Chapter 515 "Prepare for a drug test!"
Long before the broadcast of "Beginning", many people had predicted online that this would definitely be another hit.
Arclight's production, S+-level production, novel subject matter and the foundation of the previous works in the same series have laid an excellent audience base for this drama.
However, after the actual broadcast, it was discovered that the effect of this drama far exceeded previous predictions. At
the beginning of the summer vacation in June, "Beginning" launched the first three episodes on Heng Video. On the day of the broadcast, the popularity on the site exceeded 8,000, and the daily playback volume exceeded 100 million.
After the second week of update, the popularity on the site had already exceeded 10,000, with a cumulative playback volume of nearly 400 million. The TV series topic list and the popularity list both topped the list, and more than 300 hot searches were on the list in less than ten days.
If the data still has a certain amount of water, then the discussion on the Internet is real.
"Canon", "Cycle", "Auntie Pot", "Prepare for a drug test"... The plot and lines in the play were talked about by many fans and audiences, becoming a hot topic for a while and starting to spread across the circle.
【No matter where I am recently, whenever I hear "Canon", my heart trembles. 】
【Don't mention it. When I was riding the bus yesterday, an auntie came up with a red plastic bag. My friend and I stared at her all the way in fear. 】
【So, are you posting with us in a loop now? (Funny)】
【Lao Zhang: Did you have this symptom before, or did you just have it today? (Serious face)】
【……】
Comments like these have been constantly appearing in the message areas of major platforms in recent times, which shows how great the influence of "The Beginning" is.
The affected audience not only watched it online, but also wanted to check in on the spot. It happened that the summer vacation was recently, and many people wanted to travel, so many people chose Blue Island as their destination.
With many previous experiences such as "Guarding Blue Mountain West", the Blue Island Cultural Tourism Department is now familiar with this situation.
The official released the route map of "Bus Route 45 of "The Beginning"" through Weibo and short video accounts, marking the locations of various check-in points for fans to check.
Blue Island itself is a tourist city, and it is even more crowded during the summer vacation. And this summer, the flow of people will definitely be even greater.
However, in addition to the popularity of the series itself, the biggest beneficiaries are the main actors.
The male lead Lin Yi previously became popular for his role as "Gu Weiyi" in "A Love So Beautiful", and this time he became popular again for his role as "Xiao Heyun", a science and engineering man, and was nicknamed "Little River Fish" by the audience.
Another person who is loved by the audience is Liu Yijun, who fully demonstrated the image of an experienced, resourceful, and determined criminal police captain who is dedicated to the people in the play.
Since "The Pretender" became popular, his image has been hovering between "old silver coin" and "cunning villain", but he didn't expect to be "whitewashed" directly this time.
This is also a good thing. In another month, "Sweeping Black Storm" will be broadcast, and he plays the leader of the supervision team in it, which is just right for the audience to adapt in advance.
In addition, Liu Dan, who plays "Auntie Guo", and Zeng Kelang, who plays "Lu·Apostle of the Cat·Conqueror of Asthma·The One Chosen by Light·Flute", have also become popular.
But to be honest, the one who got the most bonus was Zhao Jinmai.
The little girl was a child star, and most of the roles she had played before were "daughter" and so on. Therefore, in the impression of the audience and fans, she was always a little sister who had not grown up.
However, after "The Beginning" was broadcast, many people suddenly realized that the little girl in their memory had grown into a young girl in the blink of an eye.
For many actors in the domestic entertainment industry, there is a so-called "fixed positioning". If you became popular with a certain type of role before, then everyone's memory of you will always stay on that image.
Once you play a role with a different setting, the audience will find it very strange.
Especially child stars, who have grown up from childhood, are just children in the eyes of the audience. If they want to transform when they grow up, they must come up with a role that is convincing enough to change the audience's impression.
Many child stars have become "indistinguishable from the crowd" after growing up, and almost all of them have failed at this step.
It must be said that the role of "Li Shiqing" came too timely for Zhao Jinmai. It just so happens that she is also a college student now, and the audience and fans can directly bring it into it.
This also means that from now on, the scripts she takes on can no longer be limited to "rebellious daughter" and "middle school student", but can be the first heroine of various themes such as ancient idols and modern stories.
The little girl has been very happy in recent days. After all, no actor wants to always play the role of a middle school student. If it weren't for the exam week and she had no time, she would have come to find Meng Bai a long
time ago. Even so, she also video calls every day. Talk about the exam situation, and then ask about the latest results of "Beginning".
"Tomorrow is the premiere of "The Accidental Detective", right?"
Zhao Jinmai's little face appeared on the screen, and she seemed to be lying on the bed in the dormitory from the background. Although she was not wearing any makeup and was under the ceiling lighting, her energetic girlish aura still shone through the screen.
Meng Bai smiled and nodded: "Yes, tomorrow at Wanda Cinema in CBD."
"Well, it's a pity that I have an exam tomorrow and can't go." The little girl pouted.
"Yeah, it's a pity, otherwise I could take advantage of your current popularity."
"Hehe, it's okay, I'll post a cheering video to help everyone promote it."
"That's fine, but don't pay too much attention to it, just do well in the exam first." Meng Bai reminded: "I have contacted your tutor, if your grades are good, I can give you a place in graduate school in your senior year."
"Graduate school... I feel that acting skills are still based on experience, right?"
"Acting skills are acting skills, and academic qualifications are academic qualifications. If you can graduate with a master's degree, it will definitely be a bonus to your image and so on."
"Okay, then I'll work hard!" Zhao Jinmai's little face was full of fighting spirit.
After chatting for a few more sentences, Meng Bai saw her suddenly stand up and look to the side. At the same time, he could vaguely hear the voice of his roommate, asking her if she wanted to go to the library to review.
"Okay, wait for me a moment."
Zhao Jinmai responded, then turned his head: "Brother Meng Bai, let's not talk for now, I have to go to review."
"Good luck on your exam."
"Thank you. Goodbye, boyfriend."
"Goodbye, girlfriend."
After hanging up the video, Zhao Jinmai recalled Meng Bai's address and couldn't help but smile.
"You smiled so happily after the call, Mai Mai, are you in love?" The roommate next to him asked jokingly.
Zhao Jinmai neither denied nor admitted it, but packed up his books and patted his roommate on the shoulder: "Let's go, I guess there won't be any seats in the library now."
Well, the exam week will be over in two days, and there will be plenty of time by then. Before going to Tokyo, I must meet my "boyfriend".
