Internet moguls are being held hostage by the entertainment system!

Chapter 186 of "A Slight Smile" premieres, Chen Duling gets attacked online.

For a TV series to be broadcast on a satellite TV platform, commonly known as satellite broadcasting, it generally needs to go through the following process.

First, you need to register the script and obtain a "TV Series Production License".

After filming is completed, it is necessary to pass the content review by the film and television industry and obtain the "TV Series Distribution License".

After completing these two steps, the next step is to choose a broadcasting platform. Production companies usually connect with the TV station's purchasing department, or they may have already reached a cooperation agreement with the TV station during the production stage.

The prime time slot on satellite TV is from 19:30 PM to 22:00 PM.

For a TV series to be scheduled to air in this time slot, factors such as content quality, star lineup, and production company qualifications are all indispensable.

After completing the above steps, the satellite TV station also needs to submit a "Satellite Broadcast Filing Form" to the broadcasting department to confirm the schedule and number of episodes.

If "The Song of Qin King Breaking the Enemy's Formation" wants to be broadcast on satellite TV in the future, this is basically the process.

Of course, there will be some special cases.

For example, "Love O2O" was originally scheduled to air in August, but considering that July is the summer vacation and Chen Xiu is more popular among teenagers, the broadcast date was changed.

Tomato TV moved up the premiere date of "Love O7O" to July 11, while the TV series version of "So Young," which was originally scheduled to air on that date, was postponed to later.

Jiangsu TV, which also acquired the first broadcast rights, has, after coordination, set the broadcast time for "Love O19O" for July 11th, at 7:30 PM on its Happiness Theater.

After a series of promotional activities in the early stages, which lacked the participation of the male lead, "Love O2O" finally premiered.

On the night of its premiere, it topped the Weibo hot search and topic charts, and also ranked first on Baidu's search list for TV dramas.

Online discussions about the TV series mainly focused on the male and female leads, with opinions becoming increasingly polarized.

The scene that generated the most discussion was the male lead Chen Xiu's entrance scene, where Xiao Nai was playing Go with his uncle at the Wangyu Internet Cafe.

The original Xiao Nai, played by Yang Yang, always exuded a cool and arrogant aura with his way of speaking and his every smile and frown.

If he hadn't been young, he probably would have earned the title of "Oil King" a few years earlier.

Unlike Yang Yang's style, Chen Xiu's portrayal of Xiao Nai was almost a natural performance. Even the suit and shirt she wore were brought by herself because the styles provided by the production team were too low-quality.

In the last few minutes of his first appearance in the first episode, Chen Xiuxian is playing Go in a teahouse.

The original plan for the filming was to stage a few scenes and get it over with, but as a Go enthusiast, Chen Xiu still wanted to find an actor who could play Go to act alongside her.

As a result, when his opponent was playing chess, he really did kill a large group of stones, blocked the liberties of two groups of stones, and the sweat on his forehead was also real.

The pupillary tremor and the sweat on the forehead are physiological reactions that cannot be faked.

When the opponent performs well, Xiao Nai, played by Chen Xiu, will appear even more impressive.

Subsequently, when refusing the internet cafe gift from her uncle, Chen Xiu followed her own style, using a half-joking, half-serious approach, which made the audience feel more natural and comfortable.

Stepping out of the tea room and into the internet cafe lobby, Chen Xiu glanced at Bei Weiwei, played by Chen Duling, her face first showing interest, then she smiled and turned to leave.

Viewers who watched the first episode gave his performance this evaluation.

"Although he is different from Xiao Nai in the original novel, Chen Xiu has a handsome, refined, and steady yet smooth feel to him, which is particularly charming."

"Who understands! The way Xiao Nai looked from deep thought to his eyes shining when he held the chess piece was just too cool."

"To be honest, I saw the close-up shot of the chessboard, and Chen Xiu was really playing Go. He does know how to play Go."

"Sure enough, they still need rich people to play rich people. Chen Xiu's portrayal of Xiao Nai gives me the feeling of watching a Fortune 500 elite. The domineering CEOs in other TV dramas feel like their company only has one person paying social security..."

"From now on, there is a standard template for the domineering CEO image in TV dramas. Remember to film TV dramas according to this standard in the future!"

"..."

Chen Xiu's portrayal of Xiao Nai received unanimous praise from the audience.

His cool and aloof demeanor and indifferent gaze have earned him the titles of "ascetic handsome man," "national male god," and "chosen Xiao Nai."

Especially on the night the TV series aired, Gu Man, the original author of the novel "Love O2O", also posted her approval of Chen Xiu on Weibo.

"The reason I chose Chen Xiulai to play Xiao Nai is because I think he is the real-life Xiao Nai. After watching the first two episodes today, I feel that he brought Xiao Nai to life. I look forward to the rest of the series!"

Gu Man's approval directly helped Chen Xiu gain a large number of fans of the original work.

Before the day was even over, his Weibo account had already gained 50 followers, showing a trend of becoming a top-tier celebrity, and successfully reaping the first benefits of the drama series.

For Chen Xiu, the commercial value of becoming a top star is not very meaningful.

Aside from the tasks assigned by the system, he basically doesn't act in other TV series or movies, nor does he accept variety shows or endorsements.

