Chapter 298: The End of "Wulin Wai Zhuan" and "Century Weekly" Leads to a War of Words
In the hotel room, clothes were in a mess, and kimonos were thrown on the ground at random, a long one here and a medium-length one there.

Cheng Cheng and Goto Risa had been doing the pornographic things for more than ten minutes, and Goto Risa was really exhausted, with her eyes dull: "It's really too exciting, I feel like I'm going to die——"

Cheng Cheng wiped away the tears on her face and kissed her tenderly:
"This is what you asked for. Are you going to behave yourself now?"

Cheng Cheng had never seen anyone as daring as her to challenge him, and dare to use provocation against him. There was nothing he could do, Cheng Cheng could only satisfy her request and launch a serious attack.

But unexpectedly, after just two or three hits, Risa Goto couldn't bear it anymore.

Speaking of which, although Risa Goto is small in stature, she has a really strong desire to fight. She is a little slut.

Goto Risa took a long time to recover from the shock and said:
"Because my brother is leaving today, Risa is reluctant to let him go and wants him to leave a deep memory~"

Cheng Cheng wiped the sweat off her face and said, "I'll come over when I have time."

Goto Risa hugged Cheng Cheng's arm and said fondly:

"Well, I will wait for you in Neon~ Come over early~ I have already found a house, and when you come over, we can live in our own house~"

-

On that day, after finishing all the matters, Cheng Cheng, Nilukzi and others boarded the return flight with the farewell of Oscar Communication staff.

The PK girl group also returned to the peninsula.

The trip to Neon ended successfully. Nilukzi appeared on six variety shows, two of which have been aired. Although the remaining four have not yet been aired, she has already made a name for herself in Neon with her unparalleled beauty.

Cheng Cheng's purpose of this trip was successfully achieved.

First, the studio has been established. "Unnatural Death" is already in filming and will premiere soon.

Second, "To Live" was successfully released in Japan and the Peninsula, grossing 3300 million RMB in Japan and 4100 million RMB in the Peninsula.

The concert "There's No Need to Be Too Normal" in Neon Hong Kong ended successfully. Cheng Cheng's popularity in Neon Hong Kong has been further improved.

In comparison, he has reached the level of a first-line star in Japan.

On the plane, Cheng Cheng opened the system and started drawing!
Strike while the iron is hot, he plans to make a Japanese EP.

Let me make a bold statement:

There are different opinions on which songs from China, Japan and South Korea are better, but they are definitely better than Korean songs, and by a large margin.

Japanese songs have diverse musical styles and many classic tracks, ranging from traditional folk songs and enka to modern pop, rock, electronic, J-Pop, etc., covering almost all music types, which is incomparable to Korean songs.

Because Cheng Cheng is making a Japanese album, he has a much wider range of choices.

Cheng Cheng made up his mind:

His Japanese EP will shock the entire Japanese music scene once it is released.

Completely established his status as a god!

Of course, first of all, every song has to be a masterpiece that will be passed down through the ages!
Cheng Cheng has already thought of the main song, which is "I've Also Thought About Ending It All."

This song is undoubtedly the number one Japanese song in his heart.

The second song is Majiko's cover version of "Psychological Effect" (心作し).

The third song, "Thank you..." (ありがとう...) by Akiko Yoshida
The fourth song is "MY ALL" by Ayumi Hamasaki

The fifth song is "Red Lotus" by LISA

The sixth song is Rui Kui’s nuclear explosion song “aLIEz”.

The results of the remaining three poems are still uncertain.

Together with Kenshi Yonezu's "Lemon", there are a total of ten songs, each one of which is a tear-jerking masterpiece!
Cheng Cheng had no idea how explosive the effect would be if he put these ten songs into the same EP, how powerful it would be, and how valuable it would be!

I'm afraid the Japanese are going to build a gilded statue for him.

Of course, all this wonderfulness depends on the premise that he can draw it!
-

When Cheng Cheng's plane was still flying in the sky.

