Chapter 39 The Most Beautiful Mistress
The crew's preparations are progressing smoothly.
The location, outdoor scenes, costumes, props, logistics, and so on are all being finalized one by one.
The appeal of the goddess Dong Xuan is quite good. In just a few days, the GG sponsorship has already shown initial results, with 5 brands already secured for sponsorship, amounting to 40 yuan.
High-profile product placements in clothing, mobile phones, watches, and beverages are still under negotiation, and the final sponsorship fee may exceed expectations.
This is the advantage of having idol stars join the cast; otherwise, if it were all ordinary people like Lin Zixuan, do you think any businesses would pay attention?
The production team has tentatively set the start date for filming as August 10th, with a shooting period of 45 days.
The eldest sister, Xu Qing, has finally finished promoting the TV series "Closer to You, Warmer to Me" and is going home to rest, but she's not in a very good mood.
On June 26, "Closer to You, Warmer to Me" was broadcast simultaneously on Beijing TV and Hunan TV.
With her and the strong cast including Mei Ting, Ke Lan, Gao Shuguang, and Lin Yilun, the show achieved a rating of over 1 on both television stations on its first day of broadcast.
As the plot progressed, the ratings soared. A week later, the ratings on Beijing TV exceeded 1.4%, and on Hunan TV they exceeded 1.5%.
This drama tells the story of the life experiences and abnormal emotions of three women with different personalities and identities. It analyzes a series of emotional issues that exist in people's society today and discusses in depth various social phenomena that occur around us.
The story includes socially sensitive topics such as "the fourth party," "emotional infidelity," "sexual harassment," "sexless marriage," and "gender alienation."
This is the first TV series in China to discuss these sensitive issues, and not only has its ratings soared, but online discussions have also been very heated.
Discussions about the show and its characters are particularly heated on Tianya Forum and Baidu Tieba.
However, the online discussion was not very positive, with the vast majority of comments being critical.
Xu Qing plays Ding Aiyu, an employee of a planning company. She is like a love warrior who fights against all odds, but she never gives up. However, her love life seems to be her destiny, and she can never escape the position of being the third party. No man can abandon his wife and children for her, and she can only be abandoned by others.
Netizens mainly criticized two aspects: first, the show's values were wrong, as it brazenly brought sensitive social topics such as "the fourth party," "emotional infidelity," "sexual harassment," "sexless marriage," and "gender alienation" into the TV series.
Another criticism was that the plot was illogical. People said that Xu Qing was such a beautiful and talented woman, how could she always be a mistress? And even if she was a mistress and interfered in other people's relationships, what man (especially an unmarried one) would choose someone else instead of her? Isn't that ridiculous?
Her repeated experiences of being a mistress in the drama have led netizens to jokingly call her the "most beautiful mistress."
But things are strange like this: the more people criticize it, the higher the TV series' ratings become.
If the title of "most beautiful mistress" were placed 10 years from now, it would probably be a title that many female celebrities would covet, and many young actresses would even spend money to publish press releases to promote themselves.
But it was 2006, and social attitudes weren't as open then. This term was mostly derogatory.
In addition, Xu Qing is a princess of the Beijing circle, and she has no shortage of resources, so she doesn't need this kind of negative publicity.
After learning that she had been inexplicably dubbed the "most beautiful mistress," she was extremely unhappy and immediately asked her friends to help suppress the controversy by contacting Tianya and Baidu.
The connections of the "princess of the Beijing circle" are naturally extraordinary. Tianya and Baidu quickly removed several popular posts and issued warnings or blocked some IDs that posted frequently.
But that's all they're willing to do; anything more would affect their KPIs.
As for the effect, it's not that there was none; at least it suppressed the attempts by some rival actresses to secretly hire online trolls to muddy the waters and smear her.
The problem is that the popularity of "the most beautiful mistress" was created by netizens themselves. With the TV series being so popular, there are naturally many netizens who continue to discuss and praise her as "the most beautiful mistress" every day.
When Xu Qing returned to Beijing, Lin Zixuan naturally left work early and rushed from the film set to her older sister's house to comfort her.
Faced with his older sister's worried face, he didn't have many good ideas, so he simply hugged her and had a good, intense battle.
The spring breeze blows, and the war drums thunder.
After three incredibly intense battles, the older sister's mood finally cleared up, like a drainpipe that had been unclogged.
She was completely exhausted and slumped limply against Lin Zixuan. "Ah Xuan, it's so good to have you here."
Lin Zixuan looked at the panel in his sea of consciousness:
Name: Lin Zixuan Age: 21 (123)
人气:10872
Cultivation level: 23/100 (Qi Refining)
Target 1, Popularity: 10376753
o
He was pleasantly surprised to find that after half a month, the older sister's popularity had rebounded to over 1037 million, an increase of more than 400 million.
It seems that popular shows and heated discussions among the public are indeed the best ways to boost popularity.
With this discovery, he was in a great mood. He reached out and gently stroked his older sister's long, flowing hair. "Sister Qing, take it easy. As an actor, a role is a role, and reality is reality. Don't confuse the two."
The older sister looked up and kissed him. "Of course I know that, but that nickname is so awful, it really makes me angry."
"Sister Qing, although it sounds harsh, you have to think about it the other way around. So many people are talking about you, doesn't that mean you played the role well?"
"That's what I said, but I still don't like it. It sounds awful. What makes me even angrier is that Beijing TV and Hunan TV aren't helping at all. If they were willing to step in, the problem would have been solved long ago."
Lin Zixuan was both amused and exasperated. "Sister Qing, you really have wild ideas! Do you know what TV stations care about most?"
"I know, they're just worried about the ratings, aren't they?"
"Yes, right now, viewership ratings are the lifeblood of a TV station. They affect the careers of the station's leaders and everyone's bonuses."
"It's not uncommon for a drama to become a huge hit, and they're already being considerate by not directly pushing it along. How could they possibly step in to suppress online discussions at this point? Do they think the TV station is their private property?"
"So they can disregard the harm done to us actors?"
"There's no way around it, this is the price of being a celebrity. A celebrity can earn more money in one movie than an ordinary person could earn in a lifetime, so it's inevitable that they'll comment on it."
"I understand all of this, but I still feel uncomfortable."
"Sister Qing, I've been following the online discussions too. Actually, I don't think all netizens are necessarily malicious. I think many netizens are just praising your beauty in this way."
The older sister gently pinched him, "You little rascal, all you know how to do is sweet talk to me."
Lin Zixuan stroked her large, precious object. "Don't you like it?"
The older sister rolled over and straddled him, giving him a passionate kiss. Her eyes sparkled. "I like it, but I like your bravery even more."
Lin Zixuan whispered in her ear, "Then could you...?"
The older sister gave him a charmingly disdainful look and slipped into bed.
Soon, the cheerful and sweet singing resumed.
