BE Crazy Demon Survival System
Chapter 24 The peak contest between beauty and acting skills
"CUT!"
As soon as he yelled to stop, Xu Qichen rolled over from Lin Ran and lay on the bed.
Chen Anping was not very surprised by Lin Ran's performance. After all, this kid has played all kinds of difficult roles, even with the same sex, with his professionalism, he will not have too much difficulty.
But Ji Mengze did surprise him. In the script, Nan Ke was originally the main character, but he turned his back on the guest in the second half of the script. He acted provocatively but not too much. This kind of expressiveness is not like an idol artist at all. It could be done, and Lin Ran was even taken away by his performance.
The sex scene just now was supposed to be very seductive and intense, but he performed it with a strong sense of poignancy.
Probably because of the temperament.
Chen Anping felt like a blessing in disguise.
After yelling to stop, Lin Ran sat up with his body upright, trying hard to suppress the restlessness in his heart, and calmed down his breath.
The person beside him was still motionless, Lin Ran wanted to reach out to push him, but after thinking about it, he retracted it, and only called softly, "Hello."
Xu Qichen's hands tightly clutched the bed sheet.
When he returned to reality, he just felt very sad.
Trying to support himself to get up, the studio became noisy again, Lin Ran just watched him put his shirt on, got out of bed, and walked towards the monitor.
Didn't even look at him.
Not a single glance.
A fire was burning, and suddenly a basin of cold water was poured on it, and it was completely extinguished.
Originally, the feeling of being able to touch but not eat was enough tormenting, but I didn't expect this guy to be able to change back to his original appearance in an instant.
He is simply more professional than an actor like him.
Professional to the point of brutality.
Xu Qichen always had a detached and quiet look, he would never refuse, resist, or approach anyone.
He began to doubt, and felt unwilling.
Lin Ran put on his clothes and left the bed where his faint scent still lingered.
All the scenes in the hotel are over, and everyone will call it a day.On the way back, Zhang Xiaoxiao saw Xu Qichen staring out the window without saying a word, so he asked, "Brother Mengze, are you tired?"
Xu Qichen turned his head, "No, I just drank some wine and felt a little dizzy."
"Just now I heard the staff praise you outside, saying that you acted very well." Zhang Xiaoxiao smiled happily, "Brother Mengze, your play has really improved a lot, I can see that You are serious."
Xu Qichen leaned his head against the car window, "Did I not be serious before?"
"No, it was very good before. It's just that you are very involved in this drama, as if the character is just like you. I can't tell if you are still acting."
Xu Qichen didn't reply, this is where he felt guilty.
He knows that this drama is the best chance for Ji Mengze to stand up, and he must act well, so even if he puts all his personal emotions into the role, he has no choice but to act well, change Ji Mengze's image in everyone's mind, and complete the main task , he is willing to do anything.
But now he found that he had thought of this original intention too simply.
When he was writing this novel, he intentionally or unintentionally poured some of his emotions into the character of Yu Ning. What he could and couldn't do was expressed through the character of Yu Ning.Compared with the real protagonist Ji Mengze, the role of Yu Ning is closer to himself.
But when he used the power of alcohol to put himself in Yuning's position to interpret his emotions, he realized how brave he was and how cowardly he was.
Yuning uprooted all those feelings that he had buried deeply for many years.
It gets more and more frustrating.
He regretted a little, why he poured his personal emotions into the novel, why he mapped the person he liked on the character.
Kiss by the sea comes to mind again.
Even though he's never been in a relationship, it wasn't his first kiss, and neither was the original kiss scene.
Xu Qichen never understood what a kiss meant. Many years ago, he was kissed without warning, but it was just a joke.
What about Lin Ran?
His thoughts were entangled, causing Xu Qichen to fall into deep self-denial, just like every time he wrote about the emotional line, he would always collapse involuntarily. In the final analysis, it was because he didn't understand what normal love should be.
Suddenly, a system reward interface appeared in front of him, this time it was [-], click to collect, and at the same time, he ended his thinking.
Even so, Xu Qichen is a person who can digest negative emotions in time, and will not be depressed forever.When he started work the next day, he was back to serious work.
Generally speaking, Nan Ke played more roles than Yu Ning in this movie, so Xu Qichen often sat on the set and watched Lin Ran act, learning while watching.
The only difference is that Lin Ran didn't come to him again when he was resting.
Even when they were filming a rivalry scene between the two, as soon as the director called to stop, Lin Ran turned around and walked away to rest.
The atmosphere was so obvious that even Zhang Xiaoxiao noticed that something was wrong, and handed Xu Qichen two cups of milk tea, "Brother Mengze, are you arguing with Brother Lin Ran, the atmosphere between the two of you feels weird..."
Xu Qichen took it over, "Maybe... I don't know what's wrong."
It's not that he didn't feel Lin Ran's abnormality.
In the past, Lin Ran took the initiative every time. He was almost used to Lin Ran appearing in front of him. Now that his voice and that half-smile face were missing suddenly, he felt depressed, but recalling what happened before, But can't find a clue.
"Go and give brother Lin Ran a drink."
The fine drops of water on the wall of the milk tea cup seeped into the palm lines, Xu Qichen compromised, "Okay."
Holding the milk tea, he looked for Lin Ran's trace.
Seeing his back, leaning against the wall.
He hesitated at the pace, but he still walked over, about three or four meters away, and saw him talking and laughing happily with the actress who played a supporting role in the same group.
The girl's eyes are bright, like a deer.Lin Ran took a bottle of water from her, and after taking a sip, he didn't know what the other party said, and suddenly burst out laughing, looking very bright under the sun.
Don't laugh at others like that.
Xu Qichen was stunned suddenly, or rather, he was frightened by the words that suddenly came out of his heart.
Why is it so.
He turned around and walked more and more anxiously, just wanting to leave this place as soon as possible.
Fearing that Xiaoxiao would feel disappointed that he didn't send out the milk tea, Xu Qichen found a corner and drank two cups by himself. He, who always likes sweets, actually felt a little nauseous.
This job is really difficult. Although the two have a rift, they still have to be intimate under the camera.
After performing his part, Xu Qichen went back to the hotel first and curled up under the quilt.
It remained like this for the next few days, no one spoke to the other party on WeChat, and continued to work so tacitly maintaining such a distance. Xu Qichen would think about the reason at first, but later he simply attributed the reason to himself.
It must be something I did wrong.
0901: "If so, you should go and apologize, or your side mission may fail."
Xu Qichen: "This task is out of my control."
When it's good it's too good, when it's bad it's too bad.
Is this how people fall in love?
What... it's not love at all.Xu Qichen was devastated.
After the night scene was filmed one day, Xu Qichen sent Lin Ran a WeChat message.
Xu Qichen: Do you want to have supper?
After a few minutes, Lin Ran replied.
Lin Ran: No, it's time to go to bed.
This is an obvious rejection.
Xu Qichen didn't win the chance to apologize for himself, but if he apologized on WeChat, it would be too insincere.
So the next day, he mustered up the courage to go forward while Lin Ran was reading the script by himself.
"sorry."
Lin Ran looked up, "Why?"
Xu Qichen was silent, so he didn't know the truth, he just felt that it must be his fault.
After waiting for a long time, Lin Ran lowered his head, "I should apologize. I have done too many things to you, sorry."
Before Xu Qichen could speak, Lin Ran stood up and walked away.
Failed again.
That's right, he had already seen Lin Ran's abnormality.
But he was even more afraid, and only after he explained it clearly did he realize that this was Lin Ran's normal state.
All the previous things were just a temporary effect of novelty.
Anyway, this isn't the first time this has happened.
This stalemate persisted until the day of his finale. Originally, the scene in the bar was arranged at the front, but because of a problem with the lease of the venue, this scene became Xu Qichen's finale scene.
In this scene, Yu Ning is drinking at the bar, dancing with the girls who strike up a conversation in the bar, and happens to be seen by Nan Ke who is having a party with his colleagues, so he has a part in the hotel scene later.
