Chapter 105 - 105: Phenomenal Explosion



Faced with the suspicion of the falsified ratings, the most anxious wasn’t Song Qingyou.

Instead, it was the Green Screen platform.

As the most authoritative rating platform in China, Green Screen had always been fair and just as its selling point. Now, someone actually said that the rating could be manipulated by an internet troll army?

Green Screen immediately sent a lawyer’s letter.

They also assured everyone that the Green Screen platform could not be used to manipulate ratings. Every person who scored had to be verified and the back-end was strictly monitored.

Then, Green Screen also sent out real-time data about The Immortal Demon’s score.

Everyone could see from the data that The Immortal Demon was rated by fans at the beginning, and then it was the passersby and people who were recommended by others.

Moreover, the sharing rate of this drama was especially shocking.

Xu Mingrui was not idle either. Not long after the Green Screen platform sent out the lawyer’s letter, he used the production team’s official account to post an edited video.

Everyone who clicked on it was shocked by the special effects of The Immortal Demon!

#The Immortal Demon’s special effects# appeared on the trending searches.

Xu Mingrui had no choice but to ask Song Qingyou about the special effects team’s signature.

“No need to sign.” Song Qingyou replied,” If someone asks you, just say you don’t know.”

Song Qingyou was the only one on the team. Did she have to put on another disguise for special effects?

Stop joking! She had never planned to do special effects for other movies and television dramas from the beginning!

Xu Mingrui understood what she meant and could not help but ask, “It’s quite profitable to do special effects. Sis, are you sure you don’t want to do it?”

In fact, Xu Mingrui really wanted to make his own TV series and movies in the future. If he needed special effects, he could look for Song Qingyou to work with.

“How can I have so much energy? I’m not doing it!”

Song Qingyou, who was typing away, preparing to write a book about her experience, said.

Compared to doing special effects, she was more interested in writing books and being a screenwriter.

“Alright then.” Xu Mingrui sighed. They could talk about the future later!

Song Qingyou didn’t even know when Xu Mingrui hung up the phone.

After typing the last word of the ten chapters, she sent the manuscript to the publisher’s email address.

Because she was not sure if it could be published, it was safer to only write a part of it.

With Qiu Yu’s doubts and the top-notch special effects, The Immortal Demon exploded in popularity.

The viewership ratings jumped from 0.08% to 2.4%.

—When only one local station was broadcasting it!

The number of views on the Internet also soared from the initial hundreds of thousands to tens of millions.

Soon, the number of people who gave the rating reached a million, but the score still did not fall below 9.

The acting skills of the lead actors of The Immortal Demon were praised by many people.

Not only did Song Qingyou turn around her reputation as a pretty face, Xu Xingzhou, an extra, also made everyone look at him in a different light!

At the end of the episode, when the male lead Taichu took Xihe’s heart blood, a fan posted a video of his best friend crying and gasping for breath, which went viral on the internet.

The hashtag #The Immortal Demon tortures crying fans# also started trending.

[ What kind of dog male lead is Taichu? If Xihe is still with Taichu in the end, I will give this series a bad review! ]

[ It’s such a good holiday. I’m so stupid. Sob sob sob.]

[ I couldn’t wait to write a small essay to scold Taichu to death. I almost started writing before I realized that he’s just a virtual character! Blame me for being too engrossed in it!]

[ I want to send a blade to Ms. Qing Meng! ]

[ I’ve never heard of the screenwriter, Qing Meng, but I also want to send them a blade!!]

It was also at this moment that everyone remembered that the script of The Immortal Demon had been changed.

The original version that was leaked didn’t look like the current version at all.

As a result, the audience had a love-hate relationship with Qing Meng.

They loved that she was able to bring this messy script back to life.

They also hated her for being so accurate and frequent with her knife, and every time, she would make the audience cry.

The key was that the more torturous it was, the more the audience wanted to watch.

The hashtag #The Immortal Demon’s ending# caused a heated discussion on the Internet, and many versions of speculations appeared in online forum posts.

No one had expected that “The Immortal Demon”, which had a viewership rating of only 0.08 at the beginning, would become the dark horse of the National Day TV series!

Even though its popularity and views were still not as good as those big productions, like ‘Us’, with an investment of 10 million yuan, a rookie director, and newbie actors, it was a miracle to have such an achievement!

Thinking back to Song Qingyou’s participation in Man vs. Wild 3, Man vs. Wild had also been revived…

Many people in the industry had the idea of collaborating with Song Qingyou.

Seeing Song Qingyou’s success and that she was about to “fly into the sky”, Shen Xiyan couldn’t sleep well.

Under her instructions, an article titled [The Immortal Demon’s Popularity: 90% Due to the Scriptwriter] exploded overnight.

Most people followed the crowd.

Once someone came up with a seemingly reliable analysis, it meant that the popularity of The Immortal Demon was entirely due to the screenwriter.

Many people would agree.

Then, they ignored the acting skills of the actors and the level of the director.

Regarding the criticism of Song Qingyou’s acting skills in the article, they thought that Song Qingyou didn’t understand the role of Xihe.

Some were even more convinced.

However, Shen Xiyan’s thoughts were beautiful, but the reality was cruel.

She didn’t know that Song Qingyou was Qing Meng herself!

As soon as the article became popular, Song Qingyou opened a Weibo account called “Screenwriter Qingmeng.” She quickly passed the verification and posted her first Weibo post.

[Screenwriter Qingmeng: I’m glad that everyone is paying attention to the role of screenwriters, but screenwriters can’t replace actors and directors. I don’t think @SongQingyou misinterpreted the role of Xihe, because she is the Xihe in my eyes.]

7 feel like I fit the character I wrote, well, there’s nothing wrong with it!’

With the screenwriter personally coming forward to slap their face, that long article instantly became hated by tens of thousands of people.

[ I’m dying of laughter. They think Song Qingyou doesn’t understand the character of Xihe, but the screenwriter said that Song Qingyou is Xihe.]

[Who hired the internet trolls to write this article? It’s so stupid.]

[What a baffling public opinion. It was most likely bought by Sister Qingyou’s rival.]

Just after Song Qingyou finished boasting, Wen Xia, the editor-in-chief of the publishing house, sent her contact information.

The two of them added each other via V-mail. After Wen Xia finished explaining the various regulations and treatment of the publication, she asked, [ When will Teacher Qing Meng send the rest of the manuscript over? We think your story has a lot of potential. If there are no problems with the follow-up manuscript, we will definitely publish it.]

Song Qingyou replied: [I haven’t written it yet.]

Wen Xia: […]

She was ready to sign the contract!

Song Qingyou replied, [I’ll try my best.]

Wen Xia said: [Teacher, please don’t disappear, or I’ll come looking for you… Lastly, are you Teacher Qing Meng, the screenwriter of The Immortal Demon?] Song Qingyou: [Yes]

Wen Xia: [ {Ecstasy.jpg} Can your ‘The Immortal Demon’ be adapted into a novel and published? We can sign the contract immediately and discuss the remuneration!]

The TV series “The Immortal Demon” was very popular. This was the best time to publish a novel.

Song Qingyou, who was short of money, agreed without hesitation after asking about the remuneration..
