Becoming a top streamer is not accidental

Fans had been expecting "Who is the Real Murderer" to be released during the winter vacation, but it was unexpectedly scheduled for the Spring Festival. Although the film has a strong cast, led by comedy actress Wang Yuan and the latest double-awarded TV King Yu Chaoqi, people are not optimistic about its box office prospects.

After all, who would choose to watch a crime-solving movie on the first day of the Chinese New Year? It doesn't seem to fit the festive atmosphere, and it's even a bit unlucky. However, when the trailer of this movie was released, the situation changed dramatically.

As soon as the trailer was released, it immediately attracted the audience's attention and aroused widespread attention and heated discussion. People began to re-examine the film and were full of expectations for it.

In order to attract the audience's attention, the film producers racked their brains. They carefully edited the wonderful scenes of all the characters into fascinating promotional clips, and tailored unique concept posters for each character.

These videos were placed on the official account of the film for the general public to freely access. However, surprisingly, in just two days, the number of views of the promotional video of He Yuping, played by Zhao Yilin, soared like a rocket, far surpassing all other characters.

What is even more remarkable is that this data even topped the list of hot searches for Zhulang! Did Sima Hongsheng forget to suppress her popularity? He Yuping, played by Zhao Yilin, firmly occupied the top spot in the hot search list and refused to give up easily.

At the same time, the film also started a roadshow, and held press conferences and various talk shows. In these activities, Zhao Yilin, as the only traffic star in the film, naturally became the focus of media and audience attention.

Her appearance always causes a sensation at the scene, with fans screaming and shouting her name, hoping to get her attention.

The other actors and she were relatively low-key. When they came on stage to introduce themselves, the audience just sat quietly and watched without much interaction.

When it came to the question-and-answer session, most of the questions asked were about Zhao Yilin.

For example, when the reporter asked the heroine Wang Yuan, she asked, "Hello, Teacher Wang. How do you feel about your first collaboration with Zhao Yilin?"

According to previous practice, the questions the reporters asked her were usually to ask her to explain her understanding of the role. She had already thought of the answers, but she didn't expect the questions to be completely different from what she expected.

Fortunately, she was quick to react, and she got along well with Zhao Yilin during the filming of the movie, so the answer came out immediately. "I think Zhao Yilin is a very explosive actor. Although she is small, she is full of great energy."

The reporter was not sure whether he was satisfied or dissatisfied with the answer, so he asked another actress, Ruan Yi, "Teacher Ruan, do you have any different opinions from Teacher Wang Yuan?"

Ruan Yi was a little dazed when his name was suddenly called. "Ah, me, this is my first time working with Yilin. I was amazed when I first saw her. She is really beautiful, much prettier than on TV. And, actually, her image in this movie is a bit ugly."

Ruan Yi's words made the reporter very interested, and he continued to ask: "Ugliness? Is it about the plain face? Or is it about other aspects of ugliness?"

Ruan Yi went on to explain, "It's not her bare face, the makeup artist deliberately used a darker foundation for her. Because her skin is very fair, but He Yuping is a blind person, a low-class person. The director deliberately gave her a darker makeup to make Yilin's image closer to her."

When Ruan Yi was talking, the camera never left her. As soon as she finished speaking, Yin Wangyuan immediately picked up the microphone, "Yilin is very dedicated and pays attention to details when acting. For example, she never lets the makeup artist do her hair. She always ties it herself with her eyes closed, because this way of tying hair is closest to the state of a blind person."

Wang Yuan gestured as she spoke, and everyone's eyes, cameras, and microphones were focused on her. She thought to herself: It turns out that mentioning Zhao Yilin has such a good effect. It seems that I have to say more about Zhao Yilin in future interviews and roadshows, so that I can get more attention. Traffic stars are really powerful.

At this time, a reporter asked Yu Chaoqi about her opinion on Zhao Yilin's acting skills.

Yu Chaoqi smiled and replied: "Yilin is a very good actor. Her performance is real and moving, which is very impressive."

He paused and continued, "On the set, she is always able to devote herself to the role wholeheartedly. I admire her concentration and persistence very much."

Hearing Yu Chaoqi's praise, Zhao Yilin also showed a happy smile. Then, more topics revolved around Zhao Yilin, and the atmosphere at the scene was extremely warm.

On the Internet, discussions about "Who is the Real Murderer" have become increasingly heated, and Zhao Yilin's popularity is unmatched by other actors in the same crew.

People began to look forward to her wonderful performance in the movie, and this originally unpopular film became the focus of attention because of her.

Therefore, in the following publicity and roadshows, whether Zhao Yilin participated or not, the topic would definitely not leave her. The competition for the Spring Festival period is very fierce, and "Sweet and Sour" by another female director Zeng Bei is also a hot search. There are also other films that are eyeing it, hoping to get a share of the Spring Festival period.

As a supporting role, Zhao Yilin did not want to overshadow the main characters Wang Yuan and Yu Chaoqi, and she wanted to keep a low profile. However, the attention from fans and audiences made it impossible for her to cool down, and the response became increasingly intense.

In this regard, Zhao Yilin had never longed for Sima Hongsheng to overwhelm her as much as she did now, and she sat in front of the computer and prayed.

"Why hasn't Sima Hongsheng taken action yet? What has this old pervert been busy with lately? He doesn't even help Mu Yan get on the trending searches."

In fact, Mu Yan did play a role in another movie "Sweet Sour, Bitter Spicy", but for some reason it was not popular at all.

Xie Hanling laughed at her when she heard this: "Everyone hopes for high popularity, but you hope for low popularity."

"Oh, you don't know. I'm either the lead actor or a supporting actor. I just need to play my role well. I don't want to be so popular."

"People are afraid of being famous just like pigs are afraid of getting fat, right? It's the New Year, so we can slaughter pigs. Do you want me to book the whole place for you on New Year's Day?"

Zhao Yilin quickly denied it, "No, I never like to do these things. Fans are autonomous, there's nothing I can do about it, but I never let big fans organize things like booking a theater. I hope everyone goes to see my play because they like the role, not for other reasons."

Although Xie Hanling couldn't understand it, she respected her decision. "Then I really won't book the theater. But I will still take Su Wen and Bubu to the cinema to watch it. By the way, I'll listen to what other audiences think of the character of He Yuping."

Zhao Yilin supported this idea and said, "Yes, this is possible."

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Xie Hanling brought Su Wen and Bubu to the cinema. Zhao Yilin's He Yuping received unanimous praise from the audience.

"When I first watched it, I didn't realize that He Yuping was played by Zhao Yilin. It's amazing. Different characters give completely different feelings. This is what acting is all about."

"Zhao Yilin this time was a pleasant surprise. I originally went to see it for Wang Yuan, but ended up being a fan of Zhao Yilin."

"It's rare for a popular star to have such good acting skills."

It turns out that sometimes high traffic can also lead to misunderstandings. As expected, everything has two sides.
