Became the best actor, the system just finished loading

Chapter 329: "Those Years" Released

"Zhao Liying, you're the second female lead, right? Do you have a romantic storyline in the movie?"

Several of the main male actors were asked questions.

As one of the few actresses, Zhao Liying has garnered some attention.

That's the benefit of participating in popular projects.

Even if you only play a small role, as long as you have news value, the media will be willing to dig deeper.

"I am a witness to love."

Zhao Liying was a little nervous. She was worried that she would answer the question wrong, or even offend someone by accident while answering it.

If you offend Qi Hao, this relationship will be completely over.

Fortunately, she was prepared for this question from the media.

As a supporting character who might only be asked one or two questions, she prepared a full seventy or eighty questions that might be asked her.

For example, whether or not you envy An Feng.

If she were to express envy, it would mean she had feelings for Qi Hao, which was clearly a misstep.

To say you're not envious would mean you think An Feng made a mistake in choosing Qi Hao.

For example, asking about love and career.

Another example is asking how to view the fact that a bunch of people are pursuing one's best friend but not one's own friend, etc.

She had considered all sorts of potential traps she might fall into.

The questions asked of her now are the ones she predicted correctly.

A witness to love.

Whether this answer was perfect or not, at least it prevented her from being in a dilemma.

"You met Qi Hao because of your cameo role in 'Lost in Thailand,' right? On set, did you talk more with Qi Hao or An Feng?"

This is another really tricky question.

This is before the media has targeted them; these media outlets are only asking routine questions.

Making it in the entertainment industry isn't easy.

Especially when you are in a lowly position, it becomes a tool to provide topics of conversation.

Only when you become extremely famous will you have the right to make demands on the media.

The topics and tone of the interview should be specified.

"I talked to Xixi more. We actually had a lot to talk about. Xixi is a very easy girl to get along with in private. She's really easy to get along with. I've learned a lot from her."

Her words weren't just flattery.

You only truly understand how beautiful An Feng is, how elegant she is, and how she has such a refined air, once you meet her in person. You'll then realize that she's not actually aloof at all.

With so many people calling her "Fairy Sister," An Feng became someone who was detached from worldly affairs and lacked understanding of human relationships.

But actually, she is very down-to-earth and nostalgic.

She's been using the same chair since her debut and doesn't plan to change it.

She can wear the same clothes for many years.

She can be friends with her friends for many years, as long as they don't wrong her or distance themselves from her.

“I’ve learned a lot from Liying. She’s a straightforward person, but she’s very kind at heart…”

Business blows off each other.

An Feng will reciprocate the kindness shown to him.

Even though Zhao Liying signed with Aunt Hua, with whom she had a conflict.

Although Zhao Liying was discovered by Feng Xiaogang and joined Aunt Hua's group because of it, she did not receive particularly good resources from Aunt Hua.

The downside of large companies is that while they have abundant resources, they also have a large number of people who need those resources.

Moreover, the best resources have all been picked up by the big names.

All that was left were scraps.

Zhao Liying's contract with Hua Yi expires next year, and it will most likely not be renewed.

For someone as insignificant as her, Aunt Hua probably won't make things difficult for her.

In their view, they gave you a chance, but you didn't become famous, which only means you weren't destined to be famous.

However, there are now changes.

That is, Zhao Liying starred in "You Are the Apple of My Eye". She gained some fame even before the movie was released. If the movie is a box office hit, she may also take the opportunity to rise to fame.

It's hard to say whether Aunt Hua will release them then.

After the interview, we started playing games again.

Finally, it's time to watch the movie.

Qi Hao and his companion returned to their seats, holding hands and watching the movie like any ordinary couple.

Among those who attended the premiere, quite a few were there with a critical mindset.

They felt that Qi Hao and An Feng had previously written a book called "A Little Thing Called First Love," which was about high school students falling in love.

This time, they're filming "You Are the Apple of My Eye," and it's still about high school students falling in love.

This is definitely a case of making easy money.

In fact, the production company had already addressed this issue.

These are two completely different stories. The main characters have no similarities whatsoever; at most, the story elements involved are somewhat similar.

School, high school, first love...

In addition, before "A Little Thing Called First Love" was released, Feiyang Media had already bought the rights to "You Are the Apple of My Eye" and finalized the casting of Qi Hao and An Feng.

