Cultivate a male god: After listening to persuasion, I became a top-notch

Chapter 548 Brother, take a cut first!
During the days when Li Youzhi was preparing for his new film, the netizens who were interested in Leziren were not idle at all.

There are still four months to go until the Oscars ceremony, which is the time when movie fans around the world will begin discussing the winners of this year's Oscars - to be more precise, it is just the beginning.

As the topic of the Oscars was heating up, Lindemann's announcement pushed Li Youzhi to the opposite side of global movie fans, becoming the first marketing hotspot of the Oscars this year - a reverse hotspot.

In order to defend Li Youzhi, the fans have been facing enemies from all sides on the Internet these days, and have been in fierce confrontation with international fans led by Koreans, and they are very busy every day.

As for the suggestions given to Li Youzhi before, everyone has long forgotten them!
And now, looking at the group of "monsters" in the photo in Li Youzhi's latest update, the netizens of Leziren... were completely dumbfounded;

"No... what are these things in your photo, bro?"

"Hiss~ I seem to have seen some of these faces of magical species before. I especially remember the pervert standing in the center, who once played the cute yellow-haired girl Usagi Tsukino at the evening party of the Tongchen Society of the Agricultural University... At this moment, just like at that moment, this guy couldn't be the deputy general manager of Heguang Culture, my fierce brother in society?!"

"Zhao! @Tingquan Xiaoge Li Youzhi, what the hell is going on? Why did the big guys from Heguang Culture suddenly become like this? My impression of these guys from Heguang Culture is still stuck on the time when they played the devils in Rongdian. Can anyone tell me what happened?!"

Beep!

"..."

Li Youzhi in the waiting room blinked as he looked at the question marks that instantly boiled up in the comment section below the latest developments, as well as the system's amazing value credit notification that popped up in front of him.

It’s not you bunch of scum…it was clearly you who came up with the suggestion?
Didn't you say that you wanted Zhige to form a neat team that stands at T0 in the American social version, stack up the buffs to put pressure on those arrogant white masters on the Oscar selection committee?
Did Zhige understand it wrong?

Thinking of this, Li Youzhi silently took a screenshot of the suggestions made by netizens before, forwarded it to the comment section... and manually pinned it to the top!

“…I suggest changing the gender to a heterosexual female homosexual or a plastic bag from Wal-Mart, hahahaha…”

"...I suggest that you ask the employees of Heguang Culture to change their gender to armed helicopters..."

In the dynamic comment area, seeing the several screenshots pinned by Li Youzhi, the netizens were completely stunned!

"Fuck! Ah Zhen, are you serious? Even an idiot can see that we are joking, right?!"

"No, brother, I'm just saying that sometimes you really don't need to listen to advice like that... It's been three years, and you still can't tell what's a joke and what's real advice? These are obviously just some idiots playing with jokes, okay? Please, let these poor kids like He Guang Tong Chen go, look at them, do they still look like human beings? [Sad face][Cover face.jpg]"

"The one in front... I think this matter has little to do with me. Look at these perverts in the photo. They don't look forced at all... From their perverted smiles, you can tell that they are really enjoying this perverted feeling, bastards!"

"No, Cou, this version is too exciting for me. Brother, you guys should just play the Japanese. Although you guys looked lewd when you played the Japanese, at least my heart didn't twitch when I watched it. This one made my heart skip a beat, Cou!"

"I can't stand it anymore... Every second I look at this wave is a torture to my spirit. Brother, I'm warning you, when you go to the United States to film this time, you'd better say that you are a Korean team... Otherwise, I will be too embarrassed to go abroad in the future! Woo..."

"I hereby officially declare that the perverted behavior of Heguang Culture is only the personal behavior of the company's internal personnel, and has nothing to do with the majority of Heguang Culture's fans! As for all the consequences and impacts caused by these perverts going abroad, I will never take the blame!"

"..."

Li Youzhi grinned as he looked at the comments section filled with comments from Leziren shareholders who were eager to separate their image from Heguang Culture.

Tsk,

Look at you guys, you're doing this again.

It was you who made the suggestion, and now it is you who are in a hurry to distance yourself from the matter... You really have no sense of responsibility at all!

Scumbag!

Silently despising the idiot who went back on his word, Li Youzhi put away his phone and set his eyes on Tu Susu beside him.

Li Youzhi raised his eyebrows as he looked at Tu Susu, who was wearing noise-canceling headphones, lying quietly on the massage chair and waiting, looking extremely well-behaved.

