Chapter 138 What is a national hit? (Tactical retreat)



As Wei Yang was busy, the broadcast of "My Love from the Star" gradually came to an end.

The ratings may be somewhat saturated in the later period, and the increase was significantly lower than that in the previous mid-term, but the final average ratings still easily exceeded 5.

At present, the audience share of the two TV stations in Jiangsu Province and Hunan Province has approached 29%. Even if this result cannot be compared with those ancient masterpieces, it is definitely a phenomenal work that has become a super hit.

The number of views on LeTV has exceeded 1 billion, far surpassing all other online broadcasts in recent years.

Thanks to the popularity of this drama, LeTV's related data traffic in December surpassed Youku and Tudou for the first time, becoming the leader among video websites.

In just half a month, the number of fans on Weibo of Wei Yang and Fan Xiaopang has skyrocketed from 500,000 to 600,000 to over 4.5 million. It is only a matter of time before they break through the 5 million mark.

Yao Dazui, who ranks third, has just over 2 million fans, and most of his fans came after Wei Yang and Fan Xiaopang became popular on Weibo.

According to calculations by relevant media, "My Love from the Star" conservatively estimates that the number of Weibo users has increased by nearly 7 to 8 times, and has also gone viral on a large scale many times.

Also popular because of “My Love from the Star” are fried chicken, Fetion, Tomson Yipin, and many fashion brands.

According to official Taobao statistics, Taobao's visit clicks in December increased by 234% compared to the previous month, and the search volume for the same items as "My Love from the Star" was 150 times that of all other stars combined.

There are now nearly 60,000 sets of the same products of Fan Xiaopang/Fan Qianqian on Taobao Mall.

This is three times the 20,000 sets reported previously, and the difference in time was less than ten days…

Sohu.com recently held a poll to select which celebrity you would most like to see appear on this year's Spring Festival Gala. Wei Yang and Fan Xiaopang were ranked first and second with an absolute advantage, beating Zhao Benshan, Zhou Jielun, and Xiao Shenyang.

Even when there were rumors that Wei Yang appeared at the Spring Festival Gala rehearsal, it immediately made headlines on major websites.

However, Wei Yang soon refuted the rumor himself, saying that the matter was completely false.

In fact, Wei Yang heard the letter saying that CCTV Spring Festival Gala wanted to invite him, but due to various reasons, he finally chose to give up.

After all, it is almost late December and there is limited time left until the Spring Festival. The schedule for studying the program, reviewing, and rehearsing is really tight, so the Spring Festival Gala program crew has no choice but to give up.

Wei Yang didn't care. For example, he was too busy to go now. Even if he wasn't busy, he might not go.

Both Shanghai and Hunan Province invited him to the Spring Festival Gala, but Wei Yang turned them down. He spent last year's Spring Festival alone, so he can't let his family down again this year.

There is no end to making money, and there is plenty of exposure. Wei Yang is very tired this year, and he is just looking forward to relaxing during the Spring Festival when he reunites with his family. No one can stop him from going home for the New Year.

But regardless of whether Wei Yang will appear on the Spring Festival Gala or not, judging from the outside world's reaction to this matter, we can also infer Wei Yang's current popularity and the influence of the TV series.

As the finale of "My Love from the Star" approaches, the discussion about this drama becomes more and more heated.

There were even a lot of "rumors"...

An insider revealed that the drama ended tragically, with the male protagonist, Professor Gu, leaving the earth and the female protagonist, Fan Qianqian, dying alone.

The whistleblower even took out a photo that looked like a candid photo, and on it was a scene of Professor Gu and Fan Qianqian crying and saying goodbye, and then leaving the earth.

In order to verify the authenticity of the script, the whistleblower also took out several previously aired plots, which were exactly the same and definitely the original script of "My Love from the Star".

As soon as this news came out, it was quickly picked up by major media outlets, and then caused an uproar.

It's no wonder that everyone believes it, because the plot keeps mentioning that the male protagonist cannot stay on Earth, and if he stays he will die, so the male and female protagonists are now dating with the mentality of taking it one day at a time.

This kind of plot development is bound to make the audience suspicious, and more importantly, Wei Yang has a criminal record.

Although the drama "Twinkle Twinkle Star" has an open ending, it is essentially a tragedy.

How many people were tortured to the point of crying breathlessly, and now seeing Professor Gu has to leave the earth, it is quite similar to Zhang Wansen and Lin Beixing being trapped in the vortex of time and space and unable to get the love they want.

After everyone analyzed it this way, everyone panicked and rushed to Wei Yang's Weibo to ask.

But Wei Yang was strangely silent! Then everyone panicked even more, until someone dug up the news that a large number of journalists were invited to guest star in the final scene of "My Love from the Star", and speculated that it might be a happy ending.

But at that time, since most of the plot was shot on a green screen, the reporters on the scene only saw the male and female protagonists appear and kiss, and they didn’t know the rest of the plot, so this matter was not certain.

It just so happened that Fan Xiaopang was blocked by reporters and gave an ambiguous response.

"That's not the last scene in the play. You can watch the finale for yourself for the details. Wei Yang won't let me spoil the plot."

Fan Xiaopang's words overturned the outside world's speculation and made the ending even more confusing. More and more people went to leave messages on Wei Yang's Weibo.

[Professor Gu and Fan Qianqian must be together]

[If they don’t grow old together, I’ll come here and scold you every day]

[If you dare to write a tragedy, I curse you to eat instant noodles without seasoning packets]

Please, don't let this be a tragedy.

