Chapter 349: Orchestrated Online Rhythms
On Twitter, the promotion for “Tears of Rivers” was in full swing, with marketing accounts aggressively pushing updates about the film’s progress. Although “Tears of Rivers” had just begun shooting, its popularity had already soared, placing it on the annual most-anticipated movie rankings.
In contrast, “Legacy of the Dynasty,” a similar genre film that began shooting around the same time, initially garnered some attention but was soon forgotten. “Legacy of the Dynasty” had initially drawn some attention with makeup photos of its main actors, but without follow-up promotions, it gradually faded from memory.
Today, the official Twitter for “Tears of Rivers” released daily behind-the-scenes peeks. A clip featuring Amelia and the male lead’s first meeting in the drama was cut and released early by the official account, instantly exploding in popularity among fans.
“Wow! Amelia is truly a princess! Step aside and let me protect Amelia!”
“I’ve got my movie ticket money ready, where can I pick up this beautiful princess?”
“I seriously suspect that the reason the male lead’s country is attacking Amelia’s is because he’s smitten with her beauty. I can’t wait to see the male lead cry after Amelia’s heroic sacrifice… Amelia’s beauty, combined with Starlit Entertainment’s direct involvement in creating a star-studded cast, pushed her to a new peak in popularity, completely overshadowing any previous negative publicity.”
With heavy promotional spending, “Tears of Rivers” became a hit before even airing. Almost every platform was tirelessly praising “Tears of Rivers” and its stars, like Amelia. “Legacy of the Dynasty” was almost forgotten in the online buzz.
Just as everyone was about to completely forget “Legacy of the Dynasty,” a report suddenly burst into the public eye. A minor account suddenly posted a leak about “Legacy of the Dynasty.” Compared to the glamorous and polished leaks from “Tears of Rivers,” the photos released for “Legacy of the Dynasty” were quite a shock. They showed some supposed crew members from “Legacy of the Dynasty” squatting outside the set smoking, including a bald man with a conspicuous tattoo. The photos included one of the tattooed bald man nodding and bowing as he handed Olivia tea.
What was even more surprising was that this account also released a supposed on-set photo. In it, Lucas’s exaggerated actions and expressions were embarrassingly cringe-worthy. Beside him, Louis appeared to be rolling his eyes.

“I am actually looking forward to ‘Legacy of the Dynasty’ after seeing the makeup photos and even went to the shooting location near my grandmother’s house. But, what a disappointment… I have to say, despite the stunning makeup photos, seeing their acting firsthand, I can only say… Looks aren’t everything in showbiz, please focus on more than just looks and fake promotions!”
This tweet was rapidly shared by major marketing accounts and quickly filled the feeds of many onlookers.
