Chapter 146
In fact, it is not just the film and television forums that raise such questions.
Someone also posted a similar message on Weibo, and it received quite a lot of responses.
There are always some people in this world who pass by the world's top popular stars and guard their own obscure little piece of land. But at the same time, they will not miss any hot spots.
This blogger named "Strawberry Latte Three Points Sweet" is such a type.
She has her own wall, but she knows Jie Xichao and loves to follow TV series. She followed two dramas, Li Xi Chao. This is the third time.
She was really surprised, and because she was also a well-known UP host with a certain amount of traffic, this Weibo post quickly received hundreds of comments.
"I agree. He is really handsome. I almost didn't recognize him when I watched "The Weird" today. I don't think he has the traditional handsome look. He has a soft look. How come he looks so handsome and upright in the drama?"
"Ahhh, I'm watching "Ghost" too! I think it's makeup? There's a difference between idol makeup and actor makeup, right?"
"But he was still an autistic high school boy in his last drama. The contrast is too big. It feels like his appearance hasn't changed but his temperament has been completely transformed. It's amazing."
"I feel like it's the acting that's helped... Those who can have a show-throwing effect either look too unmemorable or are really awesome, and Jie Xichao is obviously not the former."
With two dramas as a foundation, the audience should not be as shocked by Xie Xichao's acting skills as they were in the first two times.
But no one expected that because the role he played was so different from the previous ones, he once again aroused heated discussions among the audience with the popularity of "Ghost".
In Pei Yiman's words: "Baby, you are destined to be popular."
It is still questionable whether it is destiny that brings good fortune. After all, if you look closely, you won't be able to find an actor in three generations who is able to be abandoned at a young age and has no ineffective role. But some people's defenses were truly broken.
-
Almost as soon as he saw the heated discussion on the forum, Yu Lin's eyes turned red.
He first refreshed the post a few times in disbelief, and after confirming that the next few pages that appeared were all discussing Jie Xichao, he smashed his phone away.
The phone hit the hotel carpet with a dull thud. Yu Lin almost felt dizzy when he stood up. He said to the assistant who rushed in after hearing the noise: "Go! Go and call Cao Anyin to me!"
Soon, the head of the public relations department of Yu Lin Studio arrived at the hotel, sweating profusely.
Yu Lin looked at him and said coldly: "I want an explanation."
The other party was in great pain, but still said with gritted teeth: "It's already been laid out. I originally wanted to use real reviews as a basis to increase the popularity, thinking that this way passers-by would not be easily rebellious..."
He was halfway through his words when he met Yu Lin's eyes.
So he swallowed the second half of the sentence.
He stiffly continued the unfinished sentence: "...Now the marketing account has been arranged. With the subsequent highlight plot, there will definitely be no problem this time."
Yu Lin didn't say anything.
Cao Anyin carefully picked up his phone and put it on the table. He thought that it was not easy to earn this salary, and comforted Yu Lin: "Boss, there is no need to compare traffic and reputation with Xie Xichao."
"Let's not talk about anything else." He said, "Just look at Dou Fei. He is Director Lu's favorite student, from a famous and upright family, and he has become the other party's stepping stone. The role of Di Shuo has actually received a lot of praise this time. If his reputation is established in the later period, the popularity will rise."
The staff around Yu Lin are replaced once in a while, but Cao Anyin is a rare one who has stayed with him for two years.
After hearing his words, Yu Lin's inability to vent his anger finally disappeared a little.
He said, “A lot of good reviews?”
Cao Anyin immediately took out some prepared data.
"Yes. Look..." He showed him his phone. "These are some of the hottest posts on mainstream social software. Most of them are discussing you."
Yu Lin took a look and remained silent.
Seeing that his expression had eased slightly, Cao Anyin breathed a sigh of relief.
*
In fact, although Cao Anyin was comforting Yu Lin, he was also telling the truth.
He specializes in public relations. Although he is a little surprised by the current situation, he is not particularly shocked overall.
What surprised him was that Jie Xichao's acting skills were really good enough to break through the shackles of traffic. And when he realized Jie Xichao's outstanding performance this time, all the popularity was no longer surprising.