[If you dare to make them apart, I call on all my friends to never watch your drama again]

【……】

The momentum was so great that many celebrities came to join in the fun and take advantage of the popularity. For example, Gao Yuanyuan, who had posted on Weibo many times to follow the drama, publicly asked for Wei Yang's phone number online, saying that she wanted to communicate with him and ask him not to commit crimes in defiance of the law.

[Which one to choose is up to you]

Yuan Hong even @胡哥, expressing his dissatisfaction with the outcome, so the two of them blocked Wei Yang's door and put a sack on him, and the latter happily followed his orders.

Li Jiahang was the most ruthless. He went straight to the Blue Whale Company, took a work photo of Wei Yang who was trying on clothes and preparing to take photos, and then posted it on Weibo.

[People are in place, take action if something goes wrong]

As Wei Yang's best brother, Li Jiahang has officially signed with Blue Whale and become an artist of the company.

Moreover, unlike other artists, it is obvious at first glance that he has a different relationship with Wei Yang. He has posted daily photos of the two on Weibo many times, and anyone who sees them knows that they are good friends.

After the hit of "My Love from the Star", Wei Yang's new fans frantically collected information and materials about Wei Yang, and Li Jiahang, who often showed off his good brother, was naturally also exposed.

Although he is not very famous, he has over 200,000 followers on Weibo.

Of course, almost all of them are fans of Wei Yang. In the comment section, people usually ask about Wei Yang's situation or request photos. Li Jiahang is not jealous and happily interacts with Wei Yang's fans.

In the hearts of many of Wei Yang’s fans, “Brother Hang” still has some weight.

He is not only Wei Yang's best friend, classmate and brother, but also the only man who has lived with Wei Yang.

CPs like Geng Geng Xing He, Zi Xuan Chong Lou, Yang Shi, Yang Bing, etc., are all latecomers. Li Jia Hang is Wei Yang’s “first wife”…

This Weibo post by Li Jiahang immediately attracted cheers and support from the onlookers and fans, making him seem like a messenger of justice carrying the hopes of the people.

Little did he know that on the other end of the phone, Wei Yang, who had just finished taking pictures and was taking a break, was sitting with his legs crossed and playing with his phone, while Li Jiahang was fawningly serving him tea and water.

"Boss, is the water temperature right? Do you want some sugar?"

"Get lost."

Wei Yang cursed with a smile and kicked Li Jiahang: "Next time you dare to show off to me, I will deduct two months' bonus."

"Capitalist, right? I called my godmother to complain."

"When did my mother accept you as her godson? Don't try to be a relative."

After becoming a boss and making some achievements, Wei Yang's status and prestige are constantly rising. Even Lao Xia in the company is a little afraid of him now. He is also very famous in the circle. Sometimes Wei Yang can't help feeling a little lonely at the top.

Although he could make some new friends outside, given his current fame and status, many people's intentions were not pure, so Wei Yang was somewhat wary.

The only people I can be relatively close to and trust are the people I met in the early days before he became famous.

Among them, Li Jiahang and Wei Yang knew each other the earliest and have the best relationship. Li Jiahang is also Wei Yang's most trusted friend. People cannot be without friends. Wei Yang likes to joke with Li Jiahang and make fun of each other, which makes him feel very relaxed.

It was rare that Li Jiahang maintained his original mentality and did not fawn or alienate because of the change in status of both parties. He was the same now as he was before, which made Wei Yang trust him more.

As the two were chatting, Wei Yang's cell phone rang. It was his mother, Ms. Wang Yunping, who called to inquire about the outcome and gave him a vicious warning.

"I'm telling you, don't do anything stupid. The whole street is following your drama. If you really don't want Professor Gu and the other two to be together, don't come back for the New Year. I'm afraid someone will smash our windows in the middle of the night."

Wei Yang: “…”

Turning his head to look at Li Jiahang, he was confused: "Is the reaction outside so intense now?"

Li Jiahang glanced at the computer not far away and nodded: "There have been over 5,000 comments in my Weibo comment section. If 90% of the people support you writing a tragic ending, let me beat you up."

Wei Yang: “…”

If you all do this, what will happen to "Eastern Palace"? Will it go abroad for a few days? Just when Wei Yang was struggling, the time for the finale to be broadcast was getting closer and closer, and many people online and offline were trying to take advantage of the popularity in various ways.

Someone posted an advertising poster of Baidu Group’s cafeteria, saying that if Fan Qianqian and Professor Gu were not together, everyone could get a fried chicken meal in the cafeteria the next day as a consolation.

I can only say that Baidu is worthy of its name. It is well aware of the essence of freeloading, and many Internet companies have followed suit.

In comparison, LeTV, as the exclusive online broadcasting platform, is much more practical and directly holds welfare activities offline in Beijing.

As long as you take a photo of yourself watching the finale on LeTV's website and post it on Weibo, you can use the Weibo to get fried chicken at a designated restaurant.

Penguin also joined in the fun, updating the QQ chat page and personal space.

If you enter a few keywords such as fried chicken, beer, or the names of characters from "My Love from the Star" in the message box or when posting a message/comment, snowflakes will slowly fall from the chat page.

A well-known entrepreneur joined Weibo and his first post generated a lot of attention, saying that aliens will stay on Earth. His followers increased by 50,000 in one hour.

Even a certain bank was naughty and put up an advertisement saying "If Professor Gu leaves you, let the bank protect you", taking the opportunity to sell financial products.

“…”
