Chapter 56
Actually, Feng Shiyuan's new video wasn't progressing smoothly.
After deciding to accept this sponsored video, he began watching "The Healer" drama series in earnest. From the first livestream to the final product's release, he had watched it from beginning to end.
However, though he finished watching the drama, he couldn't produce the video no matter how hard he tried.
Feng Shiyuan completely lost control of his thought process.
When thinking about the drama's strengths, ideas flowed like a spring, and he could easily write dozens of pages of script. But once he needed to write about flaws and criticize it, he would sit blankly in front of his computer, barely able to string together a few words after hours of trying.
Е n̈ù m̌ӑ..іd̊
The more difficult part was that he needed to integrate these criticisms perfectly into the video without making viewers feel like he was deliberately nitpicking.
This was truly hell-mode difficulty!

This painful creative state lasted for a long time. Even though "The Healer" had been online for a month already, Feng Shiyuan still couldn't produce a complete video.
"So why does Sister Liang insist that I point out flaws?" Whenever he thought about this question, Feng Shiyuan felt like he was going bald from stress.
As Yao Bianliang's fan, he took this sponsored video very seriously and sincerely hoped to deliver his best work, presenting Yao Bianliang with a satisfactory result.
But things weren't going as planned.
W ẽb̃n̈о̄_v̈ еl̃_ Е n u m̄ а̀
He had no idea what Yao Bianliang's purpose was, nor did he understand the significance of making this video.
It was clearly a good drama, yet she insisted he criticize it—what was the point?
So Feng Shiyuan procrastinated for another two weeks, until Yao Bianliang was about to start filming her new drama. Only then did he reluctantly produce a video he wasn't particularly satisfied with and submit it to Zhou Fei.
"Brother Fei, take a look at this video," Feng Shiyuan sighed inwardly. "I know there are many areas that need improvement, but I've reached my limits and don't know how to revise it anymore."

Zhou Fei promptly replied, "Alright, Brother Feng, we'll take a look right away."
Feng Shiyuan's commentary video wasn't long, only about five minutes in total.
Е̇ n um̈а. і d̆
This wasn't because he wanted to slack off, but mainly because Yao Bianliang's drama had so few flaws that even if he deliberately looked for issues, he couldn't find much to talk about.
However, after Zhou Fei finished watching the video, his eyes grew increasingly bright.
He could barely contain his excitement.
Yes, how could he have forgotten something so important?
Sister Liang had instructed him long ago that Feng Shiyuan would produce a video focusing on criticism.
But too much time had passed, and too many things had happened in between. By the time Lu Group began their "praise to death" strategy, he hadn't made the connection to Feng Shiyuan at all, and had worried that Sister Liang might be devastated by the excessive praise.

Now it seemed he had been worrying for nothing!
The others gathered around, their eyes filled with excitement: "Is Feng Shiyuan's video ready?"
"Yes, how could we forget something so important?"
"Why didn't I think of this brilliant move! With Feng Shiyuan setting the tone, resolving this crisis will be much easier."
If Feng Shiyuan were just an ordinary content creator, publishing such a video probably wouldn't be very effective.
Because if they had one content creator speaking out, Lu Group could hire 100 creators to counter them.
Е n̈ u m̄а
When it came to public opinion warfare, who could match the wealthy Lu Group?
Unless Yao Bianliang's studio was like Lu Group, spending money to hire countless paid commenters and having numerous marketing accounts and influential users supporting them, they couldn't possibly reverse the situation.

But Feng Shiyuan's identity was very special.
He wasn't an ordinary content creator—he was Yao Bianliang's die-hard fan!
He was the first to discover Yao Bianliang's brilliance, and also the first to strongly support her lead role in "To Our Youth."
From the preliminary selection of the "Good Drama PK Competition," he had supported Yao Bianliang all the way. Now, among her fan base, some had learned about her through Feng Shiyuan and grown to like her.
Е̃ n u̇ ḿ а̇
In the public's mind, the ID "Brother Feng Talks Film and TV" had long been associated with Yao Bianliang.
So at this moment, Feng Shiyuan's statement wasn't just representing an observer. He also represented part of Yao Bianliang's fan base, wielding significant influence over public opinion.
"That being the case, did Sister Liang ask Brother Feng to make this video because she anticipated from the beginning that Lu Group would make a move?" someone couldn't help but speculate.
Everyone exchanged glances, inwardly drawing a sharp breath.