Yu Lin is proud and arrogant, but Cao Anyin knows very well that not everyone can be called a top star.
It would be a fantasy to think that a male star with zero negative news and a high national popularity could be eliminated simply by suppressing his personality.
For Yu Lin, he did not come from a traffic background. What is important is not how many people mentioned him, but how many of those who mentioned him recognized him.
This ratio is still very high.
There was one thing Cao Anyin didn't dare to say, which was that they seemed to have turned from the active party to the passive party since they didn't know when.
No matter if it was because Yu Lin lost control because of Jie Xichao, or now that the show is being broadcast, Yu Lin is angered by Jie Xichao's popularity. In fact, these were not the things they should care about, especially the accidental strangulation, which was really...
Cao Anyin didn't dare to think further.
He vaguely felt that Yu Lin's emotions and behavior were on the verge of getting out of control in this incident, and his sixth sense gave him a very bad premonition. But at the moment, it is obviously more important to follow up on the promotion of "Ghost" and ensure that this role can have a successful conclusion, and then win the awards.
-
After Cao Anyin calmed Yu Lin down, he finally calmed down for a short while from his irritable state.
At the same time, their carefully planned publicity and promotion plan was also proceeding in an orderly manner and finally achieved remarkable results.
This is thanks to the updates that were aired later.
To some extent, Yu Lin's strategy would be effective if he was facing any actor instead of Jie Xichao.
Because the prerequisite for the audience to be moved is indeed sufficient emotional rendering. At this point, characters who are born with stories and have great emotions are more advantageous.
In the following updates, Yu Lin did not appear very often.
It wasn't until the third case that Di Shuo's role began to increase significantly.
The third case is a group case. It tells the story of a group of young social scum who are tempted by profit and are lured step by step from blackmail to robbery, and finally fall into the abyss of crime because of "accidental murder".
Of course, the first murder was not committed by this group of thugs. One of them killed the person being blackmailed and got his companions drunk, making it look like they had beaten the victim to death while drunk. From then on, the group truly embarked on the path of desperadoes. The instigator was a boy of about seventeen or eighteen years old, and was also a student taught by Di Shuo.
This boy named Dai Yu also has an antisocial personality. He is also the only person who has seen Di Shuo's true appearance. He had an extremely fanatical and morbid obsession with this master.
In the end, he was arrested by the police and never gave Di Shuo away. It was not until Di Shuo was finally arrested that this instigation became known to everyone.
*
Dai Yu doesn’t have many scenes, but because he is a supporting role, almost every scene is the highlight. His character is also unique, and if he plays his role well, he will be a highlight. It’s a pity that the actor they found is a minor idol. Not only did he fail to lose weight to the morbidly thin effect that Meng Xuran wanted because of his greed, but his acting skills were also very dull.
This role was naturally chosen by Yu Linfang. As soon as his several scenes with Yu Lin came out, the public reaction was extremely intense.
The problem with a drama is that it’s not bad, but it’s bad that everyone else is good but one person sucks.
That night, the young idol’s acting skills were mocked by the public and became a hot topic. Also uploaded was #YuLin's Eyes, which showed clips of the two acting against each other.
The marketing account was enthusiastic:
Today's new actors are getting worse and worse. In this scene, Chen Runcan was simply beaten by Teacher Yu. The TV King is still the TV King.
I totally agree with you.
"It's really lame. A good perverted scene with a perverted little one was played out by him like plain water..."
"Yu Lin is indeed very experienced. He handled several details very well, which made the other actor even better. It turns out that acting requires contrast and foil."
"Well, there is only one Jie Xichao in this world. Chen, you should go back and practice before coming back."
After being on the trending searches for several rounds, the little idol was scolded to death. Yu Lin finally felt better.
The only annoying thing is that even if you praise him, some people will still mention Jie Xichao.
He thought about it and called Cao Anyin over: "Didn't someone compare me to Jie Xichao before? Let's stir up those posts."
Cao Anyin had just breathed a sigh of relief, but after hearing this, he felt a little embarrassed: "This... why don't we just forget it? He has so many fans, and his acting skills..."
