Chapter 65
Teacher, my Zi Han really didn't play with cotton dolls
"Top of the List" is broadcasted in the prime time of CCTV 1. The copyright for online broadcasting has been given to three domestic companies, namely Aoqi, Tianya and Yumi. It can also be watched on CCTV Video.
The broadcast schedule of this drama is mainly through satellite channels. CCTV-1 broadcasts two episodes every day, members of each website update 2 episodes every day, and non-members update 1 episode. On the day of broadcast, the V-lock will be started from the 2nd episode. It can be seen that the drama party has placed great emphasis on the ratings.
Ling Sui watched two episodes in front of the TV and could only say that he was barely satisfied with his performance and that he did not drag down the show.
After all, this was a TV series she filmed a year ago. Judging from her current level, we can definitely find some faults with her, which shows that she is making progress.
Ling Suisui observed the expressions of Hao Ren and Ling Fei - they both happened to be at home, and her new drama was about to be aired, so the whole family must be sitting in the living room watching it together.
They initially watched it to show their support for her, and when the show first aired, they would watch it on TV while checking their phones. But as the plot developed, both of them were attracted by the TV screen and the frequency of picking up their phones gradually decreased.
There are more group portrait plots in the first two episodes, told from the perspective of Li Yuhua and her daughter. It starts with the Xue brothers and sisters transferring to another school. Li Yuhua, Xue Wen, and Zhu Xiumin (Peng Haoran’s mother), three old classmates, get together for tea and talk about their children’s education issues based on their different identities, status, and family conditions.
Xue Wen and Zhu Xiumin both felt that Li Yuhua was worthy of being a teacher because she was good at teaching children. Peng Haoran's grades are not as good as Zhang Zihan's, and Xue Yuchen is rebellious and disobedient, but isn't Zhang Zihan the best in every aspect?
All in all, although Li Yuhua was polite in words, she couldn't help but feel a little proud in front of her old classmates.
Li Yuhua thought so in her heart, but when she returned home she was very strict with her daughter and talked about the advantages of other children in various ways.
Her original intention was to let her daughter emulate the strengths of others, but it made Zhang Zihan feel very depressed and lost.
She was already under a lot of pressure as she was entering her third year of high school, and Xue Yutong, who had just transferred in, beat her in the class quiz and used a faster and better problem-solving method than her, which made Zhang Zihan feel a little depressed.
During the break, Xue Yuchen accidentally broke her glass.
Zhang Zihan liked this cup very much. Even if Xue Yuchen didn't mean it, she was in a bad mood and there was a hint of complaint in her tone.
Although Xue Yuchen felt sorry, he also felt ashamed to be publicly accused by her. He insisted that she shouldn't use glass products in the classroom. Wouldn't they be easy to break with so many people coming and going?
At this time, Xue Yutong stood up and accused Xue Yuchen of going too far, asking how he could put the blame on others. She apologized to Zhang Zihan on behalf of her brother, which made Zhang Zihan feel even more complicated.
In fact, Xue Yuchen regretted what he said as soon as he finished speaking, but he wanted to say sorry but couldn't bring himself to do it. After hearing what Xue Yutong said, he felt extremely ashamed. After saying "I will never bow to you", he turned around and left in anger.
Later, seeing that Zhang Zihan was in a bad mood these days, Xue Yuchen felt very guilty.
He became friends with Peng Haoran, and learned from him that Zhang Zihan liked to play with cotton dolls. So he bought one online and put it in Zhang Zihan's drawer when she was not around.
Xue Yuchen also brainwashed himself, saying that he wanted it before but didn't want it now, and Zhang Zihan happened to like it, so he just gave it to her.
He just didn't want to waste it and had absolutely no intention of bowing to anyone.
Before Zhang Zihan saw the cotton doll, Li Yuhua discovered it when she came to the classroom to check.
She was very angry and thought that Zhang Zihan had broken the agreement with her. Didn’t they agree to stop these useless hobbies before the college entrance examination?
Zhang Zihan was called to the office by Li Yuhua, who pointed at the cotton doll and asked her what was going on. Zhang Zihan was confused and explained that it was not hers, but Li Yuhua thought she was lying and dishonest.
Li Yuhua: "You are still lying to me. Then tell me yourself, besides you, who else in the class would play such childish and boring things?"
Zhang Zihan was angry and aggrieved. She insisted: "This is really not mine. You are my mother, why don't you believe me?"
Li Yuhua: "Zhang Zihan, this is a school, you should call me Teacher Li."
The screen cut to Zhang Zihan and froze on her sad and disappointed expression. Today's two episodes were finished.
Ling Fei still felt a little unsatisfied: "Is it over today?"
Why is it stuck here? She feels anxious for Zhang Zihan. This child is so wronged.
Ling Suisui: "No, if you want to see it again, you have to wait until tomorrow."
Ling Fei couldn't help but ask her about the subsequent plot, but Ling Suisui didn't give her any spoilers.
