half year later
When Shen Xingsui came out of the recording hall, the weather had already turned cold.
He was standing downstairs in a cotton-padded jacket, and the icy cold wind was blowing through the hall. The coolness brought by it made people shiver all over. He let out a long breath, and the mist dispersed in the air, leaving behind wisp of mist.
Cancan came from behind and said, "It will snow in a few days."
"This year has passed so quickly." Shen Xingsui smiled and said, "Last year's Chinese New Year seemed to be right in front of us."
Cancan also nodded.
During the Chinese New Year last year, Shen Xingsui was still filming "Starlight". At that time, An Ran and Jian Zhi hadn't left the circle yet, and Shen Xingsui and Fu Jinxiao's relationship was not that good. It's just been a whole year, and nothing seems to have changed. , It seems that many things have changed.
Cancan said softly: "The days will always get better and better."
Shen Xingsui got into the car: "I hope so."
"I haven't had a lot of rest this year, but during the Chinese New Year, the movie will be released. I'm afraid I have to run around for publicity, so I can't rest." Cancan looked at their schedule: "It's hard work."
Shen Xingsui also took a look at the schedule, and replied, "It's okay, I'm busy, isn't Teacher Fu busy too?"
Cancan nodded in empathy and said, "Isn't that right? Mr. Fu is really a busy man. He has been busy for the past few years, and he has been so busy this year. He hasn't had much rest."
Even the rest some time ago was still forced by Shen Xingsui.
The publicity and distribution of the film's release was very fast and intensive, because Shen Xingsui and Fu Jinxiao invested, so the main publicity work was taken over by their own entertainment company. They have a very mature publicity and distribution, and the movie was very popular during the pre-order period Yes, but apart from Fu Jinxiao, who is a well-known actor, the other people who are paired with him are all newcomers in the entertainment industry, and the audience's response is not enthusiastic:
"Ms. Fu is bringing in newcomers?"
"Except Teacher Fu, no one else is interested at all."
"Why is this team?"
"Doesn't Mr. Fu have a lot of resources for big movies?"
Judging from the external market evaluation, the audience's comprehensive evaluation of this movie is not very optimistic.
Especially when it was discovered that Shen Xingsui was another leading actor and that this was a danmei movie, the overall mainstream market did not have a high opinion of this movie.
Shen Xingsui was a little nervous.
He has never tried to make a movie before. It is the first time in his life. He is afraid that this film will hit the street. It is fine for him to hit the street. If Fu Jinxiao is involved, then he is really to blame. He is watching While evaluating online, he received a call from Fu Jinxiao.
After answering the phone, a man's voice came from the other end of the phone: "Why haven't you answered for so long?"
"Huh?" Shen Xingsui quickly replied softly, "No, I'm just reading reviews about movies on the Internet."
"Look at what those are doing." Fu Jinxiao didn't have so much pressure, his voice should be just after taking a shower, he sat in front of the automatic hair dryer, and said slowly: "It's difficult to agree with everyone, you will never be able to satisfy 100% of people."
Shen Xingsui said softly, "Mmm..."
Fu Jinxiao heard his depression, and smiled: "Is Mr. Shen so unconfident in himself?"
"That's not true." Shen Xingsui wanted to refute, but felt lonely again: "I'm afraid that if the movie gets a bad reputation after it's released, it will hurt you..."
Fu Jinxiao raised his eyebrows, but was a little surprised by this answer.
In fact, from the few months when the movie was about to be released, he had noticed that Shen Xingsui was depressed. He thought it was because of fear and timidity, but unexpectedly, it was because of this reason.
"It doesn't matter if it's word of mouth or the box office." Fu Jinxiao sighed slightly, and his voice was a little indifferent, he just chuckled and said, "It's not like I haven't rushed."
Shen Xingsui was surprised.
Anyway, from the time he paid attention to Fu Jinxiao, he learned that there are basically no movies that don't hit the street.
Fu Jinxiao seemed to know what he was thinking, and said slowly: "Sometimes what you see is not necessarily all. Many movies can never be broadcast because they haven't passed the review or because of co-stars. The data box office is very poor, in fact, the management itself went to control the ticket to boost the box office, in order to make the data look good."
"Oh, and in the early years, because of poor acting skills or various reasons, I was criticized by many directors and audiences." Fu Jinxiao told the difficulty of these years in a very light tone: "Many things may Its appearance is bright and beautiful, but every year, no matter how beautiful the flowers are, its roots are still rooted in the mud."
Shen Xingsui felt as if he suddenly relaxed, and he understood a lot, chuckled and said, "So is everyone at risk of failure?"
Listening to the lover's voice on the other end of the phone, Fu Jinxiao said in a low voice, "There will be."
Shen Xingsui's eyebrows and eyes are much gentler.
"but… "
He heard Fu Jinxiao's slow chuckle on the other end of the phone again, some domineering, yet inexplicably calming words: "With me here, this risk can be reduced to a minimum."
Shen Xingsui's eyes widened a little, and the restlessness in his heart seemed to be washed away at this moment.
