The popular "Disappearing Trace" on the whole network, the members who ordered it in advance watched the ending within a week. These people really gave five-star praise, and a large number of viewers said; "This is the most exciting movie I have seen in recent years. suspense drama."

It’s just that many people don’t understand that Mr. Pei’s last drama "Folding Paper" made a lot of money, and the investment profit has doubled by as much as ten times. The premiere of the second "Disappearing Trace" is so popular. Why doesn't he continue to use the buyout method? How about paying to make a little more money?Advance on-demand can only make money for a small number of viewers who are willing to watch the ending in advance. Many viewers will wait an extra week to watch it for free. Isn't it a big loss?

In fact, the major platforms also have this doubt.After the two-week on-demand period, the whole network can see the ending...

Everyone discovered that the traffic of this drama suddenly started to skyrocket!

Since "The Disappearing Trace" ranked No.1 in the rating list of suspense dramas, the score as high as 9.5 has attracted a large number of viewers. This part of the audience does not like to spend money on watching dramas. They only watch the free version, and the next few episodes are only free. The advertising traffic of the version also made a lot of money.

After free, the number of broadcasts on the entire network has doubled several times compared to before.

With the income from advanced on-demand broadcasting and free advertising, Pei Shaoze earned much more money from this drama than "Folding Paper". All the platforms added up, and he made a net profit of 5 million... At first, he only invested 1000 million.

A 50-fold return ratio is really brutal!

The investors in the circle couldn't help being jealous when they heard this, and Cui Jue wanted to vomit his old blood - he failed to recover the cost of investing 1 million in dramas. As a result, Pei Shaoze's two 1000 million investment, small cost The web dramas produced have actually doubled their profits by more than ten times?At the company's shareholders' meeting at the end of the year, Pei Shaoze will definitely establish his prestige. Cui Jue sensed a strong sense of crisis and immediately began to prepare for a retreat.

Not long after, everyone heard another news——Pei Shaoze sent both "Folding Paper" and "The Lost Trace" to participate in the "Internet Drama Annual Ceremony" review.

Netizens suddenly realized that the reason why Mr. Pei's second drama is free is to attract viewers who only watch it for free, and to make the data of "Disappearing Traces" more attractive, so that they are eligible to compete for the "Most Popular Online Drama" award.

The review scores of the most popular online dramas are composed of several parts, with professional judges' scores accounting for 50%, and online click-through rate and online voting are also very important reference factors.As a result of being broadcast on all platforms and being free on the entire network, the data of "The Lost Trace" is quite good, and almost none of the competitors in this year's competition can threaten its status as the "most popular online drama".

This drama has firmly occupied No.1 in the rating list of online drama categories!

***

When the time comes to November, the online drama selection officially begins.

Pei Shaoze has carefully checked the important awards in the ABO world. In March and May every year, there are two award ceremonies for TV dramas; in the second half of the year, there is one award for movies and online dramas. Among them, the awards for online dramas are held on November 3. , co-hosted by several major video platforms.

After Pei Shaoze considered it, he selected Cheng Xiabao, who played Qin Nian in "Folding Paper", as the best newcomer award.

The newcomer award requires the first work of his debut, which is of great commemorative significance. Cheng Xia's first debut work is "Folding Paper". If he misses this time, it will be difficult for him to compete for the "newcomer award" in the future.Other "Best Supporting Actor" and "Best Actor", there will be more opportunities in the future, Pei Shaoze wants Cheng Xia to win all the awards in the entertainment circle, and at that time, he can make a special display cabinet at home to store the trophies.

In the past few days, Cheng Xia has finally finished filming all the commercials, and it's rare that he has free time.The manager's sister gave Cheng Xia a week's leave to let him have a good rest and prepare for the awards ceremony on November 11.

Cheng Xia, who is free, is going to go to the suburbs to look at houses.

Although his pay for the previous two dramas was not high, the results of the two dramas were good, and he got big red envelopes at the celebration banquet. In addition to the recent advertising endorsement fees, he now has nearly ten million deposits in his savings card.The ten newcomers in the same period did not earn as much as Cheng Xia alone.

The first pot of gold earned in life, Cheng Xia wants to buy something for the people she loves.

The place where my parents live now is the house they bought when they got married more than 20 years ago. The community is old, the decoration is outdated, and the environment is not very good.Cheng Xia decided to buy a beautiful new house for her parents. The suburbs of Rongcheng have been well developed in recent years, especially in Nanshan District, where there are complete supporting facilities such as supermarkets and hospitals, and there is also a large lake where you can go fishing and take a walk.

There are several newly opened well-decorated properties there, and you can move in directly with your bags.

