Chapter 313 Sure enough
, it has to be Teacher Meng! Meng Ziyi finally understood why Meng Bai said he was working.
Most people watch variety shows without interruption, and at most they will go back and watch a wonderful shot or a famous scene with a lot of effects.
But Meng Bai is different. He pauses while watching, studies the barrage, flips through the comments, and then records it on the iPad beside him.
Others watch the show, but he watches the replay.
But although the viewing experience is not good, Meng Ziyi is still attracted by this somewhat novel program.
The first time I watched this kind of reasoning variety show, the feeling is very different from watching TV dramas or movies.
The only problem is that the more I watch this story, the more I feel a little chilly.
"One, two, three little friends,
four, five, six little friends, seven,
eight cute little friends,
play snowballs hand in hand together..."
The weird nursery rhyme echoed in the room, and Meng Ziyi tightly grasped a pillow to protect himself, curling up into a ball.
Two white little feet were pressed under her body, afraid to be exposed outside the sofa, as if there was a monster lying in ambush.
Most of her face was hidden behind the pillow, with only a pair of eyes exposed, ready to block the horror camera at any time.
Meng Bai on the side glanced at her: "If you are really scared, don't watch it."
"It's okay, I still want to see who the murderer is."
Although she looked nervous, Meng Ziyi was particularly addicted to watching it.
Many girls are like this, afraid of horror scenes, but they especially like to watch various horror movies.
In fact, in essence, they are all pursuing emotional stimulation.
It's similar to the principle of why good girls always fall in love with yellow-haired and scumbag men.
Seeing that the girl looked "inexperienced and playful", Meng Bai didn't care about her and continued his work.
What he recorded in his hand was not about the content of the program itself - these tasks were handled by He Chen's program team - he mainly looked at the audience's evaluation and acceptance of various plot elements.
As a content creator, the most common problem is to be out of touch with the audience market.
This is why many directors, writers and the like, produce works of extremely high quality before they become famous. But as their careers grow, their standards slowly decline.
The same is true for Meng Bai. Although he has the blessing of inspiration fragments, the final product still needs to be expressed by himself.
As his career becomes larger and larger, his energy is gradually occupied by various development plans and capital operations, and he is getting further and further away from the market.
Therefore, he needs to use this method of continuous observation and recording to maintain his sensitivity to the audience market.
Each episode of "Star Detective" is an average of two hours long. With Meng Bai's intermittent viewing method, it took nearly three hours to finish watching it.
"Hey, how can the murderer be the postman?" Meng Ziyi frowned on the side, "No matter how you look at it, the housekeeper has more motives!"
"Reasoning is about evidence. It's useless to look at motives because they all have grudges."
Meng Bai stood up and looked at the time. It was already eleven o'clock.
"Okay, don't worry about the story. If you can't figure it out, just watch it again tomorrow and slowly review it. It can also increase the number of views for my show."
"Oh."
Meng Ziyi responded, and just as she was about to stand up, she sat down again before she could stand up straight.
"Oh!"
Meng Bai looked at her: "What's wrong?"
"My legs have been sitting under my butt for too long, and they are a little numb." Meng Ziyi said pitifully.
"Girl, you are really awesome!"
Meng Bai raised his thumb and gestured to her: "You recover here, I'll go up first."
"No, little uncle!"
Meng Ziyi hurriedly stopped him: "I... I'm here alone, a little scared."
This courtyard villa is much larger than her home or dormitory, and it looks particularly empty at night.
It would be fine if it was any other time, but the key is that she had just finished watching a horror story, and she was still scared at this time. How dare she stay here alone.
"I told you that you can't do it, don't look at it, you must insist."
Meng Bai sighed and walked in front of her: "Stretch out your legs."
"Huh?"
"What? I'll help you solve it quickly." Meng Bai said, moving his wrists.
Is the uncle going to massage me?
That's equivalent to him touching...
Meng Ziyi blushed, and a sense of shyness inexplicably rose in her heart.
She lowered her head slightly, and her two white and straight long legs stretched forward. The small feet were slightly tense, and the toes curled up.
"Snap! Snap!"
"Ah!"
Accompanied by two crisp slapping sounds, Meng Ziyi screamed unexpectedly.
