Go Ahead If You Can!
Chapter 14
At that moment, Bai Yu's phone suddenly rang. The familiar melody made him immediately recognize the caller's identity.
"Brother Long?"
"Xiaobai — —"
The moment the call connected, the two of them spoke almost at the same time and received each other's messages almost at the same time.
Bai Yu couldn't help but laugh. "It seems like we're having the same dream."
"Huh?
Isn't this a virtual reality online game? "Zhu Yilong asked seriously on the other end of the phone. Bai Yu immediately burst into laughter.
At that moment, the two of them finally felt like they had returned to the real world. They were also certain that everything that had happened before was not a dream.
The two of them agreed to return to the world of the movie at ten o 'clock tomorrow night. Only then did they hang up the phone and get ready to immerse themselves in their own work.
After hanging up the phone, Bai Yu looked at the phone screen. The date displayed on it was July 26, 2018. So many days had passed, but only a few hours had passed in the real world. Even the movie version of Soul Suppressing had just ended.
In the end, because of a fortuitous encounter, they had to start watching Soul Suppressing all over again. This feeling was really strange.
After washing up, the assistant knocked on the door and asked Bai Yu to go out for dinner and work. Bai Yu held his phone, stepped on the hoverboard, and went out the door, humming a song.
"Mr Bai is in a good mood today?" The assistant could not help but ask when he saw Bai Yu smiling.
"It's fine, it's fine."
Bai Yu said casually. He heard the assistant laugh out loud beside him. He turned to look at her. The latter was smiling and teasing him. "Did you learn Teacher Zhu's catchphrase?"
Bai Yu did not answer, but the corners of his mouth curled up even higher. After hanging out with someone for a long time, it was natural to be infected. He was very open-minded about this. Perhaps Brother Long would occasionally say "Indeed ~"!
This good mood continued into work. Bai Yu was in a very good state today. She almost completed all the scenes in one take. She adjusted her state very quickly even after a few NGs. Her efficiency was unbelievably high.
After finishing her work at night, Bai Yu returned to the hotel to remove her makeup and wash up. Only then did she have time to take out her phone and check her messages. She found that on the night of the 24th, Zhu Yilong had sent a video of him calling for Legend of the Demon Hunt Law, and it had been posted by Fa Hai's official Weibo account.
He casually clicked on the Like button and opened it. In the video, Brother Long put his palms together in a very serious manner and asked everyone to "please support Bai Yu. You must support Old Bai." He could not help but laugh out loud.
After watching the video, the takeout Bai Yu ordered arrived. As he ate his noodles, he scrolled through the comments on his Weibo and the comments left by the little angels in the Weibo account. As he scrolled through the comments, he suddenly saw a few discordant messages. In the afternoon, a negative comment about him appeared on the hot search list. It said that a drama he starred in a few years ago was competing with the main character.
At a glance, it was obvious that this trending topic was the work of marketing. Moreover, the main character of that drama had many fans. For a small role like him who had just risen to fame, his fans would definitely not be able to compete with those people.
Therefore, the wailing in the Weibo account was deliberately covered up by the fans with all kinds of other messages.
Upon seeing this, Bai Yu casually flipped through a few boards to appease the abused fans. Only then did he free up his hands to look at the relevant news. He realized that this negative comment was rising very quickly. In the afternoon, when the spark had just lit up, his fans were still trying hard to clarify the matter. However, in the evening, it became more and more intense. In a short period of time, it had risen from the bottom of the hot search list to the second hot search list.
How could they use a drama from a few years ago to hype it up with such poor methods? Bai Yu was so disgusted that he almost choked. He reluctantly scrolled through the relevant information and could not help but open Zhu Yilong's WeChat.
"Brother Long, tell me, a colleague who has already ended his collaboration with you is now trying to make his presence known. What kind of mentality is that?!"
After complaining, Bai Yu waited for a while. However, Zhu Yilong did not reply. He could not help but feel a little embarrassed.
He stared at the sentence he had typed and suddenly realized that he and Brother Long were colleagues who had already ended their collaboration. This sentence... seemed a little inappropriate.
Although the two of them believed that they had a good relationship, the fans of both parties had already started promoting the "separation" during the later stages of "Requiem". They also insisted that the two of them were "in the same boat" and that they would go their separate ways after the business hours. Now that he had asked Brother Long this question out of the blue, if it was interpreted as something else, then...
However, two minutes had already passed. He could not take back this sentence.
Bai Yu could only try his best to type a few words to salvage the situation.
However, at this moment, Zhu Yilong's phone showed that he was typing. Soon, he received a voice message:
"Aren't you tired from filming?
You still have time to think about this? "
There was a hint of a smile in his tone. It was obvious that he was in a good mood.
The corners of Bai Yu's mouth curled up subconsciously.
He deleted all the explanations he had typed for a long time and replied, "I'm not tired." Then, he asked tentatively: "Brother Long, are you off work too?"
Zhu Yilong: "Yes.
I'm in a good mood today. I rushed my scenes, so I can relax a little tomorrow. "
Bai Yu: "Oh."
Zhu Yilong: "If you have time, why don't you take a look at" Requiem "? We're going back tomorrow night. Time waits for no one. You should familiarize yourself with the plot earlier."
Bai Yu: "I was just about to take a look!
