Chapter 125: A Chain of Trailers Unfolds, Official Broadcast Announcement

Boom!

The real reason behind Tang Fei's trip to Xiangnan is revealed!

Xiangnan TV releases its official teaser trailer for the broadcast!

Starring Tang Fei, "Si Cui's Legend" is set to premiere in the Xiangnan TV's weekly 10 PM drama slot, bringing you an epic winter vacation series!

A fleeting four-day trip to Xiangnan was packed with accomplishments: finalizing the drama's airing schedule, saving lives, hospital visits, embroidery competitions, and earning the title of Embroidery Ambassador!

This is what efficiency looks like!

The promotional team at Xiangnan TV was equally efficient. Upon receiving the first ten episodes of Si Cuichuan, they promptly edited five teasers, teasing fans by releasing them one at a time, daily.

From now until Sunday!

The Sugar Syrup fans were left powerless by the witty Xiangnan TV editors, each one as docile as a kitten waiting for its belly to be rubbed.

"Please, dear readers, leave a like, comment, share, and shower us with virtual flowers for this sugary, captivating tale!"

Xiangnan TV, sensing the escalating buzz and excitement, seized the momentum to release their first offering.

1. A magnetic and deep voiceover resonates in the trailer.

"Ist it an epic tale of immortal romance? Or a drama of royal intrigue?"

The fifteen-second trailer unfolds with scenes of: bamboo branches entwined with black pythons, cultivators drawing in the luminous moon's essence, the hunt for rebels, the city in turmoil, and the forced abdication of the throne.

The tone shifted from soothing to impassioned, and the soundtrack of Si Cuichuan followed suit.

The trailer emerged, and besides, it captivated those who delight in dramatic series with its sugary charm.

The number of comments skyrocketed instantly.

"Wow, it's a grand spectacle!"

"Could such content possibly be wrapped up in just a dozen episodes?"

"The main character is a palace maid? Involved in a plot to seize the throne? I'm looking forward to it!"

"Is there an element of xianxia? Like cultivators intervening in the shift of dynasties, like in The Investiture of the Gods?"

Xiangnan TV responded with a cryptic smile, "You'll have to guess."

The next day's trailer was released on schedule, but it showcased a different tone.

The voiceover unfolded gently:

"The greatest test of her deep bond with her sister turns out to be him."

In the preview, Tang Fei and Zhong Xue were depicted, one grinding ink while the other painting, with ink splashing and the two playfully chasing each other. Eventually, Zhong Xue playfully dots Tang Fei's nose with ink, followed by a shared giggle that melted hearts.

The scene shifted, and with the line "the test is him," the emperor was shown seated on his dragon throne.

Audiences were puzzled – this was entirely different from yesterday's style.

"How did it turn into a palace intrigue? Are these two best friends going to start fighting over the emperor? Isn't that plot a bit too cliché?"

"I'm giving you all a heads up. Don't be surprised if the style of the preview differs greatly from the actual show. Xiangnan TV is known for its deceptive previews. The drama you end up watching might be entirely different from what the preview promised."

"At Xiangnan TV, one drama can offer viewers the experience of multiple shows in one. The preview will deceive you into seeing an entirely different story."

"What on earth is going on here? Are the sisters at odds? Is Tang Fei, the palace maid, ascending to the status of a concubine?"

Editor: Keep guessing, folks.

On the third day, with netizens eagerly anticipating the release, the editor finally unveiled the preview after building up suspense.

Accompanied by rousing, fast-paced music and a rapid editing rhythm:

"Conqueror Palace Maid Falls for Me! Above all but one, she stirs the winds and rains of the harem with a single hand!"

Tang Fei's scenes of dominance - slapping people, ordering them to be dragged away, and appearing with an entourage of followers in tow - blended seamlessly with the music, making for a thrilling and satisfying drama.

"I believe the talk about deceptive previews now. After watching three previews, I feel like I've seen three separate dramas. What's the original show actually like? I'm completely puzzled."

"Is this a thrilling drama? If it is, I'm definitely tuning in."

Editor: A smile, yet no words.

On the fourth day, the fourth teaser arrives!

"Indivisible and tangled, fate brings love to life, then snuffs it out. Emotions ebb and flow, predetermined by the heavens."

The triangle unfolds: Si Cui with the princess, Si Cui with Duan Feng, Duan Feng with the princess, the three of them caught in an emotional arena.

Watching these complex relationships unfold, even the viewers shiver with anticipation.

"Woah! Woah! This is too much! I'm all in for this melodrama! Pour it on, drama enthusiasts!"