During this period, he had too many things to do and was too busy with business, so he didn't make much progress in training Assistant Tu. But what surprised Li Youzhi was that... this time, Tu Susu had no resistance to following him to the United States to film!
You want to know what kind of person Tu Susu is?
Too lazy to bubble!

Ask her to do something, and often a bunch of complaints and sarcasm will come before she even starts.

Now, seeing the girl's abnormal attitude, Li Youzhi leaned over;
"Hey? Susu, why do you seem a little weird lately?"

(ˇˇ)
Tu Susu was obviously startled when Li Youzhi suddenly came up to her.

"What, what's strange? What's strange about me..."

"..."

You are weird now...

Looking at Tu Susu, who was like a frightened little rabbit, covering her chest but not cursing madly, Li Youzhi was speechless for a moment.

If it were in the past, you would have gone berserk if you were suddenly startled.

"Tsk, I can't put it into words, it's just a feeling...your recent emotions, your behavior, it's just a feeling, how should I put it... um..."

After organizing his words in his mind, Li Youzhi suddenly had an idea.
"She's as obedient as a young lady who was sold to a brothel and accepted her fate... Susu, did I do something right recently that made you feel good about me? That's why you're so obedient? It feels like... you've become gentler."

? ? ? ? ?

Listening to Li Youzhi's shameless words and looking at his serious face, Tu Susu could no longer hold back.

Listen to what you are saying, are you talking like a human being?!

I felt that I was too harsh to you before, and that I was too willful, so I became a little nicer and more obedient, and now you say this?
If you hadn't gone to TKTK to pick up girls every day these days, as a mature frog mother, I would be worried that you would be hooked up by those slutty bitches because of lack of love. Who likes to become like this, bastard!
(`^)
Tu Susu took a deep breath and just about to explode, he slowly exhaled the air in his chest.

(ˊˋ*)
"Really? Hahahaha... Maybe you didn't arrange any specific work for me during this period, so my life is more relaxed and comfortable, I don't have the work pressure in my heart, and my endocrine system is more coordinated, hahaha... By the way, President, this flight is quite long, I bought a lot of snacks, can we eat them on the way? I don't know what flavor you like, so I bought some of each type, spicy, slightly spicy... If you are bored, just ask me."

(￣┏∞┓￣)
Seeing Tu Susu opening her bag like she was presenting a treasure, and seeing a pile of snacks inside, Li Youzhi pursed his lips and looked extremely alert.

No, no,

This attitude is definitely not the Tu Susu I know.

There are evil people who want to harm me!

Beside him, Tu Susu felt numb as he watched the vigilance and alertness slowly appear on Li Youzhi's face.

What the hell!

Didn’t the three military advisors in the dormitory say that the way to capture a man’s heart is to first capture his stomach?

But this expression of fear of being poisoned...what the hell is this! ?

This is different from what the military advisors said, it’s different!!!

……

It takes exactly fifteen hours to get from Shanghai Airport to Los Angeles International Airport.

I used the time on the plane to adjust to the jet lag, and after arriving in Los Angeles and reuniting with a group of rebellious people, I took a nap. It was exactly morning in Los Angeles local time.

Li Youzhi, who had completely recovered from the jet lag, was truly fully revived.

Although Li Youzhi is in China these days, the preparations for shooting "Parasite" have already begun under the management of Wang Hui and Su Bona.

Including the decoration of the shooting location and the rental of some equipment that was inconvenient to bring from China, this has been almost settled through Su Bona's relationship. For director Li Youzhi, there is not much work to do at this stage.

After all... a group of rebellious people do not have such incredible adjustment abilities as himself. Team members including Liu Meng have been struggling to adjust to the time difference in the past two days.

Li Youzhi is not in a hurry to start filming "Parasite".

In fact, apart from some buff changes added to the script this time, the story of "Parasite" itself is still relatively simple, and there are relatively few scenes shot.

Take the filming location, for example, which costs the most. The main places that Parasite needs to rent are the "poor people's basement" where the protagonist Ki-woo's family lives, and the "rich mansion" where the main story takes place.

In Hollywood, this kind of typical filming location is not difficult to find.

After Wang Hui, Subona and Li Youzhi inspected the rented venue and finalized the filming and decoration plan, Li Youzhi handed over this detailed work to Wang Hui.

He himself went directly to the TKTK headquarters in Los Angeles. Upon learning that he was coming to the United States to film, Xu Haonian had called him a week in advance and told Li Youzhi to make a trip to TKTK after arriving.

At around 3:00 p.m., Li Youzhi arrived downstairs of TKTK's American headquarters building in a business nanny car temporarily rented by Subona in Los Angeles.

