Chapter 764 Extra 21 The Ancient Greek God of Interception

Reject malicious duty!

Boss Wei convened a meeting again, emphasizing that everyone should take good care of public men and tools, and that malicious competition is not desirable. On the surface, it seems like you are taking advantage and suppressing the other party, but in reality it is damaging the interests of everyone.

To this end, Boss Wei also introduced a punishment mechanism. Anyone who engages in malicious competition will have days deducted or even have an entire shift cycle waived.

At the same time, Boss Wei also divided his three days into two and inserted them in between everyone else's three days.

In this way, the anxiety of several people about handing over shifts will be relatively alleviated, and he will also have some time to rest and relax.

Nine days of continuous fierce fighting is unbearable!
In addition, considering that there is a great deal of hatred between someone and someone else, and they may compete with each other due to conflicts, the original fixed shift order was changed to a cycle of twelve days and then a new draw was made.

This way the shift order is not fixed. If you don't follow the rules, others will have the opportunity to retaliate, which can serve as a deterrent.

Moreover, the order is shuffled, with some being first and some being last, which is relatively fairer and prevents those who are always at the back from suffering losses.

Liu, Zhao and Fan are not very satisfied with Boss Wei's frequent changes of orders. It was you who took the lead in formulating the rules in the first place, and it is too frivolous to change them now.

Boss Wei stressed: "It is not a modification, but a supplement. This was also agreed upon at the beginning. It must be adjusted according to the actual situation."

After all, he is the boss of several large companies and has handled countless contracts. How could he not leave himself a way out?

"That doesn't mean you have the final say on everything. If you can make changes, why can't we make changes?"

Liu Shishi felt that since fairness was to be achieved, it should be achieved to the end. It was not enough to just restrict them while not making any clear demands on Boss Wei.

Since it was about their own interests, Zhao Liying and Fan Xiaopang rarely formed a united front with her.

The three women have joined forces, Wei Yang cannot remain indifferent, so let's continue the negotiations.

Fan Xiaopang believes that we cannot just restrict their malicious competition, but we also need to have clear KPIs for Boss Wei, such as how many times in three days, to prevent her from skipping and missing sleep.

Zhao Liying strongly supports this point. Because Fan Xiaopang and Liu Shishi were too harsh before, when it was her turn, Boss Wei was obviously in poor condition.

Therefore, she felt that it was necessary to ensure not only quantity but also quality, and even proposed a duty scoring system to prevent Boss Wei from working without putting in effort.

Liu Shishi proposed another reward and punishment system based on Zhao and Fan.

Based on comprehensive evaluations such as quantity and duty scores, Boss Wei can be given special benefits and related rewards and punishments such as overtime.

Wei Yang is going crazy!

These three women are living devils. They even sleep to their KPIs. There was no such rule in the feudal dynasty back then.

It was so brutal that even Boss Wei, the evil capitalist, couldn't hold back his tears. He wished he could hang these three people on street lamps and shoot them with machine guns.

"Are you still human?"

Wei Yang asked a soul-searching question, and the three women said confidently: "When you were dating several people, how could you not have thought of this day? This is your blessing."

It’s no problem if you want to have a harem. I can satisfy you by having three concubines taking turns, but you also have to see if you have the ability to do so.

"If you are weak, you are weak. Why don't you just admit your weakness honestly? Why are you making such a fuss?"

Fan Xiaopang made a sharp remark, and Wei Yang's face turned red instantly. He argued and explained, "How can a reasonable duty be said to be empty?"

There were a series of difficult to understand words, such as "protect your body", "consider the long-term", "so and so is not as good as me", which made the women laugh and the group chat page was filled with a happy atmosphere.

That being said, a few women being jealous of each other shouldn't kill Wei Yang.

In the end, this meeting followed and passed all of Boss Wei's proposals.

But the demands of the three women were not completely ignored. KPI was definitely nonsense, but Boss Wei had to ensure quality and quantity to a certain extent and put an end to any perfunctory or slacking off.

At the end of the meeting, Boss Wei's eyes were filled with tears!

Although Boss Wei had a headache when he was sealed together with these three women, he also felt secretly happy, and even regretted not including Tang Mei and the two beauties from Xinjiang Province.

Now Boss Wei could only feel lucky that those four didn't come, otherwise he would have been dead.

