Chapter 586: Planning for Next Year, Betting Against LeTV

"Boss, boss!"

"Chairman, look here!"

"Boss Wei, I love you!"

"..."

As a qualified boss, Wei Yang naturally could not ignore the resentment of PPTV and Red Shark.

In addition, he did not exclude these companies on purpose, but there were reasons. At that time, he once thought that this kind of sweeping the building would be rejected by the company's employees.

Now everyone is enthusiastic, proving that Boss Wei was wrong, so the solution is simple, just make up for the sweeping.

However, because the previous notice of sweeping the building was over, the main creators of "White Night Chase" disbanded before he returned to Shanghai.

After all, the online drama is now popular, and the popularity of several actors has also soared. Various activities and invitations are constantly coming, and everyone is busy making money.

Qin Lan and Pan Yueming are not in Shanghai, and they are busy with work. Seeing this, Wei Yang did not call them.

Naza is still in Shanghai, so Wei Yang took her and two supporting actors of "White Night Chase" to sweep the building. Later, Rouba learned the news and happened to be on vacation, so he also came to join in the fun in the name of foreign aid.

Although Qin Pan is gone, there is a popular top-tier Rouba, and these employees under Wei Yang are not at a loss.

The day before, Wei Yang and his team went to Red Shark and other companies, and the next day they came to the last stop, which is also the base camp of "White Night Chase".

As soon as a few people showed up, they were immediately warmly welcomed by PPTV employees, and Boss Wei's popularity was even more frightening.

Different from Bilibili, which has just entered a period of rapid development, Red Shark and PPTV have more employees.

Because of the market and promotion, Red Shark has sent many employees to establish branches and overseas branches in various places. In addition, some employees prefer game + technology geek attributes and are unwilling to join in the fun, so there were more than 2,000 employees on site yesterday.

PPTV mainly works at the headquarters, with more concentrated employees and is closely related to the entertainment industry.

And it is considered the mother's home of "White Night Chase" and the main force calling on Boss Wei to come to sweep the building, so the enthusiasm for sweeping the building is even greater.

Wei Yang and his team could not count exactly how many people there were. They just felt that there were heads everywhere, and there were people everywhere, densely packed, and the noise was deafening.

"How many people are here!"

Naza and Rouba saw the surging crowd of Red Shark yesterday, and they were surprised enough. Today, they saw that there were obviously more people at PPTV than at Red Shark.

How to say it, 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 really saw the thousands of people, all of them were Boss Wei's employees, and everyone warmly welcomed Wei Yang, the shocking feeling made the two beauties in Xinjiang look at Wei Yang with tears in their eyes.

A man's charm is inseparable from the two words power and wealth!

Wealth is easy to say, but power is hard to come by, and this scene where the future of countless families depends on one person and is above thousands of people just interprets these two words.

After finally getting a chance, Rouba finally couldn't help asking about the number of people.

"PPTV's formal employees should be less than 4,000, but it's hard to say if some informal and outsourced team employees are included. I just asked, and there are many employees from other companies in the park who came to watch the fun. It is estimated that there should be nearly 5,000 people."

This is definitely the largest building sweep in recent days. It is better to say that it is a celebration party for PPTV than a building sweep.

Boss Wei personally hosted the event, and everyone gathered together to celebrate the success of "White Night Chase" and the previous summer strategy in June and July.

The previous building sweeps were all Wei Yang and the creators of "White Night Chase" interacting with employees, and this time even the executives were dragged into the water.

In addition, this building sweep included the signed group photos of the crew and the gifts of "White Night Chase" related peripheral benefits.

PPTV also provided all employees with drinks and self-service food, and finally held an on-site lottery event. The prizes included some digital products such as mobile phones and computers, and Boss Wei, the chairman, personally announced that exclusive bonuses would be issued to employees who made contributions to the summer strategy in the near future.

Now the employees of PPTV felt balanced, and then took the photos and videos of the building sweeping scene and posted them on the Internet to fight back against the previous ridicule of other companies.

Look, the boss still loves us the most, lilulu, you are so angry...

Wei Yang didn't care how these employees were jealous of others. He appeased everyone's resentment and held a meeting with PPTV.

The summer strategy has not been completely completed, but the overall situation has been determined.

