390: Chapter 390, "The Raging Storm," is now airing!

...

Lin Chuyan and Ruan Xingyu, before the arrival of the "Sound of Nature Festival" in April, each possessed a new album that received rave reviews.

One was named "Ruan Xingyu", and the other was named "album".

They were essentially confessing to each other across the distance.

Some people even took Wawa's Weibo and went to ask Ruan Xingyu, and Ruan Xingyu herself directly posted a Weibo.

[The album is also known as "(To Lin Chuyan) album"~]

Sister is just that direct, with no concealment.

In one sentence, she hooked Lin Chuyan like a fish.

The Little Potatoes were fanning the flames even harder.

[Sister, did you want to name the album "Lin Chuyan" at first, but then discovered your boyfriend's first album was already named that, so you had no choice but to change it to "album"?!]

[Sister, your love confession is truly concise and comprehensive, hahahaha!]

[Get married! Get married! Get married immediately! If you aren't in a hurry, I am!]

[Lin Chuyan has posted so many Weibos these past two days, all promoting Ruan Xingyu's new album; he's working so hard, hahahaha]

[He specifically held a livestream last night to promote it, dying of laughter, I almost thought he was selling goods]

[My brother even sang "as you wish" a cappella; I didn't expect the male version to sound so good too, this song is truly amazing]

Also, showing off their affection didn't delay them from winning awards; given the quality of these two albums, it currently looks like they are going to dominate.

Regarding this, Wawa actually had another Weibo post afterwards.

[Family, from now on, we can start the mode of watching the show and eating melons. These two albums, "Ruan Xingyu" and "album", are ones that the three major Chinese music awards cannot bypass no matter what. Who is more just and fair? Let's wait and see!]

The number of likes on this Weibo even exceeded the previous one, showing just how unified the netizens' opinions are.

Discussing and discussing, many people discovered that, unknowingly, had Lin Chuyan already grown to this point in the music circle?

If, let's just say if, if both of these albums could achieve very good results at the awards ceremony...

Then what kind of famous scenes would there be at that time?

Also, when the "Ruan Xingyu" album was released last year, what did Wawa say at the time? Heavenly King coronation, next year?

Then what if Lin Chuyan also wrote an award-winning album for the Heavenly Queen?

To what height would this person's status in the music circle be superimposed?

Although the awards ceremony is still next month, after the "album" album came out, there have already been some articles and videos helping to build momentum for him.

It's not because he has that much charm, but just because writing about this generates traffic — praise or scold, fans love to watch, and Haters love to watch too.

However, all of this will have to wait until next month to be revealed.

The biggest thing tonight is that "the knockout" is finally going to premiere.

The broadcast mode is TV first, then online.

The TV station is broadcasting at 7:30 PM; being arranged in this time slot shows that it is still highly valued.

On the platform, it is at 10:00 PM, two and a half hours later than the TV station.

The benefit of broadcasting this way is that the TV station's advertising revenue is a bit better, though the platform side actually won't be affected too much — at this stage, those who watch TV and those who watch dramas on Tao Factory are not the same age group of viewers.

Two episodes every night, and it will be finished in 13 days.

Of course, on the platform, we'll have to see the response; if many people want to watch it, there will inevitably be some slick operations like members getting to watch the finale in advance...

In addition, Director Xu also revealed a piece of news to him: if "the knockout" can become popular, it is estimated that there will be "the knockout 2". After all, in the finale of the first part, the bad guy wasn't dealt with. You can tell from the first episode — people were sent from above to investigate, and even at the end, it wasn't explained clearly.

These are all plot holes waiting to be filled.

And how to make the villain not lose intelligence, the righteous side have brains, and the two sides fight wits and courage... that is the thing Director Xu needs to have a headache about.

Of course, the premise is that it can be popular... if it flops, who still has the mood to fill holes?

However, there won't be Lin Chuyan's role in the second part — he died at the end of the first part.

Lin Chuyan didn't say much, just told Director Xu not to forget to book the schedule with people early.

...

Before 7:30 PM, a small portion of Lin Chuyan and Zhou Ze's fans were already squatting in front of the TV.

Why not mention Zhang Wentang? Because the senior brother really doesn't have many fans. And, most fans will still wait for the 10 PM platform release.

However, with this wait, the batch watching TV has already come out with spoilers.

[Lin Chuyan is in the first two episodes, but he only appeared for a moment, right in the second half of the first episode!]

[Lin Chuyan's styling... how to put it, nerd styling.]

[The styling is not good-looking, but it can't block my brother's handsomeness.]

[Sure enough, he is the third male lead; the first two episodes are just the acting duel between the two male leads.]

[But do you guys feel that, although my brother only appeared for a moment, it doesn't affect the viewing experience, and this drama itself is quite good to watch?]

[Agreed, I watched it unknowingly.]

[Mainly because the acting skills of the two male leads are both very good...]

[Let's not even talk about Zhou Ze; Zhang Wentang is worthy of being Lin Chuyan's senior brother.]

Various drama reviews made the netizens who were still waiting for the platform release feel itchy.

Fortunately, when it reached 10 PM, a large number of viewers opened the video platform on time.

The beginning of the first episode of "the knockout" is 2021, and it starts with people from above coming to investigate the case.

This investigation took 20 minutes.

The audience is getting more and more curious, because the director tirelessly paved the way for 20 minutes, and in the end, it was actually just to introduce a name.

Borrowing the mouth of the person from above, he asked An Xin: "Just talk about, tell us about the Gao Qiqiang you know."

An Xin, with his head full of white hair, although originally had a sorrowful face, at least was still smiling, but after hearing this name, he immediately couldn't smile anymore. He looked at the camera, and his eyes gradually turned cold.

Time began to flow backward.

[An Xin's look is amazing.]

[The director knows how to create suspense, so going back to the past is the rise of Gao Qiqiang?]

[Gao Qiqiang is Gao Qisheng's older brother, right? When can my brother Sheng appear?]

Time quickly came to the year 2000.

The newly pasted spring couplets, lanterns hanging high... looking at the setting, it seems to be the New Year season?

At this time, An Xin was still a young man with a head of black hair, and there was no such indelible sorrow on his face.

He was full of energy.

The director is using different images to create suspense.

So, what made him turn into a head of white hair and lose his fighting spirit? Who exactly is Gao Qiqiang?

The director didn't let everyone wait, and Gao Qiqiang appeared immediately.

In 2021, Gao Qiqiang, who only existed in others' mouths and seemed to be a big shot, was currently being beaten.

[No, the one lying on the ground with blood all over his face is the future big shot? Are you serious?]

[Good, good, good, the director really knows how to film, it made me curious.]

[@Gao Qisheng, your brother is being beaten, where are you?]

And as the plot progressed, the audience found that this wasn't right; this future big shot is so pure, he has always been bullied.

What future big shot? This is just an ordinary person.

He is a fishmonger, he does business honestly, he is forced to pay so-called "hygiene fees", he goes to people's houses to give gifts just so his stall position won't be changed after the New Year, but he ends up being insulted and beaten up...

[Hurry up and stand up, Gao Qiqiang!]

[Curious about how he rose up later.]

[Teacher Zhang Wentang acts well, there are many details; after killing the fish, he talks to people and will use the fish tank water to wash his hands by the way. It's really too detailed, brother.]

No matter what future black boss you are, everyone only saw an ordinary person being beaten up on New Year's Eve and spending the New Year in the police station.

Unknowingly, the audience began to empathize with Gao Qiqiang...
