As expected, after the news of a limited edition mermaid figurine being sold for hundreds of thousands of dollars was broadcast, the mermaid figurine became popular.
Not only were 5,000 pieces of the same mermaid sculpture figurine sold out in a short period of time, but the second part of "The Mermaid Love Song" "The Mermaid Queen" also became popular before it was even aired.
The production team did not expect such a good thing to happen, so they carefully followed the online public opinion trends while promoting the new drama according to their original steps.

There are as many as five hot search terms related to this drama, because the crew released the trailer first, and then netizens noticed that Pipi and Liangliang were in the cast list, and the names of those turtles also appeared on it, and were marked by the crew as friendly guest appearances. Netizens
: "..."
I've never seen such a long time! This is
the first time I've seen a crew that respects animals so much, and this drama actually found those protected animals on Xingzhou Island to film? !
"Of course!" Director Fu replied during the interview, "Although it was a friendly guest appearance, they also received pay."
Speaking of this, Director Fu talked about the time when he went to discuss cooperation with Li Yaolin and the management station, the management station agreed to allow protected animals to appear in the film. It was useless to disagree, because when the crew was filming underwater, Pipi and the others would still run to watch when they should, and sometimes when they were filming on the shore, they would make noises to disturb the filming, like local tyrants asking for protection fees and making trouble if they were not given. But the condition was that the producers had to pay them.
These pays did not refer to money given to the management station, but sponsorship or donations to the official fund project to cultivate large seaweed to repair the marine ecology.
The crew's approach won everyone's favor, and no one went to argue whether it was too cruel to let animals cooperate in filming a TV series.
However, a rival company that was airing a new drama at the same time hired navy soldiers to criticize it. The crew directly released the real-life shooting footage of Yu Xiaoyu, who played the teenage mermaid queen:
In the blue sea, the warm sunlight shone through the water layer into the ocean, and a beautiful figure suddenly jumped up from the bottom of the sea, with a long tail swaying, and the sunlight shining on the tail, shining brightly.
Her hair was black and shiny, but I don't know if it was affected by the color of the sea water, but there seemed to be a blue light emerging, making her hair look like it was neither black nor blue.
She took the seaweed on the dugong's head and wrapped it around her body, which just happened to become a small vest woven with seaweed. After getting new clothes, she turned over happily in the sea, causing a few bubbles to appear in the seawater.
At this time, the little turtles swam over. She stretched out her fingers and gestured a few times. The little turtles followed her movements, swimming neatly to the left and then to the right.
When she was having a lot of fun, a Pipi dolphin appeared. It broke up the team of little turtles. Many little turtles were bounced out for a long time after being hit by it, but fortunately their tortoise shells had become hard and they were not injured in the collision. The
little mermaid seemed a little angry, but the Pipi dolphin took the initiative to come over and cuddle with her. She smiled again and was carried to the surface of the sea by the Pipi dolphin.
…
The footage was shot in just a few minutes, but it took netizens a long time to come back to their senses. When they came back to their senses, they were shocked:
“Is this a real shot? Isn’t this a post-production special effect of interpolating the screen? I have goosebumps.”
“This fishtail prop is too realistic? If the studio of mermaid art photos can have such realistic props, I won’t cry, o(╥﹏╥)o”
“Wuwuwu, why is it Loli?”
“What do you want to do upstairs?”
“The actor Yu Xiaoyu is already an adult, but she is petite and her face is a little chubby.”
“I thought it was the island owner, because only the island owner can command these little cuties, right?”
"As someone who has met the island owner, I think he is not that short."
The comment by user XXAXX has been deleted.
"Pfft, didn't the actors complain about this?"
"It's what he deserves. Who told him to attack the actors' bodies?"
"Ahhh, hurry up and start airing it. Even advanced streaming is fine. I'm willing to pay for it!"
...
The role of the young mermaid queen has directly raised the expectations of netizens for this drama. Because they felt that this unrealistic adventure theme with a heroine was not suitable for satellite TV, they regretted it and contacted the producer overnight to buy the copyright to discuss broadcasting it during the prime time. The sponsors were grinning from ear to ear.
But this incident also put great pressure on the female lead Song Ruqing. After all, Yu Xiaoyu's performance was like a real mermaid, and everyone wanted to see the story of the mermaid queen in the sea. Most of her scenes were on land, and the residence of the mermaid royal family was also filmed in a curtain environment. There were many post-production special effects, which might disappoint people.
The assistant comforted her and said, "The filming is over, and the pay has been received. The rest is not something you should worry about, so why worry so much?"
At this time, the agent came over with a bunch of things and said, "These are gifts sent by the film company and Xingzhou Island. They are for the live lottery tomorrow night. By the way, this is for you."
Song Ruqing, who was originally listless, saw the transparent gift box in front of her, and her eyes lit up: "Is this my model?"
The agent smiled and said, "Yes, it was made according to your image, isn't it similar?"
Song Ruqing was so happy that she didn't want to unpack it, but she saw a small card in the gift box, so she had to reluctantly unpack it and take out the small card.
On it was a message written to her by the designer who made this figure, and he also said that he had watched her shoot at that time and felt that she was the most suitable to play the role of the mermaid queen, and looked forward to more of her works.
She felt warmed up and no longer felt so nervous about her performance in the play.
She carefully picked up her figurine and looked at it. Suddenly, she found a familiar seal on the base...
Before she could say anything, the assistant beside her screamed: "Ah, it's the seal of the island owner. The island owner stamped it. Sister Qing, quickly, quickly lock the safe!"
