Wen Yan hasn't been paying attention to these online updates lately.
However, the topic of flipping the 'Five Beauties of Chang'an' has generated a lot of discussion.
This is the effect the production team dreamed of in their publicity efforts.
So as soon as the topic gained traction, the production team rushed over to claim it.
The production team's official account immediately reposted the post and, following the lead of the original author, tagged Wen Yan, asking her to choose them.
Moreover, the director of "The Legend of Chang'an" immediately followed suit and replicated this approach.
Whether "The Legend of Chang'an" can be revived depends on the hard work of the entire crew of hundreds of people over three months, and whether it can be successfully presented to the audience.
None of the actors wanted their work to be buried like this.
Without even being notified by the production team, the "Five Beauties of Chang'an" spontaneously tagged Wen Yan.
Aside from the director, Gu Xiran was the first to do this.
In the original novel, he is clearly the ultimate winner, and in reality, he is also the most popular male actor among the "Five Beauties of Chang'an".
His post was more effective than the entire production team and director of "The Legend of Chang'an" combined.
The popularity of "The Legend of Chang'an" and the "Five Beauties of Chang'an" has thus reached a new level.
Wen Yan was also reminded by Qin Yulong.
"Log in to your account now and respond to the production team. They just talked to me. The publicity this time has exceeded everyone's expectations. We must make good use of this opportunity. The show will be broadcast soon, and we must create hype in advance."
Wen Yan nodded in understanding.
She took the phone from He Xing and asked Qin Yulong, "Did the production team make any requests, such as hoping I would respond in this way or that way?"
Qin Yulong chuckled: "It's not like you'd agree to any request the crew makes."
"Of course not. I will only agree to reasonable requests. I will not agree to anything that is unreasonable."
Qin Yulong gave her a knowing look: "They don't have any requirements, just don't mess up this publicity campaign. What about you, how do you plan to respond?"
“Haha,” Wen Yan laughed as she scrolled through the comments, “Since netizens like to joke around so much, I’ll joke around with them too.”
As she spoke, Wen Yan forwarded the original author's post and tagged all her colleagues from the film crew who had tagged her and asked her to reply.
Wen Yan V: The main point is to listen to advice. Of course I should share this good thing with everyone. We'll take turns from Monday to Friday, and the remaining two days will be for team building.
The production team has been waiting for Wen Yan's response.
As soon as she posted the update, the director immediately started crying under Wen Yan's post.
@Wenyan: Why am I not included?
Wen Yan's backend received so many comments that every time she posted a status update, there were 99+ new comments.
She did know that the director had replied to her.
But we couldn't get it, we simply couldn't get it.
Netizens were even more merciless.
@Director Li Ming: I'm sorry, director, this might be a bit offensive, and it might hurt your pride, but you know that when Halley's Comet came, plastic pollution had already entered a new era. Even volcanic eruptions and dinosaurs had to inhale more smoke, which is why ants discovered the increasingly serious aging population when they climbed trees. Yes, you're not among the most beautiful women in Chang'an. Forgive my bluntness, but your appearance doesn't qualify you for beauty, so give up. We in Chang'an won't even consider you, because you don't even have a place in the harem.
"Hahahaha, this is hilarious! Is this nonsensical reply upstairs the legendary 'read but reply randomly' message? I've learned something new! I suggest all the ladies memorize the whole thing!"
Li Ming V: That hits home, bro. Actually, I should have just said the last sentence. As a mentally sound person, I have some self-awareness.
Li Ming V: I'm crying my eyes out in the toilet.
Haha, pass this on! The director has fainted in the toilet! Everyone hurry and get him!
'Great, haha, let the person in question, Wen Yan, see this comment.'
'I'll fish too'
'I'm also trying to get in, but is it too late?'
'Oh my god, I'm late! The director already seems to have been thoroughly marinated.'
With everyone's help, the director's original comment was quickly built into a towering building of over 2,000 comments.
Wen Yan immediately noticed the director's comment.
In fact, the director had already approached Qin Yulong before even seeing any comments about her being salvaged.
Qin Yulong also conveyed the director's original words to Wen Yan.
"The director said he wants you to reply to him. You can reply in a funny way, make a gimmick, he doesn't care how it is."
"Are we really going to go this far?"
"That's unnecessary, lest we invite criticism."
"Understood!" Wen Yan immediately gave Qin Yulong an OK sign, and then quickly typed a line of text on her phone screen.
Wen Yan V: Because you're in management, director. How could I possibly choose someone from management? @Li Ming V: Why wasn't I included? @Wen Yan V
Wen Yan's reply was actually quite subtle.
Unfortunately, netizens' minds work too fast.
"Everyone, let me translate for you. So, what Wen Yan means is that the director is at best a eunuch-like chief eunuch, in charge of managing the beauties' plaques. Is that right, Director @LiMingV?"
The director kept staring at his phone. This post had the most likes and comments, so he immediately sent several crying emojis.
Everyone was amused by the director's reaction.
Immediately afterwards, the male actor who played the eunuch in the drama also saw this comment.
Qi Yun V: Director, so am I unemployed? You're even trying to steal my job?
Li Ming V: I hereby declare that your filming is finished right now, and you don't need to come tomorrow.
Qi Yun V: I'm sorry, I was wrong, Director, please give me another chance.
Li Ming V: Get lost, it's too late.
"Haha, I caught the live broadcast! This production crew seems so cheerful. A crew with so much fun can't possibly produce a bad show. I'm getting more and more excited for 'The Legend of Chang'an'!"
Me too, I heard it'll be airing soon, but when exactly?
'Ask the director, isn't the director very outgoing?'
"Someone has already asked, and the director has replied. Filming hasn't wrapped up yet. Although they say it will be released soon, the exact date hasn't been set. It will definitely be after filming is finished."
'Can't we film and broadcast at the same time? Haha, we can see which couple gets the most votes and then choose that one, since they're really a great pairing!'
'I don't care, haha, I like every couple anyway, I can accept whoever they are, just hurry up and air it, I'm in a drama drought!'
'I hereby declare that *The Legend of Chang'an* will be my next source of spiritual nourishment.'
Seeing that everyone was looking forward to the show's release, and even many casual viewers who didn't know about it before were introduced to it, the entire production team breathed a sigh of relief.
