Chapter 74 Even the Protagonist Loses
Finally, through their joint efforts, they not only managed to keep Hai Xuan from noticing anything amiss, but also successfully released the trailer. By the time they realized something was wrong, it was already too late.
"Once tonight is over, the result of who everyone prefers in terms of acting will be clear. Then, no one else can easily interfere with the normal filming of 'Lurking'." Jiang Wei turned to look at Liu Chun and the others, saw them to the door, and watched them get into the car: "Brother Liu, I'm already looking forward to your return."
Sitting in the passenger seat, Liu Chun waved and said, "Director Jiang, you should also get some rest. We'll come back tomorrow."
Not long after they left, Fuwei, who had been keeping Haixuan occupied, came over. After confirming that the matter had been successfully completed, they didn't say anything more, went straight into the house, closed the door, and fell asleep shortly afterward.
Under a large tree in the distance, Hai Xuan and Qiu Dabo stood together. They had just followed Director Fu Wei and hadn't seen Liu Chun and Pang Wenke.
"Did you notice when Liu Chun and the others left?" Hai Xuan asked. He had been discussing things with Director Fu Wei the whole time and hadn't paid any attention to this matter at all.
Qiu Dabao thought for a moment, then quickly explained to him, "Brother Haixuan, I was just chatting with you and Director Fuwei, so I don't know where they went!"
Hai Xuan felt helpless about this, so she simply stopped talking.
A few minutes later, he said to Qiu Dabao, "Send a few people to check over there. If they don't find anything unusual, go back and rest. We..."
"Beep beep beep!"
A violent vibration came from my pocket, accompanied by music starting up.
Hai Xuan jolted awake and immediately took out the phone, answering, "Hello! What are your orders, Young Master Si?"
A questioning voice came from the other end of the phone: "Where are you now? Have you turned on the TV to watch anything?"
"No!" Haixuan asked疑惑地, "Did something happen today?"
"You guys have been tricked. If you want to know what happened, just watch the trailer for tonight's hottest TV series, and you'll find out what's going on."
"Beep beep beep..."
Upon hearing the word "TV series" mentioned by the other party, Hai Xuan seemed to realize something. Without caring whether Qiu Dabo understood or not, and without explaining to him, she took a taxi home directly.
"Hai Xuan, what happened?"
"Something's happened on set, and it's very likely that Liu Chun and his group were behind it. Let's go back and check it out."
"it is good."
In reality, Qiu Dabo was just a pawn at most, and no one cared about his final fate. However, when he heard Hai Xuan talk about the film crew, he started to get anxious, fearing that something might happen at this crucial juncture.
He was constantly on edge, and when he got home, he was completely numb and his behavior became very abnormal.
The two turned on the TV and watched a scene that appeared most frequently. It was a TV series with two male leads, one named Liu Chun and the other Qiu Dabao. The identical plot points made them obvious objects of comparison, and below it were polls and comment sections.
Although Liu Chun received a significant number of votes, Qiu Dabao had a noticeably larger number of voters and a more active comment section.
Are you nervous?
Qiu Dabao, who was still out of it, came to his senses and saw that he had a lot of votes, surpassing Liu Chun's side, so he naturally felt no psychological pressure.
"Liu Chun thinks he can compete with me? I'd appreciate it if Hai Xuan could tell him to cover himself up in bed tonight and dream about it. Maybe he can beat me in his dreams."
"Hmph, you brat..."
However, Hai Xuan, leaning back in her sofa chair, reminded him, "This matter isn't over yet, and it's only just begun. It doesn't mean Liu Chun won't have help... Hey, look, his votes are going up."
The two kept watching the television until the votes were tied and remained unchanged for a long time. Only then did they breathe a sigh of relief.
"It seems he's already used up all his votes. All we need to do now is keep getting people to vote, that shouldn't be a problem."
Qiu Dabao got up to wash up, while Hai Xuan remained glued to the TV, watching the vote count. Meanwhile, Liu Chun's vote count hadn't changed for quite some time.
……
The next day, after waking up, Hai Xuan immediately checked the trailer voting results.
"5000:11700!"
He breathed a sigh of relief: "Phew, we won after all!"
……
Once everyone arrived at the film set, they all learned what had happened the night before and began discussing it endlessly, making it the hottest topic of the moment.
"Whoa!"
Qiu Dabo yawned and looked at Hai Xuan, who hadn't slept well, and said, "Brother Hai Xuan, I think you're just carrying too much pressure. Actually, Liu Chun isn't as strong as you thought. He was defeated in just one round. He's so lame."
"If that's really the case, that would be wonderful."
On the other side, Director Jiang Wei arrived outside the film crew early to wait for Liu Chun. He had also seen the voting results, and Liu Chun's votes were rising slowly, as if no one was really watching.
"What should I say when I see him later?"
After a period of anxious waiting, Liu Chun and his group finally arrived.
After the two got out of the car, Jiang Wei couldn't tell that they were anxious at all, as if they were oblivious to what had happened the night before.
"You've finally arrived."
Liu Chun offered him a hot steamed bun: "Want some?"
"Oh dear, I'm not in the mood right now. Did you guys check out the poll results from the trailer last night?" Jiang Wei quickly asked, preparing to show them on his phone.
"We've already seen it, there's nothing more to say," Pang Wenke explained from the side, eating a steamed bun and drinking soy milk, as if this matter really didn't affect them much.
Jiang Wei explained to them, "This might also be related to Hai Xuan. And how could so many people like watching Qiu Dabo's performance? It seems impossible no matter how you look at it; it's far beyond my expectations."
"Director Jiang, don't rush. Let's go in first. After all, we can come to the film crew's place too. I also heard that several investors have already arrived today. It's a good opportunity to meet them."
Liu Chun said nothing more and led Pang Wenke toward the film set.
Actually, they didn't try to recruit anyone last night. It was the two directors who didn't want to see him leave the crew, so they did this.
Later, after Pang Wenke used his organizational power to determine the number of votes, it was found that the votes were blocked by someone behind closed doors. If others wanted to see the votes, they could not vote.
Liu Chun has seen that the total number of viewers for her portrayal of Yu Zecheng has reached hundreds of thousands, but the number of votes and comments is still very small.
They tried again, only to find that they had been blacklisted and couldn't do anything.
"Brother Liu! You lost so badly last night, yet you still dare to come to the film set today. Aren't you afraid at all?"
Hai Xuan said smugly, "Let me tell you, so what if you're the main character? You'll still lose miserably when it's your turn to lose. You need to understand that."
After saying that, he walked towards Qiu Dabao and the investors. The two sides chatted and laughed, looking like they had known each other for a long time.
