Artists under the Rebirth of the Coal Boss

Chapter 121 explodes across the internet!

The first season of "The Swindlers" suddenly went viral online with its silent power.

By the sixth episode, the show had garnered over a million views per episode, and the entire season had accumulated over ten million views, making it the hottest online drama of 2009 on Youku, PPStream, Ku6, and Tudou!

According to the marketing department, major platforms such as Tencent, LeEco, and iQiyi have begun negotiations for cooperation.

According to data from the Jinyang Information Security Protection Center, pirated copies of the first season of "Mao Pian" were also rampant.

The Navy's technical development team captured data on pirated links on Baidu and Kuaibo, showing that the actual popularity of "The Swindler" even surpassed that of the TVB hit "Moonlight Resonance" which was introduced by Youku last year!
…………

Sina Entertainment, Sohu.com, and other media outlets launched special reports exploring its "urban-rural fringe aesthetics" and grassroots narratives...

Tianya Community film critic "Let Life Be as It May Be" posted in his column:

"A grassroots underdog story, this year's absolute dark horse! The No. 1 web series of 2009!!"

"I really don't understand those movies with no special effects, weak plots, and close-up shots that cost hundreds of millions... well... maybe they're just burning money..."

Wanwan, an art-loving internet celebrity known for her gentle and elegant style, posted in the Douban group "Mao Pian":
"How many people, like me, found themselves on a night when they were wrapped in a sheet, turned on their computer... and spent ages browsing through the files, only to discover 'The Swindler' and click on it with high hopes, only to find..."

"Once you keep watching, you'll definitely fall for the 'it's actually good' phenomenon. Although the picture quality is terrible, the plot is incredibly good... It's so realistic that it was reported by the public multiple times during filming..."

The movie channel's "Today's Film Review" program even did a special report on "The Swindler".

"The series, produced by a team of college students from Shicheng, is hailed as the pinnacle of web dramas in 2009 thanks to its superb script and narrative full of twists and turns!"

…………

In its previous life, a group of college students directed and acted in a low-budget web series using a DV camera. To this day, its rating remains one of the highest among web series, and no other series has surpassed it. It is also the highest level of television sequels.

This show's rating is on par with "Towards the Republic" and "Ming Dynasty 1566," while "My Own Swordsman" is 0.1 points lower...

Now, with the financial injection, equipment rental, and promotional resources from Tiger Shadow Star Brilliance, they are like a tiger with wings, truly unstoppable!

At the same time, the web series "Mr. Lei", "Sophie's Diary", "Peacock Blue" and "Hip Hop Trio" are facing the fierce offensive of the ultimate form "Mao Pian"!

Unbeatable, the entire army was wiped out!
........................

The huge success of "The Swindler" made Zhao Yihuan extremely excited. She opened a bottle of RIO Strong Refreshing and took a sip.

She wasn't lying!

Zhao Yihuan really loved being kissed on the neck with her hands around the neck after getting slightly drunk at night; that ambiguous feeling was truly driving her crazy!
It was absolutely insane! A chokehold! Leaving marks! Violent sexual tension in the dead of night!!

There's too much tax avoidance going on!
…………

After all that effort, the two finally ran out of energy.

Zhao Yihuan leaned against the pillows and said, "Xingzhuo, I think I'm famous!"

Lin Xingzhu lit a Furongwang cigarette and said, "Indeed, I've seen your Weibo followers increase dramatically every day. The last time we saw this kind of surge was when Han Geng, the first mainland member of Super Junior, returned to China."

Zhao Yihuan whispered, "I feel a little uneasy."

Lin Xingzhuo exhaled a puff of smoke and said, "Perhaps it's because he just ascended and his Dao heart is still unstable."

Hearing Lin Xingzhuo's light, clear, and slightly husky voice, Zhao Yihuan felt a little calmer. Then, thinking about her future career in acting, she asked:
"Will my future acting roles be locked out? Should I take on other roles to balance things out?"

