Chapter 388: 「Xu Chujing, what are you afraid of?」

Zhong Lin was made to cry by Luo Mo again.

……..

This powerful team leader of the Review Department could no longer remember how many times she had been moved to tears by Luo Mo's works.

"Do I have to prepare tissues every time I watch his work?" Zhong Lin muttered while wiping away her tears.

Compared to Luo Mo's previous series, *Nirvana in Fire* was a bit longer.

But Zhong Lin watched it very quickly.

She felt as if she wasn't completing a task, but was truly fanatically binge-watching, the kind where you just can't stop.

She watched it whenever she had time, over and over again.

So much so that the members of her team were puzzled: "Whose project is being fast-tracked for review?"

"How many connections had to be pulled to make Team Leader Zhong Lin so urgent and in such a rush?"

These people would never guess that Zhong Lin was truly obsessed.

To be honest, she was a bit confused by the first few episodes of *Nirvana in Fire*.

There were too many characters appearing, the Character Relationships were hard to sort out at once, and she didn't know why Mei Zhangsu was interacting with them.

This was also one of the reasons why the show didn't explode in popularity during its early stages.

But once she patiently kept watching and the Drama began to get on track, she couldn't stop.

What left her most speechless was that this 【Blade-Blade Luo】 really didn't have the heart to kill off Princess Nihuang, played by Xu Chujing, this time.

He just killed himself instead!

I kill myself to liven things up for everyone!

As Zhong Lin watched through to the end, she truly felt immense heartache for Mei Zhangsu.

So much so that when she reached the finale, it was incredibly painful.

The most amazing thing was that for this type of show, the greatest charm clearly lies in the unfolding of the Drama.

She had already finished it once, knew the plot well, knew how it would develop, and what the ending was, yet she still wanted to watch it again!

Yes, just after finishing it once, she actually wanted to watch it a second time!

This was absurd.

Fortunately, Zhong Lin still remembered her job duties; she knew she was doing review work, not actually binge-watching.

Overall, there were no issues with this show.

So, Zhong Lin passed it immediately.

At this moment, she couldn't help but ask herself in her heart: "Zhong Lin, you aren't essentially a fickle woman, right?"

"But why do you fall in love with every male lead in Luo Mo's dramas?"

"Forget it, they're all played by the same person anyway, is that a problem?"

She guessed that after the *Sword Fairy* series and *Nirvana in Fire*, there would probably be a massive number of women unable to extricate themselves from Luo Mo.

Actually, she only guessed part of it correctly.

Because…….. men were the same!

……….

……….

"It passed review." Luo Mo let out a long sigh of relief after receiving the news.

Although Blue Star was much more lenient in terms of review than Earth, it was always more reassuring when things went smoothly.

"Then, some promotional work can proceed," Luo Mo thought.

He picked up his phone and called his studio staff, telling them to coordinate schedules with the few variety shows they had previously contacted.

At the same time, the news of the approval could be made public that evening.

As for television stations, Luo Mo would still prioritize Octopus TV.

Although Octopus TV wasn't as wealthy as the other major satellite channels, after the massive success of the two *Sword Fairy* shows, their various revenues had seen a significant increase.

Advertising fees were also much higher than before.

Therefore, if they gritted their teeth now, they could offer a price no lower than the other major satellite channels to acquire *Nirvana in Fire*.

The station head, Xu Guan, had even called multiple times, expressing his wish to personally take the high-speed rail to Shanghai to treat Luo Mo to a meal, and intended to bring a bottle of fine wine he had cherished for twelve years.

Under normal circumstances, a head of acquisitions running over personally would already seem incredibly sincere.

That the station head could go to this extent showed how much weight Luo Mo carried in his heart.

Many people in high positions could no longer reach this level.

As for Tencent, upon receiving the news that *Nirvana in Fire* had passed review, they immediately began promotional work.

Of course, they also simultaneously started promoting the new feature, 【True Color Audiovisual】.

Judging from the feedback given by netizens, the vast majority of people were looking forward to the broadcast of *Nirvana in Fire*.

There was no helping it; the previously released Poster and some leaked behind-the-scenes photos on the internet were simply too attractive.

"Begging for Mei Zhangsu's style! It's cold, I want to wear a cloak."

"Luo Mo, can you keep the period look permanently?"

"It's killing me, how can someone be so handsome in both period and modern outfits!"

"Jing is also too beautiful, heroic and spirited, with full aura!"

And in the evening, another piece of news Air Dropped onto the Hot Search.

Luo Mo and Xu Chujing would be taking other cast members of the *Nirvana in Fire* crew to the variety show *Happy Sunday* for promotion!

Many viewers still remembered that when Luo Mo and Xu Chujing were promoting *Sword Fairy*, they also appeared on *Happy Sunday* together, leaving behind a famous scene that drove the 【Mo Xu CP】 fans crazy:

——【Refusing Confession】!

