Chapter 256 Traffic War, Lively, Different Now than Before

It has been said before that the movie Spring Festival schedule is often set 30 days before the Spring Festival, and last year, that is, the Spring Festival schedule in 2024 was set about 28 days before the Spring Festival.

And it is set all at once.

Just think about it, it is still several months away from the Spring Festival. At present, except for "The Lost Daughter" which has announced its release date early, other movies are still in the dark.

But the entertainment industry always has to find something to do.

The National Day has just ended, and there are no tax evasion, sexual harassment, multiple lovers, having a child, being accused of domestic violence by ex-girlfriends, etc. in the entertainment industry.

Even the paparazzi in the entertainment industry have not had any big news recently.

At this time, when everyone is looking for heat, hey, it's here.

The big drama at the beginning of the year has been rolled up directly.

First, since the National Day holiday, the three TV series "For Whom the Bell Tolls", "The Power of the Heart", and "The Dark Before Dawn" have been released one after another.

The director rolled up, the production company rolled up, and the actors rolled up.

In short, the topic is naturally full.

However, although "For Whom the Bell Tolls" and "Dark Before Dawn" are competitors, and they are direct competitors, except for the director, most of the actors are quite friendly.

Just like when Lin Xing participated in Lao Yang and Kong Shan's reading club, he also specifically talked about Ren Yi's "Dark Before Dawn".

Later, Ren Yi also helped Lin Xing forward "For Whom the Bell Tolls" to promote it.

The main focus is harmony.

On the other hand, because "Dark Before Dawn" has less traffic than "For Whom the Bell Tolls".

Look, Liang Yi, Lin Xing, and An Yifeng in "For Whom the Bell Tolls" are all huge artists with their own traffic.

But do you say they are traffic artists? ?

That's not it.

They are artists with their own traffic, but not traffic artists.

Although this is a bit confusing, those who understand it will understand it.

It is precisely because of this that the popularity of "For Whom the Bell Tolls" has remained high these days, especially An Yifeng's fans are expressing their dissatisfaction there.

Let's put it this way. Although An Yifeng is only the second female lead in "For Whom the Bell Tolls", the traffic and popularity contributed by her fans are definitely the first female lead.

In comparison, the popularity of "Dark Before Dawn" is very strong, but the traffic is much worse.

Apart from other things, Ren Yi's Weibo reposts are only hundreds of times. In comparison, Xiang Ying's traffic is higher.

In addition, the traffic of other actors is average.

Again, they are drama bones, so it is naturally impossible for them to swipe the screen, control comments, or even get traffic.

But after all, this drama was broadcast on CCTV, and with the promotion of Dongning Media for this drama, the popularity has not diminished at all.

And during this period, the one that really attracted the most popularity is "The Power of the Conspiracy".

There are too many traffic artists in this drama, and each of them thinks they are the top streamers.

In addition, this drama has released a trailer recently, which is a group drama trailer.

Obviously, the three dramas "For Whom the Bell Tolls", "Darkness Before Dawn" and "The Power of the Heart" are really competing.

This year's opening drama competition has been held every year, but it is the first time that it has been held so early and so fiercely like this year.

And just when many people thought that "The Bell" would be a black all the time, another drama suddenly joined the melee.

The most important thing is that this drama is more popular, which has something to do with Lin Xing.

Because the leading actor of this drama is Chu Chen.

Yes.

Chu Chen.

Since the broadcast of "Only Waiting for You" last year, Chu Chen's popularity has declined sharply, and the most important thing is that his popularity has dropped sharply.

After all, who has ever seen a supporting actor eat at the table? ?

It is precisely because of this that Chu Chen is ready to shoot ancient idol dramas again after this drama failed.

Apart from anything else, ancient idol dramas are Chu Chen's comfort zone.

Because in the urban drama "Only Waiting for You", especially in a serious drama, Chu Chen can't use filters well.

So his team finally chose to let Chu Chen play ancient idols again, at least to stabilize the popularity of the basic base first.

More importantly, because Chu Chen has been very low-key since joining the group, Chu Chen's team has been very low-key for more than a year.

Even every time Chu Chen's team is on the hot search, they have to lower their profile.

Obviously, this "Just Waiting for You" has left a huge psychological shadow on Chu Chen.

Where you fall, you get up from there.

In Chu Chen's opinion, there is no problem with his performance, but he is not suitable for this kind of urban drama.

This time, the ancient puppet drama shot by Chu Chen is called "Eternal Life", which is adapted from the famous IP "I am Eternal Life" of Qidian, and it is a phenomenal work in 2023.

Therefore, the popularity of this drama "Eternal Life" is still quite high.