Cheng Xia made an appointment with an agent to look at the house, chose a well-lit three-bedroom, two-living house, paid the full amount on the spot, and planned to let her parents move in during the Spring Festival this year.My mother is not in good health, and my father likes fishing very much. This community is very suitable for them to retire.The greening in the community is the same as the park, and the air is very fresh.The security is also in place, outsiders can't get in at all, and Cheng Xia doesn't have to worry about being followed by paparazzi when she goes home to visit relatives in the future.

The moment Cheng Xia signed the house purchase contract, Cheng Xia suddenly felt a sense of pride that "I'm so awesome, I can actually afford a house".

Housing prices in the suburbs are not high, and there are several million left after the purchase. Cheng Xia decided to prepare a birthday present for Brother Pei.

It will be Brother Pei's birthday in a few days. Apart from his parents, the person he loves the most in this world is Pei Shaoze.When it was his birthday, Pei Shaoze personally put together his favorite car model, Brother Pei's birthday... How about giving him a car?

Just send the sports car of the same model. In this way, they can be regarded as "couple models" cars, one big and one small.

After Cheng Xia made up his mind, he immediately went to the 4S store to buy a car, but the salesman told him: "Sir, there are only two of our limited-edition sports car Rongcheng left, and someone ordered an orange one a few days ago, you are lucky Nice to have this black one left!"

Cheng Xia felt a little regretful: "Can't you buy the orange one?"

The salesman smiled kindly: "I'm really sorry, the other party has already paid the full amount, and I will pick up the car tomorrow."

Cheng Xia carefully looked around the black sports car for a moment, he thought, Brother Pei has always been calm and low-key, driving an orange car is really not in line with his personality, black is also pretty cool.Anyway, it is the same style, but the color is different. If it doesn't work, it can be repainted later.

The salesman said: "There is only one left, may I ask you..."

Cheng Xia said bluntly, "I bought it!"

The feeling of swiping the card was very cool, and Cheng Xia paid and signed the contract on the spot.

He also spent some money to choose the license plate number, and finally chose "Rong A-P1123", P is Pei's initials, and 1123 is Brother Pei's birthday. It's easier to remember.

After buying presents for her parents and Brother Pei one by one, Cheng Xia thought about it, but there was nothing she wanted to buy, so she saved the rest of the money.

In the next few days, he had a rare vacation, so he stayed in the artist's apartment to read the script. Pei Shaoze had already said that next year Tianxuan Films would be established, and Cheng Xia could try to act in movies, so Zhou Yan found all the movie scripts recently.

Cheng Xia was very absorbed in reading the script, and soon came November 11th.

After eating at noon, Cheng Xia took a simple shower, went downstairs and followed the nanny car to the stylist's studio.There is an online drama awards ceremony tonight, so he has to dress more formally. Zhou Yan has already arranged the makeup and hair style for him. Cheng Xia just needs to sit in front of the mirror and cooperate obediently.

After tossing and tossing for an hour, the project was finally completed. Cheng Xia looked at himself in the mirror, and he dared not recognize it.

This is his first time wearing a suit.

I was used to loose sportswear before, but when I put on a suit, I always felt that my body was bound and I couldn't move my hands and feet, which was a bit awkward.But it must be admitted that suits do make the aura stronger.

Cheng Xia was already handsome, and with a suit and tie on his body, he was definitely a dazzling new star on the red carpet.

Zhou Yan looked at her boy with satisfaction, and praised: "You are so handsome, you seem to have grown up when you put on a suit."

Cheng Xia smiled and said, "I've grown up a long time ago."

Although it was only temporarily marked once by Pei Shaoze, Cheng Xia felt that he was already an Omega with "pheromone fusion experience", and he was only short of one more intimate communication with Alpha before becoming an "adult Omega".

Brother Pei is still very busy recently, it seems that he has no plans to take the initiative to make out with Cheng Xia, so Cheng Xia has no choice but to put his birthday plan on the agenda.

When the time comes, deliver the car and the "car" to the door, and see if Brother Pei will refuse.

***

At 7:[-] p.m., the awards ceremony began on time.

When Cheng Xia's nanny car was halfway, Zhou Yan suddenly received a call: "Hello, Mr. Pei...Okay, I understand!" She hung up the phone, turned to Cheng Xia and said, "The awards ceremony starts at 8 o'clock, Mr. Pei told us to arrive at the venue on time at 7:30."

At 7:30, the driver sent Cheng Xia to the edge of the red carpet.

The moment Cheng Xia got off the back seat, he saw a familiar black car parked beside him, and a tall Alpha got out of the car. Cheng Xia's eyes widened slightly, but Pei Shaoze came to Cheng Xia's side with a calm expression.

Both are wearing suits today.

Pei Shaoze is in a black suit with a dark blue tie, low-key and mature.Cheng Xia is wearing a white suit with a light blue tie, bright and dazzling.

