Chapter 52: Chapter 52 He Jinxia Lost Weight Again!

It was thought that making the hot search this time might be a bit difficult, given that a lot of new events had recently occurred, not only about celebrities but also various topics concerning the livelihood of the citizens.

And the content related to "He Jinxia’s weight loss" had been overly prevalent the last time, saturating people’s sense of novelty. It seemed unlikely that many would click into it again this time.

But the results always surprised everyone.

Luo You and Zhang Dayou, two individuals who didn’t need to lose weight, had ultimately underestimated the lasting appeal of the "weight loss" topic.

Even though the last time a hot search was created, it hadn’t increased the number of people searching for He Jinxia’s Weibo homepage, but now, as He Jinxia once again released weight loss photos, all sorts of big V accounts and self-media channels published the story as if puncturing through a layer of paper—

He Jinxia, once again, awakened the memories of the masses with an unstoppable sharp momentum. A hot search term "He Jinxia has slimmed down again" successfully landed in the top ten trending list!

The hot search success made Luo You and Zhang Dayou feel somewhat surreal.

They had prepared several waves of publicity channels, just waiting for one channel to stack on another to help push He Jinxia to the top of the hot search list. But now, they had merely started lightly, and it had already caused nationwide forwarding.

Luo You and Zhang Dayou exchanged glances. Zhang Dayou cleared his throat, the first to snap back to reality, and feigned calm as he said, "I didn’t expect Jinxia to be quite impressive, huh? Come on, let’s check the comments."

On Weibo, He Jinxia’s homepage had garnered tens of thousands of responses in just half an hour.

[Fat Emperor really is amazing. This seems like the result you get from six months of weight loss that ordinary people strive for, achieved in just half a month, right?]

[No, no, no, as someone who has dieted before, if you’re willing to put in the effort, you can achieve this in two or three months.]

[Are you kidding me? Don’t trick me because I’m uneducated! This weight loss comparison photo is not compared with Fat Emperor’s original body shape, but with the last slimmed-down photo, look at these arms and legs, they’ve definitely slimmed down a lot, right? And it’s only been half a month!]

[Ding, a small account from Fat Emperor officially goes online!]

[After confirming through her aura, this is not Fat Emperor, she must be pretending to be slim, thank you.]

[Confirmed +1, this isn’t Fat Emperor, let’s see how she wraps this up in four months.]

...

A bunch of staunch "Fake Slimming Gate" haters went online, bombarding He Jinxia’s Weibo page with comments, acting like the fighter jets among the haters.

However, the general public was still quite rational.

[Wait a minute, did Fat Emperor ever say the last weight loss comparison photo was her actual shape at that time? You guys might have forgotten that since Fat Emperor announced her retirement, three months have passed, three months!]

[After confirming through her aura, it’s definitely Fat Emperor, my family’s fatty can indeed slim down like this with proper exercise and diet.]

As the rational ones returned, passersby also joined in the buzz, merging with the rational crowd to continue to fervently share and repost—

[He Jinxia has slimmed down again!!]

But since there had been a campaign already half a month ago, this hot search didn’t have enough momentum and just managed to stay at sixth place on the trending list, unable to advance any further.

But for Luo You and Zhang Dayou, this result was already a surprise.

Last time, they reached the top by riding on the coattails of "Charming Women" magazine, along with support from various marketing accounts. This time, without any tailwinds or much marketing, they still managed to securely enter the hot search list, which said something—

The growing attention from He Jinxia’s fans and passersby was growing by the day.

As Luo You left the company, he wandered in a daze, thinking that maybe, in the future, He Jinxia could make it onto the trending searches without relying on publicity stunts but on her real skills.

He shook his head, dismissing the thought, as it was too difficult.

Out of ten trending topics, eight are fake, nine are hyped, and only one is genuinely due to the popularity of the celebrity, and even that is sometimes absent. Those are the rules, and He Jinxia’s current credentials are just not enough.

He Jinxia was oblivious to the wave caused by her weight loss comparison photos, as during Luo You’s manipulations, she was doing leg strength training.

Xiao Tiantian kept a close watch on her, determined to mold He Jinxia into a paragon of weight-loss success.

"Ahhh, it kills me! They actually think you’re faking how thin you are, which is an insult to me, a Level 9 Nutritionist, and as a weight loss expert! Jinxia, you must lose weight perfectly and slap those naysayers hard!"

Lying on her back on the equipment, He Jinxia took a deep breath and with a strong push of her legs, lifted the eighty-pound weight.

After practicing two sets, He Jinxia finally exhaled and said weakly, "Xiao Tiantian, is there really such a thing as a Level 9 Nutritionist?"

Xiao Tiantian rolled her eyes and said righteously, "No, but is it a problem if I created it myself?"

He Jinxia: "..."

Fine, fine, little ancestor, whatever you say goes, as long as you don’t torture her in such a heartbroken, sick, and mad manner, everything is fine.

She didn’t go on W frequently, but that didn’t mean others didn’t, and Xiao Tiantian, as her exclusive weight-loss coach and nutritionist, happened to be a blog addict.

Timing He Jinxia’s ten minute rest interval precisely, Xiao Tiantian waved her hand and said magnanimously, "On to the next set of exercises!"

He Jinxia: "..."

Seeing Xiao Tiantian so full of fighting spirit brought a bittersweet smile to her face.

Although life was somewhat harder, the outcome was always good, wasn’t it?

The gym was equipped with thirty-six cameras with no dead angles, recording He Jinxia’s weight loss process in great detail.

Once He Jinxia successfully slimmed down, the director would select exciting clips from these camera feeds to include in the movie.

Unexpectedly, Dong Qiin didn’t plan to cut many of He Jinxia’s weight loss scenes; in a ninety-minute movie, she reserved twenty minutes for He Jinxia’s weight loss footage.

Twenty minutes was enough to show a lot.

That evening, the female lead and the male lead arrived at the gym to start filming the gym scenes. After all, it wasn’t a weight-loss documentary; they couldn’t just ignore the plot entirely.

By then, He Jinxia’s character, Chen Xiaohui, had already successfully lost twenty pounds, but it wasn’t enough for a two hundred pound obese person; twenty pounds only made her one size smaller, she was still overweight.

Her friend Feng Xiaoxiao had witnessed Chen Xiaohui’s entire weight loss journey and felt sorry for her, especially after learning that Sun Zhiying had misunderstood Xiaohui, she discreetly brought Sun Zhiying to see how desperately Xiaohui was trying.

In the camera, He Jinxia’s face was painted ghastly pale by the makeup artist, her lips were equally pale, but her eyes were frighteningly bright as though they were ablaze with fire.
