Chapter 13 Is this fan a decent person?
Lin Yu could only pretend to be confused, since he had no right to speak yet.
He came to the back of the line!
Of course, Yu Zheng also noticed that something was wrong at the scene, and he could only explain it later.
The group followed the pre-arranged procedure to offer incense and then lifted the red cloth covering the camera.
Next, the screenwriter, director, and producer will discuss how difficult it was to develop the script and cast the actors for this TV series.
These are all established conventions.
The reporters in the audience were starting to doze off.
Finally, it was time for the actors to be introduced.
They also wanted to know whether the exceptionally talented young man they had just met was actually the lead actor in the drama.
Guan Xiaotong was the first to speak on stage.
Reporters also knew that she was playing the female lead and had already leaked the news.
Then Song Weilong came up, made a brief speech, and said that he played the male lead Rong Zhi in the TV series!
After listening, the reporters and photographers in the audience had a brief discussion.
I never expected that the very charismatic young man wasn't the male lead.
However, Song Weilong's temperament seemed somewhat inferior to that person's.
The actors were introduced one by one, and finally it was Lin Yu's turn.
Lin Yu gracefully took a step forward and picked up the microphone.
The photographers seemed more interested in Lin Yu, and started snapping away with their cameras.
"Good morning to all the reporters and media friends here. My name is Lin Yu and I come from Beijing Film Academy. I play the role of Gu Huan, the third male lead, in 'Untouchable Lovers'."
"Thank you Director Li and Teacher Yu for your trust in me. I will do my best to portray the character Gu Huan well in the time to come. Thank you everyone!"
After making a brief statement, Lin Yu bowed and retreated to Bai Lu's side.
Guan Xiaotong, at some point, also stood on Lin Yu's side.
Reporters took photos of Lin Yu sandwiched between the two female leads.
After the final group photo, the entire opening ceremony came to a close.
Of course, Yu Zheng was still somewhat frustrated.
He originally wanted to boost the popularity of Song Weilong and Bai Lu.
For some reason, all the reporters' attention was on Lin Yu.
After returning home, the reporters began organizing the photos they had taken that day and sending them to editors at various media outlets.
Looking at the photos that had been taken, the editors-in-chief clearly only found two interesting highlights.
One example is Guan Xiaotong's sewing machine head hairstyle.
Another one is Lin Yu, who plays Gu Huan.
Her aura is simply irresistible.
The next moment, a hot topic appeared on the entertainment sections of major portal websites and on Weibo.
"The filming ceremony for 'Phoenix Prisoner' has ended. Guess who the male lead, Rong Zhi, is?"
Next up are photos of Song Weilong, Mi Re, and Lin Yu at the opening ceremony.
Surprisingly, most people voted for Lin Yu.
Lin Yu's approval rating actually exceeded 50%.
At that moment, #ElegantHandsomeGuy# also surged into the top ten trending topics in the entertainment section.
Although Lin Yu is wearing ordinary white clothes in the photo, his unique and elegant temperament on stage makes him stand out at first glance.
This Weibo post has received over ten thousand comments!
"Where did you take this picture of this incredibly handsome young man?"
"My all-knowing netizens, I need his firsthand information! Find it as soon as possible!"
"Ladies, I think I might be in love!"
"You upstairs aren't just in love, you're just in heat!"
......
For a time, Weibo was filled with people trying to uncover Lin Yu's identity.
Lin Yu had just finished lunch and was preparing to rest for a while before starting the actual filming around 2 PM.
Just then, the phone rang.
"Lin Yu, you need to register a Weibo account right away, get it verified with your real name, and then post a photo of yourself in costume on set!" Li Chengyuan said somewhat urgently.
Lin Yu rarely uses Weibo, after all, some people on it are just too weird.
"Why did you suddenly remind me of this?" Lin Yu asked curiously.
"You're trending on Weibo now, and a lot of people are digging into your information. This is a great opportunity to gain more followers!" Li Chengyuan explained directly.
Lin Yu understood.
He always thought he would make his way in the entertainment industry through his own talent, so he never considered the fan base on Weibo.
After his rebirth, Lin Yu understood the importance of fans, especially in 2016.
This year marked the early stages of the rise of the traffic era.
The number of Weibo followers has become a core indicator for measuring an actor's commercial value, directly determining their industry status and resources.
Fans represent popularity, discussion, and casual viewership, and are an important basis for production teams and brands to judge the appeal of a production.
Having a large fan base means you have built-in publicity, can generate buzz and viewership, and are more likely to get high-quality scripts, variety show offers, and endorsements.
Furthermore, fan data can indirectly affect actor's salary.
Even if some popular actors have mediocre acting skills, they can still get higher prices by virtue of their huge fan base, and the production companies are willing to pay for the popularity.
Conversely, newcomers without fans will find it difficult to gain attention, even if they have an outstanding appearance.
It can be said that Weibo followers were an actor's invisible capital at the time, influencing their resource circles and directly affecting their pay and commercial pricing.
Lin Yu is currently in the early stages, and the number of followers on Weibo is still very important.
After all, TikTok hasn't become popular yet at this point in time.
Lin Yu hung up the phone and immediately registered a Weibo account, completing real-name authentication and actor verification.
Lin Yu had his student ID and national ID card, so the verification was completed quickly.
He posted his first update directly.
"I am actor Lin Yu, and I play Gu Huan in 'Untouchable Lovers.' Thank you all for your concern!"
The accompanying photo is a picture of him in costume taken by Bai Lu at the opening ceremony that morning.
After posting the update, Lin Yu immediately lay down to rest.
After all that work in the morning, he was exhausted and needed to recharge for his first scene in the afternoon.
However, just as Lin Yu was drifting off to sleep, there was a sudden knock on the door.
Lin Yu opened the door directly.
"Little Lin, look at your Weibo! You're famous!" Bai Lu said excitedly as she stood at the door.
Lin Yu was still a bit confused!
He picked up his phone and opened his Weibo account.
He was completely stunned.
He only slept for less than an hour, and his number of followers jumped from zero to 20,000.
This world is a bit too crazy.
Moreover, his first post received over two thousand comments.
But the tone of these comments is getting weirder and weirder.
"We've finally found you, handsome and refined gentleman! Your temperament is just like Gu Huan's!"
"Brother Lin Yu, looking at your photos makes my mouth water!"
"Upstairs, I hope you stay dry; the water's flowing down here!"
"Have some shame, upstairs! My building is almost flooded!"
"The area downstairs isn't dry at all; let you taste the sea breeze!"
......
Lin Yu looked at the comments and inwardly scoffed!
Is this fan a decent person?
