In Huai City, Xiangnan, Xiaoru and Xiaohui walked out of the house wearing down jackets and prepared to go online.
The day after tomorrow is New Year's Eve, and the streets are packed with people.
Small stalls selling couplets, blessing characters, and red lanterns are lined up on the street, like a long queue, which makes people seem overwhelmed.
Pedestrians passing by observed the quality of the goods in front of the stalls. Some people took one look and left, some stopped to choose their favorite goods, some were bargaining, and some were complaining.
Some children also acted as a prank, picking up a slingshot and slamming it on the ground, making a "pop" sound, which startled passers-by.
Some bad-tempered passers-by cursed a few times, and the child cried "Wow". The child's mother slapped the child's butt violently, pretending to be harsh and scolding: "I told you to shoot off the cannons! I told you to shoot off the cannons!"
The child cried more violently.
Xiaoru and Xiaohui were smiling as if they were watching a show.
Infected by the joyful atmosphere of the approaching Spring Festival, the siblings walked into the Internet cafe.
But as soon as I entered the Internet cafe, several people were shouting.
"It must be Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei!"
"I think Huang Xiaoming and Zou Xun are also good."
"How about just choosing Louis Koo and Li Ruotong."
"Forget it, these two are old."
Xiaoru and Xiaohui were stunned for a moment, then walked behind a group of people to join in the fun.
When Xiaoru met the bespectacled man, a good friend, she couldn't help but ask: "What's going on?"
The man with glasses crossed his arms, glanced at Xiaoru, and said: "There is another advertisement, but it's not "Sword of Immortal", it's "The Legend of the Condor Heroes"."
""The Legend of the Condor Heroes"?" Xiaoru and Xiaohui looked at each other.
"It can't be Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei playing Yang Guo and Xiao Longnu!" Xiaoru's eyes lit up.
The man with glasses grinned and said, "That's what I thought at the first time. After all, the advertisement for "Sword of Immortal" was about Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei. Now that the advertisement for "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" popped up, I thought it was them again."
"Isn't that what you said?" Xiaoru frowned.
"Okay, hurry up and say it, Moji." Xiaohui was impatient.
The man with glasses was speechless and said: "Don't you know by yourself if you turn on the phone and click on the advertisement?"
Xiaoru and Xiaohui raised their eyebrows, "Yes."
After turning on two computers, the siblings sat down.
When the computer was turned on, an advertisement popped up in the lower right corner: "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" TV series, it's up to you to decide who will play Yang Guo or Xiao Longnu.
"Really or not? We have the final say?" Xiaoru blinked.
"Then it must be Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei!" Xiaohui patted the table.
"Hui Zai, you and I have the same idea. Li Xiaoyao and Zhao Ling'er are really at odds with each other. We must push them up." Someone on the other side echoed the message.
"Must support!" Xiaohui nodded.
I have to say that this novel advertisement is quite attractive.
Universal election of male and female protagonists?
It seems like this has never happened before.
Even if it happened, they don't know it.
For them, this is the first time in their lives that they have encountered such a thing.
However, when you click on the advertisement, the page that opens is no longer a separate page like "Sword of Immortality", but a website called "Xinlang Micro Entertainment".
Xiaoru and Xiaohui were just curious for a moment, then registered an account and logged in step by step.
Sure enough, there is a banner on the homepage after logging in - it is up to you to choose who will play Yang Guo and Xiao Longnu in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes".
Xiaoru and Xiaohui clicked, and a new page opened in the browser.
The entire page consists of the background introduction of "The Condor", character introductions and realistic scenery photos of Jiuzhaigou Valley and other places, which looks quite comfortable.
But the siblings didn't care about this. What they cared about were the two text boxes in the center and the names and votes in a table.
"Chu Xuan is the first among Yang Guo candidates! Liu Yifei is also the first among Xiao Longnu candidates! That's great!" Xiao Ru said happily.
"Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei are very popular on "Xinlang Micro Entertainment". Several hot searches on the hot search list are about Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei. Yesterday's "Sword of Immortality" just finished broadcasting. How many people cried to death. It must be
Find comfort in them," someone said.
Xiaoru used "Xinlang Micro Entertainment" for the first time, so she didn't quite understand what her friend was talking about, but she would have time to understand later, and she wanted to vote for Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei first.
Yang Guo:【】.
Xiao Longnu:【】.
Xiaoru looked at these two text boxes. To be precise, she looked at the rules under the text boxes.
After an account is bound with an ID card, it can only be filled in and submitted once and can never be changed.