The entire flow of this segment was originally supposed to be about confessing to someone and then being miserably rejected, thereby increasing the comedic effect of the variety show.

At the same time, if an Actor comes to this show as a guest, this segment is also for showing off acting skills, requiring the Actors to demonstrate their eye acting.

Like in that episode, an Actor from the "Sword of Fairy" cast chose a lucky audience member on set to confess to, and that audience member refused without a second thought, loudly declaring, "I am a Mo-born person, I love Luo Mo!"

But what about when it was Luo Mo and Xu Chujing's turn?

Xu Chujing said, "Luo Mo, why don't we... be together."

As a 【Best Actress】, her eyes were surely full of acting.

However, the direction of the bullet comments changed directly.

Watching others' eye acting, the audience would leave bullet comments saying, "Explosive acting skills!"

When it was Xu Chujing's turn to say it to Luo Mo, the bullet comments directly turned into, "True feelings revealed!"

The most fatal thing was that on that day, this man Luo Mo simply didn't play by the rules, lowering his eyelids slightly to look at the ground, as if feeling guilty.

After a full four or five seconds, he suddenly nodded forcefully and decisively, saying in a resonant voice, "Okay!"

Completely ignoring the rules of the game!

But that time, the entire show's online view count could be said to have reached last year's Peak Value!

That very night, it Air Dropped to the top of the Hot Search list.

Host Meng Xiaoguang even relied on such a brilliant operation in this game segment to win a huge wave of favorability for the 【Mo Xu CP】, being praised by them: "As expected of the strongest host in the entertainment industry!"

Therefore, many people, upon seeing that Luo Mo and Xu Chujing were going again, directly expressed: "I am already looking forward to it!"

At the same time, many people also joked, "This is broadcast at the same time as 'King of Love Songs'."

"For a moment, I don't know which one to watch first."

"Tong Shu and Fengge Group, run! The boss is coming to steal your ratings!"

Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it was Sunday.

The female Psychologist far away in Beijing turned on the projector on time, prioritizing watching "Happy Sunday".

Since this show is pre-recorded, the show's guest, Xu Chujing, is currently sitting beside the Psychologist.

"Let's watch 'King of Love Songs'," Xu Chujing said.

"I participated in the whole process of 'Happy Sunday', so you asking me to watch it with you is not very interesting to me," she explained.

The Psychologist didn't speak, just pushed up her Gold-rimmed Glasses, and then stared at her in silence.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Xu Chujing frowned, not intimidated in the slightest.

"Stop putting on a front. Your tone was off when you spoke just now, and your eyes were slightly evasive," the female Psychologist began to analyze, saying, "I think you don't want to watch this show with me not because you think it has no highlights, but because there is some content in it that you don't want me to see while I'm sitting next to you."

"And given your personality, you aren't the type who loves to explain. You would have just told me to watch 'King of Love Songs' directly, without explaining the reason as well," the female Psychologist added.

"In this way, only one thing can explain it, and that is that you are desperately trying to persuade me," she said.

"What are you talking about?" Xu Chujing turned her head away: "Are you having a professional obsession?"

"You're the one who invited me to be a guest, I'm not here to see a doctor," she said.

The female Psychologist instantly felt that she had guessed correctly.

"Was there a 【Refusing Confession】 segment in the show again?" she asked.

"No. Forget it, watch it yourself, I'm going home first," Xu Chujing stood up, making a move to leave.

The female Psychologist didn't even put on slippers, her feet in black silk stockings stepping directly on the floor, and then she grabbed Xu Chujing, saying: "You have nothing to do these two days, just watch it with me."

"Who said I have nothing to do? I... none of your business whether I have something to do or not!" Xu Chujing shook her off.

The Heavenly Queen Xu also didn't like wearing slippers, so she walked on the floor with her fair, tender jade feet, heading toward the door.

After putting on her coat, she left the female Psychologist's home.

Their homes in Beijing were in the same residential complex, very convenient.

Seeing Xu Chujing leave in a hurry, the female Psychologist wasn't annoyed, nor did she think to stop her.

She just wanted to watch "Happy Sunday" first.

Because, I am not just a Psychologist, I am also a CP fan-fiction writer!

I need to accumulate material.

This is my job content!

At least hundreds of thousands of people are waiting to see it, I have to be responsible to them, responsible to my readers.

"Ah, I am truly dedicated," she sighed.

These readers probably couldn't dream that this writer actually knows Xu Chujing herself, and is her good friend.

The female Psychologist pushed up her Gold-rimmed Glasses and said, "I must see what kind of content makes you so resistant!"

"At first, I thought it was playing the 【Refusing Confession】 game again, and then it was Luo Mo's turn to confess, and she had to answer."

"But she just said that this segment didn't happen."

"Heh, Xu Chujing, what exactly are you afraid of?"

(PS: First update, asking for monthly tickets at the end of the month.)
