This director lacks vision.

Chapter 112 First, queue up

After watching the first two episodes of Dark Glory, Liu Yifei felt that she wanted more.

Not to mention in China, even abroad, there were very few TV dramas with strong female protagonists in 2010.

Moreover, a revenge drama with high intelligence is extremely rare.

This kind of drama perfectly hit Liu Yifei's sweet spot; she was extremely immersed in it and couldn't stop watching.

It's a shame that there's no advanced viewing feature now.

She picked up her computer and logged into her Weibo account.

This account was registered a few days ago in advance for the purpose of endorsing Sohu Weibo.

Zhang Liangying leaned over to take a look and said enviously, "You're so popular! I post on Weibo all the time, but I only have a little over 80 followers."

You haven't posted a single Weibo post, yet you already have over 200 million followers.

At this time, Sohu Weibo did not inflate its fan data or create a bunch of zombie fans like Sina Weibo did.

It's not easy for celebrities to gain more fans.

Liu Yifei calmly said, "You're overthinking it. I have so many fans because my account was exposed a few days ago when I competed against Gao Yuanyuan in a beauty pageant."

After saying that, Liu Yifei opened Jiang Yifeng's Weibo page.

His latest Weibo post is promoting Dark Glory.

[Tonight at 8 PM, Dark Glory will premiere on Sohu Video. Want to know who Xiao Gao Yuanyuan is? Tune in to Sohu Video to find out!]

There are already tens of thousands of comments under this Weibo post.

At first, many people criticized Jiang Yifeng for keeping things a secret and deliberately withholding the suspense.

But now, the top-ranked comment in the comments section says this.

"Xiao Gao Yuanyuan was a good choice. She is a very pretty girl and does look a bit like Gao Yuanyuan."

But after watching the show, I didn't pay any attention to her situation; I just thought Dark Glory was so good!

Please, Director Jiang, could you please release two more episodes?!

Upon seeing this comment, Liu Yifei chuckled, revealing her gums.

She found this generation of netizens very interesting; they were so eloquent and expressed everything she wanted to say.

Liu Yifei clicked the forward button and started typing.

She typed a little slowly, but it was clear she was about to retweet Jiang Yifeng's Weibo post.

Zhang Liangying was very surprised when she saw it. She asked, "Xixi, what are you doing?"

Liu Yifei said very frankly, "Of course, it's to urge for more updates."

"Dark Glory is so good, even more exciting than American dramas! Director Jiang Yifeng, please release the next episode soon! PS: If you have any suitable roles in the future, you can contact me. My salary is not expensive."

After seeing the text edited by Liu Yifei, Zhang Liangying suddenly realized what was going on.

"Sisi, you're amazing! You know Jiang Yifeng is a rising star in the entertainment industry, and you helped him promote his web series, creating a good relationship so that you can collaborate in the future!"
"Wow, you've gotten smarter since I last saw you!"

Liu Yifei was taken aback. She was simply urging for more updates and hadn't thought about anything else.

But since her best friend had praised her so much, she had no choice but to pretend and say in a deep voice, "The martial world isn't just about fighting and killing; it's about human relationships and social skills. Just learn from it!"

After making a joke, Liu Yifei checked the text again and then posted her first Weibo post.

Soon, comments appeared on the Weibo post.

"Holy crap, is even the goddess Liu Yifei watching Dark Glory?"

"Liu Baozi is quite magnanimous. She didn't hold a grudge even after losing to Gao Yuanyuan, and she even promoted Gao Yuanyuan's web series."

"May your love for Fei fly ever forward, and may your love for Fei last forever!"

"Dark Glory is really good-looking, Sisi has great taste."

"The fairy sister's evaluation of Dark Glory is so high, it even surpasses that of American TV series."

"Indeed, the trending topic on Weibo only mentioned that Dark Glory has the feel of an American TV series. Liu Yifei really dares to say it."

"Liu Ximei is American. She said that Dark Glory surpasses American TV series, which is very convincing. I definitely believe her."

