Beijing, a certain residential area Ai Yan (appeared in Chapter 194) finally coaxed her son to sleep. When she came out of the bedroom, she saw her husband Luo Yijia watching the game with headphones on.
As a die-hard Arsenal fan, in this era, every time the season comes to an end in April or May, I go through a period of ecstasy.
Arsenal should fight for the top four! Therefore, Luo Yijia is very concerned about the team's games and will watch the live broadcast even at the risk of being beaten by his wife.
So, when he saw Podolski score twice and Arsenal completely defeated Hull City 3-0, taking another step towards the battle for the top four, Luo Yijia couldn't help but stand up and excitedly wanted to raise his arms...
Bang~ Before he could even breathe, he was slapped back by Ai Yan, who glared at him with extremely dangerous eyes.
"You're going to wake up your son. You're going to have to sleep on the couch tonight."
Is there such a good thing?!
Luo Yijia was very tempted, but he still didn't dare to do anything stupid. He was afraid that he would be killed by his wife before he was chased to the sofa.
Besides, he also knew the trouble of coaxing a child to sleep. It was okay that he didn't help today because he was watching the game, but he couldn't mess things up.
"You've worked hard, my wife. Let me rub your shoulders for you."
Luo Yijia gave up his chair and gave his wife a massage, but his eyes were always on the game.
It's only been more than 50 minutes and Arsenal is already leading 3:0. I wonder if they can pull off a massacre today.
Arsenal fans of this era are suffering. They have to fight for the top four every year, but every year they have no support. They have become a well-known meme king in the fan circle, watching Manchester United, Manchester City and Chelsea next door win the championship one after another.
However, in a few years it will be their turn to laugh.
Although they still haven't won the championship, it's fun to watch Manchester United's Teng's army and Chelsea's northern expedition...
"Okay, okay, if you want to watch the game, go ahead and watch it. I'll go get you some water."
Seeing how pitiful he looked, Ai Yan didn't disturb him. Although she said harshly, she actually felt sorry for her husband.
They got married in October 2011, and their child was born last year. For various reasons, Ai Yan chose to temporarily resign and go home to take care of the child.
This choice undoubtedly brought great financial pressure to this small family, and now the family depends entirely on Luo Yijia to make money.
In order to save money, Luo Yijia has quit playing games and no longer goes out drinking with friends. He basically has no personal entertainment expenses. His only form of entertainment is watching football. The membership account is still his friend's.
Moreover, many football games are played in the early morning, so Luo Yijia cannot watch them because he has to go to work. It is rare to have a game at night, and as long as the children are not making trouble, Ai Yan is unwilling to disturb them.
After about half an hour, the game was finally over. Luo Yijia was in a good mood as the team he supported won a big victory.
Seeing his wife sitting on the sofa with her mobile phone recording something, he came over and hugged her and kissed her several times. Ai Yan pushed her away lightly but failed, so she let him hold her.
"What is this for?"
"Let's do the math. It's less than two weeks until the end of the month. Let's find some money at home."
The couple now has a clear division of labor. Luo Yijia earns money outside, while Ai Yan is responsible for taking care of the family at home. Managing the household expenditure accounts is also her job.
"Didn't we get a bonus last month? Are you out of money?"
"Yes, but you want to change your car, so I need to check my accounts to see how much I can save this month."
Luo Yijia bought that car before getting married. He didn't have money at the time so he bought it cheap. As a result, this broken car had minor problems from time to time. Luo's workplace was quite far away and he couldn't live without a car, so the couple had been saving money to buy a new car.
After doing some calculations, Ai Yan put down her pen with satisfaction. If she continued like this, she would be able to change her car before winter this year.
That's great, no need to worry about staying at home in the winter! Luo Yijia was also very happy, and couldn't help but sigh: "Speaking of which, thanks to what you said to Wei Yang, I bought a house early. If I had dragged it out like Lao Wang, it would be even more troublesome now."
Ai Yan also laughed when she heard this. This was something she was proud of.
Back then, she was obsessed with chasing star Wei Yang and took his words as her guiding principle. She persuaded Luo Yijia, who was pessimistic about the property market, to insist on buying a house, which even caused some unpleasantness with the parents of both families.
However, it turned out that Ai Yan made the right bet. In just a few years, housing prices in Beijing seemed to take off.
When they bought this house, it cost just under 20,000 yuan per square meter. Now it's listed for at least 30,000 yuan. The lowest transaction price Ai Yan heard this year was 28,000 yuan per square meter.
If they firmly believe that housing prices will fall like Luo Yijia's colleague Lao Wang, they will enter the market late and the same house will cost at least hundreds of thousands more.
