She couldn't hold it back for a moment, stood up suddenly and said, "I didn't mean it!"
Although Yin Lian couldn't see the situation here, he could roughly judge what kind of reaction she had by listening to the background sound, but he said slowly: "Who knows? Even if you say so, what you do will not be like that. It’s something.”
Ge Lixuan's three priorities as a new official are that she is eager for quick success and quick gain at any cost. She was eager to do a good job in publicity for this competition and increase its popularity, especially since this competition had so many natural topics but could not be used properly, which naturally made her feel anxious. In her opinion, Yin Lian was the best breakthrough point. Ge Lixuan did not expect that she would be so difficult to deal with. At this time, she had no intention of inciting the girl anymore. She finally backed down because of her threat and said, "Miss Yin, I really don't mean this."
Then she said: "If you really don't want to, I will adjust my publicity strategy in the future and will never promote this aspect again. The previous publicity content... was a communication error on my part, but it was definitely not meant to be directed at you. I hope you can understanding."
Yin Lian said: "Then you change the content of the promotion."
Ge Lixuan said: "...If the information that has been released is modified, it will damage the credibility of the competition. I will adjust the strategy later... How about this?"
Yin Lian said: "You can withdraw the promotional image and modify it, and then say that the person in charge of the copywriting used inappropriate words and caused undue influence, so you withdraw the modification. Others will not say that you handled it improperly, they will only say that you are responsible. You You can also let others guide you, saying that the May Dream program team treats the players with care and responsibility, and is very dedicated to preventing the players from being negatively affected."
Ge Lixuan was silent for a long time.
To be honest, these explanations can only deceive uninformed passers-by. For those who follow the show, they will not believe such clumsy lies. But for now, Yin Lian has really caught her sore foot - in Xia Kingdom, the monthly competitions are not so much variety shows, but more like the various Chinese Olympiads every year, which are more academic in nature. As for Ge Lixuan, she is actually a national civil servant. However, the Xia State public system has stricter management of personnel. Especially for this kind of competition, the requirements for fairness are even more stringent. If Ge Lixuan is accused of interfering with the fairness of the competition, , even if the suspicion is cleared in the end, the prestige within the competition group will be greatly damaged.
It is difficult to distinguish between behaviors that do not care about the reputation of the players and try to use it to gain popularity for the competition team and deliberately damage the reputation of the other party to affect the results of the competition, but the degree of bad nature is very different. But even if it is an accusation like the former, Ge Lixuan definitely does not want to encounter it.
She finally gave in: "Okay, I will adjust the previous publicity content, even if it will attract discussion. But I hope Miss Yin, you understand, this is just because I think this publicity strategy is indeed harmful to your interests, not to admit of your previous accusations."
Yin Lian said: "Of course, even if this incident causes irreversible damage to me... As long as Ms. Ge doesn't continue to cause such harm, I am not a grudge-bearing person."
Ge Lixuan: "..."
She really couldn't deal with this girl. Not only did she think clearly, but she was also very articulate, and almost every word she said was uncompromising, making it difficult for Ge Lixuan to deal with her, so she could only retreat temporarily.
She finally said a few words that even she couldn't understand, and then retreated in a panic. When she turned around, she immediately tried to think of a way to withdraw the previous promotional pictures and redo them. Fortunately, although it was serious, this matter was very important to Ge Lixuan. It was just a trivial matter. At most, he received a few words of discussion and had to work overtime for an entire night.
When modifying the promotional content, Ge Lixuan was actually a little angry and wanted to give Yin Lian some trouble, but after thinking about it, she endured it. The main reason was that the girl acted too steadily and showed a lot of trump cards, which made Ge Lixuan not want to rashly provoke her again in the short term.
Even if she doesn't have a big background, she still has a brokerage company, and she can earn a lot of money just by looking at her face. She still has a lot of abilities that she can use if she wants to.
She was just a little girl, so Ge Lixuan felt there was no need to argue with her.
