At the end of December, Feiniaoshu suddenly began a large-scale promotion of a web drama. The female lead was Xu Dai, who was on the verge of leaving the circle and infamous, and the male lead was an actor whose na wasn’t well-known but looked familiar. As for Ye Qiu, although there had been scandals about him before, since he was never very famous, the initial attention on him was mostly praise for his looks.
However, this drama was, after all, a web drama, and a suspense-solving one at that. It’s not that netizens were picky; it’s just that Zhongcai Country hadn’t been great at producing such series in recent years. The trailers often seed exciting, but most of the ti these shows turned out to be full of romance between the male and female leads, making them tasteless and making viewers want to fast forward.
But this ti, Feiniaoshu made the trailer very compelling, so so netizens were ready to watch on schedule, including so of Xu Dai’s haters.
At eight in the evening, "Murder Case" went online as scheduled. Since it was the first day of the broadcast, four episodes were released at once.
At eight o’clock sharp, by rights, there should have been reviews about the show quickly available. But strangely, the impatient haters and bystanders saw no news at all.
Could the drama be so bad that no one wanted to bother criticizing it?
It shouldn’t be, though. Aren’t there small bloggers who gain attention by mocking such ’God’ dramas? There should definitely be so news!
What they didn’t know was that anyone who watched the show seriously had no mind for anything else. The plot was too tight, the events too intense, and at the end of each episode, it seed the male lead had found a clue about the killer, but the beginning of the next episode would only bring more questions, making the plot utterly enigmatic.
But undeniably, these events were very logical, which is why it attracted so many people to keep watching without distraction, without comnting or doing anything else.
At eleven-thirty, just enough ti to finish four episodes, the minds of binge-watchers were filled with one big question mark—was that it? Ending at the most crucial mont?
Who is the shadow behind the male lead? Is it the murderer? Will the male lead encounter danger?
Because the previous plot was so convoluted, no one guessed the truth, and they were frantically comnting in the discussion section:
"Director, co out and tell who the murderer is. Spare you no death."
"If more episodes aren’t released, don’t bla this monk for sending a knife."
"I’m going crazy! Are all current editors so talented? Who has resources? I’m offering a hefty price to buy."
"I must say, Xu Dai acted really well this ti. I used to think of her as soone into glamorous scoring, but with such good acting, why didn’t she just take proper roles and hit it big before?"
"I don’t care anymore. After watching these episodes, I’m a fan of Xu Dai, regardless of her past scandals. I’m not listening."
"I just checked; the actor playing Officer Zhang is actually called Chen Hesheng. He’s been in so many familiar dramas before. How did I not recognize him right away?"
"Above comnter, it shows the actor has good skills. Each role, a new image. That’s a true veteran actor."
"Officer Zhang is so manly. Does anyone else keep rewatching the scene where he jumps into the river to catch soone and cos ashore soaked?"
"Yes, yes, yes, I asured at least six-pack abs. I’ve already screenshot it for a screensaver. Anyone interested?"
"!!!"
"Give the picture, and I’ll spare your life."
The following cries filled the air, predicting how Chen Hesheng would attract fans and beco hugely popular because of this drama.
"Am I the only one who loves little brother Bai Song? His non-verbal, introverted personality is so appealing that it makes you want to spoil him inside. The sibling relationship is really enviable."
"The scene of the little brother painting in the park, even little birds stopped by. Were they also drawn to his beauty?"
"Where did the director find this treasure of a boy? His looks match Xu Dai perfectly. Truly, divine-looking siblings."
"I’m not concerned about the actors; I only care about when the next episode will air. I’m going crazy—can’t sleep, what to do?"
"Above comnter, you can’t suffer insomnia alone. I’ve already recomnded it to my family and friends."
"My friend is watching it now after I told her it’s good. She didn’t even respond when I called her. Secretly delighted... can’t endure alone."
After eleven-thirty, comnts about "Murder Case" rapidly increased online, and simultaneously, the three main actors began gaining a large number of fans. Since it was indeed a good drama, many film critics genuinely recomnded it.
Therefore, by the next day, those who hadn’t watched the drama were a bit stunned. Why, after just one night’s sleep, was there news about "Murder Case" everywhere? Who was murdered? Was the killer caught?
So couldn’t resist their curiosity, and so didn’t want to be without a common topic with friends, classmates, or colleagues, so they all started watching on Feiniaoshu. Once they started, they couldn’t stop.
By the ti noon arrived, the number of people planning to send knives to Feiniaoshu had sharply increased.
As Feiniaoshu, who had the insight to recognize pearls, they were not worried at this point, but rather extrely excited. Their website had been lukewarm for years, frequently suppressed by competitors. Now they could finally hold their heads high.
Witnessing the charm of this drama and to draw even greater traffic, they began even grander promotions. A web drama, and several main actors actually received roadshow invitations, along with invitations to several variety shows. It could be said that the entire crew beca wealthy overnight.
However, not everything was developing positively. With so many people watching, black material on several main actors was dug up.
The male lead Chen Hesheng was relatively fine. He had always been low-key, so the fire point wasn’t on him, but for Xu Dai and Ye Qiu, it was disastrous. Old news was brought up again, even more serious than before.
Xu Dai’s previous team wasn’t great; they only wanted to take shortcuts to make quick cash. At that ti, Xu Dai also needed money, so she didn’t refuse. Those glamorous announcent reports and drinking company information were real. You could say she was dragged out for public punishnt again.
Especially the actresses she had previously outshone but who were now more famous than her, their fans’ combativeness, needless to say, was fierce. Therefore, there were ssages everywhere on the internet telling her to get out of the entertainnt industry.
However, this drama indeed gained her so fans. Xu Dai not only has good acting skills but also a great appearance, so her fans began to fight back.
So what if she outshines others? Xu Dai is prettier than your idol anyway. What about drinking company? Your idol just hasn’t been exposed yet. Besides, Xu Dai never denied it. Your idol has been with so many boyfriends, is she so pure?
In short, Xu Dai is becoming more popular with more argunts, and having gone through so much, she now faces these ripples calmly.