Song Ruqing's eyes were filled with tears: After two years, she finally got the seal... Although it was not on the postcard, it didn't matter. It was more meaningful on this figurine!
While she was still moved, the assistant's words interrupted her thoughts. She asked: "Lock the safe?"
"Yes, Sister Qing, you don't know, the last mermaid sculpture figurine with the island owner's seal was sold for nearly 190,000 yuan!"
Song Ruqing's hand trembled, and the wristband almost slipped out of her hand. Fortunately, it was not made of glass, otherwise it would have been broken into pieces. But, after all, it cost more than 100,000 yuan, and she felt bad if there was a black spot on it!
"Yes, we need to put it in a safe. After all, there are too many people in the company. It's a bit dangerous!"
The agent: "..."
Although she was also surprised and nervous, she still advised them: "Be calm and low-key. The more nervous you are, the more likely it is to arouse other people's suspicion."
Song Ruqing asked: "Should I post it online to help advertise?"
"Xingzhou Island has no requirements, and I don't know their attitude. Why don't you ask the island owner privately?"
Song Ruqing: "..."
She didn't have the island owner's contact information, so she could only find him through V blog, but the other party was so busy, would he have time to read private messages? What if there were too many private messages and she didn't see them?
After a little hesitation, she still took a photo and sent it to the island owner, and expressed her gratitude.
After waiting anxiously for half a night, the island owner didn't reply, so she went to bed without hope. As a result, the next day, after she finished her work, she took the opportunity to open her V blog before the live broadcast started, and then found that Special Attention had replied to her!
The island owner said: "Don't thank me, it's a gift from my assistant."
Song Ruqing was stunned, and then she remembered that the island owner's assistant seemed to be Yu Xiaoyu.
She was almost moved to tears again.
She didn't actually have any scenes with Yu Xiaoyu, but because the scenes of several scenes were in the same place, Director Fu filmed them together, so they had the opportunity to meet.
During the filming process, she also took the initiative to contact Yu Xiaoyu, but the other party was a little indifferent to her. She didn't want to be cold, so she slowly distanced herself from the other party.
Later, Yu Xiaoyu had no role, and they never met again. The other party did not show up at the final banquet, and there was no other party in the live broadcast promotion tonight. If she hadn't met him before, she almost thought that this person didn't exist in the world.
Unexpectedly!
She thought that she thought that. In fact, the other party could give her such a valuable gift, which shows that the other party is actually very kind-hearted. Maybe he ignored her at the beginning because he was shy.
...
"She has to go to work during the day, how can she have time to chat with her every day?!" The little mermaid snorted.
Li Yaolin touched his chin: "No wonder you always doze off in the APP sometimes, it turns out that you are doing other things."
"..."
Li Yaolin asked it: "There are so many people in the crew, why did you only give it to her?"
The little mermaid said righteously: "She is the one who plays the mermaid queen. I have never heard of a mermaid queen. How special!"
Li Yaolin: "..."
I don't understand your logic, but I hope you are happy!
As she was getting ready for work, the little mermaid suddenly asked her coyly, "Isn't the island owner always curious about what I look like? Why didn't you watch the trailer?"
Li Yaolin said, "I saw it, but that wasn't your real face. I felt like I was just looking at a fictional character. By the way, your tail at that time... didn't the photographer doubt you at all?"
The little mermaid said proudly, "I instructed the props team to make the props and taught them how to make the props more realistic. They didn't doubt you at all."
Li Yaolin: …Even if they have doubts, they won’t say it easily, after all, after the last hot search, whoever says it out loud will become a laughing stock. "
Whether anyone in the crew doubts the true identity of the little mermaid, Li Yaolin doesn’t know, but she knows that many people on the Internet who used to scold it because of the farce of jumping into the sea have instantly turned from haters to fans, and began to call it "my little mermaid" on the left and "my fish baby" on the right. Its fans have also increased by hundreds of thousands, and the growth rate is even more exaggerated than when Li Yaolin opened her V blog.
When the show was broadcast, the ratings, reputation and broadcast volume all climbed steadily, and when it was broadcast, it was already the peak season for coastal tourist attractions, so a large number of tourists once again poured into the oil market, and the nearby Yangshi scenic spots were all visited.
Thanks to this drama, many cultural and creative products of Xingzhou Island are in short supply.
Li Yaolin roughly calculated the revenue, and as those financial experts guessed, Xingzhou Island's revenue this year may really exceed 3 billion.
The first quarter financial report has been released a long time ago. Starting from New Year's Day, the turnover of the first three months of the first quarter has exceeded 900 million. You should know that the first quarter is often the off-season for coastal tourism due to weather reasons, but Xingzhou Island can still achieve such a brilliant performance, and the sea cable car has a great contribution. In winter,
when you go to the beach to play, you will always be uncomfortable with the sea breeze, but the sea cable car is not affected by this, so there is a constant stream of tourists riding the cable car.
In addition, in spring, most areas in the south experience the return of the south wind, but on Xingzhou Island, there is no need to worry about the walls being as wet as waterfalls. Tourists feel comfortable whether they are staying or playing on the island, so the impact of the season is not that great.
Deputy General Manager Qi said with high spirits: "When the two islands of 'Pilot' and 'Light' are opened, our turnover will double again!"
Li Yaolin nodded and said, "You reminded me, I have to go and check on the progress there."
Since the beginning of the year, she has been planning some projects that are not very expensive, and now is a good time to go and inspect them.
The author has something to say:
The Little Mermaid: Not the protagonist, but better than the protagonist, proud!
