Topic: Breaking News, Xia Yitong has taken on a new drama, "Love at First Sight", what do you think

1l: The title sounds like a romance movie [holding his chin]

2l: Romance film, domestic [smile]

3l: Haha.

4l: Hehe 1

5l: As a fan, I really want to hold her shoulders and control the water in her brain.

6l: A typical example of playing a good hand of cards badly.

7l: I don’t understand why you would commit suicide.

33l: I can't figure it out. 1. She has everything, popularity, reputation, and strength. She's not too old, and has the support of Lu Yinbing Studio. What role can she get? Why did she take such a bad movie? I would definitely avoid it if I saw the name. If I had that much spare money, why would I watch something else? Why did she go to watch a bad movie that says "I am a bad movie" all over its face

34l: She is just making money. It is a sin. As the above person said, she has everything. She can easily make a movie and many people will buy it. Naturally, there is no need to study her acting skills and act seriously. It is true that none of the stars nowadays can keep calm. They will give up everything for making money.

35l: Don't say such harsh words. There are good romance films. Who here hasn't seen a few romance films? I think this is a work where Xia Yitong challenges herself. After all, she has played serious tragedies before. Now she plays a comedy to change her mind and develop in all aspects. I believe in her vision and the studio's ability to select scripts. I will go to the cinema to support the movie when it comes out. I don't lack the money.

36l: Look, there are real brain-dead fans. It is because of fans like you who support any bad movie for your idols that bad movies are rampant in the domestic film market.

A tall building was torn apart here.

287l: Very good, the movie has become a hot topic. Xia Yitong can make such a big splash just by taking a role. She is indeed the most popular young actress in China. Applause.

288l: Someone just asked if it was a conspiracy by the studio. I suddenly remembered that in a post a few days ago, someone said that Lu Shen's retirement was related to Xia Yitong. Lu Shen's agent and Xia Yitong's agent are the same, and Xia Yitong is also affiliated with Lu Shen's company. Could it be that the agent recognized Xia Yitong's true face and retaliated against her severely, so she took this terrible movie? Otherwise, I really can't understand why she took this when she was so good? The agent is so awesome, wouldn't he stop her

289l: Wow, the above comment is terrifying when you think about it, and there is nothing wrong with the logic.

290l: Absolutely fine.

291l: Then wouldn't Xia Yitong be finished? Being targeted by her own agent, it's unlikely that she would want to break the contract. With her level, and signed with Lu Shen, the penalty for breach of contract must be very high. The penalty paid to the company and the crew, these years of work may be in vain.

292l: If you dare to do it, you will have to bear the backlash. God is watching what you do.

293l: I really admire your district. You swear to make conspiracy theories about others without any evidence. Anyway, spreading rumors is not against the law, so you can only bark in this shady corner.

The building tilted again, became a scene of fighting and never returned to its original position.

Originally, this kind of conspiracy theory would have been fine if it had only been spread in the forum, as there were not many people who thought this way. However, someone tried to confuse the waters and lead the trending discussion, so it was posted on Weibo the next day, and a trending search was purchased, so that the whole network could see it.

No, it's well-written and well-reasoned. It depicts Lu Yinbing as a pure and innocent little white flower, and Xia Yitong as a black-hearted white lotus girl. It shows how they framed Lu Yinbing step by step, climbed to a high position, snatched other people's scripts, and took the awards that originally belonged to her. It is all described point by point in detail, but the theme is clear, and it does not fan the flames or stir up emotions. The tone is calm, and it just presents facts and reason, but it turns white into black, without any flaws.

"This manuscript is worth at least tens of thousands." Xue Yao sat on the sofa in the PR department and read the draft for the second time. She was actually attracted by the talent and asked, "Can we find the person who wrote the manuscript and poach him?"

Public Relations Director: “…”

Xue Yao glanced at her.

Public Relations Director: "Okay, Mr. Xue, let's check. In addition to refuting the rumor, is there anything else we should do?"

Xue Yao: "No need to go to great lengths, just add some rhythm. Xia Yitong is very popular with the public. Not many people would believe such groundless things. Is this a novel? And you are deliberately framing the original owner and then replacing him? Do you think I am blind?"

PR Director: "Yes, then I will take some counter-promotion and help promote the new movie?"

Xue Yao nodded with approval on her face.

Being negative is also a form of popularity. Taking advantage of the negative trend to promote the movie, it also saves money. The director of the public relations department is very financially savvy.

An hour later, a clarification statement made by the studio was released through the official Weibo account, and reposted by Xia Yitong's Weibo account. That night, the discussion center changed from conspiracy theory to Xia Yitong's new movie "Love at First Sight" being hotly discussed, and netizens questioned the conspiracy theory. What kind of magic does this movie have

The movie sparked discussions before it was even filmed. Those who were interested in gossip learned about it, and those who were interested in movies also got a glimpse of the content of the movie for the first time, which greatly reduced the cost of publicity.

