Chapter 88 088 How awful it is to insult yourself!
Chapter 88
Sangzi's only thought was—Lin Yuan is so busy.
Before she even took her afternoon nap, Lin Yuan was already sharing it, and when she woke up, he was still sharing it.
A fighting force as sharp as a spinning top.
Even more outrageous, some netizens have spoken out against the marketing accounts because of this—
[Anyone whose post wasn't reposted by Lin Yuan is a nobody! No way!]
Sang Zi: "..."
Isn't this just escalating the conflict?
In short, thanks to Lin Yuan's vigorous promotion, the whole world now knows that "Major Cases" has surpassed 10,000 views.
The marketing accounts wanted to continue posting and mocking to stop Lin Yuan from reposting, but unfortunately, after the popularity of "Major Cases" exceeded 10,000, it never dropped and the popularity kept rising, so they couldn't find an excuse to mock it.
It's just one step away from reaching a popularity score of 13,000.
Of course, it's not that no one is sarcastic or sarcastic; for example, Ji Xiaming, a member of Wink, who has never acted in a single drama.
Ji Xiaming was very cautious in his sarcasm, using "certain people" to imply that they "have never seen anything like it" and are overjoyed that a single hit drama is all they need.
Lin Yuan actually dug him out from the shadows and specifically tagged him.
Lin Yuan stated that while creating a hit drama is difficult, it is far less impressive than the feat of destroying a long-running variety show.
The picture he used was none other than "The Sound of Music," whose next season is still nowhere in sight.
Ji Xiaming: "..."
Xingyao Video: "..."
Netizens watching the drama: "..."
"Hilarious! This is a classic case of 'smashing our own teammates' moment! If you hadn't mentioned it, Xingyao Video would have pretended this never happened."
"Xingyao Video was grinning from ear to ear when Lin Yuan punched it back down, hahaha."
Xingyao Video: I don't want to talk about it, so why do we have to bring it up? Can't we even enjoy this wonderful day?
"By the way, let me correct Ji Xiaming. What do you mean by 'rarely having a hit drama'? Everything our Xiaolin makes becomes a hit. He's an all-around, flawless, intelligent, and amazing kangaroo. Thank you."
Ji Xiaming only dared to make sarcastic remarks about Lin Yuan behind his back, and immediately went anonymous after being tagged by Lin Yuan.
To some extent, he could only secretly hate Lin Yuan—among the Wink members, in terms of career, he was not even as good as Ye Liuchuan and Xie Yu, and he couldn't compare to Lin Yuan at all, so he could only take the beating for nothing.
...
Lin Yuan's Weibo followers continued to grow. At first, he thought that his fans were attracted by his heroic attitude in arguing, since the more he reposted, the faster his follower count would increase.
It was only later that I realized "Major Crime" had become a hit.
The most obvious sign is that Qiu Heng has been mentioned very frequently in his comments section recently.
Lin Yuan also saved a lot of Qiu Heng's animated emoticons.
Although the script deserves much credit for the current popularity of "Major Cases", the fact that Lin Yuan is the lead actor in "Major Cases" will not change.
Thanks to the popularity of "The Powerful Minister", "Major Case" had the opportunity to be released during the summer, which led to a rise in word-of-mouth and a successful turnaround.
Although marketing accounts are subtly speculating that "Major Cases" and "The Powerful Minister" cannot prove Lin Yuan's ability to carry a drama, at least—Lin Yuan is very lucky.
In the entertainment industry, good luck is very important.
Among so many dramas produced in a year, the scripts for "The Powerful Minister" and "Major Cases" were definitely not the best, so why did these two dramas become hits?
It was destined that Lin Yuan would become famous.
"It's more accurate to say that Lin Yuan has good acting skills; the idea that he was just lucky is even more frustrating."
"The battle for male actors has officially begun."
