Chapter 137: Foil, Popularity, Work (Please Subscribe and Vote)
No chance.
Ding Chunling said angrily: "Lin Xing's luck is too strong. He can even carry a web drama."
Last night, the premiere of "The Murderer in the Portrait" received rave reviews, but "The Right Way to Be Independent" was still criticized.
Since the premiere on April 1, the show has already announced that the characters will divorce and become independent. Then, in the first 8 episodes, there was no divorce, and the heroine actually wanted to have a second child.
Following this, everyone questioned, and the reputation suffered a little decline. The screenwriter Xiao Li's response was plagued by all kinds of negatives.
But with the blowout of the ratings and popularity of "The Right Way to Be Independent" on the 2nd, coupled with some publicity and promotion operations, the reputation of the decline has been stopped a little.
The audience is actually very patient.
It's okay if you have a slow pace.
It's okay if you have a little water.
But you can't always have a slow pace, a watery plot, or even no plot advancement at all.
Look, from the first day of 8 episodes on April 1st, to the 9th and 10th episodes on the 2nd, to the 13th and 14th episodes on the evening of the 4th, the plot is still basically in the divorce.
The audience's patience was completely exhausted on the evening of the 4th.
Again, the audience can give you a chance, but you can't fool the audience again and again.
So the reputation of "The Right Way to Open Independence" and "The Portrait of the Murderer" on the evening of the 4th is completely different.
If the audience on the 1st and 2nd episodes still have a little patience, then the update on the evening of the 3rd is the audience's last chance to give "The Right Way to Open Independence".
But it's a pity that the pace is still as slow as ever, and the two episodes on the evening of the 4th are still in the divorce. The main thing is that the heroine is acting and the male protagonist wants a second child while collecting evidence.
14 episodes, no progress at all.
Although this drama focuses on a girl helping a girl, what kind of alliance does this heroine and the mistress have, and what about women being self-reliant?
But the audience didn't buy it.
Coupled with the contrast of "The Murderer in the Portrait", it exploded last night.
Today, all the hot searches about "The Murderer in the Portrait" are positive reports, and the rest are all criticisms about "The Correct Way to Open Independence".
If you want to talk about ratings, then "The Correct Way to Open Independence" is still firmly in the first place.
But in terms of the popularity of the drama, this drama was directly suppressed by "The Murderer in the Portrait".
In other words, the TV series "The Correct Way to Open Independence" was suppressed by a web drama.
Not only was the popularity suppressed, but the reputation was also beaten.
More importantly, "The Correct Way to Open Independence" is a drama with a female lead, and it talks about "female themes", but it is so bloody and completely out of touch with reality.
On the other hand, what about "The Murderer in the Portrait"?
This is a drama with two male protagonists, but the current 14 episodes of "The Murderer in the Portrait" have always been about women's stories, and each unit drama seems to be telling the difficulties of women.
Do you think it's funny?
The dramas with female protagonists are out of touch with reality, and there is no so-called voice for women, but the dramas with two male protagonists are about the difficulties of women and speak for women.
Now netizens have all focused their discussion on "The Murderer in the Portrait".
Thanks to the contrast of "The Right Way to Open Independence", the score of "The Murderer in the Portrait" has reached 8 points.
Many people in the industry think that Lin Xing's star luck is too good.
You see, Wu Yao's house collapsed, and he became popular again.
Lin Xing, a small variety show "Let's Farm", was able to become popular even after participating in it.
Other people in "Just Waiting for You" were scolded, but only Lin Xing reaped the benefits with the role of Du Fei.
In "Sweeping Black Waves", with all the actors as veterans, Lin Xing's villain was not at all inferior.
Now that he is the first actor in "The Murderer in the Portrait", everyone thought that this web drama would definitely fail and be finished.
But who would have thought that this drama would become popular with the help of tap water.
It was completely unexpected.
That's why Ding Chunling said that Lin Xing's luck is too good.
Zhao Yining was a little unhappy: "So are we just going to let him step on us? We're just going to do nothing?"
"Of course not, I'm trying to figure it out."
Ding Chunling said to Zhao Yining: "What you have to do now is to continue to promote "The Right Way to Be Independent", or as we said before, we'll try to get the benefits."