"The first time in the 97th match of "Nanke", let's start!"
Yuning sat at the bar: "A glass of dry Martini, thank you."
Just after taking a sip, a beautiful woman with a good figure appeared beside her, "Is your taste in drinking so conservative?"
With his chin resting on his hand, Yuning looked at the woman in front of him, she smiled, and said to the bartender, "B52 bomber."
Yuning laughed, and the woman asked back, "Together?"
"My pleasure."
The woman continued: "Two sets of B52."
Two rows of B52 bombers were set up, and the bartender lit them one by one, and the blue flames on the layered wine kept jumping.Yu Ning looked sideways at the person beside him, "Ladyfirst."
The other party picked up the short straw at hand and inserted it into the cup. Just as he was about to lower his head, the straw caught fire.
"CUT!"
The actress immediately threw the straw on the ground, stepped on it a few times, and apologized repeatedly.
"It's okay, I also find this very difficult." Xu Qichen comforted.
The deity who plays the role of the bartender is a professional bartender. He once again emphasized, "You must drink quickly, don't be afraid. Or don't use a straw, put out the fire with a lemon slice and wipe the rim of the glass, Drink it in one gulp."
This wine still has a certain degree of alcohol, so they only took one or two shots of drinking it, and the rest depended on editing.
"One more!"
"The second time in the 97th match of "Nanke"! Start!"
With a snap, a smile appeared on Yu Ning's face: "ladyfirst."
The woman inserted the straw into the bottom of the cup and drank it quickly, "It's your turn."
Yuning picked up a slice of lemon, raised his head and drank it as soon as the fire was extinguished, and then put the cup back to its original place.
"Okay, this time it's fine."
After several shots of the bar, the two actors were about to move to the dance floor.
"May I borrow a seat for the kiss scene later?" Xu Qichen asked Director Chen.
Chen Anping was puzzled: "You kissed male celebrities for real, and you have to borrow seats with actresses."
Xu Qichen twitched the corner of his mouth in embarrassment.
Considering Ji Mengze's career and fanatical fans, Chen Anping still agreed, "All right, you can put your thumb on her mouth later."
"Nan Ke! Nan Ke and Gina can sit by now."
When everything was ready, Xu Qichen put his arms around the actress's waist. The actress was wearing a backless dress, and there was an inescapable discomfort when his fingers touched the skin.
"The first time in the 98th match of "Nanke"!"
On the dance floor, under the dizzying lights, Yu Ning and a woman embraced each other intimately, swaying their bodies wantonly with the music.
"Nanke."
Nan Ke withdrew his gaze, and Gina, who was sitting next to him, smiled and asked, "What are you looking at, do you know anyone?"
Nan Ke shook his head, "I got it wrong."
Waiter: "Hi, wine for you two."
"Thank you." Gina moved the wine to Nan Ke, but accidentally knocked it over, and the blue cocktail dripped down the table onto Nan Ke's pants. Gina said sorry in a panic, and took out a tissue from her bag to replace him. Wipe, "It's okay, it's okay." Nan Ke lowered his head and reached out to stop him.
This kind of movement, under the distortion of the light and angle, turned into an extremely ambiguous posture.
Yu Ning had a panoramic view, tightly hugged the woman's hand, the two were almost stuck together, he stretched out his hand and gently stroked the other's cheek, then lowered his head and kissed her, but his eyes drifted to a dark corner not far away, Until he met the sight of Nan Ke who raised his head.
A seductive and aggressive look.
It's as if the character he plays is also a hunter.
Again the prey itself.
Seeing Nan Ke staring at him motionlessly, but never leaving that position, Yu Ning ended the long kiss, and frivolously dragged his female partner's hand back to the bar.
"CUT! This one is over!"
The photographer sighed to Chen Anping, "Yu Ning's eyes just now are incredible."
Chen Anping nodded and hummed.
Xu Qichen let go of the actress' hand, the other's face was a little shy, and he politely stepped back a little.
Just now seeing Lin Ran overlapping with the actress who played Gina, the scene of Lin Ran talking and laughing with another girl that afternoon flashed through his mind.
There are countless pictures of Lin Ran ignoring him.
There was an inexplicable fire in my chest, and I didn't feel like myself anymore.
I thought that Huang Shen would be NG just now, but I didn't expect it, it's really strange.
Being called by the stylist to touch up his drunk makeup, Xu Qichen stopped thinking about it.
The bar was too noisy, the bass of the music made the heart tremble, and the glass of wine he drank just now had some reactions. Xu Qichen laughed at himself. For non-professionals like him, alcohol has become a catalyst for acting.
In other words, a catalyst for emotions.
"The second time in the 99th match of "Nanke"! Start!"
The two continued to drink and chat, and the ambiguous distance became closer and closer until they fell drunk in each other's arms.
Falling into the arms of the actress, Xu Qichen added it temporarily.
Nan Ke held the cup tighter and tighter, and finally said to Gina, "Sorry, I still have something to do, let's break up today."
"You go home early, I'll pay the bill."
Ignoring Gina's obvious disappointment, Nan Ke got up and left this embarrassing position, went straight to the bar, and dragged the drunk man out of the woman's arms.
"Sorry, I took this person back first."
"Huh?" Yuning, who was forcibly pulled out, couldn't stand still, with a hint of confusion on his face.
But the woman in front of her didn't mean to let him go directly, "Who are you, and what is your relationship with him?"
"It has nothing to do with you." Nan Ke's expression was rather ugly.
The woman cursed and left with her bag.
Yuning lay on Nan Ke's shoulder, squinted his eyes and looked carefully for a long time, then called out his name, "Nan Ke?"
Nan Ke set him up, but was thrown away by the opponent.
"Let go of me..." Yu Ning supported the bar, "You ruined my good deed..."
Nan Ke became even more angry, and grabbed his wrist, "Your good thing? Is it your pleasure to sleep with strangers every day?"
Lin Ran's strength was stronger than he had imagined, Xu Qichen frowned in pain, trying to break free, but the other party grabbed both arms at the same time.
"what are you doing!"
The confusion, grievance, entanglement and depression of several consecutive days were all released at this moment.
"You don't care what I do! Ah?!" With all his strength, he pulled out his hand, "Just walk away, ignore me, treat me like air, aren't you the best at these things!"
Alcohol and emotions drained his strength, Xu Qichen's body slipped along the bar and fell to the ground.
"What position do you have...interfering with me..."
Many of the lines were not the original lines, Lin Ran looked down at him who was muttering to himself and cried, and clenched his fists tightly.
Xu Qichen supported the ground with one hand, grabbed the chair beside him with the other and sat up awkwardly. He realized that he had made a mistake, but the director didn't stop, so he could only bite the bullet and continue the original lines. .
"You drove my bedmate away tonight."
Leaning on the bar with his head sideways, he pointed to the dance floor and smiled innocently.
"You go... find someone who will compensate me... someone who is prettier than you, gentler than you..."
After saying this, he buried his head in his arms like a child, and spoke drunkenly in French in a muffled voice.
Lin Ran stood there for a while, but still stepped forward to help him up, he seemed to have lost the consciousness of resistance, and collapsed limply, almost unable to walk, he could only half-squat down to support his arms He wrapped his arms around his neck, carried him on his back, walked out of the noisy bar step by step, and the long shot finally ended.
"CUT! It's done!"
Xu Qichen got off Lin Ran's back, his feet were a little weak, he almost fell down, but managed to stop.
Lin Ran glanced back, then turned his head quickly.
The staff rushed up, and Xu Qichen saw Li Yun's figure, holding a bouquet of flowers in her hand.
"Congratulations to Mengze for finishing!"
Is that the end?Without the slightest sense of reality.
Li Yun stepped forward and handed him the flowers, "You must be very tired."
Xu Qichen raised his hand to wipe away the tears he shed while acting, took the bouquet, and whispered thank you.Then bow to the staff one by one.
"It's been hard work, everyone has worked hard, thank you for taking care of me for so many days."