In fact, Yin Lian did not lie or exaggerate. In a sense, Ge Lixuan's behavior caused irreversible damage to her.
Although the promotional content was quickly withdrawn and re-released after modification, and the beautiful mysterious contestant was also modified into an ordinary anonymous contestant, the discussion did not subside easily. On the contrary, this inexplicable withdrawal increased the sense of mystery. sparked more discussion.
This matter reached a climax on the first day of the official start of the competition.
Yin Lian had canceled his anonymous status before the competition started, and all competition articles became readable. However, just by looking at the ID and character introduction, everyone got a rough idea of her basic information, and had no idea of what kind of person she was.
But in this case, just reading her articles also accumulated some fans and popularity for her.
When Ge Lixuan said before, "I have read your article, it is very mediocre," this in itself revealed that she had never read Yin Lian's works. Yin Lian's articles may be a little raw and crude, but they are definitely not mediocre. Because her personality is naturally the type that is so sharp that she can stab others at any time. This kind of personality permeates the text, and naturally cannot make the text mellow and moderate.
When others read Yin Lian's writing, they may like or hate it, but most of them will hardly be truly indifferent.
When Ge Lixuan realized this, the competition had already been going on for several days.
On the first day of the competition, Yin Lian's identity was revealed, which aroused discussion from all sides.
"610016!? Real or fake!?"
"How old is that little girl? Can she write good articles?"
"You're not convinced by Director Lin's comments and you want to prove that you're more than superficial, right?"
"Stop joking. How did she get in among the 36 people?"
There are a lot of discussions on the Internet, and occasionally a fan will intervene forcefully and say: "Don't you allow people to have interesting souls in addition to beautiful skins?"
"You guys are talking a lot here. Have you read other people's articles?"
"If you are beautiful, you cannot be talented. Is this a narrow-minded prejudice that comes out of nowhere!?"
Because the two sides with different opinions were at each other's throats, the heat that Ge Lixuan wanted quickly came up. Unfortunately, she was not happy, but rather a little uneasy.
Yin Lian's influence exceeded her expectations.
With almost no need for publicity, this little bit of gossip about the game has spread all over the Internet. During the live broadcast, the ratings directly exceeded the historical peak of the same period. But there are also endless discussions that follow. It seems that there are many fans who went to see Yin Lian's entries and were immediately shocked. They were almost full of praise for her talent. They wished they could share the article and the person with everyone. It's a pity that they are such an advantage. 90% of people are just acting as fans and don't take it seriously.
As Yin Lian said, a beautiful face can bring her a lot of benefits, but it can also bring all kinds of troubles. But for her, this kind of trouble was still within the bearable range - when she chose to participate in the competition, she had actually anticipated what she would have to face.
She was also prepared.
On the first day of the program recording, Yin Lian, as contestant No. 21, was placed at the end of the fifth group. This basically corresponded to her position during the previous promotion. This made many people aware of it. It's just that most of them don't understand the previous withdrawal and change of slogan, so they have a lot of speculation. Fortunately, overall, most of these speculations are not negative to Yin Lian. Obviously, the withdrawal itself is in line with everyone's expectations.
As if Yin Lian had shown weakness to the other players, the dissatisfaction and hostility spewed out by most of the players' supporters was suddenly frustrated, because this sudden setback gave people a sense of powerlessness, which led to the failure of their efforts. Most of the people's hostility towards Yin Lian had dissipated before it really started to ferment.
Yin Lian's entry ID is "Don't reject anyone who comes, don't chase anyone who goes." This ID is not only long, but also has a subtle meaning, which is actually very different from the public's impression of her. However, this did not affect the thundering cheers of the entire virtual audience when she appeared on the stage. When Yin Lian came out, the cheers were so loud. Not to mention the competition group, even Yin Lian did not expect that his popularity would be so high.
Judging from the usual reactions and speeches in major forums, Yin Lian originally thought that her popularity was relatively average. After all, Yan Fan seemed to have no market in Xia Kingdom and was easily criticized. As it turned out, this was not the case. It was obviously just because these people didn't talk much, or they hid their beauty.