"This is certification from a high-tech transgender person in the United States, and I believe it!"

……

At this time, most of the people following Liu Yifei's Weibo are either her true fans or casual fans.

After she posted on Weibo, these people gave her positive feedback.

However, many trolls also came upon hearing the news and began to hurl insults.

Nowadays, there are no bots controlling comments on Weibo; the comments are still quite genuine.

After seeing these attacking comments, Liu Yifei habitually grimaced and then closed the Weibo account.

I'd rather not see it than not see it.

Zhang Liangying also noticed this, and she said, "There are all kinds of people on the internet. Under my Weibo post, someone even sent me their QQ number and asked me what price I would pay for selling it once."

I ignored him, and he then called me an actress for pretending.

I immediately blacklisted him.

If you're unhappy about it, you can also use a blacklist to block it; it works very well.

If all else fails, send in the Green Corpse Frost to teach them a lesson.

Liu Yifei shook her head and said, "It's okay. I'm a public figure, so it's normal for people to talk about me."

I don't want to sue anyone; that would be harmful to both myself and others, and it would also drain my mental energy.

Zhang Liangying nodded, and was about to praise Liu Yifei when she heard her say, "You have something here, doesn't it hurt?"

Zhang Liangying: "..."

After thinking for a moment, Zhang Liangying still said, "Pain is a very magical thing. Spicy food is also a form of pain. Eating spicy food will cause pain."

However, many people still enjoy spicy food and are even addicted to it, unable to live without it.

Don't you eat spicy food too?

Liu Yifei's eyes lit up, as if she were deep in thought.

She turned off the lights and started having a late-night chat with Zhang Liangying's best friend...

Meanwhile, Jiang Yifeng and Gao Yuanyuan watched two episodes of Dark Glory together.

Gao Yuanyuan was pleasantly surprised; she hadn't expected the web series to turn out so well.
She was also deeply moved that Jiang Yifeng had helped her fulfill her dream of becoming a high-IQ, strong female lead. Overwhelmed with emotion, Gao Yuanyuan did everything she could to repay Jiang Yifeng, even making many promises, such as fulfilling Jiang Yifeng's dream of becoming Zhang Wuji.

When people are excited, their physical strength is easily depleted too quickly.

Exhausted, Gao Yuanyuan eventually fell into a deep sleep.

Jiang Yifeng leisurely opened Weibo, wanting to see how Dark Glory was received after its release.

He first checked the trending topics on Weibo and found that the hashtag "Dark Glory TV series" had topped the list, so he knew it was a sure thing.

In 2010, the highest praise for a domestically produced TV series was that it resembled an American TV series.

This is partly due to the United States' influence as a beacon of light and its strong cultural export, and partly because the American TV series that are popular in China are all of very high quality.

Those poorly made American TV series all rotted in the United States.

Therefore, domestic audiences have a very high opinion of American TV series.

The fact that Dark Glory is described as being like an American TV series indicates its excellent reputation.

Jiang Yifeng also felt the exhilaration of being a genius.

Even without the talent for "composition," Dark Glory could still be filmed well, but it would never have amazed everyone as it has now upon release.

For film and television dramas, the quality of the shots is really important.

After checking the trending topics, Jiang Yifeng discovered that many people had reposted his Weibo post, including Qin Lan, Xu Zheng, Wang Baoqiang, and Han Han, who were all helping to promote it.

Surprisingly, Liu Yifei was among them.

After seeing Liu Yifei's Weibo post, Jiang Yifeng sensed the buzz.

Liu Yifei is already very popular and has a wide national recognition. She was previously involved in a controversy with Gao Yuanyuan.

This is a logical selling point.

Therefore, Jiang Yifeng replied to Liu Yifei's Weibo post.

"Dark Glory will release its next episode next Friday. Good things come to those who wait. PS: Collaboration is possible, but you'll have to wait in line; there are quite a few people ahead of you."

This Weibo post immediately attracted a lot of attention and heated discussion.

Jing Tian, ​​who had just finished filming the Warring States period drama and returned to her hotel, saw this Weibo post, forwarded it, and commented.