When he walked in front of Chen Anping, the other party opened his arms first, Xu Qichen froze for a moment, and then hugged him.
"Thank you Director Chen, you really helped me a lot and taught me a lot."
Chen Anping patted him on the back, "It's his luck that this character didn't miss you."
Surrounded by a group of staff, Xu Qichen thought Lin Ran had left long ago, but he was still there, looking at him from a distance of several meters.
After struggling for a while, Xu Qichen walked over.
"Thank you, I have dragged you down a lot in the past two months, and you still worked hard to lead me, otherwise I'm afraid I wouldn't have finished so quickly..."
His voice was getting lower and lower.
Until she was suddenly hugged by Lin Ran, it was a very short and safe hug.
"You're welcome."
Then he let go, leaving him standing in place holding a bouquet of flowers.
It felt like after this hug, there was a hole in his left atrium, which had been agitated for a long time and finally completely separated from his body, and went where it wanted to go.
It hurts.
Xu Qichen didn't remember how he attended the wrap-up banquet, what he said and what he did at that time, only Lin Ran's polite and unfamiliar politeness was in his mind.
Did he say something wrong?
Or did something wrong?
He asked in his heart: "0901, does Lin Ran like me?"
0901: "Mr. Xu, as I said, this is a foul."
"Does Lin Ran like me?"
0901: "Mr. Xu, I have no authority to tell you..."
"Does he like me?"
0901: "Mr. Xu, you can only..."
"Does he like me? Does Lin Ran like me?"
0901: "Mr. Xu, as an AI, I don't understand human emotions, and I can't comfort you from the perspective of empathy. But in essence, the development of anything is a spiral process, and there will inevitably be tortuous."
Xu Qichen lowered his head and smiled wryly, "I didn't expect artificial intelligence to study philosophy."
0901 ignored his teasing: "So Mr. Xu, I think you are now standing before the critical point of qualitative change."
Does this mean to tell him not to give up?
After wrapping up, he left the film crew, but he didn't completely leave the lives of Yuning and Nan Ke. In the next week, he still needs to enter the studio to complete the recording of Yuning's chanting in the film.
After the end, even if Ji Mengze's career is really back on track, the life of an idol is even more difficult than that of the crew, practicing the dances and songs of the new album day and night, and flying around the world to shoot MVs , Shoot magazines and record programs, so busy that I only sleep three or four hours a day.
It was only after practicing it that I discovered that idols who have been criticized by everyone are not so easy to do.
Even so, when his name appeared on Weibo, the voice of abuse still did not decrease.
Bai Yi bumped into Ming Qi's arm, "Captain, don't you think Mengze looks different after he comes back from the play?"
The captain nodded, "It's completely in a state of working hard, and the whole person is about to become a robot."
Mechanically exposed to various cameras and lights every day, surrounded by countless fans, Xu Qichen's body and mind became more and more numb.
In the blink of an eye, half of autumn has passed.
After the release of the new album, he became even busier, playing songs on various variety shows, participating in signing parties in various places, and flying around every day.
Even for the main task, he must treat his work with the most serious attitude.
This kind of life made Xu Qichen feel at ease, like an ostrich, burying his head in endless fatigue, making himself unable to relax and think about too many other things.
At the beginning of November, Li Yun told him that "Nanke" was about to enter the promotion period.
Xu Qichen: "Is it so fast?"
He didn't even know how the past few months had passed.
Li Yun handed him a schedule, "The post-production of romantic literary films usually doesn't take too long. Originally, the start of this film was delayed due to casting, and the management wanted to set the file for Christmas. It’s not easy to do publicity.”
Xu Qichen nodded, and when he saw the word Nanke on the schedule, his chest felt tight. He thought that after such a long time, this feeling would almost disappear soon.
It's all delusions.
"The official should release the promotional posters first. It's all the promotion of the film studio. We don't need to ask too much. The main thing is that at the end of the month, we will join Lin Ran in some variety shows, and they will be aired on the eve of the movie's release to build momentum for the movie."
"Did Lin Ran agree?"
It was a little strange for Li Yun to hear Xu Qichen ask this question, "Why would you disagree? He is the first protagonist in this movie, so there is no reason not to promote his own movie." But Li Yun also noticed something, "When you were filming before The relationship is very good, I haven't seen the two of you interacting on Weibo recently."
Xu Qichen: "Because I've been very busy all the time, I seldom post on Weibo."
That's right, just after filming the filming, it was time to release the album. Jiang Ling, who has always been very resistant, complained for the first time that he couldn't bear such a high-intensity workload, but he didn't complain at all, and silently completed every task seriously.
I don't know whether it's an enlightenment or a dead end.
"In short, we need to work harder during the promotion period, and strive to earn back word of mouth and popularity through this movie." Li Yun patted Xu Qichen on the shoulder, "I believe in you."
Xu Qichen hummed.
Sure enough, on November 11, the official Weibo of "Nanke" began to release the first movie poster.
[Movie "Nanke"]: A youthful dream.
There is only one poster for the picture.
The design of the poster adopts the technique of double exposure. The main body is the profile of Nan Ke, and another picture is reflected in the position of the head, the blue coastline of Nice, and the backs of two teenagers one behind the other.
Xu Qichen stared at the poster for a while, and then prepared to forward it.
Not knowing what to send, Li Yun gave him a ready-made copy, but he felt that it was too hypocritical, so he clicked on a love emoji and forwarded it. Although there was no sincerity, it would not appear too positive.
Retweets and comments quickly piled up.
[Caring madman Ji Mengze]: Please read my ID silently.
【Did Mengmeng marry me today】: True Love Crazy Devil 2333
[Mengmeng Knock Meng]: Has the promotion finally started!So excited, hurry up and set the file!
Below the original blog's comments, more passers-by appeared.
[Lychee-flavored soda]: The poster looks so good, it's a refreshing summer breeze.
【Who said it wasn't】: The official blog promotes the film's aloofness, it's definitely following the director~
[Guji Guji]: Lin Ran's side profile is too pretty, the silhouette of the eyelashes is perfect!
Xu Qichen flipped through the comments, and accidentally clicked on the retweet column, and happened to see the latest retweet.
It's Lin Ran.
Send a heart.
In this way, two small red hearts echoed up and down in the first two hot forwards in the forwarding column, as if they had been agreed in advance.
[I'll carry the soft and cute flag]: Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, sisters!
[Soft cute girl]: Two caring madmen~
[Ruan Ruan Meng Meng]: official blog inner OS: the high-cold and aggressive character set that I finally got out was made sweet and greasy by the two of you, quit!
[Wang Xiaoer, a netizen who eats melons]: The two Weifans are vying to repost, and the two love ones on the top and the other on the top. It feels like they are fighting for offense and acceptance hahaha.
……
Seeing Lin Ran's love heart, Xu Qichen felt mixed feelings.
It's just business.
He explained in his heart, not knowing who to explain to.
After a week, the official blog of "Nanke" released the second poster, which also wrote four words coldly - Dream of Years.
The design of the poster is similar to the first one, it still shows Nan Ke's side face, reflecting the bizarre night scene of Shanghai, and Nan Ke's back walking on the street late at night with Yuning on his back.
The release of the two promotional posters triggered heated discussions among netizens about the plot of the movie. For a while, the word Nanke frequently appeared in hot searches on Weibo.
Although everyone in the company is very satisfied with the promotional effect of the film, Xu Qichen always feels uneasy in his heart. After all, the existence of Ji Mengze itself is a threat to many stars. How can competitors be willing to watch his new movie released instead of Make trouble.
Facts have proved that Xu Qichen's premonitions are always accurate.
When the end of the month was approaching, suddenly a few entertainment bloggers on Weibo started posting a collection of embarrassing scenes from Ji Mengze's previous bad movies.
[Entertainment Gossip Master]: Ji Mengze's new movie will be released soon. I don't know if his acting skills will improve.Review Ji Mengze's film and television works in the past few years and see if you can hold on for a few minutes.
The forwarded comments are almost all words that express embarrassment. If you look closely at the ID, you can find that many fans of other traffic niches are in the rhythm.
