The Martial Artist Turned Movie Mogul-Chapter 797 - 796. Clout-chasing?!
Chapter 797: 796. Clout-chasing?!
After Roger and Lin Yucheng were rescued, the program welcomed its commercial break.
As familiar advertisement slogans reached their ears, the audience huddled in front of the television screens snapped out of the tense rescue scene and immediately erupted with incredibly excited yells.
"Ahh! I’m dying, I’m dying, what I just saw can’t be real!"
"This has to be a movie scene, it must be, it must be. As a contemporary young person who has believed in science for over twenty years, I must steadfastly view everything through the lens of scientific progress!"
"emmmmm~~~ Oh my God, is this really something I get to watch for free?"
"God not only owes me a beautiful face but also an incredibly agile body!"
"Why is there such a huge gap between people, huh?"
Feeling indignant, the viewers spontaneously started to spread the word using their mobile phones.
"Such an incredible scene, I must share it with my friends!"
How can I be the only one shocked? Others must also experience the rush of adrenaline I’m feeling right now!
Thus in various social circles and chat groups, scenes of recommending the program played out, and some even took the opportunity to edit the program into short clips for widespread sharing.
Completely opposite to the lively scenes in countless homes, a villa in Palm Pavilion had sunk into a strange silence.
The living room television emitted familiar advertisement phrases, and on a soft sofa outside the TV, a slender figure nestled, emitting even and sustained breaths. It seemed the product advertisements did not affect her at all.
This figure was none other than the person who caused the audience to scream.
When Jing Yu came out of the kitchen with a bowl of sobering soup, he was greeted with this scene; Tang Shu, in her pink home outfit, appeared even more delicate. Her fluffy head even nuzzled the Big Horse Monkey in her arms.
"Welcome—"
Jing Yu let out a wry laugh.
It looked like the sobering soup wouldn’t be needed tonight.
He carried the bowl back to the kitchen, and when he returned, he was empty-handed, with steps lighter than before, making no sound at all.
Jing Yu picked up the remote that was discarded at the foot of the sofa to turn off the TV, then slowly picked up the person and began heading toward the second-floor bedroom.

The next day, as expected, "Journey Together" once again climbed to the top of the trending search chart.
Unlike before, this time the buzz shot it to the number one spot on the trending list, knocking down all concurrent TV dramas and celebrity gossips. Whether it was the volume of discussions or clicks on videos, every refresh showing the immense data figures was challenging the psychological acceptance of the media practitioners.
"Damn, what kind of terrifying speed of spread is this?!"
"Leaving others in the dust! Other programs at the same time became nothing but specks—"
"This is unscientific... No, even fantasy doesn’t go like this, it’s really someone else’s variety show!"
"Such influence, we better lay low for a while. Should we retract that marriage statement we just released that was supposed to go viral?"
"emmmm~~~ After working hard all year, our popularity isn’t even close to one episode of theirs. Don’t stop me, I’m going to go die..." ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm
"Wah wah wah~~~ It’s so hard for a performer to start a concert, we posted a Weibo early in the morning to celebrate, and now we’re going to lose out on publicity?"
"Who the hell can withstand this!"
...
The general audience didn’t have the leisure to worry about the working conditions of new media professionals; they were busy recommending the thrilling moments they had seen on the show last night to their colleagues and friends.
At this time, an article titled "Even God Luo Can Be Blind" was posted by an editor and began to ferment quietly. With key keywords included, this little article was soon clicked on, watched, forwarded, and commented on by surfing netizens, and traffic surged in a short period of time.
By 10 o’clock, the article had reached the tenth spot on the hot search ranking.
"’Even God Luo Can Be Blind’? What’s this article about? I’m pretty curious!"
"The name is intriguing, makes you want to find out what it’s about. But isn’t God Luo’s judgment always so good?"
"Yeah, yeah, that male god is a king of influencer marketing abroad. Every ad he’s taken on has had a guaranteed sales volume!"
Audience members, with this mindset, clicked on the article to find that it was an analysis post, and the person being analyzed wasn’t Roger, nor was it one of the ten guests on "Journey Together"—it was Mu Ziwei!
"Mu Ziwei??? What the hell, what does this have to do with an adventure show?"
"So is this someone from outside the show trying to ride the hype train?"
"Damn—can celebrities really do this just to catch some heat?"
"A relationship that’s weak as wet tissue paper, and they can still cling to the hot searches?"
"Bro, you’re wrong, it’s not that there’s no connection, remember Mu Ziwei and God Luo are a couple?"
With this prompt, many suddenly saw the light.
"Oh right, right, can’t forget about this. After all, God Luo and Tang Shu have been at each other’s throats since the first episode, hhhhh~~~"
"I’m dying, the name Mu Ziwei has been maintained from the first to the last episode, alright?"
"Honestly, I’ve heard so much about it my ears have grown calluses."
The article was indeed analyzing around the focus of "Mu Ziwei," however, it wasn’t penned by the Vast Entertainment PR Department, where she worked, but by their archrival.
And why is that?
Because the conclusions drawn in the article were quite unfriendly to the subject, Mu Ziwei.
"Tsk tsk, who would have thought, this is a smear piece—"
"Sorry, I apologize for just saying someone was riding the hype train."
"Emmm~~ this is even worse than riding the hype train. At least that’s flattering, but this article is as derogatory as it gets."
"I’m dying of laughter, to be honest, I already believe the editor’s conclusion."
While everyone marveled, they began to read the article that had shot up the hot search list, nodding their heads as they went along. The content extracted key dialogues from every episode of the show—of course, most of them were from Roger’s mouth—and reconstructed the events with a very scientific approach.
The editor who wrote this analysis also rationally utilized knowledge of criminal psychology, diving deep with plenty of professional knowledge to analyze Mu Ziwei and accurately deduced the personality traits of the "criminal."
"It can thus be seen that God Luo’s verbal attacks against Tang Shu are because Mu Ziwei complained to her boyfriend during movie shooting, which resulted in Tang Shu being painted as a wicked supporting female in God Luo’s mind. Therefore, we can easily reach a conclusion, Miss Mu’s words have a very clear guiding tendency..."
Even the most unbiased passerby could not help but exclaim "Holy shit!" after reading the article.