The actors and actresses to be filled in are only mainland actors, and their age difference must not be greater than 5 years, otherwise they cannot be submitted. The age of the artist is based on the information of each artist registered in "Xinlang Micro Entertainment".
The official "Xinlang Micro Entertainment" will count the votes fairly and impartially, and select the top three to enter the final election on February 23.
All interpretation rights for this event belong to "Xinlang Micro Entertainment".
After a few glances, Xiaoru understood.
Decisively enter the names of Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei and click Submit.
Xiaoru glanced down and was startled.
Click to confirm and the browser automatically refreshes. One moment, Chu Xuan still had 600,000 votes, and Liu Yifei still had 620,000 votes. The next moment, it became 620,000 and 630,000.
"There must be many people who like Li Xiaoyao and Zhao Ling'er, that's great." Xiaoru frowned.
"Yang Guo and Xiao Longnu will stay together in the end. This ending is most suitable for Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei to play!" she said firmly.
As for whether Chu Xuan is suitable for Yang Guo and whether Liu Yifei is suitable for Xiao Longer.
To be honest, it's not within the scope of these people's consideration.
The ending of "Fairy Sword" "killed" them to death, and they had to make up for it, otherwise they would feel uncomfortable.
Now thinking about the ending of "Sword and Fairy" played yesterday, she was still sad.
It just so happened that "Sword of Immortality" finished broadcasting yesterday, and today "The Condor" happened.
Xiaoru firmly believes that there must be many viewers across the country who are dissatisfied with Li Xiaoyao and Zhao Ling'er, and will choose Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei to play Yang Guo and Xiao Longnu just like her.
Wang Jinhua captured the psychology of those who watched "Sword and Fairy" very well. This marketing method is so terrifying.
"Eh? There's also SMS voting!" Xiaoru was stunned.
"Yes, but SMS voting and online voting are counted together. Just know that Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei are both number one." Someone said.
"My dad's morning newspaper also has publicity, and the voting method is clearly written. There is also a section with a star ranking column, but today is the first day, and I guess there will be no ranking in tomorrow's newspaper, unlike this website.
The votes are counted in real time." Someone added.
"Huang Xiaoming, Nie Yuan, Zou Xun, Jiang Qinqin, Zhang Ziyi, these stars have so many votes." someone murmured.
"It's still a little bit behind Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei." Xiao Hui looked at the vote count.
Xiaoru glanced at the page for voting for the male and female protagonists of "The Condor" and stopped looking at it. When she came to the homepage, the first message she pushed attracted her.
[The popular election of male and female protagonists in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" currently has @chuxuan voting for Yang Guo as first place, and @李伟飞 voting for Xiao Longnu as first place.]
What attracted her was that the names Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei were in blue and looked clickable.
Xiaoru clicked Chu Xuan's name, and sure enough, she jumped to another page and came to Chu Xuan's personal space.
People who have been exposed to the Internet for a long time, even girls, can accept new things online very quickly.
After just looking at it for a minute or two, Xiaoru knew the correct way to play.
"Wow, this is a gathering place for Chu Xuan fans!"
Because of the role of Li Xiaoyao, Xiaoru, who completely fell in love with Chu Xuan, was instantly excited.
She looked towards the comments section and scrolled.
【Why does this activity make my blood boil?】
[I really like this activity. The sense of belonging is very strong and the camps are clearly divided. Anyone who blocks Chu Xuan’s path is my enemy. 】
[Don’t just focus on you, Chu Xuan, don’t forget about our Liu Yifei.]
[Nonsense, Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei are matched, okay? It’s up to you to say.]
Xiaoru covered her mouth and laughed. Seeing that so many people liked Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei, she felt it was fun and heartwarming.
She continued to look.
[There are advertisements on TV, have you noticed? 】
[I saw a few seconds of static advertisement. It was an advertisement for the popular election of male and female protagonists in "The Condor", and there was also the logo of "Xinlang Micro Entertainment". 】
[How can this be advertised? It’s so awesome!]
["Xinlang Micro Entertainment" made its fortune by advertising, so it's normal to run an event advertisement for "The Condor", right?]
[Offline newspapers, online "Micro Entertainment", TV advertisements, this is really a universal election! 】
[We must let Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei stay in first place and advance to the final election! Then be elected as the male and female protagonists! Brothers and sisters, hold on for a month, and those who should call friends quickly call them.]
——The Brilliant Era.
Office of the Chairman.
Chu Xuan, Liu Yifei, Liu Xiaoli, Wang Jinhua and Zhang Jizhong were sitting on the sofa.
