This ancient fantasy drama titled "Mortal Immortals" became a hit as soon as it was aired, thanks to the huge fame of Shen Susu and Fu Huaijin.

Thanks to its compact plot, vivid characters, and logic that doesn't treat the audience as fools, the TV series quickly saw a surge in traffic.

The production team didn't even put in much effort in promoting the series. Relying on the discussions among fans, the content of the TV series basically made it into the top ten hot searches for every episode.

"My mom, who doesn't watch fantasy dramas, now watches TV every night waiting for updates. It feels like I'm back to the craze of watching "The Forbidden City". I really like this kind of drama that doesn't treat the audience as fools! Everyone has their own logic for doing things. Even if they are torturing the characters, there are reasons behind it. Every character has a mouth. There is no dumb plot where you have to guess what's going on."

"Not only do my mothers like to watch it, my grandparents also like it. They think Shen Susu and Liu Kang, the handsome man and beautiful woman, look like a perfect match. They even like them as a couple."

"Mr. Fu fainted in the toilet crying. When he was filming this drama, he didn't want to see the audience ship his wife and someone else together!"

"Fu Huaijin: If I had known this would happen, I would have let this drama rot in the ground."

Many people made fun of the memes, but it also proved that the show was really popular.

It's not even halfway popular.

In recent years, many TV series have been well-produced in the first two episodes, but have become increasingly worse in the later episodes. Many TV series that were popular at the beginning have even ended badly.

Although this was Fu Huaijin's first time directing a TV series, he was very strict in controlling the rhythm of the overall plot. In just thirty episodes, he told a story that others might need three hundred episodes to tell clearly.

"I really didn't expect that this TV series only has 30 episodes. It's not padded at all. The plot pace is too fast. If it's a little slower, or if you miss a little, it will feel like you missed several episodes. I really want to watch 300 or 3,000 episodes of such a TV series!" an audience member sighed.

"You have been pua'd by the watered-down TV series nowadays. In fact, many TV series were not watered down when they were filmed. It was when they were broadcast that the video platforms watered them down like crazy in order to increase the number of members and make the advertisements look good. Last time, the director of someone's TV series edited 50 episodes, but the video platform watered it down and stuffed memories in, stretching it to 80 episodes. Twenty out of the 40 minutes in one episode are just memories. What on earth are the audience watching?"

"I think Fu Huaijin has some issues too. It's obviously his own streaming platform, and the TV series are obviously very good, but he doesn't offer advanced on-demand streaming, doesn't offer watered-down memories, and doesn't have member-exclusive ads. How does he make money like this? What do his peers think?"

"You guys are really right. I feel like I'm losing out when I subscribe to membership on other video platforms. But I feel like I'm losing out when I subscribe to Fu Huaijin's video membership."

"Oh, yes, yes, yes. If we don't spend any money, why does Shen Susu go on a shopping spree? Why does Fu Huaijin change his house to a big house and drive a luxury car?" There are people who often sing a different tune.

This person who sang a different tune did not expect that he could curse capitalists normally, but when he cursed Shen Susu and Fu Huaijin, he was opposed by a group of people.

"Fu Huaijin is indeed a capitalist, but he didn't suck blood from us that much. Don't hate him too much, you upstairs."

The man immediately retorted: "You just paid for the video membership, and you forgot that you spent money? Aren't you making money from us?"

"Such a large website doesn't require investment? You enjoy their services, but are you really not willing to pay anything? Are you just looking at online disks?"

The man actually admitted: "I just can't stand these capitalists making money, so I have always been watching online disks."

Someone immediately said, "If you don't have a mindset for spending money, you won't be able to acquire a mindset for making money, and you may end up being a slave for the rest of your life."

The man who proudly said that he was watching the network disk, when he heard this, suddenly showed a big breakdown on the spot.

"I'm not not making money! I make money! I'm not a beast of burden!"

But the more he refuted, the more others laughed at him, and some even dug up his consumption level based on his past comments.

"How can a 35-year-old middle-aged man get by on 100 yuan for half a month? This was his last comment. He really has a hard life. Let's give him some slack."

Because his most embarrassing side was exposed, the person who made hateful remarks about capitalists fell completely silent.

The comment section returned to discussing the plot.

Just at this time, Fu Huaijin posted on Weibo.

The content of his Weibo post is quite simple, consisting of only one sentence: "The god in your mind".

This is actually also a reward activity. If you reply with this title and it is written very well, you will be given a one-year membership of the video website. A total of 100,000 video memberships will be given away.

"One hundred thousand video memberships a year, President Fu is really generous! Sisters, let me speak first!"

Because the quantity donated by Fu Huaijin was large enough and the threshold for obtaining it was low, there were quite a lot of people participating.

The first person who wrote a short essay was not actually very good, but within five minutes of him posting it, Fu Huaijin replied to him and offered him a video membership.

The effect of this was immediate, and many people also brought up the title of "Fan Chen Xian". Within half an hour, it became a hot search.

Although everyone knows that Fu Huaijin is promoting the TV series in disguise by doing this, in the final analysis, it is because the threshold for obtaining the prize is low enough and enough people participate. He has not even spent real money and has already carried out a very effective promotion for his own video website and TV series.

This time, it was a win-win-win situation. Netizens got annual membership cards for the video website, leaving Fu Huaijin alone to win twice.

"Can other video websites do the same? I want you to be able to collect all the dragons without spending any money!" said one netizen.

But soon someone responded: "On other websites, the TV series to be broadcast are not starring their wives, nor are they filmed by themselves. If the website loses membership fees, it is equivalent to taking money out of their pockets. How can they be willing to do that?"

It is indeed difficult for other websites to promote like this, because there are very few people like Fu Huaijin who personally invests in all the TV series. While this is very risky, it can also ensure that the money earned will eventually return to one's pocket. Unless one can ensure that the work will continue to make money, no one will do this.