The movie doesn't have so many fancy backgrounds, there are no love triangles, dog-blood scenes, car accidents, or abortions. It is just a simple romance film, but it is also a little different. The heroine Yi Yanyan is a craftsman. Her ancestors were all craftsmen, sculptors, and the craft was passed down to her generation. She is very talented and has ideals in this regard, but for some reasons she doesn't want to inherit this craft. Then a series of events happened, and she picked up the carving knife again, and once again continued the hard work of her ancestors for thousands of years.

The film incorporates a point that deserves attention, that is, the inheritance of intangible cultural heritage. This is a point that can resonate with everyone. When traditional culture is gradually declining and many amazing crafts are disappearing quietly, people need to know and want to know whether they are still there? Are they still being passed on

But some people have raised doubts. It is a romance film, not a cultural and museum program. Why add this element? It is just to attract attention. A movie is at most 120 minutes long. Ordinary romance films are only a little over 100 minutes long. If you make such a big scene, it will not be able to sustain the film. It will be a shabby show.

However, more people expressed interest and would wait and see how the movie perfectly combines the inheritance of intangible cultural heritage and the element of love, and what kind of work it can create.

The first step of publicity has largely removed people's impression that this is just a bad domestic love movie.

No one knew how much blood the person behind the scenes had vomited.

A few years ago, for some reasons, the country has attached great importance to the promotion of cultural relics. CCTV's cultural and museum programs have emerged one after another, which has greatly attracted the attention of many people, especially young people. These people are the main force of the movie market box office. In terms of the positioning of the target population, "Love at First Sight" has a great overlap with these people, and accurately locked in the audience from the beginning.

Then there are the cast. Xia Yitong plays the female lead. The male lead is also a talented actor. He is in his early thirties, but his face looks young. He looks only about twenty-five or twenty-six. His face is not familiar to all audiences. He is the kind of person who can scare people by checking the awards he has won on Wikipedia. He is a popular young actor, but his face is unfamiliar. The drama is popular, but he is not. It takes into account the freshness of the audience and the quality of the movie. As for the director and screenwriter, people in the industry know that he is very good, but most people outside the circle are not familiar with him. Just like the male lead, searching for his awards and representative works will shock people: it turns out that these movies were shot/written by them, awesome!

With the announcement of the leading male actor, netizens have conducted an in-depth investigation into the film's cast, and the more they dug, the more shocked they became. It seems that the person who originally spread the rumor that Xia Yitong was blind is actually blind himself. With this allocation of resources, the film is unlikely to fail even if it wants to. It depends on whether it can become the dark horse of next year's annual box office.

Many people felt the pain on their faces. Those who had mocked others in the forum were mocked back, and the fans of Xia Yitong were proud. They changed from bending over and blindly posting topics to holding their heads high and selling Amway seriously. There is nothing wrong with the idol they are supporting. He is so motivated and chooses such good scripts.

"Don't talk about netizens. If you hadn't shown me the script, I would have suspected that you were brainless." Xue Yao was talking to Xia Yitong on the phone. When Xia Yitong asked her to choose the subject matter, she had never thought of this type of romantic comedy. Later, she chose Xue Yao and went back to the company to review the script. She finished it in one go. It was light-hearted and passionate, and it combined love and career perfectly. It had both funny and tearful moments. After it was released, its reputation would definitely rise.

Hainan, where the crew is located.

"You've been with me for so many years, don't you know what I think?" Xia Yitong was wearing headphones. Her fingers were so sore from holding a carving knife all day that they hurt every time she moved them. She blew on her fingers as she spoke. Fang Hui opened a coconut and put a straw in it for her. Xia Yitong took a sip through the straw, her voice a little unclear.

"Not that many years, just two and a half years." Xue Yao snorted and said, "The contract is only halfway through."

"Then why don't you just take care of me for a few more years?" Xia Yitong said.

Xue Yao sighed: "Yes, yes, I'll take care of you for a few more years, and then I'll become bald and stronger."

Xia Yitong laughed so hard that he choked on his own saliva. Fang Wei quickly handed him a coconut. Xia Yitong took two sips and spit out the saliva from laughing. He waved his hands hurriedly, but the wound on his hand was pulled and he hissed.

Xue Yao didn't understand the details of the process, but she heard her inhale in pain. She felt better instantly and said with relief, "It's time! This is retribution!"

Xia Yitong coughed for a while and managed to calm down: "Mother Xue, will my death benefit you? I am asking sincerely."

Xue Yao: "Yes, I think I can inherit a little of my daughter's modest... little... fortune."

There was an incoming call. Xia Yitong picked up the phone and took a look. It was an unfamiliar number. "Wait a moment. I'll take the call."

Wait a minute, what are you waiting for? Xue Yao said, "It's nothing else, I'll hang up first." She hung up the phone and went about her business.

Xia Yitong picked up the phone and said nothing.

The other side said: "Hello, is this Ms. Xia Changchang?"

Xia Yitong's heart skipped a beat and he raised his eyes suddenly.
