The Wind of China Entertainment 2005

Chapter 739 What is Traffic?

Zhao Siyu is arguing with Li Yifeng’s fans online about his appearance.

She has watched both "Three Lives Three Worlds" and "Gu Jian Qi Tan". To be fair, she prefers the former.

Bai Qian, played by Liu Shishi, grows up all the way, the male and female protagonists have good acting skills, the details are well polished, the scenery is beautiful, and the special effects are acceptable, which is quite in line with her taste.

But it doesn't mean that "Gu Jian Qi Tan" is bad.

The plot of the latter is equally good. The emotional drama between Baili Tu Su and Feng Qingxue is very sweet, Ouyang Shaogong is very handsome, and Zheng Shuang is very smart.

Of course, there are also many problems, such as cheap costumes and props, poor special effects, and poor acting skills of the leading male actor.

However, when she posted some of the shortcomings of "Gu Jian Qi Tan" online, she found that there were always fans who smelled the smell and came over. Moreover, the fans of this drama are very crazy. They like to cover their mouths and cannot tolerate others saying a bad word.

Especially Li Yifeng's acting skills.

Whenever we talk about his acting skills, the other party would say that my brother is handsome, has a good personality, and has a promising future.

She doesn’t know the actual age of the netizen in real life, but she estimates that he is not very old. However, she really dislikes the so-called “face fans” in the entertainment industry.

These people, under the banner of "appearance equals justice", can subconsciously ignore many things, including values, morality, etc.
In their eyes, if you are good-looking, everything you do is right, but if you are ugly, even breathing is wrong.

The saying that three views follow the five senses is very popular on the Internet. The consequence is that many people have gradually lost their three views.

For example, a piece of news she saw recently.

A 19-year-old college dropout, addicted to gambling, owed a huge gambling debt and had nowhere else to turn, so he began to think about stealing.

He prepared knives, hoods and other tools and sneaked into a house.

A 70-year-old man and a 14-year-old girl were killed in extremely cruel ways.

The two victims were sleeping at the time, and he stabbed them several times in the neck, chest, and back, and they died on the spot...

When someone posted the other person's photo on Tieba, it instantly caused a sensation.

Not because of the evil deeds he committed, but because of his appearance.

Some infatuated netizens lamented that he was so handsome, calling him "husband" all the time and expressed that they wanted to fall in love with him.

It was just a blurry photo, but some people could see "sadness" and "regret" in his eyes and asked for another chance.

Although he is already over 18 years old, in the eyes of netizens who believe that "appearance is justice", he is still "just a child".

What is even more unreasonable is that there are still people who are so crazy as to defend him.

"Humans are animals after all. Isn't it normal for animals to kill each other?"

"Others are not my relatives, what does it have to do with me?"

"."

For the first time, Zhao Siyu witnessed the diversity of species on the Internet.

It is undeniable that loving beauty is human nature, but what is more important than appearance is talent and character.

Start with appearance and stay loyal to character!

This is also the reason why she has been pursuing Lu Yuan for several years.

In her opinion, Li Yifeng's fans who communicated with her verbally were not much different from those crazy netizens.

As an actor, when talking about professional ability, he only uses appearance and hard work as excuses. What kind of excuse is this?
The foundation of an actor's career is professional ability, and he wins resources through solid acting skills and excellent works.

If an actor only needs to have good looks, then why do we need three major colleges? They can just hold a beauty pageant directly.

So, she used Lu Yuan as an example, saying that Lu Yuan was the type of person who had both good character and good acting skills. He could obviously make a living by relying on his looks, but he chose to prove himself with his talent.

Unexpectedly, the other party did not buy it at all and even used some unfounded black material to attack Lu Yuan.

But she was very angry.

In fact, Lu Yuan has a lot of black fans online, but he is not RMB, so it is impossible for him to be liked by everyone.

But to compare him with an actor who had no professional skills at all seemed to her to be an insult to Lu Yuan.

She suppressed her temper and replied: "If you are a fan of a star, please be more rational. Some star managers contact beautiful underage girls on Weibo in the name of discovering new talents or looking for female leads for music videos. You are a sure bet."

Yi Sheng Wu Hui: "I am happy with it. Feng Feng is the most handsome. I am willing to lie to you."

Zhao Siyu: “.”

Yi Sheng Wu Hui continued to shout: "Feng Feng didn't become famous overnight. He accumulated a lot of experience over many years. Although he didn't come from a professional acting school, he worked hard and made progress through one play after another. Now he has finally become a leading actor."

"Isn't Lu Yuan like this? He takes one step at a time. You guys are jealous. The new generation is replacing the old generation. Wait for Fengfeng to shoot more movies."

