CP is forcing me to have a wife, and the male protagonist asked me who he is

"The movie "Born in July" starring Xie Zhuxin and Chen Mengting is now in theaters, with the first-day box office exceeding 5000 million!"

"As the first film directed by national actress Gu Mei, "Born in July" continues to gain popularity and is expected to do well at the box office!"

"Gu Mei's celebrity friends came to support this movie..."

"Xue Boyu, Mina, Jiang Sen and other friends of Xie Zhuxin also showed up at the cinema to watch "Born in July".

"Even the idol male god Hou Yize, who has not been heard from for a long time and is suspected of retiring, recently posted his thoughts after watching the movie on his personal account..."

"Without a clear advantage in the same period, the cumulative box office of "Born in July" exceeded 5 million after 3 days of release, successfully squeezed into the top three box office of the May Day film, and became the biggest dark horse of this year's May Day!"

"'Born in July' has a positive review score of 7.8 on a certain platform, and is the most talked about film of the same period. The box office performance is good, and it is expected to become the best-selling youth film this year!"

After the movie was released, good news came one after another.

The creative team, who had been worried, breathed a sigh of relief.

After five days of release, we can already confirm the basics of this movie in all aspects——

Although it cannot be said to be a super-selling product, there are still some defects caused by lack of experience, which has led to some negative reviews.

But as long as there are no unexpected events in the future, "Born in July" can be regarded as a double harvest of box office and reputation!

Whether it is to investors, audiences, or the creative team such as Gu Mei and Xie Zhuxin, a satisfactory answer has been given.

As the superstar director Gu Mei achieved such great results in his first film, he naturally benefited greatly.

Xie Zhuxin, a popular female star and the leading actress in movies, has also reaped considerable rewards.

In recent days, her work team's phone has been bombarded with calls once again.

Positive reviews for her performance in the film also poured in like a tide online.

"Xie Zhuxin subverted the role of a 'bad girl' in this movie, successfully broadened her acting range, and perfectly displayed her acting skills, which made people shine!"

"A famous film critic wrote an article praising Xie Zhuxin's performance in this film, and criticized that her previous performances in idol dramas were a sheer waste of her acting skills, and that movies can better show the full range of a good actor's charm..."

"Xie Zhuxin said in an interview that breaking through the previous screen image and proving her acting plasticity is what every actor pursues. This new generation of actress does not hide her ambition in acting..."

"Director Gu Mei said that many viewers used to think that Xie Zhu had a good appearance, but was only suitable for playing beautiful girls. Now she has proved with her performance in the movie that she can handle different types of roles and is a rare talent in the film industry..."

"Chen Mengting said in an interview that Xie Zhuxin's performance was very powerful and gave her a good stimulation. The two of them had a very good relationship outside of the play, and through this collaboration they became good friends."

"Many netizens commented that Xie Zhuxin's performance this time was indeed a big surprise. Not only did she completely abandon the idol drama acting style that focused on image in the past, her acting was real and natural, and it was also very contagious, which was the soul of the entire movie..."

These sudden positive reviews made Xie Zhuxin, who had long been accustomed to being criticized for no reason, feel a little uncomfortable.

She couldn't help but ask Gu Mei, Uncle Lou, and even asked Liu Shitong.

The response we received was that, although the unanimous praise was somewhat fueled by the film company and capital, the audience's love for the film was indeed real.

It can be said that based on the current good reputation, if good publicity can be done to fully attract the target audience, the box office will definitely be able to maintain a steady flow and develop a beautiful long-term trend.

Therefore, the production team of "Born in July" did not relax in the face of such achievements.

The May Day holiday has just ended, and in addition to strengthening marketing and promotion on major media platforms, the main creative team has already decided on a roadshow plan to go around the country.

Gu Mei will take Xie Zhuxin, Chen Mengting and the male lead to travel to more than 20 cities and start a promotional tour lasting nearly one month.

……

"I am very grateful to the audience in Han City for liking our film. I also hope that this growth story of two girls can bring some resonance about youth to everyone."

Another roadshow ended, and the creative team left the screening room amid the audience's applause and returned to the cinema's backstage lounge.

The car that was supposed to pick them up was stuck in traffic and would have to wait a while before it could leave.

