248: Chapter 248 Assistance from Marketing Accounts

...

As for the trophy and such, Xia Zhi had already shipped it back to Beijing immediately.

It was said that it had already been placed in his office.

Ruan Xingyu's next schedule was to take a trip to Hong Kong to record the song for "a moment of romance".

No matter how reluctant they were to part, they had to separate for the time being.

However, the next time they met should be soon—their birthdays were only one day apart, so they decided to celebrate together at 12 AM.

Speaking of this, Ruan Xingyu's expression was very serious: "Promise me one thing."

Lin Chuyan was startled: "... So solemn? Tell me."

"Don't buy me a birthday gift."

"Huh? Why?"

"Because I can't think of what to buy you, hahaha." Ruan Xingyu laughed unreservedly, "So you don't need to buy me one either, we'll call it even."

"Is that... really okay?"

Truth be told, Lin Chuyan had been thinking about it for a long time, had considered several options, and was still hesitating.

"That's right. You can give gifts whenever you think of something on normal days. For birthdays, we'll just happily eat a cake together. Don't go through the trouble, don't wrack your brain just to come up with a gift. Yeah, that's what I think."

Such a good suggestion, Lin Chuyan agreed after thinking for less than two seconds.

He couldn't help but kiss her again: "Ruan Xingyu, I unilaterally declare that you are the best girlfriend in the world!"

"Oh, so actually you hadn't prepared a birthday gift either, right?"

Lin Chuyan: "..."

Defenseless.

...

Parting with Ruan Xingyu, Lin Chuyan returned to Anxi to continue filming.

However, there had been a few pieces of news in the past few days. When Wu Yue and Xia Zhi mentioned them to him, he really didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

One was that the October issue of the fashion magazine "EleganceEcho", which he had shot previously, had finally been released.

The pre-sale volume for this issue exceeded 450,000 copies within 24 hours, with sales reaching 18 million. E-Magazine was already printing more copies.

Naturally, this included the boost from his 6 Golden Melody Awards, which significantly enhanced his fame and influence.

But he had indeed already accumulated a large group of fans before this; whether they were music fans or movie fans, they were all supporting him with real money, and everyone saw that.

Take for another example, the Weibo topic #Lin Chuyan EleganceEcho Silver October Cover is Here# had nearly 80 million views, and related posts had accumulated over 320,000 reposts, comments, and likes. The WeChat Index for the term EleganceEcho skyrocketed by 500% day-on-day on the day of release, with the number directly hitting 24.83 million.

Whether a person is actually capable or not is not up to them to say; the market will provide a real reaction.

Just like this magazine issue, it naturally attracted widespread attention within the industry—everyone understood one thing: Lin Chuyan's commercial value was starting to manifest.

Upon checking, what? This person had endorsements before? There was actually one called "Chouchou" Snail Noodles?

The brand owner of Chouchou Snail Noodles had won big anyway. What is called having a sharp eye for talent? This is it! They secured him for 2 million for 2 years, a huge profit.

You have to know, at that time Lin Chuyan had only released one mini-album, and the online evaluation of his collaboration with Snail Noodles was "birds of a feather flock together".

And the reason why Chouchou Snail Noodles decided to cooperate with Lin Chuyan also had another reason, which was that Lin Chuyan had won a complete victory in the war of words with Entertainment Reporter Xiao Ba, trending on the hot search list several times in a row.

Xia Zhi had a playful smile: "Speaking of which, Brother, didn't this Entertainment Reporter Xiao Ba have a grudge with us?"

"Hmm?"

"They started posting about us on Weibo again these past two days."

Lin Chuyan was quite curious: "What are they exposing this time? Or are they scolding me about something?"

"Neither." Xia Zhi shook his head, "This time, they are heaping praise."

"What did they write?"

With Xia Zhi saying that, Lin Chuyan became even more curious.

Xia Zhi handed over his phone.

"Congratulations to Lin Chuyan for winning six awards at the Golden Melody Awards, but everyone don't forget, Lin Chuyan's more important identity is an actor.