This is an original script, not an IP adaptation, so the subsequent direction of the plot is of course kept secret.
The pace of "Top of the List" is very fast. These two episodes not only tell the story of Li Yuhua and her daughter, but also lay the groundwork for Xue Wen and Zhu Xiumin to develop feelings for each other. The upcoming mock exam was also the cause of Zhang Zihan’s gradual mental collapse.
Due to the fact that the show was divided among three platforms and only two episodes were updated on the first day, the popularity of "The List" on each platform was not high. When Ling Sui was browsing Weibo, she also saw that fans were calling on people to watch TV as much as possible, and if they needed to watch it online, they should choose CCTV Video.
The volume of views was dispersed, but the topicality and discussion were not. There are already three hot searches on Weibo about being on the list of successful candidates, among which #Teacher, my Zi Han really didn’t play with cotton dolls# ranks the highest and is currently ranked fourth on the entertainment list.
Following behind are #陈越宁专打自己脸# and #要叫师师不是妈妈#. There are posts from marketing accounts in the hot searches, and new things can also be refreshed in the real-time square.
It seems that the drama production team pushed the topic to the hot search, and netizens contributed to the heating KPI after seeing it, and the position of the topic word on the hot search will become higher and higher.
You don’t have to watch ads when playing online, and you can even drag the progress bar. By the time Ling Suisui finished watching two episodes on TV, various drama reviews appeared on Weibo, and Douzi Video was also pushing clips of "The List of Successful Actors".
Only two episodes have been aired so far, and netizens' comments are still focused on the actors' appearance, acting skills, and personalities, without delving deeply into the content of the plot itself.
Ling Sui took a quick look and found that not many people mentioned her, and some of them said that she was not as stunning as she was during the Qin Xian period.
——Of course, this is unavoidable.
The makeup styles of urban dramas and ancient idol dramas are completely different, and the character states are also different. If she brought Qin Xian's style here, everyone in the square would definitely complain that they were distracted by the sight of her.
However, it is normal to say that she is not stunning. If you climb up the ladder and say that she is ordinary or even ugly, you will be ridiculed by netizens.
[You say Pu to Ling Suisui’s face? Don't be ridiculous]
[? ? ? I never thought that Ling Suisui would one day be identified as an ordinary girl. Why do you think Qin Xian is the eternal white moonlight in the hearts of the audience? ]
[Ling Sui's face is still there, and he smiles at the black acid breaking his defense]
[It’s just not delicate at most… Ling Suisui’s facial features are so good, even without makeup she looks like yyds]
[Ling Suisui is clearly a goddess in the domestic entertainment industry, and she really can’t brag about her age]
[If this face is considered ordinary, then let me be this ordinary in my next life]
[Isn’t it normal for high school seniors to have dark circles under their eyes? On the contrary, I think this drama is real and I am ready to watch it.]
[A pretty good actress. You can see that Zhang Zihan is almost without makeup, which fits the character image very well. There are not many young actresses in the domestic entertainment industry with such courage.]
Although Ling Suisui did not stand out for her beauty this time, her act of "sacrificing makeup" for the role was still recognized by the audience.
If it were any other actor, he would have arranged 800 press releases to hype up the topic, but Ling Suisui did not market this.
She thinks this is not professionalism, but just a basic requirement for an actor. What is there to brag about?
In fact, apart from some celebrities who live on the hot searches and are keen on marketing their beauty, many actors can do this.
If she is compared with the lower limits of others, it does not make her look powerful, but instead lowers the height of Ling Sui.
The next day, Ling Sui saw the data released by the official Weibo of "Golden List".
Yesterday, CCTV-1 CVB's ratings were 2.4026%, and Kuyun's peak exceeded 3. The data was better than Qinghe Film and Television's estimate.
The entire cast and crew were excited about this successful start. It seems that Tang Bing and others' audience appeal is still as strong as it was in the past, and the total number of views on the entire network has exceeded one million, which also proves that the Jinbang team's publicity efforts in the past few months have achieved good results.
This data may not sound like much now, but as fans of the drama gradually join in, there is still a lot of room for growth. In fact, the total number of episodes of Ding Feng Bo during its popular broadcast period was 60 million, but when it was first aired, it was only over 2 million.
After one night, the official Douban of Jinbangti had three videos with 500,000 likes, including Xue Yuchen and Zhang Zihan slapping each other in the face after a quarrel, Li Yuhua praising his daughter in public but then making a sour face when he got home, and Li Yuhua and Zhang Zihan confronting each other in the office.
Broadly speaking, all three are related to Zhang Zihan, which shows how popular this character is in Jin Bang Ti Ming.
According to her role and contribution to the topic, Ling Suisui has become the king of cost-effectiveness in the crew.
Among them, the third one has the highest relevance to Ling Suisui and the highest number of likes.