The drama "Major Cases" garnered widespread attention from the very beginning, precisely because Lin Yuan already had the hit drama "The Powerful Minister," which propelled him to the second tier of actors, making him a household name among a group of young male actors.
With the addition of "Major Cases," Lin Yuan was qualified to break into the top tier.
Regardless, Lin Yuan was the most watched male celebrity this year.
The airing dates of the final episodes of "Major Cases" coincided with the nomination period for the Golden Wing Awards. Since "Thousand Mountains," Lin Yuan has not made any more films, so he naturally has nothing to do with this year's Golden Wing Awards.
However, this year, Geng Yue once again missed out on the Golden Wing Award.
To be precise, there wasn't even a nomination.
Unfortunately, this year's Best Supporting Actor nominees were all big names in the film industry or veteran supporting actors. Geng Yue's fans searched for a long time but couldn't find a suitable target, and could only mutter "Geng Yue regrettably lost the Golden Wing Award" and leave quietly.
Last year, Geng Yue's fans were able to criticize Lin Yuan, but they weren't so lucky this year.
"Was it a regrettable loss, or were we never even close to each other?"
“It’s possible that during the internal vote, Cao Guanghui received 200 votes and Geng Yue received 0 votes, which could still be considered a regrettable loss.”
"So, what does the Golden Wing Award have to do with your family? Every year before the nominations, you act like you're determined to win. Last year, Lin Yuan had no name recognition, and your family kept putting him down. A year has passed, what new achievements has Geng Yue made? Could he be even worse than Lin Yuan now?"
Geng Yue's fans were naturally unconvinced and presented various pieces of evidence to prove that Geng Yue is still a top-tier star.
"The only brand ambassador in Greater China for XX, the first person to wear X luxury goods globally, the first person to attend a fashion show, and featured on the covers of four major magazines... Who wants to see this? Laughable, do you really think Lin Yuan doesn't have this kind of thing?"
"...Even the viewership of travel variety shows is being counted. Has Geng Yue not appeared in any dramas or made any movies this year?"
"It was released, but the buzz was lukewarm. The film was an art film, so the box office was mediocre, and it didn't win any awards..."
Lin Yuan and Geng Yue had a conflict during the Golden Wing Award Best Supporting Actor nominations. The origin of their conflict, chronologically speaking, should be traced back to when Lin Yuan shot the cover of "UNO".
Lin Yuan and Geng Yue appeared in four major magazines at the same time, which Geng Yue's fans felt lowered Geng Yue's image.
"As a result, in just one year, Lin Yuan won the Golden Wing Award for Best Supporting Actor, had two hit dramas, and two hit songs. His momentum is approaching that of Geng Yue."
“Even in my opinion, Lin Yuan is a bit more famous than Geng Yue. He didn’t rely on anyone else to promote his two dramas, ‘The Powerful Minister’ and ‘Major Cases’. That’s a very solid achievement.”
"Hilarious! Geng Yue's fans are still looking down on Lin Yuan. What right do you have to look down on him? Do you really think it's still the time when Geng Yue can kick He Xun out of the variety show with just a word? Wake up, times have changed."
After the finale of "The Powerful Minister", He Xun was asked about Geng Yue by the media several times. He Xun was unwilling to talk about it. When the media got tired of asking, he said, "This kind of experience will only become the motivation for my struggle".
Every time He Xun is asked about it, the arrogance of Geng Yue's fans will be brought up again, and the attacks that Geng Yue's fans made on Lin Yuan during the Golden Wing Award nominations will be brought up again.
With the current popularity of "Major Cases," and given Lin Yuan's reputation for holding grudges, the media quickly approached him for an interview: "If a similar situation happened to you, would you refuse an artist from that company?"
I thought Lin Yuan would put on a show of politeness and make a show of it, but Lin Yuan answered very bluntly: "I should have said in advance that I don't want to share the stage with so-and-so. It's either me or him. I won't wait until the contract is signed before kicking him out."