He thought that it would be fine to just criticize the real counterfeit goods. The momentum was finally getting better, and he didn't want to accidentally overturn it again.
To be honest, he just wanted to avoid Jie Xichao now.
But Yu Lin glanced at him.
This look was so eerie that it reminded Cao Anyin of Di Shuo in the drama. He was so scared that he swallowed the rest of his words.
Soon, those posts that had been silent for a long time resurfaced.
-
When the tit-for-tat quarrel between Xie Xichao and Yu Lin's fan circles was brought to the surface again, Xie Xichao was hanging around in the studio.
He had just finished shooting for a magazine and was still wearing a black shirt with dark patterns. He looked lazy and sexy. But what he did was far from that.
When Pei Yi looked up with a pale face, he saw his boss smiling, with poisonous look written on his left cheek and cunning look written on his right eye. He said, "Are you willing to accept the loss?"
Pei Yiman: “…”
He silently opened his phone and placed orders for everyone in the office.
Soon, everyone drank the milk tea prepared by Director Pei.
Pei Yiman also drank a cup and said incoherently: "So, baby, how did you know that Yu Lin would drag you into this? No, it's okay if he's stupid, but Cao Anyin is also stupid?"
Fang Qingqing can answer this question.
She said: "Of course it's because his boss is really good at pinching people, while your gentle and kind boss hasn't deducted your year-end bonus even though you called him baby so many times."
Pei Yiman's expression was solemn: "A baby is a baby. Even if they deduct my year-end bonus, I will defend my right to call him baby."
He paused and said carefully, "So it won't really be deducted, right?"
Jie Xichao laughed so hard that he turned his back and coughed.
He said, "Okay, stop being poor. Go get some work."
Pei Yiman smiled and said, "As you wish."
He turned around and quickly began to collect current public opinion, and then held a meeting in the afternoon.
*
Xie Xichao guessed that Yu Lin would not stop just because he knew Yu Lin well.
The wave of public opinion when the show first aired had upset Yu Lin greatly, and now all he could think about was competing with Jie Xichao. Chen Runcan gave him confidence, but he overlooked one thing, that is, he could beat Chen Runcan, but he could only beat Chen Runcan. It’s a pity that even if his subordinates knew about this, they would not risk their lives to remind him due to his tyranny.
If he hadn't brought up Jie Xichao, he could still have a reputation as a great actor, but he brought up Jie Xichao.
When those controversies first surfaced, they did cause some arguments.
In the early stage, Jie Xichao and Yu Lin had almost no rivalry. The two sides were equivalent to two parallel lines, with occasional intersections, and it was when Yu Lin just moved in opposite Jie Xichao's house.
But in this scene, Jie Xichao is a completely innocent person, while Yu Lin has a lot of psychological activities, and the two are balanced, so the audience can't see anything. So there are all kinds of opinions. Because of Yu Lin's natural advantage of being a professional, many people still have a certain filter towards him.
This "equally matched" situation lasted for about a week, and then it was broken by a play.
This scene was the one that Jie Xichao played freely and directly used the words of "Di Shuo".
-
The final version of this scene was still a free-improvisation version. This was not due to Jie Xichao's coercion, but the director Meng Xuran's natural instinct.
He still cherishes his work. Xie Xichao's performance in this segment was so outstanding that he was reluctant to cut it out.
After much thought, he decided to do something tricky.
There were about two or three clips. After he showed them to Yu Lin, he replaced the already edited film before submitting it for review. He was delighted and the audience was shocked.
When the show started that day, Xie Xichao's fans were still exchanging sarcastic comments with Yu Lin's fans on the forum, but then the group message suddenly went off, and the sisters in the group were like repeating machines: "Ahhh! Update! Go watch the two episodes updated today! Go!"
So, fans fighting on the front line clicked on the two newly updated episodes in confusion.
The already familiar opening theme song ended, followed by a chaotic arrest, and then a small, dark interrogation room.
It's hard to describe what this feeling is like.
Since Xie Xichao played Huo Xiangyang, most of his images are nervous, serious and tired.
