Chapter 296 Are You Going to Overcome the Tribulation?
The first round of broadcast of "Love O2O" has ended, but its influence is still spreading slowly.
The second round of broadcasts was quickly launched on Beijing TV and Litchi TV. Surprisingly, the ratings of the two radio stations on the first day of broadcast exceeded 1.
This is a result that many exclusive TV series cannot achieve in the first round.
On the Internet, the online broadcast volume of TV series is still slowly increasing, and 12 billion is not its limit.
Even after the update was completed, "Love O2O" has always firmly occupied the first place on Tencent Video's popular TV list.
If nothing unexpected happens, "Love O2O" will continue to top the list for a long time until another hit drama is released.
Nazha really became famous in one battle, and some media compared her with Zhao Liying, the "Xiao Gu" who became popular in the first half of the year.
They are called the two most surprising actresses in the field of TV dramas in 2015.
The hit drama "The Journey of Flower" was dominated by Zhao Liying, who reaped most of the profits from the hit drama.
In [Wei Wei], both the male and female protagonists are equally outstanding.
Nazha is slightly inferior in this regard.
However, due to her background, face shape and past experiences, Zhao Liying was exposed to a lot of negative information after she became famous.
People who don't like her say that she comes from a rural background, has a small round face, and looks rustic. As a result, although she is famous, she is not favored by big brands, especially some fashion resources, which are almost impossible for her to get.
In contrast to her, although Nazha is less famous, she is welcomed by major fashion brands because of her beautiful appearance, good figure and great sense of fashion.
Various endorsement invitations have been coming in like snowflakes, and her agent Wang Yanhong has been very busy recently. Helping her carefully select brands to cooperate with is a completely happy trouble.
But not all is good.
When "Love O2O" was popular, there were rumors about Gu Wei and Nazha on the Internet.
It’s just that the TV series had a lot of CP fans at the time, and these rumors helped to increase the popularity of "Love O2O" and helped the TV series become even more popular.
But now that Nazha has become very popular and "Love O2O" has finished airing, many rumors have started to spread.
There are rumors online that Nazha went from being a small-time artist who had never played the leading female role to becoming the leading female role in Gu Wei's TV series, all because she hooked up with a rich man and found a financial sponsor.
Some people also dug up the fact that she terminated her contract with Tangren and set up her own studio.
She had a contract with Tangren for another 6 years, but she suddenly terminated it last year. She then set up her own studio and got the resources to play the female lead in a hit drama. No one would believe that she had no background.
Rumors such as being with rich men, being kept by a sponsor, and being a resourceful person quickly spread on the Internet.
In the evening, the TV was playing "Diamond Lover" starring Tang Yan. Gu Wei and Nazha were sitting on the sofa, playing with their phones respectively. No one paid attention to what was playing on TV.
Gu Wei replied to the WeChat message with a smile on his face, and pressed the thumbs-up button skillfully on his phone.
He glanced down at Nazha who was leaning in his arms and raised his phone to avoid being seen by her.
Reba wanted to ask him out for dinner to thank him for taking care of her.
Although Gu Wei was very tempted, he had to reject her politely due to time constraints.
Gu Wei has a lot of things to do these two days, and Reba will be joining the crew soon, so the two of them don’t have a chance to get together for the time being.
After being rejected, Reba sent many beautiful selfies, looking pitiful.
Gu Wei raised the corner of his mouth and sent her a WeChat message to make an appointment to treat her to a big meal after the filming of "Eternal Love" started.
So, Reba sent another emoticon package of a happy little rabbit.
Gu Wei actually didn’t care that Nazha saw the chat history on his phone. He didn’t care. He was mainly afraid that it would affect the friendship between Nazha and Reba.
Since they met during the filming of "Gu Jian Qi Tan", Gu Wei knew that Reba was an ambitious girl.
She was well aware of the relationship between Gu Wei and her boss Da Mi Mi on the crew at that time.
Later, on the set of "Love O2O", she saw Nazha always by Gu Wei's side. After knowing their relationship, she still pretended nothing had happened. She went to the set every day as Nazha's best friend and had dinner with the actors of the "Love O2O" crew.
At her initiative, Gu Wei never lost contact with her.
Now that Gu Wei has become her boss and offered her resources, she feels that everything she did before was useful and wants to make progress even more.
As for her other boss Da Mimi and best friend Nazha, they were not within her consideration.
After chatting on WeChat, Gu Wei looked down at Nazha, who was wearing pink cartoon pajamas in his arms.
She had her hair tied up in a bun, and her pretty little face was wrinkled with a very annoyed expression.
"What's wrong?
