An explosive piece of news appeared in New York. Eric had announced that he was going to act!
That’s right, Eric was acting!
All of a sudden, the Big Boss of Entertainment stirred up a storm in the industry. Some were doubtful, some were shocked, some just wanted to follow the crowd and others were waiting to be pleasantly surprised. When everyone heard this news, their reactions were different.
When Bai Yu heard this news, she simply sneered, “What game is he trying to play this time?”
But, just as she was waiting to see how her viewership ratings would surpass her previous record, an interesting video began circulating in New York…
It was a collaboration bet**en Kaleidoscope and a famous browser. As soon as the netizens opened the browser, the video would automatically pop-up. As the video was of a high quality, it quickly attracted the attention of youngsters…
As for the content of the video, it was none other than a climactic scene from ‘The Forensic Concubine’: the scene where Jun Yilan was forced to abdicate his thrown on his wedding night with Qing Lan…
“Hey, I saw a video today…I think it was related to ‘The Forensic Concubine’!”
“Me too!”
” 1!”
“F*ck, to see this video, I repeatedly opened the browser. I tried so hard to see it. Did you guys notice who the actor playing Jun Yilan was…?”
“My God! It’s Eric! I’m going to explode. Quick, let’s tell everyone. It’s f*cken so good that I want to cry!”
“Oh dear God, it’s Eric; it really is Eric; it’s actually Eric! I can’t believe it! Have you guys seen it yet? If you haven’t, you should hurry over and check it out…”
Soon, the video received a large number of views. In fact, a few detailed fans even noticed that cl**king on the video would take them straight to the official website of ‘The Forensic Concubine’.
This time, the official website was no longer plain and deserted. Because now, sitting in the spot where a question mark previously represented the male lead was a photo of Jun Yilan.
That’s right, it was a photo of Jun Yilan from the drama!
And there, written on the top right hand side of the photo in beautiful ancient calligraphy were the words, Jun Yilan — played by Eric.
“I’m going to go crazy! I’ve never seen an actor that is so accurate to the author’s description. Eric is perfect! Especially when he is dressed in armor. He looks powerful, but heartbreaking.”
“But, the problem is, can Eric act?”
“I don’t care if he can act or not. Even if he just stands still and does nothing, I’m willing to sit through 80 episodes.”
“When will ‘The Forensic Concubine’ be aired? I really want to see Jun Yilan. I’m so excited!”
“My heart has never felt so much suspense from a drama before. I hope Kaleidoscope announces their air date soon. Otherwise, a few snippets from the drama would be just as good…”
“It’s so good. Emma and Eric are exactly what we wanted from Qing Lan and Jun Yilan. The vibe is perfect!”
…
There were plenty of cheers from the audience, especially from youngsters. Because anyone that watched the video were drawn in by the short 10 seconds of footage.
Since the youngsters were all focused on finding more information about ‘The Forensic Concubine’, the number of people sitting in front of the television diminished. Even though Bai Yu still had complete confidence in her drama.
“I refuse to believe that a short cl*p like that would be able to cause much of an impact.”
Indeed, a short cl*p wasn’t going to do much, but, the next day, the viewership ratings for ‘Concubine Emma’ still shocked the industry.
During its opening, the rating exceeded 2. But, after 2 days, it had already dropped to 1.4, all because of the simple video released by ‘The Forensic Concubine’. 10 seconds was all it took to almost cut ‘Concubine Emma’s’ viewership rating in half.
As for the fact that Eric was acting as Jun Yilan, the entire industry was shocked.
After all, no one expected that Eric could act.
Above all, plenty of experts doubted that he had any acting skills at all.
But, in the past, didn’t Emma manage to change from a model to an actress?
Regardless, the most shocking thing was, the reaction towards Eric acting as Jun Yilan was huge. For the entire day, the words ‘Eric Jun Yilan’ sat at the top of search rankings. One could imagine that the amount of attention it attracted was frightening.