They stood face to face, Pei Shaoze was half a head taller than Cheng Xia, the handsome and calm Alpha and the handsome and cute Omega, instantly detonated the attention of the audience at that moment.

This picture is too seductive, and the clothes of the two are a bit like "couple clothes".

Unexpectedly, Mr. Pei and Cheng Xia are such a good match standing together!

The fans around screamed wildly: "Ah, Xia Xia is so beautiful!" "Boss Pei is so handsome!"

There are also some fans who secretly fell in love with Pei Shaoze×Cheng Xia's CP, and privately commented, "They are a good match." "Mr. Pei didn't mark Xia Xia at the beginning, would he be tempted by Xia Xia?" "I don't accept Xia Xia and Xia Xia. Other Alphas fall in love, but if it's Mr. Pei, I can!"

Cheng Xia was excited and said with a smile: "What a coincidence, we arrived together."

Pei Shaoze lowered his voice: "Unfortunately, I did it on purpose."

To everyone's surprise, Mr. Pei, who had always been indifferent, suddenly smiled lightly at this time. His smile was so shallow that it didn't even reach his eyes. The corners of his lips slightly raised a small arc, and then he made a gesture towards Cheng Xia. Inviting gesture, say: "Let's go together?"

Cheng Xia's heart was pounding, and she nodded: "Okay."

Pei Shaoze took a step forward, Cheng Xia followed behind him, and the two walked forward side by side.

There were media reporters everywhere on both sides of the red carpet, the flashes were crackling, and the screams of the surrounding fans were deafening.Cheng Xia walked the red carpet for the first time, and he would be a little nervous, but today, because his most trusted brother Pei walked the red carpet with him, he was not nervous at all.

This section of the red carpet was very long, and Cheng Xia had the illusion that the two of them walked through the wedding red carpet together.

It is also because of the wedding that I imagined, Cheng Xia's smile was particularly bright, and the fans were so fascinated that they took pictures with their mobile phones.

After reaching the end of the red carpet, the host passed the microphone over excitedly: "Welcome Mr. Pei and Cheng Xia! Did you two discuss it in advance? How did you meet on the red carpet?"

Cheng Xia took the microphone and said jokingly: "It's my first time to walk Hearts, Mr. Pei was worried that I would fall under nervousness and embarrass Tianxuan Group, so he walked with me for a while."

Pei Shaoze's eyes were gentle: "There is this concern. If Cheng Xia falls down on the red carpet, our Tianxuan's stock price will plummet tomorrow."

There was a burst of laughter all around.

The host also didn't expect Pei Shaoze to be so easy-going today, to joke with Cheng Xia?

The simple interaction between the two made the host dizzy. I don't know if it was an illusion. At that moment, Pei Shaoze looked at Cheng Xia with a particularly gentle gaze.The host came back to his senses and asked: "Mr. Pei, the profits of the two online dramas you invested in have surprised the netizens! Many netizens said that we should add a 'Best Investor' award to our awards ceremony. This The award belongs to you, what do you think?"

Pei Shaoze said calmly: "There are losses and gains in investment, it's normal, I just have better luck this year."

He was quite modest.

The host then asked Cheng Xia: "Cheng Xia has nominated for Best Newcomer and Best Supporting Actor, do you think you have a high chance of winning?"

Cheng Xia originally wanted to say: Of course, other competitors will definitely not be able to compete with me.

But Brother Pei was very humble and low-key just now, and he also wanted to keep pace with his boyfriend, so Cheng Xia also said modestly: "I think I still have a lot of room for improvement. Of course it is the best to win an award. It doesn’t matter if you don’t, just keep working hard.”

Fans: "??"

Standing beside Mr. Pei today, Xia Xia seems to have become inexplicably mature!

Pei Shaoze glanced at Cheng Xia with satisfaction, the two looked at each other, and Pei Shaoze led Cheng Xia into the venue.

The online drama awards ceremony is jointly hosted by several major online platforms in China. Due to the richness of the organizer, many music superstars and movie kings were invited to join in the show today. There are many stars on the scene, and Cheng Xia's cafe can't even sit in the first row. , can only sit in the third row.

Pei Shaoze greeted the organizer, and the seat was arranged with Cheng Xia.

After the awards ceremony started, the lights on the scene were completely dark, only the follow spot lights on the stage were left, and the show began on the big stage. Pei Shaoze gently held Cheng Xia's hand under the seat, and Cheng Xia's heart skipped a beat, and he hurried back to hold each other's hand , Interlocking fingers.

Then, Pei Shaoze's deep voice came from beside his ear: "You look good in a suit."

Cheng Xia whispered in his ear, "Really?"

Pei Shaoze: "Of course."

Cheng Xia blushed and thought, then I will wear suits in front of you more from now on, and I will also wear them on your birthday.
