Chapter 138: An unexpected surprise, I have to put out the fire (guaranteed monthly ticket)
After hanging up the phone, Yu Xiaoshu opened Douhu and took a look. Something was indeed wrong.
"The Rumored Chen Qianqian" is actually about to break 9 points.
What is happening? ?
And after a quick look, I found that the scores were given suddenly on a large scale, and the scoring time period suddenly surged after 5 o'clock.
No wonder Zhang Ling called him.
Later, Liu Qianqian also called Yu Xiaoshu angrily: "Teacher Yu, you left the company?? Ah, did you check Douhu? I suspect we were maliciously cheated..."
"Mr. Liu, please don't be anxious."
Yu Xiaoshu shook his head and said, "Douhu has a strict monitoring mechanism. No one is so stupid."
Liu Qianqian said, “The other party gave us such a high score. It’s obvious that they want Douhu to activate the circuit breaker mechanism and lock the score directly. By then, everyone will know that The Rumored Chen Qianqian has a high score, and we will be blamed.”
Douhu has a circuit breaker mechanism, which will be activated when the rating of a certain work is found to be abnormal, and the work will be locked directly.
Previously, someone maliciously gave competitors high scores and activated the circuit breaker mechanism. Although the work finally proved to be fine, the reputation was still greatly affected.
After all, it is easy to spread rumors, but it is difficult to dispel them.
People always want to believe in first impressions.
But Liu Qianqian's worries were unnecessary.
"I just checked, this wave of ratings suddenly started at 5:15. I don't believe there is any idiot who would maliciously increase the ratings so obviously. Even if there is, there is no need to worry."
Yu Xiaoshu smiled and said, “Besides, I think the situation is not too bad.”
Liu Qianqian was puzzled: "What do you mean?"
"Zhang Ling just called me and told me about this, and then I took a look at the latest ratings on Douhu."
Yu Xiaoshu said: "Those who gave these ratings are all senior users of Douhu. I randomly selected 10 of them and the lowest one has been on Douhu for one year."
Liu Qianqian frowned: "What's going on?"
"I don't know, but there's no need for us to panic now."
Yu Xiaoshu shook his head slightly and said, "Besides, if there really is some idiot who wants to cheat us, then in the end he will just shoot himself in the foot. Okay, Mr. Liu, let's do this for now. I have a call."
After hanging up Liu Qianqian's call, Yu Xiaoshu answered Wang Bao's call and asked, "Uncle Wang, you know about this too?"
"Well, my assistant just told me that the ratings of "The Rumored Chen Qianqian" on Douhu suddenly became abnormal on a large scale."
Wang Bao said: "Xiao Shu, what do you think?"
"Take your time and read it."
Yu Xiaoshu was not so anxious: "Things will eventually become clear. Whether it is someone maliciously cheating or something else, it will become clear soon."
Wang Bao also laughed after hearing what Yu Xiaoshu said: "I am worried and confused, this matter is really nothing, then, we can talk about it tomorrow if there is anything."
"Yeah, okay."
Yu Xiaoshu nodded slightly.
After hanging up the phone, Yu Xiaoshu looked at the latest comments on "The Rumored Chen Qianqian" and was still a little confused.
These ratings are clearly not rational.
"The Rumored Chen Qianqian is really great, full marks."
“Although I haven’t watched “The Rumored Chen Qianqian” yet, I still give it a good review.”
“The Rumored Chen Qianqian deserves full marks.”
…
See for yourself.
How perfunctory are these ratings?
Anyone who has watched the ratings of this web drama will basically talk about a few characters, such as Chen Qianqian, Han Shuo, the duo of Bai Ji and Zi Rui who are more likely to cause trouble than to accomplish anything, or others such as Pei Heng and Chen Chuchu.
But these ratings can only prove one thing: there is a 90 percent probability that these people did not watch it.
In fact, at this moment, let alone Yu Xiaoshu and others, even Douhu's technical department was equally confused.
"What's going on?"
