This top guy only treats celebrities as his job

Chapter 266: Simultaneous broadcast, unexpected ratings
Wednesday, January 2025, 1.

Today is the New Year's Day holiday, and the New Year's Eve last night was still lively.

Because the Spring Festival has become less and less interesting in recent years, especially last year when people had to go to work on New Year's Eve in 2024, many people are even less interesting about the Spring Festival.

In addition, last year's Spring Festival movie market was quite chaotic. What everyone discussed was not the movie itself, but everything outside the movie, and the so-called "censorship" issue was discussed in a fierce way.

In addition, for many people, the Spring Festival is becoming less and less interesting.

Even now, going home to celebrate the Spring Festival has almost become a burden. People no longer simply celebrate the New Year, because they need to 'check in' to visit relatives, and they also have to face various red envelopes, entertainment, etc.

To be honest, especially for young people, celebrating the Spring Festival every year has indeed become a burden. Everyone really wants to spend time with their parents when they go home.

Of course, even parents are often happy for three days. After three days, they stop talking about their parents, and even the family dog ​​starts to dislike it.

That's the case with Faye Wong.

For Faye Wong, she really hates going home for the Spring Festival. She is bound to have a quarrel with her family every time she goes home.

"Of course I'm going to watch "Strike". I'm a fan of the original work, so I must watch this show."

If "For Whom the Bell Tolls" doesn't start airing smoothly this time, a bunch of people will be torn up in an instant.

People like Da Mao and Zeng Li are all experienced surfers, and they also carried out various promotions in the group during this period.

Everyone wants to prove themselves.

In addition, "The Power of Man" and "Darkness Before Dawn" are basically the same. Both TV stations aired 2 episodes and the video website updated 5 episodes.

What's more, except for death, everything in life is trivial.

First, she was urged to get married by her family.

Of course, Faye Wong is also promoting "For Whom the Bell Tolls". She does it for no other reason than that she doesn't want the bad money in the entertainment industry to drive out the good money.

Shouldn't we support artists like Lin Xing who are handsome, have acting skills, don't cut off their family members, and often quietly do charity work, and most importantly, don't have a fandom?

You must know that the atmosphere in major cities during the New Year's Eve is quite lively now. Not to mention big cities such as the Imperial Capital and the Magic City, the atmosphere in even third- and fourth-tier cities is also extremely high.

But life still has a sense of ritual.

Of course, Faye Wong still has some friends. After all, no matter how stupid Chu Chen's fans are, there are still some sane ones. After Faye Wong withdrew from the Chu Chen fan group, she still kept in touch with Faye Wong.

Of course you can be Buddhist when you should be Buddhist, but if you are Buddhist at this time, then you really can't be said to be a fan of Lin Xing. How good is it to just be a passerby? ?

"+1 for "The Machiavellian". To be honest, I'm really not interested in so-called spy dramas."

This is also the reason why Lin Xing’s fans are no longer Buddhist.

Anyway, for Faye Wong, there is really no joy in celebrating the Spring Festival. The atmosphere of sitting in front of the TV and watching the Spring Festival as a child is no longer the same.

What's more, Faye Wong, like many people, wants to see what Lin Xing's acting skills are like in "For Whom the Bell Tolls"? ?
Therefore, while Faye Wong is helping Lin Xing promote it, she is also waiting for the broadcast to start tonight.

So even though Faye Wong wasn't being pretentious, she still celebrated New Year's Eve with many people last night.

In short, Lin Xing's support club has suddenly become ablaze during this period.

She basically stayed at home for three or four days, and then returned to the imperial capital early.

Faye Wong is not usually a hypocritical person. As she wrote in the drama review when watching "The Hidden Lurker", her life is already very good now.

Because people of Faye Wong's age in small counties have already gotten married and had children, so every time Faye Wong goes home during the Chinese New Year, there aren't many people gathering.

Because still alive and healthy is better than anything else.

This time, Faye Wong also knows what kind of dilemma Lin Xing is facing, because the fan base of Chu Chen's fan club has almost gone crazy in the past month.

At 10 o'clock, "For Whom the Bell Tolls" will be broadcast exclusively on Penguin Video. As usual, 5 episodes will be updated on the first day, and VIPs can watch the entire episode.

Today, as the first day of the new year, Faye Wong stayed at home for the whole day. Since she had rebelled long ago, she is now considered a fan of Lin Xing.

"I quite like spy dramas, and I'm planning to watch "For Whom the Bell Tolls". If it's good, I'll watch it. If it's not good, I'll watch "The Dark Before Dawn."

