The influence of Parallel Film and Television is growing, and the entire entertainment industry is being severely impacted.
Some celebrities who used to rely on low-quality content have lost their popularity.
Even without classic works, they could still gain a large following and make a fortune.
But that was when everyone was just making a living off shoddy work and producing low-quality films to fool people.
Now, if you have classic works to show and then make trashy videos, people will feel disgusted.
Fans aren't brainless. Without comparison, there's no harm done. If you release trashy content now, it's no wonder you're losing fans.
In just one year, many entertainment companies went bankrupt.
The entire industry has entered a period of decline.
Throughout the year, there has been no shortage of negative public opinion against Parallel Film and Television, with attacks coming from legal, economic, and social perspectives in various forms.
Ling Yi remained unmoved by this.
Even on the homepage of Parallel Film and Television ' website, another sentence was added.
"Either create a classic, or you all cry."
Ordinary people laughed until they cried, but entertainment companies were truly devastated.
The key issue is that over the past year, we've tried every method imaginable, both legitimate and illegitimate, but to no avail. We simply can't find out who's behind it all, and we can't shut down the Parallel Film and Television website.
No matter what methods were used, the final conclusion was that either everyone should strive to create classic works, or they would continue to be crushed by Parallel Film and Television and should just cry.
Meanwhile, the Protagonist Ye Hai, continues to work as a singer, and his fame is quite good. Moreover, Ye Hai discovers that any songs he has sung will not appear in the Parallel Film and Television series.
This gave Ye Hai a way out; otherwise, he would have cried too.
In entertainment novels, those who transmigrate into another world are doomed if they cannot Copy their previous life's work.
Have you ever seen Protagonist in an entertainment novel whose work is entirely original? They're all just Transport.
At night, on a snack street in a certain city, Ling Yi was eating barbecue and drinking beer while chatting with a few college students who had temporarily set up a table.
Because it's next to a university, this food street is frequented by a large number of students every night.
Ling Yi arrived early, so he had a table to himself. When the other college students arrived, the table was already full, so they shared a table with Ling Yi.
"I don't know what the Big Shot behind Parallel Film and Television is after. It's completely free, so capricious," one of the young men with a buzz cut said, taking a bite of a skewer.
"Who says otherwise? I've calculated it myself. If any entertainment company were to operate the works currently available on Parallel Film and Television normally, their value would be over a trillion."
"I don't know how many entertainment companies have gone bankrupt. Just last month, more than thirty went out of business, even T-person went bankrupt. Many celebrities haven't appeared in public for a long time."
Ah, I miss my Xuejian, I miss my Biyao.
Ling Yi shook his head and laughed, "You guys have such a narrow perspective, you know? Although the emergence of Parallel Film and Television will lead to the closure of many companies, this is precisely a process of survival of the fittest."
"The entertainment industry is too chaotic. In the past, those celebrities could easily make money off fans by putting together a shoddy work. Now, let them try it!"
" Parallel Film and Television have elevated everyone's taste. Having grown accustomed to delicacies, who would want to go back to eating coarse grains and wild vegetables?"
"If you don't produce good work, you'll either be eliminated, or you'll have to honestly improve your skills."
"Like last month's ' The Demon Venerable,' although the special effects were a bit lacking, it was indeed a good work with a very powerful theme. The Demon Venerable enters the mortal world and experiences all aspects of life. When the Demon Realm realm invades, it is not humans Save the World, but the dignified Demon Venerable herself. Humans are like demons, yet the demon saves humans. The ending is full of irony and makes people think deeply."
The young men nodded, agreeing that Ling Yi's words made a lot of sense.
"My buddy's right. The entertainment industry is different from other industries; its chaos is hard to cure, and it needs a swift and decisive approach to cut away the cancer. Parallel Film and Television is just that swift and decisive approach."
"A serious illness is hard to cure. Although scraping the bone to remove the poison is painful, it is directly effective," another person chimed in.
Ling Yi nodded. As expected of a college student, he was indeed quite capable.
"Cheers to this swift knife!" Ling Yi raised his glass and shouted loudly.
The other young men also shouted, "Cheers to Quick Knife!"
Ling Yi rarely indulged himself like this, and was in a very good mood.
Just then, a pleasant voice rang out beside them.
"Tch, aren't the good actors the ones who suffer? Entertainment companies are backed by capital; they can just switch industries. But what about the good actors? It's easy for you to talk when you're not in their shoes."
The group looked in the direction of the sound and found a beautiful woman with a great figure wearing sunglasses.
"Wearing sunglasses so late at night, you're either a celebrity or... cough cough." Ling Yi coughed lightly, not finishing his sentence, while the others gave him a knowing look.
