Chapter 107: The Ridiculous Fans
This was the first time they had seen Rong Yu's dynamic expression change.
Previously, they had only seen the still promotional photos, the Rong Yu who displayed two different faces.
And just looking at those two promotional photos was enough to cause a misunderstanding. Book fans even thought the production had hired two separate actors to portray the single character with dissociative identity disorder.
"Blood Mist" was not like "Worlds Apart, Yet So Close," which had numerous leaked photos circulating widely even before it finished filming, appeared on the hot search lists several times, generating a mix of praise and criticism and constant debate, which kept its popularity high.
Because Qin Linlin chose outdoor shooting locations that were mostly places requiring paid tickets, even private villas, small western-style buildings, high-priced scenic spots, and private entertainment venues. These places were not only expensive but also had very strict management. Ordinary people simply couldn't get in, and even if they could, they had to go through multiple layers of checks. Finally, they would be escorted by attendants to other areas, ensuring absolute privacy for guests and never allowing others to disturb them.
Therefore, aside from the specific behind-the-scenes photos that Qin Linlin and the director agreed to release, there were no other sources for leaked content.
As for the cast of "Blood Mist," after Yin Chengjue's persuasive efforts (brainwashing)—basically the entire crew had invested shares in "Blood Mist". While the individual investments were not large, everyone had contributed something. Yin Chengjue formalized this by having them sign paper agreements stipulating that after "Blood Mist" aired, any profits would be distributed to them according to their shareholding.
They were all newcomers, and what they lacked most was money. To earn more money, unless they were foolish, they wouldn't secretly film or record situations on set to sell to marketing accounts.
The "Blood Mist" crew maintained strict management from top to bottom, so before the filming wrapped up, people basically couldn't see any news about "Blood Mist". The usual popularity of "Blood Mist" was maintained by book fans who occasionally, on a whim, drew fan art, wrote fan fiction, or produced fan songs.
Such low traffic naturally couldn't compare to the heat and recognition of "Worlds Apart, Yet So Close", which found reasons to trend on hot searches every day.
Therefore, when the "Blood Mist" trailer was released, aside from book fans, celebrity fans, and passing bystanders, there weren't many clicks initially.
After a lapse of over half a year, many people had forgotten about this drama.
Until that first wave of people watched the trailer, until they were so frightened by the smiling face of Wu Xiaoye, played by Rong Yu, that they nearly threw their phones...
Half an hour after the "Blood Mist" crew released the trailer, a topic titled #BloodMistTrailer# suddenly shot up from the very bottom of the hot search topics to the top ten at an incredible speed!
The first Weibo post when clicking into this topic was the trailer released by the official "Blood Mist" account. And clicking into the comments of this post revealed a flood of exclamation marks!
Tianhe Weikai: !!! You owe me a new phone!!
Yuhualou V: Holy crap! The user above has such high influence! Rub rub rub! Crew, how about compensating my phone too?
Don't Want to Work V: Cracked, cracked, my phone screen cracked QAQ!
zqsga V: That actor's smile almost made me leave this beautiful world [humble]
nsdd V: Within one second, I want all the information about that actor. I don't want to scroll through the promotional photos, I'm scared. I just want to see what he looks like normally, thank you thank you!
After n-number of floors...
Big Fish Eats Small Fish V: Sisters, pull me up! The comments ahead are too fierce, the comment control team can't break through! Come take a look at our gentle and sunny Yu Yu! [picture]
Small Fish Eats Shrimp V: Charge! Sisters, deploy the comment control! Go! Ah! We can't break through! QAQ, come look at our gentle and lovely Yu Yu [picture]
Garlic Fish Cake V: Sisters, give up, we can't break through, we really can't break through, we've tried our best, come look at our sweet and cool Yu Yu! [picture]
Super Loves Tomatoes V: Hahaha dying of laughter, Rong Yu's fan comment control team got pushed out beyond a hundred floors, you need to put in more effort! As a comment control team, this typing speed makes you easily lose your jobs! Even random bystanders have higher influence than you!
Big Fish Eats Small Fish V: QAQ The entire comment control team is crying themselves unconscious in the bathroom! Come look at our dashingly handsome Yu Yu! [picture]
Yuxiang Rousi (Fish Fragrant Shredded Pork) fans, because their comment influence wasn't strong enough, fell far behind beyond a hundred floors. The front-row comments were all occupied by spectators, who were almost exclusively discussing Rong Yu's smile.
Of course, aside from that downright evil smile, the malicious editing in the post-production also contributed thirty percent.
If the filming hadn't zoomed in for an extreme close-up, if the post-production hadn't heavily emphasized this shot, the audience wouldn't have been so frightened they immediately threw their phones.
At this point, basically no one was paying attention to how handsome Rong Yu's face was.
No matter how handsome a face is, when presented in such a way, it causes psychological trauma.
Even though the fans desperately waved around photos of Rong Yu's original handsome appearance, trying hard to restore their idol's gentle image in the comments under the official "Blood Mist" trailer Weibo, it was all in vain.
The impact of the "Blood Mist" trailer was too strong, attracting marketing accounts who came swarming to repost it.
