Chapter 60: State Media Gets Involved, They've Won Too Much
The warm morning sunlight streamed through the window and shone onto the messy bed.
Xu Qing lay on the bed with no sleeping posture, the thin quilt barely covering half of her body, her beautiful, snow-white legs exposed.
Perhaps the sunlight on her face wasn't very comfortable, because when she turned around she found nothing, frowned, and then slowly opened her eyes.
The bedroom was a mess, a testament to how intense the battle had been the previous night.
Xu Qing rubbed her eyes and then sat up.
The blanket slipped down, revealing a large expanse of her skin, but unfortunately, there was no one else in the room except for her.
Such stunning scenery goes unappreciated.
She looked around but didn't see the person she was hoping for, and felt a little empty inside.
After getting out of bed, she casually picked up the clothes scattered on the floor and put them together.
I went into the dressing room and found a new silk nightgown to put on.
Xu Qing pushed open the bedroom door and came out.
"Good morning, Sister Qing."
In the open kitchen, Lin Zixuan is cooking noodles.
Seeing Xu Qing come out of the bedroom, he greeted her with a smile. Sunlight streamed through the side window, illuminating Lin Zixuan's handsome face and making his smile appear especially warm.
Xu Qing strode forward and hugged Lin Zixuan tightly from behind. "Ah Xuan, why didn't you sleep a little longer? I woke up and didn't see you. I thought you were gone!"
Lin Zixuan turned around and kissed her. "Sweetie, breakfast will be ready soon. Go wash up first, and you can eat when you come back."
Xu Qing hugged him quietly for a while, and said gently, "Ah Xuan, it's so good to have you here."
After saying that, she obediently went into the bathroom and began to wash up.
In no time, Xu Qing emerged from the bathroom, looking radiant.
She walked to the dining table and saw two bowls of tomato noodles on it, with a golden-brown fried egg on top of each noodle, which looked very appetizing.
"These are all the things I found in the fridge, so I just cooked a simple bowl of noodles. Try it and see if it suits your taste."
Lin Zixuan pressed Xu Qing into a chair, then sat down opposite her and began to eat breakfast.
"Ah Xuan, I didn't know you could cook?"
"I live alone, so it's normal for me to make breakfast."
Xu Qing picked up a few noodles and slurped them into her mouth. "Not bad, very delicious."
Lin Zixuan picked up her chopsticks and, while eating noodles, casually asked, "Sister Qing, how long can you rest this time?"
"I can take a week off. On the 1st of next month, 'Men's Bottom Line' will be broadcast simultaneously on four TV stations: Liaoning TV, Jiangxi TV, Chongqing TV, and Anhui TV. I will be going to these four TV stations next week to record programs and promote the show."
Lin Zixuan couldn't help but feel a surge of joy, "Is 'The Bottom Line of Men' going to air soon?"
"Yes, it's been four months since filming wrapped up, but the production team didn't invite you to participate in any promotions, so don't get the wrong idea."
"It's okay, I understand. My role is so small, and besides, I wasn't famous before, so promoting it wouldn't have any effect."
"I think it would be better if you didn't participate in the film crew's promotion. You should spend more time with me this week and do more interviews with media reporters during the day to solidify your popularity."
I'll try to find you a reliable agent these next few days. Next week you can get a few more commercial performances, and if possible, do some fashion magazine shoots. That would be great for your popularity, much better than promoting "The Bottom Line for Men."
"Okay, I'll listen to Sister Qing."
For the next week, Lin Zixuan spent his days at the Beijing Film Academy residential area and his evenings at Xu Qing's ** residential area, thoroughly enjoying himself.
During the day, when I was in the Beijing Film Academy residential area, I would stroll around the entrance of the area whenever I had nothing to do, and give interviews to reporters from all walks of life.
He strictly followed Xu Qing's instructions and never made any further comments about La Ying, Yang Sangan Erlang, and others during interviews with reporters.
