Although she didn't have a particularly detailed prediction about the future, she already had a plan. It's not even possible for her to act in the same type of work just to please her fans. She always chooses works only based on the script, the characters, whether the logic is self-consistent, and whether the relationship is tenable.
She just felt a little emotional that she had not enjoyed this feeling of being surrounded by love for too long. Although she knew that feeling this way too much would make her feel elated, she still... was very grateful for their love.

Nanyang ran around, and Java originally wanted to contact them, but unfortunately, they didn't make an appointment in advance, and Xia Siyu didn't have time to go with them, so they had to go separate ways.
While running this lap, Boyan also had in-depth contact with Director Ji and his wife. Although it is a little late to talk about overseas distribution now, and it is not possible to get a particularly good location in the theater. However, Bo Yan offered more profit from this release, and Director Ji was also a little interested, so he tried his best to talk about it.
Riding on the popularity of "The Catcher", there is another new movie by Xia Siyu. Indeed, theaters in Nanyang are also quite excited. Especially at this time, there are not many Hollywood blockbusters, so the schedule can be kept open.
The last chance we got was that "Sunrise" would be released overseas for a few days, but would be released in dozens of times more theaters than at the beginning. As long as the film schedule is guaranteed, "Sunrise" should be able to collect a lot of box office as long as it is not too crotch-inducing.
After talking about this, the two people have returned home. However, it was doing well overseas, but at home, it was shunned by another youth campus film company.
The distributor of that movie is the largest media company in the country, and one of the investors is the largest theater chain in the country, which can guarantee the amount of films arranged by its own theater chain. The two people who made the movie were idols from the talent show that had just become popular among the people. They had many fans, and each of them clamored to contribute to the box office of their brother and sister's first screen debut.
Although "Sunrise" was preceded by "Catcher" and its pre-sales increased, it was not as good as this youth campus movie, which already had pre-sales of 200 million.
Judging from the current pre-sales, this campus film has already paid back its money. Even if it doesn't make a dime at the box office in the future, it will still be profitable. The film crew even started preparing for a celebration party, and they were enemies when it was released at the same time. They began to ridicule the low pre-sales of "Sunrise" and clamored for "God of Slaughter" - for new idols, Xia Siyu and Bo Yan can indeed be called is God.
Their box office is higher than each other, which is enough to prove their strength.
Moreover, when he and Xia Siyu went to Nanyang, many forums also started to warm up, and began to secretly pour dirty water on "Sunrise". For example, rediscovering all kinds of dirty information about Xia Siyu. There are also her previous scandals, and ridiculing her and Bo Yan will not last long. She is not a woman who lives a stable life at all! And talking about Li Yiru in "Sunrise", this guy also had some scandalous information about being a sugar daddy before, and he was ridiculed in various ways in order to gain a higher position.
There is another assistant director who was exposed for cheating on someone and sleeping with an internet celebrity, and bad movies should be boycotted. Another thing is to call on those viewers who have watched "The God of Catch" not to support Xia Siyu's new movie. Why, because this movie is not about a handsome sister, but a kept canary, a charming fallen woman. Watching "Sunrise" will ruin their impression of watching "Catcher."
Anyway, regardless of whether it's true or not, Chen Guzi is still rotten sesame. As long as it disgusts the audience, it can be turned out and said.
It's a war of public opinion. However, some news can really affect the audience. For example, when the assistant director cheated on him and slept with an internet celebrity, many people forced Bo Yan, the director and the lead actor, to respond. After all, he was the assistant director's friend.
For example, Xia Siyu's image this time is that of a canary, which does not fit the heroic image in "The God of Catch". For fear of being exposed, many viewers who watched the movie really planned to wait a little longer before going. I'm afraid that I won't be able to perform.
Bo Yan and Xia Siyu couldn't resist this kind of dirty water in person. Sometimes public opinion is really weird. The more you care about something, if the right person personally goes away, many viewers will have a rebellious mentality. But it's not Bo Yan's personality to just ignore it and watch the other party blackmail him.
There is no airtight wall in the entertainment industry. Even if he and Xia Siyu were well hidden, paparazzi were still watching them back then. This pair of idols is even more so. He went to Qin Mimi to search, and sure enough he found out that the male protagonist of that movie had a date with P's fan during the talent show. If the other party continued to make various provocations, he wouldn't mind making the fans collapse faster.
However, the first thing they did when they came back was that the screening of "Sunrise" started.
"Sunrise" is Cao Yu's classic play, and there have been movies and TV shows of the same name before. Although Boyan is considered a remake, it actually does not refer to the previous plot. There wasn’t even any reference to the plays they had performed before. In order to suit Valentine's Day, he did change the script to be more pure love. Some characters were chosen and some details were added appropriately. For example, the character of Li Yiru is a fusion of a bad guy and a good guy. The characters are no longer labeled. It's more three-dimensional.
Especially the banker who was the financial backer of the heroine in the original work, he simply deleted it and used it as a mere background board, and also made some changes to his relationship with the heroine. There is no longer a physical relationship between the two people, but they just use the heroine's all-around skills to do things and settle business transactions.
The relationship between the male and female protagonists is also written in a more profound way. As an easter egg, there is even a possibility that the female protagonist attempted suicide in the end and was rescued by the male protagonist. The male protagonist is not like the idealistic but powerless scholar in the original work, and his character is a little more complicated.
There is even a few words about the heroine’s family of origin as a supplement outside the play.
Although Xia Siyu and Boyan had both watched the movie before, they had also watched it internally, and had given their opinions to Teacher Yu Fenfei, and the conclusions they drew were pretty good. But at the screening, he really wanted to know what the audience's reaction was when they saw this movie.
Sitting in the front row of a screening room and watching a movie he shot and directed for an hour and a half was the most enjoyable time for Bo Yan. After the movie ended, he and several of the main creators went on stage, hoping for opinions from the media and audience present.
He should have been very nervous before, but after watching the movie, he felt less nervous.
In other words, although this movie is not a showcase of his full strength, he is filming it very seriously and the actors are also working hard. Even if he does not do well, it is because he has no talent and cannot blame others.
