Chapter 190 Fault Top Flow - Professor Chi

— Few celebrities post selfies, but Shang Youshu is the first big name in the Chinese entertainment industry to post a selfie from "My Love from the Star".

After Jiang left a sarcastic reply to Shang Jie's Weibo post, he paid online trolls to boost the number of likes. Sure enough, not long after, viewers of "My Love from the Star" asked, "Who else posted this? Who else?! Tell us their address!"

Jiang smirked and typed his name: "@FakeJiang is not me. Remember, you must add the words 'fake wine.' This is a secondary account."

Click send, and a message will appear: [Your comment is suspected of violating regulations.]

He paused for a moment, then changed to a different account ID.

System notification: [Your comment has been deleted.]

Jiang: "???"

Damn it, we were too late!
He should have realized that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity when he saw "My Love from the Star" dominating the trending topics almost every day!

Unfortunately, Shang Youshu is my formidable rival!
at the same time.

Many others share the same heart-wrenching sentiment as Jiang.

For example, Chicken Claw Zhang, Yangzi, Rise Sister-in-Law Group, and even Rose Rat Man, Rice Pirate Group, Xiang You, etc...

—It's no wonder everyone was slow to react. The popularity of "My Love from the Star" came so suddenly that it caught everyone off guard. By the time they realized what was happening, Shang Youshu had already fired the first shot.

Subsequently, more young actresses and actors, and even established actresses and actors, realized what was happening. However, the latter two are still relatively reserved, while other artists are not so pretentious. They all followed Shang Youshu's example and started taking selfies on Weibo while watching the drama "My Love from the Star".

Because of Cheon Song-yi's character design, there are so many snacks and local delicacies in the three episodes of "My Love from the Star" that everyone doesn't have to worry about "clashing" with Sister Shang.

If you send me spicy hot pot and fried chicken, I'll send you pork ribs and rice cakes.

If you send me pork ribs and rice cakes, I'll send you spicy strips and milk tea.

In short, one act ends and another begins. After the initial "impact" of "My Love from the Star," the Chinese entertainment industry has finally "awakened," and for a time, a hundred flowers bloom and a hundred schools of thought contend.

It seems like everyone in the industry is watching "My Love from the Star".

That evening, the fourth episode of "My Love from the Star" aired, and the popularity on the Kuaishou website exceeded 13000, reaching 14300, breaking the highest popularity in the history of Kuaishou. The viewership rating reached a terrifying 2.9%, breaking the viewership ceiling of Tomato TV in nearly 8 years, and leading "The Moon Brightens for You" and "The Long Night" by many times.

Yu Yanfang was stunned, Yue Na was stunned, and even the confident Tencent Video and Hunan TV were stunned.

what's the situation? ?

what happened? !

How could the world have changed so much in just three or four days?!

Weibo's door-to-door campaign.

Backstage.

"How can this be... This is illogical! Did they buy the rights to 'My Love from the Star'? It's only aired four episodes, how come it's more popular than the final episodes of those hugely hit dramas?!"

Yu Yan's agent looked on incredulously, shaking his head as he watched the phenomenal success of "My Love from the Star" that night.

Is this right? This isn't right!

Beside him, Yu Yan's expression was also somewhat dazed.

He couldn't understand it either. It's just a modern idol drama, right? My popularity is N times higher than yours, Chi Ye's. How can you... have this kind of momentum?

Furthermore, what does this kind of momentum represent for the actor personally?
For the first time, he felt a sense of "fear"—a sense of "crisis" he hadn't experienced since his debut.

"Brother Yan, Chi Ye has suddenly dropped to number one on the Vlinkage chart!"

A team member who monitors the artist rankings in real time walked in, his voice urgent: "They've surpassed us!"

Yu Yan was taken aback, and her agent suddenly turned around.

Vlinkage Artist New Media Index Ranking

This list is a battleground for top celebrities in the industry, and it is recognized both inside and outside the industry as the most authoritative comprehensive index list for artists.

The list is released daily, taking into account various factors such as the number of views of an artist's works, online exposure, and the level of discussion surrounding the topic.

At the same time, it is very time-sensitive. For example, when "Loop" was first broadcast, Ikeno Moritaka was once in the top three.

But not long after, he was replaced.

And from beginning to end, he was never able to surpass Yu Yan, who had been at the top of the list for years, and he couldn't even see the exhaust fumes of him.

After "Loop," Ikeno disappeared from the public eye, because this list mainly references celebrities from popular dramas. Although he took a different approach with "Singer," his ranking on this recognized top-tier list has never been high.

This is why his image is so complex within the industry—in mainstream film and television, Ikeno is indeed not very good.

