Chapter 98 It’s better to give yourself a good treatment

Before "Sword of Love" was officially launched, no one in the mall recognized Lin Guzhi except for the office on the fourth floor.

After all, during this period, the production team and TV stations have launched various types of publicity on various platforms, and the publicity points are all focused on the leading actors.

The trailer for "Sword of Love" does have Lin Guzhi, but there are only two scenes.

If Wen Haixia had not happened to pass by Lin Guzhi on the day he reported to Jinye Building, she would not have noticed Lin Guzhi and recognized him. At most, she would have thought that the person in the preview video was weird and different from the others. After that, she would have forgotten the appearance of Lin Guzhi in the video. How could she connect him with the real person in front of her?

But after the broadcast, the situation was different.

Thanks to a lot of publicity in the early stages, on the day when "Sword of Love" was officially launched, various topics quickly became hot searches, such as Xiao Wang's appearance, Xiao Wang's acting skills, etc., and the villain Lin Guzhi also had the opportunity to become a news item and was listed at the end of the hot searches.

After all, his style in the TV series is too prominent.

The TV series was broadcast at 8pm, the prime time. At this time, Lin Guzhi had finished work and took Xiaoxi home. He was too lazy to watch TV. The TV at home was occasionally turned on, but it was also for Xiaoxi to watch cartoons, so he did not watch "Sword of Love".

——Even if he is starring in this "Sword of Love".

Then a little after half past eight, he suddenly received a call from Xia Qing.

As soon as the call was connected, he heard Xia Qing's voice coming from the phone: "Uncle, have you watched TV? You are so conspicuous in the TV series, hahahaha!"

"..."

Lin Guzhi had expected this and replied, "I didn't see it."

Xia Qing said, "Then take a quick look. To be honest, uncle, you acted quite well, much better than the male and female protagonists. But when you stand there, you look completely different from the others, especially when you are in the same frame with others. It's obvious that you were photoshopped in. It feels so inconsistent, hahahaha."

"Okay, I'll take a look later."

Lin Guzhi said. After hearing what Xia Qing said, he couldn't help but become a little curious. He knew that he would be photoshopped into the TV, but he still didn't know how different the style would be and to what extent.

Xia Qing said, "Yeah, but the first episode is almost over. I wonder if you will appear in the second episode? If not, you can only watch the video replay online."

The first episode of "Love Sword" was broadcast on Haicheng TV, with two episodes broadcast every day, but the subsequent replays will be put on the video website. That's why Xia Qing said this.

Lin Guzhi said: "Okay, then I'll just wait and watch the replay. Tell me approximately how many minutes I appear, and I'll just scroll down the progress bar and check it out."

He has no interest in watching the drama "Sword of Love". When filming, he felt that the lines were weird and not to his taste, and it felt a bit lousy. So when he watches the replay, he only needs to watch the parts that he is curious about.

—That is, the part where he himself appears.

Xia Qing said: "Oh, I didn't remember this either, but it was broadcast for almost half of the first episode anyway, uncle, you can just drag the progress bar to watch it. I will watch the second episode tonight, and if you appear in the second episode, I will write down the time and tell you."

Lin Guzhi said, "Okay, thank you." Xia Qing smiled and said, "Uncle, why are you being so polite to me? Remember to watch it, you act really well. And you can let Xiaoxi see your acting skills too."

After finishing speaking, Xia Qing hung up the phone.

Lin Guzhi put away his phone, couldn't help but smile, and whispered to himself: "Forget about this..."

At nearly ten o'clock in the evening, he received a WeChat message from Xia Qing, telling him about his role in the second episode.

Compared to the first episode, he has much more scenes in the second episode, and he begins to have conflicts with the male and female protagonists, and there are fighting scenes.

At night, after Xiaoxi fell asleep, he turned on his mobile phone, downloaded the video playback platform that had obtained the copyright of "Sword of Love", found the TV series "Sword of Love", and clicked to play.

This drama is easy to find now. It has just been released, and there is a lot of publicity. The leading actors and actresses are both popular stars, so it is directly listed on the platform homepage, and there is also a big recommendation poster. Lin Guzhi doesn't need to spend any effort to click on it.

He opened the first episode of "Love Sword" and dragged the progress bar to the middle. He searched back and forth and soon found himself. In the TV series video, he was talking to the heroine with a cold face, a typical frosty and domineering CEO.

This frost type is too typical - his overall tone is much colder than the surroundings, and he is completely different from the others. And other characters have filters and skin smoothing, but he basically has none.

No wonder others say that my painting style is different.

It's so different, you can tell the difference at a glance.

"Sword of Love" is indeed very popular. There are only two episodes on the video platform so far, and it has not been online for long, but there are already many comments.

When Lin Guzhi saw himself before and after he appeared, the barrage of comments were basically all "Xiao Wang is so handsome", "Lick Xiao Wang", or the heroine is so beautiful, "Lick the heroine" and so on. But after he appeared, the barrage of comments changed to things like "Who is this person?", "Why is his style different?", "This person seems to be acting", "It's too distracting from the show" and so on.

The barrage during this period seemed to be tailor-made for Lin Guzhi, and the text and painting style were also different from those of other characters.

After watching the first episode where I appeared, I watched the second episode, and the situation was even more so. After I appeared, the style of the barrage suddenly changed.

When it came to the fight scenes, because he was acting opposite a body double and it was shot on location, there was no need for cutouts, and the tone and style of the entire picture were obviously consistent, the audience actually refused to accept it.

Lin Guzhi saw that the comments were all "What's wrong with this person?", "Why is the style normal?", "This is not the style I want" and so on. Lin Guzhi felt powerless to complain.

However, the plot of the drama was not to his liking. Even though he himself was starring in it, he couldn't muster up the interest to watch it properly. He only took a few glances and turned it off.

Just as he turned off the video and was about to lie down to sleep, he suddenly received a WeChat message from Xia Qing on his phone.

When I opened the WeChat chat, I saw that Xia Qing had sent me a screenshot of the hot search. The content about his different painting style had appeared at the end of the hot search ranking, and Xia Qing followed it with a message: How is it? Uncle?

Lin Guzhi thought about it and replied: That’s awkward, you might as well smooth out my skin and apply a filter.
