Yu Qianqian was stunned for a moment. She knew about "Honey". She liked "Sweet" very much. This kind of sweet and warm plot is especially suitable for a corporate slave like her who is exhausted after work to relax.
But what about "Honey" and Chu Meibo?
These two words seem completely unrelated, don't they?
In Yu Qianqian's memory, Chu Meibo's image is still that of the beautiful and powerful Kui Ji in "Tianji", which is too different from the style of campus drama.
However, Chu Meibo's name was indeed mentioned in the official Weibo account's promotional materials.
Yu Qianqian was a little confused, but she quickly clicked "Make Money" before clicking on the trailer. Anyway, no matter what it was, as long as it was Sister Mei's, she had to support her.
So she watched the four-minute trailer, and then she was even more confused.
Because she couldn't find Chu Meibo the whole time!!
Yu Qianqian was both angry and confused, and posted a comment directly on Weibo.
[The production team has gone too far! Since they included Mei-jie in the trailer, why did they cut her scenes out of it?!]
Her angry Weibo post was quickly drowned out by a barrage of compliments from Wen Hanyi's fans.
Yu Qianqian was feeling very upset and was about to send a private message to the official Weibo account to demand justice when she casually refreshed the page and saw a new comment.
[Holy crap!! Wen Nan and Kui Ji are played by the same person!!][Kui Ji GIF]
Yu Qianqian was stunned.
Her first reaction was disbelief, so she opened the trailer and watched it again. She had to admit that these two characters with completely opposite temperaments were actually played by Chu Meibo, and she, who considered herself a die-hard fan, hadn't even recognized them.
Not only Yu Qianqian, but many people were shocked after watching the GIFs of Kui Ji and then going back to watch the trailer to find that it was the same person.
This acting is absolutely phenomenal!
[I was previously a fan of Kui Ji, and just recently I became a fan of Wen Nan. However, I never imagined that the person who would win me over would be the same person, @楚眉波]
Oh no, my husband can't be hidden anymore!
Chapter 76
Some busybodies put together GIFs of Kui Ji and Wen Nan and posted them in the comments section of the trailer. This comment quickly went viral, overshadowing all the other compliments.
The contrast between these two characters is simply too great.
Both women smiled, but Kui Ji's eyebrows twitched slightly, her gaze carrying a hint of disdain and contempt. Her red lips curved into a half-smile, and her mere presence was enough to make one kneel and call her queen. Wen Nan, on the other hand, smiled warmly, her eyes crinkling into crescents. She shook her head with a gentle smile, and even without speaking, her doting and indulgent nature was palpable.
Who would believe this is the same person?!
It's only been two months since Aoi-hime trended on social media, but many netizens still remember it. After being drawn in, they exclaimed "Wow!"
As a result, #AoiHimeWenNan# quickly became a trending topic.
Even the official Weibo account of "Honey" didn't expect that the first trending topic for the drama would not be a scandal between the male and female leads, nor would it be about the plot or the actors' acting skills, but rather a comparative GIF.
However, the production team reacted quickly, taking advantage of the opportunity to promote "Honey" immediately. The individual character promotions that were originally supposed to be released gradually were also put on Weibo at the same time.
With the help of the production team, the trending topic actually rose instead of falling.
So, Chu Meibo became popular again unexpectedly, and her drama "Honey" became popular even before it aired.
When Shen Huai heard the computer alarm, he was stunned for a moment. He never expected that this mere trailer would make Sister Mei a trending topic again.
Shen Huai never doubted that Chu Meibo would become famous, but her ability to trend on social media anytime and anywhere was simply astonishing.
Moreover, this isn't a good thing for Chu Meibo right now. After all, she only has two dramas, neither of which have aired yet. One appearance is fine, but frequent appearances on Weibo's trending topics can easily trigger a backlash from netizens, who might unjustly accuse her of marketing.
Chu Meibo has acting skills, and she can become an overnight sensation as long as she has the opportunity, just like Kui Ji and Wen Nan before her. So she doesn't need to take the path of becoming famous through controversy.
Furthermore, with opportunities like "Traveling with History" and "Red Star" now available, a good reputation is currently more important than superficial popularity.
Of course, that doesn't mean marketing is unnecessary. Popular actors have more opportunities, and Shen Huai understands that, but it's just not the right time yet.
Both he and Chu Meibo are very patient, so we should take a longer-term view.
Thinking about it this way, the most urgent thing now is to remove the trending topic. However, Shen Huai knows that this is related to the publicity of the production team, so he should think of a way that satisfies both sides.
Then, in the afternoon, a new topic suddenly emerged on Weibo.
#Holy crap, it's the same person!#
It started when a blogger extended the discussion from two GIFs of Chu Meibo, creating comparative GIFs of several veteran actors playing contrasting roles, which attracted many netizens to click on them.
Is this really the same person?!
Holy crap! I didn't realize XX and XX were played by the same person!
[Teacher XX! My childhood memory, I never imagined that XX was actually played by a teacher!]
The teachers' acting was really good!
My mom asked me why I was kneeling while looking at Weibo...
This topic has piqued the interest of many netizens, with many participating and comparing the most contrasting roles played by the same actor in their minds. Many people exclaimed, "XX and XX are actually the same person!"
Among them, Du Yuping, known as the "golden supporting actor," is mentioned every time.
Du Yuping is a recipient of the Golden Young Award for Lifetime Achievement. He has played more than 100 roles in his lifetime and won the Golden Young Award for Best Supporting Actor three times. He is also the most famous "chameleon actor". There are still clips of his roles on Bilibili. Although they are all supporting roles, each supporting role is outstanding.
When he received the Lifetime Achievement Award at the Golden Young Awards, the presenter said that he was "an unsurpassable golden supporting actor in film history," and his acting skills were worthy of this praise.
