PPTV's initial victory also allowed Li Ji and Wei Yang's group to surpass Suning and greatly increase their internal momentum.

Strike while the iron is hot, PPTV officially announced that many new films and TV series will be launched soon, which has created a lot of hype.

Soon after, the Magnolia Awards and Shanghai TV announced their cooperation with PPTV, and the online copyright of the Magnolia Awards Ceremony for the next three years belonged to PPTV.

Two days later, PPTV announced the introduction of a large number of variety shows from nearly ten TV stations including Shanghai, Jiangsu Province, Anhui Province, and Liaoning Province.

Although each company's flagship programs have basically been sold out, these second- and third-tier variety shows have greatly supplemented PPTV's variety show inventory. Combined with popular variety shows such as Blue Whale's "Dad is Back", they have suddenly propped up the reputation of PPTV's variety show section.

In May, PPTV and Blue Whale announced the creation of the first comedy competition variety show "Happy Comedians".

It is planned to invite several comedy groups including Deyun Club, Liaoning Folk Art Troupe, Happy Twist, etc. to compete on the same stage to determine the strongest comedy team.

This is also the first variety show project that PPTV has been deeply involved in, but it is definitely not the last one.

Wei Yang intends to use this opportunity to cultivate a group of variety show teams belonging to the website on PPTV, and will subsequently produce some small and medium-sized programs to enrich the variety of variety shows.

From this point of view, Wei Yang no longer takes Suning seriously. He openly treats PPTV as his own territory and makes long-term plans for it.

The Suning group and even the headquarters behind it were very unhappy about this, but they could not swallow up Wei Yang in one go.

Not to mention swallowing it up, they couldn't even invest another 1 billion to dilute Wei Yang's shares, and even breaking even with Wei Yang with the same investment was a bit bumpy.

In fact, Wei Yang really hoped that Suning would gather a group of funds, rush in to offset his funds and catch him off guard.

If there are too many, Suning will be reluctant to spend. If there are fewer, he will pay as much as the customers come, and PPTV will have more money.

If PPTV could get 5 billion in development funds, Wei Yang would dare to compete to become the number one website in the industry within a year.

But it is obvious that he is blinding his mind. How much is the total valuation of PPTV? If Suning can easily come up with billions in one go, Wei Yang will not be the major shareholder.

Therefore, Suning's team does not pose much threat to Wei Yang now. They are just showing their old incompetent rage and hoping that he will fail.

In contrast, Wei Yang was a little worried that Suning would not be able to hold on, so he sold his shares in advance.

Because there are rumors in the industry that Alibaba is seeking to acquire a video website.

This rumor has been circulating for a long time. Jack Ma has been announcing his big entertainment strategy so loudly, so how could he not have a video website?

When Suning acquired PPTV, there was competition from Alibaba, but the latter seemed to think the scale was too small and gave up halfway.

Boss Wei was a little worried that he had made PPTV too big. Suning, seeing that it was no match for the competition, was unwilling to give him shares and invited Alibaba, the wolf, to come.

This war of attrition is useful for Suning, which does not attach importance to PPTV and has insufficient cash flow, but it is useless for Alibaba.

Jack Ma spent a lot of money, spending nearly 30 billion to acquire Youku. Wei Yang really doesn't have the confidence to match him.

Therefore, Wei Yang was really afraid that Suning would cut off his financial support if he didn't see Alibaba and Youku getting on board.

But even though he was afraid, Wei Yang didn't want to slow down. It didn't make sense to not do anything just because he was afraid.

Hengdian, the crew of Nirvana in Fire

Wei Yang was browsing some news on his mobile phone, analyzing and pondering Alibaba's layout, and wondering if he were Jack Ma, would he give up the industry giant Youku and choose PPTV, which is on the rise.

He still thinks that Jack Ma is more likely to take action against Youku, but he still has to be on guard.

"Before the end of the year, we must get more shares from Suning and try to achieve absolute controlling rights."

Many people think that absolute controlling rights are 51%, but this is only relative.

Owning more than half of the shares means having great control over the company, but some major events still require notifying other shareholders and even obtaining their consent.

But if you own more than 67% of the shares, you have absolute control and can make the final decisions on company affairs.

If Wei Yang could own this proportion of shares, he could directly kick out all the managers of Suning, take full control of PPTV, and turn Suning into a shareholder with only basic rights such as dividends. Defeat is only a matter of time.

But it is not easy to do this. Suning is not stupid and will not sit idly by and watch Wei Yang succeed.

“It still costs money.”

Wei Yang was determined to make ends meet. He would invest most of Blue Whale's earnings this year and transfer some funds from Red Shark. If all else failed, he would just use his own pocket money.

Wei Yang has always kept his private and personal money separate!

