Ordinary spectators come for the excitement, while regulars come for the insights. Here, some discuss which actor left a deep impression, while others start discussing the plot.
"Remember the first thing the group leader said when he met the female lead? I always feel that there’s a touching story behind this group leader."
"Isn’t that obvious? Didn’t a male group leader come and chat with her in the second stage? Her family background is different from the others!"
"I guess she comes from a capitalist family, the group leader’s face always gives me the vibes that he had a troubled life in his earlier years..."
At this point, 20 admins started pulling out their smartphones, all eager and ready.
"It’s just a post-show discussion, I’m familiar with this stuff!"
"Hey you, did you just ask the backstage staff for a photo?"
"Yes, I did, they will send it to me soon. You want photos from any stage, you got it!"
"Alright then, send it to my email later, probably by tonight we’ll finish our task."
That night, after a lot of editing, the admins finally posted an article titled "Detailing the Unexpected Details in the Drama [Factory]" online, and also actively uploaded it to the fan group.
This stirred up a hornet’s nest as both old and new fans erupted.
"Holy smoke! You guys watched the drama without us and even wrote a post-show discussion? Who are you showing off to?!"
"emmmm~~~ I feel so jealous, I couldn’t even buy a ticket, and you people are too much!"
"What’s this nonsense? Spoiling the drama with spoilers all over our faces? You really did it this time!"
"Haha! I saw it, I went to the theater today, this article is superb, I recommend everyone personally go see the drama – it’s a thrill!"
"I also watched the drama, it was fantastic, so moving that I almost cried..."
"By the way, admin, did you miss something in this post-show discussion? I suspect the beautiful group leader’s fiancé also had issues, guessing there’s a huge scoop behind his sacrifice, here’s how I analyzed it..."
Soon, people in the group began to analyze every word and every line of the drama’s script, making claims with reason and evidence, which left others dumbfounded.
The admins instantly felt a chill, suddenly getting a not-so-good feeling.
"Wait, how did I not realize this character had issues? Damn, it really seems so!"
"Don’t panic! It’s just one point, we’re far from 20, stay calm!"
"Right, right, keep cool! They can at most point out five details we missed, no more!"
The admins, while nervously consoling themselves, couldn’t bear to sleep and spent the whole night refreshing the article about the details they had posted.
Meanwhile, Tang Shu was one of the first to discover the article and reposted it on Weibo, followed by reposts from the actors of Lotus Drama Society, and even Master Yan and Master Ke joined in the fun.
In a moment, the entire internet was dominated by this details-focused article.
The next day, as everyone started anew, going to school or work, and turned on their mobile screens during their commute, they were bombarded by this article.
"Today’s trending topic is... a drama?"
"The Factory? What’s that?"
"Detailing a drama’s details, who knew it had so many foreshadowings? Has the notion of dramas become this popular?"
Today the sun rose from the west!