But before that, Chu Chen was filming this drama silently, and occasionally some materials were passed on, which were very few.

Let's put it this way.

The crew of "Eternal Life" is also very low-key.

There was no publicity for the start of the show, not to mention the media visits.

What no one expected was that the show was announced on January 15th.

As for the cast, there is no need to mention it.

Compared with the full flow of other ancient puppet shows, this "Eternal Life" is actually 90% of the actors.

Yes.

Except for Chu Chen and several other leading actors, all the supporting roles are veteran actors.

The cast is extremely strong.

After the first trailer was released on the 16th, it received unanimous praise.

"6666, Chu Chen has really gotten rid of the oiliness, so damn handsome."

"Chu Chen's filming of ancient idol dramas is a dimensionality reduction attack."

"Oh my god, this is Chu Chen's handsomeness, he really looks like a fairy in flowing clothes. When I read the immortal novels on Qidian, the protagonist I substituted was Chu Chen."

...

"Wow, this lineup is too damn strong, Chu Chen, Tong Li, Wang Zishuai, Qin Ya and others are all top stars, plus all the actors are veteran actors, these supporting roles are the protagonists in other dramas."

"I can't believe this lineup, this is not an ancient idol drama, this is a serious drama."

"No wonder "Eternal Life" has been kept secret, almost dozens of leading actors are veteran actors."

"All the guest appearances are big names, I think this drama is probably stable."

"I thought this year's opening drama was lively enough, but I didn't expect it to be even more lively."

...

When "Eternal Life" was scheduled, basically many people were shocked.

This time, the industry was also a little surprised.

You should know that "Eternal Life" has not been promoted from beginning to end, but it is not an airdrop, after all, there are still more than three months before the show starts.

In this drama, Chu Chen is basically the absolute male lead.

After all, online novels are definitely set up with male protagonists.

Chu Chen forwarded the release date preview and said: "Long time no see, fate is unfair, only against the will of heaven to change fate, on January 15, let's watch "Eternal Life" together and see how Qi Changsheng seeks immortality. This time, I just want to win."

The Weibo forwarded by Chu Chen quickly exploded in the forwarding area and comment area.

It broke 100,000 in almost an hour.

"Baby, I'm glad you've stood up. I knew that capital couldn't defeat you. We all know how much you've been attacked in "Only Waiting for You". I feel so sorry for you."

"We'll win this time. Remember the overwhelming black search last year? They wanted to destroy the baby, but what can't be killed will only make you stronger. We'll fight this battle with you."

"Stand up from where you fell. For the opening drama of 2025, we'll only watch "Eternal Life."

"Let some people see what a real hit drama is. It's impossible for some people to destroy us by black material."

...

The comment area of ​​Chu Chen has been completely occupied by fans.

These fans all posted stills of Chu Chen in "Eternal Life", and at the same time did not forget to scold Lin Xing.

In the eyes of fans, Chu Chen suffered a backstab from Lin Xing in "Only Waiting for You" last year.

This is the cocoon thinking of the fan circle. They don't think Chu Chen's acting is so bad or so bad.

They just think Chu Chen was attacked.

As the top star, how many people want to blacken Chu Chen, and even how many people want to step on Chu Chen to get to the top.

Therefore, over the past year or so, Lin Xing has been an enemy to Chu Chen's fans, and it is almost the same as the hatred of killing his father.

Otherwise, why are there always Chu Chen's fans who lead the rhythm every time Lin Xing is scolded?

They have been waiting for an opportunity, an opportunity to kill Lin Xing in an upright manner.

This time, Chu Chen's new drama is scheduled, and although it is not a direct challenge with Lin Xing, it is almost the same.

In this way, it would be strange if Chu Chen's fans are not excited.

More importantly, the production of the drama "Eternal Life" is quite powerful, and the cast is even more powerful.

In such a situation, how can Chu Chen's fans not be confident?

"Anyone dares to claim to be a top star in recent years, and now the real top star is here, Chu Chen is here to clean up the ancient idol drama."

"Laugh, how many people have been bashing Chu Chen in recent years, even since Chu Chen debuted, but Chu Chen is getting better and better, those marketing accounts that say Chu Chen doesn't have a big production, come out and say a few words??"

" x-on:Lin Xing, idiot, will you continue to let your capital support you this time??"

" x-on:Lin Xing, idiot, go sell your ass quickly, let Xin Hui support you."

...

It is obvious that Chu Chen's fans think they are going to win this round, and on the other hand, they are crazy about Lin Xing.

After all, Chu Chen's fans' logic is self-consistent.

You know, they think Chu Chen had no problems in the drama "Only Waiting for You", but he was sniped, backstabbed, and explosion-proofed.