But today, or rather, starting a couple of days ago, his name has begun to appear on various authoritative traffic ranking lists.

What is meant by "airdrop"?

Previously, Ikeno had never been in the top ten of any of the lists, but one day, he suddenly appeared in the number one position.

It wasn't a gradual climb from the top ten to the top five, and then from the top five to the top three; it went straight to number one.

Vlinkage Artist Ranking No.1, Guduo Artist Popularity Index No.1, Baidu Index Celebrity Ranking No.1, Yunhe Data Artist No.1...

Dozens of charts, dozens of the most watched popularity charts inside and outside the industry, Chi Ye achieved a record-breaking "parachute domination" of the charts in less than four days after the broadcast of "My Love from the Star".

Once the name appears, it's already ranked first.

Previously, Yu Yan had been number one on all the above lists, leading by a significant margin.

Now, he has been "trampled down" by Chi Ye overnight.

Yu Yan was stunned, truly stunned this time. She looked at her manager with complete bewilderment, like a hunter who had lost his most powerful weapon, finding it hard to believe what was happening before her eyes.

How could this be...? How is this possible...?

I have such a huge lead, how could he possibly step on my head as soon as he appears?
"Don't worry, Xiaoyan, don't panic..."

The agent looked at the various data lists that they were most "proud" of in the past, her head was also buzzing, but when she looked up and saw Yu Yan's expression, she forcibly suppressed her chaotic feelings and comforted her: "Maybe it's just one day, right?"

Who is second?

Yu Yan suddenly asked.

The agent paused, then said awkwardly, "Um... Jin Xia."

So I'm not even second?!

Yu Yan: "...Baizhi and Yunhe, one is the popularity of casual searches, and the other is the effective number of views of the series... These two cannot be faked."

The agent remained silent.

Among the above lists, Vlinkage and Guduo are "market proof" of fan circle traffic, while Baizhi and Yunhe are the recent attention of the general public. In other words, they can be understood as "fan-attracting lists".

This……

The agent suddenly remembered that several times when she saw Chi Ye's face, she would subconsciously feel disgusted—because she knew that this face could really threaten Yu Yan, as long as he had a blockbuster work.

So now... is "My Love from the Star" considered a huge hit?

Can Xiaoyan maintain her dominant position?

The agent suddenly fell into a strange "panic".

She felt an indescribable fear.

……

Mango station.

The head of the ratings center looked at the ratings, popularity and other data of "Nan Chu" and "My Love from the Star" several times in a daze, and then he put down the data report.

It's not that I understand it, it's that... there seems to be no comparison at all.

"My Love from the Star" has aired four episodes and is now leading "The Long Night" by about three or four episodes.

Hmm... It sounds awkward and ridiculous, but... the person in charge now feels ridiculous himself.

"Hahaha, hahaha..."

He laughed, not understanding why.

Upon hearing the boss's eerie laughter, all the staff around held their breath. The assistant who had rejected Chi Ye and brought in the top star Yu Yan for his new drama was even more trembling and pale-faced.

"I heard that 'My Love from the Star' broke 2.9 in ratings today. Hey... what do you think it will get for the finale? Could it be a record high for the last ten years?"

After the person in charge finished laughing, he asked the people around him.

"..."

There was silence.

"We're trying to secure the second round of rights so that Xiao Li and Lao Ge from 'See You' can contact Chi Ye."

"……it is good."

The person in charge looked at his deputy: "You'd better be prepared...sigh."

The deputy was deathly pale and remained silent.

However, he couldn't help but wonder, was it really that exaggerated?

It's not just about the "handling" he's about to face, but also about the fermentation of "My Love from the Star".

Is a hit idol drama really that exaggerated? It's not like this hasn't happened before in the Chinese entertainment industry.

……

"It's not that exaggerated."

Penguin Video.

The distribution manager, who had just finished communicating with Yue Na and Yu Yanfang, hung up the phone and asked, "What are the ratings and viewership figures for 'Nan Du' today?"

"The popularity on the platform still hasn't broken 30,000... the viewership has dropped to 0.8%... um... 0.7%."

Management response.

The person in charge was stunned: "Why are the ratings dropping so fast?!"

"...My Love from the Star is also a contemporary romance drama."

The person in charge remained silent.

Generally speaking, when the three major platforms compete, if the dramas have different themes and target audiences, even if one platform makes the right bet, the impact on the other two platforms will be limited.

However, if it's a drama of the same genre, such as "My Love from the Star" and "The Long Night," then it's not just a simple matter of influence; it will directly come and steal your audience and viewership!
If you put yourself in the audience's shoes, you'll realize that whether you like watching modern idol dramas or watching a bad movie, or paying for a bad movie or subscribing to watch "My Love from the Star," it doesn't really seem like a choice at all.

