She actually has a lot of work to do. "Dear Translator" is expected to be broadcast in June, and Da Mimi has been promoting it. This trip to Germany is a break from her busy schedule.

After "Dear Translator" is broadcast, if the performance is good, she will take advantage of the opportunity to make some money.

Then it’s time to shoot “Eternal Love”, and there are other miscellaneous jobs. The hard-working woman I mentioned before was not a joke.

To be honest, Wei Yang had no idea why she was so busy. What had she done to make her come to the wedding? Could it be that she wanted to find excitement on the plane?

In comparison, Liu Shishi is relatively better.

"The Witch" is still in preparation, and "Assassin's Blade 2" is still some time away from promotion, so I took the scriptwriter Boss Wei to play in Germany for two days.

Unfortunately, it is very regrettable that Wei Yang and his friends have been feeling a little awkward these days.

The UEFA Champions League final had just ended a few days before the wedding, and the European Cup held in France will start on June 10, which is also the time when the Magnolia Awards are held.

So Boss Wei was quite unlucky this time. He came to Europe with great difficulty and happened to encounter two major football events approaching, but he didn't get to watch any of them.

Fortunately, before the big competition, there are usually friendly matches to practice, so the game is not in vain.

So Wei Yang and Liu Shishi played in Germany and its surrounding areas for a few days, watched a friendly match between England and Portugal, and then returned home leisurely.

As soon as he got off the plane, Wei Yang saw a photo online that someone who went to Europe to watch the game had taken the two of them on the court.

The weather was hot and they were in a foreign country, so the two of them didn't do much to cover up.

Wei Yang wore a pair of sunglasses, and Liu Shishi just wore an empty sun hat, with no obstruction on her face, so her features were clearly visible in the photo.

Moreover, the two of them were dressed casually and behaved intimately, talking and laughing. Although the picture was not clear, it seemed vaguely that they were holding hands.

Therefore, this set of photos was posted online and attracted a certain amount of attention. Many marketing accounts used "Wei and Liu get back together" as the topic to earn traffic.

That’s right, at present Liu Shishi and Wei Yang are still working separately in name.

Even though Liu Shishi participated in "Nirvana in Fire" and Blue Whale's drama after the breakup, and had various interactions and appeared on the same stage many times, any fool could see that the two had reconciled long ago.

But the two did not give an explanation for the breakup. Plus, there are relatively rare photos of Wei Yang being intimate in private this time, so don’t blame the marketing account for taking advantage of the popularity.

However, netizens were relatively calm, some even mocked the news for making a fuss out of nothing and calling it sensational.

Boss Wei and Liu Shishi were even calmer. The man was unmarried and the woman was unmarried, and they had never denied being single. There was nothing wrong with watching a game together between good friends.

The only one who might be nervous is Zhao Liying, but it’s not a big problem, as Boss Wei is confident that he can handle it.

…

In June, as the Magnolia Awards ceremony was approaching, Boss Wei also began to deal with some summer publicity work.

The release date for "Wushuang" has been set.

In July, there were still a few competitors, but overall, "Dynasty Warriors" still had the greatest advantage.

It is also worth mentioning that Liu Shishi's "Knife of the Assassin 2" was also released in July. The two films were released at the same time, but there was a two-week gap in between, so they did not face off against each other.

As for "Day and Night Chase", it was put in August. On the one hand, it was separated from "Wushuang" to gain some publicity time for Boss Wei, and at the same time it also supported PPTV's summer strategy this year.

Compared to the beginning of the year when they only released one work, "Strategy of the Ming Palace", although Blue Whale and PPTV also had some works in the following months, their performance was not as strong as before.

This is not because they don't have good cards in hand, but because they are keeping a low profile and making a concerted effort to dominate the summer season and crush other platforms.

In June, Da Mimi's "Dear Translator" and Lu Han's "Students Together"

In July, Zhang Ruoyun and Na Zha starred in "Grave Robbers' Chronicles", Tang Yan's "The Golden Marriage"

In August, Boss Wei's "Day and Night"

This is almost like throwing out half of Blue Whale's good cards in one go, in order to open the eyes of other platforms and let them know what it means to be a leader in the industry.

At the same time, PPTV intends to go public within the next two years. This is a summer strategy and also a way to let the market take a look and pave the way for the listing.

If nothing unexpected happens, after the summer strategy, PPTV will take advantage of the momentum and officially start seeking a listing.

It is expected to be listed in 2 to 3 years, and its market capitalization must be at least among the top three in the industry.

This is simply an insult. CEO Li Ji almost issued a military order, stating that the company must be listed by 2018 at the latest, and that its market value must remain the second and strive to be the first in the industry. This is still being pulled by the senior executives, otherwise Li Ji would have dared to claim that no one else could be the leader in the industry but him.

It’s not that Li Ji is being rebellious, it’s just that PPTV is too powerful now.

Especially after Youku was acquired by Alibaba last year, it was favored by the market in the short term and its market value rose for a period of time.

