Chapter 82 Sincerity Expiration
The chance encounter in the recording studio was just a minor incident.
Since Wang Zhi has already secured this card, there's no need to rush.
Right now, there are two most important things: the post-production of "Old Boys" and the domain name.
Back in his studio, Ren Pingsheng logged directly into the eName backend and removed privacy protection for weibo.cn and weibo.com.cn, making the seller information completely public.
The meaning is clear: the countdown has begun, so those who want to buy should act quickly.
Because he knew that waiting for the right price in front of giants was a skill.
If the timing isn't right, the other party won't be in a hurry; if the timing is right, the other party will turn hostile.
Zhang Chaoyang's patience is limited, and Cao Guowei's tolerance also has its limits. If people are really pushed to the limit, they can simply change the category and reshuffle the board. In that case, Weibo will just be a bunch of digital garbage.
So we have to be quick.
While the various platforms are still engaged in fierce competition, while no one has an absolute advantage, and while these three domain names are still the key variables that determine the outcome.
Ren Pingsheng shut down the backend and set a deadline for himself.
The deal must be completed within one month.
Meanwhile, the magical dramas in the entertainment industry have never stopped.
Jiangsu TV's "If You Are the One" has been airing for over a month. Although the script was forced to be drastically altered because Ren Pingsheng had already taken the classic line "I'd rather cry in a BMW" from the web series, the show's production team has been working on it.
But creating buzz is never a challenge for television professionals.
In the latest episode, when faced with a male guest who talked about "love above all else and sharing joys and sorrows" on stage, female guest Ma Nuo pressed the light-off button without hesitation and then uttered a statement that shocked the whole country.
"A man's sincerity may expire, but a name on a property deed will not. I'd rather grow old alone in a 200-square-meter apartment than experience love in a 10-square-meter rented room."
These words instantly ignited public opinion.
"Is this woman crazy? She's genuinely looking for a partner, and she's talking about property deeds?"
"Well said! Marrying for love still boils down to the mundane realities of daily life. My sister has a clear understanding of life."
"Clear-sighted my foot! That's called materialism!"
"So what if you're materialistic? Are you capable of buying a 200-square-meter apartment? If you can't, don't blame others for looking down on you."
On Tianya, Tieba, and Weibo, there are arguments everywhere about gold diggers.
The men angrily condemned the decline of morality, while the women secretly nodded in agreement.
Mano became an overnight sensation, and the ratings for "If You Are the One" skyrocketed, directly topping the national charts for its time slot.
Ren Pingsheng smiled as he scrolled through the overwhelming barrage of insults and discussions online.
The harsher the criticism, the more money you make – that's the nature of the internet age.
Mano's rise to fame is essentially aimed at the same group of people as "Old Boys".
The difference is that Mano poked at their wounds, while "Old Boys" offered a band-aid.
Let Mano tear open his wound first, and then release "Old Boys" when the audience can't bear the pain anymore.
The timing was perfect.
……
While some are creating anxiety, others are selling sentimentality.
Just yesterday, Sohu Video announced the launch of its annual "Youth Season" self-produced drama project.
Filming for his first project, "Adolescence," is about to begin.
The press release was written in a grand and respectable style, with phrases like "in-depth analysis of the confusion and rebellion of contemporary young people."
However, the accompanying picture of the female lead with her prominent cleavage and school skirt shortened to the upper thigh clearly revealed the film's true nature.
Clearly, after learning from the failure of "Loser 2", Alex has completely let loose and directly raised the banner of "softcore pornography plus nostalgia" to harvest traffic with the most primal hormones.
Ren Pingsheng had to admit that although this tactic was shameless, it was effective.
In 2010, internet regulation was still in its infancy, with outrageously broad regulations.
A film like "Puberty" is guaranteed to be watched if it's made; the short-term viewership will definitely be good.
"Ping Sheng, Souhu is clearly trying to challenge us," Bai Ke said, pointing at the news on the screen, somewhat indignantly. "What kind of nostalgia is this? Isn't this just using youth as a pretext to promote pornography?"
"Who cares what they're up to," Ren Pingsheng said without looking up, his hands still busy operating the editing software. "As long as they don't mess with us, that's fine. Let's go over the noise reduction of this audio again. Da Peng's high notes aren't emotionally charged enough."
Bai Ke opened his mouth, then swallowed back the words he was about to say and turned to adjust the audio.
Ren Pingsheng didn't look up, but he knew exactly what was going on in his mind.
"Puberty" may have attracted attention for a while with its explicit scenes, but after the initial hype, all that was left was a mess.
If I remember correctly, the directive from the top leader to "resist vulgarity, obscenity, and vulgarity" is coming soon.
But "Old Boys" is different.
People who read this will cry, and after crying, they will share it, and when they share it, they will write down their own stories.
Every repost is a free secondary dissemination, and every story will resonate with more people of the same age.
This kind of viral spread cannot be achieved by skirting the rules.
So he wasn't afraid of "Puberty" at all, and even hoped that Alex would push the boundaries even further and arouse the desires of everyone online.
When they finish watching "Puberty," and their desires subside, a sense of emptiness washes over them...
The movie "Old Boys" has just been released.
Seamlessly connecting physiological needs with emotional needs.
Alex was doing foreplay for him, but he didn't even realize it.
……
For the next week, Ren Pingsheng practically lived in his studio.
The post-production of "Old Boys" has entered the most crucial stage of film re-production.
He personally oversaw every step, from color grading and sound effects synthesis to music arrangement and subtitle proofreading.
This isn't a comedic short film like "Report to the Boss," where you can be rough around the edges or be careless. This forty-minute short film requires every frame to withstand repeated viewing.
Ren Pingsheng lowered the saturation and added a light warm yellow filter, making the image look like footage dug out from an old DV camera.
"Brother Pingsheng, how do we add the credits at the end of the film?" Xiao Ai asked from the side.
Ren Pingsheng stopped what he was doing and thought for a moment.
"Add the names of everyone who participated, and also add a separate line."
"Add what?"
"Dedicated to MJ and everyone who accompanied us through our youth, and to the self that will never return."
Xiao Ai paused for a moment, then lowered her head to write it down in her notebook without saying a word.
The studio was quiet for a few seconds, with only the computer fans humming.
Ren Pingsheng looked at the screen. Dapeng and Bai Ke were standing in the center of the stage, with the lights shining on them. The audience seats below were empty, with only a few people sitting there.
He breathed a sigh of relief.
It became.
All that's left is to wait for the right moment to throw it out.
Just then, my phone vibrated.
Xinlang, Wang Gaofei.
The tone on the other end of the phone was much more urgent than last time.
"Mr. Ren, Mr. Cao's idea is to package the three domain names together for a fixed price of 30 million."