[Lonely Rebirth]: The plot and lines make my scalp tingle...
[Amnesia Butterfly]: jmz's acting skills are too overpowering, I dare not buy a ticket to see his movie, please let the famous director go.
[Sell melon seeds in the front row]: But at this point in time, it's obviously for jmz, and what if someone's acting skills improve?
[It's hard to live without wifi]: Progress?It's too easy to say, if you can improve so quickly, why do you need a professional film school, and jmz has no professional ethics at all, just to make money and accept bad movies.
[LuvMe]: After seeing it this way, I suddenly lost interest in that movie... But I always feel a little sorry for Lin Ran.
[Are you a devil]: Lin Ran is so pitiful, he has to bite the bullet and fire CP after being dragged down.
……
can not watch anymore.
Xu Qichen, who was still calm at first, couldn't help but feel bored when he saw the last few articles. He tried his best to adjust his mood until he calmed down again.
He made a phone call to Chen Anping, and the other party seemed to have expected to receive his call.
"You've seen the comments on the Internet, right?" Chen Anping said calmly, "Any thoughts?"
Xu Qichen hesitated for a moment, and said, "Director, don't take any actions to counter public opinion, and I won't speak out."
"Oh?" Chen Anping was a little surprised. He originally thought that the purpose of this call was to let him help change the public opinion atmosphere, release some tidbits or audition clips to fight back against these smears.
"Immediate response and public relations can reverse the public opinion." Xu Qichen paused, "But director, I want the effect of a Jedi counterattack."
"I've heard from Sister Yun that the movie may be scheduled for Christmas, so there's still nearly a month left. If possible, I want Director Chen to communicate with the producer and postpone the trailer to It will be released in mid-December, and we will hold back for two weeks and let public opinion ferment."
"Are you trying to create a contrast?"
"Yes." Xu Qichen continued, "The lower you are suppressed, the higher the public opinion will rebound."
Either don't turn over, turn over must be thorough.
To be honest, this method of public relations is not safe, but Chen Anping has confidence in the quality of his film, not to mention that he has already told people around him more than once that this kid will definitely have a big reputation after the film is released.
Because he is really amazing.
That being the case, might as well take advantage of these online public opinions.
In this way, Xu Qichen was scolded for two whole weeks, and then he hardly opened Weibo anymore.
On the afternoon of December 12th, several members came down from the company building together, preparing to go to the commercial shooting site.
In the evening is the press conference of "Nanke", and the schedule is very tight.
"The advertiser has already agreed to shorten the shooting time as much as possible, and the stylist will follow along. After a while, he will go directly to the press conference, and then he will participate in the recording of the rapid confrontation tomorrow morning. December 12 is Business show,..." Zhang Xiaoxiao followed Xu Qichen, reporting the itinerary, but as soon as he stepped out of the company's gate, he was pushed away abruptly.
Fans swarmed in, holding all kinds of gifts in their hands. Although the members were too crowded to walk, they still kept the smiles on their faces that are necessary for idols.
"Mengze Mengze, you have to work hard! Don't worry about the nonsense of those people on the Internet!"
Xu Qichen smiled and nodded, "Okay."
"Jiang Ling Jiang Ling! Ah, I can feel Jiang Ling's muscles!"
"Shen Huan! Shen Huan, I love you!!"
"The team looks so good today!"
"Bai Yi! Mom loves you!"
Laughter erupted from the crowd.
A thin girl with a short head and a hat and mask was squeezed in front of Xu Qichen, staggered and almost fell, Xu Qichen held her arm, "It's all right."
The girl shook her head, and when Xu Qichen smiled at her, she raised her hand.
It was too late to see what she was holding in her hand.
A strong burning sensation has eroded his left eye instantly.
The crowd was still bustling, and it wasn't until Xu Qichen covered his eyes and squatted on the ground that someone realized something was wrong. The severe pain and high fever that continued to spread in his eyeballs made his consciousness begin to slacken, and tears poured out physiologically.
"What happened to Mengze! Mengze!"
"Get out of the way!" A few teammates reacted, brushed aside the panicked fans, and helped Xu Qichen up.
A sudden disaster disrupted all plans, and Xu Qichen, who was sent to the hospital for emergency treatment, could only miss the subsequent commercials and the press conference of "Nanke".
"The current black fans are simply lawless, they dare to go to the door of the company to do such a thing!"
Xu Qichen was lying on the hospital bed with his eyes closed, when he heard Li Yun's furious voice outside the door.
"Be sure to catch me, this is a crime!"
After being sent to the hospital, I found out that I was sprayed with pepper water. The doctor washed it with lotion for a long time. The burning sensation was much less than before, but it was still very painful. I reached out and touched my left eye, and I could only touch it. to a thick layer of gauze.
The sound outside became quieter, and Xu Qichen heard the sound of the door being pushed open.
"Is it better?" Li Yun's voice softened, as if the person who got angry outside just now was not her.
Xu Qichen hummed.
"We have already called the police," Li Yun sighed. "I didn't expect this kind of thing to happen downstairs in the company. I should have arranged for some bodyguards to take you downstairs."
"Fortunately, the doctor said that the concentration of the chili water is not very high, and it should not have a bad effect on the cornea."
Li Yun: "Don't go to tomorrow's reality show."
"No." Xu Qichen flatly refused, "Tomorrow I have to promote the movie, so I have to go."
"It's not like you don't know, that reality show is full of running and jumping, all kinds of sports, and sometimes you have to go into the water, how can you go like this."
Xu Qichen propped himself up with his hands and sat up, "It's okay. The program team will definitely take care of me when they know my situation. My absence from the press conference tonight has already caused a big impact. I must attend tomorrow's program."
Seeing Xu Qichen's insistence, Li Yun didn't say anything more, but just patted him on the shoulder, "Then I'll go talk to the program team, since your matter has already been in the news, they are probably quite anxious."
Xu Qichen hummed and watched Li Yun leave.His eyes were still hurting, and he said his decision to go on the show as usual without thinking about it just now, but now that he thinks about it, it seems to be selfish.
The entrance of the hospital was full of reporters, so Xu Qichen had no choice but to leave through the back door.
As expected, hot words such as [Ji Mengze was attacked by black fans], [Ji Mengze left eye was injured], [Ji Mengze was absent from the press conference] and [Nanke] were airborne and hot searched, and several topics exploded.
This made the film reach unprecedented popularity, even surpassing the initial casting controversy.
Although there are still discordant voices, most netizens stand in a positive position and condemn malicious acts of hurting people.
On the afternoon of the second day, Xu Qichen appeared at the scene of the rapid confrontation recording. The staff were very impressed. In their view, Ji Mengze's traffic was very precious. Being sprayed with pepper water in the eyes was not a trivial matter. Think about going to work the next day.
Xu Qichen's hair was dyed back to dark brown because of the promotional movie. The stylist gave it a blow-dry style. Shunmao looked very obedient. Then he added a black monocular eye patch to the eyes covered with gauze and tied it at the back of his head.
"It can also avoid light, and it looks better than gauze."
"Thank you."
There are two main MCs for the show, one is the well-known host Yang Cheng, the other is the comedian Zhao Qi, and the other two regular MCs are all actors. Including Lin Ran and Xu Qichen as two guests, the total There are six people.
This is an outdoor reality show with very high ratings. The director team will arrange challenges according to the theme of each episode. Guests and MCs will be divided into two groups to compete physically and mentally.
The director's team arranged for him to enter the scene last, and Xu Qichen waited on the sidelines, and only walked over after the director's team informed him to follow up with his camera.
Lin Ran, who was pretending to be chatting with a few regular MCs, saw Xu Qichen come in, and as expected, his heart twitched hard.
He was wearing a gray woolen coat with a black turtleneck sweater inside. The black eyepatch covered his left eye, making his skin very pale. When he approached, he bent down repeatedly, bowing and smiling at all the guests present.
Lin Ran realized that he was also looking at himself.
But why, he would show such a look.