Li Youzhi had just explained his appointment and purpose to the security guard in the lobby on the first floor when he heard the sound of rapid leather footsteps.

"Alright, alright, why bother making an appointment? Come here quickly. You said you were coming to America, but I waited for you for over a week before you left. Now you didn't even come over to say hello!"

Standing in the hall, Li Youzhi was happy to see Xu Haonian, who was wearing a custom-made suit and looked much more energetic than in China, but had visibly blue eye bags and was obviously suffering from severe lack of sleep in recent times.

"Brother Xu, this is not my fault. You have a business position at TKTK here, so it's convenient for you to enter the country. I'm engaged in cultural work, and the agency blocked my entry for five or six days. Besides, I just finished arranging the crew's affairs and came to see you. You still have the ability to find fault with me?"

After being given a bear hug by Xu Haonian in front of a group of American employees, Li Youzhi carefully looked at the new president of TKTK who was "kidnapped" by him to the United States.

"My goodness, Brother Xu has been staying up late recently! The bags under his eyes have drooped down. You are middle-aged now, you can't compare with us young people, you have to pay attention to maintenance!"

Beep!
Received the amazing value of [Resentment] added by Xu Haonian, 55 points...

"Stinky boy!"

After being teased by Li Youzhi, Xu Haonian punched him directly.

Realizing that there were too many people on the first floor, he waved his hand and started complaining in Chinese while taking Li Youzhi to the elevator.

"I want to maintain my appearance, but how can I maintain my appearance after coming to this shabby place and taking over this business? There are so many bad things every day, you don't know... Now I have to make a report every week in China to report on the growth of TKTK's platform business and the stock market performance. I also have to attend hearings from time to time and play witty remarks with those white bureaucrats. Wen Ting, this little bitch, is now the chief legal officer, and she is just playing badly, waiting to see me laugh! It's all your fault. If you hadn't set up this, I would have eaten five oysters and a cup of wolfberry a day in China, and I don't know how strong my body would be! If it weren't for this, I would have been ready to have a second child!"

Under the guidance of Xu Haonian, they walked into the special elevator for high-rise buildings. When Li Youzhi heard Xu Haonian's complaints, he couldn't help laughing.

But I can only have fun...

After all, Xu Haonian's coming to the United States was really his own fault, so he should bear the responsibility. "Damn it, if you say you are just busy, it would be fine. But here I have no private life, and I don't even have anyone to talk to. If you don't come again, I will think of asking your sister-in-law to leave the child to the elderly at home and come to talk to me!"

Leading Li Youzhi all the way to the CEO's office on the top floor, Xu Haonian's nagging finally came to an end.

After bringing Li Youzhi a cup of coffee, Xu Haonian sat down on the large leather sofa and pointed at Li Youzhi.

"Okay, just talk about me. Xiaozhi, I know about the ups and downs between you and Oscar a few days ago. What are your thoughts this time? Do you really want to film peacefully, or do you want to stir up some trouble in the United States to make Oscar more troubled?"

Or maybe they are gay!
In response to Xu Haonian's question, Li Youzhi laughed.

As expected, the one who was coaxed over from China was the one who was very close to him, and she saw through Zhige’s intention at a glance!

What is the purpose of making "Parasite" this time?
Isn't it just to liven up the Oscars and give some strength to the American film and television industry?

However, before Li Youzhi could speak, Xu Haonian put down his coffee cup and pointed.

"Forget it, there's no need for me to ask. With your temper, you must have had no good intentions when you came to the United States this time. I saw the updates you posted on Douyin in China. Look at what your classmates are doing. They look like they're going to fight Hollywood. I don't know what your new film is about, but I know it's going to be more explosive than Buried. I told you to come over as soon as you land. This is what I want to tell you."

When it came to serious matters, Xu Haonian sat up slightly straighter.

"I don't care what bad intentions you have, just hold off on it for now. After all, TKTK has now opened up the user data channel with Wako Audiovisual, and our cooperation is no longer a secret in the United States. In addition, Buried Alive has now been added to TKTK's film and television push notifications, and is being promoted to TKTK users across the United States as the first free streaming movie."

Facing Xu Haonian's warning, Li Youzhi really didn't understand...

"Brother Xu, this isn't right. Our two companies are cooperating now. If I stir up trouble, won't it just create traffic for TKTK? Why am I just here and you're asking me to keep a low profile?"

"You know nothing!"

