Huayu's rise from top star to best actor

Chapter 187 I didn’t play with Yang Zi, but with you

On September 2019, 9, Xu Yien left the crew temporarily and went to Wuzhen to rehearse for the concert.

A concert will only happen if a drama is well-broadcast. The film company will not waste money on holding a concert for a money-losing drama.

Previously, "Guardian" was a good hit, but Cool Factory did not hold a concert, which made the fans quite resentful.

"Longing" was a hit, but Xu Yien didn't go to the concert [Great Wilderness Tour Carnival Night] when they were filming "Agarwood Like Crumbs".

When the show was held, fans of the drama were clamoring for their money back because it was not very good. Xiangliu was not present, Zhang Wanyi recited poetry on the stage, and the other people sang terrible.

Well...there was also Deng Wei's fans scolding Xu Yien for "not showing up and not taking the drama seriously" and so on.

Anyway, this time "Lotus Tower" is my first film as the leading male role, so I must do it well!
The plane lands.

At Hangzhou Xiaoshan Airport, Xu Yien walked out of the public passage with his employees.

I met the excited fans, they all paid a lot of money to watch the concert.

Because there are only more than a thousand seats, a ticket costs thousands or even tens of thousands of yuan. Some people who didn't get tickets still came to support.

Wave to them, chat with them randomly with a smile, the feeling of being loved is intoxicating, I am always very happy, and my laughter becomes an emoticon. Some people think that fans are annoying, which is basically because they are floating.

Xu Yien took his employees and boarded the RV that was specially sent to pick them up. Wuzhen didn't have an airport, so they had to take a car. Xu Yien's team consisted of six or seven people, and an ordinary business car couldn't accommodate them, so they had to take the RV.

Team members are all doing their own thing.

Xu Yien was chatting on WeChat, while Xia Mei was surfing the vast internet.

The topic of surfing is also very interesting, mainly observing the competition between Weibo fans and black fans.

Zhou Ye, Yang Zi, Bai Yu, Xiao Shunyao, and Zeng Shunxi fell into the water. Who would Xu Er save? The number one BLG in the Chinese entertainment industry, the white moonlight of gay dramas, hehe, here's a little CP hype shock for you!

At lunch, the Northeastern ladies at the table next to us were probably over 40 on average, and their topics of conversation were all about how handsome Xu Yien was and how sexy Li Lianhua was... Our table's average age was over 27, and all we talked about were social security, pension insurance, and medical reports...

[Auntie Xu Yien has gone through menopause, but her fans are still at this barber shop?]

[This sissy is vomiting blood every day, it's disgusting. The Lotus Tower concert was a small venue with only 1000 people. Even Zhang Yixing's overseas performances can't compare. We held a concert for people. The popular episodes each grossed nearly million. This is the real first hit of the gay drama!]

"Lotus Tower" only had an average of 55 million viewers per episode during its peak run. What's the point of this? Soul Guardian only had an average of 40 million viewers per episode. And you're constantly putting down our Bo Jun Yi Xiao? Not doing business? Fuck you, are you torturing the fans? Aren't we Bo Jun Yi Xiao better than that bastard Xu Yi En who refuses to do business but hypes up his CP relationship?

[Huh? Xu Yien was at his peak with 80 sign-ins on his super topic back then. Can Bo Jun Yi Xiao reach that level? If not, stop bragging. Can you surpass Shen Wei in your hype?]

[Whatever you say, CCTV's leading male martial arts actor, Xu Yien, is already next level.]

"Boss, everyone on the internet is scolding you, saying you look like my aunt."

"Uh... let them be. Things in the fan circle won't affect my popularity with passers-by. Don't show me these things for no reason. Just let me feel the love of the fans~ They protect me from the wind and rain~" Xu Yien chuckled, put on the eye mask, and prepared to take another nap.

After arriving in Wuzhen, they first checked into the hotel arranged by Kiwi. Both the outside of the hotel and the first-floor lobby were filled with fans. Xu Yien greeted them along the way, walked into the revolving door with the employees, went upstairs to settle down, and then went to the Wuzhen Grand Theater.

After getting off the bus, I really thought they looked like a pair of lotus flowers.

It’s so suitable for “Lotus Tower”!