It's like a stray cat that has gone through untold hardships and finally returned to its owner.
As soon as he yelled to stop, Xu Qichen rolled over from Lin Ran and lay on the bed.
Chen Anping was not very surprised by Lin Ran's performance. After all, this kid has played all kinds of difficult roles, even with the same sex, with his professionalism, he will not have too much difficulty.
But Ji Mengze did surprise him. In the script, Nan Ke was originally the main character, but he turned his back on the guest in the second half of the script. He acted provocatively but not too much. This kind of expressiveness is not like an idol artist at all. It could be done, and Lin Ran was even taken away by his performance.
The sex scene just now was supposed to be very seductive and intense, but he performed it with a strong sense of poignancy.
Probably because of the temperament.
Chen Anping felt like a blessing in disguise.
After yelling to stop, Lin Ran sat up with his body upright, trying hard to suppress the restlessness in his heart, and calmed down his breath.
The person beside him was still motionless, Lin Ran wanted to reach out to push him, but after thinking about it, he retracted it, and only called softly, "Hello."
Xu Qichen's hands tightly clutched the bed sheet.
When he returned to reality, he just felt very sad.
Trying to support himself to get up, the studio became noisy again, Lin Ran just watched him put his shirt on, got out of bed, and walked towards the monitor.
Didn't even look at him.
Not a single glance.
A fire was burning, and suddenly a basin of cold water was poured on it, and it was completely extinguished.
Originally, the feeling of being able to touch but not eat was enough tormenting, but I didn't expect this guy to be able to change back to his original appearance in an instant.
He is simply more professional than an actor like him.
Professional to the point of brutality.
Xu Qichen always had a detached and quiet look, he would never refuse, resist, or approach anyone.
He began to doubt, and felt unwilling.
Lin Ran put on his clothes and left the bed where his faint scent still lingered.
All the scenes in the hotel are over, and everyone will call it a day.On the way back, Zhang Xiaoxiao saw Xu Qichen staring out the window without saying a word, so he asked, "Brother Mengze, are you tired?"
Xu Qichen turned his head, "No, I just drank some wine and felt a little dizzy."
"Just now I heard the staff praise you outside, saying that you acted very well." Zhang Xiaoxiao smiled happily, "Brother Mengze, your play has really improved a lot, I can see that You are serious."
Xu Qichen leaned his head against the car window, "Did I not be serious before?"
"No, it was very good before. It's just that you are very involved in this drama, as if the character is just like you. I can't tell if you are still acting."
Xu Qichen didn't reply, this is where he felt guilty.
He knows that this drama is the best chance for Ji Mengze to stand up, and he must act well, so even if he puts all his personal emotions into the role, he has no choice but to act well, change Ji Mengze's image in everyone's mind, and complete the main task , he is willing to do anything.
But now he found that he had thought of this original intention too simply.
When he was writing this novel, he intentionally or unintentionally poured some of his emotions into the character of Yu Ning. What he could and couldn't do was expressed through the character of Yu Ning.Compared with the real protagonist Ji Mengze, the role of Yu Ning is closer to himself.
But when he used the power of alcohol to put himself in Yuning's position to interpret his emotions, he realized how brave he was and how cowardly he was.
Yuning uprooted all those feelings that he had buried deeply for many years.
It gets more and more frustrating.
He regretted a little, why he poured his personal emotions into the novel, why he mapped the person he liked on the character.
Kiss by the sea comes to mind again.
Even though he's never been in a relationship, it wasn't his first kiss, and neither was the original kiss scene.
Xu Qichen never understood what a kiss meant. Many years ago, he was kissed without warning, but it was just a joke.
What about Lin Ran?
His thoughts were entangled, causing Xu Qichen to fall into deep self-denial, just like every time he wrote about the emotional line, he would always collapse involuntarily. In the final analysis, it was because he didn't understand what normal love should be.
Suddenly, a system reward interface appeared in front of him, this time it was [-], click to collect, and at the same time, he ended his thinking.
Even so, Xu Qichen is a person who can digest negative emotions in time, and will not be depressed forever.When he started work the next day, he was back to serious work.
Generally speaking, Nan Ke played more roles than Yu Ning in this movie, so Xu Qichen often sat on the set and watched Lin Ran act, learning while watching.
The only difference is that Lin Ran didn't come to him again when he was resting.
Even when they were filming a rivalry scene between the two, as soon as the director called to stop, Lin Ran turned around and walked away to rest.
The atmosphere was so obvious that even Zhang Xiaoxiao noticed that something was wrong, and handed Xu Qichen two cups of milk tea, "Brother Mengze, are you arguing with Brother Lin Ran, the atmosphere between the two of you feels weird..."
Xu Qichen took it over, "Maybe... I don't know what's wrong."
It's not that he didn't feel Lin Ran's abnormality.
In the past, Lin Ran took the initiative every time. He was almost used to Lin Ran appearing in front of him. Now that his voice and that half-smile face were missing suddenly, he felt depressed, but recalling what happened before, But can't find a clue.
"Go and give brother Lin Ran a drink."
The fine drops of water on the wall of the milk tea cup seeped into the palm lines, Xu Qichen compromised, "Okay."
Holding the milk tea, he looked for Lin Ran's trace.
Seeing his back, leaning against the wall.
He hesitated at the pace, but he still walked over, about three or four meters away, and saw him talking and laughing happily with the actress who played a supporting role in the same group.
The girl's eyes are bright, like a deer.Lin Ran took a bottle of water from her, and after taking a sip, he didn't know what the other party said, and suddenly burst out laughing, looking very bright under the sun.
Don't laugh at others like that.
Xu Qichen was stunned suddenly, or rather, he was frightened by the words that suddenly came out of his heart.
Why is it so.
He turned around and walked more and more anxiously, just wanting to leave this place as soon as possible.
Fearing that Xiaoxiao would feel disappointed that he didn't send out the milk tea, Xu Qichen found a corner and drank two cups by himself. He, who always likes sweets, actually felt a little nauseous.
This job is really difficult. Although the two have a rift, they still have to be intimate under the camera.
After performing his part, Xu Qichen went back to the hotel first and curled up under the quilt.
It remained like this for the next few days, no one spoke to the other party on WeChat, and continued to work so tacitly maintaining such a distance. Xu Qichen would think about the reason at first, but later he simply attributed the reason to himself.
It must be something I did wrong.
0901: "If so, you should go and apologize, or your side mission may fail."
Xu Qichen: "This task is out of my control."
When it's good it's too good, when it's bad it's too bad.
Is this how people fall in love?
What... it's not love at all.Xu Qichen was devastated.
After the night scene was filmed one day, Xu Qichen sent Lin Ran a WeChat message.
Xu Qichen: Do you want to have supper?
After a few minutes, Lin Ran replied.
Lin Ran: No, it's time to go to bed.
This is an obvious rejection.
Xu Qichen didn't win the chance to apologize for himself, but if he apologized on WeChat, it would be too insincere.
So the next day, he mustered up the courage to go forward while Lin Ran was reading the script by himself.
"sorry."
Lin Ran looked up, "Why?"
Xu Qichen was silent, so he didn't know the truth, he just felt that it must be his fault.
After waiting for a long time, Lin Ran lowered his head, "I should apologize. I have done too many things to you, sorry."
Before Xu Qichen could speak, Lin Ran stood up and walked away.
Failed again.
That's right, he had already seen Lin Ran's abnormality.
But he was even more afraid, and only after he explained it clearly did he realize that this was Lin Ran's normal state.
All the previous things were just a temporary effect of novelty.
Anyway, this isn't the first time this has happened.
This stalemate persisted until the day of his finale. Originally, the scene in the bar was arranged at the front, but because of a problem with the lease of the venue, this scene became Xu Qichen's finale scene.
In this scene, Yu Ning is drinking at the bar, dancing with the girls who strike up a conversation in the bar, and happens to be seen by Nan Ke who is having a party with his colleagues, so he has a part in the hotel scene later.
"The first time in the 97th match of "Nanke", let's start!"