Seeing Li Youzhi's face full of dissatisfaction, Xu Haonian laughed and scolded, and explained;
"TKTK is facing great performance pressure now. The current attitude of the domestic group is to try to delay the acquisition of the TKTK platform by the United States. But if it cannot be delayed, the platform's stock price will be raised as much as possible, and strive to let the next buyer take over at the highest price. Even if this means losing the job, at least you can have a full meal. Apart from politics, the biggest topic in the cultural and entertainment field in the United States during this period is the Oscars, so we are discussing with the Oscars officials about the exclusive online live broadcast authorization of this year's awards ceremony."

At this point, Xu Haonian nodded at Li Youzhi and continued to smile;

"If you stir up trouble at this point in time, firstly, your status as a partner may bring uncertainty to TKTK's negotiation. Secondly...if we really come to an agreement, and you bring up some dirt on Oscar, then I will be the one who suffers, right?"

Minato,

So that's what happened.

Knowing that Xu Haonian's real intention in looking for him this time was to get him to give in first and create a stable environment for the cooperation negotiations between TKTK and Oscar, Li Youzhi frowned.

I was wondering why you were so eager to summon Brother Zhi. It turns out you are afraid that Brother Zhi may be too powerful and ruin your next plan!

I really thought you were thinking about Brother Zhi, but your emotions just now were all in vain!

Although he complained in his heart, Li Youzhi understood Xu Haonian's current situation.

"Tsk, Brother Xu, how are your talks going? I'm afraid the licensing fee for this exclusive Oscars ceremony won't be cheap, right?"

"Hi,"

Facing Li Youzhi's inquiries, Xu Haonian did not intend to hide anything. After all, TKTK and Heguang Audiovisual now have user data connected, and the two companies are strategic partners. There is no need to hide some commercial things from Li Youzhi.

"We have already given the authorization price, but we have not received a reply from the Oscar Organizing Committee yet. According to the prices quoted in previous years, this year TKTK is offering 500 million US dollars. I don't know if we can get it..."

"Seize the young master?"

When Li Youzhi heard the price Xu Haonian said, he was completely stunned.

Holy crap, an exclusive online live broadcast of the Oscars cost 500 million US dollars...more than 3 billion RMB?
This price is crazy!
The license for the live broadcast of the Spring Festival Gala, which is also held annually and has the highest traffic, is only about 1.2 to 1.3 billion yuan. The global audience of the Oscars is not as high as that of the Spring Festival Gala. Why are they still going to make a detour after the price has doubled?

Facing Li Youzhi's surprise, Xu Haonian smiled bitterly and spread his hands.

"It's outrageous, I think so too. But there's nothing we can do about it. It's to attract traffic and stimulate new user growth points and stock value for the platform. This is the market situation here. Actually, Oscar is not that outrageous."

Damn, this is so ruthless!
After hearing the inside stories told by Xu Haonian, Li Youzhi felt like he had been cut in the butt by a knife - his eyes were opened.

"Brother Xu, can you make the money back with such a high offer? Five hundred million US dollars... this is..."

"It's definitely a loss. With the placement of ads, the platform can only make more than 100 million US dollars in revenue. Taking into account the increase in new users and the increase in stock prices, it can only be said to be okay. If it is handled well, it can be settled."

tsk...

After taking a deep breath of cool air, Li Youzhi felt that his back teeth were not so itchy anymore.

Mom,

It's true that comparing yourself to others makes you feel pissed... Zhi Ge went through so much trouble, but he only earned less than 400 million RMB from the movie "Buried Alive".

As a result, the Oscars paid 500 million US dollars for a live broadcast license.

This is truly a world beyond my own cognition.

If we include the advertising revenue of the Oscars themselves, as well as other parts, such as licensing from traditional media and derivative cultural and creative revenues, wouldn't the Oscar organizers make a net profit of over 1 billion yuan after holding the event?
This money is so easy to make!
Jingle bell bell bell bell,

Just as Li Youzhi was thinking this, the phone on Xu Haonian's desk suddenly rang.

After making a gesture to Li Youzhi to wait a moment, Xu Haonian stood up and answered the phone.

Sitting on the sofa, Li Youzhi blinked as he watched Xu Haonian's expression change from smiling to serious.

It was not until Xu Haonian said "IKNOW" several times and hung up the phone that Li Youzhi, seeing that it was getting late, asked tentatively;

"Brother Xu, if you're busy, why don't I leave first? Can we talk again when you get off work in the evening?"