When Yao Bianliang contacted Feng Shiyuan about making the sponsored video, the "Good Drama PK Competition" finals hadn't even started yet. She hadn't even found a suitable script!
Could it be that at that time, she had already predicted her final work would be a hit and anticipated that Lu Group would use the "praise to death" strategy against her?
W ê.bnov̆ еl Еn ú mа
After this thought emerged, Zhou Fei and the others could no longer contain their shock.
It was terrifying when you thought about it!
Two months was enough time for many variables to occur. Even a slight deviation could potentially cause the plan to fail.
Yet things happened exactly as Yao Bianliang had predicted. "The Healer" truly became popular nationwide, and Lu Group really did employ the "praise to death" strategy against her.
Even Feng Shiyuan's video production timing was predicted with perfect accuracy, coinciding precisely with her being excessively praised!
What profound foresight and advanced awareness she must possess to predict today's situation two months in advance!

"I was confused earlier about why Sister Liang specifically wanted a criticism-focused video—isn't that paying money to be criticized?" Zhou Fei murmured. "Only now do I understand... I had oversimplified things."
He could hardly remain calm now. After organizing his thoughts, he immediately returned to his workstation.
On the other end of the internet, Feng Shiyuan, seeing Zhou Fei's long silence, had sent a new message.
Feng Shiyuan: "Brother Fei, I feel like something's missing from this video, but I don't know how to fix it."
Actually, Zhou Fei felt the same way as Feng Shiyuan. The video quality was decent, but watching it, he felt it lacked a certain essence.
Feng Shiyuan's presentation was good, but he seemed like a machine completing a task. He was narrating solely to meet the "criticism" requirement, which made the video lack soul.
È n̊ù m а
Zhou Fei now believed he fully understood Yao Bianliang's intentions. Seeing Feng Shiyuan's continued confusion, he began to enlighten him.
"Brother Feng, I think to make this video properly, we must understand Sister Liang's intentions."

Feng Shiyuan felt helpless.
Didn't he know that? If he had understood Yao Bianliang's intentions, he wouldn't have struggled so much!
Feng Shiyuan: "She only told me to make a criticism-focused video, nothing else."
Zhou Fei's lips curved slightly.
Е n̆úḿ a
He said, "Brother Feng, there's been too much praise for Sister Liang online lately. Don't you think this trend seems a bit off?"
Feng Shiyuan paused: "Huh? Is that so?"
He hadn't really noticed this.
But now that Zhou Fei mentioned it, after careful consideration, Feng Shiyuan also sensed something was amiss, and his expression grew serious.

Zhou Fei said, "Brother Feng, one-sided praise isn't necessarily a good thing. Perhaps rather than praise, what Sister Liang needs more right now is criticism and encouragement."
Feng Shiyuan wasn't slow-witted. Upon hearing Zhou Fei's words, a lightbulb went off in his mind, and he suddenly understood.
W̌ е̊b n о v̆ e ľ Ѐn ů m ă
No wonder! No wonder Yao Bianliang wanted him to make a criticism video.
Because she needed people to provide feedback, to push and encourage her to move forward.
If the public unanimously praised Yao Bianliang, that wouldn't necessarily be good for her.
"I understand now," Feng Shiyuan's eyes brightened. "You mean you want me to lead fans in offering constructive criticism to Sister Liang?"
Feng Shiyuan still remembered the content of Yao Bianliang's fan super topic.
The pinned announcement clearly stated—hoping fans would offer more criticism rather than endless praise.

