Chapter 157 Is it useful to supplement your brain?

Su Hua, Mu Xiaofei, Liu Lei, Chen Hong and others each picked up a bottle of beer and clamored to compete in drinking capacity.

Since they were not in the same class, they each tried to compete secretly.

Seeing that the situation was still under control, Yang Xiao did not stop them, and just regarded it as releasing the pressure in his heart.

Maybe because it’s Saturday night, everyone is very happy.

Because this is one of the few times in the week when you can take a breath.

The 100-day countdown to the college entrance examination has already been made into a calendar and hung on the wall at the entrance, which is very eye-catching.

The papers were torn off day by day, the numbers on the wall decreased day by day, and they seemed to have an invisible burden on their hearts at all times.

Even students with poor academic performance like Liu Lei and Chen Hong cannot avoid this sense of urgency.

When the classmates around them are all studying hard, they feel embarrassed to openly daydream or chat in class and disturb others.

Yet all this.

The only exception is Yang Xiao.

Perhaps Luo Yao has become accustomed to his temper and no longer finds it strange.

But everyone present here is very envious of Yang Xiao's relaxed feeling.

So relaxing!

Is this what a senior high school student should have?
Mu Xiaofei couldn't help but ask, "Yang Xiao, the college entrance examination is getting closer and closer, and you're still skipping classes and asking for leave every now and then. Aren't you worried at all that you won't be able to get into college? Or do you just don't care?"

Hearing this, everyone looked at him, seemingly expecting what he would say next.

Zhu Yuelin and the others were well aware of Yang Xiao's skipping classes and asking for leave.

Because whenever Yang Xiao was at school, he would wait for Luo Yao at the corridor entrance after school and go home with her.

His reputation as the flower protector has long been spread throughout the school.

They approached Luo Yao with the reputation of childhood sweethearts, and as soon as school was over, they were always together, which made people envious and jealous!
Gradually, they also mastered a pattern.

If Luo Yao goes home alone one day.

There is no need to even think about it, Yang Xiao must have skipped class.

"Of course I will go to university, because I am very confident in my own grades. I can roughly guess which knowledge points I can master and how many points I can get. In fact, as long as I can get into my target university, I will be satisfied. It is useless to get more points."

Yang Xiao picked up a piece of blanched pig brain and put it into the bowl of Luo Yao who was sitting next to her.

Luo Yao frowned at first, then looked at Yang Xiao. With his encouraging nod, she took a sip and then smiled.

Then, Yang Xiao scooped out the last piece of brain from the pot with a slotted spoon, put it in his own oil dish, ate it in one bite, and then said with a smile:
"Besides, the college entrance examination is not that scary in my eyes. Even if we fail, our lives are not over. Everyone should relax a little, adjust their mentality and face the college entrance examination. Besides, most of you have better grades than me, right? I am not afraid, so what are you afraid of?"

After hearing this, everyone was silent. Having said that, it was difficult for them to be as open-minded as Yang Xiao.

However, Yang Xiao’s words were not useless. At least they gave them a lot of encouragement.

Except for Chen Hong and Liu Lei, two poor students who are hovering around the second-tier line.

For example, Su Hua, Zhu Yuelin, and the other three have good grades.

He is better than Yang Xiao and is a candidate with guaranteed admission into a 211 university. He can barely be considered a top student.

If they had gone to Yang Xiao's original class at Huicheng No. 3 Middle School, they would have easily been in the top three, and Yang Xiao had no idea what they were worried about.

If you really want to worry about it, you might as well worry about filling out the application form later.

For students like them with good grades, the points they worked hard to get throughout the semester might be lost in the application process.

Yang Xiao remembered that in his previous life, he had a roommate in a second-tier university who scored 80 points higher than him in the college entrance examination.

Although the provinces are different, in their provinces, they could have been admitted to a good first-class university.

The reason is that I blindly applied to a school that I was not qualified for.

And he was so ambitious that he chose not to accept the adjustment!

In the end, I was rejected by this second-tier university.

All those extra points in the college entrance examination and the hard work in the last year, weren’t they all wasted?

Thinking of this, Yang Xiao suddenly thought of Teacher Zhang Xuefeng in later generations.

Not only does it have a large amount of traffic, it also really speaks a lot of "wise words" to many students and parents, helping many people avoid many pitfalls.

Well. If I get involved in the live broadcast industry in the future, I might consider signing him.

Suddenly, a shocked and angry voice broke the quiet atmosphere.

"Damn it, where are the two brains I ordered? Why is there not one left?"

Liu Lei picked up the colander and scratched the pot for a long time with a frown.

"Stop looking for it, you've been stirring the pot with a colander for a long time. Aren't you annoyed? Besides, your brain won't be replenished no matter how much brain you eat." Chen Hong started to argue with him.

Chen Hong said angrily: "How are you better than me? Tell me, did you eat me?"