The company can go bankrupt, but it should not affect his personal assets, which are the future and retirement money for his entire family.

Including a lot of funds borrowed for the previous acquisition of PPTV, all of them were mortgaged by the company or other assets, and his personal money was not touched.

For example, he has dozens of high-end properties, some high-quality stocks, funds and bonds of financial management nature, a certain popular currency, and some small side income he made through some cheats in the past, such as betting on football, bottom fishing, etc.

Apart from real estate and some stock funds, many of the following things are sensitive. Wei Yang has hardly ever mentioned them to anyone, and it is not convenient to talk about them.

So Wei Yang regarded it all as his own private money, which was not that much.

There are only a few small items in cash. If they are mortgaged, two or three billion will be no problem. In fact, they can be worth more if sold, but many things have not reached their market peak, so Wei Yang will not get rid of them easily.

This money is one of Wei Yang's last few trump cards. Wei Yang is unwilling to take it out unless it is absolutely necessary.

If this fails, most of Boss Wei's work over the years will be in vain.

"Damn it, Zhang family, and Lao Ma, please don't push me to that extent, or you will come back and kick me when I'm down."

Wei Yang took a look at the photo of Jack Ma, who looked full of vigor and vitality, then turned off his phone and closed his eyes to rest.

Less than a minute later, Wei Yang twitched his nose, opened his eyes, and saw Liu Shishi dangling two boxes of vegetables in front of him.

One portion is braised beef brisket, which is ruddy in color and has a strong meaty aroma.

One is fried tofu, golden on both sides, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.

“…”

Wei Yang was so angry, and he didn't know who infected him with this. This little girl Liu Shishi was getting worse and worse.

Knowing that he was dieting to lose weight and maintain his figure, and was as hungry as a third grandson every day, Liu Shishi prepared a bunch of delicious food in front of him every day to tempt him, which was really unkind of him.

"Oh, this braised beef brisket is really tender, but it still has a chewy texture and tastes better the more you eat it."

In order to tempt Wei Yang, Liu Shishi even smacked her lips without caring about her image. Boss Wei was so upset that he covered his ears and closed his eyes.

Out of sight, out of mind; out of hearing, out of confusion!

But Wei Yang was able to cover his mouth and eyes; he couldn't stand the smell that kept rushing into his nose.

"I'm going to sleep in the RV, don't disturb me."

Wei Yang got up and left. They were on a location shoot today and there was no lounge, so most people set up a shed outside. Only a few of the main actors had RVs.

Wei Yang originally wanted to take advantage of the break to bask in the sun, but someone disturbed him, so he simply went back to the RV to get some peace and quiet.

"Hahaha."

Seeing Boss Wei fleeing in a panic, Liu Shishi was in a good mood. While inviting his assistant to have dinner together, he held up his phone to show off his achievements in a small group of three.

In this small group, if they were showing affection, the two might not necessarily respond, but if they were teasing Wei Yang, the three of them would chat happily.

After eating until she was about 50% full, she put down her chopsticks. Out of boredom, she took some fruit and went to the RV to find Wei Yang.

The child was still easily soft-hearted. After teasing Wei Yang just now, he was worried about Wei Yang's anger and health, so he was ready to come over to comfort him.

As a result, as soon as I got on the RV, I saw Wei Yang hurriedly hiding something behind him, with a greasy look on his mouth.

Liu Shishi: “…”

As expected, we shouldn’t be kind to this bastard…

"Hand it over, what are you hiding?"

"What are you hiding? Why are you here? Let me see what you have in your hand."

Wei Yang wiped his mouth calmly and changed the subject. Liu Shishi was unmoved and took out his cell phone to threaten him.

"You don't want to tell me, right? If you don't tell me, I'll tell Lao Fang."

“Don’t.”

Wei Yang was scared. Lao Fang was his nutritionist, who was responsible for his diet menu and prepared meals for him every day.

This extreme weight loss and body shape maintenance by Wei Yang not only achieved the effect as quickly as possible, but also ensured the intake of other nutrients during weight loss, and tried to prevent these behaviors from harming Wei Yang's body as much as possible.

If Lao Fang knew that Wei Yang was eating without following the recipes, he would definitely adjust the menu for the next two days.

Maybe some "dark dishes" will be prepared that only consider nutrition and weight loss effects without caring about taste. Boss Wei is fed up with those nutritious meals that neither fill him up nor taste good.

In order to succeed in dieting, Wei Yang had made a harsh statement, so it was difficult for him to go back on his word, and he had no complaints even when being tortured.

"Sister, please go easy on me. I haven't had any normal food for almost half a month. Even if you're losing weight, you can still have an indulgent meal. Please forgive me this time."

Wei Yang begged for mercy bitterly, and Liu Shishi softened her heart again and took the phone back.

"Eat less to avoid being found out."

