While busy with the filming of "The Walking Dead" and supervising the high-intensity work of "The Vampire Diary", Li Xiaole felt that there was not enough time. After being busy all day, he dragged his tired body back home. He took off his socks and lay on the bed to rest. He took a nap for more than an hour. He was not awakened by the message prompt from the laptop by the bedside bed at 8 o'clock.

He woke up rubbing his eyes, sat up and leaned against the head of the bed, put his laptop in his arms, and opened the video link page with some expectations. Ha Ji-won's bright and familiar face appeared on the screen, making Li Xiaole's whole body full of fatigue seem to disappear.

"What's wrong with you, Li Xiaole~ Are you crying... What's wrong with you?" Ha Ji-won looked at Li Xiaole's haggard face and said with a heartache.

"Am I that fragile, President He~" Li Xiaole smiled and looked at his girlfriend, touched his chin with a self-deprecating look. He just didn't shave for two days. Is he that miserable?

"I know you are strong, but you have been bullied by Sony bastards in the United States for a while. Tell me, as your sister, I can let you vent your vent and make sure you feel happy~" Ha Ji-won squinted Meimoo and comforted him as if coaxing a child and a sheep.

"I vent my physical needs... Then my physical needs are more urgent than mentally..." Li Xiaole sighed helplessly and put the screen down, as if he wanted to see under Ha Ji-won's collar wearing a T-shirt...

"Ha...you can see, I don't mind." Ha Ji-won was amused by his funny behavior and giggled. The two of them cared about each other warmly, and Ha Ji-won asked:

"I heard that Sony and Fox have officially apologized?"

"Yes~" Li Xiaole nodded.

"Li Xiaole~! Don't be rude this time. You must beat them and make compensations. You will definitely not settle out of court. You will be relieved if you want to sue them for bankruptcy~!" Ha Ji-won thought about Li Xiaole's previous lawsuit, and she was so worried that she hated her teeth.

"Oh... forget it." Li Xiaole stretched his waist indifferently and said with a smile: "Everyone apologized, but why should you pursue and fight for resigning? You should leave some room for others, after all, you are all colleagues, so let me understand."

"You really don't pursue it... Are you that generous?" Ha Ji-won was stunned and thought Li Xiaole was joking.

In order to prove that she did what she said, Li Xiaole posted a message on Facebook in front of her:

"As a media report, it is very difficult to maintain objectivity. I have made mistakes. I believe that my friends in the industry did not deliberately target me or Pirate TV, because I decided to give up pursuing everyone in this incident. I hope that in the future, my peers will work together to maintain a fair and objective position in the industry..."

Ha Ji-won saw him doing what he said on the spot, and immediately widened his beautiful eyes and sighed: "Wow... Li Xiaole, I really think you are so handsome... How could I find a good man who is so tolerant to you..."

"You are lucky~" Li Xiaole chuckled softly. Chatting with a bright girl like Ha Ji-won is really a pleasant thing. She can always easily believe in the best side of things.

His "not pursuing" is not because of tolerance, but a strategy.

Sony and Fox did a very good job in the public relations crisis in this scandal. They immediately made a positive public apology and asked the parties involved to resign themselves, while also placing all the blame on those parties and clearing themselves.

If I sued myself, I would indeed be able to make Kang Fudazheng and others compensate me for a considerable amount of money, but what is the point? Millions of dollars are not very important to him, and it will be a drop in the bucket for giants like Sony and Focus. Instead, it will make the American public feel that the matter is over. Isn’t this the effect Sony and Focus want?

This is very similar to a gossip incident of a celebrity couple in the mainland. The husband cheated. In order to maintain his image, he sincerely apologized publicly. If the wife insisted on publicly pursuing her husband's fault at this time, public opinion would sympathize with the husband, and the wife publicly expressed a statement that seemed to be forgiven and understood but did not intend to pursue it.

Then public opinion will completely stand on the side of the wife and despise her husband even more. This is the subtlety of human hearts.

What Li Xiaole has to do now is to be that "smart wife". Is this trick insidious? Li Xiaole doesn't think it is because he knows that if the winner of this time is Sony, the other party's trick will be much crueler, and the success of the king will be defeated. The struggle has always been like this, why did he let the other party go?