The head of the technical department looked at the data and said, "The rating of "The Rumored Chen Qianqian" is not low, why did they do this?"
The technician said, "And that seems too stupid. If you want to score points, you should at least separate the time periods."
"That's right. My girlfriend was supposed to have her birthday today, but now I have to work overtime."
"Damn, who said it wasn't? The goddess I've been licking for a long time agreed to watch a movie with me. Is it easy for me?"
In the data room, several other people also had some complaints.
We are all technical personnel. Apart from working with data and programming, most people are not socially anxious.
It's basically difficult for a programmer to find a partner.
During this period, everyone worked overtime every day. It was finally possible to get off work early, but ended up getting fired one by one.
"Okay, stop complaining."
The head of the technical department laughed and scolded: "Do you think I am willing to come? I promised my daughter that I would go to the movies with her today."
"Boss, that's not right."
At this time, a bald technician said: "Although the data of "The Rumored Chen Qianqian" is abnormal, the score is fine."
"What did you say??"
The head of the technical department frowned and said, "Is the rating okay?"
"Yes, it is indeed all right."
The bald man said, "I just checked and found that these IDs are all senior users of Douhu. Moreover, they are scattered in various places. It is obvious that they are not water armies."
"Not a navy?"
The head of the technical department frowned and said, "If it's not a water army, then why did the ratings suddenly soar so much during this period of time?"
"The problem may lie with Mu Lefeng and Ren Qiuyang."
The bald man pulled up some ratings and said, "These should be retaliatory ratings. They are dissatisfied with Mu Lefeng, so they turned to rate "The Rumored Chen Qianqian", and Ren Qiuyang's rating is probably because of his speech at the Imperial Capital Film Academy, and then..."
"So that's how it is."
The head of the technical department smiled bitterly and said, "I told you so. Our Douhu monitoring mechanism is the strongest in the entire Yuanxing. How could anyone be so stupid as to cheat or maliciously cheat?"
At the same time, Yu Xiaoshu, who had returned home, also understood what was going on.
"Teacher, I understand."
Yu Xiaoshu smiled and said, "I really didn't know that Mr. Ren would praise me so much in our school?"
"Yeah, I didn't expect that either. Who doesn't know that Mr. Ren has a bad temper, is straightforward, and has high demands?"
Zou Jun laughed and said, "This time, Mr. Ren has done a lot of publicity for you."
"Yes, it is true. The abnormal ratings on Douhu shocked me and the company."
Yu Xiaoshu smiled and said, "I didn't expect that they would happen at the same time, Mu Lefeng's speech and Mr. Ren's propaganda."
We are indeed catching up.
But none of the comments on Douhu mentioned this.
At 4:30 this afternoon, while promoting "The Lady Official", Mu Lefeng responded to the doubts. She believes that she is not an ageless goddess, and there are also wrinkles on her face, but she chose one person to play the role from 16 to 36 years old for the completeness of the entire drama "The Lady Official".
kindness.
Mu Lefeng believes that this is a manifestation of professionalism.
Then she thought that the so-called "girlish feeling" has always annoyed her, and that actors only need to speak through their works. Mu Lefeng even criticized the publicity of "The Female Official" for using the "girlish feeling" for publicity.
If, before "The Female Official", Mu Lefeng had said this, there would be no problem at all.
But now.
Lu Xia, played by Mu Lefeng, is supposed to have a girlish feel. It would be strange if a 16-year-old girl didn't have a girlish feel.
But what about Mu Lefeng?
She played a 16-year-old girl at the age of 40. The thick makeup on her face made her facial expression stiff, and her eyes did not have the lively look of a girl, but rather a dull look.
This is when it's obvious that something is wrong with the character, and no matter how good your acting is, you can't make up for it.
For this reason, over the past three days, everyone's criticism of Mu Lefeng is that she is not suitable for this role and, on the contrary, does not have the so-called girlish feel.
Besides, Mu Lefeng’s initial publicity was all about the image of a ‘girl’ and an ‘ageless goddess’.
