Dongzhu Department Store, Huangpu District, Shanghai.
Dongzhu Department Store is a very famous large shopping mall in Shanghai. It is located in a prime location in the city center, only a few hundred meters away from the Huangpu River. It is one of the favorite places for many Shanghai residents to visit.
Especially on weekend nights, the shopping mall is particularly lively. Men and women carrying large and small bags are going between stores, swiping their credit cards to their heart's content and contributing to GDP.
Even at seven or eight o'clock, the entrances to the restaurants on the fourth and fifth floors were still full of customers waiting for a table.
In the central patio of the mall, the area around the performance stage was packed to the brim, and dozens of mall security guards were sweating profusely to maintain order, looking as if they were facing a formidable enemy.
In the evening, the crew of "Sweetheart CEO" held a promotional event here. The male and female protagonists, the director and the original author of the novel all appeared and interacted closely with the enthusiastic fans.
"Sweetheart CEO" is part of Feixun Video Network's plan to build a big IP. This self-made drama started filming two months ago and has gathered many domestic film and television stars. Among them, actor Tao Sicheng and heroine Jing Yao both played the leading role.
He is considered a quasi-A-list artist and is currently very popular and has many fans.
The filming location of "Sweetheart CEO" is in Shanghai. Dongzhu Department Store is one of the sponsors. Many scenes in the show were shot here.
The evening promotional event is also part of the sponsorship contract.
Amidst the cheers and shouts of the fans, Tao Sicheng and Jing Yao, who had just performed a love song together, walked off the stage and prepared to go to the temporary backstage to rest for a while.
At this time, a reporter with a nameplate on his chest and a cameraman with a hand-held camera came over and blocked the two of them. The microphone was extended at the same time.
The logo fixed on the microphone shows that this is a reporter from Yiwang Entertainment.
Immediately afterwards, two reporters from other media came over to catch a ride and get some entertainment news.
Seeing such a scene, the two of them stopped at the same time and showed professional smiles.
This kind of publicity activity is bound to involve reporters. The organizers also paid and stuffed red envelopes. No matter whether they were tired or not, or what their mood was, it was their obligation to cooperate with the interview.
The Yiwang reporter first asked a few innocuous questions, and then suddenly asked Tao Sicheng: "The drama "Sweetheart CEO" will premiere on Feixun Video tonight. As the leading actor, what are your expectations for the number of views?"
The TV series "Sweetheart CEO" is an online drama and is only broadcast on Feixun Video. The most important criterion for measuring performance is the number of on-demand views, which is equivalent to the TV station's ratings.
Compared with the highly authoritative ratings survey, the standards of video website on-demand numbers are really much different, especially for this kind of self-made drama, it is easy to just create big data casually.
However, the integrity of large video websites such as Youshi and Feixun is higher than that of competitors of small and medium-sized websites.
Of course, the number of views is not the only measurement indicator.
In response to the reporter's question, Tao Sicheng answered easily: "I believe this TV series will achieve very good results. I am very confident in its quality. I believe it will be loved by the audience!"
This kind of routine question and answer obviously did not meet the reporter's needs. He asked again: "As far as I know, there is also a TV series "Blue Life and Death" premiering on Feixun Video tonight. What do you think of this competitor?"
This kind of question is a hidden trap. If you don’t answer it well, it will easily be made a big fuss by the media.
If entertainment news wants to attract attention, it must first have something explosive. Reporters who are quarrelsome are my favorite!
But Tao Sicheng is not a newcomer who just debuted, so how could he step into such a trap?
He glanced at the reporter calmly and said: ""Blue Life and Death" is a very good work. This TV series premiered on the same day as "Sweetheart CEO". It is a spur and motivation for us. I am here
I also wish "Blue Life and Death" a success!"
Tao Sicheng's answer can be said to be watertight.
In fact, he has never even seen the trailer of "Blue Life and Death", he just knows that there is such a drama. It stars the singing queen Filia Chen, that's all.
But this does not prevent Tao Sicheng from pretending to understand him very well, neither flattering nor belittling, and appearing very sophisticated.
Seeing that he couldn't get anything out of his mouth, the reporter from Yiwang turned to Jing Yao with the microphone in hand: "Then, Miss Jing Yao, what do you think of "Blue Life and Death"?"
Jing Yao smiled.
Her smile seemed a little cold and she said: "I don't think "Blue Life and Death" will be our opponent. There is no comparison between the two dramas!"
Um?
Tao Sicheng turned his head and glanced at Jing Yao in surprise. Did you take the wrong medicine?
Or is it deliberately hyping up the topic?
Jing Yao is not a newcomer, so her words and actions should be measured. Her answer was obviously excessive.
The reporter immediately became excited and quickly asked: "Why is there no comparability?"
