Chapter 473: Fairy Sword Nemesis, Evil Sword Fairy Zhao Liying

Chapter 473 Fairy Sword Nemesis - Evil Sword Fairy 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 season last year, this year's opening drama is the most low-key year for Blue Whale.

Even so, Blue Whale has also produced three dramas, with a cast including Qiao Zhenyu, Gulinaza, Dilirouba, Zhang Songwen, Lou Yixiao, Guo Jingfei, Tian Yu, Wang Jinsong and many other popular artists.

In general, although these three dramas dare not be said to be the top of the same period, they are definitely popular in the upper middle rankings.

However, PPTV, which is deeply tied to Blue Whale, did not choose these three dramas, but took the new drama "The Pretender" by Noon Sunshine as the main drama for the beginning of this year.

It is rumored that this is a project designated by Boss Wei, and in fact it is so.

At the end of last year, although Wei Yang did not achieve the goal of acquiring Noon Time, he impressed Noon Sunshine with his abundant funds, excellent team, strong channels and connections, and control of a promising platform.

At this stage, Noon Sunshine is in a critical period of transformation and intends to expand commercialization.

And they themselves are a serious drama team, and they are not very confident in this regard. If they have the help of Wei Yang, a "predecessor", there will be many benefits.

In addition, Wei Yang and Noon Sunshine have been grinding for more than a year, and the two sides have had a lot of dealings, which are generally pleasant, and Wei Yang has always been very sincere and respectful, which are seen by several core members of Noon Sunshine.

There are many reasons for not letting go before, one of which is that they are afraid that Noon Sunshine will be swallowed up by Blue Whale.

It is easy to say that it is just a merger, but they are afraid that Wei Yang will play tricks, so-called equity acquisition, but in fact it is to suppress and drag down, and eliminate competitors for Blue Whale.

This is not groundless worry. Many large companies do this to potential peers.

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

When the core advantage is taken away, the company will fail, the partners will go bankrupt, and a little money will eliminate the threat, and the parent company will continue to thrive.

Wei Yang has a good business reputation, but Wang Mang was a role model before he usurped the throne, Sima Yi was a loyal veteran of four dynasties before Gaoping Mausoleum, and Noon Sunshine was the wealth and foundation of those people. Who dares to bet on human nature easily?

But after Boss Wei took over PPTV, he opened up cooperation with other companies in large quantities, and Noon Sunshine's attitude also changed.

Blue Whale, which is in competition, has reason to swallow up Noon Sunshine, but PPTV, as a platform, does not need to do so.

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

Wei Yang invested in Noon Sunshine's 25% stake, 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, making him the third largest shareholder. The other founding 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.

It's just that the two capitals behind it only invest, do not participate in operations, and do not involve peer competition, so Hou, Kong and others are still relieved.

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

This is something that Hou, Kong and others who are eager for independence and autonomy do not want to see. Although Wei Yang is the second largest shareholder now, several founders are their own people, and Hou, Kong and others are still confident in controlling the company's management rights.

Wei Yang actually doesn't care how many shares he has. His main purpose is to bind Noon Sunshine.

25% is enough!

So, under the promotion of Wei Yang, PPTV and Noon Sunshine formed a deep cooperation model and became an important source of high-quality content output for PPTV's [Content is King] strategy.

"The Disguiser" was the first project of the cooperation between the two parties. After that, PPTV signed a letter of intent for five more projects with Noon Sunshine.

To put it bluntly, as long as the five subsequent 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 major benefit to Noon Sunshine, which is transferring. Within two or three years, the online copyright will not have to worry about sales. This is the bottom line provided by Boss Wei.

However, there are more surprises. Wei Yang asked PPTV to give a very generous price for "The Disguiser" and then personally connected with Shanghai Satellite TV.

With Boss Wei as a guarantor, Shanghai Satellite TV also gave a very considerable contract and set "The Disguiser" as the opening drama of the year.

At the same time, various advertising and publicity cooperation emerged in an endless stream, which opened the eyes of Noon Sunshine from top to bottom.