Lin Yuan stated that he was straightforward and lacked manners, while Geng Yue's actions were cunning and malicious.
Geng Yue's fans, however, continued to evade the issue, claiming that the guest list was decided by the production team and that Geng Yue had no choice, and that everything was purely coincidental.
"Yes, yes, yes, it's purely a coincidence. I am the only one who can exist without him."
Geng Yue's fans: "..."
I've never seen a celebrity with such low character as Lin Yuan, just going around in circles with the same single sentence.
While criticizing Lin Yuan for his low character, Geng Yue's fans couldn't help but also mock Lin Yuan, saying, "Now that he's famous, does he really think he's so important? Will the production team consider his feelings?"
"Hilarious! Lin Yuan isn't naive enough to think he's on par with Geng Yue, is he?"
Geng Yue's fans admit that Geng Yue's performance in the film and television industry this year is not as good as Lin Yuan's, but in terms of past achievements, Geng Yue definitely surpasses Lin Yuan, okay?
"Just a nouveau riche, someone who can't be presented in a formal setting." — This is what Geng Yue's fans said.
Then—Lin Yuan has probably been too idle lately, because he quietly and casually showed off his Golden Wing Award trophy.
Sorry, he even went up on the Golden Wing Award stage.
“Some people can’t even get onto the platform.” Although Lin Yuan himself didn’t say this, it was still incredibly impactful on Geng Yue.
Geng Yue's fans are eager to find an opportunity to prove themselves.
Coincidentally, the annual TV drama awards ceremony is approaching.
The TV Drama Awards Ceremony is a grand event for TV drama professionals, co-hosted by various satellite TV stations and video platforms. On this occasion, the order of appearance and seating arrangements of the stars are strictly arranged according to their status, without regard to the "popularity" mentioned by fans or the general public's perception. Instead, the arrangements are made based on the judgment of the satellite TV stations and platforms, as well as the reputation of industry professionals.
Therefore, the TV drama awards ceremony is also known as the annual reshuffling of star power.
In the past two years, Geng Yue's seat was in the first row, and his appearance order was relatively late.
This year, Geng Yue was invited to attend the TV Drama Awards again, and Lin Yuan, who has made a name for himself with the dramas "Major Case" and "The Powerful Minister", will also be favored by the TV Drama Awards this year.
...
The invitation to the TV drama awards ceremony was indeed delivered to Lin Yuan.
Lin Yuan also saw those comments online.
To be honest, he was deliberately trying to annoy Geng Yue; he just didn't like Geng Yue.
Lin Yuan's thinking was simple—if Geng Yue had a problem with him, he should take it out on him; why bother He Xun?
For a while after filming "The Powerful Minister", He Xun didn't receive any good opportunities and had to make time for variety shows. However, he was suddenly kicked out of the show by the production team.
Once Geng Yue caused trouble for He Xun, Lin Yuan would happily keep causing him trouble like a perpetual motion machine.
Even searching a hundred times wouldn't be enough.
Feng Zeng: "..."
The agent rubbed his temples, wanting to say something, but after thinking for a moment decided against it.
Normally, Lin Yuan doesn't like to cause trouble, but once he starts, he can't stop for a while.
In matters like this, he couldn't control Lin Yuan at all. And what's amazing is that the more Lin Yuan and Geng Yue argued, the better his reputation became. Netizens said that Lin Yuan was one of the few truly righteous people in the entertainment industry, while praising him as a fighting kangaroo.
Feng Zeng: "..."
So, is it a human or a rat?
It's fair to say that his aesthetic sense has become out of touch with his fans.
"Are you going?" Feng Zeng asked.
"Of course I'll go," Lin Yuan replied readily.
"What if..."
Lin Yuan looked at his agent: "He's already so famous, why does he have to compare himself to me instead of others? Doesn't he think that his image has been lowered?"
Agent: "...You don't need to be so self-deprecating."
That sounds awful.