Zhao Yining shook his head and said: "What benefits are there? Now all the netizens are scolding this drama, and although there are no batches of people scolding me, no one thinks I'm good..."
"It's only been aired for 4 days, and the current public opinion is still useful to us. After all, your role is a housewife, the one who was cheated on. , it is easy to get everyone's sympathy. "
Ding Chunling signaled Zhao Yining not to worry: "Then "The Portrait of the Murderer" will soon be the finale, and then the popularity will always be ours, right?"
Speaking of this, Ding Chunling paused and said: "Besides, the character of Xu Tong is the one whose personality is really unpleasant. The direction of public opinion will change. We can take advantage of the change in public opinion to do public relations later."
Zhao Yining asked: "What about now?"
"Keep a low profile."
Ding Chunling said lightly: "Avoid the sharp edge!"
In her opinion, since "The Portrait of the Murderer" has exploded today, it may be completely uncontrollable in the next few days.
"Isn't it just giving in? ? "
Zhao Yining said angrily: "I shouldn't have accepted this drama in the first place. I thought it would bring my reputation to a higher level, but now it's almost fun."
Thinking about the recording of "Tonight's Drama", Zhao Yining never looked at Lin Xing from beginning to end. She even thought that Lin Xing was a clown.
Now it seems.
I'm the fucking clown.
As for Ding Chunling's claim that "The Right Way to Be Independent" will become popular after the finale of "Portrait of a Murderer", Zhao Yining doesn't believe it at all.
Now we have to avoid its edge.
How could the popularity of a drama disappear after the finale?
It won't even stop for at least half a month after the finale.
"Sister, one more thing is that we have become a complete foil now. Judging from the current discussion among netizens, I think in the future they will only criticize our drama while praising "Portrait of a Murderer"..."
Zhao Yining analyzed calmly.
Ding Chunling: "???"
She didn't expect that Zhao Yining would be so smart.
…
At this time, Lin Xing had already boarded the plane with Xiao Nan.
"Brother Xing, please take advantage of this situation and take a rest."
Xiaonan said: "We have an interview after we land, and at the same time we have to have dinner with the creator of "Portrait of a Murderer" in the evening, and we have to go to Zhalang to sweep the building tomorrow. It's too rushed, and you don't even have time to rest. "
"What's the rush? That's how propaganda is. All we need to do is cooperate."
Lin Xinghun said nonchalantly: "You should also take a rest quickly."
The filming on the set of "Bad Kid" went quite smoothly these days. Lin Xing didn't feel tired because the filming progress was not fast.
When shooting movies like "The Big Brother" and "Portrait of a Murderer," you have to rush around, and that's really tiring.
Especially when filming "Portrait of a Murderer", it happened to coincide with the promotion of the launch of "Anti-Gangster". Lin Xing had finished the promotion here and had to rush to film the scene there.
For Lin Xing, he regards this as his job from beginning to end.
Since it is work, just do your best.
After landing at the Imperial Capital Airport, Lin Xing found that his fans were already there to guard him.
"Ahhhh..."
"Star, star, I love you."
"Ahhhhh"
…
Some fans were screaming, and many took out photos hoping for Lin Xing's autograph.
Too many people.
These people completely caused chaos at the airport.
You must know that fans were screaming, and some passers-by also came to watch. Not only that, but some proxy photographers were also crazy about taking photos of Lin Xing.
After all, Lin Xing's popularity is rising again.
"Don't crowd people."
"Don't crowd, don't disturb other people."
"You want an autograph, don't you? If you want an autograph, just calm down."
"Now listen to me and line up in two rows."
…
Lin Xing temporarily became the command captain.
He found that he still underestimated the persistence of fans. In other words, even though he had disbanded the official fan club, the number of fans was actually increasing exponentially.
The most important thing is that many people like to be picked up at the airport. They just enjoy the atmosphere of meeting their idols.
Especially the more people the better.
"Everyone listen to my instructions and wait outside. Today I promise to sign everyone's names. Don't be anxious and don't disturb passers-by..."
Lin Xing asked fans lined up in two rows to go outside in order.
"Xiao Nan, please ask the car to wait for me."
Lin Xing sent a WeChat message to Xiaonan, and then went outside the airport to prepare signatures.
