Chapter 96
Position 00 Flower First Echelon
On an afternoon when he had no classes, college student Xiao Zhou sat on a chair in his dormitory and yawned out of boredom.
When she got up to go to the bathroom, she happened to glance at her roommate's tablet, and the woman in red on the screen instantly caught her attention.
Subconsciously, Xiao Zhou stood there and watched for a while.
The heroine held the sword in her right hand and fought hand-to-hand with the enemy. She blocked the opponent's sword that was chopped down, turned her wrist to change the direction of the sword, and cut the opponent's neck first.
She turned around quickly, not only defending against the sneak attack from behind, but also stabbed the opponent's vitals with the sword, killing him again with one blow.
In an instant, she killed two people.
Xiao Zhou was so fascinated by the smooth and unhurried fighting scenes that she even forgot she had to go to the toilet and just stood behind her roommate staring at her tablet screen.
Even though her roommate was wearing headphones and she couldn't hear the sound, just seeing the female warrior using her martial arts skills, somersaulting in the air to nimbly avoid the attacks, and neatly dispatching her opponent when she landed, made Xiao Zhou feel her blood boiling, and the background music of martial arts movies automatically sounded in her mind.
Her roommate felt her gaze and turned around to look at her.
Xiao Zhou asked her: "What are you watching? Is it a new movie?"
My roommate took off one of his headphones and said, “No, it’s the show I recommended to you before, Freedom House.”
Xiao Zhou was confused: "But you seemed to say it was an urban comedy?"
"Yes, it's an urban comedy. This part is Sun Jiayi dreaming."
Seeing that Xiao Zhou was interested, her roommate immediately recommended it to her.
She first introduced the plot, and then emphasized that Chen Lin played Li Zirui in the film. Although he was an idol, his acting skills were superb and he was as funny as professional comedians and so on...
That’s right, Xiao Zhou’s roommate is a fan of Chen Lin. She has been constantly recommending "Freedom House" to people around her since before the show started airing. However, Xiao Zhou doesn't like watching domestic dramas, so her recommendations went in one ear and out the other.
Xiao Zhou has no feelings for his roommate's idol Chen Lin, but is more curious about the heroine on the screen.
The picture was still playing, and this time it gave a close-up of the heroine - Xiao Zhou felt that she looked familiar, as if he had seen her somewhere.
When she expressed such doubts, her roommate replied: "This is Ling Suisui. She played Zhang Zihan in the previous Jinbang Timing."
Xiao Zhou, who hasn’t watched Chinese dramas for a long time: …
She had no interest in current online dramas and TV series. Even if she saw them on the trending searches, she would just swipe past them and had no desire to click on them. However, the name "Ling Suisui" awakened her memory.
"I've seen her videos before and followed her."
Xiao Zhou thought for a moment, "I think we were still freshmen at that time, and she was still a blogger with only a few fans. She wasn't even an internet celebrity. Now she's acting in a TV series?"
My roommate scratched his head and said, "She has been very popular for more than a year and even won the Magnolia Award for Best Supporting Actress this year."
Xiao Zhou was a little confused. Is the version update so fast?
The blogger in her impression who was hardworking but unknown on the Internet has actually become a big star?
Her mood now is very subtle, probably confusion, shock, and a little bit of joy of "cultivation".
After chatting with his roommate for a while, Xiao Zhou remembered that he was going to the bathroom.
After returning to her seat, out of closeness and affection for Ling Sui, she also opened the Aoqi video.
The recommendation on the platform’s homepage is a picture of Ling Suisui wearing red clothes and performing a fight scene - in fact, it wasn’t there an hour ago, but after Aoqi discovered that this set of pictures had gone viral, he immediately replaced it.
Xiao Zhou didn't pay attention to the words on the poster. The line read "The most exciting action movie of the summer is coming, bringing you a real immersive martial arts movie experience!"
This line of text was screenshoted and became a hot topic again.
Everyone can say that "Freedom House" is indeed a hit comedy. Not only is the content in the play light-hearted and funny, but the stories outside the play are also exciting.

Xiao Zhou didn’t have a membership at Aoqi, so she started watching from the first episode.
As she watched, she was amused by the plot and laughed out loud. When her other roommates came back, she saw the two of them giggling foolishly in front of the tablet, and occasionally lying on the table laughing.
Other roommates: …
They found it strange at first, but then they found out that the two men were watching Freedom House, and then they understood.
"Why are you still watching the first episode? We caught up with the latest episode last night."
Xiao Zhou was surprised: "Ah? So you are all watching?"
My roommate nodded: "Yes, this drama is super popular. Many people in our class watch it. Didn't you see it when you were watching short videos?"
Xiao Zhou shook his head in confusion. It seemed that the information cocoon created by the big data algorithm was really powerful.
Although she is not the target audience of this drama in the eyes of big data, she now likes it very much and can't stop watching it once she started.
Xiao Zhou watched a few free episodes and was completely hooked. Her roommate wanted to use her Ochi membership, so she recharged it on the Freedom House page for a month, and at the same time helped the series to attract new users and reach a higher level of popularity.
