chapter 85
At eight o'clock in the evening, Meng Youcheng lay in bed.
Jiang Yuming came out of the bathroom, dried his hair with a towel, and said, "Uncle, let me take a look at the script first. If you're tired, you should rest..."
The man didn't reply; instead, he took out his phone.
Tomorrow is a two-mentor competition, and Fang Tingting and Ji Lin have been drawn together...
The general format is that each team of 25 people will perform in two separate films/TV shows, with eliminations based on votes. The bottom ten will be eliminated.
The role Jiang Yuming chose happened to have scenes with Situ Ming, which is why Fang Tingting told him to be careful.
Situ Ming is currently the actor with the most votes, and most viewers will pay attention to his scenes, which is a good thing. If Jiang Yuming performs well, he can gain even more fans...
Conversely, if the performance is poor, it will be magnified by fans and ultimately lead to elimination.
Meng Youcheng played with his phone, somewhat confused...
Why did Situ Ming receive so many votes?
He started as an idol, is a newcomer, and has no film or television works. Why has he become the undisputed number one at this stage?
Even if his acting skills are very good, it shouldn't be this outrageous, right?
The man accidentally clicked on Weibo, and what caught his eye was a trending topic, the gist of which was...
[Idol Producer contestants can also act well!]
Meng Youcheng clicked on it and took a look...
This post was directed at Situ Ming, and included several photos of him. The content was roughly as follows...
[It's true I'm an Idol Producer, but who says Idol Producers can't act? Who says Idol Producers have no acting skills? Who says Idol Producers can only sing and dance? I'll prove to you that I can not only sing and dance, but I can also act, and my acting skills will win me the championship! I will definitely not let those who like me down!]
It includes many pictures...
Besides, what other efforts did he make to participate in this variety show?
This trending topic has been stuck in the news for so long; it's probably been deliberately bought...
It's obvious without even thinking that it's Situ Ming.
But I never expected him to be so resourceful!
There were many comments, with varying content, including praise, support, and criticism. However, the criticism subsided considerably the moment Situ Ming's acting skills were revealed.
What should we do?
Meng Youcheng glanced at Jiang Yuming beside him...
We need to find a way to drive some traffic to him!
This not only troubled Meng Youcheng, but also meant that although he had chosen a major related to the entertainment industry in college, he did not get into the entertainment industry after graduation for some reason...
I really know nothing about this.
perhaps……
The man opened WeChat and found Xia Chunian...
[Meng Youcheng: Have you been busy lately?]
[Xia Jie: What's up? It's not about that idol trainee from your company stealing Mingzi's thunder, is it?]
The man was somewhat shocked. "As expected of you..."
[Meng Youcheng: You already know that?]
[Xia Jie: Don't worry, at 8:30, a trending topic will top the list, guaranteeing it will steal all his attention! You'll have to pay for the trending topic I bought, okay...]
Meng Youcheng: OK!
……
Meng Youcheng keeps a close eye on Weibo...
At 8:30, a new Weibo post indeed reached the top...
Who says popular celebrities are only good-looking?!
The man clicked on it with a puzzled look; the content was roughly as follows...
There are many popular celebrities these days, and most people say they only have good looks and no acting skills. But is that really the case?
Later, she listed many examples of how popular celebrities have overtaken established stars to become truly talented ones…
This resonated with many fans...
At the end of the article, a sentence was left...
[That's not all. Recently, I've been watching a variety show called "Acting Skills Showdown," and actor Jiang Yuming is a perfect example. Many people are drawn to his looks but overlook his acting skills. However, if you observe carefully, you'll find that his acting is truly impressive and shouldn't be ignored.]
The content just went viral, and the number of discussions immediately exceeded 10,000...
Sister Xia, having been involved in the fan circle before, knows a lot about these things. Some celebrities have great acting skills, but because they are too good-looking, they are always overlooked, and people say they rely on their looks, and they are constantly ridiculed by haters...
Therefore, these remarks immediately attracted the attention of most young men and women in the fandom, and quickly became a trending topic...
Jiang Yuming would naturally be the biggest beneficiary...
His votes skyrocketed, instantly making him the top vote-getter for Fang Tingting's team.
"Uncle... what are you looking at?"
Jiang Yuming walked over, sat on the edge of the bed, and gently touched the man's face. "Why are you smiling so happily?"
Meng Youcheng naturally wanted to tell him about this joy...
But on second thought, the youth are currently quite resistant to using resources for this kind of operation...
