This celebrity is absolutely wicked.

Chapter 278 Tonight belongs to the beginning, and to Lu Ran!

The drama "The Beginning" has only 15 episodes. Six episodes were released on the first day of the premiere, four more were released a few days later, and the last five episodes were released all at once on the 25th.

This is the update plan that Lu Ran and Dong Sun finalized after their video conference.

However, this viewing time is only available to members.

For non-members, one episode is released daily.

Updates started on the evening of the 17th and continued until December 31st.

As Lu Ran said at the fan meeting, he would release a web series starring him before the end of the year, which can be considered as successfully fulfilling his promise to his fans.

In the Dongsun video, the "Beginning" page is officially refreshed at 8 o'clock.

The first episode can be watched directly, while the following five episodes are available to members only.

As a group of Lu Ran and Ning Sirou's fans rushed into the first episode's playback page, Jiang Yixuan and An Lingling's fans also rushed in.

"Everyone, remember this: our goal is to give bad reviews, low scores, and negative comments to discourage viewers from subscribing to Dongsun Video!"

"Who would subscribe to Dongsun Video? Xuanxuan's dramas are all available on Juzi Video."

"You can watch the first episode without a membership, but you have to watch ads. Just bear with it for Lingling's sake."

These fans are ready to go all out in the comments section.

Many viewers now read the bullet comments when watching videos.

If the comments section is full of people saying that the show is not good, it will more or less affect the audience's judgment of the show.

At this moment, Zhang Shanshan, a senior high school student, was among this huge army of negative reviews.

She is a fan of Jiang Yixuan. Her room is filled with all sorts of things related to Jiang Yixuan, including framed photos, small standees, and countless posters on the walls.

These things cost her a lot of money.

In order to join Jiang Yixuan's fan group, she also had to generate data for Jiang Yixuan on Weibo. Only when the data reached the required level could she be admitted to the fan group.

And that's how they joined the new fan group.

If you want to join a real official fan group, you need to do more data. At the very least, you need to post at least 20 Weibo posts related to your idol every month, and your super topic level also needs to be higher than level nine.

Besides these conditions, there are other miscellaneous conditions.

There will be dedicated personnel to review Weibo profiles, and only those that meet the requirements will be allowed into the official fan group.

According to the original rules, it will take some time before you can join the official fan group.

However, due to the premiere of Lu Ran's "The Beginning", new rules were introduced in the official fan group.

All you need to do is give Lu Ran negative reviews and low scores on Dongsun Video, and then post negative comments about "The Beginning" on Weibo, and you can join the official fan group.

Zhang Shanshan is going to do this tonight.

"We must go all out tonight. Once we've finished processing the data, we can join the official group. There's a lucky draw in the group where you can win Jiang Yixuan merchandise and even have a chance to attend Jiang Yixuan's offline meet-and-greet."

Zhang Shanshan was already imagining a bright future in her mind.

She took her phone and clicked on the first episode of "The Beginning".

After the commercials ended, the first episode officially began.

Zhang Shanshan didn't rush to send comments.

You can't just criticize a show indiscriminately; at the very least, your comments should be somewhat related to the plot.

"Jiang Yixuan, I didn't watch Lu Ran's dramas on purpose, I did it all for you."

Zhang Shanshan thought to herself.

The story begins with a bus traveling on the road.

A phone call between Li Shiqing and the police broke through the background.

In this brief phone call, the audience is told that the protagonist's name is Li Shiqing, and there is a clue that there is a bomb in the car.

There are also food delivery drivers rushing to deliver meals, and middle-aged people driving with their children.

And the passengers coming and going on the road.

If it weren't for Li Shiqing's phone call, the whole scene would have been very heartwarming.

"Oh ho, a suspense drama. There's a bomb in the car. It seems like this drama is all about finding clues, finding the killer, and finally preventing the bomb from exploding."

Zhang Shanshan watched and commented on it in her mind.

The next second, just as the bus entered the intersection, it was engulfed in flames from the inside out with a loud bang.

The car exploded!

Zhang Shanshan was stunned for a moment.

It exploded?

Then the female lead would die.
Where is the male lead?
This plot doesn't make sense, does it?

At this point, the text of the first episode appeared on the screen, and below the text was a horizontal Arabic numeral eight.

This is the shape of a Möbius strip.

At the same time, the viewers of the show shared the same thoughts as Zhang Shanshan.

Does this mean the story starts with the female lead being sacrificed, and the male lead solves the case later, while the female lead only lives in the male lead's memories?

However, when the scene shifts, everything returns to the bus.

Li Shiqing was suddenly awakened from her sleep, her expression panicked.

"I know, it's a flashback, it must be a flashback."

Zhang Shanshan made a judgment using her limited knowledge of Chinese language.

When Xiao Heyun, played by Lu Ran, appeared, Zhang Shanshan's expression changed immediately.

"This guy is so handsome. He really has a refined and cultured look when he wears glasses. No, no, I like Jiang Yixuan. How can I think Lu Ran is handsome? I can't think like this."

Zhang Shanshan kept calming her emotions.

But she couldn't control herself at all.

I just can't help but want to look at that face.

It's worth noting that Lu Ran has a skill for managing dynamic micro-expressions.

What does it mean to be handsome from every angle!
Even when you need to make exaggerated facial expressions, you can still easily take screenshots without ever getting an ugly picture.

The plot continues.

Seeing that Li Shiqing's expression was not right, Xiao Heyun wanted to get her some tissues, but accidentally touched her chest.

"I'm sorry, I... I just saw you were all sweaty and thought you might want to wipe it. I didn't mean to, I just wanted to get this paper. The USB drive was already plugged in, and when I pulled it out, it slipped."

Xiao Heyun was still explaining.

