Chapter 1396 Qian Mou Wants to Delete the Post and Run

Monday, January 14th, morning.

Pei Qian slept until after 10 o'clock before getting up.

Mainly because he had been anxious and went to bed a little late yesterday, the weather was nice today, and he slept very comfortably, so he got up a little later than usual.

After getting up and washing, Pei Qian figured that it was almost noon, so he might as well just order a Moyu (slack off) takeaway, eat, and then go to the company for a walk.

While waiting for the takeaway, Pei Qian habitually took out his phone, opened the Aili Island website, and checked the score of *The Successor*.

"Huh?"

"Something's not right, is it?"

Seeing the score, Pei Qian was stunned.

He thought he wasn't fully awake, or that he had opened the website incorrectly.

He closed the app process and reopened it to take another look.

He wasn't mistaken, *The Successor*'s score had soared from around 6 points last night to 6.7 points!

Although a score of 6.7 still seemed shabby, this rate of increase was clearly very abnormal!

It went up 0.7 points while he was asleep?

If this continued for a few more days, wouldn't the score go through the roof?

"What exactly went wrong?!"

Pei Qian panicked. His intuition told him that he had been happy too early last night!

This score was obviously related to Young Master Tian.

Pei Qian quickly opened the comment section of *The Successor* to check the latest reviews.

"A masterpiece, no explanation needed!!!"

"I'm sorry, Teacher Cui, I used to mock you, but now it seems that I was the naive one. I'll go change my score right away!"

"You laugh at the characters in *The Successor* for being stupid, but Teacher Cui tells you, no, *The Successor* not only doesn't make them stupid, but it also raises their IQ..."

"Novels need logic, but reality doesn't."

"I originally thought that *The Successor*, from the novel to the web series, was just a comedy, but now I realize I was wrong. This is a masterpiece! Teacher Cui, I'm sorry, I'm the clown myself!"

"Changed my score. If I don't give such a masterpiece a perfect score, I'll be betraying my conscience!"

In addition, there were many simple comments such as "masterpiece," "divine prophecy," and "utterly impressed."

Scrolling through the latest page of reviews, it was full of perfect scores!

No wonder the score had been raised so much in such a short period. Many viewers who had given low scores before had come back to change them to perfect scores, and many viewers who hadn't even watched it had also come to give perfect scores.

How could the score not rise quickly?

But Pei Qian was still puzzled. What exactly was going on?

How could the reputation completely reverse overnight?

He quickly found Young Master Tian's post again and found that the first few sarcastic comments were basically still there. After all, they had a high number of likes and a high weight, so they hadn't been刷 (shuā, overwhelmed) down in a short time.

Including the one that said, "*The Successor* will be a hit next month, and I'll do a handstand and crap," was still at the top of the hot comments, but the latest replies had uniformly become "Brother, give me your livestream room number" and "Brother, take some digestive pills before you livestream."

And looking at the latest replies sorted by time, the style here was the same as in the film review area of *The Successor*. The previous doubts had all disappeared, replaced by one-sided praise!

"Young Master Tian, forever a god!"

"You can predict this? It's amazing! You understand *The Successor* better than Teacher Cui!"

"Where are the people who said Young Master Tian was蹭热度 (cèng rè dù, riding the coattails of popularity) at the beginning? Come out and apologize!"

"This is Young Master Tian's true crowning work. The previous videos, although rich in content, now seem a bit superficial and haven't exceeded the scope of an excellent up主 (up zhǔ, content creator). But now it's different. Young Master Tian has become a prophet, and the identity of the up主 has undergone a qualitative change!"

"I'm wondering, what kind of person is Young Master Tian? How did he manage to connect two seemingly unrelated things? How did he realize the deep connection between this matter and *The Successor* when few people in China were paying attention to it?"

"I'm speechless, I can only worship. Maybe this is what a real大佬 (dàlǎo, big shot) is!"

"I'm going to give *The Successor* a perfect score and watch all the episodes again. Such a masterpiece should not be buried!"

"If I have to say something, Young Master Tian had a slight problem with timing. He said it was the 13th, but in fact, the heat only rose on the 14th."

"You don't understand this, do you? Young Master Tian said it was the 13th, but he didn't say which place's 13th! The local time in Uklayia on the 13th is also the 13th!"

"In short, I only have admiration for大佬. I'm going to give all of大佬's previous videos a three-连 (lián, like, comment, share) to show my respect..."

Seeing the flood of praise in the comment section, Pei Qian was even more speechless.

This was going to go through the roof!

He had originally hoped that *The Successor* would flop and Young Master Tian's reputation would collapse, bringing double happiness.

But now it had turned into *The Successor*'s reputation suddenly exploding and Young Master Tian becoming a god by relying on a single post. For Pei Qian, double happiness had turned into double doors haunted by ghosts!

However, from these netizens' replies, Pei Qian finally found a clue.