She thought Meng Bai would help her dredge her blood vessels or something, and she was even prepared, but she didn't expect him to come up and slap each leg heavily.
"Meng Bai!"
Meng Ziyi shouted angrily, and was so excited that she directly called out his name.
"How do you feel?" Meng Bai didn't care and asked her calmly, "Is there an immediate effect?"
"How can this method be good!"
"No?" Meng Bai frowned, "I used to relieve it this way when I was a child."
"..."
Meng Ziyi turned her head away speechlessly, with two tears in the corners of her eyes.
It was just numbness at first, but now it's better, it hurts and numb again.
Seeing that his folk remedies didn't work, Meng Bai had no choice but to help the girl get up, and then slowly walk to the room upstairs.
Because her legs and feet were powerless, the girl could only lean on Meng Bai.
To outsiders, it looked more like being held in his arms.
The biggest advantage of Meng Ziyi is that she is open-minded.
Anger comes quickly and goes away quickly.
Because they were so close, she could clearly feel the breath lingering around her.
It was not the so-called "manly smell" of sweat, but a unique pheromone mixed with a light perfume.
Meng Ziyi twitched her nose. Not to mention, it smelled pretty good.
Coming to the guest room, helping the girl sit on the bed, Meng Bai finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"There is a bathroom in the room. The toiletries and bath towels are all new. You can use them directly." Meng Bai stood at the door. "If you are scared at night, just lock the door. See if you need anything?"
"No." Meng Ziyi regained her smiling expression. "Thank you, uncle, for taking me in. Thank you for troubling me."
"I know you are troubling me. I will hurry up to find a hotel or rent a house tomorrow." Meng Bai waved his hand. "Go to bed early and don't stay up late."
"Good night, uncle."
Watching Meng Bai close the door and leave, Meng Ziyi lay on her back on the bed.
"Well, so comfortable~" Touching the soft bed and the exquisite furnishings in the room, she couldn't help but sigh.
After lying down for a while, waiting for the numbness in her legs to subside, Meng Ziyi washed and packed up.
After the end, she opened the door and looked in the direction of the master bedroom, where the light was still on.
"Humph, you still have the nerve to ask me not to stay up late, but you are the same." Meng Ziyi snorted and laughed.
But think about it, "Uncle" is only less than five years older than herself, and is also a young man of 26 or 27.
Every time at this time, she can't help but feel a little admiration in her heart.
Lying on the bed and watching short videos for a while, she finally put down her phone and went to sleep until she felt sleepy.
But after tossing and turning for a while, she couldn't help but think about the content of the program she had just watched, and she felt a creepy atmosphere inexplicably.
Meng Ziyi shook her head and quickly diverted her thoughts.
After changing the channel in her mind, she couldn't help but think of what happened tonight.
Speaking of which, although not bringing money is not a "thrilling" thing.
But the moment Meng Bai rushed to the bar without saying a word, she was still very moved.
By the way, did the waiter at the front desk of the bar mistake her for Uncle's girlfriend at that time?
And Xu Jiayu was the same, thinking that Uncle was her boyfriend.
Do they really look like a couple?
Forget it, just admit it if I was mistaken, I won't suffer any loss anyway.
But think about it, if I can really find a boyfriend like my uncle, it would be pretty good.
Handsome, rich, and caring about me.
Just like today, he rushed over without saying a word. I don't know how excited I was when I saw him. He
's just a little fickle. I know two "little aunts".
I don't know if there are more out there.
But then again, my uncle didn't seem to say that she was his girlfriend, so does that count?
Uh, it seems even worse.
Forget it, what does it have to do with me.
Oh - why is he "little uncle".
But speaking of which, I am so far away from my uncle, can we really be considered relatives?
If not...
In the dark night, Meng Ziyi's cheeks flushed.
No, no, I can't think about it anymore!
Let's go back to "Tong Yao".
-
The next morning, Meng Bai got up first.
After knocking on the door of the guest room several times, there was no response from inside. It was estimated that the girl had not woken up yet.
After leaving a few words for her on WeChat, Meng Bai took a car to Arclight.
As soon as he entered the company, he first talked to Liu Jun about the discussion with Cheng Wu last night.
"15 billion! Tencent is so generous!"