The finale of "Wulin Waijia" is being discussed in China.

从4月29号首播，到6月23号，81集的大型古装情景喜剧《武林外传》终于播完了！

81 episodes, each 40 minutes long, is the same as two or three normal domestic dramas. But what is shocking is that from the first episode to the last, the quality of "Wulin Wai Zhuan" has not decreased at all! Instead, it has grown rapidly.

The Douban score has stabilized at 9.6 points!
The last episode even had a viewership rating of 5.21%, with an audience share of 18.77%, breaking the record set by Cheng Cheng in "The Legend of Sword and Fairy " and becoming the No. TV series in terms of viewership in the past decade.

The seven main actors (Bai, Tong, Lu, Guo, Li, Zhu, and Mo), including Xiaoliu and Captain Xing who have more roles, have also entered the public eye.

Tianxia Youth Network published:
"The 2022 new drama king "Wulin Waijia" has come to an end! It has made a lot of actors popular! Cheng Cheng has another hit drama in the film and television industry!"

"On June 6, the large-scale costume sitcom "Wulin Wai Zhuan" came to a perfect end on Fuhai TV and Lemonade Video Member Channel.

Since its launch, the drama has gained considerable popularity and has become another phenomenal hit drama.

"Wulin Waijia" has brought more than just a little shock to the domestic entertainment industry!

After a year's absence, he still returns as the "king".

From the pre-airing arrangements to the impressive performance on the first day of broadcast, "Wulin Waijia" has continuously set records in the drama market, so much so that Fu Hai TV openly "shows off" its pride in "getting" Cheng Cheng.

There is no doubt that such a highly anticipated drama is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for the entire industry!
When it was first broadcast, the popularity trend on the Lemon Video site alone was "crazy" enough.

57 minutes after its launch, the real-time popularity value exceeded 3000, making it the first drama in history to enter the Lemon Video hit club on the day of its launch.

And this was just the "appetizer". In the following hours, the popularity of "Wulin Waijia" on the site continued to break records, breaking 68 in 15000 minutes after the broadcast, and breaking 126 in 20000 minutes. As of 4 a.m. on April 30, its highest popularity value in history on the site had reached 1, approaching 26198!

The opening viewership ratings were as high as 2.36%, and the viewership share in the same period also reached 9.76%, ranking first in the country!

Afterwards, it soared all the way to the top of multiple platform charts including the Tik Tok drama list and the Weibo drama influence list!

Now, "Wulin Waijia" has come to an end, with an effective playback volume of 7.77 million times, a viewership rate of 5.21%, and an audience share of 18.77%. This "national stress-relieving drama" has become the undisputed number one drama king in 2022!

With the popularity of "Wulin Waijia", the biggest beneficiary is undoubtedly the producer behind it - Shenhua Company. This company, which was established only two years ago, has become the most promising entertainment company in Tianxia. Surrounded by a lot of capital, it has fought its way out!
Lemon Video and Fuhai TV also benefited from this.
So far we can see that whether in terms of market performance or commercial value, "Wulin Waijia" has achieved quite brilliant results.

Several leading actors in the drama also gained popularity. The successful characterization of "Wulin Wai Zhuan" is one of the reasons why it is talked about so much.

Late at night on the 23rd, the official Weibo account of “Wulin Wai Zhuan” posted: “The martial arts world remains the same, see you later!”

The main creators expressed their gratitude in the comment section: "Thank you, director!"

Ma Chun, the actor who plays Bai Zhantang, posted several stills and wrote a long article about his feelings:

"Goodbye Tongfu Inn, goodbye Qixia Town, goodbye 'Wulin Wai Zhuan'. After the hustle and bustle, it's time for me to go, but I'm still me. When I come back again, I'll be a different character. Thank you Director Cheng Cheng, thank you Director Liu Ming, thank you everyone on this journey. It's really an honor to be able to act in such a drama."

