Chapter 68
It's only a matter of time before the Golden List, the Internet and the TV stations both become popular
Now that she had arrived in the imperial capital, Tong Xiaoman extended her hotel room for half a month.
In addition to the previously scheduled Sina building tours, live broadcasts, and magazine shoots, Zhang Wen also made appointments with several well-known photographers to replenish her business photo inventory.
During this period, the discussion of "The List of Top Scholars" on the Internet continued to rise, and Ling Sui's interview video also made some contribution.
The live broadcast of the Jin Bang crew on Weibo was divided into two sessions. The first session was a tour of the building, which was overall entertaining in nature and included a lot of interactions; the second session was a more in-depth interview on the plot and characters.
Tang Bing only participated in the first game, which is a bit regrettable for Weibo. They felt that since Tang Bing had left, what meaningful words could the four remaining children say?
We can’t blame Weibo entirely for “youth discrimination”. Given the average level of domestic entertainment traffic stars, it’s hard for people to have confidence in them.
However, Ling Sui's performance gave them a big surprise.
When asked about the mother-daughter conflict between Zhang Zihan and Li Yuhua, Ling Sui gave a very apt description.
"Many people think that adolescents don't understand their parents' painstaking efforts, but this is not the case with Zhang Zihan."
"Faced with the pressure from Li Yuhua, she felt the pain was unbearable, but she was also rational and clear-headed. She knew very well that the person who hurt her also loved her, so she couldn't blame her mother and could only consume her emotions."
"Li Yuhua is not only Zhang Zihan's mother, but also her class teacher. These two identities combined have strengthened Li Yuhua's authority in her heart, but on the other hand have weakened the close relationship between daughter and mother."
"So Zhang Zihan would constantly reflect on whether she really didn't do well enough, which led to her mother wanting her to get into a good university. She also wanted to get into a good university. They obviously had the same goal, but she was in a very painful process, and she couldn't talk to her mother about it."
"She wasn't close to her mother, and her father was semi-invisible in the family, so she could only focus on studying and cared more about her test scores than others. Then Xue Yutong transferred to her school, and she hadn't yet maintained her top spot."
"After Zhang Zihan's grades dropped, the peaceful balance between her and Li Yuhua was lost. I think the problem between mother and daughter is relatively long-term, but in the special environment of the third year of high school, this conflict was intensified."
Ling Suisui also gave an example, which is stacking blocks.
The relationship between Zhang Zihan and Li Yuhua is like a building block without a solid foundation. Every time you put a piece on top, you increase the risk of it collapsing.
The college entrance examination is the most recent building block that has been put up. If you only reflect on the fact that this building block is not placed in the right position, then even if you have adjusted it, it will still collapse when you put down the next block.
If they want to make the building blocks solid, they have to start over again and rebuild the way the mother and daughter get along from the bottom-up logic, so that they can truly reconcile.
Due to the limitations of the interactive form, the content that can be sent out during live broadcasts are all short sentences, which are nothing more than comments such as "Sui Sui is awesome", "Well spoken", and "Good at analysis".
When the live broadcast ended and the video clip was posted online, "Top of the List", which was already a hot topic, sparked new discussions online.
Intergenerational relationships have always been a popular topic on the Internet, not to mention that it involves the college entrance examination, which is a topic that touches the hearts of many people. Whether they are audiences following the drama or passers-by, they can't help but participate in the discussion of "the person who hurts you actually loves you too."
Fans' analysis of her is naturally very exaggerated. Outside the fan circle, not everyone agrees with Ling Sui's explanation, but at least everyone can reach a consensus that this actress does have some knowledge.
Regardless, the points she makes deserve to be discussed, rather than just safe, meaningless nonsense.
Of course, Chinese people have a better impression of such actors than desperate illiterates.
After this interview came out, Zhang Zihan's fame far exceeded Ling Sui's, and the situation finally improved a little.
The ratings of "The List of Successful Actors" have been increasing steadily. A few days ago, it remained at 3.5-3.7. The latest data has exceeded 3.9, and it is only one step away from breaking 4.
The ratings here are calculated by episode. If it reaches a peak at a certain moment, it can continue to move higher.
The most terrifying thing is that only 2/3 of the Golden List has been aired so far, and many climax plots have not been aired yet.
