After gaining some weight, Jiang Se's cheeks became much fuller than before. Also, the crew took some time to reshoot Jiang Se's early scenes with Zhang Yuqin, the actor who played Zhuzhu in "The Devil".
The process of gaining weight is no easier than losing weight. Jiang Se even feels it is much more difficult. He can no longer be picky about what he likes or dislikes to eat and has to follow the recipes completely.
With Zhao Rang keeping a close eye on Jiang Se's weight and appearance, as the promotion period for "About I Love You" approached, Jiang Se's weight finally returned to 52 kilograms. Although she was still a few pounds thinner than before, compared to her emaciated appearance during the filming of "Devil", it was undoubtedly much better.
The promotion of "About I Love You" this time had been discussed with Xia Chaoqun long time in advance, and it was necessary to travel around the country. As early as the beginning of the release, the distributor had made sufficient preparations. First, major media tried their best to hype the movie "About I Love You", but the crew members, whether it was Zhao Rang or the male lead Hang Yuyi, maintained an unusually low-key behavior.
On the Internet and major media, no one was talking about the plot of "About I Love You" and pretended to keep it secret, which whetted everyone's appetite.
Zhao Rang is also an expert in marketing, not inferior to Lin Xiwen of Shangjia Company. This move of his quickly aroused the curiosity of the public. As everyone knows that major media outlets could not get the stills of "About I Love You" and the crew did not even release the trailer in advance, the curiosity of many people has been aroused.
Zhao Rang is well aware of the psychology of most movie fans. People are like this: the less you show me something, the more I want to see it.
As expected, as major media outlets continued to hype the confidentiality of the production crew of "About I Love You", the discussion of "About I Love You" skyrocketed.
While the topic was hot, many netizens were feeling anxious, and two authoritative media outlets, China News and Times Entertainment, simultaneously released a large number of fresh stills on their major media websites.
As Xia Chaoqun said, Jiang Se's looks are very suitable for shooting such a fresh love film, and her face fits the image of most men's dream lover.
When the media released those beautiful and fresh stills, not only boys felt their hearts beating fast, but many girls were also attracted by the heroine Zhou Wei, played by Jiang Se in the movie clips.
Her makeup was not heavy, and her clothes were very ordinary, and she tried to keep her style simple.
A few frames of her wearing a white shirt and a long skirt, clean and clear, were reposted by many fashion bloggers.
The hype had already been strong, and once the two media outlets released these stills, it quickly caused a sensation, satisfied everyone's curiosity, and the topic of "About I Love You" continued to rise.
But the actions of the two media outlets seemed to anger Zhao Rang, who publicly "condemned" the action on Weibo.
Zhao Rang's quarrel with the media occupied the headlines for several days. Even many people who had not paid attention to love movies like "About I Love You" learned from this quarrel that "About I Love You" would be released at the Universal Cinema Center in Beijing on September 29.
This series of topics also attracted a lot of attention when the crew was promoting the show across the country.
Wherever he went, someone would always mention the "film leak". Zhao Rang had "declared war" with the two major domestic media at the same time. From mid-September to late September, "About I Love You" was in the news headlines almost every day.
The few stills that were leaked also brought about another wave of discussion about Jiang Se. Compared with Doukou in "Beijing Events", these stills of her are beautiful in a different way.
The success of this marketing technique led to a ticket rush for "About I Love You" the day before its release.
On the evening of the 28th, the distributor invited major domestic media personnel and well-known film critics to attend the premiere of "About I Love You".
By this time, Jiang Se had increased his weight to 53 kilograms. Compared with his previous skinny appearance, he was like a completely different person.
She was wearing a dark blue embroidered silk dress with suspenders and a diamond bracelet on her upper arm provided by Honghua. When she appeared at the premiere, Tao Tao, who had been promoted to a formal reporter in the Longxing Studio, breathed a sigh of relief when she saw her.
Although major media outlets had taken photos of Yase during the promotional activities for "Caring", she looked thin in the photos, but she looked much better than when Tao Tao interviewed her privately before.
However, Tao Tao was still quite worried before she saw her true self.
Because Jiang Se agreed to Tao Tao's interview request, the boss of Longxing Studio generously promoted Tao Tao. Now she is also an independent reporter under the studio.
For this premiere, the boss knew that Tao Tao was a fan of Jiang Se, so he specifically assigned this interview assignment to her, also intending to enable his reporters to build good relationships with Jiang Se or people around her.
In the past two years, Jiang Se's resources and fame have grown, and every movie he has starred in has had good box office and reputation.
From her path into the industry, we can see that she is getting better and better and is unstoppable.
In the original "Fake It Comes True", she was just a supporting role with lines. It was rumored in the industry that her pay at the time was around several thousand yuan.
Now she is getting better and better, and she is even working with Liu Ye on a new play.
Even if her performance is mediocre, just being associated with the name Liu Ye is enough to raise her status. It will not be bad for the future of Longxing Studio if Tao Tao establishes a good relationship with her.
"About My Love for You" has been gaining momentum recently, but the media on the scene seemed to be more interested in the collaboration between Jiang Se and Liu Ye, which made Hang Yuyi, the male lead in "About My Love for You", a little embarrassed.
More than two years ago, when he was filming "Fake It", he was still a well-known young actor in the industry with a large number of fans. Jiang Se played a stewardess who didn't even have a name in the play and didn't have many lines.
But two years later, although he was still nominally the male lead in "Caring", he was actually playing supporting roles to Jiang Se in the movie.
His role was far less than Jiang Se's, but he didn't even have the qualifications to protest.
Jiang Se's new play is already a collaboration with Liu Ye, and he can no longer compare to it. Because of Jiang Se's fame and the hype of the crew, this film has increased its popularity. Major theaters are also very interested in Jiang Se's work. When scheduling the film, the scheduling rate of "Care" reached 7%, and the first-day pre-sale box office has reached 160 million.
This also led to his current awkward position. Jiang Se improved too fast, so before the film was released, his agent originally intended to propose to the crew to hype up a scandal with Jiang Se to increase his popularity, but was rejected by the crew and Zhao Rang and others. (To be continued)