Now, more than half a year has passed, and the Alibaba Group has been making continuous moves, but there is no sign of any real results. Although Youku's market value is still relatively stable, any discerning person can see that it has fallen behind in the competition with iQiyi and PPTV.

Just kidding, with a new owner and sufficient financial resources to support the company, it is now a period of drastic and crazy expansion.

After PPTV raised funds last year, it has made a lot of big moves. This year, it has set its sights on LeTV's film library. At a time when LeTV itself is in a precarious situation, it is preparing to spend a large sum of money to acquire the film and television copyrights in LeTV's hands.

However, Youku's performance was mediocre, with no obvious changes, and some parts even became weaker.

In the competition among the top three, others are constantly advancing, but you are standing still. Isn’t this falling behind? On the contrary, after taking over Qidian and reorganizing Yuewen, Penguin began to make large-scale layout in the entertainment field, and Penguin Video also gained some momentum.

LeTV is on the verge of collapse, Sohu is a guard dog, Youku is in constant chaos, and Mango TV lacks foundation.

With the support of a big tree, Penguin may be able to overtake Youku and become one of the new top three in the future, or with the addition of Youku, the competition between the top three will become a melee of the top four.

But no matter what the future holds, Penguin has yet to make any progress, its future is unclear, and Youku is stagnant.

Currently, the only one standing in PPTV's way is iQiyi, but it has been on the defensive in several confrontations.

Now the only thing PPTV lacks is size and foundation. In other data, popularity and influence, it is already stronger than iQiyi.

If we can get hold of LeTV's film library and strategically give them a beating this summer, and stabilize the subsequent momentum, it will be time to replace the industry leader.

Even though this first one still has various problems

However, as long as they can continuously produce excellent works, hold high the banner of "content is king", and deepen user experience with "strong interactive community culture", they will be able to suppress other websites.

Li Ji has great ambitions. Listing and the stock market require gimmicks. The title of "No. 1 in the industry" is sometimes useless, but it is very valuable in the stock market.

When the company goes public, these executives also have shares and options. The stock price is related to their personal interests, so of course they hope the stock price is as high as possible.

Boss Wei naturally expressed his support for Li Ji and others. He was the largest shareholder of PPTV. The higher the stock price, the more money he made. He wished that Li Ji would lift him to the sky.

However, support is not just a few cheap words, it requires real action.

Therefore, Boss Wei was assigned a job to be interviewed by “A Day with Lu Yu Big Names”.

This program is an extension of "Lu Yu You Yue", which is dedicated to interviewing big elites. Moreover, it is not a simple ordinary interview. There will be some daily recordings of big names, allowing the audience to take a glimpse into the private lives of the big guys.

The ratings of this show are not high, but its influence is still significant.

Especially, Lu Yu won over Wanda Lao Wang, the richest man at that time, which allowed people to understand Wang's usual situation and related personality, making the program team famous.

PPTV acted quickly and immediately contacted Lu Yu to secure the online rights to the program, but one of the additional conditions was naturally to sacrifice Boss Wei.

Lu Yu was also very smart to schedule the interview on the eve of the Magnolia Awards.

We plan to record two episodes with Boss Wei as the theme, one is about Boss Wei's daily life, and the other is about following Wei Yang to participate in the Magnolia Awards to learn about the behind-the-scenes of his winning. If he wins the Best Actor award, it will be even more hype and the ratings will definitely be good.

Boss Wei didn't object. After all, it was on PPTV. The more popular the show was, the higher the website traffic would be. He also wanted to keep a souvenir.

On June 9, Lu Yu brought the crew of "A Day with the Big Shots" to Yunhua Mansion.

He definitely couldn't go to Liu Shishi and Zhao Liying's place, and the same went for other women. Although Boss Wei had many private residences, it would be too luxurious to live alone. It would be better to live in Yunhua Mansion. Anyway, the outside world also knew that Wei Yang bought a mansion for his parents.

Chinese people value filial piety, and with the sign of filial piety to parents as a shield, no matter how luxurious the villa is, Boss Wei is praised by the outside world.

Wei Yang and Lu Yu exchanged greetings. To be honest, one is the most popular star in mainland China, and the other is a well-known host, but the two have never worked together before.

Lu Yu was quite resentful about this. "Lu Yu Has an Appointment" had invited Wei Yang many times, but he was always rejected for various reasons.

Before filming starts, we must talk about Boss Wei’s taboos to avoid asking the wrong questions later.

In a private interview like this, the host would never try to embarrass the guest, not to mention that Wei Yang is now half of Lu Yu's boss in a sense.

Read the original text at Liu#9@书/吧!

Boss Wei didn't list a bunch of no's, the main ones were two: first, talk as little as possible about emotional issues, and second, you can shoot in Yunhua Mansion, but don't shoot your parents' faces, or cut them out later and use audio.

There is no need to say much about the former, as for the latter, it is mainly because the old couple does not want to show up in public and disturb the peace and quiet, and it is also safer.