Secondly, when being introduced by relatives, many relatives use her as a favor to introduce someone to others.

In the forum, the discussion about the three new year dramas has intensified.

"+1, actually, I mainly want to see how Lin Xing's performance is? Because in this drama, he seems to need to pretend to be old. I want to see how he pretends to be old?"

Even Chu Chen’s fans even shouted that anyone can lose, but he absolutely cannot lose to Lin Xing.

Because only the New Year's Eve night makes Faye Wong feel that it is her own celebration.

Just like what the presidents of Da Mao and Zeng Li's fan clubs said.

On the contrary, Faye Wong feels that what she is really happy about now is New Year's Eve.

"Coming, coming, which one are you going to watch tonight?"

"For Whom the Bell Tolls" is exclusively broadcast on Shanghai TV at 7:48, with a total of two episodes.

Because the audience of general TV stations is different from the audience of video websites, there is no conflict.

Eleven years later, Lin Xing waited for his opportunity, and many people in the industry were thinking about explosion protection.

Yesterday, Faye Wong joined everyone in the open square and shouted countdown to New Year's Eve.

……

Anyway, no matter how much hard work, how many difficulties there are in 2024, how many joys and sorrows everyone has experienced, but at this moment, when the bell of 2025 rings, everything changes.

Of course, some of these discussions are promoted by trolls, and some are promoted by fans.

Faye Wong also said in the forum: "Watch "For Whom the Bell Tolls" tonight."

Obviously, Huahai has done a really good job in publicity. In addition, Liang Yi and An Yifeng have very strong fans, so basically there is still a lot of publicity for this drama on the forum.

And with the launch of "For Whom the Bell Tolls", forum discussions about this drama seem to be unstoppable.

"Oh my god, this character Wu Jingyi is so ruthless. She must be a villain."

"Nima, which actor is Wu Jingyi? She has the beauty of a mature woman."

"Isn't it possible that Wu Jingyi is also an underground party? But she looks like a murderous demon."

……

"Lin Xing is really right. Wu Jingyi and Chen Xuewen look very sweet, but what the hell is behind them??"

"Chen Xuewen even said that Wu Jingyi is the executioner, what the hell is there to say??"

"I knew Lin Xing couldn't be trusted. Lin Xing is a big liar."

……

"I'll go, I feel like Chen Xueli was completely tricked by Liu Haotian. It's so miserable."

"Yes, this Liu Haotian gives people the impression that he is quite a PUA."

"I don't know why it feels a little weird to see Liang Yi acting young."

"Indeed, it is a bit inappropriate for Liang Yi to be a college student when he is already in his thirties."

……

"Let me go, An Yifeng is really handsome."

"The appearance of An Yifeng gives people a feeling of beauty, strength and tragedy, and it seems that An Yifeng has a story."

"Good guy, Lin Diewu played by An Yifeng is so beautiful. I want to meet the actress."

……

Everyone on the forum is following the drama in real time.

Currently, "For Whom the Bell Tolls" is more discussed, because the pace of the first two episodes is quite fast, and the characters' appearances are also stand-up. After these two episodes were played, everyone was already eager to watch the next three episodes.

On the other hand, there was not much discussion about the first two episodes of "Darkness Before Dawn".

What should I say? ?
The characters in these two episodes all had good acting skills, but the plot didn't make any progress. The first two episodes talked about a mutiny, and the repeated meetings were kept on hold.

"The pace is a bit slow. I only kept watching the actors throughout the whole process."

"Yes, the pace is indeed a bit slow, but after all, it has only been aired for two episodes, so I think I can continue watching."

"That's true. As long as the pace isn't too slow, it'll be fine."

……

"Darkness Before Dawn" is currently not highly discussed, with only a few dozen people feeling that the pace is slow.

Comparatively speaking, the one with the highest degree of discussion is "The Power of Man".

"Damn, the beginning is so exciting, and now it's the emperor's assassination."

"Yes, it's so beautiful. Niu Xiang's acting skills are really good. He brought the role of the prince to life."

"The prince's character is really free and uninhibited, honest, gentle, and friendly. This is the prince I like."

"Oh my God, I'll ask Niu Xiang to die in ancient costume. He's so handsome. This is such a great performance."

"It is said that there are a lot of ugly men in costume dramas nowadays. It is really better to look at Niu Xiang. What is top-notch? What is handsome? What is acting??"

"I beg you all to watch "The King of Power", and please go and see Niu Xiang's acting skills. He is facing a lot of veteran actors but he is not at a disadvantage in the slightest."

