“Boss, boss!”
"Chairman, look here!"
"Mr. Wei, I love you!"
“…”
As a qualified boss, Wei Yang certainly could not ignore the resentment of PPTV and Red Shark. Besides, he did not exclude these companies intentionally, but had his reasons. At that time, he even thought that this kind of building visit would lead to rejection by the company's employees.
Now everyone is calling for it, proving that Boss Wei was wrong. The solution is simple, just make up for the floor-to-floor sweeping.
However, because the previous building-to-building announcement had ended, several main creators of "Day and Night" disbanded before he returned to Shanghai.
After all, online dramas are very popular now, and the popularity of several actors has also soared. Various activities and invitations are constantly coming in, and everyone is busy making money.
Qin Lan and Pan Yueming were not in Shanghai and were busy with work, so Wei Yang did not call them.
Nazha was still in Shanghai, so Wei Yang took her and two supporting actors from "Day and Night" to visit the building. Later, Rouba heard the news and happened to be on vacation, so he also came to join in the fun as a foreign aid.
Although Qin Pan is gone, there is a new popular star named Rouba, so the employees under Wei Yang are not at a loss.
Wei Yang and his team went to Red Shark and other companies the day before, and arrived at the last stop, PPTV, the headquarters of "Day and Night Chase" on the second day.
As soon as these few people showed up, they were immediately warmly welcomed by PPTV employees, and Boss Wei's popularity was even more terrifying.
Unlike Bilibili, which has just entered a period of rapid development, Red Shark and PPTV have more employees.
For marketing and promotion reasons, Red Shark has dispatched many employees to establish branches and overseas offices in various places. In addition, some employees prefer gaming and technology geeks and are unwilling to join in the fun, so there were more than 2,000 employees on site yesterday.
PPTV mainly works at its headquarters, has a more concentrated staff, and is closely related to the entertainment industry.
They are also the mother company of "Day and Night Chase" and the main force calling on Boss Wei to come to sweep the building, so they are even more enthusiastic about sweeping the building.
Wei Yang and his companions were unable to count exactly how many people there were. They just felt that there were heads everywhere. There were people all around, upstairs and downstairs, so densely packed that the noise was deafening.
"How many people are here?"
Naza and Rouba had witnessed the huge crowds at Red Shark yesterday, which was already surprising enough, but today they saw that there were obviously more people at PPTV than at Red Shark.
Well, both of them knew that Boss Wei was the big boss, and the two famous companies, Red Shark and PPTV, were Wei Yang's industries.
But when they actually saw the thousands of people, all of them were Boss Wei's employees, who were surrounding Wei Yang to warmly welcome him, the overwhelming shock made the two beauties from Xinjiang province look at Wei Yang with watery eyes.
A man’s charm is inseparable from power and wealth!
Wealth is easy to talk about, but power is hard to come by. The situation where the future of countless families depends on one person, who is above thousands of people, just interprets these two words.
After finally gaining a gap, Rouba finally couldn't help but ask about the number of people.
"PPTV's official employees should be less than 4,000, but it's hard to say if some informal and outsourced employees are included. I just asked and there were quite a few employees from other companies in the park watching the fun, so I estimate that there should be nearly 5,000 people."
This is definitely the largest-scale building-touching event in recent days. It might even be more of a celebration party for PPTV than a building-touching event.
Boss Wei hosted the event personally, and everyone gathered together to celebrate the success of "Day and Night Chase" and the previous summer strategy in June and July.
The previous floor tours were all about Wei Yang and the main creators of "Day and Night Chase" interacting with employees, and this time even the senior executives were dragged into the fun.
In addition, in addition to the crew's signed photos and free "Day and Night" related peripheral benefits, the building tour also provided free gifts.
PPTV also provided drinks and buffet food to all employees, and finally held an on-site lottery. The prizes included digital products such as mobile phones and computers. In addition, the chairman, Boss Wei, personally announced that exclusive bonuses would be given soon to employees who had made strategic contributions during the summer vacation.
Now PPTV employees felt relieved, and they posted photos and videos of the building sweeping scene online to fight back against the previous ridicule from other companies.
Look, the boss still loves us the most, a little bit, I'll make you mad...
Wei Yang didn't care how these employees were critical of others. After calming down everyone's resentment, he also held a meeting with PPTV.
The summer strategy has not yet been fully completed, but the overall situation has been determined.