The woman in sunglasses sat down next to Ling Yi Ling Yi angrily, glaring at him and saying, "Why are you so protective of Parallel Film and Television?"
" Song Zhuer?" Ling Yi was somewhat surprised. He was quite familiar with Ling Yi; in a previous world, Ling Yi had practically raised Song Zhuer to be a "criminal."
Seeing that Ling Yi recognized her, Song Zhuer didn't hide anything, and directly took off her sunglasses and slammed them on the table.
"I haven't received any offers for months, it's all that lousy website's fault. I don't care what others say, I just really hate it."
"Furthermore, you're clearly just making excuses. What 'quick knife' and 'cancer'? How much do you know about the entertainment industry? Even if the people behind Parallel Film and Television have good intentions, it's still forcing growth."
"Good scripts aren't easy to find. Do you think they're as easy as cabbages? They always need a process of development, revision, and finalization. After that, you have to find investors, directors, and actors. Do you know how troublesome that is?"
"While I don't know where Parallel Film and Television got those works from, it's simply impossible for all entertainment companies to reach this standard."
"And what about those talentless, popular actors you mentioned? Don't you know the government is Dali down on them? The atmosphere is much better now, okay?"
"Ugh, I'm so angry! If I find out who's behind this, I'll give them a good beating."
Ling Yi knew, of course, that Song Zhuer was right. In fact, Ling Yi did this to target the Protagonist; he simply disliked the Protagonist.
As for the negative impact, Ling Yi was very clear about it.
The emergence of Parallel Film and Television has both advantages and disadvantages. Currently, the side effects are greater, but as time goes on, Ling Yi believes that the benefits will definitely outweigh the drawbacks.
It will at least provide more ideas and directions for filming in the world.
Recently, quite a few people have started to follow the trend and create works on Parallel Film and Television platforms.
As for works that are complete knock-offs, Ling Yi doesn't care at all; being able to surpass the classics is a skill in itself.
"Could you be the one behind this?" Song Zhuer asked, staring at Ling Yi with her beautiful eyes.
"If I said it was me, would you believe me?" Ling Yi shrugged.
"Anyway, I feel like something's off about you." Song Zhuer didn't know why, but he had a feeling that this guy in front of him was unusual. As for why? There was no reason, it was just his sixth sense.
The other boys were a bit excited and nervous. Song Zhuer was considered a top-tier second-tier figure in this world; she was lively, cute, and quite famous.
But those who were just talking so confidently now didn't dare to utter a word.
Compared to them, Ling Yi was much more composed. Moreover, the way Ling Yi looked at Song Zhuer was filled with warmth, a feeling that only people who know each other well would have. In addition, Ling Yi himself had an extraordinary temperament, and no matter how he tried to hide it, his temperament was not comparable to that of ordinary people.
This is why Song Zhuer felt that Ling Yi acting strangely.
"By the way, how did you end up here? Where's your manager? Aren't you worried about getting into danger running around alone?" Ling Yi asked curiously.
"The agency I was signed with went bankrupt, and my agent was also assigned by the company, so he's gone too. As for safety, this is the Great Ancient Eastern Nation," Song Zhuer said, rolling his eyes.
"I'm really sorry about that," Ling Yi said casually.
Song Zhuer squinted at Ling Yi, "What are you apologizing for?"
You misheard me, I said it looks good.
"I'm not deaf or blind. You're saying sorry, but you're hiding something. You're the bad guy, aren't you?"
"No, I didn't, don't talk nonsense." Ling Yi denied it three times in a row.
"Really? Then let me go to your place and take a look."
"I'm staying at a hotel, are you sure?"
"See this? What's this?" Song Zhuer pulled out a bottle of pepper spray and said menacingly.
"You're ruthless. As long as you're not afraid of the media going crazy tomorrow, it's fine."
"I'm unemployed right now, nobody cares about me anymore, making a scene would be like getting a new job."
This line of thinking seems to have no flaws.
"I don't want to get involved in your circle. You're not afraid, but I am. If rumors start circulating, I'll be driven crazy by them!"
Ling Yi was speechless. He ran into a celebrity while just going out for barbecue. This was a privilege only Protagonist get.
Something feels off...
It wasn't that Ling Yi disliked this cute little girl, but rather that Ling Yi was merely a passerby and didn't want to have too many Karma with the people of this world.
Over a thousand years have passed in the Primordial World, and the people and events in Ling Yi's memories have begun to fade.
Let alone a thousand years, even ten years...
Do you still remember the brother who drank and chatted with you ten years ago? Do you remember his name, his face?
You remember, but how long will you remember?
This is a rather sad and terrible thing.
Ling Yi needs to adjust his mindset!