It was you who promoted it in this way in the beginning, and it is you who are asking everyone not to do so now.
Isn't it obvious that she is just pretending to be a whore?
Originally, Mu Lefeng wanted to put out the fire with these words, but not only did he fail to put it out, but he aroused the dissatisfaction of some people.
Among them, Hao Liu was among them.
During these three days, Hao Liu had completely shifted his focus to someone else. He was determined to please Bao Nan, but he felt less and less happy about Mu Lefeng.
Hao Liu sometimes wondered why he was so stupid to lick such a thing for so long? ?
He has been blacklisted by Mu Lefeng's fan club because he used a mini program to disband Mu Lefeng's fan club group.
Of course, Hao Liu didn't care.
He is such a consistent person. In the past, he could fight with other star fan clubs for hundreds of rounds just to lick Mu Lefeng. Now, he can also fight with Mu Lefeng's fan club just to lick Bao Nan.
What’s more important is that Mu Lefeng’s speech today was very green tea.
You have to know that the people who know a star best are always his crazy fans, so when they stop being fans and start turning against him, the destructive power is enormous.
But Hao Liu is a collector.
Over the years, he has basically saved all of Mu Lefeng's updates, including various promotional slogans.
Let me put it this way, Hao Liu has a 6T hard drive, which is full of Mu Lefeng's information, and it is divided very detailed, with many kinds of labels. Basically, Hao Liu can quickly find out what Mu Lefeng said on which year and which day.
Hao Liu was even able to quickly discover things that Mu Lefeng and her agent Ding Hong didn't know.
The person who knows best what Mu Lefeng said, did, and publicized in recent years is Hao Liu.
So when Mu Lefeng talked about the "girlish feeling" thing again on the social platform, Hao Liu directly slapped her in the face.
She took screenshots of all of Mu Lefeng’s marketing keywords since 2015, all of which were posted on Mu Lefeng’s social media platforms.
Young girl.
Young girl.
Still a fucking girl.
Hao Liu said directly: "Can you have some shame?? I really regret liking you for so many years. You were the one who said you had a girlish look, but what about now? The film you shot is not good, and you said you don't want people to point at you saying you have a girlish look? Do you have any shame??"
After Hao Liu made this comment, he posted 160 updates in a row.
This is so fucking fast.
Moreover, each piece of update is Mu Lefeng’s previous speech and promotional materials.
Slap in the face.
Because Hao Liu was quite famous in the group before, although the president of the fan club regarded Hao Liu as disposable garbage, many people did not think so.
If even long-time fans are like this, then who am I?
Coupled with the inconsistent words of Hao Liufa and Mu Lefeng in recent years, some fans who were not so stupid chose to leave the group for a while.
The key point is that Hao Liu is really a high-level lick dog. In order to lick Bao Nan, he even wrote on each dynamic: "Please go and see how Bao Nan shows her girlishness in "The Rumored Chen Qianqian"."
So, Hao Liu, this bootlicker, brought a little crisis to his former goddess.
It is said to be a minor crisis because it cannot cause any substantial harm to Mu Lefeng. After all, which celebrity has never had a slap in the face?
What is a real brain-dead fan?
That is, even if the star’s face is swollen, the crazy fans will still believe in it.
Take love for example.
There was a marketing campaign that broke the news that a celebrity was in a relationship, and then a bunch of stupid fans said, "Thank you, we won't date, how many years has this been old news?"
In the end, when the celebrities themselves announced that they were in a relationship, it turned out that it was the marketing account that broke the news.
At this point, the brainless fans said: "Blessings, so happy."
You know, the star himself denied it at first.
But what’s the use?
Fans never cared about this.
Look, even if Hao Liu produced all kinds of evidence, the brainless fans still didn't think Mu Lefeng was wrong.
Xiaofeng just said what she believed at each period. How can this be considered a slap in the face?
This explanation is absolutely perfect.
It's simply speechless.
Even Mu Lefeng didn’t expect that this fan would help me explain it like this? ?