"Tong Manager" Xu Fan posted:
"I was wrong, I was really wrong. I shouldn't have signed up for this crew from the beginning. If I hadn't signed up, I wouldn't have played Tong Xiangyu. If I hadn't played Tong Xiangyu, I wouldn't have been so sad at the end of today~ If you pass by Qixia Town in the future, remember to come to Tongfu Inn to have a bowl of noodles~"

"Lv Xiucai" Li Cheng posted:
"Zi once said on a river bank: 'Time flies away like a flowing river, without ceasing day or night.' Time flies away like a flowing river, without ceasing day or night. Two months of companionship ends here, and I am grateful for everything! Friends, we will see you again in Jianghu!"

"Guo Furong".
Many characters including Yang Huilan, Xiaomi, Broken Fingers Xuanyuan, Ji Wuming, and Qian Zhanggui also posted messages to bid farewell to "Wulin Waijia".

There are so many things to say that I don’t know where to start, so I won’t say any more… Take care everyone! I look forward to Cheng Cheng’s next drama.”

The plot of the last episode of "Wulin Wai Zhuan" is:
Xiaoliu finally received a transfer order and rushed to Beijing to take up his post a few days later. Xiaoliu told him that the new constable was Ling Tengyun from the Ling family in Xi'an. Bai Zhantang was shocked. Because Ling Tengyun had fought with Bai Zhantang when he was a teenager and was almost captured, Bai Zhantang was very worried that he would be recognized in the future.

After Ling Tengyun arrived, after a period of testing and observation, he recognized Bai Zhantang as the Thief King.

He devised a plan and put the killing powder into the wine, hoping to drug Bai Zhantang, but he didn't expect that Bai Zhantang didn't drink it at all.

Not only Bai Zhantang didn't drink, no one else drank either.

After a conversation, Bai Zhantang took out his golden medal of immunity from death, and Ling Tengyun suddenly realized that he had been trapped in obsession all these years. In the end, he reconciled with himself.

The time has come to say goodbye.

Everyone at Tongfu Inn said goodbye to Xiaoliu. Ling Tengyun asked, "How did you guys get together?" Everyone smiled without saying anything and looked at the camera. Tong Xiangyu said, "That's a very long story. Where should I start?"

Finally, everyone waved goodbye and turned to look at the inn's sign:
Tongfu Inn.

The scene freezes, and "Wulin Waijia" ends here.

After watching it, many viewers had tears in their eyes. After all, this was a TV series that had accompanied them for two months. When it ended, it was like saying goodbye to an old friend, and they felt a little reluctant.

Some viewers with low tear points couldn't help crying:

"81 episodes, watching them one by one in a lukewarm manner, it's like watching a relationship slowly grow, take root, and become a period of flesh and blood, with joys and sorrows that I almost took seriously; it's like making a good friend by accident, getting along with each other in a plain way, it's become a habit, and when the show suddenly ends one day, when I think about it again, I feel warm and touched.

I really hope the story of Tongfu Inn will never end."

“After watching this drama, I really miss the time when I was surrounded by many good friends.”

"Although it's over, their voices and smiles are still there, so touching! I read the film reviews again, and it was like a gathering of old friends, expressing their reluctance to part with that group of people, their nostalgia for that time, and their yearning for that pure land."

"I like this kind of friendship between friends, and the advice to teach people to grow up. It makes me so warm that I want to cry, and there are smiles in my tears."

"I hope Cheng Cheng will continue filming! I really can't get enough of it! Xiao Liu and Wu Shuang are not together yet! Lu Xiucai has not yet been recognized by Xiao Guo's father! Another season please!"

“Forever Tongfu Inn! I hope to have such a group of good friends and a permanent Tongfu Inn.”

"When I saw Walter White gently move his lips to say "bye" to the camera in the last episode, I felt so reluctant to let go. I think there will never be another drama in my life that can make me feel so mixed."

"The performance at the end really came from their own true feelings, right?"