"It's okay, no need, it's nothing serious. It's still Oscar. The colleague who was in charge of contacting the Oscar Preparatory Committee just now said that they responded and said that they were not satisfied with our offer and asked us to raise our expectations."

hiss~~~~~~~
Hearing this, Li Youzhi felt a real toothache - he was so envious and jealous!

Damn, the licensing fee is 500 million, and they still don’t agree to raise the expectation... this appetite is really too big!

"No, Brother Xu. What we are saying is, do we have to get the Oscars live streaming license?"

"There's nothing we can do about it. For example, the Oscars, the NBA Finals, the NFL Super Bowl, these traditional American cultural and sports ceremonies are what online social platforms must compete for. If you don't win, other platforms will get it, which will threaten your traffic. In fact, the Oscars are not too outrageous. Last year, for the NFL Super Bowl, TKTK offered the NFL a price of 1 billion yuan. In the end, it actually spent 1.4 billion to win it."

"..."

After listening to the information revealed by Xu Haonian, Li Youzhi felt that his trip to the United States was a good decision.

It’s time to see the world!
In the past, I thought that revenue of tens of millions or even hundreds of millions was already amazing.

As a result, the business here is worth tens of billions of US dollars. If this deal is done, Zhige will get the SSS-level recommendation task of having a net worth of 10 billion!

With this daze of a frog in a well seeing the sky, Li Youzhi chatted absentmindedly with Xu Haonian for a while, and then made an appointment to have dinner together the next night and left the TKTK headquarters.

This trance even lasted for the entire night.

Even after Li Youzhi had exhausted his energy in the hotel gym and returned to his room, his mind was still dominated by Xu Haonian's arrogant offer of "five hundred million US dollars".

Lying on the bed, Li Youzhi felt as if he was bitten by bugs when he thought about the money Oscar had earned.

Damn it, Brother Zhi wants to make money with his real name!
Unable to sleep, Li Youzhi directly opened the Heguang Culture [U.S. Labor Dispatch Special Group], and without caring whether the group of unruly sons had adjusted to the time difference, he directly sent out 100 red envelopes with a total value of 1 yuan.

Beep!
Received an additional [Contempt] of amazing value, 3219 points!
With the notification of the system's amazing value being credited to his account, and seeing the complaints and inhumane scolding in the group, Li Youzhi finally felt a little more comfortable.

"Brothers and sisters, excavators, helicopters, 052Ds... I learned this afternoon that the licensing fee for the online broadcast of the Oscars is as high as million US dollars. I am so envious and jealous that I can't sleep. What should I do if I can't sleep? I'm looking for advice online!"

With the mentality that if I'm not having a good time, then everyone else shouldn't expect to have an easy life, Li Youzhi typed a paragraph of text and sent it to the group.

Liu Meng: "Fuck! Is this true? Is Oscar's IP so valuable?"

Wang Hui: "No... This is too outrageous, right? More than 3 billion RMB! For a live broadcast right? Is this Oscar made of gold or silver?"

Zhou Yuan: "Cou, Brother Zhi, why don't we stop filming? No, let's each buy a pair of stockings and an AK, and wait until the day of the Oscars to go directly to the venue to make a big splash. We have to make ten "Buried" to equal the revenue of one Oscar! Don't say you can't sleep, I can't sleep either!"

Tu Susu: "You're talking about gold, right? Giving out a few cents in red packets in the middle of the night? For a ceremony as prestigious as the Oscars, this price should be considered reasonable, right? If you feel envious, I suggest you start a film award yourself. Hold dozens of awards and attract tens of millions of viewers around the world. Maybe you can also earn hundreds of millions of dollars in licensing fees."

Beep!
Received a suggested task (organize a movie award yourself), the task difficulty is 5 stars, and you will get a C-level reward chest after completing it!
Wuhu?

Li Youzhi raised his eyebrows as he looked at the suggested tasks that were refreshed sarcastically by Assistant Sui Tu in front of him.

hiss~
That’s a good idea.

!

Suddenly thinking of something, Li Youzhi rolled over from the bed and opened his laptop.

After a frantic search, a burst of arrogant laughter came from its room.

next door.

Tu Susu, who was applying a facial mask on her face, put down her phone. Just when she was about to add some essence water to the mask, she heard a crazy laughter coming from next door.

“Wahahahaha…Tu Susu, I fucking love you to death! There are no rotten tomatoes in this world, no rotten tomatoes! This Hu, Zhige, I’ve decided!”

Hearing Li Youzhi's crazy voice, Tu Susu felt that the skin on her face under the mask was burning.

But suddenly, she frowned.

Rotten Tomatoes…?
What is that?