After Li Xiaole's message was posted on Facebook, it was immediately sought after by netizens, and in just one night it received a "like" thumbs up from 370,000 people.

Netizens left a message below to express their support for him and said: "This is the true entrepreneurial style. Li Xiaole's success is not a coincidence. The tolerance of Chinese people is admirable."

"Li Xiaole was maliciously slandered by Sony and Fox, but he has not said a word to them until now. Looking at the ugly faces of Sony and Fox before, I really feel that in such a calculating entertainment industry, we must support such good people." "People who decide to support this Chinese boy unconditionally in the future, please click like~!!"

Li Xiaole's actions won the favor of almost everyone. At the same time, the images that Sony and Fox just recovered immediately fell to the bottom again... and became the object of contempt for many movie fans and netizens.

The public relations departments of the two companies have hated Li Xiaole's name these days, but they have no choice but to use this despicable guy. Even when CBS News Station came to interview Kang Fudazheng, the former Sony executive who hated Li Xiaole could only put his hands together to look at the camera, and said repeatedly:

"Thanks to Mr. Li Xiaole for his tolerance, I am really ashamed until...that I am ashamed until..." A classic proverb, "A mute eats yellow lotus, and it is hard to express the meaning of it."

When this shot was spread to the mainland, Han Sanpin and Han Xiaoli, who knew Li Xiaole very well, couldn't help laughing. Han Sanpin shook his head and smiled and commented: "This Xiaole is not only a good director, but also a good actor."

After several public relations response actions, the reputation of Pirates and Li Xiaole himself has been unprecedentedly improved. Later, when the 4th episode of "The Walking Dead" was broadcast, the one-sided support of the public opinion made "The Walking Dead" naturally reach a peak of ratings, achieving a record of 21.48 million! It left all its competitors far behind.

At the same time, as the closest audience group in the same period, NBC's huge investment "Super Hero" only achieved a pitiful score of 4.39 million viewers, which directly led to the 10-episode series scheduled for the first season of the fall. The plot was cut for the last 4 episodes, and the plot shrank to 6 episodes...

What surprised other TV stations even more was that on Tuesday, Pirates took advantage of this public opinion craze and launched their new series "Vampire Diary". As Rick Wu Yan formed two handsome guys on Monday, the audience was obsessed with in the zombie world, on Tuesday, Pirates brought surprises to everyone, the beautiful elena, the gentlemanly stefan, the evil damon, the beautiful katherine, and the beautiful caroline... In addition, the series is a love story between an exotic vampire and a problematic young girl, almost full of all the elements of the contemporary American youth campus.

"The Vampire Diary" almost instantly conquered the hearts of those young viewers who hate cruel themes, and won 8.78 million viewers in one fell swoop... and ranked in the top three in the same period again... Everyone was surprised by this result, and at the same time, many people gradually began to realize that this popular Pirate TV station was not just supported by Li Xiaole, but was gradually growing as a whole, and faintly becoming an independent individual outside the five major TV networks...

During this period, "The Walking Dead" was not just a mess in North America. As TV stations from various countries competed to compete for overseas distribution rights, its influence had begun to extend to the international stage. The profits of Pirate TV's copyright in this series alone reached an astonishing figure of 10.98 million US dollars per episode.

Within a short week, "The Walking Dead" aired its premiere in 122 countries and regions in Europe, Latin America, Asia and the Middle East. As a result, the drama easily defeated its competitors from Cable Network in the same period in any of them.

In the UK, Poland and Spain, the ratings of the show exceeded the average ratings of foreign dramas by 712%; in Peru, the first episode of "The Walking Dead" broke the American drama ratings record of the first episode of "Lost"; in Chile, its first episode created a success in the same period; in Argentina, the live broadcast of football matches at the same time dropped by 34% due to the release of "The Walking Dead". What else can resist the charm of the "Walking Dead" ~~~

The rising ratings of overseas countries also brought about the increase in North American advertising revenue of "The Walking Dead". In the fourth episode, his price was an average of 340,000 to 375,000 US dollars per 30 seconds, which is still an advertisement that is not close to the live broadcast time.
