Who said this top flow is crazy! This top flow is awesome!

Chapter 387, the drama king with all five poisons, was released online.

What are they so excited about?
It's nothing more than hating Ikeno for too long, being jealous for too long, and the brilliance of the top star is too dazzling. People can't all be called vain creatures, but among those in the entertainment industry, very few are indifferent to fame and fortune.

The immense popularity of "The Long Moon" spread across the entire internet in just a few days, which made Tencent and Zhang Qing realize that this was an excellent opportunity to target Chi Ye.

Of course, there are still vested interests involved; their goal is to make Ikeno's "first battle" a failure.

Even if doing so would bring some traffic to "Love O2O" for no reason, it doesn't matter.

Even without their "opportunistic promotion," "Love O2O" would certainly not lack popularity with Chi Ye, a master of marketing, standing behind it.

Secondly, they did this because they were certain that without Ikeno's help, "Love O2O" would not achieve a result that would satisfy everyone inside and outside the industry.

It's not enough to just make your broadcast "acceptable" to everyone inside and outside the industry.

The requirements are very high. Everyone has their own interpretation of Hamlet, and to make everyone think "Wow, this is so popular" is something that, so far, perhaps only "My Love from the Star" and "Goblin" have achieved without any controversy.

"Loop" has been questioned to this day. It was not a big hit at all. At most, it was a minor hit with some positive reviews. Its influence and other aspects were far from those of a true phenomenon.

——This is the truth.

Such a high level of difficulty is an important indicator for Chino Company to soar to new heights—it is different from other small companies that start businesses in the entertainment industry. Others can form alliances and compromise, have a very high tolerance for mistakes, and the artists in the industry are more "tolerant" of them.

But Ikeno is different; he has too many enemies, and each of his adversaries is larger than the last.

If Coconut Culture fails to achieve much in this high-profile tripartite collaboration, it will essentially ruin any further career advancement for him, and his rise in status and position within the industry will come to an abrupt halt.

An actor who only acts and becomes famous through acting, even if they break through the ceiling, is still just an actor or a performer.

Now that the real Empress Dowager has passed away, the Jin family can no longer provide Chi Ye with any more help. And the higher-ups will not like an actor for long. In a few years, big shots like Ke Ying will be able to easily control Chi Ye.
The same applies to the other bigwigs who committed crimes against Ikeno.

Others in the industry are aware of Ikeno's current situation. Once they see that his company can no longer produce the miracles it once did without him, even big-name artists will not choose them.

In short, this is a "battle" that must be fought, and a battle where both sides want to destroy each other.

—Chi Ye had already casually killed Zhang Qing's mistress, Wen Tiaotiao.

Next, he needs to figure out how to deal with Xiao Zhan, who secretly started marketing last year while he wasn't paying attention, and who has been cherished by Tencent in recent years. More importantly, he needs to ensure the success of this three-way cooperation, so as to thoroughly establish the company's reputation and lay a solid foundation for its future development.

What number did they book?

Osaka, Japan, backstage at a concert.

After finishing today's rehearsal, Ikeno learned about the lively situation in the country.

"Number 21, just like us."

Coco poured Chi Ye a glass of warm water and tentatively asked, "Should we cooperate with them and ride their coattails?"

"Why not ride the coattails? Let Deng Ziman and Tao Cheng elevate their status. Tao Cheng can be elevated to the same level as Xiao Zhan, and Deng Ziman can stand on the moon in the sky, trying to steal the spotlight from the Best Actress."

"Our 'Love O2O' is aiming to be Tencent Video's biggest drama of the year, the king of dramas!"

When it comes to freeloading, he's never been afraid of anyone!
Coco: "...Okay."

She asked that question unnecessarily.

"Are you going to invite any guests from Xiaozhai Village for the concert?"

Are there any suitable candidates?

“…No.” Coco added, “We’ve selected several groups and expressed our interest, but the ones who accepted the invitation are all minor celebrities whose names we can’t even recall. If it really doesn’t work out, we can contact the Osaka authorities and ask them for help. After all, they helped us sell tickets last time, and holding a concert here would also help their cultural and tourism development.”

"Then don't do it."

Ikeno shook his head: "I wasn't planning on inviting them anyway."

"...Wouldn't this look a little awkward?"

Coco is actually a little regretful now. The haters in China aren't just randomly attacking her. Chi Ye's popularity on Xiao Ri Zi is really not as high as it is in Korea.

This is indeed true, as can be seen from the various details of organizing the concert, the coordination, the guests, and so on.

