Two pieces of information appeared before Zhang Qilin's eyes:

During his five years at the Beijing People's Art Theatre, Chen Mo accumulated solid stage experience and stable improvisation skills, enabling him to perform well in any role assigned by his superiors...

In terms of acting philosophy, Chen Mo is obsessed with the precise design of details and is impatient with discussions about character empathy. He can accept losing to those with experience and seniority, but he resists the theory of talent...

This is the information about Chen Mo that he obtained from his divination this morning.

Chen Mo tried to understand him, but little did she know that he had already been thoroughly figured out.

He read this passage many times.

He devised a corresponding strategy based on Chen Mo's preferences, strengths, and weaknesses.

When competing with Chen Mo, it's best to avoid head-on clashes in areas where he has an advantage; therefore, the Mirror Acting Destiny cannot be used.

His fragments of destiny could only mimic 50% of the target's abilities. Compared to the mimicry abilities that Chen Mo had honed over five years, he was clearly at a disadvantage.

To win in the competition for small straights, you must find another way.

The focus is on exploring the character's inner world and presenting the authenticity of emotions.

Only in this way can we have a chance to defeat the opponent.

Of course, all of this must be done in private.

On the surface, he intends to continue implementing the strategy of "yielding to the strong".

Play the role of a newcomer who is targeted but powerless to fight back.

He didn't expect to completely dispel Chen Mo's vigilance; as long as he didn't provoke Chen Mo to target him with all his might, he would have an opportunity to take advantage of the situation.

After all, Chen Mo had spent five years at the Beijing People's Art Theatre and was much more familiar with its rules, interpersonal relationships, and unspoken rules than he was.

If someone were to sabotage him behind his back, he could very well suffer many unspeakable and inexplicable losses without even realizing it.

Just as I was thinking this, a new message suddenly popped up in front of me:

[Real fans: 1532]

Since he started live streaming with pictures and text, his real fans have been steadily increasing.

It seems that ultimately, it's the work itself that speaks for itself and attracts more fans.

Those who followed him because of his photos were mostly out of curiosity or attracted by his good looks.

Although he wasn't the absolute lead this time, he still had a significant amount of screen time, attracting a group of dedicated fans who genuinely care about his performance.

In the domestic fan ecosystem, the strong ultimately reign supreme.

As long as you continue to be strong, you will have more and more fans.

This is precisely why many artists are obsessed with the battle for top billing; by stepping on others to rise to the top, they can often quickly gain fans from their rivals.

But for Zhang Qilin, he needs to minimize the influence of the fan circle and not let fans sway his thoughts.

Ultimately, achieving this requires solid personal strength.

Zhang Qilin checked the time and continued practicing his lines.

At 10:30 p.m. that night, the live text and image team completed the final round of image uploading and data aggregation.

The Weibo hashtag 【Zhang Qilin's Stage Debut】 has garnered over eight million views, and discussion surrounding it is steadily increasing.

In the comments section, besides fans controlling the narrative, more and more casual observers are joining the discussion:

"Judging from the stills, the emotions are quite convincing. This newcomer is got something."

"How was the live performance? Anyone who saw it, what do you think?"

"I was on set. Zhang Qilin acted really well, and he cooperated very well with his co-stars. He doesn't seem like a newcomer at all."

"I feel like I can go far in the theater world, and I look forward to my future works."

With the addition of genuine audience testimonials, the topic's popularity has further increased.

The next morning.

9:00

Lu Man, deputy general manager of the Weibo business unit, was in her office listening to her subordinates report on various data related to Zhang Qilin.

"Mr. Lu, Zhang Qilin's account has gained 82 new followers so far, and the total number of followers has now exceeded 200 million."

The hashtag "[Zhang Qilin's Stage Debut]" has garnered 823 ​​million views and 4.7 discussions.

"It is worth noting that in the discussion, the proportion of genuine interactions from non-fans who control the comments has risen from less than 10% initially to nearly 45%, and positive and neutral comments dominate."

