The diva and I cross each other

Chapter 495 Headlines with Over Million Users

In the previous life, after this plot was broadcast, many people actually guessed directly that Aunt Guo’s accomplice was the driver.

Many people also said that the casting of the driver was actually one of the "failures" of the show, which greatly reduced the sense of suspense.

After all, compared with other passengers, the actor who plays the driver is much more famous and well-known, and he will definitely not be just a background character driving the car.

The audience is not stupid. On the contrary, they have watched TV dramas for many years and are veterans.

How could they not guess that there was something wrong with the driver? Many people even started to doubt him in the first episode.

Huayue Entertainment naturally did not make the same mistake when casting.

The bus driver they found was an acting teacher at Huayue Entertainment, and the same went for Aunt Guo. Both of them were responsible for teaching Huayue Entertainment's newly-minted movie stars and making them familiar with the process of filming TV series and movies.

The two have been immersed in this industry for many years, so their acting skills are naturally not bad. It's just that they seldom shoot any TV series. They mainly do behind-the-scenes guidance work. Even if they occasionally appear on camera, they are just stand-ins or other characters who don't show their faces.

This is why few people know them.

Lin Shuwen naturally knew the two of them. After hearing what Luo Ming said, she began to feel that there was something wrong with the driver.

However, compared to who was Auntie Guo's accomplice in the car, Lin Shuwen felt relieved when she saw the car explode, because the car explosion meant that the cycle should continue.

Only in this way can the male protagonist get rid of the identity of a murderer. After all, no matter what, Xiao Heyun did kill someone. If he does not enter the cycle, Xiao Heyun will also have to bear legal responsibility.

Good people don't get rewarded, this kind of plot is not in line with core values.

But then again, there were many twists and turns in these two episodes of "The Beginning". Lin Shuwen felt that many people would find the plot development of these two episodes very exciting and give them extremely high praise.

The main creative team of "The Beginning" obviously made a break here in order to increase the level of discussion.

Of course, there will definitely be viewers who don’t like the way the male protagonist kills people.

Luo Ming had seen similar complaints in his previous life, and the most common one was:

The male and female protagonists risked their lives several times to save a car full of people. The female protagonist experienced being killed once, and the male protagonist accidentally killed someone. These memories will be engraved in their minds forever, and may have a great impact on the male and female protagonists' lives. It is really inappropriate to arrange the roles in this way just to stimulate the audience.

However, such remarks are definitely a minority. There are all kinds of birds in the forest, and Luo Ming would not care about such saintly remarks.

As for Huayue Entertainment, as a mature entertainment company, they would not care at all. No matter whether it is good or bad reviews, the more discussion it has, the better it is for "The Beginning".

Lin Shuwen took a shower to calm herself down, then lay on the bed and checked Weibo, mainly reading comments about "The Beginning".

"Fuck, where did Hua Yue find this actress? Her eyes are so scary! Has she really killed anyone?"

"I also felt terrified, especially when she killed the male and female protagonists with an expressionless face. I felt terrible."

"This teacher has such good acting skills, why isn't he famous?"

"You don't understand this! The entertainment industry has never been a place where you can get ahead just by having good acting skills."

"I hope this teacher can take on more roles in the future. The domestic entertainment industry needs actors with such acting skills to save it."

"Teacher Ren is going to be famous now." Lin Shuwen muttered to herself.

When she first entered the industry, she also took Teacher Ren’s class. She thought Teacher Ren’s acting skills were amazing, better than some movie emperors and actresses.

"Huh? What is this?" Lin Shuwen paused while scrolling through Weibo.

Luo Ming, who happened to enter the bedroom, heard Lin Shuwen's words and leaned over to glance at her mobile phone screen.

There is an emoticon on the screen, and the picture shows Aunt Guo with a cold face. It is obviously a screenshot from a TV series, but the caption below is very stupid.

Lin Shuwen's photo reads: "Do you want to eat pressure cooker stew?"