This signing for Lin Xing took almost an hour.
Because the more people sign, the more people there are.
“Who is in front of you??”
"Lin Xing."
"Which Lin Xing???"
"Zhou Bo in "Anti-Gangster", you know, that's him."
"Oh, you're talking about Guan Feng in "Portrait of a Murderer"."
…
Many passers-by passed by and chatted and simply continued to line up.
In short, the main focus is a sense of participation.
"Sister Dao, do you want to talk to Brother Xing??"
In the distance, Xiao Nan said worriedly: "Brother Xing has been signing for almost an hour. This is too tiring."
"You don't know your brother Xing yet? Since he wants to sign, he must sign before leaving."
Sister Dao smiled bitterly and said, "It's better to wait."
Another 20 minutes later, Lin Xing stopped signing autographs this time. He took a photo with everyone, and then said: "That's it for today. I hope everyone will tell you when they get back that they won't pick up people at the airport again." I don’t want you to pick them up at the airport. If you pick them up at the airport again, I will not sign autographs or take photos..."
Instead of waiting to actually cause a big mess at the airport later, it's better to talk it out now.
Some popular artists hope to have such a lineup. They want fans to pick them up at the airport. This is a way to show their traffic.
But Lin Xing doesn't need this.
What’s more important is that if you refuse to pick up someone at the airport, fans will be unhappy, but if pick-ups at the airport become more frequent or even more lively in the future, passers-by will be extremely annoyed.
Again, what Lin Xing really needs is word of mouth.
What’s more important is that fans rely on guidance.
Lin Xing let out a long sigh of relief when he got back to the car. He said to Sister Dao: "I'll give you some guidance on what happened today. Especially at the airport, we almost caused trouble, so we need to show our attitude first."
Sister Dao nodded slightly: "Okay, I'll do it right away."
"Well, instead of waiting for a marketing account to screenshot a video with no beginning or end to eat up traffic or even blackmail us, I think it's better for us to clarify the matter first."
Lin Xing said: "Not only fans need guidance, but some passers-by also need guidance."
Sister Dao nodded slightly, and at the same time she handed Lin Xing a bottle of water: "Drink some water first, the people from "Star Entertainment" are already waiting for the interview."
Lin Xing did have a dry throat.
For more than an hour, Lin Xing was really tired from maintaining order, signing autographs, and taking photos.
After returning to the company, the makeup artist quickly put on Lin Xing's makeup and touched up the light makeup, and then Lin Xing came to the conference room.
"Sorry, I was delayed at the airport for more than an hour."
Lin Xing apologized to the editor of "Star Entertainment".
The editor hurriedly shook her head to express that it was okay, and then she handed the manuscript to Lin Xing: "Teacher Lin, this is our interview outline, please take a look at it first."
"Need not."
Lin Xing threw the manuscript aside and said, "Let's get started directly."
"That's okay."
The editor was not surprised, after all, she had already done her homework before coming.
Lin Xing's interview really didn't require preparation in advance. Even his manager didn't stop him too much and just took a look at the outline of the interview.
This "Star Entertainment" is owned by Penguin Film and Television, and they came to interview Lin Xing mainly for the promotion of "Portrait of a Murderer".
The interview is divided into two parts, one is a text interview, and the other is a 10-minute video Q&A.
An hour later, the interview officially ended.
"Teacher Lin, we will release this interview on Sunday afternoon."
Before leaving, the editor said to Lin Xing: "We will let you take a look before releasing it. If there is no problem with your review, we will release it directly."
"OK."
Lin Xing nodded lightly: "Thank you for your hard work!"
"It's not hard, this is our job, but I'd like you to cooperate with the publicity."
The editor said quickly.
She also secretly sighed in her heart that this rumor was indeed true.
Lin Xing's interview was really cooperative.
Not only does he cooperate, but sometimes he even asks if he needs to do it again.
Thinking about the other people I interviewed before, it’s really not just trying to pull anyone out. None of them are as cooperative as Lin Xing.
"No trouble."
Lin Xing smiled and said, "This is also my job."
"Brother Xing, we are on the hot search again."
As soon as the people in "Star Entertainment" left, Xiaonan quickly walked over and said.
Lin Xing was not surprised: "Because of the airport incident??"
