Chapter 464 Checking the Trending Topics
The drama "Having a Story with You" finally aired in early September this year after filming wrapped up last September.
After seeing the finished product, a TV station has already bought the broadcasting rights to the show and is airing it on satellite TV.
This drama focuses on a heart-wrenching love story, and the promotional direction is mainly based on the romantic pairings.
The male lead, Xi Yizhou, also wanted to use this drama to further his acting career, so the two hit it off and started promoting their on-screen couple.
When Shen Xuewei returned to her hotel after finishing get off work on set, she opened Weibo and saw the two's intimate interactions in the promotional materials, as if they were really a couple. She couldn't help but sigh that these two were indeed actors.
Who would have thought that these two people were actually at odds on set?
Off-camera, they were rolling their eyes at each other.
These two people, standing together, do have a great sense of chemistry, both on and off screen.
Xi Yizhou is a second- or third-tier celebrity who is opportunistic and arrogant.
He caused the most trouble during the filming of the movie.
They complained about everything, from the billing order to the amount of screen time.
The production crew even considered replacing him because of the controversy.
His agent came to the set and begged for apologies in a humble manner. In addition, Yu Minghua gave him an ultimatum: "Act or don't, if you don't want to act, get out." Only then did he become much more obedient.
More than a year later, Xu Yue, who had fallen into the mud, made a comeback and became a hot actress.
When they met again, his attitude was completely different from before, and he even actively started to create a CP (couple pairing) with Xu Yue.
Xu Yue still disliked him, but in order not to affect the drama, she cooperated with the promotion.
With the money in hand, Tide Media upgraded its promotional efforts for "A Journey with You," unlike their previous stingy approach with "Above the Thorns."
The publicity was strong, the marketing was effective, and the plot perfectly combined the extreme torment of love and the tragic fate.
With unconventional character designs, poignant emotional tension, and highly compatible audiovisual presentation, it strikes a chord with the audience regarding the aesthetics of tragic endings.
The drama depicts a tragic love story between the two characters, while off-screen, they collaborate on promotional activities. "A Story with You" became a viral hit in September.
Xu Yue gained eight million Weibo followers during the show's airing.
Xi Yizhou gained nearly ten million fans thanks to this drama, becoming a top-tier star and a hot new representative.
While gaining followers is certainly welcome, nearly a third of these new followers are fans of the two as a couple.
The number of fans who ship the two is truly impressive.
They do all sorts of data analysis and buy merchandise related to the endorsements, showing their enthusiastic support. However, they also frequently post personal attacks and slams on each other's Weibo accounts.
Every time they post a Weibo, they immediately dominate the top comments.
Two months after the drama ended, Xu Yue had just finished filming a scene on set. While looking at her Weibo on her phone, she found that all sorts of CP fans were swarming in the comments section, and her brows almost knotted together in worry.
The drama has been over for two months, and in principle, she and Xi Yizhou should gradually distance themselves from each other, but these CP fans just won't accept it.
She and Xi Yizhou just accidentally used the same product, which was discovered by these CP fans, and it became irrefutable proof that the two were together off-screen, with everyone saying "They're shipping them!"...
While she was thinking about breaking free from the association, Xi Yizhou also wanted to break free from the association, but at the same time, he also wanted this group of capable fans.
As a result, Xu Yueren diligently filmed on set, but negative trending topics suddenly appeared online.
#Xu Yue's alleged extramarital affair with CEO of Chaoxi Media exposed#
The accompanying photo was of the two having a private meal together.
This revelation quickly became a trending topic.
Tide Media reacted promptly, quickly releasing evidence after the news went viral and denying that it was a dinner gathering of all senior executives of the company, and stating that they would sue the rumor-mongers.
The clarification immediately topped the trending searches, and the blogger who had previously exposed Xu Yue and Shen Zhiwei quickly deleted the post and apologized.
Shen Xuewei's team was very efficient and quickly discovered who was behind it all.
If you want to ruin a female celebrity, spreading rumors about her is the simplest and most effective way.
Tide Media's clarification and evidence were timely, but it's inevitable that some people will think:
Ah, is there really some relationship between these two, which is why Tide Media is giving Xu Yue so many resources and protecting her so much?
This move disgusted both Xu Yue and Shen Xuewei.
Xu Yue filmed normally during the day, but after finishing work and returning to the hotel, she ran to Shen Xuewei's room and screamed angrily.
"I'm so angry, Weiwei! That Xi Yizhou is disgusting! Getting involved with him is like getting stuck with a pile of stinky dog poop that I can't get rid of! I'm so angry, I'm really going to die of anger..."
She jumped up and down several times before suddenly grabbing her phone.
"No way! This kid dared to treat me like this, I won't let him get away with it. Let me find out what dirt he has on me, I'll make sure he trends on social media to get revenge..."
An eye for an eye; Xu Yue is not one to suffer in silence.
If you dare to treat her like that, you should be prepared for her to retaliate.
She frantically searched for dirt on Xi Yizhou, only to find that Shen Xuewei had been sitting on the sofa ever since she returned, looking relaxed and not angry at all.
She stopped what she was doing, feeling that something was wrong with Shen Xuewei.
"Weiwei, wait, are you planning something big?"
She knew that Shen Xuewei was protective of her own, especially since she was an artist under Shen Xuewei's management.
From any perspective, Shen Xuewei could not possibly be someone who is indifferent and has no reaction whatsoever.
Xu Yue's first reaction was not that Shen Xuewei didn't value her, but rather... that Shen Xuewei was up to no good.
Shen Xuewei looked up at her and lightly tapped her phone with her fingertips.
"Why are you in such a hurry? They've come to bully us right at our doorstep. Of course I have to teach them a lesson, or they'll really think we're pushovers."
Xu Yue leaned closer and asked curiously, "What did you do? Tell me quickly."
Shen Xuewei slowly closed her eyes. "Ten minutes."
Just as Xu Yue was about to ask her what this meant, there was a knock at the door, and Shen Xuewei lightly kicked her.
Go open the door.
"Oh, I'll go, I'll go."
Xu Yue walked towards the door, opened it, and found Fang Shiyue standing there.
"Shi Yue, you're here?"
Xu Yue stepped aside to let him in, and only closed the door after Fang Shiyue entered.
Back in the suite's living room, Fang Shiyue placed the things he had been carrying in his hands in front of Shen Xuewei.
"I noticed you didn't have much of an appetite today; you didn't eat much during the day. I just borrowed the hotel kitchen and made some pork rib congee, it's light, you can try it..."
Fang Shiyue's cooking skills are not as good as Sister Zou's, but they are still much better than the lunch boxes from the film crew.
Filming for "The Longevity Picture" has been going on for quite some time, and we've already moved between two locations. This is the last location.
Since arriving here, Shen Xuewei has been experiencing some discomfort due to the change in environment, and her appetite has been poor for some time now.
After finishing work, Fang Shiyue would find a kitchen to cook something for Shen Xuewei.
He served a bowl to Shen Xuewei, and when he saw Xu Yue coming over, he served her a bowl as well.
"Xu Yue, you should eat something too."
Xu Yue thanked him and sat down opposite Shen Xuewei to quietly drink her porridge.
To be honest, Fang Shiyue's skills are much better than theirs.
After finishing her porridge, seeing that Fang Shiyue was staying, Xu Yue didn't want to be a third wheel, so she glanced at Shen Xuewei one last time.
Seeing that Shen Xuewei still didn't seem to intend to say anything to her, she could only walk towards the door in disappointment.
Shen Xuewei glanced at her retreating figure and suddenly said:
"Check the trending topics."