As a mystery theme, "White Night Chase" has not many episodes, only 32 episodes, but because it is one episode a day, it slows down the pace and can be easily broadcast until the end of August.

With its current momentum, the whole month of August is almost flat, even if one or two good dramas emerge in the second half of the month, it is impossible to threaten its position.

This brilliant ending also makes this year's summer strategy particularly successful.

In a short period of time, all aspects of data 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: Fan Xiaopang's "My First Half of Life" and Dilirouba's "Love O2O".

There is also "A Flowing River" starring Wang Kai, which can be put forward at any time.

With these dramas, PPTV will not be able to take it to the next level, but it is enough to stabilize 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.

Whether we can withstand the pressure from all sides, take over the advantages accumulated in the previous few years, and become a dragon in one fell swoop, this year is crucial.

"Ode to Joy 2" jointly produced by Tang Yan and Da Mimi is basically scheduled to be broadcast in the first year of 2017.

If "The Great River" is not broadcast this year, it will cooperate with "Ode to Joy 2".

Da Mimi's "Three Lives Three Worlds Ten Miles of Peach Blossom" will definitely be one of the highlights of next year.

The first part of "Grave Robbers' Chronicles" performed well. Next year, we will continue to work hard and launch "Grave Robbers' Chronicles 2". There is a certain probability that we will cooperate with Nanpai Sanshu on "Old Nine Gates".

There is also a key project, which is the previously mentioned "Zhu Xian". Now the project has been approved and is being prepared. If everything goes well, there is a chance that it will be broadcast next year.

However, the current casting has been entangled. If Boss Wei doesn't play, who will play Zhang Xiaofan? Who should be used for Bi Yao and Lu Xueqi, who have a lot of scenes?

As for "Chi Le Chuan" that Boss Wei has been thinking about, it will not start shooting until next year, so it is not within the scope of consideration.

Fan Xiaopang's "All Is Well" has no problem with the schedule, but it was suppressed by Boss Wei, who planned to cooperate with the cover-up of Fan's pregnancy and wait for the opportunity to choose a time slot.

In addition, Liu Shishi also has a spy war drama in the Republic of China, and Tang Yan is said to be in contact with a spy war script.

Rouba is waiting to see the results of "Love O2O". The only drama she has set later is "Three Lives Three Worlds: The Pillow Book". Her current focus is still on variety shows, and she also wants to try movies.

Nazha is guaranteed to star in "Grave Robbers' Chronicles 2", and the others are still uncertain, but after "Day and Night", she has become a hot commodity and has no shortage of good projects.

Zhao Liying's current focus is on "Go Fighting", and she will have to wait until the end of the year or next year to shoot a movie.

Whether it is a drama or a movie is still uncertain, and we will wait and see.

In addition, Zhang Ruoyun, Lu Han, Qiao Zhenyu, Xu Lu and others also have their own projects, and there are close companies such as Tangren to help, as well as investment and outsourced dramas such as "In the Name of the 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, and Boss Wei is even more so, not to mention that he has other plans.

"How is the discussion about LeTV's film library going?"

"It's still being discussed. Although they are short of money, they will not easily give up the endless cornucopia."

Wei Yang has been thinking about LeTV's film library for a long time, but the progress is not particularly smooth.

LeTV is not stupid. Now the entertainment market is getting better and better. With the exclusive copyright in hand, it means a constant stream of income. How could it do such a thing of killing the chicken to get the eggs?

Although it is no secret that LeTV is in crisis now, many people still have confidence in it.

After all, LeTV is a well-known large company with a huge size and bright prospects in many sectors. In addition, Boss Jia can do accounting, so the books are not that bad.

Even if it is in trouble now, no company will have smooth sailing. It is not terrible to encounter difficulties, just survive.

Just imagine that before running away, Boss Jia was able to fool tens of billions of financing. Even the capital bosses have expectations for LeTV, not to mention ordinary people.

Therefore, when LeTV faced PPTV's acquisition of the film library, it did not rush to sell the copyright, but chose to grit its teeth and hold on, hoping to survive the crisis.

Not only LeTV thought so, iQiyi and Youku also thought so, so they did not compete with PPTV for the film library, thinking it was useless.

