Bai Zhilan thought Guo Yuwei had stopped the filming, but in fact there was another cameraman who had not turned off the camera and was quietly broadcasting this scene to the live broadcast platform. Lin Dan glanced at the cameraman inconspicuously, then walked over slowly: "What are you talking about?"
Bai Zhilan quickly waved her hands and said, "Nothing!" Then she winked at Guo Yuwei.
Guo Yuwei seemed not to receive her signal and said directly: "Auntie, someone on the Internet criticized Zhilan, and we are discussing whether we should respond."
Lin Dan said calmly: "What's going on?"
"Recently, a TV series starring Zhilan, Floating Life Like a Dream, was broadcast on XX channel, and the ratings were a bit low. Some people thought that this was because Zhilan's acting skills were too poor, and criticized her on the Internet. Moreover, in the past two days, this kind of remarks have become more and more intense. I am discussing with her whether to respond." Guo Yuwei explained simply.
Xiaoguo was a straightforward person, and she spoke indignantly: "Sister Zhilan only played a supporting role with very few scenes. What does the low ratings have to do with her? Those people are so..."
Lin Dan raised her hand to interrupt Xiaoguo's complaints and suggested, "I haven't watched the TV series you starred in yet, let's watch it together?" If Guo Yuwei continued to incite them, who knows what Xiaoguo and Bai Zhilan would say to attract negative attention.
Bai Zhilan waved her hands half embarrassed and half panicked, her originally pale face now completely red. With her acting skills, how could she let her mother watch it? How is this different from a public execution?
Audiences left messages saying: [I have also been following “Floating Life Like a Dream” recently. Bai Zhu is the female lead, Liao Zijun is the male lead, and Bai Zhilan seems to be the third or fourth female lead. She doesn’t have many roles. 】
But every time she comes out, I get distracted. Don’t blame me for saying something unpleasant, her acting skills are really bad and cannot be compared with Bai Zhu at all! She has had a lot of roles in recent days and the ratings are dropping. If it’s not her fault, whose fault is it? 】
[She has been a little inflated recently, taking on a lot of roles without even considering her own acting skills! 】
A large number of internet trolls and black fans poured into the live broadcast room and started posting malicious comments. Bai Zhilan's fans wanted to control the situation, but they were powerless for a while. At this moment, Lang Tuhao's avatar lit up, and then he began to give gifts continuously, from the lowest amount to the highest amount, giving out 999 sets of each gift, and cleaned up the entire live broadcast room with a platform announcement.
All the good and bad reviews disappeared, and all that could be seen were exploding fireworks, one after another. It took at least thirty or forty minutes for the special effects to finish playing, and others had no way to leave a message.
The world was quiet. Xiao Guo looked at the amount of reward from the rich man Lang and couldn't close her mouth for a long time: "Wow, this is a real rich man! If I were Sister Zhilan, I would marry him!"
Lin Dan, who knew nothing about it, was dragging Bai Zhilan to the living room to watch TV.
"Which station?"
Bai Zhilan struggled desperately: "You can't watch it now. It's not time to broadcast yet! And the TV series is already halfway through. It has no beginning or end. You can't understand it."
“There should be a collection online, right? If I don’t understand, I’ll start from the beginning. What’s more, there’s a synopsis on the webpage.” Lin Dan exited the live broadcast, opened the online video APP, and found the collection of “Floating Life Like a Dream”.
Bai Zhilan couldn't find an excuse to refuse, and she was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan. She covered her face with one hand and dug into the sofa cushion with the other, feeling like she was about to suffocate. If she had known that one day she would sit in front of the TV with her mother to watch a TV series in which she starred, she would have studied acting well no matter what.
It was a pity that it was too late to regret now. After reading the introduction, Lin Dan asked, "Which episode do you appear in?"
Bai Zhilan didn't say anything for a long time, but the audience was excited and left messages eagerly: [Bai Ma, start watching from the sixth episode! 】
[I’m really looking forward to Bai Ma’s reaction.] How would she evaluate her daughter's acting skills? 】
[What else can I say? Of course I praise my own daughter to the sky! Since the fans can’t win the argument over the drama fans, they send their mother out to clean up the mess. This method is so low-level! Bai Zhilan's acting is so embarrassing, I want to see how she blows it! 】
The haters wanted to start blasting again, but unfortunately the fireworks were still going off on the screen and no one could post a message. Using gifts to control the situation, this rich man Lang is too generous! Someone has already tried to uncover his identity, but no news has come out yet.
"Which episode do you appear in?" Lin Dan didn't get an answer, so he asked again.
Bai Zhilan turned her head away and said in a muffled voice, "Episode 6."
Lin Dan opened the sixth episode and watched the plot attentively. Bai Zhilan plays a princess in the play. She is deeply in love with the general male protagonist, so she frequently makes trouble for the female protagonist, and can be regarded as a vicious female supporting role. She is very beautiful, and when she puts on gorgeous clothes and stands in front of the camera with a stern face, she really looks like the real thing. It’s a pity that her acting skills are so bad that once she starts speaking the lines, it instantly makes people lose interest in the show.
Lin Dan patiently watched for a while, frowned and said, "Just talk, why are you shaking your head, have you got cervical spondylosis? You are angry, not comparing your eyes with others, your eyeballs will fall out if you glare at them again. The general wants to cancel the engagement with you, shouldn't you be shocked, angry, and confused? Why do you look so stupid?"
Lin Dan couldn't bear to watch it any longer, and couldn't help but press the fast forward button, complaining expressionlessly as he did so: "When you're angry, you look stupid, when you're in pain, you look stupid, and when you're desperate, you also look stupid. Don't you have any other expressions? People's acting is divided into the experience school, the expression school, and the method school. Did you create a new school called the mentally retarded school?"