How can I get angry just by browsing my phone?"
Gu Wei asked curiously.
"It's so abominable, these haters are too much, how can they spread rumors like this?
There are also some unscrupulous media outlets that really make me angry!"
Nazha's eyes were wide open and her mouth was puffed up, like an angry little frog.
"Okay, don't be angry anymore. You won't be pretty if you're angry anymore!"
Gu Wei comforted her and looked at her phone screen.
It's a news post from a self-media outlet
"From actress Nazha's career experience, we delve into her rich background and financial backers!"
I reached out and swiped across it, then looked at some netizens’ comments.
"So it's because of all the fake news online and the comments from haters~"
Gu Wei looked at Nazha's little expression and thought she was very cute. He reached out and pinched her fair little face.
"Damn it! I'm so angry!"
Naza gently slapped his mischievous hand away.
"Actually, from another perspective, the news online that smears you might not be a bad thing."
"Good thing?
Is it a good thing that they talk nonsense like this?
This is a slander on my reputation!"
Naza said angrily.
"Think about the female celebrities who were popular before you, Liu Yifei, Yang Mi, and this year's Zhao Liying. Which one of them didn't have negative news exposed all over the internet at the peak of their popularity?"
Naza thought about it.
"Yeah, that seems to be the case~"
"The entertainment industry is so small, and the resources and fans are limited. There are many other female celebrities of the same age as you who have similar career paths. If you become more popular, you will take up more resources, and they will take up less.
So when you rise, even if others don't personally instruct them, the companies behind them will suppress you for their own interests.
I think this is just like the cultivation in many novels about cultivating immortals. When your cultivation reaches a certain level, you have to go through tribulations, and after that you reach the top and become an immortal.
If you can't make it through, you'll either be devastated and never recover, or start practicing again, waiting for the next opportunity to achieve a higher level of cultivation and make it through again."
Gu Wei's novel statement caught Nazha's attention.
"So who in the entertainment industry has successfully overcome the tribulation, and who has failed?"
Gu Wei thought about it.
"Yang Mi has definitely overcome her tribulation. From [Chinese Paladin 3] to [Palace Lock Heart Jade] and then to [Ancient Swordsman Qi Tan], despite constant negative news, she has now been completely accepted by the audience thanks to her incredibly popular works and nonchalant attitude.
Secure her position as the top flower girl among the 85 generations.
A typical example of a failed tribulation is Wen Zhang from the past two years. Starting from "Struggle", "Snow Leopard", "Dwelling Narrowness", "Love Is Not Blind", and up to Zhou Xingchi's "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons", he almost reached the pinnacle of male actors in mainland China. Unfortunately, his extramarital affair completely ruined his career.
If you fail to overcome the tribulation, there is no chance of recovery."
"Wen Zhang's case also counts. He cheated on his wife and made his own mistakes. How can that count as a tribulation?"
Naza said unconvinced.
"Haha~ Cheating in marriage is wrong, but honestly, there are many celebrities in the entertainment industry who have made the same mistake as him, or even worse than him. Why was it that only Wen Zhang was completely brought down to the dust after his incident?
He stood too high and offended too many people along the way.
When a whale falls, all things come to life, and there are people everywhere who want to pick up its "corpse" and eat it.
His bad temper made him have very few friends, and no one protected him, so in the end he was abandoned by everyone."
Gu Wei explained it very thoroughly.
Naza listened thoughtfully, then she frowned and asked worriedly.
"Then what should I do?"
"It's very simple. As long as you don't break the law, don't do anything that goes against public order and morality, and continue to produce good works, over time, no one will care about these minor rumors, and your position will naturally become stable."
Gu Wei said as a matter of course.
This is what Zhao Liying did in the original time and space. At that time, she was surrounded by negative news and all kinds of rumors sounded like the truth.
But she never responded and only focused on one thing, which was filming.
With the release of one hit TV series after another, she has firmly established herself as the queen of TV dramas, and no one mentions the negative news about her debut anymore.
"I'm stupid, I just do whatever you tell me to do."
Nazha looked at Gu Wei pitifully with her big eyes. She didn't want to think too much. Anyway, Gu Wei would make decisions for her on all matters, so she just needed to be obedient.
Gu Wei stroked Nazha's head with a bit of amusement, as if he was stroking a pet kitten.
"I know you're stupid, so I've arranged everything for you. Just listen to your agent and the company's arrangements. Just don't say anything."
"Hmm~"
Nazha Qing snorted and buried her head in Gu Wei's chest, her fingers like green onions moving back and forth across his strong pectoral muscles.
"I love this damn sense of security."
Those who are interested can take a look.
