Tong Yao has had three run-ins with trending searches, and Pei Ran was involved every time.
The first was the day she was forced to graduate from her idol group for being "too old" and make her solo debut. The team had arranged promotional campaigns for her, but the news collided with Pei Ran winning the Golden Globe for Best Actor.
In an instant, the trending topic that should have been about Tong Yao's debut was all about the new award-winning actor, Pei Ran.
Unexpectedly, after stealing one trending spot from her, Pei Ran soon gave her another. At an interview, Pei Ran said, "I don't know who Tong Yao is." Tong Yao was mocked across the internet as a nobody desperately clinging to a celebrity, and the story shot to the top of the trending list.
But no one expected that Pei Ran, who supposedly didn't know Tong Yao, would give her one more trending topic in the end.
That day, Pei Ran, who almost never posted on Weibo of his own accord, made an unprecedented post and pinned it: The cat is mine, and so is the person. @Tong Yaoyao
This time, Tong Yao's name appeared right alongside Pei Ran's on the trending list.
Pei Ran, a classically trained actor, never imagined that one day it would take him a whole year to move on from a role. Yet the role he found hardest to let go of was the one that earned him his Best Actor award.
After spending a year in a daze, relying on sleeping pills, Pei Ran naturally assumed he'd never be able to live without them. Then, beneath the dim lights of a stage, he saw Tong Yao dazzling under the spotlight.
That night, Pei Ran miraculously fell asleep without sleeping pills and had a lovely dream. In it, a black cat swatted at his palm with its soft paws, once, then twice, as if scratching at his heart. At last, the black cat turned into Tong Yao.
Pei Ran thought that perhaps he'd found something better than sleeping pills.