Some people predict that it may set the highest ratings record after the revision of CVB. This makes it extremely embarrassing for some people who clamored "The current ratings of CCTV 1 are 2.5, and this drama just barely passes" when the Golden List was first broadcast.
Yes, 2.5 is just barely acceptable as an average viewership per episode, but aren’t all of their series trying to secure top 3 and strive for top 4?
As the discussion of "The Golden List" took off, the number of online broadcasts of the entire show also saw rapid growth. Up to now, the average playback volume of each episode of "Gold List" has exceeded 40 million, even though the program is locked as soon as it is broadcast and only one episode can be watched for free.
This data does not sound high, but if you really make a table, many large-scale web dramas that are purely broadcast on the Internet cannot beat it. What’s more, “The Name on the Golden List” hasn’t finished airing yet. Looking at the trend, there’s still a lot of room for the average episode price to rise.
Ling Suisui has a hunch that Ding Feng Bo, which has been sitting on the top spot of this year's online broadcast for half a year, will most likely be moved to Jin Bang Ti Ming.
It doesn’t matter even if it only gets second place. With the current results, Jin Bang has already made up for the last shortcoming of online broadcasting and has become the undisputed biggest hit of the year.
Anyway, with the long-lasting high level of discussion on the Golden List, it is only a matter of time before it becomes a hit on both the internet and TV.
Many netizens may not have watched it, but they have definitely heard of its name, are familiar with some of its plots, and have also seen clips of Zhang Zihan and the video of Ling Suisui explaining the relationships between the characters on Douzi.
Especially the emotional highlight in which she ate six bowls of rice in a row - this video has received two million likes on Douzi.
This data not only tops the list of video likes of the official Douban account of the Golden List with an overwhelming advantage, but is even better than Ying Nian's crying scene that was frantically marketed and promoted by the crew of "Ding Feng Bo".
Well... I always feel that the producer will cry more sadly than Zhang Zihan after seeing this result.
On the day this episode was broadcast, “with a pack of tissues” was a hot search on almost every social media platform.
It is not only wiping tears for Zhang Zihan, but also for the audience.
It's all Ling Sui's fault. This woman is really good at crying. She made everyone cry. QAQ
When other actors shed tears, they are acting out crying scenes, but when Zhang Zihan lies on the bed and cries, the audience will feel that she really needs comfort and is truly heartbroken and sad at this moment.
This is certainly a unique advantage of realistic themes, but it is also a testament to Ling Suisui's strong acting skills.
Ling Suisui thought that the show would soon air the love story between Xue Yuchen and Zhang Zihan.
In fact, many viewers have noticed this trend, but because the plot rhythm is well controlled and the emotional changes between the two characters have not affected the main atmosphere of preparing for the college entrance examination, the voices in this regard are not too loud.
But as Li Yuhua made the matter clear, the issue of "premature love" was brought to the forefront. To this end, the production team also specially prepared several publicity and public relations plans.
There is bound to be controversy when it comes to "romance" in TV dramas and movies about the college entrance examination, especially since "Top of the List" is currently so popular.
This drama has become a hit, and many colleagues in the industry are definitely unable to sit still. When interests are at stake, all personal connections are empty. If there is an opportunity to throw dirty water, no one will hesitate.
Tang Bing even chatted with Ling Suisui privately, asking her to be mentally prepared.
In recent years, there have been many examples of slandering and spreading rumors about characters in the name of discussing the plot, borrowing the direction of the plot, and then escalating to personal attacks. As the actor of Zhang Zihan and a rising young star born in the 2000s in the domestic entertainment industry, Ling Sui is sure to not escape this combination of punches.
Ling Suisui knew this well.
This is indeed a big challenge, but as long as it is controlled well, it is also a rare opportunity. In the entertainment industry, red and black have always been inseparable, and fortune and misfortune are interdependent.
She finished filming the entire series "The Name on the List". No one loved the role of Zhang Zihan more than her, and no one believed more than her that there must be no problem with the plot discussed by the main creators, director, and screenwriter.
To be honest, Ling Suisui was even looking forward to the actions of potential enemies.
She wanted to see if they had the ability to push this drama and this character to a new peak of popularity.

Ling Suisui: Countdown to the abuse of fans (.)
