I'm really good at this.

Chapter 43 Water Army Director

"A certain director acted like a diva online, behaving like a princess and ordering Wang Chen around to serve him tea and water; Wang Chen: I dare not speak out against it."

As soon as Su Xiaoyue turned on her phone, the system pushed this news to her.

She clicked in, glanced at it, and exited in less than a second.

Then she clicked on a forum she frequented, and the top recommendations on the forum were similar content.

What kind of TV series is "Yun Luo Hong Chen"? Many people are familiar with director Liu Yishou, but what is the connection between "Yun Luo Hong Chen" and director Liu Yishou? Let's find out together.

The reason why "Yun Luo Hong Chen" is associated with director Liu Yishou is because this TV series was used for promotional purposes to compare with Liu Yishou's new drama "Blood-Red Youth".

You might be surprised that this little-known TV series is being compared to director Liu Yishou's "Blood-Stained Youth," but that's the truth, and I was quite surprised myself.

That's all for "Clouds Fall into the Mortal World." What are your thoughts? Feel free to share them in the comments section!

Su Xiaoyue's face darkened, and she immediately left the forum and deleted the app.

"Xiaoyue, Xiaoyue~ Can I borrow your video streaming membership?"

Su Xiaoyue looked up, staring at her best friend who was sitting opposite her, holding her phone and smiling ingratiatingly: "Can't you just top up your own account? Honestly."

Even so, she is still a girl with a sharp tongue but a soft heart: "Send me the QR code and I'll scan it."

"Thank you so much~~" The short-haired girl across from me took a sip of her Frappuccino on the table, then opened the login page for me to scan the code. "These video websites these days are just awful. You need a VIP membership to watch a TV series, and if you don't have a VIP membership, not only is the picture quality low, but you also have to watch three minutes of GG! Sometimes I want to watch a one-minute video, but it makes me watch two or three minutes of GG, which is really annoying."

Scan to log in – it's as smooth as silk.

Short-haired JK Gu Yan clicked on the variety show she had just been watching, and immediately demonstrated what "face-changing" means: "This is hilarious! How come even members get banned now?!"

Su Xiaoyue leaned over to take a look, and sure enough, what was playing now was a one-minute member-only video.

[Dynastic Struggle! War Between Heaven and Man! Love and Hatred Across Two Lifetimes! The love-hate entanglement between the Heavenly Emperor and the Earthly Empress spanning two lifetimes! Two episodes air every Friday at 9 PM! All this and more in "Clouds Fall into the Mortal World"! Members can also enjoy early access! Watch all four episodes at once!]

JK Su Xiaoyue with her ponytail darkened her face and muttered, "Why is it another guy from 'Cloud Falls into the Mortal World'..."

Gu Yan sat down next to her and put her arm around her waist, laughing, "You saw it too? I've seen this show's promotions everywhere. It's Friday today, isn't it? Want to come over to my place tonight and watch it together?"

"Forget it, forget it." Su Xiaoyue swung her ponytail back and forth. "I've never heard of the director, and it's not adapted from any novel or anime. I've never even heard of the male and female leads, and there aren't any familiar veteran actors in the supporting roles. I guess it's just another mass-produced product made with a lot of money."

"But I can come to your place tonight, since my parents are away on a business trip." Su Xiaoyue winked. "But I want hot pot for dinner tonight, so it's your treat. Also, Southeast TV is premiering 'Bloody Youth' tonight, so you have to watch it with me."

"Alright, alright, I'll watch it with you." Gu Yan pouted. "I really don't know where you learned this hobby of watching spy dramas from. You even like those kinds of TV series that middle-aged people watch."

"I just like it..."

Amidst laughter and cheerful chatter, the two high school girls walked away hand in hand.

At the next table, Zhang Hong, wearing a baseball cap, followed their retreating figures into the distance.

"It's so good to be young..."

"What, your hobby is high school girls? Your neck is about to break. Do you want me to introduce you to an old Chinese medicine doctor who can set bones?"