Even some people inside PPTV thought so, at most they could get back the copyright of a few Blue Whale series, or strive for the distribution copyright, and it would be too difficult to directly swallow 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 is like now. LeTV is not a crisis caused by a so-called strategic mistake, and it can't be recovered by fighting for some funds, but it is a thunder that can't be concealed.

Boss Jia is just struggling to survive now, and maybe he has already started to arrange a way out privately.

Once the situation reaches a point where it can't be held back at all, facing the covetous creditors, LeTV's golden goose can't be saved just by wanting to.

Wei Yang didn't know how LeTV had managed to keep the copyright in his previous life, but now that he was eyeing it in this life, the so-called dream paradise for workers was gone.

"Chairman, do you think this is okay? We can sign a mortgage loan contract with LeTV."

In fact, Wei Yang was not the only one who was eyeing LeTV's film library. CEO Li Ji was originally from LeTV and understood the value of LeTV's exclusive copyrights, so he had been thinking of ways to do it privately.

Wei Yang's eyes lit up, and he immediately realized the key point: "You mean... pawn?"

"The chairman used the word appropriately."

Li Ji praised, and then said: "It is pawn. Now LeTV may not easily sell copyrights. It is not a solution to keep deadlocked. Then we will change our thinking."

"We lend them the funds to buy the film library, and then sign a contract for a period of two years. The interest is that they give us the copyright of the film library for free for two years. After two years, they either pay back the money or give us the film library."

"LeTV is short of money now. If it can use the copyright as collateral to exchange for a sum of money, it must be willing to do so."

"And if they don't pay back the money, the copyright belongs to us, which is actually equivalent to buying the film library with money. If they pay back the money, the principal will not be affected, and the interest will be used for two years of LeTV's film library, and we will not lose anything."

In fact, this should be considered a gambling agreement!

PPTV and LeTV are both gambling, and the gambling is whether LeTV can pay back the money in two years.

However, PPTV is more proactive and LeTV is more risky, but they really can't resist the temptation of this money.

Wei Yang believes that with Boss Jia's gambling nature, he will definitely accept this agreement.

After all, if he agrees, there will be a sum of money, which may be able to save the situation. If he disagrees, LeTV will fall apart, and who knows what the fate of these copyrights will be, it is better to take a gamble.

As long as LeTV signs this cooperation, this film library will be in Boss Wei's pocket!

Of course, if there is a mistake, the probability of it happening is almost impossible, Boss Jia is not destined to die, but because of Boss Wei's money, he can turn danger into safety.

Then Wei Yang also accepted it, just as helping Boss Jia once, and he did not lose anything, and he also won a big favor from Boss Jia.

After the meeting, Boss Wei and Na Zha and a few others left by car. On the way back, Wei Yang was a little depressed.

Rouba was sharp-minded and quietly held Wei Yang's hand: "Brother, what's wrong with you?"

"Nothing, just a little tangled."

Wei Yang smiled bitterly, or more accurately, a little guilty.

If this bet was facilitated, perhaps many people would think that Wei Yang was helping Boss Jia, but his methods were more shrewd, but Wei Yang knew that he was calculating Boss Jia.

To be honest, 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 regarded each other as a friend, and later there were some disagreements.

But objectively, Lao Jia did help him a lot when he started his business, and of course, Wei Yang also gave him a generous return.

From the perspective of cooperation, the two sides can be said to owe each other nothing.

But many things are difficult to treat completely rationally. At least Boss Wei did owe Lao Jia a favor, and although there have been minor frictions between the two sides over the years, the overall relationship is still friendly.

If LeTV is in trouble, Wei Yang will not help, there is nothing to blame, and he really can't help much.

But deliberately calculating a wave is somewhat ungentle.

Therefore, although Wei Yang agreed to Li Ji's plan, he still felt a little awkward.

"Do you think this counts as being a whore and still putting up a memorial archway?"

Wei Yang felt that he was a little hypocritical, but Rouba disagreed: "No, this shows that my brother is loyal and righteous."

"You just coax me, if I really value loyalty and righteousness, I won't do this."

Boss Wei still has some sense of himself. Maybe he hasn't degenerated into a profit-seeking capitalist, but he doesn't deserve this term. At most, he can still say that he has a conscience.

Forget it, at most I can take care of Lao Jia's family more in the future, just as compensation...