All the information connected, and Feng Shiyuan felt enlightened!
He was inspired again: "Thank you, Brother Fei. If you hadn't guided me, I still wouldn't understand her meaning. I'll revise the video content today, and should have the final version ready by tomorrow!"
"Brother Feng, you're too kind! I just relayed Sister Liang's intentions to you." Zhou Fei was also pleased.
Both felt they had grasped Yao Bianliang's intentions and ended their conversation with satisfaction.
After hanging up, Zhou Fei didn't relax but instead fell into deep thought.
He looked up at his colleagues: "Do you feel like something strange is going on?"
Ẇ е́b̆ ñ.о̂v eľ_ E ñù ma
The others exchanged glances and shook their heads.
Zhou Fei frowned and reopened his chat window with Yao Bianliang, reviewing their previous conversations.
Baca cerita ini hanya di situs resmi Enuma.id!
From his perspective, if Sister Liang had arranged for Feng Shiyuan as a hidden card, why would she ask them to help Lu Yanchen and add fuel to the fire?
It didn't make theoretical sense.
Zhou Fei stared at the text in the chat record, pondered for a moment, then suddenly slapped his thigh.
"I understand! I think I misinterpreted Sister Liang's meaning earlier."
Ӗ ṅ ūm_а̌ .і̇ d
Everyone was startled and quickly gathered around: "Then what did Sister Liang mean?"
Zhou Fei showed everyone Yao Bianliang's text message.
Yao Bianliang's original words were: "No need to lower the heat, you can actually add fuel to the fire."
Zhou Fei said, "Not lowering the heat, but adding fuel to the fire—isn't this asking us to increase the topic's popularity? And there's more than one way to increase popularity."

Everyone fell into contemplation, and soon, Xiaopang was the first to react.
"There are two ways to increase popularity: one is to follow Lu Group's rhetoric and praise Sister Liang; the other is to go against Lu Group and criticize Sister Liang's work."
W е̃bno v̈е l̆ Е̂nú m̄ӓ
"And now, Sister Liang has arranged for Brother Feng to criticize her work..."
Xiaopang stopped there, but everyone understood his meaning.
Since she had made this arrangement with Feng Shiyuan, how could she possibly want them to help Lu Group?
Arranging for some to praise while others criticize would be self-contradictory!
Sister Liang wouldn't make such a basic mistake, so the truth was clear.
Sister Liang wanted them to go against Lu Group. With both sides arguing back and forth, popularity would naturally increase.
Baca cerita ini hanya di situs resmi Enuma.id!
With this realization, everyone's last doubts disappeared.
Currently, public opinion was unanimously praising her, with compliments coming from all directions.
At this point, even if they tried to "clarify" by telling the public "our Sister Liang isn't that great," people would at most think they were being modest, and it wouldn't have much effect.
Since they couldn't clarify, they might as well switch to criticism mode!
The harder others praised Yao Bianliang, the harder they would criticize her.
The current one-sided situation online existed because fans and paid commenters were frantically praising her.
Е̂n ü_m̄ а̄.іd́
If they organized fans and commenters to oppose this view, with both sides arguing and muddying the waters, the issue would be perfectly resolved.
If Lu Group wanted to spend money to praise them to death, let them spend.
Baca cerita ini hanya di situs resmi Enuma.id!
In the end, all that money would only contribute to increasing their popularity without any other effect.
Realizing this, Zhou Fei felt profound admiration for Yao Bianliang.
No wonder she asked them to "add fuel to the fire" and use Lu Group's opportunity to make a big splash.
This was using the competitor's money to generate buzz for themselves!
Ѐ n um̀а̇
When Lu Yanchen's side finished their efforts, only to discover that not only did their operation not harm Yao Bianliang, but actually increased her popularity and improved her reputation, they'd probably be furious.
Just imagining this scene made Zhou Fei excited.
"Brother Fei, what should we do next?" Xiaopang asked from the side.
Zhou Fei smiled: "Brother Feng will take the lead, and we certainly can't sit idle. Let's notify the major fan accounts and unite to go against Lu Yanchen's group."
Baca cerita ini hanya di situs resmi Enuma.id!
If Lu Yanchen hired people to praise Yao Bianliang and her work, and they were to oppose them, naturally they would need to criticize Yao Bianliang's work.
"Uh, encourage fans to do something like this?"
Ẽ n ũm̀ а
Xiaopang's eyes widened slightly. He had thought they would buy some marketing accounts to compete with Lu Group.
Zhou Fei saw through his thoughts and helplessly said, "Forget about buying commenters and marketing accounts—we don't have the money."
Xiaopang: "..."
That made sense.
"This way, our fans will be just like anti-fans," someone couldn't help but mutter.
For other celebrities' fans, when their idol achieved something, everyone would be eager to praise them.
Baca cerita ini hanya di situs resmi Enuma.id!
If someone pointed out their idol's flaws, fans would either stay silent or argue back.
Classic responses were along the lines of "Do you know how hard my sister works?" or "Haters, shut up!" or "I hope your favorite flops completely."
As for fans organizing to criticize their own idol...
Come on, such a shocking scene had never been witnessed in their lifetime!
Zhou Fei's expression turned serious: "This is the task Sister Liang assigned us, and no matter what, we must complete it properly."
He paused, stood up, and looked at his companions.