Bai Zhilan fell back on the sofa, covering her face and groaning, every cell in her body telling of embarrassment and pain, "I know my acting is terrible, can you please stop talking about it?"
Lin Dan fast-forwarded and asked, "How long can your character survive?"
Bai Zhilan gritted her teeth and said, "Don't worry! I'll be dead tomorrow night!"
"Thank God." Lin Dan sighed sincerely, and then fast-forwarded through all the plots. She threw away the remote control, let out a long breath, then pinched her eyebrows and rubbed her temples. Every pore on her body showed her disgust for her daughter's acting skills.
Bai Zhilan glared at her with red eyes, feeling extremely embarrassed.
Xiaoguo clenched his fists, trying hard to resist the urge to rush forward and cover Aunt Lin's mouth.
Guo Yuwei lowered her head and smiled inaudibly.
The moment Lin Dan turned on the TV, a large group of people rushed into the live broadcast room. They all wanted to see how Lin Dan would react after watching "A Dream of Life", and how Bai Zhilan would react as well. Who doesn’t love public executions? Audiences like to gather wherever there is excitement.
But no one expected that Lin Dan's tongue would be so vicious. She was merciless when she criticized her own daughter. Her words were more incisive than those of the drama fans, and her criticism was more straightforward than those of the haters. When she said "retarded", everyone laughed so hard that they pissed themselves, and then she said "thank God", which made people laugh even more.
Someone left a message while laughing: [You may not believe this, but I watched the previous episodes again with Bai Ma, and I actually found Bai Zhilan’s dazed look a little cute! Am I sick? 】
[You are definitely not the only one. I also watched the first few episodes with Bai Ma. I used to think the plot was crap, but now I actually enjoy it! 】
[Bai Ma’s complaints added 5 points to the plot! I gave this drama a score of 3 on Douban, now I would give it a score of 8! I just like Bai Zhilan’s soulless look! 】
[After seeing Bai Ma scolding so harshly, I felt embarrassed to scold Bai Zhilan anymore. I was so laughing that I cried! 】
[Bai Zhilan is already crying.] She kept picking at the sofa cushion, as if she wanted to make a hole in the sofa to crawl into. She was already extremely ashamed! 】
[Yes, Bai Ma has already scolded us, so let’s be merciful. Having said that, when watching the drama, I really wanted to grab Bai Zhilan by the collar and give her a good beating, and Bai's mother completely satisfied my wish, so forget it, everyone let Bai Zhilan go. 】
Although these comments cannot be sent to the screen, they remain on the web page. To everyone's surprise, Bai Zhilan's Weibo, which was about to be conquered by the Internet trolls and black fans, saw a reversal of public opinion in just over an hour. The audience acted as her tap water and left messages in the comment section, asking everyone to be more tolerant, after all, she had been scolded by her mother and cried.
If parents do not educate their children well, when they enter society in the future, someone else will naturally educate them. The same is true the other way around. When parents scold their children so harshly and broadcast the execution live on the entire internet, the audience will feel embarrassed to criticize them further.
During this period, the number of clicks on "Floating Life Like a Dream" soared by hundreds of millions, and its Douban score soared from 32 to 51, which actually passed.
Xiaoguo looked stupidly at Bai Zhilan's Weibo post which turned from black to red, his face full of disbelief. But the story is not over yet. Lin Dan picked up his phone and played the video of Bai Zhilan singing on stage for the first time. He said slowly: "See? This is the stage that truly belongs to you. When you picked up the microphone, your whole body was glowing. You are not the third or fourth female lead. You are you. You are the focus of everyone's attention."
Just at this moment, Bai Zhilan on the screen raised her head and sang a shocking high note, which made the entire studio boil. Everyone cheered for her, screamed for her, and some even covered their faces and shed tears. When she started singing, all the stars naturally gathered on her.
Bai Zhilan stared at the TV blankly and didn't speak for a long time. Due to depression and Bai Zhu's constant pressure, she hasn't released an album for a long time. She knew she was not good at acting, but in order to compete with Bai Zhu, she ignored her fans' opposition, stopped writing songs, and took on commercials and TV dramas.
The more she struggled, the more she failed. But now, she finally understood what Bai Zhu had to do with her. What does it matter whether you win or lose? Under the guidance of her mother, she finally found the best version of herself.
She stared at the familiar yet unfamiliar person on the stage and said in a hoarse voice, "I understand! I won't take acting jobs anymore. I want to write songs and release records. It doesn't matter if I can't make money. I like music and I'm going to stick with it."
Lin Dan rubbed her head, with a gleam of relief in his eyes.
The audience was silent for a long time before they sighed: [I'm suddenly so moved! For Bai Zhilan, reuniting with her mother is like a baptism of the soul. 】
[Is Lanlan finally going to return to music?] As her loyal fan, I am really happy! Bai Ma is the mother who knows her daughter best in the world, no doubt about it. She knows what Lan Lan really likes. 】
[You’re right, Bai Zhilan on the stage is the real superstar! Baizhu and Ou Ya are no match for her! 】
At this moment, the shock and emotion that Bai Zhilan once brought to everyone's memory came back to mind. Many people watched the video of her performance and were captured by her singing. Her number of Weibo followers has once again skyrocketed at a speed comparable to that of a rocket.
Xiaoguo was so happy that he almost went crazy, but Guo Yuwei stared at the phone with a ferocious expression, and she couldn't even breathe properly. She just didn't understand why Lin Dan was able to help Bai Zhilan every time. Was it an accident or was it planned? If this was planned, how terrible must this person be? Also, who is that Lang? She always felt uneasy until she found out his identity.