However, having said that, despite how miserable Boss Wei sounds, he actually enjoys himself a lot every night and is actually tired but happy.

If this guy really can't stand it, he can just stop. The three women don't dare to force him. Is there any need for all kinds of discussions and consultations?

In essence, Boss Wei is reluctant to give up the blessing of having two wives. All the trouble he goes through is actually just to continue to satisfy this wonderful life of living in different places at the lowest cost.

The apparent grief and misery do contain some genuine feelings, but most of them are intentional.

The three women were forced to take turns on duty due to the situation, but they were quite resentful in their hearts. If Boss Wei was so happy every day, as if he was enjoying himself, he would be punished sooner or later.

On the contrary, if they were to act like they are now, with all kinds of misery and living like cattle and horses, only a few women would feel comfortable.

You deserve it for having multiple relationships at the same time!
As I said before, showing weakness is a kind of wisdom. Boss Wei knows how to make a fortune quietly in the business world, and naturally he has no shortage of such means in his family life.

In this way, the women were happy and didn't cause any trouble. He could continue to enjoy himself. Occasionally he might make a fool of himself, but since they were all family, he didn't have to worry about losing face.

...

After the problem of sleeping in shifts was solved, these women had one less important point of conflict.

Although there is always tension every day, bickering and sarcasm have become a daily routine, and conflicts occasionally break out. Liu Shishi and Zhao Liying even went to the audio-visual room to have a fight.

But overall, the family is relatively peaceful, and there are no signs of an all-out war or a complete fight for the time being.

It is good enough to reach this level. Wei Yang and even the old couple are very satisfied.

It is no longer possible to expect several women to live in harmony. The bottom line is just to have less quarrels and no fighting, to keep things acceptable on the surface, not to air family disgrace in public, and not to involve the children.

As time goes by, the situation outside has stabilized. Although we don’t know when the lockdown will be completely lifted, we estimate that it won’t take too long.

Some industries in some cities have begun to resume work accordingly, and the same is true for the entertainment industry.

Although Hengdian has not been unsealed and most crews have not started filming, there is more to the entertainment industry than just filming. Some celebrities have been very active during this period.

live streaming!

It doesn’t work offline, and it’s the same online. With the simplest configuration, a mobile phone is enough to start broadcasting. If you are more particular, you can add some fill lights, microphones, sound cards, tripods and other equipment, which is not difficult for artists.

Less than two months after the mask outbreak, many celebrities have begun to get involved in the live broadcast industry.

At the beginning, small and medium-sized stars may not have jobs, so they ask for tips to earn some extra money, while popular stars are more likely to be bored or keep their exposure.

Later, due to the current situation, some brand promotions and activities may have begun to move online, and live streaming has become the main way for artists to work.

Later, some artist teams tasted the sweetness of live streaming and began to try profit models such as selling goods, and started semi-professional and formal live streaming.

Take the Douyin platform as an example. Since February, the number of famous celebrities who have joined the Douyin platform has increased by at least three digits.

During this period, there were more than 300 celebrity artists conducting official, cooperative, business, and daily live broadcasts. In addition, those who did not conduct live broadcasts also shot various theme videos through Douyin, and the number of increases was significantly higher than before the masks.

The TikTok platform and even the official media call this phenomenon the normalization of "cloud entertainment."

In this trend, the Blue Whale system inevitably joined in, and was even considered one of the earlier ones to try.

After all, the artists from the Blue Whale series are popular enough, so they have to maintain exposure. At the same time, they have deep relationships with major platforms, so some cooperation is inevitable.

Therefore, except for the early stage of the epidemic, it was inconvenient to compete with the official for popularity, but restrictions were relaxed later.

Blue Whale artists have already conducted a certain number of live broadcasts and video creations on multiple platforms including PPTV, Bilibili, Douyin, Weibo, and Xiaohongshu.

Some artists with good results even start to stay on one of the platforms, with one party providing traffic and the other party providing relevant resources, achieving a win-win situation.

The people in Wei Yang's family have never done live broadcasts, but they still have to do some online work.

Especially Fan Xiaopang, who has to worry about the promotion of Perfect Diary, has posted many videos for advertising, especially on Douyin, Weibo, and Xiaohongshu, with a frequency of almost 2 to 3 times, which is even more diligent than the one on duty.

