The Martial Artist Turned Movie Mogul

Chapter 51: 50. Miss the whole world Chapter 51: 50. Miss the whole world Early Sunday morning, “Journey Together” program team posted a Weibo named “Excitement Continues Tonight,” starting the promotion in advance.

Director Lin is very knowledgeable in marketing, deliberately adding a minute-long teaser under the Weibo to attract viewers.

The content was extremely thrilling.

When viewers who always keep an eye on the program’s Weibo swiped to it, the short video played automatically without the need to click on it.

In the footage, Zeng Xiumin was dressed completely differently from the other team members, becoming a major highlight.

Suddenly, the camera switched, and while everyone was relaxing, a small green snake slowly approached the group, causing shrieks of surprise among the team members.

Once again the camera switched, and during lunchtime, seven or eight fish weighing over two catties each were skewered on sticks one after another, igniting cheers from the team members, pushing the atmosphere to a climax…

The one-minute teaser, filled with suspense, accidents, comic relief, and harmonious interactions, every second narrating the challenges of this journey, captured the attention of the audience.

And in the end, the screen went black, with several large characters emerging in the center.

[Tune in at nine tonight. Please look forward to it.]
The fascinating montage paired with tense background music became the highlight of the entire Weibo post.

Following the post by the program’s Weibo, almost all the regular guest stars as well as all the members who had participated before shared the post, and Tang Shu was among them.

Consequently, many netizens saw the perilous scenes in the video.

“Holy shit, is this episode of ‘Journey Together’ that terrifying? It’s not like someone got hurt, right?!”

“Definitely, didn’t you see Shen Xianglin pulling out medical supplies from his backpack? I wonder who got hurt!”

“Could it be a bite from that snake? Oh my god, they filmed this in the Yun Province Forest, where most of the snakes are poisonous!”

“Hiss—seriously, are reality shows this intense nowadays???”

“As a doctor, I frickin’ spotted a Bamboo Leaf Green Snake, do you realize you’ve made a big deal, program team?!”

“I’m actually getting excited, will definitely tune in at nine o’clock tonight!”

“I have to watch, just for the sake of my goddess!”

…

Under the Weibo of most guests, fueled by the teaser’s content, discussions raged, and fans were captivated by these less than one minute of thrilling moments.

Of course, the comments under Tang Shu’s Weibo went off track.

As more than fifty fans of aspiring Xiao Hua collectively boycotted “Heroes in Troubled Times” yesterday, many devoted fans vented their anger on her.

The comments on her Weibo became a disaster zone.

“This Tang Shu is actually participating in the reality show ‘Journey Together’? Does she even deserve it?”

“Whether she deserves it or not is not for us to say, sisters, her connections are such that even Director Xie avoids confrontation.”

“Exactly, it’s just a reality show. Just need to throw in some money, right, right?”

“I’ve been watching her Weibo since yesterday, thinking she would apologize, but I never expected Tang Shu to have such a thick skin, even starting to promote herself!”

“Is she pretending we don’t exist? Sisters, let’s charge, for our Qiqi we must fight for her honor!”

“She must apologize, and she must also withdraw from ‘Heroes in Troubled Times’!”

“It seems like there aren’t many shots of her in this teaser. Tonight, let’s see how embarrassed she gets.”

“Waiting to see, I really want to see what Tang Shu has to offer besides her appearance.”

Among the numerous mockeries, a few of Tang Shu’s fans were also trying their best to retort.

“Holy shit, the person above, isn’t having a pretty face enough? As a face-connoisseur, I declare I’m a fan of only our Shushu’s looks!”

“Come on, come all, I guarantee you’ll be blown away. Honestly, just with that face, Tang Shu could easily wipe out those other fifty-plus auditioners!”

“Our Shushu is tough, okay? Try us, don’t be chickens!”

“Bring it on. I’m afraid you’ll all be crying ‘so satisfying’ once you see!”

“No lie, guys, I’m actually the main character of that ‘sudden craving’ meme, so don’t come and then refuse to leave.”

“I gotta admit, with Shushu’s imposing presence, she would absolutely nail the role of a female assassin.”

“You people have no idea what our Shushu looks like when she’s holding the fort—support Director Xie!”

…

Since the “Journey Together” program team added the much-talked-about Tang Shu as a guest for this episode, the hot search topic about boycotting “Heroes in Troubled Times” flared up again.

You could say that the program team just threw more fuel onto yesterday’s hot search.

At this time, Tang Shu was on the business van, resting with her eyes closed, oblivious to the fact that the Jianghu Emergency Group was bustling with activity.

[Online Humble Little Director]: “Damn, I didn’t expect Tangtang’s popularity to be this—huge. The program team made it to the hot search in less than an hour!!!”

[Top Actress]: “Director Lin is on some crazy luck streak. The program’s airing coincided with such a bombshell, it basically saved them a fortune in advertising costs.”

[Eight-pack Abs]: “All I know is that tonight’s ratings are definitely going to explode. I’m going to be famous, I’m going to be famous!”

[Online Humble Little Director]: “Keep it cool, it’s not just you, the entire show is going to catch fire. The ratings are in the bag.”

[Strongest Singer in Hong Kong Island]: “Brothers, let’s do a little tit-for-tat. Let’s get the ball rolling on Weibo—”
[Top Actress]: “Let’s go, let’s go. I’ve been itching to respond to some of those comments. Let’s gang up and go!”

Hence, the gleefully spectating netizens gradually noticed that four regular guests had started following Tang Shu’s Weibo.

And they each left comments under her latest post.

[Geng Qiuqiu]: “Tangtang I’m here! Wow, it’s so lively. Girls, let’s not harbor such harsh feelings—”
[Shen Xianglin]: “Tang Shu, my new song needs a leading lady for the MV, begging for a collaboration.”

[Lin Yi]: “Don’t steal my lines, Tangtang, interested in auditioning for a TV drama over here?”

[Zhang Yilin]: “Villains, step aside. Tangtang still needs to take me flying!”

…

Netizens: “???”

“!!!”

“Wait, what’s happening here? Wasn’t Tang Shu supposed to be universally disliked?”

“Even Best Actor Lin is speaking up for Tangtang, and he’s being quite polite about it. What’s going on?”

“The world has gone fantasy, can someone explain this?”

“Holy shit, is the ‘Journey Together’ program team on drugs or something? They’re all taking a stand, and they’re siding with Tang Shu!”

“Big news, someone is actually speaking up for Tang Shu. Did I miss something important?”

“To the person above, just so you know, I went out for an ice lolly, came back, and couldn’t keep up with what was happening. Can you believe it?”

“Feels like I’ve missed the entire world!”

“What’s with Tang Shu’s connections being so messed up? She offends over fifty little flowers with one role, and yet there are several major players supporting her. Can someone tell me what happened?”