How dare you? Zhao Siyu was speechless. She became more and more certain of the man's age. Just as she was about to type something, Yi Sheng Wuhui replied again.

"Hahaha, Fengfeng gained 100 million followers in a single day, and his single Weibo post received over 100 million comments, with over 80 million views. Did you see that? He's the No. traffic star among those born in the s, well-deserved. Who else is better?"

Zhao Siyu didn't understand what a traffic star was, so she exited the interface and checked online.

Press releases about Li Yi being crowned as a popular young actor are all over the internet. What's even more outrageous is that some of these press releases even compare him to Lu Yuan.

Isn't this a deliberate attempt to scam people? Is Huanrui's marketing department crazy, or can't they control their subordinates?

She was too lazy to reply to the crazy fans, so she opened the QQ group and saw that reports were being forwarded to the group, and everyone was extremely excited!
"Fuck, Li Yifeng's fans are all kids, they curse all the time, they only know how to look at faces, and they call rolling their eyes acting."

"Our boss is no more handsome than that dead fish eyes guy."

"Perhaps it's because Li Yifeng is single and the boss has a baby, many of Li Yifeng's fans couldn't stand the boss' official announcement of stopping being fans, and they are unwilling to accept it, and because of love they have turned to hate, so they can only settle for the next best thing."

“Ugh, the aesthetics have regressed.”

"They really dare to brag that a historical drama "Gu Jian Qi Tan" has become the most popular drama among the post-80s generation?"

"Exactly. Have you forgotten that our boss was also born in the 80s?"

"Huanrui's marketing department needs to be removed. They actually released a press release to criticize the boss. Which of the boss's dramas is not more popular than "Gu Jian Qi Tan"? It was only a short time after "My Love from the Star". This is outrageous."

Zhao Siyu silently asked: "Is it possible that Li Yifeng's fans are just being clever and maliciously trying to scam me?"

"It's possible. After all, in the eyes of fanatical fans, their idol is the best in the world."

"I think the marketing department of Yuanfang Media should also be removed. They have put their face on it, and you don't care about this?"

"Hey, I can't possibly pay attention to him. We are not on the same level. It would be a loss of face. Paying attention to him would only make him more popular."

Someone else said in the group: "Sisters, I can't stand it anymore. These young people are really unreasonable. Now they are using their popularity and 100 million comments on Weibo to talk about things, showing off their power and being so arrogant."

"Fuck, I'm so pissed. It's like they're saying that Li Yifeng, who was born in the 80s, is the best. Even if they say he was born in the 85s, I can accept it. I can't stand it anymore. I want to fuck them."

"Fuck him!"

"Fuck him!"

"Let's do it together!"

"Dry!"

"How?"

"That's easy. Push the boss's Weibo to the top. It's only one million comments. Notify the group and let them know. Huanrui's data is too fake. They probably thought one million was hard to come by. Let them see what real traffic is. The title of the male artist who started the traffic era may not be given to the boss, but no one else is qualified to get it!"

"Uh, the boss doesn't post on Weibo."

"So we have been discussing this for so long, but we are missing the most important person. An incompetent general can exhaust the whole army!" "The boss is confused and incompetent."

"I can do it too. I just learned this sentence this afternoon. The emperor is not anxious, but the eunuchs are anxious to death."

"Get the elementary school student upstairs out of here!!!"

Zhao Siyu was amused by the silly comments of the group members. As the group leader, she typed: "Stop arguing. If the boss doesn't post on Weibo, then find an old one, or wait a while and I'll ask Sister Qian."

The last time I went to Shanghai to receive an award, I learned that she was a fan and got the contact information of Lu Yuan’s assistant Zheng Qian.

But before Zhao Siyu could send out this message, someone got there first and forwarded it on Weibo.

"Everyone, look, the boss has posted something. Hey, he's going to participate in the variety show 'Where Are You?' What is this?"

"What, variety show, what variety show?"

"Oh my god, there will be a day when the boss will participate in a variety show. I must be dreaming."

"It's a charity variety show, thumbs up!!"

"Sisters, the opportunity has come. Step up and kill Li Yifeng's fans. Let them see what traffic is and who is the top star in the mainland film and television industry."

"Don't @Li Yifeng, don't embarrass the boss."

Magic City, the production team of the variety show "Where Are You".

This is a studio, about 800 square meters, with a floor height of 12 meters, a column-free design and a clear view.

The auditorium is arranged in a stepped manner and can accommodate 300 people. The seats are red and are now full of audience.

Facing the innermost side of the audience seats is a 20-meter-by-10-meter stage. Behind the stage stands a large screen, and under the screen are several white sofas.

There is a 3-meter-wide passage on each side of the stage, connecting the dressing room, prop warehouse, and actor's lounge.

Lu Yuan and the director exchanged opinions on the upcoming filming.

