Movie/TV: How could my sister be Qiao Jingjing?

Page 242

[I'm speechless about this theme song.]

I feel like one song could ruin an entire drama.

[Was this done on purpose by the production team? To generate hype? I must say, you succeeded. Hmm, I'm not planning to watch this show.]

[The first ever theme song that seems to have wandered onto the wrong set.]

[If you can't find someone to write songs, we'll recommend some. Don't let one song ruin an entire show. @Qiao Jingjing]

[Jingjing, your drama is about to be ruined by a bad production team! Come to @QiaoJingjing immediately!]

[Holy crap, how could I forget about this... With Qiao Jingjing's brother around, how could we not have good songs?]

Yes, yes, the title track for Zhang Yutong's new album was written by Qiao Jingjing.

"【Oh my god, how could I forget about this big shot? Look for Qiao Jingjing! If you don't even understand this basic principle, how are you going to survive in the entertainment industry?】"

...

The cast and crew of "Chinese Paladin".

"Director, there are more and more people criticizing us online."

"Director, isn't that enough? We've built up enough hype. If this continues, won't things get out of control?"

"It's out of control, and many people are saying they're going to drop the show."

"Why would I abandon a show just because of a song? I'm just making empty shouts."

"But too many negative comments will affect the ratings."

The director said, "Have the PR department issue a statement immediately. If people are criticizing us, it means our publicity stunt was very successful."

"Quickly put up the real theme song and make a new promotional video."

Therefore, life is full of routines.

The production team isn't stupid; they can tell whether the theme song is appropriate or not.

It's all for the sake of "self-deprecation".

This is to attract attention, and once the hype builds up...

Once the goal of attracting attention is achieved, the whitewashing begins.

Put the real theme song on it.

Just like celebrity scandals, this is a common publicity stunt.

Soon, the production team released a new promotional video.

The theme song is stirring and uplifting, perfectly matching the background of the TV series.

but...

[A new promotional video?]

The theme song is so-so; at best, it fits the theme, but it's really not good.

[I waited all day, and this is what you give me?]

【MDZZ.】

[Without careful production, a good song can perfectly complement a TV series, while a bad song can ruin a good show.]

Are you guys really going to make a fuss? This song is much better than the one before. Are you watching the show or listening to the music?

[Yes, the promotional video is really great. I came for Zhang Jinyun.]

[I'm used to criticizing, so I just have to vent.]

[What did the production team say on Weibo just now? They said they would definitely satisfy us, and they would do their best to select good songs. I couldn't believe them. This song is just so-so.]

[It's really not a good song. If they had released it earlier, even if people complained, it wouldn't have been this intense.]

This shows the production team wasn't putting in any effort; the TV series is probably poorly made.

What I fear most is someone stirring up trouble.

Regardless of whether it's good or bad, I'll just criticize it first.

They even made a very logical and eloquent criticism, which directly misled countless netizens.

Furthermore, the theme song is indeed mediocre and not particularly outstanding.

At first, some people defended the production team, but in the end, it was all criticism.

The cast and crew of "Chinese Paladin".

"Director, the investors called and told us to resolve the issue immediately."

"Director, I also received a call. The investors said that we went too far with the hype, and we must bring the public opinion back on track."

The director exclaimed, "What's most hateful is the mindless trolls who stir up trouble!"

The production team quickly implemented countermeasures.

"Go buy news to whitewash your image."

"Let Zhang Jinyun and Qiao Jingjing also say something on Weibo."

"Director, should we change the song?"

The director frowned, pondered for a moment, and finally nodded:

"Find it first, and try not to change it if possible."

While not widespread, the phenomenon of uncontrolled hype in the entertainment industry is not uncommon.

Many celebrities and film crews have had this experience and learned this lesson.

While the public is easily swayed, they are not fools; they will believe whatever you say.

Another point to consider is the possibility of interference from competitors.

The director suspected that some of the trolls stirring up trouble were hired by competitors.

Subsequently, Zhang Jinyun and Qiao Jingjing promoted their new film on Weibo and called on fans to support it.

After finally managing to turn public opinion around somewhat, who knew that it wouldn't be long before...

This song is alright, but compared to my brother's songs, it's absolutely garbage.

A comment appeared on the official Weibo account of the production team, and the commenter was Qiao Jingjing, the female lead of the TV series.

"Director, director, Qiao Jingjing is publicly criticizing us in the comments on Weibo."

The staff member in charge of Weibo shouted.

Qiao Jingjing's comment was from half an hour ago and was pushed to the top by netizens.

Netizens responded in various ways, some agreeing and others angrily criticizing Qiao Jingjing.

[Big Jingjing, hold on tight, we're taking you up.]

Great minds think alike.

[Jingjing, this isn't right. This is your show. Are you trying to start a fight?]

[It is suspected that there was a conflict between the production crew and Qiao Jingjing during filming.]

Zhang Jinyun's fans launched a tirade of insults.

[Get lost, you think you're so great just because you sing?]

　4.5 [What did the production crew do to you?]

......

"Why is Qiao Jingjing meddling in this? She's stirring up trouble."

The director jumped up and yelled, "Does she have to try and ride on the coattails of someone else's popularity even for her own film?"

The staff member was also furious: "She's an elderly woman, how can she be so inconsiderate?"

"You've gotten too big for your britches."

"Director, should we fight back?"

The crew was already furious about the out-of-control hype surrounding the film.

Qiao Jingjing jumped out again to fan the flames and kick someone when they're down.

"Uh……"

The girl who had just discovered Qiao Jingjing's comment looked embarrassed. "Um... Director, this isn't Qiao Jingjing's Weibo account; it's a fake."

The director leaned closer to the computer and almost vomited blood:

"What's wrong with you? Pay more attention to your work."

The crowd, who were in the middle of a heated argument, suddenly fell silent.

He thought to himself, "Yes, how could Qiao Jingjing be so stupid? This is her own performance."

There are too many fake accounts on Weibo.

Which celebrity doesn't have several fake accounts impersonating them?

Aside from lacking real-name authentication, the imitation is almost indistinguishable from the real thing.

Not to mention the ton of impersonation livestreamers in short videos...

The netizens' nature is to launch a barrage of criticism without saying a word.

Then it was quickly discovered that this was a fake account, and another wave of criticism ensued.

These fake knockoffs are so annoying, they're just plain stupid.

[The whole family went to the crematorium.]

[Let's stop here, this is fake.]

[A bunch of blind fools, they can't even tell the difference between a high-quality fake and a genuine one. Jingjing shouldn't be blamed for this.]

Qiao Jingjing's fans are emerging:

Are the production team idiots? Why didn't they just ask Jingjing to sing the song? Would she really refuse her own role?