After a brief exchange, Li Shiqing grabbed his wrist.

"Pervert! Someone's being indecent! What are you doing with his hands!"

While shouting, Li Shiqing also placed Xiao Heyun's hand towards her chest.

Xiao Heyun quickly broke free.

Seeing this, not only Jiang Yixuan's fans, but even Lu Ran and Ning Sirou's fans were a little confused.

"What kind of garbage plot is this? Something's not right."

"Why did the female lead frame the male lead for no reason? We men are so unlucky!"

"The plot development is very poor."

Upon seeing this, Jiang Yixuan and An Lingling's fans immediately began writing furiously on their keyboards.

"So this is all Lu Ran is capable of? This kind of plot is just disgusting to the audience."

"The female lead is so unlikable, and the plot is rubbish!" "There's really no need to read any further after this point."

The passengers on the bus were filled with righteous indignation.

Li Shiqing told the driver to quickly drive the car into the police station.

Xiao Heyun wasn't intimidated and went without hesitation.

At this point, a suspenseful question has been planted.

There is a police station on the other side of the bridge, but Li Shiqing said that she could not cross the bridge.

After an argument, the driver pulled the car over to the side of the road.

Li Shiqing got off the bus and wanted the other passengers to get off with her to testify, but no one was willing to go. In the end, she only managed to pull Xiao Heyun off the bus.

Throughout the entire process, Li Shiqing's behavior was highly abnormal.

After getting out of the car, Li Shiqing told Xiao Heyun that she knew he wasn't a pervert, and then the two parted ways.

Xiao Heyun hailed a taxi and left.

"Something's not right. This is foreshadowing."

"Is this the scene before the bus explosion? Didn't the bus explode before?"

"This woman is really a bit crazy. Could all of this be just her imagination?"

Just as the audience was speculating, a loud bang was heard.

The bus that drove away earlier exploded!

In her panic, Li Shiqing was knocked to the ground by a motorcycle.

Upon seeing this, Zhang Shanshan was stunned again.

"It exploded! How could it explode again? Can a bus explode twice?"

It's obvious there's something wrong with the plot.

The female lead seems to have the ability to foresee the future.

Afterwards, fire trucks and hospitals arrived to provide assistance.

Xiao Heyun, whose body was burned to a crisp, was taken to the hospital, as was Li Shiqing.

The horrific scene caused by the bus accident was all witnessed by Li Shiqing.

The police quickly uncovered the initial findings.

Li Shiqing and Xiao Heyun, who got off the bus temporarily, were listed as suspicious persons.

At this time, Li Shiqing was knocked to the ground by the motorcycle and suffered a mild concussion.

When questioned by the police, her entire memory was very confused.

This confusion caused her immense pain.

Her memories don't match what actually happened.

One question after another arose in the minds of the audience.

Zhang Shanshan didn't even have time to send comments.

She hasn't posted a single comment since she started watching the first episode.

I was completely immersed in the story.

"What the hell is going on!"

Zhang Shanshan couldn't wait to know the truth.

Finally, Officer Zhang arrived.

With Officer Zhang's guidance and reassurance, Li Shiqing finally remembered the truth of the matter.

Officer Zhang said gently, "Young lady, I've been a criminal investigator for over twenty years and I've seen all sorts of things. This matter may be a bit complicated for you, and I can see that you're feeling helpless, but you must trust the police and not have any reservations."

Li Shiqing: "I encountered a dream within a dream."

Officer Zhang was stunned.

The audience burst out laughing when they saw this part.

"The police have never seen anything like this before!"

Subsequently, Li Shiqing's narration revealed the core concept of the loop in the beginning to all the viewers.

This explosion marks the sixth time Li Shiqing has experienced this cycle.

She would return to the bus after each explosion that killed her.

From initial panic to eventually trying to save themselves, the result each time was the same: the bus exploded.

The audience gradually figured out the situation by following Li Shiqing and Officer Zhang's analysis.

After Li Shiqing finished explaining everything, Officer Zhang asked, "Did you have these symptoms before, or did they just appear today?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Shanshan burst into laughter.

"Oh no, I thought the police believed it! Turns out he didn't!"

Whether Officer Zhang believes it or not, the audience already does.

All of Li Shiqing's previous unusual behavior now has an explanation.

"Li Shiqing struggled six times by herself, so pitiful."

"I can't imagine how nervous she was at the time."

"A person would really panic in this situation."

Amid the discussion, Xiao Heyun, whose body was charred beyond recognition, died.

Just as the audience was surprised that the male lead died at the beginning, the scene changed.

Xiao Heyun woke up on the bus.

The male lead, Xiao Heyun, has joined the loop!

Just as Zhang Shanshan was engrossed in watching, her phone screen went black, and the first episode ended.

A message appears on the page.

"Subscribe to watch the next episode."

Zhang Shanshan feels itchy all over her body.

She's already absorbed it all, and you're saying she wants to become a member now?

If you become a member, you can watch five more episodes at once; otherwise, you'll have to wait another five days to watch them all.

Zhang Shanshan was caught in a dilemma.

What's the difference between getting a membership for Lu Ran and spending money on another man after having a husband?

This is an act of cheating on Jiang Yixuan!

"I'm sorry, Jiang Yixuan. I only became a member so that I could better criticize Lu Ran. I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry."

As Zhang Shanshan spoke, she activated a membership for Dongsun Video.

When the interface showed that membership was activated, Zhang Shanshan quickly pressed down the standee of Jiang Yixuan's photo on the desk so that it faced the desktop.

"Jiang Yixuan, stop looking. I'm sorry, I'm not clean anymore."

Zhang Shanshan said this with a sense of guilt, and then directly clicked on the second episode of "The Beginning".

Tonight, she belongs to the beginning, she belongs to Lu Ran!