“Pfft~” Luo Ming laughed out loud: “To be honest, the netizens made a really good emoticon pack.”

"It's more than just an emoticon pack, there's also a new nickname! They call Teacher Ren's character Auntie Guo."

Luo Ming was stunned when he heard this, because this nickname was the same as his nickname in his previous life.

He smiled and said, "I think this nickname is pretty good."

Lin Shuwen nodded without saying anything, and continued to look through Auntie Guo's emoticons: "Want a ride? Auntie will treat you."

"It made my aunt laugh."

"If you say that, Auntie will explode."

"Aming, why does Auntie Guo have so many emoticons?" Lin Shuwen asked while scrolling.

"Maybe it's because she's quite unique!"

"Are there any characteristics? What characteristics? No expression on the face?" Lin Shuwen asked curiously.

"No, it's scary."

"Ah? Being scary is also called having characteristics?"

“Of course, this acting instructor from Huayue Entertainment has very good acting skills, and her micro-expressions can be said to be textbook-level performances.

But because her acting is so good, some viewers feel a little scared when they see her. That’s why people make these emoticons to dispel this fear. As long as the emoticons of this character are silly enough, no one will be afraid. "

After hearing this, Lin Shuwen pondered for a moment and felt that there was some truth in it.

“Will these emoticons affect Auntie Guo’s character development?”

"No, the fact that netizens are making emoticons shows that Auntie Guo's image has already been established. These emoticons will not only not affect Auntie Guo's characterization, but will also add another wave of popularity to the drama."

The fact is just as Luo Ming said, with the popularity of Aunt Guo’s emoticon package, the number of new members of Penguin Video is increasing.

Cao Jianghan looked at the background data and his mouth was about to split open with laughter. Penguin Video really made a huge profit this time.

The suspense theater on iQiyi, on the other hand, is gloomy and dismal.

"Who is the Murderer?" started off strong but ended poorly, and the ending was also bland, failing to restore its reputation. The overall rating of the TV series was only 6.5 points, which was just barely passing.

The current rating of "Beginning" is 8.9 points.

This time, iQiyi was directly crushed by Penguin Video.

IQIYI’s first attempt at using Penguin Video’s suspense theater was a dud, what’s next?
The next day, when Luo Ming and Lin Shuwen came to the company, Lin Shuwen used administrator privileges to return their souls to their places.

As soon as Luo Ming sat down in the office, Rong Mu came over with a report.

"Is there good news?" Luo Ming asked, glancing at the joyful Rong Mu.

"Take a look for yourself!" Rong Mu handed the folder to Luo Ming.

Luo Ming took the folder and browsed it quickly.

The contents of the folder are very simple and can be summed up in one sentence: the number of registered users of Toutiao has exceeded 100 million.

"Has the number of users exceeded 100 million so quickly?" Luo Ming said in surprise.

"It's quite fast. It's only been three months since Toutiao went online, and within three months, the number of registered users has exceeded 100 million. It's no exaggeration to say it's a miracle."

"Mu Tou, have you ever counted why the number of users is increasing so quickly?" Luo Ming asked as he put down the folder.

“Yes, I have summarized three reasons. The first is our gold coin system. The gold coin systems of Neihan Duanzi and Toutiao are interconnected and can attract traffic to each other.

Among the 1 million registered users of Toutiao, 60.92% overlap with those of Neihan Duanzi. In other words, they were brought over by our gold coin system.

The second is that Toutiao’s Toutiao account is operated very well. We have achieved a win-win cooperation with the news self-media. The news self-media has made money, and we have attracted users through them.

The third is the star effect of Zhuoguang Entertainment and Huayue Entertainment. The artists of these two companies have been promoting Toutiao since they went online. The star effect is still terrifying. "

"Is that so? Then all my time spent here has not been in vain." Luo Ming said with a smile.

"Yes! After the filming of 'The Beginning' that you wrote was completed, the internal product placements also helped to attract traffic to our headlines."