"Don't worry, I'll just satisfy my craving, I know my limits."

Wei Yang took out the hidden lunch box, which contained a box of cold dish pork head. The greasy pork head was garnished with chili and garlic slices, and the colors were bright, which made people's appetites whet.

"You don't mind being fat."

"No, the fat ones are the most delicious. I can't wait to get a piece of pork elbow to chew on."

In the past, Wei Yang had no aversion to fatty meat, but he didn't have any preference either. However, after being "tortured" for more than a month, what he wanted to eat most was the pork head from the delicatessen they had eaten in their childhood. The pork head was soft, chewy, and had a rich meaty aroma.

In fact, he had secretly asked someone to buy this box of pork head yesterday, but he kept it to himself and put it in the refrigerator of the RV.

I couldn't stand the stimulation from Liu Shishi today, so I heated it up in the microwave to satisfy my craving.

Under Liu Shishi's gaze, Wei Yang picked up a piece, put it in his mouth and chewed it for a few bites, with an intoxicated and satisfied expression on his face.

"All it takes is a little wine. That's just incurable."

“Is it so delicious?”

Seeing Wei Yang's exaggerated performance, Liu Shishi was also a little moved and glanced outside.

"What kind of meat is this?"

"Pig head."

Liu Shishi was furious and left angrily. About half a minute later, she ran back and asked another question in confusion.

"What kind of meat is this?"

Wei Yang actually realized what was going on as soon as she left, and replied with a smile.

"beef."

"Then I'll try it."

Liu Shishi picked a piece that was not too fat, tasted it happily, and gave it a good review.

Wei Yang smiled. There is a saying that goes, "Three are impossible to eat, two can be found to eat, and one can be eaten casually." In daily life, many people have a flexible bottom line.

Especially since Liu Shishi is just a member of the clan and does not involve other things, there are not so many taboos.

As long as there are no outsiders around, she will enjoy her meal, but the premise is that she "doesn't know". According to the rules, there is no problem with being deceived.

Wei Yang was very careful in his early years, until one time, when they both finished eating, they awkwardly discovered that they had made a mistake. As a result, Liu Shishi was just stunned for a moment and pretended nothing had happened. From then on, he no longer cared about this when there were no outsiders at home.

The two of them didn't eat much. They just ate some fruit to satisfy their cravings. Wei Yang didn't dare to eat anything too sweet.

"I will never accept this kind of role again."

Wei Yang was in great pain. He was asked to exercise and do physical training, and he was not afraid of the hardship or fatigue, but not being allowed to eat, being hungry every day, and most of the food he ate was tasteless, was really uncomfortable.

If Da Mimi and Liu Shishi hadn't been there for him, he might have become very depressed.

Food is the most important thing for people. At least for Wei Yang, this incident had a great impact on his mood. Apart from work, he rarely pays attention to others except Liu Shishi. This is the most "cold" time he has ever been in filming since his debut.

Liu Shishi laughed secretly: "Do you still remember the interview a few days ago? It made me laugh to death."

When this was mentioned, Wei Yang's face turned even darker. 2014 was known as the "Year of the Rule of Law". Many people in the entertainment industry were thrown into jail and the outside world was in chaos.

As a result, Wei Yang was interviewed a few days ago. He said that he had lost weight due to dieting, and he was in a bad mood due to not having enough food for a long time.

Although he remained polite, his face was obviously cold compared to the smiling face of the interview, and his answers to questions were a little stiff. It was because he had just finished filming and was hungry, weak, and a little out of energy.

This situation, at this juncture, naturally made people associate it with some things, and then unscrupulous media immediately started to stir up trouble.

Wei Yang was so angry. You can call me bad, you can call me dirty, you can call me a scum, but how can you put the blame of poison on me?

Wei Yang has always been incompatible with gambling and drugs! So Wei Yang cursed on Weibo for once, and then posted a few photos of the results of a series of inspection reports made by the local police station in Hengdian.

This operation directly proved Wei Yang's innocence, and interviews with other members of the Nirvana in Fire crew also confirmed that Wei Yang was in poor condition because he was hungry.

While everyone was laughing at Boss Wei's miserable situation, they also found that this operation was very effective.

Many people strongly demanded that other suspected candidates also go to the relevant departments to prove their innocence, which brought Boss Wei a lot of enemies.

But Boss Wei obviously doesn't care about that.

Who can say that they are pure and spotless in this world? Wei Yang himself is not a good person, so he is tolerant and retributive towards many mistakes. However, the word "poison" is a bottom line issue in his opinion, so he resolutely resists and disdains it.

The previous move was deliberate. This could better prove his innocence and also be a way to defeat the enemy.

Set the standard, and everyone will play by it in the future. If anyone dares not prove himself, he should get out as soon as possible...
