Minglong Youth: Shared House with Cheng Yushan and Bian Xiaoxiao

Chapter 197: How can something so bad be popular?

At the beginning, there were not many positive comments, and even if there were, they would quickly be drowned out by other comments and would not make much of a splash.

However, as more people gradually finished watching the 60 episodes of Dragon King's Son-in-law, the positive comments about the show also increased at a visible rate.

However, it was already late at night and not many people noticed this change.

"Hey, even though I was prepared to be scolded, I didn't expect to be scolded so badly!"

Qingbei University, in a male dormitory.

Even though the lights in the dormitory had been turned off for a long time, Guan Yunpeng tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep.

Although he had a bad feeling when filming the drama, to be honest, as he got deeper into the role, he actually found Zhou Chen's script quite enjoyable.

But now that the short play is online, every word in the comments below is hurting his heart.

Yes, many people not only attacked the plot, but even started attacking his appearance.

Is my acting career over before it even began?

Guan Yunpeng sighed and planned to take one more look at Douyin before going to bed. He still had a lot of classes to attend tomorrow!

Yes, skits are just a hobby. I’m just a college student and studying is my main priority!

"Hmm? What's going on?"

However, when Guan Yunpeng opened his Douyin account, he found that his account suddenly had a lot of red reminders.

You know, Guan Yunpeng is just an ordinary student who usually posts his daily life on Douyin.

He is not very handsome, and he is not very outgoing. His Douyin fan account originally had only 50 fans. But now, it has suddenly increased to more than 3,000!

Moreover, it is still growing wildly.

Could it be that someone bought followers for himself and recharged the wrong account?

But Guan Yunpeng discovered that these were not zombie fans, but real fans!

Because, under his own promotional video, the number of comments has grown to tens of thousands!

"I am dying of laughter. So you are the actor who plays Su Chen. Smile for me!"

“I’m here to collect emoticons, hahahaha!”

"Come, come, the crooked-mouthed dragon king has arrived! All the outsiders, please leave immediately!"

However, many people who have finished watching the drama still feel like they have not watched enough. When they are bored late at night, they start looking for topics that interest them on the Internet.

Then, they came across Guan Yunpeng.

What’s even more interesting is that all of Guan Yunpeng’s actions in the short drama have been edited into emoticons.

Some are grinning with crooked mouths, some are rolling their eyes, and some are shaking their hair. In short, all kinds of weird actions are edited into emoticons, which are particularly interesting.

If it were coupled with the outrageous and exaggerated lines in the skit, the style would be even more hilarious.

Guan Yunpeng looked at these emoticons and didn't know whether to laugh or cry for a moment.

Then, he inadvertently refreshed his account and suddenly found that the number of followers of the account had increased from more than 3,000 to more than 10,000, and was still growing wildly.

"Good fellow, so, in this situation, am I considered popular?"

Looking at his exploding number of fans, Guan Yunpeng was a little confused for a moment.

He felt uncomfortable when he was scolded, and now with so many fans suddenly pouring in, Guan Yunpeng also felt uncomfortable all over.

So, Guan Yunpeng simply stopped sleeping and started to constantly refresh his Douyin.

"Fifteen thousand."

"Seventeen thousand!"

"Twenty-three thousand!"

"Thirty thousand!"

When the sky was slightly bright, Guan Yunpeng's Douyin account had grown to 30,000 followers!

at the same time.

Wang Yidi in the girls' dormitory also got up and prepared to wash her face.

Wang Yidi didn't have high hopes for this new drama, she just wanted to have fun and satisfy her acting addiction, so she didn't take the comments on the Internet seriously.

But for some reason, she couldn't help but open TikTok to see what the online reviews were like.

After all, no matter what, this is my debut work.

Then, the same thing happened to Wang Yidi as happened to Guan Yunpeng.

When she woke up, her Douyin account had skyrocketed from 1,000 followers to 50,000 followers!

There are countless comments under the video works.

Open any one of them, and you will see emoticons about her and Guan Yunpeng, as well as various exaggerated lines.

Wang Yidi, "???"

Where is the bad drama you were promised?

How come there are so many fans overnight, and it seems that none of them are anti-fans.

What's going on?

After opening the WeChat group, she found that almost all the characters who had participated in the short drama had gained fans to varying degrees. However, she and Guan Yunpeng gained the most fans because they were the leading actors.

At this time, the WeChat groups were chatting extremely lively.

Yesterday the group was quiet, no one spoke, but now, everyone is talking and sharing the good news.

"Strange, there are so many good comments today!"

"Haha, someone actually likes me, it wasn't in vain!"

"@关云鹏@王一迪, you two are now famous. Congratulations!"

The list goes on and on.

Everyone in the skit club was stunned.

There was a lot of cursing yesterday, how come everything changed overnight?

They were not the only ones who were confused at this moment.

In a villa in Beijing, actress Qin Yumo got up early. Having just finished exercising, she was ready to turn on her phone and continue watching "Dragon King's Son-in-law".

In recent years, she has not participated in any high-quality film and television dramas, but she has attracted huge traffic by creating various topics.

Now that a hot topic has finally emerged, Qin Yumo will naturally make good use of it.

So she opened TikTok to see how the situation was developing.

