"It's that idol drama that started filming around the same time as 'Shining Stars,' starring Xu Youyou and Ran Yunrui. We even stayed at the same hotel back then," Liu Rulan reminded her.
Xiao He immediately remembered: "Ah, I remember now."
There was a criminal hiding in Xu Youyou's room at the time, and he even helped catch him.
However, Xu Youyou was quite strange back then... Now, so much time has passed in the blink of an eye, and we don't know what happened afterward.
"The filming of 'Qing Guang Ru Chu' started around the same time as 'Zang Xing Shan Yao,' and now they're just starting their promotional campaign, with the broadcast time only one day later than ours," Liu Rulan continued. "However, their production team's actions are a bit baffling and purely disgusting."
"Huh? What do you mean?"
Xiao He was somewhat curious.
“You must know about Xu Youyou and Su Shengxi,” Liu Rulan said. “Yiman’er and Su Shengxi have a romantic entanglement in the drama, and with Su Shengxi’s relationship with Xu Youyou, now people online are even starting to link Yiman’er together, deliberately hyping up a love triangle, and taking advantage of the popularity of ‘Shining Stars’.”
"Huh?" Xiao He was shocked. "This works? Sister Man'er probably wants to tear them both apart."
"Yes."
Liu Rulan showed Xiao He several titles—
[Su Shengxi was robbed? Xu Youyou falls for someone else]
[Xu Youyou withdraws from the love triangle: Wishing Su Shengxi and Yiman'er well?]
[Is a relationship with three people too crowded? With Ran Yunrui included, the four of you making the most of your time together is better than anything else.]
Xiao He: Subway, mobile phone, question mark.
What is this?
Xiao He didn't understand and was greatly shocked.
"Promotional headline"
Liu Rulan said with pity.
Xiao He: "Huh?"
"Haven't you noticed? These days, the promotional materials for the shows don't include the characters' names, they just use the actors' names, making it seem like they've officially announced it." Liu Rulan shrugged. "That's just how they attract attention."
Nowadays, when platforms promote TV dramas, the titles they use are often very ambiguous.
For example, even though the female lead in a TV series is unexpectedly pregnant, various platforms insist on using the actress's own name when promoting the show. As a result, unsuspecting passersby who see the pop-up title will subconsciously assume that the actress is unexpectedly pregnant. They will then click on it out of curiosity and curiosity, only to find themselves redirected to a video app.
This tactic might indeed be effective in attracting traffic, but it's not so friendly to actors, especially many actresses. These headlines, in order to gain attention and traffic, will write anything to attract attention, and topics with a hint of sex scandal are commonplace, making people feel like they've swallowed a fly, which is extremely uncomfortable.
Of course, things aren't much better for male actors either. There are all sorts of news like "XX was arrested" and "XXX raided a woman's bedroom at night," making it seem like every time a male actor acts in a drama, he's going to be on a legal news channel.
Moreover, in reality, these situations are mostly promoted by the production team and the platform, essentially done by their own people. In many cases, the actors even tacitly approve of it, since they are unlikely to break ties with the production team and the platform over such matters.
Thus, this unhealthy phenomenon of actors gaining popularity has gradually evolved into what it is today.
