Chapter 410: Car Accident, Terrible Defeat
Qi Ming V: After four months, "Allure" finally premiered! I’m oddly excited. There are Easter eggs in the series, and it’s full of handsome men and beautiful women. Come enjoy the beauty of this prosperous era [Tempt][Tempt]
He Dongdong V: Compared to the premiere of "Allure," I’m more curious about who Noble Consort Mei is. @Director Xu Jiayang / Director Xu, are you really not planning to reveal a bit? [Smile]
Besides the four main actors, other supporting actors also re-posted the Weibo.
Unfortunately, "Allure" had cast a bunch of unknown newcomers, so their Weibo followers were limited and their ability to draw attention was almost negligible, which didn’t have much of an effect.
An hour later, the Weibo influencers bought by Leng Yan began to repost as well.
Still, it was like a stone sinking into the sea.
In the overwhelming promotion of "Deep Palace," the promotional effort of "Allure" was like a grain of sand in the ocean, incapable of stirring any waves.
Even Xia Weibao, known as the queen of headlines, couldn’t generate buzz.
The situation was gloomy.
That afternoon, the official Weibo account of "Deep Palace" released news.
"Deep Palace" had set a final air date, premiering on the evening of August 12th at 7 PM, which was the exact time "Allure" was slated to debut!
Soon after, the director of "Deep Palace" led the entire main cast to a press conference to promote the premiere of "Deep Palace."
The scene was spectacular and the momentum was huge!
After the press conference, the main cast and other heavyweight actors split up and went to various parts of the country to hold promotional events, building momentum for "Deep Palace."
You should know that "Deep Palace" was star-studded. In addition to the queen of viewership, Chu Ying, and the emperor of acting, Yi Qiutong, the other supporting actors were also big names!
Their appeal was extraordinary!
As soon as any director, producer, or actor reposted something on Weibo, it instantly made headlines!
Not to mention the gold-burning promotional events happening all over the country, the influence was tremendous!
Even those who didn’t follow the entertainment circle knew about "Deep Palace" airing soon.
Overnight, the topic "#Deep Palace Premiere#" had already dominated the top three spots on the trending searches!
In the face of such a grand promotion, "Allure" seemed small and pitiful.
Inside the Hongtu CEO’s Office, Xia Weibao was munching on spicy strips and browsing Weibo when she suddenly noticed "Allure" seemed to be in the tenth spot on the trending searches.
She was stunned for a moment, then her face darkened, "’Allure’ made it onto the trending searches."
Leng Yan was already frowning in dismay, but upon hearing her, he opened Weibo as well.
When he saw the topic, he nearly choked with rage!
#’Allure’ Collides with ’Deep Palace’ and Suffers a Crushing Defeat#
To trend under such circumstances was truly embarrassing.
The comments below were even more infuriating!
—"Deep Palace" is finally airing! Looking forward to the beauty of Chu Ying’s era!
—"Been looking forward to "Deep Palace," and now it’s finally going to air [Excited]"
—"Seriously, how does ’Allure’ have the nerve to air at this time? ’Deep Palace’ invested three hundred million, how much did ’Allure’ have, thirty million? ’Deep Palace’ is full of big stars, while ’Allure’ has a bunch of newcomers, who gave them the courage to go head-to-head with ’Deep Palace’?!"
—"Who says ’Allure’ has only newcomers? Isn’t there still Best Actress Xia Weibao?"
—"That’s Xia Weibao the flop, right? Trash director, trash crew, they actually dare to challenge my ’Deep Palace’"
—"The filming wrapped up at the beginning of July, and it’s airing in just a month. Post-production must have been rushed. What kind of quality can it have."
—"Exactly. Normally, TV dramas take a year after wrapping up before they air. Even for web dramas with small productions, it takes several months at least, but this is just one month. How can there be any quality, tsk tsk..."