Jing Yao ignored Tao Sicheng's hint and said bluntly: "There is no comparison in all aspects, whether it is story, investment or cast, "Sweetheart CEO" is much better!"
The reporter caught the question: ""Blue Life and Death" stars Filia Chen."
Jing Yao said calmly: "She sings very well."
After saying that, the heroine turned around and left without giving Yi.com reporters a chance to ask further questions!
But the Yi.com reporter was already satisfied and couldn't wait to go back and prepare to publish the article.
This must be an excellent topic!
At 12 o'clock that night, the Yiwang Entertainment Channel published relevant news content.
The title is quite sensational.
"Jing Yao bombards Filia Chen, she sings very well!"
The entertainment reporter vividly described the process of interviewing Jing Yao. What sticks closely to the theme is Jing Yao's final answer, saying that Jing Yao bombarded Filia Chen because she could only sing but not act, so the latter starred in "
"Blue Life and Death Love" cannot be compared with "Sweetheart CEO".
Strictly speaking, this entertainment reporter did not distort Jing Yao's meaning. Jing Yao's attitude was very obvious in the interview video.
In addition to Yiwang Entertainment, two other media also released news later in the evening, focusing on the competition between the two TV series, describing the two as life-or-death enemies, and making irresponsible speculations.
Then the wind and waves were suddenly stirred up!
In terms of celebrity status in the industry, the distance between Jing Yao and Filia Chen is a bit big.
However, in the film and television industry, the situation is a bit different. Jing Yao is a professional actor and has appeared in many film and television dramas.
And Filia Chen only made guest appearances in a few movies, which was just for fun. Jing Yao used her acting skills to mock Filia Chen. It really can't be said that she is talking nonsense and is a professional.
The key is that last night "Sweetheart CEO" and "Blue Life and Death" premiered on Feixun Video at the same time. The former's on-demand number reached 7 million+, while the latter only had 1.4 million. The gap is really big.
Jing Yao made her debut as the heroine in the first episode, while Filia Chen had to wait until next Saturday to appear in the drama, which just happened to be a time lag.
Lu Chen only saw the news at noon the next day.
At this time, on the Inspur Blog, the gossip about Jing Yao's bombardment of Filia Chen had spread widely.
In Jing Yao's blog, countless fans of Filia Chen sprayed her all over her body, and many fans of Jing Yao went to Filia Chen's blog to ridicule her. The two sides fought fiercely!
"how so?"
Lu Chen was very puzzled and couldn't help but ask Filia Chen, who was sitting opposite him: "Do you have any grudge against her?"
Both of them were on the set, and it was time for a lunch break. Li Feiyu only found out about the entertainment news when he brought him his mobile phone, so he was full of questions.
You must know that unless they want to deliberately hype up, if there is no hatred, any celebrity artist with a certain status will not easily open up and let others see the joke.
Of course, Filia Chen already knew about this, but she just didn't tell Lu Chen.
Now when Lu Chen asked, she smiled lightly and said, "It was probably once before that someone originally asked her to play a role, but she later came to find me."
"I didn't know it at the time. I just acted to save face. I didn't know it happened until later."
So that’s it!
Lu Chen suddenly realized, he couldn't help but ask: "What if you knew then?"
Filia Chen said proudly: "I give face to my friend and it has nothing to do with her. She likes to be sentimental. That is her own business!"
Lu Chen smiled and gave her a thumbs up: "Sister Fei is so powerful!"
Filia Chen patted Lu Chen's hand and said coquettishly: "I hate it!"
Lu Chen chuckled and asked, "Then do you want to post a blog post to counter her?"
He felt very disgusted with this kind of person who made trouble over nothing, and thought about slapping him back.
Filia Chen shook her head and said: "It's not necessary. I asked Sister Zhang to refuse all interviews for the time being. Let the facts speak for themselves. It's useless to say anything without results."
Lu Chen nodded. He knew that Filia Chen didn't bother arguing with Jing Yao. The two of them were in different positions, so taking her seriously would make the other person proud.
As long as the performance of "Blue Life and Death" is outstanding, Jing Yao's bombardment will naturally become a joke.
And Filia Chen, like him, will appear in the second half of the third episode, which will not be broadcast until next Saturday night.
Therefore, those who are noisy now will only look loner.
"Great morning!"
At this moment, Li Feiyu hurried over.
He said with some excitement: "The national ratings of "Blue Life and Death" are out!"
Lu Chen suddenly became energetic and asked: "How much?"
Filia Chen is also very concerned.
Li Feiyu smiled and said: "0.22%!"
0.22%!
The ratings are quite high, and it is a perfect start for a TV series.
Lu Chen couldn't help but let out a long breath, and the previous slight depression disappeared in an instant!——