……

Currently, on forums and on Weibo, there are basically many discussions about "The Powerful Man", and more than 80% of those discussing "The Powerful Man" are praising Niu Xiang's acting skills.

Just look at it and you'll know what's going on.

"It's really shameless."

Faye Wong took one look at this Niu Xiang fan's words of praise for "The Powerful Man", and she felt blushing.

Let's face it, this statement would still have some credibility if it were praised by Lin Xing. After all, Lin Xing was not at a disadvantage in the opposite role with many actors in "The Big Brother".

But praise Niu Xiang, not to mention that the cast of "Strike" is quite strong. Although Faye Wong has not watched this drama, she understands Niu Xiang.

You must know that fans of Chu Chen and Niu Xiang were at loggerheads back then. Niu Xiang's acting skills were not even as good as Chu Chen's, so why should he be able to catch up to his acting skills? ?
As I said before, some drama actors know how to take their own drama, and they will not overwhelm their opponents for the sake of the whole drama.

But some drama actors are not like this, because drama actors also need a chance, so as long as they are given a scene, they can dominate the scene.

For this reason, Faye Wong is really not optimistic about Niu Xiang's performance in "The Power of Man".

But since she has not watched it, she has no right to speak, so she did not participate in the discussion.

Now Faye Wong wants to watch the next three episodes of "For Whom the Bell Tolls" even more.

Not only did she want to see it, many people on the forum were also discussing it.

"Who the hell said that An Yifeng is the second female lead? Isn't this the first female lead???"

"Let me go, Lin Diewu played by An Yifeng is really miserable, but she is really heroic."

"Damn, this instructor is so perverted. He really seems to be trying to trick Lin Diewu."

"I declare that my goddess in 2025 will be Lin Diewu. She is so beautiful but so heart-wrenching."

……

"No, aren't Chen Xueli and Lin Diewu an official couple? These two seem to be very romantic."

"I think so too, and An Yifeng's acting is really good."

……

"One more thing, I think Chen Xuewen, played by Lin Xing, is really completely different from his previous roles. If Xiao Bo makes me feel a little confused, Chen Xuewen gives me the feeling that everything is always under control. .”

"Handsome, handsome, so handsome. The scene where Chen Xuewen kills someone with a lens is so cool."

"Damn, the way Chen Xuewu appeared was so domineering. He slapped his brother in front of so many people??"

……

"Good guy, Chen Xuewen is the master of PUA, right? Who can stand this after reprimanding Wu Jingyi and then praising her??"

"Fat Jin was stunned. His eyes seemed to be telling me if I should leave??"

"For Whom the Bell Tolls, I think this spy movie is really good."

……

"It's finished. It looks like I won't be able to get up tomorrow."

When Faye Wong finished watching the fifth episode of "For Whom the Bell Tolls", she realized that the time was almost 1 o'clock.

After all, I have to go to work tomorrow.

But she thinks "For Whom the Bell Tolls" is very good, and she must help promote this show.

Therefore, Faye Wong wrote a few more drama reviews and didn't go to bed until after 3 o'clock.

This night, it was not Faye Wong who went to bed so late.

Among them, among the Lin Xing fan club, Buddhist veterans such as Da Mao and Zeng Li have also begun to write drama reviews. They are helping to promote "For Whom the Bell Tolls".

At the same time, "Strike" is currently on the hot searches. Although Niu Xiang only appeared for less than 5 minutes in the first five episodes, Niu Xiang accounted for five of the entire hot searches.

Even the publicity is promoting Niu Xiang.

Niu Xiang's acting skills are legendary.

Niu Xiang's acting is so disfiguring.

Niu Xiang, please weld the ancient costume to your body.

……

The next day, Niu Xiang was still on the hot search list.

It's as if Niu Xiang is the leading male lead in "The Powerful Man", and this has been the promotion of "The Powerful Man" all along.

Many passers-by were also a little confused.

Isn't the "The Powerful Man" that I watched and the "The Powerful Man" that you watch are the same thing?
There are also some passers-by who have not watched the TV series. They are just grateful that they have not watched this TV series.

On the other hand, the hot searches for "For Whom the Bell Tolls" mainly focus on An Yifeng and Lin Xing.

The current evaluation of these three dramas in the industry is also good, but who is really stronger and who is weaker still depends on the data.

At 12 noon, Data Network updated the ratings.

The first place is CCTV's "Darkness Before Dawn".

After all, CCTV’s basic base is still large.

At the same time, "Strike" ranked third.

Niu Xiang’s fans: “Is there something wrong with the data network??”