Moreover, Fan Xiaopang was also the first one among the group to consider live streaming at home.

The team has already started designing live broadcast scripts, selecting products and related preparations for her.

However, due to the lockdown in Yunhua Mansion, Fan Xiaopang did not want outsiders to see the condition of her home, so the team could only send some samples and equipment, as well as remote technical support, and she had to handle everything else by herself.

Fortunately, this is not Fan Xiaopang’s first time doing live broadcast, so he is experienced and feels that these configurations are sufficient.

However, just as Fan Xiaopang was getting ready to start the live broadcast, Yunhuafu's live debut was preempted by Liu Shishi.

The ancient Greek god in charge of interception!
Wei Yang's comment that a weak character can turn into a powerful one is not groundless, but the indifferent Liu Shishi always gives people surprises at critical moments.

But to be honest, Liu Shishi might have been intentional in her previous interception, but this time she really did it unintentionally.

She doesn't have any business, doesn't want to sell goods, has no interest in live streaming, and naturally doesn't care about competing for the first broadcast.

There were certain accidental factors that enabled us to intercept Fan Xiaopang this time.

At the beginning of this year, Tangren launched a costume TV series about time travel to the Qing Dynasty, titled "Dream Back to the Qing Dynasty", which was later renamed "Dream Back".

This drama is adapted from the ancient Qing Dynasty novel "Dream Back to the Qing Dynasty". The story is still the same, a modern girl travels back to the Qing Dynasty and meets a prince and falls in love with him.

However, the male lead changed from the eighth and fourth brothers, who had played the leading roles more often before, to the thirteenth brother, who had always played the supporting role.

Of course, this kind of theme usually involves a love triangle, and the one competing with Old Thirteen for the female lead is Old Fourteen.

Even a fool can see that this drama is just a remake of the hit "Startling by Each Step" by Tangren, which has not been doing well in recent years. So how is the quality of this drama?

Let me put it this way, everyone knows the relationship between Tangren and Blue Whale. In recent years, Tangren's dramas have been good and bad, but they have basically all been launched on PPTV, and the cooperation between the two parties is quite pleasant.

But this movie "Dream Back" actually reached a cooperation with Penguin for the first time.

It is conceivable that given the relationship between Boss Wei and Lao Cai, plus Liu Shishi's matchmaking, and the relationship and friendship between the two sides for so many years, if this drama could come up with a few remarkable advantages, PPTV would not give it to its rival Penguin Video.

PPTV didn’t want it, but Penguin was a big company with a lot of assets, and they were attracted by the hype of the “new “Startling by Each Step”” and were willing to take a gamble.

By the way, they also started spreading rumors that Tangren and Blue Whale had broken up, in an attempt to disgust Boss Wei and PPTV.

It's no wonder that there are quite a few credible rumors like this. Some people even muttered that Boss Wei has become rich and forgotten his old kindness.

In fact, this statement is totally unreasonable. Tangren and Lao Cai did promote Boss Wei in the past, but over the years, Tangren has been following behind Blue Whale to reap the benefits.

In this time and space, Tangren is still considered a second-tier film and television company. Although it has some difficulties and embarrassment, it is much better than the half-dead state in the previous life.

Even if Lao Cai had done Wei Yang a favor, Boss Wei had already repaid him. Now it is Tangren and Lao Cai who should thank Boss Wei for his support and help.

Boss Wei is too lazy to pay attention to these little noises. There are so many people slandering him online, and he has no time to respond to them all.

But Tangren dared not to be negligent. This time it was because PPTV did not want them, so they had no choice but to cooperate with Penguin. In their hearts, they still support the Blue Whale series, and they will have to rely on Boss Wei for their livelihood in the future.

Boss Wei can ignore it, but the Tang people cannot remain indifferent.

So Tangren’s official Weibo account issued a statement condemning the rumors, and Lao Cai also said on his personal Weibo that Penguin was just cooperating normally, and that some people had sinister intentions and were trying to sow discord.

In addition to refuting the rumors, Tangren also contacted Liu Shishi, hoping that she would come forward as well.

In fact, it would be best if Boss Wei came forward, but the Tang people couldn't invite him.

Now that Boss Wei is the richest man in the country, he is very busy with his daily affairs. Even Old Cai doesn't dare to disturb him easily. If there is anything, he has to go through Liu Shishi, the middleman.