But when she opened the topic list and hot search list, she was completely dumbfounded.

#The Dragon King's Son-in-Law is obviously bad but looks good#

#Watching short dramas is too expensive, how much did you guys spend#

#Crooked Mouth Dragon King#

#Guan Yunpeng and Wang Yidi are a perfect couple! #

#Are there any more short dramas like Dragon King's Son-in-law? #

Qin Yumo, "???"

Oh my god, what’s going on?

Weren’t we all criticizing the Dragon King’s Son-in-law yesterday?

How come the topic took a 180-degree turn overnight, and everyone seemed to think that the skit was quite good?

Qin Yumo casually clicked on an emoticon package, and looking at the male protagonist's crooked and sneering expression, he was also confused for a moment.

She suddenly realized that she was a little behind the times.

"Water army, this must be the water army hired by the company behind Zhou Chen!"

After thinking about it, Qin Yumo just couldn't figure it out, so he put the blame on the internet water army, thinking that this was a malicious operation just to attract people to consume.

Chapter 198 Data Falsification? Aikuxun is online

"Some people think that they can manipulate data and get good reviews just because they have a lot of fans? This is a serious damage to the film and television industry. Good is good, bad is bad. You can't hide it by hiring online trolls. It's just deceiving yourself. I would like to advise fans to consume rationally and not blindly support their idols. Don't let bad money drive out good money!"

Qin Yumo thought for a moment and then posted this comment on his media account.

Yesterday, Qin Yumo severely criticized "The Dragon King's Son-in-law", and today many people are waiting for her to continue commenting, so as soon as this update came out, it attracted a lot of fans' agreement.

"That's right, there are people who actually watch such a bad movie. The marketing accounts nowadays are really too reckless!"

"It's so funny. It's obviously ugly, but they still try to lift it. Aren't they treating the audience as fools?"

"There are still people paying for this kind of stupid drama? Family, I can't stop laughing!"

Obviously, most people still don't think highly of this short drama, and some even mock it.

Regarding this matter, many big names in the film and television industry, as well as people in the screenwriting industry, have come out to accuse Zhou Chen of inflating data.

In response to this, Zhou Chen was too lazy to reply one by one, and directly took a screenshot of the background of the mini program and posted it on his Douyin account.

“Congratulations to “Dragon King’s Son-in-law” for reaching a 24-hour recharge amount of over 10 million! Thank you for your support, we will continue to work hard!”

When faced with doubts, the best way is to confront them with absolute hard power.

As expected, as Zhou Chen exposed this screenshot, it immediately caused a huge uproar on the Internet.

"Is this picture photoshopped? How is it possible that someone spent 10 million in 24 hours?"

"Isn't this too scary? Even those paid TV series may not be this popular!"

"Don't people say it's terrible? Who is paying for it?"

Before filming the short play, Zhou Chen was a genius best-selling novelist and creator of many popular songs, with an almost perfect personality. However, when filming the short play this time, the reviews were almost all negative, and many people were waiting to see him make a fool of himself.

But no one expected that even though the skit received all negative reviews, the recharge amount reached a turnover of 10 million in just 24 hours!

Oh my god, how is this done?

The big directors, star actors, and even screenwriters in the film and television industry were all dumbfounded.

Especially Qin Yumo, she just said that Zhou Chen was using fans to make money and that bad money was driving out good money. But even if he really had the support of fans, it would be impossible to recharge over 10 million in 24 hours!

This...which link went wrong?

Some people were questioning, some were cursing, but some had already found ways to contact Zhou Chen and started discussing cooperation.

"Teacher Zhou Chen, we at Aikuxun want to buy the copyright of this short play. I wonder how much you plan to sell it for? We can discuss it!"

iKuXun is the video website with the largest traffic in China, and the number of its members alone is a huge number every year.

When the person in charge of iKuxun saw Zhou Chen's short drama, he tried to cooperate with Zhou Chen.

He is a manager who has been working in video websites for many years and is quite knowledgeable about film and television dramas. To be honest, it is becoming increasingly difficult and costly to produce a good drama these days. If a video website does not have good film and television resources, it will mean a decline in traffic and a decline in performance.

Although the shooting quality of the drama "Dragon King's Son-in-law" cannot be compared with that of a regular drama, it has a large amount of traffic, which is a great publicity opportunity for Aikuxun.

"I can sell it to you."

Zhou Chen thought for a moment and replied,

"However, I would like to cooperate with you in the form of profit sharing. I will take 60% and you will take 30%. If this cooperation is successful, I will also cooperate with you in my subsequent short plays."

There is strength in numbers, and the upper limit of relying solely on your own mini-program is very limited.

KeaiKuXun is the largest video website in the country. If he could put the short drama on it, it would mean an additional promotional platform for Zhou Chen. Why would he refuse?

"No problem, that's it!"

Seeing Zhou Chen propose a profit-sharing cooperation, the management of iKuxun thought about it for a moment and nodded in agreement.

If they purchase the copyright separately, it will be a considerable amount of money. But if they share the profits, they basically don't need to pay any costs. For them, this is a good thing.

So, that afternoon, Zhou Chen and Aikuxun signed an electronic contract.

As soon as the contract was signed, the official account of iKuxun announced the launch of "Dragon King's Son-in-law".