As a mystery series, "Day and Night" does not have many episodes, only 32, but because there is one episode a day, the pace is slowed down and it can be easily broadcast until the end of August.
With its current momentum, it will almost go smoothly throughout August. Even if one or two good dramas emerge in the second half of the month, it will not be able to threaten its position at all.
This brilliant ending also makes this year's summer strategy particularly successful.
In a short period of time, data in all aspects can firmly sit on the throne of the first in the industry, firmly suppressing iQiyi and Penguin.
In the second half of this year, PPTV still has two trump cards: "My First Half of Life" by Fan Xiaopang and "Love O2O" by Dilraba Dilmurat.
There is also a movie called "Long River" starring Wang Kai, which can be put forward at any time.
With these dramas, PPTV may not be able to reach a higher level, but it is enough to maintain its current position.
It can be said that decision makers such as Wei Yang and Li Ji have already focused their attention on next year.
This year is crucial for whether we can withstand pressure from all sides, build on the advantages accumulated in previous years, and soar to success.
"Ode to Joy 2", a collaboration between Tang Yan and Da Mimi, is basically scheduled to be broadcast at the beginning of 2017.
If "A Flowing River" is not broadcast this year, it will cooperate with "Ode to Joy 2".
Da Mimi’s “Eternal Love” will definitely be one of the highlights of next year.
The first part of "Grave Robbers' Chronicles" achieved good results. Next year, we will continue to work hard and release "Grave Robbers' Chronicles 2". There is a certain chance that we will also cooperate with Nanpai Sanshu on "The Mystic Nine".
Another key project is the previously mentioned "Zhu Xian". The drama has now been approved and is being prepared. If all goes well, it will have a chance to be broadcast next year.
However, the casting has been quite confusing at the moment. If Boss Wei doesn't play the role, who will play Zhang Xiaofan? And who should be cast as Bi Yao and Lu Xueqi, who have important roles to play?
As for Boss Wei's much-anticipated "Chi Le Chuan", filming will not start until next year, so it is not under consideration.
There is no problem with the schedule of Fan Xiaopang's "All Is Well", but it was pushed back by Boss Wei, who planned to cover up Fan's pregnancy and wait for an opportunity to choose a release date.
In addition, Liu Shishi also has a spy war drama in the Republic of China, and Tang Yan is also said to be in contact with a spy war script.
Rouba is waiting to see the performance of Love O2O. The only drama she has confirmed for the future is Eternal Love. Her focus now is still on variety shows, and she also wants to try her hand at movies.
Zhao Liying’s current focus is on "Go Fighting", and she will not be able to start filming any more until the end of this year or next year.
It is not yet certain whether it will be a TV series or a movie, and we will wait and see if they decide.
In addition, Zhang Ruoyun, Lu Han, Qiao Zhenyu, Xu Lu and others also have their own projects, and there is support from close companies such as Tangren, as well as investment and purchased dramas such as "In the Name of People". PPTV will have a lot of cards to play next year.
Therefore, although Li Ji and others are under pressure, they are still confident overall, especially Boss Wei, not to mention that he has other plans.
"How's the discussion about LeTV's film library going?"
"They are still grinding. Although they are short of money, they will not easily give up the endless cornucopia."
Wei Yang had been thinking about LeTV's film library for a long time, but the progress was not particularly smooth.
LeTV is not stupid. The entertainment market is getting better and better. With the exclusive copyright in hand, it will be a steady source of income. How could they do something that would kill the goose that lays the golden eggs?
Although it is no secret that LeTV is facing a crisis, many people still have confidence in it.
After all, LeTV is a well-known large company with a huge scale and bright prospects in many sectors. In addition, Boss Jia is good at accounting, so the situation on the books is not that bad.

Even though we are in trouble now, no company will have smooth sailing. It is not scary to encounter difficulties, just get through them.
Just imagine, before running away, Boss Jia was able to scam tens of billions of dollars in financing. Even the capital giants had expectations for LeTV, let alone ordinary people.
Therefore, when faced with PPTV's acquisition of its film library, LeTV did not rush to sell the copyrights, but chose to grit its teeth and hold on, hoping to survive the crisis.
Not only LeTV thinks so, iQiyi and Youku also think so, so they did not compete with PPTV for the film library, thinking it was a futile effort.
Even some people within PPTV hold this view. At most, they can get back the copyrights of a few Blue Whale series films, or strive for the distribution rights. It is too difficult to directly take over LeTV's film library.
