He thought to himself, he didn't know what went wrong. In the past, many fans knew his schedule and would come to the airport to pick him up and drop him off.

But there have never been so many people as this time.

There were so many people that he was a little panicked and scared.

Fear of a stampede.

Fortunately, he was protected by two assistants and was not pushed around.

During this time, Li Sheng became a little impatient because there were always people holding their cell phones and surrounding Li Xiao, so he slightly pushed the person in front of him.

Li Xiao even pulled his hand over and told him not to be anxious.

It was difficult to maintain order along the way, and it took a lot of effort. With the help of the airport security brother, the three of them barely passed the security check.

At that time, he didn't know that although there were a lot of keyboard warriors complaining about him online after the broadcast of "The Demonic Path", he had already become famous.

The gears of fate began to turn, and his wilderness began.

Returning to the crew, Li Xiao plunged into the intense filming again.

During the breaks in filming, he couldn't help but go online to read reviews of the show.

The complaints and sarcastic remarks are getting more and more intense.

This is his first drama in which he truly plays the leading role, and it is also the drama in which he has invested the most effort and emotion so far.

Now that the show has aired and this is the response, to be honest, he is really disappointed.

He was criticized by all kinds of people and was on the negative hot searches every day. Although he had gained popularity, it was not what he wanted.

The poor performance of this drama has more or less affected his condition.

After waking up with swollen eyes one day, his cell phone was confiscated by Li Sheng.

"Li Xiao, the most important thing for you right now is to stay in good shape and finish this play.

Sister Li and Coco are keeping an eye on what’s happening online.

Sister Li said that there were a lot of water armies hired by the rival party who were trying to take advantage of the situation and make things worse. She has already started investigating and dealing with it, and the matter may be resolved soon.

So don't worry too much, just focus on filming and eating well."

Li Xiao knew that Dasheng was right, so he cheered up again.

After a few more days of hard work while hanging on wires, the drama was finally completed at sunset that day.

After the wrap party in the evening, the director generously brought in a truckload of fireworks.

Standing in the bustling crowd, he sipped a glass of light wine, looked up at the fireworks, feeling a little lonely and confused.

Thinking about Chengcheng who is still nowhere to be found.

Thinking about the poor response after the show aired.

I don't know how Sister Li is doing in her investigation of the rival who is causing trouble behind the scenes?

If Chengcheng were here, this could be done in minutes.

Unfortunately, the beauty has completed her training and returned to her own world to explore.

Chengcheng, when can I see you again?

I am really about to become lovesick this time~~

After the big scene of being surrounded at the airport when they returned to the crew last time, the three of them were fully prepared when they went down the mountain and returned to Beijing this time.

Although there were still many fans coming to see him off, he finally arrived in Beijing safely.

At the airport in Beijing, when Han Chunli came to pick up her fans, she saw too many fans in the airport and directly asked the airport staff for a VIP channel.

She was also frightened by the huge crowds at the airport when Li Xiao returned to the crew last time, and was afraid that the same scene would happen again today.

Even after escorting Li Xiao onto the nanny car, Han Chunli was still frightened when she saw the fans standing in a row at the airport gate holding banners.

"I need to find you two more assistants as soon as possible. Only Dasheng and Xiaoyuan will accompany you to the airport. If they come a few more times, you may be able to handle it, but I can't."

Zhang Yuan hesitated to speak.

Li Sheng spoke quickly, "Sister Li, the next assistant is on the way. They're Brother Yuan's recently discharged comrades. They were chosen a long time ago. We're just waiting for them to report after they're discharged."

"Is that so? That's even better. It also saves me the money of hiring a bodyguard."

Han Chunli had heard from Qian Bei that Zhang Yuan was a retired special forces soldier hired by Qian Dong.

His comrades should be of similar status.

This put her completely at ease.

Li Xiao asked in surprise, "Sister Li, are these people at the airport really my fans?"

"How could it be fake? Of course, we can't rule out the possibility that some of them are CP fans.

Li Xiao, "The Devil's Path" is already showing signs of becoming a huge hit. You need to adapt to the rhythm of becoming famous as soon as possible."

Thanks to the hard work of the producers and the companies of the two male leads, the internet trolls hired by the rival companies were suppressed, and the real reviews of the show came out.

With the influx of a large number of passers-by, the Douban score has risen from the original 4.8 points to 5.3 points, and it is still increasing almost every day, with great potential.

More and more positive comments began to emerge online.

It was just after the summer vacation, and as fans of the books, comics, radio dramas, and actors gradually turned into fans of the drama, these fans of the drama in turn led a group of passers-by to join the fan base.

Within two days of the show's premiere, new fans came out to express their opinions, saying that only four episodes a week were unsatisfactory and not enough to satisfy them, and they demanded more episodes.

Penguin quickly responded: "Tomorrow night at 8 o'clock, as everyone wishes, there will be more. The broadcast time will be changed to 2 episodes updated every Monday to Wednesday at 20:00, and members can always watch 4 more episodes."

So when Li Xiao finished filming and came out, there were more fans waiting to pick him up at the Beijing airport than before.

The number of job offers in Li Xiao Studio’s mailbox is more than ten times more than before.

There was a powerful partner who even called Han Chunli's cell phone directly to discuss cooperation.

Li Xiao has a long itinerary lined up for the future.

That's why Han Da's agent told Li Xiao to adapt to this rhythm as soon as possible.

Li Xiao reached out to Li Sheng to take back his phone.

I opened the Big Eyes app which I hadn’t logged into for many days, and I actually saw a lot of hot searches related to “The Demonic Path”, and they were all positive comments.

And those previous comments that complained that he acted too effeminately and mocked that Cen Yi looked like Xiao Wu seemed to have disappeared.

If you look at the accounts that are doing their best to praise now, you will find that many of them are the accounts that once complained the most.

The netizens of this generation are really fickle.

Li Xiao found it a bit ironic.

But I was indeed relieved.

As long as the word of mouth is good, it’s good. Whether it will be a hit or not is up to fate.

Li Xiao thought calmly.

But he soon lost his composure.

Because he was extremely busy for the entire next month.

True gold is not afraid of fire, and gold will always shine.

"The casting is fantastic and everyone's acting is top notch."

“It’s a visual feast, beautifully crafted.”

"The traditional Chinese music brings you auditory enjoyment."

Once mainstream reviews like these came out, "The Devil's Way", which had been severely underestimated during the summer season due to too many counter-complaints and had a low Douban score when it was first aired, took only ten days to reverse its reputation, from being ridiculed by the public to making the audience exclaim "it's really good".

Among the current film and television works, there are many that start high and end low, while those that start low and end high are rare.

"The Demonic Path" was launched without any publicity and was broadcast directly online. It was rare that it gradually turned the tide amidst a chorus of pessimism.
