It didn't take long before the video received a lot of views. In fact, the more observant netizens discovered that if they clicked on the video, they would be directed to the official website of 'The Forensic Concubine'.
The official website was no longer lifeless. Instead, the male lead's silhouette with a question mark was now replaced with a still from Jun Yilan.
That's right, it was a still from Jun Yilan!
And on the top right corner of the still, there was an ancient script that stated that Jun Yilan was being played by: Mo Ting.
"I'm going to go crazy. I've never seen an actor that fits the original story so well. Mo Ting is so good looking. Especially when he puts on his armor, he looks domineering and heart-wrenching."
"The problem is, does Mo Ting know how to act?"
"I don't care if he knows how to act or not. As long as he stands on screen, even if he doesn't move an inch, I'm willing to watch 80 episodes."
"When is' The Forensic Concubine 'going to be released? I want to see Jun Yilan. I'm so excited!"
"I've never been so concerned about a drama before. Hai Rui, hurry and announce the screening time. Or, why don't you show us the trailer..."
"It's really good. Tangning and Mo Ting are exactly the Qing Lan and Jun Yilan that we want. It's such a great feeling."
...
The audience cheered loudly, especially the younger generation. Anyone that had seen the video before was captivated by the short 10-second clip.
As a result, the younger generation began to dig up more information about 'The Forensic Concubine'. As a result, the number of people waiting in front of their televisions began to decrease. However, Bai Yu was still extremely confident in her drama.
"I don't believe that such a short clip can create such a huge storm."
Indeed, a short clip couldn't create a huge wave. But, the next day, the viewership ratings for 'Concubine Ning' were released and the industry was shocked.
On the day of the premiere, the viewership ratings broke 2. But, 2 days later, the viewership ratings had dropped to 1.4 and less than 1.5. Simply because 'The Forensic Concubine' released a short clip that lasted 10 seconds, Concubine Ning lost almost half of her audience.
The entire industry was shocked by Mo Ting's role as Jun Yilan.
After all, no one expected Mo Ting to know how to act!
Most of the professionals were doubting Mo Ting's acting.
But, didn't Tangning also start out as a model?
Worst of all, the public's reaction to Mo Ting acting as Jun Yilan was huge. For an entire day, the words' Mo Ting 'and' Jun Yilan 'were at the top of the search rankings. One could imagine, the amount of attention they received was quite shocking.
Hai Rui struck while the iron was hot. At 8pm that night, as if they were deliberately going against the broadcast time of 'Concubine Ning', they released the latest trailer for 'The Forensic Concubine'. It was 3 minutes long!
With this three-minute preview, the fans once again fell into a frenzy. After all …
The Jun Yilan that was portrayed by Mo Ting was so handsome that even the gods were enraged!
Everyone was attracted to Mo Ting's handsomeness, but in the end, they were conquered by the 3 minute trailer. They had to admit that the acting of the characters in the film, especially Tangning's, was real. As for Mo Ting, he exceeded everyone's expectations. Like a veteran, he was familiar with all sorts of scenes.
"Wah, it's not satisfying enough. I want to see the real thing."
"How can three minutes be enough? Hai Rui is going to release the real thing. "
"F * ck, I originally thought Tangning and Mo Ting would be slow because they were husband and wife. But, as soon as they got into character, they were completely different … I can't see any traces of reality."
"I don't care. This is the Jun Yilan that I want! I'm super satisfied! "
Because of this three-minute preview, a lot of people lost interest in 'Concubine Ning'. After all, it had only been on air for two days and they hadn't developed any feelings for it yet. Plus, 'The Forensic Concubine' was originally an adaptation of a high-quality IP, so fans of the original series already had a strong relationship with it. So, with the addition of Mo Ting, the entire series was sent into an uproar.
So, on the fourth day, the ratings for 'Concubine Ning' fell to 1.1. If it continued like this, it was highly likely that it would fall below 1 or even lower. So, the crew of 'Concubine Ning' suddenly felt a sense of crisis.
Bai Yu was so angry that she smashed things at home.
She never expected that 'The Forensic Concubine' would be able to make a comeback like this.
Her limelight, her ratings and her status as the Queen!
But, because of Mo Ting and Tangning, everything had turned to nothing.
As a result, the crew of 'Concubine Ning' held a few events in an attempt to recover. But, it wasn't easy to find viewers that had already been lost.
As she watched Tangning and Mo Ting's popularity continue to rise and 'Concubine Ning's' ratings continue to fall, Bai Yu finally felt helpless. Originally, after the first wave of promotions for 'The Forensic Concubine' passed, she thought she would be able to let out a sigh of relief. But, what made her even more depressed was, the crew of 'The Forensic Concubine' announced a screening time on the opposite channel and at the same primetime slot.
Previously, after seeing 'The Forensic Concubine' explode in popularity, the person in charge of the broadcasting platform contacted Mo Ting in private. At that time, Mo Ting simply asked, "If you dare to stop 'Concubine Ning' from airing on your channel, I will release it. Otherwise, there's no point in talking."
Of course, the person in charge couldn't stop 'Concubine Ning' for no reason. So, they simply expressed their disappointment at losing the right to air 'The Forensic Concubine'.
They had no idea that working with 'Concubine Ning' back then was equivalent to offending Hai Rui and Mo Ting...
Not only that, Mo Ting also chose to work with their biggest competitor and chose to air their show at the same time slot...
Wasn't this competition exciting enough?
Although everyone knew that 'Concubine Ning' would be beaten to a pulp, when they actually saw the ratings, they were still shocked.
0.59 and 3.1.
The ratings for 'Concubine Ning' couldn't even compare to the ratings for a news channel.
'Start high but end low 'was a good example of a drama like' Concubine Ning '.
But, in reality, everyone understood that it was because of Mo Ting's impact that the situation had turned around.
But, this was also a wise decision made by a decision maker.
After the first day of airing, the comments were all positive.
"Haha, I'm so excited. Seeing Qing Lan and Jun Yilan together makes me happy."
"The two of them have also been young and inexperienced before!"
"Although I know it's going to be very painful, I can't help but want to continue watching."
The audience was heartless. Although they appeared to be sentimental, they had already forgotten that when they watched 'Concubine Ning', they said they would only support Bai Yu. But, at this moment, apart from 'The Forensic Concubine', they had no intention of watching any other drama.
Mo Ting used an iron-clad fact to tell everyone that anyone that provoked Hai Rui would end up like Bai Yu. No matter how much they thought they were in the lead, they would still end up like Bai Yu.
