Chapter 63

~7 min read 1,301 words

The "Legend of the Condor Heroes" crew entered a state of "peaceful years."

Because the "party engine" Meng Ziyi turned off her fire, the girls didn't gather together to chatter all day long, as if they had all suddenly entered a stage of gearing up to film.

However, the impact caused by the "hot broadcast" of "God of War Zhao Zilong" continued.

The actors who were caught and fiercely roasted were sweating profusely.

Lin Gengxin was even a bit envious of Im Yoona's poor progress in learning Chinese at this time, at least she couldn't understand the exaggerated roasting on the simplified Chinese internet.

He could understand it!

"Why is Lin Gengxin's mouth muscle control so strange when he says his lines?"

"What the hell is this plot? I want to curse every minute. The female lead's acting is enough; she should practice for thirty years before coming to cash in!"

"It's really too poor; Zhao Zilong is actually in this state!"

"Lin Gengxin acted Zhao Zilong into an idiot!"

"..."

The netizens' attack power was truly maxed out. It was fortunate that Lin Gengxin was scolded quite often while playing games, so he was somewhat trained.

But even so, he still couldn't laugh.

However, after Meng Ziyi's team played a hand of black-red marketing, the scolding she received was not much less than Lin Gengxin's, it was just mainly concentrated on Weibo.

In places like Douban, people wouldn't even mention her when scolding this show.

This show has nothing to do with a maid.

The goal was considered achieved. Except for the public opinion backlash from Im Yoona's fans, the current result was in line with the initial conception.

On one hand, this show was roasted in various ways, and the rating was quite mediocre. On the other hand... the ratings were actually still constantly rising!

The CSM52 city network ratings showed that after broadcasting for more than ten episodes, "God of War Zhao Zilong" was the undisputed number one in ratings for the same time slot!

It even had a significant "leap," jumping from a rating of zero point eight something to breaking one.

This couldn't help but make people's jaws drop.

How did it get more popular the more it was roasted?

Corresponding to the ratings, naturally, the on-demand views on online platforms also exploded crazily. Just Tencent Video alone had over a billion...

Looking at it this way, by the time it concludes, the cumulative views across the entire network might even hit ten billion.

And the fact that the ratings suddenly jumped a notch and successfully broke one naturally makes people want to explore the reason.

Isn't it a coincidence? The node where the ratings rose sharply was the episode where Bai Liang and Nazha hugged while riding horses in the sea of flowers.

It was rated by many viewers as the "most aesthetic episode."

Leaving aside the plot, just the composition, color, and lighting of that scene... the photographer who performed super-normally said that this might be the peak of his life.

Articles are born from heaven, and clever hands obtain them by chance.

Even the director couldn't bear to cut even a second more during editing.

So, even if it can't be said to be entirely their credit, they can at least be associated with it.

Anyway, the "professionals" at Mango TV gave such a judgment; after all, this CP received the least scolding and the most praise.

It couldn't be the ratings raised by that pair of Lin Gengxin and Im Yoona, right? Those two visibly couldn't spark any fire.

They didn't have the acting skills of Hong Shixian.

Viewers online who ship the Lu Bu and Diao Chan CP started to emerge in large numbers, but how much of this was marketing from Tang Ren's side is hard to say.

"It counts as letting this kid pick up a wave of heat for nothing..." Cai Yinong said, a bit unhappy.

This brat stirred up their Tang Ren "upside down," almost making Cai Yinong want to "destroy it if I can't get it," yet their company still has to help this guy market?

Damn it, Bai Liang didn't pay a single cent! It was all money spent by their Tang Ren!

Cai Yinong: My money!

Nazha: Hee hee hee~

Her phone screensaver has been changed; she uses the shot of the two of them in the sea of flowers.

Just when she was proud, Cai Yinong suddenly shot a glance over, "Nazha, you have to contact Bai Liang. Marketing and hype aren't just our family's business. Is he really just playing dead on his side?"

"He doesn't even have a company, just one manager, he doesn't even have an assistant, and no money..." Nazha counted on her fingers, saying reasonably.

"Alright, alright, no need to say more."

Cai Yinong was also impressed. No wonder this kid is so good at taking civil service exams. "Proletariat," right?

He is simply a copper pea that can't be steamed, boiled, hammered, or fried... a resounding one.

"He won't go far developing in the circle like this. Sooner or later he'll have to sign with a company. Could it be that there's a second sucker who can do 'selfless dedication' for him like our Tang Ren?" Cai Yinong sneered.

Nazha showed some thought on her face. That's true! Bai Liang is too casual about his career planning; he has no ambition at all.

This is currently the biggest shortcoming she has discovered in him.

Perhaps also the only shortcoming?

Just when Tang Ren was "selflessly" exerting effort for Bai Liang, Lin Gengxin's team suddenly "contacted" Bai Liang.

Yes, very formal.

This time they didn't let Lin Gengxin and Bai Liang chat directly, but contacted Yanzi.

Lin Gengxin's manager also didn't dare to let these two guys chat blindly together; it was too unreliable.

Actually, Yanzi is just a newbie manager, but fortunately, she has a bit of a feisty style, and she didn't show any fear when facing the "negotiations" from Lin Gengxin's team.

After talking it over, she ran to find Bai Liang, "Brother Bai, they said they want us to cooperate with the hype."

"Ah? Lin Gengxin and I can't ship a CP... it's too weird."

"Not shipping a CP, hyping brotherhood."

"How do you hype this stuff?" Bai Liang asked curiously.

"They said that as long as you spare some time tomorrow night to play games with Lin Gengxin, that's it." Yanzi's expression was also a bit confused; mainly, she had never seen such hype.

That simple?

Bai Liang certainly wouldn't refuse; he has always been easy to talk to.

Let alone someone with a good relationship like Lin Gengxin, even if others came to "please, please," he would likely agree immediately.

As long as it's not too outrageous... like shipping a CP with a man.

It's just a bit strange; wouldn't it have been enough for Lin Gengxin to tell him directly?

Playing games... they often play together.

After the "teams" on both sides reached an agreement, Lin Gengxin came to answer questions and resolve doubts himself.

"It's not that complicated. I'm live-streaming tomorrow night, as a favor to Young Master Wang's live-streaming website. He'll be there too, so we can just do it like last time."

"Didn't you want to hype some 'brotherhood'? Should I prepare some special lines?" Bai Liang subconsciously thought of some two-dimensional slang, eager to move.

"No, no." Lin Gengxin thought for a moment, "It must be normal! My manager and the others analyzed it; with your 'nature' as an emotionally stable little sun, just being yourself is especially fan-attracting. I'll take advantage of your light this time to divert some attention."

Emotionally stable little sun?

After the nickname "Great Immortal," Bai Liang has gained another strange title.