Why would anyone mention Uklayia?

This... is it a country?

Pei Qian immediately searched for the keyword "Uklayia," and then this search exploded on the spot.

Previously, a search on Qiandu would yield nothing, but now it instantly searched out a screen full of news about the Uklayia election!

In yesterday's election, Da Vasily crushed Uklayia's current president with 60% of the vote, achieving great success!

Pei Qian was a little puzzled at first. Wasn't this just a normal election? This thing happens every few years, what's worth paying attention to?

But he committed a few search results and, after reading the biographies of this Da Vasily written by several marketing accounts, Pei Qian was silent.

Handsome appearance, born into a wealthy family, law major, engaged in the media field, famous actor and host, successfully gained public love by shooting a movie, and then won the election...

This was simply a Phil Bonnefe!

The resume was exactly the same!

It's just that Phil did it through variety shows, while this guy did it through movies.

Even this brother's rise to power was smoother and more outrageous than Phil's.

"Damn it, this world seems to be targeting me!"

"Who would have thought this would happen, and so coincidentally!"

Pei Qian was speechless. He realized for the first time so clearly that many times, the memories remaining in his mind not only didn't help him, but instead became a burden, holding him back!

Because many things in this world have undergone tremendous changes, and many times it's a matter of losing an inch and missing a mile.

Taking this matter as an example, Pei Qian also remembered something similar happening in his memory, but he was very sure that it could not have been in 2013.

So this way of thinking made Pei Qian not consider this direction at all.

As a result, when things came out, Pei Qian was dumbfounded.

In fact, similar tragedies had happened before. For example, Pei Qian felt that *Mission and Choice* could not be done well with the current level of technology, but he never expected that there would be a technical breakthrough, just by chance!

This naturally gave Pei Qian a kind of "I'm being targeted by the world" illusion...

Obviously, the popularity of this matter will continue to ferment.

Because it's just too effective!

Various marketing accounts and up主s will definitely see this opportunity and tell the story in detail to domestic netizens. In this process, whether the up主s actively mention it, or the netizens discuss it spontaneously, *The Successor* will inevitably gain a lot of popularity from it!

Considering the current surge in scores, a complete reversal of reputation is only a matter of time.

It's even possible for the score to break through 9 points or 9.5 points.

Pei Qian looked melancholy.

It's over.

*The Successor* signed a profit-sharing agreement with Aili Island. Playback volume and reputation will affect the split, and now it seems that it is impossible to lose money. It would be a blessing to earn less...

Just as Pei Qian was feeling melancholy, someone suddenly sent him a message.

He took a look and it was Qian Mou.

"Boss, I can't stand it anymore!"

"Is it okay to delete the post and run away?"

"I'm being scolded too badly. It's okay to keep this post, but I have to be paid more!"

Without thinking, the higher Young Master Tian was blown, the more Qian Mou was trampled.

Once the Uklayia thing came out, Qian Mou's previous views were completely overturned.

Didn't you say that the plot in *The Successor* was stupid? Didn't you say that the big consortiums, superheroes, and ordinary people in it were all stupid?

But you're completely looking at it from God's perspective, so you think they're stupid. But in reality, how can people without God's perspective really judge whether a person is sincere or fake?

Many people in reality can't even see through the lies of some money-making big Vs, let alone see through the lies of Phil, who has the power of a superhero and can manipulate public opinion at will?

Once Qian Mou's theory of attacking *The Successor* was undermined from the root, his film review was basically gg (good game, finished).

Pei Qian saw it and thought, well, this Qian Mou is quite ethical.

He couldn't stand the pressure and wanted to delete the post and run away, but he specially came over to tell himself.

In fact, the final payment had already been paid. So what if Qian Mou deleted the post and ran away without saying a word?

A few thousand dollars for someone to be scolded like this, and even almost have their entire account臭了 (chòu le, ruined)? He really felt a little sorry.

Pei Qian thought about it. Even if Qian Mou continued to keep this film review, he would only be nailed to the pillar of shame and would not reduce the popularity and score of *The Successor*. On the contrary, it would have the opposite effect.

Since that's the case, then let him delete the post and run away. Leave a line for people, and it's good to see each other in the future.

Maybe there will be another opportunity to cooperate with this Qian Mou in the future.

So Pei Qian replied: "Delete it, I know you've done your best in this matter."

Qian Mou quickly replied: "Boss is generous, thank you for your understanding! Boss, please accept my condolences as well. It's really unlucky to run into such a low-probability event."

A few words of comfort made Pei Qian very moved.

Look, look, my employees don't have as much awareness as someone who writes black drafts for money!

In this situation, the comfort of a stranger on the Internet also seemed so precious.

However, the next second, Pei Qian refreshed Qian Mou's film review and was dumbfounded.

Qian Mou's so-called "delete the post and run away" didn't really delete the film review, but directly changed the score and replaced it with a new film review!