"I have second-hand embarrassment syndrome. The scenes with all three of them together are so dramatic, the tension, their emotions – just thinking about it makes me cringe! But oh, how I love it! Ahhh!"

Xiangnan TV's teasers continue to captivate with handsome men and beautiful women, stunning visuals, and soothing colors. Tang Fei and Zhong Xue both possess remarkable looks, though Tang Fei holds a slight edge. However, Zhong Xue's unique charm shines through.

Tang Fei alternates between elegance and authority, while Zhong Xue radiates innocence and adorableness. Together, they're a feast for the eyes!

The fans of "Sugar Pullers" howl in excitement over the new trailer.

"I long to see it, I truly do! Why is it aired weekly? Why only two episodes per week? I can hardly contain my eagerness to witness the entire story."

"It's been ages since Feifei appeared in a drama, and this one seems of high quality. Her acting is completely different from her previous wooden performances."

"I'm increasingly suspecting now that I might have inadvertently assigned Fei the role of a 'wooden beauty' in the past. Her lack of acting skills were actually part of her performance!"

"Wow, could this be the truth? I feel like we've cracked the case!"

"Wait a moment, am I, Tang Fei, the lead actress in this? I recall from last year's news, it was something about 'Bamboo Immortal,' and all the press releases about Tang Fei were filled with stories of her playing vicious maids and scheming palace ladies, harming their masters—entirely the archetype of a malicious supporting character."

Upon the appearance of this comment, the production team sprang into action like a rapid response unit, promptly issuing an apology to Tang Fei.

Previous press releases had hinted at slight spoilers; the tragic core of the story couldn't be revealed too early, so attention needed to be diverted immediately.

As soon as the sentiment analysis at nine o'clock flagged the issue, Zhou Weichuan swiftly discussed a strategy with the production team.

They decided to overwhelm with sensational news!

The moment the apology was released, it utterly captivated everyone's attention.

Is there anything more thrilling than plot twists? Is there anything more scandalous than a show revealing its backstage drama even before airing?

It's a deliberate attempt to stir up controversy!

Capitalizing on Tang Fei's negative image!

And it was the collaboration partner's promotional strategy! The production team had momentarily slipped up and employed the wrong approach. Now, they sincerely apologize to Tang Fei.

Time Culture gracefully declares the matter closed, while the publicity team steps forward to face criticism.

Netizens immediately dive into gossip.

"Focus on the collaboration partner's promotional strategy!"

"Yao Hui, Darkened: Thanks, we got the hint."

"The production team is being quite candid."

"They have to be, this drama relies entirely on Tang Fei for its success. Look, she's listed as one of the producers at 9 o'clock. Plus, the script has undergone major revisions – originally, Tang Fei was just a fourth or fifth female lead. I can imagine how their mindset must have changed over these past few months. Just thinking about it makes me excited!"

"No way, how can the quality of the drama be assured then? The trailer looked amazing. It's my first time seeing a palace maid as the lead and it's so captivating."

"Well, with Xiangnan TV, they can turn even trash into something golden. You'll understand when you watch the actual show. In the end, it's still trash."

Simultaneously, industry forums were discussing Tang Fei, Guan Yun, and Ning Xiaodou, who were all debuting in dramas around the same time.

This was a competition among contemporaries!

It was time to witness the spectacle. Like horses or mules, they would be put to the test, and the outcome would determine who had stronger skills and a more stable position in the future.

From the trailers, they could tell that Tang Fei wasn't stiff at all and was strikingly beautiful, but she was still far from the top five young talents that Director Xu Jianguo had boasted about previously.

The supporting actor Duan Feng clearly outperformed Tang Fei.

However, the fast-paced editing and storyline conflicts in the trailer were commendable, and the flaws in the acting were tolerable.

Tang Fei was currently experiencing a rapid rise in popularity. With a major network like Xiangnan TV heavily promoting her drama, this was the perfect opportunity to gauge her true influence.

Moreover, there was Yao Hui's young master, Guan Yun, and the summer vacation hitmaker, Ning Xiaodou. The three of them were set to compete against each other, making the outcome a thrilling prospect for betting!

"Place your bets, place your bets! Predict the viewing rankings for 'Soccer Kids', 'The Legend of Si Cui', and 'Soar, Tennis' – with exact ratings, the odds double! Everyone, bet away!"

"Wow, haven't both soccer and tennis already premiered? The bookie is targeting Tang Fei!"

"The bookie must have won a houseful of spicy snacks thanks to Tang Fei."

"Betting on the premiere's viewership for 'The Legend of Si Cui'."