For Chu Chen's fans, Lin Xing was supported by capital.

So who is the capital behind Lin Xing?

This is obvious.

Xin Hui.

Everyone knows that Xin Hui is a fool with a lot of money. He thinks that a few hundred million is nothing.

You should know that before "Hidden Lurker", many people didn't know that Lin Xing and Xin Hui had such a good relationship.

It should be said that Xin Hui is the man behind Lin Xing.

So, if you say that before "Hidden Lurker", you may not believe this, but now there is no doubt.

You can see that Xin Hui directly threw tens of millions to make this game for Lin Xing.

This Xin Hui must have helped Lin Xing in various ways before.

And why Lin Xing has been a failure for ten years, how come he suddenly became successful? ? ?

Isn't it because there is a sponsor? ?

This Xin Hui is Lin Xing's sponsor.

Besides, who doesn’t know that in the entertainment industry it would be almost impossible or even impossible to become popular without financial backers.

For this reason, today, Chu Chen's fans finally started to get mad.

Compared with the recent internal drama, Lin Xing has not been pushed to the forefront. After all, "For Whom the Bell Tolls" is being torn apart by An Yifeng fans.

The result is now good, Lin Xing was brought to the front desk by Chu Chen's fans.

Seeing this situation, Niu Xiang fans did not intend to let it go easily.

All of a sudden, I changed from the PK of the drama to a human being.

Chu Chen and Niu Xiang are both one of the four top streamers, and they belong to the old top stream. After all, their current traffic is in the 17s, 89s, or even in their 20s.

But both Chu Chen and Niu Xiang are already over 30.

Among the top four at that time, it goes without saying that Qi Shuai has already collapsed, and Bian Pengtao has become a fool. Anyway, he has made enough money, and now he is only addicted to drinking and sex.

As for Chu Chen and Niu Xiang, they both want to go further.

Then this is a coincidence.

Who would have thought that Chu Chen and Niu Xiang would have drama to compete with.

But I have to say that Chu Chen fans are a little bit embarrassed, because in their eyes Niu Xiang is the second male lead and Chu Chen is the first male lead.

What's more important is that although Chu Chen is acting in an ancient puppet show, it is a popular IP in Xianxia, ​​and all the actors in this show are actors.

Yes.

Chu Chen fans think that Chu Chen is also considered a drama star.

"What the hell???"

Wei Fei looked at the situation on the Internet and said angrily: "This is simply a forced confrontation. Ah Xing, sue them directly."

"My manager has collected evidence for some malicious rumors, but we can wait until our show starts airing."

Lin Xinghun said nonchalantly: "Chu Chen's fans are already ready to open the champagne, so let's not disturb them."

"Okay, Axing, your mentality is indeed okay."

Wei Fei said with some admiration: "I really can't bear it if you let him go."

"What's this? I've been looked down upon and treated a lot differently in the ten years I've been on the street."

Lin Xing really didn't take the situation online seriously.

Today, he mainly wanted to get together with Wei Fei and talk about the script of "Killing Arden".

You must know that Lin Xing is planning to start filming this drama after the Spring Festival. He even needs to prepare for the character of A Ding, so he really is not in a hurry for a while.

For this reason, Lin Xing felt that Wei Fei could do other movies if she wanted to, as long as she kept her schedule after the new year.

"Yang Tian invited me to film "If There Is No Tomorrow", but it was mainly just a few guest appearances."

Wei Fei smiled and said: "Yang Tian would like to ask if you are interested in making a guest appearance??"

"We'll see when she starts filming."

Lin Xing thought for a while and said: "If I have time, I can make a guest appearance."

Next on the 18th, the day before Lin Xing was preparing to go to Shanghai, "Guests with an Appointment" was broadcast as scheduled.

This interview can be regarded as another big wave of publicity for "For Whom the Bell Tolls".

Regardless of the industry or other people, everyone just thinks that Lin Xing is really calm.

You must know that Lin Xing has indeed been scolded a lot these days.

Fans Chu Chen and Niu Xiang seemed to have formed an offensive and defensive alliance. The two families had been tearing Lin Xing apart and scolding Lin Xing.

But the response from Lin Xing's fans was far from strong, but Lin Xing himself didn't care.

He is now an actor, different from these popular actors.

Why bother with them?

To put it another way, Lin Xing's response was to give them face.

For more than a year, when Lin Xing was filming "Just Waiting for You", he was just a guest star, not even the second male lead.

At that time, no one cared about him. As a director, Kong Yi didn't even pay attention to Lin Xing, let alone Chu Chen.

But now, everything is different.

Chu Chen was no longer worth mentioning in Lin Xing's eyes.