Of course, those who hate Mu Lefeng and give high scores to "The Rumored Chen Qianqian" are a minority. The real reason why people gave high scores to "The Rumored Chen Qianqian" is because of Ren Qiuyang.
Ren Qiuyang is a platinum writer and the No. 1 screenwriter for TV dramas. Although he has stopped writing scripts in recent years due to his age, the war trilogy he wrote directly initiated the war craze.
The most important thing is the diversity of Ren Qiuyang's themes.
Not only did he write about wars, he also wrote about family matters. His last work before he retired was a costume comedy, which also achieved great success.
Never defeated.
Ren Qiuyang is a legend in the history of Yuanxing screenwriters.
Five years ago, Ren Qiuyang stopped writing after finishing his last costume comedy "Good Man Zhang Dabing". Since then, every time he appeared in public, it was for an interview or a speech at a university.
After all, Ren Qiuyang still hopes that there will be more and more fresh blood among screenwriters.
At 4 o'clock this afternoon, he gave a speech at the Imperial Capital Film Academy, mainly talking about what a screenwriter should do. Ren Qiuyang said that one should never give up learning.
He believes that the reason for his success is that he can learn anytime and anywhere.
Then we talked about the online drama "The Rumored Chen Qianqian".
He said: "At the beginning, I had the same idea as everyone else. I thought Yu Xiaoshu was courting death by hastily switching to writing a costume drama. But then I thought, didn't I also face some doubts when I switched to writing a costume drama for the last time? So I temporarily put aside my prejudice and watched this drama. I want to say that I hope all screenwriters can watch this drama, not just for the plot, but also to learn how to be a good screenwriter."
This evaluation by Ren Qiuyang is very high.
The most important thing is that he has many students all over the world, and his support for "The Rumored Chen Qianqian" has a huge effect.
After all, this is Yuanxing. The influence of a top screenwriter, a legendary screenwriter is unpredictable.
Under such circumstances, it is understandable that the score of "The Rumored Chen Qianqian" suddenly soared to more than 5 points.
This is a pleasant surprise.
After understanding the situation, Yu Xiaoshu called Liu Qianqian and Wang Bao respectively and told them that this was a good thing and that we could take advantage of the opportunity to carry out another wave of publicity.
So, after a night of fermentation, the score of "The Rumored Chen Qianqian" actually reached 8.9 points, just one step away from 9 points.
On the contrary, the rating of "The Lady Officer" fell further.
The audience's patience is running out.
"I just want to ask, can you recover to 36 years old as soon as possible?? Revenge quickly."
"After these two episodes, I'm still 16 years old. I really feel awkward."
"I'll put up with it for two more episodes. If the next two episodes still show her age being 16, I won't watch it anymore."
…
Because yesterday's episodes 5 and 6 were still about a 16-year-old's plot, many viewers felt angry.
After Yu Xiaoshu arrived at Baiqian Media, he urgently held a meeting.
"Uncle Wang, we need to put out the fire."
Yu Xiaoshu said to Wang Bao: "Now 'The Rumored Chen Qianqian' is too high-brow."
Wang Bao nodded gently: "Yes, I also found that this score is a bit high."
"There's no way. Who would have thought that a top platinum player would have such a huge influence?"
Yu Xiaoshu said somewhat bitterly.
This is the power of platinum on Yuanxing.
Top platinum can even affect Douhu's ratings.
It’s…scary.
Originally, it was a good thing for Mr. Ren to help with publicity.
But Yu Xiaoshu underestimated the power of Mr. Ren. If he gave such a score, "The Rumored Chen Qianqian" would probably get 9 points.
This has raised the audience's expectations to the maximum. If the subsequent plot of "The Rumored Chen Qianqian" is not satisfactory, the reputation will suffer a huge collapse.
This is not what Yu Xiaoshu likes.
Yu Xiaoshu even speculated that there might be someone fanning the flames in order to praise and destroy "The Rumored Chen Qianqian".