Coming out of the lounge, I saw an audience member approaching. He poked his head out with a hesitant expression, as if he wanted to say something.

Seeing her struggling, Lu Yuan smiled and asked, "Do you want to say something to me, or take a photo? We'll have to wait for a while."

The audience blinked before realizing he was talking to them. They said excitedly, "Teacher Lu, the Weibo post you just posted has become very popular. It's extremely popular."

"Really? I understand. You should go back to your seat quickly. The program recording will start soon." Lu Yuan nodded, not caring too much.

PPS's self-made variety show "Where" officially started recording today. When he arrived, the director of the program expressed the hope that he would post a Weibo to warm up the program in advance, and he naturally agreed.

This matter is not worth making a fuss about.

He just thought the other person was his fan who wanted to talk to him, so he spoke in a gentle manner and then turned around to continue communicating with the director.

"That's not what I meant." The audience was a little nervous and couldn't explain clearly. Seeing the staff staring at her, as if to drive her away, she quickly took out her phone and said, "Hey, look for yourself."

As she spoke, she stared at Lu Yuan with sharp eyes, and exclaimed in her heart that he was awesome. She had never seen any star's fans so powerful and so combative.

At this time, Zheng Qian came over, also holding a mobile phone.

Lu Yuan frowned, took the phone from the female audience, and looked at the topic on Weibo.

While I was surprised, I understood why the other person made such an expression.

How could an ordinary Weibo post inexplicably become the number one trending search?

There are indeed quite a few people following him on Weibo, over 9000 million, ranking first on Weibo, but that doesn’t mean that any random post he makes will top the trending search list.

The most outrageous thing is that the number of comments exceeded one million in a very short period of time and was heading towards three million.

He didn't remember PPS revealing the news about "Where Is It". Is everyone so idle?

A closer look at the comments from netizens made him even more confused, as they had nothing to do with the variety show "Where Are You?"

"Open your eyes and watch carefully. I will only demonstrate it once. What the hell is traffic?"

"Just one million, give it to me!"

"No words, just leave comments."

"What should I write? Well, my husband is the most handsome man in the world!"

"I heard that this is the account of the artist who started the era of mainland traffic. Brother is really handsome."

"Man, we need to fight!"

"Is three million enough? If not, then five million."

"."

After Lu Yuan took a quick look, he finally understood what had happened and was at a loss whether to laugh or cry for a moment.

What the hell is going on? He has grabbed the title of a popular young actor for himself. Isn't this an insult? He is going backwards. Zhu Yawen and others must be dying of laughter.

My fans are really silly and cute.

However, it also accidentally allowed more people to get to know the variety show "Where".

At least he just took a quick glance and found that many Weibo posts related to "Where" were on the list.

He had heard about the public opinion war between Zhu Yilong and Li Yifeng in their fight for a place in the ancient idol drama track.

In order to market Li Yifeng, Huanrui inflated a lot of data and created a seemingly novel and flashy title of a traffic star.

In fact, it is just old wine in new bottles.

As the name suggests, traffic stars have a large number of fans, are very popular, have high commercial value, and the media rush to report on them wherever they go.

And he understands this stage better than anyone, especially after "My Love from the Star".

He stared at the press release about Li Yifeng and smiled inexplicably. He felt that Huanrui was being foolish. It would have been much better to change the number one traffic star born in the 80s to one born in the 85s, but they had to include him in the list.

To be honest, Liu Shishi, Yang Mi and others can also be called traffic stars.

Back then, there was a fierce battle between "Scarlet Heart" and "Palace", and fans of both sides started to tear each other apart on major platforms.

However, traffic is ultimately illusory. With the passage of time, the new generation will outstrip the old generation, and there will always be a day when it disappears.

The replacement of popular artists is faster than that of ordinary actors, and the foundation of an actor’s career is still his works.

"Give."

"Mr. Lu, you have the highest traffic." The female audience member's eyes were full of stars, and she joked boldly.

Lu Yuan curled his lips, returned the phone to her, and walked up the steps to the podium.

The guests invited by the program team of "Where Are You" for the first episode are a couple who have been searching for their son for seven years.

The couple were originally from Hubei. In order to create better living conditions for their children, they went to Shenzhen in 2007 and opened a steamed bun shop.

After opening, business was booming and there was always work to be done every day.

Unexpectedly, on the 7th day in Shenzhen, the couple was resting in the house after finishing their work, and the children who were playing at the door were nowhere to be seen.

After asking around, a neighbor told him that he saw the child being taken away by relatives.

The couple immediately called the police to find their son, as they had no relatives. After searching without any results, they turned their steamed bun shop into a shop to find their son, posted a banner offering a reward of 20 yuan, and embarked on the long journey to find their son.