Yuning sat at the bar: "A glass of dry Martini, thank you."
Just after taking a sip, a beautiful woman with a good figure appeared beside her, "Is your taste in drinking so conservative?"
With his chin resting on his hand, Yuning looked at the woman in front of him, she smiled, and said to the bartender, "B52 bomber."
Yuning laughed, and the woman asked back, "Together?"
"My pleasure."
The woman continued: "Two sets of B52."
Two rows of B52 bombers were set up, and the bartender lit them one by one, and the blue flames on the layered wine kept jumping.Yu Ning looked sideways at the person beside him, "Ladyfirst."
The other party picked up the short straw at hand and inserted it into the cup. Just as he was about to lower his head, the straw caught fire.
"CUT!"
The actress immediately threw the straw on the ground, stepped on it a few times, and apologized repeatedly.
"It's okay, I also find this very difficult." Xu Qichen comforted.
The deity who plays the role of the bartender is a professional bartender. He once again emphasized, "You must drink quickly, don't be afraid. Or don't use a straw, put out the fire with a lemon slice and wipe the rim of the glass, Drink it in one gulp."
This wine still has a certain degree of alcohol, so they only took one or two shots of drinking it, and the rest depended on editing.
"One more!"
"The second time in the 97th match of "Nanke"! Start!"
With a snap, a smile appeared on Yu Ning's face: "ladyfirst."
The woman inserted the straw into the bottom of the cup and drank it quickly, "It's your turn."
Yuning picked up a slice of lemon, raised his head and drank it as soon as the fire was extinguished, and then put the cup back to its original place.
"Okay, this time it's fine."
After several shots of the bar, the two actors were about to move to the dance floor.
"May I borrow a seat for the kiss scene later?" Xu Qichen asked Director Chen.
Chen Anping was puzzled: "You kissed male celebrities for real, and you have to borrow seats with actresses."
Xu Qichen twitched the corner of his mouth in embarrassment.
Considering Ji Mengze's career and fanatical fans, Chen Anping still agreed, "All right, you can put your thumb on her mouth later."
"Nan Ke! Nan Ke and Gina can sit by now."
When everything was ready, Xu Qichen put his arms around the actress's waist. The actress was wearing a backless dress, and there was an inescapable discomfort when his fingers touched the skin.
"The first time in the 98th match of "Nanke"!"
On the dance floor, under the dizzying lights, Yu Ning and a woman embraced each other intimately, swaying their bodies wantonly with the music.
"Nanke."
Nan Ke withdrew his gaze, and Gina, who was sitting next to him, smiled and asked, "What are you looking at, do you know anyone?"
Nan Ke shook his head, "I got it wrong."
Waiter: "Hi, wine for you two."
"Thank you." Gina moved the wine to Nan Ke, but accidentally knocked it over, and the blue cocktail dripped down the table onto Nan Ke's pants. Gina said sorry in a panic, and took out a tissue from her bag to replace him. Wipe, "It's okay, it's okay." Nan Ke lowered his head and reached out to stop him.
This kind of movement, under the distortion of the light and angle, turned into an extremely ambiguous posture.
Yu Ning had a panoramic view, tightly hugged the woman's hand, the two were almost stuck together, he stretched out his hand and gently stroked the other's cheek, then lowered his head and kissed her, but his eyes drifted to a dark corner not far away, Until he met the sight of Nan Ke who raised his head.
A seductive and aggressive look.
It's as if the character he plays is also a hunter.
Again the prey itself.
Seeing Nan Ke staring at him motionlessly, but never leaving that position, Yu Ning ended the long kiss, and frivolously dragged his female partner's hand back to the bar.
"CUT! This one is over!"
The photographer sighed to Chen Anping, "Yu Ning's eyes just now are incredible."
Chen Anping nodded and hummed.
Xu Qichen let go of the actress' hand, the other's face was a little shy, and he politely stepped back a little.
Just now seeing Lin Ran overlapping with the actress who played Gina, the scene of Lin Ran talking and laughing with another girl that afternoon flashed through his mind.
There are countless pictures of Lin Ran ignoring him.
There was an inexplicable fire in my chest, and I didn't feel like myself anymore.
I thought that Huang Shen would be NG just now, but I didn't expect it, it's really strange.
Being called by the stylist to touch up his drunk makeup, Xu Qichen stopped thinking about it.
The bar was too noisy, the bass of the music made the heart tremble, and the glass of wine he drank just now had some reactions. Xu Qichen laughed at himself. For non-professionals like him, alcohol has become a catalyst for acting.
In other words, a catalyst for emotions.
"The second time in the 99th match of "Nanke"! Start!"
The two continued to drink and chat, and the ambiguous distance became closer and closer until they fell drunk in each other's arms.
Falling into the arms of the actress, Xu Qichen added it temporarily.
Nan Ke held the cup tighter and tighter, and finally said to Gina, "Sorry, I still have something to do, let's break up today."
"You go home early, I'll pay the bill."
Ignoring Gina's obvious disappointment, Nan Ke got up and left this embarrassing position, went straight to the bar, and dragged the drunk man out of the woman's arms.
"Sorry, I took this person back first."
"Huh?" Yuning, who was forcibly pulled out, couldn't stand still, with a hint of confusion on his face.
But the woman in front of her didn't mean to let him go directly, "Who are you, and what is your relationship with him?"
"It has nothing to do with you." Nan Ke's expression was rather ugly.
The woman cursed and left with her bag.
Yuning lay on Nan Ke's shoulder, squinted his eyes and looked carefully for a long time, then called out his name, "Nan Ke?"
Nan Ke set him up, but was thrown away by the opponent.
"Let go of me..." Yu Ning supported the bar, "You ruined my good deed..."
Nan Ke became even more angry, and grabbed his wrist, "Your good thing? Is it your pleasure to sleep with strangers every day?"
Lin Ran's strength was stronger than he had imagined, Xu Qichen frowned in pain, trying to break free, but the other party grabbed both arms at the same time.
"what are you doing!"
The confusion, grievance, entanglement and depression of several consecutive days were all released at this moment.
"You don't care what I do! Ah?!" With all his strength, he pulled out his hand, "Just walk away, ignore me, treat me like air, aren't you the best at these things!"
Alcohol and emotions drained his strength, Xu Qichen's body slipped along the bar and fell to the ground.
"What position do you have...interfering with me..."
Many of the lines were not the original lines, Lin Ran looked down at him who was muttering to himself and cried, and clenched his fists tightly.
Xu Qichen supported the ground with one hand, grabbed the chair beside him with the other and sat up awkwardly. He realized that he had made a mistake, but the director didn't stop, so he could only bite the bullet and continue the original lines. .
"You drove my bedmate away tonight."
Leaning on the bar with his head sideways, he pointed to the dance floor and smiled innocently.
"You go... find someone who will compensate me... someone who is prettier than you, gentler than you..."
After saying this, he buried his head in his arms like a child, and spoke drunkenly in French in a muffled voice.
Lin Ran stood there for a while, but still stepped forward to help him up, he seemed to have lost the consciousness of resistance, and collapsed limply, almost unable to walk, he could only half-squat down to support his arms He wrapped his arms around his neck, carried him on his back, walked out of the noisy bar step by step, and the long shot finally ended.
"CUT! It's done!"
Xu Qichen got off Lin Ran's back, his feet were a little weak, he almost fell down, but managed to stop.
Lin Ran glanced back, then turned his head quickly.
The staff rushed up, and Xu Qichen saw Li Yun's figure, holding a bouquet of flowers in her hand.
"Congratulations to Mengze for finishing!"
Is that the end?Without the slightest sense of reality.
Li Yun stepped forward and handed him the flowers, "You must be very tired."
Xu Qichen raised his hand to wipe away the tears he shed while acting, took the bouquet, and whispered thank you.Then bow to the staff one by one.
"It's been hard work, everyone has worked hard, thank you for taking care of me for so many days."
When he walked in front of Chen Anping, the other party opened his arms first, Xu Qichen froze for a moment, and then hugged him.