Lu Yu agreed to everything, and then talked about the process. He was about to go back to the door to record, but was stopped by Boss Wei, who pointed at the microphone on his body.

"Now that you have this thing, don't bother with it. It's pretty fake. Just record it at home."

When Lu Yu heard that, he agreed and called the photographer to get ready to start filming. One of the highlights of this kind of program is the real daily life of the guests.

Wei Yang's casual and free-spirited attitude is more beneficial to the program. Unlike the previous guest who prepared everything, paid attention to everything, and touched up his makeup every few minutes, he looked too fake and hollow. The quality of the program is the worst since it started.

The photographer made a gesture to start the camera, and Lu Yu shook hands with Wei Yang to start the show.

"Boss Wei, long time no see."

"Teacher Lu Yu, welcome to my home."

After a few brief greetings, Lu Yu handed the initiative to Wei Yang. This is also the feature of the program. Following the guests, the host is more likely to show support and ask questions.

"Let's eat first. We just woke up and haven't eaten yet. Teacher Lu Yu, please try my aunt's cooking."

Boss Wei is also a veteran actor. He is very calm in front of the camera, even if the camera is filming his private life.

The nanny has already set the dining table. The breakfast is not luxurious, but there are plenty of varieties, including fruits.

"Come on, last time I watched a show, Wanda Wang's store had chive dumplings. Try ours and see which one tastes better."

“Do you watch our show, too?”

"I need to catch up on some lessons and see how others accept interviews, so as not to appear shy."

Wei Yang smiled and continued, "Try this porridge. It's a specialty of our hometown, called white porridge. It's not made with rice but with soybean milk and millet. It's not available outside Zaoshi and some surrounding areas. My mother made it herself. It tastes good when eaten with fried dough sticks and pickled vegetables."

Lu Yu took a few sips and praised it out of respect, but Wei Yang smiled and said, "Most people may not be used to it, just like I will never get used to the salty soy milk in Magic City."

Hearing this, Lu Yu found a breakthrough point: "Mr. Wei has been in Shanghai for several years."

"I went to college in 2006, so it's been almost ten years now."

Strictly speaking, it has been several decades including his previous life. Many local people in Shanghai have not stayed in Shanghai as long as he has.

"Are you used to living in the Magic City?"

"It's okay. I'll get used to it over time. Besides, Magic City is a modern international metropolis with advanced technology and a large influx of foreign population. The regional barriers are shrinking."

"Now I see your parents have also moved to Shanghai, how do they feel?"

"At first I was not used to it and wanted to go back to my hometown, but it got better slowly. In fact, they are not very old, they are only in their 50s, so they are quite receptive."

"Do you miss your hometown?"

"I do, but they can still go back to visit. I'm too busy here and may not go back for a year or two or even longer."

Seeing that the topic was a bit heavy, Lu Yu changed the subject, motioned the photographer to take a picture of the interior of the villa, and then asked curiously.

“Did you buy this villa for your parents?”

"right."

"Do you usually live here?"

"I don't live here all the time. I have another house outside and I travel a lot, so I don't live here very often."

"Can I ask how much did you spend on this villa?"

"…160 million."

Wei Yang hesitated for a moment but did not hide it. There had always been rumors about it, and since he was on the show, someone would definitely recognize him. It was not difficult to guess based on the market price.

Lu Yu's eyes were piercing: "Has the price increased now? How much is it worth?"

"It has definitely increased, but I'm not sure by how much. After all, the main purpose of buying this house is to live in it."

Wei Yang was not lying. This house was a residence, not an investment. The price of the house didn't matter, and he really hadn't paid much attention to it.

"It is said that you have many houses. Is that true?"

Wei Yang nodded: "I do have some investment in this area."

"Would you mind telling me how many sets there are and how much they are worth?"

Lu Yu pressed on, but Wei Yang refused bluntly this time: "This is not very convenient."

Seeing Wei Yang's firm attitude, Lu Yu decided to stop while he was ahead, and Boss Wei also breathed a sigh of relief.

Many people say that Lu Yu has poor interviewing skills and low emotional intelligence. This is certainly not a bad thing about her. Just now, Boss Wei has revealed that he doesn't want to continue the conversation, but she is still asking questions, which is indeed not very smart.

But then again, this is also one of Lu Yu's advantages. The reason why her show is popular with the audience is that she is curious and dares to ask questions.

Many people criticized her questions for being meaningless, but in fact, only questions without substance are popular among the people.

Compared to exploring Boss Wei’s business philosophy and talking about the secrets to success, the general public is more concerned about how much money he has and how many houses he has bought.

To some extent, Lu Yu seemed to be asking questions on behalf of the ordinary audience, asking some simple questions that could satisfy everyone's curiosity.

Therefore, even though Lu Yu’s reputation is not high, the show’s ratings and influence are not low. The main reason is the high quality of the guests and the fact that you can watch the show…