Eric seized the moment. So, as if on purpose, that night at 8pm, during ‘Concubine Emma’s’ broadcast, he released the latest trailer for ‘The Forensic Concubine’. This time, the video lasted for 3 minutes!
With the release of this 3 minute trailer, the fans once again went crazy. After all…
…the Jun Yilan portrayed by Eric was so handsome that even the Gods had to agree!
Everyone aimed to watch the trailer because of Eric’s handsomeness. But, they ended up being convinced by the 3 minute cl*p. They had to admit that the acting in the drama, especially Emma’s was realistic and full of life. As for Eric, he exceeded everyone’s expectations. He completely looked like an experienced actor who handled every scene with ease.
“Boo, this is no fun. I want to watch the real thing.”
“How is 3 minutes enough? Just release the real thing, Kaleidoscope!”
“Wow, I originally thought that since Emma and Eric were a couple, their acting would be lacking. But, as soon as they got into character…I couldn’t find any trace of the real them.”
“I don’t care. This is the Jun Yilan that I wanted! I’m extremely satisfied!”
Because of the 3 minute trailer, plenty of people ended up losing interest in ‘Concubine Emma’. After all, it had only started airing for 2 days and they hadn’t developed any sentimental feelings towards it yet. Above all, ‘The Forensic Concubine’ was an adaptation of a quality IP with fans that already felt deeply about it. So, with the addition of Eric, the drama created quite a stir.
As a result, by the fourth day, the viewership ratings for ‘Concubine Emma’ dropped to 1.1. If it continued at the same rate, it was possible that it would even drop below 1. So, the crew of ‘Concubine Emma’ suddenly felt a sense of panic.
Meanwhile, Bai Yu was so angry that she smashed everything on the floor.
She never imagined that ‘The Forensic Concubine’ would make a comeback like that.
Her glory, her viewers and her chance to become the Queen!
Because of Eric and Emma, she had lost it all.
In response, ‘Concubine Emma’ decided to host a few events to save the situation. But, trying to win back viewers that had already been lost was not an easy task to achieve.
As she watched Emma and Eric’s followers increase and ‘Concubine Emma’s’ viewers decrease, Bai Yu finally felt it was impossible to make a comeback. Initially, she thought that she’d be able to take a breath after ‘The Forensic Concubine’ finished its first round of promotions. But, the thing that made her breakdown even further was the announcement that ‘The Forensic Concubine’ would be airing on an opposing channel during the exact same primetime slot.
Previously, when the channel that ‘Concubine Emma’ was airing on, saw that the popularity of ‘The Forensic Concubine’ was through the roof, they had contacted Eric in private. At that time, Eric simply said to them, “If you are willing to remove ‘Concubine Emma’ from your channel, then I’m happy to air ‘The Forensic Concubine’. Otherwise, don’t even mention it.”
But, of course, the channel couldn’t just remove ‘Concubine Emma’ for no reason. So, they had to regretfully give up on the right to air ‘The Forensic Concubine’.
They must have never imagined that cooperating with ‘Concubine Emma’ was equivalent to offending Kaleidoscope and Eric…
So, Eric ended up cooperating with their biggest competitor and chose the same airing time.
This competition was exciting enough, wasn’t it?
Although everyone expected ‘Concubine Emma’ to suffer a huge blow, when they actually saw the ratings, they were still shocked beyond belief.
0.59 vs 3.1.
The viewership ratings for ‘Concubine Emma’ was even worse than the morning news broadcast.
‘Concubine Emma’ was the perfect example of opening high and ending low.
But, in reality, everyone knew that the situation had changed because of Eric’s attack.
It was because he was a smart decision maker.
So, the first day of airing for ‘The Forensic Concubine’ resulted in rave reviews.
“Haha, I’m so happy. Seeing Qing Lan and Jun Yilan together fills me with joy.”