"Bullshit, who eats that stuff?"

Luo Yao held back her laughter and looked at Yang Xiao, the culprit. Yang Xiao also laughed and said, "It's okay, you can order two more."

When everyone heard this, they all started laughing, throwing away their previous worries and the atmosphere became lively.

The first season of "Diaosi Nanren" has been prepared and filmed in Yanjing in an orderly manner. Bai Wanqiu, the person in charge of short videos of Shiguang Culture Media, had already rushed to Yanjing with his people and several staff members of Tianma Media.

However, there was a change in the original lead actor.

Zhang Shaoyu was replaced!

It turned out that Yang Xiao asked Zhao Wanlin, a local from Yanjing, to help contact celebrity actors and select partners for the broadcasting platform when he was free.

Unexpectedly, he took the script directly to Yanjing.

Somehow, I got in touch with Zhang Chaoyang from Sohu.

It turned out that Zhao Wanlin went there to discuss the exclusive copyright, intending to solicit donations from many sources, and in the end the highest bidder would win.

I don’t know if it’s some inexplicable factors.

After reading it, Zhang Chaoyang actually expressed great interest in the script!
Not only did he immediately buy the exclusive broadcasting rights, he even wanted to make it Sohu's own self-produced drama and participate in it.

After Yang Xiao learned about it, he couldn't help but sigh. Although "Diaosi Nanzi" was released a year earlier, the gears of fate had been turning for a long time, but there had not been much changes!
So, he and Zhao Wanlin discussed it and agreed to Zhang Chaoyang's request.

Since Zhang Chaoyang is willing to invest, just sell it all to Sohu Video. Yang Xiao and Zhao Wanlin can just be the producer and half-producer and divide the money directly!

They even saved money on casting, and let Zhang Chaoyang, who was a face-conscious person, use his connections to do the job.

However, Zhang Chaoyang also put forward a condition.

That is, the male lead will be decided by them.

Yang Xiao had no choice but to agree.

It's been bought and turned into someone else's self-made drama. There's no need to ask him about the casting.

With this development, the male protagonist naturally fell into Dapeng's hands without any surprise.

Because Dapeng joined Sohu in 04 and hosted several Sohu talk shows, he can be considered an early veteran employee.

He was appreciated by Zhang Chaoyang a long time ago, and the two have a good relationship in private.

This wave can only mean that it is Dapeng’s turn to become extremely rich.

It’s really a matter of time and fate!
This is fine, since the show is bound to be a hit anyway, and we can just divide the money according to the contract.

Who knows what unexpected things might happen if Yang Xiao and Zhao Wanlin were to produce it.

Instead, it avoids a lot of uncertain variables and troubles.

However, Yang Xiao also put forward a condition.

Invite the production teams of Shiguang Culture Media and Tianma Media, as well as several artists to participate.

In that case, the staff in his company can gain some experience and learn from others.

Artists like Zhang Shaoyu, Lin Wantong, Wang Sulong, Benxi, and Xu Liang under its banner can also become familiar faces and run advertisements.

Yang Xiao even forced a plot for them.

Two non-mainstream people met in an Internet cafe. The girl was dancing to Audition and the spacebar made a loud clicking sound. The guy next to her couldn't stand it and started arguing with her.

The final contrast was that they discovered that they were actually the online dating partner they had agreed to meet.

It can be said that the comedy effects and jokes are well designed!
Talk about it.

The production of "Diaosi Nanshi" can be regarded as a rare highlight moment for Zhang Chaoyang's Sohu Video.

There are so many stars, most of whom took part in the show without asking for any pay for Zhang Chaoyang's sake. It is indeed a big production.

Of course, the results are also remarkable.

Every season that is broadcast, it ranks first in the number of hits on the annual online drama.

But that's it.

Because Sohu Video has been in a state of loss for a long time.

Apart from advertising, there is basically no profit, and the revenue from membership business is not high either.

As for its final ripple
They spent a huge amount of money to acquire the exclusive copyright of "One Piece" at that time, barely struggling to survive and forcibly extending its life.

Because copyright had not yet been fully standardized at that time.

You can find pirated videos everywhere.

The advertisements on pirated websites may not even be as many as those on Sohu!

Sohu’s lawyer’s letter was sent everywhere, but it had no effect.

Some users come to Sohu to read something and then just leave without even logging into their account!
No passers-by or visitors can stay at all!
Compared with the copyright fees, the meager advertising revenue brought in is far from enough to cover the expenses!
This wave of operations is a typical thankless task.

By the time the copyright market was truly established, some of Sohu's exclusive copyrights had expired.

In addition, the company was already suffering heavy losses at the time and had no more funds to purchase other copyrights.

As the situation became increasingly serious, the website began to gradually decline.

It can only be said that every step Zhang Chaoyang took was a wrong one.

Every penny spent has achieved twice the result with half the effort.
