This celebrity is absolutely wicked.

Chapter 497 The opponent stabs him in the back again

This anger carried over into the next day.

In the afternoon, Jiang Haoxing attended an event organized by the media.

This event was specifically organized as a promotional activity for "Sword Out of the Vast Ocean," allowing the actors to talk about some things related to the drama.

During the conversation, Jiang Haoxing became somewhat impatient.

Lately, there have been too many people criticizing him online.

Some people criticized his lines, some criticized his acting, and some even said he should quit acting and do something else.

Jiang Haoxing also has a temper. Why are you netizens criticizing me?
He sent several lawyer's letters to just a few content creators on K-site who criticized him.

That's all. But now that we see how popular "Chinese Paladin" is, even the actors in it, and several new actors, are showing signs of surpassing him.

Jiang Haoxing's mindset has also changed somewhat.

The exchange meeting is currently being broadcast live, and Jiang Haoxing is sitting in the center of the seat.

The group of people were chatting when the conversation turned to watching TV shows.

Jiang Haoxing immediately got excited.

He shifted his position on the bench and looked at the person next to him, saying, "I think everyone should immerse themselves in watching a show. Every production team puts a lot of effort into each one. If you're washing your face and brushing your teeth while watching a show, and you're not really watching it properly, then you might as well not watch it at all and waste your membership."

Jiang Haoxing felt a little better after saying that.

He definitely wouldn't dare to openly insult the audience.

But it's okay to say a few things in a subtle way, since the fans will always stand behind him anyway.

As for those who say bad things about him, they are just haters.

That evening, Lu Ran returned to his hotel and checked the messages on Douyin (TikTok). A group of Shadi netizens had tagged him.

"Director Lu, look what you've done! How did you manage to push Jiang Haoxing to such a desperate point?"

"Jiang Haoxing directly said that everyone doesn't understand how to watch dramas."

"Hahaha! Sword Out of the Vast Ocean failed miserably, and now you're blaming the audience!"

Lu Ran was still a little confused when he saw the message.

He clicked into those videos and took a look.

What Jiang Haoxing said during his live broadcast today has already spread across the internet.

Jiang Haoxing thought he had nothing wrong with what he said, but now everyone is not stupid.

The audience can hear the veiled sarcasm in your words.

These videos are already filled with criticism.

"When people say your lines are bad, when they say your acting is bad, do you just say it's because they didn't watch the show properly?"

"You're overthinking it. I don't watch shows like yours when I'm brushing my teeth or washing my face!"

"Don't you realize why people aren't watching your shows seriously?"

"Why are you now lecturing viewers on how to watch dramas?"

Netizens are truly furious this time.

However, Jiang Haoxing's fans are still defending him in the comments section.

The sales pitches are all pretty much the same.

"Jiang Haoxing is urging everyone to watch the show carefully."

"A bunch of haters, they just can't stand to see Jiang Haoxing doing well."

"I strongly suggest that the government arrest all these haters."

Lu Ran roughly understood the content of this topic.

He also watched the drama "Sword Out of the Vast Ocean," and there were quite a few problems in it. As netizens have pointed out, these problems are indeed real.

For example, it's becoming popular for dramas to use actors' original voices for dubbing, but Jiang Haoxing's lines are not good, and the worst part is that his pronunciation is unclear.

Without subtitles, viewers would have no idea what he was saying, which becomes especially noticeable later in the story.

It's an objective fact that the acting was poor.

But to his surprise, Jiang Haoxing started lecturing the audience.

Do the audience need you to educate them?

As Lu Ran looked around, he came across photos related to "Chinese Paladin".

Many netizens posted photos of themselves watching Chinese Paladin in the comments section.

"I was watching Chinese Paladin while brushing my teeth. It's not that I wasn't engrossed enough, it's that I couldn't put it down."

"To be honest, I watch Legend of Sword and Fairy while slacking off at work. I'm trying to avoid being caught by my boss, but it doesn't affect my immersion at all."

“My wife puts her phone next to her while she cooks and watches Chinese Paladin, but that doesn’t stop her from seeing that Li Xiaoyao, that scumbag, kicked me.”

"I think the fact that people are willing to watch your show even when they're doing other things proves that they can't put it down, doesn't it?"

Seeing the spontaneous promotion from these netizens, Lu Ran immediately called He Dawei.