"The ending was everyone's waving goodbye and their reluctance, which made me cry bitterly. I have watched many movies and TV series, but only "Wulin Wai Zhuan" left me with endless aftertastes. I was also thinking about why a drama could make people have such endless aftertastes. I guess it's the people in it?
Unlike most dramas, the characters here are completely open, with human strengths and weaknesses. No one is perfect, and the characters are so real, just like the people around you and me. The joys and sorrows of the little people are close to people's hearts.

I still remember when Lao Xing used the first-person camera to enter Tongfu Inn again, it was as if I was there myself. It was a long and warm feeling, which I think is what people desire most. "

"I love Cheng Cheng so much. Only he can write a script like this."

The term #Wulin Wai Zhuan Concluding# appeared on Weibo, and similar questions appeared on Zhihu, with every netizen expressing his or her reluctance to part.

At the same time, the second season of "King of Masked Singer" has been updated to the third episode. One powerful singer after another has emerged in the show and has been discussed by the public.

In addition, news about other celebrities is also very popular, such as a certain celebrity getting married, a certain celebrity remarrying, a certain celebrity's fashion week look, etc. The Internet is like this, there is never a shortage of new things.

But just then——

A post from a Serbian student quietly popped up.

The cause was that this Serbian student simply posted a Weibo post with a few screenshots of Serbian media reports.

At first, he didn't think about attracting much attention, he just wanted to express his dissatisfaction.

However, after his post was forwarded to a QQ group by someone, it went viral instantly.

More and more people saw his post and followed the link to find the original post.

All of a sudden, his post became popular.

The fire was a complete mess.

Within a few hours, the number of likes soared to 100 million, the number of comments soared to over 10, and quickly topped the 24-hour popularity list.

The post quoted what Jonathan Johannatan, CEO of Century Weekly, said in a media interview as reported by a Serbian media:

It's ridiculous that an East Asian star becomes Century Magazine's Person of the Year.

Chekhov mentioned an idea when he was writing a script, that is: if a gun appears in the first act, then the gun will definitely fire later.

That's how the real world works.

There is no vacuum in the real world. Jonathan and Cheng Cheng are both public figures. Whatever Jonathan says in public, whether intentional or unintentional, will suffer the backlash.

Especially since his words were so unfriendly and he specifically pointed out "an East Asian star named Cheng Cheng", Tianxia netizens were very angry!
"No, what's wrong with Cheng Cheng? What's wrong with Dongya stars? Is Cheng Cheng not worthy of Century Weekly? Or are Dongya stars not worthy of Century Weekly?"

You know, Cheng Cheng's TV series (Wulin Waijia) and variety show (King of Masked Singer) have dominated the TV stations during this period, and his reputation is good now!

As luck would have it, Century Weekly hit a brick wall.

And it wasn't just Cheng Cheng's fans who were angry. Many Tianxia netizens were also angry because Jonathan was referring to "East Asian stars," which was too broad a target and seemed to be somewhat disrespectful to East Asians.

No, why do you, a crappy magazine, look down on Cheng Cheng? Why do you look down on East Asians?
"I'm so fucking laughing. This old white man still has the nerve to look down on this and that. Really, this is too funny. Black people have shit on their heads, but they didn't even stand up and say a word. Are they bullying us East Asians for being good-tempered?"

"To be honest, Century Weekly has been in decline for a long time. Now its influence on the public is not as good as that of Frog Brother. Do they know what influence Frog Brother has in East Asia?
To give you an intuitive data, two years ago, the sales of Century magazine's Person of the Year cover were only 6.5. Last year, because Crana was chosen as the Person of the Year, the sales skyrocketed to 120 million.

But it still can't compare with Frog Brother!
Let’s not talk about movies, “Fantasy”, “The Three-Body Problem”, “Journey to the West”, “The Little Prince”, etc. It’s a bit bullying to mention them. Let’s just talk about the Korean EP “The Afterglow of the Era”. Most of them were bought by people from the Peninsula, but in one day, 120 million copies were still sold! This is just the volume for one day!
I don't know how he had the nerve to say such contemptuous words."