Originally, Ikeno's concert (overseas) was intended to invite some local guests, since the marketing had already been done and international superstars should receive corresponding treatment and prestige.

While their current treatment and prestige are indeed top-notch in Asia, their connections and attention to detail are still far inferior to what one might expect.

Chi Ye wasn't in a hurry, and simply said, "It's okay, let's leave it at that. Keep an eye on 'Weiwei' for now. Once this is over, then it's time for the concert."

"Okay, I understand."

……

That day, the "Love O2O" production team, which was originally in a state of confusion, seemed to be injected with chicken blood. Following the various sarcastic remarks from the official Weibo account of "The Long Night", the official Weibo account of "Love O2O" also started to act up and "respond".

17 number.

The official Weibo account of "Love O2O" posted: [Retweeting Chi Ye's past "achievements"] Do you understand the value of being a TV King, Movie King, or TV King?

18 number.

Even the king of dramas gets bored sometimes.

19 number.

I'm not in a hurry, but someone else is.

20 number.

[The boss called a remote meeting today, saying that the official Weibo account shouldn't keep going crazy, and we shouldn't be as hasty as our competitors. I'm not in a hurry anymore, and I hope our competitors won't be "mischievous" either.]

The official Weibo account for "Eternal Moonlight" posted: "???"

Tencent Video, Yue Na, Zhang Qing, and CEO Liu: "???"

Damn it, it really is true that like boss, like employee.
Is this so salty it's not even salty anymore?
The onlookers, marketing accounts, and even many celebrities secretly observing were ecstatic, practically shouting, "Go all out! There's still a chance of survival at this intensity! Keep going! Increase the pressure!"

"hahaha, this is the first time I've seen such a down-to-earth official Weibo account. I've followed it."

"Hilarious! Puns will get you fined, be careful, or the goose might get angry and drag you down with it."

"How dare you! You question the prestige of our Goose Drama King?"

"Hurry up and air it! How long has it been since the Chinese entertainment industry has had a drama that directly confronts the competition like this? Other companies should really learn from this; this is the kind of marketing we like!"

"At the same time, within the same time period, on the same day, wow, whoever loses will absolutely never be able to hold their head up high again."

"I don't agree with that. Why should Ikeno, with so many hit dramas and representative works, need to prove herself? Isn't Tencent the platform that should be proving itself?"

"Rebel against the Heavenly Gang!"

"..."

Chaos has erupted; the Chinese entertainment industry has been in a state of "high intensity" these past few days.

What is a high-intensity state?
Official Weibo accounts are engaged in intense online battles, fans are exchanging information privately, and celebrities are watching the drama unfold...

Finally, September 21st arrived.

"Love O2O" will be available online at 12:00 PM and on television at 7:40 PM. It's essential for the show to air earlier because video websites have evolved to this point in recent years. Continuing with late-night primetime slots won't be popular; people prefer watching short videos or anime at those times.

Mango TV must also give it prime time; it can't lose the treatment that traditional TV stations deserve.

"The Long Moon" was also not performed – with both official Weibo accounts being so sarcastic, it would seem a bit pretentious to perform it again.

Tencent Video's official Weibo account has subtly criticized "Love O2O" and kiwifruit several times, suggesting that the big players are fighting each other and the small players are fighting each other – each doing their own thing.

They also chose to premiere the show on Tencent Video at noon and then broadcast it on TV during prime time in the evening—the TV broadcast platform being Blueberry Channel, which is second only to Hunan TV.

Blueberry TV had suffered several defeats in the battle to "win over" Ikeno, and this time it can be said that it has completely taken sides.

Thus, with soldiers facing soldiers and generals facing generals, the atmosphere in the entertainment industry on this day was completely hyped up.

……

Ten o'clock in the morning.

Inside an office building in the capital city.

The post-production editing for the TV series "Lurking" took place here.

Wang Ying is an editor, not a master, but someone who entered the industry by apprenticeship. However, her start after graduation can be described as a meteoric rise, with her first project being the transformation work of Chi Ye, one of the most popular artists in the Chinese entertainment industry.

Currently, filming for "Lurking" has been completed for some time. Because the plot is concise, the number of episodes is small, and there is no need for special effects, the post-production work is progressing smoothly.

With just a few more parts remaining, it will be completely finished.

Today happened to be a "rest day," and another colleague took her place, giving Wang Ying a chance to rest, but she didn't take the day off.

She yawned as she walked out of the office building, then bought a Luckin Coffee on the first floor, ate a Yoshinoya beef bowl, and then took a taxi back to her rented apartment.

