Global Film Emperor

Chapter 101 Sorry, Lu Ze is famous.
Just five hours later, thanks to the thoughtful recommendations from various Weibo bloggers and ordinary viewers, many people who hadn't paid attention to "Forensic Doctor Qin Ming" realized that there seemed to be a good drama that was worth watching.

To date, the vast majority of people have not given up the habit of watching TV dramas. Even if they watch very little, they will find a TV drama that they can watch to pass the time when they are bored.

Therefore, the number of downloads for Wandou Video experienced its largest peak in three years after 10 p.m., with over 200,000 downloads and over 50,000 new users before 2 a.m.

The number of views had already exceeded one million before midnight, with each episode averaging over two hundred thousand views. This is a top-tier achievement for a second-tier video website with virtually no traffic.

Most importantly, the conversion rate of members has never fallen below five to one, and the vast majority of members completed their recharge within half an hour after watching the two free episodes, which shows that the quality of this show is very high.

The next morning, when Lu Ze and Han Chen got up and headed to the headquarters of Wandou Video, they were immediately overwhelmed with surprise.

This made them still believe that excellent web dramas would never be buried, and they also realized how hungry and thirsty the audience was in an era where bad dramas were rampant.

Is this the end? No, it's just the beginning.

By midnight on the second day, the total number of clicks exceeded five million, with a single episode exceeding five hundred thousand clicks, 90,000 new members, and a conversion rate of 4.2 to 1.

On the third day, the number of clicks exceeded 10 million, the number of clicks for a single episode exceeded 800,000, the number of new members reached 120,000, and the conversion rate was 4.7 to 1.

Day four.
Day 5.
By the thirteenth day, "Forensic Doctor Qin Ming" had surpassed 100 million views, with each episode averaging 1.5 million views, 210,000 new members joining the show, and a conversion rate of 6.3 to 1!

Sorry, Lu Ze has become famous.

At this time, he had over two million followers on Weibo. Apart from four thousand fake followers, he hadn't faked any of his followers. This was a genuine achievement, not a fabrication.

As for having over ten million fans for a single show, forget about it. It's impossible; those numbers are all artificially inflated.

However, this also highlighted the activity level of Lu Ze's fans. Even Shen Jinghan tagged "Lu Ze Studio," a studio that Qian Shijia specifically set up for Lu Ze, through Lu Ze's Weibo account. Such a simple Weibo post received more than 3,000 comments.

This was a last resort, because Lu Ze really wasn't one to post on Weibo. He usually didn't even look at it, and if you asked him to post something, he couldn't come up with a single word for ages. He couldn't just post things like, "The sun is so strong today, it's so hot," or "What did I eat every day?"

Therefore, the purpose of "Lu Ze Studio" is to help Lu Ze interact with fans, reveal some of Lu Ze's daily life and habits, release some of Lu Ze's artistic photos and schedules, and so on. In short, it is a work team to maintain the stickiness of fans.

Who is taking pictures of Lu Ze's daily life? Wang Zixuan. She's like a spy all the time, always holding a phone. She doesn't bother Lu Ze when he wants to do something, but just takes a picture while he's doing something and sends it to his studio. After they select it, it's uploaded to Weibo.

This led to jokes from fans, suggesting they might as well just unfollow Lu Ze. They figured following his studio would be enough to stay updated, so what was the point of following an empty account? [Dog face emoji]

These changes initially made Lu Ze somewhat uncomfortable. The only thing that made him feel relieved was that the average age of his fans was not too young. There were some fourteen or fifteen-year-olds, but they were few and far between.

Most of them are high school and college students, but there are also quite a few white-collar workers.

Most people lose their strong sense of idols after entering high school and focus more on the people and things around them.

The main problem is that there's just too much homework in high school. I can't even finish it all, and I'm exhausted. Who cares about idols then?

After high school, will people still pay attention to these celebrities? Yes, but they will start to become more rational and will no longer do crazy things for celebrities.