Even though he had thought about the other party's wealth before, Liu Jun was still surprised to hear this number.
Of course, he was even more surprised that Meng Bai refused without even thinking about it.
"There is no need. We are not short of money." Meng Bai shook his head. "Acquisition is different from financing. If Arclight is really sold, it will sooner or later become a film-making machine for Yuewen."
Liu Jun thought of another level: "It seems that the new Internet capital has passed the initial adaptation period and has begun to enter the mid-term stage of acquisition and integration."
Tencent's acquisition of Arclight Film and Television was not sudden. In fact, since last year, the trend of various mergers and acquisitions in the film and television industry has intensified.
Whether it is the old-fashioned Huayi, Perfect, Guangguang, or the new generation of New Classics Media and Lemon Film and Television, Tencent's shadow can be seen in the current shareholder structure.
Another Internet giant, Alibaba, is not far behind. This year alone, there have been more than 40 investments involving film and television companies.
Obviously, the film and television industry has also begun to enter a new round of "horse racing and land grabbing" movement.
"By the way, I talked to Mr. Cheng yesterday. Although this acquisition cooperation did not succeed, we can also release the news." Meng Bai said.
Liu Jun asked puzzledly: "You don't raise funds, and you don't go public, what's the point of releasing it?"
Meng Bai thought about it: "It sounds like we are more powerful."
"...Okay."
In fact, it is not completely useless.
Arc Light has never received financing, so the market's valuation of the company has always been in a "black box" state.
This time, with Tencent's demonstration, although it did not succeed in the end, it can be regarded as an anchor point.
Even without a premium, Arc Light's approximate valuation is at least around 10 billion.
This is the brand value positioning.
After processing documents for a morning, Meng Bai took a break in the office at noon.
Why do many people always feel that being a boss has a lot of energy.
Arriving at the company early in the morning and returning home in the middle of the night, they all look like workaholics.
It is not ruled out that there are indeed some people who are naturally energetic, but most of them are just an illusion.
Workers work all morning, and can only rest on the table or on the narrow and uncomfortable folding bed at noon.
Just after taking a nap, it is time to go to work in the afternoon.
Looking at the bosses, not only do they have a special lounge in the office, but also once the door is closed, they can rest as long as they want, and no one dares to disturb them.
Calculating the length of rest every day, it is much longer than that of ordinary employees.
After staying up late last night, Meng Bai had a good nap at noon.
When he woke up, he checked his mobile phone first, and found that there was a missed call.
He looked at the caller's name, it was He Chen.
"What's the matter, Director He, is there any problem with the program?"
He Chen's excited voice came from the other side: "Mr. Meng, have you seen the hot searches? The two episodes of "Horror Children's Rhymes" that we just aired have become very popular!"
"Really?"
Meng Bai opened the hot search page, and sure enough, several entries such as #Celebrity Detective#, #Horror Children's Rhymes#, #Treasure Variety Show#, etc. were at the top of the hot searches.
Clicking in and taking a look, each topic had tens of millions of views.
The following Weibo and comments were all about the discussion of the two episodes of "Horror Children's Rhymes" that had just aired.
Not only Weibo, but also video platforms such as Douyin and Bilibili, various sliced videos have emerged, and each has extremely high views and likes.
Many fans who have been following "Celebrity Detective" since the first season have left messages below, saying, "Our Ming Detective has finally made it."
As a new variety show, "Celebrity Detective"'s performance is not bad.
Especially in the second season of this year, because of the increase in advertisers and sponsors, the platform's publicity and promotion efforts have also increased a lot.
However, these popularity has always been limited to the audience. Although the reviews and scores are very high, it has never been very popular.
The script of "Horror Nursery Rhymes" is not only Meng Bai's innovation, but also an attempt by the program team.
Compared with the previous content that was mainly based on reality or film and television themes, this time it directly used a fantasy setting of "deviant reasoning".
Unexpectedly, it really became popular.
When He Chen saw the data played in the background, he didn't dare to believe it for the first time. It was not
until he refreshed it several times that he was sure that the statistics were not wrong.
Looking at the rapidly growing discussion volume and popularity on the entire network, He Chen couldn't help but sigh in his heart-
Sure enough, it has to be Teacher Meng!