However, I still have to rush my scenes tomorrow. Otherwise, it'll be terrible if I can't finish it before 10 o'clock. "
Zhu Yilong: "Then go to bed early. Don't read it. I'll read the plot."
Bai Yu: "Don't!
How can I let you fight alone?
We have to do it together. "
Zhu Yilong: "Okay. Let's do it together."
After replying, Zhu Yilong did not reply again. Bai Yu did not continue either. When he heard the last sentence, he smiled and exited WeChat. He looked at his watch. It was almost 10 o'clock.
It was indeed time to sleep.
Bai Yu took one last look at Weibo. It was still in an uproar. His fans were trying their best to clean up the trending topics. However, compared to the professionals, their efforts were not enough. Furthermore, his family was in a mess to begin with. Countless passersby were involved in the matter and it had already climbed to the top of the trending topics.
Tsk!
Bai Yu scrolled through the trending topics and realized that other than the negative trending topics, Brother Long was also on the trending topics list. It was a topic where his fans had requested for him to give them 8 million yuan in benefits.
Compared to the bloody situation on his side, Brother Long's side was much more stable. Fortunately, the other party had only dragged him down and did not drag Brother Long into the mess. Otherwise, he would not have the face to face Brother Long.
He closed Weibo and decided that out of sight, out of mind. He casually opened Youku and planned to watch an episode of Requiem before going to bed.
...
At the same time, Zhu Yilong did not close his WeChat. In the small group he had created, his studio and Bai Yu's studio were in full swing discussing how to suppress Bai Yu's negative trending topics as soon as possible.
The current popularity was obviously caused by professional haters and fake reviewers. Most of Requiem's fans and Little Cosmos were just watchers. They definitely could not win against them. Instead, they could only continue to increase the popularity of the negative trending topics.
Xiao Xiaozhu: "There are too many people participating in this topic now. Professional haters and other fans are all here. We can't openly persuade the fans to ignore it. We can only think of ways to share the popularity."
Xiao Xiaobai: "I saw the eight million trending topics that you guys released, but that doesn't seem to be enough."
Zhu Yilong: "What should we add?
Start a livestream at this time? "
Xiao Xiaozhu: "My brother!
What time is it now? You want to start a livestream?
If you keep broadcasting, the other side will have to work overtime to widen your channel. Do you think it's realistic? "
Xiao Xiaobai: "I've already agreed on a few topics. I'll release them together later. It should be able to divert the attention."
Xiao Xiaozhu: "I'll do it too. If both companies are on the trending topics list at the same time, it should be able to divert the attention."
Xiao Xiaobai: "Thank you for your hard work. Let's do that!
Has the time been set? "
Xiao Xiaozhu: "They need to prepare. It's set at 10: 32."
Xiao Xiaobai: "Alright, I'll do it too."
10: 32?
Zhu Yilong stared at the number and looked at the time on his phone. He called his assistant over to take a photo of him.
"Brother Long, isn't this... a little too perfunctory?"
Seeing Zhu Yilong standing in front of the mirror in the changing room, taking out a thick gold pen and writing "8 million" on the mirror, the assistant did not know whether to laugh or cry. "Are you planning to use this to get away with the 8 million?
The fans won't buy it. "
Zhu Yilong did not answer. He just smiled and said, "Just take the photo. Use my phone."
The assistant nodded and found a suitable angle. With a click, he pressed the shutter. After confirming that the photo was usable, he returned the phone to Zhu Yilong. "Teacher Zhu, you should go back early too!
You'll be off work late today. You still have to film tomorrow morning. "
Zhu Yilong nodded and looked at the time on his phone. There was still time, so he decisively opened Weibo and started typing. After editing, he specially added his own Super Talk format, set the time, and posted on Weibo.
[# Zhu Yilong [Super Talk] # Pretending to get away with it [Laugh] [Laugh]]
At 10: 32, the Weibo post was posted on time. At the same time, the two studios' Super Talk appeared on Weibo's trending list.
# Zhu Yilong endorses Nongfu Spring #
# Zhu Yilong's quotes #
# Bai Yu pays attention to the format #
# The Best Bai Yu in the World #
# Bai Yu's Legend of the Sea #
# Bai Yu's Super Talk #
# Bai Yu, Streamer Bai #
#... #
Several topics were linked at the same time, causing the female ghosts of Requiem to explode on Weibo. Coupled with Zhu Yilong's Weibo post, which was obviously "cute to get away with it", the fans of both parties also exploded.
However, Zhu Yilong did not have time to see the consequences of all this. He was still worried that the popularity was not enough, so he privately contacted the marketing staff of Requiem and asked them to cooperate with him to divert attention.
Both parties had always been happy working together, so they agreed without hesitation. Not long after, the official account of Requiem also posted on Weibo, released a video, and tagged all the actors.
After this series of combo punches, the traffic on Weibo suddenly changed.
In less than half an hour, the black trending topic that was originally at the top of the list was completely defeated, and its popularity gradually fell to below the top ten.
His WeChat was also exploding at this time. The studio realized that he had posted on Weibo without informing them, so they directly privately asked him, "Why are you … I was just looking at the topic for a while, and you posted on Weibo at this time?
Aren't you afraid that Xiaobai's fans will say that you stepped on your good brother to get to the top?!
Why don't you think about the consequences?! "
"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing.
Tell them not to stop the topic. Stir it up once in a while. Since they've already done it, don't let the black trending topic cause any more ripples. "