At this time, Yin Lian came out, and the entire venue was excited. The number of people cheering was much greater than all the previous players combined, which shocked many people present.
The host was stunned for a moment before reacting. When I reacted, I kept receiving message prompts: "The audience keeps pouring in, and the virtual hall has increased to the fifteenth!" "The popularity index on the 21st has been soaring, and now the number of subscriptions to the article has reached It’s over 200,000... The number of real-time readers is relatively low, currently only over 20,000, but it’s been growing!” “The number of people watching the program on the external screen has exceeded 700,000!”
Each piece of information is undoubtedly exciting and exciting. Especially the director, he was so surprised that his heart stopped. Due to the prosperous entertainment industry in Xia Kingdom, the audience will be divided by various entertainment projects. The more this year, the fewer real-time viewers a competitive live broadcast like this can attract.
Seven hundred thousand may not sound like much, because as far as Yin Lian knows, the current number of registered citizens in Xia Country (not all citizens will choose to register or live under the jurisdiction of the government) is about five billion, distributed among Several administrative planets managed by the Xia Kingdom. In addition, there are definitely not a few from other countries and outsiders like Yin Lian's nominal parents.
So seven hundred thousand is actually just a drop in the bucket. But even this tiny number of viewers has not been reached for competitive programs in almost thirty years.
Of course, this refers to the number of real-time viewers.
The volume of on-demand viewing in the later period is another matter. Generally, it can reach about 100 to 1,000 times the number of real-time viewers. According to the current situation, it can be estimated that the total viewership of May Dream can reach 70 million to 700 million. between.
Yin Changsheng is not clear about the specific reason for this audience difference. He just glanced at some research materials in this area and currently believes that it may be due to local national conditions or certain living habits.
One thing is for sure.
The effectiveness of various propaganda methods in this era is actually very low. Xia citizens generally don't believe in overly flashy advertisements, and they are in a stubborn state of not letting go of the eagle when they see the rabbit. Yin Changsheng went out to check some information in this area and found that the most effective era for advertising was probably between 150 and 280 years ago.
The descriptions of some works from that era inevitably reminded Yin Changsheng of China. Rather, he saw the shadow of today's China from the Xia Kingdom back then, and all this made him wonder whether China would one day become like Xia Kingdom.
All literary or entertainment works here in Xia Kingdom have a delayed advertising effect of returning to nature. For example, the popularity of an author's new book generally does not depend on the effectiveness of publicity or advertising, but relies more on the popularity accumulated by his previous work. Therefore, whenever a bad work is released, its impact will last for several subsequent works.
But all this did not make Yin Changsheng feel troublesome. Instead, the different social environments inspired him a lot of inspiration. The unpopularity of publicity in this era, in a sense, also illustrates the gap in the market. Yin Changsheng has always believed that history advances in a spiral shape. It generally does not go backwards, but it will find different paths while circling again and again.
For him, this is both an opportunity and a challenge.
As the person in charge of the promotion of May Dream, Ge Lixuan’s behavior is actually deeply in line with the characteristics of this era. Although she will look for publicity points, she will not create false publicity points because Xia Kingdom's laws have strict regulations in this regard. Yin Lian's actual popularity made her feel suffocated, but also relieved her.
As the host received temporary instructions, requiring him to extend the conversation with Yin Lian as long as possible, the host also began to take action. He asked: "Contestant No. 21, your ID is a bit too long. How should I call you better? I can't call you 610016, right?"
Yin Lian replied: "Then just call me Xiao Zhui."
The host said: "Well, Xiao Zhui, I noticed that your name is very long and interesting. You don't reject anyone who comes, and you don't chase anyone who goes. Does this ID have any special meaning?"
Yin Lian laughed and replied, "Yes. This ID was chosen specifically for the competition. It is also what I want to say to everyone who is looking at me at this moment."
"I will not reject anyone who supports me because they like my articles, nor will I pursue anyone who opposes me because I am beautiful."
The host was stunned.