Only occasionally, when this topic comes up with friends, will I answer without feeling ashamed: "I really like XXX, I especially like his movies (or his songs), have you heard of XXX?"

Perhaps the meaning of a celebrity's existence is not to be glamorous and dazzling in front of others, making everyone think that they are outstanding individuals living a high-class life, nor is it to be fawned over by fans, living like an emperor in their own dream of being superior to others.

Instead, he serves the public, accompanies and supports those who support him, finds joy amidst the busyness of studying and working, and acts as a spice in their otherwise dull lives.

Accompanying those who love him as they grow, from naivety to maturity, and finally bidding them a warm farewell when they settle down and start their own families—that is the true meaning of being an artist. Lu Ze hopes he can achieve that.

Lu Ze only stayed in Hangzhou for two nights. On the afternoon of the third day, he returned to Shanghai to continue shooting artistic photos, followed by a small runway show.

This was just a small fan meeting, and not many fans came. Shen Jinghan originally wanted to find a group of extras to make up the numbers, but Lu Ze refused.

He knows exactly how much is owed and has a good understanding of the situation. Spending money and then putting on a show is meaningless. He hopes to talk to the audience who truly like his work, not a bunch of robots who just shout, "XXX, I love you."

After "Forensic Doctor Qin Ming" became a hit, Lu Ze became busy, but he was busy with the wrong things. He turned down all other film contracts because he had already signed a contract for "Hello, Mr. Tree".

Simply put, Lu Ze went to make some quick money in a few days. Now Lu Ze's appearance fee can reach three or four hundred thousand. Shen Jinghan saw that Lu Ze was very free, so he did not refuse this kind of trip, which was a good opportunity to earn some money to buy clothes.

He was free all day because Qian Shijia had prepared a celebratory banquet for the "Qin Ming" crew at the CapitaLand Hotel, which affected the entire company.

After smoothing out the wrinkles in his clothes, Lu Ze closed the car door and entered the hotel. He was now used to such high-class places and no longer felt uncomfortable going to such places.

"Are you Lu Ze?"

He was waiting for the hotel elevator when a young, unfamiliar woman next to him took off her glasses, stared at Lu Ze intently for a while, thought for a long time, and finally asked after confirming her suspicions.

"It's me, hello."

She seemed a little agitated at first, but being well-mannered, she quickly regained her composure, took off her glasses, and gently tucked her long, coffee-colored hair behind her ear.

"I'm a fan of yours. I really like the characters you play. I've liked them ever since Guo Xiaofei, and I like Qin Ming even more. Can I take a picture with you?"

"of course can."

She switched her phone to the camera and handed it to Wang Zixuan. Then she gently took Lu Ze's arm. When Wang Zixuan finished taking the picture and handed the phone back to her, she did not show any reluctance. She was very calm and elegant.

"Thank you, then I'll be going now. Goodbye."

She took a notebook out of her bag, wrote something down, tore off a piece of paper, and then had Lu Ze sign it. When Lu Ze returned the notebook to her, she shook hands with him, placed the torn piece of paper between their palms, gently scratched Lu Ze's palm with her index finger, and then waved goodbye.

He casually stuffed the note into his pocket. The elevator arrived, and Lu Ze waved to her with a smile, then casually put the note back into his pocket and closed the elevator door.

Once inside the elevator, Lu Ze's expression instantly turned cold. Wang Zixuan unbuttoned her coat pockets, opened them with both hands, and Lu Ze tossed the note inside.

This thing is explosives. Starting these past few days, girls have been sending him explosives. If it falls out and gets exposed, it will be a big problem. It's better to let Wang Zixuan handle it later.

If you simply like Lu Ze's acting, then Lu Ze is very happy to accept it. But if you want something beyond friendship to happen, then forget it. He can control his mind and his body.

Grass powder? He wouldn't do something like that.

The elevator doors opened, and he stepped out first, a smile returning to his face.

The fourth watch is today, more to come later.