Thanks to this achievement, Ai Yan has never lost a quarrel between the couple in the past two years...
After feeling pleased with herself for a while, this also reminded Ai Yan: "I asked you to get a PPTV membership account. Did you get it?"
"Why bother? Just open one. It doesn't cost that much."
Luo Yijia didn't want his wife to live in such poverty: "A little money is still money, don't you need it yourself? Hurry up and get me one."
"Okay, okay."
Luo Yijia said this, but he directly used his WeChat to open a membership for his wife on PPTV.
He is actually not that stingy, it’s just that the sports membership is more expensive than the ordinary movie and TV membership, and you can only watch a few games a month, and you may not be able to watch them in the early morning, so it’s a waste to buy it alone.
In addition, each of them likes different teams. You watch the Premier League and he watches La Liga. Their schedules are different, so crowdfunding is the most cost-effective.
In case you happen to need it, for example, to watch the Champions League, you can use one on PC and one on mobile, and it won’t be a problem.
Ai Yan is different. She usually watches TV at home when she has nothing to do, so it is not a loss for her to buy a membership.
"There is a distinction between sports membership and film and television membership. The Wei guy really knows how to do business."
Although Luo Yijia didn't care about this little money, he still couldn't help but grumble about it. Ai Yan next to him didn't say anything either.
She was very obsessed with Wei Yang back then. Now that she is a mother, she has grown a lot in age and mind. Although she is still a loyal [satellite], she is not that crazy anymore and has transformed into a calmer and more rational fan.
At least she pretended not to hear Luo Yijia's criticism of the ugly capital tactics.
In fact, she also thinks that PPTV has a bad point. It is too ugly to set up membership categories.
If Wei Yang knew this idea, he would definitely cry out in injustice.
On the PPTV website, sports and film and television are two completely different systems. The price costs are inconsistent, and the audience groups of both sides are completely different. It is normal to refine the users, and the operations are the same on all websites.
Fortunately, Luo Yiji and his wife didn’t care too much about this. Ai Yan got the account and ran to the computer to open PPTV.
“Hey, the website page is a little different.”
At this time, Luo Yijia next to him muttered something. He was an old user of PPTV and he just used this software to watch the game.
But when I opened the website just now, I went straight to the football game without taking a closer look. Now that I take a closer look, I find that the website has changed a lot.
First of all, the website page is simpler!
Now the website directly cuts out those unimportant things, amplifies the key information, and the layout appears more reasonable, making people feel refreshed.
Don’t underestimate this point. Many websites suffer from not knowing how to layout the pages and are unable to give users the best viewing experience.
This was the original PPTV. Now after the rectification, it is like a plastic surgery, the level and appearance of the website have been directly improved.
It may lose the favor of some old users who are accustomed to the original layout, but it makes the website "beautiful" and impresses other old and new users.
Luo Yiji liked this change very much. He took another look and found that there were also significant changes in other aspects of the website.
As for sports, the page and functions have not changed much from before. This is PPTV's strength and it is one of the best platforms in the industry. There is no need to change it lightly.
Only some small functions have been added, such as real-time rankings and number of goals of major competitions, to facilitate fans' reference.
In addition, the sports platform also announced two new programs, one for football and one for basketball, providing weekly highlights and commentary collections.
In the future, this aspect will be further increased to produce news, gossip, professional analysis and other programs, and reach cooperation with CCTV Sports Channel, Dongqiudi, Hupu and other cooperation platforms to tap the potential of sports media.
After all, PPTV's advantages have already been accumulated, and Wei Yang has no reason to give up this sector.

Besides, he is a football fan himself and sincerely hopes that sports fans can have a high-quality viewing platform.
PPTV will next gather funds and prepare to acquire the broadcasting rights for the 2014 Brazil World Cup. Even if it cannot get exclusive rights, it would be best to have the broadcast rights.
In addition to copyright, Wei Yang also plans to poach outstanding commentators such as Zhan Jun, which is also a magic weapon to attract a large number of users.
If the sports sector is just a matter of improvement and strengthening, then in the film and television sector, PPTV has truly undergone a complete transformation.
In the past, PPTV did not attach importance to this business. In fact, it was not that it did not attach importance to it, but it could not afford to buy the popular copyrights and could only pick up the leftovers from other websites.
But after Wei Yang took over, he introduced a large number of film and television resources to fill the film library.
Boss Wei still has some reputation in the industry, not to mention the TV stations. Even LeTV and Youku, although they are wary of PPTV, they don't want to directly offend Wei Yang.