The most-liked reply in the comment section under this video was yesterday’s hot search topic: Teacher, my Zi Han really didn’t play with the cotton doll, followed by several crying emojis.
As Ling Sui scrolled down, she saw crying expressions appearing very frequently. In addition to praising her acting skills and her strong empathy, netizens also shared similar experiences between themselves and Zhang Zihan. Some people even responded by hugging each other to comfort each other and keep each other warm.
[Help! I can’t bear to look into Zhang Zihan’s eyes. It’s as if I saw my past self asking me for help]
[My mother denied her character and hobbies at the same time, and my heart was broken]
[It has to be Tang Bing. The moment she opened her mouth, the pressure was so strong that I was so nervous that I couldn’t breathe.]
[It’s not the mother, it’s the teacher. This sentence is really too destructive]
[Zhang Zihan didn’t cry, but I was the one crying loudly]
[My mom has misunderstood me like this before. She assumes it’s you and won’t listen to your explanation. It’s so suffocating]
[Teacher, please don’t do this to our Zi Han. I swear, she is really a good kid who studies hard]
Although there are not many comments specifically praising her acting skills, the audience's empathy and involvement are the best compliments for the actor.
And under Chen Yuening’s video, all the comments were about having fun and laughing. He compared his own comment section with those of Tang Bing and Ling Suisui, and suddenly felt helpless.
He comforted himself that only two episodes had been aired and it was not yet time for Xue Yuchen to show his strength.
Benefiting from the college entrance examination theme and the time of broadcast, "Top of the List" is still very popular and discussed on the Internet. Even if many people don’t watch the show, they will find clips of Jin Bang on Douzi and get a general idea of its content.
Data doesn’t lie. The likes and comments on the clip of Li Yuhua and her daughter in the same frame were once far ahead. Whether they are viewers following the drama or netizens who have seen the short videos, their eyes are willing to linger on them.
Ling Sui thanked teacher Tang Bing for her guidance. Tang Bing said that she did not need to be humble. Most young audiences started from their own perspectives and put themselves in Zhang Zihan's perspective. It was her good acting and the feedback that met or exceeded expectations that resonated with the audience.
Ling Sui accepted the praise from Teacher Tang and felt very happy.
If someone puts himself in Zhang Zihan's shoes, there will definitely be another group of viewers who will understand Li Yuhua. The two audiences had different standpoints and came to different conclusions, which led to a spontaneous discussion about the plot.
When different voices appear, it will attract more and more people, and the popularity of the drama will become higher and higher. Moreover, this kind of discussion rooted in the plot proves the watchability of the work, and has a strong positive impact on the reputation and long tail of the film.
Some people say that Li Yuhua is too unreasonable. She assumes that her daughter broke the agreement without any reason and is not a good mother at all.
Some people also defended Li Yuhua, saying that cotton dolls are not a popular hobby, and even Zhang Zihan didn't think anyone else in the class liked them, so Li Yuhua couldn't be blamed for her misjudgment.
In the subsequent plot, Zhang Zihan pointed out that this was a popular but pirated cotton doll, which meant that the people who bought it did not understand the ins and outs of it at all. She has been obsessed with cotton dolls for several years, how could she make such a mistake?
She pointed this out and found the authentic comparison chart at home, and finally gained Li Yuhua's trust.
Zhang Zihan later found out that this was a gift from Xue Yuchen.
She was embarrassed to tell him that it was a pirated copy. After all, he meant well, and people outside the circle really couldn't tell the difference. But to tell her whether she liked it or not, well... it was really difficult.
Zhang Zihan couldn't bear to throw it away, but she also didn't want to see it. As a result, Xue Yuchen misunderstood that she looked down on the gift he gave her. Not only did the conflict between them not be resolved, but it deepened instead.
This plot also became a hot search #What to do if a friend gives you pirated copies#, sparking discussions and resonance among many niche circles, and unexpectedly attracting traffic for Jinbangtiming to break out of the circle.
The online broadcast volume of "The List of Successful Scholars" is not dominant, but its popularity on the Internet is ridiculously high. At present, its total playback volume has just exceeded 10 million per episode, but its presence in the hearts of netizens has reached over 100 million.
In the past few days, the micro-fingers and hundred-fingers of "Zhang Zihan" and "Ling Suisui" have continued to set new records. In the episodes where she has a slightly larger role, she can even surpass Chen Yuening on the Datawin character contribution list.
Although she can't surpass her every day, Chen Yuening was much more popular than her before the show was broadcast, so it's already good enough for her to achieve this.
The Internet is the main battlefield for young people, and viewers holding the remote control also expressed silent support.
On the sixth day of the broadcast of "The Golden List", the ratings soared to 3.274%, and the peak of Kuyun directly exceeded 4. Coupled with its high discussion on various platforms, it has become a definite hit in people's minds.
As Zhang Zihan became better known to the public, Ling Sui's road to national popularity has also taken a formal big step forward.