"Director He, have you seen the public opinion surrounding Jiang Haoxing?"

"I saw it, this person is crazy."

"How about we organize an event where people share what state they're in when watching Legend of Sword and Fairy?"

David He hissed, "You went this far?" Lu Ran said calmly, "These people didn't think of that when they attacked me."

The production company behind "Sword Out of the Vast Ocean," along with Jiang Haoxing and his Liujin Culture, are all in cahoots with the Golden Tripod Awards.

Lu Ran acted without any psychological burden.

"It's not impossible."

The next day, a topic about "Chinese Paladin" was started on Douyin (TikTok).

#Share how you watch Chinese Paladin.

This immediately got netizens all excited.

In the discussion, a group of netizens shared videos of watching "Chinese Paladin" in various states of mind.

With the promotion from Douyin (TikTok), the data for "Chinese Paladin" has further increased.

Meanwhile, Jiang Haoxing was extremely anxious, like an ant on a hot pan.

He's been scolded by the company several times since last night.

From his agent to his boss, they called him one after another.

This also includes the series of capital behind the drama "Sword Out of the Vast Ocean".

"I'm sick!"

Jiang Haoxing simply hid in the hotel playing games and did nothing else.

But when the latest episode of "Sword Out of the Vast Ocean" was released in the evening, it was too late.

Another topic has become a trending topic.

#Sword Out of the Sea bloopers.

In this topic, in tonight's episode, there's a scene featuring Jiang Haoxing, who appears half-body, but he's holding a script in his hand.

The white script was exposed, with traces of highlighter marks on it.

If you have to blame someone for this, you can blame the editing.

Ultimately, however, the problem lies with Jiang Haoxing.

Under normal circumstances, you shouldn't still be holding the script at this point.

In an instant, Sword Out of the Vast Ocean became popular again.

After "Sword Out of the Sea" became popular, "Chinese Paladin," which was originally criticized as "poorly made," was brought up again by the audience.

It's not fair to blame the audience for criticizing it; the world of period dramas is only so big.

A so-called S-level big-budget TV series is actually not as well-made as the production team that Lu Ran put together and the group of new actors he hired.

Lu Ran never expected that his original intention was just to ride the wave of popularity, but his opponent ended up stabbing him in the back.

These people in the entertainment industry these days don't even need him to lift a finger; they'll kill themselves.

A few days later, "Chinese Paladin" released five more episodes.

This time, the live stream of "Chinese Paladin" attracted millions of online viewers.

This is because "Chinese Paladin" updates at noon every time, and there are quite a few updates, so some viewers don't have time to watch.

In episode eleven, Zhao Ling'er and Liu Jinyuan meet.

In the previous episodes, Zhao Ling'er was very disappointed in Li Xiaoyao after seeing his intimate behavior with Lin Yueru.

However, Liu Jinyuan explained the situation to Zhao Ling'er, saying it was just a misunderstanding.

Even if the misunderstanding is cleared up, Zhao Ling'er cannot return to Li Xiaoyao's side.

At this point, Zhao Ling'er already knew that she was a descendant of Nuwa and bore the responsibility of saving the world. Romantic feelings were a luxury for her.

However, after being persuaded by Liu Jinyuan, Zhao Ling'er finally understood.

During this scene where Zhao Ling'er is deep in thought, the background music is "Xiaoyao Tan".

Love has come to an end, and hate has also abandoned its promises.

"Fate considers itself humorous; too many thoughts are beyond my control."

Upon hearing this background music, the audience's eyes lit up once again.

"This is sung by Lu Ran!"

"It's not sung by Lu Ran, it's sung by Li Xiaoyao!"

"This song is great too!"

In these five episodes, "Chinese Paladin" began to enter its true main storyline, and the overall viewership data continued to rise.

After watching it, the song "Xiaoyao Tan" also became popular on Douyin (TikTok).

Time flies by.

On the set of "Chinese Paladin," with the completion of the last shot, filming for the entire series officially came to a close.

The filming of "Chinese Paladin" progressed faster and faster, and it was already December.

The rest of the work is all post-production work.

After the news of the completion of filming for "Chinese Paladin" spread, Pang Yuntian called Lu Ran that very evening.

"Now that you're done with your work, let me get to the important stuff. Huang Feihong's schedule is set for New Year's Day. There are a few promotional events you'll need to attend."
