Chapter 92 Impact 1: A Complete Reversal of Reputation
One of the impacts of Chapter 92 was a complete reversal of public opinion.
The key is reputation!
Fan Bingbing has never lacked popularity, but she lacks a good reputation. She's undeniably famous, but she also has a huge number of haters. Because of this dislike, even admitting that Fan Bingbing is beautiful in a conversation can lead to attacks on your taste.
Her reputation improved after filming the "Taken" series because people liked the movie, liked the character she played, liked the movie, and liked Shen Qing, so their impression of her changed.
But to be honest, it's definitely become even more popular, but the improvement in its reputation is actually limited.
But this time the situation seems different. It seems that too many people have become genuinely fond of Fan Bingbing, or more precisely, they have projected their love for the character onto the actress.
More and more people on the internet are starting to speak up for Fan Bingbing, and the phenomenon of a bunch of haters popping up whenever her name is mentioned is gone forever.
Of course, there will still be people who dislike her, and because of the large number of people, the total number is still quite large, but the number of people who immediately criticize her has suddenly decreased.
Because the wind has shifted, continuing to criticize like before will only result in backlash from netizens.
At the same time, the topic of "Fan Ye" was once again heated up. The combination of Song Lan and Fan Ye created a wonderful chemical reaction, and Fan Bingbing's public image was unknowingly reversed.
While taking on commercial performances in other cities to make money, Fan Bingbing also read online comments. Seeing that the situation had changed drastically almost overnight, she was so excited that she stopped taking on the remaining commercial performances and flew directly back to Beijing to reward Shen Qing, her great contributor.
Shen Qing could only enjoy it, since it was quite expensive for Fan Bingbing to fly back each time. Shen Qing owned 35% of Fan Bingbing's studio, and she also received a share of the money she earned by turning down commercial performances.
When the show was halfway through its run, the ratings on Beijing TV and Anhui TV rose to 2.8%, and the ratings on Anhui Satellite TV also reached 2.5%. "My Love from the Star" was a hit across much of China when it aired on ten local TV stations, and now that it has officially been broadcast on satellite TV, it has instantly become a nationwide sensation.
They even became popular overseas!

Chen Zhixi told Shen Qing that SBS, a South Korean television station, had contacted the company, saying that they really liked the drama "My Love from the Star" and wanted to buy the South Korean adaptation rights.
"How much are they willing to pay?"
"70, but it's negotiable, though I estimate it won't exceed 100 million."
"It's 70, but there's one condition: we have to choose one of their upcoming dramas and give them the adaptation rights."
"I don't think there will be any major problems. 'My Love from the Star' has already proven its worth in the market. Nobody knows whether a drama will be a hit before it airs."
Shen Qing remembered that "Temptation of Wife" was also a production of this BSB TV station, and it should have premiered this year. He really liked the Chinese adaptation of this drama, "Temptation to Go Home," and Ling Xiaosu's portrayal of Hong Shixian was simply a role model for us all.
In my memory, this drama was incredibly popular, on par with "Dae Jang Geum" and "In the Name of the People." No local TV dramas after 2000 could rival it.
It wouldn't be bad to buy it and keep it to pamper one's own woman later, and one could also make a profit along the way.
A few days later, Chen Zhixi reported that SBS in South Korea had agreed to their conditions and even provided a list of shows, which indeed included "Temptation of Wife," scheduled to air on November 3.
The Korean side only provided a plot summary, which was essentially letting Shen Qing choose blindly.
"This is it."
Shen Qing pointed to the translated film title.
Chen Zhixi leaned closer to take a look and saw that the boss had chosen an urban drama called "Temptation of Wife".
"Okay, I'll take care of it right away."
Zhao Liying finished filming her scenes in "The Dream of Red Mansions" and returned to the house Shen Qing gave her in the capital. Bored, she surfed the internet, focusing on content related to "My Love from the Star".
This is a drama produced by our own company.

"My Love from the Star" was great, but it didn't do one thing well. If it had done that, the show would have been a masterpiece.
[Let's not nitpick. It's already amazing that it was made this well. I've completely come to like Fan Bingbing after watching this drama.]
[Let me finish what I have to say. If Shen Qing were to play Professor Du in this drama, it would be absolutely amazing. Pan Yueming is still a bit lacking.]
[Holy crap, it's hard not to agree, it's absolutely true! If Shen Qing were to star in this drama, it would be absolutely amazing!]
Everyone knows Shen Qing is the best choice for Professor Du, but Shen Qing can't possibly play the role. What level is he? To play this? Isn't he ashamed?
Zhao Liying nodded as she browsed the comments. The netizens were right; the boss was indeed the best choice for Professor Du, and it was impossible for the boss to personally take the stage.
Few people born in the 80s haven't watched "My Fair Princess," and Zhao Liying is no exception. Everyone vividly remembers how popular "My Fair Princess" was back then. Zhao Liying feels that "My Love from the Star" has a similar feel to it, as the show generated a lot of buzz.
Pan Yueming and Fan Bingbing's status has skyrocketed.
Fan Bingbing, in particular, has had all her negative news from the past few years completely wiped out.
Zhao Liying thought: If my company can make a hit drama, then we can make a second one. I just don't know when it will be my turn.
Just because you sign with a company doesn't mean opportunities will automatically fall into your lap. Zhao Liying, who signed with Huayi Brothers but could only play minor roles, knows this all too well. But this time should be different, right?
After all, she had given him everything.
That night, Shen Qing slept at Zhao Liying's place. When she was leaving in the morning, she had already stepped out when she came back and said to Zhao Liying, "I almost forgot, there's an author named Gu Man who wrote a web novel called 'Shan Shan Comes to Eat.' You can look it up online. Our company has the adaptation rights, and you'll be playing the female lead."
"Wait a minute." Zhao Liying was so excited that she was a little flustered. After thinking for a moment, she finally remembered what she had just wanted to do. "I'll go find some paper and pen. Write it down, I'm afraid I'll forget."
"Silly girl, you can't even remember six words!" Shen Qing said with a touch of indulgence.
Zhao Liying only left Shen Qing with her back turned, saying, "She's just naturally clumsy."
A moment later, she returned with paper and pen, her big eyes wide with excitement and curiosity as she looked at Shen Qing. Shen Qing wrote down the six characters "Gu Man" and "Shan Shan Comes to Eat" on the paper.
"So it's this Shanshan." Zhao Liying said with a silly grin, holding the note.
"I'm leaving." This time, Shen Qing was truly gone.
After learning that the female lead had been chosen, Gu Man immediately asked Chen Zhixi for a photo of Zhao Liying. Upon seeing Zhao Liying's chubby face, she became uneasy and told Chen Zhixi that Zhao Liying was completely unsuitable to play Xue Shanshan. She said that readers would be dissatisfied and viewers would be scared away. She was the worst choice and was not suitable to play the female lead!
Gu Man was initially full of confidence in adapting "Shan Shan Comes to Eat" after the huge success of "My Love from the Star". However, she did not expect to stumble on the first step by choosing the female lead.
Zhao Liying finally heard the news and was very frustrated. Over the years, she has been told by many people that she is not suitable to play the lead role because of her round face. She did not expect that this would still be the case today.
Chen Zhixi asked Shen Qing how to handle it. The copyright had already been purchased, and how to film it was up to the buyer. However, no one wanted to clash with the original author before filming even started, as it would look bad on the surface.
"Call Gu Man, and give me the phone after she answers. I'll talk to her."