Instead, they proactively discussed the creative process of the song "Chinese Language," introducing innovative elements of Western rap, and their beautiful vision for Chinese culture to reach the world.
Or we could talk about the stories behind the three songs: "Autumn Never Returns," "Wait a Minute," and "Damn Tenderness."
Of course, he would always take the initiative to promote the TV series "Someday or One Day" and reveal that he was the screenwriter and male lead of "Someday or One Day".
Most reporters were surprised to learn that the TV series "Someday or One Day" was actually written by him alone.
They all muttered to themselves, "This Lin Zixuan, as a third-year student in the Acting Department of Beijing Film Academy, first showed outstanding talent in music, and now she can even write her own TV scripts."
Even more unbelievable is that he was spotted by a film and television company, made into a TV series, and given the lead role. This is just too incredible! Is he really a super genius?
Of course, he was very interested in TV dramas and asked him many questions about them.
. . . . .
For several days in a row, there were constant interviews, and naturally, the news media published reports about him in various forms.
The TV series "Someday or One Day" has been frequently reported by the media and has gained a lot of exposure. In fact, when it was learned that the production company was National Chang Sheng Film and Television Company, many reporters went to National Chang Sheng Film and Television Company for interviews.
Zhang Guoli and producer Zhou Haopeng were overjoyed; it was like a windfall. Such a huge amount of attention would naturally be of great help in selling the series in the next step.
Zhang Guoli even made a special call to thank Lin Zixuan, saying that he had already contacted several TV stations and would invite them to watch the show once post-production was completed.
On October 20th, something even more surprising happened.
Xinhua News Agency published an editorial stating, "Literary and artistic workers must uphold their original aspirations in art, fulfill the mission of 'coming from the people and going to the people,' and promote Chinese culture."
The article calls on us, as literary and artistic workers in the new era, to not only uphold our original aspirations in art and hone our professional skills, but also to keep the masses in mind, serve the people, and fulfill the mission and responsibility of literary and artistic workers to "come from the people and go to the people," so as to contribute more to the building of socialist spiritual civilization.
The article also specifically praised Lin Zixuan's new song "Chinese Language," saying that the song not only innovatively combines classical Chinese culture with Western hip-hop music, but is also catchy and loved by the people, allowing the world to better understand the charm of Chinese culture. It is a rare and excellent song full of positive energy that actively promotes Chinese culture.
The publication of this editorial was tantamount to an official intervention, bringing an end to the war of words between Lam Tsz-hin and La Ying, and giving a definitive conclusion.
Although the article did not name names, anyone who has read it can understand that it is supporting Lin Zixuan and criticizing La Ying, given the online feud between Lin Zixuan and La Ying a few days ago.
Subsequently, other media outlets followed suit, giving Linton extensive exposure and publicity, and online discussions about him became overwhelming.
Benefiting from high-intensity exposure, "Chinese Language" has seen record-breaking play counts and downloads on five major music platforms.
In less than a week, the total number of plays on the five major music platforms exceeded 100 million, and the number of downloads exceeded 10 million, setting new records for the fastest to reach 100 million plays and the fastest to reach 10 million downloads.
The song's overall popularity soared to the top spot, far surpassing other songs.
Even the ringtone downloads reached 50. It should be noted that the song "Chinese" is not particularly suitable as a ringtone, so the high number of downloads is entirely due to the popularity of the song.
Of course, due to his popularity and media promotion, the popularity of his three songs, "Autumn Never Returns," "Wait a Minute," and "Damn Tenderness," has also increased significantly, including a substantial increase in ringtone downloads.
His Sina blog and Baidu Tieba Xuanyuan Bar saw another surge in followers, each exceeding one million. His follower count ranked in the top 10 on both blogs and Baidu Tieba, truly placing him in the first tier. At this point, he genuinely felt that he had become a star.
What's even better is that his popularity has been growing rapidly these past few days, with daily increases of no less than 50.
It's like Qin Shi Huang touching an electric gate and winning a lottery.
