The Martial Artist Turned Movie Mogul-Chapter 818 - 817. Sudden Increase in Kangaroo Orders

"Wait a minute, how did ’Laba Porridge Sold Out’ climb up to the fifth spot on the trending searches? Which manufacturer paid to trend this!"

"emmmm~~~ I’d like to know too. These words totally stick out like a sore thumb among the Best Actor and Best Actress awards!"

"It’s hilarious, which brand’s PR team paid for this trend, it must have, no doubt!"

"The intrusion is too obvious, tsk tsk, the PR team should collectively resign, didn’t they know to check the trending terms before paying?"

"Laba Festival was two days ago, okay? And now they’re promoting it, did the manufacturer get tricked by the Weibo company?"

"Very likely!"

Those who hadn’t watched the award ceremony live unanimously believed it was the Laba Porridge manufacturer who paid for the trend, as the fifth message stood out too much among the numerous national drama awards.

It was too deliberate.

However...

Soon, someone came forth to explain.

"What do you know, this was actually a running joke at the national drama awards ceremony!"

"Ah? Laba porridge? This term sounds familiar——"

"Indeed quite familiar, I think I heard about it last night.... I remember now! Tang Shu said she wanted to drink Laba porridge!"

"Could it be....."

"It can’t be...."

"Yes! It must be because Tang Shu mentioned this term on stage that caused this!"

"Holy smokes, this actress is so good at driving sales? Just by casually mentioning Laba Porridge, it sold out?!"

"Unbelievable!"

The netizens were stunned and, skeptical, clicked on the fifth trending message only to find Kangaroo Delivery platform had directly listed last night’s order data, and it was convincing.

"My God, really! Tang Shu is incredible? What a bizarre addition to my knowledge."

"emmmm~~~ Look at the comments on the data, ’God damn Laba Porridge cures schizophrenia, can’t stop laughing——’"

"Not even doctors would say that, and yet so many people believe it?! My worldview has to be rebuilt!"

While shocked, netizens also began recommending Tang Shu’s remark to their relatives and friends, quickly turning it into a new New Year’s joke.

"Have you drank Laba Porridge today?" freёweɓnovel.com

A phrase was thus born and started climbing the ranks with unbelievable speed.

Another trending topic also caught the netizens’ attention:

"Also, what’s up with the ninth trending ’You Smile Cast Gathering’? Didn’t they attend the award ceremony?"

"I clicked and saw the tweet from ’You Smile’, the hotpot scene was quite lively, and there’s even text below the picture, hahahaha I’m dying laughing!"

"What’s the situation, text? It’s not like a TV show, why would the picture need text? Are you joking upstairs?"

"Why not check it out? It’s really hilarious, haha, I can’t..."

Driven by curiosity, everyone clicked on the ninth trending content and discovered a grid of nine pictures, each picture centering around four old copper hotpots, giving off a familiar vibe.

Strangely, there really was text beneath each picture!

"I want to eat meat, nobody stop me!"

"I must eat meat!"

The main character in the first few images is Chen Xin, while others are sitting she is standing; others are well-mannered and she is carefree. If it weren’t winter, she would probably boldly expose her arms.

Without subtitles, everyone could read the big words "I want to eat meat" from the expression on her face as she drooled over the old copper pot.

The images that follow are even more interesting. Apparently, the drooling Chen Xin seemed to show a scared expression, her upper body straightened as if slightly bent, and the expression in the last image even turned into... flattering?

"What’s going on? Little child star Xinxin, what did she hear?!"

"Chen Xin: Scared me to death, so terrifying!"

"Pfft—just look at the subtitles, it says ’Sister Manager, I got it~~’, ’I promise I won’t eat too much!’ What is this about?"

"Hahahaha, I’m dying of laughter, could it be that her own manager caught her sneaking a bite on the spot?"

"And Wang Honghong in the picture is so funny, isn’t he reveling in her misfortune, right, right?"

The netizens burst into laughter instantly!

The person who posted this Tweet even swore in the main text "It’s true, I really heard it!" to enhance the credibility of the subtitles.

What’s more shocking is that there are comments from seven or eight people in the comments section of this Tweet.

"I heard it too, Goddess Chen was so bold at first, the whole hotpot restaurant could hear her!"

"Her phone ringtone is ’One Cent’, yes! It’s that ’I found a cent by the roadside’ from ’One Cent’, I heard it loud and clear!"

"I can testify, Goddess Chen Xin had barely eaten a few meat rolls when the phone call came, pitifully stating she wouldn’t eat anymore hhhhh~~~"

"I never thought, my idol from childhood to adulthood would be so, so, timid one day!"

After Chen Xin received her Best Actress trophy, due to the meat-eating incident, she once again topped the trending search, and because the content of the images and subtitles were highly innovative, the number of clicks soared, gradually moving up from the original ranking.

Inside Palm Pavilion, Tang Shu, light-hearted with nothing troubling her, was slowly reading through a stack of thick scripts.

The red Big Horse Monkey obediently lay in her arms, occasionally emitting a "Welcome" sound as she pinched it with her slender hands.

When the vibrating ringtone of her phone sounded, the owner of the phone skillfully swiped across the screen and turned on the speakerphone.

"Sister Luo, what’s up?"

"There is, first congratulations on getting the Best Supporting Actress trophy, your value for taking roles or endorsements is different now."

"Thank you, same to you."

Tang Shu instinctively felt Sister Luo wouldn’t call just over this, "Is there anything the company needs to discuss?"

The person on the other end of the phone hesitated for a moment, "This... it’s a bit sudden, I don’t even know what happened."

Sister Luo’s tone was somewhat peculiar, "What exactly did you say at the award ceremony last night?"

"Just... the award acceptance speech? It was standard, delivered as per the lines you provided me, there shouldn’t be any problem."

Tang Shu was also baffled, this was the first time she actually followed the manager’s instructions, and there was still trouble?

It shouldn’t be my fault this time, right? Let’s see how you handle this!

However, the next moment, Sister Luo’s words came through again.

"This morning I received calls from three different Eight-Treasure Porridge manufacturers talking about sponsorships, expressly wanting you as the spokesperson, and they’re easy to negotiate on price."

So, my little ancestor, you definitely didn’t properly recite the prepared acceptance speech, did you?

Sister Luo was very sure of this!