"I'm in first place!"

This sparked a frenzy among celebrities to line up for the event.

Following Jing Tian, ​​Yang Mi quickly joined the fray.

"Director Jiang, where am I ranked? I should be at least ahead of Liu Yifei, even though my salary is lower than hers!"

Li Xiaolu reposted Yang Mi's Weibo post.

"Seventh Sister, I'd like to get a number and wait in line too! I wonder if Eldest Sister @QinLan will have any objections."

Qin Lan retweeted Jiang Yifeng's Weibo post and also included a link to a song—Sun Yanzi's Encounter.

And quoted one of the lyrics.

"I'm standing in line holding a number for love."

These Weibo posts received a large number of likes and comments.

Many female celebrities saw the buzz and started lining up to express their desire to collaborate with Jiang Yifeng.

Besides female celebrities, some male celebrities have also started posting on Weibo, expressing their willingness to line up and want to collaborate with Jiang Yifeng.

Some people are just using the meme to gain attention, some are helping Jiang Yifeng promote his web series and build good relationships, and some genuinely want to collaborate.

At this time, all the posts on Weibo were from real people.

Celebrities manage their own Weibo accounts; they don't hand them over to a team for operation.

Nayoung's first Weibo post involved tagging people everywhere, asking them to follow her.

Therefore, people tend to post on Weibo quite casually.

Suddenly, more and more celebrities lined up, and the hashtag "Queue up first" surpassed "Dark Glory TV series" to top the trending search list.

Seeing this, netizens discussed it extensively.

"Holy crap, I always thought Jiang Yifeng was just a web series director. I never imagined he was so high up. So many celebrities are eager to collaborate with him. He'd even be willing to make a web series."

"You think the 4.6 million yuan box office success of 'Lost in Thailand' was just for show? Jiang Yifeng is now the highest-grossing director of domestic films!"

"This is not our fault. It's mainly because Jiang Yifeng always happily flirts with the edge of fame and is still filming web dramas even after achieving great success, which has created a misconception among the public."

"There are differences between web series. Web series like Dark Glory are better made than most TV series. Which actor wouldn't want to act in one?"

"I can only say Jiang Yifeng is awesome; he's taken web series to a whole new level!"

"If you ask me, these male celebrities shouldn't have gotten involved. What was supposed to be a great thing for Jiang Yifeng's beauty pageant was ruined by them!"

"Haha, I think so too. Jing Tian is really awesome, she directly declared that I was number one and reserved Director Jiang's next web series."

"The Warring States invested over 1 million yuan and hired Sun Honglei and others to star in the film, all to make Jing Tian famous. How could she not be amazing?"

"No matter how awesome it is, it's still Jiang Yifeng's Avatar."

"Hehe, isn't Jiang Yifeng also Jing Tian's Avatar?"

"Pah! What an enviable pair of adulterers! No wonder Jing Tian is ranked first."

"So it's a good thing the fairy sister has to wait in line. If she were at the front, wouldn't she be in danger? Jiang Yifeng is notoriously a womanizer."

"Dangerous my foot! Gao Yuanyuan is so amazing! Her performance in Dark Glory was simply divine! Every step she took in those high heels felt like it was stepping on my heart!"

"Gao Yuanyuan has indeed transformed. I didn't expect her acting skills to be so good. It's probably because Jiang Yifeng understands her and is particularly good at filming her."

This wave of "queuing" topics has further boosted the popularity of Dark Glory.

Many people who haven't watched the show become curious after seeing related topics, and then they watch the show and get hooked.

The premiere of Dark Glory was a great success, generating explosive popularity and generating a lot of buzz.

Gao Yuanyuan became an overnight sensation as a result, with people praising her beauty and also recognizing her acting skills.

This greatly encouraged her, and she put even more effort into her subsequent filming.

In addition, three more advertisers joined Dark Glory, and the sponsorship fee doubled.

This is the risk and benefit of weekly dramas.

Ad revenue can be dynamically adjusted based on playback data.