That is to say, now that he is shining brightly in the music field, he is very likely to bring us more surprises in the field of Acting.

Let me share a few pieces of news: Lin Chuyan's upcoming movie "a moment of romance" is very likely to be scheduled for the New Year's slot, and the currently filming "pegasus 2" is highly likely for the Spring Festival Movie Season. Besides these two, there is also a crime drama "the knockout" waiting to be filmed, starring Zhang Wentang, with the specific broadcast time unknown.

Among these, the one I am most looking forward to is naturally "a moment of romance". As the male lead, the character is deep and complex; his performance in the play will undoubtedly become a major highlight of the film. Without a doubt, it will also be my first choice for the New Year's slot.

As for "pegasus 2", which is currently being filmed in full swing, because of his participation, it undoubtedly adds more highlights and expectations to the film. As for the Spring Festival Movie Season box office, personally, I don't think there is a need to worry too much. After all, today's Lin Chuyan is not who he used to be; he is no longer the ignorant person he once was.

We have reason to believe that whether in the field of music or Acting, Lin Chuyan will bring us more surprises and emotions."

Lin Chuyan looked a bit dazed.

But he felt there must be a trap in this.

Viewing it with such thoughts, he always felt that this guy had bad intentions—praising him as peerless under heaven, isn't that just putting him on a fire to roast?

What the heck? "a moment of romance" is fine, but the box office of "pegasus 2" is also being counted on his head? What if it flops when the time comes...

Xia Zhi: "Brother, keep looking down, there's more."

Lin Chuyan scrolled through the other party's Weibo again.

"Exclusive scoop: During the filming of "pegasus 2", Lin Chuyan obtained racing licenses for both cars and motorcycles.

Both are B-class licenses, not because his ability could only get a B-class, but because the highest a novice can get for the first time is B-class.

Thinking back to Fu Weijun's proficient Sign Language in "the long season"... Awesome, Brother learns a skill every time he acts in a play. What is dedication? Without a doubt, I think this is it.

How should I put it, I hope other top idol actors in the entertainment industry can follow his lead.

PS: Once again, I apologize to @Lin Chuyan. I was indeed blind before, I have already turned from a hater to a fan."

Damn, Lin Chuyan got goosebumps.

The more they praised, the more outrageous it got. And asking others to follow his lead? You kid, you're trying to attract hatred, right?

And apologizing again? Turned from a hater to a fan? Believing you would make me an idiot.

Xia Zhi nodded silently: "Brother, I checked, the video where they apologized to you and the Boss Lady is still there, but the Weibo posts exposing and scolding you don't know when they were hidden."

"Fine..."

Lin Chuyan increasingly felt the difference between himself now and before.

He was really too popular now. Sometimes, everywhere he looked, people were trying to ride his coattails. He wasn't afraid of the straightforward, aggressive spraying from Haters, but when these ordinary people couldn't find faults and just praised him, was he supposed to say thank you? If he wanted to open his mouth and scold them, he was afraid they would enjoy it... Yes, that was exactly the feeling.

Xia Zhi had the same thought: "Marketing accounts, that's just how they are, chasing traffic. Even if this account hates you, since so much time has passed and they still can't find any faults, they just figured it out. Brother, your traffic is too big now. Instead of going against you, it's better to join you temporarily and ride a wave of your traffic first. The higher they lift you up now, the harder they can stomp on you if you fall later. It's always like this; face and such aren't important to them."

Wu Yue patted his shoulder to comfort him: "Anyway, they are praising you heavily right now. The things you didn't want to show off, Entertainment Reporter Xiao Ba exposed them. How should I put it, your reputation is getting better and better anyway. You should search online, the netizens' sycophancy is so good, even I enjoyed reading it..."

"I can tell." Lin Chuyan looked at Brother Yue with contempt, "Brother, restrain yourself a bit."

Wu Yue chuckled, then suddenly remembered something: "Oh right, there's also that someone, Wawa, he is also praising you."

"Damn, again?" Lin Chuyan was a bit speechless.

What was this? Fake fans and real fans joining forces?