In fact, Noon Sunshine is not new to the world. They have handled many CCTV dramas, but in the past, they just sold the dramas after filming, and the transaction method was relatively traditional.

And this time, Wei Yang and Blue Whale showed them what it means to make money like water.

The shareholders of Noon Sunshine even half-jokingly and half-complained privately that if they had known that they could make so much money with Boss Wei, why would they be so reserved before.

Wei Yang attaches great importance to "The Pretender". After his identity and power changed, his perspective also changed accordingly.

In the past summer season and the opening drama, Wei Yang was more concerned about the success or failure of many projects of Blue Whale.

At present, Wei Yang is no longer obsessed with one city or one place, but starts from the overall situation and begins to consider more about the success and failure of the entire faction around 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 the market share of the entire market.

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

Is it to sit firmly in the position of a giant, or even to a higher level?

Or will it be beaten back to its original form and its development momentum will plummet?

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

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

"Happy Comedian", the first variety show that PPTV has deeply participated in and prepared for more than half a year, will also be broadcast in early 2015, supporting "The Pretender" in variety shows.

In order to make the "Happy Comedian" famous, Wei Yang made a big move, even sacrificing the gold content of the subsequent seasons to a certain extent, and finally put together a lineup that shocked the comedy world.

The ceiling of comedy drama - Happy Twist, led by the top artist Shen Teng and Ma Li.

The leader of Northeast comedy - Liaoning Folk Art Troupe, led by Zhao Benshan's favorite apprentices Xiao Shenyang and Song Xiaobao.

The most popular crosstalk group - Deyun Club, led by the artist Xiao Hei Pangzi, who strongly supports his favorite apprentices Xiao Yueyue and Sun Yue.

The representative of the new female comedy artist - Jia Ling

The treasure team with many talents - Love Laughing Brothers

As well as many comedy groups in the mainland, Taiwan, Hong Kong, etc., although they are not as good as the above teams, they have also achieved some success and can definitely be called a comedy feast.

In addition, Wei Yang also sold his old face and invited Xiao Hei Pangzi, Chen Xiaoer, Ge Daye, Wang Pangzi, Ning Hao, Xing Ye, Wu Mengda, Cai Ming Guoda and other comedy bigwigs as random guest groups to come and show their faces.

Those participating comedians are not bad in ability and fame, but they are too inexperienced. Once these bigwigs are brought in, the gold content of the program will rise sharply.

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

And Wei Yang is also very confident that the quality of the skits in the Spring Festival Gala in recent years may really become a stepping stone for "Happy Comedian"...

For PPTV's opening battle, Wei Yang attaches importance to it, but he just keeps paying attention and does not intervene easily.

Before, PPTV had just changed its boss, and there was internal turmoil, huge investment, multiple projects in parallel, and vigorous development. In addition, there were disputes over shares. Wei Yang really couldn't be a hands-off 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 has begun to consciously stop asking about and directing specific work, only controlling the general direction and supervision.

He already has experience as a boss!

With so many companies and thousands of employees under him, he can be very busy if he is allowed to make decisions on everything. Therefore, in addition to grasping the core key, many things must be delegated to the people below, and then rewards and punishments are given based on the results.

Now PPTV is like this. He has personally selected the two major projects for the opening of the year, and even provided a lot of help in them.

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

So Boss Wei still became a hands-off boss, watching the development of the situation. If he does a good job, the year-end bonus will be doubled during the Spring Festival. If he does not do a good job, he will either give up his position or contact a headhunter to leave after the Spring Festival.

In addition, there is another reason that Wei Yang has not been free to stay in PPTV during this period.

It has just been the New Year, and the Spring Festival is coming soon. There are many things that need to be handled by him personally, including the year-end summary and next year's plan.

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 Wei Yang has to give face to some of them.

In addition, "Detective Chinatown" is going to be released during the Spring Festival. This is a movie that is expected to hit 1 billion+, and it is also the key to the Blue Whale movie strategy. Various promotional activities cannot be separated from Wei Yang.

The heavy workload makes Boss Wei wish that the New Year's Eve game will be squeezed dry by Da Mimi and Tang Yan, so that he can hide for a few days.