"After careful consideration, to guide fans to cooperate with Brother Feng in this action, we can approach it from three aspects."
"First, emphasize in fan group announcements, super topic pinned posts, and other places that fans should offer more criticism and point out flaws."
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
This was the most basic ideological guidance. However, relying solely on this to get fans to take action would certainly not be enough.
They needed to take substantive measures to encourage fans to criticize Yao Bianliang.
The best method would be to provide incentives.
So Zhou Fei said, "Second, we can organize some lottery activities. Anyone who forwards the Weibo post and offers effective criticism of Sister Liang can participate in the lottery."
Е_nūm̊ а̌ . id̄
"If a fan's criticism exceeds five hundred words, and the likes, comments, and shares surpass a certain amount, then after review by our staff, this fan can also receive a signed photo from Sister Liang!"
Originally, Yao Bianliang's purpose in creating signed photos was to give back to fans, so after signing them, she had entrusted them to Zhou Fei.
Little did she know they would come in handy now.
Their funds were very limited, and with these signatures, they could save a considerable amount on prizes.

"Third, we can combine these activities with Brother Feng's video to achieve maximum promotional effect, ensuring that most fans know about this matter."
Hearing Zhou Fei's strategy, the other employees exchanged glances and nodded.
Е n̆ um̊ а̂. і̄d
Xia Yin softly said, "I-I think... the reward mechanism could be refined a bit more."
Hearing her speak up, everyone looked at her.
Xia Yin became more nervous, but having worked together for some time now, she wasn't as afraid to speak as she was at the beginning.
"For example, the harsher their criticism, the more rewards we offer," she said nervously.
Zhou Fei and the others were taken aback.
The harsher the criticism, the more rewards?
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
Wasn't this encouraging fans to show no mercy, to criticize as harshly as possible?
"Hmm, that's a good suggestion." Zhou Fei's eyes lit up.
Lu Yanchen's side was praising intensely, so they needed to criticize even more intensely.
They needed to turn the tide in this round.
With Xia Yin taking the lead, the other employees also began sharing their ideas.
Zhou Fei recorded everyone's suggestions. Through collective wisdom, they finally finalized the activity plan.
Ӗn̊ ūḿа.і̇_d̄
"Alright, let's do it this way!" Looking at the two pages full of plans, Zhou Fei nodded with satisfaction.

