of Flowers" swept the summer vacation, and "My Deskmate" became a blockbuster. After being watched by the Golden Eagle Grand Slam, and now it has reached the top of Weibo Night, Zhao Liying has unlimited glory, and all the actresses have to avoid the spotlight for a while.

And this time Damimi lost in the open competition, which was also a blow to her.

After all, the gap between the two sides is extremely small, and a single defeat may put them at a disadvantage and be regarded as a "loser" by the outside world.

It is worth mentioning that she defeated Damimi in a night battle on Weibo. Previously, the ratings of "Brilliant Star" beat Liu Shishi, and she pressed Tang Yan to the ground and rubbed her every day.

Zhao Liying destroyed all three beauties of the Immortal Sword.

No matter how many times she lost, if she could win against three against one, it would be worthy of special praise. Moreover, her record was not shabby, and the Three Beauties of Immortal Sword did not have many advantages against her.

So much so that Zhao Liying got a nickname called [Fairy Sword Nemesis], and some people called her [Evil Sword Fairy].

It is said that Xiao Zhao is gearing up, hoping to play Liu Tianxian again and completely establish the "Sword Nemesis".

Wei Yang didn't know what Liu Tianxian was doing, but Damimi was indeed offended by Zhao Liying this time.

Before this, Zhao Liying and Tang Yan had a deep hatred, and they were at odds with Liu Shishi. However, although they disliked each other and even had frictions many times, it was not a direct conflict between the two.

And now Zhao Liying has completely offended Damimi, and she is thinking that she will be more aggressive in dealing with Zhao Liying than Tang Yan.

Among the three beauties of Sword and Sword, Liu Shishi is too Buddhist. Even if he has difficulty with Zhao Liying, his methods are relatively passive. Tang Yan is not a good fighter, but Damimi is very competitive and dares to fight.

In the past, the three beauties of the Fairy Sword were united on the surface, but each had their own ideas. Even if it was three against one, the actual combat effectiveness might not be much stronger than a one-on-one fight.

But now Zhao Liying and the Three Beauties of the Immortal Sword have become enemies. Even if the three of them have their own agendas, they may not be able to put aside their prejudices and cooperate sincerely under hatred and other pressures.

Once the three beauties of the Fairy Sword unite and go all out to fight together, it will be a real battle between gods and demons...