In contrast, Liu Shishi is a shareholder of Tangren. Although her studio has become independent, it has not separated from Tangren. Many people still consider her to be the number one actress of Tangren.

Everyone knows the relationship between Liu Shishi and Boss Wei. If she comes out and interacts with Tangren to clarify, some rumors will collapse on their own.

Since this concerns the development of Tangren and the reputation of Boss Wei, Liu Shishi naturally would not refuse.

The Weibo post was a bit simple, and Lao Cai had some other ideas, so he persuaded Liu Shishi to start a live broadcast of a gathering of Tangren artists.

Liu Shishi and Hu Ge, two top-tier stars, led the cast, and also invited Yuan Hong and Jin Chen, who had left Tangren but had a good relationship with them.

In addition, there are Tangren's new generation pillars Han Dongjun and Chen Yao, as well as the newcomer who is currently being promoted and the heroine of "Dream Back" Li Landi, as well as several other backbone forces and good seedlings.

It can be seen that Lao Cai has his own ambitions for this live broadcast.

Clarifying the rumors is only part of it. In fact, as long as Boss Wei doesn't believe it, it's fine. What Tangren wants to do more is to make a gesture.

So the main purpose of this live broadcast is to bring back memories of Hu, Liu, and Yuan.

It reminded the audience and netizens of Tangren’s glorious “The Legend of Sword and Fairy 3” and “Startling by Each Step”, and allowed the company and even several artists to carry out a wave of successful marketing.

In addition, by taking advantage of this traffic, these backbones and newcomers can show their faces and even indirectly promote several of Tangren’s current projects.

Don’t underestimate this as just a live broadcast. Stirring up emotions is always one of the best tactics.

At this stage, the domestic entertainment industry produces limited excellent works each year, and classic old dramas become popular again every year. More importantly, the little kids who used to sit on small stools with runny noses watching TV have grown up to become the main force of the Internet.

For the TV shows and characters that they liked to watch when they were young, they have a lot of beautiful childhood filters.

The so-called memory killing is not about the plot and characters, but about the youth and oneself that can never return.

Therefore, this kind of heavy-duty nostalgic joint gathering, if handled well, can be enough to make an artist popular again, or even promote one or two important projects.

The best examples are the variety show "Ace vs. Ace" which stirs up childhood feelings and the endless resurgence of actors from old dramas on Douyin.

Moreover, for the Tang people, even if the best effect cannot be achieved, it is not in vain as long as there is a certain degree of popularity, since it does not require much effort anyway.

So, without Fan Xiaopang knowing, Liu Shishi started her live broadcast debut in her room at the agreed time.

Before this, Liu Shishi had never done a live broadcast alone. She didn't know much about it and didn't attach much importance to this live broadcast.

Even if Lao Cai had explained it to her, in Liu Shishi's view, it was nothing more than clarifying the rumors, and then having a video chat with a few old friends, or at most helping to introduce a few new people.

So, Liu Shishi sat in front of the dressing table in the bedroom and started a live broadcast with just her mobile phone.

She originally thought that she was pretty sloppy, but she never expected that Hu Ge was even worse than her.

At least Liu Shishi changed her clothes, put on makeup, and made herself stand straight before the live broadcast. She also checked the network and had headphones ready.

Hu Ge, on the other hand, didn't even wash his hair. He started the show with sleepy eyes and a mouth full of stubble.

Liu Shishi: "..."

But she is not particularly strange. Those who are familiar with Hu Ge know that this guy is very rough in private, and he does not hide it. Occasionally, he even posts ugly photos of himself on Weibo, and his fans are all disgusted by this.

Many people say that the more handsome a guy is, the more sloppy and unruly he tends to be in private, and he lets himself go. Because he is handsome enough, he would like to try out what it is like to be an ordinary person and ugly.

Liu Shishi was particularly grateful that although Boss Wei was also a super handsome guy, he still paid attention to his image in private.

I’m not going to say how exquisitely she dresses herself every day, but at least she looks clean and refreshing, and with her extraordinary temperament, she is still pleasing to the eye.

If Boss Wei was as sloppy and untidy as Hu Ge every day, wasting his handsome face, she would feel that she had lost a lot by arguing with Zhao and Fan.