On the road to finding the truth, he was dragged by a powerful villain, fell into a trap in the fog, and was confused by the carefully crafted tricks. He tried in vain to comfort the victims' families, listened to their heart-wrenching cries, and felt the pressure brought by public opinion and responsibility.
There is no denying that "Strange" is a wonderful drama.
But so far, in addition to being immersed in the plot, most viewers are more powerless and helpless about the truth that is always buried in the fog.
——Until today.
Solution...Huo Xiangyang cleared the fog.
He is calm.
Even though he had been tortured to the point of gnashing his teeth and being physically and mentally exhausted, his first words when he sat in the interrogation room were still in a relaxed tone: "Coffee or water?"
When the steaming hot coffee was served, Di Shuo knocked the cup over and the scalding coffee dripped onto his hand, but his expression didn't change at all.
Without even blinking.
But when he actually sat in the chair in the interrogation room, he became the sharp, powerful and experienced criminal investigation captain.
This is a straightforward and satisfying suppression.
Whether in the play or outside the play.
In the play, Di Shuo's forehead was covered with sweat due to the questions asked. In the end, due to insufficient evidence, he still escaped. But everyone saw his slightly trembling fingers.
Off-screen...
That night, Xie Xichao's interrogation scene became a hot topic, but this time it was no longer a short-lived flash in the pan like Yu Lin's did in the past.
*
——To use the words of an unknown enthusiastic audience member, acting is something that requires contrast and foil.
Rivalry is the most direct mirror that exposes the truth.
Especially when this is a play that is inherently confrontational in nature and is not influenced by any external factors.
Before the show was even finished, someone immediately posted on Weibo.
[In this scene between Jie Xichao and Yu Lin, isn’t Yu Lin being suppressed too badly? Doesn’t Di Shuo still occupy the dominant position in the play? Why do you look like a loser?]
Or our enthusiastic passerby, Teacher Strawberry Latte Three Minutes Sweet.
Her comment was as popular as ever.
"Really? My god! Those who knew about it thought he was released in the end, while those who didn't know thought he was convicted. It made me sweat."
"In fact, Di Shuo has the upper hand in terms of the lines. It's not time for him to enter yet, but Teacher Xiao Chao has such a strong aura that it gives people the feeling that the sword of justice is about to pierce the chest of this pervert. It makes my heart surge."
"Rather than saying that Jie Xichao has a strong aura, it's better to say that Yu Lin didn't live up to it... He is a pervert. Didn't he always claim in the drama that he could manipulate the police? Is that it?"
"I also think that Chao's acting is always accurate. Although he pretends to be relaxed, you can see that he is still anxious. After all, there is not enough substantial evidence to convict him. I think his acting is fine."
"…This question is too simple. Just refer to Yu Lin and Chen Runcan. In a battle between two strong men, the stronger one is fine. What does that prove? Isn't it that the other one can't hold up? In fact, I always thought that Yu Lin's acting skills were just so-so, but I really wouldn't know unless we put them together. Tsk, what are we still arguing about? The results are out."
[What are you arguing about?] This sentence also appeared in the film and television forum.
Because of the competitive conflicts of interest during the same period, this place is almost the most unfriendly place to Jie Xichao on the entire social platform. But today, their tone was surprisingly consistent.
[Xie Xichao is really awesome. Not everyone can be called Ziweixing]
[…I think the crushing victory is a bit exaggerated, but the difference is indeed quite obvious. Yu Lin should reflect on why he is not as good as his juniors after more than ten years of acting.]
[I've been wanting to say this for a long time, Yu Lin, stop buying hype searches and using internet trolls. Do you really think we are blind? Isn't it disgusting to curse about traffic while doing things that only benefit traffic...]
Seeing that public opinion was becoming more and more unfavorable, Yu Lin went crazy.
He grabbed Cao Anyin, his eyes red as if blood was about to drip out. But Cao Anyin was too busy to comfort him. He quickly contacted his public relations staff and convened an emergency meeting overnight in a panic.
Before the meeting was over, another piece of bad news came.
A new hot post popped up in the film and television section.
[So, can anyone tell me why, in "Ghost", a serious criminal investigation suspense drama, a perverted villain has so many scenes and highlights? 】