Lu Man looked at the computer screen:

"What about the fan demographics? Besides those who are just there for the spectacle and focus on looks, is there any other data?"

The subordinate introduced:

"Based on backend sampling and keyword analysis, approximately 28% of new followers were interested in tags related to drama, performance, Beijing People's Art Theatre, and stage..."

Lu Man nodded, a satisfied look on her face.

The fact that a theatrical performance, which is not a large-scale commercial promotion, can gather a group of people who are interested in the business itself means potential and sustainability.

Zhang Qilin was more outstanding than she had expected.

They have a professional background, a personal growth story, and a good rapport with the audience.

Speaking of audience appeal, she looked at the live photos of Zhang Qilin on the screen.

I don't know why, but it gives me a strange sense of goodwill.

These are just photos; if videos could be played, they would surely attract even more attention.

The reeds indicated:

"Inform Meng Tingyun to appropriately increase the exposure of Zhang Qilin's new drama preparation, and to organize some related activities. Pay attention to the methods used, and focus on highlighting his stage performance and dedication to his profession."

"Understood, Mr. Lu."

During lunch, Meng Tingyun introduced Zhang Qilin to:

"Your performance on stage yesterday was excellent... President Lu hopes to release more photos of you preparing for your new drama to maintain the buzz."

Zhang Qilin nodded.

He knew the data performance was excellent, and the bonus had just been credited to his account.

[Rewards: Luck Value +5, Popularity Fragment +1, Detail Reversal Talisman +1]

He checked the time; it was only 12:30.

There was still some time before the first gathering of the "Rickshaw Boy" cast in the afternoon, so he planned to go back to the rehearsal hall on the first floor to rest for a while after dinner.

Just then, my phone rang.

Zhang Qilin picked it up and saw that it was Jing Tian, ​​which surprised him.

Jing Tian is busy filming the Warring States period, so how come she has time to call him?

Although he found it strange, Zhang Qilin answered the call anyway.

Before he could speak, Jing Tian's aggressive voice came through the receiver:

"Da Lin, you owe me two meals. This time, I'm going to eat from the 21st floor of Pangu..."

Zhang Qilin was filled with questions. What? He owed two meals and the 21st floor of Pangu?

He quickly interrupted Jing Tian's ordering process:

"Stop, stop~ Sweetie, why do I owe you two meals?"

Just kidding, if you don't stop him, his wallet will fly away.

Jing Tian said with a smile:

"Did you have a performance last night?"

"Yes, what's wrong?"

"You didn't even tell me beforehand, so I couldn't send you a flower basket to congratulate you. I only found out from the trending topics. If this gets out, what will people think of me?" she said righteously. "Tell me, shouldn't you treat me to a couple of meals to make up for my wounded heart?"

"I only received the notification the night before last, that I was a last-minute replacement," Zhang Qilin explained. "I was so focused on rehearsals that I didn't have time for anything else."

"Will anyone listen to my explanation?" Jing Tian asked lightly. "They'll just say, 'Jing Tian, ​​you're so stingy. You didn't even send a flower basket to your friend's performance. To compensate for any damage to my reputation, I can't skimp on two meals.'"

This sounded reasonable, but Zhang Qilin knew that Jing Tian was trying to get back at him for the two meals he had ripped off last time.

He replied with a smile:

"Then how about we use the two meals at the Great Hall of the People to replace these two meals? Wouldn't that count as a parallel arrangement?"

"One thing at a time!" Jing Tian's voice revealed a hint of smugness, as if she had finally won a round. "I'll treat you to those two meals at the Great Hall of the People when I get back. As for these two meals, you can't escape them either."

Seeing that he couldn't change Jing Tian's mind, Zhang Qilin smiled and nodded:

"Okay, we'll go eat there when you're done with this busy period."

"That's more like it," Jing Tian said casually. "By the way, you've been getting a lot of attention these past few days. The director wants to contact you to help generate buzz for the movie. You can decide for yourself; don't feel awkward just because I'm on set."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Qilin realized that this was the real reason Jing Tian had called.