Looking at the comments on the laptop on the coffee table, Zhang Jizhong said in admiration: "Jinhua, I am completely convinced. This marketing is really awesome, and my marketing plan is nothing."
Chu Xuan, Liu Yifei and Liu Xiaoli smiled.
Zhang Jizhong's marketing plan is just to use a few first-line artists to compete with Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei.
But the problem is, this offends people, and taking the initiative to offend them is not Wang Jinhua’s marketing style.
But if you want to praise Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei, you really have to compare them with others.
I don't want to offend anyone, but I also want to make a comparison.
Wang Jinhua wanted to play a big game - universal election.
The people elected you, so this is none of my business.
Moreover, all interpretation rights belong to "Xinlang Micro Entertainment". Most of the second-tier and above artists in the three places across the Taiwan Strait have signed cooperative promotion agreements with "Xinlang Micro Entertainment".
There is nothing to say about those artists who were chosen by the people but were not selected in the end.
"I'm very curious, how did you manage to not spend a penny and let Xinlang spend all the money for this marketing?" Zhang Jizhong shook his head.
"After one month of this marketing, the number of users of "Xinlang Micro Entertainment" will rise to a higher level again. This is an opportunity given to us by "Shendiao". Do you want Xinlang to pay for it? Or why do you want me?"
Pay? Without "Xinlang Micro Entertainment", I also have other marketing plans, but Mr. Cao can't do anything about it. He also said that he should tell him in time next time he has such a good idea." Wang Jinhua smiled.
Everyone couldn't help but laugh.
"Besides, it's only a matter of 18 million yuan, which is nothing to Xin Lang." Wang Jinhua raised the corner of his mouth slightly.
"Jinhua, aren't you afraid of losing your temper? What if Chu Xuan and Qian Qian lose the election?" Liu Xiaoli was a little worried.
Wang Jinhua shook his head and said: "Li Xiaoyao and Zhao Ling'er are now extremely popular. As the actors, Chu Xuan and Qian Qian once again won the first place in the "Condor" event. This one and the other are related.
Yes, "The Condor" has the blessing of national popularity. Under this month-long marketing, no drama can compare. The more popular "The Condor" becomes, the more popular Chu Xuan and Qian Qian, who are ranked first, become more popular. Chu Xuan and Qian Qian
The more popular it becomes, the more popular it becomes for Li Xiaoyao and Zhao Ling'er. This is a closed marketing loop."
Liu Xiaoli said thoughtfully: "I kind of understand. Is this combining the popularity of "Sword of Immortal" and the popularity of "The Condor" into one?"
Zhang Jizhong nodded and said: "That's right. To put it simply, Li Xiaoyao and Zhao Ling'er were regrettable yesterday. Today we have the opportunity to erase this regrettable matter. I believe that most viewers of "Sword" will support Chu Xuan and Zhao Ling'er."
Liu Yifei's average reception of .6.2, let's count it as 50 million viewers, it is impossible to vote for all, but as long as one-twentieth, 2.5 million viewers vote for you, I think your Yang Guo and Xiao Longnu will be stable."
Wang Jinhua raised her eyebrows at Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei and said: "The most important thing is, if everything goes well, then you two will be truly praised by the people of the country. We have no secret operations, which means your absolute popularity."
and strength.”
"But there's one thing." Zhang Jizhong smiled at Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei and said, "If you film "The Condor" again, and it's just your emotional scenes, then I think you may be inseparable as an on-screen couple in the future.
Fans probably won’t let you separate either.”
"They themselves know this, and they have their own plans for the future," Wang Jinhua said.
"That's OK." Zhang Jizhong smiled.
"Then I'll go home first to prepare for the New Year. I wish you all a happy Spring Festival in advance." He stood up and clasped his fists with a smile on his face.
Everyone also responded with a congratulatory message and watched Zhang Jizhong leave the office.
"Sister Li, it's agreed that we will have a reunion dinner at my house on New Year's Eve." Wang Jinhua said suddenly.
"Isn't this good?" Liu Xiaoli said politely.
Wang Jinhua pointed at Chu Xuan, "My brother."
Then he pointed at Liu Yifei and said, "My younger brother and sister."
Finally, he pointed at Liu Xiaoli and said, "My brother-in-law and his mother."
Wang Jinhua's lips curled up, "Family, you're welcome."
Chu Xuan, Liu Yifei and Liu Xiaoli couldn't help laughing.
"Then come to my house on New Year's Day." Liu Xiaoli returned the favor.
