"Usually newcomers who have just debuted will act There are several idol dramas, isn't your span a bit big?"

Cheng Xia thought to himself, he just wanted to try various roles.

Xu Ziyang played by him will definitely bring surprises to everyone.

On October 10, "The Lost Trace" premiered.

The actors, directors and investors in the circle were very surprised. They thought Mr. Pei had a good cooperation with Linghu TV last time, and this time "The Lost Trace" will also be broadcast exclusively on Linghu. " mode.

For a while, Little Bear TV, My Neighbor Totoro TV, Dream Video, Linghu TV...

The video platform that can be called the name in China, one click to enter, the homepage is full of huge posters of "disappearing traces"!

On this day, as long as the netizens who click on the video platform, they will know the news of the launch of "The Vanishing Trace", which is more effective than buying hot searches.In fact, Pei Shaoze didn't spend much on publicity. In order to compete for traffic, the major websites are consciously helping him to publicize - this is the advantage of "competition and win-win".The quality of high-quality dramas is there, and how much money they can make depends on website drainage.

The major websites are not stupid. Of course, they will promote this drama as the focus of October, and make a wave of performance before the end of the year.

Since "Folding Paper" started to "change a poster a day", major websites followed suit and changed a large number of posters in turn. The largest video review website in China even appeared "Look at which website's poster" Better looking" voting post!

As a result of several websites fighting for the top spot, more than 50% of the registered members of the major platforms were attracted to this new drama.The remaining ones who don't click are audiences who are purely not interested in suspense dramas, or who are timid and don't want to watch bloody scenes.

The population of this world is more than one billion, and there are more than [-] million users registered on major video platforms. Some people have also registered members of several platforms at the same time. Playing Folded Paper can compare!

On the day of the premiere, Pei Shaoze's phone rang.

First, Mr. Liu excitedly announced the good news to him: "Mr. Pei, the backstage statistics of Linghu TV are out. Today, only the first episode was released. In less than 24 hours, the number of backstage views has exceeded 1 million!"

A single episode broadcasted over [-] million in a single day, which is a precursor to the big hit drama of the year.

Immediately afterwards, other platforms also called: "Mr. Pei, the number of broadcasts on our side has exceeded 1.5 million!"

Pei Shaoze was not excited about the good news from the major platforms, which was already in his expectation.

What he cares more about is what netizens think of Cheng Xia.

Pei Shaoze clicked on the video and watched the first episode from the beginning.

For Bear TV alone, in just a few hours, the barrage of the first episode exceeded 20.

At the beginning, many netizens swiped the screen and questioned: "I heard that this show has Omega playing the role of a criminal policeman. Let me see if it will overturn!" A school drama student may not be able to play a policeman well!"

After all, Cheng Xia is young, and the protagonist of school drama is a relatively simple character. Although his performance in "Folding Paper" has been recognized by most netizens and book fans, from "school drama" to "hardcore suspense drama", This span is really too big.

Suspense dramas are not the place to talk about love and show cuteness. Once the acting skills are not good, the whole drama will be Waterloo.

The other actors in this show are all familiar veterans. Only Cheng Xia is the most uncertain factor in the whole play. Many netizens questioned that Cheng Xia's acting skills are also normal.

Of course, some of the troopers bought by competitors ridiculed them in the barrage area, and even deliberately started a war with "the role of Cheng Xia was taken by the sleeping boss again".Cheng Xia's fans were furious and cursed back one after another: "If you are blind, watch the live broadcast of the court session again?"

"Sleep, sleep, sleep, sleep is the only thing on your mind!"

"Where is the village connected to the Internet, and they are still using things that have been clarified a long time ago to repeatedly blackmail?"

"Some people stink, the malice towards Omega actors is really suffocating!"

Pei Shaoze: "..."

Cheng Xia's fan club is pretty strong.

The sailors who came to black Cheng Xia were scolded helplessly. However, netizens who questioned Cheng Xia’s acting skills were embarrassed to scold them. After all, they couldn’t guarantee that Cheng Xia could really play the role of Alpha police well. ?

In the first episode, the plot unfolds slowly.

Xu Ziyang, who graduated from the police academy, went to report to the criminal police brigade. The captain handed him a brand new police uniform. His eyes lit up, and his fingers carefully stroked the collar. The excited but embarrassed mood was vividly interpreted by Cheng Xia. .

After returning to the dormitory, he changed into his police uniform in front of the mirror and saluted to the mirror.

The young detective with a bright smile is handsome and compelling no matter from which angle he looks at it.

The direction of the barrage area has gradually changed: "There is no sense of disobedience!" "Cheng Xia is a sunny young guy, and he is actually very suitable to play this role." "Our Xia Xia is so handsome in uniform, I want to fall Him!" "I want to knock down Xiaxia + 1" "I want to knock down Xiaxia + ID number!"

