I don't understand? Ru Guan TV paid me to write press releases, and you're saying I don't understand?
Although they're gaming buddies, the sharp-tongued director and Apple Pie occasionally chat on WeChat about current affairs, offering their opinions, lamenting the injustices of fate, and indignantly criticizing the state of the world. They cooperate seamlessly in games and can also argue heatedly. But those are usually two-way debates; this is the first time Apple Pie has so smugly told him directly, "You don't understand," like today.
What are you pretending for! You think you know more than me just because you watched two episodes of a TV series!
The sarcastic drama director stopped replying to Apple Pie and angrily opened Weibo, preparing to copy the text he had posted more than an hour ago and send it to Apple Pie to broaden its horizons.
Upon entering his own homepage, the sharp-tongued drama director was stunned.
Although he has over a million followers, the scathing drama writer knows very well how much of that is fake. Even one percent of them would be considered active followers. Normally, when he posts these paid Weibo posts, besides the celebrity fans mentioned in the text who control the comments, there are only a few zombie followers who mass-post meaningless comments.
However, today, his post about "Half a Day" actually garnered hundreds of comments and shares!
The number of reposts and comments is strange. If it's celebrity fans controlling the comments, the number is too few. But if it's bots posting comments, the number is too many—bots usually post a fixed number of around one hundred comments.
The sarcastic commentator clicked in, completely bewildered, and wow! What a lively comment section!
[Is the analysis wrong? It's already been said that the real Li Yiming is innocent, so she must be a member of the Kuomintang!]
[What is this blogger talking about that's completely irrelevant? Who is Li Ruhui?]
[There's no character named Li Ruhui in the first two episodes. Can these marketing accounts at least be a little more professional when making up stories?]
[Seeking the screen recording source for Tianban! Payment is possible! I missed the second episode because of a power outage at home, and Tuiqi Video won't update until tomorrow [crying][crying]]
Who has the time to watch TV screen captures...?
I have it, privately.
[The person upstairs is a scammer! He charged me twenty yuan and gave me some kind of White-haired Xiangjun! Don't be fooled by him!]
[Li Yiming is definitely not just a thief; don't talk nonsense if you don't understand.]
Who is the actor who plays Li Yiming?
[Lu Huaizhang's name is misspelled; it should be Lu Huaizhang, not Lu Hanzhang.]
[Holy crap, you reminded me! I just realized there really is a stack of blank documents with a stamp in Lu Huaizhang's drawer...]
[Li Yiming's initial statement definitely indicates he's a member of our Party; I'm not going to eat a keyboard while doing a handstand.]
[Urgent! Does anyone have access to episode 3 of "Poison Bro"?]
[How does Poison Bro know so much? Has he watched the later episodes? Give us a spoiler, brothers!]
[Substituting a plum for a peach, a brilliant plan, a brilliant plan!]
Aside from other celebrities' fans controlling the comments, this is the first time the "poisonous-tongued drama enthusiast" has seen so many real people in his comment section.
Although there was a lot of chatter and conflicting opinions, including some who were hurling insults at him, it was still much better than fake followers flooding the comments section or fan groups controlling the narrative. Interestingly, several netizens got into a heated argument in the reposting section over whether the screenwriter was a KMT hater and whether the KMT government was really that corrupt, posting over a hundred replies and exchanging insults about each other's ancestors.
The sarcastic commentator was even somewhat moved. He had been surrounded by zombie followers and celebrity fans who only spammed the same comments for too long, and only today did he finally get a feel for running a marketing account.
It turns out that Weibo posts can be seen by real people; it turns out that discussions about the plot can attract casual viewers; it turns out that people are genuinely watching a TV series, instead of engaging in fan wars and thinking they understand the whole story after only reading a few posts from marketing accounts…
How many years has it been since this happened?
The sarcastic commentator thought his Weibo post had been pushed to the top of the search results. So he typed "Tianban" into the search bar to see what other colleagues were doing.
To his shock, the situation was similar for other marketing accounts. Under each Weibo post related to "Tianban" published by a marketing account, there was a crowd of chattering passersby, enthusiastically discussing the plot, foreshadowing, and details... On the contrary, Shishan's fans, who usually rushed to the scene at the first sign of trouble, were completely silent and nowhere to be seen today.
For a moment, the sarcastic commentator even had a strange feeling—it seemed like the entire internet was watching "Half a Sky." And in this online world, there were only viewers, no fans.
The sarcastic drama critic instinctively opened Tuiqi Video—a fixed-screen ad for "Tianban" was floating on the homepage, but clicking on it only showed about ten trailers; the full episodes wouldn't be updated until tomorrow morning. Ruguan TV has always been domineering, so the sarcastic drama critic wasn't surprised.
The sharp-tongued drama director suddenly hated his own hands. What game should he be playing?