"I hope it's not too late... I should still be able to make it..."

"What the hell?"

Two voices rang out almost simultaneously, and then…

"I want one."

Wang Ying said resentfully, "Then blanch it in mud!"

"?"

My roommate, shuffling in slippers and wearing a fluffy nightgown, realized there was a misunderstanding and didn't dare argue. She quickly pulled Wang Ying aside and said, "Don't think about the poaching for now. It's almost midnight, it's about to start, come and see!"

Wang Ying glanced at her best friend's rather muscular chest muscles, and without bothering to flirt with her, she kicked off her slippers and went straight to the master bedroom: "I told my supervisor a long time ago that I'm a fan of Ye Di and asked if I could come back earlier today, but he just wouldn't believe me. That greasy guy, no wonder he's thirty-five and still not married!"

"Ikeno is definitely not in this drama, and they weren't lying."

My best friend muttered something to herself.

"What are you babbling about?!"

Wang Ying was furious.

"...I have to say, you're such a fan. Look at you, you're almost giving up your job just to boost some numbers."

"I joined this group because of Yedi, but unfortunately... I didn't get to meet him. I could only watch his footage every day. Sigh."

Wang Ying sighed and didn't continue talking about it. Instead, she turned on her computer, feeling that something was missing. She hugged her best friend tightly, felt the soft fabric, and then nodded in satisfaction: "That's it, it's complete."

"Watch out or I'll report you for cheating."

My best friend whispered something.

"Shut up, I think you've been raising a child since graduation."

"...You're the one who's like that. Don't think I don't know what you're doing looking at Ikeno's posters every night. I'm different; I don't like Ikeno's type..."

As the two were playfully bickering, the OST for "Love O2O" appeared on the computer screen—at midnight, "Love O2O" officially launched.

There will always be people in this world busily searching for treasure.

"But they missed the fleeting glory of the world and the myriad aspects of human life."

On the long bridge in the ancient city

"People like the sea, cars like a river"

Your smile is like a ray of light.

Suddenly, the light illuminated my path.

"..."

Chi Ye's magnetic voice echoed as Wang Ying and her best friend listened quietly, accompanied by various sweet scenes of handsome men and beautiful women. Although they hadn't seen the plot yet, but...

"This song is quite nice. Ikeno is really talented."

My best friend nodded in agreement: "But he's still not as good as my brother."

Her brother, of course, is Xiao Zhan, who is even more exaggerated than Peng Chen, also known as Brother Zhanzhan.

However, she wasn't a die-hard fan, otherwise she wouldn't have gotten along so well with Wang Ying.

Seeing that Wang Ying was already engrossed in watching the drama, she also opened Tencent Video, SVIP Super Member, and the homepage recommendation was the large-scale legendary ancient romance drama "The Long Moon" starring Xiao Zhan and actress Wang Meng.

My best friend doesn't understand why it's called a large-scale legendary ancient costume drama. Ancient costume drama is ancient costume drama, and legend is legend. How can these two elements be combined?

But since the production team is promoting it this way, there must be a reason for it.

Thinking this way, her best friend put on her headphones, not wanting to bother Wang Ying, but also not wanting Wang Ying to bother her.

Thus, in the master bedroom, two delicate bodies lay intertwined, each looking at their own things.

I don't know how much time had passed, but it must have been about forty-five minutes, just as an episode of the TV series ended.

My best friend felt a little dizzy.

"The Everlasting Moon" tells an extremely "complex" story.

The male protagonist has a split personality. By day, he is a cold, ruthless, and powerful regent with stunning looks. By night, he is a mysterious imperial advisor wearing a silver mask. At the beginning of the story, he accidentally kills his beloved white moonlight (the female protagonist).

Furthermore, the male protagonist is afflicted with a strange poison that causes him to transform into a werewolf on the fifteenth of each month, making him extremely vulnerable and requiring the female protagonist's blood to save his life.

The female lead is an ordinary-looking palace maid, but her true identity is a princess of a fallen dynasty. She is the one whose entire family was wiped out by the male lead…

Then there's the second male lead, the crown prince of an enemy country; the second female lead, a princess; the third female lead, the female lead's sidekick; and the third male lead, the male lead's sidekick...

In this very first episode, there were a whopping ten "protagonists," all vying for attention and each one practically wanting to press their face right up to the camera and tie it to the screen.

Her best friend was a little confused. As she listened to the ending theme song sung by Hua Yichen, she turned to look at Wang Ying and found that the other woman was eagerly clicking on the next episode.