"As we all know, dear Century Magazine is a good mouthpiece of the United States. Its loyalty to the United States is obvious to all. It always boasts about its own strengths whenever it meets people. It can only be said that a dog is a dog after all! It's not surprising that it says such things!"

"The Person of the Year of Century Magazine is becoming more and more degraded. Generally speaking, the selection criteria of Century Magazine have changed from contribution to the times to the topic of the times. As long as the topic is high enough, you can be selected as the Person of the Year. From this perspective, what basis does Century Magazine have to say that about Brother Frog? In terms of topic, Brother Frog has never been inferior to anyone. Let alone last year's No. 1 woman in the world, Crana, even if you add up the topic of the first three Persons of the Year, Brother Frog is still not as popular as him."

However, some people in the comment section doubted whether the source of the information was fake, because the CEO of such a large company could not be so stupid. How could he say such provocative words in public?

Besides, Cheng Cheng didn't provoke him at all, so this doesn't make sense.

So some people raised doubts.

Out of desperation, the blogger could only respond:
“I’m sorry. First of all, I want to apologize to everyone. I’m deeply sorry for the doubts raised by some netizens in my previous post.

The blame must be mine, because I did not provide sufficient sources of information.

However, what I want to say is that I am just an ordinary Chinese student studying in Serbia. The reason I posted the article initially was purely because I am a black fan. After reading the report, I felt a little bit unbelievable, and as a Chinese, I was a little angry, so I just posted it on Weibo.

I didn't think that the previous post would be seen by so many people, so the information is definitely incomplete, and I can understand everyone's doubts. However, regarding the content of the post, I really did not fake it. I just took a screenshot from my phone, so you can trust me.

What I don't understand is that you can question it, but why do so many people privately scold me and curse me? They also accuse me of spreading rumors and say that I was paid. Why? Is it because of my post that Serbia was scolded?
Also, as for Frog Brother, I didn’t mean to involve him, but it seems like some people have started scolding Frog Brother because of my last post, and I feel a little sorry for him.

Regarding this matter, I have verified and searched for relevant information again, and also found the video of the interview at that time. I put it below. I hope everyone can watch it for themselves. His original words at that time were exactly like that. I really didn’t change them at all.”

The video was released along with this Weibo post, and there is indeed no problem with it.

Many netizens became even more angry after seeing the blogger’s response:

"Oh my god, what kind of people are you who curse others in private messages? Is Serbia your father? Or is Century Weekly your father? You can't curse them at all?"

"Some people are just rooted to their knees and can't stand up. Cursing their foreign fathers is more painful than cursing themselves."

"Blogger, please protect yourself, these people are very crazy."

"Don't even think about it. What's there to doubt? Westerners are used to being arrogant and think that saying something bad about an East Asian star is nothing. They don't think it's a big deal to casually criticize an East Asian star.

Those of you who are skeptical have not seen the true nature of the Western 'elites'. You think that everything they do is rational and everything they say is well thought out. But how is that possible?! They are also human beings, and they can be stupid and ignorant at times!"

"Because they have a filter for Western elites. To put it bluntly, when they look down on you, they don't think there will be any consequences. They think that what they say is what they say. What can you do to me?"

"Today they can insult Cheng Cheng, tomorrow they will dare to insult every Tianxia person. After all, they don't even take Cheng Cheng seriously, so how can they take us seriously? We must collectively boycott this stupid brand."

"Why are there still people who are eager to provoke Cheng Cheng? Don't they know how to write the word death?"

"Support Cheng Cheng to start a journal too! Beat them to pieces!"

"I'm not a fan of Cheng Cheng, but I also support the boycott of this stupid brand. It would be fine if he just said Cheng Cheng, but what's wrong with adding the word Dongya? They must pay the price!"

Amidst the widespread criticism on the Internet, Cheng Cheng and his group quietly landed.

Cheng Cheng walked out of the plane cabin and took a deep breath:

Ah~ The air in my hometown is still sweet.

But he turned around and started coughing:

Damn, the sandstorm in the capital is so strong!