There's no such thing as seeing the box office success of "First Love" and then deciding to make "You Are the Apple of My Eye".

However, prejudice in people's hearts is like a mountain; they are only willing to believe what they want to believe and refuse to listen to any explanation.

As the movie was released, people gradually became attracted to it.

I'm also willing to believe that "You Are the Apple of My Eye" and "First Love" are indeed different.

There is a huge gap between their public personas.

From being insecure and timid at the beginning to bravely changing for love, Krystal's transformation makes viewers feel like they are seeing their own past lack of confidence, striving to break through for the person they like and becoming better.

Shen Jiayi, on the other hand, is a top student. She represents the most beautiful aspects of youth, and her excellence and kindness attract everyone around her.

The themes of the movies are also different.

The theme of "First Love" revolves around the beauty of unrequited love in youth and growth, while "You Are the Apple of My Eye" elevates the theme to a reflection on the regrets of youth.

The latter teaches the audience to bravely face the regrets of youth, learn from them, and walk more firmly on the road of life in the future.

The profound depiction of the regrets of youth in "You Are the Apple of My Eye" touches the softest part of our hearts and brings a more lasting sense of emotion.

Many viewers who watched "First Love" were also deeply attracted by "You Are the Apple of My Eye".

The film itself is of excellent quality.

The popularity of "First Love" has not completely subsided.

Qi Hao and An Feng's official announcement adds to the buzz.

For the reasons mentioned above, theaters are very optimistic about the film and have therefore given it ample screenings.

All these factors combined led to "You Are the Apple of My Eye" grossing over 3855 million yuan on its opening day.

Previously, "Aftershock" grossed 3620 million yuan on its opening day, surpassing "Transformers 2" (3371 million yuan) and "Avatar" (3303 million yuan) to become the new champion of China's first-day box office.

And this champion's throne was not even held for a month before it changed hands to "You Are the Apple of My Eye".

Three days after the release of "You Are the Apple of My Eye".

Feng Xiaogang was asked this question during a media interview.

He certainly wouldn't let such popularity slip by.

He immediately started complaining.

One complaint was that the actors he chose didn't have any idols and couldn't create any on-screen couples.

This is a criticism of Qi Hao and An Feng for creating hype.

Actually, he wanted to make money from it, but unfortunately, he didn't know where to start.

After all, "Aftershock" is a pure commercial film, and he will use any means that can help increase box office revenue.

Secondly, they complained that the audience's quality was getting lower and lower.

He believes that the audience cannot see the artistic core at all. His film "Aftershock," which is so excellent, actually lost to a movie about first love in the box office on its opening day.

This is a disgrace to Chinese cinema.

Audiences should reflect on themselves and ask themselves what makes a good movie; theaters should also reflect on what kind of film they can support by giving so many screenings to "You Are the Apple of My Eye".

Feng Xiaogang made his move, and the media flocked to Qi Hao.

Hopefully, he can offer some rebuttal.

Thus, the feud between a veteran director and a rising star director is about to begin.

However, Qi Hao completely ignored him.

Just as Feng Xiaogang was posting his rant on Weibo, An Feng uploaded a new Weibo post.

The content shows her and Qi Hao cooking together.

This is a proper stir-fry.

Qi Hao taught An Feng how to make "stir-fried mung bean sprouts with shredded pork" at home.

This was originally a Zhejiang cuisine.

However, Qi Hao made some slight modifications, making it no longer sweet, and also added some vermicelli.

An Feng's accompanying text also mentioned that he ate a large bowl of rice.

Neither of them had any intention of confronting Feng Xiaogang.

However, this counterattack was very powerful.

Many more people went to the cinema to see "You Are the Apple of My Eye".

This allowed "You Are the Apple of My Eye," which initially had a high level of popularity and an explosive number of viewers at the beginning, but whose popularity might have cooled down later, to maintain its box office for several more days.

Feng Xiaogang was greatly disappointed.

He went so far as to provoke Qi Hao, hoping that Qi Hao would hurl insults at him.

If Qi Hao takes over, "The Great Earthquake," which has been in theaters for almost a month, could also reignite its popularity.

Unfortunately, Qi Hao remained unmoved by reason.

He actually had the nerve to cook with his girlfriend.