"Thank you Director Chen, you really helped me a lot and taught me a lot."
Chen Anping patted him on the back, "It's his luck that this character didn't miss you."
Surrounded by a group of staff, Xu Qichen thought Lin Ran had left long ago, but he was still there, looking at him from a distance of several meters.
After struggling for a while, Xu Qichen walked over.
"Thank you, I have dragged you down a lot in the past two months, and you still worked hard to lead me, otherwise I'm afraid I wouldn't have finished so quickly..."
His voice was getting lower and lower.
Until she was suddenly hugged by Lin Ran, it was a very short and safe hug.
"You're welcome."
Then he let go, leaving him standing in place holding a bouquet of flowers.
It felt like after this hug, there was a hole in his left atrium, which had been agitated for a long time and finally completely separated from his body, and went where it wanted to go.
It hurts.
Xu Qichen didn't remember how he attended the wrap-up banquet, what he said and what he did at that time, only Lin Ran's polite and unfamiliar politeness was in his mind.
Did he say something wrong?
Or did something wrong?
He asked in his heart: "0901, does Lin Ran like me?"
0901: "Mr. Xu, as I said, this is a foul."
"Does Lin Ran like me?"
0901: "Mr. Xu, I have no authority to tell you..."
"Does he like me?"
0901: "Mr. Xu, you can only..."
"Does he like me? Does Lin Ran like me?"
0901: "Mr. Xu, as an AI, I don't understand human emotions, and I can't comfort you from the perspective of empathy. But in essence, the development of anything is a spiral process, and there will inevitably be tortuous."
Xu Qichen lowered his head and smiled wryly, "I didn't expect artificial intelligence to study philosophy."
0901 ignored his teasing: "So Mr. Xu, I think you are now standing before the critical point of qualitative change."
Does this mean to tell him not to give up?
After wrapping up, he left the film crew, but he didn't completely leave the lives of Yuning and Nan Ke. In the next week, he still needs to enter the studio to complete the recording of Yuning's chanting in the film.
After the end, even if Ji Mengze's career is really back on track, the life of an idol is even more difficult than that of the crew, practicing the dances and songs of the new album day and night, and flying around the world to shoot MVs , Shoot magazines and record programs, so busy that I only sleep three or four hours a day.
It was only after practicing it that I discovered that idols who have been criticized by everyone are not so easy to do.
Even so, when his name appeared on Weibo, the voice of abuse still did not decrease.
Bai Yi bumped into Ming Qi's arm, "Captain, don't you think Mengze looks different after he comes back from the play?"
The captain nodded, "It's completely in a state of working hard, and the whole person is about to become a robot."
Mechanically exposed to various cameras and lights every day, surrounded by countless fans, Xu Qichen's body and mind became more and more numb.
In the blink of an eye, half of autumn has passed.
After the release of the new album, he became even busier, playing songs on various variety shows, participating in signing parties in various places, and flying around every day.
Even for the main task, he must treat his work with the most serious attitude.
This kind of life made Xu Qichen feel at ease, like an ostrich, burying his head in endless fatigue, making himself unable to relax and think about too many other things.
At the beginning of November, Li Yun told him that "Nanke" was about to enter the promotion period.
Xu Qichen: "Is it so fast?"
He didn't even know how the past few months had passed.
Li Yun handed him a schedule, "The post-production of romantic literary films usually doesn't take too long. Originally, the start of this film was delayed due to casting, and the management wanted to set the file for Christmas. It’s not easy to do publicity.”
Xu Qichen nodded, and when he saw the word Nanke on the schedule, his chest felt tight. He thought that after such a long time, this feeling would almost disappear soon.
It's all delusions.
"The official should release the promotional posters first. It's all the promotion of the film studio. We don't need to ask too much. The main thing is that at the end of the month, we will join Lin Ran in some variety shows, and they will be aired on the eve of the movie's release to build momentum for the movie."
"Did Lin Ran agree?"
It was a little strange for Li Yun to hear Xu Qichen ask this question, "Why would you disagree? He is the first protagonist in this movie, so there is no reason not to promote his own movie." But Li Yun also noticed something, "When you were filming before The relationship is very good, I haven't seen the two of you interacting on Weibo recently."
Xu Qichen: "Because I've been very busy all the time, I seldom post on Weibo."
That's right, just after filming the filming, it was time to release the album. Jiang Ling, who has always been very resistant, complained for the first time that he couldn't bear such a high-intensity workload, but he didn't complain at all, and silently completed every task seriously.
I don't know whether it's an enlightenment or a dead end.
"In short, we need to work harder during the promotion period, and strive to earn back word of mouth and popularity through this movie." Li Yun patted Xu Qichen on the shoulder, "I believe in you."
Xu Qichen hummed.
Sure enough, on November 11, the official Weibo of "Nanke" began to release the first movie poster.
[Movie "Nanke"]: A youthful dream.
There is only one poster for the picture.
The design of the poster adopts the technique of double exposure. The main body is the profile of Nan Ke, and another picture is reflected in the position of the head, the blue coastline of Nice, and the backs of two teenagers one behind the other.
Xu Qichen stared at the poster for a while, and then prepared to forward it.
Not knowing what to send, Li Yun gave him a ready-made copy, but he felt that it was too hypocritical, so he clicked on a love emoji and forwarded it. Although there was no sincerity, it would not appear too positive.
Retweets and comments quickly piled up.
[Caring madman Ji Mengze]: Please read my ID silently.
【Did Mengmeng marry me today】: True Love Crazy Devil 2333
[Mengmeng Knock Meng]: Has the promotion finally started!So excited, hurry up and set the file!
Below the original blog's comments, more passers-by appeared.
[Lychee-flavored soda]: The poster looks so good, it's a refreshing summer breeze.
【Who said it wasn't】: The official blog promotes the film's aloofness, it's definitely following the director~
[Guji Guji]: Lin Ran's side profile is too pretty, the silhouette of the eyelashes is perfect!
Xu Qichen flipped through the comments, and accidentally clicked on the retweet column, and happened to see the latest retweet.
It's Lin Ran.
Send a heart.
In this way, two small red hearts echoed up and down in the first two hot forwards in the forwarding column, as if they had been agreed in advance.
[I'll carry the soft and cute flag]: Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, sisters!
[Soft cute girl]: Two caring madmen~
[Ruan Ruan Meng Meng]: official blog inner OS: the high-cold and aggressive character set that I finally got out was made sweet and greasy by the two of you, quit!
[Wang Xiaoer, a netizen who eats melons]: The two Weifans are vying to repost, and the two love ones on the top and the other on the top. It feels like they are fighting for offense and acceptance hahaha.
……
Seeing Lin Ran's love heart, Xu Qichen felt mixed feelings.
It's just business.
He explained in his heart, not knowing who to explain to.
After a week, the official blog of "Nanke" released the second poster, which also wrote four words coldly - Dream of Years.
The design of the poster is similar to the first one, it still shows Nan Ke's side face, reflecting the bizarre night scene of Shanghai, and Nan Ke's back walking on the street late at night with Yuning on his back.
The release of the two promotional posters triggered heated discussions among netizens about the plot of the movie. For a while, the word Nanke frequently appeared in hot searches on Weibo.
Although everyone in the company is very satisfied with the promotional effect of the film, Xu Qichen always feels uneasy in his heart. After all, the existence of Ji Mengze itself is a threat to many stars. How can competitors be willing to watch his new movie released instead of Make trouble.
Facts have proved that Xu Qichen's premonitions are always accurate.
When the end of the month was approaching, suddenly a few entertainment bloggers on Weibo started posting a collection of embarrassing scenes from Ji Mengze's previous bad movies.
[Entertainment Gossip Master]: Ji Mengze's new movie will be released soon. I don't know if his acting skills will improve.Review Ji Mengze's film and television works in the past few years and see if you can hold on for a few minutes.
The forwarded comments are almost all words that express embarrassment. If you look closely at the ID, you can find that many fans of other traffic niches are in the rhythm.
