Chapter 963: Who Wants to Have Fun with You?!

“So what if we go against Guo Pai? Can’t we afford to provoke them?” Yan Zhengxing said, “With the “Broken Continent” series, we’ve long left Guo Pai and Peanut far behind.”

“This is President Wei and Tan Mo’s idea,” Xu Dashi said. “The president won’t make such a decision for no reason. I’ve thought about it, and I think he wants to use this opportunity to ruthlessly attack Guo Pai.”

“I also think this is a good opportunity,” Xu Dashi said, “Although we’re in the lead with “Broken Continent”, Guo Pai and Peanut won’t stop moving forward. They’ll definitely think of ways to catch up with us.”

“Our model isn’t difficult to learn. As long as we open up a segment, ignore the return on investments, and concentrate on the production, there’s no need to do too much — two or three segments a year will be enough. This part of the cost is actually not too much considering the income of the entire platform. It can also build the platform’s reputation. When Guo Pai and Peanut learn from us and start catching up, it’ll be too late for us to take any action.”

“Of course, they might not be able to develop a phenomenal IP like “Broken Continent”. After all, this kind of opportunity requires luck as well as strength. We have the strength and the courage to invest in Tan Jinqi. Tan Mo, as the scriptwriter, left the production to us because she is President Wei’s fiancée. This is our luck.”

“But in business, there is no reason to blindly follow the rules. If we blindly adhere to the rules, it means that we are not capable enough. If we are not capable enough, why would President Wei keep us around?” Xu Dashi said, “So, now that we’ve taken the initiative, let’s seize the opportunity to initiate an attack.”

“We’ll take advantage of Guo Saisai’s incident to step on Guo Pai again,” Xu Dashi said as he pondered. His fingertips tapped on the table, “Let’s see if we can make Guo Pai’s reputation decline so that the audience doesn’t choose their platform to watch shows.”

“Of course, the online boycott won’t last forever. As time passes, those who should choose Guo Pai will still choose them. But if we let Guo Pai suffer for a while, it will still cause them a huge loss.”

“Indeed, it can.” Yan Zhengxing nodded, “Other than the exclusive shows of Guo Pai, most of the shows are shared by the three major platforms. It doesn’t matter which side the netizens watch it from. Moreover, most of the netizens are now watching it back and forth on the three major platforms. Even the VIP accounts are shared among friends. Each of them acts as a VIP on a platform and then shares them with each other. Therefore, no platform is irreplaceable. Unless that platform’s exclusive show was indeed the trump card, and people had to watch it.”

“Our Kefeng Films “Broken Continent” is one, and Peanut Video’s pop-up variety show is another. Guo Pai has good results; none of them are popular, but they can all earn a little for the company. But in this way, some exclusive shows become dispensable.”

“In this situation, as long as there are two episodes that they don’t watch, they won’t want to watch them again,” Xu Dashi analyzed, “So, we should first make a move against Guo Pai and weaken them, so that Guo Pai and Peanut won’t come back and join forces against us.”

When everyone heard this, they all felt that it made sense, so they all agreed with Xu Dashi’s idea.

“Old Yan, contact Guo Saisai personally and make our attitude clear. Tell her not to worry. We’ll put her on our list of artistes to work with. If there’s a suitable show and script, we’ll look for her,” Xu Dashi said, “You can observe her first. If she is compliant enough, then sign her TV drama contract.”

“Okay.”

At this time, Luo Xuzhang’s phone call arrived.

Xu Dashi saw Luo Xuzhang’s incoming call, so he raised his hand and gestured to everyone.

The meeting ended.

Everyone quietly left the meeting room.

Xu Dashi was not in a hurry to leave. Now, the meeting room received a call from Luo Xuzhang.

“Director Luo,” Xu Dashi said after picking up the phone.

They had each other’s contact information.

“Mr. Xu,” Luo Xuzhang greeted Xu Dashi smilingly.

Xu Dashi asked again, “If you have something to say, just say it. You’re a busy man. You wouldn’t call me for no reason.”

“Haha, then I’ll say it directly.” Luo Xuzhang gave a laugh and said, “It’s like this. Our platform had a little conflict with Guo Saisai.”

“Oh? Is it because of the matter with Yuan Keqing?” Xu Dashi immediately replied and placed the blame squarely on Yuan Keqing’s shoulders.

Luo Xuzhang heard it, but there was nothing wrong with what Xu Dashi said.

The internal members of Guo Pai also knew that this was all Yuan Keqing’s responsibility.

“I didn’t expect Mr. Xu to know about it. Then I won’t have to explain.” Luo Xuzhang said with a smile.

“After all, there hasn’t been any big news recently. It’s not easy for one to appear, so everyone is paying attention to it,” Xu Dashi laughingly said. “It’s lively and great fun to watch!”

Luo Xuzhang kept his silence.

Who wants to be have fun with you?!

Luo Xuzhang took a deep breath and suppressed the urge to curse. He said, “We hoped that Guo Saisai would be able to calm things down. Who knew that she would betray me so easily.”

“With her stirring things up, where is Guo Pai’s dignity? With her starting this, doesn’t it mean anyone can bully Guo Pai in the future?” Luo Xuzhang said angrily.

Xu Dashi thought to himself, isn’t that so?

He had just held a meeting and was discussing precisely how to do just that.

“I have already contacted all our collaborators and those with good relationships with us. Everyone will not collaborate with Guo Saisai in the future. Only “Broken Continent” has officially announced that Guo Saisai will join the filming of the third season. But I also understand that Tan Jinqi’s side probably didn’t know about this when it happened. It all happened at the same time.”

“I hope that Tan Jinqi’s side can cancel the collaboration with Guo Saisai. I owe him a favor.” Luo Xuzhang thought that his favor was of great value.

How many people wanted it.

“Director Luo, you should tell Director Tan about this,” Xu Dashi said.

“Isn’t it the same if I tell you? You are the producer. If you tell Tan Jinqi, will he reject you?” Luo Xuzhang thought to himself, why hasn’t he spoken about it with Tan Jinqi?

He thought that Tan Jinqi was not someone of great importance and would be easy to communicate with.

He didn’t expect him to be so stubborn.

“Well, to be honest, I can’t make the decision on this. Although we are the biggest investor, the second biggest investor is Tanyue. Tan Jinqi is the eldest young master of Tanyue. He is also one of the investors, so I can’t order him around like I order my subordinates. Moreover, he made “Broken Continent” so successfully. Look at how good our reputation is now because of “Broken Continent”? And because “Broken Continent” has attracted many new members.”

“Director Tan is now a talent that everyone in our company is supporting,” Xu Dashi said.