Lin Xingzhuo looked at the smiling girl with crescent-shaped eyes in front of him, and was surprised that she had such good predictive ability.

…………

In her past life, Zhao Yihuan starred in the "Puberty" series, which became a huge internet sensation, and she's truly never strayed from that genre for half her life...

This is the most common problem for new artists after they become famous. Moreover, most of them cannot break free from the constraints of their roles throughout their entire careers, just like many singers who only have one hit song.

…………

The most successful in this regard is probably Zhu Yilong, another male artist from the Tiger Shadow Group.

In his previous life, he left "Guardian" and transformed himself through many roles. After all, he was a professionally trained actor and had some talent, unlike others who had nothing else to offer besides their famous roles.

…………

Zhao Yihuan said, "I've noticed that many male stars, after starring in BL (Boys' Love) dramas, go on to take on military dramas to shed their image. Should I also film some serious dramas?"

Lin Xingzhuo said, "But it's all for naught; it still depends on your own strength. Unless you encounter a destined character, it's useless. You should focus on accumulating this wave of attention first."

Zhao Yihuan suddenly asked again, "I saw that some fans on Mogujie shared my outfit photos from the show in the community, and they received a lot of likes and comments!"

"Given my style of dressing, I think a tattoo would look even better. Should I get one? Or should I get a temporary tattoo?"

Lin Xingzhuo picked up the ashtray from the bedside table, stubbed out her cigarette, and said, "I'm asking you to play a character with a bad-girl style, not to actually become a bad girl!!"

"In Japan, where it's legal to make action movies, it's hard to find a special actor with tattoos. In mainland China, where it's illegal to make action movies, it's hard to find a special actor without tattoos."

"Tattooed people all like to do illegal things!!"

Zhao Yihuan said, "Never mind then, I'll just buy a few temporary tattoos to play with."

Zhao Yihuan scrolled through various platforms on her phone for a while, then suddenly asked seriously, "Xingzhuo, doesn't our company have a navy? Are all of these things fake?"

Lin Xingzhuo glanced at Zhao Yihuan; this girl has a real talent for filming "The Truman Show"!

Lin Xingzhuo explained, "Jinyang Information Security Protection Center does not belong to Huying Xinghui Culture Media Co., Ltd."

"My sister-in-law, Ding Ye, and I will jointly establish a Tiger Eye Vision Group."

“My sister-in-law contributed cash, I contributed my Xsens shares, and Ding Ye contributed the Jinyang Information Security Protection Center as an asset.”

“Your traffic is real; the navy wasn’t involved this time.”

Zhao Yihuan breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's good..."

…………

Tiger Shadow Star Glory's marketing department originally wanted the Navy from Jinyang Information Security Protection Center to get involved...

However, this was met with strong opposition from Lin Xingzhuo, the director of public policy research.

The Jinyang Information Security Protection Center only conducted data scraping and database development through its technical development team.

Films and television dramas like "The Swindler," which are inherently strong and have received ample publicity and distribution resources, are not suitable for the central Indian Mahayana winning strategy outline.

The core tenet of Indian Mahayana philosophy is to promote and advocate around things that haven't happened yet, while avoiding mentioning facts that have already occurred.

In this way, you can engage in a back-and-forth debate with others, even leaving them unable to defend themselves and trapped in a self-justification trap!
Lying about established facts carries the risk of being exposed and proven wrong, which is detrimental to winning!
…………

Zhao Yihuan bought several sets of temporary tattoos on Meilishuo via her mobile phone, and then suddenly asked, "Xingzhuo, what do you think of my acting?"

Lin Xingzhu was playing the Bejeweled game on his phone when he successfully triggered the "Exploding Gem" event, clearing the screen.

Upon hearing Zhao Yihuan's question, Lin Xingzhuo fell silent.

This is a question that could cost you your life...