The weather was nice that day, and Yao Bianliang was in a good mood.
Filming for "Spring Warmth, Heavy Dew" began today. Mo Youqian, as the investor, generously built sets in the suburbs of K City.
Yao Bianliang boarded the chartered plane and saw a large group of staff with their neatly arranged equipment. She couldn't help but be impressed by Mo Youqian's extravagance.
This truly didn't look like an unknown small production. Judging by the scale, the investment probably rivaled international blockbusters.
Ẽ n̄ũ m а.і d
Finding a random seat, Yao Bianliang looked up and saw Mo Youqian sitting by the window.
The man's features were stern, his long legs crossed, his slender fingers tapping lightly on his phone screen, his black eyes showing confusion.
"President Mo, what's wrong?" Yao Bianliang couldn't help but ask.
Mo Youqian raised his eyes to look at her, and after a moment of silence, slowly said, "Why... is our popularity so high?"
Baca cerita ini hanya di situs resmi Enuma.id!
His tone carried a hint of resentment. The way he looked at Yao Bianliang was like staring at a con artist who had deceived him.
Today was supposed to be an utterly ordinary day. Mo Youqian had instructed his assistant to check the almanac specifically, and learning that today was "not suitable for new beginnings," he had chosen this auspicious date instead.
Еn u̇mа . іd
But early in the morning when he opened Weibo, the top trending topic was #YaoBianliangNewDramaFilming#, with discussion volume completely off the charts.
[Ahhhh, is Liangliang's new drama finally here? Can't wait!]
[It's a historical romance drama, I'm in!]
[Liangliang is finally starring in a TV drama, and her first one is a big-budget historical production. I'm crying, this is so great.]
These comments were countless, giving Mo Youqian a heart attack.
He just wanted to peacefully film a drama that would flop.

But now, the drama was famous before airing, shooting to the top of trending topics on its first day of production!
As the investor, Mo Youqian hadn't arranged for any paid commenters or marketing accounts. In his plan, the drama should have been filmed quietly without attracting attention.
However, now the drama had become known to everyone. Its popularity even surpassed the related topics about Lu Yanchen.
Yao Bianliang frowned slightly and opened Weibo to take a look.
Impressive! The new drama had just started filming and had already shot to the top of trending topics.
Lu Yanchen was really delivering!
Ёň ů m̃а̌
Seeing Mo Youqian's extremely depressed expression, Yao Bianliang quickly explained, "President Mo, don't worry. If I'm not mistaken, this must be Lu Group's doing."
Mo Youqian frowned: "Lu Group?"
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
His relationship with Lu Yanchen was hostile, and their companies were competitors. What was the meaning of generating buzz for him at this time?
Yao Bianliang's lips curved slightly: "You know how toxic our script is. Why would Lu Group buy trending topics and promote us unless they had ulterior motives?"
Mo Youqian's eyes widened slightly, and then he understood.
Of course, he had misunderstood earlier.
W ě b̀ n оv̇ е̊ l Ën umа́
Everyone had maximum expectations for the new drama. If their work's quality wasn't good enough, it would inevitably attract countless criticisms.
And how good was the script quality? He knew very well.
It was a completely toxic TV drama script that would invite ridicule when released.
Once the new drama officially aired, the public backlash would be extremely intense.

"So, this is actually good for us?" Mo Youqian's eyes brightened.
"Of course." Yao Bianliang nodded.

They exchanged glances, both revealing knowing smiles.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the plane is about to take off..."
As the announcement played, Yao Bianliang looked at the good weather outside, then checked her phone.
There were only three unread messages, all from Zhou Fei, reporting on work matters.
Zhou Fei: "Sister Liang, regarding the task you assigned, we've developed a plan. Could you take a look when you have time?"
The document was a table that showed the creator was professional, with detailed plans and procedures.

The only drawback was that it was too professional; the text was dense, making Yao Bianliang's eyes hurt.
Fortunately, besides this file, Zhou Fei had also sent a long text explanation.
The gist was that they had prepared according to her instructions and would coordinate with fans to amplify the discussion and increase popularity.
Yao Bianliang understood.
Having fans cooperate with promotion seemed like a good method. If fans praised her to the skies, wouldn't that just follow Lu Yanchen's intentions?
Recalling the trending topic #YaoBianliangNewDramaFilming# she had just seen, it was clear that the plan was progressing extremely smoothly.

She smiled and replied to Zhou Fei: "Give the process document to Assistant Chen. You've all done well, keep it up."
After replying, the plane was about to take off.

Yao Bianliang slowly exhaled, switched her phone to airplane mode, and leaned back in her seat to rest.
Good, everything was under control!
