At the same time, Peak rented out a large screen in the most bustling area of Yancheng and would use it over the next week to promote "The Silent".
And this big screen went live at the same time Shi Lan made her Weibo post.
The promo was shot with the feel of a public service announcement, predominantly in black, white, and gray. The images that first appeared before the viewers were keyboard warriors venting their desires and anger online, with the subjects of their unrestrained criticism and insults also shown, mouths sealed with tape and bodies wrapped up, unable to move.
Because the large screen in the bustling area was a gigantic silver screen, such advertising was particularly striking and heart-stirring.
It was only a fifteen-second advertisement, but it caught the attention and resonance of the pedestrians.
Right after, the topic #An Lan "The Silent"# climbed to the top three of the trending searches.
This time, netizens truly witnessed Shi Lan’s craziness.
@OneWayToLan: Clicking into this topic, I was flabbergasted. I thought An Lan was just talking smack, but who would have thought this madwoman actually rented the biggest silver screen to fight against keyboard warriors from around the world?
@LoveableClutz: Did you see the huge Zhaixing Building advertisement? Holy shit, is this a promotional film or a public welfare film? So shocking, has An Lan lost her mind?
@MeowTail: "An Lan is too bold! So many are laughing at her bite off more than she can chew. Like, there was a forum that even started a thread to trash her, now they’ve been smacked in the face, right? Does that poster need to come out and apologize now?"
@StrugglingToLiveUntilTomorrow: "@KDQiangGe circling you manually, not only has An Lan responded, but she’s also launched an anti-violence program. What do you have to say now? I remember someone in a thread saying if An Lan truly dared to challenge the keyboard warriors, they would stand on their head and eat shit for thirty days, isn’t it time to make good on that promise?"
@LuoBaoBao87: "Hahaha, I know that Qiang Ge, an old keyboard warrior, I just went to the forum to look around, that post isn’t there anymore, they deleted it out of guilt, to handle these second-rate, foot-dragging yokels, we need you, Sister An from the society."
@Lin Zhenxin: "The radio APP is already downloaded, the radio show is already followed, Saturday at eight, I want to know what kind of amazing show An Lan can make to strike against the keyboard warriors."
Everyone online was truly shocked by everything Shi Lan did, yet they felt it made sense.
Who was this person? ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵※𝖿𝗂𝗋𝖾※𝙣𝙚𝙩
A King Yan who would slay gods and Buddhas upon encounter!
Of course, Shi Lan’s publicity stunt suddenly ignited the atmosphere.
Now, all major forums and websites were discussing An Lan, as well as the anti-cyberbullying program about to be launched.
And the radio’s following spikes sharply, reaching several million in just a short time.
Such popularity sure made the insiders envious.
Yet, An Lan, always one to shun the beaten path, was not one for conventional endeavors.
Of course, not everyone was waiting for this carnival; many were skeptical about Shi Lan’s intentions, doubting she was reveling in the spoils derived from condemning keyboard warriors. Many felt Shi Lan was no different from the keyboard warriors themselves, even to the point of becoming a boring spectacle of dogs biting dogs.
They embraced the mindset that existence is reasonable, believing that keyboard warriors did not "hinder" them because everyone had a dark side and should be given outlets and channels for venting.
It’s too easy to be a saint.
When the knife doesn’t fall on one’s own head, it really doesn’t hurt.