Xu Yien took out his phone and quickly took a few photos, then sent them to Meng Ziyi and Zhou Ye. These two were the youngest and had more free time, so they basically replied immediately. If he sent it to Reba and the others, they would have to delay the satisfaction of receiving a reply because they were older.

Meng Ziyi: [This venue is very beautiful! ]

Zhou Ye: [Congratulations to the leading male actor on his concert, it went off without a hitch! (Love you, cat emoji)]

I chatted with them casually and glanced at the Lotus Building group. Everyone had already started rehearsing in the venue. Xu Yien said, "Hi, hi, hi! Lotus is here!" After that, without checking the message, he walked in and was led by the staff to wait under the stage. The one rehearsing now was Chen Duling, singing "A Beautiful Moonlit Night";
It doesn't sound very friendly to the ears.

Zhou Ye's level is quite unpleasant.

When she saw Xu Yien sitting in the audience on the stage, she smiled coquettishly, waved and greeted Xu Yien. After responding, Xu Yien also went backstage.

Everyone was waiting backstage for rehearsal. When Xiao Shunyao saw Xu Yien, he gave her a bear hug and said, "Here comes the leading man!"

Xiao Shunyao suffers from social anxiety. If he stays with others, he can basically only unblock 20% of his personality, and looks very cold. However, when he develops friendships with actors like Xu Yien and Zeng Shunxi while filming together, he can unblock 80% of his personality and become a very warm person.

The funniest thing is that Zeng Shunxi no longer calls him by his name, but calls him "brother". He is very happy and also calls himself "brother", but there is nothing going on between them, it's just a simple name.

"Here I come!" Xu Yien patted his back, and then hugged the rest of the people one by one, regardless of whether they were men or women. Good colleagues should treat each other equally, and this little detail must be grasped just right.

Ivy Chen said, "I'm looking handsome again recently."

"You always say the same thing. If the place hadn't changed, I would have thought you were stuck in repetition." Xu Yien teased.

Feeling a little embarrassed, Chen Yihan smiled awkwardly, "Isn't this a compliment to you?"

Wang Herun put his arm around her shoulders and said, "Yi En's point is that if you want to praise someone, you should give them something new. You always say the same thing, and it seems a bit perfunctory."

Zeng Shunxi, who was leaning against the wall with his hands folded in front of his chest, chuckled, "Sister Jiao, what you said makes sense. If you ask me, it's better not to praise it~"

He Gang said with a hearty smile: "My junior brother must be praised!"

The actor who played Shan Gu Dao has some representative works. In the old advertisement, "Look at the handsome guy in the front, he is refreshing and handsome. Look at the handsome guy's style, which is fresh and stylish. Piaoying Fresh Gel Water, fresh and natural. With Piaoying, you are more confident~" the handsome guy mentioned is Shan Gu Dao...

You can't rely on advertising for the rest of your life, but his future will be secure. Shan Gu Dao is so hated that he will definitely get a lot of similar roles because his acting is really good. Everyone in Lianluo wants to enter the screen and kill him. Fans of the show are disappointed that Lianhua didn't kill Shan Gu Dao.

In addition to the actors from Lotus Tower, there were also OST singers Yan Yidan and Hu Xia, who also joined the chat.

"By the way, Yien, did you accept the "The Rest of Your Life" offer? I did." Chen Yihan suddenly leaned over to Xu Yien, patted his shoulder, and whispered in his ear. Xu Yien looked surprised: "You? Really?"

"Really!"

"Isn't the leading actress Yang Zi? You're not among the second or third female roles, right?" Something was wrong. Xu Yien really didn't expect this.

Seeing Xu Yien's quizzical expression, Chen Yihan put her hands on her hips and said happily, "Of course it's not me. I accepted the Tencent online movie version. I play Lin Zhixiao."

"Is there a movie version?" Xu Yien was curious.

"Yeah, Yang Zi and Xiao Zhan have already confirmed their S-rank idol roles, so there will definitely be an IP spin-off. I'll be the one to act in this online version of Lin Zhixiao, but there's really a new drama I want to work with you on~"

"Oh?"

Pretending to be curious, Xu Yien said "hmm", pretended to think for a moment, and then said seriously: "Xing Han Canlan?"