So, this was a huge loss?!

The person in charge touched his nose: "It shouldn't be... that exaggerated."

"Well, generally, modern romance dramas are not as popular as historical romance dramas. I feel that the current popularity of 'My Love from the Star' is partly due to the marketing efforts behind the scenes by Chi Ye and Kuying."

Another executive nodded.

—It's not just them who think so. At this moment, most people inside and outside the industry know that "My Love from the Star" is a hit, but they can only guess and apply their past experience to how big of a hit it will be.

until a certain day.

The scene of the preparation for the variety show "Folding the Moon".

Sheng Ning had just finished communicating with the program team and was about to go back to the RV to rest for a while when her assistant rushed over: "Sister, the announcements for the top luxury events the day after tomorrow and the day after that have been canceled."

"Ok?"

Sheng Ning was taken aback, puzzled: "Wasn't it already booked? How can it be canceled so easily?"

"Hmm..." The assistant paused, carefully observing Ning Jie's expression before stammering, "Well... the event organizers didn't say why, but... I inquired and it seems they want to have Jin Xia as their spokesperson."

"This summer?!"

Sheng Ning's phoenix eyes narrowed, and she instantly realized something: "Because of that 'My Love from the Star'?"

"should be."

"Ha, ridiculous."

Sheng Ning laughed in exasperation.

She thought those luxury brand events were absurd.

Although "My Love from the Star" is popular and has recently gained a lot of attention, her "The Legend of Folding Moon" is also quite popular, achieving a minor success, and has a longer number of episodes. Ancient costume dramas usually start to gain momentum in the mid-to-late stages, and the production team and platform are even preparing their "group variety show".

In this situation, the luxury brand organizers actually canceled her event because of the current popularity of "My Love from the Star".

What do you call this? This is called short-sighted and ungrateful!
"Are they out of their minds? Don't they know that this summer's so-called 'Four Little Actresses' is just trying to force a connection with us? She's been silent for years, and she's even resorted to creating a CP (couple pairing) with Chi Ye. Now, just because a modern romance drama has only aired a few episodes, they're rushing to fawn over her?!"

Sheng Ning is usually not very talkative, but she talks a lot when she's angry—she put in so much effort for these top luxury brands, why should she just "give" them to Jin Xia?!
She was angry, and even more so, she wondered if those manufacturers were idiots.
This summer, my hair has been completely blurred into the shape of Ikeno for the past two years.

“Uh…” The assistant glanced at Sister Ning secretly before hesitatingly saying, “It doesn’t seem to be solely due to the drama… Well, no, that’s not quite right… I heard from a friend who works at a luxury brand that the clothes she wore in ‘My Love from the Star’ this summer have all sold out… I don’t know if it’s true or not, but that’s what she said.”

Sheng Ning was stunned: "What? A luxury brand? Sold out?"

These are such unfamiliar words.

"Yes... anyway, all their brands are sold out. I'm not sure about other top luxury brands..."

Sheng Ning stood there stunned for a moment, then suddenly looked at Peng Chen, who was "three meters away" from her.

The other person was staring at her intently, their face showing the same shock, displeasure, and bewilderment.

Seeing his expression, Sheng Ning instantly realized something: "You..."

“Ah, I haven’t lost any endorsements or events,” Peng Chen explained. “Chi Ye probably doesn’t care about my resources right now.”

Sheng Ning: "..."

She turned to her assistant and asked, "What titles did those luxury brands give to Jin Xia?"

The assistant held her breath: "Global spokesperson."

"..."

Sheng Ning fell completely silent.

Global brand ambassador – this is the highest level of endorsement for top luxury brands, bar none.

This summer… Ikeno… My Love from the Star…

At first, everyone thought this was just another ordinary "blockbuster" modern romance drama.

She suddenly thought of this sentence for no apparent reason.

……

In a club.

"This script can't be filmed in mainland China; it won't pass censorship."

Ikenori was wrapped up in layers of clothing, and even after entering the private room, she still showed no intention of taking off her hat and mask.

But none of the people in the private room thought he was "making a mountain out of a molehill".

Right outside the private room, even the highly qualified waiters, who are known for having the strictest confidentiality measures in the industry, and even the lobby manager, were peeking into the room, staring at the young man who was completely "wrapped up."

Several waitresses screamed and stomped their feet, their voices trembling as they cried out, "Ahhh! Professor Chi himself! The living Professor Chi!"

"Can we go ask Professor Chi for his autograph later? I can't take it anymore, I'm dying, please let me see him just once, just once!"