His investment profits have far exceeded what he earns as a celebrity, so there's really no need for him to spend time increasing his exposure.

The only benefit that top celebrities can truly value is the publicity effect they generate.

Currently, only the first two episodes of "Love O2O" have been released, but it already shows signs of becoming a hit in terms of discussion and attention. As the sequels continue to be released, the higher the attention will be, the better the promotional effect on Douyin will be.

When the series is halfway through its run, Chen Xiu's envisioned live-stream variety show-style promotion will generate another wave of traffic for Douyin.

What Chen Xiuzhen truly cares about is being able to use his own fame to promote and drive traffic to his own software, thus completely binding himself with Douyin.

As for the value of a top star beyond their own fame... Chen Xiu felt it was not worth mentioning.

As long as Douyin can develop into its complete form more quickly, whoever he wants to be a star can be a star.

Chen Xiu's portrayal of Xiao Nai garnered much praise, while Chen Duling's portrayal of Bei Weiwei ushered in the darkest moment of her life.

Regarding her reviews, while not 100% are negative, at least 70% are. The remaining 30% still like her looks and her natural campus charm. "Chen Duling is just a wooden beauty; her eyes are lifeless when she acts, like a second-generation blind girl."

"Her expressions are exaggerated, and her acting is worse than the second female lead! That actress with the spiky hair is quite pretty..."

"How can someone with such a flat figure play Bei Weiwei?"

"Did you use some underhanded means to steal the role of Bei Weiwei from Xiao Shuang?"

"..."

Chen Duling's acting skills are barely passable, and compared to Chen Xiu's brilliance, her shortcomings are magnified.

The immense popularity of "Love O2O" has rekindled the fanbase of the young actress.

They felt that Chen Duling had stolen their idol's opportunity; this popularity and glory originally belonged to the little fairy.

Then, insults, doubts, and smears against Chen Duling appeared everywhere on Weibo.

Chen Duling is someone who likes to post on Weibo, so she was now being relentlessly attacked by the fans of the "little fairy".

"You stole Xiao Shuang's role, why don't you just die?"

"You act so badly, yet you still become an actor. I think you just want to get close to Chen Xiu."

"You called her the most beautiful school belle? I don't even know how she was chosen. You didn't rig the votes, did you?"

"..."

During the first three days of the broadcast of "Love O2O", Chen Duling was subjected to a comprehensive and multi-dimensional verbal attack from her female fans.

Her management company, Lingrui Entertainment, is majority owned by her mother, Lin Hongying.

This family-run agency model can ensure Chen Duling's safety in the entertainment industry and help her get roles, but its public relations capabilities are extremely incompetent when faced with attacks from anti-fans.

For three whole days, they didn't give any effective response.

Lin Hongying's arrangement for Chen Duling was also to have her stay at home and let things cool down as much as possible.

Chen Duling felt utterly exhausted after experiencing such a nasty greeting for the first time in her life.

She was huddled in the corner of the room, not wanting to do anything. Her phone was thrown far away, for fear that if she looked at it, she would see a text message that combined all sorts of linguistic artistry.

"Ring ring! Ring ring!!"

The sudden ringing of the cell phone made Chen Duling, who was curled up in the corner with her legs drawn up to her chest, shudder.

Her immediate reaction was that another troll was calling to harass her.

However, Chen Duling quickly came to her senses. She had already set her phone to block calls from strangers, so anyone who could still call must be someone she knew.

After listening to the ringtone for a while, filled with a certain expectation, the innocent-looking college girl raised her tear-streaked face, quickly got up, went to the corner under the bed, and picked up her phone.

When Chen Duling saw "Chen Xiu calling" displayed on her phone screen, she was initially delighted, but then the phone, which had been ringing for a long time, suddenly returned to calm.

The smile froze on Chen Duling's face as she frantically unlocked her phone and dialed back.

The phone was answered after one ring.

"Hey, you must have had a tough time these past few days, right?"

Chen Xiu's simple greeting brought tears to Chen Duling's eyes, and her voice choked with emotion.

"Hmph~, it's alright, I didn't pay any attention to those comments..."

"Have you been crying?"

After a moment of silence, Chen Duling wiped away her tears with her thumb and did not answer.

After waiting for a while, Chen Xiu confirmed that Chen Duling did not want to talk about this topic, so she pretended that she had not asked and started to talk about serious matters.

"I've prepared a live-streamed variety show to promote the TV series, and my company can also help you with public relations and give you a chance to speak out. It's next Monday, would you like to come?"

"I will come."

"Okay, I'll arrange a car to pick you up then."

"Chen Xiu, I want to ask you something."

Before Chen Xiu could hang up, Chen Duling stopped him.

"What's the matter? Tell me."

"Was my portrayal of Bei Weiwei really that bad?"

"I feel that most of the negative reviews are from the fans of the 'Little Fairy' targeting you. Many casual fans are silent. As the drama continues to air, your fans will gradually increase, and positive reviews will naturally follow."

Chen Duling lowered her head and said in a hoarse voice, "Thank you."

"With fame comes slander; if you want to be a star, being criticized is a necessary process."

"Then why weren't you hacked?"

"I just don't care, I never care..."