"Keep grinding with them, there will be a chance."
Others are optimistic about LeTV, but Boss Wei knows what Boss Jia’s current situation is. LeTV is not facing a crisis caused by a so-called strategic mistake that can be recovered by obtaining some funds. Instead, it is a financial crisis that cannot be concealed.
Boss Jia is just making his last-ditch effort now, and maybe he has already started making arrangements for his escape in private.
Once the situation becomes completely uncontrollable, LeTV will not be able to keep its golden goose that lays eggs just because it wants to face the creditors who are eyeing it covetously.
Wei Yang didn’t know how LeTV had managed to keep the copyright in his previous life, but now that he had his eyes on it in this life, the so-called dream paradise for working people was gone.
"Chairman, how about this? We can sign a mortgage loan agreement with LeTV."
In fact, Wei Yang is not the only one who is eyeing LeTV's film library. CEO Li Ji used to be a LeTV employee and he understands the value of LeTV's exclusive copyrights, so he has been trying to find a solution privately.
Wei Yang's eyes lit up, and he immediately realized the key point: "You mean... pawn?"
"Chairman is an apt term."
Li Ji praised it, and then said: "It's just a pawn. I'm afraid LeEco won't easily sell the copyright now. It's not a solution to keep deadlocking. So let's change our thinking."
"We loaned them the money to buy the film library, and then signed a two-year contract. The interest was that they would give us the copyright of the film library for free for two years. After two years, they would either pay back the money or give us the film library."
"LeEco is short of money now. If it can use copyright as collateral to get some funds, it will be willing to do so."
"If they don't pay us back, the copyright will belong to us, which is actually equivalent to buying the film library with money. If they pay us back, the principal will be intact, and the interest will be used for two years of LeTV's film library, so we will not be at a loss at all."
In fact, this should be considered a bet agreement! PPTV and LeTV are both betting on whether LeTV can pay back the money in two years.
It’s just that PPTV is more proactive and LeTV has higher risks, but they really can’t resist the temptation of this money.
Wei Yang believed that with Boss Jia's gambling nature, he would definitely accept this agreement.
After all, if you agree, you will have a sum of money, and maybe you can save the situation. If you don't agree, LeTV will fall apart, and who knows what will happen to these copyrights. It's better to take a gamble.
As long as LeEco signs this cooperation agreement, this library will be in Wei's pocket! Of course, if there is a mistake, which is almost impossible to happen, Jia will be lucky enough to survive, but Wei's money will save him.
Wei Yang accepted it and considered it as helping Boss Jia. Besides, he did not lose anything and even won a big favor from Boss Jia.
After the meeting, Boss Wei and Naza and a few others left in a car. On the way back, Wei Yang was a little depressed.
Rouba was very perceptive and quietly held Wei Yang's hand: "Brother, what's wrong with you?"
"Nothing, just a little confused."
Wei Yang smiled bitterly, or to be more precise, he felt a little guilty.
If this bet was carried out, many people might think that Wei Yang was helping Boss Jia, but his methods were more shrewd. However, Wei Yang himself knew that he was plotting against Boss Jia.
Frankly speaking, he and Lao Jia were not the same kind of people. On the surface, they had a good personal relationship, but neither of them really considered the other a friend, and later on they had some disagreements.
But objectively speaking, Lao Jia did help him a lot when he was starting out, and of course, Wei Yang also gave him generous rewards.
From the perspective of cooperation, it can be said that the two parties owe each other nothing.
But it is difficult to treat many things completely rationally. At least Boss Wei is indeed indebted to Lao Jia for his favor back then, and although there have been minor frictions between the two sides over the years, overall the relationship is still friendly.
LeTV is in trouble and Wei Yang doesn't help. There is nothing to blame him for not helping. He really can't do anything to help.
But if you deliberately calculate it, it would be a bit ungentle.
Therefore, although Wei Yang agreed to Li Ji's plan, he still felt a little uncomfortable.
"Do you think this counts as being a whore and pretending to be a saint?"
Wei Yang felt that he was being a little hypocritical, but Rouba disagreed: "No, this shows that my brother values friendship and loyalty."
"Just try to coax me. If I really value friendship and loyalty, I won't do this."
Boss Wei still has some sense of himself. Perhaps he has not yet degenerated into a profit-seeking capitalist, but he does not deserve this term either. At best, he still has a conscience.
Forget it, at most I can take care of Lao Jia's family more, that's my compensation...