There are currently thirty episodes of "Freedom House", and tomorrow will be the end for members.
Yay! I just got into the plot and found out it’s about to end. The joy of being able to finish it in one go is simply too great!
Xiao Zhou is happy now, but after she finished watching these thirty episodes in two consecutive days, she will feel melancholy and reluctant.
“How come there are only 32 episodes…”
Xiao Zhou was disappointed: "It was finished in a short time. Couldn't you have taken more photos? It will be gone after tonight's!"
Her roommate was particularly happy to find that there were new fans of the drama.
Her roommate gave her some pointers: "Do you want to watch the drama promotion variety show of the six-member group? It's really hilarious, not inferior to the main drama at all. Let me tell you, my Chen Lin is super funny. When he and Ling Suisui played the game of guessing the answer, I laughed so hard that my stomach hurt."
Xiao Zhou's eyes lit up: "Where can I watch it?"
"Basically, all Ochi can be watched, except for Happy Sunday, which can only be watched on Fruit TV."
Xiao Zhou went to watch the variety show with great interest and felt that he was doing well again.
After she finished watching it, she couldn't help but search with "Ling Sui Sui" as the keyword, and planned to add "Ding Feng Bo" and "Jin Bang Ti Ming" to her viewing list.
She followed Ling Suisui and the celebrity topic on Weibo. Seeing Ling Suisui all over the homepage, she felt inexplicably happy.
Xiao Zhou said happily: "I seem to have experienced a little bit of the joy of chasing stars."
Roommate: "Really? Let me tell you..."
"I like Ling Suisui so much now. I am particularly interested in everything about her."
"When I first saw her daily vlogs, we were both ordinary college students. Now she is a big star, and I am still an ordinary college student."
"Vocal, Ling Sui's experience is so inspiring. I've decided that I will also roll up from tomorrow!"
Roommate: ...
She originally thought that the other person was Chen Lin, and she shed tears in her heart.
The recommendation of "Freedom House" was indeed sold, and the one who attracted fans was Ling Suisui.
But she really didn't have much to say. Although Chen Lin was also the protagonist of the group portrait, when it came to attracting traffic to the show, it still had to be Ling Suisui.
Moreover, ever since "Freedom House" became popular, the drama has been facing attacks and rumors from fans of the leading actors of two other major projects. Fans of the drama and the leading actors are paving the way for clarification every day, and the internal atmosphere is very united and harmonious.
A low-cost web drama was able to turn the tide, from surviving in the cracks to becoming the most discussed show during the summer. It’s hard to say how much the total revenue will be, but just looking at the profit margin, it will definitely become the champion of the year for Aoqi, a miracle that will be difficult to replicate.
"Freedom House" has a strong plot, is full of topics and popularity, and has received high ratings on various platforms. Although 8.2 is not very high, it is far ahead of the other two dramas that have not yet been rated.
The only flaw is that the final popularity of "Freedom House" did not exceed 10,000. Even the finale was stuck at 9,900+. Not to mention the fans of the leading actors, many fans of the drama were angry about this.
Yunhe’s playback data clearly shows that the average playback volume of "Freedom House" is 45 million per episode, and it is currently ranked fifth in the year. If such data cannot exceed 10,000, how can the average playback volume of Aoqi's fantasy drama be less than 30 million per episode?
Just because the protagonists are Ochi's prince and princess, do they have to save face for the S+ project at all costs? Such a double standard!
The creative team of "Freedom House" was also helpless about this.
The popularity of their drama is real, but it is still a little short of breaking 10,000. After all, the membership broadcast schedule of "Freedom House" is only fourteen days in total. If it can be updated with only a few episodes per week like other dramas to extend the popular period, it will definitely exceed 10,000 in a few days.
But there is no way around it. After the show is aired, there will only be additional episodes, no slowing down or stopping the updates. We can't affect the audience's interest just for the popularity data.
As for the fantasy drama on the platform...the industry insiders have seen through it but won't reveal it.
The male and female protagonists of that drama have a total of five dramas to be broadcast on Aoqi. This alone shows how deep the cooperative relationship between the actors and the platform is.
In this case, no matter who the platform wrongs, it will never wrong them.
Even if we don't talk about the complicated interests involved in those dramas, and only talk about the internal affairs of Aoqi Video, whether their drama can gain more than 10,000 views is related to the dividends of many senior executives and the performance bonuses of employees.
Tong Xiaoman comforted her: "Aoqi's popularity value can only be used as a reference. Everyone in the industry knows what's going on."
Others have false popularity of over 10,000, but Freedom House has already sold the copyright to multiple satellite TV stations and will soon be broadcast on satellite TV multiple times.
Tong Xiaoman: "I have another good news for you. The title for LV has been decided. It's brand ambassador."
In addition, as Prada has already signed the contract, shot the relevant materials and is only waiting for the official announcement, Ling Suisui already has two high-end luxury ambassadors.
With her popularity, starring roles in TV series, and the Magnolia Award for Best Supporting Actress, she has fought her way through the siege among the 2000 flowers and successfully secured a place in the first echelon.