Zhang Hong turned around and saw a twenty-three-year-old young lady with long, straight black hair and black stockings trembling uncontrollably.

"No, I was just thinking about something." Zhang Hong's expression was very serious. "When two girls hold hands, everyone just thinks they're good friends. But why is it that when two men hold hands, everyone thinks they're gay? I feel like that's sexism."

Miss Lin glanced at him sideways: "So, do you hold hands with men?"

"I'm not gay!"

Lin Muqing didn't say anything, but just looked at him with disdain.

Lin Chuan, sitting next to Lin Muqing, laughed: "Brother Hong, this isn't the time to discuss these things. Do you know what people online are saying about our crew right now?"

Zhang Hong became interested: "How so?"

Lin Chuan raised his chin: "Old Wang, you tell us."

Wang Ye, sitting next to Zhang Hong, took a sip of his latte and said with a wry smile, "The internet is flooded with promotions for our show right now. The worst part is that you can tell at a glance that they're paid trolls and marketing accounts. Many of them are even posting the same message at the same time, and they don't even bother to delete the '(posted around 8:20)' part..."

Brother Hong, now everyone online is saying you're a paid PR director.

Zhang Hong laughed: "That's great! A director of online troll campaigns? From now on, can I call myself Ah Shui?"

In his previous life, he had an e-sports player who was called Ah Shui.

The origin of this nickname is that this guy was highly anticipated even before he played any matches, and outsiders called him a paid AD carry. Later, he did play well and was also good-looking, so "Ah Shui" became the nickname used by his fans.

Zhang Hong wondered if he should also Photoshop a picture and title it "Tonight I am the chosen one, and the only one."

"By the way, are the people in the village still in a good mood?" Zhang Hong asked, addressing his concerns. "They've also suffered because of this. They weren't even involved in 'Clouds Falling into the Mortal World,' but now all their dark histories have been dug up. But I really didn't expect that the dark history we had about A-Yun wasn't shocking enough. Before she became a wedding bridal makeup artist, she was actually a mortician at a funeral home."

Wang Ye recalled how the people in the two-story building at the base collapsed to the ground, looking like they had suffered a kind of social death, after hearing the news.

He forced a smile and said dryly, "It should... be nothing serious."

"That's good, actually it's not a big problem," Zhang Hong said with a smile. "I mainly wanted to know if they have any new embarrassing secrets. Otherwise, what if their past is dug up and they want to split up and break up?"

This is a partner that God has bestowed upon me, Zhang, because of my hard work!

We can't let them fly with their butts sticking out!

Wang Ye and Lin Chuan were both speechless. Hong Ge, you're all black inside!

"Ahem, just kidding, you'll lose if you take it seriously." Seeing their reactions, Zhang Hong coughed twice and changed the subject. "Isn't it great now? I'm the director of the online marketing team, and they're members of the black history group. We can work together to make the knock-off bigger and stronger. Anyway, the TV series will slap those haters in the face after it airs."

Lin Chuan asked doubtfully, "Brother Hong, are you really that confident? Aren't you worried the film will flop?"

Zhang Hong flashed a bright, almost dazzlingly handsome smile: "Because I believe in you all. I believe in you, I believe in Director Sun's crew, and I also believe in my own talent, so why are you worried?"

Lin Chuan fell silent; he sensed something was amiss.

If Brother Hong is bursting with confidence, wouldn't that mean he won't be able to complete his first task?

Surely we're not really going to plant trees in the Sahara in the future!

Wang Ye also fell silent.

He clenched his fists, lowered his head, and his eyes were slightly red.

But he felt a warm feeling in his heart, as if something was about to overflow.

Perhaps... this is what it feels like to be trusted.

Zhang Hong hummed a little tune as he finished his almost melted Frappuccino.

What does he have to care about?

The film has already grossed 30 million. Whether it receives good reviews or flops, it's none of my business.

A paid online troll director?

Anyway, you only know my name Zhang Hong, but you've never seen what I look like, and those online trolls haven't promoted themselves at all.