"how do you know!"

Chen Yihan's face was full of shock, considering she just got the script last night.

Could it be that Xu Yien introduced him?

Is that so good?

Xu Yien saw her expression change, and to make sure she wasn't going to make a fool of herself, he smiled and said, "I've communicated with the production team, but don't overthink it. I didn't get this role for you, you got it yourself."

"Hahaha." Seeing that he hit the nail on the head, Chen Yihan was even more surprised and asked back, "How can you understand my feelings?"

Xu Yien listened and continued to explain: "No, it's just that your expression is a little too obvious. I'm not a person who likes to show off. Don't be fooled by other men's big promises."

"You mean to say you want to paint a rosy picture for me?"

"No, I don't mean anything ambiguous." Xu Yien said.

The intimacy in Chen Yihan's eyes faded a bit, but it didn't matter. She just said, "I look forward to a pleasant cooperation!"

"Of course. Our Miss Su is so talented and beautiful, she must be a good actress."

"Of course I can. I'm looking forward to our General Ling Buyi. But Yi'en, you look so gentle, can you really play this kind of general? I think you're more suitable to play Lanling King."

Xu Yien patted her shoulder and raised an eyebrow. "That's how the script is written. If I add my own interpretation, maybe Ling Buyi will really become Lanling King. There's nothing I can do. I can't get plastic surgery just for this role, can I?"

"Yes."

Xu Yien sighed, "I didn't team up with Yang Zi, but I teamed up with you. The Yao Liu party will be dissatisfied, but the Lianhua Su party should be very satisfied."

"I am very satisfied, let alone the Lotus People~"

Chen Duling returned to the backstage from the stage and asked curiously, "What are you talking about?"

"Yihan and I are going to work together again."

"Ah? So that's it? Congratulations." Chen Duling applauded enthusiastically, then looked at the others and said with a smile, "Who's going up next?"

Zeng Shunxi raised his hand: "It's my turn!"

Even variety show recordings require rehearsals, let alone concerts. If you just go on stage and sing, all kinds of accidents are likely to happen if you are not familiar with the venue environment.

This is something that no concert wants to happen, but it is necessary work.

Variety show recordings sometimes have scripts. The program will write down the approximate time of the process, what to say, and the more interesting lines thought of in advance in the script. Some concerts also have them.

But what?
What the TV drama concert seeks is an atmosphere, and this atmosphere is what we seek sincerity!
The fans of the drama gave their all with all their heart, and if you try to scheme against them for so long, you'd feel bad about taking their money.

Amidst laughter and joy, today's rehearsal finally ended. We all went out for a big meal together and were all very happy. We had a feeling that this concert would definitely become a big topic in the entertainment industry in the near future. After all, it was one of the most popular dramas in the summer, so it still had some face.

It's not like he's a huge hit, but he's also reached the threshold of a small hit, with an average of over 6000 million episodes across all platforms. Sometimes it doesn't necessarily take a big hit to be a blessing for an actor.

A hit drama is enough.

"Dream of Red Mansions", which is one level lower than "Lotus Tower", has an average box office of more than 4000 million per episode, but it still made Liu Yifei and Chen Xiao a big profit.

These two seemed to be useless before "Dream of Red Mansions", but they became strong again after the show was broadcast.

This is enough to show that hit dramas have a significant impact on actors. Chen Xiao was almost forgotten, but "Dream of Red Mansions" pushed him back to the forefront.

Ancient idol dramas really flatter people.

If Lao Hu plays another ancient costume drama, his recovery will definitely be faster than Chen Xiao's, but Lao Hu is too embarrassed to play ancient costume dramas.

Unfortunately, only the actors were present. Neither Guo Hu nor the producer showed up. The producer was a high-ranking official and had no need to come specially. Guo Hu was also busy with work and could not take leave.

Guo Hu’s previous dramas were criticized, but this "Lotus Tower" was indeed recognized.

Especially the choice of Xu Yien, who was not famous at the time, to play Li Lianhua was simply a "god-like move"!
His comment section is now full of praise, but in a few years, when "Camp with Love" comes out, he will be criticized...

It's so crudely shot that it's bound to get criticized.