The plot of the first episode was getting better and better. Xu Ziyang went back to his uncle’s house for dinner. The family enjoyed themselves happily. Xu Ziyang even bought gifts for his younger siblings. After the meal, he received a call from a classmate asking him to attend a classmate’s birthday party. Say goodbye, turn around and go out.

The plot screen flashed, and the time came to noon the next day.

Xu Ziyang returned home——

There was blood all over the floor, the uncle's wide eyes, the aunt's slashes all over her body, the bodies of the cousins ​​who had been cut in half...

During the audition, Cheng Xia's performance in this scene was recognized by the director. In the later shooting, the details were more perfect, and with the bloody corpse props on the scene, the visual shock caused to the audience was even more intuitive!

Cheng Xia finished the phone call with a choked voice, squatted at the door and cried bitterly.

It was a silent, depressive cry, more contagious than howling, his shoulders were shaking constantly, he covered his mouth, and tears fell like a faucet turned on.

He lost his parents since he was a child, and his uncle's family treated him as his own. This house is where he grew up. Last night, he happily had dinner with his uncle's family. But today, his uncle's family was destroyed!

Looking at the dismembered corpse of his relative, Xu Ziyang's heart seemed to have been severely chopped several times, dripping with blood!

This scene of crying, accompanied by sad music, and blood and stumps everywhere in the house...

Even Pei Shaoze felt a little hot in his eye sockets.

Cheng Xia cried so hard that her entire body twitched.

The barrage area also flicked the screen like crazy: "I'm crying..." "It's too miserable, all the relatives who raised him were killed!" "My sister was cut off in the middle, too miserable..."" Seeing the scene of a crime where a relative died tragically, if it were me, I would go crazy on the spot!" "As an Alpha, my eyes are sore from watching it, and I haven't shed tears after watching a drama for a long time, oh, it's so cruel..."

Cheng Xia's crying scene is extremely contagious.

He cried so much that he disregarded his image, his face was covered with tears, and it looked like he was really crying, not a few drops of eye drops for show.

Whether the actor is really crying or fake crying, the audience can actually feel it.

This crying scene changed many viewers' views on Cheng Xia. After the first episode was broadcast, the wind direction in the comment area began to reverse 180 degrees.

"Cheng Xia is amazing, I completely forgot he was an Omega when I watched the drama." "The reverse character is excellent, the crying scene is too powerful, I think Cheng Xia should be a treasure among the newcomers who debuted this year." "This acting is better than some After debuting for several years and still acting in idol dramas, the traffic is much better!"

More and more Cheng Xia's acting skills were praised, and fans of Cheng Xia's Weibo also began to line up to swipe the screen.

Even Ye Mingqian, an Omega actor who has been praised for crying scenes in the industry, personally reposted Cheng Xia's Weibo: "Cheng Xia is amazing, I almost cried watching the first episode." Shen Kai also reposted Weibo, saying: " Catch up on Cheng Xia's new drama!" Chen Yijun, the queen of the music industry, tweeted praise: "My younger brother Cheng Xia is awesome, everyone, come and watch "Traces of Disappearance"."

Chen Yijun met Cheng Xia for the first time acting in the MV. Ye Mingqian and Shen Kai both met on the crew of "Folding Paper".These people took the initiative to repost Weibo to help promote it. It can be seen that Cheng Xia's popularity in the circle is also very good.

Seeing the praises on the screen, Cheng Xia couldn't be happier, and hurriedly sent a message to Pei Shaoze: "Brother Pei, they are all praising me!"

You can imagine Cheng Xia excitedly holding the phone, Pei Shaoze smiled lightly and typed a line: "Then I'll praise you too?"

Cheng Xia nodded hastily: "Yes, yes, I will give you this opportunity to perform."

Pei Shaoze suppressed a smile and boasted: "This drama is really good. My Cheng Xia is a talented player, and he has improved significantly compared to "Folding Paper". Among the newcomers who debuted in recent years, your acting skills are really one of the best. "

Cheng Xia's mood was about to fly into the sky, and she gave Pei Shaoze a row of hugging expressions.

Pei Shaoze went on to say: "Just now my phone was ringing. "Traces of Disappearance" performed very well. It premiered today, and the views on all platforms have exceeded 2 million. Excluding those repeated clicks, the combined views of all platforms, There should be 3 to [-] million."

Cheng Xia was dumbfounded: "So many?!"

Back then, "Folding Paper" only had 100 million clicks on the first day of its premiere, but I didn't expect "The Vanishing Trace" to be so fierce at the beginning.Cheng Xia is a little worried, will this drama go up and down?

Pei Shaoze said: "Trust my eyes, the disappearing trace is the biggest dark horse this year."

That night, Pei Shaoze called Cheng Xia and said, "At the end of the year, there will be awards for online dramas, and I have submitted both dramas. The one that folded the newspaper is the best actor in an online drama. You can choose it." It’s not very likely, so it would be nice to be nominated. The Disappearing Traces newspaper has quite a few awards, such as best director, best screenwriter, best editing, best music, and best actor and supporting actor in an online drama.”
