Chapter 111: Chapter 111: Gaining Followers
Weibo kept sending message notifications, covering up the TV drama interface. Ye Xian simply stopped watching and clicked into Weibo, where her account had inexplicably jumped from 3.22 million to 3.69 million fans!
The drama had just started airing, and it had increased by so much?
She swiped her finger over the fan count, fearing a bug in the system, but to her surprise, it went up by another five thousand!
Another swipe, an increase of ten thousand!!
Another swipe, thirty thousand?!
Half an hour later, the 3.69 million followers had soared to 4.17 million!
Ye Xian was astonished, what the hell?
She knew she was impressive, but even in her prime in the entertainment industry during her previous life, when she was at her most triumphant, her fan count had never risen this fast.
Half an hour, nearly five hundred thousand fans? Are you kidding me?
These fans… they couldn’t be fake, could they?
Zombie followers purchased by the company?
That shouldn’t be the case, Star Entertainment had always been indifferent towards her. Even if she had suddenly shone brilliantly in ‘Business World,’ they wouldn’t have reacted so quickly and actively started promoting.
Were they bought by Elder Brother? That’s more like it. Otherwise, how could there be such an increase in followers without a single private message?
Ye Xian unconsciously clicked on the private messages, where it displayed: You have blocked the private message function
“…” She had forgotten. To avoid being cursed at, the original owner had blocked private messages long ago.
After re-enabling it from the settings, @mentions, comments, and likes surged out in a bright red 9999+
Ye Xian tentatively clicked open, and like opening a red envelope, thousands of screams and flattery burst forth, leaving her dizzy.
[Ahhh, Yezi, you’re so handsome, my Immortal boy, mommy loves you so much~]
[Day one of being Ye’s fans, I like Brother Xian, I like Brother Xian, I like Brother Xian!]
[I want to hide in big brother’s eyelashes to play hide and seek, I want to slide down big brother’s nose bridge, I want to pick stars in big brother’s eyes…]
[Young President Gu and Ning Xiner are too sweet! Please continue to flaunt your love, don’t mind our wellbeing]
[Brother Ye, I was wrong, I apologize on my knees, I shouldn’t have blackened you before, now karma has hit, and I’m in love with you, can you forgive me?]
[The older sister and little puppy CP, I love it so much. Brother, can you sweeten it up a bit more? Do you and Sister Xin like each other in real life? It feels too sweet and too real in the drama, I hope you can be together in real life too~]
[Thank you for appearing in ‘Business World,’ otherwise I would have dropped the show.]
In the private messages there were beauty fans, drama fans, CP fans, and only fans; without exception, they were all praising her to the skies, a stark contrast from the previously overwhelming smear campaigns.
Ye Xian ‘glugged’ and swallowed her saliva.
These fans were lively and bouncing, not zombie followers!
Having been a Movie Queen with three major awards in her past life, she had become accustomed to her fans’ flattery, to the point where it no longer affected her, but now, seeing the glowing love in the private messages from the fervent Ye’s Fans, it was as if the fire and passion she had when she first entered the entertainment industry had returned.
Maybe it was different, reaching the peak from the start versus slowly climbing up from the depths after being maligned and ridiculed by everyone.
[Brother Ye, I became a fan because of the CP video trending on Weibo. I love your and Sister Xin’s looks; I’m going to catch up on the drama right now!]
The video trending on Weibo?
Ye Xian clicked into the Weibo real-time search ranking and discovered content related to her, not just one, but two posts.
No wonder she was gaining followers so quickly.
