Chapter 689 Replay Rate
The first promotional event after arriving in Xizhou surprised and delighted the entire crew.
Before going on stage, each of them was puzzled by the large number of people present.
In their imagination, these people were either arranged by the authorities, invited by the organizers, or simply wanted to join in the fun because similar events are rarely held here.
In short, it's unlikely they are a 'TV series fan'.
But once they were on stage, they felt a pure passion that was unadulterated by anything else, and their resolve wavered.
However, after several interactions with the audience, their guesses were completely overturned.
How could someone who is simply hired or just there for the fun of the show possibly know the plot of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" inside and out?
Moreover, it's not just one or two people who can answer most of the plot-related questions, but the majority of people!
Even the little children inside can answer a few questions with their innocent and childlike words.
"I came with my mom and dad!"
"Our whole family loves watching it!"
"I know this is Brother Jing, and that's Rong'er..."
A child's reaction cannot be "bought" with money.
Not only can they recount some of the plot, but they also recognize almost all the characters.
I have absolutely watched this show.
After confirming that everyone who came was a true 'drama fan,' the main creative team members, who originally had no confidence in this promotional event, all became incredibly enthusiastic and engaged in the interaction.
Their few days in Xizhou only strengthened their belief in Zhao Yang and Tang Yan's words.
—Sister Zhao and Brother Tang are right. They should just do whatever the company tells them to do!
At the same time, the 'hot publicity' in the southwest region of Xizhou was quickly spread through major media outlets.
In particular, the first promotional event the crew attended in the five major regions of Southwest China, and the video of it being filmed on site went viral on social media in less than a day.
But the reason wasn't that the show was particularly popular.
Other production teams or entertainment companies are too busy suppressing them to sit idly by and wait for Tangxing's dramas to rise to prominence again.
The fact that the promotional video became a hit was entirely due to skepticism.
The person was probably attracted by the tag "West Continent". After clicking on the video, they found that the audience members looked no different from people from the three continents of East, West, North and South, so they started criticizing without hesitation.
Ironically, this person isn't entirely unknown online.
He is a social media influencer with millions of followers in North America.
He is still considered a notorious troll by many.
He had previously been publicly warned by the authorities for making materialistic remarks such as "even with a low level of education, one can still earn nine figures a year" and for certain flaunting behaviors.
But that didn't stop him from becoming even more famous.
His mindless attack on the production team's promotional video has pleased countless people.
Therefore, it can be said that he could easily gain a large following.
[Aren't most Westerners supposed to be blond and blue-eyed? These people look like Easterners; they probably just threw together an event somewhere in Eastern Continent and used so many extras.]
[Why not make it a little more serious? This is too perfunctory.]
[Who would believe this terrible show has so many viewers? The ratings suddenly skyrocketed; they must have bought the data, right?]
Who watches martial arts dramas anymore? If there's going to be any hype, it shouldn't be in the martial arts genre!
[Although I dislike this blogger, they were right to criticize this time. Their fabrication was unprofessional; they clearly don't treat ordinary people like human beings.]
……
The sudden accusations and questions left Tangxing Entertainment's public relations team speechless.
They wanted to ask in return, if the Western Continent is full of blond-haired, blue-eyed people, then what about the Korean and Japanese communities? Do they no longer exist?
Before you start criticizing, don't you need to learn some basic common sense?
In short, the internet celebrity's public questioning was truly baffling.
In response, Lu Wantang stated:
"With so many people across four continents, there's bound to be a portion who aren't quite right in the head."
No wonder he's the kind of person who openly flaunts his wealth and constantly spouts the idea that you can make a lot of money even with a low level of education.
This is not to say that it cannot be said, nor is it false to some extent, but as normal public figures, they would not make such remarks.
However, these criticisms are easy to handle.
Rather, it's more accurate to say that it came at the perfect time.
The questions raised about the promotional event video appeared on the trending topics list less than half an hour before Tangxing Entertainment and the production team issued an official response.
Along with them, the official bodies of the five southwestern regions of Xizhou also issued statements.
People in that area couldn't help but speak out.
[Who says everyone in the West is blond and blue-eyed? Are we not human too? Some ignorant idiots shouldn't go too far.]
[Our Southwest region may not be very developed, but our population is definitely substantial! Isn't it a bit disrespectful to just ignore us like this?]
[As someone who attended the promotional event that day, I can confidently tell you that this drama is incredibly popular in our five major southwestern regions! It's undoubtedly the number one drama of the year!]
[This is a landmark building in the southwestern central city, yet it's being mistaken for Dongzhou???]
[I woke up to find that people in the Southwest District weren't being treated like human beings! I'm furious!]
[Were all those people at the promotional event extras? Then why didn't I get a single penny in pay? And I even bought a ticket!]
[If I had known the event was this popular, I would have checked it out.]
……
With official intervention and netizens from five major southwestern regions expressing their doubts, the online celebrities immediately deleted their Weibo posts.
But it's too late.
His account was permanently banned for posting controversial remarks that were detrimental to intercontinental unity.
This is truly gratifying!
Thus, the "Legend of the Condor Heroes" crew's promotional trip to Xizhou was a huge success, and the show became a hit beyond its original scope.
Videos featuring audience interaction and children's innocent remarks were shown to the public.
[They're all so enthusiastic; they're not just extras, they're genuine fans of the show.]
[I think I even saw an old man holding a banner! They've got men, women, young and old all represented; Tang Xing's new drama is something else!]
[Most of the viewership ratings in Xizhou come from these few regions, right? Wuxia dramas are very popular there.]
[Let's not talk about that. To be honest, I'm from Nanzhou, and my family has decided that from now on, we'll only watch "Tang Xing" on Sundays. They all say it's really good.]
[I also think it's good. Don't just parrot what others say, go see it for yourselves. It's definitely a very different kind of martial arts drama.]
[It turns out the film crew was invited by the local authorities. I thought they were out of their minds, insisting on going to Xizhou only to be rejected. Now it seems I was the fool.]
……
After this incident, the impression that the production team was "deliberately hyping" the show was greatly changed, and more and more people became interested in the show.
The episodes that have already aired have been rebroadcast very frequently.
It even once seemed poised to surpass dramas like "Asking Immortals".