Fu Jinxiao said softly, "Don't you believe me?"
"I believe it." Shen Xingsui answered with certainty this time, his brows and eyes were stained with some gentle smiles: "I believe in you more than I believe in myself."
…
The new year is approaching, and the big movies in the new year are released.
"Lonely City", as a movie that was not favored by the outside world, broke through the siege. At the beginning, many people did not like this movie because of too many newcomers, but after the first batch of audiences finished watching the movie, online A series of favorable comments about Gucheng began to sweep:
"It was made with great care."
"The funds were not spent on the actors, but on the production itself."
"When Fang Zhiwen died, I cried to death."
"Bring more paper to the movies!"
"Best movie I've seen this year."
The rave reviews swept all major platforms, and many people began to promote it. Whether it is Douban with a score of 9.7, Tao Piao Piao and various online ticketing platforms, "Lonely City" has achieved all-round praise.
Of course, as the praises come one after another, there is also controversy on the Internet. After watching it, some viewers naturally want to sell CP. A large number of groups have started to produce their own food. The names of Tonight and Shen Xingsui appear together frequently, from a role in the plot to a real person:
"Sui Sui's acting skills are not bad."
"And the daily life between him and Mr. Fu's crew is so sweet."
"Teacher and student must be true."
"Fang Zhiwen's forbearing and deep love for Xu Jie made me cry repeatedly."
"Hurry up and get together, these two!"
Because of the mass appearance of CP girls, it also caused dissatisfaction among many people, especially the fans of Fu Jinxiao who are even more resentful. They hate malicious bundling and hype, especially when the script characters rise to real people I hate it, so I launched a counterattack against cp fans:
"Knock the cp and knock it, and the facial features of a real person."
"I really hate gays, I don't even watch movies."
"Together? Is Shen Xingsui worthy of Mr. Fu?"
"I hope the movie is a movie, so hurry up and untie the bundle!"
Many fans, including Fu Jinxiao's Chaohua, were protesting against the bundling and hype, and some even started to attack Shen Xingsui himself, stamping all kinds of hype and scheming, and the resistance reached its peak.
Even Fu Jinxiao's official studio Weibo has received a large number of private messages and complaints, demanding to untie the bond, and to restore the artist's clean image, and even the same-sex seal should not exist.
…
The scene of the movie promotion meeting
Many of the leading actors and guests of "Lonely City" were all present. Today is a big media conference. Because the box office of "Lonely City" is very good, there are a lot of media here.
The dressing room in the backstage is also very lively.
The planner has been discussing the process with Shen Xingsui, and he may have to face the questions of the press conference later, and gave him a draft to teach him what to say later.
on the other side
On the way to the conference site, in a nanny car, the atmosphere was a bit dignified.
Wang Meican was also very helpless after watching it: "I didn't expect the audience to accept other people's cp, but the bondage between you and Sui Sui is so unbearable. This time is actually a test of the waters, to see how the audience accepts the relationship between the two of you. It’s hard to imagine such resistance.”
In the car, some netizens on Fu Jinxiao's platform commented that his face was frosty.
The man sat there with his gaze downcast. It was obvious that he was in a bad mood. After hearing what the manager said, he sneered, raised his eyelids and said, "What are you going to do?"
"I talked with Sui Sui two days ago. That kid was also very sad about this kind of thing, but he cared more about your image and influence, so he said that in the future, he would reduce marketing and publicity in this area, and he also kept Keep a low profile and try to be careful not to be photographed by the media." Wang Meican sighed: "Sui Sui is too sensible, and usually won't make trouble when he is wronged, but at this time, he is still thinking about you."
Fu Jinxiao frowned slightly: "Did he say that?"
Wang Meican nodded: "This seems to be the best way now, since Sui Sui is willing to deal with it in a low-key manner, at least calm down the anger of some fans..."
Fu Jinxiao sneered.
Looking at his cold gaze, Wang Meican suddenly had an ominous premonition in her heart.
"Could it be that blindly deceiving and concealing is a satisfactory answer for fans?" Fu Jinxiao threw the tablet aside, and said slowly: "On the surface, it is not worthy of trust to advertise that you are single to attract fans who consume traffic. Letting one's lover see the light of day and being bullied by the Internet is also not fulfilling a man's responsibility."
There was a faint smile on Fu Jinxiao's face: "Sister Wang, do you think this is right?"
Wang Meican was hit by Fu Jinxiao's words. She wanted to say that many artists do this, but when she looked at Fu Jinxiao's bright and upright eyes, she felt that she couldn't say anything to refute. Some people hide and consume for the sake of traffic. Fans, some people choose to stand on the cusp of the storm, even if the consequences they bear may plummet.
Wang Meican chuckled and said: "There may be serious consequences in the future. Sui Sui is a newcomer, but there is no fan collapse. Your accumulation in the entertainment industry for decades may cause you to step down from the altar, so this is not impulsive. A decision that can be made, even so, is it worth it?"
Fu Jinxiao curled his lips: "I will not hesitate."