Never mind... it's better not to say anything.
"Sister Xia said... she's so bored there all by herself, and asked us when we're going back?"
Jiang Yuming's smile froze, her hand still gently stroking the man's cheek. "Sister Xia... are you this happy just because I sent you a message? I haven't had one in so long..."
"Stop...!"
Meng Youcheng interrupted him, "I laugh with you every day, don't say I don't laugh, don't try to slander me..."
"But, Uncle...you don't know..."
The boy said, somewhat aggrieved, "You were laughing so happily just now. I rarely see you laugh like that. That genuine smile makes me really jealous. I'm really jealous..."
Meng Youcheng raised his hand and patted his head. "You brat... if I don't laugh, am I supposed to cry? Besides, when have I ever not laughed happily? Do I need to pretend?"
"But……?!"
The man waved his hand. "No buts. Go read the script. After you're done, go to bed early. You have to get up early tomorrow..."
Before he could finish speaking, the boy stood up, hugged the man's forehead, and kissed him. "Okay..."
……
Xia Chunian's trending topics have been going on for a long time, so she doesn't need to buy any traffic at all. In addition, Xia Chunian's identity on Weibo is particularly special...
How so?
She has a bunch of followers, who are netizens who spend all day learning how to insult others from her. After learning that their respected Sister Xia was promoting a celebrity named Jiang Yuming, they all joined the fray, trying to attract attention everywhere...
Of course... they will be careful not to go to places where they shouldn't be diverting traffic, but... they will never let go of any place where they can divert traffic.
Jiang Yuming has been trending on social media for a long time...
There was even a separate trending topic for it, which was 【Jiang Yuming】.
The competition took place on the second day...
Before the match began, Situ Ming made another sarcastic remark, adding, "What do you mean by winning fair and square? Don't you also have to pay to trend on social media?"
Meng Youcheng's heart jumped into his throat...
Jiang Yuming replied with a smile, "I learned it from you."
Has he been keeping an eye on Weibo?
Meng Youcheng suddenly became suspicious...
The boy once told himself that he had two personalities and he didn't want to become the second one.
But it seems that he is gradually exploring the very direction he hates the most.
The performance begins...
The two began their duel, neither gaining the upper hand...
The trending topics online were constant, with the content constantly changing. In fact, within just half an hour of the start, there were already numerous entries related to the two of them...
But at the crucial moment, Situ Ming's acting in one scene suddenly collapsed...
It seems like they didn't quite get it right?
Jiang Yuming seized the opportunity, relentlessly using his expressive eyes to relentlessly dominate in his own domain...
The topic started trending online, and the boy's votes surged...
Although Situ Ming made a mistake, it didn't prevent him from having a good fan base...
The performance has ended...
Jiang Yuming received the most votes, while Situ Ming was pushed to second place.
"I lost..."
Situ Ming looked at them with a smile, "Looks like... I guess I've lost this first round?"
Jiang Yuming turned his head to look at him, "You're very capable, but I'm sorry, your opponent is me, so..."
"Don't make any big claims yet..."
Situ Ming smiled at him, "We'll meet again later. I hope you can beat me then, just like you are now, but probably not, because I'll be very serious in the next few matches..."
"I will prove to you that I am better than you and more suitable to be Mr. Meng's artist."
As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Yuming's face darkened, but he still forced a smile. "Then we'll wait and see."
Meng Youcheng looked at the two of them, somewhat confused...
Situ Ming seemed to have thrown the game in just now...?
he looks like……
【Ding dong...】
Meng Youcheng took out his phone and glanced at it...
[Boss: How was it? Jiang Yuming almost lost just now, but luckily I called Situ Ming and let him win, otherwise he definitely wouldn't be in first place now.]
I knew it...!
"What's wrong, Uncle?"
Meng Youcheng smiled and shook his head. "It's nothing."
……
Three weeks have passed, and during these weeks, the elimination process has been ongoing...
It's just internal elimination within the team; a team that originally had 30 people now has less than five.
Jiang Yuming, with her outstanding acting skills and stunning looks, has firmly secured first place...
Situ Ming remains in second place, and the two of them have been trending on social media for a long time, leading to a global war between their fans...
It's the same old trick.
Tomorrow is the semi-final...
This casting process was decided by votes. The player with the most votes will play the male lead, the player with the second most votes will play the second male lead, and so on...
Jiang Yuming was originally a shoo-in for the male lead...
But the vote count on the second day was different...
Situ Ming received the most votes.