"Zhu Xin, we've been to so many shows, and I can see that most of the audience really likes your character the most."

Chen Mengting gently pulled Xie Zhuxin who was in a daze and said with a smile.

Only then did Xie Zhuxin come back to his senses from his daze.

There is no way. Although the roadshow only involves going on stage and interacting with the audience for a while after a movie screening, I will leave.

But we had to change cities almost every day, and hold several screenings in each city, so the entire roadshow team was really busy.

Among them, Gu Mei and Xie Zhuxin are naturally the two biggest hot topics.

All publicity and audience interaction are basically centered around these two.

As a senior actor who has been famous for decades and is also a director this time, Gu Mei is not willing to steal too much of the limelight from the younger newcomers.

So she was not very active at the promotional event.

Therefore, most of the responsibility of livening up the atmosphere and motivating everyone to interact effectively fell on Xie Zhuxin.

How could she not be tired?

"Fortunately, although the characters this time are not likable, they are indeed written with flesh and blood, which makes it easy for the audience to empathize. And with the director's supervision, no one's performance was bad..."

Xie Zhuxin smiled at Chen Mengting with a little tiredness.

"Okay, we're not on stage now, and I'm not a petty person, so don't say such polite words to me. You really performed well this time, and everyone has eyes."

Chen Mengting leaned close to her ear, with a mysterious expression on her face.

"I just want to remind you that our producer Shi Da has a close relationship with the Golden Bauhinia Awards. Everyone in the industry knows it. If you have any ideas, don't waste the ready-made opportunity. Remember to make plans early!"

"Tingting..."

Xie Zhuxin looked at Chen Mengting with emotion and gently held her hand.

Although there are different levels of star status and different ranks.

But as two female protagonists in the same work, there are so many rival scenes.

If I say that Chen Mengting didn't have any secret competition with me during the filming, no one would believe it.

It was just a fate that they had met a few years ago, and the two of them got along very well, so they both spontaneously put this competitive mentality into the performance.

Now that the movie is released, the role of Qiqi played by myself is obviously more popular than Ansheng played by Chen Mengting.

But this is more or less due to the limitations of the script, and does not necessarily mean that Mengting's acting skills are inferior to her own.

So Xie Zhuxin has been speaking very carefully recently.

Whether in publicity or in private, he has never directly responded to questions about the comparison of the two's acting skills.

I didn't expect Chen Mengting to be so broad-minded.

Not only did he openly praise his own performance, but there was also a hint of admitting defeat.

He even started to worry about the award enthusiastically.

"Hey, stop looking at me in such a disgusting way! I'm not admitting that your acting is better than mine~"

Chen Mengting winked at Xie Zhuxin.

“I just feel like you really fit your character better than I did in this movie.

“Besides, this is only my second work. I have little experience and I don’t have as much popularity and resources as you do. The possibility of winning an award is very small.

"So, instead of fantasizing about myself winning the award, I'd rather hope that you win. After all, it adds luster to the entire work, and it will also be a credit to me~"

Having said that, Chen Mengting pouted again in dissatisfaction.

"However, next time when I come across a more suitable role, I will compete with you to see whose performance is better!"

Xie Zhuxin couldn't help but burst out laughing.

He quickly put away his smile, looked at Chen Mengting, and nodded seriously.

"Okay, I accept your challenge!"

The two people held hands and smiled at each other.

"The car is coming!"

Just then, a greeting came from outside the backstage lounge.

All members of the roadshow team stood up and walked out.

Just as Xie Zhuxin reached the door, she saw Gu Mei, who had gone outside to answer a phone call at some point, walking back towards her with a serious expression on her face.

But before she could ask, Gu Mei walked up to her first.

"Please stay for a moment. I have something to tell you."

The others around quickened their pace and left tactfully.

Only Gu Mei and Xie Zhuxin were left in the lounge.

Xie Zhuxin was a little confused.

"Sister Gu Mei, what's wrong?"

"I'm sorry, Zhuxin, but I can't continue to participate in the roadshow. I'll have to leave all the promotion of this movie to you."

Gu Mei said in a low voice.

Xie Zhu was stunned.

"what's the situation?"

Gu Mei sighed, a bitter smile appearing on her face.

"The time bomb in my house has exploded again."