After all, at this stage, PPTV alone may not be able to consume all of Blue Whale’s output, so everyone still needs to cooperate.
Even in the future, it will be common for websites to share resources with each other. No matter how much they fight or argue, it will not affect cooperation.
With the support of Boss Wei and a lot of real money, PPTV's film library has grown significantly, and a considerable portion of them are high-quality IPs.
"Wulin Wai Zhuan", "Bright Sword", "The Legend of Zhen Huan", "Crossing Guandong", "Eastern Palace", "My Love from the Star", "Startling by Each Step", "Chinese Paladin 3"...
Many of them are stocks hidden in the bottom of other websites' boxes, and Wei Yang has acquired long-term or short-term copyrights for them.
It’s a pity that Wei Yang’s most successful work, the “Joy of Life” trilogy, failed to win.
This drama just ended at the beginning of the year. It was very popular. It is a trilogy, but LeTV was reluctant to give it away.
This also made Boss Wei feel a little sad that his own website could not broadcast his own drama.
Just wait and see. When Boss Jia goes abroad, he will see if he can acquire LeTV Video’s film library and “redeem” his own dramas…
In addition to TV series, PPTV also performs well in movies. Most of these movies are non-exclusive collaborations, so as long as there is money, PPTV can get as many as you want.
Wei Yang also plans to set aside some funds to restore old films once the technology matures.
The nostalgic flow of these old films is not bad and they have a huge audience, so if played well they can be a good card.
In comparison, the variety show section of PPTV is relatively shabby, with only a dozen or so programs, most of which are not popular, and the others are used to increase the number of major evening parties.
However, it is this section that is currently PPTV's most attractive weapon for attracting new users.
Because the website has launched the popular variety show "Dad is Back" which is currently being broadcast on Jiangsu TV.
It can be said that many new users, including Ai Yan, came for this program.
Ai Yan is a fan of Wei Yang. When the latter acquired the website, she registered more than one account to show her support.
But support is one thing, and PPTV really had nothing that could retain people at that time.
So after a few days, Ai Yan forgot about PPTV until the website was rectified, revamped, and launched a flagship project with various publicity campaigns, which brought Ai Yan back to the site and gave her a lot of surprises.
"I also have "Eastern Palace", I can watch it five times."
"Wow, the quality of "Wulin Wai Zhuan" on this website is much clearer, and the comments are so cool."
"What is this? Oh my god, the creators of Chinese Paladin 3 have come together to send their blessing."
"Master Xing's "Justice, My Foot", let's watch it together tomorrow."
“…”
Luo Yijia took a look around, mostly observing the changes on the website, while Ai Yan didn't care about that and collected a lot of works that she liked.
It’s not that she didn’t want to support PPTV before, she just watched TV, of course, on her idol’s website.
But there is really nothing to watch. Most of the film and television resources there are quite average. The new dramas are not very good and the old dramas are also lackluster. The competitiveness is far less than that of other websites, and it is difficult to arouse users' interest.
It’s different now. There are at least a dozen old dramas that Ai Yan likes. Even if there is no new content, she can watch the old dramas for a while.
What's more, how could PPTV not have new content? After collecting it, Ai Yan urged to watch "Dad is Back".
Last year, "Where Are We Going, Dad?" became a huge hit and celebrity parent-child relationships also became a hot topic. At that time, Blue Whale was ready to launch "Dad is Back" to take advantage of the popularity.
This shameless practice has certainly won a lot of criticism, but the vast majority of viewers don’t care whether it is plagiarism or not, they only care about whether the show is good.
Especially after the program team officially announced the guest lineup, it sparked countless heated discussions.
Unlike the group activity of "Where Are We Going, Dad?", "Dad is Back" is filmed individually for each father and son pair.
This means that there cannot be too many guests, otherwise the show will not be long enough, so there are only three guests on "Dad is Back", but they are all top names.
One of the four most popular young actors of the year, Lu Yi! The representative of mainland tough guys, Hu Jun! The most popular middle-aged actor, Chen Kun! Needless to say, these three are famous, and they are all second to none in "Where Are We Going, Dad?"
From this perspective, the guests in "Dad is Back" are much more valuable than those in "Where Are We Going, Dad?"
However, what attracted the most attention was not the comparison of the guests' status, but the fact that Wei Yang actually persuaded Chen Kun to bring his son, who had kept the outside world guessing for many years, to participate in the show.
How did Wei Yang do this? As a result, Dad is Back became popular before it was even aired, attracting a large number of people and naturally bringing countless traffic to PPTV...