However, he was in good health and ate too much that day, so he was fine afterwards. But Tang Yan and Da Mimi were weak for several days, especially the latter, who was beaten badly and didn't even attend Weibo Night.

However, Wei Yang strongly suspected that Da Mimi deliberately didn't go and used this as an excuse to blackmail him.

The reason was very good. She didn't compete with Zhao Liying for Weibo Night this time and didn't want to be a foil.

The competition in Weibo Night this time was particularly fierce, especially for Weibo Queen, which can be said to be the best in history, with many strong competitors.

Zhao Liying became a hot favorite with "The Journey of Flower" and "My Deskmate".

Da Mimi is not much inferior with "Tiny Times" and "Ancient Swordsman".

Tang Yan also had a lot of powerful works last year, so she may have hope of rising to the top.

Di Lieba's popularity soared with "Running Man", and her award was also convincing.

Zhou Gongzi, Zhao Mou, Gao Yuanyuan and other big stars also have their own support. Fortunately, Liu Shishi and Fan Xiaopang have won awards before, otherwise one of them has "The Empress of China" and the other has a scandal that exploded Weibo in the middle of the year, and the situation would be even more confusing.

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

In addition, Liu Shishi, Chen Kun, and Qiao Zhenyu, who were popular artists who won awards in previous sessions, have given Weibo Night much more gold content than the original time and space.

The first six winners, even the most controversial Yao Dazui, are first-line actresses and top Weibo stars, with extraordinary fame and influence.

The rest can be said to be the most popular stars in the circle, which has led to a considerable number of people believing that Weibo King and Queen are important certifications for popular stars.

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

Because of this, several hopefuls did a good job, and their fans quarreled.

The main force among them was Zhao Liying and Da Mimi, who were the most popular last year.

Tang Yan's fans also joined the battle, but it is not known whether they have a good relationship with Da Mimi's fans Xiao Mimi, or have an old grudge with Zhao Liying and Firefly, so Tang Mi joined forces two against one.

However, even so, Zhao Liying relied on the popularity of "The Journey of Flower" and the operation of Blue Whale to finally beat Da Mimi and get what she wanted.

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

"The Journey of Flower" swept the summer, "My Deskmate" made a big splash, and Zhao Liying won the Golden Eagle Grand Slam Best Actress Award. Now she has topped the Weibo Night. Zhao Liying is so popular that all the young actresses have to avoid the limelight.

And this time, Da Mimi lost in the open competition, which is also a blow to her.

After all, the gap between the two sides is very small. One loss may fall into the disadvantage and be regarded as a "loser" by the outside world.

It is worth mentioning that she defeated Da Mimi in Weibo Night. Before, "Star Han Canlan" had a higher rating than Liu Shishi, and she pressed Tang Yan to the ground every day.

Zhao Liying defeated all three beauties in the Fairy Sword.

No matter how many times she lost, she could win against three people, which is worth writing about. Besides, her record is not shabby, and the three beauties in the Fairy Sword do not have many advantages over her.

So 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 to fight Liu Tianxian again and completely establish the title of [Sword Nemesis].

However, Wei Yang does not know what happened to Liu Tianxian, but this time Da Mimi was indeed irritated by Zhao Liying.

Before this, Zhao Liying and Tang Yan had a deep hatred and were irreconcilable with Liu Shishi. However, although they disliked each other and even had many frictions, they were not in direct conflict.

Now Zhao Liying has completely offended Da Mimi, and she is more active in dealing with Zhao Liying than Tang Yan.

Among the three beauties in Sword and Fairy, Liu Shishi is too Buddhist. Even if she has difficulty with Zhao Liying, her methods are relatively passive, and Tang Yan is not a good fighter. Only Da Mimi is full of fighting spirit and dares to fight.

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

But now Zhao Liying and the three beauties of the Chinese Paladin have become enemies. Even if the three have their own thoughts, under the psychological hatred and other pressures, they may not be unable to put aside their prejudices and cooperate sincerely.

Once the three beauties of the Chinese Paladin unite and fight together with all their strength, it will be really frightening to the gods and demons...