After a while, Yuan Hong also came online. He was in much better condition than Hu Ge. Although he also had a beard, he had it trimmed, and his clothes and hairstyle were also in place.

Liu Shishi and Lao Cai nodded with satisfaction.

In fact, Yuan Hong is not much better than Hu Ge in private. His current appearance is probably due to the efforts of his second sister Zhang Xinyi.

This shows the advantage of having a wife. At least she can control the husband a little. Even if the husband wants to let himself go, the wife still has to save face. Who wants others to think that their husband is "ugly"?

Afterwards, Han Dongjun, Jin Chen and Chen Yao also came online.

Compared to the successful Tangren Sanbao, the rising few obviously attached more importance to this live broadcast. It was obvious that their equipment configuration and image management were carefully prepared.

No matter what, Liu Shishi has the foundation, her image is not bad, and her temperament is very good.

So even though she was not well prepared, she still managed to suppress Jin and Chen, whose looks were not particularly outstanding, and maintained her reputation as the number one female star in the company.

However, Hu Ge, the boss of the company who disabled himself, was obviously suppressed by Han Dongjun. However, Hu Ge did not care about it. He even found a pair of rustic myopic glasses. Once he put them on, he looked several years older.

Lao Cai felt a little tired, but there was nothing he could do about this gentleman, and this kind of genuine unruly nature was also Hu Ge's "characteristic".

Compared to the new generation of traffic stars who live like fake people, many netizens like this kind of unpretentious "diaosi style" big star, and think he is more down-to-earth.

During the time of waiting for debugging, the live broadcast room has begun to be flooded with viewers, and the barrage of comments and messages have been scrolling so fast that they are almost invisible.

Lao Cai, the guest host, directed the team behind the scenes to control the situation and began to guide everyone to chat.

This party did not have a clear theme, but it had a general process.

The first part is mainly for old friends to chat, share their recent situation or interesting things about wearing masks at home, and then let the newcomers in, help them to identify their faces, and finally interact with netizens, come back to answer questions or connect with lucky fans.

Except for Han Dongjun and Chen Yao, who I interact with less frequently, the rest are all acquaintances.

Although Jin Chen is not of the same generation as Tangren Sanbao, she joined the company relatively early. At that time, Liu Shishi, Hu Ge and others often took her out to play, and she also knew how to behave, so the relationship between them was pretty good.

In fact, normally speaking, if they could invite Jin Chen, who had already left, then the other male star who left Tangren should have been invited as well.

Unfortunately, due to some of his previous "audience-cheering" behaviors, he has now become unpopular, and Tangren and Lao Cai dare not invite this controversial figure.

It would have been fine if Hu Ge and the others had helped to speak up, but they were condemned by netizens. Liu Shishi had a very bad impression of this person.

Because of Boss Wei, Liu Shishi has a slightly higher tolerance for men's cheating, but domestic violence is beyond her bottom line.

When this person got into trouble, many artists from the Tangren family expressed their support, but Liu Shishi, the top star, was strangely silent. She only said in an interview that she made a phone call, which shows her attitude.

Even with that phone call, Liu Shishi only wanted to confirm whether it was true or false. If someone was wrongly accused, she would help.

But the other party's answer was hesitant and full of loopholes. Liu Shishi also knew it. After that phone call, the two had no contact again. Even if Lao Cai didn't care about the dispute, he couldn't ignore Liu Shishi's thoughts.

With the guidance of Lao Cai, Hu Ge, Yuan Hong and Jin Chen are all lively and dare to speak and chat.

Even though Liu Shishi was relatively introverted, Chen Yao and Han Dongjun did not dare to act unbridled due to their seniority, but under the influence of a few others, they gradually relaxed a little.

Everyone is under lockdown now. Some are in hotels, some are in their hometowns, and some are in Shanghai.

Boredom was everyone's condition, and there was also a lack of supplies.

Especially Jin Chen, the hotel she stayed in only provided three meals a day, and the food was not even tasty, making her feel depressed every day.

"Sister, how are you doing?"

how about it?
Liu Shishi thought about it and said, "There is no shortage of food, and it is not boring. There are people to talk to every day. The atmosphere is very lively. When we are happy chatting, we will go to the audio-visual room to watch action movies together. It is very exciting..."