Wang Bao understood this principle, but Liu Qianqian didn't. She was puzzled and asked, "Wouldn't it be better to get a higher score? We are clearly in the upper hand now. Aren't we going to kill Female Official? Isn't this good?"
Yu Xiaoshu shook his head and said, "Boss Liu, a higher score is good, but too high a score would be bad. This "The Rumored Chen Qianqian" is about to be praised to the sky."
"this…"
Liu Qianqian still didn’t quite understand.
But she understood that if she didn't understand, she wouldn't get involved, so she said, "Just tell me what to do."
"Put out the fire."
Yu Xiaoshu said: "Li Yang, you are responsible for putting out the fire and making the current atmosphere less extreme and one-sided."
Li Yang said: "Teacher Yu, I understand."
"good."
Yu Xiaoshu said: "The follow-up is also very important to us. Let's all take action. Mr. Liu, you can be quiet for a while. Since Liu Xiang and Li Ruhai have both been fired by Tiger Star Films, there is no need for us to target this matter anymore."
After the meeting, Yu Xiaoshu went directly to the Imperial Capital Film and Television Base.
"Teacher Yu."
When Yu Xiaoshu arrived at the crew, everyone else looked at him with excitement.
Bao Nan was better off. People like Wang Ziyi, Pei Jun and others looked at Yu Xiaoshu with almost gratitude.
Wang Ziyi did not receive much response for his role as Huang Mao in "The Undocumented Crime", but now his fans on social media platforms have soared by 500,000 in the past three days thanks to his role as Han Shuo in "The Rumored Chen Qianqian".
That’s not all, his trending searches actually automatically went up.
As for Pei Jun, it's similar. He was a newcomer who had been waiting for a long time. At the age of 29, he had no opportunities, but now he has gained a large number of fans online with the role of Baiji.
The other actors also gained a lot of benefits.
"The Rumored Chen Qianqian" has just started airing, and the result is definitely predictable.
"Okay, everyone, go back to your own business. It's far from time to celebrate."
Yu Xiaoshu waved his hand and asked everyone to leave, and he called Bao Nan to stop him.
"Nannan..."
Yu Xiaoshu shouted to this point and suddenly looked at Xiaoguo beside him: "Huh?? Why didn't you say anything??"
Xiao Guo, however, acted like a lackey: "Teacher Yu, please sit down and have some fruit. You and Nan Nan are good friends, so it's appropriate to address me as you please. What I did before was indeed wrong. I have reflected on myself and I did not do well..."
It's so fake.
Xiaoguo's look was so fake that it was beyond belief. Yu Xiaoshu looked at Xiaoguo and said, "That's not right. Although "The Rumored Chen Qianqian" is a big hit now, I didn't see you like this when "The Undocumented Crime" was a big hit. Tell me, do you have something to ask of me?"
"That's nothing."
Xiao Guo waved her hands and said, "Teacher Yu, am I the kind of person who would just flatter someone else? If you don't believe me, ask Nan Nan. I really understand it deeply..."
"All right."
Yu Xiaoshu said with a smile: "I was in a good mood today. I thought if you had anything to ask me, I would help you as long as it was not too big. Since you have nothing to do, forget it. Okay, I'll leave first."
Xiao Guo: “???”
"Nan Nan, I actually have nothing else to do on the set today. I just want to check the progress and adjust the playback schedule accordingly. Now that you have become more popular with Chen Qianqian, you should not speak out for now."
Yu Xiaoshu said: "Tell your company's people not to post soft articles. Posting soft articles at this time will have a negative effect, especially don't step on Mu Lefeng."
Bao Nan said: "I see. I was discussing this promotion with Xiao Guo."
"There's no rush for the promotion. Just wait until the celebration party."
Yu Xiaoshu laughed, then he looked at Xiaoguo and said, "Xiaoguo, are you really okay? I'm leaving now. I tell you, if you miss this opportunity, you won't be able to find it again."
"I……"
At this time, Xiaoguo's face was almost turning into that of a husky that was about to destroy the house.
