Chapter 287: Chapter 163 Crushing_3

Watching as Fu Yang’s figure quickly disappeared at the roadside, Shu Wan had no intention of concerning herself with him.

Continuing forward, it wasn’t long before she stopped again and turned her head; not far off, a luxury car had been following her for a while.

"Is there something you need?" Shu Wan frowned slightly.

"Hello, new classmate." A young man poked his head out from the car, "I’m a senior to you by one year. My name is Su Zhou. I haven’t seen you before, are you a freshman?"

"Yes," Shu Wan nodded her head.

"Let’s add each other on WeChat, you can ask me anything you don’t understand."

Su Zhou said as he took out his phone, ready to add Shu Wan on WeChat.

Shu Wan shook her head, "No need."

"Don’t get me wrong, I don’t mean anything by it, I—"

Su Zhou seemed to want to explain further about adding Shu Wan on WeChat but, for some reason, his words halted midway and quickly he left the place.

Shu Wan didn’t take it to heart and continued to stroll around the less crowded parts of the school.

She had just exited the back gate when Wang Tian’s call came through, "Dear, ’Yun Ni’ is airing tonight, you need to help with the promotion. Have you noticed how long it has been since you last posted on Weibo?"

"I know, I’ll post in a bit."

Indeed, Shu Wan hadn’t been very active on Weibo, mainly because there were too many people who inexplicably insulted her there, and she couldn’t be bothered to update her status.

However, on the short video platform, Shu Wan updated her account named "Bailu people" almost every day.

The content she posted was interesting and relatable to daily life, so in the past one and a half months, although Shu Wan appeared to be dormant, she had silently accumulated over five million followers.

Now, Shu Wan’s short video platform account had finally reached the milestone of ten million followers.

But for promoting the TV drama, Shu Wan still didn’t plan to use her short video platform account; she wanted to continue to record her life there unrestrainedly.

So, Shu Wan logged onto her long-unused Weibo and reposted the drama crew’s official promotional poster.

@Shu Wan: "Surprises await tonight."

[I’m here, I’m here, is the TV drama airing? Ahhh I’m so excited, I’ve been looking forward to your appearance ever since I saw the leaked photos.]

[Wow, our Miss Su Wan is going to appear, right? Can’t wait, as a fan of the original, I am still very much looking forward to it.]

[Destroying the original, with such poor acting skills, how dare you play Su Wan? I resolutely refuse to watch; I don’t want to see my beloved book character ruined by you.]

Despite all the controversy, at eight o’clock in the evening, the drama "Yun Ni" still premiered on Peach Player.

However, the premiere’s performance was not as successful as hoped.

Because running at the same time as "Yun Ni" was another period idol drama "Palace Intrigue," which had gathered a host of popular stars.

The main actors of "Palace Intrigue" all had many fans, and the plot of the first two episodes was full of twists and turns, which captivated viewers.

By comparison, the start of "Yun Ni" was quite bland and narrated a lot of unrelated plots, featuring only the main actors Qin Yu and Lin Man for a while, with Shu Wan not appearing at all.

After the two episodes aired that night, various platforms began to compare the two TV series.

"I have to say, ’Yun Ni’ has really bombed this time, its ratings have plummeted."

Coincidentally, Liu Ying, who had previously had friction with Shu Wan over a magazine issue, happened to be playing the second female lead in "Palace Intrigue."

After that incident, it took Liu Ying enormous effort to recover her image, but her resources were still greatly affected.

She and her team held a burning grudge against Shu Wan, and now with both dramas airing simultaneously and "Palace Intrigue" achieving such good ratings, her team naturally invested in various trending searches.

"’Yun Ni’ ratings dismal, completely crushed by ’Palace Intrigue,’ undoubtedly the worst TV series of the year."

"Top scorer Shu Wan’s drama debut meets a cold reception, netizens cry out, go back to studying, the entertainment industry is not for you."

[Is it that bad... I was thinking about checking it out, but with such low ratings, it’s probably hard to watch.]

[Shu Wan has never really had much acting skill. Liu Ying is professionally trained, okay? Though not as pretty as Shu Wan, her acting is solid.]

Using the first broadcast’s comparison, "Palace Intrigue" pressed on, aggressively marketing its overwhelming success over "Yun Ni."

The next evening, the ratings for "Yun Ni" were still not great, but they did improve slightly from the first day.

It wasn’t until the third night.