[Lonely Rebirth]: The plot and lines make my scalp tingle...
[Amnesia Butterfly]: jmz's acting skills are too overpowering, I dare not buy a ticket to see his movie, please let the famous director go.
[Sell melon seeds in the front row]: But at this point in time, it's obviously for jmz, and what if someone's acting skills improve?
[It's hard to live without wifi]: Progress?It's too easy to say, if you can improve so quickly, why do you need a professional film school, and jmz has no professional ethics at all, just to make money and accept bad movies.
[LuvMe]: After seeing it this way, I suddenly lost interest in that movie... But I always feel a little sorry for Lin Ran.
[Are you a devil]: Lin Ran is so pitiful, he has to bite the bullet and fire CP after being dragged down.
……
can not watch anymore.
Xu Qichen, who was still calm at first, couldn't help but feel bored when he saw the last few articles. He tried his best to adjust his mood until he calmed down again.
He made a phone call to Chen Anping, and the other party seemed to have expected to receive his call.
"You've seen the comments on the Internet, right?" Chen Anping said calmly, "Any thoughts?"
Xu Qichen hesitated for a moment, and said, "Director, don't take any actions to counter public opinion, and I won't speak out."
"Oh?" Chen Anping was a little surprised. He originally thought that the purpose of this call was to let him help change the public opinion atmosphere, release some tidbits or audition clips to fight back against these smears.
"Immediate response and public relations can reverse the public opinion." Xu Qichen paused, "But director, I want the effect of a Jedi counterattack."
"I've heard from Sister Yun that the movie may be scheduled for Christmas, so there's still nearly a month left. If possible, I want Director Chen to communicate with the producer and postpone the trailer to It will be released in mid-December, and we will hold back for two weeks and let public opinion ferment."
"Are you trying to create a contrast?"
"Yes." Xu Qichen continued, "The lower you are suppressed, the higher the public opinion will rebound."
Either don't turn over, turn over must be thorough.
To be honest, this method of public relations is not safe, but Chen Anping has confidence in the quality of his film, not to mention that he has already told people around him more than once that this kid will definitely have a big reputation after the film is released.
Because he is really amazing.
That being the case, might as well take advantage of these online public opinions.
In this way, Xu Qichen was scolded for two whole weeks, and then he hardly opened Weibo anymore.
On the afternoon of December 12th, several members came down from the company building together, preparing to go to the commercial shooting site.
In the evening is the press conference of "Nanke", and the schedule is very tight.
"The advertiser has already agreed to shorten the shooting time as much as possible, and the stylist will follow along. After a while, he will go directly to the press conference, and then he will participate in the recording of the rapid confrontation tomorrow morning. December 12 is Business show,..." Zhang Xiaoxiao followed Xu Qichen, reporting the itinerary, but as soon as he stepped out of the company's gate, he was pushed away abruptly.
Fans swarmed in, holding all kinds of gifts in their hands. Although the members were too crowded to walk, they still kept the smiles on their faces that are necessary for idols.
"Mengze Mengze, you have to work hard! Don't worry about the nonsense of those people on the Internet!"
Xu Qichen smiled and nodded, "Okay."
"Jiang Ling Jiang Ling! Ah, I can feel Jiang Ling's muscles!"
"Shen Huan! Shen Huan, I love you!!"
"The team looks so good today!"
"Bai Yi! Mom loves you!"
Laughter erupted from the crowd.
A thin girl with a short head and a hat and mask was squeezed in front of Xu Qichen, staggered and almost fell, Xu Qichen held her arm, "It's all right."
The girl shook her head, and when Xu Qichen smiled at her, she raised her hand.
It was too late to see what she was holding in her hand.
A strong burning sensation has eroded his left eye instantly.
The crowd was still bustling, and it wasn't until Xu Qichen covered his eyes and squatted on the ground that someone realized something was wrong. The severe pain and high fever that continued to spread in his eyeballs made his consciousness begin to slacken, and tears poured out physiologically.
"What happened to Mengze! Mengze!"
"Get out of the way!" A few teammates reacted, brushed aside the panicked fans, and helped Xu Qichen up.
A sudden disaster disrupted all plans, and Xu Qichen, who was sent to the hospital for emergency treatment, could only miss the subsequent commercials and the press conference of "Nanke".
"The current black fans are simply lawless, they dare to go to the door of the company to do such a thing!"
Xu Qichen was lying on the hospital bed with his eyes closed, when he heard Li Yun's furious voice outside the door.
"Be sure to catch me, this is a crime!"
After being sent to the hospital, I found out that I was sprayed with pepper water. The doctor washed it with lotion for a long time. The burning sensation was much less than before, but it was still very painful. I reached out and touched my left eye, and I could only touch it. to a thick layer of gauze.
The sound outside became quieter, and Xu Qichen heard the sound of the door being pushed open.
"Is it better?" Li Yun's voice softened, as if the person who got angry outside just now was not her.
Xu Qichen hummed.
"We have already called the police," Li Yun sighed. "I didn't expect this kind of thing to happen downstairs in the company. I should have arranged for some bodyguards to take you downstairs."
"Fortunately, the doctor said that the concentration of the chili water is not very high, and it should not have a bad effect on the cornea."
Li Yun: "Don't go to tomorrow's reality show."
"No." Xu Qichen flatly refused, "Tomorrow I have to promote the movie, so I have to go."
"It's not like you don't know, that reality show is full of running and jumping, all kinds of sports, and sometimes you have to go into the water, how can you go like this."
Xu Qichen propped himself up with his hands and sat up, "It's okay. The program team will definitely take care of me when they know my situation. My absence from the press conference tonight has already caused a big impact. I must attend tomorrow's program."
Seeing Xu Qichen's insistence, Li Yun didn't say anything more, but just patted him on the shoulder, "Then I'll go talk to the program team, since your matter has already been in the news, they are probably quite anxious."
Xu Qichen hummed and watched Li Yun leave.His eyes were still hurting, and he said his decision to go on the show as usual without thinking about it just now, but now that he thinks about it, it seems to be selfish.
The entrance of the hospital was full of reporters, so Xu Qichen had no choice but to leave through the back door.
As expected, hot words such as [Ji Mengze was attacked by black fans], [Ji Mengze left eye was injured], [Ji Mengze was absent from the press conference] and [Nanke] were airborne and hot searched, and several topics exploded.
This made the film reach unprecedented popularity, even surpassing the initial casting controversy.
Although there are still discordant voices, most netizens stand in a positive position and condemn malicious acts of hurting people.
On the afternoon of the second day, Xu Qichen appeared at the scene of the rapid confrontation recording. The staff were very impressed. In their view, Ji Mengze's traffic was very precious. Being sprayed with pepper water in the eyes was not a trivial matter. Think about going to work the next day.
Xu Qichen's hair was dyed back to dark brown because of the promotional movie. The stylist gave it a blow-dry style. Shunmao looked very obedient. Then he added a black monocular eye patch to the eyes covered with gauze and tied it at the back of his head.
"It can also avoid light, and it looks better than gauze."
"Thank you."
There are two main MCs for the show, one is the well-known host Yang Cheng, the other is the comedian Zhao Qi, and the other two regular MCs are all actors. Including Lin Ran and Xu Qichen as two guests, the total There are six people.
This is an outdoor reality show with very high ratings. The director team will arrange challenges according to the theme of each episode. Guests and MCs will be divided into two groups to compete physically and mentally.
The director's team arranged for him to enter the scene last, and Xu Qichen waited on the sidelines, and only walked over after the director's team informed him to follow up with his camera.
Lin Ran, who was pretending to be chatting with a few regular MCs, saw Xu Qichen come in, and as expected, his heart twitched hard.
He was wearing a gray woolen coat with a black turtleneck sweater inside. The black eyepatch covered his left eye, making his skin very pale. When he approached, he bent down repeatedly, bowing and smiling at all the guests present.
Lin Ran realized that he was also looking at himself.
But why, he would show such a look.
It's like a stray cat that has gone through untold hardships and finally returned to its owner.
